Review: The Hoax

'The Hoax' is solid proof of Richard Gere's acting prowess. Ably supported by Alfred Molina, Gere does a wonderful job as writer Clifford Irving. This movie is a tale of conceit intertwined with humor and emotion. Clifford manages to convince a major publishing house that he is writing an autobiography for the recluse Howard Hughes. He gets a contract and also is paid a handsome advance.
What follows is a rollercoaster ride as doubts arise about Irving's claims. How Clifford Irving finally manages to get his book published forms the gist of the story.

Look out for the following performances:
i. Alfred Molina as Dick Suskind, Irving's best friend.
ii. Marcia Harden as Edith, Irving's wife.
iii. Hope Davis as Andrea Tate, Irving's contact in the publishing house.
iv. Stanley Tucci as the publishing honcho.

This movie is already out on DVD and immensely enjoyable. A must-see!

Review: 'Remington Steele'

Pierce Brosnan. The man with the golden smile. The best James Bond ever! Well, before he became Bond he used to star in one of the most popular TV series of the 80s'- Remington Steele(1982-87). Brosnan played a thief who switches into the role of a private investigator named Remington Steele. Stephanie Zimbalist(I have not seen her other work) plays Laura Holt and also Steele's partner.

This series was also partly responsible for not allowing Pierce Brosnan to don the mantle of James Bond earlier in his career. Due to his commitment to the series, Timothy Dalton bagged the role.

Action, romance, comedy and murders- Reminton Steele has it all. A must-see for Pierce Brosnan fans and the best way to get to know an otherwise quiet Stephanie Zimbalist

I found this video in YouTube that has scenes from this famous series tuned to the amazing voice of Eric Carmen's 'Hungry Eyes'. A must-see

Movie Review: 'Eraserhead'

Released in 1977, 'Eraserhead' is probably the most difficult movie of all time. Bordering between horror and fantasy, this movie is a cult classic among movie fanatics. This movie is open to interpretations of all sorts. The protagonist in this movie is a man who lives in an abandoned building. His pregnant girlfriend moves in with him and gives birth to a hideous creep-like creature. She abandons him and the baby and our hero is driven mad by the baby's cries and the apparations that he encounters. Watch it for its complexity. I will not divulge more. If you are not able to catch this movie in your local video store, then please do grab it at Amazon. This movie will not disappoint. Directed by David Lynch.
