Carriers (2009)
Awful doesn't begin to describe this movie
This was a missed opportunity to write, what could have been an intriguing movie. The opening scene clearly delineates the tempo, which crawls rather than moves, of the movie and also the future occurrences. The predictability is bothersome and transparent. The characters are shallowly presented and highly unlikable, and and in my opinion, frankly deserved whatever happened to them. An adequate synopsis of the title would be: Beer swilling protagonist imbecile drives around the desert, drinks, drinks more, acts like an imbecile some more and then expires. As far as the ending it appears more likely the money for the project ended, once they saw what had been printed.
Palm Springs Weekend (1963)
The1963 Thunderbird is the best thing about this movie
I first saw this movie as a young person under 10, and didn't understand the dramatic essence. I think this is probably Robert Conrad's best dramatic part, very troubled and complex.
The car, a 1963 Thunderbird roadster, still is the real star of this movie, as far as I am concerned. The comedy was adequate for the era, but a bit over the top.
The car chase is, for it's time very appropriate, but as a child I was very concerned about Stretch, LOL such an altruistic lad, I think Stephanie Powers is one of the most beautiful female actresses that has ever graced the screen!
This is a great movie for historians, if they care to investigate the culture and mores of 1963.
