You may be surprised to discover that the director of the Lethal Weapon movies and scary horror flick The Omen, Richard Donner, also produced and directed this classic children's adventure (which, by the way, was written by Donner's screen-wizard friend Steven Spielberg). Then again you may not. The Goonies, like Donner's other movies, is the same story of good versus evil. It has its share of bad guys (the Fratelli brothers and their villainous mother), reluctant-hero good guys (the Walsh bothers and their gang of friends), and lots of corny one-liners. Like in an old-fashioned Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew plot, the Goonies need to solve a problem: a corrupt corporate developer has bought out their neighborhood and plans to flatten all their homes. Luckily, the beloved gang stumbles on a treasure map. In the hopes of finding the treasure to buy back their houses, the Goonies embark on their quest through underground passages, aboard pirate ships, and behind waterfalls. This swashbuckling and rollicking ride was also a great breeding ground for a couple of child actors who went on to enjoy numerous successes in adulthood: Sean Astin (Rudy, Encino Man) and Martha Plimpton (Pecker, 200 Cigarettes). --Samantha Allen Storey

Description

Following a mysterious treasure map into a spectacular underground realm of twisting passages, outrageous booby-traps and a long-lost pirate ship full of golden dubloons, the kids race to stay one step ahead of a family of bumbling bad guys... and a mild-mannered monster with a face only a mother could love.

Why was there never a sequel?.......2007-07-03

This movie was little more than your typical 80's "Teen angst" movie, starring Sean Astin, Josh Brolin and (we hope) a sober and drug free Corey Feldman. A search for pirate treasure, a trio of bad guys who keep their deformed brother locked in a basement and an Indiana Jones-like trek through tunnels, caves and booby traps takes this from a campy 80's kid flick to an enjoyable Richard Donner film.

I just watched it again this past weekend with my 9 year old. He sat wide-eyed at the tense parts, laughed his toosh off at the funny parts and raised a freaked out brow at the first sighting of Sloth...

And when it was all over, he asked me a very simple question... "When's part two coming out?"

I didn't know what to tell him. After 20 years, if they haven't made one by now, they're not likely to make one. "Chunk" at 35 just wouldn't be as funny.

goonies.......2007-06-10

saw this movie .went it came out was in pressed than as iam now it a classic

Hey You Guys!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-06-01

I grew up with this movie. Its one of my all time favorites and it's a classic.
Its about a group of kids who find a treasure map and go looking for the treasure. Pretty simple but throw in the booby traps, 3 wanted killers, a deformed giant and you still arent even coming close to describing this hit.
All I can say is its a must have for any movie library. I bought a copy for my 5 year old son (warning there is a bit of cursing but hey, I grew up with it so can he) He loves it and watches it over and over again. Thankfully its one of those movies that I could never get sick of so I havent gone crazy from seeing it yet.

A Definite Must-Have DVD.......2007-05-26

I was 21 years old and in college when this movie came out and I liked it! At almost 43, I still love the movie and have it in my DVD collection. There are many good scenes in the movie, such as when Chunk is watching the car chase and smashes his drink against the window and says, "AW #$%&!" I also like the contraption that Data uses to get over to Mikey's house and goes thru the front screen door. The best part of the movie.. The end where they save their town from the developers! You will have to watch the movie to find out how the Goonies save their town. :)

Bill Bixby plays a 19th-century gambler who inherits responsibility for three orphans, but the kids in turn have something of value: a huge gold nugget. This Disney film from 1975 is an enjoyable potboiler with its sentimentality under control and the accent on laughs, most of which are provided, not unexpectedly, by Tim Conway and Don Knotts as thieves who want to get their hands on the treasure. An easy, safe film for children. You can't go wrong with this. --Tom Keogh

Description

Head for cover! Don Knotts and Tim Conway are Wild West outlaws who can't hit the broad side of a barn -- but never miss when it comes to rounding up laughs! The hilarity begins when a roving bachelor (Bill Bixby) inherits three young orphans and a wealth of problems. When the youngsters stumble upon a huge golden nugget, they must fend off the greedy townspeople. So the kids join forces with the bumbling outlaws to stage a robbery of the gold. Little do they know a surly gang of sharpshooters plans to beat them to the draw! If you're aiming for fun, saddle up and head out with THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG!

