3-0 out of 5 stars Eleniak,Brenda Doumani, Rossi and Tessiero
Movie was ok could have been MUCH better, Erika Eleniak was great as always, and Brenda Epperson Doumani is definitely right up there with Eleniak, it was great to see Steve Rossi from the old comedy team of Allen and Rossi his performance was excellent, the director should have capitalized on one of his cast members Michael A. Tessiero, needed to see more of him, this guy is turning up everywhere , has great screen presents, can't put him in a scene with any leading men though, if you do viewers will be wondering why Tessiero is not the star. All in all it was entertaining.

3-0 out of 5 stars Vegas: City Of Dreams??
When I got this film, I bought Four Dogs Playing Poker as a Amazon.com deal. Vegas: City of Dreams had a very interesting plot in the beginning of the film but it slowly declined. I felt like I was watching a soft-core porno-soap. It seems casting wasn't the best... they probably went to every strip joint in Vegas and said to every stripper, "Hey, ya want to be in a movie?" I am a huge John Taylor fan and I was thrilled to hear he got one of the lead roles, but I was very disappointed because his acting wasn't the best. If you are a down-right fan of one of the actors in the movie, buy it... but don't buy it out of curiousity. Sorry, John.

3-0 out of 5 stars Modest prdouction values but high Erika content!
This advertizes as being in the spirit of 'Charlies Angels' and 'The X-files' but is a low budget affair throughout. 3 sisters return home at X-mas only to find their 4th murdered and they want to know why. The 4 do not even remotely look related but if you are an Erika Eleniak fan, she gets lots to do and delivers her lines with professional zeal throughout. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Love Story
I saw this movie on cable and just had to buy it. It is a great love story. I loved the scene when Jimmie is waiting for Taylor after he gets out of the hospital. When he sees her coming home with Scott in the morning he thinks she has spent the night with him. The emotions he shows are wonderful when he tries to leave, but comes back. You can tell he is so confused. It is great!!!!....

3-0 out of 5 stars You Need Not Take It Seriously to Like It
BUG BUSTER is one of those rarest of fright films: it knows when not to take itself too seriously even if it does not know when to frighten and when to amuse. The Bug of the movie is the Mother Bug, a flying roach that looks exactly like what is it, some guy on wires wearing a bug suit. It is hard to imagine even small children being fightened, but it is far easier to see that the audience is titillated by overlapping waves of corny dialogue, cheesy special effects, and guest appearances by Star Trek's James Doohan as a corrupt small-town sheriff and George Tokei as a demented entymologist. The plot is nonsense, of course. A Mother Bug lays eggs that threaten everyone in town. This theme of insectoid mother love we have seen before. ALIENS showed us how it could be presented in a serious vein. But here, in BUG BUSTER, everything is played for laughs. Randy Quaid steals the show as exterminator General George, who squares off in a boxing match with the Mother Bug in a scene that pays homage to Charles Dutton, who tried much the same in ALIENS 3. The result of this slugfest is a microscopic metaphor of the joy that a Big Bug movie can bring if only it refuses to take itself too seriously.

3-0 out of 5 stars BEAM US UP SCOTTIE!
Yes, James Doohan and George Takei, STAR TREK's Scotty and Sulu, are in this movie. Doohan has more screen time as the sheriff, but Takei as an eccentric scientist, looks like he stepped right out of a Japense scifi flick.
BUG BUSTER, an entertaining little flick, has an identity crisis that works against its overall effectiveness. Is it a horror movie with comic touches or is it a comedy with horror touches? It's not out and out satire like the Scary Movie series, and it seems to want to take itself seriously, even with Randy Quaid's over the top General George, the pest eliminator. At any rate, director Lorenzo Doumani keeps the movie going along pretty well and has some unique things going for it.
First, here we have Bernie Kopell (from LOVE BOAT) and Anne Lockhart (June's daughter) playing the parents of premenopausal Katherine Heigl. And they get their own love scene..it's nice to see people past the age of 50 having the desire to have sex and show their love for each other.
As for the bugs, the real roaches are quite repulsive, and even the giant one at the climax is effectively disgusting. Downtown Julie Brown has a "cute" cameo as the reporter for FU2 t.v., where she blatantly extols the calamities happening in the little town of Mountainview.
Another unique touch: Trailer Trash, the band in the lodge's lounge, featuring Melba Toast and ?, is hilarious.
Entertaining, but its identity crisis, keeps it from being better. Oh, Brenda Doumani who plays the veterinarian is effective, and probably related to the director? Anyway, she also sings the movies closing credit song, "Virtue", which is about as bad as a song can get!

5-0 out of 5 stars One of Heigl's best films
OK, there are two reasons why this film gets 5 stars. You Katherine Heigl fans know what I mean.

