Over the
past several months I have “reviewed” several “Oldies” that, upon some
reflection I decided didn’t merit the appellation “Golden”. Here are some, with comments.
Miss Congeniality: Genuinely funny the first time
through – but I’ve seen it three times.
Sandra Bullock is great, Michael Caine is greater – and William Shatner
should have stayed on the Starship Enterprise. B-
The American
President: Michael Douglas is okay, Annette
Bening is better, Michael J. Fox is amusing.
The script, In the age of Trump, is inadequate. C+
The Big Easy: Watch if you like Cajun music. Otherwise, give it a miss. C
Traffic belongs on this list of not-so-Golden Oldies> It is a gritty depiction of life on the drug frontier suring the height of our “War on Drugs”. It is really depressing. The acting is fine, especially that if Benicio del Toro, but the story leaves you unsatisfied. Watch it if you need something to bring you down off a happiness high. C+