This DVD was poor quality, and you could not really enjoy the movie, good movie, just poor quality, plus I thought it would have more of Tim and Don in it.

Excellant.......2007-05-07

If you are looking for a clean funny movie without sex, violence, and cursing this is the right movie. It is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Very family orient and I recommend it to anyone.

First they blew into town, then they BLEW it up!.......2007-03-22

Excellent family comedy! Don Knotts & Tim Conway are at their best!
Three orphaned siblings are forced upon confirmed bachelor Russel Donovan(Bixby) in a 19nth century boom town of Quake City, California. After an earthquake shakes the area, the children find a large gold nugget worth tens of thousands of dollars. But their newfound wealth is causing more problems than it's solving, so they decide to "give" the gold to 2 bumbling outlaws, Theodore & Amos (Knotts&Conway). But the only way they can get the gold is to steal it from the bank vault where it's being held for safekeeping.
Quotes:
(Amos makes Theodore angry)
Theodore: You couldn't see through a barbed wire fence!
Amos: Theodore?
Theodore: That head of yours couldn't hold straw!
Amos: Theodore?
Theodore: You couldn't sell hacksaws in a jail!

Amos: How much money do you figure that dudes got in front of him?
Theodore: About five hundred.
Amos: Five hundred? WOW! You know, that'll be, uh, that's two hundred apiece!

Another Great Walt Disney Picture.......2007-02-01

When I do a movie review I base it on what I think of the movie and not anyone else. This picture was made back in 1975 and is another great Walt Disney picture. Bill Bixby plays the role of Russel Donovan, Tim Conway plays the role of Gangster Amos Tucker, Don Knotts plays the role of Gangster Theodore Ogelvie, and Harry Morgan plays the role of Sheriff Homer McCoy. Donovan comes to town looking for a poker game while on his way to New Orleans. Donovan is approach by an old friend and wants him to claim what's on the stage that belongs to him. Donovan agrees only to fine that he's reasonable for three little kids. According to the local sheriff Donovan has to attend to these three little kids. After an earthquake shakes the area, the children find a large gold nugget worth tens of thousands of dollars. But their newfound wealth is causing more problems than it's solving, so they agree to "give" the gold to two bumbling outlaws (Knotts & Conway). But they only way they can get the gold are to steal it from the bank vault where it's being held for safe keeping.

Amazon.com

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead aspires to be a cross between Home Alone and Risky Business, with Christina Applegate as an inadvertent scam artist who gets in over her head and somehow pulls it off. When her mother goes to Australia for two months, Sue Ellen (Applegate) thinks she's going to be in charge--until an elderly tyrant of a babysitter arrives. But on the very first night the old lady has a heart attack and keels over. Sue Ellen and her siblings leave the body at a mortuary, only to discover afterward that all the money their mother had left for the summer was in the babysitter's clothes. So Sue Ellen has to get a job. Thanks to a trumped-up resume, she ends up as an executive assistant at a clothing manufacturer. For a while she keeps her head above water by skillfully exploiting a friendly coworker, but her brothers and sisters are running amok at home and a venomous receptionist has it in for her at work. The role-reversal humor of Sue Ellen having to mother her siblings is unsurprising, but Applegate is unexpectedly appealing; her scenes with Josh Charles (Dead Poet's Society, Threesome) have a sweet chemistry. Joanna Cassidy (Blade Runner, The Laughing Policeman) plays Sue Ellen's boss and a young David Duchovny (The X-Files, The Rapture) is a weaselly clerk. --Bret Fetzer

