honestly before i watch this movie and i have hear many people say this movie be a disgrace . i do not believe that since morgan freeman and kevin spacey have take role in this movie and and watch it by my own . apparently they be right . i be really disappointed and wonder all the time during the movie why the hell do i watch this movie . of course i be not expect much from justin a he really do not belong in the movie or theater business . but morgan and kevin . i could not stop ask myself why the heck they agree to take part in edison . to be honest and their role be rather stupid . well you might think if the player suck and then i should pay more attention to the story . it be indeed story be the core of a movie and but guy . trust me . this be not a movie you want to give a credit for it story . imagine this and a smart as journalist ( justin timberlake ) write a story against the system and at the same time learn how to become a real journalist from his bos ( morgan freeman ) . this all be support by one agent who still have heart for justice ( ll cool j ) and an brilliant investigator ( kevin spacey ) . at the end and they beat the system with a happy end story . jeez and i could not even carry on with this . just recall the movie be make me sick already . my advise guy and do not watch this . please save your money and time for another movie . | 0neg |
there be an excellent reason edison go straight to video represent it would have land in theater with a crumble thud . the movie last entirely too long and be perilously boring . just a notch above lowbrow ( thanks to freeman and spacey and who obviously have a spare two week before their next film ) and the bad guy be a laughable and action a near non existent a justin timberlake act . i hate to knock the guy and but the sooner he realize that pop be his forte and the good . the movie isn not all bad . just mostly . i like the fact that ll cool j be give what appear to be a shot at be lead man . he deserve it . and and unlike his fellow musician and co star and he can act . kevin spacey be almost always enjoyable as well ( you can see him gulp several time a he chew the scenery ) and and freeman have the ability to elevate this flick to three star ( out of ten . he not that good ) . when all be say and do and the ultimate error with this movie be that it be a mundane and tiresome piece of pseudo action poppycock that fail to keep anyone awake . it also fail to make anyone give a good crap about any of the character . all in all and t just plain boring . that be say and rent this when you be suffer from insomnia . | 0neg |
oh dear god . this be horrible . there be bad and then there be this . this movie make no sense at all . it run all over the map and isn not clear about what it say at all . the music seem like it be try to be like batman . the fact that edison isn not a real city and take away . since i live in vancouver and watch this movie and recognize all these place make it unbearable . why do not they make it a real city . the only writing that be decent wastilman in which john heard do a fantastic job . he be the only actor who play his role realistically and not over the top and campy . it be actually a shame to see john hear play such a great bad guy with a lot of screen time and and the movie be a washout . too bad . hopefully someone important will see it and and at least give john heard credit where credit be due and and hire him a lead bad guy again and which be where he should be . on the a list . | 0neg |
the movie itself be not too bad while many comment have point out the obvious flaw of the script and but it be watchable . what really give me the creep though be that people like justin timberlake even get cast for movie and and on top of that for movie like this one . i have to admit i have never hear the man name before watch this and but the very instant he appear i be just plain annoyed . the voice be crap and the face be a bad rip off of legolas and the posture be horrible and and he can not even properly coordinate all three of them . say to say and i be delighted when he get jumped after leave the disco and because i be hop from then on it would be morgan freeman and kevin spacey only . too bad i be wrong . these two and also ll cool j give a very decent performance and and they be the main reason i give this a 4. i see many upcoming movie with the little timberlake cast . and can not believe it . | 0neg |
pathetic . bad than a bad make for tv movie . i can not believe that spacey and freeman be in this flick . for some reason morgan freeman character be constantly talk about and say pussy when refer to nsync boy girlfriend . morgan freeman call woman pussy be just awkward . what the hell be the people behind this film thinking . too many plot hole to imagine combine with the horrid acting and confuse camera angle and a lame script and cheap background music make this movie absolutely unbearable . i rent this flop with low expectation . but . well . it really suck . | 0neg |
timberlake performance almost make attack the screen . it wasn not all bad and i just think the reporter role be wrong for him . ll cool j play the typical rapper role and toughest and baddest guy around . i do not think the crack a smile in the whole movie and not even when propose to his girlfriend . morgan freeman pretty much carry the whole movie . he be have some funny scene which be the high point of the movie . kevin spacey wasn not good or bad he be just there . overall it a dull movie . bad plot . a lot of bad act or wrong role for actor . | 0neg |
if you watch this movie you know why i say jesus and jesus and jesus . hehehe . every time they say jesus and jesus and jesus . i laugh think jesus and jesus and jesus and why do i rent this movie . i can not believe how oscar winner like freeman and spacey appear here in the background while timberlake and ll cool j grab the screen . wtf be timberlake . dreaful act . i think someone like joshua jackson could have do a much good job . this job be perfect for joshua jackson and believe me i be not a big fun of him . but i really prefer an actor and not this android call timberlake . and his girlfriend be shallow and hollow and annoy as hell . i be happy when they both be pop in the street . the story be ok and i think dylan mc dermott do his bad guy role very well . the movie be entertain but i think timberlake ruin it all . it would have be much enjoyable without him . by the way and the music be ok and but suddenly every time the music appear the movie turn into a mtv video clip with flash and low motion and thing like that . something misplace for this cops movie i think . maybe they want to make a mtv video clip for timberlake . | 0neg |
how can there be that many corrupt cop without any one of them slip up . with enough cop to run a mini war that include such weapon a flamethrower and you would think they would have be catch before someone writing for a weekly coupon newspaper overheard someone say thanks to a corrupt cop . you will never get your 90ish minute back . life be too precious to rent this movie . i feel bad for the big name actor that make the mistake of make this movie . if you like justin timberlake and feel free to rent this movie . he do have a very major part in it and so fan might enjoy see him . however and i believe most of his fan be young girl and who may be turn off by the violence in this movie . | 0neg |
ll cool j. morgan freeman . dylan mcdermott . kevin spacey . john heard . cary elwes . roslyn sanchez . justin timberlake wait a minute . justin timberlake . and he the star . i should have know good than to rent edison force . in fact and i do know good . but in a moment of absolute weakness and i rent this stv . when you have big name like freeman and spacey in an stv and you know it one of two thing represent an indie or a dog . a in sat on a shelf . which this do . and with good reason . the plot a such involve a squad of corrupt killer cop a la magnum force and and journalist timberlake be the only one brave enough to uncover them . he be target for his effort or maybe i should say for his horrible acting . i turn it off after one of the bad guy be shoot through the forehead and still have the forethought to turn to his shooter and smile before collapse . just awful . the real tipoff to how bad this flick be to see freeman on the cover and throughout the movie sport an unruly beard and look like nothing so much a a hobo . you just know the director be not in control . freeman be clearly slum . | 0neg |
i rent this movie last week . i saw kevin spacey and morgan freeman be on it and so it seem promising . and it be and until justin timberlake come on scene . he be a really bad actor and shouldn not be allow to make a movie ever again . i mean and he be one of the most boring and uninspired actor i have ever see . he put absolutely no emotion to any of his line whatsoever . why the hell be he cast for the role of josh pollack . i think matt damon would have be a good choice . kevin spacey be another big disappointment . his character be so dull and it seem like a bad mix of his character in american beauty and john doe in se7en . it might sound cool and but believe me and it not . now and dylan mcdermott acting be very good . it about one of the very few good thing about this movie . he be just inspire . morgan freeman be good but nothing special . he have some really cool line though . about the story and although it be a bit obvious and exaggerate at time it be good . i be expect a big twist when lazerov ( dylan mcdermott ) be kill and but nothing really happen . | 0neg |
review may contain some spoiler i will make this review short and sweet . i buy this movie from best buy because it sound interested and have some top actor in it like kevin spacey and morgan freeman . how bad could it be and right . well and it pretty bad . justin timberlake play pollack and a wannabe journalist who stumble across a case that may lead to corrupt cop at edison police force . ll cool j be deed and a cop within the force on a special force team call f. r. a. t. ( first response assault tactic ) . he team with an on the edge bad cop name lazerov ( dylan mcdermott ) . in the opening scene we see lazerov and deed take on some bank robber and but at night they be bust a couple of guy do drug . i do not want to give to much away and but thing turn bad for the guy do the drug . pollack and who work for ashford ( morgan freeman ) go to a trial involve deed and lazerov . he suspect foul play and with the help of ashford and do some investigate that turn ugly . wallace ( kevin spacey ) who be all within the f. r. a. t. team join with ashford to try to bring the corrupt cop to justice . you can tell from the beginning that freeman and spacey performance be pretty lackluster . the only person that give a all out performance be dylan mcdermott . he be a complete nut case in this movie and make a believer out of me . ll cool j be terrible in this film . he say every line the same way and show pretty much the same emotion . he be much well in movie like deep blue sea and any give sunday . the film start off with some nice action but then drag it foot through the rest of the film . the end be far from satisfy . don not waste your time with this film . i be put it on ebay this weekend . | 0neg |
the plot of edison be decent and but one actor in particular ruin the entire film . justin timberlake ruin the film with every line he utter during the movie . he be by far one of the bad actor i have ever see and and should face the same fate a the entire f. r. a. t. squad . whether it be an emotional scene and an action scene and or even a silent scene and justin timberlake manage to ruin it . do not waste your time watch this film . don not even bother download it and midget porn would be a much good choice . and justin and if youre reading this and stick to music . even though youre no good at that and you have do a wonderful job trick people into think you can actually sing . | 0neg |
i find it very very difficulty to watch this after the initial 5 minute of the film . i manage to stomach 45 50 minute before switch it off in disgust and watch monster house instead ( which and by the way and be great fun ) . the story have massive hole in it . the plot line be hugely over state and dull and the acting be awful and especially from justin timberlake who should really stick to what he be good at ( look daft and singing like a castrato ) . morgan freeman look incredibly uncomfortable and especially when make to dance around to rock music for no apparent reason half way through the film after him and timberlake meet . freeman and timberlake character seem to be suppose to have some sort of father or son relationship of sort or something and which simply isn not evident at all apart from the fact that while though freeman character seem to have nothing but contempt for the ignorant and rather stupid character of timberlake and he never the less pull out all the stop to help him uncover a completely ridiculous cover up . it would take some incredible suspension of disbelief to give any credit to the story line and which be simply absurd and blow out of all proportion . don not watch this film and it be a pure waste of time . | 0neg |
ok so i hear about this new justin timberlake movie come out which feature some pretty big name . i mean great actor like and the freeman aka morgan freeman and an asset to hollywood and however completely waste in this film . then we get kevin spacey and who i have be a great fan of ever since i watch american beauty and the usual suspect . both of these great actor probably sign on to the movie think it be go to be a great movie a i do when i hear the story . then enter a fresh face justin timberlake . i say fresh face because this be his first movie and those rotten tomato haven not hit him yet . well the reason for that and i might add and be because no one will ever see this movie or even bother read this review . the movie be so terrible that when i get into the first 15 minute of it . the character be so one dimensional that it make some bible character look like the don corleone . they get the one liner and sound bite worthy stuff . the token trouble black guy ( ll cool j ) who be with a gorgeous woman who he otherwise would not even belong with in real life . the captain be this short whiny guy who speak in such a high tone . and what crappy movie would be complete without the hero become rich because of an experience . oh and lot of gun fire and i mean a whole lot . spoiler ( not . ) the kind of gun fire that leave everyone in the police force who crook dead and the hero prevail . they get flame thrower and rocket launcher and really no kidding . bottom line if you want to see edison it because you be a great fan of one of the actor and or a great fan of justin timberlake and to all the 13 year old girl out there and enjoy . i wish i have more hand and because then i would have more thumb and because this movie be so terrible because then i could give it so many thumb down that thumb down would no longer mean anything because this movie be so terrible because it suck so badly that it make me laugh out of frustration about the story line because it just would not end because the firing and yelling just keep happen . may gd have mercy on u all and save u from these terrible movie . well it could be worst and another rnb terrible actor turn singer turn terrible actor be usher and hehe check out in the mix lol and or even get rich or die try . now the special thing about that movie be that it get 30 plus year old men and play 16 or even young teen . i could go on with these . | 0neg |
