The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977)
Scientists Foolin' Around With Stuff They Shouldn't
"The Island of Dr. Moreau" 1977 PG 1h 39m
Disturbing subject matter, but a fair movie. I never liked Michael York, in his day. Thought he was pompous, overly dramatic, and gay. But surprisingly to me, he actually fits in this movie quite well. All the actors were good, but all of them were also a little stiff.
I would single out Barbara Carrera. Obviously she is the T&A; and I give her a 9 for that. But, she isn't a half bad actress. I kinda like the stuff she has done over the years.
I hate comparing adaptations and steenking books. I have never read the book, and I don't care. I am a movie buff. This 1997 version is a classic in it's own right. I remember it being widely discussed in 1977. It was quite the topic of conversation, for it's subject matter. I know. I was there.
I was also there when the '66 one came out, and when the '96 one came out. The '66 one caused quite the furor, also. But, we're not here to review those.
All aspects of the cinematography of '77 are excellent. The director strives to give it that feeling of the correct setting. The sets are costumes are well done, and period specific. Even the music harks back to the turn of the century. The photography is pretty good for 1977. If I was the King of Hollywood, back in '77, I would have insisted they adjust the screenplay. It seems like it stumbles along.
And guess what? Noflicks doesn't carry it. But, you can watch it free on YouTube!

The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981)
You Don't Tug On The Mask Of The Lone Ranger
"The Legend Of The Long Ranger" 1981 PG 1h 38m.
I never watched this movie until today. It was free on YouTube, and I watched bits and pieces. For 40 years, I refused to watch this movie. I still haven't forgotten how these studios, Eaves Movie Ranch and Incorporated Television Company (ITC) treated Clayton Moore. And I am pretty certain I remember Universal's name getting bandied about in the news, also. I know they had their fingers in it, as distributors.
Moore tried to get the role of the Ranger. The studios said, no. Then, Moore stepped on toes by appearing in his old Lone Ranger costume at grocery stores and malls. They brought suit against him, and legally restrained him from doing it again. Yeah, Moore was in the wrong . . . But man . . . Talk about deficating in your own boot. The studio could have paid him for doing appearances, and played it up! Imagine having Clayton Moore, in costume, at the premiere!!! They would have made millions! Instead, they abused Moore because of their childish, egotistical, boys in a sand box moves, and they lost millions. I know I was not the only person that boycotted this movie. It cost $18M. It grossed $13M. Too bad, so sad. That's what you get for tugging on the mask of The Lone Ranger.
I know what was going on. ITC is a British studio, and they were getting even with Americans for the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Seriously. They were going to stick it an American icon, and take our money. Or so they thought. I don't know who's bigger; The Lone Ranger or Superman.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but they told parts of the story in a very different way than we've heard before.
Almost as strange, is listening to Merle Haggard narrate the story. His voice and accent is just wrong for this.
Then they cast Christopher Lloyd as Cavendish, the bad guy. And that is a little hard to take. I will give it to Lloyd, he does a really good job. It's just hard to picture him as a bad guy, in a western, after seeing him as the stoner, taxicab driver, Jim Ignatowski ("Taxi" 1978).
The movie isn't half bad. And it has great photography in it. But man, this will go down in history as a giant FUp.
Oh gee. Noflicks doesn't carry it!

El desperado (1967)
If it ain't dusty in Texas, it's muddy
"The Dirty Outlaws" 1967 R 1h 43m
Original title: El desperado
AKA: Big Ripoff
Release in the U. S. in 1971
It's a paella and spaghetti western.
It's actually a pretty good yarn, with half decent acting. But, let's not carried away with these 8/10 ratings. I mean, you put this above the Eastwood spaghetti movies? Really? The dubbing alone drags this one down to a 7. LOL The acting isn't terrible, but it isn't really all that good either. The directing is typical of spaghetti westerns. If fact I think spaghetti westerns were a way of laughing at American westerns.
All in all, I liked this movie. There is believeable tension between the characters, and there is sexual tension between Steve, Katy, and Lucy. But, it's not a fairy tale ending for the girls.

