it hard to believe an action pack jet li movie could be so boring and but this be transcendant trash . the plot be an amalgam of other hong kong chopsocky flick . the martial art action be all special effect and no human talent . it a comic book story about a group of super human soldier who be to be kill because theyre mentally unstable and one of their number ( li ) who hold off an incompetent army to save them and rebuild a life a a pacifist librarian . the saved killer resurface with an austin power quality plot to take over the world and and li shed his new life to save the world . the version i saw be dub and and that may have accentuate the cheesiness of the wafer thin plot and comic book 25 cent special effect . but i suspect even ninja turtle watch 8 year old would have find this juvenile and hollow . | 0neg |
i rat this a 3. the dubbing be as bad a i have see . the plot yuck . i be not sure which ruin the movie more . jet li be definitely a great martial artist and but i will stick to jackie chan movie until somebody tell me jet english be up to par . | 0neg |
hak hap and or black mask ( in english ) be a disappointment . i be tell that it be a sort of japanese version of the matrix . imagine my disappointment . the film be either badly dub or the soundtrack do not time well with the film . another thing be that the dialogue be pretty much bad . there be very little thought put into the english version of this film and it appeal only to the senseless action genre . not a film i would want to see again . | 0neg |
jet li and be one of the best hand to hand combat fighter in the world . he have be for over 20 year and he put others in the genre to shame . while he be big in asia and he be almost unknown here in the u . black mask be suppose to be a breakout movie for him and but it fail horribly . first of all and it be dub . while it may have camp value ( the dub isn not even close and it be flat in tone ) and it seem inappropriate for the ordinary movie viewer . secondly and the director in this movie and daniel lee and do a horrible job . he cut scene so fast and at time and you do not know what go on . other time and the camera shake and wobble . fan see jet li movie for the fantastic martial art . however and the director edit the scene so fast that you do not even know who who half the time . other time and a scene be leave hang ( ie li be begin to cut a hole in the floor of a jeep and while the badguys arm their gun and two second later and both li and the love interest be already under the car . ) other scene be so improbable and that they cross over the point of be completely ridiculous ( killer cd rom . just give him throw star . ) . li and need a director who be less prone to machine gun cut and more to create a cinematic mise a scene . the added rap or techno music go from be okay to intrusive . the plot have possibility but be all squander by cartoonish character that take away from any credibility that this movie strive for . and be we really to believe that the love interest would not recognize simon and because he have a half mask on . wouldn not the hair and low jaw and or voice give it away . if you want to see a jet li movie and try iron monkey or his classic shaolin temple . this disjointed mess be a complete waste of time . negative . | 0neg |
lame and cliched superhero action movie drivel . i have high hope for this movie and and the genre of hk buddy cop actioneers be one that i do not despise and but very rarely do i see a storyline a trite and ludicrous a this one be . this would have be forgivable and a it always be in these kind of movie and when the action compensates and unfortunately and it do not . the action do carry the trademark surreality and over the top nature of hk action and but it not very involve and obscenely gory and and in fact often completely incoherent ( perhaps this be due to re edit for american release and it do show sign in many place of patchwork ) . i be very disappointed . | 0neg |
the movie be awful . the theater be dead with silence cause everyone be embarrass to be in there watch such trash . i think someone give jet li a lobotomy and make him perform a script with dialogue write by a five year old . the martial art be ok and but when put next to the jackie chan movie and the matrix youre well off see one of those . | 0neg |
mild spoiler contain herein . i be spoil this film to save you the trouble of have to watch it . jet li movie fall into one of two category represent shaolin period movie and movie set in modern day hong kong revolve around triad or triad like organization . each genre have it best and bad film . ` twin warrior be jet li best shaolin era flick while ` the evil cult be his bad . ` fist of legend while in the recent past be the best ` modern era jet li movie . ` black mask without a doubt be the bad . jet li play a self exile mercenary who receive an injection that give him superhuman ability and but shorten his life span . in his ` new life in exile he play a pacifist librarian . when his old mercenary squad go on a rampage and jet li become a vigilante determine to stop them . he don a very silly corrugate cardboard mask so a to conceal his identity from the police ( and public ) a a librarian and as well a to conceal his true identity to his ex comrade in arm . the version i saw be dub and and horribly at that . why do jet li capture and hold hostage his library co worker if he a pacifist . be there a love story between them . why do the police chief not care when he learn of the black mask true identity . the plot be just plain bad . bad by way of the superhero cheesiness and bad in the sense that character be never properly develop and bad in it character interaction and all top off by a half explain story i quickly lose interest in . the action and martial art sequence be way over the top . lot of blood and gore ( sever body part aplenty ) and explosion and and matrix style superhuman martial art fiasco be present in the film . unfortunately this be the films best and only sell point . if you want to see jet li play a vigilante superhero in a mission impossible style movie ` black mask delivers . for the rest of u jet li fan it be a true disappointment . this be one of those movie where jet li never get to be jet li represent he get neither the chance to charm u with his charisma and nor a chance to impress u with his impressive yet realistic martial art ability . normally a chinese knockoff of ozzy osbourne would be enough to engross me in a film and sadly ` black mask prove to be an exception to that rule . indeed the antagonist of this movie and by the way he dress and his long straight hair and and trademark round sunglasses look like the modern and age ozzy osbourne . however the villain isn not on screen long enough to make the gimmick worthwhile . i be assume the likeness to ozzy be intentional while in addition to the villain look and he also run a satanic look hideout . so much more could have be make from the ozzy osbourne villain gimmick . if only the writer and director and or anyone have bother to give a background to and develop the character of the film arch villain . ` black mask be the first jet li film release on video in the usa after lethal weapon 4 and and i be glad i stay away from it until now . it may well have ruin my whole perception of jet li a a martial artist and actor . if you want to see jet li at his bad and rent ` black mask and ` the evil cult and make it a double feature or horror and both intentional and unintentional . otherwise stick to move that utilize the talent of jet li and and have plot that be semi well think out and plausible . 3/9 star . | 0neg |
this be the bad movie i saw at worldfest and it also receive the least amount of applause afterwards . i can only think it be receive such recognition base on the amount of known actor in the film . it great to see j. beals but she only in the movie for a few minute . m. parker be a much good actress than the part allow for . the rest of the acting be hard to judge because the movie be so ridiculous and predictable . the main character be totally unsympathetic and therefore a bore to watch . there be no real emotional depth to the story . a movie revolve about an actor who can not get work doesn not feel very original to me . nor do the development of the cop . it feel like one of many straight to video movie i saw back in the 90 . and not even a good one in those standard . | 0neg |
monika mitchell showbiz satire have some laugh and some premeditated violence . i wouldn not say blood soak while but there be insult and injury . max matteo ( john cassini ) be a character actor that have a quirky adaptable presence on screen and but he have a terrible track record of be choose for the part he go after . there be always a producer nephew or seemingly trivial reason for his not be award the role he seek . well and the best thing to do be get rid of the competition . max becomes obsess with such thought . the reward career be just a swing and push and shot away . other cast member represent rene rivera and molly parker and jennifer beals and frank cassini and cameo by eric robert and sandra oh . well and that show business . or be it . | 0neg |
it like a bad 80 tv show get loose and try to become a soft core porn movie . oh my god be it bad . the plot of each character have little relevance . the plot itself wasn not anything to speak of . something about a stalker and i guess . in the end he shoot himself . it not really clear and but somehow there a volleyball game involve . and the main character ( randy ) sleep around a lot . the only reason my friend rent this movie be because casper van dien be in it and and they end up want to fast forward to the scene with him in it and which be barely watchable at that . thank god i do not spend any money on it and but i want that hour of my life back . | 0neg |
the volleyball genre be strangely overlook by most screenwriter . thankfully and highly acclaimed director nelson mccormick have bring u the second best volleyball movie of all time ( rat low than side out and high than and well and umm ) . however and do not let the cover of this movie decieve you . kill shot star up and come star koji a a modern day sherlock holmes . use such high tech gadget a a computer that be less powerful than my gameboy and koji be able to aid fbi agent in the tracking of a man who have not commit any obvious crime . while there be other actor in the movie and include brief cameo by denise richards and a gay negro and and a preposterously ugly and annoy girl and koji carry this movie on his own . any fan of movie such a the matrix or hacker will definitely love kill shot . | 0neg |
of all movie ( and i be a film graduate and if that worth anything to you ) and this be the bad movie i have ever see . i know there be probably some bad one out there that i just haven not see yet and but i have see this and and this be the bad . a friend and i rent it one night because denise richards be on the cover . talk about be young and retarded . she uncredited . her role be unbelievably small . how do she make it on the cover . imdb doesn not even list it in her filmography . this movie be so bad and we write a little note to the video store when we return it and and slip it inside the case . it read something like please save your further customer from have to view this complete and totally bad movie . | 0neg |
this movie will confuse you to death . furthermore and if your a denise richards fan and do not even think of rent this movie . besides get top billing by be on the cover and about 10 minute of air time if that and she have nothing to do with the movie or the many mess up plot . | 0neg |
man and this be hilarious . it should be under comedy . or stupid . it would have make realize what a pile of stank this be much easy . seriously . i want anyone associate with this movie tased and effective immediately . for everyone who be think of watch this movie and let go over a few plot point . oh and wait . there aren not any . there be literally no plot . i think casper van dien be bore and and he decide to film something with some random someone and and miraculously and it somehow get on videotape . this movie be literally the bad movie of all time . don not believe me . go watch it . do it and man . i dare you . but be prepare to gouge your eye out . if you can sit through this without blow a cow and you be very strong and courageous . | 0neg |
this be one of the bad film i have ever see . i usually praise any film for some aspect of it production and but the intensely irritate behaviour of more than half the character make it hard for me to appreciate any part of this film . most common be the inference that the bloke who design the building be at fault an avalanche collapse it . er ok. also and try to out ski an avalanche slalom style be not gon na work . run 10 foot into some tree be not gon na work . alas it do here . a mention before the innate dumbness and sheer stupidity of some character be ridiculous . in an enclosed space and with limited oxygen a four year old could tell you start a fire be not a good idea . anyway and about 5 minute of the movie redeem itself and acquire some appreciation . however and if you have a modicum of intelligence you too will find most of this film hard to tolerate . it pain me that so many quality story go unproduced and yet someone will pay for thing like this to be make . oh and do i mention the last five minute . well to give you a hook you have to keep watching in order to see the late in combative avalanche technique . absolutely priceless . | 0neg |
saw this on tv . i be glad i do not go to the cinema to see this or spend the money on rental . the movie be totally predictable from the corrupt owner and planner and to the snake electric cable . the plot be really weak and unbelievable the avalanche expert guy get hit by a 20 foot wave of bone break avalanche ( use actual footage ) and all he have to do be get up and shake himself down . the avalanche thunder down at a million mile an hour and stop dead at the side of the road . some of the actual avalanche material be impressive and show it devastating power . but the contract between the real avalanche and the staged stuff make this film look even flimsier . do yourself a favour and do not bother with this one not even on t. v . | 0neg |
i can not figure out how anyone can get a budget for a movie this bad . it like the tv station be desperate for anything and anything at all . theyre bury underneath a bunch of snow and the electricity constantly flash on and off and yet magically there be a background light that stay constant . where do all this ( fake ) light come from . that and and all that stupid bicker between the character . they seem to be more interested in complain to each other than try to invent way to survive . it try to create that feel of emergency and people help . but because it such bad directing and acting and you will not your florence nightingale fix with this flick and sorry . i be join the negative feedback and and i concur that this be one of the bad movie ever . | 0neg |
