feast of all saint . where . when . be the feast of all saint storyline and theme edit out . what a waste of a wonderful title . there be never anything in the story that have the remote connection to the feast of all saint . nor be there anything in the story about all soul day which the term be reference . why bother to use this title if you never intend to include any kind of storyline or theme about all souls day or the feast of all saint . embarrassly bad script and amateur write how do they attract such great talent to this clunker . the writing be so amateur character that have know each other all their life go into big long speech about their life history for the sake of the audience . not at all the way people talk to each other . what be the director thinking . the directing be equally bad . the forced and overly deliberate style feel amateurish . in one scene and a character be yell take your hand off of me and no one be touch him . the most badly direct scene however and be the incredibly over the top battle scene at the beginning of the film . excessive gore in a very fake and silly battle scenethere be so many dead people in the most fake battle scene . it look like a saturday night live skit . you can see extras wait for their cue to walk across camera . everyone play their death scene like 4th grade boy exaggerate every little gasp and twitch . the blood on battle victim be so excessive and carelessly apply it look like someone use a ketchup dispenser and just squirt straight line of red on the costume . this whole battle scene come off a the spoof of a really cheesy war movie . you almost expect someone like will ferrell and mike myers to ride up on a horse and deliver the punchline . who in real life would ever behave this way . the most ridiculous bit of writing and directing and casting be actually the focus of the scene represent a little girl be stand under the dead body of her hang father who be terribly mutilate and and literally drip blood form his gap wound . even a totally idiot would know he be dead . yet she be very monotonously repeat over and over daddy and daddy . while look at someone off screen . she deliver it with about a much believability and passion a you could expect from an non actor kid that have be repeat the line for the camera all day . even if the poor kid have any acting skill and the scene be completely unbelievable . the little girl wouldn not even be in the middle of the battlefield after hour of carnage surround by hundred of dead body and while she calmly stand there . natural instinct would have the kid screaming and terrified and run away from the bloody carnage . be we suppose to be horrify or laugh . one particularly goofy detail and that give the scene an snl satire tone and be the father hanging and with a huge hook through his mouth and cheek . he look like a fish on a hook . the unintentionally funny detail and make the whole scene come across a fake and silly . in fantasy la la land and mother and daughter be the same age . another funny detail and be that you see a central character the little girl mother at the end of the scene and in the next scene and that occur 20 plus year later and she look exactly the same . she be still young and beautiful and and now the same age a her daughter . i almost turn the movie off right there because the direction and write be obviously awful but i try to stick it out because i want to see the louisiana setting and i like all the actor . i do not know what these fine actor be think when they accept these role . who be the targeted audience . the excessive amount of blood and badly act violence in the opening scene be weirdly out of place with the soap opera storytelling tone that follow . it be also a strange way to start a movie that and for the rest of the time and seem target to romance novel reading female . weird inconsistency in tone . | 0neg |
the story and the show be good and but it be really depressing and i hate depress movie . richard be great . he really put on a top notch performance and and the girl who play his sister be really awesome and gorgeous . seriously and i think she be carmen electra until i saw the imdb profile . i can not say anything bad about peter galleghar . he one of my favorite actor . i love anne rice . i be currently read the vampire chronicle and but i be glad i saw the movie before read the book . this be a little tooreal for me . i prefer lestat and louis witty little tiff to the struggle of slave . eartha kitt be so creepy and after her character do what she do the movie be ruin for me while i could barely stand to watch the rest of the show . ( sorry for the ambiguity and but i do not want to give anything away ) sorry and but it just not my type of show . | 0neg |
there so little here of the fantastic anne rice book that what be here make no sense . some of the character intense and surprising character do not make it to the screen at all and and those who do be water down to the point that there no reason for their existence . where the relationship between christophe and marcel . where the continue affair between marcel and juliet . why do dolly rise appear at all and since her story never explain . where the rape and redemption of marie and whose great attribute ( and downfall ) be that she can pass for white and her marriage to richard . why do the film end with marcel beating at the hand of his father . we learn nothing of aglae beyond that she a bitch who hat her husband while why no backstory explain this hatred . a for the performance and there not a one that good than mediocre and though that likely due to the lousy script . best of the lot be that of the actor play richard but richard not on screen enough to salvage the film . worst be jasmine guy a dolly rise and though again and it come down to the actress have nothing to do with what little she give to work with . all in all and this be just terrible . i think it would be impossible for any anne rice book turn film to be bad than exit to eden and but feast of all saint make that mess look like a critical hit . how be it that rice be such a slut she will allow her best work to become such junk on the screen . | 0neg |
a slick romanticizing of the sexual exploitation of neworleans black woman by white men of power and privilege . ooh . do that whet your appetite . well and then and belly up to a vhs or dvd and gorge on this gratuitous troll through a seamy segment of history . for good measure and it adapt from the book by celebrated hack anne rice . the directing be a cloy and melodramatic a the cheesy dialog . most of acting be amateurish . the production sole worthwhile note be that it employ practically a dozen black actor and all of whom have scarcely be in employ in today market ( jasmine guy and ben vereen and pam grier and eartha kitt ) and include some face that have barely be see at all ( bianca lawson and rachel cuttrell ) . it also be and despite itself and a sterling showcase for nicole lyn . the pompous and ponderous james earl jones be on hand as well . so and be the late ossie davis and a minimal talent who owe his success to have be affiliate with the legendary negro ensemble company . this film should be rat t for tripe . | 0neg |
college student and who be clear out a condemned dormitory and be stalk by an elusive killer . the dorm that drip blood ( aka prank ) be a bit of a mixed bag for slasher fan . the movie production value be pretty low and the story for the most part be pretty routine and there even a creepy bum hang around for a red herring . in fact much of the story build up be pretty forgettable and save for one or two brutal murder . but the movie be really make good by it surprisingly intense climax ( in an atmospheric setting ) and one fairly bold and unconventional conclusion . the cast be lackluster for the most part . stephen sachs be the best of the lot a he do a pretty nice turn in character . also look for a young daphne zuniga a an ill fat student . over all this be a pretty standard b slasher effort and but the finale be well worth savoring and for this viewer save the movie from be a complete ho hum . out of . | 0neg |
daphne zuniga be the only light that shin in this sleepy slasher and and the light fade quickly . if not her and than what other reason to watch this . five college kid be sign up to prepare an old dorm for it due date of demolition . problem be automatically occur when a weird homeless man be solicit and and the group be short a few people . then and a killer be on the loose . i honestly want to say i be go to enjoy this one . it have a fair set up and or maybe that be just daphne zuniga in it . the film be too slow and and almost as silent a a library . most of the acting be below average and and the point of view moment be so old news . acclaim composer christopher young of such film a hellraiser and entrapment score this and in a repetitive cue line that be good make for a tv movie . still and it seem high than the movie deserve . so and other than young and zuniga and this one scrap the bottom of the barrel . | 0neg |
over christmas break and a group of college friend stay behind to help prepare the dorm to be tear down and replace by apartment building . to make the work a bit more difficult and a murderous and chuck wear psycho be wander the hall of the dorm and prey on the group in various violent way . register a one of the 74 video nasties list by the u. k. in the 1980s and the dorm that drip blood have a good reputation build up for it prior to first viewing . the term video nasty strike into mind some image of some great explicit gore and violence and sex and etc . represent all the thing a horror fan dream of . so and after hear all of that info and i settle into prank ( alt . title ) expect a sleazy slasher experience . . . and that what it try to be and but fail pretty much completely . visually and the film not great . the cinematography and gore ( except for a couple scene ) and and overall direction all fail . it simply not enjoyable to watch . the unoriginal script be lack and often throw in random thing without any real reason ( like the opening kill ) . there be some cool death scene and include a pretty nice face melt ( which can be see on the poster ) and but that about it for the positive . the acting be pretty bad and the story seem unimportant and the killer isn not cool or scary and and it suffer the one major error that any slasher flick should always avoid represent it a bit boring . overall and for a film do by a few ucla film student for $ 90 and 000 ( which would be over double that today ) and the dorm that drip blood isn not a total mess . it have a couple good thing and and be fairly watchable . . . but and a a slasher flick look to be on the level of film like the house on sorority row and piece . . . it just can not compare . don not expect much and and you may at least be entertain . i hate to say it and but this be one of the few film i have see that would actually be good with a remake . . . and yet and they go after great work like black christmas . oh well . . . obligatory horror element represent subgenre represent slasher violence or gore represent there be some brutally cool kill and and the gore be okay for the most part . . . but nothing special . also and they off screen some of the best murder . sex or nudity represent there a little unappealing ( to me ) nudity and but not very much . cool killer ( s ) represent nah . the end monologue ( s ) of the killer make him or her pretty uncool . scare or suspense represent a jump scare or two and but nothing too effective . mystery represent i suppose and yeah and but i simply do not care enough and and it as obvious a the nose on the killer face . final verdict represent 3 . 75/10 . bah . humbug . ap3 . | 0neg |
i be not look for quality while i be just try to get through the 74 famous video nasties that be ban in britain . this one be initially ban and re release in 2001 with a whole 10 second cut . some college kid spend their christmas vacation prepare a dorm for renovation . there be some creepy character lurk about along with the four kid . which of them be the slasher . the actual killing be not very gory and so this video nastie be not really nasty . there be the requisite flashing of the booby and but it have nothing to do with the college kid . i have a suspect very quickly and i turn out to be right . maybe i have see too many of these . the end twist be clever while i have to give the writer credit for that bit of originality . | 0neg |
probably one of the most boriest slasher movie ever and badly act and badly write . the plot five student stay behind during the holiday close down a dorm and but somebody have design on them and start kill them off one by one and the main suspect be the creepy groundskeeper john hemmitt play by woody roll and or could it be one of the five character . act not that bad not that great either apart from daphne zungia who die way too quickly and should have be the main heroine and and the rest well quite dull although laura lapinski the main heroine sometimes have her charm and you do feel sorry for her in the end . the kill can not really see why they ban this and the kill look fake mostly and one guy have his hand slice in half in the beginning which look really fake and but the others be quite nasty like one girl get her head run over by a car and one girl get boil alive and another get burn alive . overall not really a great slasher could have be a lot well . | 0neg |
an uninteresting addition to the stalk n slash cycle which dominate the horror genre in the 1980 . this be film a prank but release a the dorm that drip blood which be an obvious steal from the 1970 horror anthology the house that drip blood . daphne zuniga be the only recognisable face in the cast and this be her first horror movie ( she have also appear in the initiation and the fly ii ) . | 0neg |
the two thing be be good about this film be it two unknown celebrity . first and daphne zuniga and in her first appearance in a film and young and supple and with look that still encompass her body today and steal the very beginning and which be all she be in and and that be that . she be obviously just start out because her act improved with her next project . second and the score by then know composer christopher ( chris ) young be what keep this stinker from get a one star . yeah and i know one star more be not much and but in this movie case and it be a lot . the rest be just stupid senseless horror of a couple a college student who try to clean out a dorm that be due for be tear down and get offed one by one by an unsuspecting killer and blah and blah and blah . we all know where this be go . watch the first eighteen minute with daphne zuniga and then turn it off . | 0neg |
eh and not a particular good slasher flick . so so acting and effect and decent yet familiar and uninventive soundtrack . there be three death in close succession near the beginning of the movie that make for a fairly good scene in which it would seem anything go . apart from that and there a lot of character wander around and not realize what go on and or chase after red herring while more killing of time and than of people . there be other death and and the killer be an equal opportunity murderer and not partial to any one implement . the killer also like to set other people up to kill innocent people a well . the identity isn not reveal towards the end and and motive be pretty thin and and we really do not care . supposedly the movie take place around christmas and but this isn not a major factor . one scene get light by christmas light and that about it . the movie be rather dark with a muddy picture most of the time and at least on the videotape i watch . some of the dialog get a little lose in some of the opening scene . the end should have be strong than it be . we think we realize what happen and although there a chance something else do . | 0neg |
i hear so much about this movie how it be a great slasher and one of those early 80 movie that die hard fan of most slasher movie just have to see . well and i rent it and i have to say that although it keep my attention as far a the suspense go for most slasher film such a april fool day and friday 13th and prom night and this film could have be right up there with the above mention only it lack true enthusiasm and potential from the character as well a the on go story . character that i find be unfortunate to be in this movie be the weirdo guy with the frizzy hair that keep creep around the dorm and of course lead up to his true climatic role during the end with he face the killer . another would be the dirty scruffy look guy with the jean jacket and he could have play more role in this movie that might have make the movie more interesting and instead and the movie play this guy a just another loser out there make unknown call while he sleep with his girlfriend and then drop his part and cut him off until the end which be a waste and i be disappoint in his part in the end . as far a the true identity of the killer go and when the identity be release a to who he be and i just laugh and but it be all to obvious and he really make a true jerk out of himself as well a an annoy character after his true intention be reveal . this movie should be one to at least watch once for all slasher fan but do not spend your hard earn money on it in some rare hard to find collector inventory . | 0neg |
it the early 80 . there a group of suspiciously old look teen . and there a maniac stalk around . yes and this be slasherville . this movie be call prank . why be it call prank . i haven not the faint idea . unless your idea of a great prank be to repeatedly hit someone dinner with a baseball bat on balance and not a great prank while in fact quite a rubbish prank if truth be tell . but there you go . the film itself concern a group of teenager who be task with clean out a decommissioned dormitory . they become aware that a psychopath be on the loose . to combat this development and they split up and wander about in the dark . it end in tear for most of them . prank be a badly make slasher movie . the dvd release i view be the vipco one . it appear to be cut of a fair bit of violence . this make the dvd even more pointless because and let face it and a slasher movie shorn of violence be a waste of time . for slasher film and video nasty completists only . | 0neg |
( ( nb represent spoiler warn and such a it be . ) ) first off and this be a teen slasher flick the spam in a cabin genre and a joe bob briggs piquantly put it . if youre look for roshambo and this isn not it and wasn not go to be it . i be desperately unimpressed by stab at it cinematography and directing or act performance . secondly and this wasn not zuniga first horror flick and it be her first screen appearance period and cinema and tv and whatever . for what it be worth while neither be daphne zuniga susan sarandon or katherine hepburn . thirdly and you have to give even a lame slasher flick prop . sure and it follow the deeply insult formulaic message of it genre represent any young woman have or show interest in sex be beef on the hoof and and the harvest time be now . except this one give the chop to the sweet and virginal protagonist a well . now there be a mediocre teen death film that have the courage of it conviction . interest that this be say ingenue only film role . another one hit wonder and except that term give the lass too much credit . ( then again and this film probably have one of the high percentage of one movie actor in history . of the nineteen credited actor and a whopping thirteen never appear in any other film . three appear in one other movie by the same producer . only one other besides zuniga have as many a six screen credit . what be this and the have be and never be mutual aid society . ) grant and i saw this a long time ago on late night cable when i be bore and never anticipate be that bore in my life again and but i see no reason to hunt down everyone involve and toss them in the incinerator with joanne . negative . | 0neg |
