VHS : The Addams Family [1991]
I'm pretty sure the last time I saw this film I must have been less than 6 years old, and now over 13 years later, I caught this film on TV and decided to re-visit the family that, I have been told, as a kid I not only adored watching on film but on the cartoon tv series too. Well, what can I say - I'm sure this stuff must have had some sort of diverse effect on my mental well-being as a child, and I can say honestly had an effect on my sense of humour - I find this kind of stuff hilarious.

Don't get me wrong, this film isn't great by any stretch of the immagination. The plot is horrifically predictable, the film just isn't very exciting, never seeming to go anywhere, never raising my excitement or getting me personally involved. ... Read More:

VHS : Frankenstein Unbound [1991]
Joseph Buchanan enters the past through a gateway in a cloud during a storm. He is transported together with his "knightrider" type car back to the early nineteenth century. He hides the car and goes to explore, wandering into a "dracula" type scenario with people going about their ordinary daily business in a small village. Firstly, he meets Victor Frankenstein in an Inn and starts to discuss his work, much to Frankenstein's amazement, as his work is "unknown". Then, Buchanan meets Mary (not yet married to Percy Shelley) at a witch trial. She is surprised that he knows her book as she has only written a few chapters and is unpublished. Later, she goes for a ride in his "electric carriage".

In essence the film is similar to a dream ... Read More:

VHS : Kiss of the Spider Woman [1985]
An electrifying performance by Hurt is the center piece of this movie. He plays a gay prisoner who shares a cell with a straight political activist (Julia). They form a meaningful relationship, with each using his own perspective to cope. Hurt fantasizes about old Hollywood movies. Director Babenco brilliantly meshes illusion and reality to take us through the story.

She's a pleasant young woman who always dresses in light colors and has a demeanor that would win you over. That is, until you find out that she's been responsible for the deaths of several other people and is after your fortune like her life depends on it.

This is Debbie Jelinsky, and her life story reads like something out of "East of Eden" in which the main heroine did some unspeakable things to everyone who came in touch with her, including and beginning with her parents. She's been assigned to take care of the Addams children because as of late they've taken a homicidal interest in their youngest brother Pubert and no other nanny seems able to handle their recklessness. Of course, no one realizes that she's after Uncle Fester and ... Read More:

VHS : The Rookie [1990]
Clint Eastwood on automatic pilot is a lot better than some peoples best films, so make no mistake this may be the worst film ever that he directed himself but its still pretty good. In fact for me it would have been 3.5 stars.

Its really a Dirty Harry film under another name, and with a decent cast including the always watchable Charlie Sheen its an easy way to pass an hour and a half. There are a couple of laugh out loud moments, especially the seat belt gag.

Of course the reason to watch the film is the man himself. Aged 61 when this was made he was still in top shape and is effortlessly cool throughout the film. Some of the dialogue isn't as good as that in the classic Dirty Harry films but there's still enough laconic lines ... Read More:
