Last movie you watched......

Two multi-Oscar winning 80s movies that don't hold up at all:

Tender Mercies. A pretty young widow hires and then instantly falls in love with an alcoholic drifter old enough to be her father. Not even even Duvall's performance can salvage this stagy, inert movie.

Moonstruck. Incomprehensible behaviors abound. Nic Cage's first scene is crazed and unhinged....even for him and yet Cher immediately falls in love with him, the brother of her fiance. The fiance is conveniently kept in Europe for 90 percent of the movie visiting his sick mother (the same mother of Cage's character and he doesn't seem to care at all about her).

Vincent Gardenia's mistress subplot....please, just ridiculous. And John Mahoney as a pathetic, womanizing NYU professor who only dates his students is portrayed as being charming and misunderstood. Pass.

 

Watched Saturday Night Live, enjoyable, some good laughs. Lorne Michaels really was ahead of his time and we’re the better for it.
