this film be not devoid of charm and also show a bit of warmth and but ultimately this effort be too vain and too strongly focussed on the lead . there be no doubt that mary tyler moore know what to do with all her screen time but she take too much of the limelight away from the rest of the cast . another problem be the overburdening of the script with cliche . the daughter who secretly drop out of college and an old woman find it difficult to get a good job ( and first end up with fairly demean work ) and the sleazy network executive with his executive toy who go for glitz over substance and the journalist who stick up for her belief and etc . there be nothing really wrong with any of these and i. e. they be all firmly root in reality and but in combination they be just too much and leave u with too much deja vu and too few surprise . | 0neg |
why do the history of mary and rhoda have to be so dour . divorce woman with indifferent daughter . and why very little reference to the original show and character . the daughter character be silly and uninteresting . why can not there ever be daughter who like their mother on tv . it make sense that mary would leave minneapolis and and rhoda would return to nyc and but why couldn not phyllis or sue ann nivens be guest star . it just seem a pitiful way to remember such wonderful character . it be good to see mary and rhoda together of course and but it could have be good and much good . well and there have be a mary tyler moore show reunion and a dick van dyke show reunion and hopefully mary will do good next time if she revisit her old mary richards stomp ground again . | 0neg |
dietrich bonhoeffer writing have have a profound influence on my life a a christian and and i eagerly anticipate watch this movie and find out more about his life . word can hardly express my disappointment . this movie be disjoint . it give no background about his life and no historical context and and nothing about his great writing ( except a brief and pass reference to the cost of discipleship by a colleague at the beginning of the movie . ) instead and we see him enjoy jazz ( apparently in the state ) and chill out with his friend before he decide to go back to germany . apparently to show his human side . ok and i be ready for the dramatic part . the part where he stand up for his faith . instead of emphasize that and we get a very badly act romance with a 17 year old schoolgirl . whether or not that actually take place and it should not have be a major portion of the movie . now . still wait for the dramatic part and or some narration explain what his writing be all about . or something to make u know a little bit of the greatness of this man . drum roll . wait . . wait . zip . nada . this be the kind of movie that give christian film a bad name . all they have to do be set up a structure for the movie to follow and with some background . even some voice over and or flashback to him preach from his work . some narrative about who he be and where he have be . but no . this be what we get . hardly fit for a hero of the faith . | 0neg |
i never understand why some people dislike bollywood film represent they have get charismatic actor and great dance number and and heighten emotion what not to like . what i do not realize be that i have only see the upper crust of bollywood . then i watch garam masala . i could tell from the first scene that this be not a movie i be go to like ( the film open with a montage of the two lead drive around a city and apparently happen serendipitously on a series of photo setup populate with gyrate model ) and but i keep hop thing would improve . sadly and they do not . the main problem be that the two protagonist and mac and sam and be completely unsympathetic . they spend the entire movie lie to woman and lie brutally in order to get them into bed and and the audience be suppose to find this funny and and be charm . the boy be unscrupulous and inept and and not in a lovable way . mac even go so far a to have one of the woman drug in order to keep her from discover his cheating . the script be extremely poor and with repetitive scene and setup that never lead to anything and and illogical action and statement by the character . in fact and the character be never really develop at all . the male be boorish and greedy jerk and and the woman merely interchangeably beautiful . if you go by this movie and you would think that air hostess be pretty easy to pass from man to man . in reality and betrayal be not so humorous . the only bright spot i find in the movie be one dance number that have brilliant set and and a few slapsticky moment involve the french farce and door slam aspect of the story . but bollywood dancing be well enjoy in movie choreograph by farah khan and and for slapstick you might as well just go straight to the silent comedy of buster keaton and harold lloyd and who seem to have influence writer or director priyadarshan not a little . priyadarshan also take false credit for invent the story represent the basic premise of the plot be steal from the 1960 play boeing boeing . the original author of that work and marc camoletti and be credit nowhere . at least priyadarshan change the title for this remake and rather than brazenly use the original without give credit and a he do in his 1985 version of this same tale . ( accord to imdb credit list . ) . | 0neg |
watch on hulu ( far too many commercial . ) so it break the pacing but even still and it be like watch a really bad buddy movie from the early sixty . dean martin and jerry lewis where both part be play by jerry lewis . if i be indian and i would protest the portrayal of all male a venal and all woman a shrew . they cheat for the music video for western sale and use a lot of western model so the male could touch them i usually enjoy indian film a lot but this be a major disappointment and especially for a modern indian film . the story doesn not take place in india ( the uncle keep refer to when mac will return to india ) but i can not find out where it be suppose to be happen . | 0neg |
priyadarshan hera pheri be a nice situational comedy this film however actually lack a story but be quite funny but illogicalin fact they be no proper story yet it somehow manage a nice flow though it isn not anything greatthe first half have 2 funny scene like the one where akshay and john invite neha for a lunch and another when paresh entersthe first half get boring slowly but the second half be funnier though they be no script the joke be funny though one do wonder how they never hear each person voice from inside the room . the climax confusion be treat like a stage play but it quite funny but the film end abruptlydirection be okay music be goodakshay kumar excels in his part which be now become his second skin and but this be his film completely and he overshadow everyone elsejohn stumble throughout and fails in comedy paresh rawal be hilarious rajpal be okay the girl be loud at time and awkward too nargis and daisy and neetu ( only neetu be see now ) be good in part but shriek too often manoj joshi be okay . | 0neg |
i have to say that this be the bad film of priyadarshan ( release alongside much good kyonki which be also his directorial venture ) and it contain no specific storyline and just focus on body showing by debut actress and some silly comedy sequence . i think priyadarshan be become too much repetitive in his comedy flick just like govinda and david dhavan have do in the past after give some good entertainer they also go on to loose their audience . so it will be good for him to concentrate more on script and try some variation in his direction . give u more of herapheri and malamal weekly rather than give dud like garam masala . | 0neg |
do not waste your time with this movie . this be a total thrash in term of act and direct and sound editing and soundtrack . there be such a waste of performance by some of the very good actor . the movie do not do justice to paresh rawal who be perhaps one of the most talented actor in bollywood . akshay kumar who be also an emerge star do quite a poor job . john abraham and what be wrong with him . be that what you call act . i mean he should thank god that he have a pretty face otherwise he would be win razzie award in india if there be any such award in bollywood . asrani a great talent and but overdo his bit a before . screenplay which be not to mention a rip off from the 1965 boeing boeing be quite badly frame . first of all and people in bollywood just can not make something original . on top of that they do not even know how to copy well . the joke in the movie be so overdone and it be get painful to sit through them . priyadarshan may be a star in the south and but he just not fit to make a decent hindi movie . the sound editing be amazingly crappy . i can go on and on this matter and but the bottom line be that bollywood should be shameful of make such a film . the bad part be that some people seem to love this movie . what be wrong with you guy . this be the reason why bollywood be where it be . do you know that bollywood make more movie than hollywood every year and however and most of the movie be unheard of abroad and because of movie like this one . i be an indian and i be utterly shameful of bollywood for produce this piece of thrash . movie like dil chahta hai and lagaan be just terrific . they be world class film which be timeless . among the best of this decade . garam masala and however and be perhaps one of the bad of this century . period . i give it a negative . | 0neg |
it begin on a nice note only to falter quickly and let down expectation . mac ( akshay kumar ) and sam ( john abraham ) character be not properly build before mac bos decide to hitch him with three air hostess . rest of the drama be about how mac and sam and uncle mambo ( paresh rawal ) deal with situation which at time seem force . about the cast and paresh rawal be a very talented actor and i thought be waste in the role of a moody cook . akshay kumar be tolerable and john abraham be very bad keep stumble over furniture and rajpal yadav be the only save grace in the movie . the second half of the movie be funny at time and but in all a dud ( song be bore ) and a major let down if you be hop for some wholesome entertainment and comedy . | 0neg |
probably the bad bollywood film i have see . no plot line . very little character development . full of silly and pointless humor . the whole film be chaotic and direction less . there be no proper end to the story . the airport be film in a shopping mall . same story chew over and over again until you want to say please and just move on with it . even the song and dance be pointless and badly choreograph . the only good thing about this movie be that there be hot bod all around . but then most of the bollywood movie have that anyways these day . btw i be not from an indian background negative . | 0neg |
the first half hour of the movie have a steady pace and introduce the character . however all of a sudden everything be happen too quick and a lame reason for akshey kumar to date 3 girl and very loud over acting by both akshey and john abraham . neha dupia be the highlight of the movie and paresh rawal do well but not as good a his performance in hera pheri . overall this movie be the big disappointment the film do no justice to it trailer . save your money and do not watch this movie and watch hera pheri and hungama again . summarise it represent a cheap stage show performance and appearance to the film no story or substance and the plot be extraordinarily non sense good music by preetam the man who buy u dhoom . keep it up . movie shot all in one room and new comer ( female cast ) be okay a it be their first film but establish actor like akshey and john totally disappoint an establish director like priyadarshan give his bad movie ever . | 0neg |
i watch the malayalam movie boeing boeing make in 1985 ( which in turn be probably inspire by an english movie of same name ) long back . the basic story of garam masala be the same but it be tell in a pathetic way and the classy joke replace by routine one which be find in normal hindi movie ( probably the director do this to suit the taste of hindi audience ) . i haven not see the english original . but have really enjoy the malayalam film ( make by priyadarshan himself ) which be a side splitting comedy and back then . of course the acting by mohanlal and mukesh and sukumari ( who do the cook role ) be so natural and spontaneous . probably and i be too smite by the malayalam film that i can not tolerate even the small flaw in it hindi remake . but i still feel that akshay kumar and john abraham have overact . paresh rawal have do a decent job but doesn not reach anywhere near sukumari . but all in all it ok and if one compare it to other recent hindi comedy movie . | 0neg |
contrary to it title and this film offer no spice and thus audience be subject to a tasteless dish . all humor appear forced and theatrical and mechanical and stag and reminiscent of those pakistani play available on video and include even the mannerism . everybody be scream and shout and do odd thing for no reason . the premise look interesting a it be a straight lift from hollywood boeing boeing . john abraham who be so natural in almost all his film be a complete misfit here . if we keep morality factor aside and even then the bizarre event look trite . akshay kumar and paresh rawal and two experience stalwart try hard to lift the film by be natural but in vain . at least and the character of three girl should be make contrast in order to bring some interesting element but sadly here too all of them appear those brainless and buxomed bimbettes ( 3bs ) who talk and behave and even scream in quite similar fashion . the major hole in the plot be what make the protagonist keep the three girl at his same home pretending that they will never get to know about each other . just to do some sex and what else . the same could be do in hundred of other way . therefore so much dramabaazi for no reason be not something audience will digest easily . but surely and great flesh show and tempt promos always give such film a great initial . now for those who call it a situational comedy and i call it a pathetic taste . sense of humor of such cinema go audience be surely go corrupt and demented to the extent that they be connect to a sadistic and weird and madden type of humor and where it be not the character that they laugh at but rather at themselves and at their own frustration that look how senseless we have become that in order to laugh we have to bear with such thing . | 0neg |
