Some Definitive Movie Synopses

By Sergio Randall

Until recently, if you wanted to watch a movie, a trip to a video store like blockbuster was your only option. Instead of buying or renting the dvd, people now can choose a movie download instead. Below is a sample of some of the movies you can find using movie download sites.

Formula Fifty One: Crazy, tongue-in-cheek Hong Kong-fashion yam loaded with action and brutality. Jackson plays a pharmaceutical whiz that creates the final narcotic, then triple-crosses his L.A. connection Beef Loaf and soars to Liverpool to make a more profitable deal there. Mortimer is fun and a gun-toting, motorcycle-riding hit female. Cast includes Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Carlyle, Emily Mortimer, Rhys Mans, Meat Loaf, Sean Pertwee, Ricky Tomlinson, and Paul Barber. (91 minutes, 2001)

Big Trouble: Harried coverage sales associate Arkin needs money to send his 3 sons through Yale, so he gets to be engaged with ditsy D'Angelo in a plot to slaughter her loony spouse (Falk). This is pretty stupid stuff, albeit the sardine-flavored liqueur does grant a few giggles. Andrew Bergman wrote the script under the name Warren Bogle. Cast includes Peter Falk, Alan Arkin, Beverly D'Angelo, Charles Durning, Robert Pile, Paul Dooley, Valerie Curtin, and Richard Libertini. (93 minutes, 1985)

U-571: It is 1942 and the German's are dominating the battle of the Atlantic with their U-boats. In a desperate attempt to change the war, a vintage WWI submarine, the S-33 is given a dangerous and difficult assignment. Steal an Enigma machine, which codes all the German communications, in such a way that the Germans don't even know that it has even been stolen.

Alice's Restaurant: Guthrie's trendy record empowered this abnormal mix of satire, whimsy, melodrama, and communal comments. Cast includes Arlo Guthrie, Pat Quinn, James Broderick, Michael McClanathan, Geoff Outlaw, and Tina Chen. (111 minutes, 1969)

Casino: Sam Rothstein has worked his way through the mob ranks and now runs the casino that his Chicago outfit 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 needed. Nicky just can't help himself, and he starts banging heads. Now Sam's peace world gets turned completely upside down.

Casper: Casper is a friendly ghost that lives in a haunted house, Whipstaff Manor. The owner of Whipstaff Manor has sent Dr. Harvey, who is accompanied by his daughter Kat, to remove all the ghosts from the house, so she can recover the treasure that is supposedly in the old manor. What will be poor Casper's fate?

Mr. Baseball: Jack Elliot was one of baseball's true superstars. He has seen his best days, and the Yankees have the next superstar waiting in the wings. They make the decision, and trade their former star away. To make things worse, they trade him to Japan.

Diner: Complications of growing up are pleasantly harmonized by author-controller Levinson in this check out a group of buddies who hang out in a Baltimore diner in the 1950s. Evidently made with care and benevolence; a genuine sleeper. (97 minutes, 1961)

General Spanky: Slothful Civil Battle tale, balancing kid pranks contrary to an adult romance, was meant to showcase 3 Our Clique megastars in a characteristic-film format; it's simple to see why there wasn't an encore. Buckwheat's role 'as a servant looking for a master might anger modern-day spectators. Cast includes George McFarland, Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas, Carl Switzer, Phillips Holmes, Rosina Lawrence, and Louise Beavers. (71 minutes, 1936)

A phrase like "Watch Online English Movies" might get a good result. If that one doesn't work try another one. "Mp4 Movie Downloads" would be worth a try.