Here Heigl's family moves to a small west coast town being pleagued by giant bugs. And only the cast of 'Star Trek' can save her.

For a B movie the production is suprisingly good.

For those of you disapionted by Heigl's recent films 'Valintine' and 'Evil Never Dies' have no fear. Thoses film stunk because Heigl barely had any screen time. In 'Bug Buster' she is truly the main character and does what she does best, taking baths and showing.

I'd probably rate this film third after 'Wish Upon a Star' and 'Prince Valient' (where is that DVD?)

If your a guy wondering "who in Katherine Heigl?" Look her up on the internet. Then come back here and order this film.

2-0 out of 5 stars Bug Buster
Well guys, I was one of those who made the movie. Comical is the only word for it. Let me tell you, it wasn't intended to be a humorous film at first!
-this from the hard working art department

3-0 out of 5 stars Where No Movie Has Gone Before...
Comical supposed "horror" movie with the doctor from "Love Boat" (Bernie Kopell), Sulu (George Takei) and Scotty (James Doohan) from "Star Trek", and Isabel (Katherine Heigl) from "Roswell", as well as co-star of those wonderful "Vacation" movies, Randy Quaid.

The whole thing with the bugs and the dark and the water was pretty darn far-fetched. If you are a horror movie fan, this is NOT the film for you. Randy Quaid as a twisted exterminator-general -- that's about the only scary thought in the movie. But if you want see former Trek dudes die, it's all right.

But let's face it: this movie would have been pretty darned unwatchable without Katherine Heigl in it. She looked the best I had ever seen her look (at least until the June 2000 Maxim shots). She has some acting talent as well, though you would not be able to discern it from this flick. More Heigl and less Scotty in the future works for me... ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Storybook - Spritual Values for kids (and grownup kids)
Storybook
"Anything is possible if you believe"

Eight-year-old Brandon has a lot more faith than most people. When everybody else assumes his fighter-pilot father has been killed in action, Brandon continues to believe he will return. It's the unshakable faith that Brandon needs most when he finds a magical Storybook and accidentally crosses over into enchanted Storyland.
Storyland has been held under the dark rule of Queen Evilia and her sorcerer snake, Hiss, for years. When Brandon shows up, the people and animals believe he's "The One" who has come to find Prince Arthur's magic sword, free Prince Arthur and restore happiness to the kingdom. That's a tall order for a mere boy, but his faith gives him the power he needs. With help of his dog Leo and his friends Woody the Woodsman, Pouch the Boxing Kangaroo and Hoot the Wise Owl, the seemingly impossible comes true. And in the process of the quest, Brandon learns that his greatest power in his belief in himself.
Storybook is a heartwarming story filled with mystery, magic and adventure in the tradition of a fairy tale.

Analysis for review with your kids:
Try to take this analysis and make them age-appropiate questions for your children.
Having faith in what you believe regardless of what others around you are saying.
The military scenes in the film are symbols of how discipline and obedience help family harmony, and foster personal development of self-discipline. Later during a dog fight in which Leo was badly hurt, Brendon obeyed the woodcutter to stay back and was protected from harm.
The scary house scenes are symbols for relying on your intuition to confront your fears, especially of the unknown. Brendon used his intuition to face his fear and follow Leo because of his concern and commitment for the dog's welfare.
The dog's name is Leo, for the "Lion" and he shows his courage many times in the story.
When Brendon was asked what he prayed for, he prayed for God to return his Dad home safely. This is an example of a good type of prayer.
Storyland is a symbol of the wonder and mystery of life and for the causal world because ideas are materialized in physical forms and actors. But Storyland is an example of our world and its dual-natured conflict and irrational behavior. Even though Brendon helps to resolve Storyland's conflict between good and evil, he still wants to return to his Mom and the "real" world, just like we want to return to "real" world of God. Brendon is like our soul, struggling to deal with an irrational world, always yearning to get back to a place of peace, love and rationality.
This would be a good discussion topic to help your children understand why the world has so much conflict which never seems to end. It is thru this conflict that we grow into spiritual beings able to return to the higher realms of light, thought and wisdom. That is the purpose of the physical world, to be a school, and the dark forces must always be there to be our "teachers" through the struggle. We can help this world the most by changing ourselves first, and focusing on God through meditation, then radiating God into the world around us.

