“On one occasion, Daniel Day-Lewis, Jeremy Irons and myself were due to appear at the Sarajevo film festival and were turned off a UN plane on orders from Geneva. We had to get local journalists to transport the films in for us. I tell you this only to demonstrate that festivals can be a lifeline. But, after all the difficulties I'd had in getting there, in 1996 I found myself being flown in on a four-seater RAF plane as an official guest, endorsed by the British Embassy. Ironically, the film I was to present was Mission: Impossible.” FilmOrderFoundFourImpossibleDifficultyMissionsBritishDuesLocalsOccasionsJournalistPlanesOfficialsIronGuestsFestivalsTransportGenevaTurned OffEmbassyFilm FestivalsLifelinesDaniel Day LewisMission ImpossibleRaf Author:Vanessa Redgrave
“It's mind-boggling to consider that movies this bad are actually committed to film. The poor quality of The Pest in almost every category - humor, intelligence, creativity, and just plain entertainment value - ranks it somewhere between a bad infomercial and a local cable newscast. Rarely do I consider the act of seeing a movie to be a chore, but this kind of experience is the exception.” MindKindFilmValuesPoorQualityCreativitySeeingCommittedEntertainmentLocalsExceptionCategoriesCablesChoresPestsMind BogglingPoor QualityInfomercials Author:James Berardinelli
