From The Beginning

For years now, the video store was the way to get movies. Now, with internet usage exploding, movie downloads are becoming very popular. Just about any movie every made can be attained through a movie download site now. Check out these samples.

Communion: Mental thriller with Walken well cast as author Whitley Strieber, who finds himself visited by odd beings. Does he need a psychiatrist or an exorcist? A tad long in the tooth and the dramatic scenes between Walken and spouse Crouse don’t really work. The movie still has some good moments. Cast includes Christopher Walken, Lindsay Crouse, Frances Sternhagen, Andreas Katsulas, Terri Hanauer, Joel Carlson, and Basil Hoffman. (107 minutes, 1977)

Shooter: Retired Marine Corp Sniper Bob Lee Swagger is asked to come to Washington, to help track another sniper that will try to kill the President. What happens to him next is a total shock. The same US government people that he is helping are actually setting him up to take the fall for the assassination. He somehow escapes when he is shot, and is now on the run. He is also ready to fight back.

The Gaucho: Cheesy melodramatics and moralizing, and not enough action hinder this lesser Fairbanks piece, in which he plays a famed, egocentric South American man. Cast includes Douglas Fairbanks, Lupe Velez, Eve Southern, Gustav von Seyffertitz, Nigel de Brulier, and Geraine Greear. (96 minutes, 1927)

The Three Muskateers: Musketeers Athos, Porthos, and Aramis join young D’Artagnan in an attempt to stop Cardinal Richelieu, who is plotting to form an alliance with the English. The Musketeers are abandoned, and asked to throw down their swords. These three refuse, and along with D’Artagnan will try and save France.

The Addiction: A New York University philosophy student is about to have her world turned upside down. She is bitten by a ruthless female vampire, and is now a blood thirsty vampire herself. Lili Taylor, Christopher Walken, Annabella Sciorra, and Edie Falco star. (1995 horror-vampire directed by Abel Ferrara)

The Great Race: Long, occasionally ludicrous, often labored comedy, not the best ever made as promoted. Fight pattern and barroom fight are highlights, although the pie quarrel falls flat, other gimmicks don’t work. This is absolutely a mixed box, albeit Natalie looked much better than she did in “The Darling Shrub.” Cast includes Tony Curtis, Natalie Wood, Jack Lemmon, Peter Falk, Keenan Wynn, Larry Storch, and George Macready. (150 minutes, 1965)

Lovers: Aristocrat Mastroianni has a fictional spouse; an organ grinder persuades prostitute Mori to “impersonate” her. While it’s not stupid, it’s unexciting. Cast includes Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Mori, Lino Morelli, Plant life Carabella, and Adriano Celentano. (93 minutes, 1976)

Lunatics A Love Tale: Raimi is a pleasant paranoid, restricted by his doubts to his desolate L.A. condo. Foreman is convinced that she causes everyone she cares for to die. Strange lowbudget comedy has genuine, if off beat, charm. Cast includes Theodore Raimi, Deborah Foreman, Bruce Campbell, Brian McCree, Eddie Rosmaya, and Michele Stacey. (87 minutes, 1992)

Money Train: Two unlikely foster brothers John, a black man, and Charlie, a white man, are both transit cops in New York. Charlie is up to his neck in bad gambling debts, and he decides it is time to do something he and John always dreamed about. Rob the money train. Will he be able to pull it off?

The Little Vampire: A 9-year-old California schoolboy moves to Scotland and makes buddies with a 9-year-old vampire who sucks him into his planet and shows him the time of his life. Lipnicki is cute as unconditionally, although Weeks robs the show as his vampire buddy. Cast includes Jonathan Lipnicki, Richard E. Permit, Alice Krige, Anna Popplewell, Jim Carter, John Wood, Pamela Gidley, and Rollo Weeks. (96 minutes, 2000)

Marius: Entertaining, flavorful if a tad too theatrical satire of provincial life, focusing on the love of Marius Fresnay for Fanny Demazis. Raimu is amazing as Cesar, restaurant owner and dad of Marius. All 3 were the structure of the play and film FANNY 1961 Cast includes Raimu, Pierre Fresnay, Charpin, Alida Rouffe, and Drane Demazis. (125 minutes, 1931)

The Broadway: Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers re-teamed after 10 years in this clever Comedy. Green script in reference to show biz couple who split, then make up. Melodies contain “You’d Be Difficult to Substitute,” “They Couldn’t Take That Away from Me.” Ginger scanning “La Marseillaise” is a certain low point. Cast includes Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Oscar Levant, Billie Burke, and Gale Robbins. (109 minutes, 1949)

Just for You: Tangy lyrical of creator Crosby who might be bothered with his growing kids, until Wyman shows him the way. Delightful Harry Warren-Leo Robin score, highlighted by “Zing a Little Zlng.” Cast includes Bing Crosby, Jane Wyman, Ethel Barrymore, Bob Arthur, Natalie Wood, and Cora Witherspoon, Regis Toomey. (104 minutes, 1952)

The Hurricane: The true story of Rubin ‘Hurricane’ Carter, a middleweight title contender, who had his dreams of a boxing title abruptly ended when he was falsely arrested and convicted of a triple homicide.

They are up against staunch racism at every turn, but eventually Hurricane is set free.

Mac: Stone-dense story of a trio of Italian-American brothers in Monarchs, New York, throughout the mid-1950s. The eldest Turturro, a carpenter, is fiercely determined to fathom his American Fantasy, so he starts up his own construction corporation. Stuffed with eccentric humor, however most reinvigorating as a authentic portrayal of the lives and battles of blue-collar Americans. Turturro’s directorial debut; he co-scripted with Brandon Cole. The film is committed to Turturro’s dad, a carpenter, and injured by the senior Turturro’s life. Cast includes John Turturro, Michael Badalucco, Carl Capotorto, Katherine Borowitz, John Amos, Olek Krupa, Ellen Barkin, and Joe Paparone. (118 minutes, 1992)