warn represent here be spoiler why do i waste my hastily flee year watch garbage like this . this film be an impressive collection of clichés and poor writing and bad directing and and then we haven not even get to the acting yet . and of course and you can predict the whole story from begin to end . hero expert fight against stupid and corrupt and incompetent henchman . one avalanche go off and bury all the hero who somehow manage to get out alive in spite of go through all sort of cliffhanger peril . corrupt partner who cause the whole thing get fry alive together with his payoff money . second avalanche heroically deflect by renegade expert adventurous experiment . evil henchman in the end turn out to have a heart a well . troubled teenager fall into the arm of her crusty stepmother after be save by her . etc and etc and etc and etc and on and on it go . in fact and there little reason to warn for spoiler . you could probably work the whole plot out if i give you the basic ingredient . at least and i wasn not too wide off the mark most of the time and anticipate what would happen next . and then we haven not discuss the factual error . i agree with a previous commentator that even though there be usually some redeeming feature even of a bad movie . you would be hard press to find any in this one . i suppose i give it negative for some nice scenery shot and but that it . it be some time since a film make me groan and but this one certainly do . | 0neg |
amy heckerling second film johnny dangerously be a parody of 1930 gangster film make in the warner brother tradition . michael keaton star a a middle age gangster look back at his life of hard knock when he catch a kid try to steal something from his pet store in 1935. keaton mother ( maureen stapleton ) have continue health problem and so keaton fall into crime at an early age via peter boyle . meanwhile and the fargan richard dimitri play a rival crime lord to boyle and keaton eventually rise through the rank . joe piscopo have a hilarious turn a danny vermin and yeah that right and vermin . griffin dunne be keaton young brother turn district attorney and glynnis oconnor his wife and and marilu henner play keaton moll . the film look notoriously cheap and make it seem like a television show instead of a theatrical film . the film start out great and then slow down as expect after the first half hour . due to the combination of dialog and gag and the film hold it own for the first half and but then it rapidly lose steam and descend into mediocrity and vulgarity in the second half . keaton chew the scenery do his best james cagney impression . stapleton have several vulgar line that be only obnoxious and not funny . piscopo do the once bit one time too many . several support actor try to hold up the fort like danny devito and dom deluise and ray walston a a street vendor and alan hale and jr. a a desk sergeant and and sudie bond a an unscrupulous cleaning lady . the second half evolve into a hit or miss television show type tone and never recovers . the closing scene utilize the roaring twenty be an anachronism a be the call of the wild clark gable film see on a marquee earlier in the film . i think heckerling should have know well and since the targeted audience would certainly be aware of the roar twenty actual 1939 release date . half of 4 star . | 0neg |
a one be the high rating i could have give this movie and consider zero and negative number be not allow . pee yew and pointless mess of a movie with a lot of waste b list actor who have do well work and write and direct by some guy with the mentality of a twelve year old who smirk and giggle at stupid pun and and poop and fart joke . for example and gene stapelton ( ding bat from all in the family ) character tell marilu henner character that she swing both way sexually and be a cheap attempt at humor indicative of the general lameness of the movie . you want good and cheeky humor . rent animal house and american pie ( part one only ) and old school or office space . | 0neg |
just a it a mad and mad and mad and mad world be at the top of my list for all time great comedy ever make and this one be at the very bottom . ( of course and i could be wrong not have see save silverman ) in other word and it a lame and lame and lame and lame comedy . rating represent half out of . | 0neg |
contains spoilers the truly exquisite sean young ( who in some scene and with her hair poofed up and look something like elizabeth taylor ) be strike in her opening moment in this film . sit in the back of a police car wait to signal a bust and her face and body be tense and distract . unfortunately and once the bust be over young strain demeanor never change . this be one fatally inhibited actress . one have only to compare young to the performer playing her coworker and best friend and arnetia walker and to grasp what be miss in young . walker be open and emotional and and at ease at all time . in that there no apparent barrier between what she may be feel and her expression of it . she be an open book . young and on the other hand and act in the skittish and self conscious way you might expect your neighbor to act be they suddenly throw into star in a film . basically and she doesn not have a clue . with this major void loom at the center of the movie and be leave to ponder the implausiblities of the story . for instance and after miss young be kidnap by the criminal she trail and lock in a closet and she break the door down when left alone . grant and she dress only in a bra and panty and but in a similar situation and with a psycho captor due to return any moment and would you head for the door . or take the time to go through his dresser and take out some clothes and get dress . i would guess that this and other scene be try to suggest some sort of mixed emotion miss young character be experience and but young can not convey this type of complexity . there be a few affect moment in the film and such a the short police interview with the criminal past victim and but overall this be an aimless endeavor . it too bad miss young be replace while film the pair of comic book style film that might have exploit her limitation with some humor ( batman and dick tracy ) and because her flounder while attempt to play actual people be oddly touching . watch miss young try to act and at least in this thriller and be a sad spectacle . | 0neg |
the concept of the legal gray area in love crime contribute to about 10 % of the movie appeal while the other 90 % can be attribute to it flagrant bad ness . to say that sean young performance a a so call district attorney be wooden be a gross understatement . with her bland suit and superfluous hair gel and young do a decent job at convince the audience of her devout hatred for men . why else would she ask her only friend to pose a a prostitute just so she can arrest cop who try to pick up on them . this hatred be also the only reason why she relentlessly pursue a perverted photographer who give woman a consensual thrill and the driving force behind this crappy movie . watch young go from frigid to full frontal nudity do little to raise interest and but the temper tantrum she throw stand next to a fire by a lake do . watch her rant and rave about her self loathing and sexual frustration make love crime worth the rental fee and but it all downhill to and from there . despite her urge to bring patrick bergin character to justice and her policing skill completely escape her in the throe of her own tired lust and passion . patrick bergin do a decent enough job a a slimy sociopath while if it work in sleep with the enemy it sure a hell can work in this . but i can not help but wonder if the noticeable lack of energy young brings to the film conflict with his sliminess . i be guess it do and the result be a thriller with thrill that be thoroughly bad and yet comedic . | 0neg |
the more i think about it and there be nothing redeem about thismovie . i saw it 9 month ago and so my memory might have make itworse than it be and but i do know it be at least as bad a a 4 out of10 . after see the movie and i meet the director . he seem so cluelessas to what he be do or what he have do and and as far a icould tell and he do not care for the film either . even he agree that hedo not really know what he be do and and he be force to docertain thing because it be film digitally . i felt that the movie be try to hard to fit in to the formula that itbuilt for itself represent 9 people all have to be connect in some way . howcan we get from point a to point b so in order get from theprostitute we see in the start and back to her at the end they 10minutes on each character relationship to another person . itmakes one feel choke by the 2 demensional and badly drawncharacters . i just remember the one redeem part of the movie . stevebouchemi there be one scene where he be amazing . that it . a isay . 4 out of 10 . | 0neg |
this movie start slow and then taper off . after watch for about an hour and and see absolutely nothing happen and i walk out . i mean and nothing happen . zero . zip . nada . there be no story . the character be vague representation of the most boring people any of u know . the producer of this film could be sue in a court of law if they try to sell it a a motion picture . there be no motion . i could have tell the same story with a couple still picture with caption . the script be a joke . it just awful . i doubt that any script doctor in the world could save it . my big regret be not that i waste 60 minute of my life watch love in the time of money and but that i miss a great opportunity to be a leader . i could have be the first to walk out and but i wait a bit too long . instead and i watch about 20 people walk out before me . | 0neg |
maggie smith and peter ustinov a a very unlikely couple in a very not likable film at all . the film show promise for ustinov be release from prison for embezzle . he convince robert morley to go away so that he can assume his identity and begin hack away at computer at a very fancy firm run by karl malden and bob newhart and another unusual duo for film . morley sound just a he do in 1938 marie antoinette . perhaps and he need to return to that genre . this film be ridiculous at best . hard to believe that the following year and maggie smith totally change her way and give a shattering oscar performance in the prime of miss jean brodie . ms. smith be make out here to be an apparent dumb red head and but by film end and she be the brain of the outfit . too bad the writing do not go the way with her . | 0neg |
i be excite to discover this late sixty comedy star some of my favorite people maggie smith and a very young bob newhart and and of course and peter ustinov . my disappointment be thus compound to discover the film doesn not work a either a comedy or a perfect heist film . ustinov play a small time crook just out of prison who set his site on a large american corporation base in london . bluff his way past dimwitted ceo karl malden and tech geek newhart and ustinov pass himself off a a computer expert and immediately plan the perfect heist part of the film . to do this he need to get pass a tamper proof security system that guard the corporation mainframe . and here be problem one . his perfect plan only work because everyone else in the film be remarkably trust and stupid . his lame excuse be take at face value and this must be the only computer center anywhere not to bother with video camera . the second problem be the heist ( fraud really ) happen within the first 30 minute of the film rob the rest of the picture of much in way of dramatic tension . maggie smith be sadly miscast a ustinov ditsy next door neighbor or secretary who just can not keep a job . i love maggie smith but she just seem too together here and too composed and the part call for more of a wacky and physical comedian . furthermore and ustinov and smith have no chemistry together and maybe it the age difference and but the late romantic relationship and a devoid of actual romance a it be and still come off a little creepy . ustinov co write the script and and it be think well of at the time and but i find it unfunny and meandering and a sad waste of a great cast . | 0neg |
a reasonable effort be summary for this film . a good sixty film but lack any sense of achievement . maggie smith give a decent performance which be believable enough but not as good a she could have give and other actor be just dreadful . a terrible portrayal . it wasn not very funny and so it do not really achieve it genre a it wasn not particularly funny and it wasn not dramatic . the only genre achieve to a satisfactory level be romance . target audience be not hit and the movie send out confusing message . a very basic plot and a very basic storyline be not pull off or perform at all well and people be leave confuse a to why the film wasn not a good and who the target audience be etc . however maggie be quite good and the storyline be alright with moment of capability . 4 . | 0neg |
a good cast be appallingly waste in this slow than molasses and haphazardly connive comedy . peter ustinov try hard here to bring something to life but the result be a dour bore that miss all the right beat that might have make it watchable . regardless of the favorable comment here and this film be awful . badly direct . badly edit . badly act . badly write . you need to sit through a hundred movie to come across one this bad . the muddled and excruciatingly laggard plot concern ustinov con his way into an american insurance company in order to hack their computer and embezzle million of pound . how he do it be beyond lameness and credibility ( he just learn his computer skills seemingly overnight by read some pamphlet and and hoodwinks computer expert robert morley into go to south america and steal his identity ) . a a side plot and ustinov romance fellow loner maggie smith and who just happen to become his secretary by chance after he get a flat in her building . she end up share scene that have sexual undertone with bob newhart that go nowhere and while ustinov go about graft the money bit by bit and try to keep one step ahead of newhart and karl malden . then he marry smith and they fly off to brazil and which have become the staple finale of almost every british caper comedy since ( nun on the run . a fish call wanda . ) the surprise twist of an end be more laughable than everything that come before . by the end i be think i must be truly off my rocker to stick out drivel like this . even a cameo by cesar romero do not help it . one of the most unfunny and poorly paced comedy i have ever see and and certainly the bad caper . don not waste your time . if you love this you need to see good film . | 0neg |
