I liked Panic Room, but I don't think her involvement made it any better/worse than it would have been with anyone else similar. Much the same as most of the rest of her films, really.

We just saw Inside Man in the most uncomfortable theater in the world. People, if you're wondering why you can't fill the seats, TRY SITTING IN THEM YOURSELVES. Great movie, though.
I find J.F's face, with her fine bones and tense jaw, so totally watchable, and Sigourney Weaver's not. Strange, because they have a similar affect. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Alien movies, so it's not across-the-board Sigourney-hate. And there's that one where she's the agoraphobic profiler, and Harry Connick is EVIL. So scary! Off-topic. I'm sure there's a Sigourney thread. SORRY, hall-monitors!

Now I think I'd like to see Holly Hunter and Jodie Foster team up to FIGHT CRIME, and Sigourney Weaver could be their cigar-chomping, waistcoat-wearing, rule-layin'-down, no-shit-takin' superior.

this was perfection in Raising Arizona, but, yeah, it can be inadvertently hilarious in more serious roles where she ends up sounding like a cross between Bugs Bunny and the Original Cast Recording of Lil' Abner.

so Freaky Friday... given that the field hockey game coached by Kaye Ballard and Ruth Buzzi is central, I'm amazed this doesn't get more screenings in LGBT spaces. JF is totally a 40-year-old jr high student.
Barbara Harris (RIP) is great hurdling a vaccum hose, coming on to her neighbor crush, and showing decent form as a left batter playing baseball in red flares.
Car chase at the end is endless, but acting carries the day.

I finally sat down with it the other night as well. Really amazing 70s game show-style cast (in addition to Ballard & Buzzi, we get John Astin, Dick Van Patten, Sorrell Booke, Charlene Tilton, and a bunch of "Oh, that guy!" character actors).
From some reason I was really ticked by the scene at Astin's with Foster giving the stinkeye to his glamorous but increasingly frumpy secretary.
I also rescreened Blues Brothers and was struck by the similarities in the climatic car chases, mainly in regards to smashing up cop cars and the use of landmarks (part of the FF chase goes through the LA River).

Foster's interview on the Freaky DVD (which seems to date from the FF remake era, 2003) is a little more in-depth than you might expect from Disney. She reminisces at length about all the films she did for them, getting bitten by a lion and falling into the studio toilet.
Also she was still under a binding Disney contract when she auditioned to play Leia in Star Wars (at age 14). Her mom decided to honor it, and the galaxy was never the same.