well and maybe i be just have a bad run with hindi movie lately . i ask the video store guy for apharan ( prakash jha ) but be a new release and wasn not available yet . so i have to settle for this one . it turn out to be the stupid hindi movie i have see ( and i have see quite a few ) . no wonder bollywood be the laugh stock of the whole world . if imdb have negative rating and i would give garam masala a 10. i remember see a tv show about the jazzy premiere they have for it release in mumbai . all the usual celebs and their sideys show up . for some strange reason and people expect good stuff from piyadarashan . i do not like hulchul and hungama and or his other film . hulchul and probably dub from tamil or telugu and come across a very loud and in your face fare that again do not make much sense except in a bollywood flick . this late piece of utter cxxp prove that this guy have no brain . who make him a director and even a bollywood director at that . anyhow and to the film now . what start off a a romantic escapade turn into a non sensical woman hunt . two fashion photographer work for a magazine share an apartment ( isn not it similar to no entry where the 2 dude work for a gossip magazine and share an office . jezuz christ and now theyre copy their own story . ) well anyways and there some cook or chef that try to help one of the dodo in his quest for multi lateral love ( aka multi task plus multi timing ) . what happen in the end and i have no idea . i switch off mid way . what ridiculous junk . i can not believe they even release it . and how sadistic to wallow in their own filth . for which audience do they make it the poor illiterate indian mass ( 700 mil at last count ) or the well heel nri desis stay in phoren . either way it doesn not matter . neither group have any clue what make a good movie and probably deserves such god awful stuff . it a short review because there nothing to write about but the usual bag of f grade garbage . bollywood should change it name to follywood . and yes and this review be much good than the movie itself . | 0neg |
the priyadarshan or paresh rawal combo have be golden before with the like of hera pheri and hungama so i go into the movie ( at an indian multiplex ) with high hope and especially after the slick promos . unfortunately and like hulchul before it and this movie be a huge disappointment . like others have comment and the premise of the movie and which be already stale to begin with and just get stretch on and on without any development or additional layering . after a while and you just want the movie to end so you can go home ( if i have be watch this at home and it would have be much easy to cut my loss ) . akshay kumar performance be average at best and john abraham should not try do comedy again . the comedy aspect of the movie overall be pretty week . i only remember giggle like twice the entire movie . definitely no sidesplitting belly laugh that consume me in hera pheri or even to a less extent in awara paagal deewana . paresh rawal have a few of his expect classic moment and but overall and because his role and character wasn not give much room to grow and he do not make much of an impact in this film . neha dhupia and who make only an appearance in the movie and be fun to look at while she be on screen . and some of the song be fun . especially the opening and closing song of ada and kiss me baby and respectively . otherwise and youre good off just pass on this movie . | 0neg |
the movie be a huge disappointment . especially since it be direct by priyadarshan and it be sad to see such dismal standard . poor screenplay ( almost non existent ) and song sequence with bad song every minute and at the most odd time kill whatever humor the movie could offer . some of the scene be funny and but it amount to probably only 5 min of the whole duration . the editing be pathetic . dismal . overall the movie disappoint a the lack of story be only too evident . in fact only a few people stay to watch the second half of the movie after the interval . one wouldn not miss anything at all if you do not watch the movie . not worth spending valuable ticket money on this movie . wait till it appear on tv . | 0neg |
watch that lady in ermine i be wonder what betty grable be do in a project that seem to be aim for marlene dietrich to do . someone over at 20th century fox may have decide one sex symbol be as good a another . darryl f. zanuck should have know well . betty play a 19th century italian countess whose domain have be invade by a troop of hungarian hussar captain by douglas fairbanks and jr. her ghostly ancestor whose portrait hang in the palace hall along with the rest of her distinguished family tree and see no small resemblance in doug now and another invader some 300 year earlier whom she deal with when army fail . besides that the current betty have just be marry to cesar romero and the invasion have come at a most inopportune moment and before thing have be consummate . that go to give anyone a bad attitude and i guarantee . fresh and wholesome all american betty be not the actress to do seductive and mysterious . marlene dietrich might have put this over and but with betty it fall flatter than yesterday presidential candidate . she and fairbanks have no chemistry at all and though doug be as charming a ever and someone i can watch in anything . frederick hollander and leo robin write the score for this film and this be the moment get an oscar nomination for best song . that lady in ermine one chance for oscar glory fell to button and bow . ernest lubitsch die midway during the film and otto preminger finish that lady in ermine . i can not believe lubitsch have grable in mind for the lead here . neither will you if you see that lady in ermine . | 0neg |
this miserable film be a remake of a 1927 film . they should have let it remain that way . what a colossal bomb . douglas fairbanks display absolutely no charisma here . cesar romero be subject to a role a a real jerk and bette grable sings with a chorus what i will do to that hungarian . the ridiculous plot deal with a picture of a woman in a castle in 1561 rome that save the day by kill a conqueror . ( fairbanks ) now and let fast forward to 300 year later and where grable and just marry to the count romero and face a similar situation and when on her wedding night and there be an invasion by hungarian soldier . romero act cowardly and flees before the army arrive . he disguise himself a a gypsy and be make to remain at the castle when his violin playing pleases fairbanks . the end be bad than the entire wretched film when grable meet fairbanks to tell him the good news an enraged romero have annul the marriage . this poor imitation of a movie be make in 1948. a harry davenport and a veteran support player who be in it and die in 1949 while this must have be his last film . what a bomb to go out with after such a distinguished career . walter abel co star but he can do little with such poor writing . the costume look more like those that would come out of the stone age . i can not fathom what fairbanks be wear . | 0neg |
the final film for ernst lubitsch and complete by otto preminger after lubitsch untimely death during production and be a juggle act of sophistication and silliness and romance and music and fantasy and costume dramatics . in a 19th century castle in southeastern europe and a countess fall for her sworn enemy and the leader of the hungarian revolt while she aid by her ancestor and whose painted image magically come to life . betty grable and in a long blonde wig adorn with flower and have never be more beautiful and and her song be very pleasant . unfortunately and this script ( by samson raphaelson and take from an operetta by rudolf schanzer and e. welisch ) be awash with different idea that fail to mesh or entertain . the result be good look and but unabsorbing . half from . | 0neg |
let me start out by say that i use to really like betty grable and particularly from down argentine way and but by the time she get around to this disaster and she have also get round and frankly the whole film be an embarrassment . costarred with douglas fairbanks jnr ( who must have be fairly desperate ) the story be bad and the colour good and and the film far too long . it have some of the old standby in it like harry davenport and reginald gardiner to try and stimulate interest but with no success . the music score be woeful and and i have to say not one tune be memorable in any way . a i be such a fan of miss grable and i always wish i have never see this one . | 0neg |
i get the feeling that the producer of this mess be out to make the most painful and ridiculous western ever make . painful be the best word i can think of to describe it . on the plus side you have nice color photography and beautiful and well spoken rhonda fleming . my sympathy go to jacques aubuchon ( who play the cripple ) and who act well enough in an annoying role and write so atrociously that no actor could give an enjoyable performance . the production value be quite good and which only serve to highlight the terrible story and screenplay . thing i hat represent stewart granger look so little like a western figure and what with his british accent and neat tailor outfit and and silly immaculate always white kerchief tie around his neck . it get tiresome the way the townspeople and his son be constantly harangue and insulting granger and and he never speak up or reply back . i know we be suppose to suspend disbelief and appreciate western a symbolic morality play and but this one break the spell with it laughably unrealistic and predictable scene and the bad be at the end where granger miraculously and speedily and single handedly plant dynamite around a canyon pas that the bad guy cattle will pass through and and then granger plant himself in the perfect spot so he can shoot the dynamite from a very far distance to create rock slide to bury and spook the cattle and bad guy and seemingly destroy them all and save the two main bad guy . next worst be everything about the plot and which be load with soap opera scene . nothing in the movie seem believable represent i couldn not believe what all the conflict be about . the bad guy be drive his herd through to market and want the cow to chew some grass along the way while i do not see why something couldn not have be work out . you need a land ownership dispute for that . don not bother to see it . | 0neg |
i be a big fan of the old western and and do not believe that hollywood be capable of capture it old glory . but not even ronda fleming and stewart granger can help this 1957 movie which carry nearly all the trite characteristic of western of the reformed gunfighter turn good guy . fall but virtuous woman and bigoted townspeople who must turn to gunfighter for salvation and etc . i can not help but notice the last name of the writer and young actor who play granger son . any nepotism there . i have see well act in high school play . chill will play a cartoon characterization of chill will . have i reach the 1000 word yet . | 0neg |
sap at sea aspect ratio represent 1 . 37 represent1sound format represent mono ( black and white ) suffer from hornophobia and ollie embarks on a restful boat trip and but he and stan get mix up with an escaped convict ( rychard cramer ) . chaos ensues . this feature length comedy an ok entry which nonetheless unspools like a mere imitation of laurel and hardy best work mark the final collaboration between l and h and producer hal roach . episodic in structure and the movie culminate in a memorable ocean voyage after the boy be take hostage by villainous cramer ( who shoot a seagull to prove how tough he be . ) . the gag be ok and but inspiration be lack and perhaps due to the recruitment of actor turn director gordon douglas and previously responsible for ollie first solo effort in the sound era ( zenobia and produce in 1939 ) and but whose work here lack a measure of pzazz . fair and but nothing special . l and h regular charlie hall and james finlayson make guest appearance . | 0neg |
stan laurel and oliver hardy be the most famous comedy duo in history and and deservedly so and so i be happy to see any of their film . basically a man at a horn factory be the fourth to crack and and soon enough ollie crack with all the horn noise . he be rest at home with stan by his side and need quiet and and the doctor ( james finlayson ) phone to say he be come over to check on ollie . after realise plumbing and electricity be muddle up by a cross eye repairman and the doctor come in for a check up and and after some test and he recommend drink goat milk and get some sea air on the ocean . after stan practises some trumpet playing and hang out the window by the phone cord and a car crash and he and ollie to a dock to rent a boat . they keep the boat on the dock try to milk a goat and and stan have bring his trumpet . meanwhile and the newspaper front page read that killer nick grainger escape convict ( richard cramer ) have escape and and he sneak onto the boy boat while they be sleep and and the goat chew through the boat rope and drift out to sea . in the morning and the see their location and and the killer come out demand something to eat and and he spot stan and ollie make fake food and e. g. string for spaghetti and soap for cheese and belt for bacon and sponge for meatball and and he force them to eat it . when ollie start choke on something and stan blow his trumpet to help and and ollie rage get him punch the killer and and it keep go till the police arrive and only to have ollie rage get them put in prison too . there be the tiny moment of comedy and but it isn not a great black and white film . well and here another nice mess you have get me into . be number 60 on 100 year and 100 quote and and stan laurel and oliver hardy be number 7 on the comedian comedian . okay . | 0neg |
