Hope Ranch (2002 TV Movie)

A great TV movie.

[10/10 · 28 July 2013]

When this TV movie came out back in 2002 on Animal Planet, I watched "Hope Ranch" when it aired on Animal Planet for the first time and I really loved this movie. A well done TV movie, the first TV film by Animal Planet and I loved it, still do.

A great TV movie about how teens can get a second chance at a ranch called "Circle Hope Ranch" owned by former marine and cop named J.T. Hope. A movie with a great message about life lessons and that how people can learn somethings about themselves and learn for their mistakes and learn to earn their keep. The 3 teens who get sent to Circle Hope Ranch do later on better themselves with the help of J.T. Hope, and with Hope's ranch hands Shorty, and Colt.

Bruce Boxleitner is awesome as J.T. Hope. I always been a fan of Bruce Boxleitner, he was always awesome in the 1980s hit TV series "Scarecrow & Mrs. King" and in the 1990s hit science fiction TV series "Babylon 5" as Captain/President John Sheridan and his role in the hit 1982 Walt Disney film "Tron" as Alan Bradley/Tron and the 2010 sequel "Tron: Legacy".

A great cast in this TV movie, Lorenzo Lamas is awesome as Colt Webb, a former juvenile delinquent who bettered himself with the help of J.T. Hope.

Barry Corbin is awesome as Shorty, a good friend of J.T. Hope.

Negligee and Underpants Party (1988 TV Movie)

A never out-dated comedy special of Howard Stern.

[10/10 · 9 August 2009]

To this day, "Negligee and Underpants Party" a.k.a. "Howard Stern's Negligee and Underpants Party" makes me laugh so hard. Howard Stern rules and always will be the king of radio. I love this 1988 Pay-Per-View special shown on Pay-Per-View. The excellent appearances by a lot of great comedians and great rock musicians also helps this video make it great.

Fred Norris, a member of Howard Stern's crew is funny as Kurt Waldheim Jr., the comedy sketches and videos really added a lot of laughs. One of the videos shown on here is a parody of "The Untouchables" called "The Gay Untouchables" it made me laugh so hard. The Geraldo Rivera clip is so funny, too.

The Star Search segment with Howard Stern, Emo Phillips, Judy Tenuta, Richard Belzer is really cool where they are the judges who judge a comedy segment where Jackie "The Jokeman" Martling and Steve O battle it out for the greatest comedy ever.

A lot of laughs and some T & A,,,,lol. A must-see for all who like Howard Stern. I like the fact that there is no censorship on this video.

Desperately Seeking Susan (1985)

Rosanna Arquette and Madonna rule!

[10/10 · 20 March 2008]

"Desperately Seeking Susan", still an awesome movie today, a great cast, plot and director.

The plot is an interesting one that has mistaken identity in it. Rosanna Arquette's performance as Roberta Glass really shines in this film. Madonna, actually did really awesome as Susan, this is by far her best film she has ever done. Aidan Quinn, who is a very awesome actor, his role as Dez, I give him a lot of credit for his performance, outstanding. Robert Joy as Jimmy, so cool. This movie has a lot of class and still shows how great the 1980s is, the good old days. A lot of movies out today, suck!

Rosanna Arquette's character is a woman who is desperate, desperate to have a better life then the one she is having right now. Love the fact that she is a woman who is not too into money cause she is a woman who would like to have fun. It comes to show that money is not always everything. Her hot tub salesman husband, Gary (Mark Blum), not really paying attention to her needs and can't see she is unhappy and bored.

Susan, a woman who is a fun-loving woman, who gets into some trouble, steals some ancient Egyptian artifacts from a man in Alantic City, New Jersey, and a man who stole them, wants them back and things get crazy from there and later on.

I love this film with all my heart, awesome music, love Madonna's song "Into the Groove", there are a lot of other great songs in the film, too. The good old days of the 1980s still live in this film and beyond.

Highlander: The Gathering (1992) Season 1, Episode 1

The pilot episode of the great TV series "Highlander".

[10/10 · 14 February 2007]

I am so pleased that they did "Highlander: The Series", a great TV show based on the great films. The Gathering is a great pilot episode. We are introduced to Duncan MacLeod, an Immortal from Scotland and his girlfriend, Tessa Noel, who knows about Duncan being Immortal. Connor MacLeod visits Duncan and they encounter an evil Immortal named Slan Quince. In the pilot story, we are introduced to Richie Ryan, who will become Immortal later on. The show is well written and well done. Connor and Duncan get to spend time together and they practice fighting with their swords. They know that Slan Quince will be coming for them and Duncan does not want to put Tessa in danger, but she decides to stay with Duncan.

A great story and a great cast. Christopher Lambert reprises his film as Connor MacLeod for the pilot and actors Richard Moll, best know for his role on the 1980s hit comedy series "Night Court" played Slan Quince in the pilot story.

Teachers (1984)

A great film about school and life.

[10/10 · 22 December 2006]

"Teachers" is a great film that came out in 1984. The film really touched up on the things that is even today, hurting some of our schools here today in the U.S.. The apathy, red tape, the lack of concern for the kids is what is causing the schools to get bad. I love this movie for a lot of reasons, the funny and sad moments in it. The cast of the film is really excellent.

The film starts out where it is a typical Monday morning at JFK High School where crazy things happen. The school psychologist loses it when the teacher nicknamed "Ditto" (Royal Dano) is hogging the ditto machine and she squirts him with ink. A stabbing has happened. A former student named Lisa Hammond (JoBeth Williams), who now is a lawyer, is representing a kid named John Calvin, a kid who is suing the school cause of the lack of education he received.

