An underrated masterpiece
The Osterman Weekend is usually dismissed as a failed effort of Peckinpah's, as his last, drug-addled attempt to reclaim his fame. Many critics wave it off as uneven or even denounce it as incomprehensible. I take issue with such critics, and will here argue that not only is The Osterman Weekend a great film, but that it is in fact one of Peckinpah's greatest achievements as a filmmaker. In my ...

Very Disturbing, Especially if You Have Children
John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy, Marathon Man, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Day of the Locust) delivers yet again in this suspenseful, hair raisingly chilling account of Devil Worship. True, it might have helped feed the frenzy of anti-Wiccan, look behind every repressed childhood memory for pentagrams and blood chalices evidence in numerous '80s court cases, but as cinema, it is a very powerful, ...

An Interesting Movie
I know the movie was made almost 30 years ago.However it definately portrayed sexual understanding or lack of it in some cases based on experience and individual maturity.A little far fetched but an entertaining movie.Most men and some women knows someone like the main charachter.

A great sequel
A sequel of sorts of Newman's 1960 THE HUSTLER, and a great one. Newman, long out of the pool game now, but still unable to forget it, finds Tom Cruise shooting the daylights out of the game one night and talks the brash young kid into going on the road and becoming a hustler, with Newman as his mentor. Then halfway through the picture Newman gets the bug to play again. He and Cruise meet up in ...

Great performances from both Christopher Reeve and Deborah Raffin
A surprising find, one of those rare films that most have never heard of, yet packs the wallop of the best of love stories or Oscar favorites. Deborah Raffin is enchanting, and Reeve was at his physical peak (one of his first films in his post "Superman" era). The film feels a bit like a cross of "Somewhere in Time" and "Old Yeller" as bizarre as that combination might sound! Enjoy!

Fits me to a T.
Most people who view this movie will not be able to actually enjoy the movie for what is worth. I myself have "depersonalization/derealization" and the movie is pretty much my life in a nutshell. Very humorous, with a love story involved. I am just glad the director who himself suffers from this dissociative disorder, tries to spread the world about how we are here in the world without any ...

The Craft
**No Spoilers** The Craft is one of those movies that will ultimately become Timeless. It will appeal to young audiences, and will most likely carry on through to adulthood as a "favorite movie worth seeing again and again." (think in terms of the "cult favorites" Carrie, The Breakfast Club, Grease) I am not well versed in Wiccan and/or witchcraft practices, so for me this film satisfied an ...

Old fashioned but relevant
The movie was a bit melodramatic but very effective in making it's point. As a woman who was happily married for 27 of 29 years and only discovered my "true" sexuality at almost 50yrs old, I can relate to the hesitancy of pursing this type of relationship. Based on my experience, I found it depicted a fairly realistic view of a female to female relationship.

A good old-fashioned haunted house tale, but don't believe a word of this "true" story.
Decent acting, solid special effects, and a fairly intelligent script save this film from being just another haunted house tale. This review contains some minor spoilers after the following brief paragraph: This film follows the supposedly true story of the Lutz family that lived a mere 28 days in a house that is not just haunted, but possessed by both ancient and contemporary evil spirits. ...

The Greatest Family Movie ever Made
I thought this movie was made really well. This has been the greatest family movie I have ever seen. It had me laughing and crying at the same time. This is a film that the whole family can enjoy from 0 to 99 years old. And I believe that your whole family will love this movie and watch it everyday like I do.

Harry Tracy
HARRY TRACY (originally titled HARRY TRACY, DESPERADO) is a 1982 film starring Bruce Dern as the title character and folk-singer Gordon Lightfoot as U.S. Marshal Morrie Nathan, the lawman who, the movie tells us, spent years tracking the desperado down before finally catching up with him in the Pacific Northwest. HARRY TRACY came pretty late to the game of translating real-life Wild West ...

Rowing is often overlooked as a sport
Rowing is a rigorous sport and extremely competive on both personal and team levels. This film looks at this sport and shows what it takes to row and be competetive.

It's a fun cheesy B movie

This time the worms have invaded a Mexican oil field, but when one of the employees turns into worm food, an expert on graboids is needed to go graboid hunting and the expert is Earl Basset (Fred Ward). Earl teams up with Grady Huver (Christopher Gartin) to stop the worms. When the hunt starts everything is going dandy, Earl is getting paid 50K for each ...
