![]() Joe And Max $24.95 The true story behind this film set in the 1930's is truly interesting. Joe Louis and Max Schmeling were from two different worlds. One was an American "Negro" who was determined to overcome racial discrimination and become the heavyweight champion. The other was a German fighter with a Jewish manager who was a hero of the Third Reich. With World War 2 looming in the near future, these two superstars battled twice in the ring-each winning once-while their respective countries held them up as national icons. These two seemingly contradictory characters go on to become close friends, even as their countries become enemies. With that said, the film was downright disappointing. The acting was mediocre at best. The low-budget feel of the movie was so bad that I felt like I was watching a 1980's made-for-TV movie. The fight scenes looked so fake, they were almost comical. There was maybe two or three scenes where I was actually slightly moved, but otherwise, the film was a total bore. I'm sorry to say that the makers of this film failed to capitalize on a truly fascinating story. Two stars for 'Joe and Max.' ![]() Naked Jane $14.98 i want to enjoy any reasonably intelligent movie with a frank interest in sex. a movie that would also hold the interest of the lead actors, at least occasionally. i'm sorry but the movie seemed interminable, highlited by an occasional art studio quality nude that gave this viewer a small drink of tepid water to travel the next streach of desert with. ![]() PETA WILSON 11X14 COLOR PHOTO $11.99 At Moviestore we have an incredible library of celebrity photography covering movies, TV, music, sport and celebrity.

She enlists the help of a shady lady who helps her navigate this unknown world. I want two hours of my life back. I struggled to stay awake during this convoluted story which is marred by bad acting, bad dialogue, and is essentially a pretty bad and predictable movie. Unless you're a Peta Wilson fan (there is plenty of her on display), this is definitely a must miss. TJ Vest, August 2008 |
