Movie review: House -- 1 out of 5 stars
Orlando Sentinel Movie CriticHouse is a thriller that ponders that age-old question: Can you still make a "Christian" themed horror movie? Horror movies often play around with the big themes of guilt, sin and redemption, and are often set in a sort of purgatory of morality, free will...Tags: Firearms, Behavioral Conditions, Movies, Roger Moore, Alabama

'Hell Ride' revs its engine for 83 minutes in a cul-de-sac
Tribune critic" Hell Ride" should've been a scuzzy disreputable low-budget hoot, flying down the highway at 110 m.p.h. Instead it revs its engine for 83 minutes in a cul-de-sac. Written and directed by Larry Bishop (Joey's kid, for the record), the film apes the...Tags: Religious Leaders, David Carradine, Hell Ride (movie), Movies, Wine, Beer, and Spirits

Bikers aren't on a joy 'Ride'
Sun movie critic(C-) I managed to get through the biker extravaganza Hell Ride, a narcissistic piece of soft-core porn and macho camp, by mashing it together in my mind with the equally woeful, family-friendly biker comedy Wild Hogs. After all, both are full of...Tags: John Travolta, Religious Leaders, David Carradine, Hell Ride (movie), Tim Allen

'Hell Ride' has violence! Nudity! But it's still lousy
Orlando SentinelDoes it count against you when you actually set out to make an awful movie? It should. Hell Ride is a biker exploitation picture, the sort of movie you'd have seen in a drive-in or "grind house" in the 1970s. It has lonesome highways and roadhouses,...Tags: Tribune Co., Motorcycling, Rob Reiner, David Carradine, Hell Ride (movie)

'Hell Ride'
rafer.guzman@newsday.com' Hell Ride," a low-budget spaghetti-biker movie, may have historical significance for connoisseurs of Z-grade garbage, whose unofficial president, Quentin Tarantino, executive-produced this film. Its writer-director is Larry Bishop, a veteran actor of...Tags: Joe Namath, Satellite and Cable Service, Religious Leaders, David Carradine, Hell Ride (movie)

BASIC CABLE "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" *** 6 p.m., SPIKE Violence, and extremely graphic violence at that, is hardly in short supply in director Quentin Tarantino's ("Pulp Fiction") furiously paced 2003 saga of a hit woman (Uma Thurman) seeking revenge...Tags: Daryl Hannah, David Carradine, Uma Thurman, Movies, Quentin Tarantino

'Vice'
Special to The TimesOn first blush, "Vice" should have been titled "Not Another Cop Movie." All the predictable hallmarks are here: Cops and drug-dealing gang members spew F-bombs and N-bombs and kill one another gratuitously. They mutter corny insights like, "I'm close to...Tags: Crimes, Movies, Johnny Cash, Nick Nolte, Gang Activity

'Boarding Gate'
Newsday Staff WriterIt's hard to feel indifferent about an actor who pronounces the silent b in numb like a popping bubble. Lazy enunciation is perhaps the least exasperating distinction of Asia Argento, who seems like a glove-fit for Olivier Assayas' mixed bag of a...Tags: Asia Argento

Stay away from 'Boarding Gate'
No motive is too murky or elusive for "Boarding Gate," a confusing sexual thriller that casts Asia Argento as a femme fatale who can barely utter a convincing declarative sentence to save her life. With her wan complexion and stringy hair, she looks...Tags: Asia Argento, Movies

Exotic Dancer Role Sways Richards
Zap2It.comDenise Richards is set to play an exotic dancer in Alejandro Chomski's "A Beautiful Life." So giddy is Variety about the idea of the "Wild Things" star taking this indie trip to the wild side that the trade paper offers no other information about the...Tags: Pamela Anderson, Dana Delany, Los Angeles, Debi Mazar, Denise Richards

Directors take their best shots
Times Staff WriterFROM the early silent era to Martin Scorsese's "The Departed," gangster films have captivated audiences around the world.

'Hoboken Hollow'
Special to The TimesThere are buckets of blood in "Hoboken Hollow." Actual buckets. Plural. The movie is an unapologetic excuse to display a seemingly endless parade of dismemberments, electric shocks, stabbings, rape and cannibalism. If only the filmmakers had torn into the...Tags: Family, Movies, Dennis Hopper, Texas
