Kika (1993)
I seem to be the odd one out.
I found nothing good about this film EXCEPT the MUSIC! This soundtrack is phenomenal especially if you like Latin swing/mambo and DRUMS. But the lyrical and over the top emotional stuff is very good too. I want to rescue this soundtrack and give it a deserving film.
I did not find the movie funny, satirical or entertaining. I love a good satire as much as the next person but this I just found disturbing at times and a waste of time the rest, despite Peter Coyote. It has been years since I have seen it and I won't give it another try but I cherish the soundtrack which I first heard in a Tower Records in NYC probably 1993. Bought it right away. And that's where I am with Kika.
The Dollmaker (1984)
One of Jane Fonda's proudest achievements!
I read this book about a year or so before it became a movie. I have loved Jane Fonda from long before this, I being born in the 60's and discovering the Golden Age of Hollywood as it was heading for the door in about another 10 years. I had watched many of her films, dramas and comedies and by 1984 she had the reputation of a Hollywood Goddess and a consummate actor par none. So I felt this most amazing book, so moving, so touching, so heart wrenching and in the end finding hope was in the hands of one who would do it the very justice it deserved. I was not disappointed! To the tee Jane and company portrayed the story and its characters fully and truthfully to the original of the author's genius. Thank you to all for portraying these usually unseen folk as the authentic human beings they are. Blessed Be!
