HUSTLERS 2019

Start 'em off with a single, then a double, then a triple, then back to a double, and back to a single. You want 'em drunk enough to get their credit card then sober enough to sign the check.

Last Action Hero (1993)

Last Action Hero didn't find its audience in 1993 and critics didn’t respond particularly well to it either. Following its perceived failure, director John McTiernan has gone to say the final product wasn’t what he originally envisioned. I say stand by your movie. I’ll be right there next to you. This is great stuff! Ahead of its time, clever, funny and filled with memorable moments, Last Action Hero deserves a second look.

Danny Madigan (Austin O’Brien) loves Jack Slater, a action movie character played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. He’s seen the first three movies and his friend Nick (Robert Prosky), the projectionist at the run-down local movie theater, offers to let him watch the fourth one early. As the first scene begins, Danny is sucked into the screen. While trying to explain to Jack that he’s a fictional character, the movie’s villain, Benedict (Charles Dance) begins to suspect the boy can be useful to him.

It’s a pitch-perfect parody of action films of the time. You see a nameless thug impaled by a runaway ice cream cone - a deadly frozen treat blown into the back of his skull by an abnormally large explosion of dubious origin. Slater smirks “Iced that guy - to cone a phrase”. Wow. If that isn’t simultaneously the best and the worst post-kill one-liner I’ve ever heard, I don’t know what is. The screenplay by Shane Black and David Arnott is full of tongue-in-cheek moments to satisfy fans of Arnold Schwarzenegger���s over-the-top portfolio, and those who recognize why the trend needed a slap in the face. It piles on the jokes and just keeps getting funnier as it gets along. Type casting, the choice of soundtracks, the phony “555” phone numbers, the roles a comedic sidekick plays in an action movie, spin-off characters, movie logic, pretty much every aspect of blockbuster filmmaking gets a turn through the ringer. There are so many jokes there's no way you'll catch them all on a first viewing.

If there’s a deserved criticism for this endlessly quotable, memorable, imaginative and clever movie, it’s the length. It lasts 131 minutes, which would be a long time for a regular movie, never mind one that’s constantly breaking the fourth wall. The picture earns that time thanks to a wild turn maybe 2/3 of the way in but I understand why some audiences might be getting antsy in their seats at that point. The thing is, this Last Action Hero is smart. It’s so smart people at the time didn’t get it and many still don’t. In an alternate universe, Benedict escapes to the real world and Danny and Jack follow him right before the credits begin, setting up a sequel to a smash-hit. In our world, this movie WASN’T successful. Had it not gone on for the length that it is, we would’ve never seen this world explored as thoroughly as it is here. The movie may be wild with the funeral Jack needs to crash, the gimmicky bad guy who swaps out his glass eye depending on his mood, the insane stunts and nonchalant attitude towards massive body counts but you haven't seen anything yet. The film takes a wholly different, grim tone that asks us to consider what differentiates the reality and fiction.

More than anything, Last Action Hero is fun. When else will you see Schwarzenegger in an action-packed rendition of Hamlet, or a police station whose officers include dominatrix models? It’s a criminally underrated film in Schwarzenegger’s filmography. I’ll take it one step further. I think it’s one of his best films. (On DVD, June 14, 2019)

David Strathairn Appreciation: 

Johnny in Lost in Yonkers (1993)

[oldbaton]

ok one more thing about danny webb's performance as NY gov al smith. al smith was gov in the 20s and was this very blustery nyc working class guy. but also very jovial "look at dis guy ovah here!" type of thing. and moses and al had this working relationship that allowed him to build the roads.

he has one big scene in the first act where he drops by the office (which is a thing politicians used to be able to do. drop by places) to reprimand moses for starting work before he signed the legislation. and it was so good. because you saw how he connected with people and won so many elections in his life time. but you saw the holes in his ethics. he was also fantastically funny. the character also has a lot of mood swings and webb navigated them SO well. he mostly very jovial but when he looks moses and goes "youre going to do what i tell you to do" its so chilling. but then he goes back to being peppy and he makes it organic- not easy. just one of those delicious big supporting performances where he enters and the play shifts from when his foot hits the stage.

like the theatermania review got it really well:

"No actor is having more fun than Danny Webb as Governor Al Smith. Chomping on a cigar, swilling bourbon, and spilling political wisdom, he's like the love child of George Burns and Yoda. Moses is the sun around which this entire play orbits, but when Smith enters the room, the center of gravity suddenly shifts. Without telling us, Webb shows us how important executive support was to Moses."

definitely a personal fav stage performance of 2022.

#re: the foot hits the stage comment #mercedes ruehl was like that in torch song #also i wrote the shift comment before reading the review that also uses the phrase... for the record

Fancher also penned the script, based on on the 1991 novel by Lew McCreary. Owen Wilson, Janeane Garofalo, Brian Cox, Mercedes Ruehl, Dwight Yoakam, Dennis Haysbert, and Sheryl Crow star.

The Minus Man has been newly restored in 2K from an interpositive. Special features are listed below.

Special features:

Audio commentary by writer-director Hampton Fancher and producer Fida Attieh, moderated by film journalist Max Evry

Theatrical trailer

When quiet, aimless and amiable Vann Siegert (Owen Wilson) drifts into town, no one suspects the evil that lies beneath the surface. Despite his easy charm, he is merely a reflection of what those who encounter him want him to be. The more Vann tries to make a go of his new life, the stronger the mysterious forces are that pull him in a darker direction. When locals start to disappear, it becomes clear that an eerie subtraction is at work among the lost and lonely of this sleepy, seaside hamlet. People look toward Vann, but no one can quite put their finger on who he really is. Through it all, he carries on a surreal dialogue with imaginary detectives who question his crimes and motives.

Pre-order The Minus Man.

On August 19th, Jonathan Demme’s absolutely sublime 1988 comedy Married to the Mob celebrated its 35th anniversary. The film tells the story of a former bridge-and-tunnel mob wife (Michelle Pfeiffer), who seemingly never felt comfortable in such a role, trying to find herself with a fresh start in the Big City. Married to the Mob features an all-star supporting cast—Matthew Modine, Dean Stockwell, Mercedes Ruehl, Alec Baldwin, Oliver Platt, Nancy Travis, Joan Cusack, Chris Isaak and more!—all of whom seem to be having a blast.