one of a multitude of slasher that appear in the early eighty and prank be notable only for an early performance by daphne zuniga ( the sure thing and the fly 2 ) while her character die fairly early on and and the rest of the film be totally forgettable . during their christmas break and a group of student volunteer to clear a condemned college building of it furniture . a crazy killer and however and throw a spanner in the work by methodically bump off the youngster one by one in a variety of gruesome way . exploit every stalk n slash cliché in the book and director jeffrey obrow deliver a tedious and unexciting horror that have me pray for the character to be kill and so that i could get on with watch something more worthwhile . the majority of the death ( which and let face it and be why we generally watch this kind of film ) be brief and not that gory while the only truly grisly imagery come right at the end when the body of the victim be discover by the remain survivor ( there be one notably bloody dismember corpsethe film could have do with more ) . at the last minute and the film save itself from the disgrace of receive the low possible score from me by have a nice unexpectedly downbeat end and but this really be one for slasher completists only . | 0neg |
this one probably do not fit in the bottom of the barrel of mediocre slasher movie but it surely a damn bad movie . the holiday premise make it kind of interest but after the first scenes the movie demonstrate it poor production value and stupid plot . i mean and the sub genre be at the moment all about an unseen maniac slash teen for no apparent reason but this one take it too far . there be absolutely no coherence in the event or nothing else to add . the clichès be more than boring and the gore be minimal and and so do the mystery . this be a fairly mediocre slasher entry that shouldn not be hype even if it have a video nastie label . i be truly disappointed by this overrated piece of trash . | 0neg |
if you have ever see an eighty slasher and there isn not much reason to see this one . originality often isn not one of slasher cinema strongpoints and and it something that this film be seriously lack in . there really isn not much that can say about prank and so i will make this quick . the film be one of the 74 film include on the dpp video nasty list and and that be my only reason for see it . the plot follow a bunch of kid that stay behind in a dorm at christmas time . a theyre in a slasher and someone decides to start pick them off and this lead to one of the dull mystery ever see in a slasher movie . the fact that this movie be on the video nasty list be bizarre because and despite a few gory scene and this film be hardly go to corrupt or deprave anyone and and gory slasher than this ( friday the 13th and for example ) do not end up ban . but then again and there ban film that be much less gory than this one ( the witch who come from the sea and for example ) . anyway and the conclusion of the movie be the best thing about it and a although the audience really couldn not care less who the assailant be by this point while it be rather well do . on the whole and this be a dreary and dismal slasher that even slasher fan will do well to miss . | 0neg |
what the . be this . this must and without a doubt and be the big waste of film and setting and camera ever . i know you can not set your expectation for an 80 slasher high and but this be too stupid to be true . i baught this film for 0 . 89 $ and i still feel the urge to go claim my money back . can you imagine who hard it stink . who be the violent killer in this film and what be his motivation . well actually and you couldn not possible care less . and why should you . the maker of this piece of garbage sure do not care . they do not try to create a tiny bit of tension . the director ( stephen carpenter i guess it much easy to find money with a name like that ) also make the kindred ( 1986 ) wich be rather enjoyable and recently he do soul survivor . complete crap as well and but at least that one have eliza dushku . this junk have the debut of daphne zuniga . ( who . ) yeah that right and the melrose place chick . her very memorable character die about 15 min . after the opening credit . she the second person to die . the first victim die directly in the first minute and but nobody seem to mention or miss him afterwards so who care . the rest of the actor . they do not deserve the term actor actually and be completely uninteresting . youre hop they die a quick and painful death . and not only their charactersmy humble opinion equal 0 or 10 . | 0neg |
i have always like fred macmurray and andalthough her career be tragically cut shorti think carole lombard be fun to watch . pair these two major and attractive star together and add top support player like jean dixon and anthony quinn and dorothy lamour and charles butterworth and give them a romantic script and team them with noted director mitchell leisen and you get a mediocre movie experience . skid johnson ( fred ) and maggie ( carole ) meet cute during her visit to the panama canal and and spend the next few week fall in love . skid a great trumpeter and so he embark on a musical career and which be predictably meteoric in both it rise and fall . during his climb to musical stardom and he neglect maggie and who later inspire him to start over after he hit rock bottom . ah and yes it the true hollywood happy end and which come none too soon . star and a director of this caliber should guarantee success and but this movie be so predictable and slow pace that it difficult to watch at time . the early scene set in panama be so draggy that they seem to go on forever and and later an alcoholic skid just wanders endlessly in new york . fred and carole try their best and but the tired script and s l o w direction just do not give them a chance . even the final scene and in which maggie encourage skid to rise from the ash of alcohol and disappointment and just doesn not ring true . this movie should be see once to watch some early performance from star macmurray and lombard . however and i guarantee that watch it will seem to take about 48 hour . | 0neg |
i be a big fan of fred macmurray and carole lombard . and and in addition to them and charles butterworth ( a very enjoyable support actor ) be in this film and . so why do not i particularly enjoy it . well and despite a good cast and this be one of the poor write and most clichéd a picture i have ever see . give the talent and money spend to make this film and it be shock how slip shoe the writing be . i know the film would be tedious when time after time early in the film i find myself predict exactly what would happen next and i be always right . and this isn not because i be some sort of movie savant and but be because almost no imagination or effort go into it . in fact and it seem almost a if the film be just a long string of clichés all strung together . also and i find it a bit irritate that fred mistreated carole so bad throughout the film and yet and true to convention and she come run to him in the end . uggh . there be more suspense in a lassie film ( will he bring people to rescue timmy or will the rope he be dangle from break . ) . despite the very and very tired and clichéd script and there be a few positive about the film . it be pretty cool see fred look like a broken lush at the end of the film it be pretty believable and he look like he hadn not eat and shave or sleep in day . also and charles butterworth prattle do provide a few mildly humorous moment . but all this just wasn not enough to make this film look any different than a b movie . it a shame and . it could have be so much good . | 0neg |
in what would be his first screenplay and base on his own short story turn about and william faulkner delivers a bizarre story of loyalty and sacrifice and and really strange relationship . the story originally be about only the tone and young and and cooper character and but mgm need to put joan crawford in another picture to fulfill her contract and and faulkner oblige by create a female role . crawford insist that her line be write in the same clipped style a her co star young and tone and lead to much unintentional hilarity a these three communicate in a telegraph like shorthand that sound like a monty python sketch ( wuthering height perform in semaphore ) . seriously and the almost entirely pronoun less sentence make ernest hemingway read like henry james . the film also reflect some familiar faulkner theme and with an almost unnaturally close relationship between brother and sister ( a may be find in his sanctuary and and elsewhere ) . when young proposes to crawford and in tone presence and in lieu of an engagement ring all three exchange their childhood engrave ring with one another . the closeness of tone and young be also noticeable and especially a they go off to their thelma and louise fate . frankly and it creepy . not a creepy to this new yorker and however and a the recur theme of the massive cockroach and wellington and which crawford cheerfully catch ( and which be show gambol over her hand i have to turn away . ) and young turn into a gladiator . blech . that be say and there be some nice performance . young be particularly engage in a scene where he take up in cooper fighter plane and and roscoe karns be delightful a cooper fly buddy . tone and despite his inability to express himself through realistic dialogue and have a nice moment and dash away his own furtive tear over his buddy young fate . crawford and stripped of meaningful dialogue a well and mostly come across a either wooden or melodramatic and which be quite a balancing act for one role . the battle scenes not surprisingly and for a howard hawk film be the most exciting part of the entire picture . but not enough . as far a i be concern and this be 75 minute of my life i be never go to get back . | 0neg |
my wife and i think that with this cast and director and the movie would have to be at least worth watch . we be wrong . in fact and we give up on it after 45 minute . the idea that crawford and young and tone be british but speak with american accent be and for me and impossible to get past hard to believe this be england when no one talk with a british accent . there be zero chemistry between crawford and anyone and and to echo a previous comment and the idea that cooper and crawford suddenly declare their love for one another without any reason be ludicrous . there be no reason to care about any of the character and which be why we throw in the towel halfway through . i find it hard to believe that hawk direct this and a none of the actor speak with the trademark hawksian rat a tat delivery . so save your time and and skip this one . | 0neg |
couldn not believe it . clip sentence . good grief . know what . all true . real people ever talk like this . don not think so . good girl . stout fellow . stiffen upper lip . only reason give movie 2 instead of 0 gary cooper such a dish . movie a a whole ridiculous unless you like watch endless biplane dogfight . seem endless and anyway . think all franchot tone dialogue dub . when crawford and young make a special effort to sound british they come over a irish . handy tip we brits clip word and not sentence . and somehow we manage to draaaaaaaawl at the same time . but that only if we have be to a really good public ( that private to you ) school . | 0neg |
lulu ( louise brook ) work a a typist and be miss something in her life . she enter a miss france contest against the wish of her boyfriend andre ( george charlia ) and she win . she set off for the miss europe title leave her boyfriend behind . she win again but return home to andre because he have ask her to . once back together and her life become mundane again so one night she write a note to him and leave to experience the fame that be wait for her a miss europe . andre follow her . this film be a silent film with a piano music track all the way through . it be also speed up so everything seem fast . limited dialogue have be add on afterwards and it be very phony . the cast be alright bearing in mind that it be a silent film . the best part of the film come at the end but the story go on a little too long . after watch this and i be not really sure what the big deal be over the look of louise brook she have a terrible haircut that make her face look fat . i do not need to watch it again . | 0neg |
please note represent i see from the various post that there be an original silent version and also a sound version of this same film . i saw the sound version and it be esthetically yicky . consider some indicate that the original version be long and without crappy dubbing and my review must be read with this in mind . although i know that rene clair have a lovely reputation a a film maker and louise brook have a bit of a cult follow as well and this be in many way a technically poorly make film . while hollywood have already pretty much switch to sound mode around 1929 and up through the early to almost the mid 30 and a lot of famous french film be essentially silent film with some dialog and sound effect very poorly slap over top the film . the lip movement in many and and in particular this film and do not even come close to match what be be say and this would explain why an american like ms. brook could do a french film . this be just sloppy and i would have prefer they have just make a silent film and a a silent film this be would have be an average film with excellent camera work ( at time ) and some decent silent style act . the problem i also find with the film be the overly simplistic plot . for a silent morality play circa 1920 and it would have be fine and but by 1930 standard the plot be a bit hoary ( that mean old not slutty ) . a lady win a beauty contest and her macho fiancé can not handle it . she give it all up and temporarily and but be lure back to the fancy life and this spell her end . a tad melodramatic and huh . and also a bit simplistic and underdeveloped . finally and the character of the fiancé friend ( . ) i find very disturbing and unreal . he look like harold lloyd and spend much of the movie be abuse and pick on by the friend and everyone else . a he just take it throughout the movie and no resolution come about and his character seem superfluous and the treatment he receive mean spirit . be audience suppose to laugh a he be abuse . this seem to me that what be imply and i do not like it at all . there be far good french film of the era ( le million and la femme du boulanger and fanny and regain and and others ) as well a good silent film . i just can not understand this film high rating . | 0neg |
this review may contain some spoiler . just when you think they do not make them so extremely bad anymore and along come rae dawn chong a a space vixen and willie nelson a a native american witchdoctor . it even worse when you factor in that these two be the good aspect of ` starlight and a film that should only be view for laugh . chong be an alien sent to earth to seek out the only remain half breed and part man and part alien . apparently and the earth be in dire strait . something be wrong with the genetics of mankind and and in a few decade the world will be turn into a polluted wasteland . only by duplicate the dna of the half breed can the kindly alien race save the planet . don not ask me how that be and since the movie give the impression that the world will be destroy by pollution and which be cause by human . you would think earth could only be save by get rid of the polluting creature and not save them . anyway and the half breed turn out to be billy wirth and a man living in a small southwestern town and be part native american from his mother line and despite the fact that his mother be a red head caucasian and his grandfather be willie nelson . wasn not this the sort of malarkey that make the bombastic carmen electra bomb ` the chosen one such a howler . chong arrives in her ship just a wirth nearly drowns after drive his motorcycle into a lake in a fit of recklessness be the result of just break up with his girlfriend . before you can say utter the word ` hogwash and chong be reveal her secret to wirth and who isn not surprise for a moment and and spread the word to wirth family . chong also make pal with wirth mother and who seem to have lose a few of her marble over the year . well and this be because wirth father be an alien that abandon her . of course and he be the standard rogue alien that have conveniently pick this moment to come to earth for wirth so he can use wirth dna to make the people of earth his slave . ( huh . ) his laughable attempt to use his telepathic power and capture wirth suck up most of the screen time and be the bad scene in the movie . not only be they boring and but they be the scene where you will be spot the flub the most . the idea might be nice on paper and but they be handle here with the utmost of stupidity and particularly in the aforementioned scene with the rogue alien . but the effect be the bane of the movie . the opening scene involve chong on her spaceship and communicate with her superior and someone who we do not see but that chong communicates with through a vat that emit pink light . they use no spoken word and but telepathy and so we be treat to subtitle . trouble be and both chong and her superior subtitle both look alike and and the director give you no indication a to which of the two be actually peak at any give moment and which make the whole conversation nothing but gibberish . the spaceship be the bad effect to come out of hollywood this side of an ed wood film . now and i be usually lenient on effect when deal with a low budget film such a this and but these effect really get to me . the most offensive be the most simple one represent a fake night sky . the star in the sky be so phony they almost sound off a dial tone . most notably be the moment where chong tell someone she come from pleiades and and we get a shot of the seven star . thing be and the seven star take up about half the night sky in the movie and but any stargazer know that pleiades be a star cluster between the constellation perseus and taurus and and the cluster doesn not take up much room in the sky at all . these effect just get so lousy that your jaw will hang low and low with every passing moment . be careful and for it will go right through the floor during the finale when the effect have willie nelson turn into a human spotlight and . . . oh and it have to be see to be believe . starlight and star bright while last star i see tonight while i wish i might and i wish i may while not have to watch any more of this trash today . zantara score represent negative . | 0neg |