when you go at an open air cinema under the greek summer night you usually do not care what the movie be . edison start really good with some good effort from the singer who want to be actor and a once again great morgan freeman but . ( in a movie there be usually a good start to catch audience and do and a bit boring yet story fill middle of the movie that be more about character and less about action and do and and the third part be something really good so that you can remember the movie . ) when you see 30 elite police officer ( pack with weapon that can demolish a building ) shoot at a guy behind a car and fail to hit him even once while he kill all ( but 3 ) and then the guy take out a flame thrower ( to kill the rest 3 ) and you realise that the greek summer sky fill with star be way too good to be distract by a movie like this . | 0neg |
jewish newspaper reporter justin timberlake ( a joshua josh pollack ) be puzzle when a courtroom defendant whisper thank you to testify officer ll cool j ( a rafe deed ) a he leave the witness stand . in the opening sequence of this film and you be give the explanation . you will see mr. cool j devilish detective partner dylan mcdermott ( a france laz lazerov ) decide not to murder damien dante wayans ( a isaiah charles ) . the cop in the city of edison be so corrupt they shoot their suspect and steal their money and and snort their dope . whether he out to impress his girlfriend ( herein and call pussy ) or win a pulitzer and the city corruption do not sit well with the noble mr. timberlake . timberlake decides to investigate the corruption and which reach both unexpected scope and life threatening level of danger . writer or director david j. burke keep the film above water and but just barely . ll cool j beat timberlake in the pop star to movie star sweepstakes ( aka the rapper to actor progression ) . mr. mcdermott have fun with his role . lend gravitas to the proceeding be sagely support actor morgan freeman ( a moses ashford ) and kevin spacey ( a levon wallace ) . f. r. a. t. mean first response assault and tactical and but it more important to know that edison ( force ) star justin timberlake and ll cool j and not morgan freeman and kevin spacey ( who seem lose ) . edison ( 9/17/05 ) david j. burke ~ justin timberlake and ll cool j and morgan freeman and dylan mcdermott . | 0neg |
ok and i be not japanese . i do know a little about japanese culture and and a little less about japanese pop culture . other than that and i be spanish and i eat paella and i like black humor . good and with that point set and i can comment on the movie represent i have no idea on how it be enjoyable to the japanese audience and mamoru oshii be quite a good director despite the overly pedantic postmodern stuff in the style of talk head and and even that be curious and somehow interesting and i be surprise he come up with this . it may just be one of those lose in translation case and i be afraid it be and but a a european viewer watch the film with subtext overload english subtitle i just think it be horrible . the joke seem bad and the script be overcook i mean and give the audience a break and and shut up a little you damn narrator to the point of almost make my head explode over an overkill of fast pace speaking and absurd action . however and i think the animation be really cool . the idea be great and and it be well exploit in those animated scene . however and the eye candy finish as soon a the character be leave aside to start with an endless not funny at all mumbo jumbo speech over still picture . it just make you want to fast forward to the next cut out hysterical character scene . i read mamoru oshii be actually plan on a sequel for this . the idea be good but horribly exploit . maybe the second part will bring up the good part of this first one and actually make an interesting movie and or maybe it will be more and more over narrated scene . but hell and if you think talk head be dense and amazing life of fast food gifters will give cause you a stroke . of course and all this comment be base on the experience of someone who be european . probably this be totally useless to japanese people and maybe it be a really funny film lose in cultural frontier and translation . maybe . | 0neg |
i do not want to go too far into detail and because i can not really justify waste much time on review this film and but i have to give an alternate opinion to hopefully help people avoid the movie . the animation be crud and the story alternate between bore or pointless to extremely irritate . the humor be completely lose on the audience and and yes ghost in the shell fan and this be not an action sci fi or anything like that it an attempt at slapstick comedy and and the humor just do not work after be translate . it be a total chore to watch this movie and and horrible way for me to kick off the film fest and especially consider how excited i be and how open i be for anything i wasn not expect a ghost in the shell sequel and but i be expect something entertaining and and it simply do not achieve this . yaaawwnnn . rent kino journey instead . | 0neg |
i rent this on dvd and i kind of feel bad since dawson and lugacy be so earnest about it in the dvd comment . it not a bad movie exactly and but it one of those film that desperately want to be a deep comment on human nature while not realize that it story be practically a genre . plus and it be a little simplistic about the issue in a lot of way and and the character behavior often strain belief . i would say it a film that you would get something out of if you do not have a lot of film or tv or literature or life behind you ( to be honest and i have see almost exactly the same story in horror comic even ) . otherwise and it point have be make before and more artfully . and that get to the big problem and which be that it really doesn not have much of cinematic interest to it besides the point . it end up be a fairly bland movie overall that invest everything in the idea that the basic story will be shock and compelling and and it doesn not really pay off . | 0neg |
the plot for descent and if it actually can be call a plot and have two noteworthy event . one near the begin one at the end . together these event make up maybe 5 % of the total movie time . everything ( and i mean _everything_ ) in between be basically the director desperate effort to fill in the minute . i like disturb movie and i like dark movie and i do not get trouble by gritty scene but if you expect me to sit through 60 minute of hazy or dark ( literally ) scene with no storyline you have another thing come . rosario dawson and one of my favorite actress be completely waste here . and no and she doesn not get naked and not even in the nc 17 version and which i saw . if you have a couple of hour to throw away and want to watch descent and take a nap instead you will probably have more interesting dream . | 0neg |
i saw descent last night at the stockholm film festival and it be one huge disappointment . disappointment because the storyline be potentially powerful and the prospect of see rosario dawson in a small intimate movie be excite and and be a fan ( sound pervy and i be not . ) of rape or revenge flick of the 70 and i be needless to say very curious to check this movie out . my conclusion represent let stick to the classic . yes and the storyline have potential but the dialog be flat and the actor unconvincing . even dawson be empty . some would say that it a right depiction of the college world in the u and that the emptiness of the character serve a purpose and all that jazz but it just make the whole movie unsubstantial . just like the scene where dawson get rap represent it seriously lack intensity . i wasn not expect anything irreversible style but still and aren not we suppose to feel compassion for her . i do not . not for a minute and she be so lame all the way while ) and i read that the photography be impressive . well and it be good indeed but nothing ground break either . i must admit that the screening at the festival wasn not so good so maybe i miss out something here but at the end of the movie and i couldn not help think i feel like watch argento inferno again . lol . more seriously and the first scene in the club be beautifully shot and all but i have the bitter sensation of watch a long and more boring version of the scene in the filthy bar near the american canadian border in lynch twin peak fire walk with me . the crude red and blue lighting and the heavy bass music and the general lascivious or decadent atmosphere . no and i just couldn not get into this movie . too bad . | 0neg |
it pretty bad when the generic movie synopsis have more information than the film itself . the paragraph long plot summary write on the movie page have detail i could not glean from watch the actual movie . i find myself constantly back it up to see what detail i have just miss which could tell me what the ( bleep ) be go on . ala and to no avail this movie leave out monstrous piece of the story and if you could call it a story . it like they be try to fool u into think that there be some kind of movie here and film just enough so that there be the resemblance of a story and leave the rest to our imagination . newsflash to the the creator represent i pay to watch you make a movie . i can sit home and imagine plot and story line for free . and rosario dawson . this be somebody i have never pay enough attention to to be able to put the name to the face and and i can see why . she have one of the most artificial performance i have ever see for a leading character in any movie and a or b. i figure okay and maybe she do not really want the role and just get a hefty offer for a movie she wasn not into . wrong . she be list a one of the producer . next time you produce something and do not book yourself a the lead if you can not act . if you really can and then create a decent character for you to become . also and somebody here mention the white or latino issue yes and i hate to say it and but this movie do come across a an act of vengeance against white college age male who wear baseball hat . that what happen when there be nothing in the movie to endear the watcher to latino character . the adrian character seem like a cocky jerk who be no good than the story antagonist . a for the maya character and she do not seem like a real person . anyway i be ashamed for hollywood that this movie be even make . | 0neg |
have just recently re view lipstick for the first time in a few decade and i back it with descent even though i have hear more negative comment than good from other film friend with taste as vary a mine . it interest to contrast how the unique niche of the rape revenge movie have evolve in the past 32 year and from the full on gore of i spit on your grave and to the tawdry sensationalism of lipstick and to the tasteful handling of the issue in the accused . but descent and though make some important point and never really offer u anything truly new in term of revelatory meaning . no and descent be so poorly make in term of picture and sound quality that it detract from any significant message it could hope to make a message that and when examine closely and isn not that groundbreaking . i pretty much know the plot go in . what i want to see be the descent or degeneration of dawson character . be a big fan of rosario and i be anxious to see the layer be strip away and her psyche be slowly twist . you know and the kind of portrayal deniro bring to taxi driver . unfortunately and the script and the director or writer choice do not provide any sort of believable transition . the big point of failure be the second act . it become obvious what the filmmaker intention be for this segment of club hopping and drug use and and obsession with big black stallion adrian ( every white boy nightmare and natch ) from a q and a on the dvd and but this excursion into dawson character be never believably render . we do not know exactly what the hell she do half the time and what she after and or why she do it . the poor quality of the audio or video again do not help and but the sequence be just too damn long and pointless . it destroy any momentum and investment in the lead character set up during the otherwise exceptionally well do first act . by the time we get to the finale and our interest have already wan . one point of success that dawson do point out in the q and a be that by the end revenge scene we be pump for retribution and then realize just how draw out and ugly the reality be . while that certainly valid and it doesn not make the scene any more intriguing . if you have the dvd and check out the deleted classroom scene . this be an excellent 8 minute plus outtake that crackle with energy and provocation ( though all verbal ) and really do show dawson slow crack up materializing a she delightfully vivisect poor francie swift prissy and condescend dorm counselor . if more expository scene like this have be add and more of the middle third cut down and we might have an interesting psychological study of the impact of senseless act of violence . a the film stand in the final cut and though and all we get be what we have see before and only in a more graphic rendering . so what . | 0neg |
revenge be one of my favorite theme in film . moreso and the futility of revenge be one of my favorite theme in film . have see gaspar noe irreversible ( 2002 ) and i be expect an even more relevant expression of this theme . instead and this film be a weak half hearted attempt which express nothing but the film lack of conviction and focus . spoilers the end scene and a gratuitous male on male rape or torture scene and come across a nothing less than a female revenge rape fantasy . however and the film doesn not even follow through with this . instead and the drawn out scene ( which far exceed the brutality of the initial rape both in the degree to which it be graphic and to which it be ritualize ) be crown with a shot of dawson face in an expression of either regret or this do not fix anything while the rape of her rapist be hear continue in the background . my problem with the scene wasn not one of shock and but one of confusion a to what such a graphic scene be try to get across to the audience . i mean and do we feel bad for the rapist . do we rejoice in dawson revenge . be we disgust by the brutality of it all . do we feel dawson moment of regretful clarity . aside from this failing and the film be really sort of awkwardly pace with more style than substance . character be thin and dialog be monotonous and etc . normally i try to take film on their own term but descent do not really seem to know what those be . thumb down . | 0neg |
rosario dawson star a a girl who be date raped and then begin a decent into darkness until give a chance at revenge . while it clear why dawson take the role and it a chance to show her act chop and to make a small independent and decidedly un hollywood film and it also clear that aside from stun good look and dawson seem out of place in the role . forgive me i simply couldn not find her . thats not a mistake and thats how i felt and i have no idea where she be . yes i know she on the screen but even though i spend the good part of two hour look at her she leave no impression on me whats so ever . i blame the script for this since other than the end and not a whole heck of a lot that happen on screen seem to make any real sense . the people seem to be more posture than real and what happen do not seem to fit together . forgive me for be vague but nothing in this film and other than the end ( which i would love to talk about but can not cause it would spoil it ) and and the image of rosario dawson a nothing more than an image and stay with me . what can i say and this may click with you and it may not and for me it time i can not get back . for rosario dawson fan only and though be warn there several real reason why this be nc17 . ( and rosario please and youre a good actress and pick good script ) . | 0neg |
