VHS : White Dwarf
I first saw this movie in a sci-fi class during college and loved it. Sad that it wasn't picked up by the TV studios. I would love to see/buy it again but it only seems available in VHS. Hoping that a DVD version might be released soon?

VHS : Through the Eyes of a Killer
Saw this to find out what RDA did before Stargate. It's OK, but it could have been much better. The actors are held back by a mushy story--not so much intriguing as confusing--a clumsy, generic script, and dirt-cheap production values.
RDA's character should have ben developed more. Is he an obsessed lover who went bad, or a bona-fide nut? If he's nuts, was he nuts from the start, or did the house do it to him?
Oh, and the ending? Good, lord, what was that? "Woops, out of film...Eh, we'll just end it here, what the hell."
A lot of interesting things could have been done here, but they weren't.
File this under "RDA pays his dues."

The details and attitudes of this film are quite accurate. I have had the pleasure of working with two atom bomb "test subjects", two of over 235,000 soldiers deliberately exposed to radiation of atom bomb testing in the past decade. Their plight is harsh - cancers, breakdown of soft tissue, every case has resemblence to the next. Still, the US government denies wrongdoing and danger to the soldiers of that draft era.

VHS : The Last Days of Frankie the Fly
I initially rented this movie because Kiefer Sutherland is in it, and I am a big Kiefer Sutherland fan. I was pleasantly surprised by the appearances of Michael Madsen and Dennis Hopper.

While, the acting, I thought, was good, it was the screenplay/storyline that wasn't. I can feel this build up, but the movie never climaxed for me. It just built me up and then didn't really go anywhere with it.

I don't blame the actors for this, as I think everyone really was good, it was just wasn't done as well as it could have been.

VHS : Mob Justice
MOB JUSTICE (1991, TV) also known as "The Race for Gus Farace" is a
brainy, tense, stress, panic, and claustrophobic - inducing film,
concerning the blowback from law enforcement for the shooting of one
of their undercover DEA agents in a failed sting operation.

Perhaps the ambition of this picture was too diminutive, as its lack
of widescreen, and audio simplicity and repetitiveness as heard in
the soundtrack needlessly makes the final product lose points. A bit
more effort and money would have resulted in a more world-class
movie.

Another weakness, is that more could have been done in the humor
department, and in the development of the personal relationships of
the protagonists. Also, more random outcomes are lacking vs the ... Read More

This movie should not be viewed with the idea of a serious western. I did, but it didn't take but about 5 minutes to see this was a comedy with a western flavor. Others have given the general story of the movie so I will comment on the actors. I thought they all preformed well and made it a fun watch for the evening without taxing my brain. This was from a VHS tape and was very good color wise and clear viewing. I would recomend this for a fun evening. A little gory and some swearing so parents check it out before letting young children watch.

Dean Youngblood (Rob Lowe) may be the fastest skater on the ice, but when he is awarded a place on a junior-league ice-hockey team, he soon comes to realize that success at hockey isn't just about skill, it's also about being able to beat the c**p out of the opposition.

I do not like playing sports, I do not like watching sports and generally, I do not like watching movies about sports. However, "Youngblood" is one of my favourite movies of all time. I saw this movie because I am a huge fan of Rob Lowe and I surprised myself by actually enjoying it. I'm not sure if this film is meant to be a comedy or not, but I found this film to be absolutely hilarious in a so-bad-it's-funny kind of way, in particular all the scenes on the ice. This is not so much a film about people playing hockey, but a film about grown ... Read More
