This film has been on my shelf for years. I finally opened the wrapper and stuck it into the VCR. I'm not crazy about Michelle Pfeiffer, but Jeff Bridges I've always thought was a good actor. He was great in the Fisher King and Fearless, but White Squall remains my favorite. I've seen this film over a dozen times. It's become a yearly thing. Beau Bridges is also in the film. The first time I ever saw Beau was in a film called Village of the Giants. It starred Tommy Kirk and a very young Ron Howard. It was a film about the goo, and whomever took it grew into a giant. This group of teens takes it and they take over the town. Interesting effects, it became one of those Sunday morning movies.
Okay, back to the Baker Boys. Jeff and Beau brought an intensity to the film. Michelle Pfeiffer gives a good performance as the escort/singer who resurrects the brothers careers. It's funny how we do things to please other people. We put our lives on hold and just tend to making others happy. So many people miss out on life. You have to do what will make you happy. I'm a hands on person. I like learning from experience, but that's just me. It's not for everyone. Some people need to be pushed and some just need to take their times to discover who they are. Some people don't seem to ever have that chance to know who they really are. Tonights feature will be They Shoot Horses don't they. Check it out if you have never seen this film. Keep an open mind, thanks for stopping by.
