Some film reviews are listed below. To find movie downloads do a search. You should try two or three searches, with terms like, "Downloadable Movie Clips", "Online Video Rental", and "Top DVD Movie Rentals".

Strange Behavior: This shocker in regards to a grisly murder in a tiny Midwestern town (shot in New Zealand!) received inexplicably excellent reviews in numerous places. You wonder what all the excitement was in reference to. Cast includes Michael Murphy, Louise Fletcher, Dan Shore, Fiona Lewis, Arthur Dignam, Scott Brady, and Charles Aisle. (98 minutes, 1981)

The Stalking Moon: An army scout helps a white female who has lived with the Apaches flee from the Indians with her half breed child. Then the boy's Indian dad comes after them. The film is a convincing and fascinating Western that is both smooth and boring. Cast includes Gregory Peck, Eva Marie Savior, Robert Forster, Noland Clay, Russell Thorson, and Frank Silvera. (109 minutes, 1969)

A Face in the Rain: The movie is a tense melodrama with Calhoun as a U.S. espionage agent being concealed in Italy by a local anti-Nazi who's the mistress of a German officer. This is a WW2 drama. Cast includes Rory Calhoun, Marina Berti, Niall MacGinnis, and Massimo Giuliani. (91 minutes, 1963)

Straight Out of Brooklyn: The story of a black family's going nowhere existence in the ghettos of Brooklyn, N.Y., and the oldest son's plan to rob a local drug dealer to turn things around for the family. Cast includes George T. Odom, Ann D. Sanders, Lawrence Gilliard, Jr., Barbara Sanon, Reana E. Drummond, and Mark Malone. (91 minutes, 1991)

The Plough and the Stars: This is a boring, theatrical style film of a Sean O'Casey play with Foster as Irish a revolutionary leader and Stanwyck as his long-agonizing spouse who prays for his life. Cast includes Barbara Stanwyck, Preston Foster, Barry Fitzgerald, Una O'Connor, Bonita Granville, and Arthur Guards. (78 minutes, 1936)

Slave Girls: The all too glamorous Andress is seized by locals and painted in arrangement for sacrifice in a scene essentially equivalent to that prompted by ex-spouse John Derek for current spouse Bo years later in Tarzan, The Ape Man. Cast includes Ursula Andress, Stacy Keach, Claudio Cassinelli, Antonio Marsina, and Franco Fantasia. (93 minutes, 1978)

A Life less Ordinary: This is a black comedy in regards to a janitor who abducts his ex-supervisor's little girl, a ruined heiress who finds life a bore. In the mean time, 2 ambassadors from heaven (Hunter and Lindo) have to find a way to make these 2 fated souls fall in love. Cast includes Ewan McGregor, Cameron Diaz, Holly Hunter, Delroy Lindo, Ian Holm, Ian McNeice, Stanley Tucci, Dan Hedaya, Tony Shalhoub, Maury Chaykin, and Judith Ivey. (103 minutes, 1997)

Metropolis: A classic silent film fantasy of a futuristic city and its mechanized civilization, with an upper class young man leaving behind his life of luxury to join overpowered employees in revolt. Cast includes Brigitte Helm, Alfred Abel, Gustav Froelich, Rudolf Klein-Rogge, and Fritz Rasp. (124 minutes, 1927)

Alfredo Alfredo: An all too normal Italian comedy in regards to a milquetoast who triumphs and weds a seductive female, only to regret the conquest. The lone interest is recognizing Hoffman's good work in this uncommon setting (with a dubbed voice!). Cast includes Dustin Hoffman, Stefania Sandrelli, Carla Gravina, Clara Colosimo, Daniele Patella, and Duilio Del Prete. (98 minutes, 1972)

I hope you enjoyed the reviews. Internet searches like "Free Online Movie Streaming" and "Music Videos To Download" will help you find film download sites. Add "DVD Rental Movies" to the list if the other searches don't work for you. - 29943
