He is actually six-five, with the afro, six-nine.

Every scene is a complete classic.

One of my favorite comedies of all time and my favorite Chevy Chase film shows him as a newspaper reporter who is hired by a man to kill him. Through Fletch's enterprising investigation, he discovers all sorts of things about his employer, none of which are good.

Chase's many disguises, iterations and quips makes this film a true classic and a movie I could watch over and over again.

So glad they never made, "Fletch Won."

Ultimate Classic

This musical is a masterclass in brilliance.
Performances that stand the test of time, Tim Curry (my claim to fame is that my mother in law once had relations with him )delivers a performance that is impossible to forget.
Meatloaf is out of this world with his song and in my opinion no one on stage has ever come close to matching how he effortlessly owns Whatever Happened to Saturday Night.

If you haven’t seen this film yet then do not waste another second.

saheffernan (157 KP) rated The Afterlife of Holly Chase in Books

Jan 1, 2020

I don't read Holiday novels especially Christmas I can be somewhat of a Grinch myself during this time. I have to say that Holly chase was the perfect introduction into a Holiday book character that I needed. I loved her snarky comments and commentary during the novel. The play on the classic Christmas Carol made it relatable enough because I knew that story and making the connection between the two during the story was fun to see in what ways it would come together. I think this is a classic book that could hold up to multiple re-reads even.

Action

Classic disaster movie

A 70s classic disaster movie. A strong cast acts out the action based on a best selling novel.. It follows the action both in the plane and out and also adds the right amount of back story and information about the major players that actually makes you care what happens to them, and also helps balances out the suspense and action so you are not overwhelmed, which many modern action films haven't quite got quite right...

I First saw this many years ago and re watching it, unlike some things, I wasn't disappointed.

Andrew Kennedy (199 KP) rated The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) in Movies

I love the Muppets.
This film is the best of many retellings of Dickens classic ghost tale.
Gonzo is my favourite as Charles Dickens, his narration along with Rizzlo the rat is humorous and fun.
Kermit as Bob Crachit as the lead book keeper is amusing and his team of rats are hilarious.
Michael Caine plays Scrooge who's path of redemption is believable as he is visted by three ghosts who show Scrooge the errors of his ways.
Also, the songs are catchy.
Disney tried other versions but none can top this one. A true Christmas classic to watch every year.
