Perfect Witness (1989, Robert Mandel)

January 25th, 2008 · No Comments

Perfect Witness is a standard TV movie, even if it was on HBO (I’m not sure what got it on HBO even… language, maybe?), even if it does have a great cast. During the opening credits, it’s names like Brian Dennehy, Stockard Channing, Delroy Lindo, Joe Grifasi, and Aidan Quinn. Robert Mandel directed it. It […]

Stakeout (1987, John Badham)

November 20th, 2007 · No Comments

I think home video–tape and disc–has done a great disservice to John Badham and his legacy… as in, with this digital (or analog) evidence, one has easy access. Instead of coming across Stakeout at 11:30 P.M. on a Thursday night, pan and scanned, cut for content, and full of commercials, I can sit and watch […]

The Stars Fell on Henrietta (1995, James Keach)

May 11th, 2006 · No Comments

I wonder if, in the early 1970s, anyone could tell Robert Duvall was going to end up playing the scruffy-looking, ne’er do-well with the heart of gold over and over again. He doesn’t particularly act in The Stars Fell on Henrietta. He just shows up and does his thing. His scruffy-looking thing. There’s some attempt […]

The Assignment (1997, Christian Duguay)

March 23rd, 2006 · 1 Comment

Since it’s Robert Ludlum week here at The Stop Button (actually it’s not, these two were a coincidence), I watched The Assignment, which is an unofficial adaptation of Ludlum’s Bourne trilogy. Again, I read Ludlum back when I was in junior high–maybe early high school–and I remember seeing this film and wondering why it wasn’t […]

Blink (1994, Michael Apted)

September 13th, 2005 · No Comments

Do you know how much a romantic, early morning mist, Brad Fiedel-music scored ending costs? More than Blink’s got. What’s up with Fiedel never getting jobs? Guy’s great.
What’s funny (sad) is that I really thought Aidan Quinn was good in the film. He’s good in one scene, when his irritating “Chicago” accent isn’t going. James Remar’s […]
