A cop killing innocent people? You mean a maniac cop?
First of all, let me clarify that the four star rating only qualifies in the genre of slightly-schlocky gore. For those of you that don't appreciate this type of movie, it's more like one star. But if you're looking to buy the DVD and reading this review, I have a ...

Taut and Provocative

Escape from New York
Tom Atkins,
Adrienne Barbeau
MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
A Cult Classic
Not really being familiar with the work of John Carpenter or the acting ability of Kurt Russell, I guess it can safely be said that I went into this movie blind. That, in many ways can be a good thing. I went in with little to no expectations and had no hopes about ...

Let Him Have It

Christopher Eccleston
New Line Home Video, 1998
A Magnificent Achievement!!!
I won't bother telling the plot of this film since so many other reviewers have outlined it in great detail. I will only say there is no greater cinematic indictment of the death penalty than this devastating film. What gives it special significance, of course, is ...
Lethal Weapon 1

Warner Home Video, 1992
Must have to Complete Lethal Weapon Collection
The DVD came on time and in perfect condition. The movie stays true to the previous Lethal Weapon movies. Danny and Mel are great together. I wish they would come out with another!

Clever parody of the state of current American "politics" - sometimes too painful to watch.
Cry in the Wild: The Taking of Peggy Ann
David Morse
,
Megan Follows
Turner Home Entertainment, 1993
Movie Based on Hatchet
This movie is based on the Young Adult novel, Hatchet. It is a good movie to show to students who have read or are reading the book. It is easy to find where it correlates to chapters in the book so you could use just part of the movie for a lesson. The movie is ...
Striking Distance
Bruce Willis
,
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sony Pictures, 1996
Underrated Genre Gem
Bruce Willis at the peak of his action hero form playing a cynical hard-boiled cop trying to fight the system. A pre-Sex and the City Sarah Jessica Parker at the peak of her cuteness. Great character actors like Dennis Farina, Tom Sizemore, Brion James, Tom Mahoney, ...
Dresser

Tom Courtenay
Sony Pictures, 1996
A love-song to Sir Donald Wolfit
There's a very peculiar review here by one Eric A. Daily, who thinks that the eponymous Dresser is played by John Hurt. Oh no he isn't. It's Tom Courtenay, in one of his most affecting performances. I saw Courtenay play this on the London Stage nearly 30 years ago; ...

Hbo Home Video, 1996
A Great Heist Movie
Where can one start with a review of The Heist. It is a well crafted movie from begining to end. All the colorful characters are well defined and exciting to watch. There is a scene in the middle of the movie where the bad guys are attempting to figure out how Neil ...
The Fog

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000
I had a foggin good time!
This movie was great. The music was eerie and spooky. The atmosphere was moody. The story was entertaining. Need I say more? John Carpenter is a genius at creating unique films full of suspense and mood. THE FOG is a fine example. In the 80's Carpenter could do no ...

Finally!!!
OMG!!! Finally The New Kids get the DVD treatment. I've been waiting for this to come out forever it seems like. All I have to say is if you've never seen this movie buy it anyway. Trust me if your an 80's fan you'll love this hidden gem. I highly recommend it if your ...
Blind Justice
Tim Matheson,
Mimi Kuzyk
Fox Home Entertainment, 1988
The Road to Paranoia at its Bumpiest.
This harrowing but well-done film, purportedly based upon actual incidents, relates in nicely detailed fashion how the criminal justice system can fail in its avowed purpose of bringing only the guilty to heel. Jim Anderson (Tim Matheson), a happily married free-lance ...
Lethal Weapon - The Complete Series
Mel Gibson
,
Danny Glover
Warner Studios, 2001
One of the top Male Action Series
What more can be said. The Lethal Weapon series is one of the best Male action guy movies ever made. The fight scene at the end of original Lethal Weapon IMHO is one of thee best ever! Then the people in the past future movies go back to the first (what happened to ...