Summer of Maturity.......2007-05-24

Director Stephen Herek and writers Neil Landau and Tara Ison present us with a tale that requires a lot of suspension of disbelief.
This 1991 flick focuses on the chaotic life of the Crandell Family, headed by a single mother (Concetta Tomei) who is to vacation in Australia for three months.
She leaves her five children in the care of octogenarian Mrs. Struak (Eda Reiss Merin), who appears nice on the surface, but who proves to be a tyrannical martinet once Mrs. Crandell leaves. Luckily, her tyranny is cut short after less than a day with her sudden death.
Rather than calling the authorities, the children dispose of her in front of a funeral home, and the oldest child, Sue Ellen(Christina Applegate), takes a job at a hot dog stand when they discover that the money their mother left for household expenses was with the corpse.
Sue Ellen's co-worker and High School sweetheart, Bryan (Josh Charles),
tries to rekindle a romance. But Sue Ellen moves on, using a fake resume to get a job with a fashion firm. She is mistakenly employed as an executive when she only wanted the receptionist's position. But her new boss, Rose Linsey, (Joanna Cassidy)is deeply impressed. Rose is dating co-worker, Gus (John Getz), who makes advances towards the pretty ingenue. Co workers Bruce, and Cathy (David Duchovny, Kimmy Robertson) try to discredit Sue Ellen.
At home Sue Ellen's brother Kenny ( Keith Coogan, with the acting chops of grandfather Jackie) begins a transition from a pot smoking slacker to an efficient household manager and cook. Younger siblings, including softball player, Melissa, lovelorn Zach, and adventerous Walter (Danielle Harris, Christopher Pettiet, and Robert Hy Gorman) fall in line as well.
Inevitably, there are critical missteps, and Sue Ellen gives herself and her siblings one more chance fore redemption before turning everyone in. Watch for a scene of Kenny and Sue Ellen sparring like an old married couple.
Sue Ellen is slated to give a fashion presentation, and with a lot of help from their friends, the Crandell kids pull it off brilliantly.
But Sue Ellen's lies are soon exposed, and Mom comes home and pulls the plug.
No matter. Rose expresses her gratitude for the teenager's help during the summer, and may help her get into college.
Mrs. Crandell is impressed by her oldest son's reinvention of himself, and the positive aspect of this story is that the kids inspire their friends to have a sense of direction for their lives as well.
The whereabouts of the babysitter's remains seem rather irrelevant in the end.

The Dishes are Done Man!.......2007-05-10

Love this movie!! Great for a good laugh. Very cute movie and good for teenage kids...I watched as a child and have loved it since day one.

Don't Tell Mom is an awesome, classic movie. I love Christina Applegate. It's lighthearted and funny. Anyone would enjoy this movie. Not for children.

One of the better teen comedies of the time period and way better than the title leads you to believe! The good cast does what it can with the far fetched and silly script. It's kinda like Working Girl meets Home Alone...I guess?

Don't tell mom the babysitters Dead.......2007-03-08

A perfect movie for babysitter's everywhere. Christina Applegate is histerical in this outrageous movie about 5 kids that have the summer to themselves because there mother is in Australia and there babysitter just died. See what they do and how they make it through the summer in this fabulous hit!

This somewhat unpleasant 1992 sequel to the blockbuster Home Alone revisits the first film's gimmick by stranding Macaulay Culkin's character in New York City while his family ends up somewhere else. Again, the little guy meets up with colorful people on the margins of society (including a pigeon woman played by Brenda Fricker) and again he gets into a prop-heavy battle with Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. The latter sequence is even worse than the first film in terms of violence inflicted on the two villains (director Chris Columbus, who also made the first film, can't seem to emphasize the slapstick over the graphic effects of the fight). The best running joke finds a concierge (Tim Curry) at the swank hotel where Culkin is staying trying and failing to prove that the boy is on his own. --Tom Keogh

Description

Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is back! But this time he's in New York City with enough cash and credit cards to turn the Big Apple into his own playground! But Kevin won't be alone for long. The notorious Wet Bandits, Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), still smarting from their last encounter with Kevin, are bound for New York too, plotting a huge holiday heist. Kevin's ready to welcome them with a battery of booby traps the bumbling bandits will never forget!

Description

Unflinchingly honest and boundlessly lyrical, the exploration of sexual awakening in You Are Not Alone was a turning point in world cinema. At a Danish boy's boarding school in the late 1970s, Bo and Kim are naive young classmates, whose friendship blossoms into a childlike love affair. When their friend is expelled for a prank involving lewd posters, the student body bands together to strike against the school and its authoritarian headmaster. Lasse Nielsen and Ernst Johansen's classic film is a groundbreaking meditation on innocence, rebellion and love.

love in it's purest form.......2007-02-12

A true love develops between two boys. A beautiful story.

realistic, loving and caring movie.......2007-01-31

I love this movie, reading between the acts and the words it is a real love that hopefully will stand against the conservative world. touching many points and aspects in the characters. 5 stars for the ending. recommending it to every "coming up boy" to watch!

