When you get lost between the moon and New York City (ahem), chances are you'll find yourself taking another look at this hit comedy starring Oscar-nominated Dudley Moore as the charmingly witty, perpetually drunken millionaire Arthur Bach. Arthur falls in love with a waitress (Liza Minelli) who doesn't care about his money, but unfortunately Arthur's stern father wants him to marry a Waspy prima donna. The young lush turns to his wise and loyal butler (Oscar-winner John Gielgud) for assistance and advice. Arthur was a huge hit when released in 1981, as was its Oscar-winning theme song by Christopher Cross. Few remember that the movie was, sadly, the only one ever ...
A good movie, 2010-01-24
I usually don't get funny movies, but this one just hit the spot. It was funny, and moving. I like Duddly Moore, and he did a great job of it. I do recommend this movie if you want to laugh, cry, and just feel good.

Sam's the man, 2010-03-25
Just found the DVD of this upstairs in my stash...watched it and it brought back some fond memories of those times in the 70's....and introduced us to Sam THE MAN Elliott...clearly the sexiest man alive....forget Pitt, Clooney (or Gibson in his day).....they have NOTHING on this guy. That voice, that hair, that bod....WHATTA GUY!!!
He has a special quality about him... totally believable in this role and any others that he has taken on throughout his career....Mask, The Contender, all those westerns...
I used to have a practice in Malibu and my nurse and I were having lunch at one the main places near the "Colony" when she mentioned she thought she saw him walk into a flower shop. We were there in a flash, just listening to that voice ask about some flowers, undoubtedly for his lovely wife. Made my week!
Someone wrote earlier that Katharine Ross is one lucky lady....totally agree.

 World War ll anthology, 2007-07-11
Here are three World War II stories set twords the end of the war, and told from the Axis perspective (though the second story actually shows things from both the American and Japanese perspective).
The first tale is about the Eurpean war. It is set in August of 1944, and the protagonist Luffwaffe pilot Erhart Von Leinders. He is given a mission that, if successful, could turn the war back in Germany's favor. He is to fly a special prototype fighter and act as escort for a captured B-17, now bearing the German cross and swastika, to Berlin. It is carrying top-secret cargo, and also on board are Leinders' old friend, the scientist Professor Baffstein and Baffstein's daughter and Leinders' old flame Marlena. Just before take off, Marlena reveals to Leinders what they'll be transporting: the world's first A-bomb, which after being delivered will be launched by V-1 rocket to one of the three capitals of the Allied countries. Leinders is shocked and horrified that they'll be using such a destructive weapon, and while on route to Berlin when they encounter three British Spitfires he must make a decision: does he fullfill his mission and shoot the Spitfires down before they can destroy the bomber, or does he allow the enemy craft to shoot the bomber down, even though it will mean the deaths of Marlena and Baffstein and doom Germany to defeat?
(SPOILER WARNING)
Someone criticized this first story for being historically inaccurate, as it has Germany developing the A-bomb before America. However, given that the story ends with the bomber being destroyed in mid-air, this would mean the world would have never found out Germany had ever developed the bomb, so it's easy for me to accept.
The second story is set on the day before and the day during the Hiroshima bombing. An American fleet sits at the shore of Japan and is attacked by the remains of Japan's airforce. A Japanese kamikaze pilot waits to be launched out of a bomber in a rocket plane into the American aircraft carrier. However, the bomber is shot down and the pilot, who was supposed to be the one to die, ironically ends up being the only one to survive. He swims back to shore and returns to base, only to be sent back up in another bomber piloted by another crew to attempt the same mission. We also get to see scenes in the U.S. aircraft carrier where the Americans prepair for the oncoming Japanese.
The final story is about ground troops rather than airmen. Two Japanese infantry men-one middle-aged man and one young boy-are defending one of their home islands that the Americans are taking over. They get into a two-seat motorcycle of the sort that has a cockpit seat attached to the side and ride to home base, even knowing that, most likely, the Americans have probably already taken it over and their mission will probably lead to their deaths.
My one criticisims with this video are the way certain characters act in the first two stories. In the first tale there is a German fighter pilot who is just so surprised and outraged that Hitler would actually use an A-bomb when it's probably the only thing that could turn the tide back in their favor. O.K., let's look at a few things: these are the same rulers who offically declared Jewish people inferior and impure and called for their complete extinction. Every German living in Germany knew full-well about their persecution, of the death camps and the mass execution of helpless, unarmed people, many of them children, guilty of absolutely nothing except being Jewish. Every man who served in the German army at the time knew full well about all that, even those that did not participate directly in it, and they willfully fought and risked life and limb for the Nazi butchers. And the army was participating directly in invading neighboring countries and taking them over by force. So here we have this guy who'd have to at the very least think little enough of the mass-murder of Jews to be willing to turn his back to the holocaust and serve the country that was commiting those atrocities, and he helps fight to take over surrounding countries, yet this same guy when finding out Germany is going to use a newly-developed super-powerful bomb against an enemy capital because it's probably the only chance they have left of winning, suddenly decides that's just going too far, and is torn with indesision when he must decide wether or not to help carry out a mission that, while may mean the deaths of countless innocent lives, is still no worse than the evils he had been willing to ignore or even take part in before.
Then there's the American aircraft carrier captian who, at the end of the story when he's told an A-bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, says,"Monsters. Makes you wonder, are we all insane?" I suppose this was done to make an American character that Japanese audiences would find sympathetic, but again, looking at history, I find this hard to believe. While I suppose it's possible there may have been some Americans who, even during the war, didn't hate all Japanese (even though that was sadly common in a time when open racisim was much more accepted,) we still must look at a few things: Japan had told America back in 1941 they wanted to be our allies, then made a sneak attack at Pearl Harbor, having made no declaration of war. This brought us into a terrible conflict that last nearly four years, a war that was nessissary, but took countless American lives (as well as Japanese) and like any other war left many still alive but with missing limbs and/or psychologically scared. It was a war in which we were fighting for our very freedom, against the threat of a powerful and aggressive enemy. America at the time felt about Japan much the same way we do now about Al-Quida and the Taliban. Our men were fighting heroically to defend our homeland. Twords the end of the war when we fought Japanese on their own home islands they inflicted terrible casulties, well more than half of the American troops who fought against the Japanese ground forces were killed. Then when we were surrounding Japan's home country, their goverment refused to surrender. This is what led to the firebombings and later the nuking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I do believe this was a horrible thing that civilians were massacred, however I also think it was a sad, tragic nessassary. I blame Japan's own goverment at the time, for starting the war and for refusing to surrender even when they'd clearly lost any chance of victory, more than America. It was done so we wouldn't have to do a direct land invasion, which would have led to many more American casualties. You could argue that it would have been insane NOT to use the bomb.
Anyway, this is an excellent anthology and I think it's a shame it still hasn't been released in DVD, I just found some character motivations hard to swollow.

