The Art of Failure: Chuck Connelly Not for Sale

Kevin Kline in A Fish Called Wanda

Directed by veteran Charles Crichton and written by John Cleese, the politically incorrect — at times downright mean-spirited — comedy A Fish Called Wanda (W Los Angeles – Westwood at 930 Hilgard Ave., 8:30 pm) was a big hit upon its release 20 years ago. And to think that some of it is actually quite funny. The cast includes Jamie Lee Curtis, best supporting actor Academy Award winner Kevin Kline, John Cleese, and Michael Palin. Free screening.

    Too bad they didn't show the original Journey to the Center of the Earth, with James Mason.
    It's so much better.

    A Fish Called Wanda is a gem. I'd much rather see that for the umpteenth time than Journey to the Center of the Earth, which really didn't need another remake IMHO. Especially not with Brendan "Built-In Smug" Fraser.
