Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

    What you'll find here are comments on the movies through which I've cried, yawned, laughed, and rolled my eyes since it first occurred to me to record my film thoughts while they're still fresh in my mind (early 2002, some early reviews thrown in as a bonus. You're welcome). Entry dates reflect my screening -- parenthetical dates are US release (aka Oscar eligibility) years.
    Yeah, a movie review blog isn't very original. But originality is overrated. Just ask Michael Bay.

A Touch of Class (1973)

The first hour or so was trite and self-congratulatory in its "aren't we grown-up about our adultery arrangement" story line which then devolved into a wannabe comedy resulting from their stupid web of deception. Surprisingly, the finish was strong and, although I never liked either of the principals (or any of the supporters, for that matter), the last scene was almost touching in its loneliness. Glenda Jackson was a solid Oscar choice for her acting – too bad the movie itself is kinda slimy.
