Larry-Miller Movie Reviews

I can't explain why the reviews for Star Trek keep coming up, but this a movie based on an S.E. Hinton novel. A very good novel that I'm afraid wasn't adapted well to the big screen. The parts of the book that were followed were good, but there was entirely way too much foul language that was NOT in the novel, plus I was disappointed that the music and setting were strictly 80's. The book took place in late 60's early 70's. If you've never read the novel, you'll be mislead. If you've read the novel???? Well, Emilio Estevez is in it. That helps.

If you are familiar with poverty, isolation and loneliness you'll relate to this film, which deals with such issues as dealing with family, peer pressure and growing past one's friends and surroundings. Watch for Morgan Freeman in a few scenes, his role as bar owner Charlie Woods revealing a certain depth and intensity.

Unfortunately Emilio Estevez's irritating presence makes every scene he is in well nigh unwatchable. And the script seems uneven, stalling every time he and his co-star had time alone on the screen. I grew tired of watching these two hang out, waiting for something to happen. Frankly the book was better...

Since when does Star Trek Reviews end up on a review page for "That Was Then... This Is Now" staring Emeilio Estevez, Craig Schaifer, and Kim Delany? I Think Amazon.com has finally gotten to big to manage their own content!!!

However, this movie is one of the best movies that Emelio Estevez has acted in. We all know that [Estevez] had better rolls and was a more passionate actor during the earlier part of his career, that [this movie] demonstrates his acting ability.

The story is simple: two boys grow up together and feel like they are brothers. One of the boys [Estevez] gets caught up in the wrong crowd and ends up in jail. The other boy played by Schaifer tries to help [Estevez] stay on the straight and narrow.

Good story by the auther of the "The Outsiders", S.E. Hinton.

EDWARD JAMES OLMOS AND GEORGE DZUNDZA TURN IN EXCELLENT PERFORMANCES IN THIS THINLY VEILED RECREATION OF THE ZODIAC MURDERS OF SAN FRANCISCO. OLMOS' ROLE STARTS OUT PURPOSEFUL BUT ENDS UP PATHETIC WHILE DZUNDZA BEGINS AS WEIRD AND TURNS PREDATORY. IT WAS GREAT TO WATCH THEIR CHARACTERS CHANGE AS THEY PLAYED OFF OF ONE ANOTHER. WHILE IT WAS INTERESTING THAT THE SCOREKEEPER'S VICTIMS AND M.O. CLEARLY PARALLELED THOSE OF THE ZODIAC, I FEAR THAT THIS FILM WOULD ONLY BE A 2 STAR AFFAIR (AT BEST) FOR THE NON-ZODIAC BUFF. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

A San Francisco detective is obsessed with catching a serial killer who has been killing people for over 20 years. When the detective learns that he has only a few weeks of life left, he tries his one last shot - taking the suspect for a ride down memory lane, hoping to force him into a confession...

What makes the movie interesting to true crime buffs like myself ;) is the fact that it's very obviously based on the never-solved case of the serial killer "Zodiac" from San Francisco area in the 1970s. The movie is a faithful recreation of the "canonical" crimes of the Zodiac, with Edward James Olmos starring as an SFPD detective clearly modelled after Inspector Dave Toschi (who hunted the real Zodiac).

....

Unfortunately, the film concentrates on a certain theory proposed by one recognised writer...This almost spoiled the movie for me, as I find many aspects of this theory annoying in the extreme. Still (and in spite of its ending, as realistic as the idea of Jack the Ripper being the Duke of Clarence), so far it's the best movie on the Zodiac out there (the 1970s movie is reportedly too silly to watch), and it has a nice musical score, too.

