An entertaining western.......2007-07-03

The Train Robbers is one of those straightforward old-fashioned good guy vs bad guy westerns. A movie with a basic plot that doesn't take itself too seriously. What is noticeable right off is that there are very few actors in this movie, eight, and everything revolves around their relationships. There is the straight shooting Lane (John Wayne) who gathers his old friends Grady (Rod Taylor) and Jesse (Ben Johnson) to restore Mrs. Lowe's (Ann-Margret) honor. She doesn't want her son growing up under the dark cloud of his dead father being a train robber. Rounding out the team is Ben (Bobby Vinton), Sam (Jerry Gatlin), and Calhoun (Christopher George). Their job is ride into Mexico, recover $500,000 in stolen gold locked in the boiler of an old locomotive, return it to Wells Fargo, collect the reward money, and set things right for Mrs. Lowe. Trailing along behind them all is a mysterious rider (Ricardo Montalban). The remaining movie's cast are just back ground minglers in the set. They mainly consist of the train engineer, the bartender, the Mexicans trying to rescue their jailed friends, and the cannon fodder bad guys. They are seen but have no speaking roles.

This is a very simple movie in many ways. However, it does a very good job in developing the friendship and camaraderie between good old friends. This combined with beautiful scenic shots and set pieces make for a light-hearted fare with no dark undertones or jarring side trips. Rounded out with comedy and action, this movie certainly demonstrates that less is more.

While not the best western that John Wayne has starred in, this movie does succeeds in many ways. Formated in wide-screen with few extras on the DVD, this western is well worth adding to the John Wayne collection

Ann Margaret Gets What Ann Margaret Wants.......2006-02-09

I must admit that Ann Margaret has always been a favorite of mine. That probably, make that certainly, affects my judgment of this film. It is not one of John Wayne's best. I still like it. Only part of that is because I like Ann Margaret.

John Wayne plays the leader of a group of gunfighters. These are not ordinary gunfighters. They are not in it for the "glory". They just kind of drifted into it after the civil war. Now, John Wayne and his group find themselves working for a woman, Ann Margaret. She says that her dead husband once robbed a train of half a million dollars. The money was lost and she knows the location. She wants to recover it so that she can turn it in to raise the stigma from her son. She intends to pay the gunfighters with the reward money for turning in the gold.

The would-be rescuers of stolen gold have some problems. They have to track down the train and they are in turn being tracked by a lot of bad guys who want to steal the gold.

John Wayne handles the situation with his typical character. He is honest and protective of those who are with him. He has his own moral code and will not be swayed from it. He would rather do things the hard way if that means maintaining his ideals.

His biggest challenge comes from Ann Margaret. She is strong willed but sweet. Everyone likes her and wants to protect her. They are even willing to give up their share of the reward to help her. She's got them wrapped around her little finger.

Its fun and action packed but it is not his best. Still, watching Ann is lots of fun.

One of the worst of Wayne's.......2005-05-10

Although it is great to see Wayne seeing him is about the best in this film. I did not really care about these people riding left and right. It has to be something about the story, because the actors are a great bunch of people. I expect Wayne always to be real hero, but here it is not so. Take any other Wayne, even those of the 30's rather than this one.

Underrated western.......2005-05-04

I would considered Train Robbers to be one of John Wayne's underrated western movies he have made during his post True Grit era. While its not as good as some of his earlier ones, it probably the best one he made between True Grit and the Shootist (next to Rio Lobo). The Train Robbers seem to be a throw back to John Wayne's older westerns. The story developed slowly but with a purpose as the characters get ironed out. Ann-Margaret plays widow trying to restored family honor by getting the half million dollars worth of gold back to the train company from which her husband stole it from. John Wayne and his gang tries to helped but the usual bad guys, the late husband's gang gets into the way. Its an adventure all the way.

John Wayne does his usual entertaining self but he is superbly supported by Rod Taylor and especially Ben Johnson. It was also a pleasure to watch Christopher George as well before his illness took his life prematurely. Key element of any John Wayne movie was his interactions with his co-stars and they all blended in perfectly. The humor was good and some of the one liners proves to be classic. Ann-Margaret does quite well but she sounds little phoney from the beginning and that was bit of a give away as we reached to the end of the movie. At least for me, the ending didn't surprised me as much as it did for some people.