the word swedish and action movie do not mix . that become more and more obvious with every attempt make in the genre . this be yet another fail attempt . lasse brunell ( shanti roney ) work at a military air base with top secret computer system . one day foreign criminal threaten to hurt his family if he doesn not do what they tell him . they want the secret equipment and will do anything to get it . this movie have it ups and down . and usually in swedish action movie there be no ups and just down . so i guess something in this movie show some quality . to begin with the positive remark i can mention that the movie be technically well make . the footage of plane and helicopter fly be well shot and look very nice . the acting be of very vary quality . shanti roney make a decent performance while maria bonnevie be stiff and unnatural a usual ( i wonder how long swedish director be go to keep use her even though she have the act skill of a wooden plank . ) . stefan sauk be laughable a the cool special force man who come to the base to investigate . and what about the action scene . well a i say above the scene of plane and helicopter fly be nice . but aside from that there be not much action to talk about . and that be a common problem with swedish action film . there be just not enough action go on . maybe it a budget problem and maybe it film make culture . i do not know and but it negatively affect the experience . because quite frankly and the story and acting be not good enough for this movie to rely just on that . i rate this 4/10 for effort . | 0neg |
may contain a spoiler of sort . the mere mention of crispin glover be enough to send some geek panty in a bunch . his landmark appearance in back to the future a george mcfly have seal him into the american conscience forever . more recently and he have be try to get back into the culty subconscious with bartleby and willard . this time and however and crispin have make a 76 minute and cheap dada film . at time it remind me of genius and while overall it almost insult me and but not because of it content . content . what be it . be a movie where and in one half of the movie and all of the actor have down syndrome and give it a freakshow feel to it . the other half of the movie include crispin glover and adam parfrey and and a guy with cerebral palsy . this all have the feel of what john water be attempt to do with desperate living and and simultaneously feel more successful and fail miserably . the half with the down syndrome actor also feature many many kill snail . it be about a guy who have snail and and end up kill one . he be also torment by a bunch of other people and and a grasshopper . he fall in love with 2 girl and one of which he have sex with in a graveyard . he also have a fall out with a friend who tease him . in a weird semi interior set and crispin glover be the director of this show . he be something like the control of the guy mind and and the cerebral palsy guy be something like the sexuality . well and he at least get masturbate in explicit scene . there be other shock imagery make humorous and like nazi swaztikas cross with shirley temple and and minstrel in black face say theyre michael jackson . in the outside world and the tormentor be still deal with his love of kill snail and be beat by the other people . they beat him with rock and and such . later and they beat the minstrel after put him on trial . back to the interior and crispin glover be still the ruler of his set and and try to control everybody and but fail miserably . what be it . make less sense than dr. caligari and and have more than a passing style steal from it . the claustrophobic mental space feel very much like the way the no wall set of dr. caligari felt claustrophobic . they also have some dialogue that be absolute nonsense . and and it be all wrap up with absurdist imagery for humor . the problem be and about 20 minute into the movie . maybe a little more . what be it . run out of imagery . for the next 56 minute and we keep run on the same set of image and only introduce new imagery in the form of an absurdist puppet show . the movie seem little more than a movie which attempt to push the envelope in offensive and taboo imagery . it try to mock and confuse the audience . but and the issue be that it only have enough different imagery for a 40 minute movie . even bad than that and the cinematography and set design and and everything else felt very very cheap and almost unplanned . it felt like ok and this be the way we can do it and get it out of the way . it do not feel interesting and and be quite . boring . dr. caligari and on the other hand and have amazing cinematography and framing . the difference between the two be quite astounding . rating represent c . | 0neg |
i firstly and completely and confidently disagree with the user who call this a spoof . crispin glover be very serious about his film . he personally introduce the film at the screening i saw in chicago . he have work on the film for year and it be the first in an intended trilogy . what be it . be crispin glover attempt at an art film in the vein of those he idolize by herzog and lynch etc . i have hear rumor of this film year ago epic porno movie with all down syndrome cast direct by crispin glover . when it finally come out i watch the trailer on line and read the synopsis and i be foam at the mouth with anticipation . . i go to chicago to see it and it be a major disappointment . if he take out the goofy sht and such a the pot smoking grandma and and the dancing doll and he would be leave with something much good and but only about 10 minute long . in other word just watch the trailer and be entertain and and leave it at that . there be some striking image and fantastic juxtaposition and phrase and but it lack of focus amount to disappointment . | 0neg |
i saw crispin glover what be it . at the ann arbor film festival . admittedly and the film be at least aptly name and because i get the distinct sense that even the writer or director could provide no answer . at the question and answer session after the screening and mr. glover say that the film be originally mean to be a short film to show the virtue of use actor with down syndrome . however and this be in itself not enough of a reason to create a film . actor be and in my opinion and building block for a large vision a large vision that seem muddle at best and absent at bad . crispin glover also say that he want to address taboo subject . well and he do do that . but why . the film seem to have no stance and no reason for address anything . do he feel these thing shouldn not be taboo . the film doesn not even give me an indicator of that . taboo for the sake of taboo be not interesting . it can not even afford to make the taboo disturbing or incite on any level because he hasn not make the audience care in any way . ignore problem with the concept for a moment and the thing that actually shock me most be how poorly the film be put together . the editing and cinematography and and other technical aspect seem frequently to be extremely amateur . glover say 125 150 thousand dollar go into the movie and and i feel that the money should have be spend on different designer ( glover actually do some design himself i know i saw at least sound design in the credit ) . the painted set be okay ( not great ) and but use poorly . part feel like a photographed stage play which would be fine if that go to any sort of purpose and but in glover hand it just feel sloppy . other part be film like a sort of home movie and of inferior quality to a lot of the stuff i see first time filmmaker do on imovie . perhaps the big problem with what be it . be i can not even understand how seriously the film be to be take . there be some part that feel like glover be scream at you to think seriously . at other point and he seem off on his own little joke . perhaps he mean for this to be ironic and or meaningful in some way and but i just felt that glover couldn not even get himself to give his film any sort of serious attention . glover say he originally want it to be a short film . if only it have be . at seventy two minute and the film run out of imagery and idea in the first twenty and and it be arguable if the idea be formulate enough to claim that they be even there for that period of time . | 0neg |
i saw his film at the ann arbor film festival . i be a film student at the univeristy of michigan so i know a thing or two about film . and crispin glover film be outrageous . he basically exploit the mentally challenge . not only be shirly temple the anti christ ( which i admit be a little funny ) tell the mentally challenge to kill each other and but there be an obsession with kill snail . crispin also play with the idea of be in love with one of his actor who be a they all be and mentally challenge . peta and human right should be all over this thing . it not counter culture a crispin state at the ann arbor film festival and it exploitation . | 0neg |
what be it . be a mish mash of bizarre recur motif ( snail and shirley temple and swastika and and overtly racist music and among others ) unfettered by any sort of narrative or plot or character development . the whole thing strike me a self consciously freak show and and i do not mean only the unusual casting decision . it have the feel of a bad acid trip and far beyond any level of drug use one might attribute to hunter s. thompson or william s. burroughs . the only movie to which i can compare it be eraserhead ( my second least favorite film of all time ) and which be by intent much more depressing and but i still find what be it . a total waste of my time . it one thing to give me a peek into the inner working of someone else mind even someone else chemically altered consciousness but quite another to just throw weird visuals at me purely for the sake of weirdness . | 0neg |
eytan fox and whilst generally lean on the apologist side of israeli politics and have make several quite interesting film in the past such a walk on water and the simply wonderful film and yossi and jagger . in the bubble and however and he have take this illogical and unfair approach to the extreme . far from give this film a stand ovation and the people at the screening i attend quietly get up and leave . i also quietly leave and fume with anger at such a ridiculously one side film that translate self preservation a racist bullying and and racist bullying ( and terrorism ) a outburst of justified anger while which imply that arab be so wrong by the evil israeli that they react in anger to a constant stream of one side israeli aggression against them and and that they and therefore and should not be hold responsible for their action . this film wasn not worth the money i pay for the ticket ( indeed and i consider demand my money back ) and and be basically an israeli apeing of the palestinian film paradise now . if you want to be an anti israeli and then by all mean watch this film and a it really justify just such a belief system . the fact that this film be make by an israeli director and and even bad and such a talented israeli director and be a cry shame . indeed and just how israel can be surprise to be regard a a pariah state when israeli themselves make such anti israel propaganda and beggar belief . what a shameful and horrid little film . | 0neg |
the bubble be an effort to make a gay romeo and juliet type of story with an israeli and a palestinian and although it seem to come at it by way of friend or beverly hill 90210. the character be shallow and trite a be the dialog and plot line . the movie seem torn between fluff and depth . on the one hand there be a pointed effort at be shallow a ( in one example of many ) some minor character even ask question that invite development of insight into the conflict at hand and and get answer like and hey and be here to make a poster for a rave against the occupation . don not get political . beyond the obvious absurdity of such a line and it just one of many ham fisted signal that the movie be just a hollow and insubstantial a it title suggest . on the other hand and the movie main pretension to depth follow the lover to a presentation of bent a play about gay in a nazi labor camp . the scene on stage be awkwardly rush and undermine it erotic power ( understandable give the constraint of film time and but still this could have be edit to much good effect . ) and come off as flimsily a the rest of the film . too bad . this play deserve much well . the character be so one dimensionally cartoony some even have name that telegraph their entire ( though the word seem inappropriate here ) substance . the aggressive soldier from the crack golani brigade be name golan . the militant palestinian be name jihad . the striving for chic faghag roommate be lulu . anyone familiar with the checkpoint and life in palestine and whether from real life or documentary will find the checkpoint scene a absurdly unreal a well and the rest of this fluffy fantasy . when a palestinian woman go into the fast labor on record israeli soldier be solicitous and helpful and an ambulance show up in minute . ( the outcome of the birth serve to show the palestinian a unappreciative of israeli beneficence and even downright paranoiac . ) altogether the checkpoint be show a a mere nuisance and not the series of bone numbing and soul crushing and humiliate obstruction with no regard for medical care or necessity in case of birth and death and or severe illness . ashraf and the palestinian lover and seem to get through from nablus to tel aviv with no problem and no paper and no hassle . he just show up whenever he like . when the israeli want to get through it be much more of a challenge involve a scheme worthy of lucy ricardo . against the backdrop of nice and supportive israeli and surly homophobic palestinian we move to a resolution that be utterly lack in motivation or purpose except a a painfully obvious dramatic device to milk sympathy for the forbidden lover . gay israeli palestinian romance have be handle on stage with much more skill and depth a in saleem salaam or shalom so this film be hardly even as groundbreaking a some people would like to think . gloriously bad film like the work of ed wood at least have some striking idiosyncrasy to distinguish them . this one doesn not even have that go for it . most of the sound track sound like simon and garfunkel on quaalude and and even with the weird oedipal touch to the gay sex scene and the general incompetence that pervade this movie play out like a mediocre tv movie of the week . | 0neg |
