Under Cover (1987)
A classic 1980s B movie
Yes, it's dumb. And predictable. And the production values are bad (not to mention the continuity). But, darn it, I just love this little flick! The clothes and hair! This was when I first fell in love with Jennifer Jason Leigh - all hot and sweaty with the Louisana heat! The locale is captured nicely, and they obviously all know this isn't "Lawrence of Arabia" or anything.
But I know what really makes this movie stick in mind is the Todd Rundgren score ("Hello, it's me. You-oo-ooo, you know that I'd be with you if I could ...") His first full score, I believe.
Great to put on in the background while you work on another project.
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006)
Ick.
Certainly a good holiday "babysitter" film - you can safely park the kids in front of it. But it is very very far from either of the first two films. The story was obviously chopped together in editing, with extra parts added at the beginning and end. Our favorite part was the end-credit bloopers - we would have LOVED to watch two hours of that!And what happened to Bernard??? Curtis, the poor-excuse-for-a-replacement,is the Heir Apparent to this year's Supporing Actor Razzie! It was nice to see Charlie, but again, Lucy is a very poor replacement. This film should have taken off in an entirely different direction instead of trying to rehash everything from before. BUT- kudos to Martin Short!! With a better script and better director he would have been back on top with this wonderful character!
