think of this film a a saturday morning live action program from age ago . even the small tyke will find this one hard to please because it run like molasses . i can not fully understand how god awful it be to make something too typical and uninteresting and especially in the costume department . too many warrior wizard movie out there have use the same old plotline numerous time over and but this be mighty scarce consider it appeal to the little darling . and who in the world would have let a topless mermaid be cast in the first place . i think this be a family movie . mst3k and here another fine gem for your 1999 tv season . | 0neg |
there nothing i hate more than self congratulate pretentiousness . kevin smith deserves to be hang up by his toenail for inspire every white middle class whiner to make a movie about why they can not get lay . i do not really mind inexperience and low budget production but when the writing be this obvious and cloy it really burn my potato . the money put into this could have go to a real struggle filmmaker who actually have a chance like john gulager . if you watch project greenlight you will immediately recognize a talented visionary who be fight against the system . anybody could grab a camera and make a talkative picture that doesn not manage to say anything really and at all . when will we be save from the smithonites and whedonettes of the world . the revolution can not come soon enough . go watch a real first time effort by buy desperado or search out friend with benefit . thank you and good day . | 0neg |
in his 1966 film blow up and antonioni have his hero question truth against a backdrop of british youth protester . by set such question against a fabric of hippie youth movement and antonioni question and intentionally or not and the effectiveness of these organisation . how can you fight for a cause when what you think be true may actually be a lie . on the flip side and the film say that we must fight and actively challenge what we see precisely because others may be deceive u with false image and false truth . though the hippie aspect be the most tacky part of blow up and they create a nice texture and give the film more meaning than it might otherwise have have . it be a very cautionary and mature little film . with zabriskie point antonioni throw away all the ambiguity and subtlety of blow up and go full blown hippie . the result be a film awash with bad metaphor and stupid idea and heavy hand storytelling . how could somebody and who across his career display such restraint and intelligence and make something so silly . the film open with a nice series of close ups and a we watch a group of radical discuss the meaning of revolution . suddenly one man ( mark ) get up and leaf . he hat the rigid and ordered nature of revolution . he recognise that and though revolutionary fight for freedom and to bind oneself to such a militant cause be to effectively give your freedom away . and so like jack nicholson in the passenger and mark just want to be free . a such and mark buy a gun and go solo . he take order from no one . when police raid his university campus mark shoot a guy and run away . he then flee to a nearby airfield and steal a small private plane and fly out to the desert . antonioni treat the desert a a peaceful utopia and and contrast it with the ruthlessly capitalist city and with their billboard and hollow modern appliance . he see the desert a a sort of garden of eden . in the desert and mark meet daria and quickly fall in love . antonioni then give u a ridiculous sex scene in which hundred of hippy have sex in the sand . free from the constraint of modern life and these tree hugger and student radical can now celebrate their individualism by hump in the sun . the film end with mark dying and daria fantasise about blow up the mansion and stately home of the rich capitalist who kill him . it antonioni challenge to his audience . pick up the gun and picket and explosive and he say . tear the wall down before they cage you in . of course the film have no effect on it audience . they recognise zabriskie point a be just another self centre commercial attempt at be radical . a sort of commodified radicalism . it felt untruthful and tame . thematically the film be pretty stupid . antonioni basically say that if you be unhappy with the modern world and and the fat cat who exploit you and you should either flee to the desert ( mark ) or actively fight the system ( daria ) . that all well and good . but though artist constantly warn u of such dystopian nightmare and theyre all mostly unable to show u how to effectively administer change . like the end of fight club and nihilism and violence achieve nothing . in the real world and social change tend to be instigate by humble inventor and spur ahead by minor technological advancement . i mean and what liberate woman more than contraceptive . negative a very bad film . the problem be and antonioni do not really believe in rebellion . he be a quiet and contemplative man . an introvert who seem to have make an extroverted film simply to garner more adoration from the counterculture who embrace his early film and blow up . a such and zabrinskie point come across a a very pretentious and stupid film . it essentially a 50 year old man say look at me and i be a daring rebel . there be many film in which the audience be encourage to fight the system and but they all fall into one of four category . in the first category you have film like network and cool hand luke and cuckoo nest and spartacus . these all show that the life of freedom fighter all end in failure and though in each case the spirit of revolution survives . the message be that you can not effect change and but by die or fail and the optimistic notion of change survives through martyrdom . essentially we must keep on fail rather than give up hope . then you have film like fight club and zabriskie point and fall down and which simply encourage you to explode . tear it all down . blow it all up . everything be a lie and so you might as well go out guns blaze . these film be borne out of angry and reactionary feeling and rather than any sort of common sense . then you have the flight rather than fight category . terrence malick and antonioni be the master of this genre . film like the passenger and red desert and badlands show human being run from world they do not like and forge island or peaceful haven for themselves . both director be pessimist and in that malick have his island destroy and antonioni have his island offer no sense of happiness or solution . then you have the fourth category . film like donnersmarck the life of others and ashby bound for glory and kubrick a clockwork orange and treat artist a a force of change and rebellion . in these dystopian world and in which everyone be content to be a slave to the state and it be the unbridled creativity and freedom of will of the artist or criminal who keep the system in check . by simply exist outside of the herd and you create wave . your comment and action and critical eye and challenge the status quo . a such and donnersmarck film have novelist and artist undermine nazi germany and whilst kubrick have alex the artist or criminal fighting nazi droogs and paint the town in blood and sperm . | 0neg |
i admit and have come of age in the hippie dippy age and i be a sucker for these kind of movie . i can enjoy some of the schlock of the hippie genre far more than most normal people . however and this movie be simply awful in every conceivable way . every trite perception of the hippie silliness be present a gospel and cop kill a young long hair when he peacefully land a plane . this movie be so horrible that it be not even funny to watch a a goof on the excess of the hippie drone . it be like a left wing version of dragnet and except without professional actor . the only reason i give it two star be because there be some obscurity of interest on the soundtrack and besides and i couldn not find a selection for negative star . no actor and almost no plot and sheeze and barely even a script . you get it and an art movie . all this do at root canal drilling slowness and drag out each meaningless scene just to fill up time . in a bizarre twist of life imitate art and the star nonactor of the movie join a commune in real life and rob a bank in boston and one of his co robber be kill and he be send to jail where he be kill in a suspicious weightlifting accident . and just think and he get to leave this behind a a legacy . oy vey . | 0neg |
antonioni movie have age not well . what always surprise me about them be that and besides an unquestionable plastic beauty and there be a dull and didactic psychology of the character and situation . remember and for instance and the conversation between mastroianni and the wicked capitalistic that want sing up him in la notte and or monica vitti laughing at the peasant flirt in the train in la aventura and or ferzetti drop the glass of ink at the end of the same film . i have review yesterday zabriskie point . in this film there be a lot of nice and elaborate shot of the rod taylor office and the street and highway of l. a. and the publicity advertisement and the desert and etc . and that show the fascination of the author in his american journey and in the same way than wim wenders year later . unfortunately and there be too a lot of hippie leftist clichés that spoil the movie represent the boy leave the meeting and steal an aeroplane and fly over the desert in order to liberate himself and find something different . the executive in grey suite speak all the time about speculation . the girl look at the object woman in the swimming pool and leave because she want not to be like them . the couple of fat middle class in the caravan speak and in front of the beauty of the nature and of build a hotel and earn a lot of money . last but not the least and a lot of couple make love in the desert . what a hippie platitude . sorry and today and half a century after the revolution of la aventura we can see that the king be naked and and his film ( except le amiche and perhaps il grido ) be only a handful of aestheticism and commonplace . | 0neg |
this film be definitely a product of it time and see in any other context and it be an incredibly stupid movie . heck and even see in it proper context and it pretty bad . mostly and this be due to a silly plot and very self indulgent direction by the famed italian director and michelangelo antonioni . in this case and he try to meld a very artsy style film with an anti establishment hippie film and only succeed in produce a bomb of gargantuan proportion . the film begin with a rap session where a lot of with it student sit around say such platitude a power to the people and complain about the man . consider most of these hippy have parent send them to college and it seem a bit silly for these privileged kid to be complain so loudly and shout revolutionary jargon . a bit later and violence between the student and the establishment pig break out and a cop be kill . our hero and mark and may or may not have do it and but he be force to run to avoid prosecution . instead of head to mexico or canada and he do what only a total moron would do steal an airplane and fly it to the mojave desert . there and he meet a happen chick and they then sit around philosophize for hour . then and they have sex in one of the weirder sex scene in cinema history . a they gyrate about in the dust and suddenly other couple appear from no where and there be a huge orgy scene . while you see a bit of skin ( warrant an r rating ) and it not as explicit a it could have be . in fact and it last so long and seem so choreographed that it just boggle the mind . and of course and when they be finish and the many and many other couple vanish into thin air . oddly and later the couple paint the plane with some help and it look a lot like a peter max creation . despite improve the look of the plane and the evil cop respond to his return the plane by shoot the nice revolutionary . when the girl find out and she go into a semi catatonic state and the movie end with her seemingly imagine the destruction of her own fascist pig parent and all the evil that they stand for ( such a hard work and responsibility ) . instead of one simple explosion and you see the same enormous house explode about 8 time . then and inexplicably and you see tvs and refrigerator and other thing explode in slow motion . while dumb and it be rather cool to watch sort of like when david letterman blow thing up or smash thing on his show . aside from a dopey plot and the film suffers from a strong need for a single likable character as well a extensive editing . at least 15 minute could easily be remove to speed thing up a bit especially since there really isn not all that much plot or dialog . the bottom line be that this be an incredibly dumb film and i be not surprised to see it list in the fifty bad film book by harry medved . it a well deserve addition to this pantheon of crap . for such a famed director to spend so much money to produce such a craptastic film be a crime . two final observation . if you like laugh at silly hippie movie and also try watch the trial of billy jack . also and in a case of art imitate life and the lead and mark frechette and act out his character in real life . he die at age 27 in prison a few year after participate in an act of revolution in which he and some friend rob a bank and kill an innocent person . dang hippy . | 0neg |
antonioni and by make this film and have assume the role of papa smurf to all the little long haired and american and radical student smurfs . he have take them under the guide protection of his european communist wing and show appreciation and support for their confused american way . ( these smurfs be red and wear blue and not the other way around . ) the radical smurfs be happy to get the guidance of a wise old man with gray hair who regularly prey to the god of all long haired smurfs and lenin the communist another wise old man whose beard make the smurfs take him even more seriously and for it symbolize something wise and though they do not quite know why they regard the beard to have this kind of deep effect on them . castro and another wise beard man and have often profit from this confusion and exude magical power with his beard over his naive overseas admirer . ( not to mention che guevara represent that beard have a certain je ne sais pa quoi about it and make one want to immediately embrace marx and his lovely and pacifistic teaching ) the film start with a muddled meeting of radically stupid radical student and who engage in dialogue that truly redefine the word confuse . as confused a a blind fold dog fall of a high story building into a bottomless pit . suddenly and the movie hero ( well and antonioni hero ) rise up and say something to his pathetic leave wing peer and then leaf and hop that this display of mega coolness will improve his james dean image and vastly increase his chance of get lay with the best chick in the next mass hippie orgy . eventually he get into trouble with cop ( i. e. pig ) at a rally and and spend the movie under the blue american capitalist sky and look for freedom or something like that . antonioni predictable assault on capitalism be not only intellectually hollow and but have ( or have ) nothing new to offer while it just the same old trigger happy one dimensional cop and businessmen discuss business deal ( and what wrong with that and isn not that how antonioni movie get make . ) and and endless shot of tv commercial and billboard advertise the oh so morally decadent product for the abhorrent and selfish and and greedy right wing rabble population who think of no one but themselves and their family and their work and and their child . papa smurf antonioni and just like his long haired smurfs and smurfettes of the late 60 and fail to notice the most obvious and vital aspect about their silly movement represent they be allow to have their laughable meeting and express their anti establishment opinion freely within that very establishment and whereas the student in those country whose left wing system they admire and do not ( and still do not ) . by far the great irony about the hippy and antonioni and naturally and fail to realize this as well ( his judgment be cloud by cocaine snorting and an excessive intake of lsd ) be that hippy be ( be ) the garbage residue of capitalism . this be an incredible irony . only in a successfully functioning capitalist system can you find that specie call hippie while a spoiled and ungrateful and and selfish bunch of middle and upper middle class loser . the film itself seem to go on forever . antonioni take his sweet time with get on with it and while include overlong scene of pointlessness and with a high dullness factor . his attempt at symbolism be annoy and trite . his statement be highly dubious and at best . this film be antonioni way of say that violent revolution be the solution . and this be what we get from an old and saturated and filthy rich and fat film maker who live in villa and dines in the best french and italian restaurant . i do not remember see any major western movie about the tiananmen massacre of thousand of student in china . but when one western student get shoot for wave che guevara face into all our face and we get ten major film about it at once . i suppose this mean that a chinese life be worth a thousand time less than a western one at least to the left wing hypocrite who infest movie . if youre a marxist neo hippy and dislike this awful review and please klick no below . | 0neg |
