Michael-Douglas Movie Reviews

Ann Blyth stars as ill-fated torch singer Helen Morgan in the musical biography THE HELEN MORGAN STORY.

Ann Blyth (ROSE MARIE, KISMET), and Paul Newman (CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, TORN CURTAIN) make for an electrifying screen couple. The story of Helen Morgan is given a reverent re-telling with an intelligent if overly-sentimental script. Helen Morgan is perhaps best-known for creating the role of Julie LaVerne in the original Ziegfeld production of "Show Boat".

Ann Blyth's vocals were dubbed here by Gogi Grant. The supporting cast includes Richard Carlson, Gene Evans, Alan King and Cara Williams.

Directed by Michael Curtiz.

I happened to be in the video store and was looking through my favorite section (classical movies) when I decided this looked interesting. I had no idea I would be so pleased! Paul Newman gives a wonderful performance of a man set to achieve his ambitions by using the woman he loves, never realizing how his actions are working to destroy them both. The songs are great and Blyth is also wonderful. I will be buying my own VHS of the movie soon.

I FIRST VEIWED THE HELEN MORGAN STORY WHEN I WAS ABOUT 11 0R 12 SINCE THAN IT HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE MOVIE AND THATS WHEN I FELL IN LOVE WITH PAUL NEMAN. IT TOUCHED ALL EMOTIONS ..THE MUSIC WAS WONDERFUL.GOGI GRANT'S VOICE WAS GREAT. ANN BLYH WAS PERFECT FOR THAT BABY GRAND PIANO,SHE COULDN'T HAVE GIVEN A MORE BELIEVABLE PERFORMANCE AS THE TINY LITLLE GIRL WITH THE GREAT BIG VOICE..IT WAS FULL OF GLAMOUR AND GAYIETY. IT BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES .PAUL NEWMAN WAS A GREAT GOOD GUY BAD GUY,NOBODAY COULD HAVE PLAYED THE PART OF LARRY MADDUX BETTER CARA WILLIAMS AND ALAN KING ADDED A GREAT TOUCH OF ROARING 20'S HUMOUR ..IF ANYONE WANTS TO HAVE AN EVENING OF MUSIC,HUMOR AND ALOT OF TEARS, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE DONNA.

"Orphans" is one of the best Scottish films in the last few years. More accessible than the likes of "My Name Is Joe", this film has a very dark streak of humour running through it. Dark, bitter but very very funny.

Essentially the tale of three brothers dealing with the death of their mother & the organising of her funeral, it's really about how the brothers relate to each other & relate to the death of the one bond they shared.

Highly reccomended.

As the plot line flows dark and humourous, the Glasgow experience really shines through a variety of charachters and locations visited in this film. A multi-faceted city, this movie expresses both the ridiculous and the beautiful of Glasgow. I also recommend Rat Catcher as a counterpoint to Orphans.

Peter Mullan's debut film as writer/director...looks, at first sight, highly unpromising.

It's about four Scottish siblings between late teens and late thirties dealing with the death of their mother. Okay, if you happen to be a fan of, say, Kieslowski, you may perk up at this point, but this is not that sort of film. Like "Three Colours: Blue", it never shies away from the pain of grieving. Unlike that film, it also has a completely berserk sense of the ridiculous.

The siblings themselves are the pious elder brother Thomas, his sceptical younger brother Michael, sister Sheila who has cerebral palsy (I don't know if Rosemarie Stephenson, who plays Sheila, actually _has_ cerebral palsy - but whether she does or not, she's truly extraordinary) and hothead college-boy John. The story takes place during the night before the funeral, and the morning of the funeral itself, and it gets going in brutal style with a nasty fight in a pub. It goes on to include a plaster statue of the Virgin Mary being shattered on a church floor, a disastrous attempt to scare someone who happens to be jerking off at the time, the most malevolent bar-owner in cinema history, and a church roof being torn off in a thunderstorm.

"Orphans" is one of the very few films to approach the insanity and awful comedy of grief, the way that messy life insists on intruding upon your own private despair. Mullan's script is ruthlessly truthful, his direction is unfailingly inventive and daring, and the film manages to be the product of a truly unholy schtup between Robert Bresson and the Weitz brothers. The cast is uniformly excellent, with special frond-type things going to the four leads, Douglas Henshall, Gary Lewis, Stephen McCole and Rosemarie Stephenson. It also has a sort-of cameo by Billy Connolly, of all people, as an unseen, absent God.

