The Bowery Boys movies are a hit or miss kind of thing. A lot of them aren't really that good but the movies are usually pretty short so they're always worth a try. I've seen quite a few Bowery Boys movies now and I've learned that my enjoyment level lands on how annoying Sach is. I didn't watch these movies when I was a kid. A lot of my friends did and they always talked about how funny Sach was. Watching Sach now, he's usually just stupid. His antics are more annoying than anything else. The movies where Sach is funny are much better than the ones where's he's annoying. Sach is pretty funny in "Clipped Wings". That helped make it one of the better Bowery Boys movies.

I'm a big fan of Burt Reynolds. I watch his movies all of the time. For some reason, I never got around to watching "Shamus" until tonight. I always thought it was a straight detective movie but it's not. There are a lot of laughs in "Shamus". Burt Reynolds delivers a good performance. Burt also does a lot of impressive stunts. "Shamus" is definitely Burt's most physical movie. He's constantly runs around around or jumping through something. It's fun to watch. "Shamus" also has a pretty good supporting cast with the always likeable Dyan Cannon coming in as Best in Breed. Cannon has charm to spare. "Shamus" isn't one of Burt's best but it does go on the plus side of the ledger.