An unassuming, charismatic personality and a bottle of poison prove to be a lethal combination in "The Minus Man," directed by Hampton Fancher and starring Owen Wilson. When a personable young man drifts in from the Pacific Northwest and settles in a small coastal town, a number of people's lives are soon changed forever, and not for the better. Vann Siegert (Wilson) is a likable fellow with a winning smile and always a credible story regarding who he is, where he's been and where he's going; he's also a psychotic killer who chooses his victims seemingly at random, yet is so ingratiating that he never falls under suspicion. And such is the case when he rents a room from an unsuspecting couple, Jane and Doug Durwin (Mercedes Ruehl and Brian Cox). Without realizing, of course, that he's enabling a murderer, Doug helps Vann find gainful employment, allowing him to establish himself within the community, and the rest-- as they say-- is history. In one of the more telling scenes in the film, Vann reflects to himself, "If it weren't for me, these people would all be doing something else today..." What they are doing, in fact, is searching for one of their own who has gone missing, courtesy of Vann. What is so distressing about this movie is the lack of menace outwardly presented by someone so intrinsically evil; like Norman Bates in "Psycho," Vann is simply too unprepossessing and benign to be considered a threat to anyone. The contrast between his countenance and his crimes is chilling; and the fact that he perpetrates his deeds in such a matter-of-fact, unemotional manner gives new meaning to the phrase "cold blooded killer." One of the interesting aspects of the film is that Vann acts as narrator as well, which effectively puts the audience inside the mind behind the madness, even more so than in "Silence of the Lambs," because in this case, the viewer is privy to the actual thought process that precipitates the crimes. And it becomes a bit unnerving after some reflection upon what is actually transpiring under the guise of "normalcy." Owen Wilson is well cast and gives a stunningly credible performance as Vann; he conveys such a low-keyed, eye-in-the-center-of-the-storm manner that he is instantly recognizable as the boy next door you'd be more than happy for your daughter to date. And after watching him in action it becomes truly disconcerting to consider that in the real world there are those who look and act like Vann and are capable of such heinous acts of violence and deceit. As the couple who takes Vann in-- and are subsequently taken in by him-- Ruehl and Cox capture the essence of the "everyman/woman" that can be found in any neighborhood in any town, and the fact that they are people with whom it is so easy to identify makes it even more upsetting when you realize that the vulnerability to which we are all prone can be exploited with such facility. In a supporting role, Janeane Garofalo is a welcome presence as Ferrin, a co-worker of Vann's who is drawn in by his winsome facade; and rounding out the supporting cast are Sheryl Crowe (Caspar/Laurie), Dwight Yoakam (Blair), Dennis Haysbert (Graves) and Alex Warren (State Trooper). Ultimately, "The Minus Man" is a cautionary tale that may spark a touch of paranoia in the viewer, and with good reason; and after spending some time with Vann, it just may alter your perception of some of your more casual acquaintances and even some old friends, especially those who seem so "ordinary." It's a film that kind of sneaks up on you and takes you by surprise; and it may leave you pondering the darker side of human nature.

I must say that I had no idea what this movie would be like but found myself pleasantly surprised by both the story and the central perfomances.

A young drifter by the name of Vann Siegert wanders into a small coastal town and slowly people in the town begin to disappear - it's no plot spoiler to say that Vann is the man causing these disappearances - we do see the movie through his eyes. He possesses a disarming charm and kindness that people feel they can trust him, most notably his landlord Doug followed by his wife Jane and his co-worker at the Post Office, Ferrin. Slowly things begin to change and tension builds as Vann ensures that his cover is not blown.

While this probably doesn't sound too different from your average serial killer yarn, it is made more believable by spot on performances. Owen Wilson is a revelation as the drifter Vann, with the charm of a Tom Ripley, his drawling voice and easy smile, not once suggesting a killer behind it. Brian Cox and Mercedes Ruehl are both excellent as Vann's landlords, with Ruehl just topping Cox with a lovely understated performance not overshadowed by Cox's occasional histrionics. Finally, rounding out the main cast is Janene Garofolo, as Ferrin, and she nails her role as the co-worker who hopes for romance perfectly.

