![]() ![]() Do you think Sir Anthony is serious or just bluffing? - Cynthia I. that his portrayal of Hannibal the Cannibal glamorizes serial killers. Recently I read that Sir Anthony Hopkins has cooled to the idea of a sequel to " The Silence of the Lambs," due to media criticism in the U.K. I've been trying to put together a list of the ten films which are cultural landmarks, must-see films to be American. I am teaching immigrants from China and decided they should be introduced to the pinnacle of American culture: the movies. If he had been highly-paid, it would have been me. OK, was that you, or a highly-paid celeb look-alike in the movie premier scene of " Last Action Hero"? - Jim DeckĪ. Is it true that the little boy who played opposite of Whoopee Goldberg in " Clara's Heart" is really YOUR little boy? - Jim Cook But I find I either have to constantly adjust the volume or play the entire movie at a raised volume and hope I can hear what's being said. When I rent a movie, I want to pop in the tape, adjust the volume, and sit back and enjoy it. This problem is academic to me and others who view movies by renting or buying tapes. In recent columns you addressed the problem of digital sound systems in movie theaters and how difficult is can be to understand the dialog. Yours is the only explanation that accounts for what otherwise is a puzzling lapse. Because the audience and the lawyer ( Rebecca De Mornay) know that the character did commit the murder and did hide his tracks, your question was, how to explain this alibi that is false and supplies an unnecessary glitch? My answer is that by producing this witness he is telling his lawyer that he can make a woman do anything he wants. In your review of "Guilty as Sin," you were puzzled by the appearance late in the film of a reputable woman who provides Don Johnson's character with an alibi. Either (a) The anacronisims add an ironic note to the film, hinting that the material is being filtered through a modern sensibility, or (b) like many young filmmakers, Kalin cannot imagine the world without touch-tone phones and channel-surfing. We were viewing Tom Kalin's movie " Swoon" last night and noticed several inconsistencies, for example touch tone phones and TV remote controllers, even though the movie was set in the 1920s. I even know that "trois" means "three." - Laura Elizabeth Durnell (Oak Lawn, IL).Ī. We do have intelligence reaching above that of a trained seal. Why do members of the media believe the public is ignorant of all facts not found in the Sunday funnies? After awhile it becomes irritating to constantly listen to media figures talk down to the public. In your review of " Hot Shots! Part Deux," you said that many people would not know that "deux" means "two" in French. I sensed there was something implausible about that plot. In the major leagues, isn't an underhand pitch illegal? - Paul Dunn (Peoria, Il)Ī. In the movie " Rookie Of The Year," the 12-year-old Cubs pitcher throws his final pitch directly underhand. Yes, and that's where Hackman draws the line. Do you have to be married to Tom Cruise to have your name on his posters? -R. How come on the " Far And Away" movie poster both Tom Cruise's and Nicole Kidman's names were featured, but this summer's poster for " The Firm" has only his name on it? I thought Gene Hackman was also in this movie. ![]()
