HIDE AND SEEK (2005): Deniro and Fanning "thriller" with a "twist" that we all NEVER saw coming....
Pretty good buildup, not so good resolution. Sigh.
STRANGER FROM VENUS (1954): Reminiscent of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL without Gort to set the mood; lady "falls" for mysterious spaceman.
TWISTED (2004): Ashley Judd as a slutty female cop who is convinced by a serial killer that SHE is the killer; Samuel L. Jackson in a role beneath himself.
CRASH (2005): I had to see what all the fuss was about; pretty good flick that continued to beat "racism is bad" over our heads; Don Cheadle is always fun and shines here.
TRAINING DAY (2001): Denzel as a baaaaad cop - is he corrupt though or just doing his J-O-B? This one had me hooked for a while, but just became a bit too unbelievable.
MANOS: HANDS OF FATE, MST3000 Version: What can be said about Manos that has not already been said? In the words of Joel, "DO SOMETHING!!!"
TRUST THE MAN (2005): Romantic comedy showcasing the "Men From Mars, Women from Venus" stereotype. Started out good with some fun humor, but in the end, what was the point? Got kinda cliche there in the last act.
NIGHT CREATURES (1962): Grand Moff Tarkin as priest with Emo Phillipps hairdo; really, though, I throroughly enjoyed this Hammer production. Well conceived, well directed and well acted, and the visual fx of the phantoms were top-notch for the time and even by today's standards.
I highly recommend this one.THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN (1962): Another Hammer film with Cushing in title role. This is a sequel to THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and involved the monster hypnotized!! Great stuff, and Cushing's Doctor is sympathetic rather than abhorrent.
CHERRY 2000 (1988): Melanie Griffith kickin butt. Okay, well maybe not so much, but still a fun flick. The highlights were Tim Thomerson's Lester character's over-the-top psychopathology (and touchy-feeley leadership style) and of course Ben Johnson. Worth a look if you like (a) sappy 80's romantic movie music in a sci-fi, (b)a blown out Ford Mustang, or (c) Melanie Griffith with red hair. And who among us wouldn't like all those in a movie?
