Review of Catchfire

Catchfire (1990)
5/10
What an (in)glorious mess
3 August 2008
Warning: Spoilers
So many weird and disastrous things about this movie-

• That Foster's character plays an artist who's work is so clearly modeled on Jenny Holzer's only to read in the credits that the art was actually created for the film... by Jenny Holzer.

• How many actresses get to do more than one film with lambs as major plot elements?

• That score: 12 Roland D-50's puffing away like a house on fire, and a single saxophone from hell. (Takes you back to the 80's, but not in a good way.)

• Worst editing and looping I've ever seen, -IN THE DIRECTOR'S CUT-!!!

• A helicopter on a hill! Deux-ex-machina a-go-go.

• Biggest allstar cast since "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World", to similar effect.

• Who would have guessed that Dennis Hopper had such a grating and unbelievable Jersey accent??
