'Conviction (1)'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
he's really much better as a character actor than he is as a leading man
Agree with this. I think, actually, that people would appreciate him more if he didn't insist on going back for the paycheck blow-em-ups so often. I mean, I think of him first as a comedian, but that's because I was 10 years old when Moonlighting was on. Most people think of him as Grim Face Action Man, which, dull.
Hudson Hawk.
Yeah, I'd have to say I like Bruce Willis more often than not. I even like some of his lesser action items (STRIKING DISTANCE, LAST BOY SCOUT) and even some of the seriously reviled ones (like COLOR OF NIGHT, but only the longer version they showed on cable because it actually makes sense even if it's still WAY over the top).

You mean The Last Boy Scout, which I liked too.

Yes, my god. I'm even going back and changing that. shudder
Frank likes Last Action Hero -- pass it on.
Last Action Hero though with Ahnold, is unfairly misjudged, I think. It's a nifty look at action movie tropes and the real world.
I liked Last Action Hero too, though. I don't know why, but the memory of watching it in a San Francisco theater while eating a Burger King chicken sandwich still sticks with me.
Connie my sistah!
Once again Polter and I are twins separated at birth and by a couple of decades.

I would have been like twelve when it came out. And I mean, when you're a growing movie buff, the idea of characters just walking out of the screen into the real word is so very magical and cool.
