White Noise (2005) 
A man receives messages from his dead wife via the static on his television screen. Not a very new idea, and it starts off interestingly but gradually becomes more and more convoluted. Michael Keaton is quite good though, and it's nice to see him as the star of a new film again.
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Good horror movie with an apocalyptic feel. Better viewed as another zombie film that just happens to have the same title as the Romero classic. It's refreshing to have the deadly zombies fast-moving and it's a welcome change from the traditional stumbling ghouls. More character development than the 1978 movie for my money, especially in the Director's Cut.
Zombies of Mora Tau
An unlikable group of diamond hunters search the ruins of an old sunken ship only to discover that the treasure is being guarded by the original zombified crew. Silly stuff, though Allison Hayes is on hand as another bitchy babe with the killer bod.
It! the Terror From Beyond Space (1958)
The inspiration for ALIEN, as an Earth ship returning home from Mars discovers there's a two-legged Martian Monster on board. Despite low production values and a man in a rubber suit, this is still a lot of fun and conatins much action and perilous situations.
Agony of Love (1966) BOMB
"Agony" is right. A 60s sexploitation flick about an attractive woman battling personal demons (Pat Barrington) who feels the need to prostitute herself and consults with her shrink to discover why. Ms. Barrington has quite a figure, and her oddball clients are well-cast; but the director belabors the point. Okay, we understand she has problems ... now what?
Charley Varrick (1973)
Walter Matthau is very good as a small-time bank robber whose latest take winds up being laundered Mafia loot! A non-PC, gritty, down and dirty '70s film that's very intriguing, and it's too bad they can't make 'em like this anymore. Joe Don Baker is a standout as a no-nonsense and abusive hitman, hot on Matthau's trail.
Broadway Danny Rose (1984)
Woody Allen is a third-rate agent who manages a has-been Italian singer who hasn't had a hit since the 1950s. He finds more trouble when he unintentionally becomes involved with his client's mistress (Mia Farrow) who happens to be mixed in with the mob. One of Allen's lower profiled works, effectively told in flashback style, and pretty funny. Farrow is great, and the black and white photography compliments the story nicely.
Mighty Aphrodite (1995)
Woody Allen and young wife Helena Bonham Carter adopt a baby boy. As the child grows, Allen seeks out his birth mother and finds out she's a bimbo hooker (Mira Sorvino). This film had greater potential, but it loses its focus by centering on the prostitute and forgetting about the kid. Sorvino won an Oscar but she isn't anything special and comes off more annoying than anything else. The constant shifting to a greek chorus that narrates the story is also a big misfire.
Hollywood Ending (2002)
A return to good comedy form by Woody Allen, and a funny film. Allen is a nervous director desperate for a hit movie who becomes psychosomatically blind and has to direct his crucial picture without being able to see. A sure-fire premise which sets the stage for great, old-time comical gags. Only problem is that it runs a bit overlong and there's a needless and unlikely reunion at the end.

Sorry, I just got a Franco double feature in the mail 5 minutes ago.
