Blind Spot [VHS]
Joanne Woodward, Laura Linney
Republic Pictures, 1995
deaf and dumb, too
This TVM directed by Michael Toshiyuki Uno is notable for how Laura Linney steals the tube, as the daughter of Joanne Woodward as Washington congressman faced with the issue of drug addiction. The use of real life pictures of Woodward with her own daughter, and the fact that she co-produced, tells ...

Bad picture for Jeanette.

All American Murder [VHS]
Christopher Walken, Charlie Schlatter
Turner Home Entertainment, 1996
All American B Movie
All American Murder is a flic that I wouldn't waste time writing a review for except Christopher Walken makes this movie memorable. Walkin plays an on the edge homicide detective who is burnt out on life and is looking to catch a good guy for a change, or so he says. The story line is predictable ...

Parallel Lives (1994) [VHS]
James Belushi, Liza Minnelli
Paramount, 1963
Highly entertaining comedy-drama
+ We liked the show
I love stuff like this, quirky Altman-esque comedy-dramas with huge casts, and this did not disappoint. For a film that was almost entirely improvised, "Parallel Lives" chugs along quite smoothly. Standouts in the cast are Liza Minnelli (who deserved an Emmy nomination), Lindsay Crouse, Dudley ...

Wrestling Ernest Hemingway
Warner Home Video, 1994
COMPLETELY OVERLOOKED & GROSSLY UNDERRATED CLASSIC MAKES IT TO DVD THROUGH WARNER BROTHERS ONLY!
+ this rates way up there with the Horton Foote masterpieces
'Wrestling Ernest Hemingway' is a little known film that is so overlooked, it's almost criminal! This is a fantastic movie with incredible performances by Harris and Duvall! Shirley MacLain, Piper Laurie and Sandra Bullock turn in great performances in supporting roles as well, in this poignant and ...

Career (1959) [VHS]
Dean Martin, Anthony Franciosa
Paramount, 1998
Excellent portrait of a man seeking a goal, no matter what !
+ The Great and Underrated Dean Martin Steals the Show
I related to this movie because I'm a musician. The movie takes through the life of a young man who loses everything in search of stardom. But when he finally attains it, to him, it was worth it...great movie, and I haven't seen it in 20 years. even though I'm not a Tony Franciosa fan, his ...

Naked Runner [VHS]
Frank Sinatra, Peter Vaughan
Warner Home Video, 1995
Edgy, minimalist, Frankenheimer-esque
+ Sinatra is magnificant!
+ Sinatra at his best (4.5 stars would be my grade)
An exceptionally tense, minimalist film that truly exudes the whole Cold War era angst and mystery of what lies behind the Iron Curtain. Though Frankenheimer did not direct this classic, it is reminiscent of The Manchurian Candidate, but much more chilling in its unsettling view of Big Brother ...

Stepping Out [VHS]
Liza Minnelli, Jane Krakowski
Paramount, 1998
Should have been a massive hit..............
+ 5,6,7,8!
+ 'Stepping out' with Liza
I've just seen the stage play again............ yet feel that the film is deeper and more descriptive. As I said on the UK site, I know that Richard Harris was unhappy with the re-write of his play for the film, but I think it really works. So did every one else in the audience.
This film is ...
