The Beverly Hillbillies - This is a movie based on the 1960's TV series. When Jed Clampett inadvertently discovers oil on his farm land in Arkansas, he becomes an instant millionaire. He brings the entire Clampett kin out to Beverly Hills. Being plain country folk they are prey to every money hungry con artist in the great big city.

House Springs - Having just been ditched by his fiance Driver, British actor Firth heads to the U.S. and falls for Graham. Then, wouldn't you know it, Minnie shows up. There are good acting jobs from one and all, although not enough laughs for a romantic comedy. The film is based on the book New Cardiff by Charles Webb. Cast includes Colin Firth, Heather Graham, Minnie Driver, Mary Steenburgen, Oliver Platt, and. 92 minutes, 2003.

Straight Time - Hoffman knocks heads with greasy parole officer Walsh following his release from penitentiary and begins a downhill skid. An immersing if not specifically differentiated melodrama that gets a real shot in the arm from incredible acting by the supporting cast. Cast includes Dustin Hoffman, Theresa Russell, Harry Dean Stanton, Gary Busey, Emmet Walsh, and Rita Taggart. 114 minutes, 1978.

Pretty Woman - A accidental meeting of a street hooker and a ruthless and extremely well-off businessman leads to a unique proposition. He employs her for the week, to attend some functions with him as an companion. He has no clue what he has gotten himself into. Starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.

House on Haunted Hill - Zillionaire Price offers group of individuals $100,000 each if they will live through a night in a spooky old mansion with a haunted history. Cast includes Vincent Price, Carol Ohmart, Richard Long, Alan Marshal, Elisha Cook, Carolyn Craig, and Leona Anderson. 75 minutes, 1958.

Sugar Town - Amusing mosaic of LA life characterizing a handful of characters whose lives merge - a musician hopeful who will do anything to get ahead, an uptight lone lady who allures the unsuitable men like a magnet, and a band made up of cleaned-up '80s rock megastars, to name a few. Made on a shoestring, although astute and well recognized; brilliant cast contains a number of actual musicians. Cast includes Ally Sheedy, Rosanna Arquette, John Taylor, Jade Gordon, Michael Des Barres, Lucinda Jenney, and Martin Kemp. 92 minutes, 1999.

Clue - Silly and insipid thriller based on the fashionable board game of the same name with all the familiar characters Mrs. Peacock, Colonel Mustard, Miss Red, et al. gathered for a murderous day in a Victorian mansion. Everyone tries enormously hard but there is nothing they can do to save this weak film. Cast includes Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Michael McKean, Martin Ponder, and Howard Hesseman. 87 minutes, 1985.

The Defiant - A fascinating tale of 2 fugitive convicts, one black and one white who are chained together as they escape from the penitentiary in the South. Excellent performances by Williams and Chaney as individuals they meet during the voyage. Academy Prize for screenplay by Harold Jacob Smith and Nathan E. Cast includes Tony Curtis, Sidney Poitier, Theodore Bike, Charles McGraw, Carnie Williams, and Lon Chaney, Jr. 97 minutes, 1958. - 18424