i finally catch up to starlight last night on television and all i can say be . . . wow . it hard to know where to begin the incredibly hokey special effect ( check out the laser beam shoot out of willie eye . ) and the atrocious acting and the ponderous dialogue and the mismatch use of stock footage and or the air of earnest pretentiousness that infuse the entire production . this truly be a one of a kind experience and and we should all be thankful for that . i nominate jonathon kay a the true heir to ed wood . | 0neg |
this have an interesting and albeit somewhat fanciful sci fi plot and but it waste with poor direction and shlocky special effect . rae dawn chong be appeal and despite the lack of a believable story and direction consistent with her talent . | 0neg |
all i can really say be that i be glad that i be knit sock while watch the movie and or i would be very angry for have waste 2 hour of my life . the acting be terrible and the plot be even bad . there be some scene that be mean to be serious that have my husband and i laugh out loud . i highly recommend this movie to people who like to do their own version of mst3k . | 0neg |
i shudder to think what people must have think of environmentalist after view this piece of overbear and preachy cinematic trash . lard with enough indian wannabe nuttery and space brother buffoonery to stock a new age shop and starlight make anyone who give a damn about the planet look like a feather wear crystal fondling idiot . the plot . alien rae dawn chong arrive to guide a flute playing underwear model in a mystical quest to avert earth impend environmental collapse . but first they must defeat an evil alien who look nothing so much like a refugee from a castro street bar . fortunately and they have get mystical grandpa willie nelson along to help ( who look faintly embarrass by the proceeding and as well he ought to be ) along with bucket of cheap f or x and ream of pointlessly swell music . sure and the clunky script help to obscure the film trite plot and staggering pace and but that just the tip of this melt movie iceberg . everyone concern with this film should have their union card revoke until they complete a real course in environmental science . | 0neg |
i want to see it because of two reason . one and it be the remake of high sierra with bogart and two and the bogart part be play by jack palance and whom can play dramatic role with some subtility and a in the big knife . but now i wonder why they decide to shoot this remake . the film follow the same plot a hig sierra while only here and the actor do not care and the director be lose in his thought and and who know what the producer be think . jack palance be get bore look at shelley winter and shelley winter be ask herself what she do in this film . i do not even want to compare her to ida lupino in the same role . and of course and they have to use the dog story again . they surely could have come up with some different idea . perhaps the color make it nice to see the same location where they shoot high sierra and but that definitely doesn not add any quality to the film . it a waste of time if you have see high sierra before . otherwise and why not see a pseudo film noir . a for me and i would rather die than see it one more time . | 0neg |
city girl meg tilly receive a horrify phone call from her mother and and understandably shaken and return home to her family rural dig and only to be face with a mystery represent why be all the homespun resident act out in bizarre and unsettling way . radiation thriller and with barely a nod to ecology and have small town resident go berserk and which ( laughably ) include two woman gaze at each other with desire in a public place and tim matheson receive oral attention from a girl on an office bench . the picture be too silly for word and waste tilly wistfulness and quiet intensity on trash while force itself into a corner it can not possibly hope to get out of . some of the cinematography by thomas del ruth be good ( particularly a fire sequence set inside a garage ) and though he be let down by the scrappy editing and a fairly bathetic finale . simplistic screenplay have nary a surprise nor a shred of originality up it sleeve . half from . | 0neg |
i have be know to fall asleep during film and but this be usually due to a combination of thing include and really tired and be warm and comfortable on the sette and have just eat a lot . however on this occasion i fell asleep because the film be rubbish . the plot development be constant . constantly slow and boring . thing seem to happen and but with no explanation of what be cause them or why . i admit and i may have miss part of the film and but i watch the majority of it and everything just seem to happen of it own accord without any real concern for anything else . i cant recommend this film at all . | 0neg |
. let me count the way . 1. a title only remake that pull out every cliché in the slasher handbook . 2. a plot so predictable that it become quite pathetic . 3. a completely weak execution of all attempt at suspense or thrill . 4. a pg 13 rating that insure no gore and violence and or sex . 5. a villain that be not frighten or even mysterious . 6. a cast of character that be so thinly write and stereotype that we couldn not possibly care about them . 7. a lack of any effectively creepy atmosphere ( much unlike the original prom night ) . 8. a script of dialog that beyond poor it mind numb . 9. a series of cardboard performance ( not sure whether to blame the actor or the lousy aforementioned script for that ) . 10. a completely inept teen target slasher remake that not brave enough to attempt to have an imagination or even to show a puddle of blood . it a no brainer horror fan and save your money . bomb out of . | 0neg |
prom night be shoot with the artistic eye someone give while finely craft a lifetime original film . you know the one . this october and lifetime take a break from the courageous tale of a woman survive ( insert disease name here ) to tell the somewhat creepy tale of a woman pursue by a stalker ex boyfriend . it dramatic it sappy it immensely dull . it do nothing to further a genre and tell an original story and or strive for any sort of newness . prom night share this plight . watch the killer poke hole in his victim and we sit silently a they slump to the floor with not a drop of blood spill . it occur to me that this be the clean killer in movie history . our director be work with a fairly good look killer so he be force to pour on the camera angle to make him appear creepier . think about matthew mcconaughey come at you with a knife . you would probably go oh . good lookin guy be go to kill me . naaaa . not scary even for a second and so the director throw schaech into shadow and over the shoulder in the mirror . this mirror shot be repeat to the point of sickness a it practically become a fetish of the creator . you will get 15 jump scare in this film and 2 of which make my date jump ( i might mention she be afraid of everything ) . i would also mention she decide to take a nap halfway through the film and at one point threaten to leave me . a if this film be not disjoint enough and it appear to be cut to shred . i be not say it look like key point be leave on the cutting room floor a the crew scramble to salvage some semblance of a horror film while i be say a the film move from scene to scene and you often get a jarring jump . this be the kind of thing you would expect when a film catch fire and a projectionist be force to splice end together and cross his finger and and hope for the best . the editor should be shoot . with a plot you can pack into two sentence and one stray spray of blood and an emo killer and and the tension of a very special episode of silver spoon and be leave with no reason to support horror this weekend at least on the big screen . in fact and this be the sort of film that should be punish . be it really that hard to make a scary movie . be this crew even aware they be make a horror film . a complete waste of my time and yours . i bite the bullet to get you this review . don not let my sacrifice be in vain . dont go into the movie . | 0neg |
poor acting and no script and no plot and no convincing killer and no suspense and no original setup and it use the same closet or under the bed or person behind you in the mirror tactic over and over again make it repetitive and boring and and not in a foreshadowing way either and and the fact that nobody ever really get kill ( at least not on screen ) and which in turn zap any suspense it may invoke right out of it and make everyone feel eve more cheated for spend money on their admission ticket . it a horror film w or o any horror lmao . the most you see be what look like someone have take a ketchup bottle and spray it across a plastic sheet . you have to be a teen who be sit there scream in the theater and scar yourself to have enjoy this and or you be high or drunk at the time . honestly and i have a life and do not bother write review that often unless i really really hat something and or enjoy it tremendously . but this film be awful and i feel i have a duty of sort to warn you not to give your money to hollywood and encourage this kind of filmaking ever again . it be one thing to rent a bad movie at blockbuster from the weinsteins and it another when you have to sit through it in a theater . also and in case you want some remake nostalgia and forget it . this be not a remake and nor be it a re imagining . it be not scary and nor engaging and nor be it satisfy enough to be funny like others on imdb have claim . it be just stale and booooring . here be what you will take away from this film represent remember the scar on brittany snow head that stand out more than the plot and the fact that jonathan schaech must be have some sexual affair with j. s. cardone of the forsaken to have get another role a a killer ( because he be as frightening a my poodle and and too cute to kill just about anyone ) and that for some reason ( duh ) everyone who go back to the hotel suite never come back . what kind of person would not get worry at the prom when they decide to announce the candidate for prom king and queen and the fiercely competitive girl just somehow doesn not show up . this be my warn to you . do not waste youre money like i do . the original suck too but be more of a guilty pleasure for jamie lee curtis fan and though no way near as bad a this piece of crap ( sorry to sound vulgar or rude and but once you see this and you will understand why i say what i say ) . | 0neg |
prom night be about a girl name donna ( brittany snow ) who be be chase by a psycho killer try to kill her at her prom night . and by do so kill her family and friend and and her enemy . now before i begin let me say have you be tire of pg 13 horror movie that haven not be scary lately . be you tire of stupid girl dialog oh my god and talk about girlish thing . and be you really tire of girl in relationship and then cry . and the last thing be you tire of the u remake asian and japanese and and chinese film . that pretty much sum up prom night but i be still not do with the review . the only reason to see prom night be to crack a laugh at the kill . if not and do not see prom night . you never see the kill an only hear screaming and you see some blood on the wall . and by the way the death be repeat like 24/7 . so not only aren not they scary but it obnoxious . by the time i meet the cast i think i be ready to hurl . too much girl talk and too much guy talk and and lot of oh my gosh . it our prom . i understand it fun but seriously be it too much to ask not to concentrate . if i be to put prom night on the list of bad film of 2008 without see the other film i would be the first one too . i be not go to be surprise if it get release on dvd for cheap and quick . seriously do not spend your money or the time for dull acting and cheap scare and and a night to die for when watch the film . 1 star out of 10 . ( p. s. if i could give the film zero star i would ) . | 0neg |
i be the guy who usually keep opinion to himself and but i just get back from this movie and and felt i have to express my opinion . let me start by say that i be a huge horror fan . but what make a horror movie . i sure like to see even a tiny bit of a good script and character development . i know they often lack in horror movie and but prom night look like it do not even put forth any effort in that department . next and we all love suspense . that on the edge of your seat suspense with unpredictable surprise . yeah and prom night have none of that . of course and we like a terrifying killer . prom night have that . nope and it have a pretty boy with a cute lil knife . and when all else fail . at least horror have it guilty pleasure to make it enjoyable like gore gore gore and and the occasional nude scene . yeah and well when you have a horror movie rat pg 13 like prom night and they leave that stuff out too . so with all of these element miss and i ask . do this still count a a horror movie . nope . i would call it more of a comedy . people in my theater be laugh more at this then they be when i saw semi pro that be suppose to actually be a comedy ( which also suck and but thats another story . ) . i think i be just go to have to give up on new horror . all the good horror movie of the good ol day have be remake into garbage so movie studio can make money . the people i go to see it with do not even know this be a remake . which make me mad . i wonder what will happen when there no more movie to remake . where will horror go next . | 0neg |
so and prom night be suppose to be a horror and thriller movie . i be a big wuss and be scar to see this movie at the beginning and but upon see it and it be neither horror or thriller . i be basically make fun of the movie in my seat because it be so predictable . you could predict what be go to happen next . the young actor be alright at play their character and but i would have to say the killer be definitely at the top of the game act wise . yes and i will give prop for the plot because it be good and but it not thrill or scary . there be almost zero jump in your seat scene . so and do not waste ten dollar see it in theatre and wait til it come to dvd . | 0neg |
when i first saw the trailer for prom night and i have to admit and the trailer look good and like this would be a fun horror movie . so my friend and i saw prom night last night and i have to say i must be grow up because this be such a ridicule film and not to mention i be so sick and tired of the typical horror slasher movie with the loud noise a an excuse to scare people . there be no tension and the character and how be i suppose to care about them . they have no development what so ever and the killer . oh and my god and this be very possibly the most stupid serial killer that have ever exist and i know it a film and but why would a man who never ( or at least we know of ) kill any one before and kill a girl family and friend that he just obsess over . i mean and be he go to kidnap her or be he go to kill her . i have no idea and because this film make no sense and be too predictable and insulting to true fan of horror . donna family be just brutally murder by her teacher and who have become very obsessed over her and he be capture and put in jail . it be 3 year and she just now get some peace in her life and she even go to her senior prom . but the killer have escape and still have donna on his mind and he follow her to her prom which mean bad news for her friend and and the hotel maid and and the bell boy and because it be such a good idea to kill the maid and bell boy so no one become suspicious enough to check to see where these employee be . donna be in big trouble because also this killer who be clearly human can apparently get into house un noticed and can kill people so silently and just and wow . i be sorry and i really do want to love this movie and we haven not have a good slasher flick in a long time and but this be just a stupid movie that i be not impressed with . just the situation be unbelievable and the actor be obnoxious . i know that this be a pg 13 movie and but i just love how someone be brutally stab to death and they only have just a little blood on their clothes . not to mention no stab hole . i wouldn not recommend this movie for anyone unless youre a teen and this movie be make for the teenager and not adult and and not for those who know a real horror movie and no offense to those who do enjoy this film and but i do not understand how anyone could . negative . | 0neg |
i saw this trailer and think to myself my god be this movie for real and who would want to see this movie and at the same time i think that and my girl friend turn to me and say we have to go see this movie . enough say so i saw this about 5 minute go and i try to put on a brave face and enjoy the cheap scare but there weren not even any of those . it have to be one of the bad movie i have ever see the director have no influence no perspective the same shot be use again and again he do not build up suspense the cast probably be simply told scream cry run fall . i would love to see the script a the first 40 min be mostly annoy girly giggle and bad music and there be absolutely no character development . the plot be just . well there be no plot it be basically i know we will terrorize a high school group on their prom night with a stalker serial killer and that brilliant . hmmm the acting be what you expect in a australian soap opera hopeless and that main character the blondie god dam she annoy me . her long line must have be half a sentence and and every time she be on camera she be just pull another rude facial expression . please listen to me if you have any taste in movie do not go see this and and if your like me and do not have a choice well then i wish you good luck and maybe smuggle in an ipod or magazine . can not believe this film get make . | 0neg |
in bridgeport and the deranged high school teacher richard fenton ( johnathon schaech ) be obsess by the teenager student donna keppel ( brittany snow ) while she witness him murder her family to stay with her and but richard be arrest and send to prison for life . three year later and the traumatized donna be feel well but be still under psychological treatment and take pill . on her prom night and she go with her boyfriend bobby ( scott porter ) and two couple of friend to the pacific grad hotel for the party . but the psychopath richard have escape from prison and be lodge in the same floor in the hotel chase donna and stab her friend and staff of the hotel that cross his path . the forgettable slash prom night be a collection of clichés with a total lack of originality . the stupid story be shallow and silly and with a bad acting of johnathon schaech in the role of an insane killer . the predictable screenplay be amaze since it be possible to foresee what be go to happen in the next scene . my vote be three . title ( brazil ) represent a morte convida para dançar ( the death invite to dance ) . | 0neg |
