May 20, 1994 - Sixteen years ago Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and James Garner starred in the big screen adaptation of the TV series Maverick. It's an action packed western comedy that packs a wallop of fun and surprises. It was well received considering it was based on show that had gone off the air thirty two years earlier. At The Movie House rating *** stars
May 20, 1988 - Twenty two years ago Ron Howard released his big screen fantasy epic Willow based on a story by George Lucas. Critics felt Howard was out of his depth with the special effects and Lucas forgot how to tell an entertaining story. Compared to the princess Bride from a year earlier the film seemed to have no heart. To dark for kids and too cliched for adults it struggled to find an audience outside of sci-fi fantasy geeks. At The Movie House rating **1/2 stars
May 20, 1987 - Twenty Three years ago Axel Foley for Hills for Beverly Hills Cop II. This follow up to 1985's big hit was bigger and louder than the first, but lacked the casual charm of the original. It was still a big hit. Murphy and Paramount are working on Beverly Hills Cop IV.
At The Movie House rating **1/2 stars
May 20, 1983 - Twenty Seven years ago Columbia Pictures released Space Hunter; Adventures In The Forbidden Zone. This action comedy knock off of Star Wars was part of the 3-D craze going through Hollywood in the early 80's. The film failed at the box office and now has a cult/camp following.
