We Hate Movies

“Why are you trying to do the Hitchcock stuff when your contemporary, Brian De Palma, is doing it much better? - Eric  On this week’s WHM, we’re kicking off the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza with a chat about the Robert Zemeckis ghost house domestic thriller, What Lies Beneath! Was this one of the last major Hollywood films to have middle-aged people being this horny? Would the movie have been better if they didn’t confirm the existence of a ghost in the world of the story? Isn’t it great seeing James Remar play an academic non-scumbag? How unsettling is it to see Harrison Ford wear a Rolling Stones t-shirt? And how many Hitchcock “riffs” can you cram into one movie before someone has a suit on their hands? PLUS: We take a count of how many Harrison Ford characters go… downtown!  What Lies Beneath stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Harrison Ford, James Remar, Miranda Otto, Diana Scarwid, Ray Baker, Wendy Crewson, Amber Valletta, Micole Mercurio, and the great Joe Morton as Dr. Drayton; directed by Robert Zemeckis.