The movie weaknesses lies in the fact that John Wayne and his gang seem to be just too goody two shoes to be true. The bad guys were just props in the movie and their job was to get shot. They don't seem to be very smart bad guys either. Making banzai charges seem to be a trademark tactics to make the good guys victorious. Bobby Vinton and Jerry Gatlin were virtually wasted in their roles. In some ways, they seem to be no more then the bad guys although they don't get shot!

The DVD version of Train Robbers seem to be well presented. I owned a regular TV so I would say from that point that the picture is clear and the sound proves to be crisp on my Dolby system. The DVD movie come in its widescreen format. I have to admit that this was the first time I saw this movie in widescreen since 1973 when it first came out. There isn't much of a special features. One feature got several former stuntmen who worked with Wayne, singing their praises of him. Second feature is a promotional job for the movie. Then you got your trailers feature. That is just about it. Pretty slim pickings if you asked me.

Overall, a pretty entertaining and enjoyable film despite of its inherited flaws. I would give it a 3.5 stars if I had a choice. John Wayne fans should be highly please with this movie. It should please most western fans and might be mildly entertaining for causal viewers.

Great movie, but disappointing DVD........2007-03-16

In 2006, Disney released DuckTales The Movie: Treasure Of The Lost Lamp onto DVD for the first time in region 1 areas. However, instead of giving it a wide release, Disney decided to offer it exclusively through the Disney Movie Club. Later that same year, it also became a potential reward through their new Disney Movie Rewards program. Although some of Disney's DMC/DMR exclusives have since gotten wide releases, DuckTales The Movie has yet to do that.

The disc they've released is rather lightweight. Although it's still a steal for Movie Rewards members, the $19.99 it demands on the Movie Club seems about $5-$10 too high. (This isn't counting the prices poor suckers are paying for it on eBay or Amazon Marketplace, not knowing all that you need to do is join the Disney Movie Club to buy it.) The only bonus feature is a game that you won't play more than once. That's it. Not a trailer, not a featurette, not a cartoon featuring Huey, Dewey, and Louie - nada. It's not a matter of space - on a DVD-5 disc, you have room for at least 4.35 GB of data. This DVD only uses 3.31 GB. Disney, you COULD have put a little more on here.

However, the movie's transfer is very well done. There's occasional heavy grain, dirt, scratches, and the like, but for the most part, the transfer is nice and clean. And the 2.0 Dolby Digital Stereo track gets the job done.

All in all, I can't say that you shouldn't get this DVD if you have a chance. Just having the movie on DVD is worth the price you pay, but it would have been nice if Disney had treated us to a few more bonus materials on this DVD besides a game that's fun, but likely won't be played more than once.

In the year 2007, there will be two kinds of people: those who have seen Ducktales the Movie, and those who have not (waka waka waka). We saw this croaky lemur of a film for Garrett's 8th, and my ex-husband, the kids and I were all wearing our Launchpad bandanas as we walked into the theatre. Even before the theme song had come to an end, the whole gang was completely woo-ooh-ed. Rivetting plot with a truly unexpected turn at the end of this "genie-ous tail". As a parent of 4 ducklings myself, I can vouch that this DVD will keep the family quacking from start to finish.

Talk About Underrated.......2006-09-22

What a great movie this is. Actioned packed right from the start, quick-moving plot, and of course the ever-lovable Scrooge McDuck, just as you remember him.

Scrooge searches for a lost Arabian treasure, but is ignorant that the most valuable part of the treasure is an old oil lamp. (Of course you know where this is going.) Scrooge's niece and nephews discover a genie inside the lamp with the power to grant wishes. The genie advises the kids to wish for small things, because big wishes lead to big trouble. The niece Webby ignores this advice, and wishes for her stuffed animals to come to life. Scrooge sees all this magic happening and finally discovers he has a magic lamp.

The Genie tells Scrooge he better be careful not to attract too much attention, because an evil immortal villain with a magic talisman is also seeking the lamp. The crafty villian finds Scrooge after only one wish, and gets ahold of the lamp after Scrooge gets it confused with a gravy boat. All heck breaks loose and Scrooge loses all his money, but he gets the lamp back later and becomes rich again. Then he fixes it so no more genie wishes will ever be granted by making the genie into a real live boy. The lamp falls apart and the genie plays cops and robbers with Scrooge's nephews, while the evil villan is...well...we see him falling from the sky somewhere, but he can't die, so I guess he ended up okay too.

The sad thing about this movie is it's so overshadowed by Disney's Aladdin. There really isn't much difference between the two movies, except for a giant money bin. The only advantage Aladdin has over the Ducktales movie is its outstanding songs. I highly recommend this DVD for Ducktales fans, but if you've seen Aladdin already, the Ducktales movie will seem awful similar.

