Michael (Nicolas Cage), an injured Marine Corps veteran travels from Texas to Wyoming in search of a job working on oil rigs.Finding himself destitute when his only prospect falls through, he stumbles into a job intended for another man, and takes it, before realizing that the “job” is a murder-for-hire in…

What’s this all about? Honeymoon in Vegas is a romantic comedy about an ill-fated pair of lovers who decide, on a whim, to run off to Vegas to get married, and complications ensue, primarily in the form of James Caan’s scheming. Wild hijinks follow. The movie is basically an escalating series of funny, well-conceived setup…

What’s this all about? Zandalee is a work of soft-core pornography that tells the story of several trashy, but somehow also pretentious New Orleans residents who have problems that I don’t care about. Seriously, though, it’s the story of “Thierry,” a former brooding poet who is now a brooding telecom executive, who is married to…

What’s this all about? Oh, man. Here we go. There’s a lady who looks like “Pinky” from the Beauty School Dropout number in Grease, who can fly, and sings a bunch of songs. A little person tries to saw through a telephone pole. A topless lady dry humps an old Dodge, and a skinned deer…

What’s this all about? Never on Tuesday tells the story of two horny males of indeterminate age (I’m guessing early college-age, but this is never made clear), who accidentally crash their car into the car of an attractive young woman while travelling on a remote stretch of desert highway. The three characters try to effect…

What’s this all about? Cher plays a widow whose name doesn’t matter. She agrees to marry a man that she doesn’t love; then almost immediately has sex with that man’s brother. Then a bunch of things that I feel like might be Italian-American stereotypes happen. Then there’s a very brief bit of hijinks, and everything…
