VHS Movie Reviews of Masquerade (1988) [VHS]
Movie Review: Underated Classic deserves to be Re-discovered
Summary: 5 Stars
A brilliant spellbinding thriller in the genre of classic Film Noir, directed by Bob Swaim, winner of several French Cesars for his now classic French film, La Balance. Like in La Balance, Swaim's European sensibilities mixed with his American pacing makes this film not only one of the great suspenseful thrillers of the 80's but perhaps one of the most original. It's Meg Tilly's hottest, sexiest film and Rob Lowe's most convincing portrayal of a complex and contradictory character. Aside from being incredibly sexy, the film is full of twists and turns that keep the audience guessing. Why don't they make films like that, anymore? And what ever happened to Bob Swaim?The supporting roles are fabulous, particularly John Glover and Dana Delanny who give one of the best performances of their careers. Truly a classic, this underrated film deserves to be re-discovered.
Movie Review: How about the title "The Man Who Knew Too Little" or "Two an
Summary: 5 Stars
Sorry, I couldn't finish the title since there weren't enough spaces to finish it. Please, fill in the blanks. This movie was very well done, for a dramatic thriller. I thought watching it the first time through that it was an exciting unfolding and unexpected twist of events. However, I did not like the ending, and it seems that the same thrill could have still lead to a happy ending. I like happy endings. How about some humor and fun added, such as in the movie with Bill Murray, "The Man Who Knew Too Little". I don't mind all of the exciting twists and discoveries, but Rob Lowe could have been portrayed at the end as a saviour and he could have ignored the rat, and saved the scene, followed by a wedding and the birth of a child. Why do all of his movies seem to be left as "cliff hangers" with depressing endings. The only one that really seemed to have a happy ending was illegally yours, and stories from my childhood 2. The love scenes in the movie were sensual, erotic, touching to a point, but more emphasis could have been made on the actual relationship between Rob Lowe and the two women he was supposed to be involved with, who are listed as among the three leading characters. Also, the yacht scenes were exciting, and more time could have been devoted to the involvement of Rob Lowe and his love and interest in racing boats, and Meg Tilly's interest in boating could have been developed so that the two of them together could have entered a yacht regatta and won, instead of coming in second place. That to me would be so much more uplifting. The bad guys were eliminated, but unfortunately so was the good guy, so what's the point? It's depressing. At least they should have had a funeral or she should have had the birth of her child to add some kind of more positive feeling to the movie. That is my opinion.Movie Review: How about the title "The Man Who Knew Too Little" or "Two an
