I love sci-fi and am willing to put up with a lot. Sci-fi movies/TV are usually underfunded, under-appreciated and misunderstood. I tried to like this, I really did, but it is to good TV sci-fi as Babylon 5 is to Star Trek (the original). Silly prosthetics, cheap cardboard sets, stilted dialogues, CG that doesn't match the background, and painfully one-dimensional characters cannot be overcome with a 'sci-fi' setting. (I'm sure there are those of you out there who think Babylon 5 is good sci-fi TV. It's not. It's clichéd and uninspiring.) While US viewers might like emotion and character development, sci-fi is a genre that does not take itself seriously (cf. Star Trek). It may treat important issues, yet not as a serious philosophy. It's really difficult to care about the characters here as they are not simply foolish, just missing a spark of life. Their actions and reactions are wooden and predictable, often painful to watch. The makers of Earth KNOW it's rubbish as they have to always say "Gene Roddenberry's Earth..." otherwise people would not continue watching. Roddenberry's ashes must be turning in their orbit as this dull, cheap, poorly edited (watching it without advert breaks really brings this home) trudging Trabant of a show lumbers into space. Spoiler. So, kill off a main character. And then bring him back as another actor. Jeeez! Dallas all over again. | I love sci-fi and am an avid watcher of the Star Trek shows. I'm also a huge nerd and think that all of the sci-fi movies of the 1950s and 60s (i.e. Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still, 2001: A Space ODyssey) were great Sci-Fi cinema. So imagine my joy when I watched this film as a teenager for the first time! It was my first introduction to Star Trek and was blown-away at the first episode I watched. I've been hooked ever since. I can still remember laughing my way through the original series and watching the movies the | I love sci-fi and am always on the lookout for great sci-fi films so whenever possible, I check out this genre; after seeing "Cult of the Cobra" I am no longer looking for "good" sci-fi films. This is no good and I think the makers of this movie think they have somehow made something good as they take the first sentence of the synopsis to be "The good one"! The premise is that the Earth is no longer habitable, there is no oxygen, a new colony is established on a deserted island, there are only 4 people on it (including the director who also stars in the film) and these characters go around | I love sci-fi and am a huge John Carpenter fan. I rented this on DVD and I was extremely disappointed. I would never have thought a great sci-fi writer like William Gibson would put his name on a story that was so poorly made. This wasn't scary, shocking or even interesting, in fact it was a very slow drawn out waste of 52 minutes of life.<br /><br />The lead actor John Rhys Davies (Dr. Who) did an outstanding job and the music was very creepy, but I still am very disappointed with the story. It just didn't play out for me. It was written by one of the best and this turned | I love sci-fi and am always on the lookout for any film that might be a classic. While most of them focus on some kind of alien invasion I have recently enjoyed some films that I was previously unfamiliar with that did not star aliens but still left me mesmerized.<br /><br />The most memorable of these films is one called "The Thing From Another World", later remade as "The Thing." However I saw the original version first, so my fondness for this film is from its original form. The movie is classic in it's simplicity and focus. It is just a simple tale involving a young group of men, one of which is a woman in | I love sci-fi and am a big fan of the original Star Wars. When I heard this movie was going to be coming out I was very excited but when I saw it I was very disappointed. All the new characters were flat and without depth. Their back stories were just thrown in without any emotional impact. And this was true for all the new people in the movie not just Han Solo. Chewie was totally different and made me mad all throughout the whole movie - why did they change him? I was in awe of the visuals but at the end I felt like the entire movie was just a way to show all the neat visuals they could cram into it. The | I love sci-fi and am interested in what the future holds. This film is so dated, the concept of computers, networks, security, data storage would be considered outdated in an 8th grade lab. The fact that it was from the late 60's really brought to mind the time when all of the space exploration happened. It was like reading a book from 1961. When one considers the real problems that the world confronts and has come across in the past 50 years - terrorism, drugs, crime, social and racial inequities, it does make one realize how far we have advanced. If only our political system had | I love sci-fi and am really pleased at the effort made to present a very realistic picture. This is something I've never seen before in TV / movie, and I'm 40 years old already. But some of the "stars" are really overacting. They're not convincing. One gets the impression that the actors are just doing it for fun. That's why I got the feeling that the producers had to go back to the shooting table to create additional tension. A pity. I'm sure the actors had to fight against it.<br /><br />It was interesting to see how the characters interacted. It was difficult to believe that they could stay | I love sci-fi and am one of those people who grew up in a sci-fi boom where everything great was being put on the screen, books were flying off the shelves and the sci-fi writers were making millions. I can honestly tell you the best book I read was Starship Troopers. It wasn't the only one either, but it was probably the one that made the best impact on me and I was about 13. Since then I read probably dozens of really good sci-fi movies, books, short stories, etc. This movie was the first of the few disappointments, being about fifteen when I saw the movie. I saw it twice actually and | I love sci-fi and am always on the look-out for something fresh and exciting, especially when the film is something which hasn't been done before....<br /><br />This film is a bit disjointed, with some scenes just plodding along when it could have been developing something further.<br /><br />However, all the actors give their all and the special effects are good.<br /><br />I am hoping this is not a one-off film. (There are some hints in the end when they mention being part of a long story, which makes me wonder...)<br /><br />All in all it was nice to watch and was not just | I love sci-fi and am in my 40s but this movie is too dumb to watch. There is a plot. OK. It's hard to say how it's done and there are some scenes that show off the acting abilities of Billy Zane. But overall, it's a waste of movie time. And with that, if I ever had the urge to rent another sci-fi movie to watch, I would certainly have it. I have watched all of them, so that's enough. This one is really too much to stand for. | 0.998925 | 0.000493 | 0.99871 | 0.0005 | 0.000486 | 0.998774 | 0.000499 | 0.002876 | 0.99864 | 0.99566 | I love sci-fi and am | willing to put up with a lot.

Worth the entertainment value of a rental, especially if you like action movies. This one features the usual car chases, fights with the great Van Damme kick style, shooting battles with the 40 shell load shotgun, and even terrorist style bombs. All of this is entertaining and competently handled but there is nothing that really blows you away if you've seen your share before.<br /><br />The plot is made interesting by the inclusion of a rabbit, which is clever but hardly profound. Many of the characters are heavily stereotyped -- the angry veterans, the terrified illegal aliens, the crooked cops, the indifferent feds, the bitchy tough lady station head, the crooked politician, the fat federale who looks like he was typecast as the Mexican in a Hollywood movie from the 1940s. All passably acted but again nothing special.<br /><br />I thought the main villains were pretty well done and fairly well acted. By the end of the movie you certainly knew who the good guys were and weren't. There was an emotional lift as the really bad ones got their just deserts. Very simplistic, but then you weren't expecting Hamlet, right? The only thing I found really annoying was the constant cuts to VDs daughter during the last fight scene.<br /><br />Not bad. Not good. Passable 4. | Worth the entertainment value of its time, not a classic but still enjoyable.<br /><br />The basic story of four boys in an all African-American church on their way to an important baseball game in Chicago.<br /><br />The story isn't deep but it is a good idea how these kids would feel about what is happening to their churches and the adults. Even for today's standards, the story is good for kids.<br /><br />A very young Whoopi Goldberg stars in this. This was her first on film, although maybe she was a bit too young to fully understand the part she is playing and the emotion the characters is supposed to have. | Worth the entertainment value of those 21 minutes that is when you first feel the intensity of this movie. I believe the best portrayal of war that I have seen. This movie will stay with you for a long time. | Worth the entertainment value of watching Tom Hanks over-the-top impersonation of the legendary figure of Captain Ahab. The story-line is a bit predictable but it's a good time. The film is based on a book by the same author who in the film plays the part of Ishael, Moby Dick's lover. I had never heard of this author before until seeing this movie. It was not the book, though, that attracted me to see the movie. I like watching the story of Captain Ahab's hunt for his lost leg, lost in an ill-fated battle at sea, to kill Moby Dick, the whale that sank his ship and | Worth the entertainment value of a few minutes on the T.V. to check out. <br /><br />Good old fashioned comedy where the rich and famous try to make one rich and famous themselves.<br /><br />It looks like a little more of an 80's movie to me.

I think it is a good show for children. What I really appreciate is that there are no crude humour and nothing with any sex. I like how there is just kids from different walks of life living in the same neighborhood. If I have two little daughters, I'll make sure my children watch this show because it offers something that children don't get these days. There is a message for everyone to make the world a better place. It is a heart-warming family show that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. Hopefully there will be a 2nd season. | Worth the entertainment value of the movie and what we do know about his life. Very good acting in the movie.<br /><br />I saw the movie when it went to the theaters 24 years ago and have not found it. This was done for TV and the only copy I can find is for home video.

