Jacknife (1989)
6/10
Good movie, but the play was better.
19 August 2005
Like a few others I have noticed within the comments section of this movie I also performed this in college as the play entitled Strange Snow by Stephen Metcalfe. I performed it first as a Dramatic Interp and then as a Duo Interp, both times doing very well with it. That is neither here nor there...I think the film lacks the feeling and mood of the original play. I understand things had to be cut for timing reasons, but it seemed at times that important portions of the play were erased in the movie. And the monologue near the end is blunted in movie-land. But all in all, a splendid effort with strong performances by DeNiro, Harris (in his best pre-Pollack role) and Baker. Watch this movie, then read the play. I think you will see what I mean.

The Simpsons (1989– )
It doesn't get any better than this...

Funny. Funny. Funny. One of the best (if not the best) TV Shows ever made that has only aged gracefully and has never jumped the shark.

The Simpsons will live on past it's final episode much like Gilligan's Island or The Brady Bunch, but without becoming the running gag like those two shows have.
