Even though I have a DVD player now, there are only a few movies that I would consider purchasing for our home library at the present time. Compared to DVD prices, VHS still rules as it is very easy to purchase quality movies for less than $5 on VHS...
Pros: The aliens are destroyed. Cons: Our species, alas, seems destined to survive.
In her ongoing struggle to persuade me that we bought a surround sound system for a reason, Mrs. Sloucho subjected me to Independence Day last night. In some ways ID4 isn't anywhere near as bad as I expected it to be; in other ways,...
Pros: It's entertaining and it moves. Cons: The script is dreadful -some of the performances not much better.
Filming continues on Flying Down to Reno and I had a hectic morning on the set as we began the camera set-ups for my big solo number, I Could Have Crashed All Night. My make-up call was something of a nightmare as the Chuck E. Cheese...

Rarely does a film come along that is such a good mix of excellent storytelling, great characters, suspense and adventure, and is able to synchronize it as well as “Independence Day” does. It's a 1950s sci-fi flick updated for the 90s and it works ...
Pros: I'm still thinking... Cons: They're too numerous for just 15 words.
Independence Day was the summer blockbuster in 1996. It seems to prove the point that people will go see anything in droves if it has enough nifty explosions to dazzle their eyes. Forget plots, forget characters, forget any pretense of...
Pros: Special effects, performances, few scenes which lag, lots of comical relief. Cons: Some minor characters have very little development.
