Peace under the Golden Gate

What a strange silly film. 1994 was not a great year I guess for Hollywood and for Schwarzenegger. Apart from being absurd, the humor there may have been between some of the frames and shots has disappeared. The film still survives as some kind of entertaining slow motion mental disposal animated and agitated void and empty discourse on the taste of the cosmic wind on the other side of the moon. But if you want to taste the slightly nostalgic vision of San Francisco and its cable cars be my guest and enjoy the trip.

Aerosmith

Supposedly the slightest of the Schwarzenegger comedies. There's definitely something not quite right with all of the scenes, but some are terrific. Pamela Reed adds as much as Emma Thompson. Banquet scene is quite successful, wedding slapstick with smaltz. Interesting, and touching, bit by Judy Collins who, of course, was herself considered far from a 'natural-born' mother. (Didn't John Pinette, the clothing store clerk, also appear as the Kinks bartender in Raw Deal?) Perhaps Junior could have been been funnier if more outrageous but Reitman seems anxious not to outrage. The movie is sentimental. This is a sentimental topic. This is the Schwarzenegger bid for all female hearts. This time the guys in the audience will just have to deal. That's fine but one complaint: couldn't Reitman have gotten an Aerosmith song for the end credits?

Romance rates better than the plot

Emma Thompson as Dr. Diana Redding need I say more? The most prose English actress out there had the most wonderful physical comedy role in her carrear... playing a klux.

From the first moment that Emma showed herself in the movie when she literally jumped ontop of the run away freezer and she shouts "Help me! Help me Now!" as she rolls down the ramp and into the lab and Arnold stops the freezer and she falls ontop of him. You knew you had a hit. It was wonderful that she knees him as she is getting to his feet and you can't help but laugh as the strong Arnold gets to his feet holding onto his family jewels with both hands.

The romance between Diana and Alex starts off at the convience when they dance. Now everyone knows that Emma is a wonderful dancer in her own right; but the way she handled herself in "Junior" was top notch. Especially when she spies the toliet paper on her shoe. Kicking off her shoe to send it sailing into a plate of salad was simply classic. I loved how Alex bent down and put Diana's shoe back on, total Cinderella moment here folks, I loved Emma's stance as she looked down into Alex's face.

I loved it when Diana showed up at Larry's house and she started to talk about how she knew Alex from before and how she had a physical connection to him; her surprise when Alex said it was sexual. Their kissing scene was hilourous especially when she went over the tipped couch. Total great moment when she was leaving the house and she was leaning into Alex's quick kisses; and the purse strap in the door was simply divine.

Emma did a wonderful job when Alex finally told her the truth about "Junior", I could feel her pain over the loss of her frozen egg and the loss of her being the one to carry HER own baby. The song morgluge was wondeful although I wish they should more of Emma in it.

I loved it when she showed up at the retreat, the setting and the clothes were simply beautiful and I wish they had more time to talk more about what Alex had done to her. I loved it in his private room with Emma at the mirror and her looking at the sleeping Alex. I wish Diana said more to the baby before she left the room.

I wish Diana and Larry had more time to fight over his stealing her egg and impregnanting Alex with it. I mean that issue simply had to be addressed more. But I loved it at the clinic when Larry had to kick her out of the delivary room because of the danger; you could see the sheer fear in Emma's eyes. When she was in the waiting room with Angela was simply brillant; what a way to take Diana's mind off of what was going on with Alex and her baby when she had to help Angela with her conactions.

I loved the line of Diana's "I have a little girl", usually that's the waiting father's line. I loved it when she was in the room with Alex and her daughter and she got to meet her daughter for the first time. I wish Diana had the chance to hold her child to her in the movie, she never got to hold her child.

The romance waits way better than the plot. I was doubtful when I heard that Emma was playing against Aronld; but Aronld surprised me as he did in "Twins" and "Kingteon Cop". Total 10 stars for the romance and 2 1/2 for the plot.

Terminator meets Nanny McPhee

What a hoot. I love Arnie in comedies, and when he teams up with Danny Devito it's a sure win. Then, to have Emma Thompson in the mix!

Don't know how I missed seeing this one in the theaters, but I'm glad I bought it for home. Gave my sons a whole new view of the Governator.
