Oscar

1991 farce starring Sylvester Stallone, Peter Riegert, Tim Curry, Marisa Tomei, Chazz PalPalminteri, Harry Shearer.

John Landis directed this farce buoyed by stellar cast.

You may not be inclined to check out a comedy starring Stallone but everyone shines in this one.

30's gangster Spats Provolone promises his father ( a cameo by Kirk Douglas) to go straight but complications arise. Mistaken identities, misplaced suitcases, all add to the mix.

Look for Tim Curry giving Stallone elocution lessons, Tomei adorable as spoiled daughter, Riegert doing his best Bugs Bunny, Palminteri as a dim-witted henchman, Harry Shearer as one of the Fannuci Brothers tailors ( "Is not a suit...is a Fannuci")

Definitely worth a look for the great job this cast does with wacked out characters and situations

Zombieland

Oh, the joys of indiscriminately blowing away flesh eating zombies!

2009 film from director Ruben Fleischer stars Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson.

Learn the rules of survival first then go on a road trip across country as Eisenberg seeks his parents, Stone looks for Playland amusement park, and Harrelson searches for a Twinkie...all trying to survive in a world gone crazy with zombies.

Great fun, funny...look for a great cameo by Bill Murray as...well, Bill Murray.

Pineapple Express

2008 film directed by David Gordon Green stars Seth Rogen, James Franco, Gary Cole.

Slacker process server witnesses a murder and has to go on the run accompanied by his weed dealer.

Very funny if you like stoner films...I do. Rogen and Franco are a 21st century Cheech and Chong.

Hysterical ending...all shot up and they go to the diner for breakfast before going to the hospital.

Adventures of Robin Hood

Forget Russell Crowe and Kevin Costner, this is the definitive Robin Hood.

Adventure, suspense, comedy, this has it all from Friar Tuck and Little John to great swashbuckling action.

Not to be missed.

Key Largo

Bogart and Bacall, 1948, also stars Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore. Directed by John Huston.

Not as much heat as "To Have and Have Not" but interesting nonetheless.

War vet traveling through Florida stops at hotel owned by the father and sister of a war buddy who never made it back. Complications arise when gangster takes over the off-season hotel just before a hurricane strikes.

Adaptation of the Maxwell Anderson play.

Chemistry between the stars is evident but supporting characters make this one something to watch.

Look for Jay Silverheels ("Tonto") in a bit part.

Experiment in Terror

1962 suspense film stars Glen Ford, Lee Remick, directed by Blake Edwards.

Gritty, tense movie about woman being extorted. FBI man Ford is on the case.

Interesting not just for atmosphere aided by Henry Mancini music but also for the fact that Edwards was mainly known for comedies. Yet he shows an adept hand at directing this chiller.

Worth a look.

Romeo is Bleeding

Gary Oldman and Lena Olin star in this Baz Luhrmann film from 1993. Definitely cool.

Noir atmosphere prevails in story of a crooked cop who is ordered to kill a VERY sexy hitwoman. Over the edge performances drive this dark tale. Not to everyone's taste but interesting and different.
