Genre: Western
Director: Sam Pillsbury
Cast: Bruce Dern, Mariel Hemingway, Helen Hunt, Dylan McDermott, Lisa Pelikan, Andrew Robinson, Adam Sanchez, Jerry Gardner, Michael J. Metzger, Steven Schwartz-Hartley
This Western/Horror flick is a little strange, to say the least. Barston (Bruce Dern) is a bounty hunter searching for an outlaw. He's tough–to the point of cutting off a frostbitten toe. Other characters enter and leave the scene in this confusing mess. Interesting cast in this made-for-cable TV film.

| | My vote for the best Woody Allen film | 1fatts 03/26/2007 | My vote for the best Woody Allen.
I was captivated from the opening shot: black and white fireworks over the Manhattan skyline, music by Gershwin.
There is the Allen Jewish-New Yorker-Neurosis stuff and the Allen self-deprecating humour, and it is all good. Better than good is Mariel Hemingway: the actress for sure, but not just the actress. The character. The screenplay. There is an unsentimental understanding that Woody Allen the director has of Woody Allen the character (called 'Isaac Davis" in this version, but Woody Allen is Woody Allen). It is a funny piece, but Isaac is self-centered and essentially selfish, and it costs him a lot and may cost him everything. This all revolves around Tracy (Hemingway) which is written bravely out of rhythm with almost everything else and is ultimately the move moving for it.
If you see no other Woody Allen film. . . |

Perfume 2001 R, 106 min.
Genre: Comedy
Director: Michael Rymer
Cast: Paul Sorvino, Sonia Braga, Peter Gallagher, Jared Harris, Rita Wilson, Leslie Mann, Jeff Goldblum, Omar Epps, Mariel Hemingway, Michelle Williams
Icons of the fashion world get together for a show. The film uses this as a backdrop for, basically, cameo appearances by various stars who have been told to improvise. And improvise they do, but without guidelines, it would seem. This experiment will fail to interest most moviegoers.

Genre: Drama
Director: Bob Fosse
Cast: Mariel Hemingway, Eric Roberts, Cliff Robertson, Carroll Baker, Roger Rees, David Clennon, Josh Mostel, Sidney Miller, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Neva Patterson
In 1980 Dorothy Stratten (Mariel Hemingway) was "Playmate of the Year," but her husband Paul (Eric Roberts) could not endure his exclusion from her fame. He turned a shotgun on Dorothy and, after killing her, committed suicide. This is Bob Fosse's last directorial effort, and it provides the same documentary style that he introduced in his movie, "Lenny."
