“ mad dogs ” starts off as a lark — four guys head to belize to visit a longtime friend, whose success has allowed him to buy a beachfront villa and enjoy a laid - back lifestyle. but their buddy’s life is not stress - free, as it turns out, and the group holiday quickly turns into a collective nightmare. unfortunately, the experience of watching “ mad dogs ” contains echoes of what the characters experience. despite a strong cast, the amazon drama quickly devolves into a series of tiresome squabbles, mistakes and annoyances. perhaps this version, adapted from a british program, would have been better off as a film. ultimately, it’s difficult to picture anyone wanting to binge - watch a 10 - episode show that ends up being quite predictable .

what' s the matter with him, he crocked ?

mad holiday
is a typical low budget 30s thriller, centering on edmund lowe as a vacationing movie idol, a shipboard killer and a diamond heist. but the real mystery is why loew' s co - star, elissa landi, never became a star in her own right. rising above the grade b trappings as an incognito author, she' s a revelation... sexy, stylish and bouyantly amusing with the sparkle of a rosalind russell or katherine hepburn. she also gave a stand - out performance in the second
thin man
caper ,
after the thin man
( albeit in a less captivating role .) but by 1943, her screen career was over. she' s not the only gifted performer who somehow got lost in the maze of the studio system. but watching her sail through this otherwise tepid crime story, one an only wonder how hollywood let her get away .
there are fine dialogue scenes here, in which the men pick at old wounds and examine the ways in which their lives did not match the expectations they had when they were younger, and full of optimism and energy. but ultimately, even the themes of disappointment and regret don’t coalesce into gripping character studies. these are simply a collection of more or less unremarkable men in over their heads, who tend to follow bad decisions with even worse reasoning. watching them try to dig themselves out of the complications they create for themselves is hardly a mental holiday; it’s alternately stressful and repetitive .
after that relatively engrossing first episode, however, things quickly becomes repetitive, and despite the actors’ game investment in the material, it’s difficult to care much about a group of middle - aged men who constantly snipe at each other and do a fine job of getting themselves in deeper trouble every time they try to dig themselves out of a bad situation. the circular nature of the overall story is the biggest problem in “mad dogs”: once it’s clear that every attempt to undo previous mistakes will only land the men in deeper trouble — and that basic scenario keeps playing out over and over — it becomes challenging to stick with the show .
director charles mcdougall wrings the maximum potential from the show’s locations (though the story is set in belize, “mad dogs” was shot in puerto rico). michael imperioli, romany malco, steve zahn and ben chaplin play the four friends who arrive at the sunny mansion owned by their friend, milo (billy zane). the first episode does a fine job of depicting the subtle tensions and quiet animosities that lurk just below the surface of the friendships, and mcdougall capably injects a growing atmosphere of menace into the proceedings. despite the appearance of ease and luxury, all is not well with milo, who may be mixed up in something complicated and dangerous .

check out highlights from some of the best recent trailers including mandy, the predator, zoe, and the king of thieves .
ign' s naomi kyle will be starring as a park ranger within this film. kyle mentioned that clint howard will also appear in this film .
when all the unhappy campers go to see the head ranger (dennis quaid) in his office there is a bottle of whiskey on his desk. when the camera cuts to the campers then back to the ranger the bottle is gone .
warning: just because you' re funny on snl doesn' t mean you can write a comedy movie script .
i' d hate to begin with the cliché' this is the worst movie ever made,' but this movie (if you can call it that) is certainly in the running. who knows? maybe david spade still believes he has talent and is writing another one that sinks even lower than this debacle, or any of his other box office blunders. he seems dead set on reaching the bottom of the moviedom barrel, and by god, if he can somehow summon all his writing talent, i believe he' ll get there. the film' s cast is made up of c, d, and no list celebrities, and charlie sheen should have stuck with what he does best... whatever that is. honestly, i haven' t seen the ending, and there is no such thing as a' spoiler alert' with this little gem. there is nothing to spoil. if you do happen to get to the ending before you throw yourself out a window, let me know if we ever get to see the busty blond in a bikini. a little gratuitous skin would certainly lift the artistic integrity of this masterpiece to a whole new level of 1 star entertainment .
