Some Helpful Film Reviews To Check Out

By Bruce Adkins

It used to be that you had to go to the video store to get a movie. You can now save a trip to the video store and download movies right off the internet. Below is a sample of some of the movies you can find using movie download sites.

The Foxes of Harrow: Lavish however lumbering story of philanderer breaking up his marriage to seek wealth and fame in New Orleans in 1820. Cast includes Rex Harrison, Maureen O'Hara, Richard Haydn, Champ McLaglen, Vanessa Brown, Patricia Medina, and Gene Lockhart. (117 minutes, 1947)

Let's Make Up Lila Says: A Marseille adolescent on the verge of manhood considers becoming an author; however he's broke, ghettoized, and pressured by his peers to be a loser till he meets a blond bombshell who kindles his literary link, and then some. Faintly surreal myth of modern day French Arabian relationships stays lightweight and nymphet fixated till its unavoidable bittersweet ending. Cast includes Valtina Giocante, Mohammed Khouas, Karim Ben Haddou, Lotfi Chakri, and Edmonde Franchi. (90 minutes, 2005)

Jackson County Jail: Captive Yvette is dumped on by everyone she meets. So she goes on the lam with another inmate in yet a new chase movie. Livelier than most, this one has developed a cult notoriety. Miller later redid it for Television. Cast includes Yvette Miruieux, Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Carradine, Frederic Chef, Severn Darden, Howard Hesseman, and Mary Woronov. R.' (89 minutes, 1976)

Holiday: First rendition of Philip Barry's play in reference to non-conformity is a delightful film. An untidy early talkie with projecting that in some cases Astor, Owsley even tops the more renowned 1938 rendition. Horton plays the identical role in both films. Cast includes Ann Harding, Robert Ames, Mary Astor, Edward Everett Horton, Hedda Basket, and Monroe Owsley. (96 minutes, 1930)

Baseketball: Infrequently ludicrous gross-out comedy in regards to 2 goofballs who create a driveway basketball game that eventually becomes popular all over the country, and turns them into great players. Some ludicrous gags, although a surprisingly walker storyline makes it droop. Cast includes Trey Parker, Matt Rock, Yasmine Bleeth, Jenny McCarthy, Robert Vaughn, Ernest Borgnine, and Robert Pile. (103 minutes, 1998)

Buffalo Soldiers: In 1989, the peacetime U.S. Army stationed in Germany is largely manned by men who had an option of penitentiary or time in the service. One of them (Phoenix) is a salesperson who wheels and deals, Bilko-like, under the nose of his naive commander (Harris) till a new top sergeant shows up (Glenn) who's decided to clean things up. Cast includes Joaquin Phoenix, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Anna Paquin, Elizabeth McGovern, Michael Pena, Leon Robinson, Gabriel Mann, and Dean Stockwell. (98 minutes, 2003)

Dennis The Menace: This is a movie version of the 1950's comic strip. With his parents out of town Dennis is staying with the neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. As usual Dennis is making life miserable for poor Mr. Wilson.

Dying Young: Aimless youthful lady replies to a newspaper ad and becomes nurse/friend to a 28-year old rich kid who's stricken with leukemia. Eventually they fall in love. As perfect stage for Roberts' charms and as love tale it has its good moments. Cast includes Julia Roberts, Scott, Vincent Donofrio, David Selby, and Ellen Bursty. (105 minutes, 1991)

Friday Night Lights: High school football in Dillon Texas is as big as anything gets. When Eric Taylor comes in to coach the Panthers, the expectations are high. This movie shows the intense pressure and huge hopes the town puts on its team.