As an actor whose first film role made him famous a few years later, I'm sure that is a great feeling. The story was a little far-fetched, but at least I didn't fall asleep while I was watching it. This film, with it's story of a young woman with a secret, is very interesting. My personal point of view. | Worth the entertainment value of its premise alone, "Haven't they done this before?" is a delight of a film. It has a nice sense of humor to spare. It moves as fast as it does with wit and flair. One of the very best comedy films ever. It's a shame such quality has fallen by the wayside. The humor is top notch, the pacing just right, the actors are at the top of their game, the story is well conceived. It's just great entertainment. Everyone should see this film, unless they consider themselves too intelligent for this kind of fare (which is a shame, because that isn't the right attitude to | Worth the entertainment value of the story to see what a couple of actors like this must have been like at the beginning of their careers.

its a totally average film with a few semi-alright action sequences that make the plot seem a little better and remind the viewer of the classic van dam films. parts of the plot don't make sense and seem to be added in to use up time. the end plot is that of a very basic type that doesn't leave the viewer guessing and any twists are obvious from the beginning. the end scene with the flask backs don't make sense as they are added in and seem to have little relevance to the history of van dam's character. not really worth watching again, bit disappointed in the end production, even though it is apparent it was shot on a low budget certain shots and sections in the film are of poor directed quality | its a totally average film, I have seen much better of that genre than this.., though it has some good acting and good script it was also totally boring., all in all you can see it if you are free but if your looking for something different or exciting then don't waste your time...and if you have the chance to get this as a freebie on DVDs don't loose it you will be thankful you didn't... | its a totally average film with good actors its not a piece of great cinematic art nor is it a boring average movie that you may find watching on TV...it's just an average movie that you can watch in the theater or on a big tv screen at home as a weekend activity....it has a lot of great actors in it including Jessica Alba which is one of the most wonderful actors of our time...

I hope the actors get another job soon. they will have to compete with the much better cast in the new comedy, wedding crashers. The most surprising thing about this film was its marketing. It's not at all that funny. it was advertised as a romp throughout the film, and I don't see it. it's definitely not funny or raunchy enough for me. you can catch this on Starz, which is a cable network I don't watch often but | its a totally average film about the life and times of an autistic boy who is in his teens, i don't know much about autism, but i have a few people who are autistic and they look at this movie and love it.<br /><br />i love movies like this there just so sweet and it makes me cry i love movies about people who have to deal with the real world and problems in their lives.<br /><br />so i recommend this film. this movie also contains very funny parts.<br /><br />you must have an awesome time watching this 4th grade play with a cast in drag. very funny. | its a totally average film<br /><br />i really dont know what the hell about how this even got made<br /><br />some movies have 30 people involved and they still sucked<br /><br />i like the idea of the movie and the acting was alright<br /><br />i just dont know this movie its just to long there was a long part of nothing just sitting there where they all talk | its a totally average film and the acting is good as long as you do not expect it to be a top notch. i really cant think of a worse film than the one and only "Crap" but there are other bottom ten films i remember so i'll tell you about this one. it has a very weak plot and a weak script but its only average acting and is not the worst i've seen, it really needs something better acting or a better plot to become a bad movie and i don't know how that's possible. you see i really didn't know if it was a comedy or not, i didnt know about any of the characters back story | 0.000488 | 0.000492 | 0.000487 | 0.998207 | 0.998282 | 0.004478 | 0.000485 | 0.998843 | 0.000492 | 0.998802 | its a totally average film | with a few semi-alright action sequences that make the plot seem a little better and remind the viewer of the classic van dam films. parts of the plot don't make sense and seem to be added in to use up time. the end plot is that of a very basic type that doesn't leave the viewer guessing and any twists are obvious from the beginning. the end scene with the flask backs don't make sense as they are added in and seem to have little relevance to the history of van dam's character. not really worth watching again, bit disappointed in the end production, even though it is apparent it was shot on a low budget certain shots and sections in the film are of poor directed quality | [

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />Former New Orleans homicide cop Jack Robideaux (Jean Claude Van Damme) is re-assigned to Columbus, a small but violent town in Mexico to help the police there with their efforts to stop a major heroin smuggling operation into their town. The culprits turn out to be ex-military, lead by former commander Benjamin Meyers (Stephen Lord, otherwise known as Jase from East Enders) who is using a special method he learned in Afghanistan to fight off his opponents. But Jack has a more personal reason for taking him down, that draws the two men into an explosive final showdown where only one will walk away alive.<br /><br />After Until Death, Van Damme appeared to be on a high, showing he could make the best straight to video films in the action market. While that was a far more drama oriented film, with The Shepherd he has returned to the high-kicking, no brainer action that first made him famous and has sadly produced his worst film since Derailed. It's nowhere near as bad as that film, but what I said still stands.<br /><br />A dull, predictable film, with very little in the way of any exciting action. What little there is mainly consists of some limp fight scenes, trying to look cool and trendy with some cheap slo-mo/sped up effects added to them that sadly instead make them look more desperate. Being a Mexican set film, director Isaac Florentine has tried to give the film a Robert Rodriguez/Desperado sort of feel, but this only adds to the desperation.<br /><br />VD gives a particularly uninspired performance and given he's never been a Robert De Niro sort of actor, that can't be good. As the villain, Lord shouldn't expect to leave the beeb anytime soon. He gets little dialogue at the beginning as he struggles to muster an American accent but gets mysteriously better towards the end. All the supporting cast are equally bland, and do nothing to raise the films spirits at all.<br /><br />This is one shepherd that's strayed right from the flock. * | STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />Cillian Murphy is possibly the finest of the British actors working at the moment, and one of the most talented that Hollywood has been able to lure back to our screen since the time of William Powell, Spencer Tracy and Robert Ryan, and if he carries off a number of his projects in the coming months - which they say is inevitable - he could easily have as much, if not more, star power than Sean Connery.<br /><br />In 'City of Angels' he shows that he is as at home on the big screen as he is in | STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />An unremarkable low budget slasher flick that you can pretty much guess what will happen by just looking at the poster.<br /><br />It's one of those movies that won't really do too much wrong - but also isn't going to be too exciting either.<br /><br />It's the type of movie that you watch if you're looking for a bit of fun when you don't feel like doing anything much - but don't really want to be bored either.<br /><br />This film could definitely have had a better cast - | STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />It's often tempting to criticise an actor's career as it plods by, because that's exactly what one can do. It's all in the mind after all isn't it? Take a character a person in their early 20's now at 56, just think, in all those times in between that person's been through all the typical and non-typical life experiences. That person's a victim of child abuse or parental neglect in their younger years or someone who has their head in the dirt and not only takes in their experiences | STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />Tom (Gossett), the 25 year old, has just landed a great job working as a private eye in Miami. There's only one problem...he can't remember anything about his past, or what happened to him. And Tom's been at it for years.<br /><br />He's been in the city for a couple of weeks, but he's not exactly settled in. It's not his fault. He meets a doctor, Claire (Bridges, a blonde in her fifties, the likes of which we | STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />Having seen some of the films in the programme for this year's Berlinale one was led to hope that there would be at least one in the selection that would not only make you think, but also make you feel. At the very least it appeared that many of the films were attempting that, and the jury was even attempting to reward those which did, with every effort going to reward films dealing in issues from AIDS and immigration and the effects of globalisation. <br /><br />Unfortunately it seems that the only feeling this year's film selection brought me | STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />The acting was decent. The acting was good. This movie was funny. I loved the movie. I actually laughed out loud multiple times. The dialog was smart. The plot was funny. The jokes were hilarious. I'm not sure what the problem is with this movie....<br /><br />***Major Spoiler Ahead***<br /><br />The problem is that I haven't laughed so much in quite a long time.

