Disturbing Behavior...good little "horror" flick

pettyfan, probably Katie Holmes best movie to date (Batman was a miscast in my opinion) and Nick Stahl was awesome in it.
This movie and "The Faculty" were a cut above some of the others during that timeframe. The first "Final Destination" was entertaining, but they should have stopped there. Though, I do still get freaked if I hear John Denver's 'Rocky Mountain High' on the radio now.
My last 90's movie was the Cindy Mancini fav "Miracle Beach".

SPHERE 1998... great cast, Dustin Hoffman, Liev Schreiber, Sam Jackson etc. Spooky underwater alien stuff! A pretty underated film in my mind, had some truly creepy moments in it!
HARLEY DAVIDSON AND THE MARLBORO MAN 1991... i love this movie, just got the dvd! "It's better to be dead and cool, than alive and uncool".
FIXING THE SHADOW 1992... cool biker flick with Charlie Sheen and Michael Madsen!
STONE COLD 1991... totally cheesy biker action film with Brian Bosworth and Lance Henriksen!

I love this movie also. Big surprise, huh. When they were first about to enter the "spaceship" underwater, the suspense was killing me on what they would find. Great cast as well.

Unforgiven (1992) my favorite western of all time Eastwood, Freeman, and Hackman give unbelievable performances
Almost Heroes (1998) Man I miss Chris Farley
Pulp Fiction (1994) One of Tarentino's best works
Tombstone (1993) my second favorite western of all time
Posted by Sam 'The Made Man' Hain (Member # 3150) on :
I'm finally after all these years becoming a fan of the western genre. I've been starting with some of the older classics but working up to finally seeing both The Unforgiven & Tombstone.
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Sam and Motley, "Tombstone" is an outstanding western. For an older flick, I highly recommend "The Searchers".
Posted by Sam 'The Made Man' Hain (Member # 3150) on :
I just saw The Searchers the other night. I thought the movie overall was really good but felt a few of the acting performances were horrible. Those horrible performances were the reason I gave it an 8 instead of a 9 or 10.

Valley, this movie was the only thing I've ever seen Katie Holmes in that I liked, LOL. I agree...The Faculty was an awesome movie. I haven't seen it in awhile. I liked all the Final Destinations, but to be honest, I think I liked part 2 the best.
Posted by JAYLEE (Member # 6345) on :
LOVE AND A 45... liked it better in the 90's, still... Rory Cochrane is too funny in this!
SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO... man this movie did not age well, but it's still alot of fun, especially when Brandon Lee compliments the size of Dolph Lundgren's "package", that always cracks me up!
RISING SUN... love this movie, great atmosphere. Could have done without Snipes' fancy karate moves in the end though, never thought it fit the film!

Vital Signs, 1990. Bad reviews almost everywhere you look, but I have seen it numerous times and quite enjoy it. Has an 80's feel and Diane Lane is in the prime of her hotness.

That film is quality mate. I aint seen it in ages. Im sure the lad in it was in Moonwalker, He played MJ in the kids version of bad.
Posted by JAYLEE (Member # 6345) on :
Yeah, that was him! It also has AJ Langer, Kelly Jo Minter, Ving Rhames and some other familiar faces in it! I had totally forgotten how great this movie was, total suspense... with all the crawling in the walls stuff!
For those who haven't seen it, WATCH IT!
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
Totally agree with you both on People under the stairs, great stuff! Posted by JAYLEE (Member # 6345) on :
DR. GIGGLES... The retard from LA Law wants to kill the semi hot sister from Charmed... that's about it!
ASPEN EXTREME... excellent Ski instructor drama, however lame that sounds. Nice cast... That canadian mountie guy, Peter Berg, Teri Polo etc. Hadn't watched this since the 90's, It was pretty good!
LITTLE ODESSA... very moody russian mob stuff, with Tim Roth, Eddie Furlong and many more, good movie, that I totally had forgot about!
THE LIMBIC REGION... great atmospheric serial killer TV movie with Edward James Olmos and George Dzundza (0r however you spell that). I had to dig this out of the old forgotten vhs bootleg collection. Minor gripe, takes place in San Fran... but obviously shot in Vancouver or something!
PET CEMETERY 2... another Eddie Furlong flick. Not nearly as good as the first one, but Clancy Brown is always fun!

Yeah, I was actually surprised that I liked more this time! Not into skiing either, but there is just something about it! Has a certain 80's flavor to it as well. Maybe the stuff with Peter Berg getting into drugs and all that, felt a bit forced and rushed, but overall, it's a pretty decent movie.

Just got a bunch of flicks in the mail!
CHILDS PLAY 2 and 3... love them, not as creepy as the first one, but still good fun. Any Chucky movies made after part 3 is crap!
THE HARD WAY... I had totally forgot how funny this film was, Michael J. Fox and James Woods are hilarious in this!
JUDGEMENT NIGHT... great atmospheric chase movie. I usually don't like Dennis leary, but I always loved him in this role, and Jeremy Piven too!
BOOGIE NIGHTS... one of my all time favourite movies, and probably one the best ensemble cast films ever made! there is not one bad performance in this movie, it's totally funny and sad at the same time... and that's hard to do! Listened to the audio comm. And Paul Thomas Anderson started writing it at the age of 17, that's pretty impressive!

Last night I was watching the "Chiller" Channel, and I came in to the middle of the movie...Never Talk to Strangers" with Rebecca Demornay and Antonia Banderas. I wanted to know what happened at the end. I ended up falling asleep.
I want to know if Antonio was the bad guy....if he wasn't.. I want to know who was...and why they were terrorizing Rebecca DeMornay.
I would never rent it to watch it again...but it is bugging me not knowing the end.

I watched Predator 2 (1990). I struggled somewhat with the beginning, because – apart from Danny Glover who simply had to reprise his role of Lethal Weapon and Gary Busey, being his usual self – the acting was pretty bad. Bill Paxton was even more annoying than he was in Weird Science. Anyway, from the second half on this movie was actually pretty good, packed with action and even funny at times. Overall, I really liked it. I give it a 7/10.

Nuns on the Run.... A very funny movie from 1990. 2 men who are in organized crime are on the run from their boss who is trying to kill them. They stumble upon a convent and disguise themselves as nuns to hide out. A little slow at the start, but gets very funny later on. I recommend a watch.

I just got done watching Sleeping with the Enemy.
I remember when it came out, I thought that the 90's had some hope for some decent movies.
I always like the scene where they dance to "Brown-Eyed Girl."
I always thought the woman who played her mother was too old to be her mother...she looked 80 in the movie, and Julia looked about 23. That meant she would have had to have had her at age 57. That didn't seem too realtistic.
I love the house that Julia gets in the movie, it reminds me alot of my own house.

- Rodney Dangerfield stars in this family comedy. Some good lines here by Rodney. Sad to find out that other star Jonathan Brandis has died in 2003, even before Rodney. Vinessa Shaw´s career seems to be going up.

Trees Lounge, starring Steve Buscemi, who also wrote and directed. It really wasn't all that great, but there were a lot of stars in it that had small roles- Mimi Rodgers, Daniel Baldwin, Cloe Sevigny, Carol Kane and Mark Boone (I think that's his name) who is now on Sons of Anarchy (he plays Bobby Elvis).

Dumb and Dumber - By far my favourite Jim Carrey film Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER 1999
Im not big on Travolta, but this is a really decent movie, that I watch regularly! good characters, good dialogue (probably cuz it's based on the book), great unorthodox score and really good cinematography.
I have an immense distaste for rape scenes, but it is so poignant and hardhitting here, that the movie would suffer if it wasn't shown as the truly brutal act that it is. It is the focal point of the whole story, and I think that the movie deals with it in a smart, yet disturbing way. Highly recommended.

My brother gave me a copy of this a while ago and I hadn't gotten around to watch it. After I heard the hype here, I had to pop it in last night. It was a very odd movie, but entertaining. It did however take me a while to get into to, but it picked up nicely after about 1/2 hour. David Della Rocco's character as "Funny Man", was the best part of this entire movie. He stole the show for me and cracked me up with some of his quotes..... wish I could post more of them, but they're pretty bad.

For some inexplicable reason, one of my favourite movies from the 90's! Fun road movie, directed by Dennis Hopper.

I do enjoy DeNiro's role a lot, and the shootout scene after the bank robbery is great. Somehow, Pacino's performance seems so over-the-top, and I don't care for the trilogy of romantic sideplots involving DeNiro, Pacino, and Val Kilmer's characters.
The supporting cast is talented - Jon Voight, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Natalie Portman, Dennis Haysbert, William Fitcher, Amy Brenneman, Ashley Judd, and Hank Azaria. Additionally, I've enjoyed a lot of Michael Mann's directorial work, such as The Insider, Manhunter, and Collateral, but this one is a bit of a letdown to me.
I'd rather watch Copland, Goodfellas, Casino, The Insider, Mean Streets, or even The Score instead.
Posted by 80'sRocked (Member # 6979) on :
The shootout scene in Heat is one of the best ever I think. Copland never gets enough credit and The Score is a guilty pleasure of mine. Most people I talk to don't think much of either.
I also like Sliver alot.

Great trio of movies Jay Lee. The place I bought from had Stone Cold priced higher than Beyond the Law which suprised me. I got Beyond the Law, Stone Cold, Judgment Night, and Wanted Dead or Alive for like $28.......

Point of No Return (1993)
- This is a remake of a French classic Nikita (1990) Good, violent action flick with great actors. Bridget Fonda, Gabriel Byrne, Dermot Mulroney etc. Harvey Keitel is great in a small role as Victor the Cleaner. Good score by one of my favorites Hans Zimmer.

Notting Hill (1999). Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts correspondingly portray a down-on-his-luck travel bookshop owner and a world-famous actor who meet and fall in love when she walks into his bookshop. They could end up together -- if the gossip-hungry press to say nothing of her actor boyfriend don't get in the way.

Jurassic Park... I love Spielberg (for the most part) But the two kids, and my dislike for Sam Neill and Laura Dern kinda killed this movie for me! When I was younger, I couldn't put my finger on what it was, now I know!
It's not a bad movie, and Goldblum is god in my book! The cgi is still pretty impressive to this day, and it has a lot of good scenes.
If they had replaced the two leads, and axed the kids, I would enjoy this movie a lot more!

Oh, and SINGLES... I was never into grunge or that Seattle sound or look! And to be honest, I hated those flannel wearing, coffee drinking, poetry reading, chin pubes sporting, hipster types, with their oh so alternative views and opinions. Yes, we had them here too!
I recognize Cameron Crowes talent, but this movie was lost on me in '93, and lost on me now!

CHILL FACTOR-1999....
Bad writing, bad dialogue, bad acting...... why was this movie made???
Skeet Ulrich and Cuba Gooding have no chemistry, and not much to work with here!
On a side note.... Skeet, Cuba... what happened???
Skeet was prepped to be the new Brad Pitt or something, then he just dissapeared! I last saw him on that show Jericho, which was also cancelled, if I remenber correctly! Poor little Skeet!
And Cuba.... I never thought that he was that good of an actor, certainly not Oscar worthy, but he took the statue for Jerry Maguire, none the less! And then it was all down hill from there... Rat Race... Snow Dogs... Boat Trip... DADDY ****ING DAY CAMP!!!! Wouldn't hold my breath for another Oscar there, Cuba...!
Just my observations...

Posted by journey (Member # 7316) on :
I hadn't seen this one since it played on HBO during its initial run. It still holds up as a fun-on-the-slopes romp with a definite '80s vibe. If you've seen Hot Dog or Snowballing (or even 2001's Out Cold), then it's all familiar territory.