Solar Strike (2006)
The Dud That Lands With A Thud
"Solar Attack" 2006 TV movie aka "Solar Strike"
The actors are OK. Stephen McHattie is great. Louis Gossett Jr. Is a very good actor He is likeable as the Prez. Much as I love the personality of Joanne Kelly, she really is a terrible actress. But she is just so darn warm and likeable. In spite of her wooden acting, I loved her as Myka in Warehouse 13.
There are several things seriously wrong with Solar.
The sets are pathetic! Wow! Talk about cheezy and cheap. And then, there is the technical stuff. I don't look for goofs and stuff like some people. I tend to sit back and just watch a movie. But the technical errors in this movie will boggle the mind of anyone who's made it through the 11th grade. You can't ignore this stuff, and it jerks you out of the movie.
The SFX are really bad. I understand budget movies, but to my way of thinking, if you don't have the money or skill to do it reasonably well .... don't show how badly you can do it . . over and over again. Just don't show it at all. The views of the solar flares weren't bad, because they stole them. The submarines weren't bad, because they stole them also. But, the floating wispy CME's were cringe worthy. And they kept doing it!
And then, there is the lame writing! Again . . Wow. It's horrible. This movie is an insult to TV movies! It actually hurts to watch it. And, yes, I watched the whole thing. It intrigued me where it was going. I can say that for the movie. I wanted to see how it ended.

Force 10 from Navarone (1978)
Fun, Entertaining, But Low Cinematography
"Force 10 from Navarone" 1978 PG 1h 58m is pretty good, but it's not nearly as good as everyone claims. I think people rate old movies more on the flag waving than the actual quality of the movie. // Harrison Ford was not that good an actor back in those days. The story is interesting but it's not really all that well written. The picture quality is mediocre. It is certainly fun, and worth watching, but let's not get crazy with the 5 votes! "Kelly's Heroes" and "Where Eagles Dare" are way better. // The Bushwacker 12/26/2021.
El precio de un hombre: The Bounty Killer (1966)
Cookie Cutter
"The Ugly Ones" 1966 1h 35m
Original title: El precio de un hombre
AKA The Bounty Killer
This is a paella AND a spaghetti western. It was filmed in Spain, produced by Italians, and came in both Spanish and Italian, originally. It was released in the U. S. in 1968. The story is pretty good, but the cinematrography is lacking. The directing stinks. The photography is bad. The camera shots and setups are horrible. And the music is downright annoying in parts. Thomas Milian as the bad guy, Jose, is terrible. Richard Stapley as Luke, the bounty hunter, is actually pretty good and a likeable man. Halina Zalewska as Eden is acceptable, but mediocre.
The plot is shockingly cookie cutter and worn out.

The Last Vermeer (2019)
True Tale - Historical - Extremely Good Acting
"The Last Vermeer" 2019 R 1h 58m. It is a historical, crime drama, mystery. There is a lot of psycho-babble for 1/2 of the movie. But still, it is very interesting, and it is a true tale.
Guy Pearce's character, Han Van Meegeren, fancies himself as being the world's greatest omniscient and the world's greatest people watcher. Pearce really shines in this role. He really is a very good, dramatic, actor.
Olivia Grant plays Cootje Henning. When you see her, in this movie, you will remember her from something, but can't put your finger on it. She played the Girl Bernard in the movie, "Stardust".
I've never heard of most of the actors in this movie, but they are all very good in their roles. Exceptional acting in this movie.
I have to say, this movie is very good. It was well written, and well directed. But, it's not quite my cup of tea. I am more of a lover of action movies. This is a lot of drama, with a lot of speeches. It could be converted into a stage play, quite easily.

Al di là della legge (1968)
Average Spaghetti Western
"Beyond the Law" 1968 PG 1h 30m
Original title: Al di là della legge.
It's a typical spaghetti western; filmed in Italy; in Italian; and now has English dubbing.
It has decent action, with a cookie cutter plot.
Lee Van Cleef stars as Billy Joe Cudlip, criminal turned sheriff! Van Cleef is awesome, as always.
Lionel Stander as Preacher, stands out (pun intended) and provides great comic relief. Bud Spencer is noticable as the money grubbing owner of the silver mine. And, Ann Smyrner is cute and bouncey, and provides the T&A.
Romano Puppo plays Burton, the leader of the bandits, and he is awesome. He wears this black, flat brimmed hat and a long, black, silk cape and he looks like Bela Lugosi playing Zorro. It's makes me think, A. That this is really good, but weird, costuming for 1968, and, B. He really really looks creepy. I can just imagine that in a theater, when Puppo finally gets winged, and falls to his death, the whole audience cheers! The director does a shot from above, showing Puppo lying face down in the dirt, with his cape artistically spread out. Great scene.
Overall, the picture and the sound are pretty bad. Partly because they waited too long to transfer this one from the old film. Still, it's a romp.
And guess what? Noflicks does not carry this one. LOL