This time around the Bears come to town looking to end both a seven game losing streak and the Vikings winning streak. The Vikings are the odds favorites going in (though are still no favorites) and are led by the returning Adrian Peterson who leads the attack. The Vikings start brightly and it's Mike Thomas (***/4) who gets Minnesota off to a good start, intercepting a Rex Grossman attempt and storming | STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />With the cast of The Office and the story behind how it got made, one may be tempted to watch this docu as a reality documentary on early office life in the 19th Century. But for those who don't get off on that sort of thing; the reality here isn't about the 19th Century or the rise of office life; rather it is about the documentary maker capturing the story of the TV show's development through conversations with the principal characters (i.e the 'talent' on the docu).<br />< | STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night Fever **** Friday Night Lights *** Friday Morning Drama ** Sunday Night Massacre * Monday Morning Blues <br /><br />This is really a show-off of the sort of movie that would play best in the private screening rooms of the film studio bosses who had commissioned it. To call this film an "action movie" is something of a misnomer. The plot is convoluted, and it would be incredibly unbelievable if you didn't know, or couldn't see, the way the plot twists and turns to get the unlikely ending, and the "action" is not the reason for watching it.<br /><br />The two central characters | STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning <br /><br />When you have a great cast like John Cusack, Marisa Tomei and Robert Klein, I don't see the point in releasing any movie like this, ever again.<br /><br />"High Fidelity" could have been amazing, but in the end... just lame. Cusack does a reasonable job, but the script doesn't seem that interesting or original. Marisa Tomei, on the other hand, is a brilliant actress, who could have carried the film on her own.

First off let me say, If you haven't enjoyed a Van Damme movie since bloodsport, you probably will not like this movie. Most of these movies may not have the best plots or best actors but I enjoy these kinds of movies for what they are. This movie is much better than any of the movies the other action guys (Segal and Dolph) have thought about putting out the past few years. Van Damme is good in the movie, the movie is only worth watching to Van Damme fans. It is not as good as Wake of Death (which i highly recommend to anyone of likes Van Damme) or In hell but, in my opinion it's worth watching. It has the same type of feel to it as Nowhere to Run. Good fun stuff! | First off let me say, I've been a huge fan of this series since it first aired in August'07. It had been quite some time since I watched it in 2005 when it first aired, but this weekend I caught up on it again and I was pleased to find that it hadn't lost its bite as I watched it a second time.<br /><br />So how is the show? Well when the show premiered, fans of the show (that was me when I first started watching) thought that the show was going to be a great show. The first five episodes of the series started off rather promisingly, unfortunately when the | First off let me say, this movie has nothing to do with the book, of course you can't help making a few references and in a way it's actually a rather good idea. There are many parts in The Haunting of Hill House that are extremely creepy and even downright horrifying, that's what makes this film a good one, the horror is pretty hard to keep it real in this type of movie.<br /><br />I liked the fact that the film is pretty much a ghost story, I love good ghost stories and even more if they can get you creeped out, you will not get scared. The characters are mostly likable and the film feels | First off let me say, I LOVED This Movie!! I will never forget seeing it as a little kid and I still love it. This movie is one of those where you always want to return to it. The main message of the film is to cherish your friendship and let go of grudges. I believe it should be mandatory for you to know the movie before you actually start your professional wrestling career. The "Raising Hell" theme song is one of the best theme songs ever! It's not just a movie about pro wrestling but it's also about the meaning of life. Although it's not a pro wrestlers film but instead a story you're going | First off let me say, I was not impressed with the plot and story line and was hoping a great deal that this film would live up to being the 'Lord of the Rings' of Chinese cinema, but after a 2 hour wait to get to the theatre I was not even impressed with the visual effects. The movie starts and the first 15 mins or so is shot at the speed of light and is hard to understand. The first few shots make you watch it again but they are really not worth the effort, since the first few minutes of the movie isn't of much help in the whole movie. My advice to any one interested in watching the movie | First off let me say, the only reason I am writing this review is because I have just spent two hours watching a film called 'The Island'. I have to say it was a waste of time, if only not because I was curious and rented it, because of the box, because it is such a big blockbuster and such an "entertainer". I'll tell you why it is such a waste of time<br /><br />1.The acting was absolutely terrible, I know, I've been told that I need to remember the plot for the film to be convincing but that is only if i believe the acting. The acting (though i say with a little | First off let me say, this movie is not a classic, it's not even good! It's a fun movie, and the kids will love it. A fun romantic picture show of the '50's.<br /><br />One thing that stood out for me while I was watching this movie was the love of cars! Just like the Rockford Films movies, cars are what people watch when they have a little extra cash on the side. I mean, who doesn't like cars?<br /><br />It's a great movie to view and has a great soundtrack with some very good music. It doesn't matter how good the movie is on how great | First off let me say, that this movie is a gem that everyone needs to watch to see how great a movie is capable of getting when done the right way. This movie is made on a low budget that even most major studios would die for. It is so gripping in how powerful (but not melodramatic) the message is, you can't help but like this movie as an entertainment value that does work. The acting by the cast is great, and the plot is gripping and interesting. From start to finish you don't know what will happen, and when you find out, you feel the passion of the actors in the emotions you would have if you were | First off let me say, I have the TV show and I never would have gone out of my way to obtain it, but it came on TV the other day (it was one of these movies where it came on the main TV channel and was running all day, i.e. you couldn't really do anything else at the time, but watch it, as good as it was. After seeing the movie I was so excited! I can't believe that I didn't hear of this movie sooner....<br /><br />Well that's my disclaimer to any of you who didn't know of this film's existence. I've seen some really fantastic dramas and comed | First off let me say, "I'm not offended by this film."<br /><br />I saw "Tango and Cash" at the Hollywood Theatre on June 28, 1974. I've seen it every day since. I have the film and I've seen it hundreds of times.<br /><br />A lot of criticism has been made of Kojak and Telly Samosky, who was at first a big disappointment in the film. It was noted on "The Late Show with David Letterman" how much better Telly Samosky was in "Dirty Harry" released that same year. Well, it's true | First off let me say, that as the wife of a professional wrestler, this will undoubtedly be a biased review. However, this movie was a complete waste of my wife's time. All of the female actors in this movie were either average looking or unattractve; the guys were all incredibly weak and the action scenes were laughable. What was even worse was the way some of the "wrestlers" held positions like the superplex, instead of putting their hand's on the guy's shoulder, they would do a half-superplex and it would look like they were holding each other with two fingers. This movie had a horrible ending like so many | 0.998826 | 0.000492 | 0.996228 | 0.998713 | 0.998926 | 0.000495 | 0.000488 | 0.998897 | 0.998925 | 0.998292 | First off let me say, | If you haven't enjoyed a Van Damme movie since bloodsport, you probably will not like this movie.