You are not alone.......2007-01-10

The DVD version of you are not alone is an improvement on the VHS version. Better clearer subtitles, much better picture quality. The relationship that blossoms between Bo and Kim is very realistic, passionate and touching. The movie gives glimpses of the other boys relationships, such as the boy making out in the cellar with an older girl staff member and later he is seen by BO french kissing and making love in the shower with another slightly older boy, it showcases the boys bi-sexual identity.
Though most of the movie follows Kim and Bo. The shower scene with Bo and Kim is a favorite for me as is the final scene with them french kissing, I like this because I know very few American film makers would touch the subject let alone have a nude scene. It is my favorite coming of age movie or gay youth movie. Watch with an open mind and enjoy. The closing scene is very passionate, lots of kissing and hugging, just the thing to make the conservative anti gay crowd reel. I love it.

Steve F.

Pioneering "coming of age" film for all.......2006-12-28

Like so many films that have "gay" themes, this film is wrongly seen by some as a homosexual "coming of age" story. But it is not that simple. As shown very realistically in this beautiful movie, there is a lot of confusion among kids--and maybe there is more today than there was in the late '70s when this movie was made. Anyone who ever suffered from that confusion, whether arising from sexual, social, or other anxieties, will enjoy this film. It truly has a little of everything.

Is it a little too "erotic" for American sensibilities? Maybe, but those who are realistic about sexual experimentation will not have any problems with the very tastefully suggestive depictions of that. The young actors, male and female, are charming and convincing.

And there are brief adventures of the kind that typically occur in boarding schools and novels or films about them. But they are done
well and also reveal something of a "European" view of how various crises and problems in this kind of setting might be handled.

Grady Harp's review is right on target. The two protagonists, Kim and Bo, represent not necessarily gay kids, but any kids who are lonely, confused, alienated, and yearning for love and acceptance. They could be "geeks" or any other minority. And the depictions of "bullying" in schools and other settings, in a film from over twenty-five years ago, are eerily prescient.

But there are also many scenes of understanding and solidarity among the kids that are heart-warming. The final scene is really moving, especially when you understand that the whole school is behind it.

It's too bad that the DVD release does not offer many "extras", but it's a bargain.

I even like the "pop" music.

Now and forever a favorite among kids, this 1990 comedy written by John Hughes (The Breakfast Club) and directed by Chris Columbus (Mrs. Doubtfire) ushered Macaulay Culkin onto the screen as a troubled 8-year-old who doesn't comfortably mesh with his large family. He's forced to grow a little after being accidentally left behind when his folks and siblings fly off to Paris. A good-looking boy, Culkin lights up the screen during several funny sequences, the most famous of which finds him screaming for joy when he realizes he's unsupervised in his own house. A bit wooden with dialogue, the then-little star's voice could grate on the nerves (especially in long, wise-child passages of pure bromide), but he unquestionably carries the film. Billie Bird and John Candy show up as two of the interesting strangers Culkin's character meets. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern are entertainingly cartoonish as thieves, but the ensuing violence once the little hero decides to keep them out of his house is over-the-top. --Tom Keogh

Description

Eight-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) has become the man of the house, overnight! Accidentally left behind when his family rushes off on a Christmas vacation, Kevin gets busy decorating the house for the holidays. But he's not decking the halls with tinsel and holly. Two bumbling burglars are trying to break in, and Kevin's rigging a bewildering battery of booby traps to welcome them!

Absolutely Hilarious Exploits of an Eight-year Old Boy.......2007-06-12

This comedy is loaded with ironies. The boy wishes that his family would disappear. For a time, he gets his wish. The boy, Kevin, considered to be incompetent, does exploits far beyond his age. Left alone by a big family who goes to Paris for Christmas, he takes care of the big house, does grocery shopping, and stymies two burglars. The burglars think that they will have an easy time with the boy, but instead get the hassle of their lives. A neighbor man, supposedly a murderer who used his snow shovel to kill his relatives, actually lost his relatives to an old, long-unresolved argument. As a further irony, he uses his snow shovel on the burglars. The mother, thinking that she is a bad parent for having forgotten her own son, learns from the Polka troupe (that is driving her home) that many of its members hardly ever see their children in the first place. Finally, the family, divided by spiteful comments, is brought together in their frantic efforts to return home to Kevin.

