Anytime a Hollywood film is produced the aspiration is to make a film that the public loves and that will become a epic hit. Take a wonderful story line, throw in a few distinguished stars along with some special effects and voila', a huge box office success. But it does not always happen that way. Sometimes a film will include everything that you think might make it a success and it still fails at the box office. There is no such thing as a sure thing in Hollywood.
Rude Boy - Enraged young insurgent Gange is employed by the rock group The Conflict as a roadie. The film is an aggressive, practical, documentary-like personality exploration with rare footage. Rock fans will not be disenchanted, others take heed. Cast includes David Mingay, The Conflict, Ray Gange, John Green, Barry Baker, Terry McQuade, and Caroline Coon. (133 minutes, 1980)
Believe in me - Still one more 1970s film that is all about drug troubles. Working gal Bisset finds herself completely dependant on speed while living in the East Village section of New York City. Cast includes Michael Sarrazin, Jacqueline Bisset, Jon Cypher, Allen Garfield, and Kurt Dodenhoff. (90 minutes, 1971)
Cry the Beloved Country - Moving redo of the 1951 film based on Alan Paton's rejoiced story, in reference to a backwoods pastor (Jones) who, in 1946, makes his first ever trip to the city of Johannesburg in search of his errant child. At the same time well-to-do landowner Harris voyages there to claim the body of his child, who has just been murdered. We see extraordinary work by Jones, Harris, and a largely foreign cast. Not as understated as the first making, however powerful in its own way. Cast includes Richard Harris, James Earl Jones, Charles S. Dutton, and Vusi Kunene. (120 minutes, 1995)
Slaughter's Big Ripoff - A killer is still playing games with the Mob in this dull action film. McMahon gives more effort to his role as the mob boss than it merits. Cast includes Jim Brown, Ed McMahon, Brock Peters, Don Stroud, Gloria Hendry, Dick Anthony Williams, and Art Metrano. (93 minutes, 1973)
Bug - film version of Tracy Letts' play is tough to take seriously however not without a twist or two if you could recognize it as a stunt. This is simply bug versus man. Cast includes Ashley Judd, Michael Shannon, Harry Connick, Jr., Lynn Collins, and Brian F. O'Byrne. (101 minutes, 2007)
They Were Expendable - One of the best and most underrated of all WW2 films, based on the authentic tale of America's PT boat battalion in the Philippines throughout the early nights of the battle. Poignant, exquisitely detailed production photographed by Joseph August under Ford's unique hand, with real-life Naval Officer Montgomery. Cast includes Robert Montgomery, John Wayne, Donna Reed, Jack Holt, Ward Bond, Leon Ames, Jack Pennick, and Tom Tyler. (135 minutes, 1945)
The Seniors - 4 collegians open a bogus sex hospital, which mushrooms into a multi million dollar business. The movie is alternately stupid and sarcastic, with some harmless nudity thrown in. Cast includes Jeffrey Byron, Gary Imhof, Dennis Quaid, Lou Richards, PrisciIla Barnes, Alan Reed, Edward Andrews, Robert Emhardl, and Alan Hewitt. (87 minutes, 1978)
Fantasies - Crude nonsense in regards to Derek's and Hooten's attempts to turn a Greek island into a tourist trap. Shot in 1973, while Bo was sixteen. Cast includes Bo Derek, Peter Hooten, Anna Alexiadis, Phaedon Gheorghitis, and Therese Bohlin. (81 minutes, 1981)
