A Filmdude looks at Heather Graham in COMMITTED

Published at:  Sep 22, 1999 2:40:31 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here. Hmmmm... Heather Graham... musssst seeeee mooooovvvviieee.... Ok ok ok... the film sounds like it sucks ass, but... Heather Grahammmmmmm.... yummmmm..... Moriarty's future wife..... quasi-Adultery.... Evilll.... Well, gosh. This is an early screening for the film so who knows what changes might be made to the film between now and the end of time. So whilst it could very well be bad... Ummm... it has Heather Graham so that isn't really possible... (ACK, Oh yeah... LOST IN SPACE) Ugh...




I recently attended a test screening of the upcoming
Miramax comedy Committed starring Heather Graham, Luke
Wilson, and Casey Affleck. She plays Joline, a woman
whose husband leaves her and relocates out west, where
she soon goes to confront him, but ends up helping him
in his job and protecting him from a dangerous fellow
for some unknown reason. When she gets there she
meets all sorts of thinly written charcters who soon
turn into occassional sight gags. This movie is just
plain awful. The laughs are few and far between, the
plot becomes predictable about 30 minutes into it, and
as a result the movie becomes slow and boring. I
heard someone else say that Heather Graham's
performance was better than the material, but that's
not saying much because I'd be afraid to see someone
whose acting was worse than the script. And I will
soon be inducing amensia upon myself to erase from my
mind a miscast Casey Affleck as Graham's brother,
whose voice seems to rival fingernails on a
chalkboard. Supposedly we were one of the first
screenings but it seemed pretty much finished with a
fitting score and all, which leads me to believe that
this film has been shelved for a while. Unless they
make some drastic changes in the next three
months(like reshooting and rescripting practically the
whole thing) this one should be avoided at all costs.

    Yes... Graham is very nice

    by dr_frankenevil

    Seriously... I'd watch Heather Graham no matter what, even if she was to do a remake of bombs like "Brenda Starr" or "Under the Rainbow." She is the very defenition of a modern major hotty.

    Heather Graham needs a good spanking!

    by uncapie

    And I'm the one to give it to her! I would like to see her in a remake of "Barbarella" as long as I get to play "Durand Durand"! But, PLEASE NO MORE AFFLECKS! Its worse than the BALDWIN disease and the ESTEVEZ/SHEEN OUTBREAK!

    Re. LOST IN SPACE

    by sarcastrate

    What? Lost in Space not that bad? It sucked major sci-fi ass. The first time I saw that movie I was inebriated and even then it was awful. Oh wow even though it had such neato special affects it still had that heart warming message about how important family is, I know I was touched. I felt like a lesser person for seeing that movie as should you for defending it.

    Modern Day 'Hotties'

    by harbinger

    Heather Graham is adiquate. Nothing more. Admitedly she is far better than the Drew Barrymore scrag, but that ain't sayin' much. Cameron Diaz: gross. Catherine Z.J.: sickening. You people have the worst female taste ever. Let's hear it for Denise Richards, Brooke Satchwell and Claire Forlani.

    There too tall, or....

    by drippybits

    I'm too short. Women over 5'4 don't interest me much, anyway Andrea Corr at 5' even is perfection in my book. ( for people who don't know she is the singer in the Irish band The Corrs, just so you don't think I'm talking about someone who works at Kmart )

    harbinger, you are a fool

    by tommy five-tone

    okay, maybe not THAT foolish - after all, you did name-check the goddess forlani, but then you fucked it all up by mentioning monkey girl brooke satchwell (from inane aussie soap 'neighbours') in the same sentence! doh! anyway, about heather graham - yes, she's very hot (that one moment in 'boogie nights' - you know which one i'm talking about - more than made up for all those times i watched 'licence to drive' and wishing i was corey haim) but there's something about her that i can't quite get into. maybe it's the way she's getting all cosy with that no-talent knobgobbler edward burns...yes, that's it. damn you, strumpet - can't you see james woods was the man for you! and whoever said 'lost in space' was OK should remove their head from their rectum right now - it bit the big one. five-tone off to watch that scene in 'boogie nights' again and wish he was mark wahlberg.

    skittish?

    by madboy

    King Grinch, I think you're mistaking that for ditzy air-headedness. Don't make her any less hot, though. But yes, Connelly is a serious hottie. Not too many good movies though. But Claudia Christian? Yuck.

    as a matter of fact, Your Grinchliness. . .

    by madboy

    . . . I have seent the Playboy spread. And I can say this: She's got a hell of a body. But a nice body does not a hottie make. I got problems with her face - she just. . . weird looking. And not unusual-yet-still-hot-Christina-Ricci weird, but more i-just-got-hit-with-a-mallet-in-the-face-weird. But hey, to each their own. But we can all agree on Denise Richards, I'm sure. And we can be friends as long as no one mentions that awful-no-talent-dunce-bitch Charlize Theron. And no more fucking hyphens for me, I'm all out.

    by gilmour

    I don't find Denise Richards all that great. She looks like a model, but I don't find them hot anyways. Dana Delaney, now shes HOT.

    by tommy five-tone

    angelina jolie is scorching, but she's also a pretentious psycho. read 'rolling stone' cover story for further info. five-tone off to watch those three seconds of glory in 'the hot spot' (jennifer connelly fans know what i'm talking about.)

    by bobbarker

    Whoever called Ed Burns a no-talent deserves to have his eyes ripped out.

    And Angelina Jolie is so hot it's ridiculous. But then...I dig chicks with tatoos who play with knives and such.

    Hottie's Continued

    by harbinger

    I had no idea who this "Claudia Christian" person was, so I did a little research. Talk about backed over by a cattle truck. U-G-L-Y!!! Jennifer Connlley is great. Nothing short of fabulous. In Dark City where she is swaying during her songs.... still makes me a little shakey. I stand by my Brooke selection also. She is great. Dense as the next lump of lead, but hey, what a great pair.

    by madboy

    Whoever said not to be so picky. . . why the hell not? This is basically the sexual equivalent of fantasy football. Just goofing. And THANK YOU Harbinger, for backing me up of the Caludia Christian thing. Anyone see the cover of this month's Premiere? Angelina Jolie looks like she's been starving herself. . . looks like crap. Winona Ryder looks good though, but I can't look at her the same after seeing the South Park movie. Oh, man. It's good that as a result of this article, we're talking so much about it. Or about hot girls. Does anyone remember what the article's about? BTW, I just found out who Brooke Satchwell is and. . . well . . . anyone see the fucking teeth on her? They're HUGE!! I mean, they're straight and all, but. . . kinda freaky.

    Heather Grahammmmm....

    by rtalbot

    I must admit people, I wouldn't kick Heather Graham out of bed for eating crackers, however she doesn't hold a candle to Natalie Portman, now there is a woman/girl that floats my boat. Admittedly a bit young, but give her a couple of years when she's a bit more legal, and, well you know.....

    by madboy

    Christina Ricci is the new hottie. She makes me feel funny. Down where I pee. Like climbing the rope in gym class. Oh, sure, she's a bit young, but she's gotta be legal by now, right?
