Surprisingly-Good Movie:This was one of those rare cases in which the opposite of what you often see in films occurs: we get a movie that should have been stupid and hokey but turned out to be well-done and a good thriller. Yes, it's a very pleasant surprise.

Raintree County:"Raintree County" has been part of my psychic since I first saw it in theatrical release in 1956. I was only ten years old at the time and was completely 'star struck' by the stunningly beautiful and captivating 25 year old Elizabeth Taylor as Susanna. I have be... |

One of Ridley Scott's most wrong-headed films, this one (like all of his movies) looks fabulous and sounds utterly ridiculous, almost from the beginning. His first mistake was casting the wonderful Gerard Depardieu as Columbus and forcing him to speak English, which Depardieu doe... |

In the low tradition of knockoff horror flicks best seen (or not seen) on a drive-in movie screen, Steven Spielberg's sequel to Jurassic Park is a poorly conceived, ill-organized film that lacks story and logic. Screenwriter David Koepp strings along a number of loose ideas while... |

One of the truly oddball artifacts of the early talkie era, either a cockeyed fluke or a surrealist masterpiece. Producer-director Roland West had already done a silent film version of The Bat (1926), Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood's creaky stage melodrama about a fie... |

Writer-director Sam Raimi's extremely stylized, blood-soaked follow-up to his creepy Evil Dead isn't really a sequel; rather, it's a remake on a better budget. It also isn't really a horror film (though there are plenty of decapitations, zombies, supernatural demons, and gore) as... |
