A Sampling Of Brief Movie Story Lines To See

By Joni Powell

Until recently, if you wanted to watch a movie, a trip to a video store like blockbuster was your only option. You can now save a trip to the video store and download movies right off the internet. Let's look at what you might find to watch using a movie download site.

Men in Black: When aliens make their way to the planet Earth, the Men in Black are there to clean things up. Anyone seeing an alien has their memory erased, and they forget the whole event. This way the common citizen has no idea of the peril we are living in.

Heartland Reggae: Shoddy documentary of '78 show remembering a visit to Jamaica by Haile Selassie. The music makes it worth watching. Cast includes Bob Marley and the Wailers, Peter Tosh, and Althea and Donna. (87 minutes, 1980)

Metroland: Chris Bale, an easy going wedded gentleman, is visited by his oldest buddy, a vagabond poet, who convinces him to reflect on his Bohemian nights in late '60s Paris and query the value of his life in London suburbia. Adrian Hodges adjusted Julian Bames' novel. Cast includes Christian Bale, Emily Watson, Lee Ross, Elsa Zylberstein, Rufus, Jonathan Aris, Ifan Meredith, Amanda Ryan, and John Wood. (97 minutes, 1998)

The Good Shepard: Edward Wilson, a patriotic American, finds himself working for the OSS (what will become the CIA). When the war ends, he becomes one of the founders of the CIA. He is intensely devoted to his career, eventually at the expense of everything else in his life.

King Lear: This rendition of the Shakespeare catastrophe might be bulky going for the uninitiated, although the result can be a hefty and gratifying experience. Cast includes Paul Scofield, Irene Worth, Jack MacGowran, Alan Webb, Cyril Cusack, and Patrick Magee. (137 minutes, 1971)

Fantastic Invasion of The Planet Earth: Discharged theatrically in 3-D, this movie was pretty much a disaster. A young couple finds themselves caught in a deserted town encircled in a mammoth bubble. The original title, The Bubble, was far less deceiving: there are no foreigners and no "invasion" in fact, and not much enthusiasm, either. Cast includes Filmed in widescreen Space-Vision. Cast includes Michael Cole, Deborah Walley, and Johnny Desmond. (91 minutes, 1996)

Hoffa: A biography of legendary Teamster supervisor Jimmy Hoffa modified into a must see film by the galvanizing acting of Nicholson as Jimmy Hoffa. Cast includes Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Armand Assante, J. T. Walsh, John C. Reilly, Blunt Whaley, Robert Prosky, Karen Youthful, and Cliff Gorman.(140 minutes, 1992)

The Passion of Christ: This movie deals with the day of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Betray by Judas he has been arrested, and taken to the leaders of Pharisees. It is the Roman Governor Pilate who ultimately decides his fate. He gives the Jews one last chance to choose to save Jesus, instead they choose to free Barrabas, a true criminal, and Jesus will now be crucified.

Deep Crimson: Spectacularly distressing and upsetting real-life tale, based on the identical "Lonely Hearts" case that empowered The Honeymoon Killers, in regards to the murderous love event between a fat nurse and a gigolo who swindled prosperous, widows in 1940s Mexico. Incredibly well performed and prompted research of I' amour and the banality of sin. Bundles a wallop, and holds no punches in its brutal portrayal of the couple's vicious descent into madness. Cast includes Jerzy Skolimowski, Jane Asher, John Moulder-Brown, Diana Dors, and Michael Vogler. (114 minutes, 1996)

If you're looking for downloads, type in "Movie Rental On Line" to a search engine, see if you find something good. A change in the phrase will sometimes get a better result. Switch to "View Movies Online" and see if you find what you are looking for.
