The Big Chill (1983)
Neither here, nor there
I found this film one of the more boring I've seen recently. It reaches no great heights, nor any real lows. I feel that it may not have aged well, as most of the discussion seems lacklustre and outdated. Most of the characters give you no reason to like them, especially those of Jeff Goldblum and John Hurt who are quite unlikeable.
I wouldn't recommend against it, but I fail to see how it is considered a 'classic'
The First Turn-On!! (1983)
Cheapo tit flick
A completely pointless excuse to put some of the ugliest women in the history of 'cinema' on screen without their tops on. I don't know where the comedy bit came into this film, as the funniest bit of it was watching the woman cop a double decker on the bowling alley.
GOD AWFUL
On the Beach (2000)
Good stuff
Whilst I really did like this mini-series I thought the second half dragged on a bit. I would like to have seen more on the plight of the people rather than having 100% dedication to the major characters.
That said I thought the main characters were excellent, and it was good to see so many Aussie actors get a gig in such a major production.
It's pretty funky to think that if the world were going to end that your city would be the last one remaining but it's also chilling because it makes you think about what you would do if you were one of the last left.
I highly recommend this, but if you watch it on video there may be a few minutes of the second half that can be fast-forwarded.
