Customer Review: A UNDERRATED SEQUEL
The Fly series is a remarkable one that makes sense,if a scientist actually had a teleportation pod or some type of machine this is the way it would happen n real life.The movies are jam packed with great acting,action,effects,superb horror and excellent gore. Both movies are very unpredictable and very scary and both films follow right after the other and both main cast in The Fly/Fly II have love interests(Fly I,Goldblum and Davis,Fly II,Stotlz and Zuniga)which is pretty cool.All in all The Fly series is a fantastic series of the 80s(which was a great decade I might add).In MY opinion there will never be movies like this again,they are classics,a real thrilling horror series.When the last time you got scared of a movie???Heres a tip: DON’T WATCH THEM IN THE DARK!!! The Fly part 2 has a great beginning much like its predecessor with a great promo.You get to know Seth’s(Goldblum in Fly 1)son Martin(Stoltz) as he goes on with life much faster than everyone else.You feel sorry for him as well much like Goldblum in the first movie.You also feel sorry for Beth (Zuniga) as she trys to help martin.Yes its true Strathis (Getz)reprises his roleThere are lots of doctors and security guards you just hate because of what they do to martin.Once martin evolves into the Fly,all hell breaks loose.You never know what is going to happen next.This is really one heck of monster movie and you won’t believe what you’ll see!By the way,listen to music score by Christopher Young,it really makes this movie even better.When you here the main title theme you think holytoledo,this is really gonna be good and you know what?It is, I suggest you buy buy the score,you’ll love it!The film is great,like the other a bit sad but very good. The Fly II is an excellent horror movie! The acting by Eric Stoltz was really good! The part with the dog was sad but you can tell its animatronic. The real horror begins when Martin discovers the camera in his room! His transformation is really gruesome. I think the fly monster is one of the most terrifying monsters ever! I just love the score by Christopher Young! The music is beautiful, dark, and aggressive! My favorite part is the main titles! It is one of the greatest songs ever composed in My opinion! I liked in the main title how the credit says the Fly II in nice and bright blue letters! The Fly II is My favorite of the Fly movies and even though Jeff Goldblum acted superbly in the first, the sequel has some big time moments! Speaking of Goldblum, he has two archive footage scenes in the film! Some of today’s horror movie are very good but there hasn’t been a movie like the Fly II since it came out. In My opinion, if your looking for a great horror movie then this is it! Horror movies just ain’t made like this often! As you know I love the music and in fact I adore the score to the Fly II! There is a special edition CD of the score. It contains the score of the Fly and the Fly II! If you are a fan of the scores I recommend that you get it! It is well worth the buy!
Customer Review: Not so !
I felt this sequel put the Fly story beutifully to bed. With yet again an exquisite soundtrack the movie captures horror, love, pain and justice.

The Jewel Of The Nile [1986]

Customer Review: Boring!
This film had a terrible plot, bad acting, very mild jokes and not almost enough action. This was rather stupid and more of a comedy. I have not seen Romancing the Stone but i’ve heard that it’s a lot better. This was a corny film. I was digusted in the movie where he says “I love you, lady!” It was the worst sentence in history.
Customer Review: Good Sequel, but Not a Contender
“Jewel of the Nile” is the sequel to “Romancing the Stone” and reunites Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and Danny DeVito in another adventure involving treasure, mystery, and danger in a foreign land. It feels very much like a sequel, as in, “This all worked the first time, so let’s do it again.” The result is a somewhat formulaic and predictable film, with less magic. Without it’s predecessor, viewers would be confused about what was going on with the characters. But, without it’s predecessor, it would have stood out more. Or, it might have flopped. A definite case of sequelitis, but a much milder case than the awful “Jurassic Park: The Lost World” which completely went awry, in my opinion. All that said, “Jewel of the Nile” is still an above-average, fast-paced action/adventure film with enough of a plot and enough good acting to make it worth watching. It has an exotic setting, a good, if not memorable, musical score, and plenty of action. “Romancing the Stone” is a keeper; this one is a good rental (or to buy a used one cheap.