Grestest Film! Decent Special Features!.......2007-05-22

This is one of the greatest films of all time. It will be around forever! I was hoping this edition of the DVD would have special features with more shots and footage from the set from back in 1990. However, I'm sure that since it was 17 years ago most of the behind the scenes footage from the filming was lost. Most of the special features are just interviews with the people who put the film together, talking about what they did for the film. Be sure to listen to the DVD commentary with Macaulay Culkin and Chris Columbus. It's interesting to watch deleted footage that didn't make the film as well. Overall, I wish the special features were more elaborate and more on-set showing the actual shooting of the film, but since it was so long ago, I don't blame them for not having it on file anymore.

A Holiday Classic Has Been Saved.......2007-03-29

The first edition of this dvd was ok but lacked in the special features area and dvd quality. Thankfully the Family Fun edition has been released and the quality is excellent. This new edition has 5.1 sound and the picture quality is so much more crisper. This dvd is loaded with special features. It's hard to believe that Home Alone came out more than 16 years ago and has stood the test of time and is destined to be a holiday classic. Great fun movie...

"Alone in the Wilderness" is the story of Dick Proenneke. To live in a pristine land unchanged by man... to roam a wilderness through which few other humans have passed... to choose an idyllic site, cut trees and build a log cabin... to be a self-sufficient craftsman, making what is needed from materials available... to be not at odds with the world, but content with one's own thoughts and company... Thousands have had such dreams, but Dick Proenneke lived them. He found a place, built a cabin, and stayed to become part of the country. This video "Alone in the Wilderness" is a simple account of the day-to-day explorations and activities he carried out alone, and the constant chain of nature's events that kept him company.

This is a very interesting and entertaining DVD. The only drawback is that the quality of the picture is poor...you can tell it's an old film.

Alaskan Perfection.......2007-05-30

This film is all Alaska. It really illistrates the "pioneer" and "can do" attitude we Alaskans have. It is really simple and pure, fun and smart. Shows the true beauty of this beautiful state.

Alone in the Wilderness.......2007-04-05

I loved watching this movie on TV and purchased it for my father for Fathers Day. Its sooo hard to find something he doesn't already have and I thought he would really enjoy this movie.

wow.......2007-03-17

i got this like the day after i bought it! very good condition. i just love this movie!

Alone in the Wilderness.......2007-03-13

A very entertaining and fascinating video. I'm amazed with what Mr. Proenneke was able to do and that he did such a wonderful job of documenting it in film. It was hard to believe he didn't have a film crew working with him. Highly recommended!

Harry Hook's adaptation is not as faithful to the William Golding novel as you'd wish (they excised the Lord of the Flies dialogue with Simon!) and because of it, the movie is less allegorical and less resonant. A group of young men from a military academy are stranded on an island. The group quickly becomes fractious with a passive section led by Ralph, trying to get rescued, and a hunter faction, led by Jack, trying to procure meat and "have fun." Peter Brook's 1963 filming seemed to get closer to the Darwinist sense of this cultural disintegration. Here, the hunter faction seems more like Peter Pan's Lost Boys than the bloodthirsty murderers they are. The performances, particularly young Getty, don't quite carry the weight of the situation. It's still, however, sobering to slowly watch the school uniforms traded for war paint, and the little boys turn into little savages. --Keith Simanton

Description

With 'sharply expressive performances (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) by its young cast, this stunning adventure explores the deep dark corners of the human soul, as a group of adolescent castaways are thrust into an intense world where law and accountability are governed by the rules of survival. After a harrowing plane crash into the sea, a group of American military cadets finds itselfmarooned on a deserted island. Realizing the minimal chances of being rescued, the boys band together out of fear and desperation. But as the island paradise becomes their own, competition and power struggles split them into two packs. Ralph (Bathazar Getty) leads one group and preaches civilized ingenuity and togetherness, but Jack (Chris Furrh) wants nothing of it and builds a faction of barbaric hunters who ultimately go to war with Ralph. This powerful shift in conscience transforms ordinary kids into primal killers, setting off a devastating battle of good versus evil and presenting a haunting metaphor for the savage in us all.

I'm glad I was never trapped on an island w/ these kids..........2007-06-07

This was a very good movie that came from an even better book. When I was younger I didn't understand people who would claim that the books were better than movies. Now, I do. However, I feel that for this statement to be true, one must have a vivid imagination and be able to immerse themselves in the world that the author created.