Untamed Heart (1993). Marissa Tomei is a waitress who has experienced more than her fair share of rotten luck in love, as she can't keep a boyfriend. Going home from work one night, she is subjected to a rape attempt by two idiots in the park, but is rescued by shy, awkward, well-meaning orphaned Christian Slater, who is employed as a waiter's assistant at her workplace, Jim's Bakery and Coffee Shop. They fall in love, but he has a congenital heart ailment. Rosie Perez, Kyle Secor and Willie Carson feature in addition. Incidentally, I have read that this was one of Rachel Scott's esteemed films.

Do you mean the Mickey Rourke/Tupac movie? Cuz that is a really underrated flick IMO.
Posted by There'll be no morning for us (Member # 5804) on :
Yes Posted by journey (Member # 7316) on :
A solid little mystery/thriller that I had completely forgotten about. They seemed to do these neo-noir/Hitchcoockian thrillers really well in the '90s. Final Analysis and Blink were two other good ones from the same period. I took most of these for granted at the time, but now with the relative dearth of decent mystery/suspense films coming out of Hollywood, I'm really rediscovering some of these forgotten gems.

If you liked that, then you might like another underrated 90's Rourke flick, F.T.W.from 1994, also featuring John Enos III, who played Lester the latent homosexual thug in Bullet, plus Lori Singer and Peter Berg! I really like this movie.
Posted by There'll be no morning for us (Member # 5804) on :
I watched that the day after Bullet. I've been picking a lot of his films up. I always hear people saying he didn't make anything decent in the 90's but these 2 were pretty good. I also like Desperate Hours. I did watch a couple of stinkers recently too tho, Shades and Out In Fifty.
Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
Those people need to brush up on their movie knowledge a bit.... I submit to them...
Desperate Hours: A great remake, and I almost never say that!
Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man: Kickass action flick with a funny twist!
The Last Outlaw: Dark and bloody western, with a great cast!
F.T.W.: Dusty, dirty, emotional semi road movie with some beautiful locations and good performances.
Bullet: Dark, sad street reality, with tragic characters, but brilliantly done.
True... the late 90's were no friend to the mickster, but those flicks mentioned above, all hold up today!

SPEEED..... '94: Oh man, this movie was worse than I remembered! The dialogue is so bad, all the characters are so annoying, and I just hoped the bus would crash and kill all those whiners in a heap of twisted metal and fiery gore! Of course that didn't happen.
HIGHER LEARNING.... '95: If your making a movie against racism and racial stereotypes, it would probably be a good idea, not to perpetuate those lame stereotypes in said movie! Singleton got lucky with Boyz N' The Hood, and hasn't done anything worthwhile since. This pile of a movie being one of the main offenders. They are all here... the angry black guy, the hippie chick, the misguided hick, the wise professor, the dateraping jock etc. If these tired clicheés actually had some form of transformation or depth, then I could go along with it... but they really don't. And the message of this movie is completely lost!

That's right folks, hands down THE worst movie ever made!!!!! Forget Plan 9 From Outer Space, forget Showgirls, forget Battlefield Earth!

You owe yourself to watch this stinking clunker of cataclysmic proportions at least once in your life!

Atomik I love this movie! It's an honorary 80's flick to me. I loved it back then because of Staci Keanan of My Two Dads fame. I recently found it on VHS at it was just as great as I remembered.

Empire Records. I think I watched this one 15 years too late. I didn't really like it. Renee Zelwiger (sp.?) was annoying as usual, but not quite as ugly as she is now. What has she done to her face? My husband said she looks like she sucked on a lemon- we just watched a newer movie she was in, Appaloosa, and she looked horrible! And her "singing" was awful in Empire Rec. too.

I think you're right about watching it too late! This movie is so inherently 90's, as Valley Girl is 80's! I watched it back in '95,loved it, and can therefor watch it again and again, due to the nostalgia factor. But if I watched it for the first time today, I doubt it would have the same effect. Some movies are like that, and some are timeless classics.

This is a movie I loved when I was a kid. It's a sweet and sometimes sad movie set in the 1930's about a teenage girl who runs away from home to become a diving girl. Oh, and Michael Schoeffling (Jake Ryan) is in it too.

Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
Was cleaning out my closet, and throwing piles of old VHS tapes out, but stumbled upon a few golden oldies, that I haven't got on dvd yet. Man, I had totally forgotten about half of these movies. So I watched some of them this weekend and yesterday.
MATINEÉ 1993
I love this this movie! love the southern Florida setting, the genuine 50's feel, the classic B-movie references. And tying in the very real nuclear scare with the scare of monster B-movies is a great premise. If you haven't seen this, check it out!
TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS 1990
For some reason, the title on the tape said FILOFAX?? I guess that was an alternate title. But anywhooo, this movie was a lot of fun! Always liked Belushi, but was never a fan of Charles Grodin. He seems unlikable to me, no matter what role he plays. But when he is suppose to be, it fares a little better.
BRAIN DONORS 1992
An obvious attempt to make a modern day Marx Brothers comedy. And it is actually pretty funny. I have to admit that I found it funnier in the 90's. But it still has a lot of laughs. Great performances by John Turturro and Mel Smith!
Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
And I found my old tape of Angel Town and Perfect Weapon, that was so worn out, that I really hope they will be released on DVD. Angel Town had a limited release, but is now up to 173 bucks on Amazon, due to its rarity. And Perfect Weapon I have not been able to find! Two great old, cheesy Martial Arts classics!
ANGEL TOWN 1990
PERFECT WEAPON 1991
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Good stuff JAY LEE! Matinee is great, Joe Dante always delivers. I really need Angel Town and The Perfect Weapon dvd´s too!
Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
Yeah, a lot of older movies off the mainstream grid are not getting their proper respect!
Yesterday I watched these...
LOVE AND A 45 1994
I can't stand Rene Zellweger, but she's not too bad here. I belive this was made before Natural Born Killers, and is in the same vein. But I prefer this one. Don't know if it is out on DVD yet.
DEAD PRESIDENTS 1995
The Hughes brothers Vietnam/coming home/ode to blaxplitation epic! A great movie, but not without its flaws.
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Dead Presidents is almost a classic IMO, but i remember that it drags a little bit during the middle of the movie.
Never seen Love and a .45. Sounds interesting. R1 dvd is available:
Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
Cool, I will def pick that up! You should check it out, it's well worth it!
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Yeah, i think that i´ll buy it. Zellweger seems to be one of those, who pick interesting roles early in career, but play it so safe later on that everyone loses interest.
Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
Yeah, I liked her way better in the early to mid 90's. Like this or Empire Records. Think she had a small role in Dazed And Confused, If I remember correctly. And speaking of D&C, Both Wiley Wiggins (Mitch Cramer) and Rory Cochrane (Slater) from that movie appears in Love And A 45. They had a whole little film fraternity thing going down there in Texas in the early to mid 90's.

Affirmitive, Jay Lee, Renee Zellweger was in "Dazed And Confused." Depending on what you read, it was either Nesi White or the girl in the blue pick-up truck. Her role was uncredited, by the way.

Friday the 13th Jason Goes to Hell,not a bad effort for the time and not the worst in the series. The only real thing wrong with it is the Jason in it does not look much good this time which is a shame because Kane Hodder was one of my favorites playing him.But overall not a bad film.

Everytime I watch this movie, it brings home exactly how lazy Tarantino has become over the years.

I had actually written this movie off, in my mind. But watched it on tv last night, and it was a lot better than I remembered. Sure, some of the effects were pretty hoakey looking (especially on an HD channel), those reddish rear projection shots of Mars weren't fooling anybody, and some of the sets looked like a bad episode of Dr. Who. But all in all, a lot of fun.

Donnie Brasco (1997) Ewww, Tom Cruise was originally slated to play the role of Donnie Brasco. I probably would not have wanted to see it. Johnny Depp was excellent, along with Al Pacino. I forgot about alot of the other character actors in this movie, like Paul Giamatti, Tim Blake Nelson,and that Zeljko guy.

Ronnie.. "Popcorn" was a great horror movie! Unfortunately, I think the cute name kept audiences away.
Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
I loved the name, and i liked the whole film festival idea, the makeup effects were pretty cool, I just wasn't fond of the music numbers haha. Loved the mosquito prop!
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Ronnie.. are you not into Reggae Horror movies?
"Popcorn" was filmed in Kingston, Jamaica which I always thought was a bit odd, but hey.. maybe that was how they paid the actors.
"Come died in Jamaica Mon.. no machete, no problem!"
I loved the 3-D mosquito!
This movie also had Kelly Jo Minter from the movie "Summmer School", but Jill Schoelen is the main reason that I enjoy it so much.
Wanna watch "The Possessor" tonight?
Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :
well then that would explain the music! didn't know where it was filmed, thanks for the trivia haha.
i loved seeing all the recognizable actors ...Dee Wallace, who always plays the star's mother in a lot of horror movies... the girl from Summer School, as you mentioned. She was also in House Party lol..the guy from One Crazy Summer who plays Bobcat's brother.. I remember him having a small role in My Girl as a hippie.

I've been having a bad time lately with starting movies, but not watching them to the end. I just get distracted too easily. The last 90's flick I was able to watcj from beginning to end was:
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991):
If you're a Godzilla fan like I am, how is it even possible to tear yourself away from this beauty? This is perhaps the most action-packed and entertaining Godzilla movie in the whole franchise. The fight scenes and destruction is awesome! And this is the film where we're fisrt introduced to Mecha-King Ghidorah. So hands down, there's plenty of action in this film to keep one entertained until the end. And it also happens to have a pretty good storyline that gives some backstory to the origins of Godzilla. Overall, this is simply a must-have for any Godzilla fanatics.

More Cannon cheese for sure, but Dacascos is the man! He doubled for more or less everyone in this flick. Sometimes even fighting himself, thanks to editing! If any american MA actor deserved more credit, then it's Mark Dacascos.

All those titles just rock big time. I watched drive when it first came out and it was nice to see a mix of jackie chan/van damme/sho kosugi mixed into one actor. Im not a huge fan of (now please forgive spelling) capuwhera that he has shown he can do in other movies.

Since you like American Samurai, as mentioned above..then I'm pretty sure you'll love this little beauty too..if you've not seen it already that is.

Too Young to Die? (1990)
Too Young to Die? is a 1990 television movie starring Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis. It touches on the debate concerning the death penalty. It is based on a true story.
The film is loosely based on Attina Marie Cannaday, who along with David Gray and Dawn Bushart, killed Ronald Wojcik, in Harrison County, Mississippi on June 3, 1982.
Juliette Lewis was very good in this, she was just 17 when this was filmed. Brad Pitt was solid as the sleazy Billy Canton. Decent movie but it really tells just one side of the story.
I hate the finnish dvd cover art where Juliette holds a gun. She doesn´t have a gun in this flick Here´s the french dvd cover:

I like my cheese.... especially my martial arts cheese, but this was pretty damn dire, to say the least! So cheap it hurts, laughable acting and dialogue, and the most ridulous villains i've ever seen. The only saving grace was Tang Tak Wing as the kung fu master. He also directed the action scenes, which as a result, came out above average for an american MA flick. But as a whole, this was close to unwatchable. I couldn't even laugh at its awfulness, which is an important factor with these kinds of movies.

Awful movie. I can't understand why it has as much as 6.1/10 on IMDb. Much less can I understand why, on top of that, everyone calls it "underrated". Overlooked, perhaps. But as it stands I would personally call it overrated. Way overrated.
I'm not sure what was worse. The acting, the script, or the special effects? It was pretty bad through-and-through. And I even like Charlie Sheen. His performance here was as awful as the movie itself, though.

