It doesn't really make that much sense to watch a sequel, when you haven't seen the original, so lets not go there. The first thing I thought about this movie was that it had similarities to True Lies. In True Lies, it was Arnie-baby trying to rescue his daughter (Eliza Dushku) from the hands of an evil tyrant. In Under Seige 2, it's Steven Seagal trying to rescue his niece (Katharine Heigl). But apparently, it's just a coincidence that these two films are similar. Eric Bogosian didn't really come across as your typical bad guy, which I thought was quite good. He looks like a wimp, one of those guys who sits staring at his computer, day in, day out. And the mop-top of curly hair just added to the whole effect. Steven Seagal doesn't seem your typical action hero either. He doesn't seem to have the muscles that Arnie flexes constantly, nor does he have the drop dead gorgeous looks. (I'm not saying that Arnie's drop dead gorgeous, I'm just - oh never mind) Maybe he would appeal to me more if he cut off that silly ponytail (give me a pair of scissors, I'll do it gladly) and toned up a bit. And he's so deadpan! Imagine someone Botoxed up to the eyeballs, and you'll have Steven Seagal. He shows no emotion either in any of his scenes, and manages to break guys necks left, right and centre quite convincingly. In that way, he's good as the good guy. He gets rid of the bad guys, each time in a different way - although he does break three guys necks. He does set a couple of people on fire. What I also noticed is that at the end, like True Lies, when the girl originally hated her dad/uncle, she's now all over him like a rash. It's a shame that Peter Greene - aptly named "Mercenary #1" - has to die in this movie (one of the three who gets their neck broken). He always seems to play the bad guy, and whereas he is quite nice looking, it must be his looks that make him bad guy material. Overall, it was an OK film, if not a little long between action scenes. Thankfully, none of it follows on from the first, so it's not like you're watching a sequel that you have to have seen the first, to understand the second. But unlike some people, I won't be going all out, and buying the Steven Seagal doll (sorry, it's NOT an action figure). When a film get released, it can sometimes have "action figures" to accompany the movie. So why was there never one to accompany The Matrix? I want to play with Keanu :) Shame it's all plastic, au naturel is so much better.

SECRETS tells of the adventurous producer Mel Wexler (Christopher Plummer) who is launching a new TV soap entitled "Manhattan". He has already scouted prospective actors and singles out formidable diva Sabina Quarles (Stephanie Beacham) for the lead role. At first, Sabina balks at the idea of doing a television series, but she needs the money badly, for some mysterious reason that she will not divulge to Mel. Mel also recruits the lovely daytime star Jane Adams (Linda Purl), handsome matinee idol Zach Taylor (Gary Collins) as well as fresh-faced newcomers Bill Warwick (Ben Browder) and Gaby Smith (Josie Bissett). But, for all the high-drama that plays out on the fictional "Manhattan", there is much more going on behind the scenes; Jane is trying to cope as best she can with her abusive husband, Zach is battling a nasty blackmailer, Bill's drug-using wife turns up dead, and Gaby is discovered to be the daughter of a rich millionaire. This is a truly delightful film, with some moments of fine comedy as well as touching romance. SECRETS is a fantastic movie.

Yor is a caveman type seeking to find the answer to the mystery of a strange medallion around his neck with his friends Ka-Laa and Pak. After a load of terrible editing, bad voice-overs (as though the characters were saying anything comprehensible anyway), and cheesy post apocalyptic fighting, Yor makes his way to an island where he learns that his parents and others are resisting the power mad Overlord! Will Yor and his people defeat Overlord and usher in a new age? Will he get into Ka-Laa's knickers? Hey, sit through it like I did and find out! Now, we've all heard of lousy little movies that have a following simply because they are sooo bad, but this mother takes the cake. Watching it really is painful, mainly because it is for the viewer, as it is for Yor, a voyage of self discovery. You'll learn you had zero taste as a kid.

Timothy Busfield ("thirtysomething," "The West Wing") is the only big name in the movie, as a gas pumper who's moved to a small town with his son. Busfield's Ray and a host of local yokels (a nose-pierced teenage girl, the old war veteran and diner cook, a coupla hick truck drivers, a mystical ex-hippie, the strong female presence, a bickering married couple and an Army guy who served in Area 51) are trapped in a diner as a bunch of trucks without drivers storm the place. It's best to watch this movie with a sense of humor, and surrounding yourself with a bunch of sarcastic friends will help even more. It's pure hoke, and it isn't hard to imagine Stephen King groaning in his seat-- or maybe even guffawing as "Trucks" takes cinema corn to an all new low. It's breathtaking in its sheer awfulness. Thing to watch for: The little toy truck with big plans for an innocent mailman. Only problem with the movie is that this truck shows up only once, but maybe that's just leaving room for the sequel. We can only hope.
Based upon the Stephen King story from his "Night Shift" collection, the movie is, agreeably, not bad for a made-for-TV movie, as it is quite chilling in a few scenes (The Tonka truck attacking an innocent mailman, and the spill generator in a control truck inflating a radiation suit which then grabs an axe and takes care of the drivers). Tim Busfield is good as the hero, and the supporting actors, being first time actors, get a passing grade from me. It is rumored that this was given a PG-13 upon video release, and then got more gore to bump it up to an R, and regrettably, that cut is not included. The movie is presented in widescreen, despite being a TV movie. Little grain is shown, and the print is quite clean. The extras fall flat, however, just being trailers for "Soemtimes They Come Back...Again", "The Tommyknockers", and the movie itself. Trimark does make some good DVD releases,. Unfourtunately, This isn't one of them. Good try, though. TRUCKS Ray: Timothy Busfield Director: Chris Thomson MOVIE: 4 EXTRAS: 3

