Congo

Laura Linney, Tim Curry

Paramount, 1999

Adventure with some laughs and hey, killer gorillas!

Not all Michael Crichton inspired movies can match up to Jurassic Park, but what they can offer is a fun adventure. "Congo" is a very fun movie with some stand out performances by Tim Curry, Ernie Hudson and Delroy Lindo. It's closer in tone to the Indiana Jones movies than anything else, with ...

Something of Value

Rock Hudson, Dana Wynter

Mgm Entertainment, 1987

A Topical Richard Brooks Drama

I have yet to see this film played on any Television cable channel. Brooks brings to the screen Robert Ruark's novel about the Mau Mau uprisings in the then British East Africa. Its a powerful story that is well acted by Rock Hudson, Sidney Poitier, Dana Wynter and Wendy Hiller. Here is a chance ...

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

The only good movie version of this book

This is a superb film version of Rider Haggard's thrilling adventure story. The actors all perform their roles with zest and conviction, with Paul Robeson outstanding as the rightful chief of the tribe returned to claim his birthright. Best of all, the film has a satisfactorily evil and terrifying ...

Bulldog Drummond in Africa

John Howard, Heather Angel

Alpha Video, 2003

The series is charming

+ Great Fun for Fans

I enjoy all the Bulldog Drummond movies, no matter who is playing the lead, no matter who is playing the chief of police, Drummond's family friend. His butler Tenny is worth the price of any of these films. This particular film shocked me in that it takes Drummond and his crew to Morocco, which is ...
