Hourglass (1997)

A business executive gets mixed up with a killer female and her lesbian roommate, who plot to take over his fashion business.I thought this had potential, with C. Thomas Howell and Ed Begley. And maybe if I gave it another chance, I would like it more. But overall I find it rather blah and not even a bad cameo from Carrot Top could save it.Maybe some day I will see this again and give it a better, more thorough review. But all I really thought was it was neither good nor bad and largely forgettable. I suppose it might even be better to be bad and memorable than average and forgettable...

Hey, its a B movie that is reasonably entertaining. Its not going to be nominated for a academy award, but thats not why you watch B movies. The plot moves and is coherent which is bettor than a lot of B movies. Sofia Shinas is absolutely gorgeous and bares her soul in the flick which is worth the $2.00 rental fee. My suggestion is to have one of your favorite adult beverages prior to viewing and a second during it will put you in the proper frame of mind for this flick. This is simply a beach novel on film that doesn't require any thought, after a hard day at the office easy to unwind to. So if your looking for mindless entertainment with some beautiful women in it this might be up your ally.

Hourglass is a great movie! I loved it! C. is a great actor and writer. I hope he never stops writing or acting he's way too good to quit. All you's peeps out there readin' this buy da movie rent it, borrow it whatever just see it you won't regret it. Even if you don't like it's only ones opinion.

C Thomas "Ponyboy" Howell starred in this, wrote it, directed it, and who knows what else. The question is why?Although the movie is not that long (thankfully), it manages to eat up several unprecious minutes on a racquetball game, the outcome of which has no bearing on the plot or character development. (Just as well, because we can't really see how they're doing). Killed a few more minutes watching all four drives on a golf hole. Killed a few more with some psycho martial-arts lesbians beating up Ponyboy.Plot? You bet. Let's see, kickboxing lesbians plot to take over fashion company and have sex on top of people on life support. Or something like that. Suffice it to say it won't be confused with "The Magnificent Ambersons" any time soon.In addition to the other obvious problems, the movie also features cameos by "Carrot Top" and Donny Most. Mercifully, Potsie and Danny Bonaduce did not appear, but may be lined up for the sequel. (The movie ends with the promise of further adventures ......... I'm on pins and needles.)
