Hudson Movie Reviews

This movie was really awful. The action scenes were not believable or entertaining, and the acting was high school play level. By the end of the movie, I was laughing at how bad it was. The theme of a teacher who "really cares" seeking the truth in an inner city school is way overdone. This movie is not worth the 1.5 hours it takes to sit through it.

I watched this movie with my sweet, grandmotherly, grey-haired mother. We both loved it. Something about it struck a chord with both of us.

I guess maybe because both of us (yes, even sweet grey-haired mom) have experienced somewhat miserable school experiences--I don't know why, exactly, but something about this film was cathartic. I think we both wished we'd had a school teacher who was a little like the Tom Berenger character in this film.

Berenger plays a tough merecenary type who ends up infiltrating a very rough high school, after his teacher-girlfriend is injured by school thugs. We both enjoyed seeing this take-no-BS fellow handle his unruly classes. We *really* enjoyed seeing this.

The supporting cast (including Berenger's eclectic collection of mercenary buddies) are excellent. Ernie Hudson as the villan is very effective.

A very entertaining film! Recommended.

I recall high school as a more subtle sort of hell than it's portrayed here. Then again, I went to school in a much smaller city.

Plot : Good guy merc temps for girlfriend teacher when school gangs break her kneecap.

It's a good film, with some above average acting and an inevetable ending. To our Hollywood trained eyes, the fights may seem slow; the film wasn't sped up, as is usualy the case for filming fight scenes. I personaly like this; not everyone will. It has some funny scenes, mostly intentional; but these days the big car phone with the cord qualifies as funny too.

The following isn't really a criticism, but more of an observation about it as a standard action flick; there arn't any real spoilers, but if you've never seen it you may want to skip this part and rent it, so you can watch with unbiased eyes:

The bad guys are typical bad guys, with no redeeming qualities whatsoever to make them people. The mercs are fairly mercenary, only the leader thinks taking on a job guarding drug deals is a bad idea. The teachers are uniformly dedicated (except they only show 2 teachers and a librarian) and even with all the gunfire at school the police never do show up on screen. Everything is clear-cut, straightforward and easy to understand. Actually, that's not really a gripe; it is uncomplicated as a movie, but it's very well done.

This does not even have value as a B-movie. Why? Because it has extremely high production values and is not a real B-movie. It's just one big blazing waste of money left over from 1983.

Three years after "Facts of Life," but a year away from her triumphant role in "Sixteen Candles," Molly Ringwald finds herself the prisoner of some tricked-out bum named Overdog on a junk planet that looks like Fred Sanford's backyard. Peter Strauss, the poor man's Richard Chamberlain, plays the poor man's Han Solo (or Lone Starr, if you prefer) and tries to rescue her.

Yes, "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone" is low-budget fun directed by Lamont Johnson. According to the IMDb, Johnson once played Tarzan on radio. With this movie, he shows a keen radio performer's eye for cinema. Ripping off "Star Wars" and "Road Warrior" and featuring more rickety metal garbage than any four episodes of TLC's "Junkyard Wars," this flick has a spunky little heart but little else to offer.

Ringwald would go on to become John Hughes' teen muse and the undisputed 80s teen comedy queen, usually playing upper middle class girls dating sexless, nonthreatening gimps like Andrew McCarthy. Here, she's a punky little spitfire who needs a bath and a shave. Come to think of it, she IS the spunky little heart of this movie. The rest of it can go to hell! But I kid "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone." It's a silly movie with a clumsy title, yet worth watching with friends some drunken evening. But please- try not to confuse "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone" with "Metalstorm: the Destruction of Jared Synn." They both have colons in their titles, and promise things like "adventures," "destruction" and "Jared Synn."

But only "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone" has Molly Ringwald being tortured by Michael Ironside. Ask for it by name!

This movie freaking rules. When I was a kid it was on every time I was sick home from school, on public TV, at about noon. It was very consistent. I TRUST THIS MOVIE. Buy it. It will always be there for you in times of need and is perfect with soup and kleenex and a couch.

The Undefeated is an excellent western that teams John Wayne and Rock Hudson together for the first time. Set in the months after the Civil War, the story follows two groups as they venture into Mexico. One group led by Wayne's Colonel John Henry Thomas is driving 3,000 horses south to deliver to the forces of the French emperor, Maximillian. The other group is a wagon train of Confederate soldiers and their families who are moving to Mexico City under Maximillian's rule. Along the way, the two groups meet up and battle bandits, Juaristas, and even themselves. The action scenes are very well put together, especially the 4th of July fistfight and the bandit attack on the wagon train.