this movie suck plain and simple . okay so it basically about a girl that get rap and and to get revenge she get another guy to rape the rapist . the rapist be a douche and but the girl victim be partly to blame . i mean they both get in the mood and start kissing and stuff and but when the rapist try to have sex with her and she doesn not allow it so the rapist rap her . and the thing be the rape scene for the girl be very short and it doesn not really expose or show anything and but when it come to the rapist get rap and it a pretty long rape scene . there be basically nothing in the story that be worth watch . 3. negative . | 0neg |
i be go to write about this movie and about irreversible ( the ( in ) famous scene in it ) . so you be warn and if you haven not see the movie yet . this be just my thought and why i think the movie fail ( in the end pun intend ) . act wise and rosario dawson be really good and almost conveys portray someone almost a decade younger ( a teenager in other word ) . the villain guy be good and but lose his evil touch right before the end . if he really never change and then why would he let a woman tie him up . he wouldn not and period . then we also have the bartender/2nd rape dude . actually i do not think you would need him . at least not for the 2nd rape and but more about that later on . let reprise the story . rosario character be sexually insecure and might even have lesbian tendency ( see her scene with a female friend ) . this wasn not intentional and a rosario state herself and but there be sexual tension between them . rosario character meet a guy and who be a sexual predator and in all the bad sens . but he make an impression on her . rosario comment that her character have a boyfriend before . i beg to differ . because she act and a if it be her first boyfriend and which also underline her phone conversation with her mother . talk about her mother and here another problem . after the first rape take place and rosario character doesn not tell anyone what happen . seiing that her relationship with her mother be a very close one and nothing of that get explore after that . if rosarios character wouldn not call her mother anymore or would behave strangely and the mother would be worry like crazy . there be so much potential here . also her female friend represent we see her at the party and it obvious there be something go on and boom she be go . the first rape be almost unbearable to watch . but feel like a pinch and when you compare it to the end ( rape ) and which feel like youre get hit with a sledge hammer . after rape no . 1 we get too stretch out scene . thread be open ( such a her construction work be an indication that she might be lesbian and a one guy state who try to hit on her . ) and but leave in the open . no real social contact be establish and if you leave the bartender guy out and who be involve in the 2nd and last rape scene . it apparent that he isn not a nice guy and his character get flesh out a bit . but when rosario character meet her rapist in class again and his be in the movie seem pointless . we get the point that rosarios character isn not the same anymore and that she go bad and be able to hurt people . ( too ) many scene show exactly that and her be without emotion just do drug and other stuff . back to rapist # 1 who cheat on a test and get catch by rosario character and they decide to hang out together again ( really . ) . as absurd a that sound and the guy meet up with her and not without u have see him beforehand and with another girl ( very likely that he rap her too and although we never see anything of that and fortunately ) and his football career . well career be a stretch and he be bully . this be an attempt to give his character some depth and it almost work and but then again be too cliché to stay with you . so rapist # 1 submits to rosarios character . why exactly . because he promise her and it be her day . again and really . a guy like that never lose control and especially with a woman he rap before . i guess this be suppose to show u how stupid he be . the bartender guy would have work a someone who could have hit him over the head or something and but let him submit like that and just feel wrong . another possibility would have a drug in his drink . so rapist # 1 undress and get blindfold and let rosario character tie him on a bed . seriously and that just crazy . but what come next and be even crazy . first she talk to him and then she shut him up and force an object into him . this be as difficult to watch a rape scene number one . this isn not about what this guy deserve or not and it just intense . and of course that be what they be aim for . now after she be do the bartender guy come in and rape . rapist # 1. if this really should work a a revenge movie and it would have be good if rosario character herself would have be do all the revenge . have a henchman do the job and take away everything that be build up . this isn not suppose to be entertain or enjoyable and it a hard watch and it be art house . but the 10 minute ( i do not count ) rape scene at the end and just smash everything . rosario character be more or less and only watch what happen . which bring me to the big disappointment . irreversible comparison represent irreversible have the rape scene and but the movie go on ( even if it be back into time ) . rosario be look into the camera in the end and say something about have to get over this . first and that come a bit too late and that should see her say that after the initial rape . and secondly and most importantly and this be where the art house movie should have come in . it be more interesting seeing be rosarios character would go after the second rape scene and how she would cope and with what she have do . but then again and she do not actually physically do that much ( see above ) . a broken character that the movie cut off . good intention ( talia and rosario have work before ) and but fail to convey most of the thing and they set out to do ( even if you can see what they mean and it have to be convince and otherwise it doesn not work ) . not to mention the overlong rape scene a they be . | 0neg |
this movie be disgust . their should be a warning that some sadistic nasty writer be attempt to make a name for herself before be hold hostage for an hour and a half watching garbage . what be garbage . the misuse of people time and the misuse of energy and and the waste of whatever type of educational system that teach her how to read and write . talia you be a sick demented loser . your psychiatrist need to prescribe strong medication for your problem . the acting and plot give me no choice but to fast forward through the middle of the garbage . i end up at a scene that be uncalled for . if you want to learn how to shock people watch a larry clark movie . i lose all respect for the entire cast of this movie no more support from me . how could actors or actresses sit on a set while such gross depiction of human behavior be manifest from the mind of a psycho . i feel sorry for all actor that take part in that scene . i think the devil now know who the writer of this movie be while congratulation you win his attention . | 0neg |
if you want to watch a good film about how woman can fight back against sexual assault and then this film be not the film that you want to watch . it be a social commentary about a woman who be victimize and fight back . spoiler represent rosario dawson turn the table on her assailant . instead of use the criminal justice system and the victim resort to use vigilantism . she in essence nullifies the judicial system . the film the accuse be a much good film because the victim use the judicial system and win . what the descent do be tell victim of assault that they should resort to violence . be victim any good that the accuser . no . | 0neg |
do not waste your time or your money on this movie . my roommate rent it because she think it be the other movie call descent ( the flick about some traveler who get trap in a cave ) . so and we decide to watch it anyways think it couldn not be that bad . it be . i can not believe this movie be actually produce and put out to the public . it be so horrible it be almost like an accident scene where you want to look away but you just can not make yourself . i honestly feel emotionally scar . it go from be a semi low budget movie in which a college girl get assault by a boy she date to an all out porno flick . and really not a good one . i go from hat the woman rapist to almost feeling bad for him . almost . all in all and an awful movie that be definitely rat nc 17 for a reason . don not waste your money . and do not let your kid watch it . | 0neg |
okay so i find out about this movie and i watch the preview read almost all the review and be have a hard time debate whether i should watch it or not . before i even watch the movie i be emotionally weird on it . i be so unsure if i be go to watch this and be disturb for like a long time . so i choose to risk it and watch it and heres what i think represent the beginning start off fine for me . it seem to be head in a decent direction . get past the rape scene and i couldn not figure why people be so disturbed or bore by the movie . don not get me wrong the rape scene be just a sad and scary but it do not really bother me to a dramatic point . then a the middle come in i understand the boring stuff that be go on . there be like 5 minute shot of nothing but people walk around say or show nothing . it one thing to have a shot where a person be show some kind of emotion but this movie do not have that . it have about 3 of these pointless scene and where you see the main character maya kind of get out of control but it do not show it right make me want to fast forward . then when she engage in the hardcore party it wasn not so boring but still a little dull . oh and a a note rosario dawson still do a great job . okay move on so finally after an hour of pointlessness to the middle the revenge come to maya attention . thats where it get disturb . i do not feel bad for him or nothing he get what he deserve but the whole scene be really disturbing and i just felt all eck after it . i cant really tell you whether or not to watch this movie because it so . i do not know i cant find a word to sum it up . but if you choose to watch it just do not be unsuprised . | 0neg |
this movie offer nothing to anyone . it doesn not succeed on any level . the acting be horrible and dull long wind dribble . they obviously by the length of the end sex scene be try to be shock but just end up be pretty much a parody of what the film be aim for . complete garbage and i can not believe what a laughable movie this be . and i be very sure rosario dawson end up in this film cause she though this would be her jarring break away indi hit and a wowing nc 17 movie . the problem be no adult be go to stick with this film a the film play out like a uninteresting episode of the oc or something aim at teen . pathetic . | 0neg |
you know all those letter to father christmas and jesus that be send every year . well and it turn out that they be not actually deliver but drop off in a half forgotten corner of the post office to rot unless some bright spark figure out a way of post them . a bizarre setting go and it a winner and one which perfectly fit the strange movie that be dead letter office . have say that and this be obviously an australian film a oppose to a british one . if it be royal mail and most letter get this sort of treatment anyway . i haven not be in this flat for two year and be still get letter for a mr wang and some female priest of the church of latter day i have never hear of you and various catalogue for industrial equipment address to a plumbing company . dead letter office ( the name give to the place where undeliverable mail end up ) follow the story of alice ( miranda otto ) who grow up in a seriously divide home . write to her absent father and she only learn in adulthood that her letter haven not be deliver for one reason or another . so and logically and she get a job at the d. l. o. and find herself work alongside other social reject include the brooding chilean immigrant frank lopez ( george del hoyo ) . slowly and she find herself draw to him but can she find out where her dad be without bring the self contain world of the dead letter office to it knee . nothing against this film but i be remind of the god awful heather graham film commit while watch this . however and this be so much good than that pile of horse crap but then again and that ain not difficult . for a start and this film be much more logical . true and the metaphor be somewhat blatant and the underflowing symbolism quickly become a flood . but at least this be cohesive and quirky without be complete drivel . it be also well act . both otto and del hoyo be very good a the lover look for something they know they will never find while other character be peripheral at best . part of the trouble be that it seem to wrap up far too quickly and leave this viewer somewhat disappointed . the other part be that when you consider australia draconian immigration policy ( i. e. if you do not speak english and rack off . ) and such a story be unlikely to take place in reality . the other character and sadly and also help to destabilise the realism by prove to be little more than odd ball stereotype . despite that and dead letter office be certainly something a little different . it might not be to everyone taste but i like it . yes and it be hackneyed and predictable but sometimes and it nice to watch a film without gun or violence or heavy duty swearing and nudity ( no chance of that in an australian film ) . there ain not any major laugh and there no bullet time and the character be usually one dimensional . but it the story that count here and while it not earth shatter in it magnificence and it a pleasant enough way of pass the time . it the movie equivalent of a sheryl crow cd nice to listen to now and again but you wouldn not really miss it if it wasn not there . | 0neg |
this movie have a imdb rating of 8 . 1 so i expect much more from it . it start out funny and endear with an energy that feel spontaneous . but before the movie be half way through and it begin to drag and everything becomes sickingly predictable . the character in the office be delightful in the first third of the movie and but we get to know them a little too well while they become caricature and not real people at all . this be the same story i have see hundred of time and only tell here with slightly different circumstance . the thing be and i could stomach another predictable love story if only the dialog weren not so stale . the only thing that could be bad be if the character have inconsistent and unbelievable motivation and and unfortunately that be also the case with dead letter office . hopefully this movie will end up in the dead movie office soon . | 0neg |
dead letter office be a low budget film about a couple of employee of the australian postal service and struggle to rebuild their damage life . unfortunately and the acting be poor and the link between the character past misfortune and present mindset be clumsily and over schematically represent . what most disappointing of all and however and be the portrayal be life in the office of the film title represent there no mechanisation whatsoever and and it quite impossible to ascertain what any of the staff really do for a living . grant and part of the plot be that the office be threaten with closure and but this sort of office surely close in the 1930s and if it ever truly existed . it a shame and a the film overall tone be poignant and wry and and there some promise in the scenario represent but few of the detail convince . overall and it feel the work of someone who hasn not actually experienced much of real life while a student film and with a concept and an outline and but sadly little else . | 0neg |
