Deadfall (1968)
A Real.Stinket
Typical of some off beat and weird films of the 1960s. All I can think of is that the director was trying to shock the audience, but there is shock and then there is shocking. Instead sticking to a somewhat complex heist film, the story plot goes all over the place from homosexual relationships, World War II betrayal, blackmail, adultery, mental illness, perversion, incest and murder. The funny thing, which is funny in a sarcastic way, is that none of these twists and turns makes the film even remotely interesting. Not sure why a big star like Michael Caine was at the time would star in this garbage, but like I said, it was the 60s man.
Live with Kelly and Mark (1988)
What is Going On With Mark?
Mark seems to be having some Macho or Manly issues. Don't get me wrong, I like him and always thought that he should definitely be his wife's co-host. However, recently, he seems to really be off the rails...maybe a midlife crisis? He got himself a Marine Corps boot camp haircut. This is a cut for teenagers or thugs. Even generals in the military don't have this type of cut. Also, he keeps flexing his arms all day long. He even shaves the hair on his arms. He is in his 50s and acts like a teenager who is proud of his muscles. Mark is in great shape, but flexing and flexing at his age is strange. There is an actor named Mark who is as weird, always flexing and showing off his muscles in his 50s. Definitely some Macho issues going on. Truly sad that some men have to prove their manhood every second of every minute of every hour of their life.
The Brady Bunch: Kelly's Kids (1974)
Brooke goes dullsville
The beautiful and sexy Brooke Bundy who had big screen charisma is turned into a dull, boring, housewife, married to goody two shoes Ken Berry in this obvious attempt at creating a new television series. What were they thinking!? When Brooke appeared in Fire Creek it seemed her career was ready to take off as the next Bardot. Also, her love interest was "bad boy" Gary Lockwood. There was definitely on screen chemistry between the two. Why Brooke or her agent(s) or Hollywood wanted to turn this exciting, sensual and sultry actress into Miss Boring is beyond me. She had no chemistry at all with even duller Ken Berry. Anyhow, this episode was a complete flop. Brooke could of been the next Bardot or Carrol Baker, instead she became Miss Dullsville.
Bonanza: The Truckee Strip (1959)
Why!?
This was a decent episode, but has a sad and tragic ending. Why? Simple, it seems in most of the 1950s-1960s series, especially Westerns, any woman who falls in love with one of the main characters has to die. Why? Sad endings was a norm in most tv Westerns as was senseless and even sadistic violence. Why? The whole thing has me perplexed, but maybe most people like to watch sad and tragic endings or senseless violence or sadistic violence. James Coburn has a distasteful role in this episode and overplayed being a psycho. Honestly, he showed little acting skills and was just dismal. Adrienne Hayes stole the show. She was not only attractive, cute and adorable, but she could act. Amazed her career never really took off.
Iron Man (1951)
Ridiculous, But Still Entertaining
Honestly, this boxing film is mediocre at best. The whole thing is ridiculous and cartoonish. Mr Chandler goes bonkers in the ring and develops an iron chin and one punch knockout power. The boxing scenes are so over the top you want to break out laughing. Honestly, none of the actors process even basic boxing skills to make the fight scenes even remotely realistic. The nicknames of Coke and Speedy for the two main characters is enough to get you laughing so hard as to fall off your chair. I gave the movie a decent rating only because I am a big fan of both Jeff Chandler and Rock Hudson. Definitely does not rate as an all time great, but still possible entertainment.
The Magnificent Seven (2016)
Nothing Original in Politically Correct Film
Yep, the remake is more related to today's norms and believes, then the wild West. Ethnic groups had to be represented in time when few were involved or allowed to partake as lawmen or bounty hunters..Also, while the action is "fun" it is totally predictable and cartoonish. The Magnificent Seven never miss, never reload, never lose and never seemed the least bit concerned about anything. One of the Seven is identified as a Confederate Sniper with 23 confirmed kills. Hello! Is this a Viet Nam War movie! Totally ridiculous. The bad guys are one demensional and way over the top and cartoonish. People are murdered left and right by the hundreds and no one blinks an eye. This movie is passable, but the original is much better.
