Dreamcatcher
Morgan Freeman, Thomas Jane
Warner Home Video, 2003
WOW! As hilarious film fiascos go, DREAMCATCHER is anything but SSDD!
+ Better Than Expected
+ Dream or Nightmare Catcher?
From what we've heard, quite a bit of Stephen King's DREAMCATCHER was lost in the translation from the page to the screen; but not having read it, we were free to enjoy the movie as a creature feature involving, among other things, slimy, toothy worms that issue forth, in a crescendo of blood and ...

Memoirs of an Invisible Man
Sam Anderson, Steven Barr
Warner Bros. Pictures, 1995
Strangely touching
+ Very Entertaining!
This movie is indeed underrated, and perhaps largely unknown due more to its relatively low budget than to its concept or execution. Chevy Chase is strangely touching portraying in dramatic tones a character caught in what would at first seem a purely comedic situation. Nick Holloway's ...

Good Times Home Video, 1998
A great classic.

From a time when movies were more good acting and less special effects with shock factor.
Wonderful movie if you are a pilot or just enjoy areoplanes. Good film in general. I wish they would re-release this so its not so hard to find. As of right now beware DVD's as they are likely poor quality ...