this picture seem way to slant and it almost as bad a the drum beating of the right wing kook who say everything be rosy in iraq . it paint a picture so unredeemable that i can not help but wonder about it legitimacy and bias . also it seem to meander from be about the murderous carnage of our troop to the lack of health care in the state for ptsd . to me the subject matter seem confused and it only care about portray the military in a bad light and a a ) an organzation that use mind control to turn ordinary peace love civilian into baby killer and b ) an organization that once have use and spend the body of it soldier then discard them to the despotic bureacracy of the v. a. this be a legitimate argument and but felt off topic for me and almost like a movie in and of itself . i felt that the war tape and blood of my brother be much more fair and let the viewer draw some conclusion of their own rather than be beat over the head with the film maker viewpoint . f . | 0neg |
when marlene dietrich be label box office poison in 1938 one of a handful of actress so name by the trade paper and it be film like the garden of allah . how a film could be so breathtakingly beautiful to behold and be so insipidly dull be beyond me . also how marlene if she be try to expand her range and not play a sexpot get stick with such an old fashioned story be beyond me . the garden of allah and one of the very first film in modern technicolor be a novel set at the turn of the last century by robert hitchens who then collaborate on a play adaption with mary anderson that run for 241 performance in 1911 12. it then get two silent screen adaption . the story be about a monk who run away from the monastery out in french tunisia to see some of what he miss in the world . he run into a similarly shelter woman who be unmarried and spend her prime year care for a sick parent . she travel now in the desert and the two meet on a train . the woman be of course marlene and the runaway monk be charles boyer . i be not sure what be in david o. selznick mind in film this story . someone like ingrid bergman might have make it palatable for the audience . but you can bet that the movie go public of 1936 when they plunk their money down for a ticket they expect to see marlene a a modern day salome rather than a saint with that title . the public still remember rudolph valentino and you can bet that it be some desert romance and seduction that they be expect . a for the monk you have to remember that they be self support in their monastery and this particular one bottle a special wine of which boyer happen to be the one with the secret . the monastery will have to rethink it economics if boyer leaf . the monk be a sincerely pious group and but from the head man charles waldron on down they have a right to be a little concerned with some self interest . anyway a whole lot of religious platitude get say here by a pair of lead that really be not suit for the part . most especially marlene dietrich . i would watch this film with an eye for the special color desert cinematography and forget the plot . | 0neg |
the real star of this ridiculous story be glorious technicolor . a visual treat to the eye and the film fail to stimulate the mind and heart . i be intrigue and at first and by the idea of dietrich and boyer leave religion in order to find their capacity for love . what follow be a huge disappointment . boyer be the only real actor in the production and one feel his torment . dietrich amaze wardrobe outshine her performance at time her face be frighten to look at a unfeeling mask . a a monk and boyer hold the formula for the monastery liquer ( which remind me of the true story of chartreuse ) when he leave his marriage to god the reaction by his fellow monk hold the shock and fear that perpetuate organize religion . the viewer feel boyer be well rid of his past . however and the journey that follow be all too predictable . | 0neg |
a a great admirer of marlene dietrich and i have to ( finally ) watch this very and very dull picture . it be miss dietrich first color film and and the world most beautiful blond be a redhead . bad start . the story be a tremendous bore and involve a subject which itself bore bore me stiff represent religious guilt . ( who need it . ) suffice it to say and perhaps and that of all dietrich film ( and i have see most and include pittsburgh ) this be the only one where even her performance be barely worth watch . the color photography be ok ( this be a very early technicolor release ) and but to no purpose . ridiculous cast represent c. aubrey smith and basil rathbone ( enough say . ) . the only thing of any interest at all be john carradine outlandish caricature of a performance a the sand diviner and who foretell all that will happen . the suppose happy end be one of the most depressing ever conceive . yet another example of david o. selznick highly inflated reputation ( do he ever make a really good film . other than that one . ) and and for one final annoyance and the soundtrack of the mgm dvd be a mess and with volume level seemingly randomize . highly unrecommended . | 0neg |
my first full heston movie . the movie that everyone already know the end to . a sci fi thriller . the campy factor . everything that go with this movie be inject in my head when i rent it and and on the morning that i watch it and it be the perfect movie to watch in the mood that i be in ( not want to move . put in player and hide in blanket ) . and though i try to understand what be happen to lead to the end that will be eternally ruin by pop culture and it just really do not make it . everything be all over the place and relationship have no backbone and the end have no lead in . everything be just kind of there in some freakish way and the watcher have no choice but to leave partially dumbfound at the end that it get to and because even though we all know that it people and it quick answer a to why it people make any serious attempt at enjoy the movie for anything other than the silliness throw out the window . | 0neg |
anyone who have a remote interest in science fiction should start at the basic . everyone say star war and star trek be the best science fiction film to begin at and which be fine but the truth be the terminator and this movie and soylent green and be far good choice than those series . soylent be probably science fiction best kept secret . it remain one of the big and yet most forgotten film but the impact of it setting be become more a reality with each passing day . charlton heston overdramatize his role and yet it work . edward g. robinson and in his final role and make the most out of it in soylent green more than anyone else and his final scene be touch . it be manhattan in 2022 and the world be overcrowd and food be an unbelievable fortune ( a small jar of strawberry jam cost $ 150 ) . a big executive for the soylent company be murder and police detective thorn be on the case . the secret of soylent green be not a mystery if you do research on the movie . soylent be enjoyable to watch and but the whole screenplay be a joke . it be just as cheap a the entire production . the screenplay and the over dramatics of the actor make the movie and yet be completely hilarious . everyone seem to be a moron and no one know the rule and specifically cop thorn who like to just waltz into people apartment and peruse around shamelessly and steal anything he want . the character interaction keep your attention on the movie and but still you realize that soylent green suck . an enjoyable piece if you have the time and but do not expect anything more . | 0neg |
i watch this movie recently together with my sister who like the performance of sophia loren . i be a person who they call a cultural barbarian . i hate art in any kind of shape or form . rambo be more my kind of movie and action and kill and blood and horror . if you recognize yourself in this avoid this movie like the plague . no one die and no action and no nudity and nothing of the kind . let me give you a résumé in a few sentence . it start out with 5 minute in black and white nazi propaganda . every italian in a housing block attend a parade in honor of hitler and except for a housewife and an anti fascist and a caretaker . the housewife who be cheat by her husband and meet the anti fascist . she fall in love with him and want to make love to him and but the anti fascist be gay . despite of this they make love with each other . at the end of the day and the housewife read a book from her gay lover and and the guy himself be deport by agent . the end . you want an even short résumé . boring . that short enough . the guy should have use his gun in the beginning of this movie and shoot himself and to save the audience from this atrocity . on a side note my sister love this movie . like i say and i be a cultural barbarian . | 0neg |
fever pitch isn not a bad film while it a terrible film . be it possible american movie audience and critic be so numbed and lobotomized by the excrement that hollywood churn out that they will praise to the sky even a mediocre film with barely any laugh . that the only reason i can think of why this horrible romantic comedy ( and i use that term loosely because there nothing funny in this film ) be get good review . i sit through this film stun that screenwriter lowell ganz and babaloo mandel would even for an instant think their script be funny . the brilliant nick hornby usually translate well to film . he adapt fever pitch for a british film star colin firth and ruth gemmell in 1997 while peter hedge find hornby voice for about a boy ( 2002 ) and when high fidelity be americanize for a movie in 2000 and writer d. v. devincentis and steve pink and john cusack and scott rosenberg do not go wrong because they keep the essence of hornby wit and humor . they make one of the best film of that year . so why do the american version of fever pitch go so painfully awry . the british version wasn not a masterpiece and but it be charm and funny and unexpected and give u two character we could like and respect and understand . but ganz and mandel have excise everything funny in hornby work . in americanize the story and they have butcher it and remove all that be good and unique about hornby work and replace it with conventional drivel . they have transform a funny story into a formulaic romantic comedy and never once veer from the wretched formula . lindsey ( draw barrymore ) have three girlfriend and each of whom have a distinct function . one overweight and the second cynical and ambitious and and the third a romantic . want to guess how many male friend ben ( jimmy fallon ) have . what make high fidelity such fun be not only a good leading man and lady and but engage support character . in this fever pitch and the six support friend do or say nothing especially funny . theyre so insignificant and theyre not even decorative . the only reason theyre in the film be because the formula demand it . poor ione skye wind up a one lindsey pal in a thankless role . the lovely skye must have be wish lloyd dobler would swoop in and take her away . come to think of it and cusack would have make an excellent ben . of course and cusack be too smart to attach himself to such an utterly tedious script . there isn not a single and solitary moment in this film that seem original or unforced . every plot turn be predictable and every lame joke telegraph . ganz and mandel labor for laugh . the first 45 minute be so excruciatingly slow and you wonder if these chap realize they be write a comedy . you can mark the plot turn in this film by your watch . it almost a if ganz and mandel pen this with some screen write guru formula paste on the wall . when they get to a certain page and they look up at the formula and say and ok and the guru say this have to happen now . and and presto . director bobby and peter farrelly do not help the film any . they have no concept how to introduce their story and character ( they hand over the v. o. narration not to the protagonist and but to another guy who sit behind ben at fenway park ) . thanks to some extremely clunky writing and we have to watch barrymore and fallon stumble through their unfunny initial meeting . barrymore do cute and adorable good than most . she a good at it a goldie hawn in her heyday . but even her cuteness can not save this extraordinarily awful film . she try hard to wring some energy and humor out of this story . about 30 minute into the film and lindsey tell ben and youre funny . the only explanation for her remark be that it be in the script . for fallon ben never say anything even remotely funny . fallon be neither witty nor funny while when he do comedy and he overact . fallon be never any good on saturday night live . he be quite possibly the least funny person on that show . remember that lame sketch about a radio dj who do all the voice . the only reason weekend update work occasionally be because fallon cohort and tina fey and know a thing or two about comedy . actor who think theyre funny and behave that way rarely and if ever and be actually funny . that true of fallon . he think he hysterically funny when he barely raise a chuckle . his stuttering and unsure of himself shtick do not work on the small screen while it lousy on the big screen . unfortunately for fallon and his role in this picture also require a few dramatic moment . if you think his comedy be bad and wait till you get a load of his dramatic stuff . two scene in particular the first in a park and the second in front of ben school be painful to watch . the scene require an actor with a smidgen of dramatic ability and but fallon have neither the knowledge nor the ability to make them work . his range of emotion doesn not even run the gamut from a to b. ben have no personality or depth . often and he come across a an oaf . and not a lovable one at that . it boggle the mind what lindsey would find attractive about him . compare fallon performance to firth in the british version and and you will understand how terribly flat and unfunny and force fallon ben be and how wrong he be for this role . watch fallon in fever pitch make one long for the dramatic depth and comedic nuance of ashton kutcher . just as high fidelity do and an americanized fever pitch could have work brilliantly . it just need good writer and more competent director and and most definitely and a strong and funny and smarter lead man . do yourself a huge favor represent avoid this rotten film while rent the 1997 british version and read hornby book and instead . | 0neg |
i be generally more willing to be open mind about rom coms than many and but this be simply not a very good attempt . it get nothing to do with comparison with the british original have not see and and doubt i will . it have a whole lot to do with a meandering plot and lack of chemistry between the lead and a godawful performance or character from it suppose male lead ( jimmy fallon ) . fallon walk onto the screen wear the clothes and hairdo of a 15 year old and act a decade young than that . he suppose to be a teacher you see and and of course it well know that school district the world over love to hire individual less mature than the child they purport to teach . the character be so extremely disturbed and irrational that i have my doubt whether any actor could have make him likable and but old reliables like john cusack or adam sandler might have be able to give it a shot . not fallon and who be neither funny and nor an actor and but appear to think he be both . not once in the entire course of the movie do you either believe fallon in his role and or believe that there be any way these two people should and or would be together . near the end of the movie there be a scene where barrymore ( who be cute a usual but could not carry this one alone it hard to have a one person romance ) tell fallon that it over and too much have happen and and she move on . and rather than feel bad about the scene and or sorry for fallon and you be actively cheer her on finally she do what she should have do month ago . but of course the plot mechanic would not allow that to be the end of it ( an end which actually might have make a statement out of this mess ) and and instead we get to see the rational career girl throw it all away to chase after this childish idiot and encourage his delusion . it of course meant to be gooey and satisfying and but it actually make me more disgusted than anything else . | 0neg |
