Review Blind Date [1987] (REGION 1) (NTSC) / Columbia TriStar:

Bruce Willis' first starring vehicle was 1987's Blind Date, a Blake Edwards comedy in which the actor plays a yuppie set up on a blind date with a beautiful blonde (Kim Basinger). Everything goes swimmingly until Willis does what he was warned not to do: give the lady alcohol, which causes her to get entirely out of control. The one-note joke basically turns the film into a succession of set pieces in which Willis has to keep up with Basinger, bail her out of trouble, or get out of the way of her hot-headed former boyfriend (John Larroquette). Willis is fine, Basinger is impressively unhinged, Larroquette is hilarious, and Phil Hartman has a nice role as the friend who set up Willis' evening from hell. The slapstick shtick is classic Edwards, but the film is not Edwards at his most inspired. Consider Blind Date the work of a good filmmaker in a holding pattern. -Tom Keogh, Amazon. com.

Review Speechless [1994] (REGION 1) (NTSC) / MGM:

In the screwball comedy Speechless, Michael Keaton and Geena Davis are political speechwriters with bad cases of insomnia who meet, fall in love, and then discover that they are working for opposing candidates. The subsequent short-lived war of dirty tricks and one-upmanship is one of those contrivances that is soon (and thankfully) discarded in light of their instant rapport and mutual respect. In a world where candidates are for sale and campaigns are fought like poker games, these idealists are made for each other-they just don't know it yet. Director Ron Underwood (City Slickers) has a light touch with comedy and a nice feel for romantic fun, but it's the charm of Keaton and Davis that puts the bounce in an otherwise limp political satire. -Sean Axmaker.

Actors & Directors
  • Lila Kedrova

  • Patrick Dempsey
  • Michael Hoffman
  • Jennifer Connelly
  • Sheila Kelley
Run time: 89 min.

Review Sisters (1988) / MGM/UA UMV115494:

Also known as 'SOME GIRLS', this is a great late 80's romantic comedy/sex comedy, starring the then ubiquitous Patrick Dempsey (The Woo-Woo Kid, Sweet Home Alabama, Tv's-Grey's Anatomy) as Michael, a young college student who visits Quebec to spend Christmas with his beautiful girlfriend Gabriella,(Jennifer Connelly,-Labyrinth, A Beautiful Mind, House Of Sand And Fog), and her very eccentric family. Part romantic comedy with lots of nudity, part crazy family drama, this is a wholly original and very charming and underrated film from director Michael Hoffman (Restoration).

Review The Owl and the Pussycat [1970] (REGION 1) (NTSC) / Columbia TriStar:

Good credentials abound in this 1970 adaptation of Bill Manoff's hit Broadway comedy. Buck Henry wrote the screenplay, and Herbert Ross (The Turning Point) directs the surprisingly funny pairing of Barbra Streisand and George Segal as, respectively, a semi-literate prostitute and an egghead. Streisand and Segal turn out to have excellent complementary styles (both are good at playing incredulity), and while the film is not always as witty as it could be, scenes are crisp and highly entertaining. -Tom Keogh.

Review The Prince and the Showgirl [1957] (REGION 1) (NTSC) / Warner Home Video:

The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) was Marilyn Monroe's only British-made film and scores highly for curiosity value. There's something rather outrageous about this iconic American star playing a second-rate hoofer living in a theatrical boarding house in Brixton. Monroe herself is predictably good and touching as Elsie Marina, plucked from the chorus to entertain the Regent of Carpathia for the evening and ultimately smoothing his rough edges. There is, however, a rather uphill feeling all the way. The making of the movie was by all accounts a troubled experience for everybody concerned. Monroe, increasingly unreliable and exasperating, had an unsympathetic director in Laurence Olivier, also playing the Regent Charles, who hardly had the patience for a star of her mercurial talents with her own ideas of professional behaviour. His own performance as the Balkan royal is hammy and mannered and there isn't even a damp squib of sexual chemistry between them. Terence Rattigan's script, based on his successful play, is far too wordy and stage-bound. But somehow Monroe effervesces through all this adversity, aided considerably by British character actor Richard Wattis and the great Sybil Thorndyke, who became her ally during the difficult filming. Not vintage Marilyn but fascinating all the same, and she looks fantastic. [+]
On the DVD: The Prince and the Showgirl is presented in 4:3 with an occasionally muffled, apparently mono, soundtrack, giving this DVD a rather dusty quality which is in keeping with the vintage British 1950s production values. Extras include a cast list, original trailer and newsreel footage of the announcement that Marilyn was to make the film with Olivier, referred to at that stage as The Sleeping Prince. -Piers Ford.