The Valachi Papers (1972)
Did not hold up years later
When I first saw this film I was 13 years old and thought this was a great film..Now, in 2024, I was greatly disappointed to see how outdated this movie was. First off, the dialogue is mediocre at best. Most of it is so basic as it appeals to teenagers or adults with little imagination. Next, the acting is either way over the top or so mediocre that it seems like a junior high school.production. All the characters in the movie are horribly stereotyped and extremely exaggerated. Nothing seems real. Everyone comes across at cartoonish at best. Bronson tries his best, but he is surrounded by nothing relating to real talent. Lino Ventura stares and looks tough, but not much else. Sexy Maria Baxa is a show stealer, but is limited to acting like an airhead. Fair film.
The Legend of Tom Dooley (1959)
Gunsmoke Set
This is just a fair film made on a shoe string budget. The interesting thing is it was filmed on the same set as the television series, Gunsmoke. I immediately recognized the staircase leading to Doc's office and of course Matt Dillon's sheriff office. Not a big deal, as a matter of fact is it one of the few positive aspects of the movie. The acting is subpar at best. The dialogue isn't much better. The action scenes are mediocre. I wanted to like this film as I like most of the cast members, but I really couldn't find much to like. These type of Westerns were a dime a dozen and usually were shown in drive-in theaters where couples were too busy making out then pay attention.
Safe (2012)
Demented garbage
What is the point of this trash. Why make a demented film and involve a young girl. The girl can't act. She walks like a zombie, is wooden and emotionless and talks in choppy sentences. Shirley Temples legend has nothing to worry about. The supporting cast is horrible. Some of the worst over the top acting. When Cagney played psycho, he was a great actor. These guys are just cartoonish and exaggerated. Sorry, but they stink the place out. The whole story plot is ridiculous and only a pre teenager could take this even remotely seriously. Jason is Jason. See him once, you see him a thousand times. Yet, he is laughing all the way to the bank.
Chisum (1970)
They never run out of bullets
Typical John Wayne film with some ridiculous shootouts and fight scenes and even more ridiculous dialogue, yet somehow still entertaining. The funny thing is that no one ever seems to run out of bullets. They just shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot till the end of time. Ha! And of course, the bad guys almost always miss, yet John Wayne and company just point their guus and the bad guys fall dead. There is some fair acting from Forest Tucker and Christopher George as the bad guys. However, most of the performances are subpar and are either over or under acted. The title song is the best part of the movie.
Three Guns for Texas (1968)
So Bad, It's Good.....
Yep, the whole thing is made for corny laughs. More slapstick then real humor. The dialogue is very infantile and totally ridiculous, but that's the idea. No one with half a brain can take any of this seriously. All fluff despite rugged actors like gruffy talking war hero Neville Brand and muscleman William Smith. The shootouts and the fights are more along the Keystone Cops. The story plot is as basic c as basic can be and is geared towards kids and preteens. However, adults looking for some simplicity, can get a few laughs, a few chuckles and some rainy night entertainment. The overall acting is pretty bad, especially from those actors performing as Native Americans.
The Sons of Katie Elder (1965)
Overboard on Katie
The whole film the people of the town ramble on like cult members about the virtues of Katie Elder. You would think they were talking about Mother Theresa. After a while the whole thing started getting on my nerves. Katie is supposed to be this perfect mother of all times, yet her sons are gamblers, gunmen, brawlers and lazy good for nothings. In other words, the whole premise of the film is ridiculous. Everyone over or under acts. The bad guys are cartoon characters and totally stereotyped. George Kennedy and Jeremy Slate are both horrible here, way overplaying their roles. Just a fair film to me.
Make Room for Daddy (1953)
Despite All The Screaming!
Seems almost every TV series thinks that screaming and yelling is funny..Examples: Sgt Bilko, The Honeymooners, All In The Family, The Danny Thomas Show and many more. Personally, all the yelling gives me a headache and I don't find it the least bit laughable. With that said, Danny Thomas is very likeable and clearly very talented. The story plots are usually pretty good and with the screaming aside very entertaining. The supporting cast is always good and the actresses who play Danny's wife and maid usually steal the episode. Everyone has good on screen chemistry and the shows are always positive and uplifting.