Alex Jurel (Nick Nolte), is called in on that Monday morning to teach Social Studies, Alex never comes in on a Monday. Alex Jurel is a teacher who got burned out, fighting a system, which has not changed. He runs into his former student, Lisa Hammond and she sees he has given up. She helps him to reawaken his ideals and Alex helps a kid named Eddie Pilikian (Ralph Macchio), a troubled kid, help him and become friends. Eddie stole a Drivers Ed. car with his friend Danny (Crispin Glover). Danny is a kid at the school who has problems being picked on by other students. Danny gives his teacher, Mr. Rosenberg (Allen Garfield) a hard time, first he bit Rosenberg on the hand and later on steals his car, though Rosenberg does not know about Danny stealing his car.

The other teachers at JFK are Stuart Van Ark (Richard Mulligan) a.k.a. Herbert Gower, an out patient at a mental hospital, who takes up the identity of the real Stuart Van Ark, and teaches his history class, and being entertaining. The kids in the class like him. "Ditto" a.k.a. Mr. Stiles, a teacher who sleeps on the job and doesn't teach at all later on dies in his sleep.

Alex's friend and Vice Principal of JFK, Roger Rubell, is one of the members of the faculty, next to Superintendent Burke, don't care about the kids and are worried about the publicity of the John Calvin case. They want the teachers who are going to be asked questions at their depositions to lie, but one of the teachers, Mr. Carl Rosenberg refuses to lie and does tell Lisa Hammond why they passed John Calvin. The School board want to fire Jurel for taking a student named Dianne Warren (Laura Dern) to an abortion clinic cause she got pregnant by the Physical Education teacher, Mr. Troy (Art Metrano), but Alex knows the real reason why the want to fire is is that the board are worried about what Alex will say at his deposition, though the case ended up being settled. Alex packs his stuff and Lisa Hammond sees him packing and Alex tells her he is quitting. Lisa convinces him to stay.

After Eddie Pilikian sets off the fire alarm, the people are outside and Alex tells him that he is not quitting and will sue them if they try to fire him. Alex tells Burke and Rubell about that the High School is about kids. Alex is staying to teach.

"Teachers" has a great cast and supporting cast like Richard Mulligan, Morgan Freeman as Al Lewis, the school board attorney, veteran actor William Schallert as Principal Horn, a clueless principal who does not know much about the school and some other things.

I am so happy Teachers in out on DVD now, there is a God!,,lol.

Eye of the Tiger (1986)

A cool movie about motorcycle gangs.

[10/10 · 16 December 2005]

"Eye of the Tiger" is a real awesome action film with a great cast, Gary Busey, Yaphet Kotto, Denise Galik-Furey, who is best known for her roll in the 1984 mini series "V: The Final Battle", and William Smith, who starred in such films as "Red Dawn" and "Any Which Way You Can". Seymour Cassel is awesome as the corrupt sheriff in the movie.

The movie starts out when convict and Vietnam Vet Buck Matthews(played by Gary Busey) gets released from prison, a fellow convict tells him if he needs anything, let him know. Buck gets home to his wife(played by Denise Galik-Furey) and daughter, things seem alright, but a biker gang is terrorizing the small town they live in.

Buck is having to deal with them, they murder his wife and cause his daughter to go into shock. Buck's problems are also bad with his parole officer(played By Seymour Cassel), who is also the sheriff of the town is in league with the biker gang. Buck goes after the gang, he asks the members of the town at the bingo game to help him but are afraid. the only one who will help him is his friend J.B. Deveraux, who is also a Vietnam Vet too.

This movie is an awesome film, the most memorable scene is when one of the bikers who ended up in the hospital, lost his voice cause of Buck Matthews, is forced to tell him where the gang took his daughter. Buck takes a stick of dynamite and puts Vaseline on it and shoves it up his butt and lights it, telling the guy that he has some seconds to write it down, which he does and Buck leaves letting to fuse on the dynamite run down and the biker dies of a heart attack, to this day, I still laugh at that part in the movie.

I give this film 10 out of 10 stars.

I give this movie 2 thumbs up and 10 stars.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

An excellent horror movie!! A classic.

[10/10 · 31 October 2005]

"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in my book is a film that is a total classic, the movie will scare you all to death,,lol, no pun intended. Tobe Hooper did a super job directing the movie and the cast made the movie great also. The late Jim Siedow as Drayton Sawyer, Edwin Neal as the Hitchhiker, and Gunnar Hanson as Leatherface. The movie and the character "Leatherface" is based on the real life serial killer Ed Gein.

Five teenagers are on a drive in Texas, they stop at a graveyard cause they heard some graves have been dug up. Sally Hardesty and her invalid brother, Franklin,have a grandfather buried there and wanted to see if he was dug up, but he was not. They and their friends are driving and pick up a hitchhiker, who was the grave robber, they thought he was alright till he cuts himself, than cuts Franklin, they get rid of him.

They get to a gas station, but they don't have any gas,Drayton Sawyer,is the owner of the gas station told the kids the transport won't be her till later on. The teens are on their way to Sally and Frankin's old house. They arrive and have a little fun. Kirk and Pam want to go swimming, they go to a creek,and the creek is dried up. They see a farm house and think they could get some gas from them. Kirk and Pam go to the house. Kirk knocks on the door, and hears a noise, he walks in the house and Leatherface hits him over the head with a little sledgehammer, and drags Kirk's body in the kitchen. Pam is waiting outside and decides to go in and see why Kirk is taking too long, so goes in and goes in a room to see some horrid things, a live chicken in a cage, bones, skeletons everywhere. Pam is horrified and tries to run out of the house and Leatherface catches her and takes her into the kitchen and is hung on a meat hook. Leatherface takes out a chainsaw and begins cutting up Kirk.

