Flick of the Day

Film: MERMAIDS

Director: Richard Benjamin

Actors: Cher, Winona Ryder, Bob Hoskins, Christina Ricci, Michael Schoeffling

Year: 1990

Synopsis: A young girl comes of age in a new town.

Cher leads a fantastic cast in this wonderful flick. Ryder stars as Charlotte, a strange teen who wants desperately to become a nun. Things change when she meets Joe (Schoeffling). Cher is perfect as Charlotte's somewhat trampy mother. It's a great film.

MisMatched

Actor: CHRISTINA RICCI

Film: "Sleepy Hollow"

Character: Katrina Van Tassel

Year: 1999

Christina Ricci is an acquired taste. She really isn't a very good actor, but I've grown up with her. I can remember her cute face in "Mermaids" and her odd coming-of-age in films like "Casper", and "Now and Then". That is why it hurts me to say this. Ricci is completely wrong for this film. She's totally unsure of herself. She made me feel uncomfortable (and I'm pretty sure that is not how Burton intended to get that reaction from the audience). What's more... Ricci as the love interest for much older Depp is awkward to say the least. Bottom line: I don't buy it.

Flick of the Day

Film: PUMPKIN

Director: Anthony Abrams, Adam Broder

Actors: Christina Ricci, Hank Harris, Brenda Blethyn, Dominique Swain, Marisa Coughlan, Sam Bell, Amy Adams

Year: 2002

Synopsis: A sorority girl meets a disabled boy during a charity event and falls in love.

If you're in the mood for a strange, kooky comedy, "Pumpkin" is a good bet. Christina Ricci (who has a knack for doing weird movies) stars as Carolyn, a rich, spoiled, sorority girl, who doesn't have a care in the world. When she meets slightly disabled Pumpkin, she finds a kindred soul in him (despite the fact that they have seemingly nothing in common). It's an interesting choice for a film topic (certainly not what you think of in a sorority film) and it will definitely keep your attention. Check it out!
