My 2 cents-I finally watched Hannibal over the weekend (my wife was out of town and she's never forgiven me for renting Silence of the Lambs). One of the worst movies I've seen in recent years, with a ridiculous plot-sure, the world's most notorious serial killer can ingratiate himself into the artistic community of a major European city and no one will notice. Truly awful-both Mamet and Scott should have realized that you can't polish a turd.
Bruce's comments about T & L were spot on, in my view-I recall both my wife and I commenting that if this were real life, it would be a positive to get 2 women that stupid out of the gene pool! Bruce mentioned Bette Davis, I totally agree-I'd add several Katherine Hepburn films to that list.
Alien-a truly great film, a masterful redo of the "and then there were none" plot. Terrific ensemble cast-Ian Holm, Harry Dean Stanton and Sigourney Weaver were particularly outstanding. The pacing of the film and the terror it generates for the 1st time viewer are amazing.
Gladiator was enjoyable, although admittedly cartoonish. Blade Runner is a visually stunning film that has not held up well for me on repeated viewings. I can't think of a single reason to watch GI Jane (well, maybe 2 :) 1492 was so pathetic I gave up halfway through (did'nt Pacino do a similar bomb on the same subject?)
