The Bodyguard (1992)


A former Secret Service agent takes on the job of bodyguard to a pop singer, whose lifestyle is most unlike a President's.

Pure schlock solely construed as a showcase for its two stars, who are indeed the only ingredient that makes this movie watchable.

Halliwell (no star): "Predictable mix of song, romance and action  that found surprising favour at the box-office."

Maltin**1/2: "Overblown dual-star vehicle makes no sense, but has many crowd-pleasing ingredients - as well as moments of high kitsch. Solid debut for Houston..."

Turistas (2006)



A group of young backpackers' vacation turns sour when a bus accident leaves them marooned in a remote Brazilian rural area that holds an ominous secret.

Another unoriginal horror flick with pretty youngsters getting themselves in trouble abroad.

Maltin**: "Low-budget item...Largely exploitative film does have its moments, just not too many of them."

Mermaids (1990)



An unconventional single mother relocates with her two daughters to a small Massachusetts town in 1963, where a number of events and relationships both challenge and strengthen their familial bonds.

Erratic comedy-drama doesn't really go anywhere, but entertains with a great lively ensemble and some good scenes.  

Halliwell (no star): "A romantic comedy uncertain whether it is trying for laughs or tears; it attempts, unsuccessfully, to settle for both."

Maltin***: "Lively mix of comedy and drama...Funny and affecting, with a standout performance by Ryder..."

In dust and blood - with the sharp tang of terror stark in his nostrils - a man's mind will sometimes pull forth odd relevancies.
