10 Impressive Films To Consider And Enjoy On Your Times Off

By Rhoda Mccoy

Each Hollywood producer has one target in mind when they make a movie. They want to put out a film that is a huge sensation that the public loves. A wonderful plot, some tremendous actors along with a couple of special effects and there you have the recipe for a enormous box-office success. Or do you? Sometimes a film will have all of the alleged required factors and it will still disappoint at the box office. There are no conclusive recipes to make a Hollywood epic. Select from the critiques below and download a fantastic film to watch tonight.

In Enemy Country - Unremarkable WW2 story, set in France and England, filmed on a back-lot. Not particularly persuading. Cast includes Tony Franciosa, Anjanette Comer

Believe in me - Still another 1970s film that is all about drug problems. 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)

Ronin - Several experts are brought together to repossess a available suitcase. It seems the Russians want the suitcase, and ex KGB spies have it. Whatever is inside that case, it seems to carry a high price tag.

Law of Desire - Surreal, riotous, and amusing comedy concentrating on a gay love triangle, with equal treatments of desire, sex, fantasy, and disaster. Cast includes Eusebio Poncela, Carmen Maura, Antonio Banderas, Miguel Molina, Bibi Andersson, Manuela Velasco, and Nacho Martinez.

Dracula Dead and Loving It - Dracula gets the Mel Brooks treatment in this burlesque movie which invests so much time retelling the familiar Transylvanian's tale it forgets to be comical. There are some good minutes for Brooks' fans, but just not enough. Cast includes Leslie Nielsen, Peter MacNicol, Steven Weber, Amy Beck, Charlie Callas, and Anne Bancroft.

Xander 'XXX' Cage has been brought in by NSA agent Gibbons to help him with an critical matter. He must help the MSA bring down a Russian crime ring, or face jail time. Agent Gibbons needs an mysterious person with extraordinary skill and talent to get inside the organization. Is XXX the right man for the job?

Inglorious Bastards - 5 cadets getting ready to be court-martialed in WW2 take off and try to make their way through France, wishing to get to the Swiss border. Cast includes Ian Bannen, Bo Svenson, Fred Williamson, Peter Hooten, and Michael Pergolani.

Heartland Reggae - Sloppy documentary of '78 show remembering a visit to Jamaica by Haile Selassie. The music makes it worth watching. Cast includes Bob Marley and the Wailers, Peter Tosh, and Althea and Donna.

Metropolitan - Typical comedy, packed with sarcasm, is set throughout Christmas season, with hermit Clements drawn into small gang of friends, and out of his shell. Cast includes Carolyn Farina, Edward Clements, Christopher Eigeman, Taylor Nichols, Allison Rutledge-Parisi, Dylan Hundley, Isabel Gillies, Bryan Leder, Can Kempe, and Elizabeth Thompson.

Strange Interlude - A Eugene O'Neill drama that shows the twisted web of the difference between our thoughts and our words. Norma Shearer plays a woman who lost the love of her life when he was shot down in WWI. The movie tells of romances and marriages between Nina and three men, only one of whom she loves. It is about growing old without settling their complications. This is a fascinating movie, with Shearer at her shining best. The company includes Norma Shearer, Clark Gable, Might Robson, Maureen O'Sullivan, Robert Youthful, Ralph Morgan, Henry B. Walthall, and Alexander Kirkland.
