A Few Quick Motion Picture Summaries

By Daryl Raymond

In the past you had to go to a store if you wanted to rent or buy a movie. The next generation it seems will be getting their movies from movie downloads, avoiding any trips to the store. You can get virtually any movie you want with a good movie download site. Here are some examples.

Lara Croft Tomb Raider, The Cradle of Life: Pouting and pillaging in a assortment of exposing outfits, Jolie returns as the video-game adventuress who teams up with her gloomy ex in a race to find Pandora's Box before it falls into the hands of an wicked scientist who desires to harness its current to develop biological weapons. Astonishingly inept and interminable continuation gives new meaning to the word "uninteresting." Cast includes Angelina Jolie, Gerard Butler, Noah Taylor, Christopher Barrie, and Simon Ya. (117 minutes, 2003)

The Cry Baby Killer: Nicholson's film debut is a Roger Corman quickie in which we find a youth offender who worries while he imagines he's committed a murder. A curious piece at best with the writer Leo Gordon and director Corman himself playing small roles. Cast includes Harry Lauter, Jack Nicholson, Carolyn Mitchell, Brett Halsey, Lynn Cartwright, and Ed Nelson. (62 minutes, 1958)

Absolute Power: Alan Richman, the President of the United States, gets a little too rough with Christy, the lady he is having an affair with. When she grabs a letter opener and fights back, she is shot dead by two secret service agents. A burglar was in the house and witnessed the whole event. He gets away, and takes the letter opener as evidence of what really happened. Now he is on the run, as the people in power want to take down the only man that can expose the truth.

Urban Legend: Urban legends are coming into reality on the campus of Pendlelton College. One by one students are dying, each to a different legend. Are theses urban legends real, or is someone playing a nasty joke on us?

The War Of The Roses: Oliver and Barbara Rose are both fed up. They can't stand each other any more, and both agree to a divorce. The problem is that neither is willing to leave the house.

Lili Marleen: Second rate bender in reference to third-rate cabaret singer Schygulla, whose carbon copying of the title melody gets to be a hit in Nazi Germany. Captivating subject matter is pretentiously addressed. Cast includes Hanna Schygulla, Giancarlo Giannini, Mel Ferrer, Karl Heinz von Hassel, Christine Kaufmann, Hark Bohrn, Karin Baal, and Udo Kier. (120 minutes, 1981)

The Music Lovers: Sporadically striking although self-indulgent and truthfully awkward account of Tchaikovsky Chamberlain, who weds and drops the whorish Nina Jackson. Overacted, over-directed. Cast includes Glenda Jackson, Richard Chamberlain, Max Adrian, Christopher Gable, and Kenneth' Colley. (122 minutes, 1975)

The Big Squeeze: Boyle works in a bar to aid her harmed ballplayer spouse Bercovicithen and comprehends he's neglected to notify her of a $130,000 settlement he's acquired, so she registers a drifter-hustler a miscast Dobson to get the money. Cast includes Lara Flynn Boyle, Peter Dobson, Danny Nucci, Luca Bercovici, Teresa Despina, and Michael Chieffo. (98 minutes, 1996)

The Count Of Monte Cristo: Edward and Fernand are sailors hoping to become captains of their own ships in the French Navy in the post Napoleon era. When Edward gets his captaincy, and Mercedes, a girl they both covet, agrees to marry him, Fernand becomes very jealous. He gives authorities some evidence that is incriminating to Edward. In spite of his innocence of any crime he is committed to prison for over a decade. He then escapes prison to go on to an adventurous future.

Okay, if your looking for downloads, try phrases like "Online Kids Movies". If the first search proves ineffective type in something different. Try something different like "Movie Sharing".
