I've experienced different feelings about movies I've seen when I was young. Sometimes the memories are better and other times you enjoy the movie on other levels.
With inflation adjustment, the king of all time is still Gone With The Wind (1939).
What strikes me the most was that her attorney didn't mentioned the photo fit picture when he sums up her description of the girl with the bike (she gave to the police a few hours after she saw her).
She said the bike was new, and evidences proved it was right, with some case attached to it. Also proven right. Then it was said that she might have not well seen the girl, because she might have been on drugs.
How on earth someone on drugs can help create a photo fit picture that looks exactly like the girl that was arrested. She has never seen her in her life.
The sketch is a proof, that is completely forgotten by her attorney.
On the other side, as you said, no proof at all, other than a very questionable list of guests.
All the names on one line, but theirs was added in between lines, later. Seriously?!
I doubt that with that proof in mind, they'd lose the trial. But then, no movie.
For one second I thought about her older adopted children and couldn't believe it. Of course it's her younger daughters, and it's always special to work with family.
I often guess the twists (annoying) but didn't see that one coming. Jaw dropping and well played
When someone showed me the info on fb, it was late and I didn't check the Web.
A few pages about the hoax, still hard to understand. Went to two reliable sources to double check and was relieved.
People share info without checking the source
Just saw the ending, sad it was dropped.
The ending was really happy for everyone (too much?) and the last frame was a hint for season two.
I enjoyed it but they rushed the last 10 minutes. They should have taken the time to end it property.
One of the rarest shows based on a movie that wasn't a total failure.
Very distracting I can't see her emotions, just a clay face. Hollywood needs to stop this non sense, transforming some movies into wax museums.
Either we get very young actresses, no brain no talent, dressed with the same uniform, vulgar plunging necklines dresses, so short and tight that they can't move nor sit; with spike heals. No one dresses like that in daytime.
Or we get actresses over 40, sometimes much younger, who become wax figures with fish lips.
Do they want to ressemble their fake photoshoped alter ego?
This is not real.
Another actress ruined by plastic surgery.
Very sad.
* Twin Peaks "Simply brilliant. When it ends, you want to start over again."
* The Twilight Zone - "Always expect the unexpected"
* Dexter - Blow my mind the night I saw the pilot".
* Angel - "I only wished for a much darker and mature environment for him. The show answered my prayers, hooked".
* Battlestar Galactica "very clever writting"
* Westworld - "brilliant acting"
And also
Golden girls - "You can't beat Sophia's wit!"
Desperate Housewives
Revenge
Friends
If you like this series, you might love the original movie La femme Nikita (1990), directed by Luc Besson. Very strong acting.
Watched last episode today (8), website says it's the season finale (previous ones ran 10 or 11 episodes).
It's really sad to see that human slavery still exists in our countrys. Even hidden in plain view.
Someone said at one moment that everything has a price, and if you don't pay it, someone has to pay for you.
We need to open our eyes and understand that some bargains aren't:
You have a "small" price because someone else had already paid the other part.
I'll catch the other seasons. Great show, with strong performances.
From last episode (#8) of season 3, we learn that it was the mother who hurt her. She confessed having dropped very hot water on her arms.
Previously, a police officer had shown her photos of the wounds, including some on the back. He added that it was hard to self inflict those. Then he had shown her one of the letter the nanny had sent to her son. You can easily understand that she described there, her daily torture.
Later the mother decides to fully confess to the juge, blaming her husband's behavior towards her and "his" son for that.
You nailed it, just like Thelma Ritter. Very clever woman who chose to educate herself when Joan was too drunk (and keep the children away from that show). She might have earned a degree or two...
Her thoughts about women directors are clever too.
Didn't like the ending either. Just like a slap in the face. Again nothing is resolved. It came full circle, and back to square one.
Jason wanted something not complicated, and left.
Someone is watching, could be anyone or the general opinion, always wondering was really happened. Their neighbors, friends at the event. It could be an invisible threat, as they had to keep their secret forever, and never let jealousies or anything break their bound.
Only a few are worth watching.
The whole movie is great with an all-star cast rarely seen all together.
You wonder if you got spoiled. Sadly yes, but you don't know why they did it. So there's still a mystery to unveil.
Don't you like Peter Falk in Columbo? We learn from the start who did it, but still enjoy watching Columbo gathering clues, and framing the murder(s) thanks to little details.
I've read wonderful things, just like you said, and he's up there in my watch list.
Too bad. Time to sleep after best movie.
Coming up Best actress, hoping for Isabelle Huppert