Jerry goes to look for Kirk and Pam and sees the farm, he goes there, up to the door. Jerry thinks that Kirk and Pam are goofing around, he goes in the house and into the kitchen and hears a noise. The cooler in the kitchen is opened up by Jerry and sees the body of Pam. Leatherface hits Jerry on the head with the hammer and kills him.

Later that night, Sally and Frankiln go to look for Jerry, Kirk, and Pam, they run into Leatherface and he kills Franklin with the chainsaw and chases Sally to the farm house and she gets to the gas station only to find Drayton, he gets his truck and ends up tying Sally up and takes her to the house. Sally's night is filled with terror, will she make it out alive, or will she end up like her brother and friends? This movie really does show the terror out there.

In the beginning of the movie, the narrator was John Laroquette, who is well known for his roll in the 1980's TV series "Night Court".

I give this movie 2 thumbs up and 4 for gore.

Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988)

Michael Myers is back!!!!

[10/10 · 31 October 2005]

"Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers" is an awesome horror sequel, I was so happy back in 1988 when this movie came out and to see them do this sequel. Donald Pleasence is back as Dr. Sam Loomis. The movie has a great cast in it, Ellie Cornell as Rachel Carruthers, Danielle Harris as Jamie Lloyd, Sasha Jensen as Brady, Beau Starr as the new sheriff of Haddonfield, Ben Meeker, and Kathleen Kinmont as Ben Meeker's daughter, Kelly.

It is 10 years later from the events of "Halloween" and "Halloween II", Michael Myers is in a prison for the criminally insane and in a coma.he is about to be transferred to another facility. He is in an ambulance, and hears the attendants talk about a niece he has. Michael awakes and kills the people in the ambulance.

Dr. Sam Loomis finds out that Michael is being transferred, but wasn't told by his boss. Then hears that Michael has escaped and goes to Haddonfield, but runs into Michael at a gas station and sees that he killed the people at the station. Michael gets away in a tow truck and causes the gas station to blow up. Dr. Loomis's car catches on fire and blows up too. He has to hitchhike to get to Haddonfield.

Dr. Loomis gets to Haddonfield and meets the new sheriff, Ben Meeker. He tells Sheriff Meeker that Michael Myers is in Haddonfield and is after his niece, Jamie Lloyd.

Michael is on his homicidal rampage and will kill anyone who gets in his way. Can he be stopped? This movie really did a great job at bringing back the most notorious killer of Halloween.

The supporting cast are great, character actor Raymond O'Connor as the Security Guard at the asylum, the late Carmen Filpi as the Reverend Jackson P. Sayer, who picks up Dr. Loomis who was hitchhiking.

I give this movie 2 thumbs up and 4 for gore,,lol

Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)

An underrated horror movie.

[10/10 · 31 October 2005]

"Halloween III: Season of the Witch" is a great horror movie, though Michael Myers wasn't in the movie, I think it is a cool movie. Tommy Lee Wallace did a great job directing it. He did the voice in the "Silver Shamrock" commercials.

The cast is really awesome, Tom Atkins as Dr. Dan Challis, Dan O'Herlihy as Conal Cochran, Stacy Nelkin as Ellie Grimbridge, Michael Currie as Raferty, and the late Ralph Strait as Buddy Kupfer make up the great cast.

It is getting near Halloween, a man who is running some people are after him,he gets to the gas station. The gas station attendant takes the man to the hospital. Dr. Dan Challis cares for the man,the man is holding onto a Halloween mask and is scared.Later on, a guy in a suit enters the hospital and goes to the man's room and kills him by pulling his skull apart.Dr. Challis chases after the killers, then the killer goes to his car and pours gasoline on himself and sets himself on fire, then the car explodes.

The next morning,the police are there to investigate and Dr. Challis meets Ellie, the daughter of the man who was murdered. They meet later on in a bar and try to figure out what happened. They do find out where Ellie's father was at before he died, a small town called Santa Mira. They discover that is where the "Silver Shamrock" factory is, the place where they make the Halloween masks. They go to a hotel and meet some people who are going to the "Silver Shamrock" factory.

Dr. Challis and Ellie make some discoveries and meet Conal Cochran, the man who owns the "Silver Shamrock" factory. He is a warlock who is planning the death of the children though the masks which have a chip in the trademark.By watching the commercial of "Silver Shamrock" will active the chip when the "Magic Pumpkin" appears.

The ending will keep you guessing if Dr. Challis succeeded in saving the kids.

This movie really had me on my feet, I love this movie cause of the drama and horror.If you notice in the movie, the actress who played Dr. Challis's ex-wife, played in the first "Halloween" movie as Annie Brackett and the actor who played Dr. Dan Challis's son, Joshua Miller, who is the son of the late actor Jason Miller of "The Exorcist".

I give this movie 2 thumbs up and 10 stars.

Halloween II (1981)

A great sequel to a classic horror movie.

[10/10 · 31 October 2005]

"Halloween II" really is an awesome sequel to a great horror movie,Jamie Lee Curtis,Donald Pleasence,Charles Cyphers and Nancy Stephens reprise their rolls.Lance Guest stars as Jimmy,Leo Rossi as Bud,Pamela Susan Shoop as Karen,and Ford Rainey as Dr. Mixture make up the great supporting cast in the film.

