The Silencer 2.5 stars. This 1966 HD transfer looked very good for its time. This movie is a bonds type movie but made in 1966. The plot is weak but the girls are beautiful. I like the part where Dean Martin tells to change the station because they are playing Frank Sinatra. The station is changed by the girl and it is playing him and he likes it. In the cave scene the HD can make you see that the cave has plastic walls. I liked the movie because of the girls...

Tiger Cage 2.5 stars. An action kung fu movie mixed with drugs, lies, gangs, etc. I am not much into actions movies but this one kept me until the end. I wanted to see it in the light that Tiget Cage 2 will be aired on March.

Jason goes to Hell: The Final Friday 2.0 stars. if you are into the final the 13th movies, by all means watch it. If you are not, don't. I did not like it very much... The end was interested... Freddy, from the Nightmare movies, appears and takes Jason with him to hell.

Merton: A Film Biography - 2.5 stars: PQ pretty grainy and rather funky, but Merton had a pretty interesting life -- too bad more of it wasn't filmed. And I would've liked to have seen more actual footage from the one speech they had. All in all, though, interesting enough that I'll look for some of his books on my next trip to the library.

Friday The 13th - 4 stars: Awesome. Thrilling, smart, suspenseful, gory creepfest. Loved it. A true classic with some classic kill scenes. Last half hour is excellent, with Mrs. Voorhees as creepy as creepy can be. PQ pretty darned good. Sound good, but I didn't particularly care for the music itself and thought it all could have been more surroundy.

Friday the 13th Part II is even better, check out Terrie's behind. Yumm!!!

Is it really? I'm not much of a horror fan (not to mention I was just a child when the first one came out!), and haven't seen it. I was real surprised at just how good the original was -- I was under the impression that these were just plain stupid. Did they get stupid somewhere down the line?

It was on Hd-net movies a few months back, I put on a Replay and still have not watched yet... soon

Of course they're stupid! That's what makes them good. Part II was good though, and Terry made it all the better. ;-)

All Dogs Go To Heaven - 2.5 stars : Animated gangsta dogs straight thuggin' in the bayou. At first glance I thought this flick was sending some pretty questionable messages regarding violence, gambling. But it more or less redeemed itself by the end with messages of loyalty, friendship, redemption. Dom DeLuise is instantly recognizable as the voice of Itchy, while I had to check the credits to learn that it was indeed Burt Reynolds as the voice of Charlie. PQ okay, sound less than exciting.

Microcosmos - 5 stars: Friggin' awesome. Loved it. This is not a traditional documentary -- this one is bad-ass, though perhaps a little on the artsy-fartsy side for some. And if you're easily offended by bug violence or steamy snail-on-snail action, this may not be the documentary for you. Everyone else settle in for a bugged-out thrill ride with some cool time-lapse sequences and vibrant colors that pop off the screen. Stunning pq, creatively and beautifully shot. Crank up the volume for a spectacularly immersive surround treatment that lays you down in the middle of French meadow and leaves you swattin' the bugs away from your ears -- I could almost hear heavy breathing coming from the porno snails. The highlight for me would have to be the rainstorm about forty-five minutes into the show. Of course, I'm a sucker for super-slow-mo raindrops -- not to mention thumpin' bass that you can feel slam into your chest. But if you can only catch five minutes, I'd suggest those minutes be spent with the storm. Perhaps more art than true documentary, but a great way to spend some time.

Wow, I will have to check Microcosmos

Wow, I will have to check Microcosmos

I think you'll dig it. A little of my review was tongue-in-cheek (I wouldn't really classify the snail sex as "porno" -- but the way the audio was done, heavy breathing wouldn't have surprised me!). But I really did enjoy the hell out this. Listen to it loud if ya can (there's a little narration by Kristin Scott Thomas, but not much -- and the rest sounds sweet).

The Taste of Others - 4 stars: Although a great title for a porn film, it's about embracing the differences in others, while loving yourself for being different. We all judge people because they are not like us, but if you listen and learn you will see that all people have something unique to offer. Warning: this is foreign film (French) with subtitles and the first 30 minutes are a bit slow...however, it's still an excellent film.

The Wrecking Crew - 2.5 stars: Ok, the Matt Helm series were a poor imitation of the legendary James Bond 007 films. I watched this movie while doing chores and, quite honestly, can't tell you the plot other than good guy bags all the chicks, defeats evil-doers, and saves the world. Probably a 1.5 star movies, but hey...this is Dean Martin, hot '60s women and politically incorrect male bravado. Dean Martin may not be able to throw a decent punch, but he sure packs one hell of a sexist punchline. Good GuyTV movie when you've seen everything else.

The Ambushers - 2 stars: I'll just ditto this with my above review of The Wrecking Crew - substitute the women, poor special affects, and a tad goofier plot and it's the same movie. It must be Matt Helm day on GuyTV.

.... or steamy snail-on-snail action....

That's hot.

***

I'm glad they're running it (caught a few minutes recently). I hadn't seen it for a while.

 

[DarrellP]

Steamed escargots! This was a great show, but a tad soft when I watched it.

 

[TheTimm]

The Silence Of The Lambs - 5 stars : So good. And unbelievably creepy. More suspense than any ten of your regular ol' "horror" flicks. Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster are excellent, as is the supporting cast. And what a story. They don't get much better than this.

 

[TheTimm]

Look Who's Talking Too - 1 star: "Hey, let's go get some pork!". That's the only line in this bomb of a one-trick pony that I found even a little amusing. Their particular one trick isn't so funny anymore, what with this being a sequel to a no-so-funny movie that used the same one trick. Talking babies and toilet humor mixed with foul language and crackpipe & gun jokes make it difficult to figure out who the target audience is. I'm guessin' that whoever the target was -- they missed it. On the bright side the PQ was pretty good and I was pleasantly surprised by how detailed the surround mix was -- not a bad soundtrack either.

 

[TheTimm]

Stolen Summer - 3 stars: A quirky little movie about a quirky little kid who spends his summer on a "quest" to put himself on the path to Jesus by converting his Jewish friend so he can get into the Catholic version of Heaven when he dies of leukemia. Not the stuff of a light-hearted comedy, but there are a few laughs along the way as they deal with some pretty heavy themes -- and deal with them well. Bonnie Hunt, Aidan Quinn, and Eddie Kaye Thomas are good. Kevin Pollack is exceptional. Characters are interesting, and well-developed.

TheTimm you are having a banquet today with all these movies... I haven't been able to watch any yet.
