Quick Write Ups Of A Varied Collection Of Silver Screen Movies

By Brad Taylor

Take a look at some movie reviews we have prepared. You can find a lot of information on movie downloads sites if you do a good search. To get some good sites try to search phrases like "Download Ringtones", "New Movie Rental Releases", or "Online DVD Rental Service".

Doughboys: This is one of Buster Keaton's poorest films, a tiresome Army comedy. The rude sergeant (Brophy) overrides the few laughs. Cast includes Buster Keaton, Sally Eilers, Cliff Edwards, and Edward Brophy. (79 minutes, 1930)

Me without You: A timid and tender Williams and a straight and extroverted Friel have been best friends as long as they can remember, however as they come of age their kinship is compromised. This somewhat captivating chick flick has some good scenes, but it doesn't quite gel. Cast includes Anna Friel, Michelle Williams, Oliver Milburn, Trudie Styler, Marianne Denicourt, Steve John Shepherd, Nicky Henson, Allan Corduner, Kyle MacLachlan, and Anna Popplewell. (107 minutes, 2001)

The Sugarland Express: An amusing tale, based on truth, in regards to a youthful couple escaping to Sugarland, Texas, to recover their child (whom they want back after giving the child up for adoption), and the cops who chase them all the way through Texas. Cast includes Goldie Hawn, Ben Johnson, Michael Sacks, William Atherton, Steve Kanaly, and Louise Latham. (109 minutes, 1974)

The Far Country: Cattleman Stewart, a verified hermit, brings his herd to Alaska and finds nothing but trouble. A different Western set against vibrant backdrop of mining camp towns. Cast includes James Stewart, Ruth Roman, Corinne Calvet, Walter Brennan, John McIntire, Harry Morgan, Jack Elam, Robert Wilkie, Connie Gilchrist, and Kathleen Freeman. (97 minutes, 1955)

Metropolis: A classic silent film fantasy of a futuristic city and its mechanized civilization, with an upper class young man leaving behind his life of luxury to join overpowered employees in revolt. Cast includes Brigitte Helm, Alfred Abel, Gustav Froelich, Rudolf Klein-Rogge, and Fritz Rasp. (124 minutes, 1927)

House of the Dead: This is a low-grade terror film, based on the video game, which charts the predictable destinies of some addle brained youngsters drawn to an island inhabited by zombies. Sloppily made and mind numbingly inept. Cast includes Jonathan Cherry, Tyron Leitso, Clint Howard, Ona Grauer, Ellie Cornell, Can Sanderson, and Enuka Okuma. (92 minutes, 2003)

Strange Behavior: This shocker in regards to a grisly murder in a tiny Midwestern town (shot in New Zealand!) received inexplicably excellent reviews in numerous places. You wonder what all the excitement was in reference to. Cast includes Michael Murphy, Louise Fletcher, Dan Shore, Fiona Lewis, Arthur Dignam, Scott Brady, and Charles Aisle. (98 minutes, 1981)

The League of Gentlemen: An ex-army colonel enlists the help of prior officers (through blackmail) to pull off a large bank heist. High-style British humor makes this story of crime a pleasure. Cast includes Jack Hawkins, Nigel Patrick, Roger Livesey, Richard Attenborough, Bryan Forbes, Kieron Moore, Robert Coote, and Nanette Newman. (114 minutes, 1960)

Chicago Ten: An exclusive documentary approach to the tumultuous occurrences of 1968 when opposing groups appeared in Chicago to dispute the status quo, and the battle in Vietnam, throughout the Democratic Nationwide Convention. The film is balanced with excited renderings of the event and its trouble makers (taken verbatim from court transcripts), which became the show of the ridiculous. Without narration, talking head interviews, period music, or considerably situational material, this narrowly concentrated film grants a spiritual, compassionate, and instant portrait of a pivotal occurrence in American history. Cast includes Voices of Hank Azaria, Dylan Baker, Mark Ruffalo, Roy Scheider, Notch Nolte, Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Wright, and James Urbaniak. (110 minutes, 2008)
