Meet Wally and Dave. Wally is blind,Dave is deaf. When a man is murdered outside the newsstand where they work, the police collar thesetwo unlikely buddies as their main suspects ..."
"Sidney Poitier is seldom praised as a pioneer of blaxploitation, but that's what he is in They Call Me Mister Tibbs. This sequel's title is cribbed from its groundbreaking predecessor, In the Heat of the Night, but similarities end there, since this engaging murder mystery owes more to "blaxpo" and the urban police procedurals that dominated film and TV in the early 1970s. Poitier's got plenty of proto-funk charisma (and a Quincy Jones ..."
"An expensive box-office flop when released in 1970, The Molly Maguires can now be appreciated as a compelling drama with potent political undertones. The talent involved is first-rate all the way: In addition to the volatile teaming of Sean Connery and Richard Harris on opposite sides of a Pennsylvania miners' war, director Martin Ritt and screenwriter Walter Bernstein were at the height of their Hollywood powers, determined to give vie ..."
"Legendary actress Leslie Caron (An American In Paris) stars as a beautiful French actress struggling to avoid the deadly politics and forbidden passions of Nazi-occupied France."
"Timothy Daltons zweiter und auch letzter Auftritt als James Bond ist nahezu ebenso unterhaltsam wie sein Debüt, das er zwei Jahre früher im 1987 entstandenen Der Hauch des Todes hatte. Dieses mal wird Bond zum Rächer, nachdem ein enger Freund (David Hedison, Sprengkommando Atlantik, Die größte Geschichte aller Zeiten), der ebenfalls beim Geheimdienst arbeitet, am Tag seiner Hochzeit ermordet wird. 007 begibt sich in den Untergrund und e ..."
"Franklin J. Schaffner (Patton) directs this true story of Henri Charriere (better known as "Papillon" or "the butterfly"), a prisoner so determined to escape the notorious Devil's Island, he attempted it multiple times until he reached old age. Steve McQueen plays Charriere, and Dustin Hoffman is very good as the hero's anxious, defenseless friend. Based on Charriere's own memoir and uncompromisingly adapted by screenwriters Dalton Trum ..."

"With its opening long shots of a car driving through the canyons of empty streets stirring up clouds of waste paper, Charlton Heston's 1971 film The Omega Man is an interesting precursor of more recent last-person-on-earth films such as 28 Days Later. Heston is surprisingly good at conveying the terror of being completely on your own, with sanity that wanders into long conversations with the inanimate. Rather less good are the film's an ..."
"Patrick Swayze stars with his wife Lisa Niemi and Emmy Award-winner Anthony Zerbe in this post-apocalyptic action adventure. They call him Nomad, a man without a home, without a past. A new breed of warrior trained in the arts of swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat, roaming the vast desert wastelands in a postnuclear age...in a time when laws are useless and water is more precious than blood. When Nomad's old friend and mentor is b ..."
"The Dead Zone is based on a novel by Stephen King, directed by David Cronenberg ("Scanners", "The Fly") and produced by Debra Hill ("Halloween", "The Fog"). Such a trio of horror vets would be expected to come up with an evening of shocks and gore, but "The Dead Zone" is a surprise. While it has great atmospheric eeriness and undeniably scary moments, "The Dead Zone" is at heart a sensitive and thoughtful portrayal of main character Jo ..."
"Of all the Philip Marlowes, Robert Mitchum's in Farewell, My Lovely resonates most deeply. That's because this is Marlowe past his prime, and Mitchum imbues Raymond Chandler's legendary private detective with a sense of maturity as well as a melancholy spirit. And yet there's plenty of Mitchum's renowned self-deprecating humor and charismatic charm to remind us of his own iconic presence. As in the previous 1944 film version, Murder, M ..."
"Franklin J Schaffner's Papillon is quite possibly the definitive prison escape drama. Not as thrilling as The Great Escape, nor as emotionally cathartic as The Shawshank Redemption, its unflinching emphasis on the barbarism of "civilised" societies is nevertheless unparalleled. Significantly, the only characters to display any real kindness in this film are the social outcasts: the lepers and native Indians; everyone else has been corru ..."
"Deputy Marshal Rooster Cogburn wurde dank seiner Sauferei pensioniert. Als es darum geht, eine Bande von Banditen und Mördern zur Strecke zu bringen, die soeben einen Überfall verübt haben, wird Cogburn wieder eingestellt. Auf seiner Suche nach den Verbrechern trifft er auf Eula Goodnight, der Tochter eines Reverends, der während des Überfalls ermordet wurde. Von nun an begibt sich das ungleiche Paar gemeinsam mit einem Indianerjungen a ..."

"Villejeune, Florida. A secluded little town at the edge of a vast, eerie swamp. Far from prying eyes. Far from the laws of civilization. Here folks live by their own rules -- dark rites of altars and infants, candles and blood.Years ago the Andersons left town with a dream. Now they are back. To live out a nightmare. Something has been waiting for them. Something unspeakably evil. It feeds on the young and the innocent. And soon it will ..."
