Movie Reviews

By Donald Singleton

It used to be that you had to go to the video store to get a movie. Instead of buying or renting the dvd, people now can choose a movie download instead. Here are some examples of movies you can acquire through a movie download site.

The Mexican: Hardly satisfactory, overlong caper comedy featuring America's darlings as a arguing couple who individually get engaged with thugs all around the Southwest and Mexico. When Pitt seeks down the titular weapon, an antique pistol, among every possible disaster, Roberts and mobster Gandolfini become irrepressible buddies. Gandolfini, predictably, robs the show. Gene Hackman appears unbilled. Cast includes Brad Pitt, Julia Robert" James Gandolfini, J.K. Simmons, Michael Cerveris, Bob Balaban, David Krumholtz, and Steve Rossi. (123 minutes, 2001)

A Goofy Movie: Ever-lovable Goofy takes his child, Max, on a street-trip vacation. However, it's a lifestyle conflict between the '90s boy and his old-styled dad. Easy and simple Disney animation characteristic for babies with a handful of serviceable melodies and a fine "message" in regards to dad-child relations. No Disney classic, although delightful enough. Cast includes Jason Marsden, Jim Cummings, Kellie Martin, Pillage Paulsen, Wallace Shawn, and Pat Buttra. (78 minutes, 1995)

The Frozen Dead: Weird account of scientist Andrews who iced up group of top Nazis, now trying to refresh them and the Third Reich; careless production values harm story. This was originally filmed theatrically in black and white. Cast includes Dana Andrews, Anna Palk, Philip Gilbert, Kathleen Breck, Karel Stepanek, and Edward Fox. (95 minutes, 1996)

Rock Rock Rock: Weld, in her film debut and hardly out of her teaching bra, needs to raise $30 to purchase a strapless late afternoon outfit for a prom. A lot of rock and roll music throughout the film. Cast includes Tuesday Weld, Teddy Randazzo, Alan Freed, Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers, The Moonglows; Chuck Berry, The Flamingos, Johnny Burnette Trio, and Lavern Baker. (83 minutes, 1956)

All at Sea: Strong comedy that keeps its own all the way through. Guinness is adorable as sailor who couldn't bear sight of water although purchases rundown home-encumbered wharf, turning it into an entertainment palace. Primordial title: Barnacle Bill. Cast includes Alec Guinness, Irene Browne, Percy Herbert, and Harold Goodwin. (87 minutes, 1957)

Star Trek: Insurrection: The Ba'ku live on a planet with special powers, it is like a fountain of youth. Learning of this planet's magic powers, Starfleet leaders want to access this 'gold mine of a planet' for there own uses. Jean-Luc Picard, and the Enterprise crew must choose to obey the order, and force the Ba'ku to leave, or disobey Starfleet, and fight to save the planet for the Ba'ku.

Inferno: American returns to N.Y. from examines in Rome to examine the hideous slay of his sibling, and finds "sinister mommies" wreaking paranormal chaos on both sides of Atlantic. Surreal, spellbinding shocker by Italian terror maestro Argento is small on sense, although long on fashion. Cast includes Leigh McCloskey, Irene Marvel, Sacha Pitoeff, Daria Nicolodi, Eleonora Giorgi, Veronica Lazar, and Alida Valli. (107 minutes, 1984)

Cry of the Banshee: Sorcerer Dona Bergner conjures servant of Satan to avenge nobleman Cost's bloody reign of sorcerer-seeking. Bewilderment sets in halfway. Cast includes Vincent Cost, Elisabeth Bergner, Essy Persson, Griffith, Hilary Dwyer, Sally Geeson, and Patrick Mower. (87 minutes, 1970)

Airport: Weak, later Laurel and Hardy comedy. One conceivably excellent scene with dull-burn master Kennedy doesn't meet anticipations. Cast includes Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Edgar Kennedy, Jacqueline White, Horace Stephen McNally, and Donald Modest. (67 minutes, 1943)

If your looking for downloads, type in "Downloading DVDs" to a search engine, see if you find something good. If the first search proves ineffective type in something different. Switch to "Downloadable Online Movies" and see if you find what you are looking for.
