Airheads
Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi
20th Century Fox, 2001
The Lone Rangers is Plural, There's Three of You, You Aren't Exactly Lone
+ Fun & entertaining
This isn't a varey realistic movie but it is fun. It sort of belongs on the shelf next to "Wayne's World". By this time the basic premise ( I hesitate to say "plot") is well known.
Chazz Darvey, singer guitarist for "The Lone Rangers" (a running joke throughout)has a fight with his beautiful ...

Platinum Disc, 2005
Top-Flight Direction Results In A Highly Enjoyable Film.

Crisscross
Goldie Hawn, Arliss Howard
MGM (Video & DVD), 2004
Add A Star If You Like Goldie Hawn
+ Good coming of age movie
If you do, you'll be in hog heaven as Hawn portrays a piece of beach trash who tries a little late to mend her ways. The relationship between her character and that of her son, who looks to be around 11 or 12 in the film, is one of the enduring accounts in the movies of a mother trying to stay too ...

Slaves of New York
Bernadette Peters, Chris Sarandon
Sony Pictures, 2005
The Artist's Life of the '80s
+ Quintessential New York
+ A Subtle, Dry Masterpiece
I have to admit. This is the movie that made me want to drop everything and move to NYC to become an artist/writer/hat designer/club kid. Of course, I was 16 when I first saw it and wasn't going to be leaving my Colorado suburban abode anytime soon. But it still inspired me to one day visit NYC and ...

Twenty Bucks
Linda Hunt, David Rasche
Sony Pictures, 2005
DVD: It's about frickin' time!
+ cool concept
+ Twenty Bucks
I've eagerly awaited the release of Twenty Bucks on DVD for several years, and am overjoyed that it's finally here. With so much schlock that gets shoveled onto digitial discs these days it's amazing that such a quality flick took so long.
Twenty Bucks is a series of disjointed vignettes, united ...

Walt Disney Video, 2002
Ncole Starkers!
+ Movie Deserves More Attention
+ There is more than violence in organized crime
The only great part of this film? The gorgeous, full-frontal nude body of Nicole Kidman in front of a three-way mirror. Oh yes, she's a natural redhead! Smash that pause button!

Rising Sun

Much Better Audio
+ The Blackmail of a Senator
+ True!
This "Blu-ray" version is excellent. The video portion is much smoother and the audio is "far superior" to the regular DVD. One has to appreciate that this movie was initially released on VHS and the regular DVD of it was not much of an improvement. This blu-ray takes care of all the VHS flaws of ...

Bloodhounds of Broadway
Tony Azito, Matt Dillon
Sony Pictures, 2004
A wonderful introduction to a great writer
+ when madonna could act
+ classic sadly often forgotten still shines
I am a huge fan of Damon Runyon and this is so much in his style it's a delight to watch. The star studded cast play Runyons characters marvelously. If you like this move you will love Runyons books and vice versa.

Me & The Mob
Sandra Bullock, John Costelloe
Legacy Entertainment, 2005
Avoid at all costs
There really should be an option to give a movie zero stars, because this movie deserves it. There are literally no redeeming qualities. The film was supposedly made in 1992, but the picture quality looks more like 1972. The box cover shows Steve Buscemi, but he's only in it for about 30 seconds ...

Reservoir Dogs (15th Anniversary)
Kirk Baltz, Randy Brooks
Lions Gate, 2006
I have a surprise in the trunk of my car. I think you're gonna like it!
+ A Non-Linear, Dialogue Driven Film That Appeals to Any and All Tastes
+ One of the best!!
This is one of my all-time favorite movies! I'm not a big fan of cop & robber movies, but this flick is supurbly done. Even though it revolves around a jewelry store heist, the actual robbery is never shown. It was supposed to be the perfect heist. Everything was planned to the letter. But ...