I had high hopes for this one until they changed the name to 'The Shepherd : Border Patrol, the lamest movie name ever, what was wrong with just 'The Shepherd'. This is a by the numbers action flick that tips its hat at many classic Van Damme films. There is a nice bit of action in a bar which reminded me of hard target and universal soldier but directed with no intensity or flair which is a shame. There is one great line about 'being p*ss drunk and carrying a rabbit' and some OK action scenes let down by the cheapness of it all. A lot of the times the dialogue doesn't match the characters mouth and the stunt men fall down dead a split second before even being shot. The end fight is one of the better Van Damme fights except the Director tries to go a bit too John Woo and fails also introducing flashbacks which no one really cares about just gets in the way of the action which is the whole point of a van Damme film.<br /><br />Not good, not bad, just average generic action. | I had high hopes for a film about a woman from Denmark settling in NYC and dealing with life's challenges, and also capturing life and people in the 1920's, and while having this as its core message the filmmakers didn't quite live up to my expectations. The main character is played ably by the inimitable Katja Sackhoff, an actress I remember fondly for her brief role in the TV series of "The Thorn Birds." Her character is so endearingly simple and so charming in her good-natured, friendly personality.<br /><br />However I found that as the film progressed the emphasis slowly shifted away from | I had high hopes for this as for most of the things I read about it on the internet. I got it for the mere £6 (not much to moan about with those prices) and I'm glad I did.<br /><br />The acting was good when it wasn't supposed to be good and the best moments probably come at the end when I nearly jumped out of my seat with the fear of all the kids falling down. I would watch this a hundred times over when there are days when I don't have the energy to do something too mentally taxing. Not even the most jaded and cynical film watcher could turn off this one. Great. | I had high hopes for this and I don't think I'll ever understand what I just spent my hard earned money and time on! No one can compare with the original and even though I really enjoyed this I can see a few changes could have been made to make it a real classic.<br /><br />I watched this not too long ago on my old VHS and it gave me the chills but not in the way that the original did. I'm talking about some of the songs and some of the costumes. The songs are so cheesy and so corny and the fact that in the original the characters were very believable (albeit campy). For | I had high hopes for "Girlfight" before seeing the movie, based on my understanding of the director's vision and all of the good things I'd heard about the film's subject matter (it is billed as a "true story"). My hopes were not in vain: it has become one of my favorite movies.<br /><br />"Girlfight" stars Michelle Rodriguez as Carla, a young woman still living at home with her controlling father (a great role by Brian Cox, whose fatherly love for Carla can go beyond the pale). Carla is a high school junior interested in kick-boxing as a new hobby, at her father's insistence; she is | I had high hopes for this film, but was greatly dissapointed. I wanted to see the director try to tackle some real issues and deal with them in a way that was authentic, but it seemed as the director put little thought into it. The characters were weak. Many of his previous films were very well thought out, with great character development. It was nice to see him finally break through the 8mm mold, but this effort falls short. It was a nice look into the lives of modern teens in the 21st century, but nothing new. It was no better then most soap operas and not much better then the film "The | I had high hopes for this film after seeing some of the excellent work of previous "writers-of-the-week" on "Smallville". I thought that this would be a very interesting and well handled psychological thriller. The first fifteen minutes of the film are indeed compelling. But after that it takes a back seat to the main plot. I felt the writer could've done much better with the character of Lex's friend, or maybe not even have that in there and just concentrated on the mind of Lex instead. The whole scene of the asylum with him dressed in the hospital gown and all is very well done. I have to say that his acting in those scenes was truly | I had high hopes for "The Order" but it was not to be. The film centers around this secret Vatican order in the 70s which works to combat Satanism. Michael Madsen plays the lead, an aspiring journalist who is sent to investigate the order. It's really not too exciting and has much more action than your average faith-based film but that's where the similarities end.<br /><br />You'll need good faith that this film is accurate (though unlikely) to watch it through. Also, you'll be happy to find out you probably won't be seeing Madsen sporting much of an accent (at least in all of | I had high hopes for this film and was greatly let down. I can honestly say that I've seen some pretty bad movies in my time and this stands out as the number one on the list in the "I can't believe I paid good money to see this" category.<br /><br />The plot? Well, a bunch of friends take a trip to England and try out a strange, apparently uncharted road. They end up in a large, empty estate in the middle of nowhere being chased by a bunch of rednecks.<br /><br />I will start with the good points of the film. The acting is excellent. This is some of | I had high hopes for this movie when reading the plot summary but I soon got so lost that I wanted to get my money back. I had to watch the movie many times to even half understand it. The title comes from the last line of the film when the man says to his brother 'I am not a ghost I am a vampire'. The title and idea really have nothing to do with the plot. The whole movie seemed like two totally unrelated movies joined together. The first 40-50 mins show a vampire (the vampire son of the brother in the back cover). He kills a bunch of people, one of them is the brothers girl, | I had high hopes for this film considering John Cusack was in it. I guess he wasn't enough. I'd rather watch "Sister, Sister" than this film. I was surprised at the lack of supporting cast. My husband had high hopes for this film as well. He went so far as to recommend it to people on the phone (bad move). This movie is a bore! The only thing I remember about this film was the fact that I felt like I watched it, and then it was over and it wasn't good.

Isaac Florentine has made some of the best western Martial Arts action movies ever produced. In particular US Seals 2, Cold Harvest, Special Forces and Undisputed 2 are all action classics. You can tell Isaac has a real passion for the genre and his films are always eventful, creative and sharp affairs, with some of the best fight sequences an action fan could hope for. In particular he has found a muse with Scott Adkins, as talented an actor and action performer as you could hope for. This is borne out with Special Forces and Undisputed 2, but unfortunately The Shepherd just doesn't live up to their abilities.<br /><br />There is no doubt that JCVD looks better here fight-wise than he has done in years, especially in the fight he has (for pretty much no reason) in a prison cell, and in the final showdown with Scott, but look in his eyes. JCVD seems to be dead inside. There's nothing in his eyes at all. It's like he just doesn't care about anything throughout the whole film. And this is the leading man.<br /><br />There are other dodgy aspects to the film, script-wise and visually, but the main problem is that you are utterly unable to empathise with the hero of the film. A genuine shame as I know we all wanted this film to be as special as it genuinely could have been. There are some good bits, mostly the action scenes themselves. This film had a terrific director and action choreographer, and an awesome opponent for JCVD to face down. This could have been the one to bring the veteran action star back up to scratch in the balls-out action movie stakes.<br /><br />Sincerely a shame that this didn't happen. | Isaac Florentine has made some interesting movies about characters from this era of Spanish history. But this film is way over the top in the whole character aspect and leaves little to the imagination. The characters are like they would be portrayed by a high schooler, although I love good old fashioned morality in movies this is not the time to make them all seem so simple. The Spanish inquisition is a good story with complex characters but it seems like there is only good people vs. bad people who are all one dimensional. But I will say this movie is fairly interesting if you can get past that little bias that you might be thinking of the characters. | Isaac Florentine has made some outstandingly good and entertaining movie's, such as Cat People and The Vampire. The Devil's Experiment doesn't exactly live up to these, though it's definitely the best of his work I've seen.<br /><br />A group of scientists (including the always awesome and sexy Elizabeth Berkley) have gone to remote island of Malta for an experiment on genetic engineering. However things are not quite as they seem and a dark fate soon awaits anyone unfortunate enough to be there...<br /><br />There's a strong occult air with the movie, which definitely makes it feel like a little bit of a throw back to the Gothic horror movies | Isaac Florentine has made some truly excellent films and some pretty horrendous films, but this has to be right up there with his best work. The premise is simple; a pair of criminals (Ned Kelly and Joe Byrne) accidentally shoot Joe's brother in the back and they attempt to flee the scene. What ensues is an incredibly thrilling chase sequence that will have you glued to your seat and biting your nails.<br /><br />The acting is great, the dialog is tight and the fight sequences are spectacular. This film is a must for all movie lovers; it's an exciting look at a unique period of Australian history and it gives you a unique insight into | Isaac Florentine has made some films from the American Civil War that aren't very good (e.g. "Brotherhood Of War", "Red Rose State"), but "The Last Light Of The Frontier" is easily the best, in fact the finest, of them to date. Set on that war's eastern theatre, it concentrates on the relationship between two young men from competing Union families. At first they have to struggle against the laws of the land, and later as friends to each other, as they go their separate, even opposing, ways in a strange age of the coming death. The two leads do a good job, especially the 19 year old | Isaac Florentine has made some interesting, experimental and visually arresting pictures over the years. His 2003 film, "Lili Marleen," featured a strong performance by Gretchen Mol in the title role, and some interesting and beautiful cinematography. Florentine also directed "The Long Good Friday," an interesting film about a small group of Irish Catholic criminals during the IRA's most active time (roughly 1970-1974).<br /><br />This film, "Love Crimes," has had only a limited release, so I watched it on DVD. The film has a very experimental look to it, and the direction | Isaac Florentine has made some of the best films about the Black experience not only in London, but England as well. These films are not only very good but they are very good because they are so truthful. They do not make up and they do not over dramatise the things that happen in Black and White London. Their films are so realistic therefore most people can identify with them. That is how it is for 'Nigh Boat,' although its not an original film. The story is very much like Oliver Twist but it is set in the modern era rather than Victorian England. The film also has the same spirit and that is why it is good. The film | Isaac Florentine has made some really odd things, but only one film that I would call "unconventional" would be his THE BANISHED (the other is his bizarre THE VIOLENT BROTHERHOOD (1966), which is probably only known to people in its English title THE KILLERS, the name this very different Italian production was sold under in some places). Unconventional it is, though, and it's hard to imagine another film so much of a different tonal quality, in terms of its mood, direction and content, than the great GHOST TRAIN (1978). As for the tone, | Isaac Florentine has made some truly horrible movie, and yet he never fails to surprise. This one is a mixture of different genres like western, gangster and thriller. The story is about a young woman whose only friend and father is killed by another man. She's out to revenge and along comes a tough man that will help her on her journey for revenge. The way she kills her enemies is extremely gory and the soundtrack is even more gory, and the killer is one of the most terrifying killer in film history, but, don't let me fool you. It's the best movie from him to date, but still pretty bad. | Isaac Florentine has made some of the best British comedy and drama films of all time. But when it comes to childrens films he seems to have come to grief. This is no exception. I would have voted 3 if possible.<br /><br />The humour is stale and contrived. How a little boy can be so cruel and hard hearted I don't know. Perhaps that is the message, children can be cruel. Too true but too sad to take on a family film.<br /><br />The best bit is the ending but it is really rather a let down. The film just finishes with this - and that's all folks. No resolution | Isaac Florentine has made some truly awful movies in the past, this being one of them. And I was actually kind of surprised it got distribution. It's like watching old college kids on a bender for the movie, except that here it looks as if their high times are the movie. It's a cheap looking, poorly scripted, poorly acted mess of a movie where 3 idiots (who get the girls but are still morons in every other way) get a new flatmate, an ex-cop who is now an alcoholic, and after 4 minutes of film, the "plot" kicks in. We learn that he knows the main target of an | 0.000491 | 0.000485 | 0.000603 | 0.99869 | 0.998937 | 0.998908 | 0.998689 | 0.998914 | 0.998389 | 0.002212 | Isaac Florentine has made some | of the best western Martial Arts action movies ever produced.

