Woody's Movie Review 32

This edition is jam packed with good movies.

I started with "Ffolkes" starring Roger Moore as a quasi-spy who is called after terrorists take over a ship and threaten to blow up 2 oil rigs. Anthony Perkins is also in this movie as one of the terrorists. Dang typecasting. 4 penguins.

Then I saw "The Last House on the Left" with Monica Potter and Tony Goldwyn. Monica and Tony are the parents of a girl who gets viciously attacked and left for dead. Then the attackers seek refuge from a storm with the parents, ohhhh. This is really good and make sure you watch the last scene. 4 penguins.

I also watched "Uptown Saturday Night" starring Bill Cosby, Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte, Flip Wilson and Richard Pryor. Cosby and Poitier and friends who go out for a good time and getting mugged instead. Among the items taken is the winning lottery ticket. $50,000 in 1974. So they set off to get it back. It doesn't go well, but it does go funny. 4 penguins.

And then we have "Taken" starring Liam Neeson. This movie proves the old saying "You don't mess with daddy's little girl, especially if daddy is highly trained and has global contacts to track you down and make you pay." Great movie, 5 penguins.

Lastly I remember seeing this movie a long time ago. "Scavenger Hunt", in order to get a large inheritance several groups of people must go looking very odd items, such as an ostrich. Among those starring in the movie is Tony Randall. 5 Penguins.