Customer Review: OVERRATED BUT STILL GOOD
After making a daring escape from a military base, a group of robbers, Corbin, (Ted Vernon) Curry, (Michael David Sims) Roxanne, (Kristina Sanborn) Al, (David James Campbell) and Bert, (B.J. Turner) lose their money in a cornfield, and after dealing with a traitor in their ranks, the group comes upon a small, abandoned house on the grounds. Thinking it’s the perfect place to regroup, they hole up and decide on a plan of action. After trying to make an escape, they find the scarecrows in the field are alive and hinting them down one by one. The Good News: This actually wasn’t as bad as I thought. One of the best things about this film is that it conjures up an effective and genuinely creepy atmosphere. The mystery surrounding the scarecrows is absolutely creepy, as they look just right and the aura created from them is remarkable. So much is derived from them and their look that they literally carry the film in the beginning. The biggest example of this is the first romp through the stalks. It’s a very long, drawn out sequence built around the faces and suspense from the scarecrows. A lot of it’s success is based on the scarecrows. It’s also pretty gory for what it is, and there’s some nice blood-splatter. The kills are nice and brutal as well, and feature a good dose of blood. There’s a hacksaw used to cut off a hand, a sickle repeatedly stabbed into the leg, and several stabbings. A gag with a bag up in a tree and the fact that every murder always features a graphic dissection doesn’t hurt it either. It’s simplistic story is also a big plus, keeping it upbeat along the way and putting all the focus where it should be. The Bad News: There’s several things in here that didn’t really sit all that well. First, and most aggravating was that the majority of conversations were held over headsets, and often times made it seem like no one on-screen was actually speaking. It’s incredibly irritating and makes it completely disjointed. This makes it worse as it’s during the best part of the film. There’s also an uncut version around that is far gorier than what is given, which seems believable as what’s on display is kinda choppy at times and looks like it was edited. But outside of a few other very small nit-picks, this wasn’t all that bad. Not great, but not bad. The Final Verdict: A little bit undeserving of it’s status as a cult classic, but it’s still a genuine creepy, features a memorable villain, and has some great moments spread throughout. There is some merit to it, though, so give it a chance. It’s fast enough that it won’t hurt much.

The 1956 screen adaptation of Carousel, like its immediate predecessor Oklahoma!, boasted then state-of-the-art widescreen cinematography, stereophonic sound, a starring romantic duo with on-screen chemistry, and the Rodgers & Hammerstein imprimatur. Adding to its promise was a source (the venerable Ferenc Molnar play Liliom) that had already been filmed three times. Contributing to the lustre are the coastal Maine locations where 20th Century Fox filmed principal photography. Yet unlike the original Broadway production, and despite evident craft, Carousel proved a box-office disappointment. Why? Hindsight argues that movie-goers of the 1950s may have been unprepared for its tragic narrative, the sometimes unsympathetic protagonist, and a spiritual subtext addressing life after death.

Whatever the obstacle, Carousel may well be a revelation to first-time viewers. The score is among the composers’ most affecting, from the glorious instrumental “Carousel Waltz” to a succession of exquisite love songs (”If I Loved You”), a heart-rending secular hymn (”You’ll Never Walk Alone”), and the expectant father’s poignant reverie, “Soliloquy”. Top-line stars Shirley Jones (as factory worker Julie Jordan) and Gordon MacRae (as Billy Bigelow, the carnival barker who woos and weds her) achieve greater dramatic urgency here than in the more successful Oklahoma!. MacRae in particular attains a personal best as the conflicted Billy, whose anxiety and wounded pride after losing his job are crucial to the plot. It’s Billy’s impatience to support his new family that drives him to an ill-fated decision, which transforms the fable into a ghost story. –Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com

