We will fix that error ASAP. Thanks for the notice, Dan.
Hey Dan. This error has been fixed.
Thank you WoC….you are awesome!
One of my favorite actresses. So glad she is having a slight comeback in 2017. She was the best part of Mother. I will be seeing her this weekend in Murder on the Orient Express. My favorite movies would be Batman Returns, The Witches of Eastwick and Dangerous Minds. Love ❤️ this page..
Hey Helakoski….glad we did a UMR page on one of your favorite actresses. I would not be surprised if she picks up a Best Supporting Actress nomination this year. Mother might a movie that the Oscar people support…even…the general movie public strongly dislikes that movie…..but if Jennifer Lawrence gets a Best Actress nomination…I can see her bringing Michelle with her. Heck she might even win. I really enjoyed The Witches of Eastwick too. Thanks for the kind words about our Pfeiffer page.
“I am Superman’s Father Hear me mumble!”
Hey Bob….was Brando in Superman? I was not aware of that…lol.
HI BRUCE
I am sure that by now you are at least aware though of his sterling work in Superman Returns !!!!
Hey Bob…..I thought that was Russell Crowe in Superman Returns…..no wait it was Kevin Costner….Brando in a superhero movie?…I don’t think so…..if that was the case….then Superman Returns would be part of our Brando UMR page…..just checked…nope it is not there….I guess you are mistaken…..lol.
HI BRUCE
Touche !
1 HI BRUCE. I don’t have a movies memorabilia collection like the one Flora thought I was trying to poach from her [Remember the row over that? We sure knew how to have fun back in those Halcyon days whereas nowadays it’s often the doom and gloom provided by Joel’s humorless pontification!] but down the years I have collected important stats like Variety rentals and Cogerson grosses and selected critical reviews [sorry nothing of Joel’s] of movies and performances that I considered of historical significance to my own personal idols – for example my Doris’ foray into Hitchcock with The Man who Knew Too Much, The Duke’s directorial debut in The Alamo and Sir Maurice’s early US movies.
2 Browsing through some of that stuff I came across a review by Time magazine of Americaway back in 1978 that caused me to think “This will interest ole Brucie”.
“Newcomer Christopher Reeve handles seamlessly the dual identities of The Man of Steel and Clark Kent and for the most part the rest of the cast are good in their respective roles. However it is left to Marlon Brando in an opening 15 minute segment to provide the professionalism and entertainment value in the old way that was almost automatic among the big stars of Hollywood’s great days but which is often not quite there nowadays.”
Hey Bob….. ?
Hey Bob….my autograph wall has not had an addition in many a moon….but what I did receive still blows me away. Yep….hard to believe how fast time has moved…..pretty darn scary! We will always have Steve’s sarcasm…..lol.
Thanks for sharing the Brando/Superman review. Very interesting information. Your feedback and comments are always appreciated.
“I am Catwoman… hear me roar!” The beautiful and talented Michelle Pfeiffer finally gets her UMR page. 60 next year? Jeez, and she still looks great. Looking forward to catching Murder on the Orient Express on blu-ray some time next year, even if I do know how it ends.
I’ve seen 18 of the 41 films on the chart. Favorites include – Scarface, Batman Returns, Stardust, The Witches of Eastwick, Wolf and Ladyhawke.
I have yet to see Age of Innocence or Dangerous Liaisons.
Annette Bening as Catwoman? nah I’m glad the role went to Pfeiffer. I know Sean Young was desperate to get the role even turning up at WB Studios dressed in a homemade Catwoman costume trying to get their attention.
Another top page Bruce and thanks for the share. Vote Up!
(Btw you still have Kim Novak’s name over the video.)
Hey Steve.
1. Thanks for the visit, the comment and the tally count.
2. So you have seen 18 of her movies….I am at….counting…28…or her movies….including seeing 6 in theaters….Batman Returns, The Story of Us, Into the Night, What Lies Beneath, Witches of Eastwick and Tequilla Sunrise.
3. Your favorites are all good movies. Scarface is my brother’s favorite movie……while Witches of Eastwick, Ladyhawke join Tequila Sunrise and One Fine Day (yes a Clooney movie) as my favorites.
4. Age of Innocence was a one and done movie to me….I enjoyed Dangerous Liaisons much more.
5. Pfeiffer made a fine Cat Woman….though I enjoyed Hathaway’s Cat Woman more.
6. WoC fixed the Novak name error sometime this weekend.
Good feedback as always.
