Sexy bad girls

Advantages: light and funny movie
Disadvantages: don't expect to much from it

...good for a grin. Bad girls is about 4 prostitutes (Drew Barrymore, Madeline Stowe, Andie MacDowell, Mary Stuart Masterson) who are fed up with all the men wanting them for one thing!!! They decide they deserve better and team up to travel the Old West. One of the ladies has deeds to to some land and wants to use this to set up their own ranch. But, they accidentally get involved in a robbery, and have to go on the run. I think this is a great simple, ...
...overall girl bonding feel to it. Plus, the girls look great!!!! It is a story of the depth of friendship, strength, starting over, finding love and fighting back. Who said women can't kick some butt (ok maybe in certain scenes, they show that they can't), but still a real feel good movie. Its directed by Jonathan Kaplan, and the length of the movie is 99mins. Not a long film, at all. This movie would be good viewing for everyone. ...

Review of Bad Girls (DVD)

Newman & Redford in a Classic Story!

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

I first got introduced to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid via my mum, who loved this film and every time it came on the TV we would sit and watch it together. Mostly as a youngster I got bored half way through and went off to play but as I got older I watched it all the way through and soon grew to love the film. I brought it on DVD when I was an adult and have watched it numerous times over the years. The Story~~ Made in 1969 this film is ...
...bring them to justice. Butch and Sundance spend days on the run trying to escape the constant threat of the trailing posse, only to find them right behind every step of the way. Eventually, more through a panicky exit from a mountaintop into a raging river the duo escape and decide to quietly exit from this crazy life to Bolivia with Sundance's girlfriend, Etta Place. Still robbing banks for a living, how long will it be before they are caught ...

Review of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid (Special Edition) (DVD)

The Ladies take charge

Advantages: Curtis, Ron Silver and the great shootouts.
Disadvantages: Lack of any extras and some of the dialogue.

Kathryn Bigelow followed her Western Vampire Near Dark (1987) with this film noir/slasher. Both films share the same cool style but the action is now relocated to the urban environment rather than the desert. This film follows disgraced rookie cop Megan Turner (Jamie Lee Curtis) is implicated in a series of murders around New York. Meanwhile her lover, Eugene (Ron Silver) begins to act strangely. Curtis gives a good performance as Megan a brave ...
...of implications which we are left to imagine especially in the scenes where she asked why she became a cop. Ron Silver turns in a very creepy performance as a commodities broker who is increasingly unhinged. The character aside from being good at romancing Megan shares characteristics with many slasher movie monsters. Clancy Brown this role is quite a departure for Brown who is better known for playing the main villain Highlander and the drill sergeant ...

Review of Blue Steel (DVD)

You'll never meet a pair like Butch and the Kid

Advantages: Great cinematography, Challenges the normal expectations of typical western
Disadvantages: None

...lots of attractive scenery. However, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid still remains one of the most heart-felt and successful films of all time. In 1970, the film won 4 Oscars for "Best Cinematography", "Best Music, Original Score for a Motion Picture", "Best Music, Original Song" and "Best Writing, Story and Screenplay Based on Material Not Previously Published or Produced". It later won 17 and was nominated for another 11 awards. Butch Cassidy ...
...to raise a posse. Furthermore, Butch and Sundance, the villains in the film, are presented as heroes and the audience immediately begins to like them. They become our heroes as the film goes on. The film starts as Butch Cassidy (Newman) and the Sundance Kid (Redford), the leaders of the famous Hole in the Wall Gang, meet each other after a long time and decide to rob the Union Pacific Flyer (a train transporting money) instead of banks like they ...
