.Tales/Crypt Pr. Bordello starring: John Kassir, Dennis Miller, Erika Eleniak, Angie Everhart, Chris Sarandon directed by: Gilbert Adler January 05, 1999 Bordello of Blood is the second Tales From the Crypt movie, and I found it very enjoyable. Unlike the first movie (Demon Knight) this movie did not start out with the television show's opening. It opened more like a movie than an extra long episode. Bordello of Blood is the story of a down-on-his-luck private investigator (Dennis Miller) looking for a missing teenager. The search leads him to a funeral home that is a front for a bordello run by vampires. Miller's client tells him to drop the case but he really needs the case to succeed if he is going to get his license back. Miller investigates and plays a very savvy investigator who doesn't fall for anyone's lines and is not surprised by what he finds. Added to this is television ...

.Tale of Two Cities starring: Peter Cushing, Chris Sarandon, Barry Morse, Flora Robson, Nigel Hawthorne directed by: Jim Goddard September 08, 1993 . . .it was a good watch anyway. Chris Sarandon was outstanding in the roles he played of look-alikes Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton. He captured Carton's sardonic humor well, and evoked his melancholic fatalism and innate dignity with much pathos. A quite elderly Kenneth More put on a great performance as the officious but kindly banker, whose character provided much humorous dialogue. The character of Miss Pross, the sharp-eyed chaperone, was absolutely wonderful. I never expect a movie to follow a novel very closely -- books and films are two completely different art forms and cannot be translated one to the other with good effect. As the movie begins we see the words "Based on the novel by Charles Dickens." With those words we are ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Tale of Two Cities |

.Just Cause starring: Sean Connery, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Capshaw, Blair Underwood, Ed Harris directed by: Arne Glimcher February 01, 2000 A flat by-the-numbers who-do-it kind of mystery movie. The actors gave fine performances, given the script they had to work with. But the story lacks intrigues. Characters are not memorable. The action sequences are perfunctory. The major mystery this movie offers is why apparently the director was OK with all these shortcomings. Don't bother to try to guess ahead of the movie, as many would like to do with a mystery. This movie just isn't worth your effort. Otherwise in the end you might have the frustrating feeling that you've given the movie more thought than the filmmakers appeared to have done. >>See More Reviews & Details on Just Cause |

.Lipstick starring: Margaux Hemingway, Chris Sarandon, Perry King, Robin Gammell, John Bennett Perry directed by: Lamont Johnson May 29, 2001 The late Margaux Hemingway saw her movie career take a nosedive after the release of this film, while her co-star and little sister Mariel became the toast of the town. But to many cinephiles, she'll always be remembered as the woman in red holding one mean rifle. Margaux plays Chris McCormick, a top fashion model (no stretch at all, here, since she really was a top model at the time) who ends up regretting her decision of having innocently invited her sibling's music teacher (Chris Sarandon of "Fright Night" fame) to her apartment. While she cries rape (with the help of Academy award winner Anne Bancroft as her attorney) the judicial system, however, sees it differently. LIPSTICK is the ultimate B-movie extravaganza. Raw to the bone, it is avant-garde cinema with a glossy ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Lipstick |

.Slaves of New York starring: Bernadette Peters, Chris Sarandon, Mary Beth Hurt, Madeleine Potter, Adam Coleman Howard directed by: James Ivory That last review is not suprising to me...of course some people would be attracted to the way the movie looks, instead of what it preaches. "Slaves of New York" is actually poking fun at those who are shallow...it's not just about artists...or even New York for that matter...it's about how people treat each other in general. >>See More Reviews & Details on Slaves of New York |

.The Resurrected starring: John Terry, Jane Sibbett, Chris Sarandon, Robert Romanus, Laurie Briscoe directed by: Dan O'Bannon September 22, 1993 i didn't really like this movie.i found it boring for two thirds.not a lot happens.and then,once things start happening,the movie gets pretty sickening at times.i don't mean that in the "Saw"series kind of way.this is much different than that.to me,it was just too much.you'll have to watch it to see what i mean.i also thought the movie was kind of confusing at times,but that may be just me.i thought the acting was good,especially by Chris Sarandon as the main character/villain in the movie.i don't think the movie was badly done.the makeup effects,i thought were pretty good,just too disgusting.if you have a lot of patience to get through the slow parts,and you have a really strong stomach,you might like this movie.or maybe ...

.Let the Devil Wear Black starring: Jonathan Penner, Jacqueline Bisset, Mary-Louise Parker, Jamey Sheridan, Philip Baker Hall directed by: Stacy Title June 27, 2000 Hamlet set in the sleazy underworld of L.A. I saw half of this on cable and thought what the hell, So I bought it and was pleasantly surprised. The Acting is Top notch, Great Character actors Maury Chaukin,Phillip Baker Hall. and Mary Louise Parker all do a fine job. The Alas poor Yorik Scene works really Well. So if you like contemporary updates of the Bards work. Check this one out. 3 and 1/2 stars. >>See More Reviews & Details on Let the Devil Wear Black |
