The Hotel New Hampshire (1984)
incest, love, strange movie has a bit of everything
Too oddball to be taken seriously, but, with scenes of gang rape and incest, hardly a comedy, this strange film is enticing if you're tired of glossy computerised special effects and want to see a film which focusses on the complicated tensions within a dysfunctional but curiously solid family unit.
Some of the plotline, such as the terrorist bombing, is totally ludicrous, but strong performances from all the characters hold it all together somehow. In particular, Jodie Foster, Rob Lowe and Alan Bates all excel, but the talented Natassia Kinski, who spends most of the film wearing a bear costume, is sadly wasted here and occasionally the viewer gets the feeling that she would have preferred not to have been there at all. Drifting from hotel to hotel, the family loses some of its members along the way but collects waifs and strays to replace them. The characters develop as their fortunes waiver, and the will-they-or-won't-they? relationship between John and his sister Frannie is an uncomfortable undercurrent which runs throughout the film. After a strong start, the film softens and falters towards the end, but nevertheless is well worth watching if you want something a bit different.
Watchers III (1994)
this film is only rescued because wings hauser is in it
wings hauser carrys this film.
he takes over the character that marc singer played in the second film.
basicly if you liked the first 2 films you will like this one.
i consider this film to be a cheap version of predator.
Armstrong (1998)
not a bad little B movie
cheaply made i only watched originally because Joe Lara was in it. not his best performance.
Kimberley Kates does a great nude scene. that girl is worth watching this film for.
i picked this dvd up at a local second hand shop for only £2.99 so i am happy i got it.
will not go into the plot as the last person to review it said it all.