Filmmaking doesn't get much darker, funnier or wiser than this. Do yourself a favour and check it out.

If I were stranded on a desert island and could only request one novel to while away my days , it would be "Anna Karenina" .It is a novel that almost makes one crave for amnesia : so that one can relish it afresh each time ! It is sublime, it is divine and it is divinely human . The fictional landscape is strewn with stories of love gone sour but nothing even touches the hem of this masterpiece ...Madame Bovary is tawdry and tame in comparison .Shakespeare would have been proud of it! Thus , when one sits down to watch a cinematic adaptation of "Anna Karenina" the expectations are bound to be very high . This masterpiece theater production is credible but I'm afraid leaves a lot to be desired. Had I seen only this film version without having read the novel , I would have come away with a very mediocre opinion of the novel and would probably not even have felt compelled to read it . To do justice to "Anna" you have to have atleast a miniseries (4 hours just don't cut it ! ) .I have seen adaptations of Madame Bovary and they come out well in 2 hours but not "Anna Karenina"_____"Anna" is much more than a love story , it is a tableau of an entire civilization in its grime and glory that only a supreme master like Tolstoy could portray with such breathtaking vivid detail .Specifically , the character of Vronsky and Levin in this movie are rather two dimensional with none of the subtlety or nuance that Tolstoy imbued them with .Moreover the actress who plays Anna is downright ugly (she resembles some dowdy washerwoman !) with none of the ineffable ambivalence of Anna Karenina .Tolstoy paints her husband (Karenin) as a cold, dessicated, self-righteous bureaucrat but again it's missing from this movie .Tolstoy almost makes you "feel" the vastness of the Russian steppes in the novel ,makes you almost smell the hay at harvest time , makes you almost "touch" the muzhiks on Levin's farm but all that is missing from this version. Normally I would have given this film 3 stars but the only reason I give it 4 stars is because of the sheer magnitude of the challege any director faces when adapting a masterpiece like "Anna Karenina " .Only someone like a David Lean (Doctor Zhivago) could have done justice to Anna .

This is the best film adaptation yet of Leo Tolstoy's classic novel, Anna Karenina. I enjoyed it so much I was convinced it was time to read the book.

The strongest aspect of the film is the casting. Helen McCrory's Anna is a rose in full bloom. She is a passionate, red-blooded woman whose steps toward liberation inadvertantly lead onto the tracks. I believed every moment of her performance, and loved the lusciousness she brought to the role. She is no china doll, easily broken, but a woman whose power lies in her resoluteness. "She was magnificent," Constantine says of her to the unconsalable Vronsky at the end of the film. Her tragedy is all the greater because we can see her magnificence. Nothing smaller than a steam engine would be able to destroy the magnificent Anna.

Kevin McKidd as Vronsky is compelling and the most memorable aspect of the film. He is not a weak, vain, or insensitive Vronsky. Unlike other Vronsky's who only seem like plot devices to Anna's tragedy, his Vronsky is almost more tragic than Anna herself. I believe his love for her, his desire to marry her, and his growing frustration that she will not believe or accept his love. He even looks Russian, fair and slightly goggle-eyed, breathtakingly at home in regimental uniforms. Any woman who has ever loved a man in uniform will recognize him immediately, and wish they knew someone with even half his loyalty, heart, and dignity.

I was originally drawn to the production by the actor who is cast as Konstantin, the gruff and merry Douglas Henshall. His Konstantin is not morose and affected, but a sensualist, awkward in polite company, and pure in heart. His adoration for Kitty (played by the lovely Paoloma Baeza, who has appeared in other Masterpiece Theatre productions) is moving and sweet. He adds a much-needed sense of humor to the film.

The moral and inflexible Karenin is played by Stephen Dillane in a brilliant piece of casting. He is portrayed as a decent man, not a monster. Most films of Anna Karenina portray Karenin as a wife beater. Stephen Dillane makes Karenin a sympathetic character. He is not a passionate man, Anna did not marry for love, yet he loves her in his own loyal way, and there is a sense of his waiting in the wings for her eventual return.