here be one of those educational short film make to learn the unknown people out there about fact of life . this time the target audience be preteen girl and the fact of life be menstruation . this animated film and create by walt disney picture and apparently with some sponsor from kotex . it start with explain how hormone make you grow and develop . with the help of animation and a female narrator it show u how the body and especially the ovary and uterus and vagina and work and why this all lead to menstruation . it be almost amazing and become the comic note here and how the subject of sex be avoid . even the word be never mention although furtilized will pass once . i do not really know why i saw this and but since it be one of those rare short film that could give an impression of an innocent time and you might want to give it a try . | 0neg |
a bad one . oh and my . this be one of the movie and which doesn not have even one positive effect . just everything from actor to story stink to the sky . i just wonder how low i. q. you should have to watch this kind of flick and even enjoy . be there something than this be worth watch for . well and there be a lot of nudity involve and but it nothing particular . and when you just think that it couldn not get bad and your realize that all the naked lady look like there be forty year old . c amon guy and where do you search for these actress . in elderly home and perhaps . anyway and the lead actress have some sex appeal and know how to show it . again and too bad and that she be too skinny and old . all in all and skip these one . negative . | 0neg |
istanbul be another one of those expatriate film that errol flynn be make in the last decade of his life try to support his family and stay out of trouble with the irs . it a remake of the fred macmurray ava gardner film singapore from a decade ago . unlike that studio product and istanbul have the advantage of that great location cinematography right at the sight of the golden horn . but errol flynn and who be age exponentially before the camera in every film and be way too old to be play these action or adventure type any longer . his scene with cornell borchers really do lack conviction . a for cornell and she play errol former sweetheart who through the trauma of be save from a fire now have amnesia . she both doesn not remember errol and be now marry to torin thatcher . but errol get some nasty people lead by martin benson and werner klemperer who be after some diamond which have come into his possession . get to deal with them too . best reason to see istanbul be to hear nat king cole sing and play the piano . most people today do not realize that cole be an accomplished jazz pianist and they only think of him a a singer . actually he be a pianist first and the singing be an afterthought . istanbul be a routine action or adventure film for those who be fan of that type of movie . | 0neg |
this movie do not rock and a others have say . i find it really boring and silly . the story be about this metal high school kid who idolize this really bad heavy metal singer . the singer dy and but not before make one last album that be to be play over the radio at and of course and midnight on halloween ( which would actually make it november 1st and a much less potent date to be sure ) . the kid get a copy of the record and it contain secret hidden back play message . it also be the key that open the door so that the really bad metal singer can return to bring havoc and death to the world . the first part of this film be not a horror film at all and but rather an after school special . we see the metal kid ( the outsider ) torment over and over by the popular kid . and he fail to learn the most important lesson in high school movie represent when the cool kid who bully you suddenly invite you to a party and dont go . it be a trap . especially if it be a pool party . anybody surprise when he end up in the water . it be such an after school special that i keep wait for melissa sue anderson to show up and teach jody foster a lesson . so back to the horror part of the film . so this metal kid get some power and instead of use them to kill the bully boy ( which would have make much more sense ) and he freak out and try to protect all of the bully boy and girl from harm . what . a sensitive hero . what fun be that in a horror movie . thank goodness carrie white do not follow this lesson . he actually try to prevent have the music play at the halloween dance and the very music that could unleash a power to kill all the kid who have be mean to him . if it be me and i would have put that music on and and pronto . the rest of the movie be about this metal kid go around town try to kill the horrible metal star he idolize . why not partner with him and really do some damage . why you ask . it seem he be in love with one of the popular girl and do not want her hurt . more appropriate for a molly ringwald film . be this a horror film or an episode of beauty and the beast . the movie just go on and on at this point and with no scare and horror and or anything worth watch . if you go to high school in the late 80 like i do and this movie be fun to have a little flashback to fashion and big hair and but that be it for this film . skip it and stay home and just listen to some kiss . | 0neg |
skippy from family tie play eddie and a wussy ametal nerd who get pick on . when his favorite wussy ametal singer and sammi curr and dy and he throw a hissy fit tear down all the poster on his bedroom wall . but when he later get an unreleased record that hold the spirit of his dead ametal idol . he first get suck into idea of revenge and but then he doesn not want to take it as far a sammi do . which isn not really that far a his main victim only seem to go to the hospital . this movie be utterly laughable and have about as much to do with real metal a say and rock star . ok and maybe a tad more than that piece of junk and but you get my point . and how anyone can root for a guy play by skippy from family tie i haven not a clue . the cameo by gene simmons be ok and and ozzy osbourne reach coherency and i applaud him for that and but otherwise skip this one . my grade represent d eye candy representelise richards get topless and an a topless extra at a pool party . | 0neg |
how can a movie have ozzy osbourne and still suck . i just do not get it . trick or treat manage to do it . this suck and like it . trick or treat be one of those movie i have to warn people about . it be a vomit induce vile atrocity just beg to be view so you can feel that much bad about yourself . trick or treat have no redeeming factor . for a movie about heavy metal and it sure doesn not seem to grasp what heavy metal be or what it represent . this movie manage to make heavy metal look lame and this be in 1986 and probably one of heavy metal strong hour . that be quite a feat and however negative . trick or treat equal so bad you will be angry at yourself for have watch it . that simple equation will hopefully keep you away from this brainless and gutless film . | 0neg |
this movie have a very hard to swallow premise and even by this genre standard . we be ask to accept not only that a record play backwards can bring a dead man back to life and but that the record also contain hidden message aim specifically at one kid and when the singer have no connection to the boy when he be alive and and of course no way of know at whose hand the record would end up . anyway and the film be fun for a while and but eventually the silliness and the pointlessness reign supreme . if they be really try to create a new freddy like horror icon and they be way off represent the villain here have no personality and no motivation and and no variety . ( half ) . | 0neg |
i have to agree with some of the other comment and even go a step far . nothing about this film work and absolutely nothing . delmar our central character make the decision to become a surrogate mother in order to earn enough money to buy a restaurant but along the way fall for a wise ex jailbird . at the same time her friend hortense be try to get her lawyer boyfriend to finally marry her . she also happen to be sleep with marlon who be desperately in love with her . then there delmar brother jethro who get involve with a former coke addict and missy who reveal she be sexually abuse by her adopt father . on the sideline we also have the eccentricmother who have an assortment of equally odd friend and one of whom dy on the couch at the beginning of the film . so far so good but after introduce these character and story line address life and death and grief and love in the first half and the film simply lose direction . if the writer have only select one or two character and allow u to follow their story maybe thing would have be fine but equal screen time be give to all with the result that no one story or character be fully develop . for instance and why do delmar think she will be able to hand over her child in exchange for money and especially when the prospective parent be a creepy bigoted lawyer and his semi alcoholic and depressed wife . why be hortense so desperate to marry a man who be a jerk and clearly doesn not love her . how be it missy manage to kick her coke habit overnight . be jethro regularly draw to woman with overwhelming problem and or be missy the exception . have delmar and jethro mother always be on the eccentric side and or be it a more recent development . why be jethro so keen on cadillacs that he have one in the middle of his living room . why do moses spend year in prison for steal a car and a relatively minor crime . how do delmar manage to end up give birth to moses baby when there be no suggestion that they ever have sex . these question be pose in the screenplay but sadly be never answer . i can only assume they be answer in the original novel and that be why the writer felt the need to include it all in the script . big mistake . lose several subplots especially the hortense and marlon story and which add nothing to the overall film and would have tighten thing considerably and allow more time to develop the delmar and jethro and moses character who be clearly more central to the plot and underlie theme than anyone else . add to that the most pedestrian directing style see outside of the average soap opera and the result be a huge missed opportunity for all and include jorja fox who do her best to rise above the material . i be not surprised that this appear to have be the director last film a this effort show no evidence of a visual style or ability to tell a moving and intelligent story . | 0neg |
i have the opportunity to preview this film a a member of a test audience and and the only thing which keep me in my seat be the chance to fill out the post screening survey . i felt the film big problem be it lack of a main plot . instead and it be compose of ( too ) many sub plot compete for screen time . a a result and there be not a single character who be develop enough for the audience to form any sort of attachment . what the director and producer fail to do be show u why we should care what happen to the character . in fact any one sub plot and the character associate with it could have be remove altogether without serious detriment to the film . ( the time gain would have allow for the much need development of the remain sub plot and character . ) simply put and the hungry bachelor club plate be overcrowd with side dish and appetizer when an entre be desire . | 0neg |
not your typical vamp story and not bram stoker or anne rice here . a truly original vampyre story . these vampyres be genetic mutant who the sunlight do not bother . they be pure evil to . the film be not perfect . many of the actor be clearly amateurs . the two lead who play van helsing and rally the vampyre chick be pretty good though . the film be intensely violent which may disturb some people . also it be load with scientific detail that many will find hard to understand and may get bore with . i be sell on the clever storyline and the couple good performance . no tell how successful this film could be if they have a big budget and it get mass distribution . | 0neg |
an interesting concept vampirism have something to do with a virus . ( but do several time by now ) overall the movie be too long and drag a bit . the editing could have be tight . i be sorry to hear about the problem with the credit . maybe the movie be rush to market . the lighting be too dark in place . but the bad technical problem be the audio . the level be good enough to hear the dialog and but many of the interior have a echo sound to them and which be very distract . either they be not careful in the recording and or the sound mixing could have be well . also too much background noise get through . the should have get someone to do sound effect for the martial art scene . the tinny clank of sword hit together be not the sound of an epic battle . especially in the combat scenes the edit need to be tighter . also the acting be a bit flat . i be sorry and but when i see that the same person writes and star in a movie and in my experience it be a red flag . but it be a good effort so i give it a 4 . | 0neg |
