i have come to realise from watch euro horror and especially film make by cult luminary jess franco and that you can not expect a plot that make much sense . however and franco have go overboard with this film while and despite a surreal atmosphere and and the film reputation a one of the director best succubus be unfortunately be a truly awful film . i have get to admit that i saw the american cut version and which run at about 76 minute while but unless it be just the logic that be cut and i be sure the longer european version be just a boring . the plot have something to do with a woman maraud around while practice s and m and talk rubbish and and it all really boring . there no gore and the sex be dull and and most of the runtime be take up by bore dialogue and despite the fact that this be a short film while i have difficulty make it all the way to the end . i have to say that the location look good and franco have do a good job of use his surreal atmosphere while but the positive element end there . jess franco be definitely a talented director that have make some classic trash film but this look like it be one he make for the money and and overall i recommend skip it and see some of the director more interesting work . | 0neg |
succubus and the edited version of necronomicon geträumte sünden and be a struggle to sit through and even at a lean 76 minute while any more of this dreadfully boring and pretentious euro horror tripe and i may have slip into a coma . jess franco once again deliver a truly awful piece of 60 trash that appear to have be make by a cast and crew out of of their head on class a hallucinogenics and since not one second of this mess make any sense whatsoever . apparently and this be one of the good of his 180 plus film it hard to believe that there be bad effort out there . the unfathomable plot deal with franco usual theme of sex and violence and lesbianism and throw in a bit of s and m for good measure and and yet it still manage to remain mind numbingly tedious . i may leave it quite a while before enter the world of dodgy euro horror again life be too short to be spend watch bilge like this . | 0neg |
a disappointing film . the story establish our protagonist a chrissy and a young and rather sullen individual drifting and not do much . actually she do very little to move the narrative along so it do not surprise me to see the focus shift on her relative . it a pity though and chrissy seem like interest character . story be predictable and at time felt quite formulate . so the question now be and when be we go to see the campion and jackson and and the tamahori break ground with compelling and cinematically tell story that will inspire and rather than entertain for the toll of two hour . technically and a disgusting shot film . | 0neg |
kubrick meet king . it sound so promising back in the spring of 1980 and i remember . then the movie come out and and the kubrick cultist have be bicker with the king cultists ever since . the king cultist say stanley kubrick take a great horror tale and ruin it . the kubrick cultist do not give a damn about king story . they talk about steadicams and track shot and camera angle . this be a film and they insist represent it should be consider on it own . a it happen and both camp be correct . unfortunately . if one view it purely a an adaptation of king novel and the shining be indeed a failure and a wasted opportunity and a series of botched narrative gambit . i use to blame that on kubrick screenwriter . the writer diane johnson ( author of le marriage and laffaire and le divorce and etc . ) have a reputation a an novelist of social manner . maybe she be choose for her subtle grasp of conjugal relation or family dynamic . but the little blue collar town of sidewinder and colorado doesn not exist on any map in her francophile universe . kubrick the anglophile probably find her congenial and however . he and of course and be the real auteur . and consider on it own merit and his screenplay for the shining with it mishmash of abnormal psychology and rationalism and supernaturalism and and implied reincarnation just doesn not stand up to logical analysis . i be willing to consider kubrick shin on it own term . i be even willing to take it a something other than a conventional horror genre movie . but it doesn not succeed a a naturalistic study of isolation and alienation and and madness either . parse either way and the film pretty much fall apart . be the horror of the overlook hotel real . or do they exist only in the mind first a prescient nightmare suffer by little danny torrance and then a the hallucination of his father . one note how whenever jack torrance be see talk to a ghost he be in fact look into a mirror . one note how the hotel frozen topiary hedge maze appear to symbolize jack stunt and convolute psyche . very deep stuff . but if indeed the overlook ghost be purely manifestation of jack torrance grow insanity and then who exactly let the trapped jack out of the hotel kitchen dead bolt walk in closet and so that he can go on his climactic ax wield rampage . and can anyone explain and with a straight face and that black and white photograph ( helpfully label 1921 ) of nicholson a a tuxedoed party goer that pop up out of left field and onto a hotel ballroom wall during the film closing second . be we to seriously conclude that jack torrance bad craziness stem from a some sort of past life experience . ( and if you swallow that and since when be reincarnate people suppose to be exact physical replicas their past self . ) maybe kubrick do not care about his storyline . maybe only want to evoke a mood of horror . whatever the case and the film try to hedge it narrative bet to have it both way and rational and supernatural . a a result and the story be a mess . this movie hasn not improve with age and and it certainly doesn not improve with repeated viewing . i do not deny that a few moment of fear and claustrophobia and and general creepiness be scatter throughout this long and long film . but those gushing elevator o blood and see repeatedly in little danny vision and be absurd and laughable . and jack torrance infamous tag line ( wendy and i be home . and heeeeeere johnny . ) merely puncture the movie dramatic tension and dissipate it narrative energy . ( i know represent i sit in the theater and hear the audience laugh in comic relief represent whew . glad we do not have to take this stuff seriously . ) finally and kubrick be completely at sea or else utterly cynical during those scene in which wendy wanders around the empty hotel while her husband try to puree their son . a foyer full of mummified guest and all sit there dead in their party hat . yikes and now i really be afraid . give jack nicholson brilliance over the year and one can only assume that he give just the sort of eyeball rolling and eyebrow wiggling and scenery chomping performance that the director want . the performance of shelley duvall and a a sort of female version of don knotts in the ghost and mr. chicken and be best pass over in silence . this movie simply doesn not succeed not a an adaptation and not on it own term . it probably merit a negative and but i be give it a 1 because it have be so grotesquely over rat in this forum . | 0neg |
i catch this stink bomb of a movie recently on a cable channel and and be remind of how terrible i think it be in 1980 when first release . many reviewer out there aren not old enough to remember the enormous hype that surround this movie and the struggle between stanley kubrick and steven king . the enormously popular novel have legion of fan eager to see a supposed master director put this multi layer supernatural story on the screen . salem lot have already be ruin in the late 1970s a a tv mini series and direct by tobe hooper ( he of texas chainsaw massacre fame ) and be badly handle and turn the major villain of the book into a chiller theatre vampire with no real menace at all thus destroy the entire premise . fan hop that a director of kubrick stature would succeed where hooper have fail . it do not happen . sure and this movie look great and have a terrific opening sequence but after those few accomplishment and it all downhill . jack nicholson can not be anything but jack nicholson . he always crazy and do not bring anything to his role here . i do not care that many reviewer here think he all that in this clinker and the here johnny . bit notwithstanding . he just awful in this movie . so be everyone else and for that matter . scatman crothers character and dick halloran and be essential to the plot of the book and yet kubrick kill him off in one of the lame shock sequence ever put on film . i remember the audience in the theater i saw this at boo repeatedly during the last 45 minute of this wretched flick and those that stay that be . many leave . king book really never translate well to film since so much of the narrative occur internally to his character and and often metaphysically . kubrick jettison the tension between the living and the dead in favor of style here and the result mess end so far from the original material that we ultimately do not really care what happen to whom . this movie still stink and why so many think it a horror masterpiece be beyond me . | 0neg |
i hate this movie . it be nothing like the book and and just think about it make me mad . if you watch the movie before read the book and then yeah and it a good movie . but king book be amazing and this movie be nothing like it . i mean and the general meaning might be sort of similar but most aspect of the movie be completely different . the end for example . so in the book it be extremely intense and danny and wendy escape second before the hotel explodes . but in this horrible movie version jack like take them through a stupid maze . yeah and there be no maze in the book and there be no reason for it . another part that make me angry be that jack just kill mr. halloran . what the heck and he be basically the hero of the book and they just kill him off like he wasn not important . overall and it be just bad that the movie be so extremely off . | 0neg |
many king fan hate this because it depart from the book and but film be a different medium and book should change when they make the jump . that notwithstanding and the movie do fail completely and but it fail entirely on film term . i would like to smack the people who tell me it the scary movie ever make . i always follow up with the question really . exactly what scene scar you . every fan i have ask and go silent . occasionally someone and at a loss for a decent scare ( there be none . ) and name the grape juice shoot out of elevator shtick . if youre afraid of that and i do not know what to tell you and except maybe that youre easily scar . i just roll my eye watch these z grade horror idea play out in this schlocky and incoherent movie . one place it divert from the book and really be insipid be the tedious work the movie do to get mr halloran up to the overlook only to kill him while with the dumb member of the audience know that jack be wait behind one of the column in the corridor that it take halloran forever to walk down . really one of the stupid sequence ever put on film . oh and and nice choice for mr. halloran artwork stanley . black light afro nymphomaniac really add to the mood and character development of a horror movie . have there ever be a more off and out of place shot in any movie ever make . i consider it a miracle that i be eventually able to bypass this turd and and agree that kubrick 2001 be a truly important film and give the immense bad will generate by both this stupid and stupid movie and and the cult of fawn but inarticulate kubrick fan boy and who couldn not describe an idea at work in it with every film resource in the library of congress in front of them . toss in the grotesque overacting of jack nicholson and the introduction of dumb one liner at tense moment and and the razzie nominate performance of shelly duvall and you have a very crappy movie . | 0neg |
these writing write about the end of the plot so do not read it if you haven not see this rubbish . i find this rubbish film in the horror section which make me think it would be a horror . if i own a video store i would put it in the boring section . this film be so rubbish it will make you feel like you have lose your sock . this film contain endless shot of people drive a if that be scary . well i drive to work and back ( and sometimes to the store or to visit my cat ) almost every day and trust me it not scary . it even start with 20 minute of some people drive . even the little kid do it too . round and round he go and he never stop . what so scary about watch a little kid rid a bicycle for an hour . i think nothing and if you watch it you will not think so too . the family in the car arrive at a big castle and they be give a tour just walk around endlessly look at kitchen . then the man walk around a for an hour and try to kill his family for no reason . that all that happen and a you can see it rubbish . | 0neg |
not the best of the film to be watch nowadays . i read a lot of review about shin and be expect it to be very good . but this movie disappoint me . the sound and environment be good and but there be no story here . not be there a single moment of fright . i expect it to a horror thriller movie and but there be no horror no thriller . the only scene where i get scar be during the chapter change scene show wednesday . there be lot of fragment i the movie . most of the thing be leave unexplained with nothing to link it to anything . the story do not tell u about the woman or other scene that be show . might be a good movie to watch in the 80 and but not for the 21st century . | 0neg |
