Mission to Mars (2000)
What a smarmy disappointment!!!
I am still waiting for something to happen! What a boring, sickly sweet, "Disney" sci-fi! One critic said in my local paper that if, "you've seen the ads, you've seen all the good parts..." HOW TRUE!! This movie just went on and on and on......and you think that you'll get a good pay-off? A big wham-bam ending? Nope. Just some smarmy, kissy kissy, kiddie cartoon ending! It was a bit much when they all stood around holding hands, but when you saw "the tear", well, I almost had to get a insulin shot! The ending was so poorly done, I REALLY thought that it was a Disney animation! Almost all of the plot was filler and time waster, and didn't really connect to the story line very well. I was VERY disappointed in both Gary Sinise and Tim Robbins. They both looked and acted like they could have phoned in their parts. Very boring and stereotypical roles and I guess they both had a hard time getting interested in the whole thing, because it comes off in the acting!
Wing Commander (1999)
Das Boot meets Star Wars meets Tora, Tora, Tora or any 1950's war movie....
I couldn't decide what movie I was watching..... Other than the veteran actors and their decent acting, there is really nothing original about this movie! Everything about it has either come from Das Boot, Star Wars, Tora, Tora, Tora or any war movie from the 50's!
I was waiting for someone to bring out an old victrola and play WW2 songs when the `depth charges' were being dropped. I half expected Jürgen Prochnow to say `up periscope'. I almost lost interest when Blair discovered he had `the FORCE'........ I agree SOME of the special effects were decent, and yes it gave a realistic side to the future, i.e. beat up ships etc. but that has been done in many other SciFi movies too. This movie has nothing original to offer! Good time waster to watch while waiting for Mission to Mars to open at the theaters!!
Gang Bang (1985)
Hot group action!!
This movie was pretty hot! Of course any movie with Christy Cannon, Erica Boyer and Nina Hartley is a sure fire hit! The gang bang involving Christy Canyon was amazing, as was Erica Boyer's scene! It looked like the cast was enjoying themselves in this flick! I must say that the lesbian scene between Karen Summer and Jessica Wylde was very hot but far too short, ending just as it started to boil!
Very good production value, good lighting and hot, sexy, good-looking actors!
Just My Luck (1957)
Before Mr. Bean there was Norman.....
I caught this movie on TV on night many years ago, and I still remember laughing so hard I had a stomach ache! Norman Wisdom is one of the funniest men in film. Just the eclair eating scene alone is worth renting this or catching it on the late, late show one night. If you see it, don't miss it. You will go to bed giggling!
