Colin Hanks (Tom's son) directed this documentary about the life and career of the late John Candy, the Canadian comic actor who took Hollywood by storm in the 80s. Clips from his film catalog and commentary from co-stars like Dan Aykroyd, Tom Hanks, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, Macaulay Culkin, and many more paint a portrait of a well loved guy who unfortunately struggled with anxiety off screen. A touching trip down memory lane.

Now that is just crazy talk. Next thing you'll be saying one can have too many Landsknechts.
Have you considered substituting a King Tiger with a M-47 with a Robert Shaw figure in the hatch?

Last post by chainsaw midget - March 02, 2026, 09:48:44 PMMan, that sucks. I LOVE ... pretty much everything he's done. Even when the movie itself wasn't that great, he had charm by the bucket loads to make up for it.
I ever read his book, If Chins Could Kill.
It seems what he has is treatable though, so hopefully he'll be able to bounce back from this.

Last post by M.10rda - March 02, 2026, 08:47:49 PMLA OTRA aka THE OTHER aka THE OTHER ONE (1946):
Yeah, I'm a real healthy, functional guy w/ great judgment, so when I watch a movie that I really dislike (such as THE BOY AND THE FOG) and then realize I've already DL'd another film by the same director, naturally I don't cut my losses and delete the darn thing - instead I immediately double down and watch it. Well, THE OTHER has a better reputation than Roberto Gavaldon's TBATF, and - it is better, though I would classify it as Okay/Fine rather than Outstanding or something. The hand-drawn opening titles appear w/ eerie music and give one the impression they're in for some spooky, cosmic $#!t... though really THE OTHER is just an earthbound suspense-y melodrama w/ light undertones of fate or destiny or whatevs, not unlike a lot of Anglo noirs.
Something else about the opening credits that gave me pause - the name "Delores Del Rio", highly irritating star of THE BOY AND THE FOG. Delores is 7 years younger here, looks pretty good in some snazzy designer outfits, and is much less annoying to endure for the length of a feature. Both her performance and Gavaldon's direction is (like in the later film) sometimes way off the meter into hysterical territory - which, in the case of this material, would probably be okay or even good, as THE OTHER keeps teasing that it will turn into a full-blown psycho-thriller. But, it doesn't, which is ultimately disappointing.
I was with this one for a good bit. Del Rio plays identical sisters - one a recently widowed wealthy dame, the other working class and anti-social though w/ a secret chip on her shoulder. "They" play several early scenes opposite "one another" - usually in cut-aways but in a couple of impressive instances, "both" onscreen in the same shot. I was getting pretty decent DEAD RINGERS vibes for half an hour, and then there's a twist that sends THE OTHER more into the terrain of SUTURE, the exceptional 1993 neo-noir by Scott McGehee and David Siegel. An even better twist about two-thirds of the way through THE OTHER amplifies the SUTURE tingles....... but then THE OTHER just kinda' lets out a blank fart in its final 20-25 minutes.
3/5 Nice German expressionist photography in spots (which seems quite popular w/ Mexican filmmakers of the 30s-50s) and I didn't find it actively objectionable as I did the other Gavaldon flick. But if this is his best movie (as many suggest) and thus the foundation for him being Mexico's finest director....... nah, son.