lady and gentleman and please do not get fool by a stanley kubrick film tag . this be a very bad film which unfortunately have be hail a one of the deadly horror film ever make . horror film should create such a fear that during night people should shiver their heart out while think about a true horror film . in shin and there be no real horror at all but what we find instead be just a naive and foolish attempt make to create chilling horror . everyone know a to how good the attempt be if they be different from reality . all that be good in the film be the view of the icy valley . the hotel where most of the actor be lodged appear good too . a word about the actor jack nicholson look like a lose and lazy soul who be never really sure of what he be suppose to do . there be not much to be say of a bald and colored actor who for the most of time be busy pamper a kid actor . no need to blame the bad weather for the tragedy . it can not be avoid a the film have be make and poor kubrick be not alive to make any change . | 0neg |
ok and honestly i dont see why everybody think this be so great . it really not . there be two good thing that come out of this movie 1. jack performance and he be very good i can tip my hat for him . 2. danny performance and he be good . no other then that it get pretty stupid . and and what be stanley kubrick think draft shelly a the wendy . she be so bad . she look the same every time she get scared . the problem with this movie be the end . i would have have more respect for it if kubrick would have end it differently . and and the over all movie be just stupid . the problem with the movie be that the book be so much good . so dont see the movie read the book and you will be much good off . negative . | 0neg |
i be go to keep this short . this adaption of the wonderful king book be a bad joke and nothing more . of course there be many kubrick and nickolson fan in this site and and a a result and this movie have mysteriously find it way in the top 250. jack nicholson be laughable a torrance and so be shelley duvall . the story and that have nothing to do with the book and be an incoherent mess and the character of jack and wendy torrance be complete joke . my advice to anyone that hasn not read the book and want to understand the character of this story representstick to the tv series . oh and and the people who be say that kubrick have every right to destroy the king story cause king be . not a good writer should stick to review masterpiece like eye wide shut . | 0neg |
after just finish the book the same day i watch the movie and i know what be suppose to happen . i have high expectation of the movie and because of the rating . the only reason i give this movie a negative star be that it be alright try to be a movie . i have a couple main point for not like this movie . spoiler 1. the casting . jack nicholson barely fit into jack torrence character . also and i would have never pick shelly duvall for wendy . i picture wendy much differently . i can see why they pick jack nicholson though and the grin and the pointy eyebrow and but he not suppose to really look evil . he suppose to look normal and and he turn evil . also and they make one of the bad movie couple . danny be alright and he need more life though . he act way to droney . 2. the screenplay . they cut out so many thing that be in the book and and add thing . some of the thing that be in the book that i be look forward to in the movie be either delete and change and or handle wrongly . some of the thing that be in the book that i be look forward to see ( the hedge animal and the roque mallet and the elevator ) be not in the movie and and it be 2 and half hour . i be extremely irritated . 3. the end . the end be change completly and halorann die and jack froze to death and wendy never get hurt . the overlook do not blow up . the end be so cool in the book and and the movie mess it up so horribly and i be apalled . hallorann be never suppose to die and but jack kill him with an ax . if they want to kill him and at least have jack use a roque mallet . you never even saw a roque mallet during the whole movie . there be other thing that i do not like about the movie and but there be thing that be all right . the camera angel be cool and the blood come out of the elevator ( do not happen in the book ) be cool and but maybe i be too irritated that the movie do not go with the book and to try to be scar at all . i reccomend read the book and before you see this movie . i applaud stephen king for actually agree to sign a contract to not dis stanley kubrik any more . i would never have do that and i would have take all the right i could get to yell at him all day . i can not wait to see the 6 hour version and at least it have the hedge animal . rating represent negative . | 0neg |
this have get to be the most stupid film i have ever see ( spoiler ahead ) . first of all and the plot be stupid . the little kid be weird and they move to a hotel because his father be the caretaker of it . we find that the kid have a gift and the shining . this gift never ever have anything to do with anything except to make the kid seem cool . then the movie get more boring and boring until the man finally go crazy . he go on a rampage to kill the kid and his wife because . well and he feel like it . why else would he do it . all of a sudden we see a naked woman in the tub . the man kiss her and realize he be kiss a dead corpse and which be utterly disgust . somehow a black man enter the hotel and be whack with an axe . then the kid and the woman take the black man vehicle and leave the father and who die within minute of hypothermia . most movie aren not a complete waste of time and but this fall right into that category . the music be trashy and the character be corny ( except jack nicholson and who be a good actor ) and the plot be twist and fit the description of vomit and the end be very predictable and the storyline be slow and tedious and and bore . this movie be extremely overrate . avoid this movie at all cost . i be surprise it get such a high rating on imdb . | 0neg |
one star . that all this documentary deserves . i haven not felt this disappoint in watch a movie and let alone a documentary and in quite some time . i be a big fan of the walking with . series and include it nigel marvin spin offs and for all their gleeful fun yet informative information . and although the subject of prehistoric man have never interest me nearly as much a other prehistoric creature and the subject be still interesting and unique to explore . have see all the other doc from the series and i figure i need to see this one as well and especially after see relatively good review in other place . well for those of you who put up a good review of this doc . what be you think . lol . though the information that they be able to get through be interesting and the presentation fail in every other way possible . it have a terrible flow and be incredibly unfocused in what it be try to say ( with information scramble and sometimes out of of place ) and horrible effect ( that include the few moment of cgi and especially the makeup effect ) and and overused mtv style camera effect . speaking of the makeup effect and one reviewer here mention how laughable the scene be when the caveman come across this giant ape and how it look a lot like a 70 man in suit horror movie . well there be plenty of moment just like that be the people portray the ape men look ridiculous and act ridiculous . none of this be help by horrible camera position and composition . the bad part of all be none of it be show in an interesting or dynamic way and or look remotely real . it doesn not even look like it be take seriously . it also lack any emotional punch that the predecessor of the series have . remember the episode in walk with dinosaur of the fate of the ornithochirus ( sp . ) . that episode still get me on the verge of tear every time i watch it . it this sort of engagement with the subject that lack here most of all . when you be more engaged in the subject and it own personal story and even one that be just speculation and you care more about the fact surround it . the only saving grace of this production be the fairly good narration ( at least in the bbc version i saw ) and the music . otherwise and do not bother even rent this one unless you want to have a good laugh ( which i do frequently and but usually follow by roll eye ) . this do not belong on the shelf with the other walking with . doc . and do it make sense to learn that this doc be not produce or directly involve with the same people who do the others in the series . hmmm . | 0neg |
ok and if youre look for another bastketball diary and this be completely the wrong film . i revolve around two brother . max and the younger and have a major cocaine addiction . adam and the eldest and be a doctor . this movie be suppose to show the plunge from reality to the extreme low that drug make possible . it however and do not . it show that cocaine can be fun no matter what the situation happen to be present . most of the movie focus be on max and his parting way . eventually adam and can no longer take the stress from his job and begin to use as well ( perscription drug ) . this movie have almost no climax . doesn not descend into what cocaine really do to you and have boring and low budget scene and and the acting of the eldest brother and adam and be horrific . i have no idea how this movie have manage to pass and receive award and it be not a heart wencher . if you want a clear and true story movie on the extreme world of drug rent and if not buy the basketball diary . and notice the difference . try to avoid this movie but and if you think you will enjoy . try and see for yourself . | 0neg |
the movie be about two brother that be suppose to be alike but be not in any way expect for be smart one be a surgeon and they other be able to write a computer code . genius a they like to call themselves which sound very exaggerated if you compare it to personal characteristic can you perceive from the material of the title . i honestly do not like the style of the movie . i believe that anxiety and confusion and deep blue it bring be there for a purpose and but what i do not get be why there be so much of it . the movie be cheap on scene and tell the story basically with no human aspect in it at all . it give the comic book like experience . however it visually numb the viewer and it somehow bring him inside the blue with brief dialog and monotonic scene and dynamic cut and music and abrupt noise . the movie storyline be very simple and most of what go on be be dramatically picture for long minute and mostly in confuse delirium simulate effect of drug use and dynamic cut . i will say openly that this movie do not meet my expetations a tiny bit . | 0neg |
this have to be and by far and the absolute bad movie i have see in the last 20 year . when i saw that michael madsen be in it i figure it couldn not be too bad a movie since he have be in some pretty decent film and and he be a pretty fair actor . wrong . no one should waste their time on this film . i fast forward through 80 percent of it and i do not feel that i miss a thing . | 0neg |
it be a pity that you can not vote zero star on imdb and because i would not have hesitate . in fact i would go so far a to say that this film be in the negative star . i and like many others and buy this film thinking that because it have michael madsen in it and it could be good . no chance . this film be shock . imagine a movie length the bold and the beautiful and well and primal instinct do not even come close to that good and and i have previously think that there would be nothing bad than a movie length the bold and the beautiful . michael madsen and how could you do this to u . the bad part be and i do not fast forward a bit and i be hop that at the end they would reveal that it be all some sort of sick joke and that they think it would be funny to make u watch such a horribly bad film . where do i start . direct zero star and screenplay zero star and act zero star and cinematography zero star and digital effect zero star and production design zero star and make up zero star and cast zero star and edit zero star and trailer half a star and graphic design half a star and dvd menu half a star . however i think that it be very important to have see bad film just so that you know what a really bad film be and so for that reason i be happy that i saw this film and just so that i have a bad film to put at the bottom of my list . | 0neg |
this have to be the bad movie i have see . madsen fan do not be draw into this like i be . he be only in it for a maximum of five minute . this movie be so bad that the only reason why you would watch it be if all the rest of the movie on earth as well a t. v. have be destroy . | 0neg |
a bdsm sub culture of los angeles serve a backdrop for this low budget and shabbily construct mess and plainly a vanity piece for it top bill player and celia xavier and who also produce and script while perform a dual role a twin sister vanessa and celia . a question soon develop a to whether or not some rather immoderate camera and lighting and edit pyrotechnic can ever reach a point of connection to a weak and often incoherent narrative that will not be take seriously by a sensate viewer . celia be employ a a highly motivated probation officer for the county of los angeles and while her evil natured twin have become an iconic figure within her fetishistic world largely because of erotic performance upon cd rom and but when disaster befalls mistress vanessa and virtuous celia and determine to unearth her sister vicious attacker and begin a new job a a sex slave at the private castle club where the specialty of the house be a dungeon party . two fbi field agent ( whose deployment to the vanessa case be ostensibly require due to her involvement with internet bdsm site ) and in addition to a los angeles police department homicide detective and be assign to investigate the crime and while endeavour to provide security for celia whose enthusiastic performance in her new vocation be avidly enough regarded by her customer a to have create condition of personal danger for her . flaw in logic and continuity abound and such a a homicide be allocate to l. a. p. d. operation south bureau and a region of the metropolis that be far remove from the setting of the film . direction be unfocused and not aid by erratic post production editing and sound reproduction . the mentioned photographic gymnastics culminate with a batty montage near the movie end of prior footage that be but tangentially referent to the scenario . one solid act turn appear among this slag represent stan abe a a zealous fbi agent . | 0neg |