Posted by JAY LEE (Member # 6345) on :
Recently watched three of the rather dubious "superhero" flicks from the 90's. And while they may not have had the budgets or CGI technology of more recent efforts of that genre, I kinda liked them. They are not GREAT movies, but certainly entertaining, and with that nostalgic old school feel, that you just don't get from the newer films!
THE SHADOW- 1994
My favourite of the three. Baldwin is good, the 1930's period setting works, and the villain is pretty cool.
THE PHANTOM- 1996
In the cheesier end of the scale, we find The Phantom! Billy Zane in purple, junkhugging tights, no less! Again 1930's something period piece. Lacks some of the cool style of The Shadow, but with Treat Williams and Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa on villain duty, it comes out all right.
SPAWN- 1997
Captures the dark and disturbing world of Todd McFarlanes comic pretty well. Michael Jai White is good as Spawn, and John Leguizamo is fun as Clown! Nice visual style, though some of the effects show their age, and it's a bit heavy on the one liners.

The Temp (1992)

OK..so I finished watching Two Hands. It wasn't too bad...It didn't blow me away either though. The actors all gave good performances..especially Rose Byrne who I'd say caught my attention the most. But, I just didn't buy into her and Ledger's relationship...I dunno, they came off as more brother/sister type deal to me. Maybe that's how it was supposed to be though huh? I was kinda disappointed with Bryon Brown's role though as I felt he came off a bit weaker than he should have been. But maybe that's just me.
I also really dug the ending when the kid just strolls in the joint and passes Ledger and enters the room and......welll...you know what happens...I won't spoil it for anyone else. That was a rather cool ending.
So overall, this movie was alright...But I wouldn't rank it in my top 10 action/gangster films.

Yeah, you should have got both! I also have Dream Machine, it´s a pretty good flick if you happen to like these early 90s Haimster films.

A decent thriller. I am a big fan. I won't go out and say it's great. I just like it for many reasons. I think it is definitely worth a watch.

Wild at heart - I ****ing loved this It seemed a bit too normal for Lynch at first lol but then got crazier. My second fave so far behind Blue Velvet. Nicolas Cage was as awesome as in Raising Arizona in this. Thanks for the recommendation Jay and Crash I've got Lost Highway, The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire on the way. Can't wait to watch them.

Dead On: Relentless II (1992)
This was a decent direct to video sequel.
L.A. Detective Sam Dietz (Leo Rossi), struggling to emotionally survive his previous big case (from in the first Relentless film) is unwillingly paired with a shady FBI agent Kyle Valsone (Ray Sharkey), during a case tracking another serial killer (Miles O'Keeffe), who kills seemingly at random. Meanwhile, Dietz's wife Carol (Meg Foster) now estranged from him due to his long hours, tries to deal with her current situation and their uncertain future. (Wikipedia)
It was nice to see Sharkey and O´Keeffe and i liked the fact that most supporting actors reprised their roles.
Relentless parts 3 & 4 are available on dvd as a double feature so i gotta get that and see how this Dietz saga ends.

Airbourne (1993):
I think it's safe to say most people on this planet have seen this one at least once...and if you haven't...what the hell are you waiting for? In describing this movie, the easiest most conveniant definition would be that it's quite simple the RAD of the 90's for rollerbladers. It's a good teen family flick that everyone can enjoy. But for me, the highlight is easily Seth Green...
Green is so funny in this that even after a crappy day, I somehow have a smile on my face after watching him in this movie. So yeah, if you have not seen this one..I highly recommend checking it out for good clean family night fun.

I re-watched Roger Corman's "Frankenstein Unbound" (1990), which a lot of folks hate and some really love. Put me down in the latter category. While not a perfect film, it's a thoughtful, well-done film version of an excellent book. It is quintessential Roger Corman and particularly entertaining if you seen at least a couple of the Corman Poe films. Killer cast: John Hurt, Raul Julia, Bridget Fonda, Michael Hutchence, and Jason Patric.

Thanks for the heads up about North Face. I'll definitely check it out. I love these kind of movies. They give you a rush. I like Cliffhanger also due to the awesomeness of how the movie sounds through my home theatre system. Sometimes the sound can make a major difference, not enough to redeem a bad movie but a difference all the same.

Not only is the bulk of his work produced by Roger Corman. But Don himself has to be the worst actor and screenfighter in the history of movies!

It follows a bus tour guide in New York city (Timothy 'Speed' Levitch) for 2 hours. A great insight into how many intellectuals and extraordinary people go unnoticed. The amount of knowledge that this guy has is more than extremely impressive. Speed is a very prolific thinker, that's for sure. He has many deep views including philosophical, sociological and metaphorical.
I highly recommend this for anyone who has not seen it. It was shot in black and white mainly due to film costs and not to appear artistic, but it is arty anyway.

Boogie Nights and Magnolia are classics. Punch-Drunk Love is a good movie too. Haven´t seen Hard Eight/There Will Be Blood.

I didn't think much of There will Be Blood. I thought it was pretty boring, and I am a big Daniel Day Lewis fan.

Internal Affairs (1990)
Watched this entertaining crime film late last night, the movie was directed by Mike Figgis. The story builds the tension nicely but is very predictable. Richard Gere is a cool bad cop and Andy Garcia tries to catch him. Laurie Metcalf, Nancy Travis and Faye Grant (V- the series) lead the beautiful female cast.
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
Great flick Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Forgot to mention that a little boy called Elijah Wood was also in this one It was his second movie role, the first one was "video game boy" in Back to the Future II
Not bad films to start your career.
Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
I like "Internal Affairs" too. Gere is really good in a rare bad-guy role, and Andy Garcia is always good. Figgis is an interesting director who does a lot of arty stuff with the occassional commercial thing thrown in. I like his work. "Timecode" (2000), the film with four plots going on at once in different quadrants of the screen, is pretty cool.

I bought this film in small DVD shop. Loved in VHS format as a rental. Even glad that it's part of my library now.
Cadence is a 1990 film directed by (and starring) Martin Sheen, in which Charlie Sheen plays an inmate in a United States Army stockade in West Germany during the 1960s. Sheen plays alongside his father Martin Sheen and brother Ramon Estevez. The film is based on a novel by Gordon Weaver.
Pfc. Franklin Bean (Charlie Sheen) gets drunk and strikes an MP after the death of his father. As punishment, he is thrown into a stockade populated entirely by black inmates. But instead of giving into racism, Bean joins forces with his fellow inmates and rises up against the bigoted prison warden, MSgt. Otis McKinney (Martin Sheen).

It was again written and directed by Kevin Tenney. Starring Ami Dolenz, Christopher Michael Moore, Timothy Gibbs, Laraine Newman and Julie Michaels.
This was more like a mystery thriller with some horror elements but it was an entertaining film. Some nice camera tricks and solid acting.
Ami Dolenz was supercute and Julie Michaels was also pretty hot as the evil spirit. It was also nice to see Todd Allen in a cameo as a garbageman.
Now I need to watch Infested aka Ticks (also 1993) again someday because i totally forgot that Dolenz was also in that one.

Feeling guilty, Clay now resists the widow when she presses him to continue with their affair as if nothing has happened.
Clay's problems worsen when he inadvertently befriends a serial killer named Lester Long (Vince Vaughn), who murders the nagging widow in an attempt to "help" his "fishing buddy." Clay is horrified, but does not go to the police for fear of his role in his friend's suicide coming to light. But that doesn't matter for the police, as well as for a savvy female FBI agent (Janeane Garofalo) and her partner (Phil Morris), who see Clay as their prime suspect. Yet Clay doesn't tell them of his "friend," who has confessed his crimes to him.

Naked Obsession (1991):
Score!!!...Just bought this little beauty at a garage sale for $1...sure, it's a VHS, but it surprisingly works good. This is a nice little erotic/thriller B-flick starring William Katt as a decent politician corrupted by the evils of sex, lust, and strippers. Yup, that's a good enough synopsis for me. Oh yeah, there's some kind of murder/mystery thrown in there somewhere too.

The film is set in New York City, particularly in Manhattan and Queens, with scenes taking place on the New York City Subway and within John F. Kennedy International Airport. Times Square, the Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty are also briefly seen.
Quick Change is the only directorial credit of Bill Murray's career.
Grimm, dressed as a clown, robs a bank in midtown Manhattan. He ingeniously sets up a hostage situation and then slips away with an enormous sum of money.

"A medical school dropout loses his fiancée in a tragic lawnmower incident, and decides to bring her back. Unfortunately, he was only able to save her head, so he goes to the red light district in the city and lures prostitutes into a hotel room so he can get parts for his girlfriend." (IMDb)
This was even more entertaining than i remembered! The film was directed by Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case, Brain Damage) James Lorinz is cool as Jeffrey "Jersey boy" Franken and i love Patty Mullen as Elizabeth Shelley. So sad that this was her last role. I also loved the interview and making of features.
Lots of funny scenes, beautiful women and cool special effects. Cult classic!
Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
"Wanna date? Wanna party?" "Frankenhooker" is very funny. (Favorite line: "I'm becoming dangerously amoral.") I don't have the special edition with the extras, but I'm sure, aTomiK, that Hennenlotter somewhere mentions the phone call he received from the U.S. ratings board: "Your movie should be rated 'S for sh**.'" Henennlotter makes really sick and funny movies. Check out his newest, "Bad Biology." It's completely unhinged and even crazier than "Brain Damage," another favorite.
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Maybe he says that line in the commentary track but i haven´t checked it. What they said was that the ratings board gave the movie "the eagle eye" so no gore & blood and that´s what the sfx group tried to avoid and did it well.

Aspen Extreme (1993)
"Aspen Extreme is a 1993 film about two ski buddies, TJ Burke (Paul Gross) and Dexter Rutecki (Peter Berg), who move from Brighton, Michigan to Aspen to seek a better life. The two friends quickly become Aspen ski instructors, but women, drugs, and job troubles threaten to destroy their relationship. Along the way, TJ tries to realize his dream of becoming a professional writer, and the pair train for the upcoming Powder 8 ski competition." (Wikipedia)
This was a good ski drama written and directed by Patrick Hasburgh, the dude who created 21 Jump Street with Stephen J. Cannell. Starring Paul Gross, Peter Berg, Finola Hughes and Teri Polo.
Even though i'm not much of a fan of William Baldwin, (or any of the Baldwins for that matter), I can still tolerate him in this film. The reason is mainly because it's just a good all-around erotic/suspense flick. Not quite up to par with the novel it's based off of, but hey, what novel based film is? And might I add I think Sharon Stone is still pretty damn hot in this and quite good at playing the quiet, timid damsel with a sheltered wild side. So yeah, I still like this movie and I think other fans of this particular genre would agree. And if you haven't seen..I can certainly recommend.

i watched la setta 1991 aka the sect directed by michele soavi and written by dario argento.
starring kelly curtis and herbert lom ,it's a decent early 90s italian horror outing from the director of the excellent stagefright(1987) which is based on a devil worshipping cult in frankfurt germany .
to be honest i did not think this was quite up to the high standards of michele soavi's previous directorial outings stagefright and the church but i still found a lot here to like.
the plot was completely bonkers and there's some real strange scenes here - the rabbit changing channels on the tv using the remote control,plus kelly curtis being attacked by some weird emu type bird
i did like the music score by pino donaggio ,plus it was cool to see the pink panthers herbert lom on the screen again.
overall no classic but still an above average italian horror flick!

I think that The Sect is the weakest Soavi film. Delamore Delamorte, my favorite, is brilliant. Martin Scorsese loves it too. Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
i've heard so many good things about delamore delamorte but never got round to seeing it,i will definitely track it down.
i've only seen stagefright,the church and the sect and the sect is easily the weakest of the 3,from what i've heard delamore delamorte is soavi's masterpiece and i would imagine the sect is vastly inferior to it.
but still overall i found the sect to be watchable enough but yes disappointing when compared to his other works.

