DVD Reviews of The President's Analyst
DVD Review: Time Capsule
Summary: 5 Stars
Tongue in cheek view of the cultural scene in the 60s. It is an often hilarious movie, but the theme of Big Brother watching is all too true today and should make one a little uneasy in-between the laughs. Coburn does a great job with the facial expressions as he descends from suave analyst to freaked-out hippie. There is a very capable supporting case featuring Godfrey Cambridge and Severn Darden.DVD Review: It seems oh, so current
Summary: 4 Stars
Released in the 1960s, this film is a satiric look at the 60s, at Cold War tensions, at secrecy, at psychiatry, at government, and a few other themes. Substitute the "global war on terror" and fits ever so nicely as a film for the 21st century.DVD Review: Hilariously funny
Summary: 4 Stars
What a great movie. It is so funny and telling of its time. I love the scenes with the "average American family" - the guns, the judo, the son's Jr. Spy kit, the liberal jargon - with William Daniels ("Mr. Feeny" from Boy Meets World) putting in a great performance as the father of the family, Winn Quantrill. As many times as I've watched it I can't help but laugh out loud when the camera pulls up from the "hippy" scene in the grassy field when each of the assassins, in turn, have been killed - with Sydney (James Coburn) and the hippy chick "Snow White" (Jill Banner) totally oblivious. And of course there's the surprise discovery of who the real "bad guy" turns out to be - TPC. Hilarious movie!DVD Review: One of the best funny movies about the sixties
Summary: 5 Stars
For 30 years this was my favorite movie. The plot would work today as well as it did then. You will never gues who the bad guy is. It has a whole lot of 60's/cold war stereotypes like short FBI agents. The world of undercover agents wants the presidents analyst. The analyst just wants dope and hot chicks as well as a centered chi. Watch it. You probably missed this and don't know what you are lacking. Typing this I chuckle going over some of the scenes.DVD Review: That's my car gun. *snickers*
Summary: 4 Stars
I just think James Coburn is sexy. If you like the camp of the Flint movies, give it a try. It is not as delicious, feels more dated, somehow, not so iconic, but some good moments. Seeing lanky Coburn dressed as a wigged hippie banging a gong will give you a good long laugh.
Description of The President's Analyst
Rival agencies and a soviet spy are after what the presidents former analyst knows. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 06/08/2004 Starring: James Coburn William Daniels Run time: 103 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Theodore J. FlickerGreenwich Village satirist Theordore J. Flicker made one of the zaniest spy spoofs of the '60s--the ultimate in paranoia and conspiracy. James Coburn stars as a hip New York psychiatrist recruited by his mentor to take on the president as his exclusive patient. After quitting his job because of the stress, he's forced to go into hiding when spies from all sides want to know his secrets. The social and political satire never lets up, as the usually unflappable Coburn becomes completely neurotic. Godfrey Cambridge is hilarious as his cohort and former patient (his opening monologue about self-hatred is a classic), and so is Severn Darden, who plays a charming Russian agent. A true original with the utmost retro appeal today. --Bill Desowitz