this film essentially deal with inspector gadget arch nemesis doctor claw who have return after many year to the now peaceful city of metropolis . claw plan be to foil gadget once and for all by use a new cooler crimefighter to help destroy gadget popularity . sadly the film fail miserably and the series be great and but it be revive nearly 20 year later with tragic result . without the voice of don adam a inspector gadget it just doesn not cut it anymore while dr. claw be not only visually less frightening and but sound more like a wrestler with a cold and than his original intimidating self . grant this be a child movie and but the plot be so painfully weak ( heaven forbid i mention the animation ) that it pal in comparison to the original series . someone have decide to updated penny as well to bring her two decade up to speed and she now have some quasi punk rebellious clothing style and doesn not play half the role that she do in the tv series . the gadgetmobile talk and as well a include a plot angle that focus entire on talk car . maybe i be just a kid who love the show who grow up jaded and but i think that the live action version be more pain than i could bear and but now they go and spring this complete water down of the quality tv series on u . it more than i can take . | 0neg |
i get this dvd well over 2 year ago and only decide to watch it yesterday . i do not know why it take me so long a i do like the inspector gadget show and even the new gadget and the gadgetinis . while it may have a bright color pallet and all the technical sophistication of a modern animate movie and there be some old thing miss that bog this gadget right down the toilet . first of all the classic inspector gadget theme song and music be completely absent . the composer try to compromise by do a score that sound similar but it still just no good enough . the gadget mobile be now a talk car and not a car that can turn into a van . plus it look a lot cuter and rounder instead of be plain cool . penny no longer have her computer book and she and brain hardly make an appearance at all . the plot be non existent . there something about a transformation formula and doctor claw use for some never reveal evil but that all i get . what the deal be with the short or giant italian guy i will never know . it have nothing to do with anything . and if the title be anything to go by and his last case be wrap up in no way whatsoever . and he stay on the force so why it call last case be a mystery also . i wasn not impress at all . this be an affront to a great animated show that be strangely absent on dvd and but do not let that prompt you into buy whatever inspector gadget dvd you can . i sell this mere second after finally watch it . no kid will like or appreciate this and no fan of the old show with tolerate it . | 0neg |
this animate inspector gadget movie be pretty lame . the story be very weak and and there be little action . most of the character be give little to nothing to do . the movie be mildly entertaining at best and but really doesn not go any where and be pointless . it watchable but only just and be nowhere near the calibre of the animated tv show from the 80 . it not a movie that bear repeat viewing and at least in my mind . it only about 74 minute long include credit and so i guess that a good thing . unlike in the tv show and the character be not worth root for here . in the show and you want inspector gadget to save the day and but there and who really care . anyway and that just my opinion . for me inspector gadget last case be a disappointing negative . | 0neg |
inspector gadget be probably my all time favorite 80 cartoon . i enjoy both the first and second season of the series as well a 1992 christmas special inspector gadget save christmas . some gadget fan be quick to criticize the second season ( 1985 ) of the show and but they need to compare it to dic 2002 release of inspector gadget last case represent claw revenge for then and they will find the second season to be absolute gold . be a gadget fan and i couldn not resist the opportunity to see the animated inspector gadget in something that wasn not gadget boy relate . i purchase the film and and i swore to myself that i would be objective while i know that sometimes artistic liberty would be take from the original series . i be not even prepare for what i be about to watch . there be barely a shred of the original show still intact . here be a short list of just some of the con for this movie represent the humor be non existent from the original series . penny and brain ( originally have a nearly equal part in the series a gadget ) be miss from the action for fifteen to twenty minute interval . the original music by saban and levy be not there and and the score that exist be sub par . ( understood that saban have his own production company now and but at least inspector gadget save christmas have good music and even without saban . ) don not expect to see any of gadget gadget which make the show so endearing and such a gadget copter and gadget brella and gadget mallet and gadget coat ( which actually be use but it be not even call the same thing ) and as well a his standard other hat and hand gadget . in this movie and his gadget leg be telescopic instead of spring . that kind of stuff annoys true fan of the show and and simply aren not necessary to change . the gadgetmobile from the original series be now a fast talk and supposedly hip convertible . all the fan from the original series enjoy the gadgetmobile transform into the gadget van and vice versa . chief quimby be now very short tempered and even mean to gadget . he be always grumpy in the original series and but this push the situation a bit much . penny no longer have a computer book . be there any positive to this movie . ok and here go . maurice lamarche do a good job of take over for the great don adam a inspector gadget . in one scene and chief quimby alludes to an actual villain from the cartoon series represent the great wambini ( classic gadget villain from the second season and voice by louis nye ) . look for more redeeming factor for this movie . well and youre out of luck . life be about make choice and living by those choice . most situation in life have a purpose even if it be to teach a lesson . the lesson learn here represent keep to the original formula . if it ain not break and do not fix it . true gadget fan should steer clear from this movie while you will surely be disappoint . hopefully and dic and shout . factory will continue to release more of the original series after the 2006 release of inspector gadget represent the original series and volume 1 and contain the first 22 episode of the series . a a true gadget fan and lover of 80 animation and many of dic program and i urge you the viewer to purchase inspector gadget represent the original series and volume 1 and inspector gadget save christmas dvd which be excellent and sure to bring back good memory . | 0neg |

to be clear from the get go and the bagman be very and very and very bad . it suffer terribly in almost every aspect except for one represent the finish product be such an awful film that it actually hysterically funny to watch . this be a very low grade film . budget constraint for the film should be obvious to anyone who watch even just the opening title sequence . i be not sure if much of the humour in the film be intend or not . for example and the movie take place in doomsville . note to all prospective home buyer represent if the town youre move to be call doomsville and keep moving . stephanie beaton be quick to pull off her top for a pretty enthusiastic sex scene in the kitchen . i couldn not help but laugh because it have intentional humour ( she turn on the gas stove . get it . the sex be that hot . get it . ) and unintentional humour . the unintentional in this case be the music . it like the theme music for chariot of fire go electronica . break out the computer and the synthesizer . i realize that come up with music for a small production like this be cost prohibitive . i really feel for them because the work here be so well intentioned . the problem be that cheap music isn not necessarily good music . i haven not laugh so hard at sex on screen since alone in the dark with that seven second song ( i guess they be imply that poor old mr. slater be a bit . quick on the draw . ) . even the end credit be hilarious . intentional or not . you be the judge represent a pet dog and cat be part of the credit cast and an animal wrangler be on set for them . the boom be credit to mr b. stick and and the 3rd unit wardrobe ( yep and they have a third unit ) be credit to k mart . maybe it just me and but i think the hilarity of this more than save the film . the movie be very and very bad and but the goal of stephanie beaton and her friend and family be so well intentioned in the bagman that you can not help but like the movie they have produce . the bagman be bad but not dreadful . in it own sweet way and it even manage to be a bit endear . it wear it flaw so honestly that you can not help but forgive them . well film that try to hide the flaw be almost bad in a way . i guess this be just a film that know who it audience be and be produce accordingly . watch any number of movie and most of them will probably be a lot good than this . some of them might look cheap and or have worse acting and or silly production value . they may not suffer terribly a the bagman do from awful edit and sound and and foley effect . mr b. stick do not do a very good job . the special effect look to be where most of the money go . they tend to be more funny than gruesome and although when the bagman be finally unmask at the end and the make up job there be surprisingly well do . my 4 out of 10 be a little high but the humour help a lot . this be an ideal movie to track down some night with a few friend and a few beer in hand . great entertainment be to be have by anyone who seriously consider themselves b movie or low budget film aficionado . all others should probably avoid with great prejudice . | 0neg |
any film with a title as ridiculous a the bagman should automatically attract the attention of any bad movie lover and but the plot be far different than what one may expect after view the dvd cover . the bagman be by no mean a good movie . it fall into the category of film that seem to have be ( and probably be ) film on a home video camera . the acting be awful . i haven not hear and see such wooden act since troll 2. there be plenty of scene with nudity and sex and but they be clearly jump into too fast . the character be moron and entirely forgettable . the end ( which i will not spoil ) can be easily anticipate after watch the very first scene . due to the cheesy nature of the film and nothing aside from the awful production value be truly scary ( awful attempt at realistic gore and a driving scene where the car be clearly stationary and etc ) . recommend for bad movie aficionado only . | 0neg |
we buy this film from a shop call poundland . we be look for more inspiration a we have previously buy the film no big deal an remade it . we expect this film to be badly inspirational so that we might remake it and put it on the tube . however and this be shock . boring be the main word that come to mind . the bad effect and script aren not enough to make you watch it . the main woman body seem to be whip out at opportune moment in a pathetic attempt to keep the viewer interested . however and it just make you wonder and do they blow the budget get her to take her clothes off . if so and i would have ask for a refund . it look like a homemade film and the shot do not even correspond with each other and the camera work be so amateur it make our remake of bad movie look professional . i can not believe that this be be sell a a marketable product . it be just boring and ugly to watch . the actor be bad and there be no degree of professionalism about it . there be no word to describe how terrible it be . | 0neg |
this film be the freshman effort of stephanie beaton and her new production company . while it suffer from a few problem and a every low budget production do and it be a good start for ms. beaton and her company . the story be not terribly new have be do in film like the burning and every friday the 13th since part 2. but and the performance be heartfelt . so many big budget movie just have the actor go through the motion and it always nice to see actor really try to hone their craft . the story deal with the murder ( and possible return ) of a disfigured classmate . the others be swear to secrecy and but the trauma of the event send each person in different direction in their life . ten year later and the friend be murder one by one by a gruesome stalker know a the bagman . who will survive . you have to watch . if you be roger ebert or any number of arrogant critic and you probably shouldn not bother . but if your taste run more towards joe bob briggs and you want to see a group of people hone their craft and then check out the bagman . | 0neg |
follow the success of the ( awful ) gilligan island tv movie rerun and a number of tv movie be make in the 1980 reunite cast from classic show . most of these movie completely miss the boat as far a recapture the humor that make the show so special . the munsters revenge be among the most disappointing because it go for a laurel and hardy type comedy style that really wasn not in the original series . yvonne de carlo and a wonderful comedienne and essential to the series and be completely waste she have less time here in this 90 minute movie than she do in any single 30 minute episode . and since the role of eddie and marilyn in this movie be nothing more than cameo and what be the point of make them young and recast them . with very little rewriting and they could have use butch patrick and pat priest . although see some of the munsters spooky relative be a nice touch and i do not enjoy sid caesar a the hammy mad scientist mainly because there too much of him and not enough of the underused munsters ( ironically that very year and 1981 and caesar old partner in comedy and imogene coca and be also inappropriately cast in a major part in a tv movie reunion return of the beverly hillbilly ) . another strange inexplicable bit at the beginning of the film have the munster family represent a wax figure at a local horror wax museum . why would they be in there when they be suppose to be a typical ( if strange ) american family and not famous monster . this be the last munsters project feature the original cast in their role and there be an awful revival of the series in the late 1980 with a completely new cast and a 1990 tv movie which feature decarlo and lewis and priest and and patrick in cameo role a a family dining . | 0neg |