the twilight zone have achieve a certain mythology about it much like star trek . that because there be many devoted lover of the show that no matter what think every episode be a winner . they be the one who score each individual show a 10 and can not objectively evaluate the show . because of this and a while back i review all the original star trek episode ( the good and the bad ) because the overall rating and review be just too positive . now and it time to do the same for the twilight zone . while i have score many episode 10 and this one get a 3 simply because it be bad . the writing be in fact embarrassingly bad . two people from oppose side in a great war be see wander about through the entire episode . after a while and it apparent that they be the only two people leave on earth a you learn in the really stupid and totally unconvincing conclusion . usually the twist at the end make the episode great this one kill it . | 0neg |
firstly i would like to point out that i only know of the show due to my young sister always watch it . i find it the most annoying program on tv . there be nothing funny about any of the joke and the canned laughter be unbearable . the show would work much good if film in front of a live audience . that way the laughter would show just how unfunny the show be . however i give credit to the act talent of the young cast . it sicken me however to think that they will look back on the show in the future and see how bad their first tv show be . the show link in well with the overall annoying voice and style of the cbbc presenter . why the youth of today need to be shout at so much be beyond me . that be all . | 0neg |
. and how they bore you right out of your mind . the crater lake monster be one of the classic bad film from the 70 make with no actor of any note and an embarrassing script and woeful direction and and a tireless desire to fuse horror with light comedy . this movie introduce a paleontologist who find drawing of an aquatic dinosaur underneath crater lake . a meteor fall from the sky and and an aquatic dinosaur of the claymation variety begin to terrorize and eat the inhabitant surround crater lake . the whole matter be take care of by steve our local sheriff . much of the film when not show pool of blood leave behind from what we imagine must have be the beast dining be spend follow the bumble antic of two guy name arnie and mitch who run a boat rental place . they try so bad to be funny and that we get line like and look at a business sign and mitch say to arnie you spell bait wrong and it spell b a t e. the laugh be rather scarce here . we then see them get drunk together and imagine a tree trunk to be the dinosaur . laurel and hardy watch out . the dinosaur look fake and but the movie be fun in a bad way . and at the very least and the lake be beautiful . | 0neg |
don not read this review if you want the shock conclusion of the crater lake monster to be a total surprisea claymation plesiosaur rise from the depth of crater lake to wreak havoc on a group of local redneck and not to mention your fast forward button . to call the crater lake monster amateurish be to overstate the obvious . if you aren not a fan of low budget drive in film and you probably wouldn not be look here in the first place . the problem with the movie be that when there no monster action go on and it really suck and go nowhere . the script be very ed wood ish and in that it utterly contrive in the way it set up the main action sequence . nothing be too outlandish for the crater lake monster . it explain it dinosaur by have a meteor crash into crater lake and uperheating the water to the point where it incubate a dinosaur egg that have apparently be rest at the bottom of the lake for millennium . even if we could accept that the egg could have be lie there for so long and remain uncovered and viable and wouldn not superheating the water to such a high temperature cause most of the lake to evaporate . other than some token fog in one or two scene and we see no evidence of the water be hot and other than a few line in the script . the script be pad rather obviously in a few sequence and and it will do anything to get the character near the lake so that they can be menace by the claymation dino . a couple just pass through experience car trouble and while their automobile be be service and they decide to rent a boat and head out into crater lake . hmmmm . do you think these stranger in the story could be there so they would run into our title monstrosity . in a sequence that just plain bizarre and a drunk robs a liquor store and decides to murder the cashier and a bystander instead of pay four dollar for a bottle of booze . a car chase ensues and and wouldn not ya know it . they end up right by the lake . snack time for cratey . yeah and it not hard to figure out and and youre so far ahead of the script that youre irritate when it take another ten minute for these scene to unfold . the shamelessness of it all be endear and and i really want to like the crater lake monster . i just can not do it . there not enough here to go on and and this be more of a movie to put on during a party and because you could talk right over it and it wouldn not matter . the film have a slim list of the thing go for it and the most important be the dinosaur itself and which appear in three form represent a shadow puppet and a large model head that be drag woodenly through the water and and a fully realize claymation insert that actually look pretty good . there be also a pair of lovable hick in it and and they carry the majority of the intentional humor in the movie . a downbeat end leaf u mourn the death of both the monster and one of our beloved hick and so every good thing about this film be dead by the end of it . why be i so affect by this conclusion . be it the mournful song play over the closing credit . or be i just weep inwardly for the time that i waste watch film like this . | 0neg |
we have a lake . we have an animate meteor crash . we have a killer stop motion dinosaur with flipper . okay and so let call this movie the crater lake monster . what else can we add . hmm and two idiot call arnie and mitch to define the ultimate definition of comic relief . we also get to have a sheriff who doesn not really do a damn thing in this film and whom nobody listen to . aw crap and be over halfway through the movie and we forget to insert a bad guy . no worry and let introduce some guy with a moustache and have him rob a store to indicate he a bad guy and then have him pop up somewhere near the lake and have him chase through the wood and all this for the sole purpose of him end up a dinosaur snack food . that should work . a complete and clumsy mess and this film . it logic will twist your mind to force laughter out of you . the first film to feature dave allen a a stop motion supervisor . after this one and he join force with charles band for several year until the the mid ninety and when band run out of money to pay him and i guess . the dinosaur effect be charm and the whole film be pretty damn unintentionally funny . unfortunately and that about the only good thing that can be say for it . good badness . yes . the mind bend logic in the narrative should be enough reason to put it on the list . if not and arnie and mitch will do the trick . negative and positive . | 0neg |
well and what be the odds . at the exact right moment that a few redneck amateur scientist discover cave painting indicate that some type of dinosaur monster might have inhabit the area thousand of year ago and a burning meteor crash into the lake and spontaneously hatch a monster egg that have be lie there for over a thousand year and i suppose . the crater lake monster be a movie that literally must be see to be believe and but you good do so in the company of many friend and a pile of ganja in order to make the wholesome a little bit easy to digest . yes and this be a terrible film with the utmost ramshackle screenplay imaginable and numerous irrelevant pad interlude that be downright embarrass and but it also irresistibly charm and so clumsily put together that you simply have to cherish some kind of fondness for it . half of the film at least revolves on the wacky adventure of arnie and mitch . these two local yokel own and run a boat rent shop near the lake and but spend most of their day pick their nose and quarrel over fascinating stuff like to spell the word bait . it be mostly during their prototypic laurel and hardy situation that new puddle of blood or decapitate head be discover in the lake . steve hanson and the heroic but not exactly sharp sheriff be on the case and but only if he not too busy chase big city thug travel through the area . halfway through the film and there suddenly be an abrupt scene about a thug rob a liquor store and kill two people in the process . this textbook wtf moment appear to take on the complete other side of the country and like in new york city or something and and have absolutely nothing to do with the event go on at crater lake . only like twenty minute later the robber pop up again in hicksville and there an exhilarating chase through the wood and end in the dino hungry muzzle . the absurd little detail in the crater lake monster be too numerous to mention . for example and this be probably the only creature feature in which the player discover the obligatory gigantic footprint after they already spot the actual monster . the goof in continuity should be legendary as far a i be concern . it like everybody forget to pay attention to it . night turn into twilight into day and back into twilight all during one and the same diurnal course . the monster be undeniably the best aspect about the film and especially since it accomplish through good old fashion and adorable stop motion effect . the cute critter be a plesiosaur while mean an aquatic dinosaur look like a crossbreed between denver the last dinosaur and an alligator . crater lake monster be a unique and unforgettable movie experience that i can only encourage to track down . the miserable negative rating be just out of principle ( and because basically and this be a very bad film ) should be put into perspective and because i might as well could have give it positive for sheer entertainment value . | 0neg |
the movie open with a meteor crash into a lake . unbeknownst to the local and a dinosaur egg be also at the bottom of the lake . the meteor heat the lake and turn it into a giant incubator . you guess it and the egg hatch release a dinosaur that proceed to terrorize the community . what utter garbage . it not that i mind the stop motion clay dinosaur and it everything else about the movie that bother me . the acting be atrocious . the dialogue be utterly ridiculous . the comic relief be anything but comic . logic be non existent . any similarity between the scientist in this movie and an actual scientist be purely coincidental . i could go on for an eternity on the bad aspect of this movie and but you get the idea . i feel it fairly safe to call this disaster mst3k worthy . | 0neg |
. and it be this film . i imagine that if indeed there be a negative afterlife and damn soul be tie to a rather uncomfortable couch and force to watch this movie on a continuous loop for all eternity . okay and maybe it not that bad and but it be probably the bad film i have ever see next to manos and the hand of fate . and i have see a lot of bad movie and believe you me . this be just a crummy b movie and bad film making at it fine ( or be it bad . ) the thing i really do not like about this movie be the moronic duo they throw in for comedy relief . now and a little comedy relief be a good thing and but most of the movie be focus on the adventure of these two moron and rather than on the hero of this film and who be actually in it for less time than them . to be fair and crown international really destroy the movie by add bad music and do a poor job edit . but honestly and this be probably a bad film to begin with and so crown really couldn not have do that much to hurt it . this really need to be in the bottom 100 list . i wouldn not wish this one on my bad enemy . actually and it my kind of campy b movie . it be bad and but i still like it and despite my one star rating . | 0neg |
man and what a scam this turn out to be . not because it wasn not any good ( a i wasn not really expect anything from it ) but because i be mislead by the dvd sleeve which ignorantly parade it star a be stuart whitman and stella stevens and tony bill . sure enough and their name do not appear in the film open credit and much less themselves in the rest of it . a it turn out and the only movie which connect those three actor together be the equally obscure la vegas lady ( 1975 ) but what that one have to do with the crater lake monster be anybody guess even so and since i pay $ 1 . 50 for it rental and i be in a monster movie mood anyhow and i elect to watch the movie regardless and and yup and it stink . apart from the fact that it have a no name cast and an anonymous crew and an unmistakably amateurish air be visible from mile away and the most i could do with it be laugh at the jaw like pretension and and intentionally so and at the resistible antic of two moronic layabout cum boat owner who frequently squabble among themselves with the bemused local sheriff look on . the creature itself a plesiosaur i. e. half dinosaur or half fish be imperfectly realize ( naturally ) but and a have be the case with the giant claw ( 1957 ) which i have also just see and this do not seem to bother the film maker none a they flaunt it as much a they can and especially during the movie second half . | 0neg |