The distraction of Vann's hallucinations don't work that well but this is a minor discrepancy in an otherwise excellent film. With his work on this movie and scene-stealing turns in such movies as the otherwise awful "The Haunting", and "Meet the Parents", Wilson certainly shows he is capable of much more.

a great turn in Wilson's career. he's always playing that goofball in some of his movies but this one is nicely done with pure intelligence and Francher directs with style. Wilson is a nice guy, though he is deadly too. inthe beginning he kills Sheryl Crow then moves into Mercedes Rheul and Brian Cox's house, works at a job and falls in aweird love with Garafolo who is excellent. then he's seeing imaginary cops played crazily by Dwight Yoakam and Dennis Haysbert. Wilson shows us another side of his acting career and proabably one of his best, his character can be sweet, likable and friendly and then can be mad, evily and sadisitic. not one to be missed for Wilson fans

I couldn't believe my eyes and ears, at the beginning, at the altar, when Eddie Murphy's head comes out of his zipper, I couldn't believe how awful it was. AND it sets the tone for the whole movie. Bad taste galore, the worst kind, and it's not the least bit funny. The family monologues aren't the worst (never heard anything unfunnier), and then of course the fart-jokes,
Really, movie-making has never sunk any lower.
I'd say this is the most vulgar thing ever seen on tv, and that's counting the Osbournes!

This movie proves, once again, that the sequal never lives up to the original. The Klumps, trying to ride on the tails of its predecessor, attempts to give the one-dimensional Klump family a second dimension to their characters. FAILED! While the movie is very funny (why it got a second star in my opinion), it tried to take on a more serious family aspect which left the film dragging slowly to the next punch-line delivered by Eddie Murphy in any of his hilarious disguises. If you want a funny movie, I suggest going with the first Nutty Professor where the one-sided Klumps are more suited for their roles, though less present in the overall story line. If you're an avid fan of Grandma Klump and her "Cletus-cutdowns," then this is your movie... though I could have done without seeing her making moves on Buddy Love. Enjoy your movie experience! :)

In my review of the movie The Nutty Professor II which was released in 2000 I attempt the rate the movie based on its potential appeal to viewers. The Movie director is Peter Segal and it is from Universal Studios. The main actor in the Nutty Professor II is Eddie Murphy who plays many characters in the movie (Sherman Klump, Buddy Love, the grandmother, etc) and the primary actress is Janet Jackson who plays Denise Gaines.

The movie setting starts out with Sherman dreaming that he is getting married to his assistant professor (Denise Gaines). Then he starts having sexual reactions when he looks at Denise breast sticking out in her wedding dress. Buddy Love reappears coming out of his rear end. Buddy Love keeps Sherman upset because he controls his personality and intelligence and has him saying rude things to everyone. Sherman is trying to get Buddy Love out his system.

Denise Gaines tells Sherman she cares for him once she finds out that she is being offered a job in Maine. And then Sherman goes to confess his love to Denise but Buddy Love takes over and he starts doing sexual actions toward her, which Denise gets very upset.

This movie is very funny and it will keep your attention. I like the more serious movies that Eddie Murphy has played in. It is just amazing how Eddie played 5 different characters in this movie. And for Janet Jackson she is a very good actress, more than she gets credit for.

If you like funny movies you will like this one. But I would not purchase for my movie collection.

(This review is based on the original theatrical version.)

There is a superficial similarity between this terrible film (to think baby celluloids died for this) and Peter Bogdanovich's vastly superior 1967 debut film, "Targets" (qv) -- in each, there is a sniper in Los Angeles shooting (supposedly) random people. In "Targets" he winds up shooting through a drive-in movie screen, in this he's in the scoreboard at a football game.

Once cannot help but feel that this film was partially inspired by "Targets", but (as with all the slasher films that the original "Halloween" inspired) they missed the point.

In "Targets", the film's focus is tightly on two characters -- the disaffected kid who does the shooting, and an aging horror star who plans to retire because he knows there are much scarier things than himself in the Modern World (played to a turn by Boris Karloff, in his last watchable film). Most of the victims are totally anonymous figures the sniper sees over his gunsights in various places. The effect of this is to make people with any imagination (who know that there really are people like Charles Whitman, whose Texas Tower shooting spree inspired the film) to regard high places that might serve as sniper's nests with suspicion; the sheer "It could be anyone -- even me!" of it is chilling. Plus there is a terrific buildup of suspense and foreshadowing before anything Actually Happens that raises the tension factor several notches.

