MCT:May 7, 2008Mariel Hemingways best performance, not saying much but Bob Fosse knew how to direct movies. Boy do I miss him.

Bob Fosse's Boogie Nights.
Eric Roberts gives a fantastic psychopathic performance in this heavy drama by the master director. -
MCT:November 3, 2007Eric Roberts takes a lot of heat as an actor, but he is AWESOME in this. Creepy. As. Hell. He was born for this part. Hemingway is fine, but Roberts steals the show. Quite an engrossing film, actually. Catch it on tv sometime.

Show biz careers, what strange things they are. Who would have thought that Bob Fosse, brilliant hoofer and choreographer would end his career with a film as bleak as this? Who would have thought that Dorothy Stratton, with the showbiz world opening up before her would end up with her head blown off? Who would have thought that Eric Roberts after putting in a performance ike this (and The Pope Of Greenwich Village and Runaway Train) would end up stuck in B grade crap for the rest of his life, more famous for being Julia's brother? Maybe he was too convincing and the people who matter thought he really was the sleazy arsehole he was playing.
Bob's always had a keen eye for sleaze and here he really lays it out, without any of the fun he usually pokes at it. It's a pretty gruelling experience. He lets you know right up front what you're in for and you just have to spend the next hour and a half waiting for it to happen - wishing it wouldn't.
It's a great lesson about thinking about what you want and why you want it and also - not to be flippant - good advice on how not to behave during a break up.
RIP Bob. -
MCT:May 27, 2007An excellent film exploring the life and death of Playboy supermodel Dorothy Stratton. Hemmingway is brilliant as Stratton, and Eric Roberts is superb as her husband, Paul Snider. A true look at Snider's obsessive nature with Stratton and her career?
