Movie Review: Nostalgic look at friendship
Summary: 5 Stars
I love The Big Chill. The first time I saw it I was just a teen and thought how great it would be to grow up and be so close with such a great group of friends. Now, 20 years later, I am drawn to the movie every so often as a reminder of how great it is to have long-lasting friendships and all the drama that goes along with that (good and bad).
The soundtrack is like a character all its own in this movie, as fully deserving as all other characters for all the air time it gets.
Because of some drug use in the movie, it's doubtful you'll find this played on TV much (without a lot of editing any way). That's one of the reasons I had to buy it--to have the full movie in all its glory.
Movie Review: What a great movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
I could watch this movie over and over, especially the less stressful parts. To me, this movie has that in common with "Four Weddings and a Funeral": it's one of those movies you can just enjoy painlessly.What a relief it is to see Glenn Close behaving like a 100% normal person for once! I think all of the actors behave differently here than in any other film in their careers. They're almost unrecognizable. It's like you are actually spending time with them, not watching them "work."
The soundtrack is great, the story is just superb, well told, well acted, impeccable timing.
And watching that young girl stretching her legs almost all the way behind her head, like it's effortless has always made me green with envy.
Movie Review: Great film about friendship!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie depicts eight best friends who have just suffered the loss of one of their close friends. They all get together at his funeral, and then spend the weekend together in a huge house. They recollect their memoirs about times spent together over the years, and get to help each other out in various ways as the weekend progresses. The performances are great, the soundtrack is perfect, and the direction by Lawrence Kasdan is out of this world, making this a must-see film! A true classic! *The R rating here is a very tame one. It was given this rating for profanity (there were about 8 F-words), a scene of breif nudity, and two very mild sexual scenes.*
Movie Review: Irresistable
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my all time favourites. I'm assuming you know what the film is about. The cast is first rate, Tom Berenger and William Hurt particular highlights and the throwback to 1960's nostalgia is irresistable.
One complaint on the DVD though! Why not release those scenes depicting the characters way back when and finally getting to see Costner? According to Kasdan himself, that would be damaging because his character, Alex, should remain faceless so the audience can imagine him anyway they want. Guess what, we all know it's Costner who played him so we already are imagining him as Alex everytime he is mentioned.
