Michael-J.-Fox Movie Reviews

This is not a bad re-make, but the original 1963 Incredible
Journey is a gem and wish it would come out in DVD. It is not a gimmicky.

yep, you heard me, 17. This is ANYTHING BUT just a movie for kids- only reason it's considered a kid's movie is cause it's from Disney & there's cats & dogs in it. This movie has some hillarious lines- my favorite being Chance saying "Go steal some parrige(or however its spelled) to the bears. And of course there's "Birdzilla Returns!"- lol. Yet there are some sad parts, like when Shadow falls into the ditch & says to Chance "You've learned everything you need to know, now you just need to know how to say goodbye". I will be very honest, that part and the ending left a lump in my throat. Yep, you heard me clearly- I AM A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD BOY and this movie made me cry! I usually am not that emotional over movies. Anywayz, this movie has a GREAT message for teens believe it or not- It can show you to not make big deals over the little things & focus more on what's really important.

As for the sequal, Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Franciso, well it's good, but not nearly as good as this one. This is a must for anyone who needs a good laugh or a good message about life.

Another Disney winner. Wether or not you have children 'Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey' should be on your 'must see' list. You'd think it would be ridiculous to have cats and dogs "thinking" to each other but the result is entertainment at its best. All three animals (two dogs and a cat) are voiced by great talent, the dialog is snappy and the scenery is fabulous. Bruce Broughtons music adds perfect flavor to the visuals and the end result is a perfectly charming little movie which never fails to make you laugh and cry.

It starts off when the three animals have to stay with a farm woman when their owners are on vacation. Shadow a golden retreiver misses his owner when they are on vaction. He thinks the owners are in trouble so decides to go home. With Chance an american bulldog and Sassy an Himilayan cat on his side the animals cross plains, rivers, and mountains through an incredible journey. They also come across bears, mountain lions, porcupines, skunks, racoons, and even a lost little girl. It also had it's sad moments when Sassy gets pulled away by the river, when Chance got hit in the face by a porcupine, and when Shadow broke his leg falling down an unfinished train track. You will love this movie. It also has a lot of funny moments in it too especially between Chance and Sassy. This is a must see!!!

Homeward bound was not as good as the sequel. My great grandmother when she was alive had a few entertaining shows to watch such as home alone, major payne, the big green and of course, homeward bound. I'm 12 years old and pround to say that this movie is way cool. Its not one I go buy the speical edition dvd and show to all of my many friends, but its entertaining just the same.

I became obsessed with finding this film, along with its sequel, after seeing the second Austin Powers. As a huge James Bond fan, I found Derek Flint and his ultra-cool approach to saving the world very entertaining. James Coburn is perfect in this role. He has more gadgets than Q could ever think up, he has four beautiful women living with him, and he can save the world without even trying. Overall, this film was a very amusing satire of the 007 series, and a must for any Austin Powers fan

James Coburn met the legendary Bruce Lee after he made Our Man Flint, and we can thank Flint for influencing the screen fighting style of the Dragon. We can also thank Derek Flint for being the only person in the world that would make James Bond sweat. Our Man Flint is classic fun, and deserves five stars, just as "It Happened One Night." Much more than a parody, Flint does 007 better in practically every area: dancing, women (he has his own harem), gadgets (his cigarette lighter has 63 different functions, and he makes his own stuff, being a scientific genuis). Even his boss, played by the wonderful Lee J. Cobb, is a grander fellow than M. He also speaks 60 languages,is a fencing and close combat master, and a master yogi who can stop his heart. Although tongue in cheek, Flint as a self-evolving man is almost believable, and that's part of his enduring entertainment value. (Mr. Spock was also heavily influenced by Flint, if you'll compare their mannerisms. The Vulcan death grip is first featured in In Like Flint. Spock wouldn't be half as fun if he didn't have an air of believability.)

The villans' (there are three, including a Caucausian named Dr. Lee and a Chinese named Dr. Schneider) nefarious plan also poses a challenge to the Bond films: controlling the world's weather. Plus, Flint fights much, much better than 007.

He's also a rebel, unlike the office bug 007, and balks at being hired by the major super powers. Whoever created the Flint character should take a big bow; James Coburn as Derek Flint is endearing, hysterical (while doing everything with a straight face)and a Super guy, not just a mere super spy. He's an inspiration for kids of all ages to hit the books, to explore and discover.