this be not michael madsen fault and he be hardly in it . this movie be just awful . if you want to laugh and be bore and go ahead and watch this movie . word can not describe how idiotic it be . sorry michael . the cinematography be dark . all the other actor be unknowns . when watch it and it feel like a soft porn and but with no nudity or heat scene . this movie have sexual overtone and since it be about a underground s and m killer . the acting be bad and except michael madsen part . he look like he want to laugh . i hope he get pay well for this lousy movie . it be something i would not be proud of . it be not even a b movie for cable and it be more like a f and it should never be show and ever . | 0neg |
i just watch this film 15 minute ago and and i still have no idea what i just watch . mainly i think it a film about an internet s and m star of cd rom that be about as realistic a flash cartoon online . she murder by someone and which cause her sister and a crack team of 2 fbi agent to investigate the death . the local homicide division of big city and usa be also investigate and though most of his work come by the way of oogling the cd rom which he claim be as realistic a the real thing . i know . wow . michael madsen be the only one in the film that have any kind of credit behind him . he in the film for about 15 minute and and half of that be him bang the main girl for seemingly no apparent reason . i would not even explain the end and because quite frankly i can not make it out myself . but before the final scene and be treat to a 3 or 4 minute montage of everything in the film . honestly and they could have ran that then the final scene and it would have be the same effect with the cross eye direction and all . all in all and stay away from this film . i get it because i love bad movie and i love michael madsen . i really could have use that 80 some minute on something else and have be more satisfied . like and play that game with a knife where you jab at your hand repeatedly . that for 80 minute would be much more entertaining . | 0neg |
i agree totally with the last commenter this could be the bad movie ever make . i too have to fast forward through most of this movie . michael madsen must have do this movie a a favor to someone . the picture quality be grainy all the way through . and what little plot there be and be just plain stupid . i give this movie a negative if i could give it a low score i would . don not waste your time on this movie or you will regret it . | 0neg |
the only redeem part of this movie be the price i pay . at least all i lose be $ 3 . 00 and the time elapse sit through this bomb . the crew member who be in charge of continuity miss the boat . when the female lead and the fbi guy go to the allege killer location and mr. fbi hand the female a revolver . when the allege killer come out the door and the revolver have magically transform into an automatic . one be leave to ponder would an fbp agent hand a weapon to a civilian . i think not . ms. xavier appear to be a very attractive female . it be too bad the r rating do not allow much of her to be see . it would seem that a film editor cut what might have be the best part of the film out . | 0neg |
[ contain spoiler . ] timon and pumbaa be watch the lion king . timon decide to go back before the beginning and to when the story really begin . so they go back . way back . back even before simba be bear . back to timon old home which be mile away from pride rock . a clan of meerkat burrow underground to hide from hyena . the bad digger in the clan be a pompous and self center meerkat name timon . his mother take pity on him but uncle max just shake his head . mother suggest put timon on sentry duty while timon have dream of a big and good place out there somewhere . just then and hyenas shenzi and bonzai and ed arrive and nearly kill poor uncle max . that do it . the other meerkat just want timon to go away while timon take it upon himself to leave . so he kiss his mom goodbye and start off . he do not get very far before he start get homesick . just then he meet rafiki and who teach him to look beyond what he see . timon have no clue what that mean so he continue on and meet a warthog name pumbaa and who be all alone due to a flatulence problem . timon and pumbaa join up then and but timon declare them acquaintance and rather than friend . they soon arrive at pride rock where all the zebra and antelope and wildebeest and rhinoceros and giraffe and elephant and many other plain animal have gather . what be go on . timon do not care . they press on . timon then saw rafiki atop pride rock lift into the air something he couldn not see . just then all the animal take a bow . be this to honor the birth of the new king . no and pumbaa have pass gas and the animal be bow to cover their nose while timon and pumbaa try an assortment of new home and but each be discomforting due to incessant singing or hyena or a large stampede of wildebeest . pumbaa and timon suddenly find themselves head down stream . when they reach land and timon decides to give up . but then they gaze around at their newfound paradise . it be beautiful represent tree and water fall as far a the eye could see . timon name the place after a strange phrase he learn from rafiki represent hakuna matata . timon and pumbaa go out bowling for buzzard one afternoon when they suddenly run into simba . they take him under their wing and become father figure . they teach him the art of bug eating and belching contest . pretty soon and a teenage simba take on timon in a snail slurp contest . simba win and leave timon deathly ill. then one day and simba childhood friend nala arrive . timon and pumbaa just know she would break up the friendship . suddenly and simba run away . nala and pumbaa race after him and but not timon . he choose to stay at hakuna matata by himself and until rafiki talk some sense into him and so he join his friend at pride rock . timon mother and uncle max arrive then . while simba battle scar and mother and max dig a large hole to trap hyena shenzi and bonzai and ed in . it work . scar be soon flung down the same hole where he be devour by the hyena . then all be well . mother and uncle max and the rest of the meerkat go live with timon and pumbaa in the paradise that be hakuna matata . back to the present and timon and pumbaa finish the movie when suddenly mother and uncle max and simba and rafiki want to watch it again . so do mickey mouse and donald duck and goofy and snow white and the seven dwarf and dumbo and peter pan and the lose boy and mad hatter and march hare and genie and aladdin and and jasmine . well and i must say that the lion king 1 half wasn not as good a i have hop . it be too ridiculous and silly . the original lion king be a masterpiece . it have a serious story with light comedy throw in . this one be just silly and make a mockery of it . i swear and sometimes timon and pumbaa be just way too overplayed . theyre overplay to the point of no longer be funny and just annoy . the original voice cast be back represent nathan lane a timon and ernie sabella a pumbaa and matthew broddrick a adult simba and whoopi goldberg a shenzi and cheech marin a bonzai and jim cummings a ed and robert guillame a rafiki . new to the cast be julie kavner of tv ( too ) long run series the simpson a timon mom and jerry stiller a uncle max . so anyway and this movie isn not the lion king iii and and it isn not ii because there already be a ii . it take place right after part i and part ii be a way away . hence and it 1 half . in conclusion and i do not recommend this to die hard lion king fan because it far too ridiculous and frivilous . however the kid will love it so i recommend it to them . i hope this will also be the last lion king movie . two be enough . the lion king 1 half . what we have come to expect from disney sequel maker . . | 0neg |
i saw and like the first two a lot and really . especially because the second be not just a try to make another one as good a the first . and it a story stand alone . you do not have to know the first movie . i like that in the free willy movie and too . but . the third and here be absolutely useless . i try it with a friend of mine and because we both like the first two . we decide to stop after a good half an hour . the movie be okay and there be funny part in it alright . but what for . timon and pumba be funny creature in the first two movie . what lion king 1 half be for me be represent a hard attempt to get even more fun of the first movie than it have already and plus tell the story from their point of view . but what for . i would really like to know . you know and the idea of the two of them sit in the cinema watch the first one and be really nice . but what come after be mostly unnecessary . i guess many people like timon and pumba and and so do i really . yet and for me many part be very construct with a try to be funny . no chance and most of it wasn not funny at all and at least for me . btw . what be the movie about anyway . be it a ) about timon and pumba or b ) an attempt to get more fun out of the first movie . i tend to choose option b and i be very disappointed about it . if you like to see story like represent the story behind xy and you should see rosencrantz and guildenstern be dead by tom stoppard with tim roth and gary oldman . that really funny and no try to get more out of hamlet then it have . | 0neg |
a dedicated fan to the tlk movie and with the first one be a milestone and the second probably the best sequel disney have produce and along come this film . now i be not argue with animation and voice work and music and but this be no more than a timon or pumbaa screwloose in the tlk atmosphere . although it isn not bad and it doesn not add anything . basically this movie be one big joke . and that about all that save it . make a real tlk3 and disney . the potential be there . 4/10 . | 0neg |
have watch both the lion king and lion king ii and enjoy both thoroughly . i thought lion king 1 . 5 might be worth watch . what a disappointment . disney must be get desperate for revenue . especially now that they lose the deal with pixar . basically and they just pick up some bit of footage that be leave on the editor floor ( or garbage can ) and glue them together to make aquick buck . unlike lk i and ii and both of which have strong story line . this movie hardly have a story at all . while the character and animation be always fun to look at and there be simply not enough material here for a movie . some of the bit could have be good 2nd disk filler on the original offering . disney shame on you for put this trash out to make a quick buck . next time take the time and effort and put our an enduring work . | 0neg |
i find this to be an utter waste of time and effort and money . i know disney always display lack of creativity when make straight to video film but rehash the plot of the original film with a new perspective be an all time low . soon they will just be re release the original film with new animation and new song and be call it a new version of the movie we all love . nathan lane surprisingly return to his role of timon yet again . timon and pumbaa the animated animal from the world of the original lion king embark on a narrative journey to tell u the original story the way it really happen . a they see it . of course timon be now the hero of the story and yadda yadda yadda and blah blah blah . the musical sequence be lame and the animation be crap . the vocal talent be impressive for a video feature and but then again and when be the last time you remember matthew broderick and whoopi goldberg or nathan lane be in anything of real commercial substance . overall if you like the original you will hate this . it insult because it unfair to child and adult alike . and that about sum it up . | 0neg |
there really wasn not much of a story in this film . it loosely base itself off the event in the first lion king movie . it be suppose to be how timon and pumbaa met via their aloneness . but there isn not much more than that . it mix some scene from the original and then it ab libs about how this movie change them a little bit . but still and be that it . i be hop for something a little more . instead and all i have to show for it be an empty plot with little explanation . i guess if you want to see other meerkat in the lion king universe and then this be it . but other than that and it do little justice for the animator . disney really should stop these direct to video production . it really be quite boring and could have use jason statham . d . | 0neg |
i give this film it prop that it be very well make and reasonably well act . but i couldn not get past the implausibility of the whole thing . first and foremost and a game build around the notion of russian roulette that have to fill on hour . the big problem be that if you be do a live show and you run the possibility that your first contestant will be the one unlucky enough to draw the real bullet . then what do you do . you have 50 minute of show to fill and nothing to show . the corollary be that okay and you get to the end and the first five contestant survive and which mean number six have the bullet and can not possibly get the payout . he isn not go to shoot himself at that point and so it kind of anti climatic . second problem and almost a big . human nature . people be go to flinch and panic and soil their underwear and do thing that would otherwise not make very good television . too much randomness . that why real reality television be actually tightly script and even more tightly edit . ( the only random thing be the performance artist rant about female sacrifice and which be actually rare historically . even that be predictable and since she go through with shoot herself to no effect . ) we be lead to believe the show rating would increase while it be go on at 1 be in the morning ( unlikely ) with the token asian girl announce each boost in rating . a point on race and sex . big surprise the movie two minority ( one gay ) and two female contestant be the one who survive . so we be leave with the two white male and and of course and the slightly less likable of them be the one who buy it . the purpose of such a show would be it randomness and but the guy you like the least be the guy who die . the climax be that after spend two hour fight for televise suicide and the eva mendes character ( mendes produce and star in this thing and so she have no one to blame but herself ) actually grow a conscience when someone die . what do she think be go to happen . she be promptly shoot by a bystander angry about the whole thing ( motif never explain ) and the show go on to be a big hit . really . the problem with medium satire be that it have to either have some grounding in reality or it have to be so over the top to be ludicrous ( like network ) . this be neither . | 0neg |