"Halloween II" picks up where the first movie left off,Michael Myers was shot 6 times by Dr. Sam Loomis and is still alive and at large.Michael Myers continues his killing spree to get to his sister and kills anyone who gets in his way.

Laurie Strode goes to the hospital after Michael Myers tried to kill her.Michael ends up going to to hospital and kills a lot of people there.Dr. Loomis finds out later on why Michael Myers returned to Haddonfield,to kill he sister,Laurie Strode.

The ultimate showdown at the hospital really is an awesome scene.

I give this movie 2 thumbs up and 10 stars.Rick Rosenthal did a great job directing this movie like he did with the 1983 Sean Penn drama movie "Bad Boys" and he directed "Halloween: Resurrection".

I love the music to the movie and the song "Mr. Sandman" by "The Clordettes" which was played in the beginning and the end of the movie.

Halloween (1978)

The ultimate horror movie!!

[10/10 · 31 October 2005]

"Halloween" in my book is the greatest horror film around.John Carpenter and Debra Hill created this masterpiece and showed they know how to make a great movie.

A great cast,Jamie Lee Cutris as Laurie Strode,the late Donald Plesence as the psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis,P.J. Soles as Lynda,Nancy Loomis as Annie.Charles Cyphers as Sheriff Brackett,Nancy Stephens as Marion Chambers,Brian Andrews as Tommy Doyle and Kyle Richards as Lindsey.

The movie started out in 1963 in Haddonfield,Illinois as Michael Myers,a little boy sees his sister,Judith,having sex with her boyfriend.As soon as her boyfriend leaves,Michael picks up a knife and goes upstairs and stabs his sister.His parents come home and see him with a knife in his hand and a blank expression on his face.

Fifteen years later,Michael is going to be going to court.His psychiatrist,Dr. Sam Loomis is with a nurse,Marion Chambers go to the mental institution and see the patients outside.Micheal hits the window of the car and nearly hurts Marion.Michael escapes and drives off in the car.

Dr. Loomis knows where Michael is going to.He goes to Haddonfield to find Michael.Michael goes on his killing spree,it is Halloween night and the whole town of Hadonfield will be forever effected by the mayhem of Michael Myers.

"Halloween" is the greatest horror movie and it really introduced us to a really big time psychopath,Michael Myers.

Nick Castle played the roll of Michael Myers really well.Nick Castle,who is also a director,directed films like "TAG: The Assassination Game" and directed the 1984 science fiction movie "The Last Starfighter" which starred Lance Guest,who played Jimmy in "Halloween II".

I heard that the mask of Michael Myers is modeled to look like William Shatner a.k.a. Captain James T. Kirk of "Star Trek" in the interview with the late Debra Hill.

I give this movie 2 thumb up and 10 stars.

Humongous (1982)

An awesome Canadian horror film.

[10/10 · 29 July 2005]

"Humongous" is a really awesome 1982 horror film, the cast like Janet Julian(Sandy), Page Fletcher(Tom), and David Wallace(Eric) is really superb.

The film starts out on Labor Day weekend in 1946 on an island owned by the Parsons family who are having a party. Ida, who is the daughter is minding her own business till a man named Tom comes up to Ida and bothers her.She walks off to the beach and Tom follows Ida. He ends up raping her. The dogs in the fence are going nuts,they jump out of fence and run to help Ida, they tear up Tom really good. Ida takes a big tree branch and kills Tom by hitting him over the head. Ida looks up in a blank stare.

It is 36 years later, Eric Simmons is going boating with his brother Nick, sister Carla, and 2 female friends Sandy and Donna. Nick is the mean and horny guy who won't leave Donna alone.They all leave for their boat trip. Later on that night, a man on a boat lights a flare and warns them to slow down cause of the rocks underneath.The man they save is Bert, a man who's boats engine went out. He tells them they are near an island which he calls "Dog Island" cause of the dogs there.

Later that night, Nick decides to move the boat and the boat hits the rocks, they all abandon ship and make it to the island, Bert broke his leg.They are shipwrecked,but Carla is missing.Nick decides to go up to the lodge to get help. Unknown to them, they are being watched by a big deformed man. Nick hears a dog, nick runs fast and one of the dogs is running after him till the big giant man who ends up killing the dog by strangling him,Nick runs to a boat house and hides in it, he thinks he hears a dog. It is the giant, who crashes in the door, Nick screams and becomes the first human victim of the giant.

The next morning, Eric goes to look for Nick,Sandy tags along. Donna stays with Bert, Eric and Sandy go to the boat house and they find Carla, she is alive. Eric, Carla and Sandy go up to the lodge to find out a few things. Nick is no where to be seen. Meanwhile, Donna is comforting Bert, not knowing the mutant is there,Donna tries to warm Bert up, they hear a growling noise, it is the giant, he breaks Donna's neck and breaks Bert's with his foot. At the lodge, Sandy, Eric and Carla find a picture book and make a shocking discovery,a rotted corpse on the chair,it is Ida Parsons. They are frightened of the corpse.They 3 go up stairs and look in the rooms for things.They hear a noise through the vents, it is the mutant.

The 3 go outside to the basement, and see a made up shrine, and find a diary there, they smell a bad stench. They go to a room and really make a horrifying discovery, Nick and Donna hanged on chains, dead. Carla runs really fast out the door, she runs to the beach and sees Bert's head floating in the water.