I find it kind of sad that the Ducktales movie ultimately ended up being nothing more than a practice sketch for the later Aladdin film. It really is underrated.

Despite the critical drubbing and box-office failure of King Solomon's Mines (1985), Cannon Films released this sequel two years later, again featuring Richard Chamberlain as adventurer Allan Quatermain and a pre-Basic Instinct Sharon Stone; the result is marginally better than its predecessor, and may please "bad film" fans. This time around, Quatermain is seeking his brother (Martin Rabbett), who has disappeared while on an expedition to locate a legendary white tribe in Africa. Quatermain's search leads him to the title city, which is controlled by evil Henry Silva (overacting with relish). Director Gary Nelson and returning writer Gene Quintano achieve a few more half-hearted laughs here than in its predecessor, and the cast, which includes James Earl Jones and Cassandra "Elvira" Peterson, do their best with the material, but this can't hold a candle to the 1937 and 1950 film versions of King Solomon's Mines. --Paul Gaita

A sequel to MINES.......2007-06-17

KING SOLOMON'S MINES and ALLAN QUATERMAIN AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD are typically over-shadowed by the bigger budget INDIANA JONES trilogy. There is good reason for that; the IJ movies are the apex of the action movie genre. However, that's not a good reason NOT to watch these two flicks.

The films detail the exploits of a hero named Allan Quatermain (Richard Chamberlain) and his girlfriend / fiancee Jessie (Sharon Stone). Together they make up a sort of Indiana Jones character as he is an adventureman while she is a scholar / philologist.

The two films lead them to exotic places where they must fend off natives as well as bad guys who are out to kill them. THE LOST CITY OF GOLD also features James Earl Jones as a friend of Allan's who joins them in their adventure.

The lost city of gold itself seems to be @ least loosely based on the mythical Eldorado which Voltaire made so famous in his CANDIDE. I realize that Eldorado is South America while this city is supposedly in the middle of Africa, but the general legend is roughly the same.

If adventure movies are your thing, then these two belong on your shelf of DVDs. Yes, they are somewhat low budget and the monsters in them are not particularly convincing. And, yes, there are some aspects about the final battle that are a bit hokey. However, that is not really the "point." These movies are FUN! The soundtracks are very good and we also get to see Sharon Stone in the prime of her beauty. What more could you ask for? Huh?

Great fun and adventure.......2007-01-28

The charactors Kept me laughing and on the edge of my seat. And Richard Chamberlain is plain hot.

A throwback to the bad old days.......2006-03-05

Once upon a time somebody released a movie called Raiders of the Lost Ark, which did very well at the box office. There was a scramble to cash in on its success, and so, some Hollywood types decided to re-make Rider Haggard's King Solomon's Mines with Richard Chamberlain and the relatively unknow Sharon Stone. It wasn't a bad movie, but it was no masterpiece either. As the making of the movie progressed, Miss Stone's garments kept shrinking in the wash. The makers, realising that this might save the box office receipts decided to accelerate the trend, and, halfway through one scene her Bombay bloomers miraculously transformed themselves in to hot pants.

Subseqently, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was released and was a hit, to they released a sequel to King Solomon's Mines called Allan Quartermain and the Lost City of Gold, with the same cast as before, to cash in again.

Now you know that any movie with Lost City of Gold in the title is going to be a stinker, but will be saved by the continuing shrinking of Miss Stone's garments and the presence of bikini clad Amazons. Unfortunately, two things went wrong. One, Miss Stone's contract had a fully clothed clause in it and she remains overclad. Two, they sent the bloke who does the flower arrangements out to hire the bikini clad Amazons and he returned with a lot of his similarly inclined male friends clad in white pajamas instead. Result: insufficient crumpet!

They borrowed certain elements from Temple of Doom. Sharon Stone screams more than Kate Capshaw. There is a roller coaster ride through underground caverns, this time in a canoe instead of a mine cart. There are hapless native slaves in a mine and a lava pit for the sacrifices.

Otherwise the movie is a throwback to an earlier era of B movie making. In those old jungle movies, the blacks were in it to:
a. Shout menacingly and throw spears,
b. Provide the corpses, and.
c. Provide the comedy relief, unless there was a monkey called Cheeta.
In this movie there are:
a. blacks who shout and throw spears,
b. five Ashari warriors who play the part of the five green bottles sitting on a wall (Somebody actually says: "Oh, look! We've lost another Ashari."), and,
c. there is James Earle Jones providing the unintended comedy relief, in what is easily the worst performance of his otherwise distinguished career. Tarzan isn't in this one so somebody has to substitute for the monkey and James got picked.

