The Appointment (1982)
Did not care for this movie
"The Appointment" is confusing (the opening scene has nothing to do with the rest of the movie), slow and boring. I watched this movie four times, the first three times I fell asleep. I finally got through the entire movie the fourth time. After the movie ended I wanted to know one thing: What was that (the movie) about? Like I said, the opening scene (a girl getting snatched out of nowhere by an unseen force--the only interesting part of the movie) has nothing to do with the rest of the movie. The rest of the movie is about a spoiled little girl who gets upset with her father because he cannot make it to one of her "concerts." So she decides to kill him using supernatural powers. At least, that's what I think it's about, but I'm not really sure. As I stated earlier in my post, the movie is confusing and makes absolutely no sense at all.
Girlfriends (1978)
Excellent movie
I am so happy that I set my VCR to record this movie back in '96 (or'97) because it hasn't aired on TV since then...at least not here in NY it hasn't. This movie basically follows the friendship of two women in their 20's, living in New York during the late 70's (not the 80's). When one of the women decides to marry a man she barely knows, the other feels abandon and goes on a journey of self-discovery. "Girlfriends" is both funny and depressing, but depressing in a good way (if that makes any sense). I won't go into any further details about this movie. I will say this, though, if you're lucky enough to get your hands on a copy of this movie, watch it and you'll find yourself watching it again and again. I've lost count on how many times I've watched it. Yes, the movie is that enjoyable. I like it.
