LOOK ME IN THE EYE-watching my collection of 2000 plus films. Short reviews of films from my collection. Saturday, August 8, 2015. 2105 - TRAINWRECK, they got that right. Dirty little girl" comedian Amy Schumer attempts to move to a mainstream audience in this updated romantic comedy. Certainly there is nothing wrong with giving the "romcom" genre a kick in the pants but this film just doesn't know when enough is enough. The film was directed by Judd Apatow who is usually criticized for making overlong c...

A film based on the popular Travis McGee series of detective novels. Since I have never read any of these books and am barely aware of the character Travis McGee this was all news to me. Was directed by Robert Clouse whose claim to fame is Enter the Dragon. Sunday, October 26, 2014. Stars larger than life personalities Sophia L...

LOOK ME IN THE EYE-watching my collection of 2000 plus films. Short reviews of films from my collection. Saturday, August 8, 2015. 1993 - JOHN FORD, a film from British director Lindsay Anderson. Film makers can make for strange bedfellows and nothing is stranger than the friendship of Irish/American director John Ford and left leaning, gay British theater and film director Lindsay Anderson. This documentary is Anderson's attempt to explain how much Ford's film have meant to him. ANDREW V. MCLAGLEN.

LOOK ME IN THE EYE-watching my collection of 2000 plus films. Short reviews of films from my collection. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. 1979 - AN ALMOST PERFECT AFFAIR - pretty poor love story. A love story from a good but very erratic director, Michael Ritchie. Ritchie has a very up and down list of films. He would direct good films like Downhill Racer. The Candidate, Smile. And The Bad News Bears. And then there were the bad films. Prime Cut, The Golden Child, Fletch Lives. An Almost Perfect Affair. The film ...

LOOK ME IN THE EYE-watching my collection of 2000 plus films: 1950 - THE ELUSIVE PIMPERNEL, a not very good Powell and Pressburger film to put it mildly.

LOOK ME IN THE EYE-watching my collection of 2000 plus films. Short reviews of films from my collection. Saturday, August 8, 2015. 1950 - THE ELUSIVE PIMPERNEL, a not very good Powell and Pressburger film to put it mildly. A stinker is a stinker even from Powell and Pressburger. The producers Alexander Korda and Samuel Goldwyn persuaded The Archers to remake The Scarlet Pimpernel. However Powell and Pressburger seemed very uninspired considering the end result.

LOOK ME IN THE EYE-watching my collection of 2000 plus films. Short reviews of films from my collection. Saturday, May 30, 2015. 2005 - A SOUND OF THUNDER, B movie time. What could have been the basis for a good science fiction adventure story ended up as a cheap B movie looking mess. Apparently the budget was cut during the production of the film and it sure shows with some very poor special effects. This is the price of computer generated imagery done on the cheap. Friday, May 29, 2015. I guess this is...

LOOK ME IN THE EYE-watching my collection of 2000 plus films. Short reviews of films from my collection. Sunday, August 23, 2015. 1974 - THIEVES LIKE US, boring make that very boring Robert Altman film. This is the kind of self indulgent film that really hurt Robert Altman's career not that he would probably have cared very much. This is a love story/crime drama set in the rural south. Thieves Like Us. Is almost the antithesis of Bonnie and Clyde. At least Bonnie and Clyde. Wednesday, August 19, 2015.

LOOK ME IN THE EYE-watching my collection of 2000 plus films. Short reviews of films from my collection. Sunday, September 28, 2014. 1948 - RED RIVER, Criterion's impressive BLU-RAY. HAWKS DIRECTS WAYNE AND CLIFF. 1994 - RUNAWAY DAUGHTERS, another Joe Dante exploitation film wallow. Joe Dante remakes an old AIP film and not very well. This film was part of a Showtime anthology series called Rebel Highway. At least it's short like a true "B" movie should be. Saturday, September 27, 2014. Has a real claust...