There is also a beautiful princess. She is a goodie, so she is blonde. She has an evil sister, who is, naturally, brunette. So is the evil, if somewhat unkempt, high priest. In old westerns you could tell who the goodies and the badies were by the colour of their hats, but this isn't a western, so we have to rely on hair colour. There are no injuns either, so the blacks attack the fort. Oops, I mean lost city.

Much of the middle of the movie ended on the cutting room floor to keep it short, so the climactic bit doesn't make much sense, but don't worry, you can watch the trailer and see the missing bits. In fact, if you don't watch the trailer you won't see Dicky Chamberlain rescue the slaves or understand why the fort (sorry, city) is attacked.

In summary, this is a rather old fashioned jungle B movie. It's not terribly good, but if you are supposed to be mowing the lawn, and it is raining, this will get you out of the housework and give you a laugh or two. Some of the laughs will even be intentional.

Considering the many great films that have not made it on to DVD yet, that this boring and mind melting nonsense has made it is beyond belief.
Winner of the most boring historical "action-adventure" film set in Africa award, with Sharon Stone taking the honors for worst actress is said category.
The Kings Solomons Mines film is actually pretty good, the equal to the Indiana Jones films.
Since I love the genre, and since I liked the first film, this may be most horrific sequel I have ever had the painful displeasure to witness.

SILLY, SWEET, ALMOST NAUGHTY FUN WITH TEASER JANE.......2005-08-03

I was initially attracted by the old fashioned, pin-up style poster for JANE AND THE LOST CITY (Anchor Bay) and assumed the movie to be a grade Z exploitation. Instead, I was surprised to find a sweet and silly lightweight farce from 1987 based on the popular comic strip in London's Daily Mirror that began in the early 30s.

During World War II, Jane thrilled readers as she battled Nazis using her bravery, innocence and her silky, French underwear which was "accidentally" exposed on a regular basis.

In this adventure, condensed from comic strip elements, Jane and her cohorts the Colonel and Tombs are on the trail of a lost city hiding a huge diamond cache that could help win the WW II for the allies Can Jane prevail against the dreaded Leopard Queen? And will she be able to keep her clothes from being ripped off?

Rated: PG. Genre: Period Comedy. 92 Minutes. Starring: Kirsten Hughes, Sam Jones, Maud Adams, Jasper Carrot, Robin Bailey, Graham Stark. Director: Terry Marcel.

A hidden Gem.......2000-01-30

I recently found "Jane and the Lost City" by accident at my local video rental shop. I thought it looked junky and camp so I rented it. What I got instead was a super mellow rendition of the world war two daily mirror comic strip "Jane" which basically concerned the lead character Jane and her cohorts the Colonel and Tombs the butler "confounding the Nazi's at every turn" by pure dumb luck. During this process Jane keeps getting her clothes torn off (to lingerie level) by a variety of unlikely means. In other words, a very silly operation. The film is so mellow that if you need something to go to sleep in front of this will do nicely, allowing you to wake up occasionally and see more lingerie and hear more silly dialogue. I watched "Jane" twice in 24 hours and liked it very much. Very good trash indeed.

Waiting for Pirate Kids II.......2006-06-02

I watched this movie since it was filmed on location in my home state of North Carolina. I wasn't expecting much because I knew it had not been released in the theaters, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much movie the director got out of his budget and how much performance he got from his young talent. The youthful actors in the movie who foil adult pirates act like real kids - not some version of adolescence played by some spoiled Hollywood style of child actors trying to play real kids. If you have young kids (say under 13) who have active imaginations about being heroes, finding treasure, etc., get this movie and play it for them. You can't go wrong. No sex, no cursing, no real violence - this is a movie your kids will like and one that the adults can trust will not be sneaking in something they don't want their young'uns to see or hear.

I hear that Pirate Kids II is almost ready for release. I'll be getting that one too.

Aye, Aye.......2005-12-03

A new take on pirate movies you say? With modern day sensibilities and some really likeable child stars you say? Aye Aye I say.

Pirate Kids operates under some very different pretenses. The movie is not a swashbuckling high seas adventure in any sense. It's not a rollicking ride filled with explosions and death at every turn. It doesn't take place in olden times like so many of this genre.