During the story, the Queen and Prince Arthur both struggle to pull Brendon to their side, just as the dark and light forces of creation exert pulls on our ego which the soul is expressing through.
The Storybook is like a plan of life. When you rely on your intuition, you can discover your own plan to control your life. Queen Evilia was using raw power to try to control her life and others, and eventually fails, as most do when using power without intuition and faith.
The rats are "rats of doubts" knowing away at Brendon's ropes of beliefs. The woodcutter was brave, but also had doubts which had to be addressed before he would take decisive action. The dogs are "Dogs of Darkness" in which the woodcutter uses torches of the "light of God" to dispel the darkness. The sword is the symbol of finding our purpose in life and commitment to it.
"Only real failures in life are the ones who never try". May have been said by Dad.
In the cave of faith, Brendon was presented 3 questions by the wizard. This is a symbol that we decided to come here to work on certain issues. We will have to resolve those questions before we can "graduate". We will keep drawing chances to resolve these issues until we finally work thru them. This is why we getting the same type problems over and over again.
The last question was: "What is more important: seeing or believing?" Answer: "Being able to see truth is important, but sometimes you have to believe in something even if you can't see it." The wizard went on: "Faith is another word for believing. You can only find the cave of faith if you believe in it. Power comes from the strength of the heart. Faith is power. (Power without faith will corrupt).
Why did the guard free Prince Arthur?: Because he trusted him more than the Queen. That trust had built up over years of the Prince's imprisonment.
The closer Brendon came to solving the mystery of Storyland, the more the Queen threw all of her evil resources at him. Deception was a major tool of the Queen, you have to follow your heart to be aware of it.
Why couldn't Arthur help Brendon find his way home? Because the key was in the sword, just like we each to find our unique key to the mystery of life and the way home for ourselves
The ending unification of Brendon's with his mother was like the ecstatic union we will experience when we return. When Brendon told his mom that "Nothing is impossible if you believe, his Dad returned.
From the ending song:
"Deep inside someone seems to be guiding them".
"Victory goes to those whose hearts are pure"
"If you believe, your dreams will come true, if you believe, there's nothing you can't do".
"The hero will be you"
"In the end, no matter what the story, good will win"

5-0 out of 5 stars A Magical Adventure
This was an excellent movie about a boy, named Brandon who believes his father survived the plane crash when everyone tells him his father is dead. When Brandon and his mother move to the family's old summer house/mansion he discovers a doorway to another world. In this land, Storyland, he finds out that he is "the one" , or the boy who must rescue Prince Arthur and save the country. On this quest he meets many friends and learns many life lessons. To say anymore would ruin the magic of this wonderful movie! ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars SEX DRIVEN SILLY FILM....DOES HAVE SOME LAUGHS!!
THE MISERY BROTHERS is the concoction of writer/director/actor Lorenzo Doumani, and he even uses his actress wife, Brenda. I first came upon them with the well done, if uneven, horror spoof BUG BUSTER.
This really corny and derivative comedy spoofs everything from JFK and Marilyn Monroe to "A Few Good Men" and "The Godfather."
Most of the jokes miss horribly, but there at least a half dozen that really work well. Doumani and veteran character actor Leo Rossi play the Misery brothers, who stand to inherit 200 million dollars from their gangster fathers estate IF they do two things: not get arrested for any felonies for at least a year; and secondly, get married within that year. If they don't the money will go to Rev Scheister's Second Son of Christ church. You know from here what will happen. But it doesn't really matter as the movie is simply a vehicle for over the hill actors to have fun. For example:
ABE VIGODA plays the gangster dad, Don Frito Layleone, head of the huge food chain syndicate.
PAT MORITA appears as Judge Ben E Hana, who serves justice with a variety of culinary weapons.
DR. JOYCE BROTHERS appears at the very end to hear the Misery boys' story. (A previous listener dies during the story).
NELL CARTER shows up as a witness who don't know nuttin.
NORM CROSBY has a field day as the prosecuting attorney who uses most of his words in erroneous context (He's really funny).
ERIK ESTRADA appears as the jail warden who breaks into an Elvis Presley impersonation of the Misery Blues. (His jump suit, however, is red).
LOU FERRIGNO isn't green in this one, but he riotously plays the brothers' servant, chauffeur, cook, etc.
SHERMAN HELMSLEY is the villainous Rev. Scheister, and Don King effigy.
RODDY PIPER appears as a wrestling referee who officiates a tag team match between the brothers and two prostitutes (who later show up unexplainably dead?).
FRANK STALLONE appears as Frank the cop, with as much brain matter as his famous brother's Rocky character.
Musical numbers come out of nowhere, and although one is very funny, the others fall flat.
There are tons of bodacious bosomy babes, none of them with any acting talent, but one cowgirl is hilarious when she tries to execute the boys.
THIS IS DEFINITELY A GUILTY PLEASURE, but it does have enough laughs to entertain you. ... Read more

If you are a down-right fan of one of the actors in the movie, buy it... but don't buy it out of curiousity. Sorry, John.
