My uncle showed it to me years ago, and I think he was disappointed that I didn't enjoy it as much as he thought I would. But watching THE POWER again, I appreciated the look of the film, particularly the visualizations of someone using the power. Also, the plot seems to go everywhere, which is just plain fun, and I love the ending. My only real complaint is that I think the film would've worked better if were closer to 90 minutes in length.sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-62354850002844392422009-10-30T18:51:41.862-04:002009-10-30T18:51:41.862-04:00Rick, I remember this film.

I will check it out on Netflix. Nice review, but all of your reviews are excellent.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037507780056714337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-13938150391985720002009-10-30T08:53:56.949-04:002009-10-30T08:53:56.949-04:00Becky, I suppose I'll never convince you and P...Becky, I suppose I'll never convince you and Pauline Kael! I am acutely aware of THE POWER's flaws, but--for me--its strengths outweigh its weaknesses and its premise is ingenious. By the way, in my write-up, I neglected to mention Miklos Rosza's marvelous score, much of it played on a cimbalon. Sark, let me know what you think of THE POWER--good or bad--this time around.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-84747340941690555492009-10-29T07:48:50.660-04:002009-10-29T07:48:50.660-04:00I don't think I've ever disagreed with you...I don't think I've ever disagreed with you on a movie, Rick, but this is the one. I thought this movie was bad, the performances by some wonderful actors stilted and one-dimensional, and I was bored to the point of falling asleep on it twice at different parts of the movie. However, I am curious as to who the villain was and what his ingenious trick was, and I did try to get to the end to find out. Send me an email and tell me, would you? Now that you have reviewed it, I would like to know. That's not really a compliment to the movie, but to your review!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-89459243244875010222009-10-27T22:27:16.034-04:002009-10-27T22:27:16.034-04:00Yeah!

I saw it many years ago and am looking forward to seeing it again (I'm recording it as I write this). Great review, Rick.sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.com
