What if they remade A Christmas Story, except with more pratfalls? Lots more pratfalls. And meaner humor. With Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Randy Quaid; directed by Jeremiah Chechik.
What a feeling! Something between amused exasperation and outright derision. A graphic document, in any case, of what life is not like for a female welder in a Pittsburgh steel mill who works nights as a beer-hall dancer and who would really rather be a ballerina. With Jennifer Beals; directed …

Much fun, when not trying extra-extra hard also to be funny. A bit like a Barbarella on a much bigger budget. It's a cruel fact of fantasy that money counts for more in this sort of endeavor than in most others, and Dino De Laurentiis, who controlled the purse strings …
Uningenious, straight-ahead, pedestrian account of a true story of David and Goliath, the man who patented the intermittent windshield wiper (or as he called it, the Blinking-Eye Wiper) versus the Ford Motor Company, who took his invention without compensation. Also a story of obsession: he neglects his teaching job; his …
Potboiler whose pot contains a thin but exceedingly cloudy soup. Two Texas border patrollers unearth a jeep, a skeleton, a high-powered rifle, and $800,000. They trace the money back to Dallas, 1963, but can find no record of a robbery thereabouts in the newspaper archives. Of course, there was the …
Worlds collide when the Flash uses his superpowers to travel back in time to change the events of the past. However, when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, he becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation.
While sifting through the remains of his recently deceased grandmother’s apartment in Tel Aviv, Arnon Goldfinger came across documentation linking his grandparents - both refugees from Hitler’s Germany — with high-ranking Nazi minister Baron Leopold von Mildenstein. He then decided to turn his findings into a feature-length documentary. Instead of …
Niels Arden Oplev directs a sequel to the 1990 thriller about scientists who experiment with being dead.
Mad-doctor stuff (or mad-med-student, rather) about laboratory-controlled beyond-and-back experiments, to unlock "the secret of death." (Death, we find, is pleasant enough, no more painful than a Stan Brakhage underground movie, till you have to confront past sins and think about atonement.) The medical school and hospital is altogether a pretty …
Arabic language movie about a fashion designer who loves beauty, relates to beautiful girls, and hopes to establish romantic relationships with them. When he undergoes a new psychotherapy technique, hoping to overcome his fear of commitment, he realizes there may not be a perfect bride with zero flaws. But there …
Run-of-the-mill chase film about two fugitives from a Georgia chain gang (black and white, fettered together very remotely like The Defiant Ones), dodging not just local authorities but Cuban mafiosi and a corrupt fed. Played with more commitment than warranted by Laurence Fishburne and Stephen Baldwin, and most of all …