It DOES however deliver on a very inventive treasure hunt with villains of a caliber more akin to that of a cheesy Disney movie than that of a serious swashbuckling adventure. It also has lots of heart, and tons of fun along the way. It's an enjoyable and fun film for all ages that just goes to prove you don't need a billion dollar budget and mindless special effects to have a great movie that will even keep the interest of the hardest to please kids.

The Greatest Children's Movie of ALL TIME!! says my niece!.......2005-04-04

While the budget is obviously low, the director uses every available resource to tell the story. My three year old niece laughed until she cried at times, and cheered with excitement at other times. I recommend this film to any family looking for a fun-filled family night!!

attention getter.......2005-02-15

I have children who love to play pirates and search for buried treasures now. This movie has inspired a whole new adventure for them other than video games! Even the language has changed and they now are quoting lines from the movie. It does not take a high budget film to grab the attention of children. This film grabs their attention and they want to watch it over and over again. When is the next one coming out!

Anything With Ross Hagen And Robbie The Robot Will Be Excellent, I'm Sure..........2006-12-22

This is a cheapie starring legendary B-movie icon Ross Hagen as a master spelunker, scream queen Michelle Bauer as a "cave bunny," and Sybil Danning as an alien queen. The plot is almost unbearably silly: some explorers and scientists go on a trek to the center of the Earth, where they discover a land of luscious prehistoric cave bunnies who can't speak a word, but who have crafted rather nice bikinis for themselves. The cave bunnies are entangled with a group of underground mutant cannibals (I never knew that when you roasted a live human female on a spit that you left her swimsuit on, removing only the jeans...) and the three parties spend the first half of the film chasing each other around the caves until a laser-wielding Robbie the Robot turns up to try to stop the fight, though he is defeated by the makeup mirror in a woman's compact. (Really. Don't ask.)

Eventually the explorers plus cave bunny Bauer emerge from the cave in (of course) a land that time forgot featuring an evil, but busty alien queen, Sybil Danning, in the most ludicrous vehicle I have seen in a long time. From then on there is a three way struggle featuring the explorers, the Queen and her minions, and stop motion dinosaurs clearly lifted from another movie (I believe they are from the same source as was seen in the altogether more entertaining "Galaxy of the Dinosaurs.") They chase each other around the desert, wrestle, and encounter a volcano (more stock footage) before ultimately carjacking the Queen's vehicle, blowing it up in a cave, and finding themselves free on the other side of the cave with millions worth of diamonds they discovered in the desert. Confused? You will be.

This is essentially low-budget monster movie mayhem, and as such is camp of the highest order. It is stupid, but cheesily fun. I recommend it only to people who like campy, trashy mindlessly silly pictures starring yesterday's favorites from the B-movie circuit. The DVD has several extras including a commentary, and a sometimes (though mostly not) amusing introduction from Director Fred Olen Ray; this is part of his "Nite Owl Theater" series, which I hope he continues in the same spirit of Joe Bob Briggs. The drive in will live forever!

What more could you want?.......2006-07-16

This movie has everything: lost underground "civilisations", cave mutants, bikini clad cave bunnies, Barbeque Girl, Robbie the Robot (back after all these years with a new head and available for rent, cheap), dinosaurs, a spaceship, topless catfighting, swordplay, laserbolts, stock footage of a volcano and Sybil Danning bounding about in, and almost out of, very tight leather. It just keeps rollicking along.

Who cares if it doesn't have a believable plot, a good script or decent acting? If you want a decent laugh listen to the director's commentary and the interviews. Shot in about six days on virturally no budget, nobody took this seriously, and neither should you.

The eye-candy keeps improving as the movie progresses, too. Somebody in Hollywood must have made a fortune making bikinis for movies like this. And Sybil Danning, almost busting out, bounds gleefully around the set, swinging a sword, glowering imperiously down her nose and trying not to laugh as she delivers her lines. Sybil, the Mistress of the Master Race (she is Austrian) plays the Alien Queen. (In this one they didn't let her carry a whip, but at the bequest of the other women on the set she punched out the leading actor.) She is tall, athletic, gorgeous and sexy, which makes her one of my favourite actresses. Who cares if she didn't have to act? I've seen her act in other movies, but in this one, she just doesn't have to.

If you want a movie with reasonable T&A, a fast pace, a bit of a laugh and which requires no use of the grey matter at all, I recommend this. If you want a good movie, forget it.
