LEE MAJORS WEEK: Big Fat Liar (2002)
Paul Giamatti, you have our respect. You’re arguably the best actor of our generation and here you are as the bad guy in a vehicle for Frankie Muniz, at the time a hot sitcom star on Malcolm In the Middle. Speaking of sitcom stars, this was written by Dan Schneider (who beyond being on Head of the Class […]
Lee Majors Week: The Last Chase (1981)
Editor’s Note: This review originally ran on December 8, 2020, as part of our “Fast and Furious Week Part II” of film reviews. We’re taking a second, tweaked look at the film as part of our tribute to Lee Majors this week. Damn you, Burt Reynolds! Damn you, Mel Gibson! And damn you, Canadian film […]
Lee Majors Week: Agency (1980)
Editor’s Note: We planned our “Lee Majors Week” before we came up with our month-long February blowout of Mill Creek box sets . . . and it just so happened this Lee Majors ditty appeared on Mill Creek’s Excellent Eighties 50-movie set (Agency). So, actually, this April review of Agency isn’t a repost: the Mill […]
LEE MAJORS WEEK: Almosting It (2016)
“A dissatisfied twentysomething seeks life and relationship advice from a retirement home playboy played by Lee Majors, with mixed results.” I mean, when you put it that way, you know I’m going to watch your movie. Writer, director and lead actor William von Tagen made this auteur project. It’s the story of Ralph, a nursing […]
LEE MAJORS WEEK: Wild Bill Hickok: Swift Justice (2016)
Shot where the TV series Dry Creek was made, Wild Bill Swift Justice is a retelling of the tale of Wild Bill Hickok. Hickok has settled down as a lawman in a small town, but now Marcus Roby and his gang threaten to destroy everything. This is the second time this week that a bunch of actors […]
LEE MAJORS WEEK: Trojan War (1997)
Trojan War cost $15 million to make, played one theater for a week and made $309 dollars. Yes. $309 dollars. It’s also a movie that features Jennifer Love Hewett as the geeky friend, which seems like casting that most boys in 1997 would not agree with. It’s kind of an extended version of the condom story […]
Lee Majors Week: Steel (1979)
As is the case with any actor who achieves a level of fame in the TV and film realms, Lee Majors, courtesy of his clout with The Six Million Dollar Man, was able to parlay his star into his own production company, Fawcett-Majors Productions, co-run with his then wife, Farrah Fawcett (the company dissolved upon […]
Lee Majors Week: Killer Fish (1979)
Editor’s Note: This review originally ran on November 22, 2018. We are rerunning it as part of our “Lee Majors Week” of film reviews. When I was a kid, there was an urban legend that Lee Majors moved to a small town outside Youngstown, Ohio, because the locals didn’t care what a big star he […]
LEE MAJORS WEEK: Jerusalem Countdown (2011)
God bless Christians and their end of the world movies. Seven backpack nukes, code named The Seven Wonders, have been placed in the U.S. by terrorists as the result of the battle for Jerusalem. FBI Agent Shane Daughtry (David A. R. White, the co-founder of Pure Flix Entertainment, as well as the co-writer and producer of […]
LEE MAJORS WEEK: Do You Believe? (2015)
Do You Believe? is kind of like Magnolia without the raining frogs, good music or characters that you actually worry and care about. It’s the tale of a preacher who meets a street prophet who shakes him to the core. And then you realize, hey, that street priest is Delroy Lindo and wow, the cast of […]