It was surprisingly good 90s Cannon flick. Chuck Norris is the only guy from the first movie and he´s still awesome. Billy Drago is once again fantastic as evil drug lord Ramon Cota. One of the meanest villains i´ve ever seen. John P. Ryan (Avenging Force) gives a hilarious perfomance as Gen. Taylor. Gotta love this guy! Lots of explosions, nasty kills and mindblowing helicopter action.
"A terrorist places an atom bomb somewhere in an American metropolis. The president of the U.S. has no other choice; he has to call Delta Force. (IMDb)
Once again i have to say that this was a surprisingly good 90s Cannon film. Delta Force 2 was basically Chuck Norris solo but this is more of a team effort. Starring "the next generation" guys: Nick Cassavetes (The Wraith), Mike Norris ( Born American , Survival Game) , Eric Douglas plus Matthew Penn, John Ryan and cute Hana Azoulay-Hasfari.

The sequel to Future Force staring David Carradine as a cop on commission, (they are paid by the job, like a Bounty Hunter), and this time his son comes back thirty years from the future to save him. In that regard the story is very much like Terminator 2. It's low budget, has hammy acting, a cheesy storyline and ridiculous stunts. And that's not even the best bit. There is a robotic glove David Carradine's character John Tucker puts on that gives him the ability to shoot lasers, and, the glove can fly.
If you like an action/science fiction cheese fest, this might be for you.

1999's "Wild Wild West" starring Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh & Salma Hayek. Godawful update of the 60s TV series, with Smith himself admitting that he regretted taking part in this production.

Night Eyes (1990)
"A security guard (Night Eyes security) is hired to gather evidence of adultery against the wife of the rock star and ends up getting involved with her." (IMDb)
This was a decent erotic thriller directed by Jag Mundhra who did lots of similiar stuff back in the early 90s. The movie stars the board favorite Andrew Stevens (who also co-wrote the film), Tanya Roberts, Cooper Huckabee, Warwick Sims, Yvette Buchanan and Karen Elise Baldwin.
I liked the atmosphere and the mansion Tanya Roberts lives. There´s also one ultra steamy Roberts/Stevens love scene and a character called Muffy
I would like to get the three sequels someday.

The Double 0 Kid (1992)
Haha, this was a fun and silly family/adventure flick.
"17-year-old Lance Elliot is a summer intern at the Agency. His fantasies of espionage and intrigue turn real when he's ordered to rush a package to L.A. A madman millionaire computer virus designer and his icy henchwoman want that package. It's key to their plot to destroy the environment. Lance stays one step ahead of them, trying to avoid a visit to their "video-game-of-doom" room. (Wikipedia)
The movie stars Corey Haim, Nicole Eggert, Brigitte Nielsen, Wallace Shawn, John Rhys-Davies, Basil Hoffman and Karen Black. Haim and Eggert keep their clothes on this time and Nielsen looks great.
LA street scenes, evil rollerskate gang, fake alligator and a squirtgun flamethrower plus two cool aor tunes on the soundtrack. Stupid fun.

Once Upon a Crime... (1992)
Pretty average ensemble comedy directed by Eugene Levy. Starring John Candy, James Belushi, Cybill Shepherd, Sean Young, Richard Lewis, Ornella Muti, Giancarlo Giannini and George Hamilton. I didn´t laugh once but John Candy was good and had the best lines.
Anyone know what was behind this "France craze" american directors and actors had in the late 80s-early 90s?

To Sleep with a Vampire (1993)
This was a cool, stylish and sexy low-budget vampire flick. The movies stars Scott Valentine ( My Demon Lover ) and one of the hottest girls ever on film, Charlie Spradling ( Ski School, Meridian etc. ) Yes, the film has it´s problems with the dialogue and it drags a bit but i like the atmosphere and love Spradling.
It seems that this is a remake of a movie called Dance of the Damned (1989) which i haven´t seen.
"Deep Rising" from 1998, featuring the likes of Treat Williams, Famke Janssen, Kevin J. O'Connor, Wes Studi, Jason Flemyng, Cliff Curtis & Djimon Hounsou. This film was directed by Stephen Sommers, just a year before "The Mummy" came out.

Maxwell Caulfield as a superhero? Well, sort of.
"When his wife and son are brutally murdered by a fugitive drug lord that he helped put behind bars, former Special Ops agent Derek Leigh vows to avenge their deaths. After mastering lethal fighting skills at the hands of a martial arts instructor, he assumes the identity of The Jaguar - a vigilante superhero from his son's drawings - and with nothing more to lose, sets out on a fierce, one-man blood hunt to bring the criminals to final justice. (IMDb)
Ultracheesy but entertaining action flick directed by one of the b-meisters, David DeCoteau. The cast is ok: Maxwell Caulfield, Trevor Goddard, Linda Blair, Randall Bentley, Stacy Keach, Paul Bartel and Fiona Hutchison.
Yes, lots of cheesy acting and action but where´s the eggs and ham? (read: no nudity or love scenes in this one)

"Kevin Laird is a Beverly Hills school teacher by day and a mystery man by night. Using his lambada dance moves to first earn the kid's respect and acceptance, Kevin then teaches them academics. But when a jealous student exposes Kevin's double life, his two worlds collide, threatening his job and reputation." (IMDb)
Lambada is a decent Cannon International dance film directed by Joel Silberg (Breakin' etc.) The movie stars J. Eddie Peck (Dangerously Close), very pretty Melora Hardin (Iron Eagle), Adolfo Quinones (Ozone from the Breakin' films) and funny Ricky Paull Goldin.
Obviously this movie didn´t have a very big budget, the "No Man´s Land" dance club is kinda small but it includes a cool police car hanging from the ceiling! The choreographies are pretty lame but the soundtrack is alright with some familiar names like Brenda K. Starr, Tony Terry and Sweet Obsession.

Escape from L.A. (1996)
Ha, i didn´t remember that this was set in 2013 so it was a perfect time to re-watch the movie. It´s stupid and fun, tongue in cheek, over the top sequel and i love it.
The mid-90s computer sfx looks pretty bad at times but that´s just part of the charm. The cast is great and the score rocks.
Not a classic like the original but you have to remember that this was the 90s
"Mark Cahill is a good family man with a loving wife and two wonderful children. Mark also happens to be a hit man who is haunted by his last victim, a blonde, who keeps appearing in his bedroom at the worst of times. His life becomes even more complicated when he becomes caught up in the schemes of two business partners, one of the partner's spouse and her boyfriend(s)." (IMDb)
This was a good Canadian erotic thriller directed by Gail Harvey. The movie stars Ben Cross, Shannon Tweed, Adam Baldwin, Dave Thomas, Henry Czerny and Lenore Zann.
Interesting story, good cast and steamy love scenes.

"End of Days" (1999) with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gabriel Byrne and Robin Tunney.
A depressed alcoholic cop (Schwarzenegger) must protect a young woman (Tunney) who will become Satan's (Byrne) new bride.
A very terrible horror thriller film with bad acting, an overblown story and not that much scares coming from director Peter Hyams.

"A serial killer is terrorizing a small college town. When a student begins to have psychic visions of the killer with clues as to who he is, he gives this information to the police - only to find that he himself is suspected of committing the murders." (IMDb)
This was a cool little thriller directed by George Mihalka (Pinball Summer, My Bloody Valentine). The movie stars Zach Galligan, Catherine Mary Stewart, Michael Nouri and Albert Schultz.
Galligan was very good, he and CMS had a great chemistry. The story is typical and the ending seemed a bit rushed but i liked this one.
"Four Rooms" (1995). Aside from pretty good segments by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, the whole affair was a complete letdown especially from the first part of the movie with the coven of witches.
All-star cast led by Tim Roth also includes Antonio Banderas, Jennifer Beals, Valeria Golino, Madonna, Ione Skye, Lili Taylor, Marisa Tomei, Tamlyn Tomita and Bruce Willis in an uncredited role.

A Slightly above average coming of age/teen movie from the 90's that I'm pretty sure most here should have seen already. With a good cast of characters and among one of the better 90's soundtracks, This is definitely one that can still give me that warm and fuzzy nostalgic 90's feeling whenever I watch.

Hard To Kill (1990)
It can easily be considered an 80's movie, since its US release-date was february 1990.. but hey, i hardly ever post anything in the 90's section on this site, so here it is !
I thought it was a decent early effort from Seagal. Pretty entertaining when you're in the mood for this kind of stuff.

PAST MIDNIGHT (1991)
This somewhat erotic mystery thriller starring Rutger Hauer and Natasha Richardson is fun, but not great. Clancy Brown is always good and what happens to him is pretty wild. Quentin Tarantino allegedly re-wrote some of the script and is an associate producer. The setting of Washington state is beautiful and it's always raining. I first saw this on VHS back in 92? I always remembered it and was glad to see it again. 7/10 just for setting, actors, and time period.

"Butler is an experienced car thief, McCoy a struggling reporter trying to nail a bad guy-senator. Meeting for the first time when they're both in dire need of air transportation, they team up long enough for Butler to steal a car with a very special piece of luggage in the trunk, and all hell breaks loose. Suddenly they're chased by both sides of the law, and who can tell which is which?" (IMDb)
This was a decent action film written and directed by Alex Wright. Starring Yancy Butler, Matt McCoy, John Ashton and Trevor Goddard.
Surprisingly violent and good action sequences and Yancy Butler sure is easy on the eyes. McCoy was a bit too nerdy though and why do i see George "Buck" Flower in every other film i watch

Unlawful Entry (1992)
A nice underrated thriller starring Kurt Russell, Madeleine Stowe and Ray Liotta. Also features Roger E. Mosley who played T.C. on Magnum P.I. I recommend this if you have not seen it.
Why did Ray Liotta's career go the direction it did? IMO he should have won an oscar for Goodfellas. His performance was one of the best I have seen.

Downfall of a family that's growing more and more dysfunctional.
Decent yet unspectacular drama with a great cast : Peter Coyote and Cindy Pickett (Ferris Bueller's mom) as the father and mother, Vincent D'Onofrio Peter Berg and Noah Wyle as brothers, Juliette Lewis (who gives a great performance) as their younger sister, and Jennifer Jason Leigh as one of the brother's girlfriend.

But instead of giving into racism, Bean joins forces with his fellow inmates and rises up against the bigoted prison warden, MSgt. Otis McKinney (Martin Sheen)" (Wikipedia)
This was a very good military prison drama directed by Martin Sheen. The movie is set in 1960s and is based on a novel by Gordon Weaver. The film stars Charlie Sheen, Martin Sheen, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Beach, Harry Stewart, John Toles-Bey, Blu Mankuma, Ramon Estevez, James Marshall and F. Murray Abraham in an uncredited role.

Okay, Atomik, I might have to break the bad news. I've enjoyed this film for 20 years now and the Copley scenes were cool. I think it's IMDB or MrSk@n who says that it's probably a body double because they do not show the face and body at the same time it seems. I was crushed when I read that. Is Copley on Twitter? I will just ask her.
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Ok, it might be so that she used a body double. But those were definitely her boobs and she was in Playboy (also in 1990) so why couldn´t she go nude also in a movie? She´s a born-again Christian now so she most probably denies everything Posted by Spreadking (Member # 7280) on :

Oh, i know Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
watched richard donner's 1995 action thriller assasins starring sylvester stallone,antoinio banderas and julianne moore.
sly stallone and antonio banderas play rival assasins both given the same job of tracking down and eliminating surveillance expert electra as played by julianne moore.
i've watched this movie a few times over the years,i originally first watched it back when it debuted on home video in the mid 90s and at that time i thought it to be just merely o.k,i then watched it again quite a few years later and came away from it feeling much more impressed with what i had seen and i must say i have enjoyed it ever since.
antonio banderas as miguel bain.
stallone and banderas are both great here in there roles as the rival assasins,banderas here plays his part of the young and cocky hitman miguel bain completely over the top but it does seem to suit the movie well when playing against stallone's more calm and compassionate seasoned pro.
the action scenes are very well handled by director richard donner and the movie certainy does seem to move at a good pace especially the first half hour or so.
julianne moore(electra) and sylvester stallone (robert rath).
assasins is a movie which if i remember right was fairly slated by most film critics and fans upon it's release and in my oppinion unjustly so and one that i believe many will go back to at some point to reevaluate and chances are like myself will probably come away with much more positive feelings about it.
a great 90s action thriller.