Young Billy Young (1969)
Howard Hawks Rides Again
"Young Billy Young" 1969 G 1h 29m. What a great movie. Admittedly, it's pretty cookie-cutter. The plot is like 10,000 other westerns. But, it's still swashbuckling fun. It's all about the characters. Really reminds me of Rio Bravo, and El Dorado. Angie Dickinson was in Rio Bravo. And Robert Mitchum was in El Dorado. Kind of the same settings and plots. Both of those movies, and this one were directed by Howard Hawks. // And guess what? Noflicks does not carry, Young Billy Young! LMAO // The Bushwacker 12/24/2021.
Today You Die (2005)
Better Than Average Seagal Movie
"Today You Die" 2005 R Straight to video 1h 30m. It is a pretty good Seagal movie, and a notch better than some of his stuff. // Great sound in the movie. Awesome on a good 5.1. As good as the sound is, the music stinks. Much of the background music is orchestral and scored for the movie, but it's uninspired. But then, they throw in those occassional horrible rap things, that Seagal seems to put in his later movies. Geeze Steven, stop trying to legitimize rap carp as music. It only encourages them to make more! // The photography in this Seagal movie is better than many of his others. Plus, the SFX are pretty awesome. // The part of the story where Seagal gets thrown back in prison, for something he didn't do is old and tired. Even more cookie cutter is that he busts out of prison to prove his innocence. Only been done about 25,000 times before. I must like it; I've watched all 25,000 of those movies! // The action scenes are pretty bad, especially when they show the same bullet hits 3 times over in the same scene. Also, there are 3 long scenes in the movie, borrowed from other movies!! // The actors are pretty good, but a little bit hit and miss. Sarah Buxton as Agent Rachel Knowles is a miss. I really like Sarah as a person, and in other stuff she has done . . . But when she tries to act like the tough, betchy, FBI Agent, it makes me want to laugh. Extra credit thought: my gawd she looks like Hilary Swank in this movie. // Loved seeing Kevin Tighe again. // Another sidethought. If they hate Steven Seagal, why do the haters, watch his movies? // The Bushwacker 12/24/2021.
Da uomo a uomo (1967)
Paella Westerns Are Better Than Spaghetti Westerns
"Death Rides a Horse" 1957 R 1h 54m Original title: Da uomo a uomo // Really a good movie. As good as Clint's spaghetti westerns. The one, however is a paella western. // John Phillip Law plays the young gunslinger, Bill Meceita. He kinda reminds me of Terence Hill, a little bit. Lee Van Cleef as Ryan, is awesome as always. // The cinematography is great. Overall, the acting is a little bit off from American movies, but it's all still pretty cool. The plot is pretty cookie cutter, it's a revenge movie. The thing I notice most is the photography is amazing. When you see something like the steam locomotive, it's breathtaking. Even the sound effects and stuff are great. It's like you are standing right there. I watched it with standard def. Setup, and the picture is still breathtaking. And with my 5.1 system, the sound is really good. Better, than most of the new movies. The costumes are wonderful, but maybe a little too clean for a dusty, dirty background, as it is. The sets are splendid. The movie is really surprising for a paella western. // The Bushwacker 12/23/2021.
Straniero... fatti il segno della croce! (1968)
As Good As Any Other Spaghetti Western
"Make the Sign of the Cross, Stranger!" 1968 Original title: Straniero... fatti il segno della croce! 1h 38m.
Not half bad for a spaghetti western. Miles Deem (director) is as good, or better than, Sergio Leone. And, he's definitely better than Enzo Barboni, who did those Trinity movies.
Speaking of those Trinity movies with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer, I think Charles Southwood as Frank, the Bounty Hunter, and he is more likeable than Terence Hill.
Make The Sign is loaded with cliches, and overworked formula tactics. Why is it, the Good Guy gets royally beat up, once, in every spaghetti, paella, and tortilla western?
It's fun to watch. What more can ya say?

