The Diary of Anne Frank, a review by Eric

The Diary of Anne Frank



I think it would be a very good movie to discuss if we were to give another go at our "Movie Analysis" attempt.  Although I believe this movie is most probably far far away from what really happened, it brings up many questions about how 2 families can live together in hiding for over two years, cramped up in a small loft that they can never leave and having to be totally silent for 8 hours every day.

Good movie.

Cliffhanger, a review by DJ Doena

Sylvester Stallone    ...    Gabe Walker
John Lithgow   ...    Eric Qualen
Michael Rooker   ...    Hal Tucker
Janine Turner   ...    Jessie Deighan
Rex Linn   ...    Richard Travers

Synopsis: The international thief Qualen captures a US government plane and tries to steal 100 million dollars in cash. The money is in three trunks but they get lost when the plane crashes in the Rocky Mountains. Fortunately the cases have location beacons but now they need the help of the mountain rescue to find them. Gabe and his former friend Hal are the unlucky ones to meet the gangsters and are forced to help them. But soon Qualen has to realize that it won't be that easy to get the money back because Gabe develops into a real PITA.

My Opinion: This movie hasn't much story and sometimes it doesn't make much sense. But it's a Stallone action movie, if one expects much story on has gone into the wrong movie. it has however great pictures of the Rockys and beautiful panorama shots. It's also interesting to watch them climb these basically vertical walls. To sum it up: It's a no-brainer action movie with a lot of Rocky Mountains imagery.

"Due South" marathon, a review by Rick

Witness
I liked this episode. I liked seeing Fraser in prison, and how even there his manners and politeness helped in the end. I also thought the scene where Ray and Fraser were discussing the movie was pretty funny

Ray "If it were a good movie it would be in color"  Sound familiar Pete?
