An American science fiction directed by Charles Band, starring Demi Moore and Luca Bercovici.
A scientist has made a parasite and become infected with one of them. He is on the run from a government agent and stops at a boarding house in a small town to attempt completing his research. Local hooligans ambush him and are infected with the other parasite.
Everyone seems to hate this, but after the crap I've been watching, it wasn't too bad. It was poorly written, slow paced and badly acted. On the plus side, the editing was slow enough for me to see what was going on, I could hear what everyone was saying and it had a premise which the sparse plot could actually live up to. The fight scenes looked terrible and unconvincing. It was too obvious that these people were not hitting one another. Although better than the crap I watched before, this is still not a good movie. I rate it poor. You probably should not watch it.
An American courtroom drama directed by Rob Reiner, starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollak, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland.
A soldier at a military base may have been murdered. A team of three lawyers tries to defend the two soldiers who supposedly killed the other.
This was a pretty standard courtroom flick. The plot followed standard procedure like it was a military order. We had rain and night during difficult times and sunny days when things were going well. The characters fit into the Hollywood mold created for them like G.I. boots. The lawyers drank at the right times in the plot, the people in court got angry at the right times. The video... You get the idea. Everything was G.I., fit the mold and followed stereotypes carved in stone. I'm not saying that it was all bad, just extremely predictable. This was one of a pandemic of movies made in the late '80s and early '90s that are all courtroom dramas that color inside the lines, so to speak. Overall, yet another game of Lawyers & Lawsuits. I rate it tolerable because it didn't hurt to watch, but there was no originality.
An American drama thriller directed by Barry Levinson, starring Michael Douglas, Demi Moore and Donald Sutherland with music by Ennio Morricone.
A businessman at a technology company finds that an old girlfriend has been hired as his new boss. They have a meeting that is half sex and half violence and deal with the aftermath of it.
I just started a screenwriting course in school and the professor gave a quick outline of the plot of "every film ever made". I was following along with this and Disclosure did not deviate from it. Here is that outline:
Ordinary World: Heroes at home
Inciting Incident: Something different happens
Big Debate: Should the character act?
New Journey: Action is taken
Fun and Games: Character Development
Bad Guys Close In: Enemies approach the heroes
Big Reversal/Midpoint: plot twist, new story direction
False Victory/Defeat: Seems that the heroes are winning, but not really
Loss of Hope: Things look grim, more problems
New Path to Success: Victory, winning, happy ending
So I was not surprised by anything in the plot. The characters played their roles in it and were acted well. There were a few artsy camera shots thrown in here and there. Of course, being the '90s, we had the mandatory virtual reality sequence. I think that I've said enough to explain a good many things about film, cinema, movies and video here. I'll just rate this o.k. and be done with it.
A comedy horror by Dan Aykroyd, starring Chevy Chase, John Candy and Demi Moore.A car full of New Yorkers run a stop sign in a small town and get arrested. They are at the mercy of a corrupt judge who wants the driver to marry his daughter and to kill everyone else.This film was forgettable. The characters, plot, setting, style, pacing and production value were all mediocre. The picture is of Dan Aykroyd as the judge. I don't feel that I need to write much, so I'm rating this poor.
A thriller directed by Carl Schultz, starring Demi Moore.Signs of the apocalypse begin to happen and a pregnant woman has a strange man move in above her garage.The style was actually not bad. The characters were stereotypical though and I have specific questions about the plot. In the film, we find that the Guf (where babies' souls come from) is empty. The woman gives her life to save her child and everyone acts like everything's going to be cool. My question is did she refill that empty Guf that started all of this? Maybe they just didn't explain it well enough. I'm rating this o.k. If you're into shred metal, check out the Yngwie Malmsteen album by the same name.
