Philip Kaufman(1936 - )Scraping the barrel i know, but he's made one film that's at least worth seeing and i just noticed his birthday is the same day as mine....aahhhh.....and what a lovely picture too.....aaahhhhh..... 1. The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988) 6/102. Henry & June (1990) 4/103. Rising Sun (1993) 3/10

Rising Sun (1993) 3/10 And yet you never bothered with his two other great works in his INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS remake, and of course arguably the best movie of the 1980s, THE RIGHT STUFF? Oh and yeah RISING SUN did suck.

No i haven'y....i only saw these films because the first is one of my girlfriends faves and she wanted to check out the second and the third i saw when i was about 13 late one night on TV.....far too many good directors to check out to be spending more time on this one!

I gave 4 stars on LIGHT and 3 1/2 for JUNE, and either rating maybe for his INVASION remake (haven't seen it in a decade).
THE RIGHT STUFF though is a fucking masterpiece, all 5 stars.
TWISTED was lame shit, two stars.
RISING SUN, oh yeah that flick where that awkward finale fight was scripted because Wesley Snipes demanded an action fight scene, despite making no sense at all.
**1/2 on that one, if simply for Connery coasting.

Kaufman is terrific, but RISING SUN and TWISTED are pieces of shit.
Fun story about RISING SUN: apparently Snipes demanded that random-as-hell climax where that police procedural becomes an action martial arts picture.
Didn't help it.

1. The Right Stuff (1983) - [blue]7/10[/blue]
Haven't seen The Right Stuff in years so I'll probably need to check that one out again.