It actually pains me to say it, but this movie was horrible on every level. The blame does not lie entirely with Van Damme as you can see he tried his best, but let's face it, he's almost fifty, how much more can you ask of him? I find it so hard to believe that the same people who put together Undisputed 2; arguably the best (western) martial arts movie in years, created this. Everything from the plot, to the dialog, to the editing, to the overall acting was just horribly put together and in many cases outright boring and nonsensical. Scott Adkins who's fight scenes seemed more like a demo reel, was also terribly underused and not even the main villain which is such a shame because 1) He is more than capable of playing that role and 2) The actual main villain was not only not intimidating at all but also quite annoying. Again, not blaming Van Damme. I will always be a fan, but avoid this one. | It actually pains me to be writing this comment. I am from a generation of people who know what it felt like to watch the first show from 1957. I still remember those old black and white photos on our television of man in his spacesuit, floating in orbit 250 miles above our planet and saying how that momentous occasion was. We can still imagine the sense of exstasy that came with the mission of a new rocket called the Saturn V.<br /><br />That moment of freedom, of exploring the great unknown and of the unutterable exultation of man breaking into space - that was what all those of us | It actually pains me to write this much about this movie. I know it was a box office flop and some critics called it awful but this movie is awesome, and I'll try to explain.<br /><br />I don't like to compare movies because it's really unfair to movies like this one but the only things I can think of that are really in the same league as this one are A Space Odyssey and the original Star Wars, which isn't to be confused with the new crap that's been trying to cash in on the original.<br /><br />The movie is great. There is no violence, the special effects are really good, especially now with | It actually pains me to write this. I love B-Movies in general and Horror Movies in particular. As such I had high hopes for this movie, given the premise. I actually started watching it half expecting there to be some hidden subtext, some more profound message, that all good B-Movies have. Sadly, that was not the case. My disappointment was also in part because this wasn't a B-Movie at all, really, despite being shot on a shoestring. I mean, while some of the characters did make me chuckle, it failed to deliver the full 90-minute horror (at least the kind of horror that I expect | It actually pains me to have to spend my precious time of life writing these comments. But there are a few films from the last decade that make me want to have a word with the people behind them. How can I explain my anger? They obviously had a budget. They had the same amount of money that most films in the country have. And they gave it all to this thing. A film that doesn't know what it wants to be. I'm sorry, I don't look down on comedies...well maybe a bit, but a story can be funny and still be meaningful and well-made. This was not at all funny and it went on for | It actually pains me to write as I know most people out there will hate this movie. They will think "Oh my god, it was so terrible how could they have made this movie after that original masterpiece?" But I'm here to say, that it really was that bad. I can't figure out why a sequel needed to be made or why the first one was made really, as this was one of the most awful and retarded movies I have ever seen. I wanted to hate it cause it made 25 million dollars, and when that happens I generally think it will be crappy, but this film...just about all the reviews for the movie I saw | It actually pains me to write such a scathing review of this picture when in an idealized world, this picture would be as well-loved as films like "Tender Mercies," "Dead Poets Society," and "Field Of Dreams." In such a world this picture would have been given at least a 8.5. So, it's really only appropriate to write a "professional" review here in that when such a movie hits theaters, I'm compelled to warn people not to see it because the film just isn't worth the price of admission. In fact, it won't even withstand the test of time. The script of the film is | It actually pains me to go on like this about this ridiculous film. In the past I've always tried to say something positive about bad films as it means that the reviewer is not snobby. I don't know how else to explain someone who can trounce over a film this bad, so I might well just be snobby, but I don't think so.<br /><br />Some posters mention that it was good to have a decent gay role model for their children. What is with this idea that the only gay role model they ever see is that of a man in a bed with another man. What about the gay guys who love girls or the ones | It actually pains me to see this show getting such bad reviews. I was lucky enough to catch a few episodes on cable in the early showings but have since managed to track it down and watch all 44 shows. <br /><br />The pilot was actually a bit slow and I would have enjoyed the show a bit more had they not stretched out the first episode for 2 hours but everything else was excellent.<br /><br />The character development was superb and they managed to get past most of the stereotypes associated with the genre. The leads in both the "Homicide Squad" and "General" were perfect for their roles.<br /><br | It actually pains me to write this because it's something a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. It's so easy to forget that it's a bad movie. For some reason I still like to tell people about the guy who is the head of the zombie gang- yes the one with the little black spot on his nose and the guy with the black wig. I know in some ways it's better to forget why you like something but it's just so funny. It is very funny and I can't help it.<br /><br />I am not a zombie movie expert. I just remember thinking as a kid that when someone did decide to make a zombie | It actually pains me to say it, but I've watched some of 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's' episodes many times and can barely stand to watch the others. There is no redeeming qualities to the show, as far as I'm concerned. Every character, even the evil ones, is absolutely 100% perfect and friendly. I found the stories (i.e. conflicts) in the show to be incredibly unrealistic and as clichéd as you can get. And on top of that, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic's main characters are just soooo annoying.

Technically I'am a Van Damme Fan, or I was. this movie is so bad that I hated myself for wasting those 90 minutes. Do not let the name Isaac Florentine (Undisputed II) fool you, I had big hopes for this one, depending on what I saw in (Undisputed II), man.. was I wrong ??! all action fans wanted a big comeback for the classic action hero, but i guess we wont be able to see that soon, as our hero keep coming with those (going -to-a-border - far-away-town-and -kill -the-bad-guys- than-comeback- home) movies I mean for God's sake, we are in 2008, and they insist on doing those disappointing movies on every level. Why ??!!! Do your self a favor, skip it.. seriously. | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan, and although the plot of this movie was very dumb, the fight scenes where very well done and it was nice to see Van Damme playing another kind of movie, cause usually he plays martial arts heroes, and this time i think he played more of a comedy movie, it was great to see him laughing and jokes, this made him look better as a movie, because usually he seems very serious in every movie he does, but this time he didn't showed this hard side of him, he showed his humor, that is great to see because this type of movies that have action and comedy well done in it tend to succeed very | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan. My favorite and favorite favorite movie was the original "Van Damme" movie. His first one - which made him a star. This one I haven't seen till he was in his prime in the mid to late 80s and early 90s. I always thought that his fighting in this was better than his other movies. So I got to see it on video just recently after hearing it was one of his better later pictures.<br /><br />Well, Van Damme as always has a good kick butt performance as the lone hero in the old west. He is the only one brave and tough enough to | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan, and when I was looking for the next movie this was it. I couldn't believe the high rating it got here, because I felt very disappointed.<br /><br />First, the script is pretty cliché, especially the end, and the fact that it has an evil brother is not very original. The film itself is not very spectacular. In one moment, Van Damme and two other men fight on the ground. We see the fight for about 30 seconds, the scene being quite nice. Van Damme kicks 3 or 4 times and makes a sort of somersault. But when the third guy | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan. I had watched him in 'Stuntman'. I watched this movie and was really bored while watching it. It also seemed that it was a poorly made movie which was a bit of a downer from a 1980s action flick. In the movie VanDamme plays a reporter or somethin like that who comes to Hong Kong to cover the Triads war. He meets up with the beautiful and mysterious Lin (Jeanne Cagney, the most famous female of the American musicals of the late 40s and early 1950s). Anyway they team up for an investigation | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan , not for many of his roles , I believe they all suck. This one actually doesn't even suck... it's more the low key it is that I like. I like watching the man that has a very obvious but still kinda underplayed style perform. But I can see why a lot of people hate this movie. The story is incredibly simple and it's very much a movie that you can 'get' when you watch it. However, a lot of plot holes that could be expected when having to fill in the gaps to give the film more substance are just missing. It is this however that makes the movie great though. | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan and even if I didn't like this movie for what it was meant to be it still has enough action to make you like it for that. I mean it's still a Van Damme's movie at the end of the day right? The only thing I wasn't keen on was that I just didn't believe the plot enough. But hey it was a Van Damme movie so who are we to say no, right? All in all it's an enjoyable Van Damme flick filled with the usual Van Damme type of action sequences that will keep you hooked till the end. And when the bad guy tries to win by trick | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan though. I loved Kickboxer.<br /><br />Now, let's talk about this. First of all the action, there's a lot of it, a LOT of it. Now lets discuss how good the effects are. Oh man, you better believe in those green screen things, and Van Damme did an outstanding job in making this look like it could of happened. But it didn't.<br /><br />He also did an excellent job in portraying a man trying to survive against a bunch of mad criminals. The movie was about one man getting his revenge, and getting it at a time, by outwitting | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan for his amazing action films and his acting too, but one has to be very special to have the power to make this film as good as it seems to be. I enjoyed every single bit about it and to tell the truth, I'm a big fan about martial arts and I was even really surprised to see the amazing fights and stunts that the actors had in the movie, especially Van Damme. I can say that it is an amazing film in every single way, the direction is amazing, the casting is perfect and, of course, it is funny as hell. And this is the first time I see this film and I | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan, when I saw that this movie had become available, i tried to watch it three times at least, but after that I could really not stand it anymore, it made me ill, with almost all of his movies you can see some funny parts but in this one there is no way for that to happen!<br /><br />The storyline is pretty good and it is also good to look at all the guns & tanks in this movie, Van Damme is also a good actor, but in this film he makes nothing good of it and all the so called other actors should better leave it to other actors!!!<br /><br /> | Technically I'am a Van Damme fan, but my opinion of him is limited to the Van Damme in the 80's, he just didn't have the time to build his career.<br /><br />This movie is just plain dull and boring, and the only reason why I bought it, because of Ving's performance, the storyline is pretty stupid. So if you want a mindless action flick with mediocre acting but plenty of gunplay I'am all right with it.

