Movie Reviews of The President's Analyst

Movie Review: It seems oh, so current
Summary: 4 Stars

Released in the 1960s, this film is a satiric look at the 60s, at Cold War tensions, at secrecy, at psychiatry, at government, and a few other themes. Substitute the "global war on terror" and fits ever so nicely as a film for the 21st century.

Movie Review: Hilariously funny
Summary: 4 Stars

What a great movie. It is so funny and telling of its time. I love the scenes with the "average American family" - the guns, the judo, the son's Jr. Spy kit, the liberal jargon - with William Daniels ("Mr. Feeny" from Boy Meets World) putting in a great performance as the father of the family, Winn Quantrill. As many times as I've watched it I can't help but laugh out loud when the camera pulls up from the "hippy" scene in the grassy field when each of the assassins, in turn, have been killed - with Sydney (James Coburn) and the hippy chick "Snow White" (Jill Banner) totally oblivious. And of course there's the surprise discovery of who the real "bad guy" turns out to be - TPC. Hilarious movie!

Movie Review: One of the best funny movies about the sixties
Summary: 5 Stars

For 30 years this was my favorite movie. The plot would work today as well as it did then. You will never gues who the bad guy is. It has a whole lot of 60's/cold war stereotypes like short FBI agents. The world of undercover agents wants the presidents analyst. The analyst just wants dope and hot chicks as well as a centered chi. Watch it. You probably missed this and don't know what you are lacking. Typing this I chuckle going over some of the scenes.

Movie Review: That's my car gun. *snickers*
Summary: 4 Stars

I just think James Coburn is sexy. If you like the camp of the Flint movies, give it a try. It is not as delicious, feels more dated, somehow, not so iconic, but some good moments. Seeing lanky Coburn dressed as a wigged hippie banging a gong will give you a good long laugh.

Movie Review: Required reading for anyone in the Internet biz
Summary: 5 Stars

This film is a true classic - it captures a time, place, and mood with remarkable clarity, but moreover, it predicted the future with amazing prescience.

Everyone involved in the communications revolution should know about "TPC" and "Arlington Hewes".