Later that night, Eric and Sandy learn more and find out who it is that killed the dogs, and Nick, Donna, and Bert. He is the son of Ida Parsons. Ida taught his son to protect the island and left him with the message, "the outside people are the enemy". They also discover that he was eating the dogs for food.

Eric has an idea to burn the lodge so that a boat near by can see them and rescue them. Sandy dropped the matches and the have to go the the lodge to get them. Eric and Sandy go and she finds them and they hear a noise,it is Ida's son. Eric looks through a hole in the door of the basement, the giant looks through, and breaks down the door. Eric manages to hit him with a big branch to knock him down.Eric thought he killed him, but he didn't, the mutant is alive, he hits Eric a couple of times and picks Eric up and wraps his arms around Eric and breaks Eric's back, Sandy is powerless to help Eric. The mutant takes Eric's corpse outside and lays his body on the ground, Eric is dead. Sandy runs up stairs and sees the photo of Ida. Sandy wraps a big blanket around her self over her head and pretends to be Ida, so the mutant will go away. As soon as Sandy goes out the door of the bedroom, he is there and chases Sandy out of the lodge and and runs to the boat house, Carla is there, she was looking for Sandy. The mutant is behind them and grabs Carla by the face and crushes her head, and kills her. He is now after Sandy. Sandy strikes a match and causes the boathouse to burn. The mutant is catching on fire, Sandy escapes and she thinks she is safe, till he comes out of the water and chases her. She runs up the wooden steps with the mutant following her. Sandy pulls a sign from the ground to use as a weapon and ends up stabbing him with it. He falls to the ground, dead. The boat house goes up in flames.

Sandy is the only survivor of the island, she sits on the dock with the same face that Ida Parsons made 36 years ago.

This film is really great, the only bad thing was that the movie was too dark, literally. The picture could have been brighter so you could have seen the mutant's face better. I give this movie 10/10 stars and 2 thumbs up.

Savage Dawn (1985)

A cool movie about motorcycle gangs.

[10/10 · 25 July 2005]

Savage Dawn, I think is an awesome movie, a great cast like Lance Henriksen, William Forsythe, George Kennedy, Karen Black, Richard Lynch, Mickey Jones,and a small appearance by the late Sam Kinison make this 1985 movie really rock.

The film starts out with Stryker,riding his motorcycle on his way to see his friend Tick Rand at the small town of Agua Dulce, Texas. They talk for awhile. Later they are at a bar which has a contest where they have a fight. A motorcycle gang ride in,it is the "Savages", led by Pigiron, the Savages start trouble and they turn the town into their own playground. Later,some of the people fight back. Stryker doesn't want to fight,Tick does help the people. Stryker does show up to help out.

This film is a very awesome action flick.

One More Saturday Night (1986)

Another underrated film of the 1980s.

[10/10 · 15 July 2005]

"One More Saturday Night" is a film that should have got more respect.It is a very funny movie, Al Franken and Tom Davis(both of Saturday Night Live) wrote the script to the film and starred in it. The movie really does have a lot of great moments in it and it has a great cast in it.

The movie is about a typical Saturday night in a small town. The story revolves around some teenagers who have a really wild night, one teen is hoping to score with his girlfriend, another teen is babysitting for a couple, her boyfriend ends up having a party at the house. A teen thief who ends up becoming a burglar goes to break in a house with his fellow female friend, but he develops a conscience and decides to take the stuff back to the house. A man who goes out on a date with a woman both make out in the back seat of the car. Two members of a rock band called "Bad Mouth" are hoping to get laid.

The movie really has a lot of funny moments and I give it 2 thumbs up, Al Franken and Tom Davis who wrote and appeared on "Saturday Night Live" did an awesome job with the film.

The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)

Another underrated movie of the 1980's.

[10/10 · 3 March 2005]

This movie is one of my favorite films of the 80's,a great story on how a person can be a hero,not intending to be.A great cast, story line and directing. I really love the songs in the movie too, great song by Pat Benatar, "Invincible".

The movie starts out in Texas as Billie Jean Davy,played by the beautiful Helen Slater(Supergirl, The Secret Of My Success, and Parallel Lives), and her brother, Binx, played great by Christian Slater(Pump Up The Volume, Young Guns II, and True Romance)are riding a scooter and are being bothered by a fellow teen named Hubie Pyatt, played by Barry Tubb(Mask, Top Gun, and Truce), he tries to touch Billie Jean where he shouldn't, Binx dumps his milkshake on him and the take off. Later, Billie Jean and Binx go to the lake and swim, Hubie shows up and takes off with Binx's motor scooter. Billie Jean, Binx, and their friends, Putter, played by Yeardly Smith(Maximum Overdrive and The Simpsons), and Ophelia, played by Martha Behman(The Flamingo Kid, F/X, and Practical Magic), go to the police to report the scooter being stolen, Det. Ringwald, played by Peter Coyote(Jagged Edge, Heart Of Midnight, and The 4400), is a nice cop who wants to help them.

Late that night,Binx goes to get his scooter and gets beat up by Hubie and his scooter is trashed by Hubie. Billie Jean and Binx go over to the place of business where Hubie Pyatt's dad, played by Richard Bradford(The Untouchables, Internal Affairs, and Hoodlum) works. Billie Jean tells Mr Pyatt what his son did to her brother's scooter and gives him the bill, he takes Billie Jean up to the upstairs part and nearly rapes her. Binx opens up the register and gets a gun in it, he accidentally shoots Mr Pyatt, and that is where things get all crazy. Billie Jean.Binx, Putter, and Ophelia become fugitives and have to hide out.

