Sudden Death (1995)
Who's the REAL hero?
Powers Boothe storms into the Pittsburgh Civic Arena and threatens to blow the place up. SO WHAT? Who hasn't at least thought of doing that themselves once or twice?? Being a huge NON-Penguins fan, I was so rooting for the bad guy. Unfortunately, he was just way too snarlingly evil, even for me. The dialogue sounded like it was written straight out of the Movie Cliche Handbook. That little girl needed to be slapped - HARD. The hackneyed fight in the kitchen (hand in the fryer, face on the stove, arm in the meat grinder, etc, etc...) was really funny, but more of a sad funny. The fact that Jean-Claude, the loser fireman was not only a martial arts expert, but an EXPLOSIVES expert was just way too out there. And Boothe's little fake out with the bomb detinator that was really a lighter was just going too dang far for a dumb joke. The only fun was Luc Robitaille swearing in French...oh, and Mike Lange almost getting roasted in the press box (:::EVIL LAUGH:::)...
Man's Best Friend (1993)
I want that dog!
I was highly disappointed to see that the dog who plays Max in this film is not credited anywhere on the IMDB page - and he was the best actor in the whole darn movie! The whole half-dog/half-human brain thing (at least I think that's what it was supposed to be) was pulled off incredibly well by this pooch. I mean, he had EXPRESSIONS! When he looked up at Ally Sheedy's boyfriend after he tried to slip him some spiked dog chow - that LOOK! GRRRR!!! It was great! That dog should get an Oscar! ;-)
Marooned (1969)
You're not alone, Twick...
To Twick, I have actually seen Marooned....well, actually, I kinda cheated; I saw Marooned when it was the featured movie on Mystery Science Theater 3000 a few years ago. If you'd like to see this film deservedly schalacked, try to find a copy of this episode...there are many drunk jokes aimed at David Janssen and much mileage gotten out of the presence of both Greg Peck and Gene Hackman. Fun, fun, fun!!! :-)