Customer Review: Well worth going to the Carousel
Regarded by many as the best Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, it still manages to pack a punch after all these years. Most people will probably already be familiar with the hymn-like standard ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, but there are plenty of other gems here that are worth tuning in for. Fans of Frank Sinatra may recognise Billy’s ‘Soliloquy’. The scene on the beach where Gordon McRae belts it out is now a movie musicals’ classic. My personal favourite is the beautifully tender duet ‘If I Loved You’, a song so loaded with the promise of romance and deeply felt regret all at the same time - surely (or Shirley??) one of the best love songs in any Broadway repertoire. Another of the musical’s high points comes with the opening ‘Carousel Waltz’ itself, an instrumental piece that perfectly captures the very mood of a funfair and is probably one of Rodgers’ finest compositions. It won’t leave your head for days! While the camerawork may look a bit dated now, the story is still relevant and quite moving. Both of the leads (Gordon McRae and Shirley Jones) are well cast and the singing is excellent. Exquisite stuff indeed.
Customer Review: A Timeless Musical Masterpiece
Undoubtedly the most touching and beautifully written of Rogers and Hammerstein's movie-musicals, this film is in turns lightheartedly funny and tear-jerkingly sad. Featuring classic songs “June is Busting Out All Over”, “If I Loved You” and “You'll Never Walk Alone” and the undisputed talent of Shirley Jones and Gordon McRae, this film will leave you with tears streaming down your face long after the credits.

Customer Review: MODERATELY ENTERTAINING, IF IN THE RIGHT MOOD
In the town of Castle Rock, Sheriff Alan Pangborn, (Ed Harris) decides to investigate the opening of a new shop in town run by Leland Gaunt, (Max Von Sydow) called Needful Things. Taking time out first to propose to girlfriend Polly, (Bonnie Bedelia) a local diner waitress, he goes over to see what he’s selling. Simply selling odd things, he’s allowed to stay as he asks merely of favors for later. As more and more townspeople visit the shop, the more they each get aggravated with each other over a series of pranks and practical jokes they are pulling on each other. When everyone in town is ready to kill each other, the remaining ones start to discover the startling secret that has haunted the town. Gathering up the clues and solving the mystery, they head out to stop the deadly force contaminating the town once and for all. The Good News: Frankly, there isn’t a whole lot to commend about this film. All of it’s good points come from the final third, where the film lets loose and really goes all out. There’s just an endless stream of exciting action going on that there’s just pure joy as the result. When a full-on riot in the streets, complete with random fistfights from the extras in the background, looting, vandalism and more going on, this one really gets going in the best sense. Couple that in with the realization of what’s been going on, some really bloody deaths and some huge explosions that do a ton of damage, this one can’t get any better than it does in these segments. That it blows up nearly the entire town in this segment is a testament to it, really taking it’s time and drawing it out in a grand sense to give it the illusion of Hell on Earth, which is exactly what’s at sake. That it decides to drop the really lame subplot about the pranks, yet still manages to include them, is a nice move and ties things together nicely. Overall, this is watchable only for this section, and it alone holds the film above water. The Bad News: This is an incredibly boring film. The fact that the majority of time is spent with absolutely nothing going on other than the residents of the town. There’s no scares in this section of the film as we get seemingly endless scenes of the citizens going to the store and receiving gifts from there. This pretty much is repeated for just about every citizen in town, and with only very few differences with how they come into contact with the store, but the overall sense from these scenes is just boredom. Nothing at all happens and the film just takes forever to get going. By being as long as it is brings out that one even more. By spending so much time with the townspeople and staying away from the horror, this has the ability to really drain the life out of the film and really bring it down. There was too much time spent here and not on the much more lively and interesting second half, which is where all the good stuff is, and that leaves the beginning with a ton of areas to get through before which is just plain boring. The last main flaw with this is that it’s just not all that scary. The central premise isn’t anywhere near being scary and doesn’t offer the chance for anything at all to happen because of the fact that this produces nothing in the way of scares, nor has the ability to do so. That, almost as much as the really slow plotting really doom this one. The Final Verdict: Basically watchable only for one section of the film, this one is a tough sell. While King fans might get some enjoyment out of it, the slow beginning and uneventful nature, until the ending, will really tax the more liberal viewers out there. Take this one as with your feelings on King, a fan should give it a watch while non-fans should heed caution.
Customer Review: Amazing
The devil in disguise comes to a quiet, peaceful town and opens a store called Needful Things. The store has an item for everyone in town. All the devil asks for in return is a few dirty pranks. Little do they know, that they’ve sold their souls, and the pranks escalate to murder Wow! this film was really good. Not all Stephen King films are scary but this one is pretty creepy. I would recommend this to anyone that likes horrors and thrillers.