i be not particularly fond of remake and or to steal the modern jargon retellings and but this film truly peeve me off . the original prom night and while not in my humble estimation a masterpiece and still realize what it be . horror . there be some simple thing to remember when make a horror film . suspense be crucial to maintain the interest of the audience . sorry folk and but a white knuckle film this be not . the scare be cheap and and foreshadow terribly . ( a good example of scare which have be do to clichéd excess now and be the cat jump out of the closet and follow soon there after but a now unexpected appearance by the villain of the film ) this film couldn not successfully pull that off and so how could i expect it to fulfill any of the other convention of horror film . there need to be a likable hero or heroine . this film doesn not have one . the person i most identified with be the head detective . his calm demeanor and but level head approach to the escape of a killer be what more film of this ilk should have . common sense approach to event that occur . ( if youre run from an axe wield psycho and you turn and sprint in the opposite direction . not jog and whilst look back ever three second and gag the killer progress and only to trip over every branch and inanimate object in your path . ) if you friend disappears and you do not go look for them alone . and if you suspect foul play you tell someone and not investigate yourself . these clichés be tire and well overplay . in the horror genre in general and and in this film in particular . | 0neg |
imagine the scenario you be at the movie theater only because you be in washington for the weekend and it rain and youre finish with the museum . you think you might go see the sarah marshall movie a the trailer look so so and you do not have to engage your brain . it sell out . option . the bank job and in bruges and the leatherheads or prom night . you have see the bank job ( suprisingly decent heist movie that ) and in bruges ( again and pretty good ) so youre down to two . you do not fancy watch clooney or the nice one from the office run around in 1930 football uniform and so you go see prom night right . wrong . you take the $ 8 . 50 and walk up to a stranger in the street and ask him to punch you in the face for $ 8 . 50. it would be money well spent . it actually play like more of a comedy than a horror or thriller or whatever it be suppose to be . if i be finance that movie and they show me that a a final cut i wouldn not know whether to laugh or cry . probably both . an insult to anyone intelligence . my roommate be laugh out loud most of the movie and a for the acting and they might as well have cast robot ( or maybe dog ) in the role and they would have be more realistic . the detective have to be possibly the bad actor i have ever see ( ben affleck and hayden christansan ( i hate his act so much i do not care how you spell his name ) you be relieve on your title ( s ) ) so in summary not good . | 0neg |
and rent a good horror movie . it like the writer have never see a horror movie before and do not realize every single thing he write be clichéd and hackneyed and have be parody to perfection in movie like scream and scary movie . in between the scary bit be the most banal and boring dialog ever write . stupid be go to the prom junk . i want to claw my ear off . honestly and the hill have good dialog . there really be no need to make this movie . lead lady be uninteresting and i keep think her . really . guy be obsess with her . really . all the character act in stupid way and include the police . ( cover the place in team of 2. front and back . not one sleepy cop sit in his car with the window roll down just wait for his throat to be slash . ) the serial killer just swan about murder everyone he want without the least bit of problem . no resistance from victim ( or door ) . nobody have any protection or the least idea of fight back ( or flip the security lock on the hotel room door ) . the people be like mentally disabled sheep . by the by and if youre a gore fan and you will be disappoint too . all the killing be keep offscreen and be ahem tastefully do . ( so boo hoo for you . ) none of the killing be the least bit interesting . most of the time they have already happen by the time we find out . the only cliché miss be the cat that always pop out in this kind of movie . oh kitty . you scar me . i think you be the killer aiieeee . and then at the end when it time for the killer to die well and let just say it the easy and most obvious choice . snore . the audience be jeer and talk back to the screen throughout . it be too dumb to believe and not really scary enough . don not encourage this kind of lazy film making . ( oh and and by the way no crowning of a prom king or queen . no tiara . no bucket of blood . ) so save your money and rent carrie or friday the 13th or halloween or scream or scary movie ( any of them ) to get a good scare with some original twist . | 0neg |
okay . so i just get back . before i start my review and let me tell you one thing represent i want to like this movie . i know i have be negative in the past and but i be hop to be surprised and actually come out like the film . i do not . it not just the fact that every horror cliché imaginable be in this . and it not just the fact that they make every little thing into a jump scare ( walk into a baseball bat leave on the floor . be you kid me . ) . it just wasn not scary . one thing i be surprise about represent there be more blood than i think there be go to be . which isn not say much . the film start off with donna be drop off by lisa mom at her house . she come in . go upstairs . camera pan to her father dead on the couch . spooky . she go upstairs and where the aforementioned baseball bat scene happen . find her brother on his bed and apparently dead ( how could she tell . he do not have a spot of blood on him ) . killer come in and donna hide under bed and mom dy . she run outside scream for help . killer behind her represent i do it for u . cut to therapy session . this confuse a lot of people everyone be ask whether or not her family actually die or if she imagine it and she mention how the nightmare have start come back . filler dialogue ensues . they cut to the chase pretty quick . few scene at the salon and they go to the hotel . of course the killer be already there ( for some reason and he escape 3 day ago but the police or family weren not inform until he already there ) . more filler ensues . i be not go to go on about what happen in the film and because i do not want to spoil it too much . if you want to know who die and horror_fan make a post about it already . but on the subject of death represent they weren not that excite . people in the theatre actually laugh out loud ( an experience i have never have before in a horror movie and not even in when a stranger call ) during several of them . one in particular represent the bus boy guy who give the most hilarious cared face i have ever see . the only death involve any blood be lisa and and that be pretty scarce . her throat be slash and blood ( if you can even call it that it be practically black ) splatter on the curtain thing . the only other blood be on claire when we see her body . apparently and fenton decide to stab her a few time after he choke her to death . um and okay . the movie be one of the most clichéd i have ever see . let see here . obligatory close mirror curtain boom . scene . check . twice and actually ( you could tell they be struggle ) . mandatory back up into killer . check . there also the back up into lamp scene and but you have all see that . oh and you say you want a bird fly away scare . well and you get it . ( yes and they manage to incorporate one of those in here ) . and and of course and the we have security on all exit but he still escape scene . shall i go on . i could . for anyone say the character weren not stupid and be you kid me . oh and even though the massive alarm be ring and literally say please vacate the building and and 3 of my friend be miss and i be go to go upstairs to get my wrap . these character be some of the most flawed and stupid character ever . the only likable character lisa make one of the most stupid move in the movie . oh and i just realize the psycho teacher be here . i must leave my strong boyfriend behind to run off by myself to warn her . oh and shoot and the elevator be be to slow . guess i will take the stair and run off into the construction site . ugh . by the end of the film and they all deserve to die . the only death anyone felt any remorse for be donna boyfriend ( i can not even remember his name be that bad . ) and and by that time and the audience be completely drain out of this scareless and clichéd film . there be some positive the acting be decent for the most part and and it be well shot . but that about it . i would give it a 1/5 and and that be generous . just for the laugh ( and believe me and the audience have a few ) and and brittany snow . oh and and the reaction be bad . very bad . people be boo ing after the movie end and buzz afterwards be very negative . expect bad leg for this one . | 0neg |
good grief i can not even begin to describe how poor this film be . don not get me wrong and i wasn not expect much to begin with . let face it and a pg 13 slasher flick be pre destine to be miss the ummm . slashing and so no one should be surprise by the lack of gore . but it be the level of incompetence and cliché on display in all the other aspect of this movie be what really blow me away . we have a protagonist who be quite simply so completely useless that you find yourself root for the bad guy . and here a turnup for the book . she never change hence break the cardinal rule of basic screen write character development . if you think by the end of this film the poor little girl be go to turn around and finally kick some arse then think again . on top of this and be hand possibly the least intriguing ( and definitely the least scary ) killer ever to grace the genre . i be not joke when i say that dora the explorer have scary villain than this movie . finally and because all the potential for tension or gratuity be remove by the inept ( and apparently thirteen year old ) director and what could possibly be leave to fill up 2 hour of screen time . closet and that what . lot and lot of closet represent big closet and small closet and mirror closet and closet to narnia and so many damned closet you will not want to dress yourself for another year . in fact this movie should have just be call closet and and have a picture of a big scary coathanger on the dvd case . on the back it could have have a photograph of the audience fall asleep and a quote by roger and ebert something to the extent of represent what the f @ . do we just waste our time watching . | 0neg |
this movie be a good example of the extreme lack of good writer and director in hollywood . the fact that people be pay to make this piece of junk show that there be a lack of original idea and talent in the entertainment business . the idea that audiences pay to see this movie ( and like an idiot i rent the film ) be discourage also . obsess teacher ( 3 year prior ) kill teenager family because he want her . for no reason he kill the mother and father and brother . from the first five minute you see the bad acting and direction . year later and obsess teacher break out of prison . hmm usual bad write no one in the town he terrorize know until the last minute . obsess teacher somehow become like a navy seal and can sneak around and sniff out people and with a knife be super killer . sure . now obsessed teacher kill hotel maid for no reason and knife bellhop for the fun of it and and start to hunt down the teenager friend . now there be the perfect way to get the girl to love you . obsess teacher sneak out of hotel again it be stupid and ever cop would know his face but he walk right by them . now he kill two cop outside teenager house and somehow sneak into her bedroom and kill her boyfriend . there be not one single positive thing about this piece of garbage . if any other profession put out work of this low quality and they would be fire . yet these idiot be make hundred of thousand of dollar for writing and direct this trash . | 0neg |
i wish i could give this movie a zero out of ten . before go to this movie the day after it come out and i come on imdb to check out the comment . a comment call the movie predictable and cheesy with terrible dialog . i never go by other people opinion and so i waste seven dollar for this crap movie . it have to be one of the bad movie i have ever see . the person who write the script should be push off a cliff . since when do scary movie have sappy scene . i swear and i be amaze there weren not any group hug ^ ^ moment . i think i jump . once . and that because i zone out and think about my research paper for english . the clichéd and bird or cat pop out of nowhere thing when you think something be gon na happen . and the character be stupid . my friend and i almost die laugh when the alarm go off and the main character say and i have to get my mom shawl . you . idiot . screw the shawl . safety be just a few step away and but no and my mom shawl ( that do not match the dress by the way ) be wayyyy more important than my health and safety . and to top it all off and they take her back to her house and knowing that the killer know where she live . god . my friend and i also predict the entire movie . and not just the and i bet he hide under the bed and moment . it be the and he steal the bellhop clothes and sneak out of the hotel and it the detective come down the hallway and not the killer . moment . movie should never be this predictable . disney movie aren not even this predictable . i be gon na complete my rant now by say and this be a terrible movie . i be glad i go to see it in theater so i wouldn not buy it for $ 15 . 00 and then hate it . it be just bad . it would have be good if only one thing would have happen . if and after be shoot by the detective and the killer would have fall down in the same position he get shoot in . knife in hand and fall and stab the girl on his way down . oh and how lovely that would have be . don not waste your time or money . go see a good movie . | 0neg |
prom night ( 2008 ) direct by represent nelson mccormickstarring represent brittany snow and scott porter and jessica stroup and and dana davisplot represent three year ago and donna ( brittany snow ) witness the death of her entire family at the hand of her teacher ( jonathan schaech ) who have a bit of a crush on her . now and she be prepare for her senior prom with her stupid annoying friend . once there and they start die one by one because the killer escape from prison and no one bother to warn donna because apparently her prom be too important to interrupt . pros represent i get a few good laugh out of the film due to the terrible dialog and the dumb character move . an example representeveryone decide not to tell donna that the man who be oddly obsessed with her ( she doesn not seem that great ) have escape from prison . their reason represent they do not want to embarrass her in front of all her friend . lolcons represent let me start off by say i be a huge slasher fan . usually i can have fun with even the bad one . i even like some pg 13 horror film . tourist trap ( 1979 ) and one of my favorite and be originally rat pg . i also enjoy poltergeist ( 1982 ) and the grudge ( 2004 ) . so the fact that this be a dumb slasher film that be rat pg 13 do not have anything to do with me not enjoy the movie . first of all and i have a big problem with the story . i like slasher film that do not even have story . at least they can be entertain . this be about a teacher who fall in love with his student and so he kill her entire family . a few year later and he try to make it up to her by ruin her prom and kill all of her friend . then there be subplots that i doubt anyone care about . claire ( jessica stroup ) be fight with her boyfriend and she have cramp and and i couldn not care less . this should have be a lifetime feature and not a remake of prom night . and then . this be a slasher film with terrible death scene . i do not even care that it not that gory and some of my favorite slasher ( halloween and curtain and the original prom night ) be not that gory but they still have effective murder . here and we have half the character die in the same hotel room off screen and a woman be stab several time with no stab wound and and a closeup on a bad actor face a he scream in agony . i be sure that 10 year old girl be terrify and but not me . i also hat the character . there be donna unrealistically sensitive boyfriend bobby ( scott porter ) and i can almost guarantee you will never meet a boyfriend that sensitive in your life and unless you be a gay male . then we have donna annoy friend claire ( stroup ) and lisa ( dana davis ) and and the token mean girl chrissy ( brianne davis ) . if you think the character in death proof be annoy and try watch this movie . and do not get me start on ronnie ( collins pennie ) and the dj ( jay phillips ) who give me flashbacks to usher performance in shes all that . add to all that predictable plot turn and a terrible soundtrack and a big lack of respect to the original material and and you have quite a stinker . | 0neg |
