Unrelated other than my take on them.


I have not seen the original of this film and therefore cannot compare. Jude Law plays a Casanova type character who loves them and leaves them. He finds an older woman who he falls for and he finds out she's loving and leaving him for a younger guy. Sad in a pathetic game playing way. Susan Sarandon plays the heart breaking lady.

William Hurt plays a professor who experiments with hallucinogenic drugs and sensory deprivation tanks to try and achieve a higher consciousness. If that weren't weird enough, strange things start happening to his body. I don't pretend to get this film. I remember it was a big deal when it first came out in 1980.

You'd think Jack Nicholson playing off Adam Sandler would make a film. Alas, I didn't appreciate the pairing. Sandler has anger issues and Jack tries to help him. It just got old fast. Both these actors have too much personality to give up screen time and the only thing I figure is the director wasn't' strong enough to keep them in check.
