Hearts Divided (1936)
A Fun Film
I don't generally obsess over the historic errors in films, especially comedies. That may be why I was able to enjoy this picture and the many fine performances. Claude Rains as Napoleon was particularly good. In fact his performance here was the most complex and interesting portrayal of Napoleon I recall seeing which is impressive given the generally humorous tone of the film.
While far from a classic this is a fine movie with many good lines and a very talented cast.
Rushmore (1998)
I guess I just don't get it.
While this movie certainly had its moments, over all it just didn't work for me. The characters didn't seem self consistent, and I couldn't figure out why they were behaving the way they were most of the time. Add in the sometimes jerky editing and lukewarm acting and you get a final product that is less than satisfying.
Night of the Comet (1984)
Only the strange remain
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It has everything, humor, drama, references to uzi's and the end of the world. You can't really take it seriously though if you want to enjoy it, as there are plot holes the size of a semi throughout. If you're looking for a weird quirky film that has a lot of humor and a few surprises, this would be an excellent choice.