note represent i couldn not force myself to actually write up a constructive review of prom night . it just can not be do . instead and i go through what i think about while watch the movie . thing that i think about while watch prom night represent i be so tired of those dream where these elaborate death will take place and only for the main character to wake up right before she bite it . of course and when i say elaborate death and i mean off screen throat slash or stab in the stomach . didn not the whole it just a dream thing get ruin by dallas . speaking of which and i wonder if a couple stab in the gut will cause immediate death . the film be only ten minute into and i can already count the horror clichés on two hand . not a good sign . even after just meet the protagonist boyfriend and i be convince he will die . anybody want to place bet . the killer in this movie be a teacher that be obsess with the main character and donna . ( by the way and do anybody think that donna be a horrible name for a main character in a horror film . ) he spend three year in a maximum security prison before break out and find donna celebrate her high school prom . while there be no accounting for taste and i seriously wonder who would take all that time to stalk somebody as dull a donna . high school allow prom to take place at hotel and doesn not keep track of the student . apparently student be perfectly able to buy a hotel room and go in and out a they please . i suppose if this plot point wasn not in place and the movie would be 90 minute of people be bore out of their mind and randomly bite the dust whenever they go to the bathroom . i suppose the trade off for their excitement be my utter boredom with everything . i have already play count the piece of chew bubble gum under the seat and guess how much money i have in my wallet and i be only in the 20 minute mark . how else will i entertain myself . note to self represent don not forget milk and bread on the way home . dear screenwriter represent you have use up enough false scare to get through this movie and every other horror remake this year . the 1980 version of this film wasn not that good but compare to this remake it be like citizen kane and or at least the godfather . it have jamie lee curtis in one of her many post halloween horror flick and it do have a little twist at the end . i miss jamie lee . i wish she would act more . apparently at prom there isn not much dance go on . instead the girl get in fight with their boyfriend over where they plan to attend college . i hear all these college be bring up by name and and i can not help but wonder who these girl have to cheat off of on the entrance exam to get in . the killer must carry a bag of really effective cleaning supply and wipe up his mess between scene . that the only logical explanation for why he could stab somebody to death on the carpet or in the bathroom and by the time somebody go up to the hotel room and there be no trace of a struggle . ( on another side note represent this be a very lazy killer . michael myers go hunt after his victim . just say . ) it official represent the entire audience in the theater be root on the killer . what trigger it . be it whenever donna go back up to her hotel room while siren be go off order everybody to exit the building . be it her constant dream and and how even after go through something dramatic in say dream she insist on reenact her step to a tee . or be it brittany snow unconvincing performance . i will have to say it be all of the above . okay and who have he die off screen in the third act . you win the pot . finally and the movie be over . my friend turn to me and say donna wasn not too smart . that the understatement of the week . kind of like say that a tornado be a small gust of wind and or a week long power outage be a slight inconvenience . i can not wait to get on rotten tomato and see if anybody give this move a favoring review . i can not recommend this . i refuse to recommend this . this be a lazy of a horror film a any and and the only way to enjoy it cheese smelling plot be if you be under the influence of at least ten beer . and unfortunately for theater patron and alcohol isn not serve . rating represent out of . | 0neg |
i go into this with my hope up and by twenty minute into the movie i couldn not have be more let down . despite think that this would be another horribly bad remake and i keep my hope high that maybe . just maybe someone would get it right this time around . sadly and prom night be about on the same quality level a the recent april fool day remake and bad script and bad direction and cheesy overdone acting and generally bad horror . from begin to end it boring and repetitive and worthy of about a dozen eye roll . we have see it all before and we have see it do a million time well then this . if you go to see prom night in the theater ( i would say wait for the dvd or ppv ) and get ready for the audience to laugh and because laugh they will . the laugh aren not at point in the movie that be suppose to be funny and they be in response to key thrill moment in the film that be so poorly do you feel a if your watch the new installment of scary movie . seriously and be this suppose to be a remake or a spoof . the film maker miss the mark so badly here and that a large number of the audience in the theater i attend walk out about halfway through the movie . which in retrospect and i wish i have do . not me though and i have to torture myself and stick with it hop it would get good . needless to say it do not . the horror scene be a joke and not even so much because of the acting but because of the direction and the script and the special effect and the camera work . the movie manage to look a if they spend a fortune to produce it and but still come out of it with a micro budget movie . i halfway expect to see dollar store tag on some of the prop and keep thinking i would spot a porn star in the cast somewhere . this movie scary alright and if this be the future of big budget horror then the horror genre be doom . | 0neg |
prom night be a title only remake of the 1980 slasher flick that star jamie lee curtis and leslie nielsen . this movie take place in an oregon town and where donna ( brittany snow ) be about to go to her senior prom and let herself have some fun after go through some extremely traumatic event in the past few year . she and her friend arrive at the prom and which be take place in a grand hotel and and try and enjoy what be suppose to be the most fun night of their life . little do anyone know and a man from donna past and who have haunt her for year and be also at the prom . and be willing to kill anyone in way of his pursuit of her . i be a fan of the original prom night and so i try to maintain a little hope in this movie and but i have to admit i be quite disappointed . prom night suffers from the bad affliction a horror movie could have and and that be predictability . there be absolutely no surprise here and and i felt i have see everything in this movie do dozen of time and often well and before . what do this equate to for the audience . boredom . unless of course you have never see any horror movie and or be part of the pre teen crowd and but the majority of the audience will most likely be able to guess nearly everything that be go to happen . the plot be simplistic and but the entire script be void of any type of surprise and twist and atmosphere and or anything and and this really and really hurt the movie because it never really give the audience anything to sink their teeth into . it all just seem very bland . a lot of people seem to complain with the fact that this be a pg 13 slasher movie a well and and i understand what they be say and but i do not think it impossible to make a good slasher movie with minimal gore . take carpenter halloween for example little to no on screen violence and but still an extremely frightening and effective movie . you do not need gore to make a film scary and but even have prom night be gratuitously violent ( which it be not and it be very tame ) and it still would have add little to the movie because there be not much in the script to build on to begin with . the tension and suspense here be mild at best and and i spend most of the movie predict the outcome of situation and and be correct about 99 % of the time . our character aren not well write enough either for the audience to make any connection to them and and their by the number demise be routine and careless . i will point out a few thing i do like about this movie and though and because it wasn not completely useless the cinematography be really nice and and everything be very well film and fairly stylish . among the jump scare ( that be for the most part very predictable ) and there be a few that be kind of clever . the set for the movie be nice too and the hotel be a neat place for the plot to unfold and however predictable the unfolding may be . a for the acting and it mediocre at best . brittany snow play the lead decently and but really the rest of the cast doesn not show off much talent . johnathan schaech play the villain and and be probably the most experienced performer here and but even he isn not that impressive . however and i do like the character he play and which be a nice change from the typical amasked stalker type killer we see a lot . as far a the end go and the last fifteen minute of the film have me bore to my wit end and it be very anti climactic . overall and prom night be a disappointment . everything be very by the number and routine and and predictable and which be somewhat upsetting consider this have the potential to be a decent slasher movie . there be a few neat moment and but the movie lack any suspense or atmosphere and and have little plot development and nor believable character . i would advise seasoned horror fan to save their money and wait till it out on video and or rent the original instead and because there be absolutely no surprise here . some may find a little entertainment in it and but it be far too predictable for my taste . i expect good and and leave the theater very disappointed . negative . | 0neg |
if i could give this film a real rating and it would likely be in the minus number . while i respect the fact that somebody have to keep make these terrible horror film and seriously and people and buy a ticket for this film be a waste of money you could be spend on something far more worth your time . despite it be a horror film and there be nothing scary about it and unless the idea of see how many horror cliché you can fit in one movie scar you . if the rating have be high and it probably would have make for a good film in the long run . whoever make this version of prom night and you screw up . the actor could probably have do a decent job if it weren not for the questionable scripting . this be a terrible waste of a cinema trip . i would sooner go and see one miss call again and at least that have some plot . | 0neg |
i think it be an overrated pg 13 crap . at least brittany snow performance be good and some others like idris elba be good too and but some others teen in the prom like the lead friend be not that convince . the killer be so dumb and look so stupid too . the death be stupid and boring and completely unoriginals . the movie be very boring too and very overrated . it wasn not suspenseful at all and i almost fall asleep . it another bad pg 13 remake and it really a dreadful movie imo . the end be so stupid and the climax be very rushed and boring . the movie be pretty slow too . overall the only good thing about this crap fest be maybe brittany snow i think she give a good performance and idris elba too and but besides that it be a completely dreadful movie and horrible remake . well thats just my opinion . i give it a negative . | 0neg |
i saw this movie a few day ago and gamely jump during the scary part . i must admit and i find it pretty decent . until i start to think about what the character be say . logical problem represent1 . her boyfriend and who seem to be a pretty fit dude and make no sound while be kill . don not you think that he might have at least tried to take the killer . 2. when the remark be make that the gym teacher be soooo in love with lisa and i almost scream at the screen . when your best friend family have be kill by a teacher who be in love with her and you do not make comment like that if you have half of a heart . 3. as soon a nash ask the uncle how many exit they have in the house and the uncle catch on that there may be danger ahead and wouldn not the smart thing to do be to get donna and boyfriend and aunt and and uncle into a car and drive far and far away and then bait the house with the hrt and police force so that the killer have no way to get out . i could go on . and on . and on . basically and the plot be decent and the character weren not profile enough for you to actually feel any empathy when they be slaughter and there be way too many error . however . this movie might be good for teenager and or young couple just look for a fun night out . if you do not consider all the goof and it a mediocre film . | 0neg |
why hollywood feel the need to remake movie that be so brilliant their prime ( the texas chainsaw massacre and the hill have eye ) but be it considerably worse why hollywood feel the need to remake those horror film that weren not brilliant to start with ( prom night and the amityville horror ) much like their original these remake fail in create atmosphere and character or any genuine scare at all . prom night be so flat and uninteresting it hard to watch and but for all the wrong reason . it a poorly act and massively uninteresting and ultimately dull excursion that fail at everything it design to do . it clear hollywood horror be dead . even the like of the hill have eye and the texas chainsaw massacre manage to ruin their franchise in style with bucket of blood and a decent plot . prom night be virtually bloodless and i be not even go to mention how bad the plot be . it inability to seal the killer identify make this the least suspenseful horror movie since erm . the original . one of the most notorious slasher film of the 1980s return to terrorize filmgoers with this remake that prove just how horrifying high school dance can truly be . donna keppel ( brittany snow ) have survive a terrible tragedy and but now the time have come to leave the past behind and celebrate her senior prom in style . when the big night finally arrive and donna and her best friend prepare to enjoy their last big high school blowout by live it up and party till dawn . but while donna be willing to look past her nightmare and into a brighter future and the man she think she have escape forever have return for one last dance . an obsessed killer be on the loose and and he will slay anyone who attempt to prevent him from reach his one and only donna . who will survive to see graduation day and and what will donna do when she force to confront her great fear . scott porter and jessica stroup and and dana davis co star in the slasher remake that will have tuxedo clad teen everywhere nervously look over their shoulder a they file out onto the dance floor . a plot that will probably put you off go to see this . witch if you ask me be a good thing . without much to work with and mccormick gamely try to milk tension out of the most banal of situation . at one point and a girl back into a floor lamp ( a lamp . ) and mccormick try to pump it up into a jump scare moment . desperate time really do call for desperate measure . there haven not be this many shot of closet since the last ikea catalogue . in the era of the hill and my super sweet 16 and to catch a predator and there probably be a freaky and scary movie to be mine from the commoditisation of glamour and society creepy obsession with youthful beauty . this be not that movie . my final verdict . avoid at all cost . nobody will like prom night and it even a disappointment to thoses who usually enjoy hack job remake . consider it absolute lack of blood or fright . a night you will be in a hurry to forget . | 0neg |
ok this movie be make for one reason and one reason only to make money . the producer obviously do not care about kill a classic horror movie . i know this movie would suck as soon a it be go to be a pg 13 how many pg 13 slasher movie have turn out to be good . thats like ask how many woman have be on the moon . the answer be none . prom night 1980 be of cource no masterpiece but it certainly deserve to be recognise a a movie that stay true to it genre and deosnt try to be anything more than that . my problem with prom night 2008 be the way that it handle the killer and i have 3 major problem with him . 1 ) the way he escape and he be lock up in a mental institute and he escape through a air condition vent . what the hell . why would they have an air condition vent in the patient room . do they want him to be comfortable during his stay or something . 2 ) his intention be somewhat uncertain the killer want all of the main victim family and friend dead so he can have her all to his self and he say he love her but the next minute he try to kill her and so do he want to kill her and love her or just plain rape her . 3 ) the killer be too good and how do he develop all of his skill . he use to be a teacher and so in this one scene where he kill the main victim boyfriend while he basically on top of her asleep and she doesn not notice and it all silly 2 star out of 10 terrible and silly and stupid attempt at a horror movie . | 0neg |
the night of the prom represent the most important night to any shallow girl compose almost entirely of plastic . and so the character keep remind u every ten minute when some head peckingly miniscule event occur in their miniscule life . there really be no excuse for prom night . there be less than nothing original about it and i truly would have give it zero or less star be it possible on imdb . the only part of my viewing that i enjoy be when a group of teenager sit in front of u decide to play a game of ghost . it be a lot more exciting than whatever be go on on the screen in front of them . the plot be basically some guy go on a rampage . and the thing be and it wasn not even a slightly exciting rampage . maybe if the guy have be remotely frighten rather than a tame robbie williams lookalike with a baseball cap and i might have sit there feel slightly anxious . the fact that i care less about the character than i do about the colour of the cinema carpet do not really add to the effect and either . and to make matter bad and the rest of the character be equally one dimensional and oblivious . the hotel staff do not seem to notice or care that one of their maid have vanish and be further proof that a murderer be unrecognisable after he have have a shave . i be incredibly surprised that the bitchy and stereotypical girl in the blue dress be the only person to notice who he be . she realise this and then proceeds to fall down the stair and entangle herself in a plastic sheet and then knock over a pile of paint bucket . nice one . the bad thing be and i hold the belief that that the director be try his absolute hardest . he really push all boundary by not show any kill actually happen . shock . and the music and do not even get me start . it be almost as appropriate a strip at a funeral . i really wish that prom night be a joke . it be terrible and stupidly predictable . no one and in their right mind or otherwise and have any reason to see this film . mainstream cinema seem to be go downhill and film like this worsen the situation . if you get the urge to see this absolutely awful film and hear my plea . don not do it . there be good thing to spend six pound on . like a sheet to play ghost with . | 0neg |
the acting be horrendous as well a the screenplay . it be poorly put together and make you almost want to laugh at the several terribly act out murder scene . the end be even bad . everyone keep die and but somehow the end make it look like everything be perfectly ok. they do not give enough history about the obsession the teacher have and etc . the movie need more time to perhaps develop a good storyline . the only reason i give this negative be that i kind of feel bad for the young actor . they need well coach . they could have really make this an ok film and but the screenplay and act fail miserably . | 0neg |
i saw this film by accident and this movie be an accident . well it must of be . blonde woman be stalk and the villain appear then disappear get from one place to another in minute then disappear and reappear and hiding . he wasnt even a super hero so i do not know how he do it . he couldnt frighten a cat and that not hard to do . the old mirror in the bathroomis just not scary anymore in fact it stop be scary year ago . you have the cop on the trail of the villain and another cliché ( play by idris elba with a very convincing american accent and he from london ) the director didnt have a clue and have make a film full of cliché and make scary movewhich be a comedy look scary . pathetic . | 0neg |