Highly entertaining old school action movie based on a real story. I love Charlie Sheen and he was awesome in this one. Simple plot, cool cast, semi-steamy love scene with Linda Fiorentino and good hard rocking soundtrack.

Striptease (1996)
Hey, i didn´t know that this is a comedy What a dumb BUT entertaining film directed by Andrew Bergman.
Demi shows a lot, then again she got 12 Million so... She probably smiles and goes topless to the nearest bank
Nice and hot "dance" sequences and countless stupid characters.
Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
I've always enjoyed fixing the shadow atomik I remember renting it when it first came out on home video,i think it's a really good movie,sheen and Madsen are both really convincing in it and the fact it's based on true events makes it even more compelling to watch.
I have a region 1 DVD of it under the beyond the law title,it's a budget 4 movie pk along with Michael Keaton's quicksand which also stars Michael Caine,fall time starring mickey Rourke and the Steven seagal thriller ticker.
Sheen starred in some really entertaining flicks throughout most of the 90s,I really enjoyed stockade,the chase,terminal velocity and men at work amongst others.
Fixing the shadow aka beyond the law like atomik said is a great movie and if you get a kick out of based on true event action thrillers you'll most definitely enjoy it.

watched the crime drama bullet (1996) starring mickey rourke,tupac shakur,adrien brody and ted levine.
i had watched this before when it was first released but could only vaguely remember bits of it,one scene being a pretty graphic eye stabbing (as pictured on the back cover from above),you don't see much but you can just imagine the pain and it sure does make you grimace,the other scene i seemed to remember well from when i originally watched it was the steamy night club sex scene towards the end of the movie
mickey rourke as butch 'bullet' stein.
i thought this was pretty decent,it's got a quite a gripping storyline and great performaces from most the cast,especially rourke,i thought he was really good here as the recently released convict butch 'bullet' stein.
away with the fairies - ted levine as vietnam veteran louis stein.
ted levine also is a lot of fun to watch as rourke's whacked out vietnam vet brother,he's a good actor who really knows how to play it up,to say his character here has lost the plot is a total understatement.
adrien brody is fine as rourke's artistic younger brother who doesn't seem to fit in with such violent surroundings,tupac as the one eyed villain tank who is out for revenge on rourke's character butch is also decent in what is a fairly brief role.
you've got to hand it to him for a pretty good performance it's adrien brody as ruby stein.
bullet is quite a violent and bleak thriller but it does make for a good watch.
highly recomended 8/10.

Pure Luck (1991)
This was a decent comedy directed by Nadia Tass (Malcolm, The Big Steal). The film is set in Mexico and is a remake of the popular French comedy film La Chèvre (1981) and stars Martin Short, Danny Glover, Sheila Kelley, Sam Wanamaker, Scott Wilson and Harry Shearer.
A nice feelgood comedy but not the kind which makes me laugh out loud. I thought that the theme tune Danny Elfman had composed sounded a lot like his Simpsons one.
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Watched Raw Nerve (1991) and what a lousy and silly thriller it was. The director just can´t create tension at all.
"Jimmy Clayton (Prior) is a race car driver who has visions of the murders that have been happening locally. The police do not believe him and he is not aware of what is happening to him. When he has a vision of his sister Gina (Lords) being murdered, he needs to make an investigation of his own. With the help of local reporter Gloria Freedman (Bergman), Jimmy tries to determine who the murderer is and analyse his visions." (IMDb)
The plot is a mess and most of the cast is horrible. Glenn Ford looks like a totem pole in his last feature film and Jan-Michael Vincent looks pretty much the same. He had a serious alcohol problem in real life and it shows. Ted Prior (director David A. Prior´s brother) looks a bit like Christian Bale but can´t act at all. Traci Lords looks good (and that´s enough for me) and i´ve always liked Sandahl Bergman. She´s in top form and has fantastic outfits. Of course there´s the obligatory twist in the end before the suffering stops. Recommended only for true Bergman/Lords aficionados.

"A sketch artist for the police helps a witness recall who she saw leaving the scene of a murder, and discovers that the person is his wife. Not willing to believe she was responsible, he resketches the pictures so they don't look like her, and he begins his own investigation of the murder." (IMDb)
Watched Sketch Artist (1992) and it was a decent early 90s thriller made for late night television. The cast is pretty good: Jeff Fahey, Sean Young, Drew Barrymore, Frank McRae, Tchéky Karyo and James Tolkan. Fahey was born to do these kind of roles. He smokes all the time in this film, you just notice these things nowadays. The story is interesting, especially the first half but the ending is a major letdown. They made a sequel too in 1995 which stars Fahey and Courteney Cox. You can also see a little bit skin in the flick, especially british born Charlotte Lewis looks fabulous.
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
Sketch Artist sounds good. I'd never heard of it. I remember Body Parts with Fahey as the star. I don't know if it ever got released to the theaters, as it coincided with the Jeffrey Dahmer murders. I saw it on VHS back in the 90's. Fahey was hot then, but he looks incredibly old now. Probably from all of that smoking, I think he also had a tv series in the 90's which was produced by his friend Don Johnson.

- For the moment a very well made and entertaining war time romance set in rural Canada,a place called Manitoba (the scenery looks beautiful) with Russell crowe as an airpilot based at a nearby bomber pilot trainee school getting ready to fight overseas during world war 2.
He falls in love with a local farm girl called lill terrifically played by Christiane hirt (the accused) who happens to be married with a husband also fighting overseas.

Watched All I Wanna Do (1998) aka Strike! (Canada) aka The Hairy Bird (Australia). Not a classic by any means but it was ok late 90s teen flick.

wow! what a really sweet natured and likeable movie this 2000 rom com was,i had watched it back upon its initial release back in 2000 but watching it again reminded me of just what a great little flick this was!
excellent cast,duchovny and minnie driver make a great couple and it's got an awesome supporting cast including robert loggia (always liked him in 1987s hot pursuit),james belushi and the late carroll o'connor from - kellys heroes.

Cape Fear 1991. This ranks up there as one of the best remakes in my opinion. Bobby De Niro was scarily good as the revenge seeking Max Cady.
The scene between him and Juliette Lewis in the drama room was a fantastic scene. They are both really talented and they had great chemistry.
I really like how they got the original actors in the movie such as Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum. Robert Mitchum as the original Max Cady can't be beat though I think. He played that role flawlessly. De Niro certainly gave a great take on the character and is good to see him in a role where he is not playing a wiseguy.
That's my post done, I think I might go and bite somebody's face off

I think Cape Fear is one of Scorsese's most underrated films. Yep, the original is pretty excellent, but the remake is quite good too, made so by Robert DeNiro's bravura performance as a redneck psychopath and Scorsese's sharp direction.

My Blue Heaven (1990)
I have always liked this one Posted by J2ME (Member # 5728) on :
"A woman secretly witnesses the murder of her blind date for the evening by a top Mafia boss. She immediately goes into hiding without informing the authorities. When they finally catch up with her, she is unwilling to testify to what she has seen, but the Mafia are on her trail."
Narrow Margin (1990)
This was a pretty good thriller. Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Narrow Margin is entertaining stuff indeed and Deep Impact is better than Armageddon.
Just watched No Contest (1995)
"A beauty contest turns into a hostage situation, when the Miss Galaxy competition is taken over by a gang, demanding a ransom of diamonds. Sharon, a kick-boxing actress, is the host of the show, and the thorn in the terrorists side." (IMDb)
This was pretty good direct to video actioner with an interesting cast. Shannon Tweed, Andrew Dice Clay, Robert Davi, Roddy Piper, Nicholas Campbell, John Colicos and James Purcell star.
Playboy goddess Tweed is the action star (believe it or not) in this Die Hard rip-off. Dice Clay and Piper are the bad guys and you can see that they enjoy every minute. I liked this very violent and entertaining b-action film. I also have the sequel and will check it out one of these days.
Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
A good friend of mine in Toronto worked on No Contest as a storyboard artist/graphic designer. He likes Shannon Tweed a lot, though he said that Gene Simmons was always milling about, especially if Shannon had a love scene. He also bumped into Robert Davi on a late night stroll of Amsterdam a few years later, and they reminisced about working on this Canadian tax shelter deal.

She doesn´t have a love scene in this one, i knew Gene was behind it! Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Watched No Contest II (1997) and i have to say that it was a pretty average b-actioner. This time Lance Henriksen plays the baddie, son of WWII nazi officer who´s after few nerve gas bombs. It feels like all characters are idiots which can sometimes be fun but not in this case Shannon Tweed once again shows her nonexistent karate skills. The skin melting sequences were pretty cool.

Doctor Mordrid (1992) is one of the best Full Moon Entertainment films i´ve ever seen. It´s basically a Dr. Strange (the Marvel Comics character) film but Charles Band lost the rights to the name just before the production started so they had to change the name of the film.
Anyway, this was highly entertaining 70 minutes, Jeffrey Combs is great like he always is and Brian Thompson plays his arch nemesis Kabal. The special effects look fantastic for a low-budget feature and you also get to see some stop motion stuff. Recommended!
Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
I'm going to have to check Dr mordrid out atomik,it sounds good to me,when I watched the trailer I thought for a full moon production the effects and everything else seemed a cut above there norm!
I've not long ordered a blu Ray (from UK distributor 88 films) of one of there earlier productions actually and that is Stuart Gordon's the pit and the pendulum with Lance henriksen,just waiting for it to arrive.
There early 90s stuff was all pretty solid - puppet master,shadowzone,castle freak,the pit and the pendulum were all good fun.
Want to check out Dr mordrid,phantoms with Sherilyn fenn and netherworld from 1992.

Watched Men of War which is 1994 action drama directed by Perry Lang, better known as an actor in Spring Break etc. The original script is from John Sayles and it doesn´t follow your basic action film formula. It´s very calm in places although i have to say that the final 30 mins or so is breathtaking stuff. This is surprisingly good mid 90s flick which i highly recommend.

Double bill of Michael Keaton:

The Paper (1994)
"From the director of 'City Slickers' comes a comedy about two political speechwriters for the Republican and Democratic candidates in the New Mexico Senatorial election. The writers, Kevin and Julia (Michael Keaton and Geena Davies) meet up one night, unaware of each other's occupation. But when they discover that they are rivals in work, their affair becomes a sharp-witted competition, especially when Kevin's ex-girfriend turns up as a reporter to cover the event."

Getting Lucky (1990) is ultra low-budget teen sex comedy written and directed by Michael Paul Girard. If you read the plot summary you can see that this is pretty weird and wicked flick. Bad acting, shower scene, incredibly funny shrinking scene plus few wtf moments. If you´re looking for nice romantic teen film, i have one advice: stay away!

This 1996 action thriller - sabotage which I watched the other day was actually a pretty enjoyable flick despite featuring an overly complex plot and also very little hand to hand combat with actor and martial artist - mark dacascos which is a pity as the one fight scene he does appear in was really great stuff!
Good cast with Tony todd (candyman) who always makes for a pretty cool villain and Carrie Anne moss as an investigating f.b.I agent with some decent action scenes throughout which feature a serious amount of gunplay.
Tony Todd's villain actually uses a high powered rifle and we get a few bullet pov shots in the style of the excellent 1993 tom berenger flick - sniper though these scenes are obviously done on a much smaller budget and look more comical than anything else,though there still great fun to have in there .
This is actually a pretty entertaining 1 hour 30 minutes or so and the budget blu ray release from 101 films has an OK transfer with a few scenes looking pretty darn good,sound was above average as well with volume levels between dialogue and action scenes being spot on.
I'd like to see 101 films release - angel town https://youtu.be/zW4l7P2aVfU starring Olivier gruner,that would be awesome!

