Movie Reviews of The President's Analyst
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: 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: Which cut is this?
Summary: 4 Stars
Loved this movie when I saw it many years ago - but the TV cut from the 1970s deletes a bunch of stuff and adds a long hippy commune sequence that was cut from the theatrical version. So, which version is this DVD?Movie Review: great music, over-the-top film
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a real 60's period piece, in both the good and bad senses of that term. On the debit side, the spy spoof plot is totally goofy and absurdist, perhaps overly so, and the movie jumps all over the place as if it were emulating (poorly) a psychedelic trip. On the plus side, it's got James Coburn, the dialogue is wacky and satirical, it's got a cleverly anti-Establishment thrust (the depiction of G-men as uptight midgets is a hoot), and the music is really great. Other reviewers focused on Barry McGuire, who plays the lead singer in a hippie band, but the real treat is the presence of his "back-up band," played by members of LA group Clear Light, one of the punkier and most hard rocking psychedelic bands of the era. The acid-in-the-punch scene with Clear Light is the high point of the film.Movie Review: not optimistic
Summary: 2 Stars
the vhs version runs 103 minutes according to imdb. amazon's listing for the dvd says 102 minutes. that doesn't sound like restored footage. they probably didn't bother to correct the music problem either. it's really too bad. this is one of my all-time favorite films. it would be 5 stars if they got it right.
