Is there a classification lower than " Straight to Video "?How about " Straight to the $3.99 bin " ? This one may be several
grades below even that one . Never mind what Armand Assante , Sean Young and George Kennedy are
doing in this movie . " Hey , it's a job " I understand that an actor
needs to work and this is the equivalent of me working at a fast food
joint when times we...

Over the years I've seen some pretty decent story ideas that the SciFi
Channel has used as a basis for original films. They've usually gone to
the bad because the money and/or skill needed to make them A quality
entertainment just wasn't there.THE SANDS OF OBLIVION gives them the chance to mess up not a good idea
but a potentially awesome one that could have been as exc...

I think to gain a full appreciation of Don't Come Knocking, it will
help to be familiar with the work of Pulitzer and multiple Obie winning
Sam Shepard, who contributes the screenplay for this movie. I've read
reviews all over the internet complaining that the film lacks in terms
of realism, but this complaint seems ill-conceived if aimed at Shepard,
who has generally operated ...

What can I say, I loved the original and though Walter Matthau is somewhat
missed, Don Rickles does a fine job of replacing him. Unlike most films
where you can't stop thinking about how much better the original actor
would
have been, you start wondering who's better: Matthu or
Rickles?Not as funny or sweet as the original but still worth a
peek.3/5 stars -John Ulmer...

I'm definitely not familiar with Mark Dindal, but kudos to him for
making one heck of an animation. It's rather different, kiddish and yet
there's stuff for adults too, it's fast-paced and yet there's some slow
scenes, and all together it just ridiculously fun. Together with its
cast of famous actors which includes John Rhys-Davies (Gimli in LOTR),
Don ...

It's rare for a cop movie to combine elements from "The Untouchables",
"Thelma & Louise" and "The Brady Bunch".Unless, of course, the lead character has a tendency to run his car into
parking meters."The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult" brings the lofty trilogy to a close
with the same old cast (Kennedy, Simpson, Presley) and slapstick antics
involving a prison breakout, terrori...

this film were thinking when they created the hideous "monster" that
kills several people. Beautiful babes go on board a yacht belonging to
gangster types and one brings a pretty kitty she just found. Little
does she know that it's an escaped mutant and it barfs up more than
just hairballs. It also meows an...

The real question that "The Naked Gun" poses is not why it's one of the
funniest spoofs ever made, but why virtually no subsequent movie in
this genre has been any good at all. I used to adore this sort of movie
when I was a kid--"Airplane," "Top Secret," and the six-episode "Police
Squad" show, which became the basis for the "Naked Gun" series, were
among the funniest film...

1981's Just Before Dawn is one of the best tales of wilderness horror
out there. It's one of the finest-made slashers of the 80's and it
easily blows movies like The Final Terror, Don't Go in the Woods, or
The Prey out of the water.A group of young adults come to check out the mountain property that
one of the group has just bought. However they are not alone in...

these elements can be found in Alvin Rakoff's "Death Ship".So why am I
not going to trash this little movie?It's simple,I really like this

should be,yet still manages to tell its story and generate a
considerable amount of unease and ...

Prisoner fan and most movies I see him in because of it), I'm also
curious whenever I see Ed Bishop who I liked in UFO as CDR Styker,
Captain Blue from Captain Scarlet, etc etc, and I have loved Cassavetes
in the few films I've seen him in (The Killers, Dirty Dozen, Rosemary's
Baby). So being how I'm in a f...

Unlike the comment that said "unoriginal", for a western of the early
seventies, when the western was at that time dying out for a period,
this is a gallant effort on the part of all involved in the production.
I must confess, it would be hard for me to say anything bad about a
John Wayne movie, it certainly is not "The Searchers", but no where

Having had the advantage of reading Donn Pearce's novel about a year before
seeing Cool Hand Luke, it was with great anticipation that I awaited it's
transfer to the big screen. I was not disappointed.Cool Hand Luke could easily be classified by the misguided as just a prison
yarn, but it is so much more than that. It is the story of a man who
refuses to be nailed down or conform...

What's not to love about this film? If you can reserve judgment until
the end, you'll discover the humorous and heartwarming tale of a woman
who is not afraid to stand her ground! Doris Day as Josie, opposite
Peter Graves' Jason, is a tremendous force to be reckoned with. In true
Doris-style she takes on "the men" of Wyoming, bucking convention (in a
great pair of Levi's) and d...

little more than one set and no costume changes; and the action is

its story is more gripping than most "action" movies.An old airplane owned by an oil company crashes at the hands of a
crusty old pilot (James Stewart) whose bitterness and fat...

When I first saw "Charade", I was convinced for the longest time this was a
Hitchcock movie. Small wonder; Hitchcock all but set the standard for
quality mystery films. Still, I give director Donen my sincerest apologies.
Anyway, where did this film go?? Its tasteful humor, colorful characters
and intelligent plot make "Charade" one of the best mystery movies ever
made, but ...
