The Dead Pool

Larry Carroll
A fine Dirty Harry film that features one of the best car chases of all time. And keep your eyes peeled for Jim Carrey's imitation of Axl Rose.

Some see it as a classic, others wonder why. I fall into the latter category.

El Topo

This could quite possibly be the strangest film you'll ever watch. And I mean that in the best possible way. Track this one down.

Flatliners

Larry Carroll
A horrible, dumb movie that wastes the time of the good actors involved. This should have been an early indication that Joel Schumacher needed to be stopped.

Hoffa
Countingdown.com
Larry Carroll
A decent, but flawed movie. The performance by Nicholson is tremendous, and he really becomes Hoffa, but the rest of the film just isn't on the same level as he is. Unless you're a big fan of Jack, or particularly interested by Hoffa, pass.

The Kentucky Fried Movie

Larry Carroll
A hodgepodge of skits, some of which are better then others. It hasn't dated very well, but if you love the Airplane movies, this should make you laugh a bit every now and then.

The Lonely Guy
Countingdown.com
Larry Carroll
Very funny, early Steve Martin comedy. Has some great bits including a gag with spary-on sweat and another with cardboard stand-ups doubling as friends for lonely guys. Not Martin's funniest film, but it's up there.

Lost in America

Larry Carroll
A movie whose parts are greater than its whole. There are some great moments in this film, but the overall structure is jarring, especially the way it just suddenly ends.