John Wayne and Rock Hudson are great as two rival leaders, one Union and one Confederate, who must work together if they are to survive in Mexico. Their relationship has several funny moments as they discuss their involvement during the war. The Duke's crew includes Ben Johnson as Short Grub, Dub Taylor as Mr. McCartney, Roman Gabriel as Blue Boy, and several other Duke regulars. The rest of the impressive cast includes Tony Aguilar, Bruce Cabot, Merlin Olsen, Edward Faulkner, Harry Carey JR, Marian McCargo, Lee Meriwether, Melissa Newman, and Big John Hamilton. It was great to see this on DVD which offers widescreen presentation, several theatrical trailers including The Comancheros and North to Alaska as well as two in Spanish and Portuguese. In the trailer, look for a scene of Blue Boy's fellow riders capturing Rock Hudson as he rides to Wayne's camp that did not make it to the final copy. This is an excellent post Civil War western that all Duke fans will love! Do not miss!

In this film Wayne, as former Union Colonel John Henry Thomas, and Hudson, as former Confederate Colonel James Langdon, re-enact on a small scale the slow and painful psychological healing and reunion of the divided nation following the Civil War. Thomas and the remnants of his unit (including the ever-delightful Ben Johnson as Short Grub and Roman Gabriel somewhat less than sterling as Thomas's Cherokee adopted son, Blue Boy) return to the West to hunt wild horses for a living, while Langdon and his, unwilling to submit to the indignities of Yankee occupation and carpetbagger rule, burn their homes, pack up their families, and head for Mexico, where they hope to join the French Interventionists (a plan historically followed, though without the noncombatants, by General Jo Shelby). Somewhere in Northern Mexico the two groups meet, and after some mutual suspicion become uneasy allies to beat off a gang of bandidos. When Langdon's company unwittingly blunders into a trap set by the Juaristas, Thomas and his men agree to surrender their catch of horses as ransom. Much of the charm of the film arises from the head-butting of the two veteran commanders (particularly the sequence in which Hudson utters his memorable line, "If I can find the *time* I'm gonna siddown and write the social history of Bourbon!"), which is, of course, echoed by their men (most notably the quiet rivalry of Short Grub and Robert Donner as Judd Mailer). Yet Blue Boy is early attracted to Langdon's daughter (despite the presence of her long-time suitor, Jan-Michael Vincent as Bubba Wilkes), and even Thomas finds a kindred spirit in his rival's widowed sister-in-law. A good movie about the aftermath of war and the healing of wounds.

Various factors combine to make this an enjoyable bit of action-adventure fluff. This applies both before and behind the camera. John Wayne worked very well with director Andrew McLaglen. For the record, the typical result was less artistic than Wayne's efforts with John Ford, Howard Hawks, etc. Wayne and McLaglen adeptly collaborated on an entertaining string of big budget B pictures. Much of the cast is from the Batjac production company players, and features Western stalwarts such as Ben Johnson and Dub Taylor. Then, of course, there is Rock Hudson. Hudson and Wayne both display enthusiasm and humor in their roles as former Civil War enemies that form an unlikely alliance. After the war ends, Wayne and his herders drive wild horses down to Mexico for profit. They find Hudson leading a group of ex-Confederates seeking to resettle around Durango. After fighting off an army of bandits, the Wayne and Hudson contingents are caught between Mexican revolutionary factions and they have to shoot their way out. This flick features an ample amount of shoot-'em-up violence that never gets more explicit than "PG." A highpoint is the hilarious drunken brawl at the Confederates' July 4 picnic. (Why die-hard Confederates want to celebrate July 4 is not explained). Colorful outdoor locations, a small-scale Civil War battle, and a romantic subplot rounds two hours of action-packed fun. Look for football stars Merlin Olsen and Roman Gabriel in supporting roles. Recommended viewing. ;-)

If you are going to pay the money, get the geniune article. Get footage of MJ doing what he does best in the Ultimate Jordan DVD set. Regarding earlier comments, Michael Jordan inspires people in ways others do not. He is an original human being of astounding athletic ability and admirable work ethic. Sure, firefighters and policemen do risk their lives everyday in service of society, and they should be applauded. Jordan should be applauded for being an inspiration for a generation of lost souls. In a society where drugs and violence are major problems, Michael Jordan's success provides young people with hope of a better future. Just because Michael Jordan makes a fortune for his career pursuits does not detract from his accomplishments. He has inspired a generation of youths to pursue their dreams, and that should be worth something. It is quite cynical to dismiss him because he is a charismatic spokesman for products. That is only one facet of a dynamic man, to crucify him for just that one area is narrow-minded.