Honestly awful film, bad editing, awful lighting, dire dialog and scrappy screenplay.<br /><br />The lighting at is so bad there's moments you can't even see what's going on, I even tried to playing with the contrast and brightness so I could see something but that didn't help.<br /><br />They must have found the script in a bin, the character development is just as awful and while you hardly expect much from a Jean-Claude Van Damme film this one manages to hit an all time low. You can't even laugh at the cheesy'ness.<br /><br />The directing and editing are also terrible, the whole film follows an extremely tired routine and fails at every turn as it bumbles through the plot that is so weak it's just unreal.<br /><br />There's not a lot else to say other than it's really bad and nothing like Jean-Claude Van Damme's earlier work which you could enjoy.<br /><br />Avoid like the plaque, frankly words fail me in condemning this "film". | Honestly awful film, bad editing, bad camera work, bad acting, bad script. The whole film moves at such a slow pace that you cant understand what's happening with the main characters. The plot moves at such a slow pace that the plot itself is lost, and most of the time you are watching the director trying to show the main characters, who are supposed to have a relationship, but there isn't one.<br /><br />A major problem with the plot is that it feels like the director is trying to portray what he considers "sensible" people as criminals, while portraying the rest of the main characters, whom the director considers "rascals", as | Honestly awful film, bad editing, bad camera-work, bad sound, bad acting.<br /><br />I got this film from a sale because it was labelled "Fright Film" and I thought it was going to be a good slasher flick. It turned out not to be any of the above. The plot has a female doctor being killed because she discovered a woman killed her father. I can see this in the way they show an innocent doctor getting killed by the police, which is what I thought was going to happen. But then the movie changes tack and becomes completely a thriller when the police do discover the female doctor, played by Betsy Palmer, is innocent | Honestly awful film, bad editing, stupid acting. You know, I love the genre of comedy and especially like Woody Allen's films and this was his first film in many years and in all respects was an embarrassment.<br /><br />In fact for me if he didn't pull the plug on the film and try to re-release the film to all cinemas, I'd have to ask for a full refund of my £3.00 and give the film 9 stars.<br /><br />I'm not sure if I'm going to have any need for a new DVD in the future, maybe just to let down to 10 stars so that I can watch | Honestly awful film, bad editing, bad casting and bad script. This will make the viewer want to give up filmmaking. To anyone who says that film is dead, I think that this film is still being directed, acted and edited. A very small project but is just so awful that it pains this viewer. I saw this when it was first released in 1975 and still haven't seen anything like it. For those who do see it again, this film was never a horror film in the true sense of the word. This film was much more a comedy (although not a funny one). The most horrifying thing this viewer can think of after this film | Honestly awful film, bad editing, terrible special effects, the acting is beyond amateur, the script has continuity errors, the costumes look like what you make with a bunch of construction paper and glue, and the music...just listen to the credits...it's all you could ever hear over the terrible film making, and I know you'll agree with me that when the music isn't right it can either make or break a film.<br /><br />I have to say that I actually like some bad films...Cult classics are usually bad films, but this is NOT a cult classic. If i was a high school student and could get away with making this film, I | Honestly awful film, bad editing, bad acting (except for Peter Falk) and really bad directing - it's too long, and seems more like a TV show trying to be a feature. Peter Falk and some of the other actors in this film are absolutely hilarious. Don't waste your time watching this film - you don't get much in the time it takes to watch it.<br /><br />Peter Falk really shines in the film, with a few of his very amusing moments that you won't forget: a time when his wife (Mara) calls him and asks him what his plans for the weekend are, and Falk says `Ahh - just a bit of | Honestly awful film, bad editing, slow pacing and poor acting, with a poorly developed central character. It's a wonder that the film didn't crash and burn with the release, but thankfully, the film isn't as bad as it could have been. I've seen worse films of late, but this film makes 1986's "The Long Kiss Goodnight" look like the better of the film, of the two at least. Still, there were a few decent things about the film, but for the most part, the film is awful at best, and the worst part of the film, the ending, is pure crap. It is one of the | Honestly awful film, bad editing, bad acting, bad sound, bad dialog, bad script. Not a single redeeming quality in this movie, not even one good or interesting bit to be had. I am still scratching my head as to how this film manages to be on DVD. Perhaps it is because it has a cultish devoted fan base that can't stop themselves from making a film that has so many flaws. Or perhaps people who have never heard of this film will not be able to avoid watching it because they will not find it listed anywhere, and instead you must find some obscure corner of Amazon.com or the internet to see it. A real waste of film and | Honestly awful film, bad editing, terrible special effects and a dreadful story. The movie also uses a ridiculous name for its alien creature, "Cyber-Gorgon". This movie does not resemble any of the other Alien Nation films in any way. Its also not based on the earlier film, it uses the other series as just an excuse to show the film-makers money. There are too many scenes of people being shot by other people, which has little to do with the plot. The music was horrendous and made no sense at all. The creature looked like a human creature, not an alien. Even worse, is in human form it never talks or shows any emotion | Honestly awful film, bad editing, bad script, bad everything. The plot is a typical 'man turned evil by drugs, and is trying to get revenge on the dealers' and it does not do justice to the potential of such a 'big idea'. A decent idea ruined by amateur script writers and director. If they were only after money, this film makes a lot of that money. But as a whole, it's a mess.

This flick is a waste of time.I expect from an action movie to have more than 2 explosions and some shooting.Van Damme's acting is awful. He never was much of an actor, but here it is worse.He was definitely better in his earlier movies. His screenplay part for the whole movie was probably not more than one page of stupid nonsense one liners.The whole dialog in the film is a disaster, same as the plot.The title "The Shepherd" makes no sense. Why didn't they just call it "Border patrol"? The fighting scenes could have been better, but either they weren't able to afford it, or the fighting choreographer was suffering from lack of ideas.This is a cheap low type of action cinema. | This flick is a waste of time. It's all right watching for the comedy but the comedy isn't there. The guy who plays "Papa" (sorry I don't remember his name) did a great job and everyone else did a fine job and the cinematography is great. There are quite a few people I've met over the years who have seen this movie and have given me their personal opinions and it's always the same thing. There is a lot of great and funny dialog that is worth watching just because the lines are so funny but the main character (Cleavon Little) is a jerk and a drunk but he is not funny.< | This flick is a waste of time.<br /><br />Not only does the script suck, it also drags. It is supposed to be a horror movie, so it should have been at least scary and atmospheric, but this movie does not even try to be that.

