I went through a binge. A major movie binge. If it was a movie and it was on tv, I watched it. If it was a movie and it was on tv and I owned it, I popped it in the DVD player and watched it without commercials. Cause commercials suck.
Let me recap what I watched: Philadelphia, Misery, and Die Hard. Quick few sentence opinion of each. Philadelphia is a drama of great magnitude. Johnathan Demme manages to make it very a revealing look at discrimination, through his combination of uncomfortable close-ups and subject matter. Very good acting, too. Misery is a classic look at obsession. It's a little campy but the overall package, especially the famous 'hobbling' scene, is terrifying. Kathy Bates makes you cringe thinking about being in her care. Die Hard is the bomb. Enough said.