this be one of the bad movie i have ever see it extremely bore with lot of bore dialog and have some very annoying character and a laughable look creature . the only reason i watch this piece of garbage be because it be on that 8 disc horror set i get . the plot be preposterous and totally stupid a be the finale . no blood what so ever except a few bloody mark on the creature and and a couple of bloody gunshot wound . the acting be terrible . richard cardella be terrible a the sheriff and be quite laughable plus his character be annoy . glen robert be the comic relief and be not funny at all . mark siegel be extremely annoying and be also not funny . bob hyman be decent but not much more then that . richard garrison be annoy and have no chemistry with kacey cobb what so ever . kacey cobb be so so here and have no chemistry with richard . overall avoid this piece of garbage at all cost . bomb out of 5 . | 0neg |
a meteor hit crater lake ( hence our title ) and awaken a plesiosaur and who proceed to snack on the hick population ( in california and that hick capital of the world . ) there bad movie and and then there the crater lake monster and which somehow manage to escape mst3k . feature grate acting and a decent stop motion beast and and more and this be a dreadful piece of 1970 low budget exploitation or monster movie dreck . while the movie be guilty of many crime and the big one be arnie and mitch and two obnoxious redneck who serve a our comic relief . they bumble around and fight to stock banjo music and ogle woman and and act like pathetic excuse of humanity . the character be so bad and they should count a a crime against humanity . | 0neg |
a handful of nonprofessional actor be terrorize by a prehistoric creature . this creature appear in about thirty second of marginal stop motion animation and but oh how you will long for that margin when for the rest of the movie the animation be replace by production assistant wave around an inner tube with teeth . no time for terror when this movie be hijack halfway through by these comic relief boat rental doofus and who suddenly become the lead character while but again you get ta admit watch them try to be funny be well than plod around after the sheriff . only at the end one of them get eaten and the other one be leave sit on a rock cry tear of loneliness that no fun . | 0neg |
the crater lake monster be easily one of the most awful and amateurish film i have ever see rank right up there with manos and the hand of fate in term of poor acting and useless direction and and kindergarten level production value . in this movie a silly look claymation or stop motion animate dinosaur wake up after a meteor hit a lake in bumblebum and ca and and begin din on the local hayseed . in the thrilling climax and the creature and describe by one local a a giant alligator with flipper and drag it ponderous bulk over the ground to chase it would be lunch and before a bulldozer bump it a couple of time and it die from boredom . every character in this moovie be a complete moron . one pointless subplot show a hick go into a liquor store to purchase a $ 4 . 75 pint of ripple while instead of simply buy the bottle and the idiot shoot the cashier and another bystander and shoot at a cop and get chase towards the lake and all so that he can eat by the monster . unfortunate close ups of the monster reveal it to be nothing more than a piece of styrofoam . there a fake magician struggle with a phony british accent ( to make him seem more legit ) and two overly bumble redneck boat renter and some cheesy pre historic cave art do in crayon and and annoy banjo pickin background moosic . in one painful scene and the fake magician and his dopey wife or girlfriend or accomplice manage to pad the movie an extra 4 minute by cowmenting on how may star they can see in the night sky and even though it be clearly day time still . even on constant fast forward and this moovie hurt and and hurt bad . moocow say call the fumigator and cause this cow pie really stink . represent equal 8p . | 0neg |
i have read a few book about bonnie and clyde and and this be definitely more accurate than the beatty or dunaway version and in that it costume and locale echo actual photograph take of the gang . particularly well do be the death of buck barrow and and the capture of his wife blanche . this actress look look exactly like the photograph take that day of blanche grieving over her dying husband . however and this movie be still hollywood and and our anti hero stay pretty to the end and even after be shot full of hole ( in life and bonnie be badly burn in an auto accident the year before their famous ambush and and do not look like a perky cheerleader at the time of her death ) . the script be tedious and and the acting be poor and particularly the lead . very disappointing . stick with beatty and dunaway . their may not be the true story and but it a great film . | 0neg |
here we have 2 misunderstood kid who never stand a chance against a cruel and poverty riddle existence represent robin hood single out by the police for persecution because they be a trifle wild at time . gad . accord to this crap bonnie be the sweet little thing west of the missouri who be teach to be a psychopathic murderer by a fun love boyfriend who do not really want to hurt anybody . he just want thing without put a lot of energy into get them . badly act and poorly film and unbelievable dialogue and unrealistic use of weaponry and gore that look more like grape jelly than the real thing . avoid this bilgewater . thumb down . 5 star . | 0neg |
even though this be a make for tv production and there absolutely no excuse for the rock bottom result of the finished product . this movie do have a budget and it have a casting department and so and if youre go to make a movie about a true life story and and actually put the true story in the title and shouldn not some effort be put forward to try and capture some realism . first of all and this movie be absurdly cast . these actor belong in daytime television soap and or in those ridiculous lifetime channel movie and and not in a real life gangster or criminal tale . everything about them and from their look to their mannerism and just scream of the 90 shopping mall alt rock listen generation . what about the script . two word describe it stupid and insulting and and again it way too 90ish sound . i do not think the real clyde barrow ever utter the word i be outta here . it a if a bunch of new kid on the block fan get together and decide to make a really kewl flick about bonnie and clyde and you know and one that would be totally rad and rockin . well and this sticker doesn not even rank on the rad and rockin scale . everything that can be wrong with any kind of film be wrong here and from the casting and act to the editing and music . every single thing be grossly wrong . and it infuriate that the party responsible for this atrocious turkey have the nerve to put the true story in the title . it certainly not the true story and but even bad and it not even remotely entertain a a mindless popcorn flick that accept on it own term . like i state in my heading and it simply horrible beyond word and on every level imaginable . trust me on this and or watch at your own risk . | 0neg |
while it contain fact that be not widely report and it be not exactly the truth . they take a lot of liberty in rearrange event and exclude people and and use set that do not meet the fact of their life in the 30 . there be more than just bonnie and clyde and and w. d. in the gang at various time and and those people have as much to do with the fact a those included . buck and blanche go to convince clyde to go straight much early than the one shootout and and in fact get draw back into crime . some of the event that be portray in daylight actually take place at night . bonnie wound be much more severe and never heal right . it be so bad she have to be carry around by someone until it heal up and and even then it stiffen up so she walk stiffly . clyde also walk with a limp because while in prison he cut off a big toe . i know and i be be nit picky and and it be a tv movie and but even without these factual error in this true story and the movie move too fast from event to event and come across more a several separate snapshot of their life and rather than be a cohesive flowing story . i would recommend read a book or see a documentary if you want to get close to the truth . | 0neg |
once again a film classic have be pointlessly remake with predictably disastrous result . the title be false a be everything about this film . the period be not persuasively render and and the lead seem way too young and too vapid to even be criminal . arthur penn film have style and humor and a point of view and and be make by talented people . even if the 1967 version do not exist this would still be an unnecessary film . the 1967 version stray from the fact and present a glamorized version of bonnie and clyde and but it be excite and and innovative for 1967 and and it have some outstanding performance that allow you to care . this 1992 remake seem cull from the original film rather than the truth a know and the actor in this version be callow and unappealing and and not the least bit interesting . by all mean skip this one and hope the 2010 version will be good . could it possibly be bad . | 0neg |
if you haven not see zombie bloodbath and you haven not . a contest like amake your own horror movie in one day could not possibly come up with a entry than this outrage of an insult on any viewer intelligence . mr. sheet forget a story and a plot and proper dialog and the fact that people need some basic acting talent and the credited lighting designer obviously forget to show up . it seem to be record on the crummiest of handycams and and copy on even bad equipment . make up effect consist of black mascara for the zombie and yoghurt be pour over people head in order to simulate their skin melting . this be nothing more than a home movie and and a really bad one as well . only fun to watch for the friend and familymembers and neighbour that be willing to show up for the filming . i can not for the life of me understand why this mockery of a product be list in any serious film magazine or website i have home movie of wed party that be way well and more interesting . a total waste of time and money and energy . the sequel zombie bloodbath ii be just more of the same rubbish . | 0neg |
if todd sheet be to come out and admit that this movie be intend to spoof the zombie genre and i would change my rating to an eight . try to imagine a movie where every scene and line and and even every act nuance be design to be a parody . i could probably crap out alphabet soup and rearrange what be leave of the letter and and still have a good script . two scene in particular come to mind when i think of this movie . spoiler alert . one be when mike dad and the other dad walk and i repeat walk down a staircase jam pack with zombie . this be a small staircase and even though they brush up against the flailing undead and nothing happens to them . when they reach the end and the ex marine turn around and say god youre a horny bastard and and shoot only one . the other be in the military complex . the girl stab a zombie with a machete and be immediately surround . the camera move around her for roughly forty second and while she be surround by zombie at an arm length away . she then almost casually run out from the crowd and join the other human . spoiler alert over . these scene must be see to be believe . still and i enjoy this movie as much a almost any comedy just because it so damn funny . kudos to todd sheet for get so many people in his movie and have the drive to make it but not really for anything else . | 0neg |
well and i buy the zombie bloodbath trilogy think it would be mindless gory fun . that what it be and without the fun . this film truly be mindless and it be absent of any plot or character development and or any sort of storyline . the basic problem with this movie be the kill and gore . basically and every kill look exactly the same . zombie rip someone apart . yeah and that okay and but you need some original kill too . i mean it get really lame and every kill look exactly the same and film exactly the same way . thats what kill me . i love gore and and the gore in this film do nothing for me . it be just bore . no storyline and just the same lame scene over and over again with a different person . i want to like this movie and too . i love shot on video gore movie . like redneck zombie . but i couldn not kid myself . this film have it good point and but none of those be in the film . i understand that many of the zombie help out with the flood and there be like over 100 zombie and which be pretty cool how they get so many people involve and help out in the world . but overall and this be a terrible film . | 0neg |
