Concise Film Reviews

By Hollie Pugh

For a long time we have used the video store as one of our main ways to access movies. High speed internet access has now made it possible to download movies right off a movie download site. Below, is a sample of some of the movies you can find using movie download sites.

Austin Powers In Goldmember: Austin is back, and this time he faces not only Dr. Evil, but also a new threat in Goldmember. Dr. Evil is traveling through, and Austin is on the chase. He must save his father Nigel from being captured by Dr. Evil.

Night of the Generals: A WW2 whodunit, movie has potential although gets lost in gloomy script, and inanimate behaviors. It is simply a dud. Cast includes Peter O'Toole, Omar Sharif, Tom Courtenay, Donald Pleasence, Joanna Pettet, and Christopher Plummer. (148 minutes, 1967)

Across the Pacific: This is a WWII spy film which leads us to Panama as two spies engage in a cat and mouse chase. Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Sydney Greenstreet, and Victor Sen Y ung head the cast. (1942 Spy-Drama directed by John Huston)

Strange II1usion: Enthralling however unconvincing melodrama, a B-film update of Hamlet, with teenaged Lydon having questions in regards to slick-talker William who's wooing his widowed mom Eilers. Normally weird William feels in this low-spending limit quickie. Cast includes James Lydon, Sally Eilers, Warren William, and Regis Toomey. (80 minutes, 1945)

Rollerball: Careless Klein follows his high school football teammate (LL Cool J) to a Middle Eastern nation to play roller ball. The film only comes to life near the end with some good songs, containing one by Spade Cooley. Cast includes Chris Klein, Jean Reno, LL Cool J, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos, Naveen Andrews, Oleg Taktarov, David Hemblen, and Paul Heyman. (98 minutes, 2002)

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story: This film is a biography of the life of martial arts superstar, turned actor, Bruce Lee. We follow his life from childhood in Hong Kong, filled with demons, to his exodus to the US, as suggested by his father. In the US he opens a martial arts school, and pursues an acting career.

Alex and The Gypsy: Roaming tale of romance between bail bondsman Lemmon and gypsy Bujold who's implicated of tried murder. Some fascinating notions lost in the mess of an indecisive film. Cast includes Jack Lemmon, Genevieve Bujold, James Woods, Gino Ardito, Robert Emhardt, and Titos Vandis. (99 minutes, 1976)

Big Trouble: Harried coverage sales associate Arkin needs money to send his 3 sons through Yale, so he gets to be engaged with ditsy D'Angelo in a plot to slaughter her loony spouse (Falk). This is pretty stupid stuff, albeit the sardine-flavored liqueur does grant a few giggles. Andrew Bergman wrote the script under the name Warren Bogle. Cast includes Peter Falk, Alan Arkin, Beverly D'Angelo, Charles Durning, Robert Pile, Paul Dooley, Valerie Curtin, and Richard Libertini. (93 minutes, 1985)

Patriot Games: Retired CIA analyst Jack Ryan is vacationing in England when, by complete chance, he finds himself saving a significant member of the Royal Family from an assassination attempt. In the process Jack kills one of the key terrorists younger brothers. Now this faction of the IRA is out to get Jack and his family. Jack Ryan is now out of retirement.
