Short And Sweet Movie Reviews

By Emily Jones

In the past you had to go to a store if you wanted to rent or buy a movie. You can now save a trip to the video store and download movies right off the internet. You can get virtually any movie you want with a good movie download site. Here are some examples.

Last Summer in the Hamptons: An self conscious youthful film megastar Foyt shows up in the summer society of East Hampton, Long Island, and gets to be engaged with the numerous show people who contain a circumscribe of buddies-lovers-companions. Cast includes Viveca Lindfors, Jon Robin Baitz, Savannah Boucher, Roscoe Lee Browne, Diane Salinger, and Kristoffer Tabori. (105 minutes, 1995)

Deliverance: This is an excellent re-creation of the Dickey novel of 4 Atlanta businessmen who get more than they can handle throughout a weekend canoe trip. McKinney and Coward are 2 of the most horrifying film scoundrels in history. The "Dueling Banjos" scene is very memorable. Film debuts of Beatty and Cox. James Dickey adjusted his own novel, and appears in the film as a sheriff. Ed O'Neill appears as a freeway watcher near end of film. Cast includes Cast includes Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, Ronny Cox, Billy McKinney, Herbert "Dude" Coward, and James Dickey. (109 minutes, 1972)

Carlito's Way: Just out of prison on a technicality, heroin trafficker Carlito vows to go straight. He invests in a club, and starts saving money for a move to the Bahamas, and a new life. His problem is that his past won't leave him alone, and he gets drawn back into that violent world.

Live Fetish: Infatuated child of a prostitute is incarcerated for unintentionally shooting and paralyzing a cop throughout. Originally beaming story of man teenager's identity emergency gets to be ponderous while it turns into a mom -child soap opera with incestuous implications. Cinematically stimulating, albeit, with a bravura finale. Cast includes Pedro Almodovar, Liberto Rabal, Francesca Neri, Javier Bardem, Angela Molina, Jose Sancho, and Penelope Cruz. (100 minutes, 1997)

The Flintstons: Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble both work at Slate and Co. rock mines, and are your ordinary family men. The only difference is that they live in the stone ages. Life in the stone ages is no different than now, and soon Fred finds that he is being set up to be the fall guy in a big embezzlement scheme.

Bulletproof Monk: Grub plays a friar who on no account ages when he wards an old scroll that acquires the secret of endless electricity although now it's time to find a replacement, and he imagines it might be youthful pickpocket Scott, of all individuals. Energetic and entertaining while it doesn't get too stupid; alas, visual effects take the place of authentic martial-crafts action most of the time. Co-produced by John Woo, and based on a comic magazine of the identical name. Cast includes Grub Yun-Fat, Seann William Scott, Jaime James Baron, Karel Roden, and Victoria Smurfit. (103 minutes, 2003)

Mac and Me: Sort of an E.T. copy in reference to Mac, an outer space being, and his plight in suburban L.A. It is more of a television advertisement than a film. There's a production number set in a McDonald's, and the alien subsists by slurping Coca-Cola. Cast includes Christine Ebersole, Jonathan Ward, Katrina Caspary, Lauren Stanley, and Jade Calegory. (93 minutes, 1988)

The Priests Wife: Hardly amusing blend of tirade and humor with Loren as disenchanted singer who imagines she could persuade pastor Mastroianni to acquire discharge from his promise of celibacy and wed her. Weightier addressing of topic might be heard on stereo chat shows; film appears laid out barely as car for 2 megastars. Cast includes Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni, Venantino Venantini, Jacques Stany, Pippo Starnazza, and Augusto Mastrantoni. (106 minutes, 1971)

The Last Time: Nation bumpkin Ferder is moved to the N.Y. home outside of a business where sales exec. Keaton prides himself on his take-no-captives strategies. He mentors the ignorant newcomer and ends up in bed with his attractive spouse. There's more going on than meets the eye albeit the setup is permanently evident. Little-group stuff, however Keaton is excellent. Cast includes Michael Keaton, Brendan Fraser, Amber Valletta, Daniel Stem, Neal McDonough, and William Ragsdale. (96 minutes, 2007)

Remember, be creative and use phrases like "Direct Movie Downloads". Try a new phrase if that one did not work. You should punch in "View Movies Online" for another set of results.