The Italian Job (1969)
A Wild Slapstick Comedy Movie
"The Italian Job" 1969 G 1h 39m. It's cute and funny, but it's not really very good. Don't get me wrong, it is a hoot to watch. But, it's badly written, and poorly photographed. Some of the stuff is cute; like the Mini's going down the church steps, or the scene in the round sewer. // It is miscast and merely a vehicle to hire some semi-famous actors. You get the impression that it's just thrown together, and a romp for a bunch of comedians. // And, the ending is ridiculous and very dissatisfying. // You can't even attempt to compare this to the "The Italian Job" 2003. The two movies are completely different. The only common threads are things like 3 Mini-Coopers, and some gold. // The Bushwacker 12/22/2021.
Doc (1971)
The Quintessential Doc Holiday
" 'Doc' " 1971 R 1h 36m.
.. It's another version of the old OK Corral story with the Earps and Doc Holiday. And, it's pretty good. It's very gritty. The director makes the sets and scenery look more the way it might have been: dirty, dusty, Arizona, where men are men, life is hard, and sometimes it's very short.
.. Because the movie is called Doc, it focuses on Doc. Stacy Keach does a really good job as Doc. Keach may be the quintessential, Doc Holiday! The movie touches heavily on the women involved with the Earps and Holiday. We especially get to meet Faye Dunaway as Katie (aka Big Nose Kate), Doc's girlfriend. Faye is awesome. Harris Yulin is a good actor, but he was terrible as Wyatt Earp. It's just not Yulin's thing.
.. The movie is really good, but it has it's flaws. I'm just not 100% sure about some of the writing, directing, and casting.
.. FYI: She was just called Katie in this movie. In most of the Earp movies she is known as Kate or Big Nose Kate. In real life, she went by a lot of names: she was also known as Katie Elder, Kate Fisher, Nosey Kate, Mrs. John H. "Doc" Holliday, Kate Melvin, and Kate Cummings. Don't ask me why. I'm just the messenger. I'm guessing because she was a prostitute and moved a lot.
.. And oh gee, guess what? Noflicks doesn't carry this one. Only one of the best OK Corral movies of all time! LMAO

Ocaso de un pistolero (1965)
Cheezy Spanish Movie With English Dubbing
"Gunman's Hands" 1965 1h 28m
Original title: Ocaso de un pistolero e un pistolero
AKA Hands Of A Gunfighter (YouTube)
It's pretty cheezy and it is English dubbed. The lack of synchronization of voice and lips adds to the cheeziness. LOL Plus, the actors doing the voices are pretty bad.
In spite of all that, the movie is kind of fun to watch.
Are you ready for this. Noflicks does not carry this one! LMAO What a shocker.

The Big Fall (1997)
Film Noir / Private Dick Movie Complete With Trumpet Mute
"The Big Fall" 1997 Straight to Video R 1h 30m.
It was released direct to video on October 14, 1997, having previously aired on HBO in April 1997.
Interesting side note, C Thomas Howell directs this as well as acting in it. That ain't easy. On top of that, Howell is an excellent actor. Waaaay better than Bruce Willis.
Sophie Ward plays Emma Roussell, the slinky, sultry, femme fatale. She speaks slowly and deliberately in that manner that inflames a boy's passions. She even makes smoking a cigarette a sexual experience.
Some like to call it film noir. I just like to think of this genre as, seedy PI. You know the ones. Seedy office. Rumpled suit. Bottle of whiskey in the bottom desk drawer. Hero gets beat up a lot.
There is a lot witty tough-guy banter and gritty narration in a silly Bogart-esque style. I think it is that narrating that sets the film noir / PI movies apart from other movies. Remember the Spillane movies with Stacey Keach? Or, the Baretta TV Series with Robert Blake?
If you've never heard of this one before, it's a really good movie. But then, I like seedy PI movies. It has an interesting, and original story. William Applegate Jr. Wrote the screenplay. He wrote many, including, "L. A. Heat" 1996.
That wailing trumpet with a mute, swirls throughout the whole movie. I love it. Again setting the mood for the seedy PI movie.
Are you ready for this. Noflicks does not carry this one! LMAO What a shocker. I wore out my VHS copy, and had to buy a DVD copy in order to watch it every so often.