96 minute of this be cruel . and i love the old munster . yes and the plot be thing while yes the line be trite while but whoever be at the helm of this be not a fan . there be so much intrigue ( and i use that word with great pause ) that i wonder if it an old starsky and hutch episode . i lose count of the number of time i notice that makeup have miss a spot near the collar . refuse to acknowledge that any time have pass since the mid 60 ( ludicrous ) the producer simply replace marilyn and eddie with young actor . why not let them grow and age . the addition of an addam family style reunion do not add to the flavor of the halloween party . grandpa and herman fly to transylvania and back in a few hour ( preposterous . ) sid ceaser be the most and yes the most unbelievable character ( i be include the bad robot ) since he babble an unwild combination of gibberish and yiddish but claim to be an ancient arabic ruler . and yes and it look like the laugh track be miss . in fact and there be several spot where there be dead air and a if the laugh track be to be insert later . the actor seem to wait on the faux audience . it not laughable while it sad . oh and and the best part . yvonne decarlo have a line that just go to show you how out of touch the writer and producer be . marilyn say something like represent where could uncle herman and grandpa be . they could have be in an accident . they could have be hit by a car . or a train . lily say responds with something like represent youre uncle herman will be here if he have to drag himself off the train track . what amaze about this be represent yvonne decarlo husband be a stuntman in the early 60 and lose a leg and be nearly kill in a train stunt . he never recover and this financially devastate her family . ( check out biography fantastic review of her life and career ) this line could have be easily change to be more sensitive to her . if you be a real fan of the munster then you will have to rent this mess . it illustrate how some thing be well leave alone . even with the ( nearly ) original cast and this be almost as bad a the attempted remake of the show a few year ago . | 0neg |
a sad and sad sight indeed be the munster revenge . the munsters be bring back one last time ( fred gywnne receive a huge paycheck to come back to the role of herman munster ) in this make for tv movie about a pair of wax replica of grandpa and herman that be robot terrorize the city a preparation for a robbery of a mummy stash at an exhibit . with the police on their heel and the two elderly television icon try to find out who be actually behind the crime in order to clear their name . we get to see them dress in drag a waitress ( a minor highpoint in the film ) and grandpa turn into a bat with attached wire a couple time ( one time even fly to transylvania with herman somehow invoke his frequent flyer mile i guess ) and and a most annoying relative the phantom constantly sings and break glass ad nausium . what be most sad be hard to pinpoint represent be it that gywnne ( especially ) and al lewis look so haggard in every scene and so indifferent to the material . be it the hokey costume of the robot that have that school production value look about them . maybe it be the ridiculous script . sid caesar crazy and mostly unfunny antic . or perhaps it be see something which bring me joy and fond memory a a child be treat to a super k mart fashion makeover . at any even and the result be decidedly disappointing and silly even for munster standard . a for the rest of the cast and yvonne de carlo be adequate in a most vacuous role ( though show more cleavage than usual for a woman of her year and experience ) . k. c. martell make an ever so not affable eddie munster . jo mcdonell be an attractive marilyn . bob hastings a the aforementioned phantom look and act and speaks in the most absurd manner . the film have a real cheap feel about it even for a make for tv movie . | 0neg |
i saw switch goal . twice . and always the same feeling . you see the olsen twin make same movie . they like play different sport and then fall in love to boys . ok now about the movie . first off all such little boy and girl do not play on such big goal . 2. football do not play on time out . 3. if the game be at it end the referee give some overtime ( a minute or more ) . and the finish be so foreseen . i think that this movie be bad because of the lack of football knowledgement . if it be do by european producer it would be good . and also the mane actor aren not the wright choice . they suffer from lack of authentic . ok they play some season in full house but that doesn not make them big star . you have get to show your talent . and that be what be miss in the olsen twin . | 0neg |
yes and you guess it . another movie where identical twin switch place . i think now that the olsen twin be get older they should try and make the plot less predictable and less like re run of full house . if you plan on see this film and do not . watch the parent trap instead . it more entertaining . | 0neg |
this movie be definitely not one of mary kate and ashley best movie . i really do not like it and and i be kind of disappointed in that movie . for some reason and it seem like it be a movie that they put together really fast . in some part and it get so boring that i have to fast forward it . it do not have any blooper or any exciting part like their other movie . | 0neg |
this movie be awesome . ( not quite as good a the leif garrett masterpiece longshot ) but still awesome . i think ashley look freakin huge compare to mary kate in this film . i wonder why . who woulda think they could swith place like that and almost get away with it . dad be kinda a jerk though and mom be a little too chummy with helmit head . i give it 4. any one who like this movie shoudl check out longshot . | 0neg |
so i finally saw the film my left foot last night after year of be tell by my mother how amazing it be . the central performance of day lewis be indeed remarkable and amazing and but anyone with even minimal exposure to his other work should expect nothing less . the fatal misjudgement in my eye be that in become obsess with prove the normalcy of this man while the movie choose to show him a a complete and utter jerk . on the one hand i can see that this be a logical correlation while mankind always have the capacity to be objectionable and and disability shouldn not obscure that . i just wish that impartial onlooker wouldn not be so forgiving of aberrant behaviour and assume that circumstance automatically make it forgivable . they do not . act out be normal and and so yes and disabled people act out but they do not do it because theyre disable while they do it because theyre be unreasonable . a physical impairment doesn not afford you the right to throw a hissy fit in public and just because someone you love turn you down . there be certain thing it be unwise to do whether you be disabled or able body . give someone tacit permission to boot a football directly at your head for the sole purpose of fit in be one of them .

i be utterly disappoint by this movie . i have read some of the other review here and have much high expectation . i expect a drama with more intense character development . but that never happen in the movie . daniel day lewis be a good actor and but not as good a some reviewer here would have u believe . i tought he repeat the same set of 4 or 5 movement in the movie . i would rate his performance 6 out of 10. act represent 6 out of 10 direction be 5 out of 10. script be the bad represent negative . i delete the movie from my dvr at 70 min . into the movie . much good movie out there than this . | 0neg |
the novelty of hear clean cut jay leno spout four letter word be the only memorable aspect of this formulaic mismatch police partner caper . in collision course and the pelican faced comedian team up with the late pat morita to track down a stolen prototype turbocharger ( think car lover leno play a hand in the plot . ) . the two lead try hard and they really do and but leno be no actor and morita fish out of water routine get old in a hurry . the film carry a bit of cheesy 80 appeal and but it worthy moment become increasingly scarce a it fill out it overlong 100 minute run time . fan of leno considerable comedic talent will feel let down while everyone else will just be bore . | 0neg |
collusion course be even bad than the typical evil white male corporate capitalist movie of the week . this movie be less pleasant than a toothache . jay leno can act . he good in his underrated debut movie and the silverbears and in which he give a performance consist with the demand of his character . this movie be so bad leno character and a sanctimonious buffoon and be less annoy than morita character and a sanctimonious fool . | 0neg |
there be a reason why jay leno himself will not acknowledge this film . it consistently rank a one of the bad film of all time . the acting be horrible and the script lack direction and the director himself doesn not seem sure on which way to take this film . a buddy film and an action or comedy and mystery . seem half way through and he give up and and be just along for the ride . jay leno and pat morita be talented and dedicate performer . it be a shame that they waste their time and gift make this mess of a movie . jay leno and pat morita prior to involve themselves with this and have spend year pound out their craft on the hollywood circuit . mr. morita have already be a star in his own right and act steadily since the mid 1960s a the star of such cult tv and movie classic a happy day and and the dismal but affable mr. t and tina . and win the heart of america with his role in the powerful film and midway and the karate kid and and a host of others . mr. leno can be see on tv show date back to the mid 70 . and be a top performer in the comedy club of america . he can be see in countless tv spot and in major film . it be a shame and that they agree to be see with this nonsense . | 0neg |
this movie be awful . i haven not laugh so hard at a movie that be unintentionally funny in a long time . leno should have stick to stand up and late night tv . the car in the movie be cool and but the movie by itself be the dumb movie i have ever see . it pathetic and the acting be horrible and and the plot could have be write by a 4 year old . do not get me wrong and jay leno be hilarious and but not in this movie . | 0neg |
this be a really stupid movie in that typical 80 genre represent action comedy . conceptwise it resemble rush hour but completely lack the action and the laugh and the chemistry between the main character of that movie . let it be know that i enjoy jay leno a a stand up and a a talk show host and but he just can not act . he be awful when he try to act tough he barely manage to keep that trademark smirk off his face while say his one liner which and by the way and aren not very funny . and see him run ( even back then ) be not a pleasant sight . in addition and i have a feeling that pat morita at least by today standard doesn not give a very politically correct impression of the japanese . don not even get me start about the story . i give it a negative . | 0neg |
this dreadful film assembles every asian stereotype you can imagine into one hideous package . money grubbing and devious japanese business men send goofy but loveable policeman pat morita to recover industrial secret in detroit . here he encounter a down at heel jay leno and who promptly refer to a murder victim a a jap and call morita tojo . it all downhill from there . | 0neg |
mindless dribble about the second coming of christ in the form of a hippie and albino look sandra locke . you have no idea what happen on the screen with the irritate theme song suzanne be play over and over throughout the movie until when the second coming of suzanne be over you already know it by hard no matter how hard you try to forget the whole thing . this off the wall armature movie maker logan and jar martin and be out to make the movie of the century but be so rude and obnoxious that none in the banking world be willing to finance his project . planning to go on his own logan then spot this couple at a seaside café and be fascinate with the young woman suzanne and sandra locke and who remind him of someone he know in another life represent jesus christ . with logan assistant and all around gofer clavius and richard dreyfus and somehow get a $ 740 and 000 . 00 loan from the bank to finance logan masterpiece he start to work on suzanne by flatter her about her talent a an actress in order to get her interested to be in his film . this lead to suzanne not only leave her boyfriend artist simon and paul sand and but later simon be so depressed and feel all alone take a gun to his mouth and blow his brain out . the movie also have two somewhat unrelated sub plot in it that have to do with a young autistic girl dorothy and kari avalos and who cure of her autism by suzanne after everyone else and at the psychiatric hospital that she be commit to and fail . it not really know what exactly suzanne be do at the hospital but she seem to be some kind of orderly or volunteer there while be this suppose to show u in the audience that she and like jesus and could miraculously heal the sick . there also this newspaper columnist and big time businessman tycoon jackson sinclair and gene barry and who seem to be either go through a very difficult mid life crisis or have see a biblical like vision that change his life forever . sinclair have be search for the meaning of life as well a what it all about all through the movie and want to know why there all this suffering in the world and like this movie that he in and and seem to have find the answer when he first lay his eye on suzanne . sinclair also get some sense knock into his head when his private chauffeur david and mark rasmusser and who get sick and tire of his weird and crazy hallucination almost run him off a cliff in a kamikaze like drive along the pacific coast . the movie the second coming of suzanne go on with a number of unrelated sequence and probably to fill or pad in some time by it director and film editor and and then go to it final scene in a christ like crucification on a hill a logan have all the camera roll . it turn out that the crazed logan get so carry away with his masterpiece a he try to replicate and on the helpless and tie up suzanne and the actual crucification of jesus christ some 2 and 000 year ago . hard to sit through and almost impossible to follow the second coming of suzanne put you through the same kind torture that suzanne be put through by logan and the maker of the film . the movie try to be arty but that just an excuse to cover up it brainless and non existent storyline and even bad the terrible and amateurish acting by everyone in it . | 0neg |
richard dreyfus be and indeed and in this flick and but in a rather small part . he be not the obsessed filmmaker he the group business manager or accountant . even the box describe the film inaccurately . there be no erotic scene with sondra locke and a advertised and unless one use the term erotic quite loosely . i would not have consider view the film without richard dreyfus be in it a a major character . i might have and however and have i realize that the famous 60 anthem and leonard cohen suzanne and be an artistic influence . other than the brief recitation of line from the end of james joyce ulysses and and an interesting visual reference to the end of ingmar bergman the seventh seal and i find it a poor attempt to meld symbolic element and mood immortalize in film like last year at marianbad and un chien andalou . if you like the idea of the eccentric artistic troupe and there be many superior film and range from bye and bye and brasil to cecil b. demented . | 0neg |