every once in a while and a group of friend and with a minimal budget but bag of enthusiasm and talent and will create a low budget masterpiece that take the world of horror by storm . raimi and co. do it with the evil dead and jackson and pal succeed with bad taste while and myrick and sanchez make a mint with the blair witch project . director todd sheet and his chum and however and be destine to wallow forever in relative obscurity if zombie bloodbath be anything to go by . a lesson in how not to make a cheapo horror and this miserable effort ( about a plague of flesh eating zombiesnatch ) serve a a reminder that and whilst many people these day have access to a video camera and most shouldn not take that a their cue to try their hand at make a full length movie . it not that sheet hasn not get an eye for a nicely frame shot ( some of his camera angle and movement be actually pretty good ) and but rather that a ) he have a lousy script b ) he have a lousy cast and and c ) he doesn not realise that he have a lousy script and cast . which mean that the final film be amateurish in the extreme and and unlikely to be watch in it entirety by anyone other than zombie film completists ( like me ) or member of the cast and crew ( like those who have give the film favourable comment ) . zombie bloodbath be obviously aim at undiscriminating gore hound and and sheet ( who currently have an incredible 34 title under his belt a a director ) certainly go out of his way to please and with bucket of offal and blood thrown about at every opportunity . but whilst these moment be undeniably yucky and they aren not particularly convincing and and soon get rather tedious . so and to summarise and this be a really bad film and with almost no redeeming feature . except for two representfirstly and it feature the single great mullet in the history of film and a sport by jerry angell and who play larry ( as well a several zombie ) . the magnificence of his barnet ( couple with a fetch moustache ) be reason alone to watch this film . secondly and it have pathetic stealth zombie represent flesh eating corps that lie in wait for unfortunate victim to wander by and before leap from their hiding place to launch a feeble attack and which require almost no effort to escape from . best know for lurk behind a door for hour wait for someone to open it and pathetic stealth zombie also occasionally hide behind low wall and or sit in church pose a member of the congregation . normally a film this bad would get negative for me and but and in celebration of jerry angell flow lock and i will generously raise my rating to negative . | 0neg |
i get myself a copy of this film think it be the 1964 film with zombie bloodbath a one of it alternative title . perversely and this film actually have a good rating on this site than the aforementioned title while which may mean that the other one be really bad . this film be pretty bad too while obviously you cant go into a film that call itself zombie bloodbath and expect to see a masterpiece and and in fairness it do live up to the title with the amount of gore on display . but it all feel very old and tired and which isn not help by the atrocious acting and stupid plot line . it just your average nuclear spill cause people to turn into zombie etc etc . the film kick off with a sequence that see people melt and that pretty much let you know what youre in for while low quality zombie garbage . there plenty of gore in the film and and it a real good job otherwise the film would have be really boring . zombie bloodbath look really cheap too and and be clearly put together by inexperienced filmmaker . the main influence seem to be romero superior day of the dead and although it could really be just about anything that feature zombie and gore . it all boil down to a typically predictable and pointless end and overall i can not say i be impressed with it . | 0neg |
ok and i really do not have too much to say about this film and other than this represent i have see over 4 and 000 film in my life and and more than 2 and 300 of those be horror film . while i have some difficulty decide which be the best ( a oppose to my favourite and which i can tell you be george a. romero dawn of the dead ) and i can tell you without the slight hesitation that todd sheet zombie bloodbath be the absolute bad horror film i have ever see . there be simply nothing positive i can say about this film . the acting and the dialogue and the directing and the make up and the music . every aspect of this film be simply so far below what be acceptable that it boggle my mind that this be ever even release . even if you be a horror or zombie movie completist and please heed my warning and do not waste your time on this garbage . there be no pleasure to be get from view this . you would not even get any laugh out of the utter ineptitude on display . trust me . please . | 0neg |
and a 30 and 000 $ budget and this movie still look like it be make for 50 $ . you can tell from the first frame to the last that he do not care one bit about the movie continuity or plot and he be just happy to be make a zombie movie . what the end result show be a lazy film maker who love zombie movie . it could have be great if he just have of give a care . the end result be endless zoom in on poorly do gore and and even more poorly produce metal play over it . what happen when you combine high hope and big dream and a decent budget and hard work and and one idiot behind the camera . | 0neg |
wow and this be a very bad movie . a read in other comment this movie have no plot and no character development and they possibly have some kind of script but it difficult to tell base on the actual end result . the editing of this movie be really non existent and it tend to jump from scene to scene without any connection or anything to assist the viewer in determine what be actually happen . all in all this be simply a low budget zombie flick that be not think out at all and have bad act and bad dialogue and bad everything . the only thing that save this movie from a 1 or 2 be the gore factor and i think this must be where they spend whatever money they have to try to justify make this . unless you be ( like me ) dedicate to find and watch all the zombie flick you can find and do not watch this . period . | 0neg |

let be honest here represent the only reason anyone buy this and the only reason anyone review this and and the only reason anyone could possibly claim to enjoy this be because david lynch make it and because you want to have david lynch child . but guess what . even david lynch can produce a piece of crap . maybe lynch want you to transcend normality and experience absurdity in itself a a pure subject of know . maybe the atrocious and cacophonist sound and and chicken scratch visuals be suppose to imply something about humanity place in the world and about our relation to the real and about the absurdity of it all . instead and it just say one thing to me represent i just lose $ 20 . if i want offensive for the sake of offensive and i could crank hansen on high and let me ears bleed . if i want absurd for the sake of absurd and i could just take a dump on a plate and watch that for 33 minute . there be a single redeeming quality to dumbland it be meta and meta funny . that be and it be so bad that it isn not even funny because it so bad . this fact and however and be a little funny . if you hate yourself and hate your money and then buy dumbland . if not and spare yourself the agony . | 0neg |
david lynch crude and crudely draw take on south park present u with a nightmare of disturb clichés about suburban middle class family . the father be a hideous monster with three teeth and a disproportionately large circular mouth hole from which be utter the most horrendous guttural noise and the son and mother be permanently horrify and incoherent creature for whom terror be a way of life . a number of equally absurd character be introduce throughout the series . lynch be not famous for his comedy ( i. e. on the air and aspect of wild at heart ) and and i be not particularly fond of comedy in general . however and there be a couple of scene in dumbland which make me laugh out loud . there be some clever bit of animated cinematography where lynch conveys wide range of reaction in his character through a syntactical arrangement of shot a oppose to facial expression ( which never really vary in dumbland ) . i believe lynch be really try to give his audience a straight forward and if disturbing and animated comedy here . interestingly and he choose to follow in the footstep of the recent wave of ultra low brow humor ( i. e. most will farrell film ) while add element of vicious social critique and classic cartoon violence and gross out humor . while the blend doesn not really work very well here and it be nothing if not lynchian . worth see by lynch fan . | 0neg |
in film and i feel a though it should be more than just art . i think it should be more than that and a way to tell a story on screen . this short from david lynch tell a story but not much of one . i felt that it be funny but too bizarre to be a comedy . it be good film make but there really isn not anything else to it . a i have say before and i be a huge david lynch fan but i get frustrate by some of his work because i do not see a need for it at all . this be definitely my least favorite thing he have do so far but i know he still get a ton of talent and i be excite to see what he have in store for u in the future . if you like lynch and check this out but do not be surprise when you do not like it very much . | 0neg |
i be somewhat of a fan of lynche work and so i be excite when i find this dvd . unfortunately and i be very let down . it a series of short cartoon which attempt to show a disturbing and disgust sort of humor . the animation be very crude and no doubt do use macromedia . each cartoon have a big fat guy beat up his family and generally act like a jerk to everyone he know . for people who be not familiar with this vein of animation and they will probably be somewhat impressed by it . however and if you have spend much time on newgrounds . com and like me and then these cartoon will be no different than any of the other stuff you have see before . many of the popular amateur artist on newgrounds be do much good work than what be show on this dvd . if lynch submit this work to the website and then he would blend in perfectly with some of the good of newgrounds artist . but and since i saw this on dvd and instead of on newgrounds and i give it a 4/10 and instead of a positive and a i would have otherwise . these cartoon be fit for the internet and but with a name like david lynch on it and i expect well quality both in story and in animation . | 0neg |
lynch . the man have some really great stuff . he know how to disturb u and then reward u by get u think in different way . this and however and be altogether different . dumbland reward be 1 % absurd comedy and earn by endure 99 % stupidity . i may have laugh once and but somewhere around episode 4 i just start watch on fast forward . didn not miss a thing . i felt relieve when it end and and that part of the point with this series . it an annoy series about annoy character in annoy situation and round out with annoy animation and voice and sound . but recognize this and it other absurdist quality still fail to make dumbland worthwhile . | 0neg |
i be a great fan of david lynch and have everything that he make on dvd except for hotel room and the 2 hour twin peak movie . so and when i find out about this and i immediately grab it and . and . what be this . it a bunch of crudely draw black and white cartoon that be loud and foul mouth and unfunny . maybe i do not know what good and but maybe this be just a bunch of crap that be foist on the public under the name of david lynch to make a few buck and too . let me make it clear that i do not care about the foul language part but have to keep adjust the sound because my neighbor might have . all in all this be a highly disappointing release and may well have just be leave in the deluxe box set a a curiosity . i highly recommend you do not spend your money on this . negative . | 0neg |
i hate to throw out line like this and but in this case i feel like i have to represent the american remake of the grudge be by far the bad film i have see in theater in the last 5 year . there and i say it . and now that i have get that out of my system and please let me explain why . when someone die in the grip of a powerful rage and a curse be bear . the curse gather in that place of death . those who encounter it will be consume by it fury . that be the premise of the grudge and i will admit it sound intriguing . unfortunately and the filmmaker take it no further . those who encounter the curse be indeed consume by it fury and that be all you get . you want more . well too bad . some critic and fan be point out that the sole purpose of the grudge be to scare you . the problem be that when there be no plot to speak of and creepy image and sound can only go so far . director takashi shimizu and pull a george sluizer and remake his own original film ( s ) and valiantly attempt to build atmosphere in the first hour by repeat the same scene over and over and over and over . it pretty much unfolds like this represent person walk into house something flash by the camera and or or a strange sound be hear person go to investigate sound start to get loud person see a ghost loud scream and or or cat screech cut to blackbefore the audience be even give a hint of plot and this exact same scenario unfold 5 time in the first hour . the first time be actually somewhat creepy . each subsequent use become laughable a the film go on . by the time the end of the film roll around and my friend and i be laughingly wonder if this scene would end with a loud scream and a cut to black . we be never prove wrong . the film have no liner storyline and instead unfold in a series of vignette that leave the audience jumble . i have no problem with non linear storytelling when it be do right . the film jump from time period to time period with no rhyme or reason . i haven not see a movie in such a state since the opening of the theatrical version of highlander 2. and this storytelling technique mar any sort of mystery that film could have possibly have . if you already know the ghost have scar two character to death and how be it shock when their body be find in the attic . and why should we care when a detective try to investigate the mysterious disappearance when we already know what happen to everyone . obviously greenlit the second the american version of the ring make $ 15 million it first weekend and the grudge be nothing but calculated imitation disguise a an actual movie . the scary thing about the grudge be that it make $ 40 million dollar it first weekend and some people consider it the scary movie ever make . i wonder what happen to those who get consume by the fury of pay to see the grudge . | 0neg |
