Water (1985)
Whirlled Politics in the Sun
Haven't seen in years, hope it goes to DVD soon. What a cast this one has, Caine is brilliant, Connolly is perfect. Brenda Vaccaro is well... hysterical, if you liked her in Zorro the Gay Blade, she's even more over the top in this film. You might not want the kids to watch this one as there is lots of Hemp use of all kinds...Rope Soup...If I remember properly this is a "Handmade" film. A film house George Harrison was involved with. Connolly as Delgado Fitzhume bastard son of the islands Clergyman was hysterical. The writing on the film is great with fantastic characters, the Cubans with their T.I.T. (Terrorism, Infiltration,Television) almost killed me with laughter. The island of Cascarra, where the wind blows from all directions all the time. The whole plot/story line is, under the comedy, totally cool to any progressive person.
If you get a chance to see this movie, get the blender, make a drink and enjoy a hysterical romp in the sun. Enjoy
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988)
Another masterpiece from Frank Oz
Just found it on DVD, loved it when it came out and still do. Caine & Martin are both brilliant. DVD commentary by Oz very interesting did not know was a remake of "Bedtime Stories" staring David Niven (Lawrence) & Marlon Brando (Freddie).
Even though the subject matter is very mature it will go over the heads of young children so let the kids watch and let them marvel at the comedic talents of two great actors. Martins improv. skills shine in a few scenes.
Anyone who doesn't know Mr Caine can do comedy must watch this movie, another good comedy of his is a film called "Water". Another funny film with a great cast.
Anyone who doesn't know Mr Martin can do Dramatic rolls should check out "Grand Canyon". A deep story with an all star cast
