This is by far Seagals best film and his only one that you could truly call
good. His others range from average to just plain awful, but this is a great
action film. Its basically Dies Hard on a boat, but is one of the few
successful Die Hard clones. Andrew Davis made this before The Fugitive, and
his direction is tense and exciting, whats more he gets Seagals best
performance ...

Every so often a film comes along that is misunderstood by critics and
ignored by the public, but is subsequently rediscovered and reappraised. I
sincerely hope that "For the Boys" will join those ranks. It is an
uncommonly sincere, insightful and touching film, and the only things to be
held against it amount to quibbles. True, the old age make up is dreadful,
and the last fiv...

I actually saw this film on its first theater run. For a young boy, the
movie poster was exciting. I have remembered scenes for these past
thirty years, and recently saw it again, so I'm here to give a few
impressions. The plot, in short, is that a group of replacement US
soldiers led by Burt Lancaster's character is sent to hold an ancient
castle during the Battle of t...

In Harm's Way is a film that is historically important in the career of
its star, John Wayne, for two reasons. First, it marked his last
appearance in a Black and White film, and second, it was his last film
before undergoing surgery for lung cancer. It also marks Wayne's first
of three films with Kirk Douglas, and his only film with director Otto
Preminger.As for the f...

To my mind, this is the best knights of olde movie ever made. Years ago it
was the habit of British tv station BBC2 to have a movie on at 6pm most
evenings and they were usually, either 40 & 50's westerns, historical
yarns,
melodramas or swashbucklers. One such film was The Black Shield of
Falworth,
I was a big fan of such films like The Vikings (Incidentally or
co-inci...
