The Wicker Man, Steel Magnolias & Tequila Sunrise

Stephen's Short Video Reviews


The Wicker Man

        Drama (V). Nicolas Cage & Ellen Burstyn 2006

        A girl goes missing. Slow.

        Moral of the story: You can't trust women in packs.

        Rating: One yawn

        Rent it?Yes

        Buy it? No, look for the original


Steel Magnolias

        Drama. Sally Field & Dolly Parton 1989

        I'd say it was slow, but the plot took more than an hour to take shape.

        Moral of the story: Time marches on and sooner or later you realize it is marchin' across your face.

        Rating: Three yawns

        Rent it? No

        Buy it? No


Tequila Sunrise

        Drama (S). Mel Gibson & Michelle Pfeiffer 1988

        The feds create a love triangle. Slow and long at nearly two hours. Comedy rating 1.05

        Moral of the story: Cat woman always gets her man.

        Rating: Average

        Rent it? Yes

        Buy it? No