"A spoof of the late 80s and early 90s suspense thrillers and murder mysteries, including Basic Instinct, Sleeping With The Enemy, Cape Fear and others. A cop/attorney (yes he's both) is seduced by a woman while his wife is having an affair with a mechanic. Lots of other sublots and visual gags in the style of Naked Gun." (IMDb)
Fatal Instinct (1993) bombed at the US Box Office but i found it actually pretty entertaining film directed by Carl Reiner. At first, i though that Armand Assante was wrong choice to play the lead character but in the end, he wasn´t that bad. I love the ladies in this one: Kate Nelligan, Sean Young and Sherilyn Fenn were all great and very easy on the eye.

Pentathlon (1994) is an entertaining action-drama with some sports thrown in the mix. Dolph Lundgren is solid and shows his versatility here. It was also nice to see Magnum star Roger E. Mosley in this one. David Soul plays the villain and is over the top cartoonish. Especially his plans and actions near the end made me laugh.

Watched the awesome 1990 futuristic action thriller - split second starring the great Rutger hauer and the lovely kim cattrall for the very first time the other night - I seriously enjoyed this one,it's tense,fast paced,funny(the banter between hauer and his partner) and has loads of atmosphere,in short it's 90 minutes of pure fun!
Watched this on the UK 101 films blu ray release (rental) which transfer wise seemed a bit all over the place with the picture being sharp one moment and then soft the next but overall i'd say it was none too bad!
Will definitely be looking at picking this up for purchase at some point,a great flick 8/10.
I've got pentathlon on an anchorbay UK blu ray atomik,it's a fun movie and like you say David soul couldn't have acted any more over the top if he tried,his performance was hilarious!
The blu ray for it is not to bad,the picture and sound are both adequate and best of all it was cheap,I picked it up for just under 4 UK pounds.
Not one of Dolph's very best but still well worth checking out!

The fact it's got so much going on in it's 102 minute running time (it's crammed full of violence,action,nudity etc) steers you away from concentrating on how daft the actual plot is.
Ricochet is fantastic, co-written by legendary Fred Dekker!
Watched The Bounty Hunter (1990) which was directed by Robert Ginty. Of course the 80s legend also stars in this one with another cool fella Bo Hopkins as the evil sheriff. It was a decent action thriller with a strong message, some action and cool dialog. Nothing special really but check it out if you like the two guys mentioned.

Blood Games (1990)
When an all-female team beats a bunch of rednecks at the ballgame, the movie shifts gears to become a survival thriller, not unlike The Zero Boys a couple of years prior to this one.
B-movie legends Ross Hagen and George Buck Flower show up, but for most of the girls Blood Games was their only movie credit, except for Laura Albert who may not be well-known as an actress, but appears to be a very busy Hollywood stunt-woman whose credits include many big-budget blockbusters.
In the end credits it's said that Blood Games was produced in '89, but the Imdb lists this as a 1990 release.

This was fairly entertaining b-actioner directed by David A. Prior. Lots of familiar names among the cast: David Keith, Robert Hays, Pamela Anderson, Leo Rossi, Charles Napier and Stacy Keach. Keith plays ex-cop who is a bounty Hunter. He gives a fine tough guy performance and takes Pam roughly in a warehouse. Pam didn´t like how the scene went and has said that it was a nightmare. She goes to bed with Hays too and he´s much sweeter guy The film is filled with chase scenes, nudity, silly characters and stupid but fun one-liners. Good stuff!

Detective Russell Logan(a specialist in catching serial killers) engages in a battle of wits with Channing in life and after death. It appears that Channing can't be stopped,but Logan has a few tricks of his own to match Channing's-"First Power". - Taken from imdb
Awesome 1990 action thriller starring lou diamond philips as L.A detective - Russell Logan who is on the trail of the creepy 'pentangle' serial killer - patrick channing who is menacingly played here by Jeff kober (above poster - right hand side) who when finally captured is sentenced to die in the gas chamber but after his execution is carried out he (channing) then returns from beyond the grave as an evil demonic spirit to continue his never ending killing spree and also to seek revenge on the detective (logan) who finally brought him to justice!
Moves at a lightning pace this one with many a great set piece involving some really crazy stunt work,few plot similarities here to the previous years wes craven horror flick - shocker but the lack plot originality aside this is a really entertaining thriller!
Looks superb on blu ray as well where to the point that in one scene you can easily spot a wire attached to one of the stunt men when he's falling from a high rise apartment.

Along with his lover, Jordan, and another kidnapped man, Verdiccio is hunted by mercenaries in a televised death duel which is the main event for a multi-million dollar gambling racket." (IMDb)
A decent Lorenzo Lamas vehicle but not among his best films. Also starring his then wife Kathleen Kinmont who shows some skin, Anthony De Longis and Clark Johnson. Few nice fight scenes and one-liners but it feels like a second rate Running Man and the wandering around the warehouse gets old pretty fast.

Teaming up with a friendly samurai couple, on a two-centuries-old blood-feud with the Ninja, he struggles to survive." (IMDb)
The film stars Christopher Lambert, John Lone, Yoshio Harada and Joan Chen. It starts very slowly but i have to say that this was pretty good stuff. Lambert does very little here, it´s Lone and Harada who shine. Check out the awesome fight in a moving train after some 50 mins with lots of blood and casualties.

Plot summary - The shy teenager Tom McHugh worships his sexy neighbor Geena Matthews that lives on the other side of the street, but he does not dare to talk to her. When his parents travel with their dog for a competition and his self-confident big brother Craig McHugh unexpectedly arrives from California for a visit with a classic 1959 Cadillac, Graig decides to call Geena and schedule a date with Tom. He lends his clothes and his credit card to Tom, who cuts his hair like Craig, buy flowers while Tom calls a limousine service. However, the driver has an accident and Tom decides "to borrow" the fancy car to impress the girl. When Tom is mistakenly taken as being Craig and finds a body in the trunk, his dream-night with Geena becomes a nightmare. - from IMDb.
- Great fun romantic comedy starring Ethan Hawke and Terri Polo which has a very noticeable 80s feel about it and if you weren't to happen to know in which year that it was made (1991) then you could easily be mistaken for thinking that it was perhaps shot sometime in the mid to late 80s.
Besides Ethan hawke and Teri Polo also of note in the cast is the hilarious - Fisher Stevens as a completely insane flower delivery guy,Brian McNamara (short circuit) as Ethan Hawke's slimy older brother and - big trouble in little China's - Victor Wong and James Hong in small cameo's as a janitor and a fortune teller.
Features a Cool soundtrack with no less than 3 INXS songs from there 1990 album - 'X' - (suicide blonde,dissapear,on my way) plus tracks by Seal,Sonic Youth,Wilson Picket and Tone Loc so it's got some really great songs to tap along to!
The movie is funny but I wouldn't say constantly so but when the laughs do come there's the odd real laugh out loud moment (the scene where Ethan Hawke fights the samurai guy had me in stitches) and though it does go a bit overboard with the slapstick at times most noticeably in the scene when - Fisher Stevens falls off the bridge i would say that overall I thought the movie to be great fun and also that it had a real good - feel good vibe about it and if you're in the mood for something a bit lightweight and silly then you could do a lot worse than checking this one out!

Watched Boulevard (1994).
"A young woman named Jennefer regularly beaten and tortured by her boyfriend, gives birth and immediately gives the child up for adoption. This sets her on an escape from the lover on the streets of Toronto. Here she meets a hardened hooker named Ola who takes her in so she won't be arrested for vagrancy. Jennefer then decides to take up hooking to make money and has to learn to fend for herself and to protect herself from a demanding pimp named Hassan. When Hassan kills one of the street girls, it pits him against the others and against a detective out to bust him. Meanwhile, Jennefer's boyfriend, J-Rod, arrives in the city and relentlessly seeks her out to take her back... or kill her." (IMDb)
No happy hookers here because this is a very sad film. It certainly doesn´t help that the film is set in winter time and you can always hear this downbeat melody. There´s lots of nudity and sleaze and i was so surprised to find out that both the writer and the director are women.
The cast is interesting: super hottie Kari Wuhrer plays Jennefer, Rae Dawn Chong is the streetgirl Ola, Lou Diamond Philips plays Hassan the pimp and Lance Henriksen is vice cop McClaren. As i said, there´s lots of skin and even a lesbian scene between Wuhrer and Chong. Check it out if you enjoy the wrong side of the street.

Rewatched Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) and i just love this film! Director Tom Shadyac was wise enough and gave Jim Carrey free hands to basically do whatever he liked. Sean Young is good as Lt. Einhorn and Udo Kier always delivers. Super fun stuff plus nice score which borrows heavily from both Oh Yeah and Peter Gunn.

Watched Circle of Friends (1995) yesterday.
"'Circle Of Friends' is set in 1950's Ireland. The movie focuses on Benny Hogan and her best friend, Eve Malone. The story centers around Benny and Eve as they enter student life at University College, Dublin. Here Benny and Eve reunite with their childhood friend, the ice-cool Nan Mahon, the 'college belle'. They also encounter the handsome and charming Jack Foley, whom Benny quickly falls for." (IMDb)
This was a very good romantic drama, loved the beautiful irish landscapes and the great cast/ characters. Minnie Driver is perhaps even prettier than in Grosse Pointe Blank, if that´s possible. Gotta love her. Geraldine O´Rawe, Saffron Burrows, Chris O´Donnell also star and Alan Cumming was funny as sleazy Sean Walsh.
Life and relationships stirred by men, parents, religion and growing up. Excellent film!

This 8pk crimes of passion DVD has been a really great buy,it was under 4 UK pounds and even though it has 4 films crammed on each disc and it's from the budget label mill creek each movie has an anamorphic wide-screen release in its correct aspect ratio and with no compression problems whatsoever despite the 4 movies being on each disc.
So far I have watched
Deceived with Goldie Hawn and John Heard,that was pretty decent,good acting from both leads plus some tense moments with a cool twist at the end!
Next I watched Bad Company with Laurence Fishburne and Ellen Barkin,that while nothing overly amazing was still pretty watchable,good cast as well.
Overall It was Not bad at all!
Then I followed that up With The Tie That Binds which stars Daryl Hannah and Keith Carradine,this one was seriously daft in parts but was also very watchable and Hannah and Carradine made for a crazy pair of psycho's!
This has the weakest picture quality so far but it was still perfectly watchable.
And lastly I watched The Rich Man's Wife starring Halle Berry,Clive Owen,Peter Greene and Christopher McDonald,this to was pretty daft but a lot of fun and quite a gripping watch helped no end by a really solid cast!
So four movies in,all pretty good fun,great picture quality though The Tie That Binds looked only so-so but for i think It was just £3 pounds 80 pence or something like that i do think that this makes for a really great value DVD pack!

Watched the 1993 action thriller Nowhere To Run starring Jean Claude Van Damme,Rosanna Arquette, Ted Levine,Joss Ackland and Kieran Culkin.
Always enjoyed this one,I like the simple but entertaining plot of Van Damme being on the run when he comes across a widow and her two kids who desperately need his protection from a ruthless property developer who is doing his up most to drive them of there land,there's some good action scenes here most notably a really well shot motorbike chase involving pursuing bikes,cars and police on horseback!
This is pretty entertaining stuff actually with Van Damme in rather good form and a very hot looking Rosanna Arquette and then when you add on the great acting talents of both Joss Ackland and Ted Levine as the dastardly villains of the piece and some truly stunning location shooting in and around California State http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107711/locations And you've got yourself a bit of a winner! 8/10.
Seen this numerous times before but this was the first time of watching it on Blu Ray and I must say I was very impressed as there's a real noticeable improvement in both picture and sound!

