VHS Movie Reviews of Head Above Water (1996)
Movie Review: Good movie; Great opening theme
Summary: 4 Stars
I recall "Head Above Water" as an amusing farce. It wasn't/isn't really what could be called personal best work for Harvey Keitel, Cameron Diaz or any of the supporting players (Okay, okay-- Billy Zane's assured turn as Diaz's conniving ex-lover was an enjoyable hoot), but it was definitely a pleasant way to spend a quiet afternoon, when it debuted on premium cable some years back.
I therefore give it four stars for those reasons and two more: Diaz is drop-dead ravishing (pun intended; sorry) as the ditzy, increasingly beleaguered Natalie, and Shawn Colvin's winning, winsome reading of "Sail On Sailor," played over the opening credits, perfectly complements the gorgeous scenery and Natalie's loopy dilemmas.
I've been searching without success so far for Colvin's recording of "Sailor", by the way. Anyone here have any ideas where I can find it?

Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is good but a little out there. It was delivered timely and it was exactly what I ordered.Movie Review: "I only eat the best sausage, so I keep it in the best box" - Harvey K. explaining why he keeps sausage in a cigar box.
Summary: 1 Stars
As I'm in S.Korea and the cable programming is quite unpredictable I've had the misfortune of coming across this movie about 10 times in the last month. It is rather pitiful. I always watch about ten or twenty minutes and then turn away then turn back, so i've seen the entire thing, though in bits and pieces. Billy Zane is simply dislikeable, the setting is weirdly depressing and claustrophobic (maybe intential?), despite being by the ocean, and there's simply too many shots of Harvey K. in short kahki shots mouthing awful dialogue. Diaz is obviously just starting to learn how to act natural in front of a camera and her awkwardness is stunting. I can't believe I'm reviewing this. jesus...the guy who plays the neighbor is unbearably dull and difficult to watch by the way...makes me think of beach wood, dull, lifeless beach wood... The most disturbing scene is when the neighbor guy is gonna make some breakfast - the eggs and sausage thing, the whole atmosphere is just weird, but not in an interesting or appealing way. did i mention billy zane is minced and mixed into a set of concrete stairs? it's just not good.Movie Review: An overdose of bad luck
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't try to see anything logical in that film. It is just a big joke. Some women are like that. All men die around them, kill themselves, kille one another, in one word drop dead. That girl is that type. And she is as innocent as a newborn babe, and yet we will never know who was guilty first, who lied first, who put the poison out first, who overdosed who first, who was cut up into pieces first, who was buried in concrete first, who was drowned first, if any, in one word a real slaughter on a completely deserted island. But how does she manage to attract so many flies to her honeypie ?

Movie Review: hodet over vannet
Summary: 1 Stars
I do not understand why the original norwegian "Hodet over vannet" have not been released, it is far superior to this Hollywood crap, don't waste your time with this bad remake and wait for the original Nils Gaup film.
