This is a great movie! I've got to say it again: This is a great movie!
I've never liked cowboy or Indian pictures, but this movie realisticly sets
up a fantastic but simple premise that there are Indians still living in the
wilderness. Tom Berringer discovers them with the help of Barbera Hershey
while the sheriff played by Kurtwood Smith is looking for him. Smith, by the
way...

Son In Law didn't do so hot in the box office, but that only means the
masses were wrong. This movie is one of the few movies that Pauly Shore
really excels in, with some of the funniest lines I've ever heard. Although
the ending is sub-par, the antics of Shore carries the
movie....

Misery is a dark, but witty venture into Stephen King territory. It's
about
a popular novelist who crashes his car on a snowy mountain road and is
rescued by a nurse who claims she is his number one fan. As the time
goes
by, he realizes she has no intention of letting him leave.The film moves with a brisk, taut pace thanks to director Rob Reiner,
who
helmed another ex...

Just a few points on this movie as it happens to be one of my all time
favourites (thank you Mr Balaban and Mr Hawthorne).There is an aspect to childhood that is too often (and in the case of
Hollywood almost always) forgotten and that is the dark side. The world
for
a child does not always appear as a bright, shining place of wonder and
joy;
more often than not the world ...

When One Magic Christmas came out in 1985 on TV, my mom recorded it on
to a VHS tape. We had this beat up, bad copy of the movie. You had to
turn the volume up all the way in order to hear anything, still this
movie was amazing to me. Mary Steenbergen doesn't believe in Christmas
or Santa. She is such a scrooge about the season, that not even her
kids' excitement could ...

When it comes to a fun, entertaining sex comedy, I don't think of
'American
Pie', as there is a different movie at number one on my list - Mischief!
When I recollect this movie, my first memories cast back to Jonathon as
he
is about feel the breast of the beautiful Marilyn. This then took me into
a
cinematic journey that I would never forget. This is a funny look at wha...

I saw this picture on Betamax in '81 or '82 and it really got under my
skin.
Frankenheimer's monster movie is partly responsible for me getting into
the
business (along with Jaws, Alien, Raiders, Blade Runner, not that I'm
really
inviting such comparisons). I actually had occasion to have a smoke and
chat
briefly with Robert Foxworth about the making of the picture ...
