1.The Package starring: Gene Hackman, Tommy Lee Jones, Joanna Cassidy, John Heard, Dennis Franz
directed by: Andrew Davis
November 11, 1998
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : The Package
Why did it seem like Tommy Lee Jones was doing his 'Strannix thing" from "Under Siege" in this movie? The plot winds into predictable end that makes you say "Where have I seen this before?" The movie seemed like a ripoff of so many other political/assassination-type flicks I've seen before. Not many surprises (if any) in this movie.

2.Final Terror starring: John Friedrich, Adrian Zmed, Ernest Harden Jr., Lewis Smith, Rachel Ward
directed by: Andrew Davis
March 15, 1989
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Final Terror
This is a worthwhile movie to view, if only for the presence of soon to be famous actors. Joe Pantoliano, Rachel Ward, Daryl Hannah,and Mark Metcalf (Seinfeld's The Maestro) star in this sometimes brilliant slasher epic. While the gore is not plentiful, the mood is effective. If you love horror that plays on isolation watch this movie. Gore hounds might be disappointed.

3.Holes starring: Shia LaBeouf, Sigourney Weaver, Jon Voight, Tim Blake Nelson, Khleo Thomas

VHS : Holes
I read this book often with my students. It's extremelely well written and engaging for children. When the movie first came out, I cautioned my students that they may be disappointed in the way the book has been translated to the big screen. Much to my surprise, the movie is great!

4.The Fugitive (1993) starring: Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Sela Ward, Julianne Moore, Joe Pantoliano

VHS : The Fugitive (1993)
This is a great movie with action, drama and mystery as Richard Kimbal (Ford) escapes from legal custody and must figure out not only who has stolen his life, but why.

The action and direction are very well done here, but the real achievement is the characterization. The people inhabiting this world feel real and identifiable. We understand the reasoning behind their actions, "good" or "bad". If that were not the case (as in the sequel, "U.S. Marshals") we couldn't care what happened.

Ford is perfect. He is appropriately intense and sympathetic.
Jones is excellent. Appropriately acerbic, sarcastic and caring.
Jones' team of marshals is perfect. The characters are distinct and fleshed out. No unnecessary redundancies in characterization.

One satisfying ... Read More

5.Under Siege starring: Steven Seagal, Gary Busey, Tommy Lee Jones, Erika Eleniak, Colm Meaney

VHS : Under Siege
This movie is from the brief period at Warner Brothers when Steven Seagal had decent budgets and good co-stars. This is an obvious ripoff of Die Hard, with Seagal in the Bruce Willis role, Tommy Lee Jones in the Alan Rickman role, and a battleship substituting for an office building. There is an inherent appeal in these movies as the badly outnumbered hero gradually knocks off the bad guys before finally confronting the head villain. Of course, Seagal can't really act, but that's not actually required here. Ex-Playboy playmate Erika Eleniak contributes a brief -- but formidable -- nude scene. (It's interesting that Erika manages to make it through all the slam bang action without breaking even one of her inch-long red fingernails.) All in all, a great popcorn movie for those who like non-stop action (with, ... Read More

VHS : A Perfect Murder
As far as thrillers go, this is my favorite kind. I loved the story of an unhappy wife having an affair and the husband who decides to pay her lover off by having him kill her so he can collect all the money she's worth which is a lot. There are many twists and turns and things don't quite go as expected which just makes it all the more interesting and exciting. Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow are both actors I truly enjoy so they make the film all the better. And Gwyneth looks as beautiful as ever here. I have not seen Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder, but I read the producers felt like there were many areas to explore with this type of story that wasn't explored in Dial M. I also love how the Emily character was portrayed as a strong, smart woman who longs for happiness but unfortunately is not as smart when it comes ... Read More

This film is one of the greats. Andy Garcia is just terrific. It has all the sensibilitys that more films need.. The cast is superb and Alan Arkin especially shines as is right on in his role of Lou.
God Bless you Andy!

directed by: Andrew Davis

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

VHS : Code of Silence
Terrific action film with a little more depth than usual Norris flick. This film was scripted by the same team who gave the "classic" THE CAR and was originally intended for Clint Eastwood (who passed on it). Chuck does a pretty good job as Eddie Cussack. CODE OF SILENCE refers not just to the mobsters but the cops as well. Maybe the assault machine at the end is a little much, but I give a high five. Solid performances from Henry Silva, Dennis Farrino and Bert Remsen. Recommended to one and all.

I always loved steven seagal and will always love his features. People don't understand that 8 blackbelts isn't an easy feat. I love his realism but have a lukeworm reception to his method acting. I recomend this DVD to everyone who likes Aikido and Mr. Steven
