Andrew McCarthy, Jennifer Dundas

Warner Home Video, 1994

A FAVORITE
This one of three movies ("Benji" being one and "The Adventures of Milo and Otis" being the other) that I did not edit before showing other peoples' children. I love it for its family spirit and its good lessons. It has a plot and children will actually sit through it, ...

Elvis - The Lost Performances

Ashley McCarthy, Charlie Haas

MGM (Warner), 1997

ELVIS ROCKS
"DON'T CRY DADDY", "IN THE GHETTO", "HOW GREAT THOU ART", "THE WONDER OF YOU". THESE ARE ONLY A FEW OF THE GREAT SONGS THAT WERE CUT FROM ELVIS'S LIVE PERFORMANCES. STILL CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHY. ELVIS ALSO DOES A MEDLEY OF SOME OF HIS OLDER SONGS...QUITE ...

Being Human

Robin Williams, Maudie Johnson

Warner Home Video, 1995

under rated
"Being Human" is one of those movies you either hate or you love. For some it is slow and the historical vignettes uninteresting. I, personally, find the storytelling thread does an excellent job of interconnecting the five time periods covered (pre-history, ancient ...

Year of the Comet

Penelope Ann Miller, Tim Daly

Polygram Video, 1998

"I can't believe we're doing all this for a beverage."
Tim Daly seems to be known more for his moments on television than for his ventures into motion picture. He really just doesn't have a lot of defining roles in cinema. In the small screen, he starred memorably in WINGS and then, more recently, in the very short lived ...

40 Pounds of Trouble

Tony Curtis, Suzanne Pleshette

Universal Studios, 1996

Big Curtis Comedy
This has always been one of my favorite Tony Curtis films. Curtis as Steve McCluskey runs a Nevada hotel-casino for big wheel Bernie Friedman, played to the hilt by Phil Silvers, where a losing customer leaves his small daughter (Claire Wilcox) and in typical situation ...

Class

Jacqueline Bisset, Rob Lowe

Good Times Video, 2001

Is This Supposed To Be A Comedy Or A Drama? Please Advise
In this movie we see Andrew McCarthy playing a Major League Geek by the name of Jonathon who dosen't have much success with women.Poor guy. His best friend Skip, played by Rob Lowe gives him $100 to go to the Big City where hopefully he can lose his virginity!!! Gee. ...

Pretty in Pink

Molly Ringwald, Harry Dean Stanton

Paramount, 1992

Molly's best John Hughes film.
"Pretty in Pink" is one of my very favorite movies. John Hughes did a brilliant job with this film! He put Molly Ringwald with a brilliant cast that was amazing and he touched on the touchy subject of social class in High School very well. (May Contain Spoilers) ...

Night of the Running Man

Andrew McCarthy, Alex Zonn

Lions Gate/Trimark Home Ent., 1995

run to rent or buy this one
This movie is great and I was very lucky to pick it up at the local video store for only a dollar. Good copy too. Andrew McCarthy plays a cabdriver who picks up a passenger who has a million dollars in his suitcase. Pretty soon they are involved in a car chase and the ...

Ghoulies 3

Marcia Wallace, Evan MacKenzie

Vestron Video, 1993

HOT!!
The best part is when the ghoulies kill that hot girl with the plunger in the shower and when she falls on the floor her feet stick up in the air she has good looking feet and legs its a very hott part

Fresh Horses

Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy

Sony Pictures, 2000

A Very Good (But Sad) Movie
All of these bad reviews confuse a movie they didn't like with a badly made movie. This is a very well made movie, with perfectly competent performances. The tone is quite serious, and the ending won't cheer anyone up. But then there are many people who loved Titanic, ...

Mannequin (1987)

Andrew McCarthy, Kim Cattrall

MGM (Video & DVD), 2000

Mannequin is no dummy
Love this movie, it's a shame the 2nd one was crap. Excellent 80's movie about a guy who lands a job working for a Department Store where he meets a mannequin who comes alive. Great music. Love the dance sequence to the song 'Do you dream about me' Kim ...

Heaven Help Us (1985)

Donald Sutherland, John Heard

Hbo Home Video, 1998

Forgotten Gem...
Great coming of age movie set in a Catholic school in Brooklyn during the 60s. Know as `Catholic Boys' in the UK, I first watched this film on TV after initially never heard of it before. Even though the film is set in a Catholic school during the sixties, most ...

No Good Deed (Dol Slip)

Samuel L. Jackson, Milla Jovovich

Sony Pictures, 2004

THRILLING PSYCHOLOGICAL CAPER THAT SPREADS ITSELF THIN
The script pecks in every conceivable direction, and a few inconceivable ones, but surely not as terribly as the reviews would suggest. It held my attention throughout its winded course. The suspense scenes are fabulously constructed, revolving around universally ...

The Hill

Sean Connery, Harry Andrews

MGM (Warner), 1996

Underrated WWII Drama
The Hill, undeservingly, has been a much underrated Sean Connery movie. It was filmed in 1965, in black and white, and without any of the typical Hollywood special effects. It relied solely on the intense acting and brutal plot. British actor Harry Andrews, as ...

Under the Volcano

Albert Finney, Jacqueline Bisset

Universal Home Video, 2002

An Existential Epic!!!
Firstly, I have never read the cult novel which is the basis of the film. I am reviewing the film as just that - a film - and what a film this is! A class act - and an acting class all-in-one. Albert Finney is pitch-perfect in every instance: voice and body language ...
