 | Barfly [Read More ...]
Description: The script for this movie was written by outrageous poet-author-alcoholic Charles Bukowski. But director Barbet Schroeder makes it into an oddly amusing story of a pugnacious drunk writer (Mickey Rourke) based on Bukowski himself. Rourke spends almost all of his time at the bar, ... |
 | Body Heat [Read More ...]
Description: While scoring high-profile credits as a screenwriter (including The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Raiders of the Lost Ark), Lawrence Kasdan made his directorial debut with this steamy, contemporary film noir in the tradition of Double Indemnity and other classics f... |
 | Homeboy [Read More ...]
Review: WHEN WILL IT BE RELEASED ON DVD?:I have had this movie on VHS for some years now and of course the quality is getting worse and worse!
I wonder why this movie never got the credit it should have gotten.
I love the story, I love the acting, I love the look of the film, I love the ... |
 | Angel Heart (Unrated) [Read More ...]
Description: Set in Harlem and New Orleans in 1955, this supernatural thriller stirred a brief controversy when released in 1987 because some scenes featuring Lisa Bonet (then a popular cast member of The Cosby Show) were considered too sexually explicit to be rated R. The edited material was... |
 | The Last Ride [Read More ...]
Review: Good Flick.:This is one of Rourkes lesser known movies that went straight to video, but dont let that fool you, as this is another great leading performance by Rourke. Micky does his job as an actor breathing life into his charater, and bringing the movie alive in a way that less... |
 | Rainmaker [Read More ...]
Description: When viewed from a cranky perspective, this by-the-book David versus Goliath story doesn't offer any surprises, and it's a bit sad to watch director Francis Coppola (who also adapted John Grisham's bestseller) squandering his once-glorious talent on such conventional Hollywood fa... |
 | Thursday [Read More ...]
Review: Hard-to-Find Gem:I rented Thursday about a decade ago and was blown away by the performance of Thomas Jane. His charismatic portrayal of a very bad man gone domesticated was mesmerizing and watching him try to uphold his perfect suburban life while his past comes back to haunt h... |
 | Wild Orchid [Read More ...]
Description: Back when he wasn't relegated to the lesser cable channels, soft-porn meister Zalman King uncorked this howler of a drama on moviegoers, who were initially titillated by the ratings battle, but then shrugged and went off in search of the next cheap sensation. Model and subseque... |
 | Fade to Black (Coll) [Read More ...]
Description: "I'm Jarret. Cody Jarret, understand?!" snarls Dennis Christopher (Breaking Away) in his best James Cagney. OK, he's no Rich Little, but as the movie-mad social misfit Eric Binford he makes a convincing media-saturated Norman Bates, and for a while his geeky fumblings and wounded... |
 | Man On Fire [Read More ...]
Description: Style trumps substance in Man on Fire, a slick, brooding reunion of Crimson Tide star Denzel Washington and director Tony Scott. The ominous, crime-ridden setting is Mexico City, where a dour, alcoholic warrior with a mysterious Black Ops past (Washington) seeks redemption as the... |
 | Pope of Greenwich Village [Read More ...]
Description: Turn up the Sinatra, put on a leather jacket, and slip into a rollicking, high-voltage movie that produces tears of laughter (New York Daily News). Mickey Rourke (The Rainmaker), EricRoberts (National Security, Runaway Train) and Daryl Hannah (Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Splash) create... |
 | Rumble Fish [Read More ...]
Description: The second of Francis Ford Coppola's films based on the popular juvenile novels of S.E. Hinton (the first being The Outsiders), Rumble Fish split critics into opposite camps: those who admired the film for its heavily stylized indulgence, and those who hated it for the very same ... |

 | Pope of Greenwich Village [Read More ...]
Description: Picture if you will two cousins, Charlie (Mickey Rourke) and Paulie (Eric Roberts), prowling the mean streets of New York's Little Italy. Charlie is reasonably put-together, a maitre d' at a chic café who aspires to running his own restaurant someday. Paulie is an incurable flak... |
![]() | Point Blank (1997) [Read More ...]
Description: Strictly for late-night laughs, this ultraviolent action flick fails to make sense even of its own premise. A busload of Texas convicts are freed when heavily armed commandos open fire on them. The survivors and commandos take over a shopping mall, gathering numerous hostages tog... |
 | Last Outlaw [Read More ...]
A ruthless gang of Confederate soldiers after the Civil War rob Yankee banks for a living, killing anyone who gets in their way. But when the gang rebels against their leader, he has no choice but to hunt them down, bloodily murdering them one by one. |
 | Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man [Read More ...]
Description: Sheathing itself in bad taste, this film flaunts its tackiness, its machismo, and its very stupidity, which of course makes for a lot of dopey fun. Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) returns to his roots, the LA of 1996 (the film was set in the near future, as it was made in 1991). ... |

An Ivy Leaguer puts aside his education to teach at an inner city school. |
 | 9 1/2 Weeks (Unrated) [Read More ...]
Description: Frequently given short shrift as a blue movie (which it is) and as mindless (which it isn't), director Adrian Lyne's follow-up to Flashdance (insert own joke here) is a thoughtful, smutty film about a bad sexual relationship. It follows the two-month affair between Elizabeth, an ... |
