Porky's (1981)
Awful...
...and the some. Beginning of the obsession with sex we have now. If you need a lesson how to pervert youngsters, here it is. Deserves NO stars. End of.
Cape Fear (1991)
Not a thriller, just a killer
I remember seeing this when it came out. I left in shock, and 30 years later, that shock is still there. Nonsensical script, the actors misdirected, the direction itself...painful. Do yourself a favor, and watch the original. Please. Life is just too short.
Cape Fear (1962)
A must see classic
Simply flawless. Others here have given excellent reviews,so I will not go on unnecessarily. This is one classic you need to see, in order to understand what a real thriller is meant to be. Acting,script [psychology, people, psychology...and a moral dilemma to boot ! ], cinematography, lighting,music...unrivaled. If you want to see the EXACT opposite, watch the remake, which is SO bad, you will want to scream-and not with pleasure...Watch this and sleep with the lights on... AFTER you made sure your daughter is safely tucked up in bed.
New Worlds (2014)
Whatever happened to Angelica ?
I really wanted to like this, having watched (and cried my eyes out) over "The Devils Whore" (the worst thing here being the rather unfortunate title...). It sets off 25 years after Angelica loses Sexby, and follows her daughter's life. The change in character of Angelica is, quite frankly, unbelievable - a woman so passionately in life/love becomes sedate, and ends up burnt at the stake over a misrepresentation concerning her last husband??? The daughter is, to all intends and purposes, rather a bit...shall I say, confused. Despite Mr. Dornan doing his thing, most actors here simply cannot hold with John Simm,Andrea Riseborough, Maxine Peake, et al. The script is confused, and, imo, sloppy. Overall very disappointing - could have been wonderful, but was just a chance missed.Stick with the original instalment, and avoid this...it's worse than Cromwell ever could have been.