allow me to start this review by say this represent i love vampire movie . they can suck ( har har pun intend ) and and i will still love them because vampire be just cool in movie . van helsing and consider by many to be a steam pile of crap and be enjoyable to me because of the fact that there be vampire . you may ask represent what do that have to do with this movie . the answer be that i intend to inform you of how horrible this movie truly be and that even a sucker ( harharhar ) for vampire movie like me can despise a movie like this so much . the movie star van helsing and a college professor guy who isn not at all convincing . he a terrible actor and like everyone else in this movie and and he write it and to add salt to the wound . i honestly to not mean to offend him and and i be sure everyone have fun make this movie and but watch it be actually painful . i be not sure why i watch the whole thing while perhaps it be a morbid fascination and like watch an impend train crash represent it horrible and but you can not manage to force yourself to look away . it main fault be that it just so ing boring and and it plot be so damn ridiculous and even for a science fiction horror movie . but and i digress . by the way and van helsing have sex with his mom . of course and he doesn not know it her at the time while he just think it one of his student ( which be still illegal and all and but not a disgusting and creepy ) . if i be van helsing and i would at least pull an oedipus myself when i find out i have do something so gross . it would have make for one entertaining thing if he just make some comment on it and but no . the point isn not even bring up at all and by any of the character . it a if the writer do not even think of it . i would have at least have another character laugh at him and say ha ha and you have sex with your mom and which would be mildly humorous ( although blatantly immature ) . i be probably run out of room and so a few more word to dissuade you from ever see this film represent there a vampire ninja fight with an old man . it would be funny and but the filmmaker expect u to take it seriously . it not even worth watch the movie to see how bad it be . stay far and far away from it if you value your time at all . i will say one thing positive about the movie represent the guy who play van helsing be pretty slick with that knife of his . there like and a minute long segment where he swing around his knife and actually do some pretty nifty trick . it would be bore in any other movie and but here and sadly and it be the highlight . | 0neg |
i do not want to go off on a rant here and but . this be the bad film i have ever see . bad than the avenger . incompetent directing and disjoint writing and and awful acting be the only consistent element throughout . shot on very cheap video and it look like a high school project and but without the emotion . the light frequently look like a single sun gun . the sound be slightly good than a single mic on the camera and but everything else about this thing be just awful . the plot head off in strange direction with no foundation or late resolution and the techie element be patently absurd and and the edit look bad than a rough cut . it not even bad enough to be funny . it just bad . btw and the packaging be intentionally misleading . lion gate owes me $ 4 . 00 . | 0neg |
i can not believe that this movie even make it to video and and that video rental store be willing to put it on their shelf . i literary ask for a refund . take away the fact that the movie have no historical truth it and and it be still the bad movie ever find in a video store . it be not even good enough to be call a b rat movie . do not waste your money or your time on this movie . just list to the voice over and the horrible music make me sick . anyone involve with this movie should be pull from the union and give the industry a black mark and but after watch most of this movie i really do not think anyone involve be a union member . | 0neg |
this movie must have be the absolute bad movie i have ever see . my sister and her boyfriend go to rent zodiac ( 2007 ) and get this one by accident . think it be a joke before the actual movie . this be terrible i be wait for it to get scary and it never do . this movie have not actual fact about the real zodiac killer . the filmmaker clearly do not even bother to research anything on the killing . they only like the name . so they decide to write a script about nothing true to it name . i be upset i do not realize it wasn not the movie sooner . i try to like something out of every movie and i do not hate movie . ever . except this one . if you could have give it no star and i definitely would have . negative . | 0neg |
this movie be bad . i do not just mean bad a in while oh the script be bad and or while the acting in that scene be bad . i mean bad a in someone should be hold criminally accountable for foist this unmitigated pile of steam crud onto an unsuspecting public . i would not even dignify it with an explanation of the ( plot . ) if i can refer to it a that . i can think of only one other occasion in some 40 odd year of movie watching that i have find need to vent my spleen on a movie . i mean and after all and no one go out to intentionally make a bad movie and do they . well and yes . apparently they do . and the guilty man be writer or director ulli lommel . but the bad of it be that blockbuster be actually rent this to their customer . be advise . leave this crap where it belong . stick on the shelf and gathering dust . | 0neg |
awful and awful and awful . a condescend remark at the start and a few nasty autopsy photo do not a good movie make . once again i be amaze at the determination and skill that some people have in achieve a movie production and yet they do not have the pride to realise that what they have make be an utter pile of crap . i sit and try to think of a redeeming feature so that i could at least balance my criticism but the only one i could think of be that the opening track by pink be pretty good . i wonder if she have see this . watch this at your peril and the boredom may kill you . | 0neg |
zodiac killer . negative . bad act ever . no really bad act ever . david hess ( last house on the left . no the one from the seventy . rent it it really good ) be the bad of the bunch ( pretty stiff competition but he be amazingly god awful . ) one would be hard press to find a home movie participant with such an awkward camera presence . the film actually screech to a stunning painful halt when he be on the screen . not that the film actually have any redeeming quality for mr. hess to ruin . it be film with a home movie camera and by the look of thing a pretty old one complete with attached boom mike . no post production either . come on there have to be some shovelware a five year old computer could use that could clean up this picture . throw in bizarre stock footage picture of autopsy and aircraft carrier takeoff and this be one visually screw up picture . the autopsy picture be interject the way italian cannibal film interject those god awful real life animal killing . and the navy footage be suppose to be some anti war statement ( cause we know all the bloodthirsty maniac join the navy ) what in the world be lion gate be do release this garbage . it would embarrass troma . the plot be about the zodiac killer ( last see in dirty harry . no the one from the seventy . rent it it really good ) somebody get shoot in the stomach in la and the cop assume the zodiac killer be back . uh huh . what can you expect from a movie that doesn not know that dsm iv be a book not a psychiatric disorder and where the young killer old man relationship resemble that of a congressional page and closet congressman . yeah eighty haircut and production value meet a nambla subplot . sign me up . | 0neg |
well i will start with the good point . the movie be only 86 minute long and and some of it be so bad it be funny . now for the low point . my first warning sign come with an actual warning on the film . when it start the follow warning be display represent the film you be about to see contains graphic and disturbing image . because contrary to popular belief be kill be neither fun and pretty or romantic . i should have save myself the 86 minute and turn it off then . the first word of the film be represent i be at the glue factory . it be some guy talk on his phone and and he be refer to a nursing home a a glue factory . i do not know why . so the basis of the movie be some kid be obsess with the zodiac killer and start imitate him . the budget for this film be at least 50 buck and they must have use the cheap camera they could find . the acting be bad than me read straight from a script . that what be look like they be do . the script be horrible and and the big twist be that this guy who write a biography on the zodiac killer be actually the zodiac killer . of course they try to show this subtly but make it totally obvious within the first 10 minute . without any more painful detail of the plot and here be some horrible highlight of the movie . they try to make the zodiac killer compare himself to an army of one because soldier be really just murderer . then they try to make an attempt at satanic worship by show some guy in black hood in a meeting . the great computer hacker be able to get this kid address when someone give him the kid name and phone number . for some reason he have to hack into the fbi to get someone address . i be not sure why he do not just look it up in the phone book or use whitepages . com . there be also a random allusion to 9/11 for no reason . i also learn that no matter where you get shot and blood will come out of your mouth within second . so if you like really bad acting and sub par script and bad camera work and an obvious plot and you will love zodiac killer . | 0neg |
this be easily the bad movie i have ever see . i be not exaggerate and i tell the guy at blockbuster that they should take it off the shelf . the only thing interest about this movie be the box . on the box it say from the director of the boogeyman so i figure . eh whatever and if this be make recently i be sure the directing at least would not be too bad represent \ and but after i saw the movie and look at what boogeyman they be talk about and it some nonsense from the early 1980 that he make . great way to rope in unsuspecting viewer . anyway and i think that they just like the name zodiac killer and and do not bother to research any of the actual zodiac crime or his mo and or even the year that he be active . all of the crime they talk about have nothing to do with the zodiac and the story about the original zodiac take place several year after the actual zodiac crime do . they also compare the zodiac to vampire of dusseldorf fritz haarman throughout the movie and talk to fritz son quite often . the zodiac and haarman be nothing alike and and it make more sense to compare him to btk who also shoot people and not a man who kill people by chew through their neck . none of the haarman fact be correct either and just a bunch of jumbled nonsense . his son even say don not forget and his name be fritz haarman with 2 t . his actual name just have one . i think that the writer or director simply type in a google search for serial killer and the quick one that come up be the zodiac killer and fritz haarman . ooh those sound like cool name and let make a movie about them without do any outside research . great idea . perhaps my favorite inconsistency in this movie be the way that the expert as well a the young killer describe suffer from dsm iv and get cure of it . i be also diagnose with dsm iv and have since recover and etc . for those of you who do not know and dsm iv be the psychological manual for mental disorder . if anybody suffers from the book itself then they must have some serious problem . haha . anyway and my point be that this go on the bottom of my top 5 bad movie of all time list and and it rare that a movie ever reach that point . but and if you be interested in watch a totally non fact base story about serial killer that happen to be nothing more than boring and full of inexperienced actor and and not completely rational and i would say check out this movie . oh and and i like how the killer tear gas a few of his victim with dry ice . nice touch . | 0neg |
this movie be almost intolerable to sit through . i can get beyond the fact that it look like it be shoot with a home video camera and that this movie be suppose to span over week in time yet the character do not once change outfit and but the acting break the 4th wall to piece for me . i have see well act in a 4th grade play . aside from that the plot be unrealistic . if the man suspect the guy he would have turn him in . i be also heavily disappointed that all the killing be do with a gun what kind of gore be that . that be not a copycat the zodiac do not kill use just a gun the authority would have know it wasn not him . another thing that really bother me be that they call disassociative identity disorder dsm 4 when that be the name of the book use to diagnose people with mental disorder not the name of the disorder . overall i think this movie be not the kind of movie that could be do with a low budget at least not as low a they have or they could have make sure they have well actor or more gore . plenty of people have go the low budget route with out have to use horrible actor look at easy rider that have dennis hopper and jack nicholson and a low budget . | 0neg |
why would anyone want to see this . if this be a film post on youtube by a teenager and i might have applaud the teen in do so much with his mommy video camera . i might have also congratulate his family and friend for do a good job act . sadly and it be make by a very experienced film maker and these be and apparently and professional actor make this a very and very sad film . sad . and very pathetic and actually . a i say and it have a definite make directly to video look about it . it also have narration and act that just scream unprofessionals how could this be . the film be fill with lot of corps and blood . normally this would turn me off completely and a i hate ultra violent film and do not like see all that gore . however and give that none of it be that realistic and it bearable . however and i should warn you that there be a few scene that be still pretty disturb . for example and the scene with the kid throw a radio into a lady tub and watch her naked and frying be pretty bad . there be also scene where you can hear the thought of psycho a they fantasize about kill woman . with a level of misogyny that be pretty awful . the people who write this be pretty sick like kill woman be mean to be for our entertainment . after a bunch of senseless murder and the film go to a dining room table around which be a bunch of goof ball wear black hood without eye hole . they be talk and with pride and about all the murder they have commit and chant . it all very funny and though i be not sure that be the scene purpose . then and the film talk about various sex crime and killing and even vampirism and cannibalism . why and i do not know perhaps because they people make this get off on this sort of crap . and and once again and you see and hear the thought and action of a creepy german look man a he track down people and kill them . by the way and consider the film use what i must assume be professional actor and i wonder why so many people be choose who be clearly german . while they try to act like american and the film be suppose to be in california and the accent be strong . perhaps german audience watch this and marvel at how realistic the acting be and but to any american it obvious these folk ain not their fellow american . consider that there really be a zodiac killer ( who be never capture ) and i do wonder why anyone would want to make a fan film of sort for the sick menace . i mean . be this film mean a a snuff film for pervs . i just can not see anyone else want to see this or enjoy it . in fact and i wonder what would motivate anyone to make such a stupid and offensive film . worthless and deserving to be in imdb bottom 100 list . | 0neg |
if i could give it a zero and i would change my mind and give it a 10 instead . absolutely horrible movie with no movie plot and doesn not make sense of what be happen . just plain boring . please do not waste your money on this one . pleaseee . this movie could have do so well if it truly depict the real zodiac killer story and but nopes and i do not feel anything but disgust while watch it . do yourself a favor and rent some classic movie instead and it good to watch a movie you have already see like 3 4 time than watch this crap . i do not understand why people even bother to make such movie when they know it not go to do well . zodiac killer should be call boriac killer instead . | 0neg |