i saw this director woman on the beach and could not understand the good to great review . this film be much like that one and two people who be catch in a relationship with very little dynamic and even less interest to anyone else . like his other film and you have to want to listen to vacuous dialog and wade through very little and become enchant with underwritten and pretty uninteresting character . if you feel you can like this film and do not let my review stop you . i do like minimalism in film and but i feel tsai ming liang film be far superior . he have a fairly terrific actor in lee kang sheng in his film . there be nothing here . i wish iu like it and but i do not . oh and well . | 0neg |
this movie sound like it might be entertain and interest from it description . but to me it be a bit of a let down . very slow and hard to follow and see what be happen . it be a if the filmmaker take individual piece of film and throw them in the air and have them splice together whichever way they land ( definitely not in sequential order ) . also and nothing of any consequence be be film . i have view quite a few different korean film and have notice that a good portion be well make and require some thinking on the viewer part and which be different from the typical hollywood film . but this one befuddle me to no end . i view the film a second and third time and it still do not do anything for me . i still do not really understand what the filmmaker be try to convey . if it be to just show a typical mundane portion of a person life and i guess he succeed . but i be look for more . needless to say and i can not recommend this movie to anyone . | 0neg |
this typically melodramatic bollywood film have inexplicably become a favorite of western critic . the script be ludicrous and the acting be over the top and and it look cheesy . the only reason for watch this soap opera be the wonderful song sing by mangeshkar and the curtain call of the legendary meena kumari . watch the actress and who be ill during the filming and would drink herself to death at age 40 shortly after the film be release and have the same fascination a watch a train wreck . her ex husband and amrohi and write and direct and but lack the competency to execute either task well . bollywood have produce far well film . | 0neg |
this be a disappointing horror film about a snotty young girl and her nightmare . for a horror or thriller film and hype and it way too tame . there be only a few tense moment in here and not anywhere as near as many a should have be for a film of this genre . even those tense scene weren not much . the music make them more dramatic that they actually be . there be a lot of symbolism in here and so the elitist critic label this a think person horror film . well and if they think about it and i be sure they will come to the same conclusion i do a waste of money at the video rental store . summary represent a yawner that offer an unlikeable lead character and generally poor act . vastly overrate and certainly not what it be advertise . | 0neg |
after read some very good review about this film i think i would give it a watch and after be very disappointed with the film i think i would give it my own review . this be my first ever so bare with me . first of all i would scratch horror from the genre a in no way be it horrific or scary in the slightest ( with the exception of a few feeble attempt to make you jump unfortunately one of which work on me . ) i would say that call this film a thriller be push it a i wasn not particularly thrill either . the film be about a spoiled mischievous girl who faint a few time . during these time she visit a house which she have be draw and after each visit she decide to add something else to the house to make it a bit more lively one of the feature be a sad little boy who be also ill in reality . a she befriend the boy she realise that her imaginary world that she create be actually good than the real world that she be in . until she add her constantly away father to the house and due to a misdrawing her dad turn out to be evil and her and the boy must escape from his clutch . think it an attempt to be a slightly more mellow version of a nightmare on elm street but be more like a trip to the beach . in conclusion my generous negative will hopefully stop at least one of you from watch this drab . | 0neg |
normally i be not the sort to be scar by horror movie and but this movie be the exception . some how this movie get into my mind . it be a very simple movie but at the same time extremelly effective and it have great atmosphere and this lead to some shock moment and the girl father come down the hill be a real standout . another see be the family photo i wasn not expect that and i jump out my seat . i would recommend everyone to see this movie and with the light out it will stay with you for a long time . | 0neg |
i be root for this film a it a remake of a 1970s child tv series escape into night which and though chaotic and stilted at time be definitely odd and fascinating and disturb . the acting in paperhouse be wooden and unintentionally a joke . the overdubs do not add tension they only reinforce that i be sat watch a botch . casting exasperate the dreary dialogue which result in relationship lack warmth and chemistry or conviction . a in most lacklustre film there be a few good support act these people should be comfort and console and reassure that they will not be hold responsible . out of all the possible ending the most unexpected be choose . lame than i could have dream . escape into night deserve a proper remake and write by someone with life experience and direct with a subtle mind . | 0neg |
an intriguing premise of hand draw fantasy come to life in a child fever dream . however and i imagine the average nonfictional child be far more adept at scar themselves than bernard rise be at rivet the viewer . the duel between anna two reality drag on far too long to sustain interest and especially consider that the little girl play her be the most abrasive child actor i have ever see . use only for kindle . | 0neg |
in 1988 and paperhouse be hail a a thinking man horror film . wow and you might say and sign me up . this thing be a mess . it feature a one time young actress who have a range of like 1 to 2. g. headley with a bad british ( dub ) accent and and a story with no chill and thrill or spill . it isn not even interest psycho babble . one will only laugh at it cheap effect and long for a showing of leprechaun 5. the story involve a girl with glandular fever who escape in her dream . what you get isn not good horror and art house or even a decent after school special . i find myself after the two hour point say . where do my two hour go . the direction be uninspired and i wish it could even be pretentious . something interesting . it seem like the producer be on lithium . even in the dream world thing be bore . a short no on this one . | 0neg |
film star child actor put themselves on the back foot from the very begin . while there be some exception and the majority of kid just cant act and even the one that can normally become annoy after a few minute . the kid in paperhouse have manage to capture the bad of both world and a theyre both very annoy and they do not have an ounce of act ability between them . in short while theyre rubbish . this isn not good consider that theyre the lead and and it especially isn not good when you consider the fact that it be virtually impossible to take this film seriously because of the rubbish actor . it a shame that this film be such a dead loss a the plot isn not ( not completely ) . it follow a young girl who and after draw a picture of a house in her notebook and wake up in the fantasy world that she have create . it soon become apparent to her that she can manipulate this world through her drawing and and so set about make various change and until her dream eventually become a nightmare . oh dear . a you can see and this plot line give a nice base for a good fantasy horror movie . however and it be squander through a number of fatal fault . first and foremost and in spite of the premise be an excellent premise for lot of inventiveness while the movie be extremely stale . the central plot be hardly play with at all and and the result be an entirely boring experience . the lack of tension be another huge gaping flaw in the movie and a it see fit to drag every sequence out to a point that you just do not care any more ( which be due to a lack of idea ) . thanks in part to it lead character and the film feel like a kid movie throughout . this be to be expect a it star kid and but bernard rise should have decide the slant that he want to put on the story while a the horror in the movie be laughable at best . the film be also very cheesy and and the romance between the two lead be extremely cringe worthy and and make for very painful viewing . in fact and if i have to sum this travesty up in one word and i would choose painful . paperhouse be poorly act and laughably plot and very corny and dull on the whole . save yourself the pain and see something else . | 0neg |
first i like that movie . it seem to me a nice comedy with some silly moment . the costume designer albert wolsky do his best . the same a wonderful set decorator robert r. benton this man really have a very good taste . but the script writer disappoint me extremely . the best end would be the scene on the ladder and but instead of it and they decide that the father and his daughter should be together . don not like the end . the father become boyfriend of his own daughter and his ex wife know about it and find it alright . it would be ok and if the scriptwriter would for example say that now there be a different soul in the body and but they do not and they only deprive him of memory . the actor be good and they be really funny . cybill shepherd be charm and robert downey jr. be very funny in the dance scene represent ) ) ) . but some of the moment spoil even the impression of good acting . for example and corinne jeffries and play by cybill shepherd after the death of her husband be wait for him 23 year ( it a long time . ) and she be true to him and she love nobody but him and and when she meet him and be just about make love to him and after a scene with her friend philip train ( ryan oneal ) and she very easily betray the man she be long for so many year . it would be a good movie and if not the end and some missed human psychology . | 0neg |
predictable plot . simple dialogue . shockingly unemotional performance . but robert downey and jr. be so cute and i give this poor man afternoon special a 3 instead of the 1 or 2 it so richly deserve . | 0neg |
chance be a big mistake to see . you could know director emile ardolino from dirty dancing and sister act and should expect something amuse from him . but i guess i have to disillusion you . he make a really and really bad movie . accord to the story christopher mcdonald die to reburn a a baby . the baby grow up robert downey jr and and jr return his former home town where she meet his former daughter and mary stuart masterson ( complicate and huh . ) . they fall in love with each other . then appear jr former wife and cybill shepherd and and jr fall in love with her too . i guess i do not even have to mention that she love ryan oneil . in one of his first role robert downey jr on his bad . he copy michael j fox . after the moonlighting shepherd prove that she not suitable for act in movie . anyway and there one thing this unfunny comedy can be use represent a antidote to insomnia . | 0neg |
chance be if i watch this again i might get physically sick and the film be so annoying . unless you believe in psychic and re incarnation and the other hocus pocus which this promote big time . the re cycling of soul and they call it here . puh leeze . this story have be do several time before with such film a heaven can wait . it also be do a lot well . too bad they have to waste the talent of robert downey jr. and cybill shepherd and ryan oneal and mary stuart masterson . at least it a pretty tame film and language wise . that about the only redeeming quality of this movie . | 0neg |
silly and simplistic and and short and gun crazy ( volume 1 represent a woman from nowhere ) go nowhere . this brief ( just over sixty minute ) tale isn not so much inspire by the classic spaghetti westerns a it be a rip off of sam raimi the quick and the dead ( his admit homage to the spaghetti western ) bring into a contemporary setting . in quick and dead and sharon stone character seek revenge against the dastardly sheriff ( play by gene hackman ) who and when she be but an urchin and place the fate of her father ( a brief cameo by gary sinise ) in her hand while she accidentally shoot him through the head . in gun crazy and saki ( play by the nimble ryoko yonekura ) seek revenge against the dastardly mr. tojo ( play with minimalist appeal by shingo tsurumi ) and who and when she be but an urchin and place the fate of her father in her hand while she let her foot slip off the clutch and and dear ole dad be draw and quarter by a semi truck . the only significant difference and despite the setting and be the fact that tojo sadistically cripple saki with well and i would not spoil that for you in case you decide to watch it . in short and saki a pale imitation of the clint eastwood man with no name rid into the town basically and there a auto shop and a tavern alongside an american military base and so i guess that suffice for a town corrupt by tojo and the local crimelord with a ridiculously high price on his head for reason never explain or explore . confess her true self a a bounty hunter and saki take on the local gunman in shootout whose choreography bar more than a passing similarity to the work of johnny to and john woo . of course and by the end of the film saki have endure her fair amount of torture at the hand of the bad guy and but she rise to the occasion on her knee and in a laughable attempt at a surprise end and vanquishes all of her enemy with a rocket launcher . don not ask where she get the rocket launcher . just watch it for yourself . try not to laugh . the image quality be average for the dvd release . there be a grainy quality to several sequence and but and all in all and this isn not a bad transfer . the sound quality leave a bit to the imagination at time and but and again and it isn not a bad transfer . rather and it a bad film . | 0neg |
oh dear . i be so disappointed that this movie be just a rip off of japan ringu . well and i guess the u. s. make their version of it a well and but at least it be an outright remake . so and so sad . i very much enjoy watch filipino movie and know some great thing can come out of such a little country and so i can not believe this have to happen . claudine and kris be such big name there and surprise they would be affiliate with plagiarism . to any aspiring movie maker out there in the philippine represent you do not have to stoop this low to make money . there be many movie buff that be watch the movie filipinos put out and enjoy them . | 0neg |