They end up in a big house and hide their. The gang get a surprise when the young man name Lloyd, played superbly by Keith Gordon(Dressed To Kill, Christine, and Back To School), who lives their, scares them a little, but they become friends with Lloyd. Lloyd's father, played by Dean Stockwell(Beverly Hills Cop II,and Quantum Leap), is a Senator of the state of Texas. Lloyd gets the idea where he can play the hostage, to go along with them. Bille wants to deliver a message to the police about what has happened, Billie gets her hair cut real short.

Billie's tape gets delivered to the police, she become a hero to all people, not just the teenagers. The gang get help from a lot of people, who believe them, that they are good people. The teenage girls get their hair cut short just like Billie Jean. Billie Jean has become a celebrity.

This movie really shows how being a teenager is still rough but,it shows how a person has dignity, courage and humanity, the ending of the film really did show how a greedy person pays the price.

I give this movie 2 thumbs up and 10/10 stars, I hope this movie will be out on DVD very soon.

The songs in the film are super, "Invincible" by Pat Benatar is the greatest song they could bring to the theme of the movie. "It's My Life" by punk rocker Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics, and "Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol is another great song in this movie too.

Kalifornia (1993)

A great 1990's drama.

[10/10 · 2 March 2005]

"Kalifornia"is a great film that makes us look at ourselves.The film has a great cast,Brad Pitt(Johnny Suede,A River Runs Through It,and The Legends Of The Fall)as Early Grayce,David Duchovny(The X Files)as Brian Kessler,Michelle Forbes(Star Trek:The Next Generation,Homicide:Life On The Street,and Escape From L.A.)as Carrie Loughlin,Brian's girlfriend,and Juliette Lewis(Natural Born Killers,Cape Fear,and What's Eating Gilbert Grape)as Adele Corners,Early's girlfriend.

Brian Kessler is a writer who is a Liberal,is getting ready to write a book about serial killers.Brian and his girlfriend,Carrie decide they want to move to California,so Brian places an ad at the college for some who wants to go to California,to share expenses on the trip.

Early Grayce is an ex con and sociopath on parole,who recently lost his job at the mirror factory in town,is in debt,owes his landlord money.Early's parole officer stops to visit him and tells him about a job.Early goes to the college and sees the ad,he later tells Adele,his girlfriend about leaving to go to California.Early and Adele meet Brian and Carrie at the bus stop and leave town.Brian and Carrie do not know that he is a killer who just killed his landlord.For a little while Brian and Carrie thought of Early and Adele different but got to know them and become sort of friends,Carrie and Adele become real good friends.

Their journey is a very learning one.Though Brain and Carrie not knowing early is a killer till later on in the movie.The question Brian asks in this film about the difference between killers and us is a very good question.Early Grayce is a sociopath who doesn't see the error of his ways,goes down hill later on and pays the price.

This film is a great movie,I give it 10/10 stars and 2 thumbs up.I love the songs in the movie,especially at the end of the film,the song"Look Up To The Sky"by The Indians.

The Incredible Hulk Returns (1988 TV Movie)

A great TV movie.

[10/10 · 29 January 2005]

I am so glad they made 3 TV movies of the Hulk, it is great to see Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno reprise their roles from "The Incredible Hulk" TV series, and Jack Colvin reprise his role as investigative reporter Jack McGee in this TV movie.

David Banner, using the alias David Banion, is working for an institute that is into research and he has helped develop a gamma radiation machine that will probably cure him. David Banner is living with his co-worker and lover, Dr. Margaret Shaw, played by Lee Purcell(Airplane II: The Sequel, Valley Girl, and The Unknown). Margeret does not know his secret. David Banner has not turned into the Hulk in 2 years and does not want to put Margaret in danger.

David is working at the lab late at night and an old acquaintance of his, Donald Blake, played great by Steve Levitt (Private School, Hunk, and The Experts), who knows who David is. Donald tells his adventure exploring a cavern in the mountain, discovers a tomb of an ancient Viking warrior, named Thor, played superbly by Eric Kramer(True Romance, Robin Hood: Men In Tights, and American Wedding). Donald uses a hammer he discovers in the tomb, the hammer of Thor, it is a way to summon Thor. Donald demonstrates how it works, David and Thor meet, Thor makes David anger by pushing him, and turns into the Hulk, they have it out, but they stop fighting cause of the police showing up. Jack McGee is at the institution the next day asking questions, David sees McGee and hides cause Jack McGee things he is dead.

I won't tell you the rest, but I will tell you there are forces out to steal the gamma machine, Jack LeBeau, played by a sci fi great Tim Thomerson(Trancers 1-6, Nemesis 1 and 3), and his goon, played by Charles Napier(Rambo: First Blood Part II ,Austin Powers:The Spy Who Shagged Me).

This movie is awesome, I give it 10/10 and 2 thumbs up.

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man (1991)

A very underrated movie in the 1990's.

[10/10 · 27 January 2005]

"Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man" is a very super movie about 2 friends trying to help a friend not to lose his bar.This movie wasn't given enough credit.The stars of the film help make the movie great,a real great story,and lots of action too.

