Excellent Patrick Swayze

I just loved Patrick Swayze.  This movie is one of my favorites.  I like when he is the good guy, and who doesn't love a good guy versus bad guy movie?  Patrick plays Dalton a Cooler most sought after for his success at turning bad bars into good places to go.  They added a bonus with Sam Elliott playing his friend who comes to help when he is in over his head.  This is not an Oscar winning, superior writing, or million dollar special effects movie.  But it is good entertainment, that doesn't try to be either.  There is a sequel or two out there that do not come close to this quality.  If you are planning a Patrick Swayze tribute, this is definitely one for the list along with&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Point-Break/dp/B00005A3KS/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Point Break</a>.  You won't be sorry you watched this one.

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?  This hilariously well-directed and well-written movie was a complete surprise!  I don't remember hearing a thing about it at the theaters.  We just happened to choose it because we all think Patrick Wilson is a fantastic actor, and he deserves an Academy Award for this movie!  (The Academy Awards do not give comedies the respect they deserve!)  All three of us were laughing out loud shockingly often during this wonderfully paced movie.  The movie is about this limo driver (played with great angst and great restraint, by Patrick Wilson) who gets into more outrageous situations that you NEVER SEE COMING!  This movie is just SO MUCH FUN!  We highly recommend it.

Carlin and  Buddy Ebson at their best (Stiller in a break-out role).  Leslie Hope is also terrific.  And the direction by Alan Metter is spot-on.  The supporting roles really work - Michael Pollard and others.  Music terrific.  What's not to like?  Really excellent film for family or anyone.  Fun night out!

I am not a big reader, but i bought this for myself as i'm a huge Patrick Swayze fan since the age of 10. It was so hard to put down, it kept me captivated from the very begining, and had me wanting to read more every time I turned the page. Would highly recommend.

This movie has a wonderful soundtrack. Christian Bale is magnificent! His character is one that is inside everyone, and the ending has a great twist that I have found to leave some confused. I watched it twice before really understanding the ending. This is a movie you can watch over and over because of Christian Bale's character, Patrick, having such a weird sence of being, and very misunderstood sence of humor! I can not recommend this movie enough! The color is very brillant as well.

great writing and directing once again from director Gary Lennon.  What sensitivity and understanding he has of dialogue and of character.  Although i had not heard of this movie it was recommended to me by a friend.  boy was i surprised ....my husband and i could not stop watching....it was so poignant and real.  I will definitely watch anything he directs in the future.  My advice: keep your eye on Gary Lennon.  Great more things to come from his great insight and style.

This film was a treat to view. It chronicles the journey of two friends across the country in a VW bus that was purchased sight-unseen in a dismal state of repair. This film is accessible to people without any knowledge of VWs, so don't think that it is a high-context esoteric experience only enjoyable to the initiated. There are animated sequences that mesh well with the film, and the production value of the entire film is excellent. The director has done an excellent job placing this story in the greater context of VW culture, as well as American society as a whole. I look forward to seeing future works from this filmmaker.

This book of Patrick McMans is one of his best,  I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is written in his own style and quite humorous in places.

This performance would be best described as brilliant. Mr. Carlin is a self proclaimed atheist with an irish-catholic upbringing, but don't let that scare you. His observations on child worship, human nature & mass media manipulation are so true & profound but told with such masterful technique that you will find yourself belly laughing at some truly sad, distasteful & often controversial truths. This performance is one of ther bests from a man who's career has endured since the 1960's. Take the time to watch this & you will not be dissappointed.

I totally agree with the "Paris reviewer's" comments, although I did not read the book -- I listened to it on audio tape. What a treat! Mr. Newby is a delightful writer, and so far my wife and I have enjoyed 4 of  his books on tapes. They are wonderful companions on long drives. His  adventures (and later with Mrs. Newby -- Wanda) are akin to the "Thin  Man on a Walkabout" -- except they are fact not fiction! Like the  Paris reviewer I can't see why someone has not made movies of several of  his books!

The combination of actors/casting, directing and script make this a JOY to view.  I recommend this movie to anyone who loves the classics (including the television programs) created by Hitch and his brilliant wife.

A dark comedy, and one of my favorite movies! I bought a copy to give to a friend.  She played the movie on her father's 90th birthday at a family reunion.  I'll say no more as it has a surprise ending.  If you've never seen the movie, I heartily recommend it.  So nice to see Patrick Swayze and Rowan Atkinson in roles that are quite different from how you would see them in other movies.

Very heart warming and insightful look into the life of Patrick Swayze.  The love story between Patrick and Lisa is amazing.

Thank you to Lisa for sharing her journey through Patrick Swayze's illness.  The love you two had for each other shines through every word you wrote.  Difficult as it was for you, you still fought to keep him happy in his last days.  I laughed and cried with you and would recommend this book to anyone who has had to endure losing someone after a long battle with cancer

I bought this video since we were going to see MacBeth on Broadway and my husband has trouble getting all the words since this is Shakespeare and English was not his first language.  The Patrick Stewart MacBeth was stunning!  It was much better than the poor Broadway production starring Ethan Hawke.  Would recommend this to anyone interested in MacBeth.

I love everything Agatha Christie, especially with David Suchet playing Poirot, or practically anyone playing Miss Marple. Peter Ustinov is an acquired taste since he plays himself more than Poirot. However the five movies or TV movies he appeared in as Poirot have such beautiful production values (sets and costumes) and you get the added appearance of such actors as a young Bill Nighy in THIRTEEN AT DINNER that it is really worth watching. This film has a real treat in that David Suchet plays Inspector Japp, and not as well as the Japp in his own TV series. I think in his book, Suchet recalls that Ustinov told him he should be playing Poirot instead during this movie. Ustinov was right, but that does not take away from the entertainment value of Ustinov's work as Poirot.