ok when i saw the preview for this movie i think it look really scary and be quite excited to see it a be the group i be with . now live in america especially during this election i see some very deceiving thing but i have to say these preview be towards the top of list . i do not see how so many people could be scar by this movie . i only really notice two real jump scene and only jump at one . the whole movie be extremely predictable and perhaps that mess up some of the jump scene for me . a for the sound effect so many to be so frightened of i think they be comical at best . oh and the uhh catboy where do that come from and why . the bad noise in the whole movie have to be the weird groaning . how do that scare someone . i can make that noise easily . now do not get me wrong i have always love all those really bad scary movie that your just laugh the whole way through but i do not even think this one have that go for it it be just plain out bad . | 0neg |
this movie may seem scary on commercial and but the actual movie be a reason to vomit . this be a below below average and ( even low than that ) and have no plot . i mean every house can make you feel scar and sure and a dead japanese woman would scare the poop out of you and but so what . make a movie that would appeal to watcher and not just show image of scared people and some hair ( dead japanese woman ) . can you say horrible rip off of samara ( the ring ) . don not get me start with the dead child . not even that scary . so what . he have a cat and he can imitate it and big freaking deal . just bury the poor zombie and save some life that have the potential of be harm by the grudge . negative . yuck . > . < . | 0neg |
my husband and i go to see this movie and be the horror movie buff that we be . two hour later i find myself want both my money and time back . i be so disappointed . the teaser for this film basically contain the best point of the film . there be nothing very scary about the film other than good timing on surprise entrance and etc . i find most of the cary part to be more comical than anything . after view other movie base on the work of japanese writer and i have to conclude that what be deem frighten in japan be not what be frighten here in the u . my advice represent if you be a fan of true horror movie and save yourself the pain of sit through this one . i can not really say that i would recommend rent it either and unless you have a free rental come to you . | 0neg |
okay and if you have see the ring and you have basically see the grudge . it try to be scary by just have freaky camera work and loud sound and but it fail miserably . the plot and if you can call it that and be weak and rather full of hole and for instance and how would the care center have know that yoko do not show up for work when the people who live in the house be not there . and it not really clear what bill pullman character have to do with anything . he just kind of come out of nowhere to advance the plot . it do not make a lot of sense what happen to the original family . who be hang in the room and the little boy or the dad . and be yoko alive or dead when the care center guy find her . there be too many unanswered question and i be too bored to think about it more . | 0neg |
this movie be really nothing besides an admittedly well crafted series of tense sequence punctuate with an inevitable gotcha . at the end of each . really and there be no character development and no real plot to speak of . there be only the most skeletal of motivation for the character to do anything while they trudge forward to their unavoidable doom . it all just an excuse to show a creepy ghost kid ( who seem to have get some of the family cat mix up in his ectoplasm ) and his ghost mom ( with long black hair hang in her face kind of like the ring ) take down a bunch of cardboard cut out and two dimensional excuse for human character . this english language version of the grudge be the equivalent of cinematic junk food while satisfy momentarily and but not really what you ought to be live on . not recommend . | 0neg |
this movie be horrible . i could barely stay awake through it . i would never see this movie again if i be pay to . the so called horror scene in it be increadably predictable and over play . there be really nothing about this movie that would have make it original or worth the $ 7 . 50 i pay to see it . don not go see it and do not rent it and do not read about it online because any of these thing would be a complete waste of your time . sarah michelle geller give a lackluster performance and really should be ashamed of herself for sully her good name with this movie . shame on you sarah for be associate with this horrible and horrible movie . horrible movie and no need to ever see it . | 0neg |
wow and what a total let down . the fact people think this film be scary be ridiculous . the special effect be a direct rip off of the ring . the story . be there one . not in my opinion . just a bunch of flashy imaging . the entire film be a boring and stupid and mess . i guess there be always a market for bad film with good marketing campaign . however and this be the bad horror film i have see in year . and that buffy chick . well and she a bad actress . as plastic a barbie and just a talented . no and wait and that would be an insult to the talent of barbie . i suppose many kiddy help this film at the box office a it be pg 13 and and have it be rat r and it would have bomb imo . stupid movie . | 0neg |
gee and what a crappy movie this be . i can not understand what people find so scary about the grudge . the director play one trick ( i would have to admit a very good one and that be bring to life very stylize ) and then he repeat it for the rest of the movie over and over again . a a consequence i startle a few time in the first quarter of the movie and but once i know the drill i practically fell asleep a the grudge grow more and more predictable by the minute . to conclude and i can say that there be a lot good movie in the genre to begin with and that the so call predecessor the ring be way scarier and that buy a ticket for the grudge be a waste of money . | 0neg |
if you go see this movie you will be hold a grudge against the movie theatre and the director and the producer and the actor and the person that tell you to go see it . shame on you and sarah michelle geller and for put your name and face to this poor excuse of a movie . it may have be more scary if the japanese actor would have just speak in japanese instead of attempt to act in english . i want to boo when the movie end . a true disappointment after all of the hype on tv and movie trailer promote this lame money maker . sarah michelle really do not have to act at all to make this movie . she just practice her frown skill . don not waste your time or money on this film . | 0neg |
imagine that you be ask by your date what movie you want to see and and you remember see a rather intriguing trailer about the grudge . so and in good faith and you recommend see that movie . it be the halloween season and after all . and it do boffo box office this past weekend and so it must be pretty good . so you go . and youre actually in a state of shock when the movie end the way it do and and you hear yourself audibly say and that can not be the end of the movie . but and ala and it be . and imagine come out of the movie theater be embarrass and ashamed for recommend such a dog of a movie . you think that your date think youre a bonehead for suggest such an atrocity and and your suggestion will certainly end a promising relationship . actually and it be so bad that both of u crack up laugh at how bad it be . i see no future for miss gellar in the movie and and suggest that she stick to television in the future . actually and it would not be long before she be consign to flea market convention sell buffy memorabilia and and it can not happen soon enough and if you ask me . horrible and horrible and horrible . the plot do not make sense while continuity be terrible . it apparent that the whole end be contrive to have a grudge ii the return of cat boy . | 0neg |
all the kid age from 14 16 want to see this movie ( although you be only allow at 18 ) . they have hear it be a very scary movie and they feel so cool when they watch it . i feel very sad kid can not see what a good movie be and and what a bad movie be . this be one of the bad movie i saw in month . every scene you see in this movie be a copy from another movie . and the end . it an open end . why . because it be impossible to come up with a decent en for such a stupid story . this movie be just make to make you scar and and if you be a bit smart and know some about music and you exactly know when you will be scar . when the movie be finish and i turn to my friend and tell ( a bit to loud ) him that this be a total waste of money and some stupid kid look strange at me . these day i could make an oscar with a home video of my goldfish and if only i use the right marketing . | 0neg |
spoilersspoilersspoilersspoilersthere be bad movie and then there be movie which be so awful that they become affectionately comical in their ineptness . such be the case with columbia picture the grudge . this cinematic atrocity begin when an otherwise well intentioned american saw a japanese make for tv film ju on and be inspire to remake the movie in english . this begin a virtual tsunami of bad decision which circumnavigate the globe until it wash ashore in orlando on october 21 and 2004. the premise and and i use the word loosely and involve a house in tokyo haunt by a skinny momma ghost who look like a cross between margaret cho and alanis morrisette and along with her ghastly sidekick a chubby and rambunctious but evil second grader . be there anything scary than a creepy 8 year old japanese boy . sure there be . count chocula come to mind . with this whimsical bunch we must add a mysterious black cat who i have affectionately name chim chim . ( remember speed racer . ) a you have already guess and they be murder in this domicile of doom and now desire to kill everyone who enter the premise . you see and a explain by a japanese detective and when someone die in a rage their ghost seek revenge on everyone who step on the property line a define by the county commissioner or something like that and i forget . the story begin innocently enough with acclaimed thespian bill pullman leap to his death from a balcony . my guess be bill pullman get this job because of his kid beg him for a trip to tokyo disneyland . next we endure the mildly interesting saga of nurse yoko and oh no do not go in there scream the audience and but alas she heed not the dire warning and be predictably snuff out like a magic lantern . about 30 minute into the movie we finally see it american heroine sarah michelle gellar a karen . sarah michelle gellar might be a competent actress but i could not help thinking of buffy the vampire slayer and so much so that it be distract . it be the equivalent to have jennifer anniston star in a movie about the adventure of six friend in new york . try a you may and you just can not stop think about the other project which make her famous . but i digress and karen and the nurse be hire a a replacement for the original care giver who disappear at spook r u . she snoop around and meet the ghost and coma lady dy and and some other stuff happens . watch the fair haired vixen search for clue i half expect her to find the ghost and pull it mask off to reveal it be actually old man gower who own the abandon amusement park . i would have get away with it too if it weren not for you meddle kid and that dog of yours . director takashi shimizu and who be vie to be the ed wood of asia and make two unfortunate decision involve sound . first and he choose to use a soundtrack only when someone be about to be kill . this be an excellent devise for obliterate any suspense because the audience get a two minute warn to prepare for another miserably predictable murder . second and he give the ghost a bizarre guttural noise that sound like a gargling gopher . after the movie and i heard several people exit the theatre make the sound and laughing . sarah michelle gellar end up be the sole survivor . and of course we learn that the fire she set to burn down the house be extinguish in time for the obligatory next chapter . however and consider the humorous reaction of the audience and they do not want a sequel but an apology . the grudge could be easily re edit into a comedy and perhaps then it will be appreciate for it camp value . bar that and this will go down a the great cinematic thriller since godzilla vs. megalon . i would suggest wait until the movie come to your local discount theatre where it can receive the public ridicule it so richly deserves . | 0neg |
difficult to call the grudge a horror movie . at best it make me slightly jump from surprise at a couple of moment . if one forget the ( fail ) frighten dimension and look at other side of the movie and he be again disappointed . the acting be ok but not great . the story can be somewhat interesting at the beginning and while one be try to get what happen . but toward the end one understand there be not much to understand . scary element seem sometimes to have be add to the script without reason . so . ( yawn ) see this movie it if you have nothing more interesting to do and like cut the carrot or look at the cloud . | 0neg |
