Old movies


One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Nicholson won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role in this film, which prompted me to
finally see the film 29 years after it was made. Well worth the wait, I can appreciate it
more than I would have a decade ago.

The nurse was classic.
Was he or wasn't he crazy? I could go either way on that call.
Why did the Native American do that in the end? He could have recovered.

The Last Temptation of Christ
This film was wrought with controversy and being the 'good' catholic I was, I did not
watch it. I had to watch it in preparation for Mel Gibson's "The Passion."

While I can appreciate the controversial portrayal of Jesus, I thought this was
b-o-r-i-n-g. It just looked old and the 'special effects'...spare me.