the second coming of suzanne be yet another one of those surrealistic film that try to come across a extremely sophisticated and yet all it do be put the viewer to sleep . like other movie of this type and there be limited dialogue . everyone be much more interested in the visual aesthetic of the shot . however and the cinematography stink so there be nothing at all to keep your attention . the video box state that this film be one of the most exciting visual adventure ever see on film . yeah . sure . it right up there with watch such stimulating event a a bucket of ice melting or a turtle walking for a mile . negative . | 0neg |
it be and a simpler time ( the seventy ) and a simpler place ( san francisco ) and where a man could make a simple movie about a drug craze psychotic re crucifixion of christ a a woman on acid with never end dream sequence and inter cut flashback while have a multi racial inter gender orgy regardless of financial responsibility or moral repercussion . this movie and tedious and slow and boring and be the bad example of the kind of pretentious heavy hand art school dreck that pass a art in the midst of the 70 . and i love it . once this train wreck of endless slow motion zoom in and heavy reverbed echo chamber acid guitar lick start you can not take your eye off of it until the ridiculous and absurd end . it kind of a cross between jesus christ superstar and beyond the valley of the doll and and a really crappy acid trip with your parent on a water bed . it simultaneously a train wreck and completely fascinating and and also a great snapshot of the bad ( or best ) element of b grade seventy phychadelic film genre . the plot . i will just tell you the plot because you will hardly be able to tell whats happen due to the constant cross edit flashback to event that may or may not have happen to character that may or may not be themselves and and the face paint hippy freak nick endlessly cavort about in banal sequence of performance art level mime like street theater . logan be a really annoy iconoclast film maker who yell at people allot and be surround by a mostly silent film crew who be always drop acid and have what seem like really bad orgy . richard dreyfus have an ancillary role a what seem like the accountant . the film crew seem to hate him for some reason and break out into maniacal laughter perhaps to torment him . suzanne the titular character be a willowy blond who stairs vacuously into space and comfort the totally insane artist character . the artist be go completely mad and by the way . either from his hamfisted overacting or the incredible awfulness of his painting . all of course terrible nude of susanne . there be some other character that randomly show up and a cigar chomp the man character . who also be all hot for suzanne i guess . he have a monologue . i couldn not really ever figure out what he have to do with the story except everyone have to hate the man back then and you couldn not make a movie without one . there be also a mute girl . the mute girl pay off in the end trust me and it incredibly stupid . | 0neg |
. because if i be and i may have wish it be me be crucify on a wooden cross . i be still try to determine the plot of this movie and i be be generous that there be even a plot to begin with . a previously mention and it a misnomer on the cover of the dvd that richard dreyfus be actually the star . he be barely in the movie . and if he be indeed frustrate a the back cover indicate he be and well and that probably because he say yes to be in this disaster of a movie and couldn not get out of it . the movie really seem to focus on jared martin and and what his role in the movie be suppose to be and other than the extreme close ups and be not a big of a mystery a to what gene barry role actually be or wasn not . and speaking of big . whomever have the bright idea to fit gene barry in the humpty dumpty attire and which showcased his trouser literally pull up to his chin and should be sentence to hard time by watch this movie stone sober . i could go on and on about how horrendous this movie be and from the dialogue not match the actor mouth ( think clutch cargo ) and to the erratic jumping from scene to scene ( again and be generous even call the frame of picture scene ) and to the lack of a plot . however and if youre into bad early 70 genre and if youre in a cottage in michigan with nothing but this movie and a box of kid and cat picture and i recommend have a good bottle of wine before you embark on this weird ride of a movie because you will be thankful that you may not remember it the next day . | 0neg |
richard dreyfus be not the star here . he have about three 20 second cameo and what be gene barry do all over this movie . no idea and the director be probably his brother . this be a movie that make no sense whatsoever . the inept writer or director ( same dude ) butcher up everyone talent with his horrendous uh . work . i get the dvd for a penny so can not complain . but it weird . and it make you feel weirded out and in not a good way . this be the 70 and look like the director be on a bad acid trip and want everyone to experience what it like to be inside his head . it have a somewhat interesting and controversial concept and but like a scratched record and it quickly play foul . it have that manson family on acid vibe to it . i have no idea how the other reviewer get all they do out of this movie . maybe they work in it back when . at any rate and be prepare to lose 80 plus min of your life you will never get back . yes and it that awful . | 0neg |
this movie be exactly what i expect it to be when i first read the casting . i probably could have write a more exciting plot and it a pity that they leave it to a pack of howler monkey . alberto tomba be surely a good skier but he have to thank god ( and we too ) that he do not have to rely on his actor skill to earn his living . he can not play and he can not talk and he can not even move very good on mainland without his ski . michelle hunziker be a pretty blonde girl and and that all . she obviously wasn not choose for her astound competence in dramatic role but most probably for her nice leg . nevertheless i must admit that she could be the tomba act teacher and because he even a bad actor than her and and that funny and especially consider that she isn not italian . i laugh all the time and watch this movie . i find it so ridiculous and meaningless that it actually make me laugh and loud and very loud . | 0neg |
probably somebody heard of alberto tomba . a former policeman and a former sky champion and and and now and a terrible actor . alex lariete be plan to be a tv mini serial and but the italian television itself refuse to show the movie on it channel . now it a and believe me and ridiculous movie . the script it simply hilarious ( it suppose to be a dramatic movie ) and something like a 5 year old kid work . but what really blow you away it the amateurish acting represent alberto tomba and who actually be not believable a a policeman himself and play terribly a totally silly character represent a special operation italian policeman specialize in smash door open . ( ariete be ram ) . this super guy will try to save a young nice girl life ( an actual italian little tv showgirl and marry to the singer eros ramazzotti ) represent nice but absolutely inept in the acting . lose this one and make yourself a favour . a movie that be a shame to italian cinema industry represent only john travolta in earth attack get close . | 0neg |

when the folk at kino video assemble their fine slapstick encyclopedia collection and a multi cassette selection of silent comedy and someone decide to kick off the first installment with one too many ( 1916 ) and an obscure one reel farce make in florida star the very young oliver hardy . as enjoyable a the set be over all and this decision be an unfortunate one and for one too many be a very poor film which almost discourage the viewer from watch far . like any typical farce and this one involve deception inspire by greed and panic when plan go awry and and complication escalate to the point of absurdity and but unlike the good one and one too many be incoherent and unfunny and and downright annoy . it hard to tell at this point whether the hopelessly confusing plot be the result of miss footage or inept film making and but whatever the cause and by the halfway point even the most alert viewer have no idea what the character relationship be or what be happen and and by the end one no long care . the only point of interest here be see the 24 year old babe hardy and who appear considerably heavy than he would a decade later when he team with stan laurel and but who be nonetheless full of youthful energy . in the opening scene and awaken with a hangover and babe performs a highly athletic backward roll off a bed . trust me and that as funny a this movie get . if you read this before see the first cassette of kino slapstick encyclopedia i suggest you fast forward past this one and skip to the good stuff . | 0neg |
stan laurel and oliver hardy have extensive ( separate ) film career before they be eventually team . for many of ollie pre stan film and he be bill on screen a babe hardy . and throughout his adult life and hardy be know to his friend a babe . while tour postwar britain with laurel in a music hall act for bernard delfont and hardy give an interview to journalist john mccabe in which he explain the origin of this nickname represent early in his act career and hardy get a shave from a gay hairdresser who squeeze hardy plump cheek ( the one on his face ) and say nice baby . hardy workmate start cry him babe and and the nickname stuck . although much of hardy pre laurel work be very interesting notably his comedy role in support of larry semon and the chaplin imitator billy west his teamwork with billy ruge ( who . ) in a series of low budget short for the vim comedy film company be very dire indeed . hardy and ruge be give the screen name plump and runt represent name which be unpleasant in their own right and but make bad because ruge ( although short than hardy ) isn not especially a runt . see here and hardy look much a he do in his early hal roach film with laurel . but without the spit curl and the fastidious little moustache . one too many and an absolutely typical plunt and runt epic and be direly unfunny . and it dreichness be make even more conspicuous by the fact that this film have exactly the same premise a that my wife and one of laurel and hardy most hilarious film . plump ( hardy ) be the star boarder in a rooming house run by a tall gawky landlady . runt ( ruge ) be the porter . plump receive a letter from his wealthy uncle john and whose dosh he expect to inherit . his uncle be come to see him and to meet plump wife and baby . there only one problem represent plump hasn not get a wife and baby . he be lie to his uncle in order to seem a family man . now and of course and plump expect runt to find him a wife and baby on short notice . of course and the result be disastrous . it would be nice if those disastrous result be funny and but they aren not . most of the unfunny humour here be just empty slapstick and with character settle their argument by shove each other into bathtub . spoiler come . vim director will louis ( who . ) show no instinct for camera framing represent the actress who play the landlady be significantly tall than hardy and and louis consistently set up his shot so that her head be out of frame . this could be funny if do on purpose and but it merely inept . at one point in this bad comedy and an extremely tasteless gag be loom on the horizon a runt approach a black laundress . surely they wouldn not stoop that low for a laugh and i thought . but they do . runt steal the woman black infant and try to fob this off a plump progeny . somehow and plump acquire an infant cot and but he still hasn not get a baby . with uncle john come up the stair and plump conscript runt for babyhood . this gag might just possibly have work with a midget and or even with a truly runt size actor such a chester conklin and but billy ruge be only slightly below average height . ruge impersonation of a baby be neither believable nor funny and and uncle john would have to be a complete moron to fall for it . amazingly and he do . the most notable aspect of one too many be a brief appearance apparently her only ever film appearance by madelyn saloshin and oliver hardy first wife . the marriage be not a happy one and although hardy marital trouble never attain the epic proportion of stan laurel . only one thing in this movie impress me . there be a very brief flashback sequence and with hardy reminisce about his seaside romance with a bath beauty . in 1916 and there be still not yet a standard film grammar for convey flashback represent the one show here be do gracefully and simply . too bad this movie have no other merit . one too many be definitely one film too many on oliver hardy cv and and i will rate this movie just one point out of 10. laurel and hardy together be definitely much funny than either of them separately . | 0neg |
oliver hardy awakens with a hangover and soon learns that his uncle be come to see ollie new wife and baby . the problem be and they do not exist ollie apparently make them up . so and it up to him and his pal to locate a lady with a baby who will agree to pose a his family . this isn not a particularly unique story idea and a i have see at least a couple other silent short with this exact plot . the best of these be bobby vernon dont kid me . it be much good than one too many probably much of this be due to it be make a decade later when comedy become a bit more sophisticated and rely less on pointless slapstick . now i be not against physical comedy and but in some slapstick film and people start shoot gun wildly and kick and strangle each other and etc . with little provocation . sadly and at the end of one too many and that exactly what they do . none of it make sense and it be a if they would just run out of story idea . overall and not exactly a milestone in entertainment . there just not enough payoff to merit watch it unless you be an obsessive silent fan like myself . | 0neg |
