Check Out These Good Motion Pictures For Tonight's Entertainment

By Elmer Finch

Find a good movie from these 8 summaries and download it directly to your computer so you can watch it anytime you would like! Ronin - Several specialists are brought together to repossess a available suitcase. It seems the Russians want the suitcase, and ex KGB spies have it. Whatever is inside that case, it seems to carry a high price tag.

Casino - Sam Rothstein has worked his way through the mafia ranks and now runs the casino that his Chicago company owns. When mob strong arm Nicky Santoro arrives in town, Sam pleads with him to keep a low profile. Business is good, and his services aren't really necessary. Nicky just can't help himself, and he starts banging heads. Now Sam's peace world gets turned completely upside down.

Rock My World - This is a pretty good comedy set in England (however shot and funded in Canada) that went directly to video in the U.S. although is far more involving than its theatrical fate could show. We see an patrician British couple rent their mansion to a rock band and end up posing as the butler and chef while the oddball team ultimately shows up. Observing the interplay create between these tremendously variant generations and lifestyles is fun and the music is shockingly catchy. Cast includes Peter O'Toole, Joan Plowright, Alicia Silverstone, Jairnz Woolvett, Keram Malicki-Sanchez, Christopher Bolton, and Lochlyn Munro. 106 minutes, 2002.

Adam's Apples - This movie is a wacky dark comedy about two very dissimilar men who have a battle of wills. It is a newly developed religious zealot versus a hard core neo-Nazi criminal. The battle of good versus evil is on. The main stars are Ulrich Thomsen, Mads Mikkelsen, Nicolas Bro, and Paprika Steen. (German-Danish-comedy directed by Anders Thomas Jensen)

Inglorious Bastards - 5 cadets getting ready to be court-martialed in WW2 take off and try to make their way through France, hoping to get to the Swiss border. Cast includes Ian Bannen, Bo Svenson, Fred Williamson, Peter Hooten, and Michael Pergolani. 100 minutes, 1978.

The Prestige - The setting is the early 1900's in London. Magicians are of high status in the entertainment industry. Robert Angler and Alfred Borden, once partners on stage, are now in an intense battle to be the best magician in London. They will go to any means to outshine the other.

The House of Yes - On a stormy day in 1983, a youthful gentleman brings his fiancee home to meet his broke Washington, D.C, family, containing his crazy twin sis, Jackie-O, whose fantasies in Jacqueline Kennedy have lengthened to the point of reinacting the JFK assassination-with live bullets. Well made black comedy, based on the stage production by Wendy MacLeod. Cast includes Parker Posey, Josh Harnilton, Tori Spelling, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Genevieve Bujold, and Rachael Leigh Cook. 90 minutes, 1997.

Wild Wild West - This is a big screen version to the old TV series of the same name. James West and his buddy Artemus Gordon are determined to stop the evil Dr. Arliss Loveless, who is planning to murder the president. Will Smith stars as James West.