In "Two-Minute Warning", on the other hand, we know nothing about the sniper. And, while a crowd of 91,000 potential victims ought to yield randomness, the fact that a dozen or so "celebrities" are scattered through the cast sort of telegraphs the point that the actual victims will come from among these.

Further, as other reviewers have mentioned, there are HORRIBLE logic lapses.

Not worth watching even once -- if i could, the above rating would be "zero stars". Or even a negative number. Or perhaps i ought to borrow from Maltin and rate this steaming mass of cinematic garbage "BOMB"...

((When this was shown on television, it was re-edited and re-shot to make the sniper's motivation semi-plausible by making his rampage a cover for a major robbery, designed to occupy the police's attention while the robbery went down. It wasn't any better a film, but it was slightly -- only slightly -- more plausible.))

((I really recommend that you check out "Targets" rather than this film; it is more logical, better written and downright scarier.))

It's Super Bowl Sunday at the Los Angeles Coliseum and there is a sniper ready to shoot. This movie has an all-star cast: Charlton Heston, John Cassavetes and his wife, actress Gena Rowlands, Martin Balsam, Beau Bridges, Marilyn Hassett, David Janssen, Jack Klugman, Walter Pidgeon, David Groh, Pamela Bellwood, Ron Sheldon and many more. The sniper is ready to shoot at one person sitting in the stadium. (Which Hollywood star will be the one he shoots?) Watch the film to know the secret. Who is the sniper? When will he shoot? Who will he shoot? All these secrets will be revealed as the suspense builds. This DVD version is the original theatrical version. This is not the NBC Network version were 63 minutes of new footage was added and the sniper storyline changed. NBC also cut out some of the shooting. This original version on DVD may be okay to watch three hours before the real Super Bowl Football game in January.

It only takes one sniper to cause mayhem at a jam-packed Los Angeles Coliseum in this terribly underrated film that was wrongly tagged as an assembly-line disaster pic or a violent big-budget exploitation film. TWO-MINUTE WARNING gets good performances from leading actors Charlton Heston, Martin Balsam, and John Cassavetes in this well-made suspense thriller of police forces trying to stop a mysterious psychotic sniper from shhoting into a crowd of between ninety and one hundred thousand at a championship football game in the Coliseum. The film concludes with a horrible stampede of panic and horror that has all too accurately been repeated in real life in European soccer violence.

Although it has certain melodramatic elements and an all-star lineup (Brock Peters, Gena Rowland, David Janssen, Jack Klugman, etc.), TWO-MINUTE WARNING mostly avoids the pratfalls common to the disaster genre. And the climax, while indisputably violent (earning the film its 'R' rating) is never strictly speaking an overt case of blood and gore. And like Steven Spielberg with the psychotic trucker in DUEL, here director Larry Peerce decides to keep the sniper's identity a secret (until the end).

Since TWO-MINUTE WARNING is on both DVD and VHS, there is now no longer any need to see the butchered, watered-down version that ended up on television. It is in the original director's version that this film should be seen; it is well worth it.

It's hard to tell what William Friedkin is driving at in this grim tour of New York City's leathers bars. Al Pacino plays a detective who infiltrates this fringe of the homosexual world to flush out a killer, and whose own sexual identity becomes blurred in the process. It starts out strong but ultimately is too confusing and clichéd to be called "good."

It's not hard to tell that Cruising is from the director of The French Connection and The Exorcist. On the French Connection side of the cinematic coin, Cruising has the same documentary like and gritty, urban noir texture. On the other it has The Exorcist's blunt edged shock tactics, shoving unsettling imagery in the viewers face at every opportunity to do so.

Body parts are found in the rivers around NYC while a serial killer is hacking up men that frequent hardcore S&M gay leather bars. Desperate to close two unsavory cases (and not caring whether they are truly linked or not) top cop Paul Sorvino sends in rookie Al Pacino (who fits the victim profile) to lure the killer out of the shadows. The case seems to have an effect on Pacino's character, but director William Friedkin is far too objective, letting the unsavory events unfold without allowing the viewer to become emotionally involved in them, so it all seems shock for shock's sake. This movie was extremely controverisal when first released and (judging from the polarized reviews here) still packs a powerful and unnerving punch. Recommended for those that want a dark and disturbing ride.

