Movie Reviews of Murphy's War
Movie Review: Murphy Got Screwed.
Summary: 5 Stars
A real favorite movie of mine, I'm really happy to see Murphy's War on DVD. ++++Spoilers++++ It is a shame for Murphy the way the end goes, and it will totally blow you away kinda like the jolt of watching the Bedford Incident ending had for me. But really, Murphy got a raw deal because those Nazi's deserved to die after all the atrocities they had done. Ok Ok they were following orders just kill the Captain I guess. Great moments of Murphy flying a seaplane and not knowing how to fly, the dropping the bombs dead on with wick fuses is really far fetched but for some reason I totally was into it and never questioned that till now. The only other thing I did notice right off was the modern sub used but thats totally understandable and its a pretty boat too. I know, I know, war is a bad thing, and I guess a heroic Murphy ending is very boreing so that wouldn't work. However don't forget England had Chamberlain who was the worlds darling for saving the world in 1939 or so and look what happened. Highly RecommendedMovie Review: a gem
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent. In a nutshell: merchant ship sunk at the mouth of the Orinoco river in Venezuela by German submarine during the closing days of WW 2.
Crew machine gunned as they attempt to escape. Sole survivor seeks retribution. Very realistic plot. Not so much the camouflage on the U-boat. Fantastic flying scenes (specially the 1st take off from the river by O'Toole) with a beautifully restored Grumman J2F Duck amphibian.Excellent photography. Despite being almost 40 years old, it's cinematic rhythm and suspense still hold very well, with the only exception of the opening scene.
Movie Review: Moby Dick in the Amazon!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this on Tv back in the early 80's and the ending made my youthful mouth drop, along with some of my foolish notions about revenge and war and things like that. Now, as an adult I see the resemblance to MOBY DICK and like this movie even more. Anyone who likes Peter O'Toole should get this; its got great locations and not only O'Toole but the great PHILIPPE NOIRET as well!Movie Review: Typically Brit
Summary: 5 Stars
Good story, good acting. Typically British, it forces you to think. The evil Germans murder survivors, but the Brit hero murders a crew of German submariners after the war is officially over. If you like your good guys and bad guys in black and white hats, the special effects full of mindless and gratuitous violence, gunplay and sex, the movie's not for you.Movie Review: Hugh Jass
Summary: 5 Stars
A classic struggle of good vs evil. A lone survivor becomes obsessed with destroying the engine of his ship's destruction and himself becomes destroyed by his obsession. Filmed on location in the fetid coastal area of (pre Chaves) Venezuela, it captures the feel of a deadly encounter in the tropics of the Southern Western Hemisphere.
