Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde (1995)
Light, fun, good for a few laughs
Nothing to write home about but cute enough, and if you are a big Tim Daly fan as I am, you'll notice there is a LOT more of him to see than you ever did on "Wings!" He looks fantastic in (& out!) of his tighty whities. As far as everything else, it was a light, fun, no-brain-required little movie, entertaining for the 90 minutes. I'd watch it again sometime. Well, I just previewed my review and am told I have to use up ten lines of text... let's say I can take Sean Young or leave Sean Young. As usual, Jeremy Piven is fun to watch. I am also kinda getting into Stephen Toblowsky. He is kind of quirky and a hilarious comedy actor. Harvey Fierstein seems kinda wasted in this movie, just the usual stereotyped gay man working in a perfume company, but he's OK too.
Nuit et brouillard (1956)
Good, but could be made better
I had one heck of a time reading the subtitles. I can honestly say, I probably couldn't read about 75% of the stuff. The majority of the film is old b & w footage, and they did the subtitles in white lettering!! Trying to read white on white AIN'T easy. They should re-do this film with subtitles in color (red, green, blue, even yellow may do the job) but I felt kinda cheated that I couldn't read most of the words. I really wanted to because you could tell that this is a pretty intense documentary. The footage itself, I have to say I'd give it an ''A Plus." Though it is disturbing and upsetting (and a little unsettling at times, when you think how the Nazis could actually DO those things to other human beings).... the documentary itself is great.
