Steven Rea
Goofy, outlandish and exhilarating.
Kevin Maynard
Makes for compulsive viewing even though its noirish plot doesn't make a lick of sense.
Jonathan Foreman
Proves once again that it doesn't matter if the camera is dancing a jig on the ceiling if the storytelling is no good.
Elvis Mitchell
Though a certain adrenaline rush comes from the jazzed-up filmmaking, there's not much going on.
Wesley Morris
At its most compulsive, this is the only action flick you'll need this summer.
Richard Corliss
The movie-est movie of the year.

Cirque Du Soleil: Lovesick

Meet Alex, the flirtatious Cuban stripper; Joey, the sassy but endearing New York City drag queen; Laetitia, the elegant and ambitious British dancer; Jonel, the audacious debutant; Andrew, the Director of Creation; and Spymonkey, the spontaneous clown quartet—all of whom will challenge their own limits and be forced to redefine their identities.

Just when Mario's political career is about to get under stream he is diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form of Multiple Sclerosis.

For a Few Dollars More
Sergio Leone's dazzling sequel to FISTFUL OF DOLLARS finds the pancho- clad, cigar-chewing, mysterious drifter ('Man with No Name') (Clint Eastwood) locked in competition with a rival bounty hunter (Lee Van Cleef)--then both forming an uneasy alliance in a mutual quest for the psychopathic bandit Indio (Gian Maria Volont‚). Their reasons for going after him are markedly different: Eastwood is interested in the award money; Van Cleef seeks vengeance on Volont‚, the man who brutally raped and murdered his sister. Eastwood is the man with no past--cold, amoral; Van Cleef is the man who has a past--and a deadly purpose. The piling up of bodies after the climactic shoot-out will yield very different outcomes for them both... The film score is another masterpiece by Ennio Morricone.
Hang 'Em High
In this American version of a spaghetti Western, Clint Eastwood plays an innocent rancher who is about to be hung by the angry lynch mob who mistook him for a rustler and killer. Saved at the last moment by a passing marshal (Ben Johnson), Eastwood is taken before a notorious 'hanging judge' (Pat Hingle). The judge deputizes Eastwood, provided that Eastwood arrest his tormenters and bring them back for trial. Eastwood is not to be bound by such rules. He seeks out the men who tried to hang him and kills them, one by one, except their leader (Ed Begley), who catches Eastwood offguard and shoots him. Recovered, Eastwood follows Begley to his ranch. There he will find Begley surrounded by henchmen and gunfighters. As for Begley, a dark, ironic fate awaits him... Also in cast are Bruce Dern and Dennis Hopper.
Skeletons
Experience this award-winning, off-beat tale of a mismatched pair of traveling salesmen in the business of literally cleaning out skeletons from closets. Together, Davis and Bennett wander in and out of stranger's lives performing 'The Procedure' and expose people's innermost secrets behind their doors of lies. However, when the duo arrive at a remote family home, they face a challenge unlike anything they've seen before. Can they finish the job or will they remain trapped in the closet, perpetually haunted by their own skeletons?
Chato's Land
After killing a sheriff in self-defense during a skirmish in an 'all- white' saloon, Chato, an embittered Apache half-breed (a mostly silent but determined Charles Bronson), is pursued across the parched Western desert by a disreputable, ragtag white posse led by an ex-Confederate officer (Jack Palance). Eventually, the pursued and the pursuers will become reversed after some members of the posse rape Chato's squaw--an act that will convert Chato into a savage, vengeful warrior. Living off rattlesnakes and using every natural and unnatural tool of the desert, he will pick off his racist pursuers one by one...
Valdez is Coming
Burt Lancaster gives a powerhouse performance as an aging Mexican-American lawman who erupts into a one-man army in this bold saga of retribution and redemption. Valdez Is Coming boldly recreates America's western frontier, a place where life was sometimes cheap... but honor was always priceless. When it comes to keeping the peace, former frontier sheriff Bob Valdez has always been the voice of reason in a sea of chaos. But Frank Tanner (Jon Cypher) is a very different sort of man: greedy, impulsive and rotten to the core. So when Tanner provokes a shootout that results in the death of an innocent man, Valdez orders him to provide financial support for the widow. But when Tanner not only refuses but also laughs in his face, Valdez dusts off his old uniform, straps on his guns and vows to exact justice and vengeance at any cost.
Whistlestop Edinburgh: Scotland's Beautiful Capital
As the capital of Scotland, Edinburghʼs got the lot! A sense of history, examples of the finest architecture, fascinating museums and a vibrant cultural life that rivals any of the worldʼs major cities, all add an extra dimension to this premier tourist attraction. If you have plenty of time at your disposal, Edinburgh is ideal for wandering at leisure, but if your time is limited, you need to know exactly where the main places of interest are to be found. “Whistlestop Edinburgh” has been designed to give you a brief glimpse of the cityʼs favorite treasures, ranging from the magnificent castle to the peace and tranquility of Holyrood Park, just a stoneʼs throw from the hustle and bustle of Princes Streetʼs shopping emporiums. Not only does this program offer a comprehensive guide on where to go and what to look out for, it also fills in the background history of the locations, including the stories of such great Scottish heroes as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, and Mary Queen of Scots. The pace is undeniably hectic, but any visitor will benefit greatly from this Whistlestop tour, getting the very best out of this wonderful city, no matter how short the stay, or speedy the sightseeing.
Hour of the Gun
With the dust barely settling at the O.K. Corral, the notorious Clanton brothers unleash their revenge. One by one, they gun down Wyatt Earp's brothers but they won't have the last shot. Using his US Marshal's badge as his authority, and Doc Holliday (Robards) as his deputized right-hand man, Earp begins a zealous pursuit of vengeance that the west will never forget.
Breakheart Pass
Charles Bronson, Western action, train adventure and mystery all feature in Tom Gries' mile-a-minute movie about a frontier undercover agent (Bronson) who boards a train to go after a ruthless band of outlaws. On the magnificent old train: bodies are tossed off; cars get detached; there is an epidemic scare; gunrunners and Indians form a cabal to defeat the army; and Bronson and (former boxing champ) Archie Moore engage in a no-holds-barred fight atop the train. The railroad sequences (by second-unit director Yakima Canutt) have been noted as some of the most exciting in screen history. Look for a token appearance by Jill Ireland. Alistair MacLean adapted the screenplay from his own novel.
Lawman
Six hired hands on a drunken, playful spree accidentally kill an old man. Unforgiving letter-of-the-law marshal Burt Lancaster follows them home. Lancaster seeks the aid of local sheriff Robert Ryan, but Ryan and the local citizens try to divert Lancaster from his task because the killing was clearly an accident and because they are under the powerful sway of the boss of the hired hands, Lee J. Cobb. Lancaster tries to cut a deal with Cobb, but Cobb's hired hands, believing that it is impossible to reason with the fanatical Lancaster, goad him into a gunfight in which Lancaster kills the ranch foreman. Lancaster will pursue the fleeing felons to an absolute point of no return in which only blood and death can be the victors. Robert Duvall/Sheree North/Richard Jordan/John Hillerman co-star.
