8 Charmed Video Commentary For Your Entertainment Recreation
Whenever a Hollywood movie is made the goal is to create a film that the public loves and that will become a epic hit. Take a wonderful story, throw in a couple of good actors along with some special effects and voila’, a huge box office success. But it doesn’t always happen that way. Sometimes a film will include everything that you think might make it a success and it still fails at the box office. There is no such thing as a sure thing in Hollywood.
Across llOth Street – Barry Shear handled the directing for this movie. Three black men, disguised as cops have robbed the mob bank out of over $250,000. Now the cops and the mob are in a pursuit to entrap the thieves, and recover the money. The actors include Anthony Quinn, Yaphet Kotto, Anthony Franciosa, Richard Ward, and Paul Benjannin. (1972 Crime-Drama)
All About My Mother – While a lady loses her kid, she returns to Barcelona, renews a buried friendship with a transvestite buddy, who unsuspectingly the youngster’s father. Pedro Almodovar directed this film and it is his most touching movie to date-more deep than most, although not without his trademark wit and differentiated by wonderful behaviors all around. Cast includes Cecilia Roth, Marisa Paredes, Penelope Cruz, Antonia San Juan, Candela Pena, and Eloy Azorin. (101 minutes, 1999)
Suds – Mainly compelling change-of-pace silent film motor vehicle for Pickford as a plain Cockney laundrywoman who lusts for the nobleman who left off a shirt to be cleaned months ago and on no account came back. An amalgamation of wistfulness, smack-tick, and invective does not unconditionally come together. Cast includes Mary Pickford, Albert Austin, Harold Goodwin, Rose Dione, Nadyne Montgomery, and Darwin Karr. (67 minutes, 1920)
Believe in me – Still one more 1970s film that is all about drug problems. Working gal Bisset finds herself completely dependant on speed while living in the East Village section of New York City. Cast includes Michael Sarrazin, Jacqueline Bisset, Jon Cypher, Allen Garfield, and Kurt Dodenhoff. (90 minutes, 1971)
Cry the Beloved Country – Moving redo of the 1951 film based on Alan Paton’s rejoiced story, in reference to a backwoods pastor (Jones) who, in 1946, makes his first ever trip to the city of Johannesburg in search of his errant child. At the same time prosperous landowner Harris voyages there to claim the body of his child, who has just been murdered. We see extraordinary work by Jones, Harris, and a largely foreign cast. Not as understated as the first making, however powerful in its own way. Cast includes Richard Harris, James Earl Jones, Charles S. Dutton, and Vusi Kunene. (120 minutes, 1995)
Kimberley Jim – Little musical of 2 carefree gamblers who win a fortune in a fixed poker game, and then have a change of heart. Cast includes Jim Reeves, Madeleine Guide, Clive Pamell, Arthur Swemmer, and Mike Holt. (82 minutes, 1965)
Fantasies – Substandard hogwash in regards to Derek’s and Hooten’s attempts to turn a Greek island into a tourist trap. Shot in 1973, while Bo was sixteen. Cast includes Bo Derek, Peter Hooten, Anna Alexiadis, Phaedon Gheorghitis, and Therese Bohlin. (81 minutes, 1981)
Lantana – Touching, adult premise of relationships obstructed by monotony, routine, and absence of articulation. LaPaglia plays a cop, whose marriage has stagnated, leading him to have an affair. In the mean time, he examines the disappearance of a lady whose own marriage is in danger. The film is beautifully nuanced at every turn. Cast includes Anthony LaLaglia, Geoffrey Hurry, Barbara Hershey, Kerry Armstrong, Rachael Blake, Vince Colosimo, Daniela Farinacci, and Peter Phelps. (121 minutes, 2001)
