House
(1985)
|
Mike McGrady
|
Although the unintentional laughs outnumber intentional ones by 10-1, the distributors have the nerve to describe "House" as a comedy.

Latin music overall is surely one of the most vibrant genres around, but watching "Clika," the first feature-film produced by the upstart music label Rancho Humilde, you wouldn’t know it.

Congratulations go to writers Raynold Gideon and Bruce A. Evans, who have more than done justice to the original Stephen King novella, "The Body'; they have written a script that is both funny and touching.

This is a great achievement by Reiner, who has clearly advanced into the front rank of American directors, and by Sorkin, whose gift for writing dialogue and developing character tension play to the director's strength.

In troubled times, a little wonder can go a long way. Unfortunately, a little wonder is all Hook has to offer. Somewhere between La-La Land and Never-Never Land, Spielberg overshot the runway and ended up at a theme park near Robin Williams' house.