when i first saw the preview for this movie and i really couldn not wait to see it . the plot seem good and the setting be great . i mean and a slasher movie that take place on prom night and great idea . and the plot represent a high school teacher that become sexually obsess with one of his student and go crazy and get arrest and and escape three year later on prom night . prom night and a night that be suppose to be happy and memorable and turn into hell . however and i saw it and be extremely disappointed . it be not only the bad horror movie i have ever see and but it be one of the bad movie in general that i have ever see . first of all and it wasn not even scary . there be not one moment in that movie when i jump out of my seat . also and the murder scene be so cheesy and dull . all the slasher do be either stab his victim in the stomach multiple time or cut their throat . also there be absolutely no gore ( it rat pg 13 ) . the scene with the most blood be probably the one where the killer murder the black girl . he slit her throat and blood splatter on the sheet hang around them ( they do not actually show him cut her throat ) . next and you see the killer face the first time he be introduce in the movie . he isn not mysterious and creepy and or scary . he just this guy who kill people . also and everything in the movie be so cliché . an example be when and at the end and the killer be about to kill the main character and at the last moment and the detective shoot and kill him . also and every single thing in this movie be so predictable . the victim and after see the guy with a knife and run for her life and hide and think she get away and and then the killer just pop out and kill her . finally and the sequence of the movie be extremely bad . the guy go into the hotel and kill a few people and the body be discover and someone pull the fire alarm and and everyone evacuates . the main character forgets something in her room and have an encounter with the killer and run and escape . thats it . she and her boyfriend go home and the slasher kill the guard patrol the house and find the girl and then get kill by the detective . the movie sequence be so stupid and cliché . if your thinking of see this movie all because the preview look good and trust me and do not waste your time or money . no wonder this movie be be show in the small theater in the movie theater . my friend and i and along with these two girl sit in the back and be the only one in the theater . that should have tell me something about the movie beforehand . | 0neg |
we have all be ask ourselves why do not they remake the slasher film that be only ok instead of remake the one that be great already and that way they can only make it good . well with prom night they have remake the average but trashy fun 80 jamie lee curtis film and make it even worse . it a paint by number slasher film which be clearly try to attract the young teen ( hence no violence etc ) and the knife in this slasher flick be blunt . the director spend so much time focus on try to make the rather attractive killer look somewhat creepy that anything else go out of the window . the cast who include britney snow ( who be superb in hairspray ) try their hard but the material give them nothing to do but pout and look scared . more annoying be how the death scene be handle ( we will hear the attack but wont see it ) . it also look like the only place the knife in this film work be in the edit suite since the film look like it have be butcher ( im guess anything remotely scary end up on the cutting room floor so a not to scare the kid ) yet in pours the money from american send this film to number 1 at the box office . slasher movie be a lot of fun but in prom night case it make me want to download the original . i have see scary oc and dawson creek episode . | 0neg |
i be a big fan of the tv series largo winch . this movie be pain for me . i have to use fast forward not to fell to sleep . it be bore . how can somebody ruin this title so much . the story be the only good thing . actor be sh . t. they can not live the role . the main actor ( tom . ) be a null . watch the other role of this actor . the fight scene be unbelievable boring and not to followable and somehow they be not to follow the situation . like other reviewer say low budget film with bad actor . maybe next time somebody else can do good thing out of this title . french can not do right thing with big film and like alien 4. that be bit brrr and after alien 1 and 2 and 3 . | 0neg |
first of all and if your a fan of the comic and well and you will be very disappointed i be sure . low budget movie . largo be suppose to be serbian in the comic and now suddenly he become croatian and pfff . chicken producer and it give some spice and gut to the comic ( by the way and in the film and his father speaks serbian and he speak croatian . lol ) . the striking n. y. winch build become a common average small yacht in h. k. the good look largo become some unshaved tzigan or turkish look guy . freddy the cool carface pilot become some fat and out of shape and sad and average guy . simon and largo good buddy and do not exist at all . he give some pepper . largo doesn not throw knife at all and but just some snake stare . the whole story be confuse and look like a pretentious tv film . french director and producer and if you do not have the money and the ability or the technology to adapt correctly the comic and please stick to some romance shoot in paris . very very bad film and good thing i just rent it and do not count on me to watch the sequel ( if there be any . ) . | 0neg |
in my knowledge and largo winch be a famous belgium comic ( never read ) tell the adventure of a playboy and a sort of james bond without the spy life . so and when i have to choose a movie for a 5 year old kid and i pick it up because the kid be already a great fan of james bond . but and just after the opening credit and i get heavy doubt represent when american movie offer amazing start and here and no action and a torrid sex scene then and the story get very complicate with financial move i think i lose the kid . but and strangely and he have be catch by largo and and more than james bond . be it the excellent interpretation of tomer sisley . the difficult relationship largo have with his father . the multiple box story in which the friend be the bad guy and the bad guy be the friend . the exotic location of honk kong and yougoslavia . dunno and but he really care about largo ( will he get up . ) and we enjoy our moment . | 0neg |
chilly and alienate adaptation of rebecca west book about an army captain return from duty in wwii with his memory impaired ( now there an original idea . ) . it seem he remember old flame glenda jackson but not current wife julie christie and which should be enough to set off some emotional spark . this extremely well cast soaper bring together leading man alan bat with director alan bridge and co star jackson and christie and ann margret and and ian holm and but the burner be all on low . there be a handful of good scene ( particularly whenever jackson be on screen ) and but bridge pace be unrelievedly sluggish and the film dull out color be enervate . long on the shelf and this soldier be best left forgotten . half from . | 0neg |
but cinderella get my vote and not only for the bad of disney princess movie and but for the bad movie the company make during walt lifetime . the music be genuinely pretty and and the story deserve to be call classic . what fail in this movie be the character and particularly the title character and who could only be call the heroine in the loose sense of the term . after a brief prologue and the audience be introduce to cinderella . she be wake up in the morning and sing a dream be a wish your heart make . this establish her a an idealist ( and thus deserving of our sympathy ) . unfortunately and the script give u no clue a to what she be dream about . freedom from her servant role . the respect of her step family . someone to talk to besides mouse and bird . in one song ( cut from the movie but present in the special feature section of the late dvd ) cinderella relate her wish that there could be many of her so she could do her work more efficiently . you go girlfriend . in short and cinderella be a very bland character . she passively accept her step family abuse and escape into her unspoken dream for relief . she only assert herself once by remind her stepmother that she be still a member of the family . for this and she be give permission to go the ball if she complete her housework and find something to wear and a token gesture that be clearly absurd to everyone except and of course and cinderella . can anyone see belle or jasmine be such a doormat . if cinderella be dull and her male counterpart be nothing short of lifeless . the prince in cinderella get no dialog and almost no screen time . we be give no indication if he be a good man and if he respect cinderella or anything . all we know be 1 ) he be a prince and 2 ) he dance well . heck and even the prince from snow white get to sing a romantic song at least . not only do this lack of development make the romance less interesting and it make cinderella look like either a social climber or an idiot and weaken her already tenuous appeal . perhaps realize how dull the main character be and the animator choose to give excessive screen time to the movie comic relief and cinderella friend and the mouse . grant and these character be amuse . even so and when the comic relief steal the show from the principal and well and let just say your story have some problem . dinsey love to proclaim all it animated feature a masterpiece . while many of them be and there be some that do not deserve this appellate in any way . cinderella be a prime example of this fact . | 0neg |
just saw it yesterday in the sao paulo intl film festival . just before go i come here to see how it be rat and and at that time it be 7 . 4 and a pretty nice rate . after 15 minute i be die to get out ( never do this ) and but felt embarrass to do so a the producer of the movie be in the screening . i do not like at all and the dialog be shallow and lead nowhere and the character be shallow than the dialog and nothing lead anywhere and and the bad and bad represent plenty of siemens and organic advertise on the movie . despite the fact that i already pay to go to the movie and entertain myself and i still have to be bombard by the main character chat on the internet and siemens mobile pop up all the time on her lap top while or another character have a bath or cut her hair just to have organic shampoo display enormously on the screen . all of this would be bearable if the plot and character and romance and anything be good and but be bad and really bad . a do not know how to do sex in the city . don not waste your time or money . | 0neg |
when i buy this dvd i though represent it seem to be a nice light comedy about love and relationship make up in portuguese standard let give it a chance i be totally wrong . what a disappointing movie . first and it not a comedy while it a cheap drama which can be so melodramatic that it even bad than many portuguese soap opera . second and the plot be so boring and and lead nowhere it have no structure and it just flow and like the wind and in one or another direction the production be also bad . the sound mixing be horrible and because sometimes the voice be disconnect . it make me remind some old portuguese movie from the 80 the acting should have be good too well and to sum up and it not with film like this one that portuguese cinema will improve . in fact and it be one of the bad portuguese movie i have see in the last year . bad argument and bad acting and bad production i have no high hope for this movie and but it be much bad than i have ever imagine . just forget about it . | 0neg |
( i will indicate in this review the point where spoiler begin . ) my dissatisfaction be split represent 30 % tone deafness and 70 % lackluster writing . the 30 % represent i agree with the first commenter synopsis about the lack of diversity in the character and scope of the story . i be surprised how and this film and at best and woefully shortchanges the real nyc by present a collection of people and relationship so narrow a to come across a if it inhabit only by the cast of gossip girl ( this be come from someone who like gossip girl ) . a few minority character be write into the story and but they be include by obligation and while we can see the gear under the film so clearly and strive to be diverse but fall ever so short . the 70 % be why everything fall short . all character and white plus a few token minority and be one dimensional and cardboard cutout of people concept . bad and their interaction with each other be script in such a way that for each vignette in the film the audience be treat to what i would say be a gag represent we get a basic conceit and then some punchline intend to be a clever twist . but even if we suspend cynicism for a moment to say and okay and that be a surprise . the story be still not that interest and because they and too and be shallow . when you fashion story so that their existence hinge solely on the unexpectedness of the end and youre writing joke . spoiler below . the movie primarily try to tell romantic story . that fine . but romance be amazing and deep and sometimes complex . these romantic story each feature a girl and a boy who at some point share the same location and get to look at each other . word exchange and thought be project through voice over and but they too only manage to communicate to the audience merely that one person be attract to another . meaning and there be no seduction ( in the broad sense ) and no tension and and neither confrontation nor communion between the will of two different people try to reconcile their existence to accommodate the other . the only story involve a superficial seduction be tell just so the audience end up be surprise that the guy ( ethan hawke ) get outwit by the girl he hit on and who unexpectedly turn out to be a hooker . sure and his word when try to pick her up be interest to hear and we be amuse a we would be if we be next to them and but there be nothing of substance to this story outside of a then b. so it unfold and if something like a postcard could unfold and with all the other tale a well represent a then b that it and the only point be that these happen to occur on set in manhattan . by the way and the only brooklyn we see be the coney island sketch while the only queen be the flickering of a train ride take by a character travel to the west village . it easy to pick at movie that play into all the common stereotype of race and gender and sexual orientation and and so on . _new york and i love you_ and however and deserve to be hold to stricter scrutiny because of it title . we expect to see the real new york and and real new yorkers and but instead we have parade before u the select slice of a demographic and it character fly in from the o. c. and plus a few others to make it seem a if we be pay attention to diversity . but when we look close at who those character be and the whole sham become an affront to the very notion of diversity and the ethnicity and culture the movie shamefully fail to represent . for example and the story with the latino man with the little white girl in the park and who get mistake by two lady a her manny ( male nanny ) when in fact he the father . notwithstanding the last scene of this part be unnecessary from a dramatic construction point of view ( it would have be far more interesting to end it when the mother and boyfriend or stepfather be strut the girl away ) and it be frankly a bit disgust that the scene where we learn for sure that the girl father be latino also must inform u that he be a sexually desirable dancer . what and the dad can not be just some guy from south america . now that he obviously hot and be the audience well prepare to accept that he have a kid with a middle to upper class white woman . be we that naive a to require such . a if a mexican construction worker would obviously be too unpalatable . it not my place to dictate where the movie should have go . but in every conceivable set up and plot twist and the direction take screams status quo and appeal to safety . all these story could have be make more interesting and even if we be force to keep the single dimensionality of the character inhabit them and at the very least by not choose from standard and obvious stereotype . asian girl living in chinatown be leer at by a scraggly old white guy . how bout an asian cougar pursue a white college kid instead . again and i be not say the entire conceit have to be change . it just that every . damn . story premise . be so hackneyed and thus they fail to convey anything about why one might love new york and outside the trite . the real way to have improve the film would be to have write a script worth read . i will concede the pleasantness of the soundtrack and the good pacing of the movie ( even if what be be pace be and well and dredge ) and and the general feel of many of the scene . the movie be just fine to sit through and and i wouldn not dissuade anyone from do so . however and it be tell that the most significant homage pay to non superficiality be when the old opera singer say ( paraphrase ) that what i love about new york represent everyone from a different place . well and you wouldn not know it from watch this one . | 0neg |
have love paris and je taime and i highly anticipate this film and i admit i go in with high expectation and but be sorely disappointed for a number of reason . although and i be not expect a re make of paris in new york i be expect the same structure . what i like about paris be the breakup of the neighborhood . you get a sense of each director style and the story they want to tell . in ny and there be no clear separation of the story and at different point in the film and character from different story run into each other which make me confuse a to who i be watch and what exactly be go on . also and the switch in directing be evident but confuse since there be no flow . another thing i love about the paris film be the different take on love . it wasn not all romantic . there be love between parent and their child and unrequited love and a lonely and middle age woman yearn for love etc . and it explore so many layer of the complexity of love between human . ny seem to only go for an edgy and over the top sexuality . there be some redeemable short ( the old couple have spend a lifetime together and julie christie short ) and but overall theny film do not evoke any emotion for me . i do not connect with any of the character like i do with paris . i remember watch paris and feel a deep sadness and loneliness and yearning and hopefulness and wonder . it just have so much soul . for me and there be no soul in the ny film . maybe if i have go into it without have paris loom in the back of my brain a a comparison this film might have elicit a more favorable response and but a a self title re take of paris and je taime i be sorely disappointed . | 0neg |
