Dark Shadows: Episode #1.361 (1967)
This is the first review I've done for DS!
This may well be #1 In all-time worst episodes of any TV series ever made! Grayson Hall just isn't a good actress, and this is all hers! She overacts in anything that she's done in DS and this is no exception! They really needed to break up the scenes with something, ANYTHING, to get the camera off of her! Sad, too, because this is a really great series! Not sure I'm going to buy and watch the rest of the series(I've gotten set 1-7 so far)! This needs to get better very quickly!
xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)
Took me by surprise!!
After seeing the ratings here, and reading the reviews, I expected a terrible movie! This was so much better than the first two movies in the series! There's actually an intelligent plot, good acting, and as always great action! This is a movie that needs to be watched to get your own opinion, don't take it from others! I rated this a 9 to try to compensate for the really ridiculously low rating here!
Enterprise: Damage (2004)
WTF!
This is so far away from Gene's vision of the future that Braga & Berman should have been permanently exiled from Star Trek! A horrible show, and certainly not one that shows that the future is any better than what we have now: selfishness, turning our backs on those in need, and basically being A-holes! This doesn't even deserve one star!
Nowhere to Run (1993)
Didn't expect what I got!
I like most of VanDamme's movies. They're for the most part no-brain movies with a lot of action! This one, not so much! Instead we get here an actual movie with a plot and some really decent acting(yes, even VanDamme!!) Buyer by ware that there is some nudity, but it just really works with the story line! A small amount of swearing, with the F bomb dropped once! Still, worth a watch if you're a fan of good movies, and a definite watch if you've been waiting for something different with VanDamme in it!! 9/10
Wild Wild West (1999)
Loved the series - - - -
But what in the heck is this??? One of the worst movies that I've ever seen, and that's saying a lot! I really like Will Smith and Kevin Kline, but they must be absolutely embarrassed to have been involved with this! A really poor plot and extremely bad acting! Makes this movie one to avoid like the plague! The first 30 seconds is a great start, then down hill all the way after that! It just proves that when something ain't broken, DON'T FIX IT!!!!!!! RP
South Pacific (1958)
One of the great musicals of our time!
Honestly, a very simple movie about love and war in the 1940s, starring Rossano Brazzi and Mitzi Gaynor, with Ray Walston(My Favorite Martian), France Nuyen (Star Trek: TOS episode "Elan Of Troyius" as the lead character, Elan along with several other guest starring roles on various TV shows), Ron Ely(Tarzan himself), Doug McClure(Checkmate, The Virginian, Maverick - the movie & several "B" sci-fi movies such as The People That Time Forgot & The Land That Time Forgot) and Jack Mullaney(The Absent Minded Professor & several Elvis movies including Tickle Me and Spinout) co-starring!
This has some of the most beautiful scenery in any movie at any time, along with just the right amount of humor and a sweet but tragic love story! And really an amazingly thoughtful subject that, for it's time, was completely kept hush-hush(bigotry)!!
Some really great, unforgettable music here including: Bloody Mary, There's Nothing Like A Dame, Bali Ha'i, I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair, Younger Than Springtime, Happy Talk, and the very beautiful Some Enchanted Evening!!
The only flaw in the whole movie is that for some strange reason the director decided to film some scenes with a yellow haze which does nothing but detract from the beauty of the islands! Even the director himself admits that "This was the biggest mistake of my career"!! Even still, this is a movie not to miss!!! A+
High Road to China (1983)
Finally released on DVD!!!!
OK, no, it's not Gone With the Wind! BUT - - - If you want a movie that has a great story line, great charisma, great actors, great cinematography and an absolutely wonderful soundtrack, you have to watch this movie! High Road to China offends no one, no swearing, no nudity, and an all around great family film!!! Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong compliment each other wonderfully, and one of my favorite character actors, Wilford Brimley, is great as usual!! Robert Morley plays his role with great humor!! The bi-plane scenes are beautifully done, as is the John Barry soundtrack!! All in all, a wonderful movie that I hope all Tom Selleck fans will watch and give it a great review here!!! RP
