This guy got just what he wished for
Fun little teeny bop film loaded with cool cats , fine babes , tough punks and their slick cars , and lots of teen-age angst and woes . I did hear a couple of tunes that came out well past ' 56 , but who cares , it was a good soundtrack . Had the movie continued into the future we would have seen the immediate pregnanc...

In an odd turn of events Kittredge comes into ownership of the disputed acreage and begins a hazardous journey to get the bovine ...

Stagecoach crosses injun country
Good remake of the John Wayne film . While this is not the best western I've ever seen , it did have some of the most exciting scenes around .

If you like super silly farces having no roots in re...

So young , so cynical : so mature , so desperate
Excellent tale of 2 girls fresh out of high school , both intent on striking out into the world on their own . While on the edge of maturity they are still unable to control silly urges to play pranks which leads one of them into a relationship with a strange , lovable , obsessive loner . This man can't seem to relate ...

Obnoxious entertainment wannabe pulls out all stops to get his mug on tv . His equally odious girlfriend and he hit upon a surefire method for his gaining fame which leads to an insane ride behind the scenes of big time talk television . Weird and bizarre but totally entertaining .

Slashing story , slicing performances , cutting dialogue . . .

Tough guy injuns go up against The Duke and get a bloody nose

A chip off the old block
Never figured Saint Nick for a family man . In this he gives the reins over to his son which leads to all the cutesy pie things with children and love that you'd expect from any holiday family film . Amusing movie with it's own take on Christmas but still just one more show designed to warm the cockles of your heart .

Fairly good comedy featuring an ultra smart little boy who is used by swindlers for their own gain despite the over protectiveness of his father . Meanwhile , the boy is scheming to meet the famous French actress while his sister is anguishing over boys and proms . Typical 60's comedy .

Powder monkeys try to blow up a flying rock
Exciting , but still just another disaster movie . Not realistic to me , but the story and acting were good enough to keep me glued to the action . A far more plausible , not to mention entertaining , film than " Barfageddon " . Great graphics of a giant wave wiping out tall buildings , cars , and assorted folks .

This was a big favorite of mine back when it came out . I loved the corny gaglines like " leg of lamb " for the murdered woman named Lamb , whose body parts were served up in the Greasy Spoon Cafe .

Cad / creep / jerk marries , then dominates , woman
Good musical with De Niro and Minelli giving excellent performances as a pair of aggravating people . Both of them constantly had me grinding my teeth over their silly inability to get along with either each other or , in De Niro's case , with most anybody else . This sax blowing moron couldn't get his mind off himself...

Huggies , cons , gunplay , kids , salesmen , and jerks
Way , way out comedy featuring some of the zaniest characters I've ever seen . The two brothers who kept leaving the baby on top of the car were a scream . Cage and Hunter were hilarious as the totally stupid couple who just had to have a baby . Non stop laughs in this madcap adventure .

Painter runs afoul of the law
Good drama about a man chased by hot headed vigilantes and the police for a crime he claims to be innocent of . Along the way he is aided by a group of kids who believe in his innocence . Very exciting show with a satisfying ending .

Ye olde Jolly Roger flies again
In many ways this was a slicker version than the 1950 film ; the acting and many of the props and settings were superior . Given all this I still prefer the old picture : it had a grittier feel to it , more like a crusty old buckaneer . I especially appreciated the big ship in the earlier version : this one was simply ...

One more weird flic
What a bunch of dysfunctional dead heads : all total believers in situational ethics with lives heading in a downward , out of control spiral . No wonder either with the parents some of them had . A great look at what a bizarre zoo our society has become . Glover was superb as the the manic , fiercely loyal pack leader...

Hoppy cleans up Mesa Grande
Who ever heard of a town called Big Table ?

Uncle Sam drafts guitarist
Good musical comedy with lots and lots of cool song and dance routines . Ann Margret , and Paul Lynde stole the show : Ann with her saucy , sexy good looks and Paul with his usual dour facial expressions and put upon asides . Nobody could make a face like Paul Lynde . All the way through the film I wanted to punch out ...

Barney gets sexy
Typical Knotts wide eyed , who me ? , what's going on here ? , comedy . Fairly amusing throughout with no serious stone left unturned in this ridiculous farce which creates a sex symbol out of a straight arrow , dull , bird watcher . This wouldn't have been as funny using a actor less goofy looking than Knotts .

Dr . Wigand should have kept his own counsel
Big , sweeping story of a man who lets events control him ; wreck his marriage ; totally derail his life . And for what ? Stupid asses who smoke don't already know ' coffin nails ' are hazardous to the health ? I'd have kept my job and let the dummies smoke till it came out their ears . Very good film .

At more than one point I had the killer all figured out only to have my brilliant deductions dashed to bits . In the end I really had my brilliance dashed , what a surprise !

If the real National Guard is as inept as these dumbasses then no enemy need worry about mounting an attack at any time . I spent almost the entire couple of hours rooting for the cajuns to put these morons out of their ignorant misery . Not a bad film , but not a real winner either : there were simply to many holes fo...

He treats them very nicely , wines and dines , asks no special favors . . . . it's just a wager among men . Unfortunately , he is found out and all hell breaks loose . We then see ...

Sexhound runs for the Big Office
This sure played out like a propaganda piece straight from the pen of a solid Clinton backer . Did Stanton really care about people as he let on , or was he cynically snickering up his sleeve while running his tacky game ? Did the little woman stay with him out of sincere feelings or to ride his tails into the White Ho...

One of my all time fave actors played the gun toting thug to the hilt . Also , Ben Johnson was excellent as the obsessive detective dedicated to bringing the hellraising criminal to justice . He did cheat a tad but got the job done with no tears being shed for the hoodlum . Very good action film : I'll never forget the...

Sad film about the sad lives of the ultra rich and the even sadder lives of the ultra poor . Ladd made a good go of it as the strange Gatsby with his hidden desires and odd ways . Barry Sullivan played the part of the vain and ' old money ' snob to perfection . Shelly Winters was possibly the best yet at portraying the...

Many funny surprises come about as the deceased man is confusedly led around ...

Funny / Sad comedy
This may not be an amusing look at the dark side of eating to someone with a disorder but I roared with glee at Don's antics as the frustrated food addict . It was done from a comedy angle of course , but Don's big Chinese binge was a sobering glimpse at how ugly this passion for food can be . Well worth seeing .

To kill or not to kill
You gotta love the limey because he has a mindset that allows no gray area to infiltrate his thinking . Either he gets his wishes or you get a throttling or a gut full of lead . All the bloodletting was possibly unnecessary because what Wilson really wanted was to be informed of the nature of his daughter's death . As ...

Here we have a police officer with a nice little life who just can't leave well enough alone . He is sucked into a crime which involves more than is apparent at first glance . Greed and lust were the motivating factors for all in this sordid look at the uglier side of human nature . Thumbs up .

I sympathized with their 2 children , but could marshal...