takashi shimizu have a great opportunity with a remake of his original film ju on the grudge . while i haven not see that film and i would have to wager that there more imagination and originality ( or some rip off originality and in other word skill with known trope of the japanese ghost movie ) than in his own directed remake . maybe the script be write to somehow have some kind of warped appeal and or i would guess accessibility and for an american audience . what start off with some potential the hint of something very screw up go on with bill pullman sudden movement just go into a total jumble . and a a horror movie . gim me a break . tension could have be build on the situation a nurse go to take care of a disturbed woman in a house that be haunt but he undercut everything he want to get his audience to feel . scare . how about some music time just so you know when exactly to expect something . a black cat . yeah and why not just make the ghost boy thing sound like a cat for creepiness which and in effect and be only creepy if you want cat . plot . why not just shuffle between past and present without any semblance of an actual flow of how a story could be tell ( mean and while the flashback be insert and be mean to be organic with the story overall and they aren not ) and or for that matter have u care about anyone in the cast . by the time the character and or those that be there for exposition and get around to tell u what be go on or whatever and there little point to care . the film making be shoddy ( i. e. the 180 degree rule be break many time over and not in a forgivable or intriguing way ) and and the performance be wooden even when look frighten or shock ( gellar especially be disappointing and but pullman and who show up later after his first scene and be sorely miscast ) . even when shimizu try for some average old boo scare and like when the woman be in the office building and chase by the grudge ghost and it still silly . just watch when she go on that elevator and the ghost be in the background of shot . either you will go with it and and if so more power to you and or you will laugh hysterically at the result . count me in the latter . i be not totally sure where this project go wrong be it shimizu have to retool it for the studio and or him not give enough leeway with his revamp of his vision . or maybe raimi have some say in it and make thing more confusing and or or dull than they would be with someone else . the grudge give u a lot of information that doesn not make sense or at the least give u some horror fodder to chew on . it cineplex trash of a sad order . | 0neg |
freeway killer and be a madman who shoot people on the freeway while yell a bunch of mystical chant on a car phone . the police believe he be a random killer and but sunny and the blond heroine and play by darlanne fluegel detect a pattern . so do the ex cop and play by james russo and and they join force and and body and in the search for the villain who have do away with their spouse . also star richard belzer and this movie have it moment especially if you like car chase and but it really not a good movie for the most part and check it out if youre really bore and have already see the hitcher and joy ride and or breakdown and otherwise stay away from the freeway . | 0neg |
even with a cast that boast such generally reliable name a val kilmer and lisa kudrow and wonderland fails to yield any sense of depth to this film . it barely brush the surface of the incident that happen on that july night in 1981. kilmer just go through the motion a john holmes and kudrow and kate bosworth be both hopefully miscast in the other two lead role while a holmes wife and underage girlfriend and respectively . the rest of the cast have such small role that it impossible to get any dimension from them . the film also star carrie fisher and ted levine and franky g and mc gainey and dylan mcdermott and a cameo from paris hilton . | 0neg |
i be excite when i hear they be finally make this horrific event into a movie . the whole era ( 1980 southern california ) and subject matter ( drug and porn industry ) be intrigue to me . i think this would be a sure fire hit . i be not thrill with the choice of kilmer a holmes and they do not resemble each other in physical appearance or mannerism . i guess he sell ticket . however and i be willing to overlook this and give it a fair shot . i be a bit shocked that there be only like four other people in the entire theater with me on that first day of show . now the whole crime and story in the film be hard to do and i will admit that . there be no witness to this very violent and brutal act . john holmes be there and but he be also a pathological liar and worry about what would happen to his family ( and self ) if he talk to police about it . in fact and holmes never really testify about what happen and the crime do go unsolved . so this be still really one big mystery and a mystery that this movie do nothing to cast light on . the person write the screenplay have a whole lot of discretion and most of the principal character be dead . however and there be no real storyline and it be fragment claptrap . the script be light and the actor try to hard to beef up paper thin line by overact . the film give no insight into holmes or the other people involve . kilmer character disappears for long stretch and his girlfriend be dull and the police be joke . even kudrow try hard to make a flimsy role look substantial . it be a very shallow piece and dare i say and bore . the director even try to turn it into a love story . which be nice and unless you know anything about what a piece of trash john holmes really be . perhaps a couple of viewing of anderson boogie night might have help here . boogie night be innovative and excite in all regard . this film on the other hand be flat and without any real charm or style . even the music be out of place and with duran duran be play in a scene that be suppose to have take place in 1980. then we have gordon lightfoot . gordon lightfoot . there could have be a great film base on this gruesome event and but i have not see it yet . i have not see even a decent one yet ( unless you consider the rahad jackson scene from boogie night ) . | 0neg |
i be want to make a holmes with door pun but i can not quite string it all together . suitably grubby and over edited wonderland give kilmer a role that channel morrison at the same time . but how coy be this film about the famous 14 inch . australian crime film flash it all the time and skip the graphic violence instead . a someone famous say once about u cinema double standard represent kiss a breast and it an x and stab it and it an action pg 13. wonderland be 14 minute too long too and and at the end the tawdry spiral we be all glad to escape the cinema . how many film call wonderland be we go to get . there must be six in the last decade . the pixilated violence and mute color set the seedy tone but the wobble cam get tiresome and a if we be gawk at their nostril all the time . take a few cue form the door and taxi driver it all become forgettable the next day . | 0neg |
unlike others and i refuse to call this pitiful excuse for a movie a triumph of style over substance ( i do not want to give style a bad name ) . still and it the most apt description that come to mind . a pointless and unpleasant and ultimately meaningless assault on the eye and ear and wonderland leave one wonder only why the film be make in the first place and who in their right mind give the greenlight to this dreary and tangled mess . a biography of porn star john holmes . a study of who the man be and why he go into the business and how it affect him . great . bound to be compelling and bound to be entertain . bound to be enlighten and fascinate on about a million level ( and i have zero interest in porn ) . but a confusing and violent and rashomon style study of a series of murder holmes be connect with after his career end . who in hell care . what insight do we gain . this film completely ignore the most interesting aspect of john holmes life that he be a porno star . wonderland might as well have be about anyone represent the fact that the main character be the most famous male adult film star in history be almost irrelevant . to make matter about a thousand time bad and the picture be load down with jerkoff gimmick annoy machine gun edit and sloppy dogme 95 camerawork and unnecessary split screen graphic and animation and etc . etc . in the absence of a compelling story and unique main character and the director ( and i use the term loosely ) have throw together a dozen or so technique from other film and decide to call the result mess a movie and among these represent the trendy and bleach bypass look of narc or traffic or minority report while the frantic and often incomprehensible and throw the piece of film in the air cut style of natural born killer or 28 day later while the fill every moment of silence with an old song to evoke the period soundtrack of goodfellas or blow while the groovy and retro title sequence of velvet goldmine or autofocus or catch me if you can . the list go on and on and on . pathetic . i want to like this movie . i have real hope for it . wonderland avenue have be around for year while have the context of the murder be emphasize rather than the murder themselves and i think it could have work . have the murder ( and holmes grow involvement with seedy l. a. type ) signal the end of a career and or the end of the swing 70 and i think the film could have have meaning while it could have serve a purpose . a it be meaningless . pointless . who care how many perspective exist on a series of murder generally unknown by the public . the case isn not famous enough to merit such painstaking examination . this film should have be the third act of the john holmes story . that it . period . and it could have work . what that . oh and right and right and they do not want to tell a traditional rise and fall story . they do not want to make boogie night or goodfellas or star 80 or autofocus . they want their film to be different . right . well and in one sense and they succeed . there a big difference between those film and wonderland . the difference be those film be good . | 0neg |
val kilmer and solid performance . dylan mcdermott and solid performance . josh lucas and solid performance . three very engage actor give decent performance . the problem be and who care about the plot . john holmes . infamous for his well endowment and a drug addict and and a guy who and despite contract aid and continue to make adult film and just do not make an intriguing character . the story surround the event lead up to and the aftermath of a vicious mass murder that occur in the late 80 in los angelos to which holmes be link and arrest and charge with murder and and who ultimately be acquit . just like in the case of o. j. and the guilt factor and regardless of the outcome and range quite high in the he do it zone . there be no one to sympathize with in this film and a everyone be a self serve criminal . there be just nothing remotely interest here . | 0neg |
the plot certainly seem interesting enough . how can a real life brutal murder be turn into a truly boring movie . well and you can watch wonderland and find out . i have hear of the wonderland murder before this film be release and find it to be an interesting true story of some genuinely sadistic people . unfortunately and there be zero character development and so we never get a chance to understand why any of this be do or get a good sense of the interrelationship between the character . the pace of the direction be very tedious . this all lead to an extraordinarily boring movie . give that dawn schiller a central character a holmes girlfriend be an associate producer and that holmes wife be a consultant on the film and we should have have the opportunity to gain some real insight into the character . | 0neg |
the premise be intriguing and but sadly this film just doesn not do any justice to it . the casting be quite good and and it be shoot beautifully but stylistically much of the direction be inconsistent ( overstylized fast edit be there do that to no effect . i be wait for steven bochco to run in the credit follow by a commercial ) and character be identify exclusively by on screen coke usage ( and pretty much everything else leave to boogie night for character development ) and and no personable character to draw the viewer into the story . a very forgettable film . | 0neg |

this be the only movie i have ever see that have prompt me to write a critique on any internet site and and that be a significant statement from someone who like the attack of the monolith monster . this movie be perfect for anyone who want an inoffensive movie . it be devoid of sex and violence and for example . i believe that this movie be safe for child of all age . this movie be perfect for anyone who do not want to be entertain and challenge and or stimulate in any way . adult could easily catch up on their sleep in front of the tv while the kid watch this movie . don not be surprise and however and if you wakeup to find the kid have turn the tv off and start a board game . a an adult who enjoy be entertain and who enjoy everything from the mundane to the fantastic in realism and drama and comedy and and action and all of those adult thing that reflect real life on earth and or or stimulate the imagination and this movie have nothing to offer . | 0neg |
i saw this in the market place at the cannes film festival . it a real cheapo prod nothing wrong with that but you have to make up for it with a bit of sex or gore or both . think larry cohen . sean young be an interesting actor well do to the producer for hook her i guess . the opening scene in the space ship come down be hilarious you could picture all the crew hand shake it around . ha ha but i wish the people who make this well at least it not pretentious . | 0neg |
the movie premise be spooky represent a woman get pregnant when kiss by a stranger in a bar . but as soon a the movie begin and a horrible opening scene establish that this be a c type sci fi tv movie . it a big star trek and a bit x file and but more than anything else it bore . when the movie kick into action everything be predictable and cliche . it look more like a 2 parter in a bad sci fi tv series . no suspense and no thrill and but not for a lack of try . just a lot of predictable dramatic conflict between the main character . don not waste your time . | 0neg |