This Masterpiece Theatre presentation of Anna Karenina is a brilliant production of a much-adapted novel. A little lengthy in pieces, (and a little bit Anglo in presentation ... this is definitely Anna Karenina a la Victoria) but luscious in its attention to detail and in its portrayal of the complexity of the situations and the characters. One of the better recent Masterpiece Theatre productions, along with Oliver Twist, The Buccanneers, and The Way We Live Now.

A highly amusing comedy and one of the very best entries to the Carry On series. The historical ones were generally regarded as the best in the series and this one is exceptionally good ranking alongside Cleo (1964), Don't lose your head(1966), Screaming (1966) and Up the kyber (1968) in terms of quality. The players all take on surprisingly realistic American accents and the whole scenery and costumes make this a little more beleavable than ususal. The best players are Sid James as the rumpo kid in one of his best roles in the series, Jim Dale, Joan Sims and Kenneth Williams. This was probably the most darkest and violent of all carry On films made but the shoot out scene at the end is wonderfully staged. A very good comedy and a classic in the series.

One of the best! This movie cannot be missd. A great cast and a great story make this Carry On a classic that can be watched again and again and again. Jim Dale is great as the hero and Sid James is brilliant as the bad guy.

The movie starts off just like any western with the 'riding into town scene' and one of the funniest moments in the movie occurrs in the first bit of dialouge when the Rumpo Kid (Sid James) has just killed three cowboys that were walking towards him. He then says with an american accent, "I wonder what they wanted." The rest is a wild ride with mix ups, great comedy and adventure.

This would have to be the best costume Carry on next to Carry on Cleo.

The plot involves an Easterner who accepts a job in the West and finds his job description puts him at odds with most of the town. Three women want to help him and each declares her interest with the prefix "we go together like..." [visualize the women for yourself] -- [a] ham and eggs [b] peaches and cream [c] syrup and pancakes. It was years ago that I watched this movie and I still smile recalling the hi jinx and farce.

Republic loved to have kings in its movies (Roy Rogers, the king of the cowboys) and serials (King of the Texas Rangers, King of the Forest Rangers, King of the Rocket Men), usually because the serial hero has that last name (as with Rocket Men, Jeff King). Maybe it started when the studio did the serial version of "King of the Royal Mounted." The studio used the same excellent flying effects by the Lydecker brothers that had been used in its earlier "Captain Marvel" serial. Rocket Man's flying suit and jet pack proved such an enduring image that Republic used it again in two unrelated serials ("Radar Men from the Moon" and "Flying Disc Man from Mars," each featuring a different actor and character, not to mention a short-lived "Commando Cody" TV series) -- so much so that the relatively-recent "Rocketeer" movie did it for a new generation. But the original is still the most fun.

Tristram Coffin (in an unusual heroic role) dons a cutting-edge flying suit to become crime-busting Rocket Man. Whenever the power-hungry criminal strikes, the ubiquitous Rocket Man is there. (There's really only ONE Rocket Man in this 1949 serial; his surname happens to be King.) The action is impressively staged: when Rocket Man soars across the skies and leaps into a moving truck, for example, the effect is dazzling. The serial plays like a live-action comic book, and this is one cliffhanger in which the villain actually succeeds in carrying out his master plan (find out for yourself how much he gets away with!). Action fans will get a big kick out of this.

It cost me 19.95 and it was worth it! A uprising plot, great fight scences and oh-yeah Rocketman!Awesome special effects too, Would reccomend to complete strangers on a street corner! And unlike many serials it is not all that long, only about 2 1/2 hours and I can watch it in one afternoon again.. and again.. and again...

The Kissing Place is a good movie, the title is really weird and the story is kind of weird and a little scary but the movie is good, it's about a boy who begins to have nightmares and starts to wonder if the people he grew up with are actually his parents.

I don't know the name of the child actor who played the boy but the parents are played by David Ogden Stiers from M*A*S*H, and Meredith Baxter Birney from Family Ties.

Not a movie I would want to buy but it would make a good rental or a good movie to watch if it happens to be shown on TV.

