My Favourite Brunette DVD

Advantages: Very funny 'they don't make em like that anymore' movie
Disadvantages: None

...for a few days, enlisting Ronnie to take any phone messages that may come in during his absence. While hanging out in Sam's office, the beautiful and mysterious Baroness Montay arrives and, mistaking Ronnie for a real detective, begs for his help in finding her kidnapped uncle. Ronnie eagerly agrees to take the case, and proceeds to ineptly bumble his way through everything he does while trying to come across as Macho Man. There are loads of really funny laugh-out-loud bits, especially in the way Ronnie deals with a host of nasty villains who are way out of his league. Among the dodgy characters involved in the kidnapping are two of my all-time fave classic actors, Peter Lorre as deliciously evil knife-throwing baddie Kismet (who gets cheerfully nicknamed 'Cuddles' by Ronnie, which only makes Kismet MAD), and Lon Chaney Jr reprising his IQ...

Advantages: Excellent Concept - Big explostions + tongue in cheek?
Disadvantages: it’s eerie accuracy of life in the future

.... Anyway… so he goes to a company that specialises in implanting memories. You can choose anything you like e.g. when you wake up you think you’ve just been on a fishing trip to Las Vegas with the Marx brothers. Lacking imagination Mr Quaid (I shall refer to Mr Schwarzenegger by is character because I don’t want to wear out my keyboard typing his name over and over) chooses a pre-packaged deal… we all know package holiday are never what they advertise but it seems even in the not so distant future people still haven’t learnt. Mr Quaid as chosen to be a Spy, on Mars, and his leading lady a brunette, cigar smoking hard-core wench with a Magnum that would put Clint Eastwood to shame(I only wish this was a direct quote from the film but alas not). But things start to go wrong. He wakes up after the implant to find himself in the back of a cab... Read review

Advantages: Chris O'Donnell
Disadvantages: But not his best acting.

...! Brook Shields as a money grabbing chain smoker who agrees to marry Jimmie but bails when she finds out she must have children with him. Although this scene is far too long. It seems dredging through ex-girlfriends is not the answer thus Jimmies best friend (Artie Lange) places an add in a local newspaper… however this ends up front page and soon follows a herd of willing brides complete with dresses chase Jimmie around the streets of San Francisco. Finally arriving at the church, these girls begin to question what Jimmie is looking for… blonde/brunette, curvy/slim, educated, old/young… ~~~~~~~~ THE DVD ~~~~~~~~ Again as with most of my film collection the price makes up for the extras on the DVD. The Bachelor also has a theatrical trailor and a section covering the cast and crew but that's all. Amazon has used DVDs for £2.99 but I got mine... Read review
