![]() | Black Moon Rising [Read More ...]
Description: With a screenplay partially written by John Carpenter (Halloween), a cast that includes Tommy Lee Jones in the lead, and a dream car called the Black Moon that travels up to 350 miles per hour, one should feel entitled to see a pretty good movie here. It doesn't quite work out th... |
![]() | Raven [Read More ...]
Description: At the height of his financial troubles, Burt Reynolds took just about any acting job that came along. Some were critically acclaimed projects like Boogie Nights. And some were like Raven. Burt is the title character, the leader of a special ops team who discovers the decode... |
![]() | Encino Man [Read More ...]
Description: Brendan Fraser made his film debut in this 1992 comedy that never quite discovers its audience constituency. On the one hand, it features Pauly Shore, which would seem to define the picture's tone and identity accordingly. On the other hand, the film's other leading man is Sean A... |
![]() | The Magic Christian [Read More ...]
Description: This 1969 British comedy looks today like a bridge between then-contemporaneous but overlapping styles of comedy, from Terry Southern satire to Goon Show silliness to Monty Python surrealism. Peter Sellers stars as the world's wealthiest man, who sets out with a young ally (Ringo... |
![]() | Carry on Teacher [Read More ...]
Review: The Third Carry On Film:Carry On Teacher was the third entry into the long-running British comedy film series and was an amusing one at that. The series was well underway having enjoyed International success with its predecessor, Carry On Nurse. This is a gentle, light-hearted co... |
 | Intersection [Read More ...]
Description: The temptation here is to make a joke about Intersection and dead ends--but this disappointing film has too much talent involved to kid about how wrong it went. Based on the French film Les Choses de la Vie, the film was adapted by the usually reliable Marshall Brickman (Anni... |

 | Mr. Stitch [Read More ...]
Review: The ultimate act of recycling just woke up.:A very very stylized, starkly minimalistic, risky vision of the idea of life without birth, a la Frankenstein, involving a military funded operation to build the perfect soldier with the use of body parts from eighty-eight individuals. ... |

![]() | Suspect [Read More ...]
Description: Suspect is an endearingly silly suspense movie with an excellent cast. Cher stars as Washington, D.C., public defender Kathleen Riley, who is beginning to question the meaning of her career. (Before you prejudge, she's perfectly believable as a lawyer. It's the overtly Irish moni... |
![]() | Crossfire [Read More ...]
Description: Crossfire was nominated for the 1947 Best Picture Oscar won by Gentleman's Agreement. Gentlemen may propose, if not agree, that Crossfire was better. Like its upscale rival, the film noir raises the specter of anti-Semitism in America: just after World War II, an affable Jew (Sam... |

Not as entertaining as the first.:If you like the genre of 80's martial arts films like I do, this one isn't too bad. |

 | The Premonition [Read More ...]
Review: Works for me:Psychic phenomena and ESP was all the rage in the mid-70's, and became a plot-point of many forgettable thrillers and TV shows before it wore out it's welcome. The Premonition is definitely one of the better of the bunch, and might have been totally forgotten were it... |
![]() | The Toy [Read More ...]
Description: This well-packaged 1983 remake of the French comedy Le Jouet features two legendary actors in an unlikely pairing. Richard Pryor (Live on the Sunset Strip, Stir Crazy) plays a down on his luck writer who is talked into taking a job as a plaything for the spoiled rich kid of billi... |
 | Bloodfist 8: Hard Way Out [Read More ...]
Review: Not too shabby.:For a low budget direct-to-video action flick, this doesn't come off to bad. It stars real like Kickboxing champion Don "The Dragon" Wilson as an ex-CIA agent who's past back to haunt him when he and his son are targeted for murder. Some decent plot twists and Don... |
 | A Midwinter's Tale [Read More ...]
Review: Why isn't this out on DVD?:This is an excellent film - just the right mix of humor, fun, drama, and intensity. I have several copies of the VHS version and have been looking for the DVD...but no. It boggles the mind that so much trash is churned out on DVD, yet good entertainme... |

 | Two If by Sea [Read More ...]
Review: What a mess!:Two If by Sea was a movie I saw when I was a teenager, and the only reason I wanted to see it was for Sandra Bullock. I am a huge fan of her work and I thought she wouldn't do a bad movie, I was wrong of course. Sandy and Denis Leary have strange and awkward chemistr... |
