12/21: I decided to watch Warm Summer Rain for Kelly Lynch of Top Gun and Witness fame, and the DVD cover seemed interesting.

While waiting for the actress to show up for the longest time, I correctly guessed the tanned lead star must be Kelly Lynch after all and had to look up the internet to find out I got the name wrong: Kelly McGillis. I vaguely remember the former as the doctor in Road House with Patrick Swayze. After completing Warm Summer Rain, I can see why she disappeared from the map.

A Paris, Texas wannabe, it's nothing but a low-budget acting workshop for two people who desperately needed it: Kelly Lynch and Barry Tubb. Who wants to watch two people stuck in a room feeling themselves out and pretending to inject a lot of emotion behind their artificial dialogue? They're often naked but have no chemistry and fail to connect on every level imaginable.

All in all, acting workshops don't belong in movies.
