[3] Ishtar is one of the most notorious box office failures of all time. And after having seen it, it’s easy to see why. It sucks. And that’s baffling considering the immense talent of the creatives involved. Actors Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty were at the height of their careers, and writer/director Elaine May was responsible for writing on such films as Heaven Can Wait …

[3] Bo Derek plays Jane to Miles O’Keefe’s mute Tarzan in Tarzan the Ape Man, a cheesy, wannabe-erotic adventure that suffers from poor craftsmanship and a confused tone.

That intention is muddled by the more serious involvement of Richard Harris as Jane’s explorer father. Harris …
[6] Christopher Walken, Natalie Wood, Louise Fletcher, and Cliff Robertson star as scientists who discover how to record and transmit memories and sensory experiences from one person to another, a direct transference from brain to brain.
