Black Sunday movie

All the Kind Strangers movie
All the Kind Strangers from 1974 is one of those really weird movies that just doesn’t have much value in my opinion. If, and that is a big if, there is a message, it’s something about helping children who have no one in the world to guide them. …

Bad Boys 2 movie
Something about the thought of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence playing cops makes me want to laugh, and watching the 2003 movie Bad Boys 2 I do plenty of that. Whether it’s the two characters demonstrating their “tandem dance routine”, complaining about the pool in Lawrence’s character’s back yard, …

The Heiress
There is something about these old, black-and-white movies that many contemporary films seem to lack. Depth? Profoundness? The highest quality? Something like that. Granted, not every black and white movie is excellent by definition; I’ve seen some that were rather boring, or so naive that it was almost impossible …

Dead Like Me: Nighthawks
Dead Like Me: Nighthawks is a flashback show, and that confuses me. It’s really too early for a flashback show, but maybe Showtime was trying to get people up to speed on what was happening in the story. Usually, a clip show like this one is an …
Rent movie
I was still in High School when the Broadway musical Rent became a success. I remember asking for the soundtrack for Christmas. It was one musical that I had always wanted to see but never got the opportunity to. Of course when I heard that Sony Pictures was bringing …

Terms Of Endearment (movie)
Terms of Endearment stars two of my favorite actors, Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger. Debra Winger plays Emma, Shirley MacLaine’s character’s daughter. Shirley MacLaine is Aurora. Throw in Jack Nicholson as Aurora’s womanizing, astronaut neighbor, and you have the perfect movie. The opening scene shows Emma still at home, …
Galaxy Quest movie
Actors from an old cult-rated science fiction tv-series are contacted by aliens. Somehow the signals from the tv-series have reached the aliens and they think it has to do with the history of earth, which of course is far from the truth.
The film is a comedy, rather odd one …
DVD: Hidden Places
I enjoyed watching “Hidden Places” very much. Made for television by Hallmark Entertainment, the a wholesome, family-oriented film comfortably entertains without being overly sweet. The family owns an orange grove in California but faces the threat of foreclosure by the bank. If this sounds familiar, it should because it …

major focus of the film is the relationship between Micky and his has-been boxer …