This controversial, 1974 drama exploits urban paranoia and presents vigilantism as cathartic release. But it is also a captivating, Everyman-ish story of a New Yorker who goes through a sea change after crime depletes his family, and who runs afoul of the law while taking it into his own hands. Charles Bronson stars as the vengeance-seeking urban warrior who goes on a punk-killing spree after his wife and daughter are attacked by intruders. Director Michael Winner (The Wicked Lady) shamelessly builds upon audience identification with Bronson's rage, but he also makes an interesting story out of the latter's tug-of-war with disapproving police. It's an unpleasant fi...
A DIRTY SOCKFUL OF QUARTERS, 2010-06-08
When Charles Bronson's wife and daughter are attacked brutally by a gang of thugs-the wife is murdered and the daughter loses her mind, he trolls the bowels of Central Parks tunnels and underpasses seeking slime-balls armed with only a dirty sockful of quarters until a sympathetic Arizona business man makes a gift to Bronson of a gun. Then Bronson uses his quarters at the laundromat and starts blowing the punks away.
Naturally the cops are miffed when the scum of NYC is being offed by a "vigilante" and they are left with nothing to do but drink coffee, escort little old ladies across the street and play poker at the precinct. Bronson is eventually found out but without admitting anything he is none-the-less escorted out of town and when he arrives at his new killing ground, the last scene points to Death Wish number, 2,3,4 5 which lacked the punch of the original. But I have to admit one scene in number 2 I remember-Bronsons catatonic daughter once more meets up with a murderous gang of thugs and to escape she jumps out a window and impales herself on a picket fence. Cool.
Death Wish was kinda controversial when it was first released but the audiences lapped it up and so did I.
On a personal note, since I conceal carry, I am hardly a vigilante and I wouldn't go looking for trouble but if trouble came to me, let's just say I would be alive and trouble would have no need of Mr Bronson's dirty sock and his only accessorie quite possibly would be--a toe tag.
This review is dedicated to the preeminent JCVD reviewer.

Arthur Hiller
Paddy Chayefsky (Marty) wrote the script for this 1971 film that mixes--in Chayefsky tradition--absurdist satire with a touching, almost wistful love story. George C. Scott plays a cynical doctor battling bureaucratic superstructures on the one hand and hippie-dippy flakiness among some patients on the other. When he falls for an eccentric young woman (Diana Rigg) with an alternative view on everything, the road to liberation from burdensome responsibilities seems to open before him. Director Arthur Hiller (Love Story) doesn't do much more than bring the screenplay to life, though he does create a persuasive sense of urban chaos in the setting. Scott gives a...
"The more things change...", 2010-05-11
"The Hospital" starring George C. Scott and Diana Rigg (yes THAT Diana Rigg) is a biting, funny, soul wrenching attack on the American health system; which, 30 years later is [unfortunately] just as dead on [excuse the pun] as it was when first released in the 1970s.
Anyone with a brain, a sense of wry humor, and an ounce of compassion, will enjoy this movie- and should see this movie.

A great movie that offers a glimpse into what Jackie was like while married to JFK, 2006-09-30
This is a great movie staring Jaclyn Smith covering the period of time of Jackie's childhood through when Jackie met Jack Kennedy and married him up until Jack's death in Dallas. It offers a glimpse of what Jackie was like during this period and what being married to JFK was like. The period of time called Camelot was a magical time in US history and this film offers a unique and up beat perspective into this period.
For example there is a part in the film where Jackie went to Europe and Jack asked here to bring back some books. A whole crate of them. After they were married Jackie complained that the press asked here questions like if her panties were cotton or nylon. Jack said that when you give them something better to talk about they will and that's when she decided to renovate the White House.
Jaclyn Smith's acting is superb and the contrast between the role she plays and Jackie's alcoholic father is quite interesting. It's an great addition the body of knowledge about Jackie and JFK and a great Jaclyn Smith film.
The VHS tape version that is currently available has a running time of 122 minutes. The original version was 150 minutes. It would be nice if ABC Circle Films who produced the film in 1981 or whoever owns it would release the entire 150 minutes on DVD.