This was a great movie and Meredith Baxter was outstanding and it was a complete shock to see her play such a psychotic character when you knew her as the loving mother with the happy, sunny disposition on Family Ties, she really scared the daylights out of me in this movie!

Like Kathy Bates in Misery, Meredith Baxter Birney delivers an outstanding superb performance in this made-for-TV thriller. In general, most people probably hasn't heard of the movie. When I first saw this movie on television ten years ago, I couldn't stop watching until the movie was off. In consequence, I bought the movie. Now, I have to say that this is one of the best made-for-tv thrillers I have ever seen. I would recommend this movie to anyone whose searching for a thrilling epic.

The movie starts out nice with Tommy(Billy), Florence, and Charles as one big happy family. Then, Tommy starts snooping around and questions whether or not Florence and Charles are his real parents. Continuously, Tommy has dreams of a playground (known as the kissing place). He pictures himself going down a slide. The more dreams he has, the more the truth reveals.

At last, when Tommy figures out once and for all that they are not his real parents, he takes a stand for running away and finding the kissing place. That did not stop Florence from trying to stop Tommy.

In the end, everyone mangles together to set the truth across. If anyone out there gets the chance to watch this movie, I hope whoever finds it exciting as much as I did!

i got the maverick serouis years ago and its a great western to watch it differant than most becuse its funney and adventous and enjoyable to watch i recomend it to anyone its a good story and so are the rest! columbia movies? i think offers the conpleat searous of tapes thats how i got mine!check it out, it also offers have gun will travel great show i have almost all of them!

I thought this was more of a standard western than other Maverick episodes. If you like the series, you'll enjoy adding this to your collection. if you haven't seen the series, I'd suggest starting with "Shady Deal at Sunny Acres" or "According to Hoyle."

This was the first episode of "Maverick" to be written. Roy Huggins had intended it as the first one to be broadcast as well but the studio insisted on using a rewrite of a story that they already owned instead, so that they wouldn't have to pay Huggins the creator fees. Standard policy for the period. 29-year-old James Garner is superb in delivering the complex and mature characterization of Bret Maverick and a young Mike Connors, who later played TV's "Mannix," is the episode's guest villain. The show has a verve, energy, and intelligence that set the tone for the run of the series. It is by definition an excellent start for experiencing "Maverick."

I first saw this film when I was about 10 years old on television. I never forgot it or the impact it had on me at the time. I remember it being suspenseful, even scary. I did not see it again until I was an adult. It still has impact. The movie actually raised questions of faith and fear. I am a counselor in a rehab for adolescent males and have used the movie in a spirituality group. It really made for an excellent discussion. A good film that holds it own however you view it: spiritual, fantasy, or suspense.

this is a great midnight movie (especially when it rains) since one of the highlights of the movie is the "rain sequence" when god demonstrates his power. A definite feel good movie, abit dated, but reminds us all that the "family" (whatever that means to each individual) whether it's a gay couple, a widow and her pet doggie, or a single mom with 3 kids, is what we basically all have and should cherish the moments and work through our fears (movie time is during the beginning of the cold war). I enjoyed it and liked it in black and white (pretty good acting too).

An average working man and his family discover, along with the rest of world, where true peace of mind comes from. To add to the story, God contacts us via radio. In 1950 when this film was released, television was still attempting to establish itself into the American home. This great film was directed by William Wellman, who also directed the classic 1927 movie "Wings". It stars James Whitmore (veteran actor, seen in recent years in the Miracle Gro commercials), Nancy Davis (Nancy Reagan, Ronald Reagan's wife) and Tom D'Andrea (Gillis from TV's "Life of Riley".)

Although the premise of Austin Powers 2 is somewhat funny--that Austin Powers must journey back in time to retrive his mojo from Dr. Evil--I found that way too many of the jokes were simply recycled from the original film.

Everything, from "one million dollars" to a variation of "Shhh!" are re-inacted in this film. Yes, they're "Dr. Evil"-isms--but I personnaly felt that it just wasn't original enough.

I didn't find Austin Powers himself as funny this time, either, as he's adapted to the '90s and doesn't seem as hopelessly lost as he was in the first film.

The best scenes of the movie are, once again, the Dr. Evil segments, particularly the triangular interaction between Dr. Evil, Scott, and Mini-Me.

