Thank you, I received it very quickly and enjoyed receiving it. I collect Julia Robert Movies.Movie Review: Astounding Scott Coffey Showcase
Summary: 4 Stars
Yes, it is a good movie but what is important is the performance by Scott Coffey that lifts it out of the doldrums and raises it to cinema lightning. Whenever he appears, you can't watch anyone else, including such certified scene stealers as Julia Roberts and Trini Alvarado. Trini, as the car thief Mooch, gets to have some nice romantic moments with Nicky, the young pianist who could have led the Van Cliburn lifestyle but instead has opted out to discover his heterosexuality on the beaches of Charleston, SC, playing volleyball and managing to work up the nerve to kiss the abrasive, sociopathic Mooch with his gorgeous, plumlike lips. As Jennie Lee, the woman who sets the plot in motion with her scheme to leave the rough city and have a rocking beach party summer, Justine Bateman is worth every penny the producers paid her.
I can't personally imagine how she ever missed being not only the number one movie star in the world, but also a pop singer on the order of Joan Jett or Kelly Clarkson.
She sings everything with conviction, and when the plot requires her to stumble on a song, she does it equally well. And she doesn't stop rocking as long as she's in front of a mike.
The plot is sort of about Liam Neeson who used to be somebody in the rock world; his beach home is decorated with gold records documenting his storied career, and he's burnt out since his wife died, but along comes one young girl who gets him to write that one song again. JUST LIKE RENT. This song, "Talk to Me," isn't as egregious as "One Star Glory," or whatever the Rent version is, but in both shows, they build up the song through the whole plot, so that whatever follows can't live up to the hype. But who cares when Scott Coffey is 1) showing off the craziest flat top hairdo of the whole 1980s 2) then switching to a hat and suspenders 3) playing a really tall piano standing up, his little hands making flapping motions on the keyboard as though he were making pancakes or pizza. His chest, and stomach, are absolutely flat--you could make a level out of him for your I-Phone app. I fully expected him to run off with Deborah Harry at the end of the movie but, instead, he -- well, you have to see for yourself. He is marvelous whether essaying Rachmaninoff or Steve Cropper, he's the Coffey Man.
Movie Review: ...how soon we forget...
Summary: 4 Stars
...one review previously states, that they can't imagine julia roberts ever being a 'second-billed' actress, and that, shortly after this movie, that all changed...how soon we forget, that shortly after the awful 'pretty woman' came out, she was again being 'second-billed' to the likes of dennis quaid and susan sarandon, because her own career was tanked...and it wasn't until "my best friend's wedding",(which was originally offered to sandra bullock), that her career picked-up again...but her box-office appeal still does not match her salary, as most of her films consistantly visit that all-too-familiar tank...now, about this movie...it's not the greatest film in the world, not the worst, but it certainly rocks at some points, with justine bateman doing an admirable job at lead vocals, and the choice of music doesn't hurt either, with a soundtrack that i used to play over and over again("mystery dance" is still great!)...the acting by everyone, except julia, is also pretty up-to-snuff, considering the dialogue they had to work with...and liam neeson, well, he could read a phone book and make it sound interesting...Movie Review: love 80's movies
Summary: 4 Stars
i am a big fan of the 80's movie even though most are a bit corny. And the same goes for this one at times but i love it. You get to see Julia Roberts and a younger Liam Neeson which is great. Also has a pretty good sound track and Justine Bateman does a good job of lip-syncing. Save when it looks as if she is gonna eat the mic. Over all is a good movie. Hope this review helped. Enjoy the movie.