the film be about a young man and michael and who care for the elderly . one day he decide to kill some of the relative of his client . around the same time he decide to model his kill after the zodiac killer of the 60 . he get in touch with the author of a book about the zodiac killer and they form a friendship . michael have a gun ( aparently the only gun and a it seem to be in the hand of some of the other actor and only not portray a the same gun . ) and he go out a killin . original . this be a great film if you like b movie . i think the idea of the movie be good and but the editing and the act really drown the plot . i think the blood be just too fake and the lighting be horrible in some place and and the dialog be just too standard . the movie be shoot on video and which be okay and but the editing of the film just make for some weird plan 9 scene . not a bad movie for fan of the b movie genre and but if you want something with a bit more polish and move on to something else . | 0neg |
i have be learn about the zodiac for four year now . and i be not say i know much more than anyone else . in fact out of most of the people who know and read and learn about z and i be prolly the one with the least knowledge . but i do know or at least i think i know that most of the stuff in this wouldn not happen . from how he sign his name . to how he kill people . i think that godfather be the bad film ever . the cinematography be that of a five year old . not say that my film be any good but i be not someone who be make movie for the mass population . the act i think for the most part be pretty good really i do . the lead do not talk that much on camera or at all i forget and do not know because i stop watch . his voice over where good . but really spend the four dollar and 70 cent on something else . like a large pizza or something . until i learn how to write a review and psycho phil . | 0neg |
really and really bad . how do a film this bad get make . i keep wait for some redeeming plot point and interesting camera work and or at least some gratuitous nudity but i get nothing . i have just watch cabin fever and i think it be an train wreck ( except for the nudity and pancake ) but it look like genius compare to this dreck . the best script doctor in the world couldn not have save this putrid pile of of stink poo . the only thing go for this film be that it end . i have get a headache just think about this movie and try to write something . ugh . i be glad i only pay $ 5 for it and it will soon end up in a landfill . | 0neg |
if i could give it less that 1 i would . do not bother to rent while if someone give you the dvd burn it . this be horrible movie making . a total waste of even digital film . i have see well on youtube make by 12 year old boy . lommel claim to have write this and if that be the case he be a classic case of someone who be illiterate in two language . the story line be none existent and the dialog be mainly scream and the camera work be some sort of attempted arty flair with nonsensical cutting of totally unrelated jump to either industrial transportation scene or some sort of odd angry young woman rift . i can usually follow a less than obvious plot or see the purpose in a creative film i like david lynch . this one be either so far beyond my limited power of comprehension i miss it or it be totally pointless . i think this be a let see if we can grab a title that will be come out soon and do a weird rift on it and see if we can grab some of the buck con job . i can not see why lionsgate even bother with this . totally worthless and it be so bad i will not rent any other by this same director . | 0neg |
i give this two star for the awesome dv shot clarity and which lend to the cold and dark sterility of it character . that be be generous and i know . this film fail on all account . i can not recommend this and for it be neither poetic and nor blunt . neither dramatic and nor suspenseful . neither controversial and nor ordinary . it be just a wretched piece of trash that no horror or exploit fan can recommend in good faith . do not watch this and whoever you be . . . please and just stay away from this awful product . thank you . | 0neg |
while william shater can always make me smile in anything he appear in and ( and i especially love him a denny crane in boston legal ) and well and this show be all about glitz and dance girl and scream and jump up and down . it have none of the intelligence of millionaire and none of the flair of deal or no deal . this show be all about dance and stupid thing to fill in the time . i watch it of course just to check it out . i do watch it for over 45 minute and then i have to turn it off . the best part of it be william shatner dance on the stage . he be a hoot . unfortunately and this show will not make it . that a give . | 0neg |
the comment by eliz7212 1 hit the proverbial nail on the head for this turkey of a program . but it be a hoot to watch william shatner cavort and dance ( yes and the mark on the word dance be necessary for what bill do ) . this show would be a great skit on snl or mad tv and it do rate a few star for one viewing and or so and to see shatner and who seem to have take camp to new height whether in a role or a himself . but the guy be funny . the girl who be in the cubicle area with the game data scroll and will be pretty much out of luck when this turkey be cancel unless there be a revival of the whiskey a go go genre and with a resurrected demand for shapely young woman to dance in elevated cage once more . i watch the first contestant and who be annoy and and literally dumber than a representpost and yet through sheer luck and walk away with a quarter mil or so . the second contestant and somewhat more intelligent and but who would be lucky to gain $ 1 and 000 on jeopardy . and get zonked by the card which require answer a special question which he do not know and and thereby leave with zilch . this plethora of game show and which dangle and and sometimes award and large sum to everyday individual and be admittedly a cheap effort and overall and to attempt to woo viewer . even if the host be well compensate and and they give away six figure in an average episode and i suppose that the revenue versus cost can be favorable since you do not have a sitcom cast where several star be get six or seven figure and per episode and with some big residual deal as well . but i suspect even the good one will wear thin before long . this one have already pretty much reach this point . i think his offering and especially with james spader and and the others on boston legal should give u a satisfying quantity of bill shatner offering . again and the above rating be simply appropriate to view bill hoot and prance and perhaps one time while that should be sufficient . | 0neg |
i do not see enough tv game show to understand the attraction of show me the money and but i suppose it hold some appeal for undemanding audience . ostensibly a quiz show and it offer contestant huge sum of money for answer a few simple question . however and it quiz element play only a small part in the proceeding and which i find tortuously complicate . for example and before answer a question and a contestant select which question be to be ask by choose from among random a and b and or c choice . do this serve any purpose other than to slow the game down . it would be a lot quicker simply to start with a. contestant can pass on question and but must answer one of the three question in each category . after respond to a question and the contestant be then ask to lock in the answer another delaying tactic . the contestant next task be to name which woman from about a dozen go go dancer in cage be to unveil a card that indicate how much the question be worth . a correct answer add the card dollar figure to the contestant run total while a wrong answer subtract the same sum . this time consume step actually have some entertainment value and a it allow the audience to get a close look at the scantily clad and uniformly gorgeous dancer . meanwhile and the contestant be remind that an unlucky selection of the killer card will end the game instantly . this naturally make the contestant sweat and cause further delay a the nervous contestant contemplate the sudden loss of the hundred of thousand of dollar . my suspicion be that the possibility of sudden disaster be the show chief audience appeal . meanwhile and the whole process be slow down even more by a lot of empty banter between host william shatner and the contestant and along with occasional routine by the caged dancer . all these delay burn up so much time that it might be possible for audience to forget what the original question be by the time the correct answer be reveal . a typical 30 minute episode of jeopardy often get through as many a 60 question . the first 30 minute of smtm that i watch get through only six question ( many of which pertain to other tv show ) . no one in his right mind would watch this show because it fun to play along by answer the question at home . that leave three possible reason to watch the show . a. to see how a contestant respond to be on the verge of win as much a one million dollar and only to lose everything in one stroke . b. to look at gorgeous young woman perform sexually suggestive dance routine . c. to enjoy william shatner scintillate banter . my choice be b and but the woman aren not on camera long enough to justify suffer through an hour of this show . | 0neg |
on the surface and show me the money should have at least finish a full season . you have the always entertaining william shatner a your host and surround by a baker dozen of beautiful leggy model collectively call the million dollar dancer . you have knowledgeable contestant who have interest story to tell of their life and who presumably know a lot of pop culture trivia . and you have big money . so and what go wrong . the format of this game be the failure . a good game show need at least two of three thing represent very simple rule and excite pacing and the ability for the viewer to play along at home . the best and most enduring one have all three . unfortunately and smtm have none . the rule for this game be among the most complex of any prime time game show in history . let me try to explain how the game work and as briefly a possible . a contestant begin with a single word or short phrase follow by the choice letter a and b and c ( subtle plug for the network . ) . each letter be connect to a separate question and all start with that word or phrase . once a contestant choose one of the letter and they could either answer that question or pas and select a second letter . if they pass and they get to view the next question and and have the same option . however and if they pass the second question and they be require to answer the third option . after they answer and before they find out if their answer be correct and they then have to select one of the 13 dancer on stage and each with a different amount of money in a scroll by their side . they reveal their dollar amount ( range from $ 20 and 000 to $ 250 and 000 ) and depend on if the contestant answer right . or answer wrong . that amount would be add to or subtract from their pot . still with me so far . in addition and there be one dancer who hold something know a the killer card . if you select the dancer with the killer card and you have get your question right and you be safe and and the game continue . if and however and you be incorrect and you have one final question to answer . if you get that final question wrong and you be out of the game . if you get it right and then and the game continue . there be no quitting and no walk away with the money earn until you either answer six question correctly or get six question wrong or you be so far in the hole you couldn not earn enough money to get back out . get it . okay . the big problem and a i saw it and be a complete lack of tension and because of the design of the game . a contestant could pass question they know they do not know and and answer many question they do know and make the pressure even less . then and they could still find a low dollar amount and even after knowingly miss a question and which mean there still wasn not any drama . and the fact that they could answer five question wrong and still have a chance to win be a big mistake . and the pacing of the question be deadly slow represent often the question be so obvious and it be ridiculous to try to create tension and a if there be any doubt about some of the most common answer . the pacing and the lack of any real tension at any point during the show and those very complicated rule prevent this program from work and despite shatner terpsichorean talent . | 0neg |
unlike endemol usa two other current game show ( deal or no deal and 1 vs. 100 ) and the pacing in this show be way too slow for what be happen on the screen . dond and 1 vs. 100 can get away with slow pacing because the game can change pace or end at any moment . there be risk involve in every action the player take and the reward be wildly variable and and it be difficult for the player to leave with a significant amount of money . suspense be usually put to good use . show me the money and on the other hand and be just too slow paced . when a question be reveal and it be obvious that the player know the correct answer and you can rest assure that absolutely nothing excite will happen in the next few minute . it would greatly help the pace of this show to reveal the correct answer first and and then have the player select a dancer and instead of shat waste time talk about what will happen if the player get an answer wrong when we all know theyre right . the random dancing be filler that actually feel like filler . too much time be waste while not enough be happen . and the fact that player can not choose to quit the game early guarantee that there will be a lot of time waste . oh and and i have no interest in watch shat shake his groove thang and especially right after i have eat dinner . i be a lifelong game show fan and but even i have a lot of trouble sit through an hour of this . it either need major change or early retirement . | 0neg |
there be such a hype about a game show with bill shatner . and especially right in the wake of deal or no deal and 1 v 100. so and of course everyone have to tune in to see what all the fuss be about on the new game show . what a disappointment . a ben stein so stoically and nasally say and wooww . the only thing likable about this show be the fact that you know it would eventually be over . sit through a full hour of it be like go to the dentist . you find yourself look at the clock in what you think be 10 minute interval and only to find out that only a minute have pass ( but seem like an eternity ) since you last glance at the clock . so and why do not i just switch the channel . well and probably for the same reason most other people do not . out of sheer optimism . i mean and no one really want to think that a show with bill shatner could actually be so bad . personally and from the first 15 minute and i never think this be the kind of vehicle that would showcase the talent of william shatner . my chief complaint be that the set be so dark . watch it leave me feel depress . you keep on want to get ahold of a little excitement and but there be just none to be have . there be not even enough light on the set to get a feel of energy from the audience ( who you couldn not even see ) . dear network represent people do not watch game show to cure their insomnia . they watch game show to be excite and have a good time . please do u all a favor and lose this in the vault . | 0neg |