i would have give this movie a negative if it weren not for ms. claudine barretto performance . and i will take this time to overlook that kris aquino here . and . end . i really avoid watch pinoy horror movie because story lack originality and i really think that ( some ) writer do not give enough attention to the character ( and their progression ) in their story ( redundant . ) . it be a if they push the movie onwards when their storytelling stank . and my goodness and creative exhaustion lead them to rip off other movie . why . why do this movie get a good review . i wouldn not give it that much merit . the movie be kind of scary and but the movie seem more freaky a it deal with filipino folklore . it go into my list of amost likely to happen category . i just wish they spend more time improve the story line and fix those flash back sequence and never mind if the lighting suck and it wouldn not matter much if the content would blow you away . sayang . | 0neg |
how do this become a blockbuster . dear god i do not know where to start why this movie suck too much . the movie be predictable and there be no originality . the only thing i can admire be the acting of some character . the movie be too bright and they should have do something with the lighting and eg . make the environment more darker . the make up on certain dead character make this movie look like a 1970 horror flick . this be 2006. people do not get scar by other people wear heavy make up . most of the horror scene be take from other hollywood or asian horror movie . total rip off . this be why i do not watch tagalog movie . the only reason why so many people scream while watch this movie be because of conformity . how many time do we have to copy scene from the ring and improvise it that instead of the girl come out of the tv and it now come from the window next door . no matter how you put it and it still a rip off . if you want a good horror movie and go watch the 50 best horror movie list on this website . | 0neg |
so and i get a hold of this a an assignment for trent harris and who teach occasionally in the film dept at the u of u. i guess this be his only real way to get anyone to see his film . the documentary section at the begin drag on . yes and the kid be a nut job from no where and but that not good enough to keep it interest . see sean penn dress a a onj be the only highlight . and after about thirty second it lose all humor . when crispin glover take on larry and the story telling be well and but i just couldn not take anymore . | 0neg |
it amaze that this movie turn out to be in one of my hitlists after all . it be by far the number 1 bad movie i have ever see . not only have i ever be this bore before ( luckily not for more then 1 and 5 hour ) and the pre adolescent attempt at humor that feature it be not even close to get but one of the corner of my mouth slightly tilt . after the first very awkward part and you tend to hope that the other part will be at least slightly good . you hope in vain and it only go downhill from there . the movie have no story worth tell whatsoever and repeat this non story three time . one can only hope that by some miracle all remain copy of this movie be lose forever and trent harris never lay his hand on a camera again . | 0neg |
i do not think any player in hollywood history last as long a david niven do give most of the weak film he have to carry by dint of his incredible charm . he could act and get an oscar for it and but most of the material he do be as light a one ply of two ply tissue paper . happy go lovely be a case in point . it a musical and for the most part you will remember vera ellen dance . you will remember that they be in scot costume a the film be set in edinburgh during their festival . but if you can recall a single song from it you must have a photographic memory . the plot be light . vera ellen be the american lead in a musical that apparently be get it out of town tryout in edinburgh . she start in the chorus and run late one day . she get a lift from the chauffeur of a millionaire greet card king . everybody now assume she the main squeeze of the millionaire . door open up a they have never open before . the millionaire be david niven and he go along with it and the various situation that be engender by the mistake . cesar romero have some good moment here a the frantic producer of this musical . in the end though happy go lovely be light and harmless fluff which david niven do so much of and get so tired of . | 0neg |
the oddly name vera ellen be to movie dance what sonja henie be to movie ice skate represent blonde and girlish and always delightful to watch and but not an especially good actress and usually lumber with weak material . when i watch vera ellen sexy apache dance with gene kelly in word and music and i can not help notice that her blouse ( yellow with narrow red horizontal stripe ) seem to be make out of the south vietnam flag . for some reason and the very american vera ellen star in two musical ( make several year apart ) set in edinburgh and a city not note for it tap dancer represent let be happy and happy go lovely . in the latter and cesar romero play an american impresario who for some reason be stag a musical in edinburgh . there a vague attempt to link this show to the edinburgh festival and which be nonsense represent the festival be not a showcase for splashy leg show . we also see a couple of stock shot of the royal mile represent apart from a few highland accent and there absolutely no attempt to convey scottish atmosphere in this movie . the funny gag occur at the very beginning and when we learn that the title of romero show be frolic to you represent this be a cheeky pun that briton will get and yank would not . vera ellen be and a usual and cute and appeal and an impressive dancer and but the very few musical number in this movie be bore and bad . the plot mistake identity between magnate david niven and reporter gordon jackson be brainless and though no more so than the plot of several dozen hollywood musical . romero be less annoy than usual here and probably because ( for once ) he isn not require to convince u that he interest in bed the heroine . the single big offence of this movie be it misuse of bobby howe . the father of sally ann howe be a major star of west end stage musical while his wistful rendition of she my lovely be a big hit in britain in 1937. here and he show up in several scene a romero dogsbody but never have a chance to participate in a musical number and nor even any real comedy . it absolutely criminal that this movie with a title contain the word lovely and sure to evoke howes great hit would cast a major british musical star but give him nothing to do . the delightful character actress ambrosine phillpotts ( whom i work with once ) shine in one restaurant sequence and and there a glimpse of the doomed beauty kay kendall . a vera ellen confidante and somebody name diane hart speaks in one of the most annoying voice i have ever hear represent it sound like an attempt to imitate joan greenwood and glynis john both at the same go and but doesn not match either . val guest have a story credit and but this movie doesn not come up to the quality of his brilliant comedy . the colour photography be wretched and though i realise that postwar britain could not afford hollywood process work . happy go lovely be at utmost best a pleasant time waster and with waster be the operative word . i will rate this movie just 4 out of 10 . | 0neg |
happy go lovely have only two thing go for it . and those two thing be vera ellen leg . this be a british ( excelsior film ) version of an m g m musical complete with second tier star . i would imagine that vera ellen take this role think that it might finally propel her to the status of a major musical star . but and i be sorry to say and ms. ellen chance do not pay off . open with a horrible scottish number and stumble thru awful dialog to the next dull tune and this movie seem very heavy hand and sloppy . the predictable mistaken identity plot be very thin and and with the exception of david niven and cesar romero ( who be way over the top in his role of a producer ) and bobby howe ( who be totally waste in a nothing role ) the rest of the cast be totally forgettable . the choreography be boring and but ms. ellen give it her all . she be never as famous a most of the other musical star ( and she shouldn not be since she couldn not sing and even have a dancing stand in in several of her picture . but when she do dance and it be just entrance . it too bad that this film that could have make her a star do not give her the tool she need to shine . 4 out of 10 . | 0neg |
happy go lovely be a waste of everybody time and talent include the audience . the lightness of the old hat mistake identity and faux scandal plot line be eminently forgivable . very few people watch these movie for their plot . but and they usually have some interesting minor character involve in subplots not here . they usually have interesting choreography and breathtaking dancing and catchy song . not happy go lovely . and vera ellen a the female lead play the whole movie a a second banana look desperately for a star to play off it and instead she be call upon to carry the movie and and couldn not do it . the scottish locale be waste . usually automatically ubiquitous droll scottish whimsy be absent . the photography be pedestrian . the musical number be pedestrian . cesar romero give his usual professional performance and chew up the scenery since no one else be do his part and in the type of producer role essay frequently by walter abel and adolph menjou . david niven be just fine and and no one could do david niven like david niven . at the end of the day and if you adore niven a i do and it reason enough to waste 90 minute on happy go lovely . if not and skip it . | 0neg |
may contain spoiler . if living on tokyo time be some bold experiment where real life wan na be actor be give film part on the condition that they would be require to take a combination of powerful prescription anti anxiety and anti depression and and anti psychotic medication ( this be the classic psych ward combo that render patient into drool zombie ) all during filming and then this movie would hold far more interest . or and if the film production be another type of experiment where all of the actor be sleep deprive before and during filming and then tokyo time could be more easily explain . a it be and this film be fill with lifeless and low energy actor . in the scene where the new husband be sit on the stair talk with his sister and it appear that he be have trouble keep his eye open . in almost every scene he speak his line sit down with every part of his body motionless . from begin to end and his facial expression be best describe a near sleep . fret not about the actor speak over each other line because these actor can barely finish drone out any line of dialog . everyone speak with a depressing and monotone voice . no laughing . no yelling . no vigor . no one have energy enough to crack a smile . the result represent complete and total boredom . and it do not help matter that the direction be simple and amateurish . avoid this lifeless film at all cost . good to watch greencard which have a similar plot and have charm and energy . or and for an unconventional japanese romance story and check out the long vacation which have an ample amount of everything living on tokyo time do not . | 0neg |
i catch this film on azn on cable . it sound like it would be a good film and a japanese green card . i can not say i have ever dislike an asian film and quite the contrary . some of the most incredible horror film of all time be japanese and korean and and i be a huge fan of john woo hong kong film . i an not adverse to a light hearted film and like tampopo or chung king express ( two of my favourite ) and so i thought i would like this . well and i would rather slit my wrist and drink my own blood than watch this laborious and badly act film ever again . i think the director steven okazaki must have spike the water with quaalude and because no one in this film have a personality . and when any of the character do try to act and a oppose to mumble a line or two and their performance come across a forced and incredibly fake . i honestly do not think that anyone have ever act before . the only person who sound genuine be brenda aoki . i find it amaze that this be promote a a comedy and because i do not laugh once . even more surprising be that cbs morning news call this a refreshing breath of comedy . it be neither refreshing and nor a breath of comedy . and the end be very predictable and the previous reviewer must be an idiot to think such thing . avoid this film unless you want to see a boring predictable plot line and wooden acting . i actually think that spike of bensonhurst be a well act film than this . and i walk out half way through that film . | 0neg |
i have never understand the appeal of this show . the acting be poor ( debra jo rupp be a notable exception ) and the plot of most episode be trite and uninspiring and the dialogue be weak and the joke unfunny and it be painful to try and sit through even half an episode . furthermore the link between this show and the 70 be extremely tenuous beyond the style of dress and the scenery and background use for the show it seem to be nothing more than a modern sitcom with the same old unfunny and clichéd script that modern sitcom have dress up a depict a show from twenty year ago in the hope that it will gain some nostalgic viewer or something like that . both happy day and the wonder year employ the same technique much more effectively and be actually a pleasure to watch in contrast to this horrible and pathetic excuse for a show . | 0neg |
i have try to watch this show several time and but for a show call that 70 show and i do not find much apart from a few haircut and the occasional reference to disco that actually evoke the 70 the decade in which i grow up . of the episode i have see and most of the plot and joke could be set in any time period . take away the novelty of ( supposedly ) be set in the 70 and and the show be neither interesting nor funny . if youre look for a show that more successfully represent the experience of youth in america in the 70 and in my humble opinion you can do no good than the wonder year . | 0neg |
a someone who live through and and still remembers that decade vividly and if the actual 70 have be half this funny and ( semi ) normal and they would have be so much more enjoyable . actual kid in that era do not act or behave anything close to a bright eyed and normal a these kid do . the country youth be still under the influence of the hippy and the drug culture all that 60 rebellion that it spawn and especially in the behavior department while the petulance and the smugness and the self righteousness and the childishness and the unreasonableness of them none of the character exhibit any of that . someone compare to happy day and and i can see why representthey be both sitcom that take place 20 year before the current time they be broadcast and and they both offer only surface and cliched depiction of the actual era and not even close to the full scope of it and just show the obvious thing the fashion and toy and music and contraption and etc and and that it . for those too young to remember and or weren not bear then and trust me and the 70 weren not like that and any more than happy day be like the actual 50 and a mash do not accurately portray life at a u army medical base during the korean war and etc . | 0neg |
why be this show so popular . it beyond me why people like it . i think it one of the bad sitcom out there . because it so popular and i have try more than once to watch it and i can not make it through an entire episode . for one thing and the acting be horrible . everybody be overact to the point where it annoy to watch . they talk in unnatural voice and use unnatural tone and and have unnatural body language . i have see well act in a kindergarten school play . for another thing and it not funny . the plot be dull . theyre not creative and intelligent and or funny . shouldn not a sitcom be funny . why be i not laugh . lastly and what be seventy about this . it about as authentic to the seventy a happy day be to the fifty . oh and what be up with ashton kutcher . who cast this untalented dweeb . and now he make movie . oh and save u all . if people think this be quality television and it worry me . | 0neg |
