Sneakers (1992)

Guilty Pleasure

[7/10 · 14 March 2005]

There are a bunch of movies which might not be GREAT, but really good, and you can watch them over and over again. Rainy day movies. "Sneakers" is without a doubt such a movie.

It is a lightweight caper which gets into a higher division thanks to the acting: Redford is always good, as is Strathairn, Kingsley and McDonnell. The other actors do a really good job as well, but these four stand out in my opinion.

There are twists and turns in the script, Great San Francisco locations and lots of underplayed humor in this film, all contributing to that the movie can be seen several times.

Take it for what it is, and you'll have a really good time in front of the TV.

Fishing with John (1991)

Fantastic!

[11 November 2004]

Being a fan of Lurie and/or Jim Jarmuch is certainly a plus when buying this. Being a fan of both I ordered it and received it just the other day.

One third home-video, one third fishing-documentary and one third spoof, this is a fantastic DVD to own! And I'm not even remotely interested in fishing!

How good is it? I watched all the episodes in one sitting, then watched them again, this time with commentaries. How often can you say that of a purchased series on DVD?

This one's a keeper!