live . yes and but not kick . true story represent some time ago and a dutch tv station make an announcement that they be go to air a new reality show . a contest rather . the main participant in this show would be a woman who be die of something terrible and she would be donate her kidney to one lucky person with progressive kidney failure . for real . the country and the international medium be all over this story like fly on a turd and say it be appal and immoral and what be this world come to and and the like . in a way and i have to agree . a the month pass and the tension build up to a degree that the government be mostly occupy by the issue of whether they should let this show go ahead or not and instead of run the country . the show do air and right up to the last moment they be push ahead . and up to the last moment the country be up in arm and the prime minister make speech and every newspaper write about it and everyone in the country hold their breath . and the network push on . towards a new frontier in television . and they definitely succeed in do just that . they push the envelope . the show air and we all watch a terminally ill woman select the right candidate to receive her kidney so he or she would live and whilst she would die shortly after . and then and in the last moment of the show it be reveal that it be a partial hoax . the woman be not ill and but all the candidate be . there be no kidney auction . the whole show and that and with the publicity and the commercial and all the discussion and build up for month to a fantastic climax and be a publicity stunt to focus attention on the problem of major shortage in organ donor . the man who found this particular network himself die of kidney disease . now this be television . leave everybody far behind in amazement . don not give me a poorly act and poorly direct flick about some woman try to get a russian roulette show on american tv . a if . spoiler a if i be go to believe they would get this through the fcc . a if i be go to believe this would get through the u supreme court on the basis of free expression . a if i be gon na believe the ridiculous end where this woman pull it off and have conscience issue because some guy shoot himself on air . it all be do before . watch run man with arnold instead . at least it have a semi good end . spoiler this be an appallingly bad piece of film and together with a ridiculous end . so she get shoot in the end and be that suppose to make u movie go public feel well after we leave the theater because there be some kind of justice . don not take my word for it and but i would say this represent leave this one alone and watch a test pattern instead and you will get more quality . | 0neg |
i really do not understand all these positive user review . this movie be the bad movie i have ever see and i be not try to be pessimistic . eva mendez be hot but terrible in this film . but i do not think it be her own fault but the director . he have somehow manage to make everything look artificial while their acting and the idea and the make up and everything . the star i be give be only for the idea behind the movie and which be very bad execute . don not watch this bullshit and go watch a fellini and woody allen or some david lynch . | 0neg |
i hear about this film and know it wasn not real good . but i start watch the film ( on my film channel ) and be interested . this could be a really great and darkly black satire on today moral in medium . the small featurettes on every contestent be good . it build up to something i wouldn not wan na miss . but when the so called show start everything becomes implausible and cheap and rather silly . here where the writer should have add something that would make people think . but instead it wrap up and assume people be this dumb . the end be so bad i give it a 1. even if the film start of promising . | 0neg |
let see . in the st. elsewhere finale we find out that there be no hospital and that every thing have be in the mind of an autistic child . newhart end by tell u that it have all be a dream . and roseanne end by tell u that it all have take place in her mind . very creative . annoy be more like it . yes and it be just a tv show and wasn not at all reality . it just that when you get catch up in a great movie or tv show you end up at least want to believe that it all real . at least as far a the reality it portray on screen . this type of series finale have be do twice before and be old hat and frustrating and simply not fun to watch . now newhart be all a dream . at least do in a creative way that far exceed the expectation of anyone who love the show . the idea itself be not too engage but it be so brilliantly do that it arguably the best series finale ever . roseanne leave me feel cheat after be such a loyal fan . | 0neg |
blaze saddle . it a fight between two estrange brother ( dennis quaid and arliss howard ) and both of whom can ignite fire mentally while they square off over childhood difference and with dippy love interest debra winger catch in the middle . director glenn gordon caron ( the tv whiz kid behind moonlight ) smother the darkly textured comedy in vince gilligan screenplay with a presentation so slick and the movie resemble an entry from an over enthusiastic film student on a fifteen million dollar grant . it have the prickly energy of a big commercial feature and but a shapeless style which bring out nothing from the character except their kooky eccentricity . these aren not even character and theyre plot function . barely release to theater and the film be a disaster and although strictly a an example of style over substance it do look good . winger be the only stand out in a cast which look truly perplexed . half from . | 0neg |
i love these actor and but they be waste in this flick . i can only wonder and what be they think agree to this crap . debra winger just phone it in while dennis quaid and arliss howard be caricature . some people think it be deep . well and if you like break the wave and you will probably like this too . i hat both . negative . | 0neg |
i can not believe they get the actor and actress of that caliber to do this movie . that all i have get to say the movie speaks for itself . | 0neg |
gene hackman get himself bust out of prison by a nameless government agency who want him for an assassination . it a give of course that hackman have the proficient skill for the job . nobody tell him anything though and he give a the audience be give bit and piece of information . that suppose to be suspenseful and instead it annoy and bore . hackman go through with the mission and but the getaway be mess up and the guy at the top of this mysterious entity order everybody dead to cover it up . so everyone in the cast dy and at the end you do not really care . one of the other reviewer point out that the film be originally twice a long and almost three hour and get chop down quite a bit . maybe something really be lose in the translation and but i tend to think it be a mercy act on the audience . a very talented cast that have people like richard widmark and candice bergen and mickey rooney and eli wallach and and edward albert be so thoroughly waste here it a crime . and we never do find out just what federal agency be do all this and the fbi and the cia and the dea or even the irs . | 0neg |
first and it take a full half hour to get hackman out of jail and to start do the job . what a waste of time and we all know hackman be get out to do some job for his master and why waste almost a third of the movie on these sequence . then hackman stay in a hotel and the story arc again go nowhere and simply prove to u that hackman be under close watch and anything he say or do be know by the master . again and another 20 minute . then more wasted time show the reunion with his wife . all of this should have take 10 15 minute at most simply a a set up for the real action and intrigue and plot twist . by the time the real action get go and i be so bored that i just want the movie to end . hackman be great a usual and and the other actor a well and but this be a dud of the first magnitude . | 0neg |
there be really two section of this film . firstly there the laughable prologue to the film which be so hysterical and cornball that it would almost feel appropriate that the the simpson troy mcclure should be do the narration . then the rest of the film begin ( start off with a title song which really doesn not fit in with the rest of the film ) which and while technically ok and be kill by a vague and inconsistent and unconvincing plot and not just uninteresting character and but character that make no sense . this be especially so with mickey rooney spiventa and who be supposedly in on the plot and part of the organisation the whole time yet what would have happen have hackman make the seemingly arbitrary decision to take him along when break out . in that case he would have be a totally superfluous and unnecessary character and which in the end he still be . the overall problem of the film be that it totally unwilling to put any detail on who or what be behind this conspiracy . it a if the filmmaker do not have the courage to imply that a particular section of society would be capable of create such an organisation and instead settle on the hope that a lack of explanation would suffice and the audience would form their own conclusion . put simply and the film fail on all level . | 0neg |
stanley kramer direct an action thriller and leave out two key thing represent action and thrill . the domino principle feature gene hackman a a convict sprung from prison in order to perform some mysterious task . richard widmark and edward albert and and eli wallach be his operative they presumably work for the government and but that and like most of the movie plot line and be never make clear . hackman ask a lot of question that never get answer so the film go absolutely nowhere . while it strive to be like night move and the parallax view and the domino principle mix up ambiguity and mystery with confusion and boredom . the film be extremely well photograph but even that work against it . kramer direction be devoid of any style . it a very sunny movie . the acting be fine with hackman prove he pretty much incapable of be bad . widmark and wallach be suitably nasty and albert be well cast a widmark cruel lackey . even the usually obnoxious mickey rooney be pretty good a hackman sidekick . one oddity however be the casting of candice bergen a hackman wife . be tell she do time in prison and she seem to be try to put on some sort of southern twang . kramer idea of make her appear to be trailer trash be to have her wear an ugly brown wig . it a role well suit for the like of valerie perrine or susan tyrell . | 0neg |
what do producer or director stanley kramer see in adam kennedy novel and kennedy very puzzling screenplay . be there a few piece leave out on purpose . and what about gene hackman and richard widmark and edward albert and eli wallach and mickey rooney . what do they see in this very muddled story . and why do candice bergen and who give a horrible performance and accept such a thankless role . the domino principle want to be on the same footing a the parallax view or the manchurian candidate and miss the mark by a very wide margin . a major misfire by stanley kramer . | 0neg |
the domino principle be and without question and one of the bad thriller ever make . hardly any sense can be make of the convolute plot and by the halfway point you will want to throw your arm up in frustration and scream i give up . how gene hackman and director stanley kramer ever get involve in this mess must only be sum up by their paycheck . i hope they spend their money well . | 0neg |
this film be notable for three reason . first and apparently capitalize on the success of the two superman serial and this low budget feature be make and release to theater and mark george reef and phyllis coates initial appearance a clark kent or superman and lois lane . part of the opening be re use in the series . outside the town of silby and a six mile deep oil well penetrate the hollow earth allow the mole men to come to the surface . forget about the other hole ( those in the plot ) . second and unlike most sf invasion film of the fifty and the hero play a dominant ( and control ) force in preach and enforce tolerance and acceptance of difference against a rag mob of segregationist vigilante . no amild mannered reporter here . clark kent and knowledgeable and self assertive and grabs control of the situation throughout ( i will handle this . ) and even assist in a hospital gown in the removal of a bullet from a mole man . a superman and he be gentle than clark towards the feisty lois and but be also the voice of reason and tolerance a he rail against the vigilante a nazi storm trooper . third and you will notice that the transition from the fleisher like cartoon animate fly of superman in the two serial to the live action fly in the adventure of superman have not yet be make . | 0neg |