my wife and i be semi amuse by howie mandel show . i also like shatner even when he at his most pathetic . but this be absolutely the bad show on television . please cancel this show . it suck a. the only positive thing i can say be that the girl be hotter on this show and seem to wear less clothing than deal or no deal . the question be a mixture of way too easy and incredibly obscure . and watch shatner or the contestant say show me the money make me want to vomit . this one will not last . | 0neg |
try to cash in on the success of deal or no deal and 1 versus 100 come this lame excuse for entertainment show me the money and in which 12 sexy wouldancers shimmy out in shiny red hooker attire . a contestant be give the beginning of a phrase and such a which team lose . . . with three choice and a and b and or c and each which complete the phrase . the contestant have three chance to give an answer to one of these 3 choice . the host william shatner and at his obnoxious smarmiest ask the contestant if he want to lock into the answer and when the contestant say yes and he pick a wouldancer and to whom he yell show me the money . she open a scroll that have an amount and and if his answer be right and he add that amount to his winning while if he be wrong and the amount be subtract . ( so theoretically and it be possible for a contestant on this dreary debacle to actually wind up owe shatner money . ) there be also a killer card and if the contestant pick the girl who have that vile scroll and but he have answer properly and nothing happens . if he answer wrong and the game go into sudden death and have to answer another question . if he get that one wrong and he leave with nothing . before go to commercial and shatner yell and let dance and shatner and the contestant and the 12 dancer shake booty . at the end of the show and shatner ask the lady for a last dance and they all shake it some more . i give this show 6 episode at the very most and at which time hopefully this pathetic excuse for a game will be show the door . ( it could have be bad they could have somehow bribed cuba gooding jr to be the host and although i bet he a good dancer than shat and a they call him these day . ) 7/08 represent guess what i be wrong . it last for only 5 episode . there be hope for the world . | 0neg |
a the summary say you just make the most ignorant comment i have ever hear on an rpg . you seriously think they be gay . be you retard . if you go to go save your best friend and someone decide out of the goodness of his heart to help you then you be in a serious debt to that man . lavitz be a good person and each time they help each other it make them closer a friend . they weren not gay lover like your bitch about . and to let you know the game be set in a medieval time period . back then and woman do just prepare meal while the men fight . do you even know your history . do you know how long it take for woman to be accept in the army in present day . this game contain a lot of realism even though your too damn slow obviously to catch it and and you really need to spit out some solid proof instead of ignorant assumption base off your misguided act to interpret the story . | 0neg |
man and this get a lot of good review in the review book . frankly and i find it too slow and unappealing right from the start . i keep wait for it to pick up a little steam but that never happen . this movie be vastly overrate . shakespeare and with the king james english and have never appeal to me and anyway and so it may just be me . there be a fair share of the latter in the first half of the film a they show ronald colman play the role of othello . the good point of the film include thanks to a restore print some decent cinematography and a young and slim and attractive shelly winter . overall and this be simply too boring and too much repetition in some of the scene to watch again . besides and we all know that most actor be nut case and anyway and but kudos to hollywood for demonstrate it here in this story . | 0neg |
ronald colman win a best actor oscar for showy performance a a popular stage thespian who completely lose himself in his role and particularly a shakespeare othello . critically laud george cukor film have a marvelous pedigree and have be write by the estimable team of ruth gordon and garson kanin . unfortunately and the witty banter come off a self conscious here and and the backstage business be overripe . miklós rózsa also win an oscar for his score and and shelley winter have a few fine moment a tough waitress ( when theatrical colman breathlessly address her and she ask him and what be ya . some kind of nut . ) . otherwise and this scenario be awfully obvious and surprisingly draggy and and not very funny . half from . | 0neg |
this seem like two film represent one a dreary and pretentious lengthy saga about an ac tor who be take over by the part he play while the other a brilliant social comment about a middle age divorce who be pick up by a waitress . shelley winter be wonderful a a waitress with another business on the side . she drop heavy hint about the need for connection and her certificate in massage and her desire to get into the modelling game . i love the glimpse of her seedy flat with a kitchenette behind a curtain and and her terrible seducing outfit of navel revealing and puff sleeved crochet top . do actor get oscar for shakespeare . we know they oscars for impersonate disabled people and wear a lot of prosthetics and or pretend to be mad . the shakespearean scene ( which go on and on ) be embarrass and date . and so be the go mad scene where tony look distract while listen to his own voice over . by the way and anthony john be not aristocratic . he make it quite clear in an early scene that he use to be a chorus boy . when he quote his father advice and he slip into a cockney accent . | 0neg |
oh man and this s u c k e d suck . i couldn not even get any camp value out of this . and i sit through the whole thing on showtime . don not bother wait around for the naked scene either . it too late and only plastic jenna jameson be involve . show how much discretionary cash must be lay around hollywood just to get your name on the closing credit . i guess showtime have to throw something in at 1am . next time i think i would even rather be watch espn loop around every 30 minute . | 0neg |
don not get me wrong and this be a terrible and clichéd film and but it be a delight for fan of olivia hussey quite possibly the most intoxicating beauty ever to grace the silver screen . one poster state that she be unpleasant to look at i wonder what his ideal woman look like paris hil slut . blockbuster should really establish a sub genre to this type of film and a the fatal attraction plot have become a genre unto itself . when will blockbuster adopt the adultry section . it will fit in quite nicely between the drama and action section and right . this film revolve around olivia hussey and who spend a night of passion with an unstable yacht owner who may have murder his ex wife and who look remarkably like ms. hussey . this neer do well proceeds to stalk olivia and thus make her life a living hell . i like olivia hussey and but i have no sympathy for character in movie that cheat on their spouse and so i really wasn not root for olivia to make it out o this stinker alive . violence represent $ $ ( there be a smattering of violence in the film . don murray and anthony john denison get involve in a fisticuffs when denison say that he will not stop see olivia and murray wife and because she be just too good in bed . olivia also get to handle a shooter and might get to squeeze off a round i will let you watch ) . nudity represent $ $ ( olivia be the queen of brief nudity and supply a little here . she have a love scene with anthony john denison and also have a shower scene shot at a distance ) . story represent $ ( we have see this plot before a hundred time over and and oftentimes do much well . the true culprit and when try to decipher why this film be a dud and be william riead . the man dialogue be sophomoric and moronic . the man have no story tell ability and fails to build believable human reaction to the plot . these people and of the upper stratum of society and talk like middle school kid with a habit of sleep during english class . i have place riead on the never to be view again list ) . act represent $ $ $ ( the act wasn not phone in a the insider say and but be hinder a great deal by riead juvenile script . olivia hussey resort to call anthony jonh denison weird and crazy to his face when he begin to stalk her . hussey and who be still beautiful and deliver the best performance here but denison be equal to the task of portray a demented and love craze stalker . don murray be basically just there his character not flesh out and and edward asner and a terrific actor when give something with substance and be ill use in this film ) . | 0neg |
the plot be plausible but banal and i. e. and beautiful and neglected wife of wealthy and powerful man have a fling with a psychotic hunk and then try to cover it up a the psycho stalk and blackmail her . but and what develop from there be stupefyingly illogical . despite the resource that be available to the usual couple who have money and influence and our privileged hero and heroine appear to have only one domestic and their attorney and local police ( who say they can do nothing ) at their disposal while they grapple with suspense and terror . they have no private security staff ( only a fancy security system that they mishandle ) and household or grounds staff and chauffeur and etc . not even and apparently and the fund to hire private round the clock nurse to care for the hero when he suffer life threaten injury and leave man and wife alone and vulnerable in their mansion . our heroine be portray a have the brain of a doorknob and our hero and a tycoon and behaves in the most unlikely and irrational manner . the production be an insult to viewer who waste their time with this drivel and a crime for have waste the talent of veteran actor oliva hussey and don murray ( what be they think . ) . and and shame on lifetime tv for insult the intelligence of it audience for this insipid offering . | 0neg |
warn represent may contain spoiler my huge problem with this movie be how totally self center and self consume the adulteress wife be . after have a one night stand with a slimy psycho she be be stalk by him . he call her constantly and threaten her and even send a video of their night together . he be obviously crazy and very dangerous . the problem be she only think he be dangerous to her ( and expose her secret ) . not for one second do she ever have one thought of concern for her husband . do she even for a moment think of him possibly be in danger from this psychotic . as soon a she realize how mental he be she should have warn her husband no matter what the consequence . maybe there wouldn not have be a movie then but there really wasn not one anyway so what the difference . | 0neg |
i really look forward to this program for two reason while i really like jan michael vincent and i be an aviation nut and have a serious love affair with helicopter . i do not like this program because it take fantasy to an unbelievable level . the world speed record for helicopter be set at 249 mph by a westland lynx several year ago . the only chopper that be ever fast be the experimental lockheed ah56a in the 1960 . it hit over 300 and be a compound helicopter and which mean it have a pusher propeller at the end of it fuselage providing thrust . in short and no helicopter can fly much over 275 because of the principle of rotary wing flight . and the bell 222 and the actor that portray airwolf wasn not very fast even by helicopter standard . and it do not stay in production very long . there be a movie that come out during this time period call blue thunder that be much more realistic . | 0neg |
i remember love this show when i be a kid . i think the helicopter be the cool thing i have see . it be ultra high tech for it time . it could repel enemy fire and do all sort of acrobatics in the air and and take down nearly anything in it way . now i go back and watch it today and be surprised how lousy this show really be . the cast member be hardly compelling and there be a lot of cheesy moment and and the fight scene be incredibly fake look . and nearly every end have the same helicopter fight crap with the obvious reuse of grainy low quality stock footage . lot of the footage appear to date from the vietnam war era . airwolf have basically the same theme a knight rider and except the crime fight vehicle of choice be a helicopter instead of a car . after watch a few episode and i find myself utterly bore . i do and however and love the theme music . | 0neg |
this film be roughly what it sound like represent a futuristic version of the cinderella legend but with song and ( fairly tame ) sex scene . the film be not sure what it want to be and pretty much end up a mess . it more expensive look than most of director al adamson film but it not at the same budget level that viewer have come to expect from sci fi film . the actor be pretty bad and unlike most adamson film and there be no former big namer or b actor . some of the music be ok but it easy to see why cinderella 2000 have be forget for so many year . | 0neg |
life in some future fascist or near fascist state which severely restrict personal freedom be a recurrent theme both in modern literature and for film maker . such work post u warning about undesirable trend in our society to watch out for while but to be effective they must also be entertain . unfortunately most of the book be probably more effective in post the warning than in entertain u enough to become really widely read while whilst with the film the problem be usually the other way round . the first such work to become really widely know be probably george orwell 1984 ( first publish in 1948 ) and and this be still readily available both in the form of a book and a a film . watch or read it represent and then and when you be feel a little depressed by man inhumanity to man and reach for cinderella 2000. this be a feather light low budget film comedy base on the same theme which provide effortless but unrewarding view while and a with 1984 the calendar have now pass beyond it erstwhile period . most of the comedy be lay on with a trowel although there be just a few genuinely funny moment . to exercise your mind in the long interval between these you can focus it on the question of whether this film will gain a new extension of life by be release a a dvd or whether it will finally disappear into oblivion a exist tape copy deteriorate past redemption . there be many bad film appear a dvd these day and and frankly i do not care much what happen either way . so far the best of the film of this genre have probably be the handmaiden tale and but i would very happily swap them all for a well make film of jack london tower novel the iron heel . ambitious a this would be and it still seem incredible that no modern film maker have yet dare to attempt it ( imdb only list a b or w silent version make in russia in 1919 ) . | 0neg |
this movie be pure guano . mom always say if you can not say anything nice . but even mom would say i have to do my part to warn others of this movie . i can guarantee this be the film that geoffrey rush wish would just go away . i would hope that greg kinnear fire his agent . from a cannon for give him the script . after this ben stiller be probably pray for someone to pitch there still something about mary . i have always be a fan of wes studi and thank whatever you hold holy that he wear a mask through the film so maybe people would not identify the film with him . it start of promisingly with a stylistic spoof of the cinematography of the batman film and then just lose something . like a coherent plot and half decent effect . the joke be telegraph an hour before the punchline come and and even then they fall flat . if you want to see an effective spoof of the comic book world see chase amy . run . dont walk away from mystery men . | 0neg |
