Inclusion here does not mean recommendation, merely that you may find
the film of interest. Films scoring less than *** (Good) on the
Richometer – and you can pronounce that any way you wish – are merely
listed with no rating. ***½ means Excellent, **** Outstanding.

Saturday 1802

Davidson, Forest Whitaker.

Jamie Foxx, Jada Pinkett Smith, Mark Ruffalo, Peter Berg, Debi Mazar;
Contrived but tight and engaging scenario in which TC
(uncharacteristically without a smile) rides around L.A. wiping out
witnesses to a shady drugs deal, using cabbie JF as his chauffeur.
C.R.A.Z.Y. (Canadian 2005) C15, 0105-0330; Marc-André Grondin, Michel
Côté, Danielle Proulx, Pierre-Luc Brillant, Natacha Thompson; Born on
25/12/60, the 4th son of a Montréal family is believed by his mother
to be a gifted healer, but his father(MC) is concerned about his
sexuality. That's the plot, but here you have the whole contorted life
of a smoking, drug-taking, sexually uncomfortable, violent, male-
dominated family with four sons...

KING KONG (US 1976) C3, 0205-0420 (C33, 0305-0520 Saturday); Jessica
Lane, Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin, Rene Auberjonois; This 1st remake
of the 1933 classic is the best bad movie you'll see in a lifetime!
Take your pick of the ropey dialogue: there's a breathlessly sexy JL
to JB after he's rescued her:"Oh what could I ever do to thank you?",
JL to Rick Baker in a monkey suit: "Let me down, you goddamn
chauvinist pig ape!", etc.
