Mchale's Navy
Film Review April 25, 1997

Description: The term “brain-dead” flies to one's lips as a description for McHale's Navy, but that's letting the guilty parties off way too easy. True cretinism is morally neutral in that...

Description: Alamo Village, where John Wayne shot The Alamo, has lost the 93-year-old matriarch who kept the movie set and Western-themed park open for nearly 50 years
"...The area got its first taste of stardom in 1951, when Charlton Heston made a movie in the former cavalry fort in Brackettville. As mayor of the county seat of Kenny County, Happy lobbied hard to bring Jimmy Stewart, Ernest Borgnine, Dean Martin, Raquel Welch, Robert Duvall, and a long list of A-list projects to South Texas...."

I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
Film Review September 28, 2007
by Marjorie Baumgarten
Description: Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin wrote, directed, and stars in this endearing schlub-in-Chicago movie that features contributions from Sarah Silverman, Bonnie Hunt, and other comic performers.
by Marjorie Baumgarten
"...Best known as Larry David's manager and partner in sarcasm on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Garlin forges his own comic path here and the tone is decidedly gentler. Garlin plays a character named James who just wants someone to love and to love him back – and perhaps the title role in an upcoming remake of the Ernest Borgnine movie Marty (a movie that mirrors his own life but has been cast inscrutably with pop idol Aaron Carter in the lead)..."

Poseidon
Film Review May 12, 2006
by Marc Savlov
Description: A handful of talented actors checked their egos at the door in hopes of … something, but this Poseidon is a wash.
by Marc Savlov
"...Nothing approaching the unbridled acting prowess of Mark Wahlberg is on display here, however, and what is watchable – the giant rogue wave that capsizes the gargantuan pleasure-craft Poseidon, various and sundry explosions, waterlogged corpses bob-bob-bobbin' along – is so formulaic and poorly shot that it hardly bears viewing. (Come to think of it, James Cameron did a much better job, giant CGI wave included, nearly two decades ago in The Abyss.) Producer Irwin Allen's 1972 original, The Poseiden Adventure, at least had Shelley Winters and Ernest Borgnine to liven up the disastrous proceedings..."

Screens Review July 8, 2005
by Marjorie Baumgarten
Description: The 1975 film 'Hustle' is a great modern love story disguised as a neo-noir police procedural. Largely unappreciated at the time of its release, the situation has not improved greatly if we are to judge by this no-frills DVD release.
"...When a dead girl is found on the beach full of barbiturates and semen, it becomes the job of Gaines and his partner Louis Belgrave (Paul Winfield, in a hard-edged, contemporary turnabout from his then recent work in Sounder) to determine whether the death was murder or suicide. The investigation takes them through some of the seedier corners of L.A., whether it's the downtown office of the coarse and self-serving police liaison (Ernest Borgnine), the topless joint where the dead girl worked (managed by a slimy has-been played by Jack Carter), or the yacht of the smiling merchant of death Leo Sellers (played by Eddie Albert with a patina of cool that cloaks a rancid core in one of his great late-career villain roles)..."

Screens Review February 13, 2004
by Raoul Hernandez
Description: Subsequent to both The Warriors and Mad Max, yet predating Blade Runner by a year, Escape From New York laid the groundwork for John Carpenter and Kurt Russell's ensuing masterpiece, 1982's The Thing
"...Producer Debra Hill and production designer Joe Alves, in a second, more recent commentary (2001, pre-9/11), draw the parallel to Russell's send-up of John Wayne in Carpenter's hilarious Big Trouble in Little China, theorizing that both films are essentially Westerns. Subsequent to both The Warriors and Mad Max, yet predating Blade Runner by a year, Escape From New York, set in crime-infested 1997 when Manhattan island has become a walled federal prison, dispatches its squinty, tight-lipped gunslinger to save the president (a wonderfully buffoonish Donald Pleasence) from the baddies (Harry Dean Stanton, Adrienne Barbeau, Isaac Hayes) and "Cabbie" (Ernest Borgnine)..."

"...In a recent issue, the Chronicle made mention of Harry Knowles looking to bring back some of the older character actors, like Tarantino has done. May I suggest the likes of Harry Dean Stanton, Eli Wallach, Ernest Borgnine, George Kennedy, and Miss Angie Dickinson to name but a few..."

Description: Compelling but uneven omnibus film showcases 11 films by 11 international directors.

"...Like, there are three videos in this section and you thought we'd put Ernest Borgnine's mug here? As if! Alicia Silverstone is irresistibly charming in Clueless. Intense moments on foggy moors, decadent period costumes and stilted banter characterize most film adaptations of 19th-century novels..."
