..a good office worker's movie! If you work in an office or if you don't, you'll like this comedy by M. Judge. It's clever, and was originally designed "skip work and go see me" type of flick...Which is what I planned on doing but it wasn't a big hit in my town and the theatre got rid of the daytime shows. Anyway, it's got a little of everything for those who are sick of their jobs, etc. Very funny, if subtle.

Waterworld
(1995)
Too much hype, but still a good flick.
2 August 1999
If not for all the hype and publicity surrounding the bloated budget of this movie (not to mention the bad shot location & decision making by mgmt.), I think it would have been a huge sleeper hit. Minus Dennis Hopper's cigarette smoking goofball character (where did they get so many cigarettes?), the film is still really good. I think most will enjoy it, if unbiased before watching... Waterworld has alot of good qualities, and is quite original considering it is of the worn out "post-twentieth century apocalyptic" genre.
Chiefs
(1983)
Great Cast, good history.
30 July 1999
If you like movies about dusty, small southern towns that are hiding a crime/mystery/secret, then this one's for you! It has all of the elements to keep you watching. Centered around the police chiefs of the town and serial killer, over a long period of time. Psssst....The men who play the police chiefs are all great actors.
The Evictors
(1979)
If you like supposedly true story horror flix?
30 July 1999
Then, this is a good one for you. I actually liked it, and I originally saw it at the theater when I was a kid. There are some truly eerie characters and the plot is kinda spooky, so it's worthwhile. If you dig dusty, Southern related horror flix set in the backwoods, rent this baby....
Hardbodies
(1984)
What a story!
29 July 1999
Hey, at least this movie is what it is! A t & a classic. And, what a concept: 3 older bachelors hire a younger guy to party with them and train them on how to pick up younger women? C'mon, that's a beautiful script. Genius! All guys should rent it, especially to see the characters come clean in the end... Moral to the story: it is more important to just be yourself.
Hunter's Blood
(1986)
Pretty good premise...
28 July 1999
This movie is generally scary, especially if you enjoy movies where the theme is being "kidnapped or killed by serial killers and/or hillbillies". Kim Delaney is a hottie in this one too, but the typical dumb mistakes by the city slickers leads them to get chased all over god's creation, somewhere in backwoods Arkansas. When you receive warnings from the locals not to go somewhere, you should LISTEN!!! Overall, a must see!
Raggedy Man
(1981)
What are you waiting for...?
28 July 1999
Go Rent This Movie! Really, it's a very good drama, set in what looks like South Central/Central Texas during WWII. Spacek and Roberts reach their thespian peaks in this film. It is a true classic with tones of despair and hopelessness, followed by love/passion and intestinal fortitude. Tremendous Realism, you'll push back the tears.
Foolin' Around
(1980)
Great Film
28 July 1999
Warning: Spoilers
Even if you're not a Busey fan, you'll love Annette O'Toole and the dialogue in this jewel. Typical poor boy meets rich girl and must out-do her rich boyfriend and win the beauty. At the end, Busey (Wes) flies through the church's stained glass window on a hang-glider to object to the wedding and save her from making a big mistake. Then, a nice happy ending. Busey is funny in this one as a 70's countrified-dork. One scene has him trying to play tennis and taking a serve right in the nads...it must've taken several hundred takes to get that shot...PERFECT DATE MOVIE, especially if you're in his shoes!
The Changeling
(1980)
Top Notch Horror!
28 July 1999
Being a fan of G.C. Scott, I can't help but love this one. It will scare the socks off of you in no time. It has all the perfect elements of good drama to compliment the spooky parts too. Much, much realism! If you should rent it...turn off the lights, grab your honey...and get ready to be SCARED.
Breaking Away
(1979)
Complete Nostalgia
28 July 1999
Even if this movie doesn't stir up memories of your childhood, growing up during the 70's in midwest America (like it did for me)...you will definitely find it original and well-acted. It has all of the elements too: Love, Friendship, Loyalty, Family- and the triumph of victory and identity with that perfect ending. I'm surprised that Dennis Christopher didn't move on to bigger things like the rest of the cast did following this movie. A sleeper rental!
