The Wind & The Lion (1975) Candice Bergan, Sean Connery, Brian Keith, John Houston. A wonderful adventure story for the whole family, older children only. My vote as the best and sexiest film Connery made in this period of his career. Based on a true incident of the kidnapping of an American woman and her children by the last of the Barbery Pirates, and Teddy Roosevelt's(Keith) response. Bergan is arrogant and all stiffish upper class petulance at first. But The Rizoli, the Magnificent, wins her admiration and affection. The children are won over by the whole experience. Marvelous! 9/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073906/


Femme Fatale (2002) Rebecca Romijn, Antonia Banderas, Peter Coyote. A Brian dePalma film. So you know it is going to be hard to understand the photography - let alone the story. Only if you understand that what you see may or may not be real, will you get it even a little bit. The lead actress is gorgeous and ole Brian loves to have her take it off - take it allllll off - while having her undulate for the camera. Now as a woman, I would appreciate a little strip show by Banderas but no such luck. And Peters lovely speaking voice is totally wasted as he has so few lines. I did stay awake, so 6/10. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0280665/
