Summary: 5 Stars

Scary movie to give my Dad. He loves sailing and it was a great gift. It made it here on time

Movie Review: Nicole Kidman In Her Prime
Summary: 4 Stars

Yeah, Nicole before Botox & plastic surgery.

Watch this film and her physically next best film: Billy Bathgate. Oh Nicole, what happened to you?

About the plot: Good exciting story line. But you keep watching because of Nicole in her youth.

Movie Review: Of two minds
Summary: 2 Stars

I watched this on the strength of my admiration for the lead actors. As in any good thriller, the characters do things that normal people would not do--but then we wouldn't have a movie, would we? Each mistake leads to another perilous situation; that's part of the fun of watching...sort of. But this isn't supposed to be a fun movie. The acting is excellent, the fear is palpable, the madness consuming. HOWEVER, the characters did make lots of stupid mistakes, and the hokey ending kind of blew it for me. Plus, the tragedy that kicks off the movie is quickly forgotten as the saga unfolds.

Movie Review: Enjoy it in Blu-ray
Summary: 5 Stars

Superb. for $14 this is amazing prize for the experience. Best theme (ocean and sail boat), best actor (bill zane and Kidman).

Summary of Dead Calm [VHS]

There are several occasions when this rousing Australian thriller from 1987 should have ended with a well-placed shot from a speargun or a stronger knot of rope, but you don't think about these nit-picky details when you're being scared out of your wits. In a role that catapulted her to international stardom, Nicole Kidman plays a young wife who's joined her husband (Sam Neill) on a yachting trip to recover from the tragic death of their son. Far out to sea, they encounter a sinking ship with one survivor (Billy Zane, ten years before Titanic), but inviting him aboard turns out to be a very bad mistake. While Neill attempts to salvage the sinking boat, Kidman is fighting for her life against the psychotic Zane--a villain so creepy that you eagerly look forward to his demise. By the time that moment arrives director Phillip Noyce has resorted to a typical slasher-movie climax (proving that no boat should be without a flare gun), but until then Dead Calm is a nail-biting thriller that's guaranteed to keep you in a state of nail-biting suspense. --Jeff Shannon