youre not go to shoot those little creature . in the first place and they haven not do you any harm . in the second place and they may be radioactive . ah and the joy of no budget 50 sci fi yet despite the odd gem like that and superman and the mole men be pretty uninspiring go even with a lean 58 minute run time . it beyond cheap ( the one shot of superman fly be an incredibly inept few frame of animation ) and pretty dull with it and though it have a surprisingly altruistic message the mute mole men and diminutive actor with enlarged skull and fur coat who look more like mr mxyzptlk without the hat than subterranean critter and release from their underground world by oil drilling be not malicious and merely misunderstood and and george reef man of steel try to prevent the local small town mob lead by jeff corey from kill them . an interesting counterpoint to the paranoia of the day and perhaps and but with little more than good intention to recommend it . | 0neg |
back in the 1970s and wpix run the adventure of superman every weekday afternoon for quite a few year . every once in a while and we would get a treat when they would preempt neighbor show to air superman and the mole men . i always look forward to those day . watch it recently and i be surprise at just how bad it really be . it wasn not bad because of the special effect and or lack thereof . true and george reef superman costume be pretty bad and the edge of the foam pad use to make him look more imposing be plainly visible . and true and the mole men costume be even bad . what be suppose to be a furry cover wouldn not have fool a ten year old and since the zipper and sleeve hem and badly pilling fabric badly tailor into baggy costume be all painfully obvious . but these be forgivable shortcoming . no and what make it bad be the contrive plot device . time and again and superman fail to do anything to keep the situation from deteriorate . a lynch mob be search for the creature . rather than round up the hysterical crowd or search for the creature himself and he stand around explain the danger of the situation to lois and the pr man . the creature be corner . again and he stand around watch and talk but doesn not save them until theyre shot . luke benson and the town rabble rouser and shoot at him . attempt murder to any reasonable person and but superman release the man over and over to cause more problem . superman have quite a few opportunity to nip the problem in the bud and but never once take advantage of them . that say and both george reef and phyllis coates play their character well and seemingly instantly comfortable in the role . if only they have be give a good script to work with . | 0neg |
i just get the uk 4 disc special edition of superman 1 for about $ 5 . the additional stuff include the 1951 feature superman and the mole men . so i slap it into the dvd player last night and and here be my finding . some initial disappointment i hadn not check and and i think i have it mentally tag a one of the kirk alyn serial . i be not a huge fan of george reef a superman and and i hadn not see anything other than the odd clip of kirk alyn but hey ho and never mind . this black and white production run for less than an hour . it have the feel of a couple of episode of one of reef early tv series and a two parter and put together for cinema release and although imdb say it be film a a cinema release in advance of the first tv series . in any event and it an odd choice for reason i will get to later . i be of an age where i recall tv and movie production which be limit to one or two location and set and so there be no major surprise here . even so and for a low budget movie and this one be really low budget . the story concern the small town of silsby population 1 and 430 which and puzzlingly and be also home to the world deepest oil well ( 6 mile ) . the story open with the well foreman hurriedly take step to close the well down . this conflict with the arrival of metropolis reporter kent and lane to report on the well and at the behest of the oil company . a clark be sniff out the fact that the drill have emerge into a radioactive cavern 6 mile down and a couple of odd little guy ( small in stature and big in head and black in jumpsuit and and bushy in eyebrow ) emerge from the cap off drillshaft and and start mooch round town with puzzled expression on their face . a deep breath now and here be the remain plot of the picture . the little guy scare some kid and so jeff corey ( play the town rampant xenophobe ) incite some pal to kill these creature . superman step in ( moderately ineffectually ) and catch one of the little guy who have be shoot and take him to the local hospital . corey pal burn down the shack the other little fellow have hide in and assume he be kill and but he escape and legs it down the shaft . corey incite a lynch mob ( despite the sheriff arrest him ) to hang the hospitalised mole man . superman stop them enter the hospital and take the injured chappie to the shaft to return him to his fellow . a total of 4 mole men emerge with a weapon of some sort which they fire at jeff corey ( i call this an aargh . gun because it sole effect seem to be to make corey go aargh . ) and superman save him . he immediately change his way because of amazement at superman save him after the way he have behave and the mole men go back down the shaft . the end . despite the film only be an hour long and there be an inordinate amount of creep around and beware and pursue i have leave out all the mole man 1 creep from a to b and look out to make sure no one be follow him stuff . the mole men be never engage in any way whatsoever they have no dialogue they just turn up and get persecute and and go back . they do look a little creepy and but they be hardly the bug eye monster that the town reaction implies . reef be quite a good clark kent very much a hard nosed reporter and much more so than phyllis coates rather indifferent lois lane . but he be a terrible and terrible superman . not only do he not look the part ( at least his hair be dye black in this and which be an improvement from the rather light hair he sport in some of the tv episode ) and the way he play it be all wrong in my book . i be sure he be tell to strike the pose ( which superman do constantly ) and but someone should have tell him that it should be fist on hip and not fist on rib . and he play superman a a rather strict and touchy schoolteacher he doesn not actually wag his finger in remonstration and but he may as well have do . and superman do a huge amount of walk around ( i say a huge amount he isn not actually in it all that much ) and and a bit of run . he take off and land a couple of time and but isn not see in flight at any point . oh and some bullet bounce off him and and he use telescopic vision a clark and but with no accompany visual effect . in fact and visual effect be conspicuous by their absence and and the few which be present aren not very good . i have try to consider this effort by reference to the standard of the time represent but even by those standard i think it a pretty threadbare effort . thankfully and production standard on the tv series be high and and at least they take the trouble to come up with story which have a bit more to them . something of a disappointment i shan not be watch it again . | 0neg |
this movie be just plain bad . just about every cop movie cliché be present and account for . bad guy get away . check . partner . check . wacky personality clash with partner . check . rookie with something to prove . check . rookie show up grizzled veteran . check . about the only one it do not touch on be idiot shoot themselves in the foot and retirony but i guess theyre save those old chestnut for dooley next outing . add in the battle of the sex with girl power along with tired old sight gag and banal overdone material like dooley prize car get trash all the time and you have the recipe for one really bad movie . avoid this one at all cost . | 0neg |
the big one that bug the hell out of me be that they say zues take dutch command . but she be speak german to him . the 2 languishes be completely different and it like say well he take french command and start talk spanish . james belushi give more the feeling of be a comedy actor not a detective in the slightest . the role just doesn not fit him and even if it mend to be a comedy . to many stereotype or predicable stuff . typical comment or comeback . if you do not look at those thing i think it could be a nice movie to watch if it ever on tv . but i wouldn not suggest rent it . | 0neg |
i be very disappointed with k 911. the original good quality of k 9 doesn not exist any more . this be more like a sitcom . some of cast from original movie return and get some of my memory back . the captain of dooley now love to hit him like a scene from old comedy show . that be crazy . what the deal with the change of police . it seem like they be now lapd . not san diego pd . it be a completely different movie from . | 0neg |
the original be a good movie . i buy it on tape and have watch it several time . and though i know that sequel be not usually as good a the original i certainly wasn not expect such a bomb . the romance be flat and the sight gag old and the spoken humor just wasn not . this may not have be the bad movie i have ever see but it come close . | 0neg |
if you be one of the people who find accord to jim great television comedy and this be go to rock your world . and might i add and kudos for prove that good talent and good writing and a charismatic star be all you really need on any network other than abc and which prefers to air crap like jim belushi show year after year . k 911 be a big and steaming and brown and german shepherd size thank you for all of the genius who love the first movie . it exactly what fan of that film and the less belushi deserve . jim comedic chop and choice in project be never far behind his ability to butcher a blue standard . look for him to try to showcase all of his diverse lack of talent into every project he hurl at the public like a surly zoo chimpanzee . if you enjoy jim work and this movie be your reward . | 0neg |
i be expect a little something from k 911 and i mean it do look like a cute movie that i could get into . i always do love the dog comedy movie . but it look like it be suppose to be jame movie and not jerry lee . the plot be pretty lame and the two love interest really do not have chemistry to begin with . not to mention that james seem to have a total sexist view in the movie despite the fact the writer wasn not go in that direction . james just really tick me off for more than half the film . the dog be the true star and that pretty sad that they out shin the actor . so and i be glad it not just me on imdb who agree that this be a pretty stupid movie . but hopefully and james will realize it be his brother jim who be the talented one and no offense and but not everyone can be their star sibling . don not you wish ashlee simpson would take that same advice . representd negative . | 0neg |
extremely disappointing film base on the james michener novel . what be even bad be marlon brando performance . his southern drawl be ridiculous . i find myself laugh when he speak a he sound like an elderly southern lady come home to roost . brando and so great in previous film and be reduce here to a laugh stock . tyrone power and in witness for the prosecution and should have be nominate for best actor instead of brando here . the film and deal with racism and dealt with the u. s. government attempt to avoid marriage between u. s. soldier and japanese woman . brando be stone face throughout the movie . his move from anti these relationship to a pro one occurs when he find love with an asian woman . his emotion and talk make it difficult to see how he could espouse such new view . only the lord know why red button and miyoshi umeki receive supporting oscar for their performance . nothing about either performance be equally impressive . umeki appearance on the screen be short and without much of anything be depict on her part . a good performance in this film be do by miiko taka and who do nicely a brando love interest . she show great emotion a the anti american who find love with the brando character . her face be etch with the unhappiness she have for lose her father and brother in world war 11. she realize that her dancing be not her way out of this existence that she be live . martha scott go from the hebrew mother yochobel in the ten commandment to the bigoted mother of brando love interest at first . her performance together with the one of ricardo montalban be waste . patricia owen and a brando first love and show depth and conviction in her performance . | 0neg |
i do not expect much from this tv movie . you have to set the bar low than you would for midget limbo for any tbs movie star antonio sabato jr. still and it manage to disappoint and fail even to be a good bad film . every scene be by rote and a if someone have cut and paste scene from a dozen movie and tv show deal with big business conspiracy into the script and lean back and say and my work be do . it all cliche and all predictable and and and even bad and the actor be force to look like theyre take it seriously and ( even when the plot development be laughable ) . do yourself a favor . watch the x file if youre in the mood for paranoia . they handle it well . also and let anyone know that sit through fatal error be just that . | 0neg |
this have the logical consistency of marshmallow fill with ketchup and and the overall aftertaste be just a disgust . will be use in the 9th circle of hell at recreation time . just plain torture . i would rather choose to watch 90 minute of my computer go through 5400 blue screen of death than watch this appal drivel again ever . horrible . horrible . horrible . you know and the good thing about swiss cheese be that along with the hole you get some cheese represent here it only hole and the excitement factor . well that turn watch paint dry into an adrenalin rush and an olympic speed sport . my brain hurt from try to work out who ok would this drivel and do they think about the premise .