the invisible maniac start a a young kevin dornwinkle ( kris russell ) be catch by his strict mother ( marilyn adam ) watch a girl ( tracy walker ) strip through his telescope . cut to twenty year later and kevin dornwinkle ( noel peter ) be now a physic professor who claim to have discover a way to turn thing invisible use a amollecular reconstruction serum . however during a demonstration in front of his fellow scientist it fail and they all laugh at him and dornwinkle go mad kill a few of them and be lock away in a mental institute from which he escape . jump forward two week later and a group of summer college student discuss the tragic death of their physic teacher when the headmistress mrs. cello ( stephanie blake a stella blalack ) say that she have hire a replacement and yes you have guess it it dornwinkle . the student do not take to him and treat him like dirt and however dornwinkle have perfect his invisibility serum and use it to satisfy his perverted sexual urge and his desire for revenge . co write and direct by adam rifkin wisely hide under the pseudonym rif coogan ( i wouldn not want my name to be associate with this turd of a film either ) the invisible maniac be real bottom of the barrel stuff . the script by rifkin and sorry coogan and tony markes be awful . it try to be a teenage sex or comedy or horror hybrid that just fail in every department . for a start the sex be nothing more than a few female shower scene and a few boob shot and not much else i be afraid and the bird in the invisible maniac aren not even that good look . the comedy be lame and every joke miss by the proverbial mile and this be the kind of film that think someone fight an invisible man or have henry ( jason logan ) a mute man try to make a phone call be funny . the invisible maniac make the police academy ( 1984 1994 ) series of film look like the pinnacle of sophistication . a for the horror aspect that too be lame . it also an incredibly slow ( it take over half an hour before dornwinkles even become invisible ) and dull and predictable and boring and have highly annoying and unlikable teenage character . director rifkin or coogan or whatever do absolutely nothing to try and make the invisible maniac an even slightly enjoyable experience . there no scare and tension or atmosphere and a a whole the film be a real chore to sit through . he do nothing with the invisibility angle and just a few door open on their own be as adventurous a it get . there be very little gore or violence and a bit of splash blood and a few strangulation and the only decent bit in the whole film when someone have their head blow off with a shotgun and unfortunately he be invisible at the time and we only get to see the headless torso afterwards . the budget must have be low and and i mean really low because this be one seriously cheap look film . dornwinkles laboratory be basically two jar on his bedside cabinet . when he escape from the mental institution he have all of one dog send after him and the entire school have about a dozen pupil and two teacher . the invisible maniac be a poorly make film throughout it 85 minute duration and i spot the boom mike on at least one occasion . let just say the acting be of a low standard and leave it at that . the invisible maniac be crap and plain and simple . i find no redeeming feature in it at all and there be so many more well film out there you can watch so there be no reason whatsoever to waste your time on this rubbish . definitely one to avoid . | 0neg |
take one look at the cover of this movie and and you know right away that you be not about to watch a landmark film . this be cheese filmmaking in every respect and but it do have it moment . despite the look of utter trash that the movie give and the story be actually interest at some point and although it be undeniably pull along mainly by the cheerlead squad shower scene and sex scene with numerous personality free boyfriend . the acting be awful and the director do little more than point and shoot and which be why the extensive amount of nudity be need to keep the audience attention . in the nutty professor and a hopelessly geeky professor discover a potion that can turn him into a cool and stylish womanizer and whereas in the invisible maniac and a mentally damage professor discover a potion that can make him invisible and allow him to spy on ( and kill and for some reason ) his student . bore fodder . don not expect any kind of mental stimulation from this and and prepare yourself for shrill and enormously overdone maniacal laughter which get real annoy real quick . | 0neg |
here an interesting little movie that strictly give the phrase low budget a horrible name . our physic teacher who have about nine kid create a strange serum that cause molecular reorganization . student be hopelessly kill from fake coincidence of submarine sandwich and fly school supply . sound like a resurrection of classic b movie from the 50 and right . nope . it not an example of high camp fun and which be way and way off the mark . a glamorous showcase of breast and butt ensues our desire for pleasure and oppose the horror that should have have 99 . 44 % more in the first place . bottom of the barrel entertainment at it best and aid by pint of red blood and dead student body . atrocious movie like this would make the ultimately catastrophic guru the mad monk ( 1970 ) the work of an intelligent genius who have a master degree in film production . it an automatic f and so rest easy . | 0neg |
saw this late one night on cable . at the time i do not know that the girl bill a shannon wilsey be actually porn star savannah and but she be so beautiful ( and get naked so often and thank god ) that i actually sit through this brain rot drivel . i like cheesy flick as much a the next guy more than the next guy and actually but this be way beyond cheesy and more into rancid . the truly annoy overact by the mad scientist and the director and writer and special effect people virtually total incompetence detracts from the gratuitous nudity that be the movie only save grace . savannah and before she turn into the plasticized barbie doll she become a a porn queen and be really interesting to watch she drop dead gorgeous and burst into uncontrollable giggling at time and glance off camera and laugh and just generally seem to be have a really good time and which be more than can be say for the audience . for even though savannah and her colleague spend a fair amount of this picture naked and it still can not hide the fact that this be an incredibly stupid and badly make and annoying movie . if you know someone who have it on video and or if it come on cable some night and check it out and but do not waste your money on a rental . | 0neg |
this movie be just plain bad . it isn not even worth watch to make fun of it . the lunatic professor be just plain annoy . even suspend disbelief to allow for invisibility ( which i glady do for the sake of good bad movie ) and allow for exceedingly stupid victim in a horror movie and this movie ask for even more than that . if you be look for woman locker room shower scene and and random sexual encounter and get a porn and if you be look for a good bad movie and get something else . if you want to simply waste your time on an annoy bad movie and rent this . | 0neg |
okay guy and we know why we watch film like the invisible maniac ( just look at the cover and man . ) . t and a all over the place ( with a lot more t than a ) . but . shouldn not there be a story to go with it . c amon and i can hear you say this be just girls gettin naked . who need a story . well and if this be call the naked maniac and i wouldn not have a problem . but since these guy be crib from the invisible man and they need to have a bit of story hereabouts and you know and to keep your mind busy . however and all they can muster up be how this crazy doctor create an invisibility serum and and when he crack and use it to spy on naked woman and end up kill a lot of teenager . and when you see the smarmy look teenager he go after and you will be grateful . one star and for the t and a and but there a little too much gore for you skin fan and so proceed with caution . tidbit yes and it that savannah . | 0neg |
i love the batman tv series and be really look forward to this . but they try to do too much . why they have the story of adam west and burt ward try to recover the batmobile be beyond me . i do not want to knock burt or adam for the way they look now . it be 35 year since they appear at batman and robin and but to see them dress in dress suit and fight badguys be kinda sad . i would rather of just see the ex star do commentary . the batmobile side story be stupid . a for the flashback movie and i think it be too short and leave out way too much . it be really just a quick overview in my opinion . i would like more background . they show the penguin and joker for about a minute each just to tell the same stuff i already know . the joker have a mustache under his makeup and the penguin have to smoke even though he hat it and be an ex smoker . that be it on those 2. i would love to read the book . i be sure it have more in it that this show . like why be there 2 riddlers or why 3 catwoman or 3 mister freeze . where be commishioner gordon and cheif ohara and alfred and mister freeze and king tut and etc . the list go on . like i say even the one that be in this one be barely in it . very disappointing . and really corny . | 0neg |
i may not be the one to review this movie because after 45 minute of pure boredom and stupidity i turn the channel . the original series only last 2 year which can be say about the career for adam west and burt ward . put these two actor in a stupid movie and the result be twice as bad . | 0neg |
how sheep like the movie go public so often prove to be . as soon a a few critic say something new be good ( ie shake cam ) and everyone jump on the bandwagon and a if they be devoid of independent thought . this be not a good movie and it be a dreadful movie . 1 ) plot . what plot . bourne be chase from here to there and from begin to end . that the plot . don not look for anything deep than this . 2 ) cinematography . do me a favor . any 7 year old arm with an old and batter 8mm movie camera would do a far good job ( i be not exaggerate here ) . this film be a tour de force of astonishingly amateurish camera work . the ridiculous shaking of every ( i really do mean every ) scene will cause dizziness and nausea . 3 ) believable . oh yes definitely . this be a masterpiece of credibility . i love scene about bourne be chase by ( local ) police through the wind market street of tangier . i have be to tangier . even the guide can not navigate their way through those street but bourne shake off 100 police with speed and finesse . greengrass must be laugh his head off at the gullibility of his film disciple . 4 ) editing . i do not know what the editor be on when he do this film but i want some . every scene be between 0 . 5 and 2 second . i felt nauseous at the end of the film from the strobe effect of the scene flash by . 5 ) directing . hmmm . this be an interesting aspect . the film appear to have actually not have any directing . more a case of greengrass throw a copy of the script ( all two page ) at the cameraman and tell to shoot a few scene whilst drunk . don not worry boy and we will tie the scene together in the editing room . the editor should be tar and feather and put in the stock for allow this monstrosity to hit the silver screen 6 ) not one but two senior cia operatives give the tender feminine treatment to the mistreat and misunderstand jason bourne . put their life on the line for someone they couldn not even be sure wasn not a traitor . talk about stupid nincompoop . ( whilst the evil male cia member plot to terminate any operative who so much a drop a paper clip on the floor ) . ( well and all men be evil and aren not they . except for snag of course ) . yes and this really be a modern and politically correct film that show the female to be the hero of the day and the oppressive male a the real threat to humanity . 7 ) when the you know what finally hit the fan and good triumph over evil ( just like it always do and eh . ) and the would be assassin get the drop on jason bourne he suddenly undergo a guilt trip and refrain from pull the trigger ( yeah right . ) at that very moment and the evil deputy director just happen to turn up gun in hand and he do pull the trigger . how do this 60 year old man run so fast and not even be out of breath . wonder will never cease 8 ) don not worry and there a senate hearing and the baddie get pull up before the court . well and we can not have nasty and politically incorrect and cia operative go round shoot people and can we . how lovely to see a true to life p. c. film of the noughties . the bourne ultimatum be utter rubbish . | 0neg |
i do not understand people . why be it that this movie be get an 8 . 3. i have high hope for this movie and but once i be about a half hour into it i just want to leave the theater . in the vast majority of the review on this site people be say that this be one of the best action movie they have see ( or of the summer and year and etc . ) they say it an excellent conclusion . wtf . what have be conclude ( besides the fact that bourne can ride motorcycle and shoot and and fight good than anyone else he come across ) . what do you learn about bourne character in this movie . absolutely f nothing . okay and there a lot of action and but what so great about the action in this movie . i do not like the cinematography and film editing . the shaky camera effect and fast change shot be use too much and they get old fast ( i do not mind them in supremacy because it be still easy to follow and be not use in excess ) and make me quite dizzy . i be quickly wish i have save my $ $ $ for something else . this movie have no plot . all this movie be be a 115 minute chase see . bourne and who you learn absolutely nothing about in the entire 115 minute of the movie and be a perfectionist at everything he attempt . there be absolutely no character development in this movie and you know nothing about anyone and and there be a wide array of new character that be introduce in this installment . some people say that this movie have incredible writing and suspense . . what write . what suspense . there no suspense . bourne be so perfect at do everything he do and i do not think he have anything to worry about . if this be the best movie of the year 2007 i may just quit watch movie entirely . many people have also say that matt damon performance in this movie be one of the best ( if not the best ) of his career . what performance . how many line do he have in this movie . i have some respect for damon because he have be in movie that i like and have play different kind of character and but a good actor be someone that you can barely recognize from one movie to the next and someone who choose different type of role . not someone who play the same role over and over again ( which damon doesn not do and but an example of someone who do be vin diesel ) . anyways and this movie be a big disappointment to me . i do not recommend this movie but i do recommend the first two ( bourne identity and bourne supremacy ) and i most definitely recommend read the three book ( which be much different then the movie ) . | 0neg |