i saw this regurgitate pile of vignette tonight at a preview screening and i be straight up blow away by how bad it be . first off and the film practically flaunt it gaping blind spot . there be no black or gay new yorkers in love . or who and say and know the self involve white people in love . i know it not the love crash of anvil tastic inclusiveness but you can not pretend to have a cinematic new york with out these fairly prevalent member of society . plus and you know the people who produce this ish thought crash deserve that ham hand oscar and so where be everyone . possibly bad than the bizarre and willful socioeconomic ignorance be the down right offensive chapter ( remember when you be in high school and people be openly disgust with pretty young woman in wheelchair . me either ) . this movie run the gamut of way to be the bad . bad acting and bad writing and bad direct all span every possible genre ever to concern wealthy white people who smoke cigarette outside fancy restaurant . but thank god they finally get powerhouse hayden christensen and rachel bilson back together for that jumper reunion . and and side note and uma dodge a bullet while ethan hawke look ravage . this and of course and be one thing in term of his look and but add an incredibly creepy extra vibe of horribleness to his terrifyingly script scene opposite poor and lovely maggie q. i have a terrible time choose my least favorite scene for the end of film questionnaire and but it have to be the anton yelchin or olivia thirlby bit for the sheer lack of taste and which sadden me because i really like those two actor . i do not consider myself easily offend and but all i could do be scoff and look around with disgust like someone 50 year old aunt . a close second place in this incredibly tight contest of terrible thing be shia labeouf tone deaf portrayal of what it mean for a former disney channel star to act against julie christie . i do not mean opposite and i mean against . against be the only explanation . i realize now that the early sequence with orlando bloom be a relative highlight . highlight . please keep that in mind when your brain begin to leak out your ear soon after the opening credit and which seem to be a nod to the first new york real world . this film be embarrass and strangely dated and inarticulate and ineffective and pretentious and and in the end and completely divorce from any real idea of new york at all . ( the extra star be for the cloris leachman or eli wallach sequence and a it be actually quite sweet and but it be only one bright spot in what feel like hour of pointless and masturbatory torment . ) . | 0neg |
i have never be to paris and but after see paris and je taime i be crazy to visit this city . i have be to ny several time and i love the city and it borough . i kinda expect to be touch by this film and to feel like jump into a plane and fly there right away and but and lo and behold and i regret the time and money i spend with it . there be no love stories between people or a person and the city . there a lot of dysfunctional meeting and relation or people who know each other and it just doesn not work out fine . maybe this reflect a characteristic of the city and where it say to have thousand of people live on their own . can not you find love in new york . | 0neg |
this be a movie i could not wait to see . so i finally get it and i be pretty disappointed . for starter and the movie have so little say about new york and just a bunch of confuse shot of building and street and bridge and cafe . it really doesn not stay focus on the new york magic . another thing that change my mind be the french movie set inside this movie . i know that it be a remake and but it be not a french style remake . anyway and here you will notice element that remind you of french movie and such a long and messy scene and no or little talk and of course everyone be smoke french style . the story follow many life ( too many for my taste ) and they somehow seem connect in the end . i feel like there be no dedication to the character as much a there be on the story . the movie be too short to cover every single destiny everyone happy end . so we can see about 30 people for about 5 minute each . and there you have your 120 minute . if you like active scene dialogue and stuff this be not the movie for you . i give it 4 just because i love new york and i love the cast . | 0neg |
follow the success of paris and je taime and a group of director decide to get together and make a similar anthology style film base in new york . unlike the original film and the story in this film seem to sometimes come and go too quickly by the time you think be get into a story and it over in too many case . and and the often start up and stop and then begin again with the story weave together . a a result and there be no title to indicate that a story be complete and it be less formal in structure . sadly and however and while paris and je taime be hit or miss ( mostly hit ) and most of new york and i love you be miss . the story tend to be much more sexual in nature but also far less sweet and often quite terrible . it be an amazingly dull and uninteresting film with only a few exceptional story and perhaps the often depressing music make it seem more so . now understand and it be good quality music but it somber tone really and really make me feel like cut my wrist . among the good one be the story about the young man who take a girl in a wheelchair to prom and the couple talk about cheat outside a restaurant ( though this be also in the first film ) and the crotchety old couple . this be all so sad because i have love the first film so much and i really want to love this film . i respect what they try but simply do not like it very much . by the way and and this be not really a complaint and but i be amaze how many people be smoke in the film . for a recent film and that be unusual in our more anti smoking culture . also and if you get the dvd and there be two segment include a extra that be not include in the film . one consist of kevin bacon ( wear a cool fedora ) eat a hotdog . and absolutely nothing more for almost ten minute . the other feature a teen who spend the film videotape the world include a very unhappy couple . | 0neg |
a few year back the same person who create paris and jtaime . and which be imperfect but very enjoyable ( my rating be a 7 ) and create this piece of garbage about new york city . in paris and i love you ( jtaime ) create a feeling for paris and it be make in many part of beautiful paris . in this current film and i do not recognize new york city and i do not feel that i be in the city of my birth . new york do have 5 borough and i saw no scene in the bronx and or queen and there be one scene in brooklyn and ( brighton beach ) and i saw no scene in time square or greenwich village or no scene of the beautiful hotel or theatre . it do have a large cast and most of the performer be not even stereotype and they be caricature of the low sort . the very few humorous moment be all of a course sexual nature or quite insulting to the many fine new yorkers that we all know and love . a few of the film nominate for the razzie award be far good . rating represent ( out of 4 ) 20 point ( out of 100 ) imdb 1 ( out of 10 ) in my way of think i think the title should have beennew york and i hate you . | 0neg |
an anthology be always risky business and i think this endeavor should be praise . there a lot of talent involve here . a great many talented actor and director and writer . unfortunately and i couldn not really enjoy this movie base on three issue i have . first of all and the segment vary incredibly in tone and quality . and unfortunately some of them clash with the others . secondly and several segment feel underdeveloped to me . like seed of good story that never come to fruition . i be not talk about happy ending here ( or even an end period ) but rather and they lack even basic development or even solid setup that draw you in . last but not least and i do not feel new york and it inhabitant be properly portray . what youre leave with be high brow short film that may still be of interest to some but will leave the average viewer unsatisfied . | 0neg |
new york and i love you and or rather should be title manhattan and i love look at your people in sometimes love and be a precise example of the difference between tell a story and tell a situation . case in point and look at two of the segment in the film and one where ethan hawke light a cigarette for a woman on a street and proceeds to chat her up with obnoxious sexy talk and and another with orlando bloom try to score a movie with an incredulous demand from his director to read two dostoyevsky book . while the latter isn not a great story by any stretch and it at least something that have a beginning and middle and end and a the composer try to score and get dostoyevky dump in his lap and and in the end get some help ( and maybe something more ) from a girl he be talk to a a liaison between him and the director . the ethan hawke scene and however and be like nothing and and feel like it and like a fluke add in or direct by a filmmaker phone it in ( or and for that matter and hawke with a combo of before sunrise and reality bite ) . what irksome about the film overall be see the few story that do work really well go up against the one or two possible tory and then the rest of the situation that unfold that be make to connect or overlap with one another ( i. e. bit involve bradley cooper and drea dematteo and hayden christensen and andy garcia and james caan and natalie portman and etc ) . it not even so much that the film set practically always in manhattan and not the new york of queen or staten island or the bronx ( not even and say and harlem or washington height ) lack a good deal of diversity and since there be some . it the lack of imagination that one found in spade and for good or bad and in paris jtaime . it mostly get little to do with new york and except for pass reference and and at it bad ( the julie christie or shia labeouf segment ) it incomprehensible on a level that be appal . so and basically and wait for tv and and do your best to dip in and out of the film in and that be and for three scene represent the aforementioned bloom or christina ricci segment which be charm while the brett ratner direct segment ( yes and x men 3 brett ratner ) with a very funny story of a teen take a girl in a wheelchair to the prom only to come upon a great big twist while and eli wallach and cloris leachman a an adorable quite old couple walk along in brooklyn on their 67th wedding anniversary . everything else can be miss and even natalie portman directorial debut and and the return of a hughes brother ( only one and allan ) to the screen . a mixed bag be put it lightly represent it like have to search through a bag of mixed nut full of crappy peanut to find the few almond leave . | 0neg |
the problem with this film be many and but i will try to mention the most glaring and bothersome one . first of all and while the theme suggest a number of vignette about manhattan life and the reality be that everything and a usual in movie and tv and be about something bizarre and usually of a sexual nature . the story line be thin or nonexistent and and virtually every scene and camera shot and line of dialog and and express emotion be absolutely and and totally fake . it finally reach a point after an hour of so of mind numbing garbage that i walk out ( something no uncommon for me in recent year . ) i would have guess the fi9lm be direct by some wannabe auteur drop out from some 3rd rate film study program and but i believe the ( at one time and pre amelia and talented ) director mira nair take part in this disgusting travesty and so perhaps the directorial talent in america have descend en masse into the cesspool . | 0neg |
there be a reason this go straight to video the story be smarmy and nick cage play johnny in a sleazy way sex in church and and other scene that border on tasteless ( like the scene in the laundry room ) taint this movie . judge reinhold a the cuckold be okay but the movie itself with it theme of degradation and revenge be not well do . but it be a good film for trivia contest because so few people saw it . | 0neg |
thanks to some infamous home video distributor who bring in the so called german independent series and four for venice be not only awful and but really awful . so awful and that i have it dump at the second hand good store for extra cash . nick and charlotte be a married couple who reach an agreement of have sex only on tuesday due to their hectic schedule of their profession . eva and luis be a pair of couple living from hand to mouth and where eva work a a waitress and luis and an artist . nick indirectly cause eva to lose her job a an waitress . luis and charlotte have an affair at the back of eva and nick . luis cheat on eva by lie to her that he would be fly off to london to do something relate to his artwork and but the fact be and he be fly off to venice with charlotte for an adultery holiday . eva kidnap nick and drag her 2 kid along to venice for confrontation . the trip to venice end up both nick and eva fall for one another . the presentation of the journey from germany to venice between nick and eva mark the failure of the comedy . it not only look senseless and but also draggy . in the film and nick try to seek help for several way and but it end to no avail . it be either the stranger around him who act like moron and or they be just simply dumb . the comedy also have the tendency to add in unnecessary scene to lengthen the story . while some of the problem that can be solve with common sense and no one in the film be use common sense to solve the problem . they prefer to go through one big round to solve the problem . it fail so bad and that even the beautiful scenery in venice fails to pull up the reputation of the film . | 0neg |
garson kanin write and direct this look at modern day las vega and the gap between generation and his first directorial effort since the 1940s . david janssen be somewhat miscast a a big shot casino owner who reunite with his son ( robert drivas and who look disconcertingly like an old jason bateman ) . janssen approach every scene the same way represent defensively and with a chip on his shoulder . play this role cool and lay back be ask too much from janssen and who bark at everyone like a grouchy put upon husband ( he even chew out don rickles and make him cry . ) . his son and a neer do well in search of his own identity and make hip comment about how young people look down on vega ( give them another ten year ) and and his disapproval of dad lifestyle cause friction . brenda vaccaro be cute a a self conscious secretary and edy willaims have a fun bit a a showgirl at an audition . unfortunately and where it at doesn not have much else go for it other than the now dated rumination on ethic between adult and their kid and some quick t and a shot and amusingly jade satirical bit on the high stake world of gamble most of which have be cover by now and ad nauseum . from . | 0neg |
cast bone to pick represent david jannsen be 38 play the father of robert drivas and who be then and 31 ( yeah and i realize he suppose to be just out of college and but clue in the script have him be a loafer and so he probably 24 25 in the script that still put jannsen in parent class in junior high ) . i assume the ama write medical miracle up in their 1938 year in medicine . this movie hasn not age very well at all and now it main appeal be just to see a snap shot of sin city and circa 1969 and all the incessant smoking and the weird hair ( drivas have an atomic comb over that make him resemble a well groom hip cousin it ) and trendy fashion that go along with it . if anyone remembers and lv wasn not exactly london . the city coddle the mob and codger gambler in those day . drivas come off a sexually ambiguous while his dad think he might be gay ( in a sad irony and drivas himself die of aid at 47 ) and the soapy conflict be from the generation gap issue ( ahem and a if one may call 7 year a gap ) . sonny boy want to be his own man and dad want to pull him into the casino ( caesar palace . ) and and ply him with girl ( include the horny for money edy williams ) . interestingly enough and the son doesn not seem to mind be think of a gay unusual for the time and a cute brenda vaccarro be nearby to swoon platonically over him . what nudity there be be awfully lame just what be need to pull the audience in for an r rating in the early day of the mpaa rating system ( which then be g m r [ 16 ] and x ) . the editing be horrible and there stupid silly overdubs by the committee ( a late 60 neo avante garde comedy troupe that mercifully fade off the map within a couple of year ) . don rickles be on board a a blackjack dealer . seemingly prepare him for a role a a floor manager in the much good casino two decade later . not to give anything away and but they would have dealt with mr. rickles character with power tool and a hole in the desert back then . a curiosity at best and far from joshua logan usual caliber of work . do or dia . now go watch casino again . | 0neg |
i can only believe that garson kanin must have be two people . the one who write the brilliant a double life and the funny bear yesterday and co write such excellent screenplay a adam rib and pat and mike with his wife ruth gordon and then the one who write and or or direct such tiresome and sad drivel a bachelor mother and some kind of a nut and and this . the cast try and but the script be so tired and clichéd that even the effort of the always wonderful brenda vaccaro be defeat . the script sink to it nadir in the truly offensive sequence in which janssen character test drivas character to make sure he not gay . an ugly sequence and but sadly one which could easily play in a film today . ethnic joke be now totally verboten and but fag joke be still good and clean and family fun . | 0neg |
i be thrill to watch this movie expect it to be the sequel to the cult classic private lesson which portray the dream of any male teenager . private lesson ii have nothing to do with the title i mention . it just a regular soft core cinemax flick that would not make a change in your life . there just one hot sex scene in a rooftop but that it . i watch this a long time ago but believe me and this be just a regular boring soft core flick . the woman be hot but that not enough to rent or buy the movie . my advice be to watch this only if it air on cable . | 0neg |
up until the last 20 minute and i be think that this be possibly jackie chan bad movie ( exclude his pre 1978 work and which i be not familiar with ) . the final fight sequence change all that represent it be long and good and intense indeed and one of the highlight of chan career . but to get to it and you have to sit through a lot of comedy that might amuse five year old ( oh and look . someone throw a tomato at that guy face ) and endless football scene . not to mention the dubbing ( which include the line how can i turn it off . it not a tap watch to find out what it refer to ) . dragon lord be worth rent for the final fight alone and but the rest of the movie be only for jackie collector and and even then only for those who have already see at least 15 of his other movie .

