Donald Sutherland does a good job in the first half of "Eye of the Needle". His mad dog killer of a spy was for the first four or five people he kills with that giant switch blade. But after a while, all that stuff with that shiny knife gets kind of silly. During the second of the movie when he tries to humanize his character he falls flat. He ends up just walking around with a puss on his face. As far as his leading lady (Kate Nelligan) goes, she left me flat as well. Nelligan looks good at times but, mostly, she does nothing for me. "Eye of the Needle" is a chick flick disguised as a spy thriller.

Writer/producer/director/composer John Carpenter somehow makes lemonade out lemons with "They Live". Carpenter had to overcome some big obstacles to pull this movie off. First of the alien make-up looks stupid. Also, Meg Foster is, as always, a big negative. That lady and her freaky eyes has never done anything for me. That said, "They Live" is a fun, kind of goofy, movie.

"Daddy Day Care" has a good cast but a good cast can't overcome a bad script. The script for this movie is just too stupid to be funny. Most of the cast does an okay job but poor Angelica Huston does her best but she's stuck playing a ridiculous villain. Only very young children could possibly enjoy this dud of a movie.
