 | Red Headed Stranger [Read More ...]
the beauty of reality:I have watched this movie more than 20 times. It represents honesty, pride, power, and determination molded all in love and care. This movie is not for everyone. It is for men of ethics, tradition, and determination. |
 | Skin Game [Read More ...]
Review: Very Enjoyable James Garner Comedy With An Edge:In the mid-70's James Garner & Louis Gossett teamed up in two memorable episodes of "The Rockford Files". Before that, however, they starred in "The Skin Game" with Susan Clark (best known as the mother on the t.v. show "Webster"). ... |
 | Killer Klowns from Outer Space [Read More ...]
Description: What's completely and utterly baffling about Killer Klowns is not the plot--that's rather tidily summed up by the title--but the fact that it got made at all. According to the filmmakers, (the Chiodo brothers: Charles, Edward, and Stephen) all it took to convince the studio was a... |
 | Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol [Read More ...]
Description: This 1962 special marked the last hurrah of Mr. Magoo, who starred in 43 cartoon shorts, including two Oscar® winners, from the UPA Studio between 1949 and 1959. Magoo appears as Scrooge in a Broadway production of "A Christmas Carol" in this minimally animated hour. The play-wi... |
 | Johnny Guitar [Read More ...]
Description: "I've never seen a woman who was more like a man," a character observes of Vienna (Joan Crawford), who has just opened a saloon that hasn't exactly endeared itself to the local townspeople. Emma (Mercedes McCambridge), the local sexually repressed, lynch-happy harpy, is particula... |
 | Outlaw Josey Wales [Read More ...]
Description: Clint Eastwood fired the original director, Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff), and took over the reins of this project himself. He may have had a point: this brutal, thoughtful western, a near-tragedy about a Civil War veteran whose past comes looking for him, is probably Eastwoo... |
 | Far Country [Read More ...]
Description: The far country of the title is Alaska, where James Stewart, a cold-hearted cattleman, and his sidekick Walter Brennan, a garrulous old codger, drive a herd of cattle to cash in on the gold rush. Stewart is the ultimate loner, a point the film takes pains to paint as he watches h... |
 | Man of the West [Read More ...]
Description: Western auteur Anthony Mann and aging Western icon Gary Cooper team up in this stark tale of a trio of train passengers stranded in the middle of the desert after a railway holdup. Taking responsibility for his helpless compatriots (Julie London as a sad-eyed prostitute and Arthu... |
 | Teachers [Read More ...]
Review: lots of fun:I was an extra in this movie, so I cannot give a truly unbiased review of it, but it was loads of fun to participate in. Arthur Hiller was a wonderful guy, and so were all the actors. It was like a big vaguely organized circus....in other words, a great experience...L... |
 | 7 Faces of Dr. Lao [Read More ...]
7 Faces of Dr. Lao:This is not only a classic, but one of the most entertaining Tony Randall movies ever made. A young Barbara Eden adds to a great story and cast. |
![]() | Something Wicked This Way Comes [Read More ...]
Description: Ray Bradbury adapted his own novel for Something Wicked This Way Comes, Jack Clayton's beautiful rendering of the turn-of-the-century fantasy of a mysterious carnival that literally blows into a small town to taunt and tempt the inhabitants. Jonathan Pryce (Brazil), the handsome ... |
 | Cahill U.S. Marshall [Read More ...]
Description: After the late-career high of True Grit, only The Cowboys and The Shootist escaped the curse of half-baked scripts, recycled material, and lackadaisical filmmaking that characterized John Wayne's last half-dozen years in movies. Cahill is no exception, but it's more energetic th... |

Description: This 1962 special marked the last hurrah of Mr. Magoo, who starred in 43 cartoon shorts, including two Oscar® winners, from the UPA Studio between 1949 and 1959. Magoo appears as Scrooge in a Broadway production of "A Christmas Carol" in this minimally animated hour. The play-wi... |
 | Huckleberry Finn [Read More ...]
Review: Not very good:This is one of those movies that you are better off renting than buying. It stars Ron Howard as Huckleberry Finn and Donnie Most as Tom Sawyer (no joke, Ralph Mouth from Happy Days). Although Ron Howard has the look of a Huck Finn, I thought this was a terrible choi... |

 | Spaced Invaders [Read More ...]
Review: Spaced Invaders:Wayne Alexander, what a genius. Take 5 Martian Atomic Space Navy wanabees, send them to the small town of Big Bean on Halloween Night. Have the local radio broadcast the original war of the worlds and you get the mix up comedy that is spaced invaders. I don't t... |

 | Big Bad Mama [Read More ...]
Description: Angie Dickinson stars as a bank-robbing matriarch in this 1974 Roger Corman production, often described as a knock-off of Bonnie and Clyde. (As if that makes any difference regarding the worth of the film--which is pretty good.) Set in Great Depression-era Texas, the story find... |
 | Crime of Passion [Read More ...]
Review: For Stanwyck and Sterling Hayden fans only:I'd like to give it three stars but can't. It's a silly story line about climbing to fame and fortune in the world of police detectives. It's not a becoming role for Barbara Stanwyck, and Sterling Hayden just stands there and looks his s... |
![]() | Bad Georgia Road [Read More ...]
Review: A good escape back to the seventies.: The tape I received was grainy, low quality (home-made)in appearance and my tape had not been completely erased (there was part of another movie at the end of Bad Georgia Road). This film was only about $8.00 plus shipping and the transaction... |
