Running Mates (2000)
Dreadful..
Dreadful acting. A thinly veiled attempt to slam those on the left side of the aisle.
Women are subjugated and revolve around men. Tom Selleck shows his acting range from A to B.
The Reagans (2003)
Sorry acting!
I thought I would watch this on Showtime to see what the flack was about. I was never a fan of the Reagans so I figured I wouldn't be bothered. But, what bothered me was the acting. Brolin did resemble Reagan. Nancy is portrayed as a pill popping shrew of a mother and a control freak who controlled everything. As Reagan said, "You're in control, Nancypants." The kids were cardboard characters who hated their parents and didn't much like one another. Reagan came across as obsessed by Commies and clueless in general. I don't know if it's factual. I do know it was not a documentary. When I see miniseries, I generally think fiction. I would have enjoyed it more if the acting had been better.
The Cider House Rules (1999)
Interesting Movie and even more interesting comments
I thought the acting fine and the story line quite interesting. I also think it is not a pro-abortion propaganda film as some would state. In fact, Homer seemed quite pro life, but learns that life has gray area and choices must sometimes be made. Nothing is ever easy. I recommend this film.
