My movie viewing this weeks so far has been Moonstruck and The Big Easy.
I'd just like to say that movies in the '80s sucked.
Having somehow seen several early Nicolas Cage movies recently it truly is bizarre to me that Cage's "early career" isn't now known as his "career." I understand that the movie is meant to be operatic, particularly Cage's character, but it was just painful to watch. That said, it has two great scenes. One in the restaurant between Olympia Dukakis and John Mahoney and the other between Dukakis and Danny Aiello (who was really pleasant in this movie).
I'm pretty sure that in another couple weeks I won't remember that I even watched The Big Easy it was so forgettable. All I'll remember is what I already remembered about the movie. The best man at my first wedding tells that he learned about finger****ing from this movie and when he tried it for the first time (before actually having sex) it was quite a shock to him to learn what it felt like.
