The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
Directed by Tom Gormican
influenced by My Favorite Year (1982)
Characters
As for other cinematic touchstones, Cage states or is told more than once that he's a movie star, not an actor, echoing Peter O'Toole's swashbuckling star in "My Favorite Year," which certainly qualifies as good company even if the film doesn't scale those heights.
Case in point, Doug Liman's fact-based film "Made in America," an entertaining affair that Cruise puts on his shoulders and carries across the finish line.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
Directed by Gore Verbinski
influenced by My Favorite Year (1982)
And yet, people still try to make them every once in a while because the idea of a pirate movie-with all of the "kissing and jumping and drinking and humping" (to steal a quote from "My Favorite Year")-is still an enormously appealing notion.
"Scent" resembles movies such as "The Last Detail" and "My Favorite Year," in which a swaggery, larger-than-life personality shows a greenhorn how to really live.
As a producer of other people's movies, Brooks has an amazing track record; his company made " The Elephant Man ," "My Favorite Year," " Frances " and "The Fly."
Written and directed by testosterone junkie Walter Hill - who's been on a career nosedive of recent with flops such as "Supernova," "Last Man Standing" and "Wild Bill" after starting off with such promise helming "The Warriors" and "48 Hours" - and stemming from a script he co-wrote with previous collaborator David Giler ("Alien 3," "The Money Pit"), the film offers no surprises.