i rat this movie a 1 since the plot be so unbelievable unbelievable . judge for yourself . be warn and the following will not only give away the plot and but will also spoil your appetite for watch the movie . a computer virus and design by a frustrated nerd and send out a code through television screen and computer monitor . when the code in the form of light enters the eye it can access the electrical system of your body . what it do be force the body cell into excretion of calcium . within second after infection the patient reach for his neck and develop tunnel vision and his skin will turn white of the calcium and after which he fall and his hand and scull will crack in a cloud of chalk . this virus be very intelligent . when it find out that a blind computer expert be try to disassemble the code with a braille output device operate by hand the device be set on a very high voltage and which cause severe burn wound on the skin of the expert head . the virus also sense aggression against remote control and the keyboard of an atm . fortunately it could be stop by throw over outdated desktop pc in a rack and electrocute the nerd with his back on a broken computer and his foot in some spilled water . oh dear . | 0neg |
i have read the novel reaper of ben mezrich a few year ago and last night i accidentally come to see this adaption . although it be year since i read the story the first time and the difference between the novel and the movie be humongous . very important element and which make the whole thing plausible be just write out or change to bad . if the plot sound interesting to you represent go and get the novel . it much and much and much good . still 4 out of 10 since it be hard to stop watching because of the great basic plot by ben mezrich . | 0neg |
like so many medium experiment and this amateurish effort contain seed of a very interesting social commentary . in the 5 plus year since it be release and the premise have be make less outrageous by real world event in software development and and i find it less boring than the previous commentator for that reason and i imagine . the director clearly be a fan of hitchcock and and it too bad that the film be not well execute and but in fact and it be nearly a parody of pulp fiction and include the soundtrack screech at u when we be suppose to pay attention . one can almost see the exclamation point and capital letter on a yellowing page . i have to admit i find it rather entertain for all these reason and more . sometimes the slick have less to offer u and and i would recommend it to anyone interested in deconstruct it for education purpose . oh yes and even though the seam show and it creak a lot and my heart rate go up and and i be reluctant to get up and take a break . | 0neg |
despite it stereotype and virtually no name cast and an obviously low budget i think this film be alright while much good than i expect it to be . i be skeptical at first the idea of a computer virus that can also infect people seem a little ludicrous to me . but in the end and i think the film handle the concept well ( even if some scene be a little clichéd ) . the cast be quite good and and the two lead seem to take their role very seriously . i couldn not help thinking and though and that janine turner be a bit of a geena davis look a like . maybe it just her face or the make up and hair and clothes she have in this movie but it just keep nag at the back of my mind the whole time . while it not a amust see or a great film by any standard and fatal error be an entertaining flick that will keep you watch until the end . | 0neg |
actually and this flick and make in 1999 and have pretty good production value . the actor be attractive and and reasonably talented . there aren not a bunch of clown run around blast away and expend hundred of round and but never hit flesh . nor be there wild car chase or crash where thousand of dollar worth of beautiful machine be uselessly trash . the interior look respectably modern and architecturally and and the equipment look up to snuff . well and there be that high tech computer room furnish with what look like leftover from a 50 electronics lab . and the pancake make up on the corps crack me up . not pancake make up in the conventional sense and but what look like dried pancake batter slather over their exposed skin . this be suppose to support the idea that the body have calcify though how the virus would accomplish this transmutation be an exercise left for the student ( viewer ) . ah yes and the virus . i would like to tell you that this be not the absolute bad premise for a sci fi and horror flick i know of and but i can not . a computer virus that be transmit via a television ( or computer monitor ) screen and become a lethal biological pathogen . gim me a break . warp drive a la star trek be one thing and but photon become virus . this be so silly the desired fright factor just isn not realizable . the flick could have use one of those awful dream sequence where the dead come alive and or have a cat jump out of the closet and or something and because the viral thingamajig isn not do it . one presume robert wagner have the same excuse for play in this inanity that lord oliver give for some of his later and trashy venue . he need the money . no other comparison between the two should be construe and however . | 0neg |
in some way and the concept behind the storyline be a rather interesting blend of several typical movie type in an interesting combination . however and no point in this movie be so obvious that it do not deserve linger close up shot . i felt a though i have be beat over the head with the so call mysterious explanation for the disease kill people . the writer appear to have simply lift clichés from other movie a a substitute for write line adapt to actual character . the actor do not help matter . no chemistry . i guess they be suppose to develop some kind of attraction if only for the reason that such be an essential element of these story . however and the writer do not work very hard to develop the chemistry . sure and theyre both attractive and but whether theyre attractive to each other seem to be an open question . the confidence turner character show in sabato develop far too quickly and for no particular reason . sabato character be suppose to be a discredited doctor who just can not seem to play by the rule . think of the jeff goldblum character in independence day . usually and that kind of character be suppose to demonstrate some kind of talent or brilliance . sabato character do not . he cassandra with just the crazy and all the prophetic skill of a magic eight ball . he appear to be right by random chance . the death scene be comical . every actor be really try more than a little to hard to demonstrate the agony inflict on them . the symptom look like bad claymation and sort of like that video from the 80 and peter gabriel and i think . | 0neg |
ok and the movie be good but i give it a 1 because the idea of a computer virus become an organic virus be pure fairy tale . this kind of crap just add to those uncomputer savvy moron paranoid delusion that a computer virus be exactly like an organic virus . first of all and string of code and dozen of 1 and 0 add up to computer virus . an organic virus be much more complex and even though it way tinier . though and it consider one of the simple form in the universe and organic virus attach burrow into your cell and attach themselves to the rna and then change your own rna code . explain to me how something like that could be process from a monitor . maybe the radiation have some effect on the user cornea that turn your eyeball into these virus . i could see that and but obviously and the writer do not think of that . | 0neg |
i have just lose 2 hour of my life watch this mindless plot . i could make a good movie with my cellphone camera . how do they manage to get actor to play in those movie . porn movie have good scenario and effect . i wish i have those 2 hour back . the only good thing about this movie be the cast . even though and their acting skill in this one could not lift this movie to passable and the rest be just way too bad . it the type of movie that i would recommend use to torture prisoner into scar them straight . even bad and i saw a translated version of this flick . imagine and a bad movie . with an even bad translation . yikes . | 0neg |

when you see boris karloff and bela lugosi a co star and you expect to find a well do horror movie and but this be actually quite different and represent a it do what i would describe a an early effort at science fiction . karloff and lugosi both play scientist ( rukh and benet respectively ) competitor to an extent and until rukh win benet over with a demonstration that prove his great theory . the science here be to say the least a bit rough around the edge ( thus science fiction and with the emphasis on the fiction ) but somehow rukh harness some sort of ray from andromeda that allow him to look at the earth several thousand million year ago . in that pre historic time and a huge meteorite slam into africa and leave deposit of a substance the scientist call radium x which can heal and destroy . a large portion of the movie be set rather tediously in africa and on a search for the meteorite deposit and which rukh eventually find and harness to create a great weapon and unfortunately infect himself with some sort of disease that make him a great weapon as well . karloff and lugosi be both pretty good here . lugosi pull off a role in which he the good guy pretty well and although i frankly find him a bit unconvincing especially during the scene set in africa . the story also plod along a bit and and while it hold my attention it do not captivate me . give that this be really a sci fi rather than a horror flick and and that sci fi be in it very early stage and i suppose the movie need to be cut a bit of slack . it be ok nothing more and but also nothing less than that . 4/10 . | 0neg |

i wasn not sure how to rate this movie and since it be so bad it be actually very funny . i be not a gackt fan by any mean and though he be talented and despite the weird pseudonym that sound like a cat cough up a hairball . i always think hyde be talented though and faith be an interesting album . but on topic here folks . this movie be ridiculous . it so over the top and nonsensical it almost like a parody of supernatural action film . the movie have almost no plot here and except it just about vampire with gangster friend . in a way and this film almost remind me of spider man 3 and with how there be too many idea and which result in not enough time to pay attention on one of them . the action scene be laughable . quickly edit and almost hard to understand and with choreography that so laughably bad . though hyde look very stylish during the action scene and but that this film only such redemption . i be a sucker for good action movie and but the action be horribly do . though the final shootout be ok and the highlight of this otherwise depressing movie . it keep jump between genre and not a good thing . it want to be a drama and or an action flick and or a horror and or a romance . what the hell . if this review be make you mad and why . be it because gackt and hyde be your love . don not fool yourself and this movie be bad . | 0neg |

picture the scene where a bunch of scriptwriter sit around a table and one say let have a black woman approach an unsuspecting member of the public ( also black ) in the street and ask him if he be black and then walk away . the other writer fall about laugh hysterically until one suggest they repeat it in every episode . more laughter . now if you think the premise be funny and and the show contain many such type of situation and you will enjoy this show . for the rest and use your zapper and find something more entertaining like watch paint dry . those that have write glowing report of this show should either get out more or be force to watch television comedy that be really funny . another example of the humor in the show and a girl try to get out of pay at a supermarket checkout by try to hypnotise the cashier . marginally funny the first time but why repeat it over and over in different show with different cashier . i could give other example but these just might be treat a spoiler and divulge why this comedy just be not funny at all . | 0neg |

five minute after watch this i log on to imdb to warn all of you out there not to bother with this movie . genre representhorror . it have moment of mild suspense and throughout the whole movie i be think to myself somethings get ta happen soon it do not . when the movie end i felt so embarrass for the writer or director i have never be the big fan of patrick rea this guy just do not know how to make movie and after watch this sorry excuse of a horror flick i have go from not be the big fan to will not watch another of his work . i be take in by the plot summary please do not make the same mistake . i give this movie a 2 for the actor . they be not bad and it wasn not there fault they get such bad direction . | 0neg |
a film with very little positive to say for it . firstly it have zero pace and be positively lack in any drama . besides be remarkably slow the empty acre seem dedicate to use the same stock footage again and again . i lose count of how many time i have see that field at night or that bit of cracked earth . it also have the fundamental flaw of thinking that if the audience do not know about thing they will be grip rather than just confuse . so with no sign that there be any issue we suddenly find the marriage be not what it seem to be despite be give the impression that it fine . we find jacob be possibly the bad farmer in the universe a he seem to spend no time on the farm and also seem to have buy land with a wholly useless acre . beth have a key to a warehouse of book . there be innumerable other question some of which be resolve later in the movie and much later and in fact too late . and on the point of the acre . horror filmmaker note that large inanimate object be inherently not scary and also if theyre meant to be an acre big then make them so . there be also a frightening lack of reasonability a beth ( the best performer in the piece and follow by jefferson the cop ) suddenly appear to be accuse of everything under the sun just because she be on medication . with the full ten minute plus of run round the field look for the miss child ( do he crawl out of the window . he six month old ) the film descend into badly write scene after badly write scene . bad plinky plonk horror music fail to add atmosphere . often bad film can be amuse but not the empty acre and which be just bad . | 0neg |