Harley Davidson,played superbly by Mickey Rourke(Body Heat,9 1/2 Weeks and Year Of The Dragon,and the Marlboro Man,who's real name is Robert Anderson,played by the great Don Johnson(Miami Vice and Nash Bridges),are 2 friends who are trying to save a friends bar from being taken away from him by the bank,Mr Jiles,played by Julius Harris(Darkman,My Chauffeur,and Going Berserk),Jimmy Jiles,played by Giancarlo Esposito(Taps,Maximum Overdrive,and Homicide:Life On The Streets),they need 2 1/2 million dollars to re-lease the bar.The late Big John Stud(WWF) is the son-in-law,Jack Daniels,and Lulu,played by former Miss America Vanessa Williams,is also part of their family.Virginia Slim,played by the beautiful Chelsea Field(The Last Boy Scout,The Birds II:Land's End,and Skin Deep),is the former girlfriend of the Marlboro Man who he goes to see,but tells him she is getting married.

Harley makes a plan to rob the bank that is strong arming the Jiles family,they go ahead with the plan,but are in way over their head's,they find the truck is full of a designer drug called "Crystal Dream".Things get worse for Harley and Marlboro as they deal with the drug dealer,Chance Wilder,played by Tom Sizemore(Natural Born Killers,Saving Private Ryan,and True Romance),is the bank president who is running the drugs.Alexander,played by Daniel Baldwin(Knight Moves,Vampires,and Homicide:Life On The Street)is the leader of the goons in a bullet proof jackets,kill Jimmy Jiles,his dad and Jack Daniels,Harley And The Marlboro Man get away,but want to make things right.

The showdown at the airplane graveyard is a great scene,Harley Davidson,who can't shoot a gun great,does make his shot,,literally,and when they deal with Chance Wilder.

This movie really rocks,the heroes in the movie are what I consider true Americans,they haven't sold out to corporate B.S. and they live their days by their own rules,and live their days one day at a time.

The supporting cast include Kelly Hu as the gas station clerk,Tia Carrere(Wayne's World 1 and 2),Branscombe Richmond(The Kentucky Fried Movie,Star Trek III,and the TV series "Renegade)as the Indian in the bar that the Marlboro Man fights,Eloy Casados(Born in East L.A.,The Best Of Times,and Hollywood Homicide)as Jose,who is a deaf-mute and a friend of the Jiles family and Harley and Marlboro.

I give this film 2 thumbs up and 10/10 stars.

Alien Nation (1989–1990)

A really wonder science fiction show.

[22 January 2005]

"Alien Nation"is a science fiction show that is well done,well acted and well created by Kenneth Johnson(The Incredible Hulk, and V). The series dealt with a lot of issues, especially racial issues,and cultural issues too.

The Tenctonese are a race that were slaves who came to earth cause of their ship crashing in the Mohave Desert in 1991. The Tenctonese are from the planet Tencton, they have the ability to adapt in any environment, they learn fast and live a little longer than Humans,they are known to us Humans also as Newcomers.There are Humans who don't like the Newcomers, they are called Purists, the Newcomers are called Slags, the word "slag" is a racist term by the Purists.The Newcomers that don't like Humans much call us Humans, "Terts".

Human cop Matthew Sikes, played superbly by Gary Graham(All The Right Moves, Robot Jox, and The Last Warrior), is a cop who lost his former partner to a Newcomer in a robbery. Sikes's new parter, a Newcomer cop, Det. George Francisco, played awesome by Eric Pierpoint(Invaders From Mars, Forever Young, and Liar Liar), work together to fight crime. The two Detectives have their disagreements on certain issues,but work great together. Cathy Frankel, played awesome by Terri Treas(Seven Brides For Seven Brothere, The Nest, and House IV)is Matthew Sikes's Newcomer neighbor who he develops a relationship with her later on, Capt Bryan Grazer, played by Ron Fassler(Camp Nowhere, Child's Play 3 and Gremlins 2), Det. Dobbs, played by Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs(Welcome Back Kotter), Albert Einstein, a Newcomer janitor, played by Jeff Marcus, are some of the members of the precinct.

George Francisco's family consists of Susan Francisco, played by Michele Scarabelli(Air Wolf),Buck Francisco, played by Sean Six, is a teenage Newcomer who has got into some trouble, but has got better, though he has resentment towards Humans. Emily Francisco, played by Lauren Woodland(The Young And The Restless), is a young Newcomer girl who is a nice girl who is smart.

I was very upset that Fox canceled "Alien Nation"in 1990, but they did redeemed themselves by making 5 "Alien Nation" TV movies, "Alien Nation:Dark Horizon", "Alien Nation:Body And Soul", "Alien Nation:Millinium", "Alien Nation:The Enemy Within", "Alien Nation:The Udara Legacy".

I give this show 10/10 stars and 2 thumbs up.

The "Alien Nation" TV series was based on the "Alien Nation" movie that came out in 1988.

Summer School (1987)

A very funny movie.

[22 January 2005]

"Summer School" is a very funny movie about summer school.Actor and director Carl Reiner did a great job directing this movie,the cast are great in this film.I saw it in 1987 when it came out,I thought it was funny then,and still think it is funny today,my favorite characters in the film are Chainsaw and Dave.

The movie starts out as school is getting out for Summer,Vice Principal Phil Gills,played by Robin Thomas(About Last Night,Jade,and The Contender)is looking for a teacher to teach Remedial English Class for the Summer cause the Remedial English teacher Mr. Dearadorian,played by Carl Reiner,resigns cause he won money off an instant Lottery ticket.Mr Gills ends up recruiting P.E. teacher Freddy Shoop,played superbly by Mark Harmon(St. Elsewhere,The Presidio,and Navy NCIS).Mr Shoop was on his way to Hawaii,but is blackmailed into teaching Summer School cause Gills is the one who can recommend him for a tenure.Mr Shoop meets Ms. Robin Bishop,played by Kirstie Alley(Star Trek II:The Wrath Of Khan,Cheers,and Runaway),a teacher who teaches History next door.

