The Second Arrival (1998)
First one was a lot better.
If I was the Director I would have claimed Alan Smithee status. Patrick Muldoon was a huge disappointment. The writing sucked. I'm also sure they put in a lot of time in the editing room. I was really shocked when I finally saw the CG. That must be were they spent all the cash. And those handy dandy cabs that just happened to be there at just the right time. Zane: "We gotta get out of here. How did you get here?" Bridget:"I took a cab." Zane: "Me too!" Stellar writing there. Oscar material all the way. I'd say if you want to have your own MST3K night at your house, this is THE movie. Too bad Charlie Sheen couldn't have just done it:(
Le mépris (1963)
Goddard at his best.
Must see for fans of either Bardot or Goddard. Criterion edition packed full of useful extras. The film first appears to be very dull and boring but has to be watched a second or third time to be fully appreciated. One of Bardot's finest works next to Le'Verite. A special treat is to watch the master Fritz Lang at work. The whole idea that Goddard was able to convince him to get involved with this film is a testament to the fact that quality film making does not fade over time. Also filming on location in these exotic locations was an added bonus to see along with Bardot who at this point in her career was seriously considering retiring. Awesome film and a pleasure to watch.
