If you love the "Guns Of Navarone" as one of the greatest, and more
importantly most literate WWII action films of all time, then this "sequel"
is really going to cause some painful moments, and I wouldn't recommend
watching the two films back-to-back under any circumstances. Owing to the
fact that it took original "Guns" producer Carl Foreman a decade to get the
"Force 10" f...

Films like 'The Deep' are few, sporadic, and are usually not accepted
by many audience members, but are usually the films that end up meaning
the most in the end. I found that this film had a charm that I could
not put my finger on, upon viewing it for the first time. The book,
written by well known Peter Benchley (of 'Jaws' fame) was released on
the heels of 'Jaws' success, so...

There are a number of good things going for this film, among them two
things you learn right from the opening credits: (1) John Frankenheimer
is the director and (2) it's based on a book by Thomas Harris, the man
who created "Hannibal Lechter." Throw in two intense always-interesting actors, Bruce Dern and Marthe
Keller, and you now have a good, no-nonsense story translated to the<...

'Jaws' is the original summer blockbuster, setting the standard by
which all others are measured. It's the Michael Jordan of cinema: there
will never be another 'Jaws,' simply because the film so profoundly
changed the way movies are made and marketed.Based on Peter Benchley's bestselling novel, 'Jaws' centers around the
fictional North Atlantic resort island of Amity, which finds ...

There are many disappointing action pictures out there – this is not
one of them. The genius of the film is there is no wasted motion. The
picture starts right with the plot – no introduction or character
development. The characters are allowed to develop as the plot moves
along.Which brings us to pacing – the pacing in this picture is excellent. It
moves right a...

This film deserved every Oscar thrown at it. It looks good, it's funny,
it's extremely complex but doesn't dwell on the fact for a moment: if
you can spot the twists, you haven't got time to sit back smugly as
they pop up - everything rushes on. The acting's good as is the story,
one carrying the other. I can't think of a movie where people so
obviously had as much fun - maybe ...

This film does have its flaws, but is still a great film. It had to be
made
when it did (sic) if only because the Spanish Air Force still had their
Merlin engined Hispano HA-1109 and HA-1112 "Me 109s" and Casa C.2111
"111s"
flying in 1968!It's good that some "stars" do not have big roles. Michael Caine whilst
being "hot box office" is shot down - many pilots who seemed invi...

A Man For All Seasons is an erudite examination of the old Biblical
maxim: a man cannot serve two masters. Sir Thomas More (poignantly
portrayed by Paul Scofield) struggles to be true to both his faith and
his monarch (the lusty and hearty King Henry VIII superbly played by
Robert Shaw). I think it is difficult for citizens in our present
secular society to truly understand jus...

As the son of a man who fought and almost died in the Battle of the
Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge is a stupid name that brings to mind
something to do with weight control), I not only think this is the
worst action picture I've ever seen, I'm ashamed that Hollywood
insulted our veterans with this stinker two decades after the battle in
which so many Americans died to tu...

The first three Bonds (Dr. No, FRWL, Goldfinger) are without question
the best in the series, though From Russia with Love may well be the
best of the best. It has all things we look for in a great Bond film -
exotic locales, sinister villains, beautiful women - but it was made
before Goldfinger established the

"Adam Had Four Sons" (1941) is a perfect movie for folks who enjoy
watching stars performing early in their careers. In this film, there
are four such performances to draw the viewer's attention. The story
here concerns the quaint Connecticut household headed by Warner Baxter
and Fay Wray in 1907, and the French governess (Ingrid Bergman, in her
second American film) who is bro...