Anyway, I loved the book and I thought the movie was well done too. The kids are pretty good at acting. Almost too good, as if they were actually dropped off on an island and told that they had to figure out a way to survive. I would recommend watching this movie w/o children because I think it may be a bit much.

Pretty Good Movie.......2007-06-04

It doesn't follow the book that much, but I think it's pretty realistic of what you see in the movie. It should be different since it's expressing someone's own idea and point of view to the book. Pretty intense and a really great movie. Buy it.

Great Product.......2007-03-11

The product was received in great condition and timely delivered by the seller. I would buy again

It is an ok movie.......2007-02-11

This updated version of this movie is quiet a change from the book. But, just because it is a change from the book isn't a good reason for me not to like it. I did like the movie over all and I thought that the point that the director tried to make came across fine. Even though there were no adults there, the children did develop a "government" and those differences came out in the group that won compared to the group that lost followers. Also, in developing a "government" there was a hierachy of leadership and blood shed. See the movie for yourself and come to your own conclusions about the movie. For myself, I did enjoy it and will probably see it again.

Not the Best Adaptation.......2007-01-07

I read the book and then decided to purchase the film I thought it was not that bad but the swearing it was over the top. If you want to show this movie to students I'll be cautios there are more than 200 swearing words through out the film. There is an older version of this film, which is black and white, but far better than this one.

Little did Tom Cruise know that he would become a box-office superstar after he cranked up some Bob Seeger and played air guitar in his underwear. But there's more to this 1983 hit than the arrival of a hot young star. Making a stylish debut, writer-director Paul Brickman crafted a subtle satire of crass materialism wrapped in an irresistible plot about a crafty high schooler named Joel (Cruise) who goes into risky business with the beguiling prostitute Lana (Rebecca De Mornay) while his parents are out of town. Joel turns his affluent Chicago-suburb home into a lucrative bordello and forms a steamy personal and professional partnership with Lana, but only as long as the two can avoid the vengeful pimp Guido (Joe Pantoliano) and keep their customers happy. A signature film of the 1980s, Risky Business still holds up thanks to Cruise's effortless charm and the movie's timeless appeal as an adolescent male fantasy. --Jeff Shannon

Description

too old fashioned.......2007-02-18

not that exciting, nor does it come with some amazing twists. maybe it fits the taste of the early 80's. the girl next door is more fun to watch, and damn, elisha cuthbert is hot.

Subversive.......2006-12-11

A subversive, quintessential 1980s-style coming-of-age story, disguised as an 80s teen sex romp, set in the Chicago suburbs. It recasts the elements of William Faulkner's coming-of-age story, The Reivers--the young man (Joel), the old man's car (the Porsche), the corrupting influence (Curtis Armstrong), and Miss Reba's house (his parents' North Shore home), twisting them into a sort of Reagan-era fable where it's OK, even admirable, to be a pimp for a weekend. The moral: take responsibility for your own mess, get rid of the evidence, and exploit the corruptibility of your Princeton admissions rep.

This is a classic. Not to bad for Cruise work. .......2006-08-22

This is again one of those movies that has been hyped up for years as a classic, often played in edited form on Cable movie channels, and is recognized as the birth of the monster that is know as Cruise. The story of a high school kid from a well off family said "what the heck"...well, different 4 letter word. But, every kids dream was having the house alone. Party time. Good kids would stay at home board and dreaming, bad kids would throw the party. Well, this movie was the changing of that good kid to the risk taking bad kid. Playing on the fantasy life of many young men, Joel is a Senior in high school trying to get to college and "walking the line" at home to not dissapoint his patents. Well, when their away, peer pressure gets the best of him and he make a call out of the personals for a "date"...and the rest is history. From thier his life take a nose dive. Can he save it? Well, the fantasy plays out and walla, he get into princton. Its how he gets their is fun. Probably the best acting from Tom Cruise in his life, Just honestly looking back went down from here. And the rest of the cast was good as well. A dark comedy, but funny at times. Worth a watching.

