Review: OR so little story, so much (125mins) time.That this film has a running time OVER 2 hours, and has had little or no theatrical recognition, immediately activates my senses. This length will complicate scheduling on pay-cable, and meant pressing an additional disk for the laser package. Why?. One possibility (rare) is that it is truly an auteur's masterpiece, not for the masses, maybe, but important enough, as is, to be kept intact. The more likely scenario is that this movie is such a waste of time that everyone involved could really care less what gets released. By now they've all changed their names, left town, and moved onto the next.. Predictably, The Locusts falls into category 2. Vince Vaughan in a muscle shirt and Ashley Judd with her cotton dress flying in the wind are about all this film has on the plus side. Dragging and nagging situations, disconnected dialogue, and uncertain motivation tend to make most every frame tortuous to endure. First time-writer-directors (John Patrick Kelley here) tend to script a very personal project, one based on material with which they are intimately familiar-they draw on their strength. Subsequent efforts can wane, as the writer ventures into more unfamiliar territory. With this in mind, I leave you with 2 questions: (1) Where in the world did this story come from? And (2) What can we expect from John Patrick Kelly when he starts writing from an unfamiliar point of view ? The answers may scare you.

Summary: old-school drama
Review: Remember "The Long Hot Summer"? That's the first thing that came to my mind when this movie started. They just don't make movies like this anymore. Very Tennessee Williams-feeling. The cast was superb-with one exception. Kate Capshaw just plain sucks in this film. Her delivery is so flat you'd think she was reading from cue cards. Thankfully, this wonderful drama is saved by the rest of the cast. Vince Vaughn is dreamy, like a young Elvis, you can feel the heat coming off the screen from this guy, and it makes me wonder why he is routinely cast in goofy comedies these days. It's a shame, because he nailed this role. Jeremy Davies is excellent, in a role that could make or break this film, he makes it and then some. Beautifully shot, interesting story, first rate acting (except Capshaw). Highly recommended.

Summary: A wonderful Flick
Review: Vaugh has created another masterpiece. When you watch the movie you must try to get into the deranged head of Flyboy. But be careful because you never quite no where this twisted movie will take you. I love Vaugh and think he's a genius. This is a must see movie!!!!

Summary: good performances, but Kate Capshaw was a (beep)
Review: Vince Vaughn (Swingers, Made) strolls into a small Kansas town looking for a job and he finds one while he shacks up with super bitch Kate Capshaw (The Alarmist, Indiana Jones and The Temple Of Doom). Vaughn gets to work on the feedlot and get to know more about Capshaw and her son, Jeremy Davies (29 Palms, Spanking The Monkey), who doesnt speak for some stranger reason but Vaughn becomes friends with Davies. Vaughn also falls in love with Ashley Judd (Twisted, Normal Life) who happens to be married but her husband is sleeping with Kate Capshaw and ya-da, ya-da...conclusion Capshaw loves the young'un's. Deep dark secrets resurface as Vaughn spews some mayhem. All in all The Locusts is a movie with good performances by Vaughn, Davies and Judd and a bitchy Capshaw that you want to reach into the televison and strangle her neck. It's too perdictable and bland but the performances hold up their end of the bargain. Also starring Kate Capshaw's daughter Jessica Capshaw (Minority Report, Tv's The Practice) and Paul Rudd (Anchorman, The Shape Of Things).

Summary: Excellent!!!!
Review: You will be surprised and wonder where the critics were hiding in not recommending this when it was released at the theaters. Vince Vaughn is spectacular,and the story is riveting. It is now released at the video store and worth renting or buying it. It has everything in it for an enjoyable movie at home.
