Because I love to watch movies over and over (if they are good ones), I watched Dolores Claiborne again last night and can only say one word about Kathy Bates — WOW!
Everybody else in the movie was also outstanding. That is the second reason why I loved this movie so much. I do not know why I am rushing so hard to get this post out, I just am. If things seem a little scattered, I apologize.
I would like to give my ultra-strong recommendation for anything that Kathy Bates has done in the movies. When she plays characters that are somewhat twisted and slightly over the edge, she is at her absolute best.
My two highest recommendations for work are:
1. Misery — she plays a manic depressive nutcase. That’s all I am going to say. You will forever be reminded of this movie whenever it rains.
2. Dolores Claiborne — this movie was adapted from a Steven King novel. It is not a horror movie, it is a tense drama. Never piss off a woman that has not got much more to lose.
“Sometimes Dolores, sometimes being a high riding bitch is all a woman’ s got…”
Neither of these movies are brand-new, but they will stick in your head for a long time. Get yourself a copy of both and enjoy.
