Kelly Preston

Love at Stake
$14.98
Love At Stake is a great film. But not for everyone. Too racy for children and too campy for serious film lovers. This is just a fun flick to get lost in and waste some time. If you're looking for a deep film, pass over this one. If you're a fan of films like Transylvania 6-5000, Vibes, and Spaceballs or similar Mel Brooks goodies you'll enjoy this. This is a spoof of the Salem Witch Trials.

52 Pick-Up
$14.98
An edge of your seat thriller. In the middle the film tends to slow down a bit. A brilliant cast and actually one of Shceider's best as he is most suited to play a jerk than a hero on screen. Ann-Margret is always easy on the eyes and the music score is interesting.

Addicted to Love
$14.98
In "Addicted to Love," Matthew Broderick plays Sam, an Astronomer, who is deeply in love with Linda (Kelly Preston). He is so happy, but then she suddenly leaves him, and he drops his job and tries to track her down. Sam, do you realize how many people graduate with degrees in Astronomy, and how few positions are available? Why the ratio of Astronomy Graduates to Astronomy Positions, is well... Astronomical! You had a job, and you even correctly predicted Alpha Cluster emissions! Why did you toss that aside to chase after Linda? You became a stalker, and once that happens, your chance of getting her back is a lot less than your chance of getting a restraining order.

Though I admit that the Astronomer does make a handy paradigm for a voyeur/stalker, and when the writer had you set up that Camera Obscura in the abandoned building conveniently located just across the street, that was a pretty bold and brilliant move. But when the writer added a second stalker, the motorcycle ridin' Maggie (Meg Ryan), the ex girlfriend of Linda's lover, who installed listening devices to compliment the Camera Obscura visuals, that really made it hard to suspend our disbelief.

Maggie: I don't want him back, I just want him vaporized, extinguished! When I'm done with him, he'll be just a twitching little stain on the floor.
===================

Had "Addicted to Love" been funnier, I might have been willing to suspend my disbelief. I might have applauded the audacious visual metaphor. As it was, it was a mediocre Romantic Comedy, and therefore the premise merely seemed ludicrous. Kelly Preston didn't have a very big part as Linda, but even so, you could see that she was much better as Chirk in "Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000." Meg Ryan took the hand she was dealt and made the most of it. Her Maggie was no Bonnie, Alice Green, or even a Sally Albright. Matthew Broderick was adequate, and that's about it. His performance won't make you forget his Steven M. Kovacs in "The Cable Guy" anytime soon. The Ferris Bueller legacy is secure.

Maggie: Well, that is, without a doubt, the most pathetic thing I've ever heard.
Sam: You don't understand...
Maggie: And I don't mean that in a trivial way. I'm a photographer; I've seen a lot of things. I once took pictures of a man who ate his own legs, and you would be the black sheep of that family.

Spellbinder [VHS]
$19.98
This is one of those movies that you catch on one of the cable stations late at night. Although I haven't seen it in years, I really, REALLY wish it would come to Blu-ray and DVD as suggested by many other reviewers/posters here at Amazon.

Kelly Preston's acting skills are a bit "overdone" but nonetheless, she manages to pull it off whereas Tim Daly and Rich Rossovich both shine. Audra Lindley - Mrs Roper from Three's company, does an AWESOME job as Miranda's mother in the office scene where she starts pulling out her hair! And Anthony Crivello as Aldice is also very convincing in his job as a satanist.

All and all, it was a VERY entertaining movie with a few corny parts tossed in for good measure, I presume. But definitely well worth the watch. The ending will shock and SCARE THE S&#T out of you!