I've heard that James Coburn would have done more 'Flints' but they couldn't come up with good scripts. A real shame, for with five or six 'Flints,' Coburn would have become a megastar.

Thank you, Mr. Coburn, Mr. Flint.

In 1966, after reading the New Yorker review by the inimitable Brendan Gill, I saw this movie, which he recommended, calling James Coburn: "...a very funny fellow."

I wasn't prepared for how much I would be impressed by the clever, modest Derek Flint. One of the highlights of the movie is when, seeing a fly in the office of his friend, Chief Cramden, takes out a cigarette holder and goes into "hunt and seek" mode....eyeing the little beast as it flies around the room. He then uses the cig holder as a blow dart and NAILS the fly to the wall! That scene alone was impressive enough to make me a fan forever!

Coburn's sense of cool defines this movie...the way he handles Flint's knowledge of just about everything, his unflappability in the face of iminent death and his ability to estricate himself from the closest of calls will have him endearing himself to YOU as well! Edward Mulhare makes an excellent, comic-book style villain against Coburn, and Gila Golan plays the femme fatale that Flint eventually wins over to the side of the angels.

From the Bob Peak poster art to the Jerry Goldsmith score, not to mentiion Coburn's great take on what should have been a MUCH larger franchise, I guarantee you'll become a fan of the very personable Mr. Flint.

I really like Barbara Hershey, and I wish she had saved her talents for something better than this movie. This is the story of a woman stalked by a ghost who rapes her repeatedly. Puportedly based on a true story, it fizzles after a promising beginning, and believing that some woman actually experienced this (or thinks she did) doesn't help matters.

The special effects are quite convincing for the time, but fail to carry the movie. I watched this at home, alone, late at night, and wasn't scared at all. Perhaps my expectations were too high after several recommendations, but I was frankly bored by this movie.

That said, Barbara Hershey does turn out a solid performance. That held my interest just enough to watch the entire film. Had it starred a lesser actress, I think I would have stopped watching after the first half hour. If you are a dyed-in-the-wool Barbara Hershey fan, you should catch this movie (it'll make you miss her old lips, however). But if you want to be scared out of your wits, choose something else.

The Entity was one of my favorite scary movies; one of the reasons is that it was based on a factual account of another's life. Imagine being that woman, the horrors she must have faced, and the terror she still must be facing. I think that Barbara Hershey did a wonderful job portraying in this role. The effects for that time were done very well, especially when the hands were touching her and you could actually see the imprints on her skin. It surely left chills up my spine. I can't wait until this movie comes out on DVD. One of your previous reviewers from Greenville, SC USA said," This movie had great acting, intriguing story, and good music, but it is not even the least bit scary or disturbing. I really think it had potential, but it was way too predictable. If you thought it was scary, well whatever. I didn't think it was scary. If you want real scary get The Other (not The Others), The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Salem's Lot, Pet Cemetery, or Evil Dead". That person needs to realize the difference between the Gore factors and the Fear factors. His/her opinion is fine if your looking for blood and gore then this movie isn't for you. I found this movie to be more of a suspense/drama/thriller. So, if you are looking for blood and gore like (i.e.: Troma type movies) than this movie isn't what you'll be getting. So, Mr./Ms. Greenville, SC USA should really reevaluate his or her perspective before giving an opinion on movie genre's and not compare suspense and fear flicks with blood and gore....it just isn't appropriate.

Tales of the supernatural are some of the hardest to make effective and believable. "The Entity" doesn't really accomplish both of these things to its full potential, but man is it great! Barbara Hershey turns in a very heartfelt performance as a single mom who's had some pretty traumatic experiences in her life that are the basis for her shrink's accusations of delusions when she begins to feel some sort of entity sexually assault her in her own house. The sequences of rape by an un-earthly force are extremely effective, and the pitter-patter in between isn't bad, either. In my opinion the doctor played by Ron Silver completely underminds the movie in a way that's indescribably annoying, but it's the strength of the Hershey character, the incredible special effects, and the shocking nature of the rape sequences that put this movie over the top. I loved it. However, a word of warning to the squeamish: If "The Accused" disturbed you, this will tear your nerves to shreds.

