Review of The Presidio (1988) by Jennifer A — 01 Apr 2006

[size=2]I'm beginning the rather lengthy task of entering into the database every film I have seen, at least those I have a decent memory of. Some may have the briefest of reviews while many will just have a number. Those films that I consider personal favorites and/or those that have some historical signficance I will add later when I have time for more lengthy reviews.

[b]Crimes of Passion[/b], directed by Ken Russell, is an erotic thriller stars Kathleen Turner as a sports designer who masquerades as a hooker. Anthony Perkins stars as a preacher with sins of his own.

[b]The Presidio[/b], directed by Peter Hyams, stars Sean Connery and Mark Harmon whom are investigating a murder at a military base.

[b]The Blue Lagoon[/b], directed by Randal Kleiser, stars Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins as two young lovers stranded together on a remote island. Generallt considered to be one of thw worst movies ever made for good reason...it's dreadful!

[b]Hamburger Hill[/b], directed by John Irvin, is a Vietnam war film about a group of marines trying to capture one hill. The main problem with this film is the lack of a central character. It's a pretty average war film. It does fetaure Don Cheadle in a very early role.

[b]Wired[/b], directed by Larry Peerce, is the biography of John Belushi. He deserved better than this wretched film.