Watched this ZAZ / Hot Shots style Cannon flick A Man Called Sarge (1990) yesterday. Written and directed by Stuart Gillard (he also did the Cates fantasy Paradise) and stars Gary Kroeger who was in SNL back in the early 80s. Marc Singer, Gretchen German and Jennifer Runyon also star. Gotta love Singer and his german accent It´s a decent flick but nowhere near the other spoofs of the era. The jokes just aren´t that funny. They used movie trailer voice Don LaFontaine (Terminator 2 etc.) as the narrator and beside Singer, this guy has the funniest lines in the film.

This was a fun thriller directed by Mark L. Lester who did lots of good stuff back in the day. Of course the characters sometimes act and behave like idiots but that´s part of the charm. Yancy Butler gives a very good performance as the wicked wacko ex and looks pretty good too. Nothing unusual here but it kept me entertained.

An entertaining low-budget actioner if you can oversee some issues with the time travel and illogical behavior. James Belushi gives a tasty performance as the misogynist redneck criminal Frank.

Watched White Hunter Black Heart (1990)
"A thinly fictionalized account of a legendary movie director, whose desire to hunt down an animal turns into a grim situation with his movie crew in Africa." (IMDb)
This movie didn´t do much for me. The director in question is John Huston and i can see why Clint decided to make this film. He is so much like Huston himself.
I was shocked to see Eastwood with so much dialog because earlier in his career he always thought the less the better. Usually when Clint talks you better listen but this time also his accent started to annoy me. The film has it´s moments (Clint tells the truth about Hollywood etc.) but i can totally understand why this movie is somewhat forgotten.

Watched the sports drama Across The Tracks from 1990 which features a pretty decent cast,you've got a young Brad Pitt,Ricky Schroder who whenever I see I instantly think of 1979s The Champ (great film) in which he played the young lad T.J and rounding it off you have the late Carrie Snodgress who I have always thought of as being a really great actress.
What it is about is Schroder's character returns from a spell in reform school after being caught joyriding with his buddy,on his return he goes to stay with his mother (Carrie Snodgress) and his brother (Brad Pitt) in there trailer park home, his mother welcomes him back with open arms but his brother (Pitt) is a bit more apprehensive about his return and for a long stretch of the movie they do not see eye to eye but then like all good brothers they finally patch things up.
Anyhow just as things start to go well for the two bro's Schroder decides to join the local track team,his brother (Pitt) already happens to be the local track team champion and this then Pitts the two brothers and runner's against each other and that is when the sparks between the two really start to fly!
Good stuff this and i must say I do like these sports themed family drama's such as Split Decisions,Sreets Of Gold and now Across The Tracks, i think that they can make for quite the crowd pleaser at times!
Also watched Mobsters a gangster flick with a bit of a Young Guns feel to it where Charlie 'Lucky' Luciano (Christian Slater),Meyer Lansky (Patrick Dempsey),Frank Costello (Costas Mandylor) and Bugsy Siegel (Richard Grieco) take on Don Faranzo (Michael Gambon) and Don Masseria as played by the late great Anthony Quinn in an all out mob war during 1920s New York.
A pretty cool gangster flick this with a terrific all star cast,looks and sounds great on Blu Ray as well and if you look around it can be had a budget price,i only paid just over 4 Uk pounds (included delivery) for mine.
This new Blu Ray is the US cut of the film which runs about 16 minutes shorter than the international version,i do always tend to prefer the longer versions but here I think it makes for a lot snappier movie,another thing though it might be my imagination is I can't remember it being quite this violent,it's been a few years since I last watched it but it seemed a lot more bloody this time round so I don't know whether this cut of the movie has a few scenes that actually differ altogether from the longer international version!

This was much better than i remembered, highly entertaining stuff. The film was written by Boaz Yakin (The Punisher) and Scott Spiegel (Evil Dead II). Clint Eastwood clearly passes the action star torch to younger generation here and in this case, Charlie Sheen.
Huge stunts, lots of great scenes, fun one-liners, cool cast and nice vehicles. Basically this is pure 80s action mayhem and highly recommended to all 80s action freaks!

A career thief witnesses a horrific crime involving the U.S. President. - From IMDB.
Somewhat daft but still entertaining Eastwood thriller from 1997 with a very solid supporting cast including Gene Hackman,Scott Glenn and Ed Harris.
Pretty tense opening gives way to mostly mild thrills but it moves at a pretty decent pace and even though it clocks in at around 2 hours it never bores and Eastwood gives quite a likeable performance as a veteran thief who seriously picks the wrong property to rob!
Like a lot of Warner's Blu Rays that I've watched of late this looks very decent in high def and I believe retails at a none too bad price!

"The film follows the downward spiral of society during a widespread and lengthy power outage in Southern California." (Wiki)
This was a disappointing thriller written and directed by David Koepp based on a Twilight Zone episode. It has few atmospheric moments but sometimes the characters were so dumb it gave me a headache. Also, the plot really has no goal.
Elisabeth Shue looks great like she always does. Kyle MacLachlan and Dermot Mulroney also star.
Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
I totally agree with you especially on "the plot really has no goal." It was such a dry, empty, aimless experience, surprising from David Koepp, whose screenplays are pretty lively even when they aren't good. The film almost dares you to try to find something memorable about it. But you can't even with Ms. Shue and the good cast.

Together with his friends, he hatches a plan to trick all the parents into sending them to a camp of his own design, which would actually be a parent-free paradise. Blackmailing former drama teacher Dennis Van Welker into helping, they must convince the parents that the camp is genuine, and that they aren't allowed to visit..." (IMDb)
This summer, kids rule. Well, ok. This was a pretty decent kids summer camp film. It was directed by Jonathan Prince who wrote 18 Again! with Josh Goldstein back in ´88.
The young cast did ok and it was cool to see Christopher Lloyd and Thomas F. Wilson working together again. We can also see Jessica Alba in her film debut here. Lots of crazy stuff happening here but since it´s a family flick there´s always a lesson for the youngsters to learn.

Galaxis (1995)
This was fun low budget sci-fi action film directed by William Mesa. Starring Brigitte Nielsen, Richard Moll, John H. Brennan, Roger Aaron Brown, Cindy Morgan and Sam Raimi in a small role.
Nielsen looks pretty good as the futuristic Red Sonja and Brown plays a detective with few lethal one-liners. You can tell that the budget was minimal but Mesa sure is one heck of a sfx wizard with over 100 credits as a visual effects supervisor.

Watched the 1990 Nico Mastorakis/Peter Rader directed action thriller Hired To Kill (Blu-Ray rental) starring Brian Thompson as a mercenary who is hired by George Kennedy to free a rebel leader (Jose Ferrer) who is being kept imprisoned in a fortress by a brutal South American dictator as played by the late great and always nutty Oliver Reed.
The plan is for mercenary leader Thompson to disguise himself as a gay fashion photographer and then for him to take seven hardened female criminals/mercenaries along with him for the mission and have them be disguised as his models!
Set in South America but shot on the beautiful looking Greek island of Corfu this is full off your usual Nico Mastorakis wackiness with some bizzare dialogue and many a O.T.T situation but it's a lot of fun and builds to a fab action packed final 20 minutes that features some truly outrageous stuntwork and the fact that a stuntman tragically lost his life while on the set of the film in a helicopter Stunt that went wrong does not surprise me in the least!
Add in the fun performance's from Brian Thompson,Oliver Reed and George Kennedy and you've got yourself a very entertaining 1990's actioner!

As direct to home video low budget 90s police thrillers go Scarred City aka Scar City is in my opinion a cut above,packed full off gun blazing action and nudity and with a solid cast featuing Chazz Palminteri,Stephen Baldwin,Tia Carrere and Renee Estevez this film just flies by jumping from one action packed scenario to the next.
It's not perfect by any means as some of the support acting leaves a lot to be desired but I'd say it's certainly a good one of its type!

Awesome 1991 biker flick starring ex NFL star Brian Bosworth in the lead as an undercover cop Joe Huff who has to infiltrate a group of Hell's Angels known as the Brotherhood which is run by the psychotic Chains (Lance Henriksen) and his violent sidekick Ice as played by William Forsythe.
Moves at a cracking pace this action/thriller with some really impressive stuntwork and action set pieces and despite his acting inexperience lead Brian Bosworth acquits himself extremely well here in what I believe was his very first acting role.
Not only this you've also got the terrific Lance Henriksen and William Forsythe who make for a pair of very mean and menacing adversaries and under the assured direction of Craig R Baxley (Action Jackson) this turns out to be one really fun and entertaining action flick which makes It even more puzzling the fact it bombed so bad at the box office back in the day!
Blu Ray from UK distributor 101 Films looks and sounds top notch and though it comes with reversible sleeve and a small poster which i thought was a nice touch the actual disc itself is about as barebones as you can get with no trailer and not even a chapter selection which I thought was disappointing to say the least!
Still if you see it going cheap enough and are a fan of the movie I say definitely go for the Blu as the transfer is first rate.
Well worth checking out especially for all you action junkies out there and comes highly recommended!

This 1994 comedy was no laugh riot especially the first 15 minutes or so but it did soon pick up and I thought that it got progressively funnier as it went along and actually turned into quite a sweet natured and likeable little comedy with some beautiful Montana scenery and a couple of very decent performances from the ever gorgeous Patricia Arquette and a really young looking Joseph Gordon - Levitt.
Directed by the late Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek's Spock) this was rather good fun overall and well worth the cheap purchase price (just under 4 UK pounds) that I picked it up for!
7/10.

YW, She's All That was much better than 10 Things. I've never seen Drive Me Crazy. Wasn't there another popular movie with Jennifer Love Hewitt around that time period too?

Can't Hardly Wait. I will try to watch it sometime as I see it co stars Ethan Embry, who I really liked in the Showtime tv show Brotherhood. I have never heard of Trojan War.

I watched parts of Rockula, starring Dean Cameron, Toni Basil and Thomas Dolby on Sunday. I didn't see the last 15 minutes as I was busy cleaning. This movie was filmed in 1988 and just screams "1980's". It was really pretty bad. It was a Cannon film, which did not get released until 2-3 years later, as they had filed for bankruptcy. It was on the Comet channels, which I picked up with a digital antenna at my Dad's house. It is mainly a channel that shows older sci- if movies and tv shows. BTW this makes me think that we should start a thread of movies released in the early 1990's but look and feel totally 80's! Do we have a thread like that?
Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
I didn't even know that the Comet channel existed, PGHGirl. I can't keep up with these new networks that populate the digital sub-channels like MyTV, This TV, Antenna TV, and Retro TV. I have to admit, I liked the list of programming that I saw on Comet. Where else can you see both Blacula and Johhny Sokko and His Flying Robot? LOL
Posted by Pittsburghgirl (Member # 7514) on :
I had never heard of it either, Crash. There is another good one, Heroes and Icons (H&I). I watched Renegade, Hill St. Blues and NYPD Blue on Saturday night. A friend gave us this digital antenna. You just stick it up in the window. Amazing! We get 6-8 channels. I had to cancel th Dish Network, as it was getting to be too much money.
Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
Everything is so expensive these days. I have basic cable plus here in the USVI. That along with my Internet is $182/month. Just ridiculous. I have zero pay channels and got the plus just so that I could have AMC, TCM, and BBC America. The technology is horrid too. They gave me a cable box from circa 1990. It has a "save to VCR" feature.

