Movie Review: brian de palma shows he does have some talent
Summary: 4 Stars

after "carrie" brian de palma chose this esp thriller and in back to back movies showed that he was really talented after all.
the fury starts out as spy kirk douglas and son andrew stevens are getting ready to leave the middle east for america. john cassavetes is a family friend and douglas's boss who shows up to eat with them when terrorist attack the resteruant they are eatting at and appear to kill douglas. really it is the plan of cassavetes to take stevens,because he has very high powers of esp,and train him to be a weapon for the goverment.
as they leave we learn douglas is alive and now he starts a search for his son and a run from cassavetes men at the same time.(even here he pulls out his hitchcock double chase card,but uses it very well here). enter amy irving as a girl with the same powers and a link of sorts to stevens and now douglas has to teens to save. filled with de palma's little touches(slow motion action scene,blood from everywhere,great camera angles,and every trick he has to let you know that this is a` "de palma" movie. and the end puts a whole new meaning to the phrase "go to hell". check it out !!!

Movie Review: The Supernatural made to order.
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a very well done movie for the time that it was filmed. We didn't have the superlative special effects of ILM to enhance this movie so we have to depend on the acting ability of the cast. Kirk Douglas, a young Amy Irving, Charles Durning, Carrie Snodgress, John Casssavetes and of course Andrew Stevens. The cast alone should entice you to see this one. Without going into too much of the plot, yes a horror/thriller movie can have a plot. Kirk Douglas has been searching for his son played by Andrew Stevens, in order to get him back from a nasty bunch of folks at a government run facility for especially gifted children with extraordinary mental abilities. Lots of action, suspense filled, a joy to watch Andrew and Amy when they both must have been just out of their teens. Portions of this movie, especially at the end are not for children or preteens, if you don't want them up all night. But for the true horror/suspense fanatic this movie is right up your alley. Buy it and you will not be sorry you did!!!

Movie Review: The perfect movie for a drunken binge
Summary: 4 Stars

You already know the plot, so I'll get right to the meat of it. "The Fury" is one of the coolest De Palma movies there is. I first saw this movie on TNT when Joe Bob Briggs did a show called Friday night Monstervision. He did drive-in totals, and I'm sure those totals would help you now.
This movie has: 23 dead bodies. 1, full-torso body explosion. 1 car wreck with crash and burn. 1 boat wreck with crash and burn. 1 car wreck with bloody civilian casualty. 1 former Playmate turned inside out.
Hey, the movie sold me with those and it got better from there. How can you resist a movie where a bad guy has no use in one of his arms. Especially when a character asks what happened to that guy's arm and Kirk Douglas cooly replies, "I killed it. With a machine gun." Now that's entertainment.

Movie Review: B-movie plot redeemed by A+ visuals
Summary: 4 Stars

If you've seen _Scanners_ or _Firestarter_, you can probably guess what happens when shadowy government agencies and telekinetic wunderkinds mix. At times, the story and the dialogue are laughably stupid, but director Brian DePalma's considerable talents bring the quality up a notch. Also, John Cassavetes turns in one wicked performance as an evil government operative. Rivers of gore and DePalma's bold camera moves make this one more disturbing than you'd expect.