The Suicide Squad (2021)
DC Loses To Marvel, Once Again
"The Suicide Squad" 2021 R 2h 12m is a good movie on one hand. Problems: ~~ 1. This is a sequel to 2016, and they have the same name. Stupid. ~~ 2. 2016 is PG-13. 2021 is R. And 2016 out-grossed this one by 5 times!!! 2021 is on-track to lose about $15M. ~~ 3. Both were produced by DC. DC Comics doesn't come close to Marvel Comics. DC is the Mad magazine of comic book world: GROSS. // SS is about releasing from prison, a bunch of WEIRD superpower villains, to form a team to save the world. Yes. It's the Magnificent Seven, reborn, but revolting and nauseating . . if you don't like blood, hamburger, gore, people being eaten, exploding heads, etc., you ain't gonna like this movie. There's a scene where a guy's head is cut off, and 2 minutes later, a songbird is pecking at his severed neck, and eating bits of his flesh. It makes me sick to my stomach even writing this. And, hated the life sucking giant starfish as a nemesis. God help me . . I must be getting numb to all this, but I still kinda like the movie. // I loved the actors and their characters. Idris Elba is great. John Cena was comic relief, and very pumped. Margot Robbie steals the show. // The sound is awful. The voices are boomy, muffled, and garbled with thick accents. I couldn't understand what half of the people were saying. I missed half the dialogue and lost the flow. I kept thinking, it will get better, so I didn't turn on captioning, until it was too late. Told myself, I will watch it again. // The photography is actually kind of artistic and beautiful in half the scenes. In others, it is dark, hazy, colors gone crazy, and pretty bad. It's a mixed bag. The music is pretty good. I did like that! LOL // I can't speak about the plot and story, because I never did figure out what was going on. I had intentions of watching it again, but I don't think it's worth the effort. // The Bushwacker 12/20/2012.
The Devil and Daniel Webster (2003)
The Devil Should Have Been Played By Hillary
"Shortcut to Happiness" 2003 PG-13 1h 46m - Original title: The Devil and Daniel Webster. AKA The Devil. Filming location: Bethpage, Long Island, New York. It was first released in Kazakhstan in 2007!!; four years after it they say it came out! // This movie is quite good, in some ways. It is based on the book, "The Devil and Daniel Webster", by Stephen Vincent Benet. I guess taking one of the most famous books in history, written by one of the world's most famous authors, helps a bit in the area of good writing and good story. // I can't stand Alec Baldwin. He is smarmy and a lunatic. But, I have to acquiesce that he is a pretty good actor, and carries his role OK. I just kept getting the feeling something was wrong with him. LIke he was high, and couldn't focus. Jennifer Love Hewitt as The Devil was interesting; kind of good I guess, but they could have cast that better. Hillary Clinton comes to mind for that part. Hillary would be perfect, and scary as heck. Plus, Hewitt is gaunt and looks like she is sick, in this movie. Come to think of it, no one, in the movie, was really cast that well, with the exception of Anthony Hopkins. He was perfect for his role and played it well. Dan Aykroyd was not terrible, but he just seemed miscast, and not having any fun. Amy Poehler was a dud. Kim Cattrall was a dud. Darrell Hammond was a dud. // Still the movie is good, and I watched with my mouth agape. I think the story, the writing, and the directing, really carried it. Well done. Watched it a couple times over the years, and gave it 3 stars. After watching it today, I am upping that to 4 stars. // The Bushwacker 12/20/2021.
The Son of Monte Cristo (1940)

"The Son of Monte Cristo" 1940 1h 42m. Excellent movie with great acting. The actors are all greats, and extremely famous. Louis Hayward plays Dantes. Joan Bennett plays Zona. Florence Bates plays the ubiquitous lady in waiting, Countess Mathilde. And the evil villain, Gen. Gurko Lanen is played by the famous George Sanders. If you like to collect the better old movies, this is a must watch.

