Fair-Minded Commentary On Motion Pictures From The Past And Now

By Marianne Hart

Technology improves over time. The locally owned video stores from the beginning were taken over by the large ones and while this was possibly disappointing for them, it did allow the prices to come down for the masses.

Within just a couple of years, the subscription services came along. That helped one and all out because it for the most part eliminated late fees. It is very unusual for a video store or a subscription service to charge a late fee anymore, but, if the movie is not returned within a precise interlude of time, they keep the right to charge you the full price of the movie.

Pick from the list below and download a excellent film to view tonight.

Michael - A set of dubious reporters and a fake "angel" find that a foolish old woman's statement that the archangel Michael is living with her is real. Michael, however, turns out not to be your average angel. Amiable, wry motion picture by no means goes where you foresee and takes its time getting there, however the journey is interesting, and Travolta, as the sleazy, randy Michael, is impeccably cast. Cast includes John Travolta, Andie MacDowell, William Hurt, Robert Pastorelli, Bob Hoskins, Jean Stapleton, Teri Garr, Wally Ward, Joey Lauren Adams, Carla Gugino, Tom Hodges, and Wallace Langham.

Lantana - Heartbreaking, adult premise of relationships obstructed by monotony, routine, and absence of articulation. LaPaglia plays a cop, whose marriage has stagnated, leading him to have an affair. In the mean time, he investigates the disappearance of a lady whose own marriage is in danger. The film is beautifully nuanced at every turn. Cast includes Anthony LaLaglia, Geoffrey Hurry, Barbara Hershey, Kerry Armstrong, Rachael Blake, Vince Colosimo, Daniela Farinacci, and Peter Phelps.

The Sea Hawk - Top of the line amalgamation with Flynn at his streaking best in venture on the high oceans. The motion picture has a dynamic balance of piracy, romance, and swordplay, handsomely shot, and orchestrated with exciting Erich Wolfgang Komgold score. Cast includes Errol Flynn, Brenda Marshall, Claude Pours, Donald Crisp, Flora Robson, Alan Hale, Henry Daniell, Una O'Connor, Gilbert Roland, and Edgar Buchanan.

Down Argentine Way - Entertaining 20th Century Fox musical with Grable in the motion picture that raised her to stardom falling in love with slick Argentinean horse breeder Ameche. Miranda is magnificent in her first American film, acting infectious Brazilian melodies with her own band and look out for the Nicholas Brothers, who do a dynamite forte number. Picture postcard color all the way through. Cast includes Don Ameche, Betty Grable, Carmen Miranda, Charlotte Wood, Carrol Naish, Henry Stephenson, and Leonid Kinskey.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider, The Cradle of Life - Pouting and pillaging in a assortment of exposing outfits, Jolie returns as the video-game adventuress who teams up with her gloomy ex in a race to find Pandora's Box before it falls into the hands of a wicked scientist who wants to harness its current to build up biological weapons. Astonishingly clumsy and interminable continuation gives new importance to the word "uninteresting." Cast includes Angelina Jolie, Gerard Butler, Noah Taylor, Christopher Barrie, and Simon Ya.

Lost Horizon - First half hour copies'37 film scene for scene, and everything's going well. Then we get to Shangri-La and everything goes bad.