user who have rat this movie so highly simply can not have see enough good film to compare it with . have they all be brainwash . i have rarely felt so disappointed by a film and some of that must be attributable to the ridiculous hype surround this movie . from the first and bu be just a chase film . we pick it up at the end of one chase and go straight into another . and another . and another . and another . do you see a pattern emerge . there be virtually no time waste on plot and character development and or bore old reality . if you haven not see the other two bourne film and youre pretty lose . if you have you only wish you be lose somewhere a long way from a cinema . paul greengrass dispassionate style work exceptionally well on united 93 which be a sentiment overload desperate to happen and but on bourne and his interminable woe it just have the effect of remove the audience from involvement with the character . he run . he jump . he punch . he get blow up . he clear tall building . yada yada yada . above all he survive . he survive like a plastic action man survives and which only make the ridiculous stunt he pull all the more slack and lack in any kind of tension . so he drive off a building . so what . he will survive . yawn . there a girl throw into the mix because bourne love interest die in a previous incarnation and but she just decor . i have see more character depth and snappy dialogue in episode of captain scarlet . bourne own journey of literal self discovery be dull and formless and tell u nothing we do not know from the first movie . he be turn into a killing machine . big deal . he find out his true identity . so what . it doesn not have any emotional resonance when it come . the twist end be telegraph and weak . oh and dear and the more i think about this film the more i hate it . i have already reduce my score to 4 during the writing of this comment . i would better end now before the slide continue . i love a good action flick and i love a good thriller . the bourne ultimatum be neither . it a loud and tedious series of flashy edits and ridiculous sound effect and cartoon violence . the idea that it hows the way to the bond franchise be utter crap . casino royale blow it out of the water . | 0neg |
macy and ullman and sutherland be as great a usual . ritter wasn not bad either . what her name be as pretty a usual . it could have be a good movie . to bad the plot be atrocious . it be completely predictable and trite and boring . from the first 15 minute and the rest of the movie be lay out like a child paint by number routine . the character be stock piece of cut out cardboard . there be nothing new or interesting to say and that completely outweigh the acting and which be a pity . finally and too bad the script writer wasn not the victim . especially with the precocious line from the child and which be completely unbelievable . again and it only the acting that prevent a much low score . | 0neg |
undeveloped or unbelievable story line and ( by the time i sort of figure out where it be go and i no longer care ) bad casting . ( come on . william macy a a hit man . ) bad directing and ( have you ever see tracey ullman perform so badly . ) ( be i suppose to care what happen to the unethical incompetent and uncaring john ritter character . ) bad script . ( really and i be not look for a formula script but this be really awful ) the only really good thing in it be the kid . ten line . it not ok if your comment be less than ten line . come on whose rule be those . why can not i say what i have to say in less than 10 line . isn not that kind of arbitrary . why isn not it ok to have less than 10 line of comment . | 0neg |
i watch this movie and and hop for something to get good the entire time . what be so great about a guy with no emotion . yawnyou never see alex show emotion for anyone other than his son . yeah and i know that this be why his son be the only one to cause him to lose his temper ( if you can call it that ) and i get it . character be undeveloped and relationship aren not give enough time to be understood . in one scene sarah say they would not fall in love and and the next time we see her she talk about how his death really shake her up because they be so close . logic synapsis abound in this film . it like someone watch boogie night and write this part to mimic little bill . even the scene where he lose his temper be the same a when little bill shoot his wife and down to the facial expression ( or lack thereof ) . yes and william h. macy be good at portray a man without emotion be there and do that can you say magnolia . this movie do not only lack emotion and it lack substance and a good script and develop character and and a plot . and it certainly lack my recommendation . positive . ~a~ . | 0neg |
i can not believe this woodenly write and direct piece of cliche film get make . there be about four good look shot ( the director should think about switch to still photography ) and that it . a strong cast be utterly waste and scene repeatedly end at the least interesting moment and the script say nothing new . please spare yourself this movie . | 0neg |
some kid be hike in the mountain and and one of them go into a large tunnel and discover some old mummified gladiator . he put on the gladiator helmet and spend the rest of the movie kill all the other hiker . this thing be just so utterly senseless it madden . here a short list of thing that do not make any sense represent1 ) a guy and a girl be in their tent and they think they hear something outside . the guy go out to investigate and find another hiker outside . then he hear his girlfriend scream so they head back to the tent arrive the next morning . he be only 50 foot away . 2 ) these two dunderhead then hear another girl scream ( what and 100 foot away . ) and but do not investigate because theyre afraid they will get lose . 3 ) another guy and a girl be walk around and and in about their 10th scene together the girl inform the guy that due to the circumstance and protocol no longer require him to address her a professor . i mean and what the . first off and that just a really stupid thing to say and secondly he never call her professor in the first nine scene they be in together . 4 ) a wounded girl attack demonicus and he stop her and tell her that part of his gladiator training teach him how to wind without kill . um and yeah and we kinda noticed she wound and not dead because she up and walk around . but and thanks for that tidbit of information . 5 ) one girl be tie up in demonicus lair and and when someone attempt to free her and she instead instruct this person to go and get help . um and look and idiot and if she set you free and which would take about 5 second and there would be no need to get help . and it just go on and on . the whole middle part of the movie be spend with the two idiot get lose in the wood and then they fight and then they pitch a tent and ignore the scream of their friend and then they wander around some more . it just so damned boring and pointless that i turn the dvd off halfway through . none of these character be sympathetic and especially the one that get the majority of the screen time . demonicus himself make me laugh out loud every time i saw him he look like a kid in a halloween costume and scrunch his face up to look evil . he run and or should i say scamper around like he gay . the special effect be comedic and the acting be for the most part awful and and nothing make any sense . overall and maybe this concept could have produce an enjoyably campy film if they put some more time and effort into it and get rid of the ludicrous dialogue and create character with actual likable personality and have some sort of logical flow to the action and and maybe even make demonicus a female character in a sexy gladiator outfit . but no and instead we get this senseless pile of nonsense that will bore you to death . | 0neg |
my wife and i like to rent really stupid horror or sci fi movie and watch them with our friend for a laugh . we saw this one on fullmoondirect . com and decide to add it to our netflix list . now and when i say this movie be awful and i mean it in a good way . everything about it and the acting and camera work and story and costume and be just so cheezy and low budget but thats what make it so good . i think in one scene the actor look like they be actually walk in place . i really hope that whoever make this film wasn not serious when they make it because if they be and then that would just be sad . if you like to watch really stupid horror movie just to make fun of them then i recommend this one . | 0neg |
this movie be so awful and it be hard to find the right word to describe it . at first the story be so ridiculous . a narrow minded human can write a good plot . the actor be boring and untalented and perhaps they be compel to play in this cheesy film . the camera reception of the national forest be the only good in this whole movie . i should feel ashame and because i pay for this lousy picture . hopefully nobody make a sequel or make a similar film with such a bad storyline represent ) . | 0neg |
i mean really and how could charles band the head of full moon let a total stink ball like demonicus out . i mean it should never get the green light to begin with . the story be repetitive and the character be weak at best and there be no real story on tyranus other then he a bad dude . then they writer or director go out his way for a bad end . that right a bad end and demonicus rise . the last survivor escape a deadly cave in and then a picture of chimera come to life and cheaply i might add and chase her out . then a she be walk home ala funhouse . a statue that have be destroy century ago reappears for no reason just to collapse on top of her . i mean and that make no sense . what the hell be charles think allow this pile of puke to be make and with four different movie company they be that desperate for movie . they could have ask me and i have well idea then demonicus . thanksgiving turkey . | 0neg |
this movie be about tyrannus and a gladiator who be bring back from the dead to summon tyrannus and a gladiator who must be bring back from the dead . tyrannus and we learn after about an hour and be also call demonicus . this add much need depth to the screenplay and call into question our assumption about identity and psychology and ourselves . the spirit of tyrannus accomplishes his little to do list ( kill some people and say repetitive phrase in latin ) by possess the body of a college guy . he use a magic mind control helmet to do this and which the college boy willingly put on his head and and then at several point in the movie and take off and put back on . maria perform oral sex on a poor man sean willian scott and and tyrannus wear the rollerball glove . tyrannus have his own green backlighting for no reason and and have apparently be sit next to cg fire in an ancient concrete tunnel for century like this . utter misfortune . this movie be empty and will hurt you . see it . | 0neg |
okay and this movie fck in rule . it be without question one of the most technically inept piece of cinema ever make . absolutely terrible and but you get ta see it . rent this with your buddy and come up with a drinking game or just have fun and it hilarious . and the behind the scene featurette prove it and you can do anything with paper plate and finger paint . awesome . okay and rent it just for this one scene represent two character be actually walk in place for about 3 minute in a shot . the director ( on the commentary ) say yeah and the tracking be so smooth it look like theyre . yeah and right man and they be totally walk in place . it so funny . | 0neg |
warn spoiler a really stupid movie about a group of young excursionist in italy that find an armor of mythical warrior with a demonic soul . one of them wear it and becomes possess by the spirit of a demon . it kill time and several of his friend die under his blade to revive the demon corpse . a waste of time for the viewer and a the fine young lady in the movie leave their clothes on and the gore be ludicrous at best and and the acting be terrible and perfect pair for such a bad script . | 0neg |
for some reason and various young couple hike through the italian alp split up to see who can reach their campsite designation first . james ( gregory lee kenyon ) enter a cave and find a skeleton of an ancient demonic gladiator and becomes possess by the spirit of tyranus when he put on a helmet belonging to the corpse . he then spend the rest of the film run around in the wood hunt down his friend and hack off their limb to add to some stew to bring the undead demonicus back to life . this shot on digital full moon release be stupid and senseless and have terrible act and sound and the ( los ) angeles national forest be a poor substitute for italy . however and it pretty high on the unintentional laugh scale thanks mainly to the overwrought lead performance . whether bug eye run around in cheap look armor brandish a sword or spout neurotic latin gibberish about demon and resurrection and kenyon ridiculous facial expression and awkward line delivery must be see to be believe . oh well and at least he not bore like most of the rest of the cast . | 0neg |
this film be exactly what you get when you really over stretch your ability and it like someone who have just pass there drive test and then pit them in a formula 1 grand prix ( not i might add and the u grand prix a everyone might pull out due to dodgy tyre and you might just win ) and that be how far short this film fall . now do not take this the wrong way and i love b movie and around half my collection be make of b movie but i do not think there be enough letter in the alphabet to describe how bad this film be . first of the story ( for a b movie ) isn not that bad and it have potential there to make a b movie brand and be not talk friday 13th potential and but potential none the less . but what really let this film down be the acting and at not one second do i believe anything and it like watch qvc except the presenter on qvc tend to have a heavy tan . in summary i would like to say i have see bad film and but i can not . | 0neg |
i rent this one to see vanesa talor one more time . she can act and but doesn not get a chance in this clunker . the opening sequence be an elaborate crane shot of mountain landscape . must have come from a stock archive and because the movie be shot direct to videotape . the production value make _blair witch_ look professional . there a really cheesy animate statue and but no other effect worth note . this movie be bad and but not amusingly so . the player would do well not to mention it on their resume . | 0neg |
seriously . i just wrap up my first viewing of demonicus and word have fail me . i remember a time when i would see charles band name on a film and my heart would race . he be never a wes craven or a john carpenter . he be a bastion of hope for the little man . the guy whose movie arrive at the video store instead of the multiplex and but they still rock hard than most of the trendy junk we otherwise have to endure . and now . this . a painfully obvious californian walk trail double for the alp and an abandon train tunnel be actually suppose to be an ancient cave . i mean and they do not even try to dress the thing up with moss or film it in a way that might suggest it be anything other than an old train tunnel . ugh . instead of a creepy demon gladiator and a the cover implies and be treat to a dude wear the late in wal mart halloween apparel . there a pretty cool look corpse and who occasionally come to life to belch and wiggle his finger and but he doesn not even learn to stand until the final five minute . why couldn not he be the villain . instead and we have get frat boy joe with a plastic sword . ouch . charles band . you should be ashamed that your name be attach to such tripe . i love movie that be so bad and theyre good . hell and i occasionally enjoy a flick thats so bad and it just bad . this one and however and be just unwatchable . a perfect example of make a buck and rather than make a quality film . | 0neg |
