Tremors (1990)
This walks the fine line of tongue and cheek with style and grace!
How can you not love a movie with so many throw-away lines like Victor Wongs' "Earl, here are some swiss cheese and bullets.!"? What every parody movie tries for and fails, this film has in spades. Fast faced with laughs for all. Reba McEntire and Michael Gross are tops with their survivalist prepared to fight everything, but not something coming through the ground. Fred Ward and Kevin Bacon work together better than Laurel and Hardy, and Finn Carter is outstanding. Writing is sharp. Directing great. Another gem from Gale Anne Hurd.
Ransom (1974)
Strong Performances by Connery and Mc Shane
Strong performances by leads Sean Connery and Ian Mc Shane, backed good action segments, pacing and fine winter locations. Poor editing in some spots causes the film to seem a bit stiff as does some inferior dubbing. Nice twists. Connery's always a pleasure to watch, and Mc Shane's bad guy provides an interesting touch as the head terrorist.
The Great Riviera Bank Robbery (1979)
A neglected fast-paced action film
I have seen this film several times and impressed with its sharp action. It almost has a slight documentary feel to it.
I am really surprised this film is not wider known. It was on video several years back, but then withdrawn. I have been begging for a copy for years and hope it will be re released soon.