In short, I like the first movie best of all, and I like "Goldmember" better than this one, too, because I feel that it offers more originality.

By the way, there is a secret "Dr. Evil" menu on this DVD that is not immediately accessable. It took me a while to find it; just go to the "Special Features" menu and watch Austin dance for a while, and after about half a minute or so, the Dr. Evil rocket will come up and bring up the new menu. This includes the Dr. Evil/Mini-Me music videos, the "Canned Ham" special shown on Comedy Central prior to the film's theatrical release, and commentary by Dr. Evil on various '60s spy films.

Although I enjoyed the first one somewhat, I wasn’t exactly gasping for air from endless fits of laughter from it. And even though ‘The Spy Who Shagged Me’ was in the same so-stupid-it’s-funny vein, and recycled quite a few gags from the first AP, I found it far funnier & more enjoyable. Once again Dr. Evil pretty much steals the show, partially thanks to his interactions with his midget clone, Mini-Me. Throw in a disgruntled Jabba-esque Scotsman who knows just the wrong things to say, and a few especially nasty gross-out moments (Austin drinking an ersatz cup o’ joe, and the infamous tent scene), and you have a little something for everybody! Well, everybody who likes silly and somewhat dumb yet entertaining genre parodies, anyway.

The extra features include just about all of the things you’d expect in a special-collector’s-edition DVD release: There’s twenty minutes worth of deleted scenes, many of which I felt should’ve been put back into the movie. Some of them, though, were alternate versions of other scenes that probably wouldn’t’ve worked as well had they been restored. My personal fave: an alternate ending featuring an intimate moment between the old & young Numbers Two. It has to be seen to be believed!

Also included: a documentary that goes behind-the-scenes and looks back on Austin’s influences, trailers, and of course a feature-length commentary track with star Mike Myers & director Jay Roach. They basically go over how each scene was set up, discuss certain concepts that were considered and/or filmed but were eventually dropped, comparisons to (and inspiration from) other movies in the spy/ladykiller genre, and include a few amusing anecdotes here and there. You know, just a basic, run-of-the-mill commentary track.

Also thrown in are a few tie-in music videos, including Madonna’s ‘Beautiful Stranger’, and an utterly bizarre new rendition of ‘Word Up’ featuring former Spice Girl Mel B decked out as… some kinda space-station-looking thingy with two-foot-long chrome fingernails. Also featured in ‘Word Up’: a bit of movin’ & groovin’ by Mini-Me. But Lenny Kravitz’ rendition of ‘American Woman’ is the best cut, and had the most straightforward visuals of the three videos. Nothing too fancy here, save for the blinking lightup American flag backdrop.

There’s even a few ‘hidden’ things (I think they’re referred to as ‘Easter Eggs’ in the DVD-phile lexicon) I haven’t yet figured out how to uncover. If someone out there reading this would be kind enough to drop me an e-mail explaining how to access these hidden gems, I’d really appreciate it!

‘Late

Not only is this a fabulous movie, it's a great DVD. I've watched this film over 30 times and it still makes me laugh every time. It's got some great bits that are destined to becomes classic.

Unlike the first movie, Austin Powers takes a backseat to the Dr. Evil and Fat Bastard characters in this film, he is not the funniest character in the movie. Mike Myers really refined his Dr. Evil for this go around and every time he's on screen it's pure sugar in a bag it's so good.

Needless to say, everybody probably knows the Austin Powers films and either loves them or hates them, so I'll talk about the disc itself, and it is phenomenal. Get rid of that pan and scan VHS tape because this baby is in Widescreen! The menus are fully animated with Austin himself and the extras are great, particularly Dr. Evil's secret page. It also includes three music videos, the best of which is Madonna's Beautiful Stranger. And don't even get me started on the deleted scenes because they are the best deleted scenes I have ever seen on any DVD bar none, and most are extremely funny and worthy or remaining in the completed film, which is usually not the case with cut scenes. The disc's commentary also hints that there was hours more footage that the filmmakers were unable to include in the finished film due to length. It's too bad they couldn' t have included all of that in this package. And speaking of the commentary, it's quite good. A little dry when discussing technical details, but Mike Myers always livens it back up.

Bottom line: A must-have for fans.