here we be represent two traveler from a distant futuristic world arrive on earth . one be on a desperate mission to preserve a life and another be an inhuman killing machine determine to eliminate the woman who will give birth to the saviour of an entire race . so what could we call this killing machine . it almost like he some kind of destroyer and or eradicator . sort of like an exterminator or something . what the word i be look for . something that terminate thing . hmmmm . anyway and the protector ( who swiftly doff the white tunic he steal from luke skywalker in favour of local clothing ) find the young woman first and impregnate her with a future bear hero to be . the evil uhhhh . exterminator kill some redneck and steal their gun and clothes and then attempt to locate the woman by visit her workplace and ask around by look menacingly into people eye and repeat her name threateningly . then begin a desperate race for survival a the seemingly deathless and unstoppable exterminator pursue the couple across the countryside . at some point he may acquire boot and a motorcycle and but i be not sure . perhaps and in an exciting finale and he will attempt to crush them under the wheel of an enormous tanker truck full of . acid . then the truck will crash . they will be save . but no . he will then re emerge and as strong a ever . he will kill the protector and pursue the girl into a meat packing plant and where in a terrifying finish and he be push into a large piece of industrial chop machinery and and destroy once and for all . but maybe i be extrapolate too much . after all and i do stop watching this movie after mr. protector magically impregnate sean young by kiss her at a bar and then tell her the child will be bear in 3 day . the costume and effect be great in this movie . i love them the first time i saw them on star trek represent next generation too . sean young do another great turn a an unemotive replicant and and career sweat hog stephen baldwin be also on board a young fat cop boyfriend . not sure where he fit into the plot though . maybe he an import from a different james cameron movie . | 0neg |

( i have no idea this movie be base on a book by britney spear ) this movie be implausible throughout . it obvious that whoever write the script never set foot in a conservatory and doesn not know a thing about classical music . let me give you just a few example represent 1 ) there be no way anyone would be admit to a classical conservatory with no classical training whatsoever . just have a nice pop voice isn not enough and besides and that a different thing altogether another genre and different technique . it like play the violin when apply for a viola class . 2 ) how come the lady teach music theory be in the singing jury . if she wasn not a singing professor herself and she would have no say in a situation like that and and if she be a singing professor and why weren not we tell so . 3 ) be able to read music be a necessity if youre to major in music . 4 ) how do angela get a hold of that video tape . that would have be keep confidential and for the jury eye only . now either she get the tape from one of the professor or the script writer just do not have a clue . i wonder which . 5 ) the singing professor give holly the carmen song say she have the range and which she clearly do not . yes and she be able to sing the note and but carmen be a mezzo soprano and while holly voice seem to be much light in timbre and not at all compatible with that song . 6 ) bad of all represent not only do the movie show a shocking ignorance when it come to classical music and but it doesn not even try to hide it . the aria that angela sings be mutilate beyond recognition and a fact which be painfully blatant at the recital and where it be cut short in a disgraceful way mozart would roll over in his grave . the habanera from carmen sound a bit weird at time and too and and the way it be rearrange at the end just show how little the producer really think of classical music it stiff and boring but hey and add some drum and electric guitar and it almost as good a britney spear . i know these be all minor detail and but it would have be so easy to avoid them with just a little research . anyhow and i might have choose to suspend my disbelief have the character and the plot be well elaborate . but without that and i really can not find any redeeming quality in this movie except for one represent it good for a laugh . | 0neg |
i actually like this movie until the end . sure and it be cheesy and pretty unlikely but still it keep my attention on a rainy afternoon . until the end and that be . for her final performance at the prestigious classical conservatory where she have struggle to catch up to the other classically trained student and what do the main character do . wow them with her grasp and execution of this time honor musical tradition . no . she torture and butcher the great sensuous habanera from carmen and turn it into an utterly forgettable brittany spear wannabe pop song . my ear bleed . and and in the supreme moment of horror and her teacher give her a stand ovation . any teacher not in a spear induce fantasy would have fail her on the spot . save your time and save your ear skip this movie . | 0neg |
can any movie become more naive than this . you cant believe a piece of this script . and it ssooooo predictable that you can tell the plot and the end from the first 10 minute . the lead actress seem like she want to be barbie ( but she doesn not make it and the doll have more acting skill ) . the easiness that the character pass and remain in a a music school make the phantom of the opera novel seem like a historical biography . i wont even comment on the shallowness of the character but the one good thing of the film be madsen performance which manage to bring life to a melo like one dimensional character . the movie be so cheesy that it stick to your teeth . i can think some 13 year old britney obsess girl shout o and do give u a break . if we want fairy tale there be always the brother grimm book hidden somewhere in the attic . i give it 2 instead of one only for virginia madsen . | 0neg |
it be a decent movie and i actually kind of enjoyed it . but the end be so abrupt . there be absolutely no closure and it leave ton of loose end . what happen after the concert . what happen with her boyfriend . do she hook up with grant . do she come beck in the next semester . and what about angela . obviously holly performance would knock angela down a few peg and but nothing be show to indicate how she react . there be so much leave up in the air and it very unsatisfying . i do not know if it be try to leave room for a sequel or something and but it be a terrible end and i think that it really make the movie a joke . i be very disappointed . | 0neg |
this movie be entertain enough due to an excellent performance by virginia madsen and the fact that lindsey haun be lovely . however the reason the movie be so predictable be that we have see it all before . i have haven not read the book a mother gift but i hope for britney and lynne spear sake it be completely different than this movie . unless you consider end a movie with what be essentially a music video an original idea and the entire movie bring to mind the word plagiarize . | 0neg |
i have read the book a couple of time and this movie doesn not follow exactly a it should . i could let this slide and it be after all a movie . however i have serious issue with the setting of the movie . nobody have seem to mention that this movie and the book it be base on be base in actual event that happen in nebraska . i live in nebraska . i grow up in the town that this movie be suppose to be base on . first of all and the small town that be talk about a the setting and be the third large city in the state . with a population of around 50 and 000. grand island be the large city between lincoln and denver . second the scenery for the movie be wrong . grand island be in the platte river valley . which be very flat with very few tree . i try watch this movie and but it make me mad to see my hometown be treat so bad . this be a real event . large section of the city be wipe out . in the book they talk about rid bike from mormon island to fonner park . i guess you could if you do not mind a 15 mile ride each way . for anyone who want to know what really happen go here http represent or or www . theindependent . com or twister or . | 0neg |
tv version of twister spring a few leak but manage to remain watchable . my sister buy this at a wal mart a few year back when it be release and i saw it back then and think it be okay . later twister with bill pullman and helen hunt come out ( or be it before . i think it be 97 ) and do a good job overall . but twister be more silly fun while this be realistic with a message . it all depend on what you want from a movie with twister represent twister and or a low budget character study . john schneider and devon sawa ( he the reason my sister buy it ) star and and devon sawa and who go on to wild america and final destination and slacker get his big break here . so in a way and i be one of the first people to see him really take off . i do not know if it an honor or a shame and i haven not see how he act in recent film . night of the twister all depends on personal taste and like i say and it all depend on what you want from a movie with twister represent twister and or a low budget character study . night of the twister have the latter . so you decide . i give it a 2 . 5/5 . john ulmer . | 0neg |
this film and although not totally bad and should have be film where the actual event take place . grand island and nebraska be devastate by no less than seven tornado on the night of june 3 and 1980. grand island be situate in the nearly treeless and flat platte river valley in hall county . the maker of this movie film in the tree cover hill of ontario and move the whole event to a non existant town call blainsworth . the people of grand island bravely survive this awful night only to be forget because of a poorly make movie . | 0neg |
this film be totally garbage . some imbecilic intellectual comfort himself by make all his best to claim superiority of aristocrat over work class . nothing more than a piece of self complacence catharsis . disgusting . if this kind of a movie be set in u and it will sure make itself a big joke . and simply because it come out from the other side and it make itself a masterpiece and a wonderful amusement for certain brain wash and or or brain washing western ( some george w. maybepositive . a typical cold war sequela and some kind of joke anyway . i would say and if this like express in this film be all what soviet intellectual have be think about all those year and then maybe they deserve all the misery they claim they have go through . but no . cause like many others and i have read and watch real masterpiece make by real outstanding soviet intellectual . for example and something also relevant with dog and white bim black ear both gavriil troyepolsky book and stanislav rostotsky movie be a real masterpiece . real life and real tragedy and real sad and real pride and dignity and one of the real best of the soviet era . | 0neg |
it a pretty good cast and but the film have nowhere near the grace of the original italian comedy big deal on madonna street anyone look for an entertaining caper film should visit the original . william macy may be one of our great living actor and but here he put to little use . and his role in the original be play by marcello mastroianni and so i sort of feel sorry for him try to fill those shoe . might as well try to imitate bogart or a young de niro . the art direction be rich and textured but bring nothing to the story and the extra bit they add to the story feel completely unnecessary and the thing they take away be miss . even start the way they do seem bizarrely gratuitous and take away from the surprise of the original . sam rockwell have his odd and genial charm and luis guzman have that odd charisma and but the love story part of the movie just seem clunky and flat . it too bad nobody have figure out how to make this movie as well a it be first make and but then again it too bad we live in a culture where we feel like we need to remake amazing thing instead of simply learn to savor the original . | 0neg |
it aint bad and but it aint good . it be just entertaining . a a comedy which it be suppose to be and it dreadful . not many laugh at all a every joke in the movie have be do a million time before . it a shame a all the actor in the film be great usually and but none of them really do much . and the end suck . | 0neg |
welcome to collinwood be kind of a disaster . consider the people involve and it should have be multiple time well . watch it and if youre at least somewhat attached to the faith that it will get good and will probably make you cry . it one of those movie that have potential and but be rob of this potential thanks to a terrible script and some bad acting and not to mention the strangely annoying and unnecessary george clooney character and the guy who remind me of richard dreyfus but about whom i care so little that i do not even want to know his name . the film only save grace be the weird con vocabulary it introduce . i find myself thinking of it time and time again a i watch more crime caper . this be the only reason i give the film a 3. the plot be boring and the character be neurotic and needlessly offensive and and highly unlikable . they be in a constant state of agonize stress and theyre all so irritating that i celebrate their obstacle . they yell at each other and swear crassly . the dialogue be insipid at best and insultingly stupid at it low point . i find that steven traffic soderbergherabracadabrablahblah and george clooney be to blame for this . they should be try for war crime and if anyone actually remember this crap long enough to care . | 0neg |
there nothing new here . all the standard romantic comedy scene and even down to the taxi sprint to the airport to stop the woman fly away . the only thing that save this be the acting of alison eastwood and some of the minor character ( blink and you will miss gabrielle anwar ) and who obviously have some fun . turn it off when the pair be in bliss and and you would not have to go through the inevitable plot pain . | 0neg |
