10 Unusually Enjoyable Films For Your Amusement Delight

By Tamika Buchanan

Each Hollywood producer has one target in mind when they make a motion picture. They want to put out a film that is a huge success that the public loves. A terrific plot, some tremendous actors along with a couple of special effects and there you have the formula for a enormous box-office triumph. Or do you? Sometimes a motion picture will have all of the theoretical indispensable aspects and it will still fail at the box office. There are no sure recipes to make a Hollywood runaway success. Select from the assessments below and download a great film to view tonight.

Michael - A set of unconvinced reporters and a pretend "angel" discover that a dotty old female's assertion that the archangel Michael is living with her is real. Michael, however, turns out not to be your usual angel. Pleasant, cynical movie by no means goes where you foresee and takes its time getting there, however the journey is fascinating, and Travolta, as the sleazy, randy Michael, is impeccably cast. Cast includes John Travolta, Andie MacDowell, William Hurt, Robert Pastorelli, Bob Hoskins, Jean Stapleton, Teri Garr, Wally Ward, Joey Lauren Adams, Carla Gugino, Tom Hodges, and Wallace Langham. (105 minutes, 1996)

Lost Horizon - First half hour duplicates 1937 film scene for scene, and everything's going well. Then we get to Shangri-La and everything goes wrong. Cast includes Peter Finch, Liv Ullmann, Sally Kellerman, George Kennedy, Michael Yolk, Olivia Hussey, Bobby Van, James Shigeta, Charles Boyer, and John Gielgud. (143 minutes, 1973)

Holiday in Mexico - Involving, well cast musical comedy of baby girl of ambassador dropping for acclaimed musician. Cast includes Walter Pidgeon, Ilona Massey, Roddy McDowall, Jose Iturbi, Xavier Cugat, and Jane Powell.

Mamma Mia - Sophie is about to get married. Her single mom has invited her two best lifetime friends to the wedding. Sophie has invited three men from her mothers past, hopeful to find her father, and have him walk her down the aisle. Old romances are reborn during the hectic day before the wedding.

Heartland Reggae - Careless 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.

The Seniors - 4 college students open a false sex hospital, which mushrooms into a multi million dollar business. The movie is alternately stupid and sarcastic, with some harmless nudity thrown in. Cast includes Jeffrey Byron, Gary Imhof, Dennis Quaid, Lou Richards, PrisciIla Barnes, Alan Reed, Edward Andrews, Robert Emhardl, and Alan Hewitt.

The General - One of Keaton's best silent motion pictures, setting comedy opposite to real Civil Battle story of a stolen train, and Union spies. Not as fanciful as other Keaton films, although wonderfully complete. Cast includes Buster Keaton, Marion Mack, Glen Cavender, Jim Farley, and Joseph Keaton.

Gus - Football kicking mule named Gus catapults a last-place team to success; crooks try to abduct Gus with typical outcomes like dry pursuit in an anticipation thriller. Cast includes Edward Asner, Don Knotts, Gary Grimes, Tim Conway, Louise Williams, Dick Van Patten, and Dick Butkus.

Metropolitan - Typical comedy, packed with sarcasm, is set throughout Christmas season, with hermit Clements drawn into small gang of buddies, and out of his shell. Cast includes Carolyn Farina, Edward Clements, Christopher Eigeman, Taylor Nichols, Allison Rutledge-Parisi, Dylan Hundley, Isabel Gillies, Bryan Leder, Can Kempe, and Elizabeth Thompson.

China Moon - Small-town policeman Harris lusts after miserably married Stowe in this temperamental film noir. A few nice twirls, although production is more than a tad similar to the better Body Heat. This is a directorial debut for Bailey, more generally known as a top cinematographer. Cast includes Madeline Stowe, Charles Dance, Benicio Del Taro, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Roger Aaron Brown, and Patricia Healy. - 18418

Gangsta Beats Downloads

By Dana Goldberg

There are a host of places available where royalty free gangsta beats can be downloaded; but these tend to be extremely expensive and do not allow a great deal of freedom. If you fancy yourself as something a bit special, but are just starting out, this may out you off.

The whole package gets even more complex and expensive when you look into buying your own equipment. However, though having your own kit is the best policy of course; when starting out it is well worth using the internet a little more cleverly to get what you want. At least until the bank roll starts spinning of course.

Increasingly, there are a high number of sites offering affordable beats to download. Better than this though; they also allow you not only use their tools to create just the right gangsta beats, but also have forums and contact details so you can check your work and get help if needed.

Some of these sites are free, but these do not have the best quality tracks and, in many cases, will just be start ups like you. Better to join are the paid for membership sites which, for quite a reasonable outlay, can have you up front with the very latest tracks, trends and tastes. They can vary in quality though, so you may want to do further research.

Many of the tracks will also allow you complete freedom to make your own spin on them; whilst they also offer extensive support and guidance at certain levels. This is a real bonus when first starting out of course; we can't all have our own personal gurus after all.

Whilst there are not absolute guarantees that you will cut it as the latest gangsta beats superstar; there is certainly no reason why you can't lay down some decent tracks to impress your crew. And of course, you never know, you may just get someone's attention. - 18418