Point Blank (1967)
Despite Everything, Outstanding Action Film.
Yep, I gave this movie a 10 rating. Moved fast, great action and some standout performances. However, the dialogue most of the time sounded infantile and utterly unbelievable. The most ridiculous wad when Carol O'Connor screams, "Walker! You're a bad man!" A lot more, but not worth repeating. The acting by the ladies, both beautiful, was terrible. They sounded like they were reading or just repeating memorized lines. And the plot was unbelievable. With all this said, it was still a great action film. The supporting cast of John Vernon and Michael Strong; stole the film. Both have outstanding performances. Lee Marvin, despite hardly speaking the entire movie was also a standout. Some brutal violent scenes, a complete downer, yet still Great.
Hardcore Pawn (2009)
Infantile Humor, Disgusting Stereotypes, but Strangely Entertaining
This show in reality should be flushed down the toilet. The whole thing seems geared to junior high schools kids or adults lacking any type of education. The humor is toilet bowl and making fun of demented or mentally challenged people is not funny. The stereotypes are racist and the Golds help to facilitate antisemitism due to their money hungry attitudes. With all that said, the show can be entertaining in a weird and demented way. Sometimes one has to wonder if most of the show is scripted and fake or do they cruise around picking up mentally ill people, paying them twenty bucks to act insane on television. Who knows?.But more importantly, who cares.
Arizona Bushwhackers (1968)
Senior Citizen Western
The only interest of this nothing special B Western is the all star faded movie star cast. The main stars were all in their late forties, but all looked like they were in their sixties. I guess in the 1960s, movie stars did not age well. Paunchy Howard Keel was the star of this dull mess. He sleep walks his role and is dull as can be, yet the two main actresses find him totally irresistible. Ha! Yvonne De Carlo gives the films best performance, but it is laughable as she acts like a teenage virgin, despite the fact she is nearing fifty. Miss Maxwell tries her best to be the town's sexpot, but is just too old. Of course everyone in the film is practically a senior citizen, so I guess for them Miss Maxwell was a real hottie. The shootouts were void of any suspense and the whole film is just a boring, dull mess.
Acts of Vengeance (2017)
Beyond Stupid
Sorry, but this movie not only doesn't have any redeeming value, but it is the stupidest movie ever made. The acting is wooden and cartoonish. Antonio is terrible here. His facial expression doesn't change the whole film. He is just a dead pan, wooden, void of expression, boring guy. The film is completely stereotypes with all the bad guys over the top. The coos are either dumb, dumber or dumbest. A big shot lawyer's family is murdered and it gets no news coverage and the police force, for no logical reason, just doesn't care. Like I said, Stupid as stupid can be. Of course the whole film is just an excuse for senseless violence. Bag this film with your garbage and throw it in back of a garbage truck.
Rambo: Last Blood (2019)
Demented Trash With No Redeeming Value
What is the point of this film. It is just sick, sadistic toilet trash which needs to be flushed a dozen times down the toilet bowel. Watching "Rambo" come up with a thousand ways to kill is suppose to be entertaining. The whole show is stupid, cartoonish and totally unbelievable. A total war is going on and no one notices the explosion...Stupid! The bad guys are completely stereotyped and are just ridiculously idiotic. Honestly, who can find this senseless violent film entertaining. Hard to find enough adjectives to describe this mess. Stallone should be embarrassed by this whole thing. This is not entertainment. Flush it!
'Northwest Passage' (Book I -- Rogers' Rangers) (1940)
Shocking Prediction of Things to Come
For a film made in 1940, it was shockingly violent and brutal. It was savage. Graphic details of sadistic torture with no horrible detail left out. Hearing it reminds one of the savage brutality of World War II and later Viet Nam. It is extremely rare for a 1940 film to show psychopathic behavior in war. Torture, decapitation, sadism and cannibalism were not pleasant subjects to address especially for prewar American. On a more pleasant note, the acting was outstanding, especially Spencer Tracy. Outstanding battle scenes and incredible scenery. Definitely not a film for everyone, especially young children.