A BRILLIANT vison by William Friedkin, equally enhanced by Al Pacino's naive cop on the beat, searching for an eluisive and brutal serial killer amidst the shadows of New York's 'alternate life styles' circa 1980. This much maligned movie is one of Mr. Friedkin's finest excursions into forbidden territory.

CAUSED quite a stir in pre-release; a disclaimer had to be added, BUT for that matter it could have been set in ANY 'world', although this one did mannage to jolt a few times ....

Yes, Pacino is the naive cop - slowly awakening to 'other' potentials in this cold-hearted world of the beautiful people. It's a strange trip, you never quite know who you might bump into along the way - straight or gay - it seems to be open season, as for 'casual sex' beware! BUT that was back then.....

NOT too explicit for its time - the editing is flawless [the opening seduction scene, the graphic, yet 'non-graphic' sex, [SUPERB EDITING] then the subsequent murder - somewhat reprised in Verhoven's 'Basic Instinct' - also caused quite a fuss - and a companion piece to this one].

The story falls apart when we find 'our killer' or is this intentional? Now, does the focus fall on Pacino and his girlfriend - Karen Allen - totally oblivious of her lover's change [maybe?] Wonderful and scary moment when Pacino is making love to Allen - proving ........?

AND the conclusion? All Studs and leather .....

BUT it's all quite tame, remember all of this is set pre-cybersex.

Would be fascinating to re-visit this theme along the computer-chip route.

Highly recommended for the uninitiated - but be warned - it can be quite a bumpy ride!

[PS - GREAT Soundtrack too!]

Film students, listen up: the formula for a typical Martin Lawrence film goes something like this. Find a comedy script and remove anything that smacks of cleverness and genuine humor - we don't want to upstage Lawrence's own 'natural ability' to provide laughs simply by showing up and looking cross-eyed into the camera. Add to the cast a sexy black woman/love interest who in real life wouldn't give Lawrenece himself or the character he's playing the time of day. Create lots of scenes that defy any semblance of reality and let Lawrence mug his way through with half-assed imitations of Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, and just about any other black comedian you can mention.

Speaking of which, I can't imagine Bernie Mac actually found this script funny enough to make an appearance. Believe me, you won't either. Everyone's obviously in it for an easy paycheck. Do yourself a favor and don't encourage them any further.

This lackluster comedy simply fails to deliver sufficient laughs per hour to justify spending the time to watch it. Martin Lawrence, who is normally a funny guy, just isn't on his game in this flick. Danny DeVito is better, but the material doesn't give him much with which to work.

There is a lot of talent wasted on stereotype bits that are more insulting than comical. William Fichtner's flamingly effeminate detective would only be funny to homophobes. John Leguizamo's Arab imitation is less humorous now than it might have been before September 11.

The only really funny bit in the film is a strictly visual gag by Stephanie Clayman as the sign language interpreter. Without virtue of a solitary line of dialogue, she single handedly produces all the most hilarious moments in the film.

This film is a dud. I rated it 3/10. Martin Lawrence fans are likely to be disappointed.

Not the Best movie, but worth seeing. if your looking for a movie to make you laugh alot than thi isn't it. But its alot better than some other movie out there so just give it a chance

This movie doesn't deserve to much time from me. The best part about this movies is BOSTON. It was filmed in Boston, and as a life time Massachusetts resident, I loved seeing our fair city in yet, another of the handful of films actually filmed here.
It is a city that looks beautiful on film.

Lawrence is playing his usual role of the petty thief who dances and talks way through the film. ....
I do usually like Danny Devito, but I don't know what he was thinking here. His character, Max, has a few funny moments, ....
Lawrence robs Devito, and Devito is in the house when it happens. He steals the ring Lawrence is wearing. The rest of the movie is Lawrence trying to get the ring back.
This movie didn't make me laugh much. When I was laughing, it was when Detective Tardio was on screen. What a hoot! William Fichtner plays him, and he is weird! really weird. At first, I didn't know what the heck his character was for, but I realize now that the movie needed him. He was the best that happened...