The Over-the-Hill Gang (1969)
Almost Every Old Geezer In Hollywood
"The Over-the-Hill Gang" 1969 TV Movie NR 1h 15m. A wonderful movie, and very well done, but, it seems a bit formulmatic. OK. More than a bit. It is outrageously formulmatic. It is a hoot to see some of the most famous geezers of all time in one movie. Almost everyone in the movie is a famous old geezer character actor. They shoulda gotten Burt Mustin, and Roberts Blossom to also play in it, and it would have be complete. // All of that aside, the cinematography is actually very good. The photography is excellent. The sound is great. The sets and costumes are wonderful. And the stunts are funny and well done at the same time. It's just a very entertaining and fun movie! // And guess what?

Gunfighter's Moon (1995)
Henriksen At His Best
"Gunfighter's Moon" 1995 PG-13 1h 35m. It's an awesome movie. I liked the story! It is fairly well written. // Lance Henriksen really is good as an actor, and has a great evil eye. I would say this is one of his better roles! // All in all, the movie is a good watch. It's very reminescent of the old westerns, but the cinematography is better. Except for the photography, which is spotty. In parts of the movie it is worse than they were in the '50s and '60s. In other parts, the photography is fine. The music is grand. I do not understand that it wasn't a big box office deal back in '95. There doesn't seem to be any box office info for it. All I can find is it was released in Sweden, May 1997 which is 2 years after the date given for the movie. I am guessing it went straight to video, or something, and later was released in Sweden. It was made in Canada. // Surprise surprise - Noflicks does not carry this one, like 30,000 others. But it is free on YouTube! // The Bushwacker 12/18/2021.
Billy the Kid (1989)
Another Viewpoint Of Billy The Kid
"Billy the Kid" 1989 TV Movie NR 1h 36m. It's a pretty good movie. It was put out by TNT. Gore Vidal does a pretty good job of directing it, and all. Val Kilmer is great. // The photography really leaves a lot to be desired. It really fuzzy and out of focus. // It's entertaining to watch. It's an interesting take on the story of Billy The Kid. The writing is pretty good, and they did a good job of filling in the parts of his childhood, and what led him on the path of self destruction. // Still, it's not a great movie either. There's no real story here. It's mostly about Billy and Pat Garrett, and the cat and mouse game they played. // And golly gee willickers. Noflicks doesn't carry it, either. What a shocker. LOL But you can watch it free on YouTube. // The Bushwacker 12/18/2021.
The Spikes Gang (1974)
Surprisingly Good 45 Year Old Movie
"The Spikes Gang" 1974 PG 1h 36m. I am surprised this movie is free on YouTube. It's a really good movie. // Director, Richard Fleischer's style reminds me of Ron Howard's style, which is funny because Ron Howard is in this movie. // The 3 boys are a noteworthy match. They seem very much alike. // The story is interesting and the acting is wonderful. The cinematogrophy is top notch, even by today's standards This is not some 50 year old, B-movie, POS. Not too surprising, but Noflix does not carry this one. // The Bushwacker 12/16/2021.
Behind Enemy Lines (2001)
Serious Role For Owen Wilson
"Behind Enemy Lines" 2001 PG-13 1h 46m. Notable movie by Owen Wilson as Lt. Burnett. This has got to be the best serious movie he was ever in. The movie and Owen will surprise you. // It has several exciting moments during the movie, but the climax is totally kick ash. And, the ending will make you stand up and cheer. // I just finished watching it, and I don't think they cursed once in it! Although, I will admit, I've grown a little numb to all that stuff. There are some violent moments where people die, but it's not a hamburger movie. // The cinematography is great. The photography, the music, the sound levels . . . . everything is just exemplary. // The Bushwacker 12/16/2021.
For Richer or Poorer (1997)
A Belgian Named Big John
"For Richer or Poorer" 1997 PG-13 1h 55m. This is one of the best movies of all time. It is a comedy, but it is so much more too. There is some real heartfelt substance to it. It's just all warm and fuzzy. // Tim Allen is great in it. Kirstie Alley is amazing and will blow you away. It's one of the best things she has ever done! // The plot is reminiscent of "Witness", but is different and fresh. The story and writing is amazing. In fact the story is what really drives this movie. You will fall in love with the Yoder family, and a horse named Big John. And, it will make you laugh. // All aspects of the cinematography are excellent. // I will buy this someday, but I can only afford just so many DVDs per month. LOL // The Bushwacker 12/16/2021.
