Demi was an original member of the brat pack in <I>St. Elmo's Fire</I> and she invested in Planet Hollywood restaurants. I've never given much thought of her as an actress. She has the Madonna-like ability to get attention.The Film Doctor https://www.blogger.com/profile/03073505923746994988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704583061723470804.post-60515139174812351422009-03-25T13:21:00.000-04:002009-03-25T13:21:00.000-04:001997 was the first year I began - along with Jason...1997 was the first year I began - along with Jason of the Cooler - selecting my own nominees for Oscar-type categories and choosing winners. Demi Moore won Best Actress! It was a cliched film but she was great - and what muscles!Richard Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12397053921647421425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704583061723470804.post-26804136495381874272009-03-25T08:41:00.000-04:002009-03-25T08:41:00.000-04:00I remember Siskel and Ebert talking about this mov...I remember Siskel and Ebert talking about this movie and noting that while <I>Striptease</I> is a pathetic and shallow use of Moore's physique, this is a bold and noble one. I agree.<BR/><BR/>I don't remember the movie all that well, but the head-shaving scene and the one-armed push-ups are burned into memory. That stands for something.<BR/><BR/>Good post. The other fun thing about this review: It doesn't mention by name one of Demi's costars: Viggo Mortensen, back before he was a name.Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.com
