Minor spoiler: The editing in this movie seemed to be inspired by a combination of Sliding Doors, Groundhog Day, and that X files episode with Mulder trapped in the bank. And the soundtrack, I thought it was excellent (except for "what a difference a day makes" that seemed out of place, especially since timing as a matter of SECONDS not a day is what's crucial in here...perhaps that dance tune called Seven Seconds by Nomansland would have been much more appropriate) (and it IS on a German released compilation CD so they wouldn't have had to go far to get it). I might not have even known about this movie if it weren't for watching Siskel (RIP) and Ebert weekly.

Tin Cup
(1996)
disappointed
28 January 2000
I had thought of seeing this movie when it was out, and having enjoyed Rene Russo in Thomas Crown Affair (ok I enjoyed her naked), I got the video, and I thought it was very boring. Luckily I also rented Run Lola Run so the night wasn't a total waste.
Mischief
(1985)
Some insight on the movie
25 January 2000
I found out about Mischief in 1984, when I was in Ohio and heard that they'd made a movie in Nelsonville. (That is the town with the 'square' in the middle of downtown featured in the movie). Except then the working title of the movie was "heart and Soul" (thus the closing theme song). I saw the movie on 2/7/85 at a radio station (z100) sponsored preview. Those who don't remember it, well it was in the theatres for about three weeks.
Despite being made in '84, but set in the 50s or early 60s (i forget) they didn't have to change much about Nelsonville to get that look. Much of that town looks the same way today. I went back to Nelsonville in May 1985 and people told me that they just added a few store fronts, put different signs up, and routed traffic the wrong way around the square (when do you get to a 'circle' in the US and keep left...see the background in the closing scene). Actually some of the movie was shot in Canal Winchester...like they drive down the street in Canal Winchester (up near columbus) and come out at Public Square in nelsonville.
When I saw the movie I gave it an A+ for setting and an A- for content. I would say "Jonathan" is more like a typical boy than a nerd, just a shy one who likes girls but doesn't know what to do about them (until Gene comes along).
Well, I could probably write a lot more than imdb allows. I probably know more about the movie than most people that aren't in the film industry or don't live in Ohio, since I talked to people and drove around looking for places where certain scenes were shot. if you wanna talk about this movie email me
