Under the KnifeValley Girl
[ Nicholas Cage, Deborah Foreman ] A Frank Zappa song on celluloid. Wha? Well, it works, in true 80s style. Watch a rough-around-the-edges Cage find his feet in an early featured role. 1983.

Under the KnifeValley of the Gwangi
[ James Franciscus, Gila Golan, Richard Carlson ] Cowboys find prehistoric dinosaurs and try to cash in. Fast forward throught the early plot points and get to the amazing stop-action model work by Ray Harryhausen. 1969.

Critical ConditionVamp
[ Grace Jones, Chris Makepeace, Robert Rusler ] Lame vampire stuff with Grace Jones stomping through a series of painful-to-watch scenes. 1986.

Under the KnifeThe Vanishing
[ Kiefer Sutherland, Jeff Bridges, Nancy Travis ] Well-crafted remake of German film. Sputters to an unsatisfying end, but features sparkling performances from each cast member. 1993.

Medical MiracleVertigo
[ James Stewart, Kim Novak, Barbara Bel Geddes ] Hitchcock classic plays the audience like a grand piano. Stewart is at his finest as the obsessed policeman with a fear of heights. 1958.

Under the KnifeVideodrome
[ James Woods, Deborah Harry ] Director David Cronenberg dishes up a memorable ick-fest with a plot you gotta just "go with" to enjoy. 1983.

Dead On ArrivalA View to a Kill
[ Roger Moore, Christopher Walken, Grace Jones ] An all-time low for the Bond series shows Moore as an aging hack limping through the starring role. The best thing about this pic is the Duran Duran title song. Yikes, that's the best thing! 1985.