I remember how I was shocked by the "Panic Baby" in the seventies....a horror movie, but the acting of | This flick is a waste of time and energy. It lacks good cinematography and the sound of the film was all over the place. All the lines were corny and the film had no meaning. I was expecting a good film, but got very very poor. I wouldn't suggest anyone to even watch this.<br /><br />The actors in this film were the only good elements. They tried to do their best in a tough situation. If only the makers of the film had put better effort things may have been better but alas.<br /><br />I rate this 1/10. | This flick is a waste of time and of our precious energy (for a change I haven't been watching some mind-numbing reality TV or a movie at three in the morning!!). The only thing you'll notice about this film are a handful of things which are so far out of the ordinary you may be able to call the things that you're paying attention to unique. But the fact is that those elements are few and far between (like how the girl and the boy look). How these things tie into the rest of the film's plot, I have no idea.<br /><br />It is really no surprise when you see what actors are in this movie | This flick is a waste of every minute of your life. The first hour of the film is one of the worst of its kind ever made, a shameless adaptation of every cliché in the genre. "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is a good example of an excellent parody of the same genre (so much so that I got confused as to whether that's what I was watching in the beginning of this movie). In the film, the two best acting jobs go to Jim Broadbent and Stephen Fry. The best scene? Definitely the one in which the two guys are trying to get a girl (who obviously, like the filmmakers before | This flick is a waste of time, unless you're into watching very young (or somewhat less, but you know how old the actor is), 120 lb. females doing strippers jobs - in which case this flick is a must. The only thing new is how long it takes to get the "full" shot of the girls - like 27 minutes - the same amount of time in the full-length picture, but that way you at least get some action when you don't feel guilty about seeing the boobies.<br /><br />So, the good is it shows how a normal household spends some days in an amusement park - this is | This flick is a waste of about 90 minutes of your time. I thought this came out in 2005, but after seeing the age of the children (maybe around 5?) and the fact that they had haircuts, I figure that it's around 1985. Very corny. A little overdone with the father that is out of his head. I really wished that I hadn't seen this. I can't believe that these are children. Very corny ending. I really can't believe the rating is this high. 1 out of 10 for me. I can't even believe the movie. | This flick is a waste of my time. I really don't get the point of it, but I have to admit that it is very well made. The acting was average, but the music and effects were fantastic. In a perfect world this flick would have gotten a "9", but a "7.5" is the best it can get. The plot and themes are just too bad, in a world where we don't have 64oz cups, and where we have "Friends" running at the same time as "Blade Runner", I don't think there is any reason for this flick to exist. | This flick is a waste of 80 minutes of your life. But still, I like all the actors, and they should stop making this kind of rubbish. I think Robert Englund is perfect in "Hellraiser" role (for example) but he should give up on more of those boring TV-movies. They have no horror and they have no suspense. There is not even a single scene or any moment that makes the viewer feel scared just "I do not want to see this film anymore!"<br /><br />In some of the TV-movies, like this one, actors try to do good or to act the character as well as | 0.000507 | 0.000493 | 0.000558 | 0.000484 | 0.000492 | 0.000488 | 0.000489 | 0.000589 | 0.000805 | 0.000496 | This flick is a waste | of time.I expect from an action movie to have more than 2 explosions and some shooting.Van Damme's acting is awful.

Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), was a decent film, but I have a few issues with this film. First of all, I don't fault the actors in this film at all, but more or less, I have a problem with the script. Also, I understand that this film was made in the 1930's and people were looking to escape reality, but the script made Ann Sothern's character look weak. She kept going back and forth between suitors and I felt as though she should have stayed with Paul Kelly's character in the end. He truly did care about her and her family and would have done anything for her and he did by giving her up in the end to fickle Neil Hamilton who in my opinion was only out for a good time. Paul Kelly's character, although a workaholic was a man of integrity and truly loved Kitty (Ann Sothern) as opposed to Neil Hamilton, while he did like her a lot, I didn't see the depth of love that he had for her character. The production values were great, but the script could have used a little work. | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), a short but effective crime thriller, is a good look at the film-noir genre. The movie was directed by John G. Blystone and written by Norman Panama, based on a story by Alexander Key. The film has an excellent cast who all do excellent work. It's clear that their enthusiasm for the film was apparent. In the film, Peter Lorre plays his famous character "Mr. Moto", who is assigned to track down a killer from Nazi Germany who escaped from an army prison camp. It was obvious to this reviewer that the film crew tried to make an all out effort in the filming of this movie.<br />< | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), directed by M.A.Simms, is a film that is often overshadowed by the first films of its director and stars, The Public Enemy (1931) and The Scarface Mob (1932). Blind Date is not a bad film by a long shot however, it's often looked under with its prequel; but it's definitely worth seeing as it holds its own.<br /><br />This film sees James Cagney (Gordon MacPhail) being let out of a long prison sentence. He's being transported back to the States, by way of South America and he's being watched by | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), an early work from Michael Curtiz, stars William Powell and Salka Viertle as a couple drawn together in the most intriguing and unusual way: They meet, only to be drawn together again while blindfolded and handcuffed by an ex-lawyer. The film's screenplay was by Walter Rehm and Curtiss Harris, a team who earlier had worked with Curtiz on what would become a classic crime drama, The Raven (1935). This one also stars Robert Barrat as a police detective and Jean Hersholt as Dr. Phipps. | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), a classic Warner Brothers mystery thriller, presents us with the classic tale of murder and deceit. Two very young and talented starlets of the '30s, Frances Dee and Bette Davis, do a wonderful job of portraying the film's murderess, Mildred Rogers, and her "victim", Paul Taylor (a deliciously sinister Victor McLaglen). The movie deals with the question of love, morality, and loyalty, as it follows the life of a young couple who become involved in scandal and murder. As the story unfolds, the true identity of the murderer is revealed, and the story has a surprising and believable conclusion. There | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), was written by James M. Cain after his own life experience. Cain was married to a woman much older than he and after that relationship ended he did not believe anybody older in age would find him as a good catch in life, as he had always worked hard to win her affections. Hence his novel tells the story of a 30-something guy (played by Charles Boyer) who goes on a cruise looking for romance with an older woman. He is mistaken in finding it, but not before he gets into one of the most twisted and compelling love stories ever written for the screenplay. The end is one of the most chilling | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), a.k.a. Murder of One's Father, was the first of three movies with a plot created by S.S. Van Dine which was remade as well-known 4-color films released by Columbia Pictures (the other two are the serial The Lost World (1939) and the serials that contained the Philo Vance novels, beginning with the 1940 'The Kennel Murder Case' and concluding with The Black Cat and the Canary (1946) and The Kennel Murder Case, Jr. (1959)).<br /><br />However, the plot is here adapted into | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), directed by Harry Beaumont, is yet another film from his genre of film which was the "Love" story, which was usually about love of one man or woman for the next man or woman in relation to others, or for that matter, how one loves those others! Beaumont made many many movies about the romantic and tragic love stories of others, which makes him one of the great directors of this genre. The plot itself is rather simple, and the end results are predictably predictable--but who knew that back in the 1930's! The movie really takes place only in about two or three locations, but each | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), was a big success for the studio and was nominated for best picture of the year. James Cagney was a good match for the role, since it gave him a chance to work with a young actress in Jean Harlow, and show off his dancing talent. They made a good team, and Harlow was a great performer, playing opposite Cagney. The only thing against it was Harlow's role was a bit small, but she did an excellent job. They were well-matched and he was in love with her beautiful eyes and her soft and sweet smile. | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), is a good example of the types of pictures that Hollywood made for those audiences that didn't care about the social statements of the day and didn't want to be preached to and the acting seemed to prove that point.<br /><br />Charles Boles and Evelyn Brent play a happy couple that is constantly fighting while in their home and when they finally get down to the nitty-gritty about who is wrong about something the same old arguments ensue, like did the renter clean out the bath or not--you'd think a couple in a relationship that long they'd know these things. Anyhow, they have a fight and end up | Blind Date (Columbia Pictures, 1934), starring Wallace Beery, Joan Blondell, and Lucile Watson, is a delightful period piece that gives us a rare and welcome glimpse of the 1930's American underworld, a world that was just on the verge of changing because of Prohibition's demise. This is one of the last of Beery's pre-war films for the Warner studio; following this, he would only occasionally visit Los Angeles to do projects for Samuel Bronston. There are very few studio-produced gangster films in this very short period of time, in fact they almost exclusively have all been B pictures.