The Sergeant (1968)
Homosexual Panic
This was an extremely controversial film for its time. It is well acted, especially by Rod Steiger. The supporting cast, for the most part, is okay. The film is very slow paced and most of the cast appear as very dull, listless and without any real energy. What I felt was weird throughout the movie was that numerous people would say how there is something strange about Rod Steiger's character. Seems that as soon as Steiger arrives at the military base that everyone developed homosexual panic. Why would a career master sargent suddenly make every other soldier uncomfortable. A lot of sexual symbolism throughout, a lot of strange stares for no good reason and of course everyone is in a homosexual panic. John Phillip Law was so wooden and void of emotion that it is hard to believe that anyone, male or female could be romantically interested in him. Outdated today, but still interesting.
Three's Company (1976)
The Gay Deceiver
Outdated, but still fun. Politically incorrect today, but who cares. The Gay jokes were milked for all its worth and after a zillion times it just loses steam. However, putting the show in it's time zone, it is funny, lighthearted and entertaining. Also, the threesome theme still generates laughs, but after so many times it just loses its flare. John Ritter was at his slapstick best and had on screen chemistry with all his co-stars. Tragic that he died so young. Don Knotts and Norman Fell were both great and added to the comedy of the series. Of course all the ladies were not only beautiful, but had comedic talent. Entertaining fluff.
Point Break (1991)
Stupid, but fun and entertaining
Cartoonish film with over the top characters and less then believable plot, . ArGbut still a lot of fun to watch and very entertaining. Most of the characters are basically stereotypes of what Hollywood believes surfers look like and act like. The FBI is shown to be "Keystone Cops." The surfing dudes are out of control daredevils who do whatever they want without any consequences. Not sure if most of the movie is made for laughs as most of the scenes are funny. Mr Reeves is not at his performance best. His acting here is mediocre at best, but he looks good at the beach and I guess that is good enough. Gary B. Steals the whole movie with his typical zany over the top performance. Lots of pretty girls, good looking surfers and fights and shootouts. Just a fun time at the movies.
They Died with Their Boots On (1941)
Great Entertainment despite historical inaccuracy
This is a real old fashion entertaining film. Fast paced, well acted most of the time, lots of action and also humorous. Mr Flynn is at his dashing best; handsome, tall, and of course heroic. The film is stolen by Arthur Kennedy as Flynn's nemesis. Kennedy's facial expressions throughout the film are outstanding. Of course the entire film is pure fluff and one hundred percent historically inaccurate. Pure propaganda regarding military glory and pride. In typical Hollywood fashion, the hero and company face certain death with a smile and a shrug of shoulder. In a sidebar, reportedly three stuntmen died in making the film which is tragic. And of course the Urban Legend of Native American sports hero Jim Thorpe knocking out Mr Flynn with one punch in an off camera dispute. Yep, an extra is going to knockout one of the biggest movie stars at that time and not get fired or arrested. Definitely, true.... Not!
Raise the Titanic (1980)
Not that bad
Alright, it's not Macbeth or even Gone With The Wind, but it's entertaining enough. For it's time, the special effects were pretty good. The main standout is Richard Jordan. He is excellent here and looks great. Tragic that he died so young. He definitely has screen chemistry with Ann Archer and he is makes the film. Jason Robards is not bad either, and though his scenes are limited, his acting abilities shine through. Ann Archer is as beautiful as ever and she is not only attractive, but likeable as well. The whole premise of the film is interesting, and you kind of want it to be true. But, it's only a movie.
Warlock (1959)
Gaylock
Yep, this was definitely a film with Gay overtones, which is fine. Anthony Quinn is clearly madly in love with Henry Fonda; almost obsessed. Also, he travels around with curtains and various other dwelling trappings to decorate their hotel room, which Fonda allows him to do. Yep, a very nice couple. Why Quinn had to have a clubfoot is perplexing. Maybe some sort of symbolism of a crippled soul. Remember this was from the 1950s and "gay" characters in films usually had physiological issues and almost always ended up dead. The whole movie had a psychoanalysis to it. Seemed all the men had manly issues and were way overboard trying to show how manly they were. With all this said, I enjoyed the film. Most of the acting was good and Fonda and Quinn worked well together. Richard Widmark was his typical excitable and hysterical self. Warlock is worth a look.