J.J. is a rookie in the Sheriff's Department and the first black officer at that station. Racial tensions run high in the department as some of J.J.'s fellow officers resent his presence. His only real friend is the other new trooper, the first female officer to work there, who also suffers similar discrimination in the otherwise all-white-male work environment. When J.J. becomes increasingly aware of police corruption during the murder trial of Teddy Woods, who he helped to arrest, he faces difficult decisions and puts himself into great personal danger in the service of justice - from IMDB
Watched the 1994 Cop/Courtroom Drama The Glass Shield which despite a great cast including Michael Ironside,M.Emmet Walsh,Ice Cube,Bernie Casey,Elliot Gould and Lori Petty it still didn't quite do it for me,wasn't help by the fact that it felt Slightly overlong and that the main lead of Michael Boatman (Spin City) didn't quite convince as the young rookie black cop.
It was watchable enough but I'd say certainly nothing memorable and with such a high caliber of cast I was definitely expecting more!
Watched it on Blu Ray rental and the picture and sound quality of this recently released UK Blu from Bfi Video was top notch, extras included an interview with the director and an alternate ending.
"Renton, deeply immersed in the Edinburgh drug scene, tries to clean up and get out, despite the allure of the drugs and influence of friends."
This has lost nothing over the years. Classic.

Prayer of the Rollerboys (1990)
"Set in an unspecified time in the future, USA has declined and become a country of violence and racial prejudice. Griffin earns his living delivering pizzas while he tries to take care of his little brother. An old friend of his, Gary Lee, is the leader of a gang with big ambitions, the Rollerboys. Gary joins them to help the police keep track of the gang." (IMDb)
finally got to watch this Haimster film and i don´t know, it was a decent feature but sooo silly at times. I liked the setting and it was surprisingly violent with lots of skin. The industrial flavoured soundtrack was not my cup of tea though.
I can´t help but think that i should´ve seen this back when it was released. The creative team Rick King/W. Peter Ilif wrote Point Break in 1991 so they definitely did have some talent.
Posted by the young warrior (Member # 9554) on :
I really enjoy Prayer Of The Rollerboys but it took me a couple of viewings to warm to it,I first watched it back more or less when it hit home video here in the UK (90/91) and even back then it came across as amazingly silly but there's certainly something about it as I have definitely took to it since and have watched it numerous times!
I absolutely adored Patricia Arquette back in the day and have always found the Haimster fun to watch,also the skating was pretty ace and while the soundtrack wasn't amazing I did like the track Blown Away by King Swamp - http://www.kingswamp.com/faq/video.html
One thing about this movie though is I can never keep a straight face when you see the Rollerboys with there long coats on swinging there arms in tandem and I can imagine when this first viewed in theatres back in the day that there was a serious amount of sniggering going on!

Fun 1992 action drama Starring Carl Weather's as Billy 'Hurricane' Smith a Texas oil field worker who travels to Australia's stunning Gold Coast to look for his sister who has mysteriously disappeared!
While there it comes to light that she was mixed up in a prostitution racket run by a despicable mob boss Charlie Dowd as played by the always great Jurgen Prochnow.
Have always liked Carl Weather's and I thought he was again very decent here and I know that he had Action Jackson a few years prior but I think it's a pity that he didn't do more of these big screen lead action roles as I do think that they suited him down to the ground and looking at his filmography that after Hurricane Smith he seemed to turn his attention mostly to TV work with just the odd big screen cameo here and there in Adam Sandler's comedies such as Happy Gilmore and Little Nicky which I think was a big shame!
Carl Weather's and David Argue during the finale of 1992s Hurricane Smith.
The pretty Cassandra Delaney (who was once married to the late musician John Denver) plays Weather's love interest in what too date was her final film role and also the familiar face of David Argue (BMX Bandits, Razorback) appears here as a character named Shanks.
Moves at a fair old pace and has quite the Action packed finale plus Delaney flashes some skin and the Aussie Gold Coast makes for a great setting!
Would like to see Hurricane Smith, watched most Weathers films during my movie marathon few years ago but still don´t own this one.
My Life is another interesting film i would like to see but is maybe a bit too depressing.
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
Watched Hughes films Dutch (1991) and Curly Sue (1991) and found both of them subpar stuff. Mediocre cast, no chemistry, no feel, bad jokes, stupid behavior etc. etc.
Dutch was directed by Peter Faiman who did Crocodile Dundee back in ´86, then Dutch and then nothing. I wonder how and why John even contacted this guy? Hughes directed Curly Sue himself but hated the film so maybe his time was just over. Such a shame.
I think i´m going to end my Hughes journey here. I have no interest watching the Disney remakes he wrote during the late 90s-00s.
He´s always going to be one of the true legends but stick with the 80s classics, the 90s was poison for this man.

Yeah, i have the Fortune Dane pilot on vhs and here´s my review from the 80s television section:
Haha, what a crapfest directed by the cheapomeister Fred Olen Ray The film stars Jan-Michael Vincent, John Phillip Law, P.J. Soles, Ross Hagen plus a bunch of nobodys and the acting is so lousy i thought i was gonna die
The story moves very slowly, someone must´ve told the crew that this movie MUST be at least 90 minutes long. So much wtf stuff here: P.J. Soles´ outfit - oh my god , J-M Vincent mumbling his lines and the woman who plays Alienator, Teagan Clive, is one MASSIVE chick. Well, i wanted to watch crap and that´s just what i got

Really enjoyed this 1998 spoof with Leslie Nielsen which sends up the likes of The Fugitive, Braveheart,Mission Impossible,Field Of Dreams,Titanic,Clear And Present Danger etc etc. it has so many sight gags that chances are you will bound to end up laughing at something or other!
Fun cast as well what with Leslie Nielsen you also get Rambo's Richard Crenna,Kelly Lebrock plus a brief appearance from Michael York.

Eight Days A Week
Year: 1997 Director: Michael Davis Stars: Joshua Schaeffer, Keri Russell, R D Robb, Mark L Taylor, Johnny Green, Catherine Hicks, Buck Kartalian
Ever since the end of the eighties, there has been a grave decline in the ‘teen comedy’ genre. We moved from a decade in which angst and unrequited love ruled, and into a decade where all the love was immediately achieved and angst took a back seat to loutish behaviour and overt childishness. So in this barren desert of American Pie and Dude, Where’s My Car, the quiet arrival of Eight Days A Week is a welcome oasis.
The story is a simple, far-fetched one. Peter lives across the street from his one true love, Erica. Her fundamental Christian parents would love her to hook up with ‘the sweet kid from across the street’ but instead she hooks up with Nick, the school Jock. At the beginning of summer, while watching Erica playing with the local kids and a lawn sprinkler, his grandfather tells him the tale of his great, great Uncle Giuseppe, who stood under the balcony of his beloved, day and night until she finally fell for him. Realising that time was short, and that at the end of the summer, Erica was going away to college, Peter decided to give this a try, and moved into her front yard.
Now Erica wasn’t immediately impressed with this, and neither was the more forthright Nick, but Peter was determined, and stayed there. And it gave him much more than he bargained for.
In the beginning, things did not go well. For one thing, his father called him crazy, and changed the locks to prevent him going in to wash and eat. His best friend Matt spent the summer regaling him – in great detail – of his tales of sexual self-sufficiency (apparently he is one of the 0.03% of men who achieve self-fellatio – even if it did result in a broken neck). And Erica’s parents keep bringing him crucifix-shaped cookies. Things are not going well.
It’s also the rest of the neighbourhood that intrigues Peter. There’s the ‘crazy lady’ who eats in her car, tends her garden in a mask and snorkel, mows her lawn at night by torch-light, and makes phone calls when sat on the roof. There’s the guy who always drove around the block three or four times before parking. There’s Ms Lewis, the sexually frustrated lady next door, who grew to enjoy putting on a show for Peter. There was the sad man who every day wheeled his sad wife around in her wheelchair, then one day, he just stopped taking her out, and started dumping sacks of trash, at night, into the trunk of his car. There were the neighbourhood kids, whose lives followed the same pattern as Peter’s had (quiet kids being picked on by bullies). And through it all, there was Erica.
When Peter deliberately upsets her parents, Erica starts talking to him. When Peter’s grandfather dies, she consoles him. They grow to be great friends, but will they be more before the summer ends?
This movie has great performances by the main characters, and is full of laughs, as well as many long lingering shots of Keri Russell’s very well-designed body. But really it’s the understated nature of the movie that gets you. There’s no loud, crude belly laughs, and no big-name stars competing for screen time.
It’s a teen comedy the way they used to be made. And that’s a rare thing these days.

THAT NIGHT (1992)
Spotted this one late last night and decided to give it another go. I tried watching a couple times before and always lost interest and either fell asleep or switched to something else. But I was able to make it to the end this time.
It's not a bad movie if you are into these coming-of-age, young romance kind of flicks. The very young Juliette Lewis and C. Thomas Howell are both alright on their own, but they have very little on-screen chemistry to me in this one. This movie is the kind of mushy, puppy love stuff that makes my stomach crawl, so I had to choke back the vomit a little. I will say the coming-of-age story with the pint-sized Eliza Dushku is what saves this movie from being total trash for me. Without it I could not give this movie a good review at all. So I suppose it's worth a watch for that, but everything else is nauseating romantical crap with a little bit of drama thrown in.
My Final Score: 3/10

The Rookie - A highly enjoyable buddy cop film. Clint looked like he was having the time of his life and there was lots of funnies from him and good action scenes. The only thing I wish is that they woulda lightened up Charlie's character a little sooner as he was just way too dry and serious through most of it. When they did so in the last 20 minutes it really took it up a few notches. The ending was super corny, loved it! 8/10
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
The Rookie is indeed a very good buddy cop film. I liked that Clint passed the action star torch to Charlie in the film (Check out the end scene). But that was 1990 and he´s still acting so... A strong 8/10 from me also.

The Daytrippers (1996), written and directed by Greg Mottola, who also wrote Adventureland. This was a cute little indie movie, starring Hope Davis, Liev Schreiber, Parker Posey and Anne Meara. “When she discovers a love letter written to her Husband by an unknown paramour, the distraught Eliza turns to her tight knit Long Island family for advice.” This was a cute movie if you are into low budget indies, plus there is a little twist at the end.
Posted by Helen_S (Member # 5804) on :
Brain Dead - I loved this!! 1990 but had that wonderful dingy, cheapish looking beautifully grainy, gripping, slightly TV feel of great 80s stuff like Scanners. I'm glad I never saw a trailer for it or anything as it really turned into something I was not expecting at all. Bill Pullman was great. So were the effects. I didn't know what the hell was going on and I don't want to look for any interpretations or anything. Sometimes I just like weird to just sit there as weird. 9/10
Vampire In Brooklyn - The middle third really lets this film down. I love the opening with the ship crashing in and the setting up of the Renfield character. It's the perfect blend of comedy horror. But then it just seems to forget the horror part and just rolls into a load of soppy waffle. It turns around though and becomes good again. And Angela Bassett's black and red cape like coat, WANT NOW. 6/10
Gremlins II: The New Batch - Finally, this really clicked for me at last! I was obsessed with the first film as a kid and what I liked and still do most was how even though it had funny parts it was also really dark, sombre, moving and some bits scared me. I remember like yesterday going to my friends house as she had rented this and the sheer disappointment I felt that they completely chucked all of that away for just balls to the wall crazy comedy was overwhelming I warmed up to it a little more over the years, giving it either a 6/10 or 7/10. But today as I was feeling a bit miserable full of cold this cheered me up no end. I laughed like a loon. Especially something weird happened when John Glover looked at Grandpa Fred on the screen and said Dracula, I sounded like Mutley Almost everything worked for me today (Loses a little something towards the end and I still don't appreciate the joke skitting the sad story from part 1) D!ck, Lee and Gargoyle Gremlin ftw!! 9/10