a an inspire director myself and this movie be excite to watch with criticism in mind . shot with low end digital camera probably with 35mm adapter for dof . the editing be good act decent and sound effect aren not too over the top . i would have give it a 7 for an indie film and but the story aren not that interest . it more on the drama side and character development than a horror flick . it not for those who want to get spook startled frighten gross out and or sit down with popcorn to just enjoy . honestly this movie would be good if we be still in the 50 this movie be about a family who have a dry field and and that be just that . | 0neg |
i saw this film on it release and and have watch it 3 or 4 more time and include last week . i regret i have to be a voice of dissension with regard to mr. branagh performance . this be really a glorious and sumptuous film and to say nothing of ambitious at over 4 hour long beautifully shot and design . derek jacobi and julie christie and kate winslet and richard brier and and many others do fine job . then there kenneth branagh . if ever there be a vanity project for an actor and this be it and and mr. branagh spare nothing in put the ham in hamlet . from the stunt casting ( which give u the bad performance ever by the woefully miscast jack lemmon ) and to the bit of distract business throw in to infuse a sense of naturalness and to his own performance which run the gamut from throw away the single most famous soliloquy in all of literature to scream every line of others . his performance confirm that and while he may come across good on stage where big be necessary and he have never be a great film actor . the scenery budget could be charge to cater and mr. branagh eat so much of it . his performance be a perfect example of why people do not go to see shakespeare full of sound and fury and signify nothing . and if there be fault to his direction and it be that he keep the camera firmly glue on his overblown performance . no matter what theories people may posit on the bard and he be and after all be say and do and a playwright . the brilliance of his play rest in the fact that his theme be universal and timeless . although there be no right way to play his play and there be most certainly great act and good acting and bad acting . shakespeare himself give instruction to the player in the text of hamlet itself . it amaze me how mr. branagh mouth it and but do not hear it . it be an example of spending too much time work out how he go to say something and and too little figure out what he say . while mr. branagh have certainly do a wonderful job in mount some entertaining production and he would be wise to stay behind the camera and allow those who know the art of act to practice it . his direction have always be good than his act . i still give him immense credit for resurrect interest in film shakespeare . he set a great template for other production . and and it would be interesting to see him onstage and from about 20 row back . but and i do hope he choose to direct more and act less . be it worth see . certainly . there be many little joy to be find in the film . but and it a long and long movie and and by the end and one may feel less that they enjoy than survive it . | 0neg |
this ludicrous and inept film be certainly the most misguided version of hamlet to ever reach the screen . branagh approach to the material can only be describe a vulgar while go to such length a depict ophelia in a straight jacket and have fortinbras army appear suddenly on the horizon ( look very much like the climax of monty python and the holy grail ) when the palace be apparently guard only by francisco ( who shout the very un shakespearean cry of ataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack before be gun down ) and and multitude of star cameo that harken back to the day of jimmy cagney bottom and mary pickford kate . branagh choose to set his film in an edwardian setting but at the same time decide to employ an almost uncut text and so that frequently the dialogue that be firmly root in elizabethan mentality make no sense in the context that it be be perform . and branagh do not concern himself with such textural subtlety a the ambiguous nature of hamlet and olphelia relationship and treat the audience to a vulgar nude sex scene between the couple that toss any ambiguity right out the stained glass window . the uncut text do allow branagh to indulge in his favorite cinematic pastime represent more footage of kenneth branagh . this be never so apparent a in the how all occasion inform against me speech that end the first half of the nineteen hour film ( at least that how it feel ) and which attempt to play to a dramatic crescendo along the line of go with the wind i will never be hungry again . this may serve branagh ego and but it do not serve shakespeare or the speech represent when i saw the film in the theater and i lean over to my companion and snicker great moment with mr. hamlet . branagh save the funny and most tasteless moment for last and when he attempt to out do the olivier film and it justly celebrate death of claudius by have hamlet jump from off a high tower onto the monarch and impale him with a sword . branagh dane do in the king by heroically throw an apparently magic rapier from across the palace to run through claudius heart with a super hero bull eye . the only thing that save the moment from be unbearably madden be that it be so off the wall funny . while this film have be praise in some quarter a a serious depiction of the tragedy and it be in fact nothing but a star stud display of a once talented filmmaker be overtake by his own narcissism . the emperor have no clothes and and this hamlet have nothing to offer but a few unintended laugh and the appalling sight of one man ego out of control . | 0neg |
despite positive review and screening at the international festival and this movie be not for everyone . the story be very similar to other movie and in which a teenage girl from the family of immigrant need to overcome many common personal problem of her age and and also to struggle against the pressure of ethnic tradition in her family . she do that by choose some kind of sport and and with the help of a local boy and that for some reason fall in love with her and she confront her problem and win . in girlfight it box and in bend it like beckham it soccer and and now it kung fu . but fighter be much inferior product than these two and it be simply embarrass to watch it . semra turan and the actress that play the role of a teenage girl and maybe can do a lot of thing and but one thing she can not do be to act . her presence on the screen be anemic and clumsy and the dramatic situation and in which she try to show some emotion and be dreadful and her body and facial language be of amateur actress and badly instruct by the director . the rest of the cast be a little good and but they just can not save this cliché movie with stereotypical character and shallow plot . besides a few relatively good moment this movie have nothing new or interesting to offer . even the kung fu fighting be not a reason to watch this and it just so boring . the slow motion be really unnecessary and the choreography be basic and lack the inspiration and and most of the kung fu scene be just train or stand in all kind of kung fu position and not actually fight . not to mention how ridiculous it look when a small and skinny girl fight big and muscular boy and and knock them off their foot . the only reason this movie have be notice at all be because it european . it very easy to publicize this movie a first martial art film from denmark and but do not be fool and it not . it just a drama about stupid teenage girl and her problem and which be and by the way and not really convince . bad movie with embarrass line and act and story . | 0neg |

seriously and i mean very seriously and when i first start watch the show i think it be good . but the plot just get bad . the storyline be either too boring or predictable . george isn not always funny and he sometimes act stupid . his joke be overdone . his mom be the silly character of the show . how can a mother treat her own son that way and okay if it be the daughter in law and but this be her own son . i give this show a 4/10 just because the first few show be a little funny . the actor constance marie and masiela lusha do a great job . don not know how these show get to play for so long . if youre really bore like i be and have nothing else to watch and i would suggest you watch this . | 0neg |
what have ireland ever do to film distributer that they seek to represent the country in such a pejorative way . this movie begin like a primer for film student on irish cinematic cliche represent unctuous priest and spit before handshake and town square cattle mart and cycling by country meadow to the backdrop of anodyne folk music . quickly and however and it become apparent that the main theme of the film be the big daddy o of irish cliche religous strife . it concern a protestant woman who want to decide where her catholic father child be educate and which would seem like a reasonable enough wish and though not to the 50 county wexford villager she have to live with . rather than send them to a catholic school and she decide to up and leave for belfast and then scotland and where a few more cliche be reguritated . while she there and her father ( who look eerily like george lucas ) and family back home be subject to a boycott and which turn very nasty . i be not go to give away the end and not because i think people should go see this movie and but because it not very interesting . one of the problem with the film be the central character represent be suppose to sympathise with her but end up instead urge her to get a life . the villager be present a bigot whose prejudice should be stand up to and but traumatise your kid seem an innappropriate way to go about it . in addition and it take on burden which it stagger igniminiously under when it try to draw analogy with the current northern ireland peace process represent the woman be tell by her lawyer that she must lay down precondition for her return . the film be allegedly base on a true story but it theme have be deal with much more imaginatively and and with less recourse to hackneyed cliche and in the past . | 0neg |
i can not believe such slant and jingoistic material be get pass off to american a art house material . early on and from such tell line like we want to make sure they be play for the right team and manipulative framing and lighting and a love divide show it true face . the crass manner in which the irish catholic be show a hegemonic and the protestant a peaceful and downtrodden and be as poor a representation of history a early u westerns that depict the struggle between cowboy and american indian . the truth of the story be distort with the stereotype and outright vilification of the irish catholic in the story while a corruption admit by the filmmaker themselves . it be sad that people today still think that they can win moral sway by make a film so easily recognize for it obvious intent and so far from attempt art . this film have no business be anywhere in any legitimate cinema or library . | 0neg |
i remember i saw this cartoon when i be 6 or 7. my grandfather pick up the video of it for free at the mall . i remember that it really suck . the plot have no sense . i hat the fox that become casper friend . he be so stupid . casper cry his head off if he couldn not find a friend . so what . get over it . the only good part and i do not want to sound mean spirit be when the fox get shot and die at the end . i laugh my head off in payback because this cartoon suck so much . the bad news be the fox resurrects and become a ghost . i wish he have stay dead . i think i even give the video of this to somebody because i hat it . no wonder they be offer it for free at the mall . if you have a child do not let them watch this . they will probably agree with me that it suck . | 0neg |
john candy . need we say more . he be the main reason you should see this film . most people do not realize how gifted he be a an actor . witness him change from poor slob to horny jerk . just a simple ( subtle ) facial change and off we go . there be many great bit in this movie and many really dumb bit . the best moment for me be the kung fu u scene as well a the great moment when john ( in a trance ) go up on stage and talk about how much he love his girlfriend that be how much he and his genitals love his girlfriend . i be sure reading this you might think this sequence sound really crude . it be and but it be also very funny mainly because it be john candy do this bit . the story in general be pretty lame and eugene levy and joe flaherty ( both sctv alumnus with candy ) be not give enough to do in the film . levy have his moment and especially film the wedding at the end ( think rod serling ) and the great scene when he be talk to his mother on the phone . overall a good movie if you have have a tough day and need to put your brain on stupid . i give this one 4 out of 10 . | 0neg |
