He made pool interesting.
He could do mean-spirited very effectively.
This film hasn’t been on TV for years but when it was I was terrified that one day I would end up like Joanne Woodward’s character.
In honour of Lindsay Lohan’s “coming out” (though I would dispute that for the past year or so she has been out – certainly out and about), I watched Freaky Friday and it was a real treat.
Jamie Lee Curtis is a lovely actress and so is Lindsay who was as endearing in this as she was in Mean Girls. This is better than the Jodie Foster version because I don’t remember that being nearly as funny as this one is. It also kept its “walk in another person’s shoes” message from being treacly particularly through some great performances from the entire cast.
My only caveat is I don’t like what Tess did to Stacey’s test.

A terrible waste of voice acting and some stunning animation. I don’t understand why the plot isn’t the most important thing for a film that can’t be improvised and so developed that way. To hear the directors talking on the commentary that they didn’t know how to plot Akima’s journey from jettison to slave ship so they didn’t bother is mind-boggling.
And that music…

Humphrey Bogart – a poster from a Karsh exhibition featuring this photograph used to hang on my wall
James Cagney – he is not like the others
Charles Boyer – he had the most beautiful deep set eyes and I find the manner of his death moving
Steve Cochran – I couldn’t find a photo to do him justice compared with his on-screen presence – I love him in Come Next Spring
Clark Gable – he is so handsome in this photo – he really was a stunner without a moustache
Cary Grant – at any age after he hit his thirties he was gorgeous
Paul Newman – at any age he is handsome but in profile he was unbelievable
Conrad Veidt – there was something commanding but at the same time soft about this man
