1979
Movie: "The Wanderers" 
Character: Clinton 
Costars:  Ken Wahl, Karen Allen 
GMR Rating:  3 1/2 out of 4 
VMG Rating and Review:  4 out of 5.  "This enjoyable film is set in the early 1960's and focuses on the world of teenagers.  Though it has ample amounts of comedy and excitement, because it deals with life on the streets of the Bronx there is an atmosphere of ever-present danger and fear.  The Wanderers are a gang of Italian-American youths who have banded together for safety and good times." 
My Comments: It's been so long since I've seen this movie I barely remember it!

1983
Movie: "Streamers" 
Character: Carlyle 
Costars:  Matthew Modine, George Dzundra 
GMR Rating:  2 out of 4 
VMG Rating and Review:  3 1/2 out of 5.  "This tense film is about four recruits and two veterans awaiting orders that will send them to Vietnam.  The six men are a microcosm of American life in the late 1960's and early 1970's. A powerful, violent drama, this film is not suitable for everyone."

1987
Movie: "The Principal" 
Character: Victor Duncan 
Costars:  James Belushi, Esai Morales, Louis Gossett Jr. 
GMR Rating: 2 1/2 out of 4 
VMG Rating and Review: 2 out of 5.  "Unrealistic treatment and poor writing sabotage this story of a renegade teacher who, as punishment, is made principal of a high school where all the hardship cases from the other schools are relegated.  Belushi doesn't do justice to his role, but Louis Gossett Jr. is good as the school's security chief."

1990
Movie: "The Bikini Car Wax Company" 
Character: Uncle Elmer 
Costars:  Joe Dusic, Neriah Napaul, Suzanne Brown 
GMR Rating: Woof! 
VMG Rating and Review: Turkey.  "When naive midwesterner Joe Dusic agrees to take over his  uncle's California car wash, he revives the failing business by employing some of the beaches best babes.  Tedious male fantasy."

1991
Movie: "The Five Heartbeats"
Character: Eddie 
Costars:  Robert Townsend, Leon 
GMR Rating: 3 out of 4 
VMG Rating and Review: 5 out of 5.  "Everything is just right with writer/director Robert Townsend's musical-comedy-drama about the rise and fall of a 1960's soul group.  Townsend gets excellent performances from his actors (especially Michael Wright) and always manages to put an unexpected twist on the often-too-familiar show-biz story."

1993
Movie: "Sugar Hill" 
Character: Raynathan Skuggs 
Costars:  Wesley Snipes, Clarence Williams III 
GMR Rating: 2 out of 4 
VMG Rating and Review: 2 1/2 out of 5.  "Despite fine performances by Wesley Snipes and Michael Wright, this story of two brothers involved in the Harlem drug trade does not have the punch of 'New Jack City'.  Director Leon Ichase has a great eye for detail and settings, but he is unable to add excitement to the all-too-familiar storyline that has Snipes attempting to leave his gangster ways behind."

1994
Movie: "Confessions of a Hit Man"
Character: Charley
Costars:  James Remar, Elizabeth Longstreth
GMR Rating: 2 out of 4.
VMG Rating and Review: Turkey.  "Extremely boring.  A dying hit man is being chauffeured to Las Vegas to avenge the death of his father;  along the way he telephones people to confess past transgressions."
