Lethal Weapon caught me and everybody completely off guard. It was a film that no one saw coming. Mel Gibson was known for his work on the Mad Max films but he was still relatively obscure in Hollywood. Danny Glover was more or less a serious actor, hence his role in Color Purple. But could anyone have been prepared for what this movie accomplished? Could you be prepared for what it has spawned and created? Lethal Weapon is a tour de force of action and comedy. Richard Donner will be forever ... Read Full Story

My previous thoughts that Chris Weitz would do better than Hardwicke with this series wasn't right. He does better in the action and special effects department (although they still aren't amazing), but significantly worse in the romance department. The chemistry Stewart and Pattinson had in the first film evaporated as soon as this film started. It felt weird watching it. Taylor Lautner is a nice addition to the spotlight even though his performance is a little uneven. Stewart is still the be... Read Full Story

A film that fails to truly use what it has, and that is a potentially interesting subject. The idea that man pretends to be jewish to see how he is treated is poteintilly interesting, but the way it is done is rather haphazard. The is only one scene of actual extreme prejudice shown but that is done to the actually Jewish character. Most of the time people just do or same something somewhat anti-semitic and Gregory Peck gives them a stern look and this happends over and over again. May charac... Read Full Story

When a horror film comes along that attempts a original idea, i take a look. When i toke a look at Paul Solet's small budget horror film, i was pleasantly suprised on how well it was done. The premise sucks you in from the get-go, yet is done so well. Thanks goes to Paul Solet's promising direction who shows enough in the smallest of stylish touches. The film more creepy and disturbing than scary. Most of the acting is okay, but Jordan Ladd does the best job giving a convincing and powerful p... Read Full Story

Where plan 9 is enjoyable bad this one is just bad. It is just strange scenes after strange scenes are put together in no particular order. Poorly done in every way possible and not worth watching really. Plan 9 is funt to watch this one is not. Read Full Story

This movie should stir some emotions and make you think about how you perceive yourself and others. Lana Turner plays an actress with a daughter who meets and hires a black woman to run her house. The black women also has a young daughter and this is the tale of the trials of these four women as they share their lives together. Mahalia Jackson adds a stirring song to this very interesting drama! Read Full Story

A tour de force performance by a young Ricky Schroder highlights this dramatic remake of a young boy, his estranged mother and his alcoholic, has been boxer dad. The leads are excellent in their roles and get your hankies out for the ending! For its time some of the scenes are quite daring. Voight, Funaway and particularly Schroder should have brought in the new decade with Oscars! Read Full Story

This ill-conceived follow-up to Purple Rain appropriately captures the New Jack Swing era that Prince was evolving with, but all the flashy art direction and Scott brothers-like cinematography is undermined by a hopelessly narcissistic screenplay and Prince's own rambunctious hubris. To be fair, his self-imposed martyrdom is an intriguing angle. As a suffering artist, The Kid struggles to find an audience with his eclectic, overtly spiritualist funk against more crowd-pleasing musos - a the... Read Full Story

A film that does not really work for the most part. It has a lot of relationship that are not fully written and a lot of scenes that really are pointless. Its spy story is fairly okay the ending of it works quite well actually. The rest does not though. The characters for the most part are poorly developed and it is another film that painfully simplifies the Spanish civil war. The climax is good as are the main male character and the antagonist but no one else. One biggest problem I have are ... Read Full Story

A cheesy sentimental film, that I suppose works in a cheesy sentimental sort of way, I guess. If you like a film like that I suppose you would like it. A problem comes from the drama between the daughter and father which has a tacked on feel and it does not work. The aging works partially as does the married couples interaction, but anything involving the daughter does not work. Oscar Win Best Actor Henry Fonda 3/5- Fonda gives a fine performance as Norman Thayer but not one of overt greatn... Read Full Story
