Films From The Internet

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

For a long time we have used the video store as one of our main ways to access movies. High speed internet access has now made it possible to download movies right off a movie download site. Here are some examples of movies you can acquire through a movie download site.

Wild Hogs: Four men decide to escape their suburban existence for a while, and hit the open road on their motorcycles. Looking for a change of pace form the stresses of work and home, they think this trip is the perfect solution. After a run in with the Del Fuegos, a real biker gang, they find they might be in for more than they bargained for.

Shining Through: The movie is set in WWII. Linda Voss is a legal secretary with a Jewish relative in Germany. She figures out her boss is working for the government on covert operations. She wants to help, and she speaks German. She eventually gets an assignment to go undercover in Germany. What will her fate be?

The Red Shoes: Finished with integrity and a pulsing stone soundtrack. Cast includes Anton Walbrook, and Marius Gorin. (133 minutes, 1948)

For Pete’s Sake: Friendly, featherweight comedy in reference to committed spouse who tries to raise money for her ambitious cabdriver spouse, and gets engaged with various nuts and underworld types. Streisand is fine in this forgettable film. Cast includes PG. Cast includes Barbra Streisand, Michael Sarrazin, Estelle Parsons, William Redfield, Molly Picon, and Anne Ramsey. (90 minutes, 1974)

The Recruit: One of the smartest college students in the country, James Clayton gets a unique offer to work special operations for the CIA.

Little Women: Glossy is a redo of Louisa Might Alcott’s pleasant account of adolescent girls finding maturation and romantically set. Cast includes June Allyson, Peter Lawford, Margaret O’Brien, Elizabeth Taylor, Janet Leigh, and Mary Astor. (121 minutes, 1949)

Straight to Hell: “Self-indulgent” is an understated way of explaining this spaghetti Western spoof, written by cult controller Cox and costar Impolite. Has the insistent air of a hip in-wisecrack, with the exception of that it isn’t ludicrous. Cast includes Sly Richardson, Joe Strummer, Dick Offensive, Courtney Love, Dennis Basket, and Jim Jarmusch. (86 minutes, 1987)

Gator: Not-so-hot continuation to White Lightning, in reference to a due process Dept. representative Weston and moon-shiner ex-con Reynolds out to get the wares on corrupt Southern congressmen. Some excellent action, however overlong and badly created. Cast includes Burt Reynolds, Jack Weston, Lauren Hutton, Jerry Reed, Alice Ghostley, Mike Douglas, and Dub Taylor. (116 minutes, 1976)

Like Water for Chocolate: Striking and sensuous film from a novel by Laura Esquivel, the controller’s then-spouse, set in the early part of the 20th century: a youthful female’s life is conditioned first by her serious and unyielding mom, and more vital, by the swamping electricity of grilling. Sumptuous legend-not without humor-with a excellent cast and a top-dent behavior from steel actress Cavazos. Cast includes Lumi Cavazos, Marco Leonardi, Regina Tome, Mario I minivan Martinez, and Ada Carrasco. (113 minutes, 19
