Pointed Story Lines Of A Few Films

By Elinor Sanders

Check out some movie reviews below. You can use a search engine to find movie download sites. You can find good results with by searching "Full Length Movie Downloads", "Download Unlimited Music" and "Best Movie Rental".

After Hours: A normal man goes through a succession of weird experiences throughout one remarkable day in N.Y.C. How much you like this joke bad dream can rely on how precisely you relate to Dunne, the only common individual in the film! Cast includes Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Verna Bloom, Thomas Chong, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, John Heard, Cheech Marin, Catherine O'Hara, Dick Miller, and Bronson Pinchot. (97 minutes, 1985)

The Bellboy: Entertaining succession of blackouts with Jerry as a bellboy at Fontainebleau in Miami Shore. The film has no structure although a lot of outrageous gags. Milton Berle and Walter Winchell have short appearances. This was Jerry Lewis's directorial debut. Cast includes Jerry Lewis, Alex Gerry, Bob Clayton, and Sonny Sands. (120 minutes, 1960)

Thief of Baghdad: Reeves looks for the elusive blue rose so he can wed the Sultan's daughter. This is nothing like the Sabu rendition, although this is a good piece of work. Cast includes Steve Reeves, Giorgia Moll, Arturo Dominici, and Edy Vessel. (90 minutes, 1961)

De-Lovely: Handsome however strange biopic of the incredible songwriter Cole Porter, whose love for his spouse didn't preclude him from chasing homosexual affairs. Kline is much more interesting than the film as the scene in which he instructs Barrowman how to harmonize "Night and Day" shows. Cast includes Kevin Kline, Ashley Judd, Jonathan Pryce, Kevin McNally, Allan Corduner, Sandra Nelson, Keith Allen, James Wilby, John Barrowman, Kevin McKidd, Peter Polycarpou, and Richard Dillane. (125 minutes, 2004)

Bulletproof Heart: Fortunate hit guy LaPaglia gets a job he's not really cut out for. He is hired to take out an attractive woman who is in debt with the mob. 4 well-conditioned, well-played characters including Boyle's gloomy mobster and Craven's dimwit companion-don't count quite make this a hit. Cast includes Anthony LaPaglia, Mimi Rogers, Peter Boyle, Matt Craven, and Joseph Maher. (100 minutes, 1994)

The Big Shakedown: Inconsequential story where we see Davis deny spouse Farrell while he joins mobster Cortez in counterfeiting cosmetics and other products, often with dire consequences to the buyers. Cast includes Bette Davis, Ricardo Cortez, Glenda Farrell, Charles Farrell, and Adrian Morris. (64 minutes, 1934)

The Sea Wolf: Sharp Jack London story of fierce although intellectual ocean commander Robinson fighting a battle of wits as unintentional passenger Knox, a brash sailor Garfield, and an escapee Lupino try to flee. Cast includes Edward G. Robinson, John Garfield, Ida Lupino, Alexander Knox, Gene Lockhart, Barry Fitzgerald, and Stanley Ridges. (90 minutes, 1941)

The King and I: Phenomenal film adaptation of the Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical, based on the novel filmed in 1946 as Anna and the Baron of Siam (and redid as Anna and the Emperor). Kerr plays the widowed English school teacher who voyages to Siam to instruct the Baron's numerous kids, and finds handling His Highness her best test. Brynner gives the acting job of a generation, and was rewarded with an Oscar reconstructing his Broadway role. Kerr is charming and her harmonizing voice was dubbed by Marni Nixon. Melodies contain "Hello, Young Lovers," "Getting to Know You," and "Shall We Dance." Cast includes Deborah Kerr, Yul Brynner, Rita Moreno, Martin Benson, Terry Saunders, Rex Thompson, and Alan Mowbray. (133 minutes, 1956)

Thieves: A hard postwar drama about a returning vet looking for revenge from his trucker dad's punishment at the hands of a crooked fruit trader in San Francisco. Cast includes Richard Conte, Valentina Cortese, Lee J. Cobb, Barbara Lawrence, Jack Oakie, Millard Mitchell, and Joseph Pevney. (94 minutes, 1996)

Almost any film you can think of can be downloaded from a site online. As we said before, search with "DVD Rental Services", or "Unlimited DVD Rentals" to find good information on downloading. A final search with "Online Movies To Watch" might get you what you need if the other ones fail.
