David Hasselhoff Movies
Actor David Hasselhoff first built up a fan following on the daytime TV soaper The Young and the Restless, where from 1975 through 1982 he played Bill "Snapper" Foster. He graduated to Prime Time as crimefighter Michael Knight on the fantasy actioner Knight Rider; this one lasted from 1982 to 1986. With his American career in temporary doldrums after Knight Rider's cancellation, Hasselhoff took advantage of his fluency in the German language to establish a phenomenal successful singing career in Europe. It is likely that nothing has brought him as much professional satisfaction as his Berlin Wall concert, an event that drew 500,000 spectators. In 1989, Hasselhoff signed on for another TV series, the initially unremarkable adventure weekly Baywatch. Few people need to be reminded of David Hasselhoff's success in this last endeavor: as of this writing, Baywatch is the single most popular television series in the world, beaming out to an estimated audience of one billion viewers. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide- Starring:

A pair of super-sized snakes have escaped from a top-secret research laboratory, destroying the European countryside and consuming everything in their path as the terror continues in this made-for-cable installment of the slithering Anaconda series. In a secret government compound deep underground, brilliant research scientist Amanda (Crystal Allen) studies a pair of enormous snakes for a series of experiments funded by wealthy recluse Murdoch (John Rhys-Davies). When Murdoch crosses the line, disaster strikes and his two most prized snakes quickly find their way to the surface. Hungry, angry, and with nothing to prevent them from consuming everything and everyone who happens to cross their paths, the two snakes terrorize the locals until ruthless mercenary Hammett (David Hasselhoff) appears determined to put them on the endangered species list. Now, Hammett will team with Amanda on a mission to stop the slaughter before the snakes reach the city. But one of the snakes is pregnant with an entire litter of slithering giants, a fact which could bump mankind one notch down on the food chain should the baby snakes manage to escape and reproduce. With time running out before the snakes reach the city and a new breed emerges, Hammett and Amanda attempt to put their differences aside long enough to dispose of these colossal serpents once and for all. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A workaholic architect, frustrated in his job but determined to make a better life for his family, is bestowed with a powerful universal remote that allows him more control over his life than he ever knew possible in director Frank Coraci's high-concept fantasy comedy. On the surface, Michael Newman (Adam Sandler) seems to have it all, yet with all the demands forced upon him by his ungrateful boss (David Hasselhoff), Michael finds that setting aside time to spend with his loving wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), and two picture-perfect children, Ben (Joseph Castanon) and Samantha (Tatum McCann), has grown increasingly difficult. When a frustrating bout with the television remote leads the overworked husband and father to a nearby Bed, Bath & Beyond in search of a universal remote with the power to control all of his electronic devices, a curious peek into the back room leads Michael into the company of eccentric employee and talented inventor Morty (Christopher Walken). It seems that Morty has created a device that will not only allow Michael complete control over his television and stereo, but his entire life as well. As Michael discovers that the remarkable device has the power to muffle the barks of the family dog, zoom himself past an irritating quarrel with his wife, and even allow him to travel back and forth through time to different points in his life, the rush of being able to skip straight to the good parts in life soon leaves him feeling as if he's missing out on the total experience. Only when Michael begins to realize that the he has lost control of his life and the remote is now programming him does he finally learn that life is as much about the moments he'd rather forget as it is the moments he will always remember. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

America's leading titan of bad taste, John Waters, returns to X-rated territory (well, actually NC-17-rated territory, but you get the idea) for this wildly over-the-top comedy. Sylvia Stickles (Tracey Ullman) is a wife and mother living in Baltimore who, along with her husband Vaughn (Chris Isaak) and mother Big Ethel (Suzanne Shepherd), operates a local convenience store. One day, Sylvia receives a sharp blow to the head, which leaves her with a concussion. However, the concussion comes with an unexpected side effect -- Sylvia has suddenly become a sex addict, and is soon attended to by the perverse and lascivious sexual evangelist Ray-Ray (Johnny Knoxville). When it becomes evident that Vaughn can't keep up with her sensual appetites, Sylvia throws herself into the strange netherworld of Baltimore's community of erotic overachievers, which includes her daughter Caprice (Selma Blair), who is living a double life as über-buxom exotic entertainer Ursula Udders. A Dirty Shame also features supporting performances from Waters regulars Patricia Hearst, Mink Stole, Mary Vivian Pearce, Channing Wilroy, and Jean Hill. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Fans of the old Baywatch TV series take heart. Despite all evidence to the contrary, legendary lifeguard Mitch Buchannon (David Hasselhoff) was not killed in that explosion during the series' final season. Instead, he has been suffering from amnesia for the past three years, and has now re-emerged from the shadows with a stunning new fiancée in tow. The lovely Allison bears an astonishing resemblance to Mitch's long-dead sweetheart, policewoman Stephanie Holden -- as well she may, since Allison is also played by the series' Alexandra Paul. Virtually all of the old Baywatch regulars gather together for the lavish wedding of Mitch and Shannon in Hawaii, little suspecting that Allison is actually in league with an old enemy of Mitch's who has set his cold, black heart on a horrible revenge. Is there anyone in the wedding party who will step up and rescue Mitch from certain doom? Perhaps his ex-wife Neely Capshaw (Gena Lee Nolin), or the still beautiful, incredibly pneumatic Casey Jean Parker (who else but Pamela Anderson)? The sort of TV-movie fare for which sweeps weeks were invented, Baywatch Hawaiian Wedding made its Fox network debut February 28, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The commodification of rock culture lies at the heart of Christopher Wilcha's video diary about his tenure working at mail-order music store Columbia House. Set in the early '90s, when the grunge boom was just taking off, the film opens with Wilcha's final concert with his band -- followed by his reluctant job hunt. He lands a position at Columbia as an assistant manager, believing that the job would entail little more than being a gofer. Viewed by his superiors as a link to the burgeoning underground scene, Wilcha is pushed into positions of higher and higher responsibility. Later, he naively reorganizes the catalog to include alternative music thinking that his efforts would undermine the company. In fact, it merely gives the corporation a convenient handle to market this new music. This film won top honors at the 2000 Slamdance Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide
