Wonderful Mystery & Sister-Sister Deadly Duo
Faith Severn (Bonham-Carter) tells us the story of her Aunts Vera and Eden. Faith stayed with them as a child during WWII when London was being bombed so she has the chance to witness their relationship turn from morbid closeness to conflict and hostility culminating in murder. It is a riveting piece of work and I was glued to the tv set the entire time. Of special interest is a plotline that ...

Not bad...
Making a review for this movie isn't so hard. In fact, the movie is so simple and goes right to what he's made, to scare people, and do very well. Teenagers goes to the woods camping and one by one are kill by an mysterious murder. Some scenes are well made, and thinking about you could be there in all that darkness, that's scare you. Of course this movie is just fun, don't waste the money, in ...

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid
My five stars for Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid are primarily for Miklos Rozsa's beautiful and serious musical score, which stands alone by itself.

Newer film noir entry
A dark, twisted thriller about an ex-prizefighter, lately escaped from a mental hospital, who gets mixed up in a kidnapping scheme that goes awry. The fighter, played very well by Jason Patric, is brighter and more human than the two he gets mixed up with - Bruce Dern and a miscast Rachel Ward. Patric falls desperately and hopelessly in love with Ward. In fact, everything in the movie, which is ...

Rachel Ward nudes scenes well worth the price
This movie will never win an academy award, but the nude scenes are worth it. I saw Rachel Ward in "dead men dont wear plaid" with steve martin, smokin hot. this movie has her only nude scenes. reason enough, I think so.

Watch for the Birds
C. Columbus: The Discovery DVD This movie is probably the most historically accurate film that I've seen, so far, on Christopher Columbus. Contrary to what you might have been taught in elementary school the intelligentsia did not think the world was flat. They thought the world was round and was approximately 25,000 miles in circumference at the equator. Columbus thought the ...

nice prequel to Jane Eyre
Many reviewers here did not like this, but I found it quite interesting. You get the young Rochester, and this time around his pre-crazy wife is shown completely sympathetically, like a victim of his insensitivity rather than the curse hidden away (that he had to bear due to fate alone). In my opinion, this adds depth to the characters. It is easy, of course, to interpret her insanity as ...

Against All Odds

Too Hot to Handle
Expert opinion says that since the advent of color film, a good contemporary noir film is an L.A. noir film; that seems to be largely so, except then you've got "Body Heat," set in Florida. Be that as it may, "Against All Odds" is an LA noir film: it profits from the unique atmosphere of Los Angeles, the sinister corruption behind the sunny smile; the reality of arid desert behind the ...

Powerful and moving story.
I didn't expect much at the beginning of this film but was surprised by the intensity and power of the story. The acting is great and the casting worked perfectly with the characters. Bobbie (Rachel Ward) is struggling to deal with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer and who finds out that she's the guardian of her orphaned nephew. Bailey (Bernadette Peters) is her partner who does some major ...

Great Movie!
I love this movie! It's a true story and that makes it even better. I ordered a VHS tape so my grand daughter could handle it without "scratching it" like a CD. It was in great shape.

I agree enthusiastically with all the reviews here. First of all, why it isn't on DVD is beyond me as well. This movie as a drama has it all! It moved me so much the first time I saw it that I went back to the theatre four times that week. When the soundtrack came out I bought it and would give that five stars as well. Why I think this tugs at the heart strings of all who see it is that it works ...