when i sit down to watch this film i actually expect quite a bit and a the plot take on quite complex issue . use football a launch pad for the complication also be an interesting approach . still unfortunately and despite it bravery of deal with controversial issue a culture clash between muslim and western culture and add generation conflict and prejudice towards gay or lesbian and it let you down towards the resolution with a rather simplistic relief to all the suspense build up throughout the film . this lead me to the impression that the maker take on a little too big a task for themselves to tackle and attempt to be more profound then they manage to deal with . however and this do not mean that the film be directly bad and a it render of the conflict where quite believable and also amuse . the film succeed in be engaging and entertain in this matter and but a mention above the writer seem to have spin themselves a little too deep . this have lead to some quite unrealistic character behaviour towards the end to confront the surging conflict . by this drop the ball at a time where the maker could really have show brilliance take the film to another level of appreciation . even if the film do at no point really attempt to be a profound piece of drama and the setting have so much potential in the plot it become a disappointment when the ball drop . this way the film move from be a good and reflected comedy to a standard cliché that become ridiculous in it happy end . nothing be leave out in the hollywood like end . so even if the story be engage and one can stomach the large amount of montage and one can not help but roll eye towards the resolution . personally i be close to shout finish already . at the screen . there be some decent acting in the film and and the two young female central character have some good moment . so do their parent and other bi character . however the handsome irish coach be an embarrassing piece of act and that let the film down quite a bit in term of realism . he do not even appear very likable and but rather self involve despite his good deed and which make the impending conflict between the girl seem a little strained . i give the film a 4 and a it be an engaging story and they seek out a nice perspective to approach the subject from . the script and cast have many good believable character and give the audience a chance to recognise either themselves or others . have the let down not be this disappointing and i would easily give the film a 7 or 8. if you enjoy this film and i would recommend the film east be east and which i think be an a good and if not well rendering of cultural conflict and as well a be amuse and engage . | 0neg |
long and boring and blasphemous . never have i be so glad to see end credit roll . | 0neg |
an executive and very successful in his professional life but very unable in his familiar life and meet a boy with down syndrome and escape from a residence . both character feel very alone and and the apparently less intelligent one will show to the executive the beauty of the small thing in life . with this argument and the somehow amelie like atmosphere and the sentimental music and i do not expect but a moralistic disgusting movie . anyway and a there be some interesting scene ( the boy be sometimes quite a violent guy ) and and the interpretation of both actor and daniel auteil and pasqal duquenne and be very good and i decide to go on watch the movie . the french cinema and in general and have the ability of show something that seem quite much to life and oppose to the more stereotyped american cinema . but and because of that and it be much more disappointing to see after the absurd end and with the impossible death of the boy and the charm tone and the happiness of the executive family and the cheap moral and the unbearable laughter of the daughter and the guy wave from heaven a michael landon . really nasty and in my humble opinion . | 0neg |
first of all and i be expect cage heat to be along the same line a ilsa and the wicked warden . boy and be i wrong . in no way be this film 70 exploitation and chix in chain and or woman in prison . sure and the plot consist of a bunch of woman in prison and who wear street clothes btw ( quite comical ) and but nothing happens . there aren not strong rivalry and no one try to seduce the warden or doctor in order to try and escape and and no inmate make out . there be 2 shower scene and that i suspect be just recycle footage and but no fight break out or no one be seduce here or anywhere for that matter . aside from the lack of plot and unconvincing and unsympathetic and and flat character and a couple of inmate that do manage to escape actually return to the prison in order to free their fellow inmate . puh lease and the movie should have just end off with the escapee rid off into the sunset . a oppose to let this mess continue . i feel scammed . | 0neg |
nicholas walker be paul and the local town reverand who marry to martha ( ally sheedy ) and but also be a habitual womanizer and decides to fake his own death to run away with his current affair and veronica ( dara tomanovich ) . however in so do and he get a bout of amnesia ( hence the name of the film ) . sally kirkland be also on hand a a crazy old coot who pin for the good reverand in a shade of misery type of way . it sad to see a pretty good cast waste like this . not the least bit john savage in a horridly forgettable role a a shoddy private investigator . in a film bill a a black comedy and one have to bring both element into say movie . while this do bring the former in spade and it sadly contain none of the latter . furthermore you can not emphasize with any of the character and a thus and have absolutely no vested interest in them . technically not an all together bad movie just an extremely forgettable one . eye candy represent dara tomanovich get topless while sally kirkland also show some skin my grade represent c where i saw it represent showtime showcase . | 0neg |
towards the end of this thriller ally sheedy gaunt latter day image be use creatively to make up more than one hauntingly evil image . she convince one that and if a nasty bette davis type role be to come her way and she could carry it off brilliantly . unfortunately and i can not find many other reason for see this . if you have wonder what sheedy look like in a pair of old fashion glass ( but why should anyone . ) then here your answer . for the rest and sally kirkland sex starve crazy woman be really tiresome and and even if you like this sort of thing more than i do you will have to admit that the tension sag badly during these scene . savage drunken brute of an insurance agent be equally distasteful but at least it a small role . of the leading actor and nicholas walker inspire no sympathy at all for paul keller plight and his acting be wooden . dara tomanovich be well and during her scene with sheedy the level rise a little . sheedy meticulous and understated performance ( though she often seem to be on automatic pilot ) be admirable in itself but out of context with the rest . the set be drab and the camera work undistinguished . | 0neg |
where to start . if this movie have be a dark comedy and i would say it be fannn tastic . unfortunately for me and and anyone else with free time and a buck to spare ( mind you that be the price i pay and get it from wal mart ) and this movie be mean to be a thriller . the only thrill i get be watch kirkland lousy rendition of anne wilkes from misery sans snowy woodland area . if you want a good laugh and on a rainy friday night with some friend and then i highly recommend this movie . but if you want to watch something at least half way decent and then do not even bother . i for one enjoy crappy film and the bad the good in most case . but wow . i mean wow . the only person in the entire film that do not stink it up be the little boy and play by vincent berry . the only reason why i even give it 3 star be because it give me something to do . | 0neg |
instead and go to the zoo and buy some peanut and fee em to the monkey . monkey be funny . people with amnesia who do not say much and just sit there with vacant eye be not all that funny . black comedy . there isn not a black person in it and and there isn not one funny thing in it either . walmart buy these thing up somehow and put them on their dollar rack . it label unrated . i think they take out the topless scene . they may have take out other stuff too and who know . all we know be that whatever they take out and isn not there any more . the acting seem ok to me . there a lot of unfathomables tho . it suppose to be a city . it suppose to be a big lake . if it so hot in the church people be fan themselves and why be they all wear coat . | 0neg |
i have quite high hope for this film and even though it get a bad review in the paper . i be extremely tolerant and and sit through the entire film . i felt quite sick by the end . although i be not in the least prude or particularly sensitive to tasteless cinema i thouroughly enjoy both woody allen everything you ever want to know about sex and . and michael hanneke funny game i find the director obsession with this ten year old wanting to drink woman milk totally sicken . and when the film climaxed in an orgy where the boy drink both his mother milk and as well a that of the woman he have be lust after for the whole film and i almost vomit with disgust for the total perversion and sentimental pap that it be . don not get me wrong and i enjoy the vast majority of european cinema and as well a independently make film and so this flick should have please me enormously . avoid this film at all cost and it should be relegate to the annals of history a a lesson in bad cinema . | 0neg |
plan b be strictly by the number fare except for one thing . i surprisingly find it to be rather insulting . jon cryer be the star of this film and play his usual and smarmy and egotistical and snotty character that be actually endear in pretty in pink and have not be amuse ever since . grate doesn not even begin to describe his performance . ricky ( mark matheisen ) be a muscular and blonde and struggle actor who ( gasp . ) be only worried about his hair and get lay . talk about a stock character . ugh . at least the other three character be somewhat engage . lisa darr and lance guest play a ground and optimistic and care couple who be struggle to conceive . since they be not whiny drama queen and however and their role be apparently consider boring and they aren not give enough screen time . sara mornell round out the cast by play gina and your usual nice and good look young woman who just can not seem to find the right partner in love . i have see this character a million time before but at least her performance overcome some of the shortfall cause by the predictability of her situation . what startle me about this film be it juvenile promotion of stereotype . they introduce a russian character for the sole purpose of mock him and make fun of the way he talk . he be portray a be wild and ignorant and amazingly shallow . they be just get warm up though for the usual nonsense about gay . gina decide to be gay for a while since she isn not have any luck with guy . honestly . that wasn not that bad except they really go overboard when gina bring a lesbian to a christmas party her friend be throw . her lesbian date have very short hair ( like i be sure all lesbian do ) . she also get quite upset ( like i be sure all lesbian do ) when gina have the nerve to put on lipstick ( . ) . finally and her date go around the party hit on just about every woman there and mouth off when gina express her disappointment . of course and we all know how gay people can not stay faithful for so much a a couple of hour much less month or even year and right . ( please note the sarcasm in that statement . thank you . ) this film be base on a tired and predictable premise to begin with but cryer unlikable performance combine with the idiotic stereotyping sink this movie to the low depth of cinema . negative . | 0neg |
i have the misfortune to sit through the full 102 minute of what and in my opinion and be this shockingly bad film . it fail on pretty much all level while the cast be awful and the acting ham at best and the plot lack any depth and leave me feel violently apathetic a to the outcome of any of the convoluted story line . plan b have none of the charm this genre have the scope to convey and i find myself physically cringe at the various point where the script make it regular misjudge meanderings anywhere towards the region of comedy . a bona fide saccharine coat turd of a movie . | 0neg |
even though there a repertoire of over 180 film to choose from and this succubus be often name a the best jess franco film . heck and even the legendary filmmaker fritz lang count succubus among his personal favorite . so and maybe it me but i think this be a dreadfully boring and overly confusing movie . the opening be great and though and and show janine reynaud perform an sm act on stage . it all downhill from here and unfortunately . reynaud character be a maneater who eventually kill her lover in some sort of trance . franco have a decent budget to work with and spend it well on nice location and beautiful photography and a mesmerizing musical score . this could have be his great film indeed and if it wasn not for the lame and uninteresting story . it suppose to be psychedelic but i would say sophomoric be a good term to describe what show here . half of the time and you do not have a clue what go on or what exactly be say so even the short running time of 80 minute seem to last age . this most certainly isn not franco best film accord to me . i wouldn not even recommend it to die hard exploitation fan . if youre look for more superior jess franco film and try to get your hand on la vampiras and the awful dr. orloff or female vampire . | 0neg |
