"Shining Through" is a strangely fascinating movie: the cinematography (by Jan De Bont), costumes and production design are impeccable and it has a great supporting cast (LIam Neeson and Sir John Gielgud) but Melanie Griffith was badly miscast. Just as she was in "The Bonfire of the Vanities" and Sidney Lumet's "A Stranger Among Us." The movie was originally meant for Christmas (and Oscar consideration, lol) in 1991, but when Fox saw the finished product they bumped it to the spring of 1992. Griffith could be very good in comedies, but after her "Working Girl" Oscar nomination she chose "prestige" projects which failed miserably. By the time she changed course and went back to light comedy, her star had dimmed so badly that she was getting terrible scripts like "Milk Money," the subject of one of Ebert's funniest reviews.

That Melanie Griffith monologue is something else. Quite often when movies are panned I think that the critics are being too hyperbolic in their rush to skewer them, when much of the time such films are just bland, but that monologue... it’s like a parody of bad acting. It’s so flat and uninflected, she sounds like a child reciting lines in a nativity play. Like she doesn’t altogether understand the words but has learned them by rote. To be fair, it’s probably also bad writing (“I want you to taste my strudel” is not a line that should be written to carry any dramatic weight) but yeesh, she could have made something out of it. You know the acting’s bad when you’re not sure whether it’s supposed to be seductive or sad.

Roger said it in his "Leonard Part 6" review, but it bears repeating here: When you're an actor on a TV show, you only have three months out of the year to make a movie. So you've got nine months to have your agent read scripts and advise you on which movie he thinks you ought to do in that window. Now, Corbin Bernsen and Shelley Long were both in some entertaining flicks (for Corbin, "Shattered" and "Disorganized Crime"; for Shelley, "Outrageous Fortune" and "The Brady Bunch Movie"). What were Corbin's and Shelley's agents smoking when they advised them to do "Frozen Assets"? There is exactly one (1) joke in that movie, and it gets old after the first time they tell it. The movie's so ponderous you can't believe it, and it's about as funny as a dead dog on the side of the road.

To be fair to actors who came up in the old networks-only/Nielsen-driven/September of one year to May of the next structure, they also had to pick projects based on what was available in an inelastic timeframe, and TV actors were very rarely big enough draws on their own to even have the chance to choose prestigious projects during their hiatus times (Bill Cosby was an outlier here because he was seen as a major draw for filmgoers, at least in the 1980s). Part of the draw of the current streaming-cable-network/etc. galaxy and shorter seasons approach is that people on TV shows can do them and make movies during most of the year, so they have more choices.

@@xdmaster7888 Well, prestigious is one thing. Bad-beyond-belief is something else, you get what I'm saying? I can't believe _anyone_ looked at the script for _Sour Grapes_ and said "This is good! This is funny and original and it'll help my career!" It may not be the case with all of them, but there's no bigger dream for a TV actor than to branch out into movies and become a movie star, a dream that _looks_ so easy to attain (a lot of actors have done it; many more have failed). So I'm not saying those guys should look for the next _Citizen Kane_ to star in, but they could at least have the wherewithal to know a good (or at least OK) script from a terrible one. George Peppard said, "Don't anybody criticize me because I was in a lot of crap. Sometimes you're lucky to just get crap!" And that may have been true, for him. Both Corbin and Shelly are very gifted comic actors. They were both hot and bankable (I'm not saying George wasn't). It's tough for me to believe they were so desperate they couldn't do better that that piece of junk.

I like what Ebert said about having bad movies as a measuring stick. I mean every time someone says a certain movie is like the worst thing ever - even if it's a movie I don't like - I just think: Maybe it's the worst thing ever if you've only seen 3 movies! Like have you seen An Alan Smithee Film? Or Santa Claus Conquers the Martians?

She was WAAAAAAY past regretting leaving Cheers by this time. She had had a couple of hits ("Outrageous Fortune" and "The Money Pit") but those didn't rely on her charm. Then came the two that really made her re-think things: Hello Again and Troop Beverly Hills. I think Frozen Assets was a need to do anything because she wasn't being offered much.

Now she really made re-think many things: joining Icon Productions under the guidance of Mel Gibson, Stephen McEveety, Bruce Davey & Mark Gooder from 1990 thru present for help overseeing every frame of TV and feature, such as "Hacksaw Ridge."

While Paul Verhoeven's Basic Instinct was Lionsgate/StudioCanal's highest grossing thriller with Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone in the summer of 1992 - June 12, fans were very excited about this, despite its controversy and legacy. The film was nominated for 2 Oscars for both Jerry Goldsmith's "all-stops-out" original score and Frank J. Urioste's excellent editing in 1993... but Whispers in the Dark didn't have any big names in this box office flop which it didn't do well, a year later, according to the executives at Paramount/Viacom.

Nominated for an best film award at the Cannes Film Festival and an international fantasy film award at Fantasporto, both in 1993. Both were produced by Sandollar, founded in September of 1977 by Dolly Parton and her creative team: Sandy Gallin, Gail Berman, Bill Masters, Carol Baum, Renee Missel and Howard Rosenman. Sandollar has also brought its board of directors and they are Sandy Duncan, Don Correia, Janice Lieberman, Steve Gerber, Madeleine Stowe, Brian Benben and others. Its first projects were Audrey Rose, released in November of 1977 by MGM and A Smoky Mountain Christmas aired on ABC in December 1986 with very impressive ratings, under the superb direction of Emmy winner Henry Winkler for 20th Television. Based on the Disney lot in Burbank, California. Besides Disney, Sandollar also produced several projects for various studios such as Paramount, Sony, Universal and Warners and indies such as Fremantle and Lionsgate. It continues to grow with some great talent.
