 | Last of the Dogmen [Read More ...]
Description: Despite an irritating, tacked-on voice-over narration that somebody must have thought was necessary to make sense of the story (it wasn't), Last of the Dogmen is actually a very moving and magical film. Tom Berenger plays a Montana bounty hunter who helps an anthropologist (Barba... |
 | Looking for Mr. Goodbar [Read More ...]
Description: Based on the mid-'70s novel by Judith Rossner (which itself was based on a true story), this film was supposed to be the one that established Diane Keaton's credibility as a "serious" actress--and yet she won the Oscar for the other film she did the same year, Annie Hall. Still,... |
 | At Play in the Fields of the Lord (2pc) [Read More ...]
Description: Missionaries travel to the Brazilian rain forest and make a mess of everything. What else is new? Actually, plenty in this dark but beautifully realized adaptation of Peter Matthiessen's well-regarded novel, directed by Hector Babenco. Aidan Quinn, Daryl Hannah, Kathy Bates, and ... |
 | If Tomorrow Comes [Read More ...]
I CANT BELIEVE I LOVED THIS MOVIE:This movie to my surprise is very very good. I rarly can watch a mini-series without dozing off, but this one had me glued to my tv for about 4 hours, or more. This is a great movie, if your lucky enough to find this movie, even if its on VHS, GET IT. |
 | Gettysburg (Widescreen Edition) [Read More ...]
Description: Three days in the summer of 1863, at a place called Gettysburg. Although it received a theatrical release, this four-hour depiction of the bloody Civil War battle was shot as a made-for-television film. But no taint of cheapness or shortcuts should stick to this magnificent pictu... |
 | The Big Chill (15th Anniversary Edition) [Read More ...]
Description: Lawrence Kasdan's 1983 big-budget variation on John Sayles's The Return of the Seacaucus Seven finds a cluster of old college radicals--who have since gone on to sundry professions and various degrees of materialism--reuniting over the death of a friend. Both playful and thoughtf... |
 | The Avenging Angel [Read More ...]
Description: Miles Utley (Tom Berenger) is a guerrilla for God, a gun-wielding member of the Danites, the militia wing of the Mormons during the late 19th century. Once the defensive arm of the besieged church, the Danites (dubbed "the Avenging Angels") are now feared by the Utah congregation... |
 | Eddie & Cruisers [Read More ...]
Description: Perhaps best known for its faux Springsteen soundtrack, the 1983 Eddie and the Cruisers is a rock lover's fantasy run wild. The story finds a reporter (Ellen Barkin) tracking down rumors of an unreleased album by a band whose charismatic leader (Michael Paré) allegedly died year... |
 | Platoon [Read More ...]
Description: Platoon put writer-turned-director Oliver Stone on the Hollywood map; it is still his most acclaimed and effective film, probably because it is based on Stone's firsthand experience as an American soldier in Vietnam. Chris (Charlie Sheen) is an infantryman whose loyalty is teste... |
 | Shoot To Kill [Read More ...]
Review: A classic--adventure, humor, and plenty of twists and turns:Shoot to Kill
A classic with Sidney Poitier and his acting is superb, as usual. The story begins with a kidnapping gone awry. The hostage is killed viciously by the kidnapper and the FBI agent in charge, Agent Warren ... |
 | Rough Riders (1997) [Read More ...]
Review: Rick and the Rough Riders:The Spanish American war is a bit of history I was not familiar with at all. I knew about Teddy and the charge up San Juan Hill but mostly as legend not history. Now I have a somewhat better understanding of the whys and wherefores regarding this epi... |
 | Dear America - Letters Home from Vietnam [Read More ...]
Description: All the confusion, pain, despair, and even hope of the men and women who served in Vietnam is captured in Dear America: Letters Home from Vietnam. Read by dozens of actors such as Harvey Keitel, Matt Dillon, and Kathleen Turner, these letters show a more human story of the war th... |
 | Sliver [Read More ...]
Description: After her success with Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone opted for familiar territory with this campfest that purports to be a sexualized thriller about voyeurism but in reality is more of an excuse to get Stone and costar William Baldwin out of their clothes. Rear Window it ain't. St... |
 | Betrayed (1988) [Read More ...]
Review: Are You People Kidding?:This is not a 5 star film. And I have to agree with Acute Observer in finding this not realistic or believable in many aspects. As flawed as our government is I highly doubt that the FBI would allow a club that hunts young black men to continue on while ... |
 | Platoon (1986) [Read More ...]
Description: Platoon put writer-turned-director Oliver Stone on the Hollywood map; it is still his most acclaimed and effective film, probably because it is based on Stone's firsthand experience as an American soldier in Vietnam. Chris (Charlie Sheen) is an infantryman whose loyalty is teste... |

 | Junction Boys [Read More ...]
Description: Tom Berenger leads an outstanding cast in this bone-crunching dramatization of legendary college football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant's debut at Texas A&M in the summer of 1954. The often unnerving story finds Bryant ducking the school's good ol' boy network of rich, influential alu... |
 | Someone to Watch Over Me [Read More ...]
Description: This stylish, smart 1987 movie stars Tom Berenger as a New York cop and family man who falls for the rich and beautiful witness (Mimi Rogers) he's assigned to protect. Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) does something here he should be doing a lot more often: directing contemporary film... |
 | Shattered (1991) [Read More ...]
Description: Tom Berenger stars as an amnesiac who investigates his life before a car wreck took his memory, and finds that things were not all they should have been. The promising mystery gets less interesting as the script becomes more perfunctorily complicated, and a crucial plot twist tow... |
 | Eye See You (aka D-Tox) [Read More ...]
Description: What do you get when you cross the director of I Know What You Did Last Summer with Sylvester Stallone? You get a slasher film in which the victims are not screaming, scantily clad teens, but parka-clad cops. Whether that's an improvement on the genre is open for debate. With Eye... |