GOOD OLD TIME ROCK N ROLL.......2006-08-17

THE SCENE ON THE METRO, THAT WAS HOT, BACK THEN, STILL TIMELESS. TOM CRUISE'S BEST. I LOVE TEEN COMEDIES ESPECIALLY ONES FROM THE EIGHTIES. AND THAT CRYSTAL EGG AND THE PORSCHA..HILARIOUS, THIS MOVIE IS SPECIAL TO ME BECAUSE IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST RATED R MOVIES I WATCHED BACK THEN. AND HOW TRUE IT WAS, TEENAGERS DANCING IN THEIR UNDERWEAR WHEN THERE PARENTS ARE NOT HOME, ONE WHO SAYS THEY HAVEN'T IS LYING.

Adolescent male fantasy, I should say so.......2006-08-05

A much better film than I imagined and was led to believe. Even we mature males fantasize about these things, at least I do. I enjoyed it much to my surprise and so did my wife. (Don't tell her about my fantasies, allright?) Surprisingly good acting by Cruise and the lovely Rebecca de Mornay who I saw only a few days ago in "The Shining". I wonder what she is like now, 23 years later. I'm sure she is still lovely. Light but fun.

Description

In 2004 Michael Franti decided to `walk his talk' and traveled to the war zones of Iraq, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. This wasn't a USO green zone sponsored visit - Franti and his team organized a trip that would take him to the core of the red-zoned, war torn neighborhoods of Baghdad, the West Bank and Gaza Strip armed with only a guitar, video cameras and the intent to experience first hand the human cost of war. Throughout his journey he shares his music with families, doctors, musicians, soldiers and everyday people who in turn reveal to him the often overlooked human cost of war. Out of this expedition, Franti has produced and directed a compelling documentary film titled I Know I'm Not Alone. With its guerrilla style footage captured in active war zones, the documentary is unlike the many academic and politically driven pieces in the marketplace, instead offering the audience a sense of intimate travel and the opportunity to hear the voices of everyday people living, creating and surviving under the harsh conditions of war and occupation.

Eye Opener.......2007-06-21

I watched this movie last night and I like Michael's music. I must say that this movie is an eye opener! Over all I think that this was a good movie that all should watch. What a great man to go in peace and try to offer peace to all sides. I love seeing the face of the people and how music calms them a little. The children's eyes light up when he walks up playing his guitar. What and experience that must have been for him and how awesome the people were to him. Some of the people were just beautiful.

ONE OF THE BEST FILMS/DOCUMENTARIES EVER!!!!!!!.......2007-05-11

EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD SEE THIS MOVIE!!! Every one of our friends who have seen this have loved it. Finally, a look at the Human aspect of the war: the part that our government is trying its hardest to censor from us. We see that Iraqis and Palestinians are just like us, but are forced to live in conditions made worse by American troops and American funding of Israeli troops. You have to see this film.

A different look at the middle east.......2007-05-04

Franti shows us a side of the middle east that's rarely seen in the US media and other docs about the war...he shows the people struggling to survive by living their lives in war torn Baghdad and Palestine. Franti connects with every day people through his music. Although his 'Habibi' song gets old, he seems to bring a smile to folks that have very little to smile about.

Watching this film reinforces the notion that war is senseless...it's unfortunate that those that start wars would never watch a film like this one. If they did, maybe, just maybe, they'd lose a little bit of sleep at night.

Eye-opening film.......2007-04-01

I think this is one of the most influential films of our time regarding the war in Iraq and Israel. It is so insightful into what the troops on both sides think of the battle...

Vice said it best.......2007-03-26

Guys like this make us look like self-righteous suckers. The Iraqi kid writing for Vice Magazine summed it up pretty well:

So here's Michael Franti, this huge, lanky kid with an acoustic guitar and breadlocks, and he goes inside a war-ravaged country to try and pry open "all the answers." Not surprisingly, he manages to completely miss the real pulse of Iraq, presenting his Iraqi subjects with the same patronizing concern you'd expect any kind-souled Westerner to feel towards any war-torn, lower-being Third World humans. It's almost shocking how out-of-touch Franti is with what's going on around him. He decides that making up a song with an Arabic word would be a good ice breaker, so he welcomes himself into each house he visits by jumping up and down in the center of the room singing "habibi" repeatedly while the family members sit back and smile politely at the dancing Western idiot. I'm not sure if this is exactly what he was searching for, but if the human cost of war is being locked in a round of humor-the-foreigner-until-he-goes-away by some messiah-tripping Bob-Marley-wannabee maybe it's more horrific than we thought.
