Well...far chance that will be soon. But I would think one way to start is to have a movie review section on my blog. and im gonna do just that. (For some hi-fi stuff on this, check out 'Movie review' by James Berardinelli. Well alright, he is cynical most times, but good reviews!)
Yesterday I saw this movie called Cadillac Man..will begin with that. I'll prop the imdb link (for you to see some details) and then write my review...sometimes if im too bored, ill just leave a few lines to start the thread.
Movie: Cadillac Man
Starring: Robin Williams, Tim Robbins and others.
IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099204/
Cadillac Man would be one of the movies I would recommend highly, out of the movies I've seen of Williams, to show the actor's comic talents. The others would be 'Good morning Vietnam' and 'Mrs. Doubtfire'. (Of course to get a more rounded idea of this man's talents, also watch Good Will Hunting, Awakenings and Insomnia!!! Maybe also watch his very very crude and vulgar live broadway stand-up comedy show :-D )
Anyway in the 1989 comedy flick Cadillac man, Robin Williams stands out in his role as the Car salesman for Turgeon car sales. He is impeccable in his comic sense of talent at umpteen places.
The movie starts off with him trying to selling a car at a funeral parade (LOL) and getting called the 'Scum of the earth'. Later we get to know his job is in danger if he doesn't sell a dozen cars in a DAY (!) and that he is divorced with a kid out of that wedlock (who is missing now!) and that the other girls in his life are his week-spots and are ripping him apart.
With all these problems on a Sunday, when he is sure things could not get worse, see what happens! :-)
Result is a mediocre fare I agree. Many times the plot is so bizarre that it makes you snicker and laugh at the same time. But watch it for Williams, his one-liners can happen when he is asleep.
By the end of the movie you feel this was a 97 min gab-gab show by the actor, but hey wait Tim Robbins too steals the show as the pathetic 'terrorist' he he ...what an insult to that word in those quotes.
So go watch it...good to pass time on a weekend.. This movie confirms to me that Williams is one of the most terrific comedians around, comparable to Steve Martin, Bill Cosby and others...and makes me go and grab more of his movies!