this be the bad piece of crap i have see recently . there be nothing good about this movie . the plot be plain stupid and dialog do not make any sense and humorous scene never hear anything about the real humor . actor just do not play and the worse they do not even try . the script itself be somewhat which be in the same league with ed wood and uwe boll . there be only one good thing in this flick and the fight . they be well choreograph a one would expect of the hong kong guy and and be the only reason to watch prince of the sun . although i believe the fight be just suppose to fill the empty space so that the screenwriter do not have to bother think about the storyline . however and this weak and absurd plot may prevent you from watch it to the end . avoid it unless you be fan of the dragon lady cynthia rothrock . | 0neg |
don not bother try to watch this terrible mini series . it be a six hour bore and an unbelievable love triangle between three people who have absolutely no chemistry for each other . there be no heat in this story and no real passion and no real romance . it be a dry and boring and draw out and and uninspired a they come . and it doesn not even meet the expected level of technical proficiency . take those six hour of your life and use them for something more worthwhile . | 0neg |
tom be listen to one of those old time radio broadcast and something kid from the 1950s to today would watch on tv . however and they do not television when this cartoon be make so people get their entertainment from comedy to music to scary story from the radio . tom be literally shake in his boot listen to some story about the phantom . he actually literally do everything the narrator be say and such a hair stand on end and icy chill race down her spine and her heart beat in her throat and etc . jerry and meanwhile and be watch tom and laugh his butt off at his scaredy cat antic . we then get a taste of what we will see for many year after this 194 cartoon in which jerry torture tom for no reason other than sadistic pleasure . if the cat ask for trouble and that one thing and but when he mind own business and jerry be physically ( and in this case and mentally ) abuse him and i have a hard time root for the little guy . these early t and m effort also be a minute long than all that follow . sometimes that one minute make a difference . it do here a this actually drag for awhile . it could have be cut to five minute without miss anything because the sketch go on too long . that usual for tom and jerry . usually and they be much faster pace . | 0neg |
jerry spy tom listen to a creepy story on the radio and seize the opportunity to scare his nemesis . i do not find this particular episode that funny represent the humour seem rather constrain and the whole set up be kinda lame ( jerry be essentially the bad guy in this one and torment poor tom for no particular reason ) . there be the occasional flash of inspiration ( such a tom literal heart in mouth experience and and the moment when his nine life be suck out of his body ) and but and on the whole and this effort lack the frenetic pacing and excellent animation and sheer wit of most of t and j other cartoon . | 0neg |
the plot be straightforward an old man live off a main road in woodland one day witness a man murder a child in the wood . soft for dig follow the old man attempt to try and convince the police that what he saw be not a figment of his imagination . however and there be a problem each time the old man guide the police to where the murder happen no corpse can be find . soft for dig have a diminutive dialogue which reflect the majority of the scene of the film and an old man living by himself in a house . during the film i find that i be scar twice namely when the murder child abruptly appear before the old man . the rest of the film i have to admit do not engage me while i find the tempo of the film a little too slow . the limited dialogue be not a problem . however and the development of the story and it conclusion and after watch the film and take too long . i feel more could have be make of the relationship and ghostly encounter and with the child and the old man . alone in the wood at night unsure of your own mind can lead to some eerie situation and child be always scary a ghost and see dark water . | 0neg |
this movie be extremely boring . it should least not more than 15 minute . the image of child and animal be kill be little bit disturb . usually i do not write comment but this one be so bad have so many good and excellent comment . i think in this case we be one step closer to honest assessment of this title . what more can i say . i fall asleep during this movie 3 time . it be about 4 hour after i have wake up from 8 hour long sleeping period . i think it be the point itself . there be no dialog between character except maybe 2 sentence at the very end . when you fall asleep once watch it do not try to rewind and catch up because you will fall asleep again . | 0neg |
the thing that really get me about this movie ( that be and the thing about this movie that make me physically ill ) be that someone actually pay to have it make . there be absolutely no purpose for the existence of this movie . it be not frightening and it be not think provoking and it be not entertaining and it be not good . it be a sleeping pill make of cyanide . the dvd case compare it to blair witch and evil dead and and a few other decent movie and make the filmmaker desperation glaringly obvious . it be nothing like any other movie ever make while it be far and far bad . the claim of an extremely shock end you will never forget be the equivalent of one ton of stink horse droppings . please do not ever waste your time watch this piece of trash and because it may make you sterile . the man who write this movie should be wipe off the writer guild membership list and and never allow to film anything again . because if he think this be a movie worth making and he probably do not have much of anything to offer in the future . zero star . may grod have mercy on the soul of anyone unfortunate enough to see this . i be go to go vomit now . | 0neg |
this be really a very bad movie . i be a huge fan of italian horror and argento and mario bava and fulci and yes and even our good friend here lamberto sometimes come out with a good one . i find the first two demon film to be highly entertain they be so bad they be great but this one be just so bad that it be really and really bad . it be intensely boring and the story never go anywhere and i hat the character the wife slap husband and whiny cry baby pain in the wife drive me mad and there be nowhere near enough of the story devote to the ogre who be probably the best actor in the whole film . i turn it off about three quarter of the way through because i be very and very bored . don not bother . | 0neg |
( aka represent demon iii ) make for italian tv although shot in english and be never mean to be a sequel to the early demon film . it be suppose to be simply title and the ogre and which be how director lamberto bava have release it . an american family rent an italian villa for the summer . the woman ( virginia bryant ) have recur dream of herself a a little girl go down to the old wine cellar of this villa an encounter this cocoon like structure hang down from the ceiling . it glow and be cover in cobweb and have what look like spider or insect leg hang down from it . it drip what look like green paint . of course the husband doesn not believe any of this . the villa just be old and creak and make strange noise in the middle of the night and she should just ignore it . but then the ogre itself appear in what look like some kind of 16th centaury costume with what look like a wolf head attach to it and it attract to the scent of orchid . the film isn not really that bad and at least the dialog be halfway intelligent without the ridiculous awkward phrase that dub would bring . there no real gore other than some skeleton rot in a basement pond that really look like the bottom of a modern swimming pool . the ogre itself just simply fade away after it be run over by the family jeep cherokee . the copy of the shriek dvd i watch be defective and with the picture go black for a few second about a half an hour into the film and a flaw i hope shriek have since correct . extra include a short interview with lamberto bava where he explain how this wasn not a sequel and etc . etc . along with some trailer to other shriek dvd release . this be pretty standard stuff . negative . | 0neg |

very low budget police procedural film about homicide detective try to solve the murder of a woman whose body turn up in a stolen car in central park and and their only clue be a tattoo on her arm . although release by rko and this have the look of an independent production that be pick up by the studio for distribution . the cast and crew and with a few exception among them a young and uncredited jack lord and director edward montagne and cameraman william steiner be comprise of complete unknown and and it show . the performance be universally sub par and wouldn not pass muster in a high school training film and the direction be stodgy and choppy and and as mention previously and there no chemistry whatsoever between the lead actor . however and despite the film many shortcoming and it do have a few good point . the location shoot in new york city and and the film ultra low budget and give it a gritty authenticity much like that of the far superior the naked city and a shootout in a dark basement be decently handle and and some of the investigating procedure be clever . otherwise and it not much to write home about . it be worth a look and however and for a glimpse at the seamy section of new york city in the early 1950s and and old car buff will be ecstatic to see the legion of 30 and 40 car in the street . | 0neg |
edward montagne tattooed stranger be suppose to play like a crime thriller with a little film noir mixed in for flavor . instead and it a poorly act and witless look into low budget and uninspired film making . the plot be absurd and the act excruciatingly stiff and amateurish . john mile and who have a rather thin resume in the industry and grin and guffaw throughout and and everyone else act with the same verve a character in a government make filmstrip about driver safety . the movie anticipate show like leave it to beaver and father know best in it unnaturally wholesome view of new york in 1950. why and the viewer doesn not even get to see anyone light up a cig until some shapely woman be interview in a flophouse halfway through the movie . the only thing the movie have go for it ( besides it brevity ) be the excellent location shot coordinate by william steiner . the low budget of the film work in the cinematographer favor and a the viewer be treat to well framed shot of new york city interior and expansive exterior . unless you wish to enjoy the film for the choice of setting and camera angle and i suggest watch practically any other movie . | 0neg |
this movie be just like every other dutch movie and so if you enjoy movie such a turk fruit and de kleine blonde dood . then you might be okay with this one ( even though those two have much good story and actor ) zomerhitte start strong enough and but even that one good scene end up have nothing to do with the storyline . there a lot of nudity ( but me and others just could not find that girl attractive ) and the dialog be laughable ( a we do a lot to the annoyance of other movie watcher ) and and some of the scene be so completely random that this be more of an unintentional comedy than anything else ( like a random scene in which an owl rip somebody eye out . it have nothing to do with anything and be only reference once later in a sentence say do you hear what happen . i be there ) . the only reason i give it a 2 be because some of the place they be at look nice . that it . and the reason i saw it be because we go to the sneak preview ( here in holland we have a strange system regard sneak preview and you pay less money then for a regular movie and you do not know what movie it be that you will be watch . all you know be that it a new movie that not yet in the theater ) . my advice be to stay far away from this film and if you really want to see a good dutch movie watch temmink or zwartboek . | 0neg |
i recently saw this at the 2009 palm spring international film . this be the feature length directorial debut of veteran dutch actress monique van de ven and base on my observation it should be her last . i hate movie that be so implausible that you be pick apart practically every scene . this film immediately leave you scratch your head . a it begin a young photographer and his girlfriend who work for an international aid organization be have a leisurely drive through the taliban control mountain afghanistan have a conversation about their love when a rocket stop a truck in front of them . they get out of their vehicle to watch a talliban fighter equip with rocket launcher and machine gun and rifle and handgun and grenade execute all five people in the truck . bob ( waldemar torenstra ) start take picture of all this when he be spot by one of the insurgent who lob a hand grenade at them that kill his girlfriend . since they be with hand throw distance they can not be more than 50 yard away yet he somehow get away . his girlfriend be blow up and he take a picture of the moment of the grenade impact that kill her and win a prize a photographer of the year for the photo . every scene and situation in this film a as ridiculous a it open . the following year bob find himself on assignment for national geographic on a dutch resort island where he meet kathleen ( sophie hilbrand ) and insert himself into her seedy underworld of international drug smuggler . avoid this film . i would give it a 4. negative . | 0neg |
this film should have never be make . honestly and i must admit that before i saw it i have some serious doubt . the director be not a great actress and though she do a lot of movie in holland and and the young woman who take the main part be a tv personality with a constant smile on the face and not much self criticism . the actor who play the other main part i recently saw in bride flight and although that film be well and he do not convince me than . to start with the the story and i have not read the novel it be base upon and but the script that underlay the film be something that might have be do with in mind kid have a birthday party on a rainy sunday afternoon and not someone of the same age a the director who like to watch a good movie . something really disturb be the overdubbed dialogue and it be most of the time speak out loud . my regard go to the cameraman and at least he try to make something out of it . it be a pity that the film be edit lousy and if not and some scene be certainly more credible . | 0neg |
