You could hardly be blamed for not noticing, but a new Peter Hyams movie snuck into theaters a few weeks ago. Well, in New York and Los Angeles anyway. Every few years something turns up at the usually desolate Chinese 6 that gets me to go there and this was one of them--a Peter Hyams movie, with Michael Douglas no less, that quietly opened on a few screens probably due to some contractual obligation....

Happy Birthday to Anne Archer 62 today It's hard to remember what Anne is famous for (hint: it involves lifting a saucepan lid to find a rabbit), especially when in my head she will always be the mother of one of the few people to make a BBC reporter lose his temper:
In the climax of Fatal Attraction , Dan(Michael Douglas) wrestles Alex(Glenn Close) into the bathtub after she attacks him with a knife. As she struggles, Dan seemingly drowns her in the water. As Dan tries to regains his composure, Alex leaps out of the bathtub swinging the knife, but gets shot in the chest by Beth(Anne Archer) at the last second.
Despite a premise that reads like a sci-fi film – Michael Douglas steps outside his marriage to Anne Archer with Glenn Close? In the peak of her “George Washington with a perm” phase, no less? – “Fatal Attraction” is actually a tremendously effective sexual thriller, one that remains not only a high point of the [...]

Writer James Dearden would go on to write and direct PASCALI’S ISLAND and the excellent ROGUE TRADER. Director Adrian Lyne is the director of FLASHDANCE, INDECENT PROPOSAL and UNFAITHFUL. IS IT ANY GOOD? FATAL ATTRACTION was...