oh and it the movie i think i wait too long to take out the dog . i can not believe i watch the whole thing . i guess i be optimistically anticipate that it be go to get well . horribly disjoint dialog and pathetic acting and and totally improbable event . like toby mom hang herself in the time it take col to walk upstairs and back down in a room with a 24 ceiling and no chair and counter or anything around her motionlessly suspend body that she could have possibly use to climb on to do herself in . the little girl that play the daughter of the last family be the best actor in the whole movie and and the puppy of the first couple be a close second . the basic storyline have potential and with a good script and director could be a seriously creepy flick and but this version sadly be not it . i get more scared when i open my electric bill every month . | 0neg |
this be not an entirely bad movie . the plot ( new house build next door seem to be haunt ) be not bad and the mood be creepy enough and and the acting be okay . the big problem i have be that and be familiar with lara flynn boyle ( from twin peak and other show ) and i couldn not get over how different she look with her apparently new and big lip . i keep star at them . they look so out of place on her face . they make her look completely different ( and not well ) . mark paul gosselaar and the actor who play kim the architect who design and pour his heart and soul into the house and do a fine job . and lara ( a col ) be also quite good ( but those lip . ) a the owner of the house next door . her husband and walker ( colin ferguson ) be appropriately wooden . the various character who live in the house be also fine . i particularly like pie ( charlotte sullivan ) and her husband and buddy ( stephen amell ) and the first people to move into the house . the attempt to involve u in the overall neighborhood vibe fails and unfortunately and a the other neighbor be not particularly likable . for some reason the director be unable to make the haunted house particularly ominous . other movie ( such a amityville horror and the legend of hell house ) manage to achieve that spooky feel and but it just doesn not happen here . the close be when col paint a depiction of the house . another thing that do not work for me be the plot twist that occur with kim and the architect . initially and he appear to be a victim of the house like the others ( it have suck him dry of inspiration ) and but later he seem to have join force with it in evil . overall and not a bad movie for horror fan if you can take your eye off those big lip . | 0neg |
no mention if ann river siddons adapt the material for the house next door from her 1970s novel of the same title and or someone else do it . this lifetime like movie be direct by canadian director jeff woolnough . have read the book a long time ago and we decide to take a chance when the film show on a cable version of what be clearly a movie make for television . you know that when the critical moment precede the commercial and which of course and one can not find in this version we watch . the film star be lara flynn boyle who sport a new look that throw this viewer a curve because of the cosmetic transformation this actress have go through . from the new eyebrow to other part of her body and ms. boyle be hardly recognizable a col kennedy and the character at the center of the mystery . this be not one of the actress well moment in front of the camera . that go for the rest of the mainly canadian actor that deserve well . the film have a feeling of a cross between desperate houswives with the stepford wife and other good know feature and combine with a mild dose of creepiness . the best thing about the movie be the house which serve a the setting . | 0neg |
the cast be ok. the script be awkward at time and and it take a while to figure out what the point of the movie be . i find myself look forward to do the dish . the shehan bit be a cheesy statement on the war . i guess we be suppose to not notice it . we do . it a house and you do nothing more than kill forty five minute . the shower part . huh . what be that about . literally and it be i have a client and ok you can use our shower . yawn . the angle be try way to hard . there be a set of wood and suddenly it go cause you can see right through and then next it be deep and animal be die . in the end this be a horrendous movie of boring proportion . | 0neg |
it would help to know why it take so long for a book a movie ready a the house next door to be adapt for film or television . the book be copyright in 1978. one reason could be problem design the house . the house in this lifetime film be really so ugly that i can not imagine anyone buy it . in fact it so ugly that someone would probably have come and destroy it as soon a it be build . i be not crazy about horror genre book and but this one be hard to put down when i come across it around ten year ago . the main character be not the kind of people to look for anything occult in life and and this be one of the book strength . they be not people who would conclude that the architect be some type of demon . ( or the devil personified ) without witness and analyze the event describe so well in the book . however and it be a downbeat book for the most part and and i do not think that appeal to the people who run lifetime . maybe someone will come up with another version of the book in year to come . a good house . good music . a good screenplay and darker lighting . would certainly help . | 0neg |
not that i be really surprised . movie be never as good a the book that they originate from . i be look forward to see this movie because this be one of my favorite book and even though i know it would probably suck . i be hop to be pleasantly surprise . however and they stray from the book storyline too much and and the movie version do not convey how horrible this house really be . end be different too . lara flynn boyle look terrible due to some really bad cosmetic surgery . the acting be unremarkable at best . perhaps if a theatrical version be make so that they wouldn not have to stay so much in lifetime make for tv movie box and it would be a good flick . if you saw this movie i highly encourage you to track down the book and read it . i doubt you will be disappoint and hope you enjoy it as much a i do every time i read it . | 0neg |
i read the book a long time back and do not specifically remember the plot but do remember that i enjoy it . since i be home sick on the couch it seem like a good idea and hey . it be a lifetime movie . the movie be populate with grade b actor and actress . the female cast be right out of desperate housewife . i have never see the show but there be lot of commercial for the show and i get the gist . be there nothing original anymore . sure and but not on lifetime . the male cast be all fairly effeminate look and act but the girl need to have husband i suppose . in one scene a female be struggle with a male and for her life and and what do she do . kick him in the testicle . what else . woman love that but let me tell you girl something . it not as easy a it always make to look . it wasn not all bad . i do get the chill a time or two so i have to credit someone with that . | 0neg |
for all it visual delight and how much good renaissance would have be in live action . the animation be fantastic in the big picture and yes and but the character be cold and hollow and much like the story and the style of this film . with real actor and perhaps the world of the film would not have felt so lifeless . there be much to admire here and but at the end i find that all i could do be admire . i do not enjoy the movie that much and and it clarify something that i do not see before represent that the visual element can be the define positive aspect of a film and but without a good story and strong character and it can all be for nothing . i will not go so far a to say that this movie come to nothing and but sometimes it come dangerously close . i love dark sci fi thriller . blade runner and dark city be two film i think be wonderful . but blade runner have it tragic villain and dark city have it thought provoke story arc . renaissance have shadow and light and but little else . i wish i could have like this movie more and but the weak story and the empty character stand in the way of that . the renaissance be a historical and artistic burst of color and life . how ironic and then and that one of the most bleak and lifeless movie i have see this year take it title from the renaissance . | 0neg |
a shaky hand hold camera be use and presumably to give the film a documentary look and but the effect be so exaggerated that i start to get motion sickness just from watch it . it look like someone with cerebral palsy be hold the camera ( no offense mean to cp sufferer and but i do not think you would expect to get much work a a cinematographer . ) the camera work be so nauseating and and so distracting and that my wife and i consider it unwatchable and give up on it after 10 minute of torture . i check back a while later ( it be show on tv ) and and it hadn not get any good . i suggest give this one a miss unless you need to get rid of any bad sushi you may have eat . | 0neg |
why be there so many people crowd into an even showing of roberto moreira up against them all ( contra todos ) at the san francisco film festival . it about a hit man and my friend say . well . . . and it brazilian and i add . beautiful multicolored people and tropical weather and lush rhythm and and a hip gangster plot . ample enticement no doubt . somebody forget to tell u one little detail represent this be a very bad movie and really pretty horrible and and as unpleasant to watch a it be poorly make . so how on earth do contra todos get to make the round of berlin and melbourne and london and manila and stockholm and cairo and chicago and numerous small local festival and and now san francisco . apparently and because of the way the promotional process and the film festival circuit work . first of all and it win first prize at the rio film festival where it be call the best brazilian movie of the year . it must have be a bad year while they have have much and much good one . next and snappy synopsis in catalog plus imaginary buzz lead to crowd auditorium and since the movie isn not feature anywhere and so avoids close scrutiny by critic it keep go the round . festival blurb aim at promotion sometimes goose it up a lot . a chicago festival one call contra todos a speedball cocktail shot straight out of brazil and refer to claudia s boyfriend a the stud of the slum like neighborhood . soninha be teodoro nymph like teen age daughter of burgeon sexuality . the movie be shoot with the urgency of a frequently hand hold camera and the director work up a genuine and palpable sense of frustration borne from domestic desperation and decay . the effect be unbearably raw and honest and and the movie hurtle toward a conclusion a dead end a the life on display . not the best writing and but it sure pump up the excitement for a certain kind of potential viewer . contra todos do concern a hit man and two hit men actually and and a wife and daughter and a born again christian girlfriend . it shoot in execrably ugly digital video with no talent behind the camera work mostly in a barren look poor suburb rather than in one of the teem favelas or village like brazilian city slum where such wonderful film a black orpheus and pixote and and city of god be make and and not in rio this time and but são paulo . the hit man with family problem be teodoro ( giulio lopez ) and his partner with a drug problem be waldomiro ( ailtan graça ) . both actor have a little tv experience a do the actress who play teodoro sluttish blonde wife cláudia ( leona cavalli ) and silvia lorenço who play his pouting and ready to revolt daughter soninha . these actor might make it through the back corner of a few telenovelas . who know . in a good direct film they might even be good . aside from them there be some young men who get bump off by teordoro or and when he busy and gang of thug . the principal do not work up much presence and even though the camera magnify their pore . a couple of observer and one at the berlin festival and one at london and do see this movie failing but ala theyre bury in the web hinterlands . henry sheehan note from berlin that the film ( his quote ) be the bad of the video work show . the filmmaker seem to have choose video simply because it be a cheap alternative to film and sheehan write and and hasn not make any creative use of the new medium nor and he add and do anything else creative . sheehan point out the movie first big mistake represent it start off a a domestic drama that suppose to ratchet up when and half an hour into the action and moreira reveals that the father and one of his friend be professional hit men . wait the thirty minute add nothing to the movie while it seem like a perfectly arbitrary decision and be and at the very least and a waste of time . but ratchet up be all moreira ever do and like a little kid who get a tool kit for his birthday and and go around bang everything in sight without rhyme and reason or skill . devastating and but true . write about the 2004 london festival for kamera . com and metin alsanjak try to look at the positive side but nonetheless give away the lack of redeem feature in call the performance easily the film best feature . yes and very easily and give that everything else be so bad . alsanjak admit that this low budget and violent and seedy account of the lawless in sao paulo be devoid of any likable character and and a a result and of hope . too dark and cynical to be a telling account of the human condition and the film be not help by poor subtitling . . alsanjak connect contra todos to dogme and mike leigh do not help matter . apart from that meaningless first half hour in which nothing redeem the boredom of our wait for the first act of violence which and when they come and be just bang everything in sight without rhyme and reason or skill moreira clumsily try to redeem his abrupt finale by add what appear to be outtake right after it and follow by an implausible ironic concluding scene where one of the character get married . no doubt the director want to exhibit the banality of evil of low level hit men in work class neighborhood and but he can not make the character and which he see generically and come alive for u . and the structure of the film show that he also can not edit his material . ( see at the san francisco international film festival on april 28 and 2005 . ) . | 0neg |
i find the pace to be glacial and the original story blow way out of proportion to the content . my wife sleep through most of it and i do not try to wake her because i felt she be not miss anything . when holmes and watson enter the house and then be potentially catch and it be unclear how they could hide all of their entry and burglary tool so quickly . it be also unclear how the door to the study be lock and prevent the servant from get in . the thing that puzzle me be right at the end when there be a glint in the eye of the broken statute . i have no clue what this be suppose to represent . | 0neg |
at the end of this episode holmes asks watson not to record the case for posterity . for a good reason . the super sleuth leave his little grey cell ( sorry agatha ) at home for this tale . there be no deductive reasoning and no acute analysis of sign at crime scene . holmes bumbles along fifty yard behind the plot . the dastardly cam be finally deal to by an old frail in a manner that would have make charles bronson heart swell with pride six bullet in the breadbasket . in an ensue chase a pursuer get hold of one of watson shoe . mercifully the writer do not decide to tack on the story of cinderella to lengthen the film . the murderess and holmes and watson and escape scot free . oh well and it be a bit of a change of pace in late victorian london . a bit of sixgun law represent ) . | 0neg |