So you're saying that Michael Jordan's image was created by marketing? Wake up! Did you watch him play? He was the greatest basketball player ever. He scored at will, was one of the best defenders ever, and commanded respect from any opponent or teammate. Neither the media nor large corporations are capable of marketing a player as the greatest. If that were possible, we'd all think Kobe Bryant or Vince Carter were the greatest, with all the attention they get now. Ask Larry Bird or Magic Johnson if "the marketing business propelled Michael Jordan's image into media mega-stardom...". Larry Bird once said that Michael Jordan was god (after Jordan scored 63 on him in the playoffs). Not that I agree with Bird, but the point is, Michael is a hero because he was simply the greatest. Any non-partial basketball fan is aware of this. But he's also a hero because of the way he became the best. Now that players are going from high school to the NBA, one can respect much more that Michael Jordan was cut from the varsity team his sophomore year. Do you think that happened to Kobe Bryant or Kevin Garnett? They were getting calls from major universities when they were still in junior high. On the contrary, Michael showed us that through a hard work ethic, determination, and a will to win, that man can overcome any obstacle to be the best. No, he wasn't perfect. Who is? He overcame inner conflict and rough spots in his own personal life--and even the murder of his father, to win SIX championships, a feat that is near impossible these days with free agency and the salary cap. That's why Michael Jordan is--and always will be--an American hero.

I don't understand how someone can think that Michael Jordan's image is a product of commercial marketing. Did you watch him play? His image is the the result of him being the most dominant basketball player in the history of the game. The Nike deals and millions of dollars came later. And no, Michael's ego doesn't outweigh his talents; he was the best. For all we know, he'll always BE the best, especially with the direction the NBA is going right now. Confidence is a deadly weapon in sports, and his confidence on the court was taken as an ego. Sure, he knew he could score at any time on any person, but so did his opponents. And Michael Jordan is an American hero because he overcame obstacles in his life that would cause most poeple to give up, but he rose above them, and the rest is history. He inspires young people around the world to pursue excellence with a hard work ethic, determination, and will to win. Call me old fashioned, but I was expect anyone to save a baby from a burning building if they saw the opportunity; sure it's heroic also, but nevertheless, ANYONE can be that type of hero, not just firefighters and teachers and doctors...helping others in this way is a part of humanity. Michael Jordan became a hero through blood, sweat, and tears, and that's why he's become such a role model for young and old alike.

The DVD of "The Mirror Crack'd" is the usual Christie as we have all come to expect. It is an entertaining who-done-it taking place in the English countryside; fete and all.

I have seen Angela Lansbury panned as Miss Marple, but I beg to disagree with those reviews. I found Ms. Lansbury a very convincing Marple and I enjoyed her performance very much.

I did, however, find Elizabeth Taylor predictable in her performance as well as Rock Hudson playing her husband.

The later version of this movie, based on a novel, Christie, "Agatha Mirror Crack'd, The", the film Miss Marple: The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side (1992) (TV) (UK: series title). Stays true to form. Joan Hickson is Miss Marple. Agatha Christie always considered her as the ideal Miss Marple; she shows this through her reserve savvy. Jane takes an interactive interest in the mystery and yet each character as part of the discovery, stands on their own. The ending of the story is as is in life, it is appropriate for the situation and not black and white judgmental.
This version of this movie "The Mirror Crack'd (1980)" was made with a lot of glitzy characters. Some of them were quite good such as Rock Hudson (Jason Rudd). Others were distracting as they let their real personalities overwhelm the characters. One of the worst was Angela Lansbury's portrayal of Miss Jane Marple; she was much too cutesy. Jane has this way of looking at you like she knows something.
This film was to Americanize (black and white, judgmental.) and half the characters were combined for brevity.

this is a good movie and Angela Lansbury makes a wonderful Miss Marple. And Elizabeth Taylor is great as always.

The idea of this project is superb. There are 3 rules; 1.The film has to be 52 seconds. 2. No synchronous sound. 3.Film has to be done within 3 takes. And aditional to that i must admit they all use the same original Lumiere camera fof filming and after filming there is no cutting, pasting, editing etc. But... About the content i am disapointed. But except Lynch!!! He proves that even in 52 seconds,with the most primitive camera, a unique and creative job can be done. I want to give some extra credits to Haneke too. Its not because he did a very creative work though. It's for his smart, engineering solution to the problem of "how much can be shown in 52 seconds"! Nearly rest of the other movies are empty and a waste of time in my opinion. Finally; Lynch's film makes the dvd worth buying; yes i agree but if you are a real Lynch fun or a serious dvd collector!

