Matinee

Our review:Description:John Goodman is at his uproarious best as the gregarious creator of sci-fi thrillers, circa 1962, who brings his unique brand of showmanship to the unsuspecting residents of Key West, Florida for the premiere of his latest offering on the eve of the Cuban Missile Crisis. :Matinee offers one of the best matches of director and screenplay that you're ever likely to find. Raised on a steady diet of 1950s monster movies, Joe Dante later contributed to the genre with such films as Gremlins and Explorers, but it was Charlie Haas's script for Matinee that gave Dante a perfect platform for ...

Troublesome Creek - A Midwestern
(more)
»rank: 55354
Our review:Description:Red River, High Noon, Gunsmoke - Westerns, where the bad guys sometimes won but never prevailed. Troublesome Creek is a Midwestern. It's the story of the Jordan family's struggle to save their Iowa farm. From crossing the Mississippi in 1867 to driving to Daddy Date Night in 1967. From fighting off the Crooked Creek Gang in the 1880s to fighting off the bank today. Now, with their backs against the wall, the Jordans confront the very worst with their very best. Troublesome Creek is wry and emotional without being sentimental. It's a cliffhanger about history, loss and the humor and deep ...

The Protector

Our review: :In Jackie Chan's first American movie, Chan and Danny Aiello (Do the Right Thing, Moonstruck) are cops who don't play by the rules. They're sent to Hong Kong to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a wealthy New York scumbag who's mixed up with an insidious heroin kingpin; to investigate, they go to a massage parlor, where the women try to kill them in the middle of providing sexual favors. It's not surprising that the gunplay is mundane, but even Chan's fight sequences are banal and unsurprising. The only entertainment value comes from absurdities, like a band of carjackers dressed like Adam ...

Dawn of the Dead - The Original Director's Cut (Collector's Edition)
(more)
»rank: 28705
Our review: :Are you ready to get down with the sickness? Movie logic dictates that you shouldn't remake a classic, but Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead defies that logic and comes up a winner. You could argue that George A. Romero's 1978 original was sacred ground for horror buffs, but it was a low-budget classic, and Snyder's action-packed upgrade benefits from the same manic pacing that energized Romero's continuing zombie saga. Romero's indictment of mega-mall commercialism is lost (it's arguably outmoded anyway), so Snyder and screenwriter James Gunn compensate with the same setting--in this case, a Milwaukee shopping mall under siege by ...