Let me tell you folks, the worst that could happen is that you miss this hilarious movie. Martin Lawrence is one crazy guy, and that Danny DeVito is so short! Martin's a crook, and Danny is a big businessman (only he's not actually very big, get it?!) and they get into this big fight over a ring. So the question becomes 'who is the real crook?' and it might just be Mister Capitalist Danny DeVito. So you see, there's a whole anti-globalization, crypto-Marxist dialectic going on in there, which will give you something to ponder as you chew your popcorn. When you're not laughing that is! If this isn' t the best film ever made, my name's not David Manning

On the surface, "Buzz Lightyear" looks like a Pokemon-style Saturday morning cartoon. It is certainly that, but it actually has some wit and cleverness about it, too. Firstly, there's the all-too-brief Pixar computer animated intro (about 4 mins.) featuring Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the rest of Andy's toys (Buzz, Woody, and Rex are the only ones who speak, though). We watch as Andy's toys insert this cartoon into the VCR. Then, we go smoothly into the animated Buzz's world. Thus, on a different level, this is a wry video that combines great sci-fi action with the clever twist of showing the viewer how Buzz became popular with his own TV series in the fictional world of the "Toy Story" movies. As with most of Disney's quality products, the video succeeds both ways--like the two "Toy Story" films, this 70 minute video is funny and smart at once. Plus, another reason to purchase this is to have the great song (over the closing credits) "To Infinity and Beyond" performed by William Shatner and the "Star Command Chorus". A true gem in itself. Overall, this an hour worth of entertainment you'll want to enjoy several times.

This DVD is a MUST for any fans of Toy Story, especially those who like Buzz more than Woody. Hey, it IS a hard choice, and maybe the country is split 50/50, but I think I'm in the Buzz Lightyear half. Though like I said, it's a tough choice. Anyways, I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because it is clear that it is merely a TV series pilot. What I mean is, most of this film is about introducing the characters you'll see on the show, setting up the situation for this upcoming situation comedy and all that. Now the show is out there, heck, it might even be off already, I'll have to check one of these Saturday mornings, but I watched it when I could, got several episodes on tape, and it was hilarious! On this DVD Tim Allen once again plays the voice of Buzz, but on the actual series the role was taken over by Patrick Warburton (The Tick, Kronk from the Emperor's New Groove, and Putty from Seinfeld). At first this bothered me, but eventually I grew to prefer his version of Buzz to Tim Allen's! Anyway, this is not important since the DVD uses Allen, so back to the DVD. As I said, it's about introducing the characters, but there IS a story involved. Here we get to see what Buzz is really all about. We get to see Evil Emperor Zurg, what it means to be a Space Ranger, and so on and so forth. It's all GREAT to a real Toy Story fan, but keep in mind that this is not Toy Story, it's not computer animation and the Toy Story gang only appear at the beginning to "introduce" the movie, or rather, to put it in their VCR and start watching it. The charcters here are Buzz, the huge, childlike Booster, XR the fast talking robot (who is the funniest character on the show), and the lovely Mira Nova. All the characters together do remind you a bit of the cast of Seinfeld, and some of them A LOT, especially Mira Nova. The story on this pilot episode is a bit less interesting than the show, and less funny, but it's still a must have and very entertaining. The DVD has some nice extras, including some cool games. I only hope more of this great show is released on DVD. Preferably all of it, though they rarely do that with American animation. I'd at least like to see more of these pilot episodes released, like the outstanding Duck Tales pilot, and the pilots for Tale Spin and Chip 'N' Dale's Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Bonkers, Goof Troop, etc...All these great Disney animated TV shows need to get DVD releases.

This movie is a great addition to a DVD collection. It is a great movie with 2 trivia games with it and it also has a Digital Comic Book. Buy it or Rent it it is great. If you liked Toy Story or Toy Story 2, this is the film to get.