Directed by Ernest Dickerson ("Juice") "Demon Knight" features the immense talents of William Sadler, Jada Pinkett Smith, and the ever versatile, amazing Billy Zane in a horror movie laced with plenty of comedic moments. The story revolves around a key that Sadler is carrying in order to pass on to the next guardian. There are a total of 7 keys, representing a galaxy each. According to Sadler's story, the key contains the blood of Jesus Christ. While dying on the cross at Golgotha, a follower of Christ pour his blood into the key to prevent the conquest of earth and the rest of the universe by Satan and his legion of demons. Until all keys are together can this happen, and with 6 of the keys in the hand of demons, the fate of the universe lies on Pinkett Smith's character, who is the chosen one to carry the key after Sadler. I must praise Billy Zane. He is amazing. He plays the perfect villain, and in this role he is dynamite. His performance is more comedic, and he would make similar villains of the past such as Freddy Krueger very proud. I can understand why Hollywood has typecasted him as a villain in almost all of his films after seeing this film. Zane's intense sex appeal will captivate many viewers, and his range of emotions is incredible. Pinkett Smith who was coming into films fresh from the cancellation of the long-running NBC series "A Different World," is great. As the heroine of the movie she really can kick butt, and her on-screen chemistry with Zane is perfect. In conclusion, this a great film to view if you are in the mood for horror mixed in with a bit of dark humor. The film can be strong at times with the sight of gore and violence, but if it weren't for Billy Zane's performance, I wouldn't have cared to watch this film at all. He is one of the film world's most gifted actors and this film was a showcase of his talent before he became a bigger name when he starred in "James Cameron's Titanic." "Demon Knight" is an excellent example of how to create an entertaining horror film. Skip "Blair Witch" and try this film instead.
It's really gross! They mutate and deform in different ways! But, if you like funny, actiony horror films that are explosive, This is It!!!

Description Reviews (7)
Then somebody finds a wrecked mech and tells the other survivors (Are there two or ten of them? Who knows.) to stay put for 20 hours while he fixes it. That's kind of funny since most everybody was killed in the first ten minutes of arriving. Anyhow, then there's a battle between two mechs that consumes some screen time. You know the drill: mech A shoots mech B about a thousand times, which results in mech B losing a headlight. Mech B shoots mech A about a thousand times, which results in some sparks and jiggling of the camera inside mech A. Repeat a couple of times. This has nothing to do with any plot of any sort - anything resembling a plot was forgotten about ten minutes into this thing. I mean, what the...??? This movie is just a complete joke. It's edited together in such a way that you can never tell what's happening, or who it's happening to. It's directed in such a way that it can't decide if it wants to be a serious Alien type movie or a silly Godzilla movie for the kiddies. The two definitely don't mix well. All in all, a real waste of some great sets and a neat premise. Brenda Bakke, as Texas Air Ranger Sgt. Nim (the American who gets knocked out so easily) is a really good character, surrounded by a huge load of utter nonsense. So sad.
This cult smash is a little-known piece of rare, live-action fare which delivers action and intrigue. The hero is a young, Japanese "Yankee Fan" and techno-geek, who must wind his way through an island fortress in the last known working "battle tank", Gunhed. There is an underlying sensuality set by the female lead, the "brawn" of the movie. Gunhed is one for your library, if you're an anime nut.

This is a terrible shame because Gunmen is a fun, lightweight flick of two guys, one good, the other bad, forced to work together against a common enemy. There are many funny one liners, and the action scenes are pretty good, though low budget. Denis Leary is always fun to watch when he's angry or evil, and he's almost always both in Gunmen.
Gunmen is a lively and entertaining movie with a witty script, nonstop action and a first rate cast. Denis Leary once again nails the bad guy role to a tee and Lambert and Peebles (who starred together in Highlander 3) make for a great buddy team. But I cannot recommend this movie to you on DVD. I waited so long for this to be released only to be dissapointed by the lack of OAR. Even the cover art is horrid. I mean I don't remember any volcanos in the film. Stay away from this DVD. Stick with your VHS. It is of the same quality. ... Read more | |
