 | Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte [Read More ...]
Description: Poor Charlotte Hollis. She's been shunned by the community for decades, ever since the fateful night in 1927 when her lover was hacked apart with an axe. Her antebellum southern mansion is slated for the bulldozer, as it stands in the way of highway construction. Charlotte's only... |
 | Flight of the Phoenix (1965) [Read More ...]
Description: Robert Aldrich's tense, 1965 drama about a plane crash in the Sahara is a unique psychological study of men in desperate circumstances. In this somewhat revisionist view of classic heroism, every character within the mixed lot is stretched to his limit, and individual efforts to ... |
 | Charade (Unrated) [Read More ...]
Description: Audrey Hepburn plays a Parisienne whose husband is murdered and who finds she is being followed by four men seeking the fortune her late spouse had hidden away. Cary Grant is the stranger who comes to her aid, but his real motives aren't entirely clear--could he even be the kille... |
 | Delta Force [Read More ...]
Description: This typical but well-made action movie, which spawned numerous sequels, means to combine the best elements of the disaster movie with the hard-boiled attributes of traditional action-adventures. When a plane is hijacked to the Middle East by Palestinian terrorists, the Pentagon ... |
 | Eiger Sanction [Read More ...]
Description: Clint Eastwood plays James Bond in some unlikely mid-1970s casting. Eastwood directed himself as an art teacher (!) who is actually a government operative (!!). But when an American agent is assassinated in Europe, he's called out of retirement to put the hurt on the men who did ... |

 | Earthquake [Read More ...]
Description: The disaster-movie trend of the early and mid-1970s was starting to wear out its welcome when Earthquake was released in 1974. It’s another one of those enjoyably mindless all-star marathons, and the title tells you all you need to know about the plot. Charlton Heston offers hi... |
 | Airport '79: Concorde [Read More ...]
Review: "LOVE BOAT SOON WILL BE MAKING ANOTHER RUN, THE LOVE BOAT PROMISES SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!":'Airport 79 Concord' is embarrassingly bad, even for this type of film. With "JJ" Jimmie Walker and Charo in the mix, it's hard not to think of this film as a predecessor to the 'Love Boat... |
 | The Boston Strangler [Read More ...]
Description: The unexpected casting of Tony Curtis as the presumed Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo, is only the first of the attractions of this hard-nosed suspense picture. Although the style of The Boston Strangler looks dated today, with its split-screen experiments and post-Bonnie and Cl... |

 | Death on the Nile [Read More ...]
Description: Following Albert Finney's quirky and compelling performance as Agatha Christie's Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, in 1974's Murder on the Orient Express, Peter Ustinov capably took over the role in this 1978 adaptation of Christie's river-bound whodunit. While on a pleasure cru... |
