| Costars: | Steve McQueen, Richard Farnsworth, Slim Pickens | |
| GMR Rating: | 2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 2 1/2 out of 5. "Steve McQueen doesn't give a great performance in his next-to-last motion picture, about the last days of a real-life Wyoming bounty hunter, nor does director William Wiard craft a memorable Western." | |

| 1980 | Movie: | "Stir Crazy" |
| Character: | Guard #8 | |
| Costars: | Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor | |
| GMR Rating: | 2 1/2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 3 1/2 out of 5. "Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder work something close to a miracle, making something out of nothing or, at least, close to nothing. It's a simpleminded spoof of crime and prison movies with, of all things, a little Urban Cowboy thrown in. Buy you have so much fun watching the stars, you don't mind." | |

| VMG Rating and Review: | 2 1/2 out of 5. "Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds in a so-so version of the Broadway play, whose title explains all." | |

| 1983 | Movie: | "The King of Comedy" |
| Character: | Guy on Street | |
| Costars: | Robert DeNiro, Jerry Lewis | |
| GMR Rating: | 3 out of 4. | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 4 out of 5. "This is certainly one of the most unusual movies of all time, a sort of black-comedy variation of creator Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver. The star of that film, Robert DeNiro, stars as aspiring comic Rupert Pupkin. In order to get his big break on television, Pupkin kidnaps a talk show host." | |

| 1984 | Movie: | "Starman" |
| Character: | Truck Driver | |
| Costars: | Jeff Bridges, Karen Allen, Charles Martin Smith | |
| GMR Rating: | 3 out of 4. | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 4 out of 5. "Jeff Bridges stars as an alien who falls in love with Earthling Karen Allen. Starman is best described as a fairy tale for adults, but the kiddies undoubtedly will enjoy it, too." | |

| 1986 | Movie: | "Welcome to 18" |
| Character: | Harper | |
| Costars: | Courtney Thorne-Smith, Mariska Hargitay | |
| GMR Rating: | 1 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | Turkey. "This low-budget film's only point of interest is that it marks the big-screen debut of Mariska Hargitay, the daughter of Jayne Mansfield." | |

| 1987 | Movie: | "Talking Walls" |
| Alternate Title: | "Motel Vacancy" | |

| GMR Rating: | 1 1/2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 2 out of 5. "Offbeat, mildly interesting comedy-drama about a student who decides to do his thesis on sexual relationships by videotaping unwitting guests as they cavort in a sleazy Hollywood motel." | |

| 1987 | Movie: | "Hunters Blood" |
| Character: | Wash Pot | |

| VMG Rating and Review: | Turkey. "Deliverance, but without any of that film's tension or acting." | |

| 1987 | Movie: | "Extreme Prejudice" |
| Character: | Luke | |
| Costars: | Michael Ironside, Nick Nolte, Powers Boothe | |
| GMR Rating: | 2 out of 4. | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 4 out of 5. "Nick Nolte is in peak form in this modern-day Western as a two-fisted Texas Ranger whose boyhood friend, Powers Boothe, has become a drug kingpin across the border in Mexico. The federal government sends six high-tech agents to nail Booth with 'extreme prejudice'." | |
| Comments: | Does speaking in a monotone denote 'peak form'? Nolte and Boothe are beyond boring, but the sub-plot involving Ironside and his commando team was great, especially on first-viewing when the intricacies of their machinations came together. This role also gave Ironside the chance to play several different 'types' as he assumes various short-term undercover guises. Well worth checking out. Mickey plays a small-time drug-runner, who has the misfortune to run afowl of Ironside and associates. |
| 1987 | Movie: | "Nadine" |
| Character: | Floyd | |
| Costars: | Jeff Bridges, Glenne Headley, Kim Basinger | |
| GMR Rating: | 2 1/2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 3 out of 5. "A cute caper comedy. Kim Basinger is a not-so-bright hairdresser who finds herself involved in murder and mayhem. She enlists the aid of her estranged husband (Jeff Bridges). Rip Torn gives a fine performance as the chief villain." | |

| 1988 | Movie: | "It Takes Two" |
| Character: | Unknown | |
| Costars: | George Newbern, Leslie Hope | |
| GMR Rating: | 2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 2 out of 5. "This young boy's fantasy features George Newbern as a reluctant bridegroom who has an affair with a fast car and a hot blonde car dealer. Only teens may fully appreciate this trite sex comedy." | |

