I Saw A Film! I never read the book, but I have read that they changed Peppard's character to straight. This is a bit of an oddball of a movie. Possibly meant as a sort of early variation on a soul-searching, non-conformist life (something perhaps that would have taken some steam from the party-happy wild…

I Saw a Film! In a desert post-apocalyptic future (or maybe it's just hippy-era rural Cali), a bunch of rollerskating orphans discover a glowing orb that seems to provide them some form of contentment, oh, and also seems linked to much needed rain. Hunting them across their skate friendly desert is a surprisingly Nazi SS…

I Saw A Film! With Nicholson and Beatty as a couple of ne'er-do-wells looking for a shot at capturing a chunk of capital from a tampon heiress through a complicated scheme of Beatty romancing her, and then marrying her to Nicholson, who plays one of his kookiest simpleton roles here. The fellows manage to hole…

I Saw a Film! I thought it wise to choose a film with Peter Falk and John Cassavetes for this foray into spaghetti organized crime / casino films. Apparently Falk and Cassavetes were good pals, and did a number of films together. Plus, Bond beauty Britt Eklund along for flavor. And a mix of Italian…

I Saw A Film! I don't generally watch much crime drama (murder shows) so I don't know if this is still popular, the super intuitive cop and the bizarrely complex murderer who's creating a pattern that has to be understood so that they can catch him. Kevin Kline is a our cute rascal of a…

I Saw A Film! What a grand, fun, dippin'-dots inspired adventure! Tyrian Lannister's dad, otherwise known as Charlie Dance, has created some mechanical bio-weaponry that are basically standing in for Aliens. No matter, the trope of a careless megacorp selling impossible to stop, uber destructive, inhuman monsters has long been a delicious fantasy to savor…

I Saw A Film! A rich kid with a cushy, do-nothing job at his father's very successful manufacturing firm is obsessive about his wind surfing and pitches an idea for a water tank wind-surfing business that the Japanese are crazy about during a corporate meeting. Meanwhile he and his expensive hair-do manage to do some…

I Saw A Film! Friends, I am here to praise the tremendously moist, post-apocalyptic epic that is Waterworld. What clever ideas. A boss catermaran tricked out with counterweights and harpoons (and a below deck somehow?). A sea of sunken cities. The remains of the floating world collected together on a few atolls. Dry earth a…

I Saw A Film! I have always appreciated the jolie laide Ellen Barkin, but this clunker, made to look and sound like it's a New Orleans tale, by having a baby Dennis Quaid speak with a ridiculous faux-Cajun accent, play with plush alligators and blurt "cher" every chance he could, while talking about gumbo did…

I Saw A Film! Here's a kind of Transformers cum mech-warriors fantasy (long before Pacific Rim) in stop-motion animation with a bit of an Ender's Game competition fantasy layered on it. From the writer of Re-animator and director of From Beyond, a couple of 80s classics, comes this paean to pro-wrestling style competitive patriotic zeal.…
