A Few Choice Cinematic Film Overviews

By Isabella Kirby

With a shop near every neighborhood, video stores have been the most convenient way to get movies for years. High speed internet access has now made it possible to download movies right off a movie download site. Let's look at what you might find to watch using a movie download site.

Spider Man 2: Peter Parker is trying to go college, and be the superhero Spider Man at the same time, and it is putting a great strain on young Peter. On top of that his best friend Harry is out to get Spider Man (he has no idea that Peter is Spider Man). Meanwhile he must summon all his superhero skills to battle his new nemesis, Dr. 'Doc Ock' Otto Octavius.

Edward: Trenchant if unnecessarily vicious adaptation of the Christopher Marlowe play, written in 1592, in reference to the demise of the frankly gay British queen who denies his empress for a man lover. Regardless of 14th century setting, some characters wear modern-day clothes, and film works relatively well as a condemnation of 20th century gay-slamming. Not for all tastes, however by no means boring. Lennox, previously of the Eurythmics, appears in one scene harmonizing Cole Porter's "Every Time We Affirm Farewell. Cast includes Steven Waddington, Kevin Collins, Andrew Tieman, John Lynch, Dudley Sutton, Tilda Swinton, Nigel Terry, and Annie Lennox. (91 minutes, 1991)

The Night of the Iguana: Trudging story based on Tennessee Williams play; alcoholic prior clergyman Burton, a bus-journey guide in Mexico, is engaged with Kerr, Gardner, and Lyon. Dorothy Jeakins won an Oscar for her costumes. Cast includes Richard Burton, Deborah Kerr, Ava Gardner, Sue Lyon, Bypass Ward, Grayson Chamber, and Cyril Delevanti. (118 minutes, 1964)

Night of the Blood Monster: Lee is fine as Magistrate Jeffrey's who is a vicious judge presiding over "Bloody Assizes" after the Monmouth Revolt contrary to Baron James II, although film itself is monotonous and grisly. Cast includes Christopher Lee, Maria Schell, Leo Genn, Maria Rohm, and Margaret Lee. (84 minutes, 1970)

The Negotiator: Expert negotiator Danny Roman has been set up. He is being framed for killing his partner in the department. Feeling he has no other choice, he takes some very specific hostages, and requests a very specific negotiator. The clock is ticking and Danny must act fast in order to prove his innocence.

Malice: This is a complex intrigue thriller. When Dr. Jed Hill performs an emergency surgery on Tracy Safan, who is having abdominal pains, he removes more than he should during the surgery. Accusations and threats of lawsuits fly, but there is even more going on here than it seems.

Payback: Porter and Val, two thieves pull of a nice job. Val double-crosses Porter by taking his money, and his girl. Then he then shoots him, and leaves him for dead. Porter isn't dead, and now it's time for payback.

Cruel Intentions: Kathryn and Sebastian, brother and sister through marriage, begin to play a very cruel game. It starts when Kathryn's boyfriend Court dumps her. To get back she asks Sebastian to sleep with Cecile, Courts new girl, who is still a virgin. After that he sets his sight on a tougher target, Annette, who has said in Seventeen Magazine that will stay a virgin until married. Kathryn thinks it is impossible so a bet is made. If Sebastian wins, Kathryn will have to sleep with him.

The Break Up: Jennifer Anniston (Brook) and Vince Vaughn (Gary) star in this romantic comedy. After a fight they decide to break up. The catch is neither will move out of the apartment.
