That was actually listed as my favorite performance of his, but when I went back and rewatched Sweet Hereafter, I just had to go with that one.

Costner was fine, but I totally agree that Greenwood steals the show as JFK. It's a remarkable performance and avoids feeling like an imitation or caricature. He's also great in Meek's Cutoff, though he's barely recognizable. It's cool to see him spotlighted.Danhttp://ptsnob.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-37919644924871639052012-06-24T22:21:17.056-04:002012-06-24T22:21:17.056-04:00Ahh it was a one-way mirror that's right.

Second, I saw it for the reasons that I was a. old enough to appreciate its, ahem, charms and b. didn't have a lot of money then right out of college, so my cheap entertainment was watching movies - lots of them.<br /><br />I definitely remember the one-way mirror for the changing rooms, but strangely not much else has stuck with me about the movie.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-65537915317531649652012-06-23T22:10:13.760-04:002012-06-23T22:10:13.760-04:00Chip, this is why you fuckin' rock - who the h...Chip, this is why you fuckin' rock - who the hell else has seen The Malibu Bikini Shop?! <br /><br />When I was... 9 (maybe), I was visiting my grandmother and she showed me this shoebox of VHS tapes that she had just bought for like $2 at an auction. I looked over the titles, and, being an impressionable 9-year-old, the title Malibu Bikini Shop jumped out at me. There's a scene when the first hottie goes to change after Greenwood has set up the cameras to spy on the changing rooms... he runs around the corner giggling hysterically, waiting for the goods. I remember laughing my ass off to that. <br /><br />Jesus man, I don't think I've thought about that for 10 years.

It was actually the first thing I ever saw him in, then over the years he'd always be "that guy" who I'd recognize, but not really remember where from. Finding IMDB in 1997 refreshed my memory of him.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-1612868064480654432012-06-22T08:30:24.653-04:002012-06-22T08:30:24.653-04:00Thanks!

He used to make good movies) where I think <i>Exotica</i> remains their best collaboration to date.<br /><br />He was great in <i>Meek's Cutoff</i> where he seemed to relish playing the role of an eccentric.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
