It's turning into a Mel Gibson season. I watched "The Man Without a Face" again as BH hadn't seen it. He asked if we could watch more movies by the director, who of course was Mel Gibson. Once again I noticed the beauty of the place, and the graceful lines of the boats. I think Mel Gibson must be a cat lover as this movie has a good cat cameo in it. I get a little frisson of enjoyment when I hear Gibson's Australian accent creep in now and again.
Tequila Sunrise
Mel Gibson, Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell in a drug dealer/cop friendship movie. Quite watchable. Pfeiffer is gorgeous as always, even with shoulder pads, young Mel Gibson is very attractive, Kurt Russell not so much, even in his Disney days - remember "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes"? Gibson and Russell are old school friends, Gibson is a retired drug dealer, Russell is a cop. Pfeiffer is a restaurateur and love interest. She and Gibson have chemistry and rather a lot of sex - in one session! Prophetic line: "Stop talking or I'll smack you" or something like that. Once again there is a cat cameo, and we have a brief glimpse of Gibson as a Baywatch boy ... honest. Skullduggery, double crossing, bent coppers, plenty of action. The Mexican police chief is Raul Julia, he was the dad in "The Addams Family" movie, so suave and sexy. Just a fun action movie.
The weekend is here again. Have a good one.
