V For Vendetta
So now it’s time for Robert DeNiro in “Hide and Seek” to lose a wife, have a freaky little daughter who makes an imaginary friend who doesn’t seem to be friendly at all and battle a ghost or some supernatural being in his house. Nothing like just completely saturating the market with crap thrillers directed by the guy who did “Swimfan” eh?
“Hide and Seek” seems about as thrilling as “CandyMan 3” and makes me wonder why people don’t seem to realize that when you come across a bath tub full of water in your creepy house there’s usually something scary in it. Don’t put your arm in. Seriously. Dakota Fanning, Famke Janssen and Elizabeth Shue round out the cast but what’s Dylan Baker doing in this (an unfortunate choice for him)?
See the trailer for “Hide and Seek” for yourself here and see why it’s better to hide from this thing than viewing it.

Elizabeth Shue has aged well. Mmm. And Famke’s never been hard to look at. Mmm.
But, yeah ... DeNiro’s just got to stop doing that face thing he does ...

Don’t know where you are coming from on the Dylan Baker comment (above)… The actor is fantastic, but this is far from his first “unfortunate choice”...to name a few:
Love Potion #9, Disclosure, Radioland Murders (both in 1994), Simply Irresistable, Along Came a Spider, Random Hearts, Head of State, How to Deal. The guy is a great character actor who does bring an extra zip to may of these generic films, but it also shows he isn’t above a pay-check grab.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the man. He is fantastic in Changing Lanes, Happiness, Road to Perdition 13 Days, and Spidey 2.

Kurt, yeah I was aware of all his previous bad choices - I’m a huge fan of his (don’t forget his role in Requeim For Dream either - as the down south doctor) but this still is an unfortunate choice none the less.

Darn forgot about Requiem...!
Hopefully he will have a larger part in Spiderman 3 as Spidermans mentors tend to become his enemies...and I believe that Baker was playing one of his profs in the second one…

D’oh… for a minute there, I thought you guys were talking about Dylan McDermott. I kept thinking “I don’t remember him in any of those movies”. Heh… :D