Stuart has became a full member of the Little family. Stuart goes with George (Jonathan Lipnicki) to the school with his human brother and plays soccer. Only, once outside of the family, Stuart still finds no friends. Lady bird Margalo bursts into his life, and they quickly become friends. Still, apparently Margalo is not as happy with the new friendship as is Stuart. This is how the movie starts.

"Stuart Little 2" succeeds where many sequelae fail: it presents a perfectly independent story. The problems from the first movie are forgotten.

Now Stuart has new problems. In search of true friendship, he entangles himself into a turbulent adventure. The human characters Geena Davis and children, including Jonathan Lipnicki, move simultaneously into the background. Sparkling animation and exciting action again delight, as tom-cat Snowball with his witty brisk sayings angles for best supporting character.

A fun movie for the whole family.

The sequel to the E.B. White story of Stuart Little is so amazing and much better than the first. Kids will love the sequel if they enjoyed the first E.B. White story Stuart Little and Charolette's Web. Rob Minkoff did a great job making the sequel. Michael J. Fox was so amazing doing his act as Stuart Little.

I have seen many a movie sequel, and a few of them (mostly family movies from Disney and several others) really ... So I wasn't too sure about SL2. I loved the first one but was hesitant. I asked for it for Christmas and got it, and I just watched it, it was awesome! It was terrific. It had the same qualities of the first movie and was just plain good! I recommend this to anyone whol loved the first movie or enjoyed the original book because there is a part from the book that wasn't in the first film but is in this one. The character of Margalo is played very well by Melanie Griffith. Stuart as usual is voiced by the fantastic Michael J. Fox and has a very good part this time around. I loved the character of Snowball, played by Nathan Lane who is awesome in all his roles (even the really disturbing cameo appearance he has in Austin Powers in Goldmember) has some of the wittiest one liners in the entire movie. He is funnier in this one than in the first movie! Anyway, check this great movie sequel, and please click on the helpful button.

This concert exemplified the magic of music as the background for Americans coming together to grieve collectively. Watching this concert will show you raw emotional energy rarely seen on television. It is a sad concert and there are many times where you can see individual instances of personal grief among the music of many different superstars. It is a long concert and well worth a viewing. Among other things, I thought Paul McCartney was cheesy and his song "Freedom" was a situation where you had an amazing song writer reacting to bad circumstances but with poor results. The Who in my opinion, stole the show and then some, they were amazing as always. I don't think Jay-Z was placed at the right time when he came out. Billy Joel was everything New York as he always has been.
The ultimate point for you, is that you should own this DVD as it is a recorded reminder of music's response to an American tragedy with an audience showing us the rawest and most powerful of human emotions out for the world to see. Some may say it was convenient for superstars to show up and act really concerned and to use their fame as a pulpit to try and relate to everyday people; however, those people are uptight, why else do you go to concerts?, to be taken away from everyday routines and tragedies of life, so a concert of this magnitude after 9/11 was exactly what the country needed.

I preordered my dvd in early january, i was not fortunate enough to see this event live. Why buy this? You could cop out and only say: Mc Cartney, jagger,keif, elton john, james taylor etc. etc.. You could buy this to feel the emotions of the firefighters and police who lost so many. Listen to politicians who represent the emotion that we felt at the time. Not fighting for a partisan but for the people. Toss in a few entertainers who can make us laugh and cry. Still you have not gotten to the point of why to buy. This may be the most powerful dvd you can ever buy. You cannot watch washington cross the delaware or see lincoln give the gettysburg address. We have watched the towers be struck and tumble again and again. This concert is the beginning of the healing. We cry with our great servicemen and women We sing along to the songs that we have grown up with. We cannot, will not forget sept. 11th and if only one penny from each item purchased goes to help someone who lost a loved one. Then it is a penny well spent. GOD BLESS AMERICA and may god bless new york city. Thank you for a great piece of history and an even better night of entertainment

This is a killer concert, and I was lucky enough to see it live on television. I do miss the live aspect of the DVD in that they edited out some of the mistakes and the booing of Hilary Clinton. While I understand why they cleaned things up, they mistakes were some of the best parts of the show. Melissa Etheridge came out and started singing, but the microphone was not working. This went on for a little bit and was great, but it was edited fom the DVD. The sound and the show is amazing, and it was great to see the reactions to the performers. Bill Joel doing Manhattan 2120, and the Who. Killer.