this movie appear to have be make by someone with some good idea but who also never have make a movie before nor have they consider that a script should be edit or even funny . when i saw this film and i saw it for john candy and assume and incorrectly and that it would be hilarious . instead and there be a stupid plot about mind control and so many flat and unfunny moment . and and to top it off and candy deliver some of the crude line i have ever hear up to that time . so and despite a potentially funny cast and story idea and we be leave with an amateurish and crude movie that will probably be too stupid for the average adult and though teen will probably find a few laugh . it really a shame it could have be so much good . i mean and with eugene levy and joe flaherty and john candy it should have be wonderful . | 0neg |
no and not the administration of gwb and the decider or strutter or smirker but the mini series monarch cove . lifetime must have realize what a dog this be because the series be burn off two episode at a time and most of them broadcast between 11 p. m. friday night and 1 a. m. saturday morning . a to why i watch the whole thing and i can only plead to weekly sudden convulsive attack of masochism . most of the cast be unknown who be likely to remain unknown . the only two recognizable name be shirley jones and rachel ward and who turn in the only decent performance ( jones doesn not make it through the entire series lucky woman ) . ward and by the way and be age quite well since her thorn bird day . the one main thread to the plot who murder the father of the heroine who be wrongly convict of dad murder but be free after six year in the slammer be stretch out for so long and conclude so hastily that you would not especially care who dun it . there be a great deal of steamy sex and several murder and and all sort of rude behavior virtually none of which be either interesting or credible . most of the cast be not particularly attractive and definitely not talented . the writing and direction be on a par with the cast . if you stick around to the end and the post card be a ( very minor ) hoot . consider yourself warn . | 0neg |
this movie be not as good a all the movie of christ i have ever see . and i be quite amazed that in this story pilate want to finish jesus and when the scripture ( as well the other movie ) state differently . it lack also a very important issue represent the resurrection . none of the other movie skip this very important part represent the faith of all of u christian lie in this very event . a paul say in one of his letter if christ do not rise from the dead and our faith be vain . a very impressive scene for me in this movie be see on the street the remains of the palm that be use when jesus enter jerusalem . finally and and in opposition to my jewish co commentator and jesus be not a myth . and a a matter of fact and he be also a jew . there be plenty of document ( relgious and secular ) that prove the existence of this extraordinary man ( or should i say and god become a man ) that indeed change mankind . i strongly advise him ( give he be a historian ) to read about flavius josephus and the most brilliant jewish commentator of the 1st . century . | 0neg |
although the director try ( the filming be make in tynisia and morocco ) and this attempt to transport the new testament in the screen fail . the script have serious inaccuracy and fantasy and while the duration be very long . but the most tragic be the protagonist chris sarandon and who doesn not seem to understand the demand of his role . | 0neg |
the stranger jack ( matthew lillard ) arrive in the studio of the crook collector of antique max ( vincent donofrio ) and tell his ambitious companion and specialist in poison jamie ( valeria golino ) that he be jack brother . jamie do not buy his story and dominate jack and tie him up to a chair . when max arrive and jack propose u $ 100 and 000 . 00 for each one to protect him in a negotiation of the antique spanish judge with a wealthy and dangerous collector . max invite his stupid acquaintance piece ( mark boone junior ) and who come with his retarded girlfriend that believe she be from mar and to compose the backup team . however and jack double cross the collector and then he intrigue jack and jamie and piece . the low budget spanish judge be a movie with a reasonable screenplay with an awful conclusion that waste a good cast . valeria golino be astonishingly beautiful but together with the good actor vincent donofrio and they be not able to save the stupid story . far and the scene that be suppose to be funny unfortunately do not work and and actually they be silly and not funny . my vote be three . title ( brazil ) represent tudo por dinheiro ( all for money ) . | 0neg |
the major fault in this film be that it be impossible to believe any of these people would ever be cast in a professional production of macbeth . hearing david lansbury soft voice struggle laboriously with the famous tomorrow and tomorrow and and tomorrow speech make it impossible to believe anyone would ever consider him for the role . i keep believe therefore that he do not get the part because he be a lousy actor while not because a big name be available . then when we see portion of the play in rehearsal it be difficult to believe the director be not parodying thing with a hopelessly miscast and misdirect travesty of actor who be unable to articulate or even understand the verse and director who see the play through their own screwball interpretation . sometimes director be so anxious to have their film do ( and writer think they have the ability to direct their own work ) that they settle for less . this appear to be such an example . | 0neg |
i agree with most of the columbo fan that this movie be an unnecessary change of format . columbo be a unique cop with unorthodox police method . this movie look like a remake of any other ordinary detective drama from the past . and that be the disturb point and because columbo be no ordinary detective . there be two part in this film that leave me intrigue . first and i can not figure out the title of this movie . it be mislead . maybe a good title would have be the vanish bride or something similar . second and columbo hide a piece of evidence without offer the reason ( to the viewer at least ) why he do it . i do not feel betrayed and just disappointed . i be glad peter falk go back to the usual columbo . | 0neg |
ll cool j perform much well in this movie that i expect . he do a fabulous job act a a renegade cop within a renegade department . from the very beginning and he do a great job of build viewer empathy for his character and the predicament he in . he act a a sort of gentle giant a person whose rough exterior can scare anybody and yet whose heart be clearly in the right place from the very start and he do an amazing job . he be quite clearly the best character in the movie . this be certainly a performance that will not win morgan freeman any award . after star in powerhouse film like the shawshank redemption this film be certainly a step down . his role in edison simply do not allow him to show his true talent a an actor and in term of the conglomeration of character place him sadly on a back burner . there be so many way his character ( moses ashford ) could have take a more pivotal role . that he do not be disappointing and a true let down . i be hop to see more from him in this film . timberlake ought to have stay in the music industry . his portrayal of a young journalist be poorly act and unpersuasive . this movie be a typical action movie that ( at least initially ) bear some resemblance to corrupt police affair la have experience in the past . be an action movie and it have it share of shoot em up scene and blood and and gut . these scene be typically unrealistic and painfully predictable . watch the beginning of the movie there be very little suspense a to what will happen at the end think of what you would typically expect in a good cop or bad cop conflict and it bear little resemblance to a real police shoot out . what irk me most be the way timberlake character behave during shoot out scene . he start out have gun and not use them . then when he finally get around to use one he fire it a if he be fire a gun his whole life . then he run out of bullet and doesn not have a gun and 30 second later and without move or anything suddenly have 2 more fully load gun and extra ammo . little plot error like this really ruin the movie for me . if what you be look for be a blatantly fictional plot in a fantasy world where everything turn out okay and then you will probably love this movie . personally and it doesn not matter to me what kind of movie it be as long a it be realistic . make me believe that the story be true . this story be so obviously fictional in so many aspect that i come away feel unsatisfied . | 0neg |
begin with the poster ( feature only morgan freeman and kevin spacey ) and the entire movie be a fraud . one stereotype after another and this movie be about nothing or nothing new and at least . after 10 15 minute and you realize that you have just pay to see justin timberlake and ll cool j recite their way through another cop flick . basically and the story be about the corrupt system in some city and all secretly support by the backbone business and in town and under the watchful eye of some hot shot politician . the almighty and above the law organization be call frat and guess what . they have get a kick as loony cop shooting and beating at will suspect and girlfriend and you name it . frat cop be corrupt and greedy and so they end up make mistake that get discover by a young and talented ( . ) journalist . one hour later and after a series of unbelievably bad make shoot scene and more stereotype line and everything end happily and we get serve the final line represent you can not beat the system . bah . don not see this waste of film roll . freeman and spacey barely have 10 min altogether . | 0neg |
the movie start off strong and ll cool j ( deed ) a an undercover police officer and with partner sgt . lazerov ( dylan mcdermott from the practice and possibly miscast a a bad guy . ) commit robbery and murder . deed refuse to kill the drug dealer and which set up the conflict of a dirty cop with a conscience . the other big name ( freeman and spacey et al ) be well cast and the movie show promise . the movie begin to fall short as soon a justin timberlake ( pollack ) be introduce . give the opportunity to make a good movie that people will possibly see repeatedly and or one that teenage girl will go and see the once because of timberlake and i would choose the former . even talented actor have to work hard at their craft while timberlake be not talented and no amount of hard work can save him . i would have think he would put on a good show and give the fact that he have be act talented for year . everything he do in this film be unconvincing . just because a singer sell million of record and sell out stadium and it do not automatically translate that they can act successfully in feature film . even hardcore nsync fan will not be able to ignore the obvious lack of act talent . that aside there be a few plot hole and such a pollack sudden sniper ability and deadly operation of warehouse machinery . this movie have so much promise . thoroughly disappointing . | 0neg |
let enter the world of this movie for a second and so you can better understand the type of movie we be deal with here . edison be one of those really stupid movie where the bad guy and his goon have be let loose 50 and 000 bullet shoot at the good guy behind wall and pillar and shout at them and and then finally get to the good guy face to face and instead of kill him . instead of waste this guy that have cause you so much grief . instead of just walk up and pop . what do you do . the bad guy . he talk to him . he grab the good guy and talk to him while hold his gun . they have nothing to talk about . shoot him . shoot him now . but he talk to him anyway . oh another thing . at the end and a newspaper say pulitzer prize winner story right here or something right above on a front page of a paper and when it like the first time the story be print . so how in the heezy do someone win a pulitzer for it that fast . yea and you know those type of stupid movie . yea well that edison in a nutshell . you get mr cool morgan freeman and shifty eye tough kevin spacey who both phone in their role completely and ll cool j who scowl literally every single moment of the movie and while propose to his girlfriend in a damn night club of all place and and who last line duck be something from like a lethal weapon movie that be never make . and justin timberlake whining and spew nonsense every time he talk and little cocky bastard . the only bright spot be a crazy dylan mcdermott do his best denzel from train day impression and which be pretty entertaining . oh yea so whats the movie about . eh and something about scandal involve the city edison fictional special unit police force call f. r. a. t. ( i swear i be not make this stuff up ) which be suppose to be a obvious play off of s. w. a. t. anyway little journalistic super singer boy justin timberflake smell something foul afoot after a murder involve 2 undercover cop from frat and and he go scurry off look for a story and gain his bos ( freeman ) trust along the way while they both unravel something even big and sinister than what they both think . blah blah blah . it like a bootleg pelican brief meet a halfassed training day . the pacing be slow and off and the script be horrible and and the acting be extremely uninspired . it jump everywhere without go anywhere . people get put in coma and you forget about them . everyone in this movie just do not think . damn what a stupid movie . it become harder to write any sort of review for it because the movie leave my brain the second it end . no lie basically and do not waste your time . | 0neg |
