The Leading Man [1997]

starring: Jon Bon Jovi, Anna Galiena, Lambert Wilson, Thandie Newton, Barry Humphries
directed by: John Duigan

January 05, 2004
I bought this after reading the reviews on Amazon. I've never seen Jon Bon Jovi in a film other than his rather small part in Blaze of Glory 2 and that wouldn't show him as an actor.
I sat down and put this film on and I found that I really enjoyed the film. It isn't the best film I have seen but it's a nice little film with a good story line that plays well from the start to finish.
I actually was able to watch this film and forget it was Jon bon Jovi rock star and actually saw the character he was playing. So that proves the guy can really act.

Miss Julie is a seriously excellent adaptation. Some might dislike its very stagey feel, but with the amount of utterly uninteresting plays I've seen lately, I could not have been more pleased! With only 3 proper characters (although we might add the silent presence of the Count), a set basically consisting of one room and some very intense dialogue, it's a very claustrophobic film.

Saffron Burrows is quite spectacular, carrying the emotions of Miss Julie magnificently. And Julie is a pretty emotionally unstable gal! The passion, the anger and the vulnerability all explode onto the screen (the bird-scene is just pitch perfect) and leave Mullan, to be frank, a little behind. Still, his performance is subtle, even if it does ... Read More:

Local Hero [1983] (REGION 1) (NTSC)

starring: Burt Lancaster, Peter Riegert, Fulton Mackay, Denis Lawson, Norman Chancer
directed by: Bill Forsyth

September 21, 1999
Still my favourite film almost twenty-five years after its release. Nice to see so many other people also rate it so highly. Makes you wish you were there on Scotland's west coast.