Lumiere and Company (Sarah Moon, 1995)

No, Lumiere and Company is not some sort of obscure sequel to Disney's Beauty and the Beast. (And where I got that idea, which I had for years, is completely beyond me.) Instead, it's Sarah Moon's third film, and a kind of global version of her second, Contriere l'oubli. Moon took the original camera manufactured by the Lumiere brothers, set some ground rules, and asked forty world-famous directors to shoot a fifty-two second scene with it. She then made a documentary incorporating behind-the-scenes footage with the short pieces themselves.

The result is a wonderful look into the mind of the filmmaker as he goes about the filmmaker's art. Each of the filmmakers does something completely different, and each answers the five questions put to him by Moon so disparately that the overall effect is one of a sort of comprehensive feeling about how films get made; one that no one director would subscribe to, but all embrace.

The short films themselves are directed by such luminaries as Costa-Gavras, Spike Lee, David Lynch, Liv Ullmann, Lasse Hallstrom, and many others who are easily recognizable; the trick was to get Moon, the relative neophyte, to create a wrapper that is the equal of the movies therein. And she did so, admirably. The is a fine little gem of a film, and well worth seeing. **** ½

What an intriguing idea. Take several well known directors used to working with today's state of the art equipment and see what they can do with the first practical motion picture camera. And to make it more of a challenge, give them less than a minute to work with. The results are naturally uneven. How could they not be? I won't name names but even the weakest entries have something to offer while the best lend credence to the old adage "less is more". The viewer will ultimately have to decide for him or herself which is which. As a longtime admirer of silent films I found the voiceovers during the segments rather distracting in the manner of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. One of the rules should have called for no comments made during filming to be allowed on the soundtrack. Let us supply our own voices to what we see. All in all an interesting concept that is well executed and worth seeing for any serious student of film. The DVD format is ideal for this type of omnibus film as you can easily select the segments that you want to see again and again. You should also check out the LUMIERE BROTHERS FIRST FILMS on DVD to see what was originally done with this remarkable piece of equipment.

Unfotunately, the talents of the cast are ill used. The story trys to be clever and sexually titallating, but mostly is just silly. The characters never seem real and the story less so. I am a big fan of both Ms. Kinski and Balk and wasting their talents in this tawdry thriller was very disappointing.

this movie sizzles with its great cast that spark and snap this thrilling, well thriller. Peter Coyote(Sphere) is a writer, Nastassja Kinski(Cold Heart, One Night Stand, Little Boy Blue and Cat People) is the one he writes to in prison and she meets him. Jeremy Piven(PCU, Judgment Night) is Coyotes friend, and Fairuza Balk(The Craft, The Island Of Dr. Moreau) is the girl infatuated with Coyote. the cast is great, no doubt, especially Piven(who is always great). you also got supporting cast members like Udo Kier(Blade, Barb Wire), Ernie Hudson(The Substitute, No Escape and Pauly Shore(In The Army Now, Son In Law). hang on

I started watching this movie with the assumpton that it was going to be very bad and not a good movie at all as I had heard from numerous other reviews and posts, etc. But I actually highly enjoyed this movie. It does have it's faults, yes, but still it is an entertaining movie to me and I think it could be to others too, if they would give it a chance. It does have a very low budget feel to it (not the faul of the director, Bradley Battersby, the music was changed without his permission and he was given only twenty days to shoot it or he would be fired) but these are all the fault of the producers who basically made everything that is cheesy about it that way. I have heard what the original plan for the movie was and that plan was very unique, but as mentioned above, it was not to be this way through not fault of anybody's except the producers. But again, a highy enjoyable movie with wonderful performances by Natassja Kinski and Peter Coyote (though he hams things up way too much). Good for a light laugh and some enjoyability.

this movie is a great waste of time. with its annoying litle rich brat kids and one of them kills their new best friend and Diggs incestigates with the worst soutern accent in the world, plus he shouldnt of been in this whole mess. with a bitchy cast and a nowhere story, this'll please those people with less than zero brains

One stupid movie. Very predictable murder whodunit.

It could be fun to make a top ten list of absurd moments. Just to start my favs are when the dead poor girl's mother threatens to kill the rich girl and when the sheriff questions a witness WHILE THE WITNESS IS SHOWERING among a dozen or so other bare bottomed studs.