Freddy Shoop's students is Francis Gremp,a.k.a.

The supporting cast include Beau Starr(Halloween 4 and 5,Goodfellas)as Chainsaw's father.

Laura Waterbury(Better Off Dead and One Crazy Summer)as Chainsaw's mother.

Amy Stock as Kim,Freddy Shoop's girlfriend at the beginning of the movie.

Tom Troupe as the Judge.

Natural Born Killers (1994)

The greatest movie of the 1990's.

[10/10 · 18 January 2005]

"Natural Born Killers" is a great movie about a couple who are mass murderers who become famous cause of the media.Oliver Stone(Platoon,Talk Radio,and Born On The Fourth Of July)directs this movie with class and Quentin Tarantino(Reservoir Dogs,Pulp Fiction,Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2)does a great job a writing the script to the movie.The media was portrayed just right cause of in real life,the media has made bad people look good,like O.J. Simpson.Mickey was the Charles Starkweather in the movie and Mallory Knox was like the Carol Fugite in this movie,they were also like Bonnie and Clyde,but Bonnie and Clyde didn't kill people though.

The movie starts out as Mickey Knox,played superbly by Woody Harrelson(Cheers,Kingpin,The People vs Larry Flint),and his wife Mallory Knox,played greatly by Juliette Lewis(Cape Fear and Kalifornia)on their murder spree,wherever they go,they they kill people in every place they go,but they leave one person alive to tell the tale.

Wayne Gale,played awesomely by Robert Downey Jr.(Weird Science,Back To School,and Less Than Zero),is a reporter who is the host of a 60 Minutes type show called "American Maniacs",he interviews serial killers on his show.Wayne Gale has become obsessed with Mickey and Mallory Knox,he is responsible for the big media circuses surrounding them.Wayne Gale is the type of reporter who is interested in ratings.

The flashback scene is awesome,to see how Mallory Knox became a killer,her life with her family is not all that great,her father,played so great by Rodney Dangerfield(Easy Money,Back To School,and Ladybugs)abuses her,calls Mallory a "Stupid Bitch"a lot.Mallory's mother,played by Edie McClurg(Eating Raoul,Ferris Bueller's Day Off,and Back To School),does nothing about her father.Things are not great in her life,but meeting the meat delivery man,Mickey Knox,changes everything for her,though Mickey gets jailed for grand theft,he escapes and comes for Mallory,they kill the parents and let her younger brother,Kevin,live.That is where it began for the couple.

Det. Jack Scagnetti,played superbly by Tom Sizemore(Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man,True Romance,and The Relic)is hot on their tail,he is obsessed with capturing Mickey and Mallory Knox.Scagnetti is even as wacko as they are,he kills a hooker in a hotel room.

Mickey and Mallory has to stop to get gas,they end up and an Indian's home,he invites them in and gives them something to eat.The Indian and his grandson can see they are sick.The grandfather tries to help them,but Mickey has a bad dream and kills the grandfather,they end up leaving and both get bit by some rattlesnakes.Mickey and Mallory end up at the drug store to get some "Snake Juice"a.k.a. anti snake venom.The clerk recognizes Mickey from the TV he is watching and sets the silent alarm,he is killed by Mickey. Mallory and Mickey get surrounded by the police outside the drug store and there is Jack Scagnetti,they get caught and go to prison.

Mickey and Mallory Knox are in the same prison for a year,the prison is ran by Warden Dwight McClusky,played really great by Tommy Lee Jones(Under Siege,The Fugitive,and Coal Miner's Daughter),is a wacky warden who hates the couple so much.Wayne Gale comes to the prison and wants an interview with Mickey Knox and gets it,during the interview,Mickey explains how he became a killer.Mallory Gets a visit from Jack Scagnetti.Later on,a prison riot starts and Mickey gets a hold of the guns,forces the Wayne and the guards to move,and take him to the cell of Mickey,they get to the cell and Mallory kills Scagnetti.The couple make it out of the prison with hostages Wayne and the prison guard,Kavanaugh,played by Pruitt Taylor Vince.Wayne has an interview with the couple,after the interview,Mickey decides to kill Wayne cause of Wayne being a selfish mediocre man who only cares about himself and about ratings,Mickey believes that killing Wayne is a statement.The camera that was filming the prison riot and the interview told the tale of Mickey and Mallory Knox and the demise of Wayne Gale.

I give this movie 2 thumb up and 10/10 stars,this movie has a style like "A Clockwork Orange".

The soundtrack is really awesome,the songs "Waiting For A Miracle"and "The Future"by Leonard Cohen are awesome,"Sweet Jane"by Cowboy Junkies,"Something I Can Never Have"and "A Warm Place" and "Burn"by Nine Inch Nails and "Back In Baby's Arms"by Patsy Cline are awesome.I recommend getting the soundtrack,I have it myself.

Desperate Lives (1982 TV Movie)

A great anti-drug TV movie with a message.

[10/10 · 8 January 2005]

Some of the high school kids have drug problems, nobody want to admit it, but a new councilor, Eileen Phillips, played superbly by Diana Scarwid(Mommy Dearest, Silkwood, and Extremities), can see that there is a problem with the kids with drugs.
