B.T.K. Killer (2005)
BTK ... Boring Terrible Krap
The case is the best part of the movie but it alone is not worth the purchase price. I expected a "Based on the true story" movie only to find a shot on home video hodge-podge of poorly shot clips tied together with pathetic acting and non-related slaughter house scenes. The video scenes had numerous rewind situations which were used probably to extend the length of the feature rather than for effects. I started this review before I was even halfway through the movie and waited till it was over just in case it had a better ending but, low and behold it only got worse. If I could mark it any lower it would have been a negative ten. Learn from my mistake and save your money and time with this one.
The Long Gray Line (1955)
My new favorite movie.
I caught the end of this movie on one of those late night movie channels. Immediately the search began for this movie ... I had to own it. This movie tops my all-time favorites list just edging out "Its a Wonderful Life" and that is only because it is based on the real life story of Martin Maher. This movie should be shown in every high school/college ethics class in America. The humbling integrity of the West Point Cadets to the dedication and devotion that Marty shared with each and everyone of them over his 50 years of service in the US Army truly depicts humankind at it's best. It will make you laugh, smile, and cry all at the same time while making you feel good about the world. I know that you will come away from this movie with a new outlook on life. It's a shame that this 50 year old movie is hidden on late night movie channels ... it should be played during the holidays right along with "Its a Wonderful Life". Enjoy it with friends and family.
