    Down and Out in Beverly Hills

    ★★★

    Teorema except "the stranger" character doesn't end up seducing the dad and the son as well.

    The satirical element specifically shining a light on rich people living in Beverly Hills mansions in the 80s worked for me. I thought the cast were able to do a decent job. Nolte/Midler/Dreyfuss keep the movie together. I thought there were decent comedic moments such as Little Richard performing at the party while chaos happens around him during the climax. That was great.

    I feel like this probably deserves a 2.5, but my attraction to Richard Dreyfuss in this film may have influenced my rating, if I'm being honest.

    The Front Room

    ★½

    The acting (from everybody) in this is horrendous. There's almost nothing to salvage apart from Kathryn Hunter playing the racist stepmom who keeps purposely pissing and shitting all over the house to drive Brandy Norwood's character nuts. I can see myself rewatching this only for her scenes. Completely over the top, camp, disgusting stuff.

    Also, I spent most of the film trying to reconcile with the fact the couple planned for their newborns nursery to be on a seperate floor…

    One star for Sally Fields, another for Kiefer. Both gave good performances. I liked the mixed race lesbian couple but holy crap this ended up being a very run of the mill 'woman takes the law into her own hands to get justice for her murdered daughter'.

    I could literally just watch these kids trash talk each other for 2 hours (Delightful!) There didn't even need to be a clown.

    IT (2017) is everything a remake should be. It never felt unwarranted or cheap. It has an incredibly talented and charismatic cast and is genuinely scary.
