Browsing For A Fantastic Movie? Check Out These Good Movie Commentaries

By Elden Bruce

Each Hollywood producer has one aim in mind when they make a film. They want to put out a movie that is a huge hit that the public loves. A excellent plot, some brilliant actors along with a few special effects and there you have the formula for a tremendous box-office success. Or do you? Sometimes a film will have all of the supposed necessary components and it will still not succeed at the box office. There are no guaranteed recipes to make a Hollywood epic.

Rude Boy - Enraged young rebel Gange is employed by the rock group The Conflict as a roadie. The film is an argumentative, practical, documentary-like personality exploration with exceptional footage. Rock fans will not be disillusioned, others take heed. Cast includes David Mingay, The Conflict, Ray Gange, John Green, Barry Baker, Terry McQuade, and Caroline Coon. (133 minutes,'80)

Fantasies - Substandard hogwash in regards to Derek's and Hooten's attempts to turn a Greek island into a tourist trap. Shot in'73, while Bo was sixteen. Cast includes Bo Derek, Peter Hooten, Anna Alexiadis, Phaedon Gheorghitis, and Therese Bohlin. (81 minutes,'81)

Cry the Beloved Country - Moving redo of the'51 film based on Alan Paton's beloved story, in reference to a backwoods pastor (Jones) who, in'46, makes his first ever trip to the city of Johannesburg in search of his wayward child. At the same time well-to-do landowner Harris voyages there to claim the body of his child, who has just been murdered. We see unparalleled 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,'95)

Scandalous - Featherbrained facade in regards to investigative Television journalist who runs afoul of a team of con artists as he tries to extricate himself from a homicide charge. Cast includes Robert Hays, John Giegud, Pamela Stephenson, and Jim Dale. (94 minutes,'84)

Slaughter's Big Ripoff - A murderer is still playing games with the Mafia in this dull action film. McMahon gives more effort to his role as the mafia boss than it is worth. Cast includes Jim Brown, Ed McMahon, Brock Peters, Don Stroud, Gloria Hendry, Dick Anthony Williams, and Art Metrano. (93 minutes,'73)
