The Hunter (1980)
Bogus bogosity
I love Steve McQueen, but this movie is really LAME! Imagine where even a chase scene can be boring with pointless actions. The ending is stupid, yet predictable.
The Family (2013)
Vapid and silly
I've got to believe all the positive reviews here are studio plants.
This thing is a schizophrenic Black Comedy/Serious Movie wannabe, and fails on both counts. Unrealistic coincidences, ridiculously illogical situations, idiotic plot, it's got it all. DeNiro - as is his want recently - mails it in, Pfeiffer alternates between New Yorkese and straight midwestern accents, the "French" child extras look straight out of Malibu beaches. I agree with another reviewer that the dog gives a credible performance.
That's two hours of my life I won't get back...although admittedly I should have quit after twenty minutes.
A Thousand Acres (1997)
What a sappy piece of tripe
This just in, folks:
Women (all, no matter how depraved) are good; men (all, no matter how virtuous) are bad.
Meat- eaters bad, vegetarians good.
The ONLY reason I didn't rate it one star is the somewhat decent performances by Pfeiffer and Lange.
Talk about Hollywood trashing the heartland - as it is so fond of doing.
The producers and directors should collectively be hanged.