my roommate get the no and no and nanette soundtrack a a dub on a tape and she proceed to listen to it non stop . after it finally totally brainwash me into submission and i find the song to be irresistible and especially the famous and i want to be happy and but i can not be happy . but of coarse from the soundtrack i have no idea what the film be about . so the other day i saw a copy of it at the video store and i rent what be suppose to be a long lost version of the film . i be think that it be go to be amazing and because the soundtrack be so cute . unfortunately most of the song that i love be nowhere to be find in the video i saw . now i have never see the 1930 version of the musical but this version be sadly disappointing because there be very little singing and practically no dancing and beside that the sound be really bad through out and you couldn not really understand what people be say a lot of the time . really the only highlight of this film be the outrageous 1940 fashion . nanette wear this crazy hat with two feather that stick out like rabbit ear and kansa kitty have this bizarre feather muff that she keep on her fore arm and then have herself wrap in this net scarf . the one dance sequence be a little weird too with nanette do this weird ballet stuff with pin up girl imagery superimpose on top of her . actually one more bright spot of the film be the artist guillespe who dream of be a fine artist but it currently condemn to draw pin up girl for money . i like how guillespe keep it old school and and disses nanette when his masterpiece and the piece that be to make his career and be sell by nanette for a paltry $ 5250 . doesn not she realize that that piece be his immortality . silly rabbit or girl with your feather rabbit ear on your hat . when will you learn . why doesn not he just pencil in a cigarette before the ad men take the work away . | 0neg |
this version be likely available at your local dollar store on dvd . the print be not great and nor be the sound and but if you have $ 1 . 00 and 90 or so minute to spare and you will get your money worth ( which be not say an awful lot ) . anna neagle be extremely vapid a nanette . whatever her charm may have be back in the day and they be not evident in this film . a great number of fine character actor appear in this film ( helen broderick and zasu pitt and even arden ) and but the material fall remarkably short of their talent . still and it be interest to see how such accomplished performer make the most of the weak writing . the musical number ( there be really only two ) be quite horrible . clearly the studio do not feel compel to cash in on the rich musicality of the original no and no and nanette . for what it worth and the dvd can be have for $ 1 . 00. it worth that much just to say you have see it . | 0neg |
this sad little film bear little similarity to the 1971 broadway revival that be such a nostalgic hit . keep in mind that when burt shevelove direct that revival and he rewrite the book extensively . i have a feeling that this screenwriter work a much of a change from the original 1925 version as well . i play the innocent philanderer jimmy smith on stage in 1974 and and think this $ 1 dvd would bring back memory . not a chance . even the anticipated delight of see topper roland young play amy part be a major disappointment . three song from the play remain and and be do very poorly . even the classic duet and tea for two and be do a a virtual solo . the many familiar face in this 1940 fiasco do not do themselves proud at all and and the star and anna neagle and just embarrasses herself . when i feel gyp by spend a dollar and i know the film must be bad . another commentator mention the doris day version and which be actually call tea for two and be about do the stage play ( the original and of course ) and so those who be seek the true no no nanette might find a more recognizable version there . | 0neg |
well i just pay a dollar for a dvd of this movie and and it wasn not even worth that . it seem to be from a poor print and be in the public domain and i be guess . neagle despite her glory and award and and reputation be a homely british gal who can not sing or dance or act . some of the fine old hollywood character actor on display here must have think they be do a classic . director herbert wilcox ( neagle husband ) always think anna be the most exciting and talented femme on the screen . he be mistake . she be improbably popular in britain before and after wwii . her serious role be even more ludicrous than her musical appearance here . only a couple of the famous song be include and neither one be well present . skip this one and find the one that star doris day . at least you get some real comedy and professional style dancing . | 0neg |
this film and originally release at christmas and 1940 and be long think lose . a very poor copy have resurface and make into a cd and now for sale . don not buy it . the film be unspeakably terrible . the casting be poor and the script be awful and and the directing be dreadful . picture roland young singing and dancing . and that be the highlight . perhaps this movie be lose deliberately . | 0neg |
franco rossi 1985 six hour italian mini series of quo vadis be a very curious beast and create an absolutely convincing ancient roman world shot in matter of fact fashion ( very few long shot and no big cityscape ) and but play the drama down so much in favour of allusion to classical literature and history that the story constantly get lose in the background . the shifting structure ( much of episode one be play out via voice over letter ) and lack of narrative urgency make the full six hour version simultaneously demand and undemanding and and certainly far too often uninvolving and but it have something go for it . the two main strength be the characterisation of petronius ( a thankfully dub frederic forrest and whose own voice would almost certainly flatten his dialogue ) a a man whose spent so long look for an astute angle to survive court life that he become incapable of experience emotion and and klaus maria brandauer unique take on nero a a wannabe actor whose every move and action be calculate on how his audience will receive it . elsewhere and max von sydow briefly appear in a few episode and be reward with the show most impressive and genuinely move scene here he encounter a child a he attempt to leave rome . it the kind of thing the show could do with more of and but it seem all too often to flatten every potentially emotional and inspire or excite moment under it relentlessly low key direction . unfortunately francesco quinn make a staggeringly anonymous hero and blending in with the wall and come over less a a roman officer than that quiet and slightly gormless but inoffensive guy who work in the same office a you who never say much at office party you know and the one who you think be call dave or something like that . the budgetary limitation be very visible once it meet the lion time for the christian and ursus battle with the bull be so determinedly low key that it just pass over you before the show just abruptly lose interest and suddenly end . not a trip i can particularly recommend and i be afraid and but if you do embark on it it one not entirely without it small reward . | 0neg |
don not let the name of this film deceive you and in reality jake speed the character be quite possibly the lazy action hero ever know to film . when jake speed be not save virgin girl from evil madman and which he be often not and he seriously relax . perhaps this add to his charm and but in my opinion an action hero be not suppose to chill out whenever he get the chance . furthermore and unlike other dare hero who usually have an impressive list of talent and this man have none and unless of course you call sleep a talent . anyhow and this movie be basically worthless and the writing be sub par and the action and when there be some and be very lame . ( the machine gun on the jeep weren not bad and but that about it ) so and if youre in the mood to watch a movie that be a cure for insomnia and then this piece be perfect for you it have a hero that not only put himself to sleep and but also his audience . | 0neg |
so what the big fuss out of make an indiana jones wannabe when you have an actor who cast a a fictional dude from adventure storybook who doesn not want to go out on an adventure . whoever write the script for jake speed be probably fired and but for whatever reason possible and this movie greatly lack in excitement . that doesn not mean it have no action and but look on the dark side of the picture . this have get to bare no resemblance to indiana jones or other action adventure thrill contain cliffhanger and narrow escape and and jake speed be promote that way use clever propaganda to make me and several others interested in it . besides and i have never hear of the guy and so who need his attention . | 0neg |
this could be a strong candidate for the bad flick ever . perhaps without the presence of john hurt and it could be tolerate a a kid film . however and the tragedy of this entire endeavor and be that john hurt and one of the screen great actor and diminishes himself in this . i give it two point just because mr. hurt show up . i take away 8 point and because he do not run from it fast enough . as far a the rest of the cast and they be and simply and terrible . janine turner and as pretty a she might be and can not act to save her soul . and the lead actor be and for all intent and purpose and awful . if you can spare yourself this embarrassment and please do so . it so bad and it almost hurt . | 0neg |
i would have like to give this movie a zero but that wasn not an option . this movie suck . the woman can not act . i should have know it be gon na suck when i saw bobby brown . nobody in my house could believe i hadn not change the channel after the first 15 minute . the idea of black female a gunslinger in the western day be ridiculous . it not just a race thing and it also a gender . the combination of the two thing be ridiculous . i be sorry because some of the people in the movie aren not bad actor or actress but the movie itself be awful . it be not credible a a movie . it might be entertain to a certain group of people but i be not in that group . lol . and use a great line from a great and great movie . that all i have to say about that . | 0neg |
alright and i get pass the horrible acting . i get pass the fact that lil kim be blast some cannon and her arm or hand weren not move and i get pass the weave and i get pass the colored contact . this be what kill it for me represent in the scene where the four rose be sit at the table argue . lisa raye and monica calhoun stand up and and and then lil kim get up to break up any hostility by say and whoa and whoa and whoa and hold up . let chill out here for a hot second . i be a fan of the western movie genre and and i never heard anyone talk slang like this in any of clint eastwood movie . if anyone think this movie deserve over a 1 rating and please tell me another movie that bad than gang of rose . i be through . | 0neg |
this be an excellent idea and the scenery be beautiful but that where it end . it seem like a lackluster set it off meet the west . the plot barely make any sense . there be so many character and not enough time to develop their personality . there be too may unnecessary thing go on that do not pertain to the plot nor do it help far the story along . there be also long blank moment where the plot could have be explore but be use for silence or unnecessary conversation . the script should have make more sense as well a the directing . i have a huge question mark on my head watch this movie . but the casting be great in my opinion . if youre only watch for eye candy then this be the movie for you . | 0neg |
must have to agree with the other reviewer . this have get to be the bad movie and let alone western i have ever see . terrible acting and dialogue that be unimaginative and pathetic ( let alone completely inappropriate for supposedly be in the 1800s ) and and oh and do i mention a battery pack prominently display on the back of one of the character . i be wait for the boom mike to fall in the middle of a scene . and the end . the least i can say be that it be consistent with the rest of the movie . completely awful . and yes and it do contain every cliché in the book from the slow walk down the empty dusty road to the laughable let remember when shot when a main character dy . luckily i saw this on free tv . don not waste your time . | 0neg |
the costume and the dialog and historical accuracy be terrible . for instance and stacey dash and the hanging scene . the noose be accurate ( as for a i could tell ) and but that type of noose break the person neck . ms. dash be leave hang at the end of the rope with no ill effect until the rope be shoot . this type of not do not strangle the person and it kill them at the end of the drop . and right before they go in to rob a bank ( in a flashback ) and they pause on the street for a group hug with their bandanna hide their face that would have be obvious to people on the street . the poor editing that be a battery pack under that shirt and it be obvious and the clip of the long ride show them rid along and then reverse the film . i do like the fact that they keep the scene with the horse take a crap it seem symbolic . the entire movie be crap . | 0neg |
an absolute steam pile of cow dung . it mind blow to me that this film be even make . hip hop and old western just do not seem to mix . what target audience be these people thinking of when plan this trainwreck . not only be the concept and plot a joke and but the acting be atrocious and the fact that some decent actor be even in this nightmare of a film make their entire career a laugh stock . the chick from clueless should never be forgive and she be strip of any remain dignity she have . after read the first ten page of dialogue she should have be ask which one of her friend be play this sick joke . after some research and i actually find a list of some other actor who pass on this film represent jada pinkett smith and denzel washington and brandy and monique and kim kardasian and jenna jameson and oprah and and finally marge simpson . simply put and i would rather stare at a blank tv than watch this movie again . | 0neg |
oh and come on people give this film a break . the one thing i like about it be . sorry and still think . oh yeah . when john wayne come and shoot up the the bad guy . oh and sorry and wrong movie and i be think of a good quality film . let me see now and i be still try to defend it . oh yeah and the chick that be from clueless be in it . don not put down stacy dash . i mean and we all make mistake . but boy and stacy and you make a dooooosie . hey and one thing that have never be do in a western and even an all female cast and they actually hang a woman from the gallows . that might be a western first . even though her neck should have be break and she survive the ordeal and still and you have get to give the director some effort for try a western first . also and i have never see a woman lynch from a horse in any western and although that do not happen in this movie and i just think i would give the director another idea for gang of rose # 2 and which should be make right after ed wood bride of the monster # 2. maybe that be what the maker of this film be go for . orginality and especially with an all african woman cast and an oriental cowgirl . heeey and if the maker of gang of rose want to make a sequel to this mess and you could have such slang like and hey and do not you be takin about my homegirl and talk to the hand and baby and talk to the hand . you could also have a surfer dude type deputy marshal that say thing like and that gunfight be totally rad man and totally . you know thing like that . | 0neg |
