: :Remember the dumbstruck, jaw-dropped expressions on 'Springtime for Hitler's' shocked opening-night audience in Mel Brooks's original film of The Producers? That will no doubt be your face through much of the two-and-a-half-hour running time of this infamous 1979 pornographic epic that was a (Penthouse) pet project of publisher Bob Guccione. That's not necessarily a bad thing. But don't take our word for it. Listen to Helen Mirren--yes, the Oscar-winning Queen herself--who stars as Caesonia, Caligula's third wife and 'the most promiscuous woman in Rome' (and in this film's salacious vision of Pagan Rome, that is saying something). In her very gracious, thoughtful and ...

:Description:Tom Cruise returns as Special Agent Ethan Hunt, who faces the mission of his life in 'Mission: Impossible III.' Director J. J. Abrams ('Lost',' 'Alias') brings his unique blend of action and drama to the billion-dollar franchise. :At the time of its release, Mission: Impossible III's box office was plagued by the publicity backlash against couch-jumping star Tom Cruise. It's too bad, because this third installment of the spy thriller franchise deserved a better reception than it got. First-time feature director J.J. Abrams (bigwig TV director/producer of Lost, Alias, & Felicity) proves more than able-bodied in creating a Mission: Impossible that's leaner and ...

Jarmusch’s lovingly askew view of humanity from the passenger seat makes for one his most charming and beloved films. :Jim Jarmusch's 1991 ensemble comedy turns a gimmick into a revelation. The story begins in Los Angeles one evening at 7:07 p.m. A talent agent (Gena Rowlands) gets into the back of a taxi ...