| 1988 | Movie: | "The Couch Trip" |
| Character: | Watkins | |
| Costars: | Dan Ackroyd, Donna Dixon, Walter Matthau | |
| GMR Rating: | 1 1/2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 2 1/2 out of 5. "Dan Ackroyd and Walter Matthau offer a few moments of mirth in this middling comedy about a computer hacker (Ackroyd) who escapes from a mental institution and becomes a hugely successful media shrink. Charles Grodin is exceptional as the neurotic radio-doctor Ackroyd replaces, and Mary Gross has some terrific scenes as Grodin's wacky wife." | |

| 1989 | Movie: | "Dead-Bang" |
| Character: | Sleepy | |
| Costars: | Don Johnson, Penelope Ann Miller, Tim Reid | |
| GMR Rating: | 2 1/2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 3 1/2 out of 5. "Don Johnson stars as real-life detective Jerry Buck, whose investigation into the murder of a police officer leads to the discovery of a chilling conspiracy. Johnson's strong performance is supported by an excellent cast. John Frankenheimer directs with authority and adds texture to the familiar plot." | |

| 1989 | Movie: | "Homer and Eddie" |
| Character: | Man In Pizza Parlour | |
| Costars: | Whoopi Goldberg, James Belushi, Karen Black | |
| GMR Rating: | 1 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 3 out of 5. "Outstanding performance by James Belushi as a retarded man trying to return to his dying father despite the fact that his father has disowned him. Whoopi Goldberg plays a sociopathic woman who gives Belushi the ride of a lifetime." | |

| 1990 | Movie: | "Total Recall" |
| Character: | Miner | |
| Costars: | Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Ironside, Sharon Stone | |
| GMR Rating: | 3 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 4 1/2 out of 5. "Arnold Schwarzenegger flexes plenty of action-movie muscle in this terrific sci-fi adventure. The film has impressive bloodlines: it's adapted from a short story by Philip K. Dick (who also inspired Blade Runner), with a screenplay from the Alien creators, and direction by the creator of Robocop. A thrill-a-minute futuristic tale." | |
| Comments: | Arnold is a happily married construction worker. Or is he? He begins to suspect that he may have led another life, and takes a trip to Mars to find out. Excellent script keeps you guessing - which of Arnold's lives is the real one? A must-see performance by Ironside as well... and he purportedly based this character on Mr. Tyler. Mickey has a small role as a commuter. |
| 1991 | Movie: | "Pyrates" |
| Character: | Wisconsin Del | |
| Costars: | Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick | |
| GMR Rating: | 1 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | Turkey. "Real-life husband-and-wife Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick play a couple who ignite sparks whenever they have sex, setting fires. Too bad they couldn't turn up the heat in this one-joke effort." | |

| Costars: | Ed O'Neill, Jobeth Williams, Ethan Randall | |
| GMR Rating: | 1 1/2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 3 out of 5. "Dutch Dooley (Ed O'Neill) agrees to what seems like a simple task: picking up his girlfriend's son from an Atlanta boarding school and driving him home to Chicago. Written by John Hughes; isn't quite Planes, Trains, and Automobiles." | |

| 1992 | Movie: | "Out On A Limb" |
| Character: | Virgil | |
| Costars: | Matthew Broderick, Heidi Kling, Marian Mercer | |
| GMR Rating: | 1 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 2 out of 5. "There are few laughs in this comedy about a corporate executive (Matthew Broderick) who has a disaster-fraught journey from the big city to his rural hometown. The rest of the cast seems to be struggling to ignore how ridiculous the whole thing is." | |

| GMR Rating: | 2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 2 out of 5. "When mystery woman Joanne Pacula drops by for her usual rendezvous with a married politician, things get out of hand and he dies. Low-impact thriller." | |

| GMR Rating: | 2 1/2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 3 out of 5. "It's scary how much Cloris Leachman looks and sounds like Irene Ryan's Granny in this big screen version of the backwoods Clampett family's invasion of Beverly Hills. Featuring good work from Jim Varney, Lily Tomlin, and Dabney Coleman, it's fun for adults who fondly remember the series and kids looking for a silly laugh." | |

| Character: | Deuce | |
| Costars: | Wesley Snipes, Gary Busey, Yancy Butler | |
| GMR Rating: | 2 1/2 out of 4 | |
| VMG Rating and Review: | 3 1/2 out of 5. "When brothers Wesley Snipes and Malcolm Jamal-Warner are assigned by their superiors at U.S. marshall headquarters to guard an important witness, they are caught off guard by a midair kidnapping of their charge -- with deadly consequences. The government writes the witness off as dead and puts the blame on the brothers, but Snipes knows better and goes renegade in order to prove their innocence. Plenty of action and spectacular stunts, as well as a typically commanding performance by its star, make this one a winner." | |