who . what . where . when . why . the acting be terrible . very robotic and rehearsed . i have see all of the actor in this film in good role . the screenplay be very elementary . by the end of this film and the story line be tie up . and jeane claude lamarre should be tie up and too . so that he never attempt to write or direct another film . | 0neg |
sistas in da hood . look for revenge and bling bling . except da hood be a wild west town in the late 1800s . i do not remember any western like this when i be grow up . what would randolph scott say . if he saw lil kim and he might say and alright . i have to admit that i tune into this just to see her . bare midriff and low cut blouse be not the staple of the usual cowboy flick and but these be the cowgirl and and they be fine . now and do not go look for any major story here and and the usual stuff of ghetto crime drama be here in a different setting . and and when the last time you hear john wayne call someone and dawg . and and i do not remember the earp brother hug and kiss before they march to the ok corral . i watch this on bet and so i miss the action that get it an r rating and but i doubt if i will buy the dvd to see it unless i can be assure it be lil kim in that action . | 0neg |
i should have know when i look at the box in the video store and saw lisa raye to me and she the female ernie hudson a. k. a. le kiss of death for any movie . it almost guarantee the movie will be bad ( e. g. congo ) if hudson be in it ( with the exception of the ghostbusters film and which be intentionally campy and bad ) . despite my instinct and and the fact that i just saw civil brand and yet another cinematic tour de force star lisa raye and i rent it anyway . after all and i ignore my hudson instinct on oz and end up watch a very quality series so i figure i would give this movie a chance . if you be a lover of bad movie and this be a definite must see . this have get to be the most unintentionally funny movie i have see in a loooong time . the plot be fairly straightforward represent racheal ( monica calhoun ) sister be kill by a band of brigand ( lead by bobby brown . ) and and like many an action movie before this and she strap on her gun one last time and vow to avenge her sister death . to do this and she reassemble the titular gang of rose ( supposedly base on a true story of a female gang ) and they go out and exact revenge and and along the way and there some subplot or something or other about some gold that might be bury in the town . one nice thing i will say about this movie be that from what i could tell and the star do their own riding and they look great galloping . the funny ( albiet unintentionally funny ) scene . look for when they introduce stacy dash character or when calhoun character rescind her vow not to strap on her gun ( replete with a clench fisted cry to the heaven ) or lil kim character joke with lisa raye character or stacy dash character be kill or lil kim character convince lisa raye character to rejoin the gang or the asian chick or macy grey character talk bout the debt be pay and etc . with the exception of calhoun racheal and bobby brown leave eye and i can not even remember the name of the other character cuz i be laugh so hard when they be introduce . if the director have go for parody and broad comedy this would have be a great movie . unfortunately and he try to take it seriously seemingly without first take exposition and sound design ( in his defense and hip hop be notoriously difficult to work into a period piece ) and set design and script write nor period historical research ( be it me and or be these the clean people with the white teeth in the old west . ) seriously . usually when i see a movie that not so good and i ask myself could you have do any good . this be the first time in a long time where the answer be an unequivocal yes . | 0neg |
hmm and hip hop music to a period western . modern phrase like cool and too many others to keep track of . the sistahs be in tha house . french manicure nail on hard rid girl . microphone pack clearly visible on lil kim back . i just can not go on with the litany of error make by the director and editor . the act isn not as bad a i have ever see . the woman do well enough with a poor script . it be weird hearing louis mandylor speaking in his native accent . the girl be beautiful . the costume fabulous albeit completely incorrect . i just can not believe they would dumb down what could have be a great story . i would feel offend to believe that this movie be load with such trapping that it would play well in the inner city . | 0neg |
pathetic be the word . bad acting and pathetic script and cheezy dialog and hip hop music and fashion . what the hell be up with that . the directer of this movie act as bad a the movie he make . if someone would have take some time and effort to rework the whole thing and it may of have a chance . bet the studio be still try figure out how they could screw up up so badly . the absolute best thing about this movie be stacey dash . the asian chick wasn not too bad neither . these too gal carry the whole movie . if it weren not for them i would have destroy my copy of this movie . if any of those who have not see this yet and have a notion to and do not waste your time . you will only regret it later . | 0neg |
wait and do not tell me . they throw out the movie and keep the out take . you know and this movie could have be shoot in a back alley in new york . the gangster bangster i guess . gangster rap and designer gangster duster clothes include the kerchief which somehow get move from the neck for protection from the dust storm to the head . i guess it be to protect the head from the heat filter through the k mart hat . budget rent a horsie and it seem and supply the horsies . the one bedroom scene where the girl be talk and the guy be mouth her word . i though it be him talk . you know and watch this movie just confirm that and it isn not about the acting anymore . it about look and it about the money . couldn not have be too much of that where this movie be concern . well and all in all and i think that this movie will go down a the all time bad movie ever make . just one more thing though and where be ice t. do he finally get to go on oprah . | 0neg |
how be it possible that a movie this bad can be make . bad act . bad script . just an embarrassment all around . this be just one bad cliché after another . this movie actually have some big name star in it . unfortunately theyre singer and not actor . this movie make hardly any money for a good reason . the appeal of black cowboy movie just isn not there . it a shame they do not have a good story to tell . this movie actually have some big name star in it . unfortunately theyre singer and not actor . this movie make hardly any money for a good reason . the appeal of black cowboy movie just isn not there . it a shame they do not have a good story to tell . | 0neg |
to be completely honest and i haven not see that many western film but i have see enough to know what a good one be . this by far the bad western on the planet today . first off there black people in the wild west . come on . who ever think that this could be a cool off the wall movie that everyone would love be slightly and no no and completely retarded . secondly in that day and age woman especially black woman be not prone to be carry and or use gun . thirdly whats with the asian chick speak perfect english . if the setting be western and asia isn not where your go . finally and the evil gay chick be too much the movie be just crap from the beginning . now do not get me wrong i be not racist or white either so do not get tick after read this but this movie and this movie be the bad presentation of black people i have ever see . | 0neg |
some people have make a point of diss this movie because they question the plausibility of black people in the old west and asian people in the old west or woman with gun in the old west period . get a grip and read a book . there be quite a few asian ( chinese ) and there be quite a few black ( freedman ) and everybody outside of the gentile class have ready access to gun while it be the second amendment you know . and as far a the use of modern language go and none of those western people have wax nostalgic about actually use language that be consistent with the era depict . american have different accent and use different inflection and speak at a very different pace and use plenty of word and phrase that would be unrecognizable today . don not blame historical inaccuracy for the fact that you just do not dig it . be honest . maybe youre just uncomfortable with what youre see . | 0neg |
mario van peebles pop up for less than a five second cameo . glenn plummer show up a little long but it a lady show all the way . stacey dash and lisa raye have be in good project . bobby brown leer and mug through his little time on screen . this be how it be pitch . five tough woman shootin and lovin in the wild wild west . four black and one asian . oh and lil kim be a tough talk heartbreaker and marie matiko can bring in the pacific rim market . we can shoot it for less than 15 million . straight to video and we will double but more likely triple our dollar . greenlight that puppy . you get it bos . | 0neg |
this really doesn not do the blue justice . it start out badly with image from the voyager probe and blind willie mctell ( or be it blind lemon jefferson . someone blind anyway ) apparently narrate from out space ( . ) and tell u the life story of various blue musician . corny a it be and this might be the visually most interesting part of this documentary . afterwards the only thing to see be actor incompetently mouth the classic tune and film in fake 20 black and white intercut with the like of beck and shemekia copeland rap the same song afterwards . this be a good device to show u why the old blue great be really so great and but it doesn not make for compel view . there be hardly anything in here that could justify make it a film and not a radio play . nobody should be force to see these badly do reenactment . it a shame for wenders and scorsese and especially for the blue . avoid at all cost . | 0neg |
this film be deeply disappointing . not only that wenders only display a very limited musical spectrum of blue and it be his subjective and personal interest in part of the music he bring on film that make watching and listen absolutely bore . the only highlight of the movie be the interview of a swedish couple who be befriend with j. b. lenoir and show their private video footage as well a tell story . wenders introduction of the filmic topic start off quite interestingly allude to world culture ( or actually and american culture ) traveling in space and but his limited look on the theme as well a the neither funny nor utterly fascinating reproduction of story from the 30 render this movie a a mere sleeping aid . yawn . i have expect more of him . | 0neg |
watch this film for the action be rather a waste of time and because the figurehead on the ship act good than the human . it a mercy that anthony quinn couldn not persuade anyone else to let him direct any other film after this turkey . but it be fill with amusement value and since yul brynner have hair and lorne greene display an unconvincing french accent and and the rest of the big name strut about in comic book fashion . | 0neg |
just saw this film and i must say that although there be show in the begin some effort to produce a decent film and this be absolutely horrible but not in the sense that be intend i be sure . it be like a child be direct this insult to intelligence with the belief that all would be viewer be moron or extremely hard up for entertainment or both . thank god for fast forward . i can not imagine the type of viewer the producer have in mind when make this film . i mean and you have actor try to be serious and albeit barely and and a script that cry for a total rewrite and . i just can not say anymore . if harlequin romance decide to do horror film and this would be a good effort . if you find this movie to be entertain and then i strongly suggest that you seek out some guidance a to the purpose of movie . there be much good fare out there . join a club and read review and but above all and avoid crap like this . | 0neg |
the tooth fairy be set in a small town somewhere in northern california where peter campbell ( lochlyn munro ) have bring a farming property which he be renovate and plan to turn into a holiday inn and he be join by his girlfriend darcy wagner ( chandra west ) and her young 12 year old daughter pamela ( nicole munoz ) who arrive to help for the weekend . while explore the property pamela meet another young girl name emma ( jianna ballard ) who warn her that evil lurks within her new home and she tell a tale of an evil old witch know a the tooth fairy who take baby teeth from child and then kill them . pamela be worry and become even more so when she fall off her bike and her last baby tooth fall out and it not long before the evil ghost of the tooth fairy have her eye on pamela tooth and just for kick she also decide to kill anyone she come across . direct by chuck bowman i think the tooth fairy be just another poor straight to video low budget horror film that fail to distinguish itself from the countless other which litter video shop shelf and fill late night obscure cable tv schedule and basically it not very good . the script by producer stephen j. cannell and corey strode and cookie rae brown be a complete snooze fest for the first 40 odd minute and nothing of any great interest happen during this period at all and be basically dull exposition a if this stuff be go to surprise anyone . it introduce the character and set the tooth fairy legend up and that it . the second half of the film improve slightly but even then it hardly spectacular stuff and there be a few decent set piece gore scene but apart from that it all very predictable and forgettable stuff . the character aren not great and most of them be there purely to be kill off and the story have inconsistency like the story of the tooth fairy herself and it say she kill child after they give her their baby teeth so why do she go on an indiscriminate kill spree that have nothing to do with teeth . what happen to her after the prologue set during 1949. why have she come back a a ghost . despite be a ghost of some sort she seem very human have to open door herself and use weapon to kill people and there be no attempt to make any use of the supernatural element except the ghostly child who be play for maximum sentiment . director bowman do ok and it reasonably well make and there be a couple of half decent scene but nothing to get that excited about . there nothing i would describe a scary or atmospheric in here and do not take any notice of the comparison between this and darkness fall ( 2003 ) a besides the teeth thing theyre quite different . the gore be ok and someone be shove into a wood chipping machine and there a decapitation and someone have their penis chop off and the best scene when someone be nail to a door and then have their stomach hack open with an axe and their gut slide out . with a supposed budget of about $ 1 and 500 and 000 the tooth fairy be generally well make but there nothing special on show here . the act isn not anything great but it not too bad and unusually i do not find the child actor that annoy so that something i suppose . the tooth fairy be the usual just below average low budget modern straight to video horror fare that seem everywhere these day and if you can find a cheap copy then it might pass 90 odd minute if your not too demand otherwise it pretty poor and forgettable stuff . | 0neg |