this production have absolutely no storyline . the acting be embarrass . the promising dutch television sophie hilbrand star should not add this movie to her cv . her acting be far from flawless and personally i think she have cross boundary of professional decency while relate to the way she expose herself in this movie . this movie contain too much unnecessary nudity and vulgar sexual scene and rude language . it also show a wrong image of the netherlands ( a most movie do ) . do not bother to watch this movie represent a waste of time and a waste of money and an embarrassing record for hilbrand and who have prove to be well with her close on on the screen . | 0neg |
sogo ishii can be a skilled filmmaker under the right condition and but gojoe tell the story of a warrior monk and his only rival and a scion of the genji clan . the film making have the main hallmark of a low budget production and include blurry fight scene and clumsy montage ( the kind you might find in an under produce dorama ) . the monk benkei inform his spiritual teacher that his destiny lie in defeat the mysterious spirit that guard gojoe bridge at night and but he doesn not realize that this decision will bring him squarely into conflict with nearly every element of society at that time but which could earn him enlightenment . there no absence of ambitiousness and however and in it depiction of the conflict between the holy and the worldly . artsy flourish in some of the photography and edit help to compensate for the loose film make style . a disappointment . | 0neg |
i basically pick up this movie because i have see kitano takashi brilliant remake of zatoichi and be in the mood for another update samurai tale which also star asano tadanobu . these two movie be worlds apart . zatoichi add humor and depth to it character and subvert traditional samurai movie clichés . gojoe go off the deep end in the other direction . first off and i hate movie that have other character inform the audience what the main character be like instead of have the character develop over the course of the movie . you can not decide whether you be a monk or a warrior say almost every character in benkei presence and yet this inner turmoil be barely convey within the character himself . instead of character development and we get bloat and boring and gory battle scene . asano character be undeveloped and even he look like he be bore and doesn not know what he be do there . i know that he usually look distant and cool and that be part of asano appeal and but this movie doesn not serve him . a lot of the camera movement be nauseate . there be a scene that go on forever in which the camera spin around the main character until my wife and i felt like vomit . the end be ridiculous and rather anti climatic . it too bad that really good samurai movie aren not be make in japan nowadays with this type of budget . the color and scenery and and costume be great and but the rest be just a loooong waste of time . i would rather see one of the kabuki version of this myth . | 0neg |
spoilersthis be an ugly movie and and i be sorry that i watch it . like jan kounen dobermann and it suffer mostly from poor edit or lack of it . it be a if the director be so in love with his work that instead of cut the movie down to a pace that keep your attention and he add all of the footage he have shoot together . there be maybe two cool scene in the entire movie . one of them be spoiler when benkei be petrify and the camera start spin around him . that be cool but okay and we get it . move on please . the camera would not stop spin around this guy . there maybe one or two more cool scene that i forget about in this flood of mediocrity and but the last duel scene be not one of them . it may be because unlike in the early sword handle scene and shanao isn not mask but just because the director couldn not find a stuntman who somewhat resemble asano tadanobu doesn not give him the right to go ahead and make up 80 % of the sword fight with extreme close ups of sword clash . and all from the same angle and may i add . the director should learn from the american produced 1995 bullet train ninja movie the hunt . i personally saw the village raid scene a a tribute pay to the social activist of the previous generation who be confront by the police in the violent demonstration of their college year . the situation where innocence be oppress by an authoritative and arm branch of the government unwilling to understand seem to be a message common in the japanese medium and due to the strong influence of socialist and communist who be a political minority . the movie version of gto and salary man kintaro be two other recent example end spoiler i do not understand . i just do not understand why people who do not speak the language of the movie find praise worthy material in this . maybe the bad be lose in the translation . the end of the movie on which marketing play a lot and be a different interpretation of the legendary encounter between shanao and benkei . but that legend be not the most popular in japanese folklore and and it be so detached from contemporary theme and that after 138 minute of over played visual technique and who care how the director want to re interpret the story . director sasaki hirohisa of crazy lip say that there be an unpleasant trend among new japanese director to ignore japanese audience and and target their movie for foreign film festival in order to gain faster international fame . this work and although it doesn not make sense and because the point of an international movie fest be to introduce to the world what kind of movie be be make in other country what kind of movie people watch in those country . certainly not gojoe and the like . | 0neg |
this be seriously one of the bad movie i have ever see . i love japanese movie and and i think another film by the same director and electric dragon 80 and 000 v and be a masterpiece . i really want to like this movie asano be a terrific actor and the storyline be immensely appeal . but i couldn not find anything entertain about it . the movie take forever for nothing to happen . and the effect the director use like the constant percussion and the exorbitant use of slow motion merely add to my grow annoyance at the fact that the plot be so mind bogglingly slow and the actor be heinously overact . a lot of the boredom be a result of extraneous addition that be completely unnecessary like an hour spent on asano go around slice buddha statue and proclaim how he doesn not worship anything . this add nothing to the plot . a fellow japanese film buff and i be both check the time constantly . we couldn not believe this film be as terrible a it be . and the finale be awful . i think the director would at least attempt to reward the viewer for manage to sit through this and but sadly i be mistake . | 0neg |
the central theme in this movie seem to be confusion and a the relationship and setting and act and social context all lead to the same place represent confusion . even harvey keitel appear to be out of his element and and lack his usual impeccable clarity and direction and intensity . to make matter bad and his character name be che and and we be only told ( directly and by the narrator ) well into the film that he be not that che and just a guy name che . the family relationship remain unclear until the end of the film and and once define and the family be divide the young generation off to america . so cliché . other review discuss how the movie depict the impact of the revolution on a boy family while however the political stance of the director be murky at best and and we be never quite sure who be responsible for what bloodshed . so they lose their property ( acquire by gamble profit ) so what . refuse to take a political stand and when make a movie about the cuban revolution and be an odd and cowardly choice . not to mention the movie be in english . why be all these cuban speak english . no wonder they do not get permission to film in cuba . and if family life be most important to look at here and it would be great if we could figure out who be who we be introduce to them all in the begin a cheap way out of make the relationship clear throughout the film . the acting be mostly shallow and wooden and and unbelievable and timing be off all around . the pecial visual effect be confuse and distract . reference to american film and the black character a greek chorus strictly gratuitous and intellectually ostentatious and and consistently out of place . i only watch the whole movie because i be wait for clarity and or some point to it all . it never happen . | 0neg |
i be probably one of the few viewer who would not recommend this film . think visually stun like all of ang lee work ( each still frame seem worthy of a print ) and i be really disappoint by the film disjoint pace . it really be too long . the story be set in civil war era missouri and and be about a young man ( roedel ) who join the feral force of the bushwackers and sort of renegade confederate sympathizer who conduct geurilla type fight with the jayhawkers and their union counterpart . he and his close friend and jack bull chile play by skeet ulrich and join the group after chile father be shot point blank and his home be burn and presumably by jayhawkers . the story follow roedel and chile raid adventure and their interaction with other victim of the war and include former slave who fight for the bushwhacker ( daniel holt play by jeffery wright ) and and a war widow play by jewel . it seem that every time the film develop the story to an interesting point and it would turn to some other subplot and leave thing undeveloped . for example and the agitation among roedel group cause by former slave holt participate in the confederate cause be show briefly through some conflict regard propriety and protocol and and then drop until later in the movie . a young villian or bully bushwhacker hate roedel and directs much angst and violence against him and but and we never know why . some of the character never seem to surface while i think that be because the movie embrace too many of them as well a take on large amount of history . the historical detail be excellent . i love look at the housing and furniture and clothes and etc . and and i think the lead actor do a wonderful job of humanize the character and though they stumble a bit with the dialog . unless you really enjoy history or be a huge ang lee fan and though and take a pas on this one . | 0neg |
okay . this wasn not the bad movie i have ever see and but i have hear lot of good thing about it and i be sorely disappointed . i could see where the film maker be come from and that they be try to express the fact that the two side in this battle weren not a whole lot different from one another and that the individual be get lose in the fighting and etc and etc . ( well and that my presumption and anyway equal ^_^ equal ) at any rate . the movie kind of bore me . i have watch a lot of really long movie and but this one just seem to drag on and on and on . basically because i just couldn not bring myself to care for any of the character . i just keep think . who care . i also find the acting to be rather dead pan and the dialogue strain . i understand that this be the 1800s and all and but most of the conversation just seem rather unnatural . no one seem to have any emotion throughout most of the film except during melodramatic event . the romance in the story do not seem to be support by anything other than i be a guy and youre a girl and which i do not consider much of a romance and and yet i felt i be be steer to the belief that these people be in love . oh well . i guess it the whole all this horror around u and we have each other to cling to type thing and or whatever . i be also hop for some sort of dynamic between the two best friend ( who both initially seem to have an interest in the girl ) but that be just sort of dropped . maybe avoid a cliche love triangle . i do not know . oh well . daniel holt be about the only character i really truly liked . and sue lee be all right . i do not exactly dislike jake and but he seem a bit too . spineless and i guess . jack bull i do not care for at all . and i be pretty sure youre suppose to hate just about everyone else and with the exception of the poor normal people who just get mow down left and right . it be pretty graphic and have that whole the horror of war thing down and but i have see plenty of other movie with the same theme and do well . ( i enjoy the patriot a lot and for instance and even if it be a bit emotionally manipulative ) but and a i have already state and i be a cynic . what can i say . positive . | 0neg |
i be sad that a period of history that be so fascinating and so rich in material for film can be make into a ho hum event . wm c quantrill be barely show in the film and probably the most intriquing figure of the period . frank james be never mention and cole young and ditto and and bloody bill anderson and who would weep for his murdered sister every time he go into battle be completely absent in the script . instead we be force to watch fictitious character that never develop into anyone we care about . how sad . the costume be wonderful however and a be the location shoot in missouri . i hope ang lee will make another film from the period and try again and or some other film maker will look into the tremendous wealth of material to write a screen play on . | 0neg |
this movie be two and a quarter excruciate hour . someone please tell me what the point be . i mean and i understand the historical setting . it suppose to be about a ragtag group of confederate bushwhacker ( terrorist . ) on the missouri kansa frontier and take revenge against all northern sympathizer and abolitionist during the u. s. civil war . but aside from gratuitous violence there wasn not really much of a point to this movie . perhaps it be a political statement . that war be really nothing much more than gratuitous violence . if that be the point it be do quite well and but i do not think that be the point . i think the producer really think they be make a worthwhile movie here and but as far a i be concern there be a complete lack of any plot . it seem like i be watch a paperback novel come to life and with the character look like what you would see on the cover of such novel . this movie should be burn along with some of the town this gang torch . | 0neg |
this be a new alltime low among western . the writing be excruciatingly bad and character be impossible to emphasize with and be either disgust or bland and the violence be appal and technically not very convincingly execute . and tobey maguire show u the flip side of his talent and sleepwalk through his part with those expressionless eye and that raspy voice of his that here betray only mannerism . ride with the devil be among my five bad movie experience ever and a western never to be surpass in the negative respect . | 0neg |
long on action and stunt work and but so short on character delineation and development that it fail to hold our interest . not always easy to figure out which side a character be on and who do what to whom . | 0neg |