Also the first lesbian experience SECONDS after two girls share stories of daddy molestation is priceless.

A poor girl who falls in with rich girls suffers an overdose, and the local sheriff wannabe is brought in to investigate. The rich girls are young and very attractive, especially when they're partying in their spaghetti-strapped dresses. And the poor girl, played by Mia Kirschner, is no slouch in the looks department herself with her dark features and jet black hair.

Mia eventually ingratiates herself with all of the friends; smoking, drinking, and doing drugs - and sharing dark secrets - like when she and Dominique Swain discover that both of them had been molested by their fathers when they were ten-years-old, which causes them to bond by exploring each other's mouths with their tongues, pawing at each other's clothes, and then falling asleep in each other's arms soon afterwards.

Mia then uncovers that Rachel True, a gorgeous fair-skinned black girl, is bulimic; and Mia offers to help her quit when she's ready. Rachel is touched, but rather than make it with Mia, she shares a deep soul kiss with Ms. Swain to continue an on-going relationship with Dominique (who is bisexual).

Dominique is on a roll, but the only girl among her circle of friends she doesn't kiss is Meredith Monroe, who plays Hadley, the story's main character - and main suspect! Meredith looks a lot like Natasha Henstridge ('Ghosts of Mars'), so watching her is definitely easy on the eyes. The most risque thing she does in the movie, though, is get naked (from the back) with her boyfriend in bed. But her performance as a seemingly innocent and helpful best friend is excellent.

Besides Meredith, another fine appearance is made by Taye Diggs as this Southern college town's interim sheriff. He approaches his task with sensitivity and determination, and it is through his eyes - and the flashbacks that he's told - that we get to enjoy the girls' divulged sensuality.

Taye solves the crime, and one of the girls is brought to justice. She ends up behind bars at the movie's end - while we see Dominique, asleep and naked in bed - and lying between both her own boyfriend and another girl! (Gee, I don't remember college life to be this good!)

This movie is well produced - and well paced - and Dominique (who I loved in 'Lolita') is definitely fun to follow. This would be a great film to share on a really hot date. Enjoy!

This movie is actually only worthy of 1 star. However, the Dolph-factor automatically adds another star to the tally. Without Dolph this movie would not be worth seeing @ all.

The film is about as low budget as low budget gets. The bad guys dress like [...], two white helicopters that look like they should be used for island tours are supposed to be helicopter gunships, and the film seems to minimize the use of just about everything.

The story is set in some small country where Caucasions and Asians live together. A despot has taken hold of the country and only a gorgeous princess can lead a succcessful revolution against his tyranny. Guess who gets to help the princess? That's right - our man Dolph!

Much like Arnie (COMMANDO) and Sly (RAMBO) Dolph is the only guy in the entire movie who can shoot straight. He escapes certain death with nary a scratch, even tho an entire army is firing at him at point-blank (ummmmm.......kind of challenges believability, but he IS Dolph!).

The redeeming factor of the film is that it does offer a couple of decent action scenes, the acting is decent and the soundtrack approaches semi-decent in a couple of places. If you collect action movies for a living, you may as well add this one to it. However, if you want to see a far better Dolph movie (and yet relatively unknown) I would recommend SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO.

this is a good movie. I'm a Dolph Lundgren fan, and it's nice to see Dolph back in action against his old enemy (remember Showdown in Little Tokyo with Brandon Lee? Same villan.). It made the movie special just to see the old Japanese villan again. There's a good story and some violent action in this one, also. The part of the movie that I enjoyed the most was the love interest between Dolph and the princess. Because Dolph is such a masculine guy, it's believable that any woman would fall for him, and the princess is definitely the hottest lady he has shot a picture with since Tia Carrera in 'Showdown in Little Tokyo'. I'm a little disappointed that the relationship with them was treated in a [rated PG way]. This is a Dolph Lundgren film! In his old films the babes always stripped down!...
This is why I'm disappointed there was less sexuality in this movie, especially with Rachel Shane as the princess. Her body is covered up the whole time.
The princess likes to stick fight at local bars in this movie and that isn't believable. She's not even breathing hard after the fights, and she pushed Dolph to the limit in a stick fight. That was going a bit too far. Women doing men things.

This is a very good movie and I agree with th person who said the princess was hot because she was. Anyway this movie has everything it needs a plot, good acting, good fight scenes, and a reasonable length. This is a great film so go check it out.
