...yesterday. Feels like a big movie star died, but thinking about it I never really saw him in much. Goodfellas, one of my favourite films, Field of Dreams, didn't like it, Sin City: a dame to kill for, fun. I may have seen him in other stuff but just don't remember. Looking at his appearances on IMDB I must have seen him in more things.
He was in loads of things I've seen, I just don't remember him. Not his fault. I think that unless a co-star gets a really juicy character part they often aren't remembered.
I'd never heard of Texas Rising. Has a lot of good actors. Roland Joffé has directed some great stuff and also some that smell like what the cat ate yesterday. It won a lot of awards for sound.
I thought The Mission was quite good ... T.R., I dunno, he dialed it in? It was like an amateur theatre troop with literally zero movie making experience and a political agenda got a hold of a whack of money, bought some gear, and hired some name actors to reenact the Texas School Board version for grade fours. History Channel stuff, I suppose: Ancient Aliens, Ice Road Truckers, Storage Wars ... need I go on?
