More Relevant Now Than Ever Before
This was a great movie and enjoyable from start to finish. There are some great parallels in this movie compared to today's political climate. The paranoia, the alert system and the increases in security. We can actually learn some lessons from this film. How many false terror alerts have we had this year alone? Having said that I should point out that I'd rather have tighter security and a little paranoia instead of the alternative. I just think sometimes we need to sit back and take a look at things from the outside in and acknowledge that sometimes we get just a little to carried away. This movie was ahead of it's time.
La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano (1998)
Exactly what it says A GOOD STORY!
Caught this movie simply channel surfing and it was brilliant. I especially like the intellectual conversation thrown in near the end about "NO END." This is the type of film that that I'd grab to watch with the girlfriend or wife. It'll appeal to both of you and you'll both enjoy it. "Nothing like a good story!"
Hard Traveling (1986)
The times were hard... decent men were driven to desperate acts.
During the darkes days of the Great Depression, even the sanest, most rational men were driven to desperate acts.....sometimes, even murder. Hard Traveling is the story of one such man and his impassioned struggle against his past, his conscience, and against the justice system that threatens his life and freedom.
Based on Alvah Bessie's critically acclaimed novel, "Bread and a Stone", this is the story of Ed Sloan - unemployed farmworker, loving husband and father.....and accused muderer. A man, like any other, trying to rise above the fallen hopes and broken dreams of his era.
Caught, Accused. Subjected to a hostile courtroom. Ed Sloan fights to maintain dignity in the face of mounting opposition. And fights to save the cherished respect and affection of his wife, Norah.
Incisive and powerful, sensitive and moving, Hard Traveling is a story of love, hardship, desperation, and hope.
Paula Abdul: Straight Up (1989)
Rear Cover Synopsis
The five music videos on this compilation represent an extraordinary achievement. Each has won praise from critics, and each has contributed to the look and style of the genre.
'Knocked Out; Paula's first video, her first starring role on film has been re-edited specifically for inclusion in this collection.
For the four clips that follow - '(It's Just) The Way That You Love Me', 'Straight Up', 'Forever Your Girl' and 'Cold Hearted' - Paula collaborated with award-winning director David Fincher.
Together, they created a succession of immensely popular and provocative works. Both won recognition in September of 1989 when Paula and 'Straight Up' gathered four prestigious MTV video music awards - for Best Female Artist, Dance Video, Editing and Choreography.
Viewed together these five videos represent a body of work unmatched by any other artist. Drawn from just one album, they establish Paula Abdul as popular music's foremost video star.
Mirage (1965)
Not bad at all.
Almost a Hitchcock style too it; I started to watch this film from the beginning and I was unable to leave the couch until it's conclusion. It certainly stands the test of time and is full of suspense. Keeps you guessing and your nightmare is his nightmare throughout the film; You want to find the answers as much as the character does.