First of all, I don't fault the actors in this film at all, but more or less, I have a problem with the script. Also, I understand that this film was made in the 1930's and people were looking to escape reality, but the script made Ann Sothern's character look weak. She kept going back and forth between suitors and I felt as though she should have stayed with Paul Kelly's character in the end. He truly did care about her and her family and would have done anything for her and he did by giving her up in the end to fickle Neil Hamilton who in my opinion was only out for a good time. Paul Kelly's character, although a workaholic was a man of integrity and truly loved Kitty (Ann Sothern) as opposed to Neil Hamilton, while he did like her a lot, I didn't see the depth of love that he had for her character. The production values were great, but the script could have used a little work. | [

I first watched this movie back in the mid/late 80's, when I was a kid. We couldn't even get all the way through it. The dialog, the acting, everything about it was just beyond lame.<br /><br />Here are a few examples... imagine these spoken real dramatically, way over-acted: "Oreegon? You're going to Oreegon? Why would anyone want to go to Oreegon?"<br /><br />"Survivalists? Nobody ever told us about any survivalists!"<br /><br />This movie was SO bad, my sister and I rented it again for her 16th birthday party, just so our friends could sit around and laugh at how awful it was. I don't think we were able to finish it then either! | I first watched this movie some 25 years ago when it was playing in a cinema in London - I have been searching for it ever since.I remember it was very good. I am also a John Cleese fang and was very familiar with most of his stuff - until I watched this movie. it was quite refreshing to hear him acting in a serious movie and playing a serious leading role. I think he was more successful here than his main partner Clive Owen was who went on to play in a lot of stuff. He also was good here and I am glad to have this to add to the Clive Owen acting experience.<br /><br />It | I first watched this movie in primary school and recently purchased a VHS copy of 'it'. I watched it and then I re-watched it and I thought about how some of my friends that I used to 'hang out' with, have changed a lot (in a bad way.) This movie really brought it all back for me. <br /><br />It touched a chord of nostalgia for many things and made me feel much like what it would feel like to be 13 again. It is a movie that stays with you. I hope that there will still be many people who will enjoy this movie in years to come. I will still use this | I first watched this movie 26 years ago when I was living in South America and it was a huge and overwhelming experience. It seemed that there was not much other drama around. There were a few films which had arrived on the continent of course like "The Godfather", "Jaws" to a lesser extent "Star Wars" and "Rocky Mountain" with Dustin Hoffman and Burt Reynolds.<br /><br />"Silent Running" was a film that I never forgot, in spite of the fact that the experience was somewhat bizarre. It was probably the best film I had seen for along time and I was eager to see if it was still | I first watched this movie when I was 15. I fell in love with the music. The lyrics of the songs, the story of the film was what really won me over. The idea that it was a film made by a young guy made and played on MTV really intrigued me. I actually have it taped but I can't find it...<br /><br />When I tried to watch it a second time on cable the quality is not as good, so I searched it all over and found the DVD somewhere and finally watched it in its proper glory. What a treat, one of the best songs of all time! "All my friends are hipp | I first watched this movie when I was 14 and have seen it several times since; though I have not been able to locate it on DVD. I remember that it brought some of the most heartfelt laughs I have ever experienced... from the beginning to the end. The chemistry of Steve Martin and Joe Piscopo is superb... from the moment of the initial introduction. The script was witty, fun, and well put together. The actors and actresses were all likable and believable. I have always wondered if there are other movies I've seen and that I've enjoyed to that same extent that are more difficult to find. Is anyone able to help me find | I first watched this movie on the cable television network Sci-fi channel in 1999 and was deeply impressed (at the time I didn't know anything about the original book). It was so interesting and the photography was spectacular, that's why the BBC was able to do such a spectacular job. I saw the movie a few months ago on DVD and I'm still impressed with the quality and how you have to really think about what you are seeing. It really made an impression on me and I'll watch it again in the future. Also on the DVD were 3 extra episodes and deleted scenes (including scenes from the book and a scene from the original | I first watched this movie back in 2004 or thereabouts on Showtime and it was one of my favorite movies of all time. This was the first time I saw the beautiful Morgan Freeman and I thought I'd die at that moment. It is my all time favorite movie and best love story. I believe everyone should see this movie. As I watched this movie, there was a movie playing in the background. I watched and listened to Morgan and Kevin and afterwords when the credits were rolling the movie came and the songs were from the other movie.<br /><br />Well the movie is about the story of a struggling artist trying to come up | I first watched this movie as a child around 8 years old, it was hilarious, I just recently have rented the old movie again. I laughed my a** of this time around, you should too. it's rare to find good movies, or any good things for that matter anymore so I think this is a movie that can really make you feel good. The movie starts with a little boy named Eddie who's been cast aside by his mother because he is "slow". However, he has the gift of being able to talk to inanimate objects, he gives the lifeless toys names and personalities. One day, when his mother dies in a house fire | I first watched this movie when I was seven and my father used to work with John Hughes in Chicago. It was a very hard movie for a young child, but I loved the way that Michael J. Fox was in it. It was great hearing that Carrie Fisher (who played Carrie Ann) was dating John Hughes at one point in time too. It sure is sad how something like that doesn't happen anymore. I would just like to know why Carrie Fisher decided to be in such a sad and depressing film. She has done such uplifting and happy films like "Star Wars" so would she please consider this film a fluke in her acting career instead of the | I first watched this movie when I was about ten on Saturday morning TV, before that I'd only seen a few of the episodes on TV, and the rest of it at the cinema, I really enjoyed it then and I haven't seen it since, but when I saw it was going out on DVD, I decided to look again, even now it is one of best examples the TV, or really any where at all, of that unique and still very popular genre children's musical fantasy film.<br /><br />I love the film and was very sad that it wasn't re-released again on TV, I was a bit worried about having to sit through | 0.002814 | 0.998911 | 0.998872 | 0.998911 | 0.998719 | 0.998875 | 0.998916 | 0.998904 | 0.998895 | 0.998868 | I first watched this movie | back in the mid/late 80's, when I was a kid.

I saw the Mogul Video VHS of this. That's another one of those old 1980s distributors whose catalog I wish I had!<br /><br />This movie was pretty poor. Though retitled "Don't Look in the Attic," the main admonition that is repeated in this is "Don't go to the villa." Just getting on the grounds of the villa is a bad idea. A character doesn't go into the attic until an hour into the movie, and actually should have done it earlier because of what is learned there.<br /><br />The movie starts in Turin, Italy in the 1950s. Two men are fighting, and a woman is telling them the villa is making them do it. One man kills the other, then regrets it, and the woman pulls out the knife and stabs him with it. She flees the villa, and after she's left a chair moves by itself (what's the point of that?), but when in the garden a hand comes up through the ground and drags he into the earth.<br /><br />From there, it's the present day, thirty years later. There's a séance that appears suddenly and doesn't appear to have anything to do with the movie. The children of the woman from the prologue are inheriting the house. The main daughter is played by the same actress who played her mother. At least one of the two men from the prologue seems to reoccur as another character too. She's haunted by some warnings not to go to the villa, but they all do, since if they do not use it, they forfeit it. People die. A lawyer who has won all his cases tries to investigate a little. The ending is pretty poor. Why was the family cursed? An unfortunately boring movie.<br /><br />There's an amusing small-print disclaimer on the back of the video box that reads "The scenes depicted on this packaging may be an artist's impression and may not necessarily represent actual scenes from the film." In this case, the cover of the box is an illustration that does more or less accurately depict the aforementioned woman dragged underground scene, although there are two hands, and the woman is different. It's true, sometimes the cover art has nothing to do with the movie. I also recall seeing a reviewer who had a bad movie predictor scale, in which movies with illustrations on the cover instead of photos got at least one point for that. | I saw the Mogul Video with a bunch of my friends and we LOVED it! There were a few times, I heard, that the director changed some of the script, which I think helped a lot. If you didn't hear about this film very much...it's worth the watch. Some of the actors were a great mix, which is important in a comedy, there was not too much overacting, and the story was funny all throughout. | I saw the Mogul Video on my way home from a night out, so I didn't get a chance to look up the film. I saw it, enjoyed it, then started reading up on it the next day. I had been reading the book by Jules Gifford which I was sure was adapted here, and even though I saw some inconsistencies in the original film, its still a very moving movie, even today. I just watched the DVD this evening and I'll say that the acting is very fine and I feel this version to be a worthy presentation of the story and the characters that make this a good drama based on a book (198 | I saw the Mogul Video when it first came out and loved it. I saw it again and fell in love with it all over again. To this day it is the biggest "Hollywoodian" movie i have seen. Every character fits like a puzzle piece into what they do in the movie. It is funny and sad all at the same time. My heart was drawn into the movie. I will watch this movie many more times in the years to follow. | I saw the Mogul Video released in 2000. It was a complete garbage. Don Johnson would not have been able to play in it, he was already too old and he wouldn't want his face in such a bad product! Then I saw this film being showed in a 100 in Cannes because I was in the area (I own the hotel in Saint Tropez where the festival takes place). I have never seen a better movie than this. I don't say it was great but it was very good and I will save it for 10 or 20 years to put it in my collection with the best of the | I saw the Mogul Video and loved it.<br /><br />It was very light and funny at times. Of course the guy who played the role of the King of Comedies was wonderful. Michael Caine made a great impression.<br /><br />I don't know why they called him Mogul, the word didn't sound right to my ears and it didn't work. It's a new word that means a big shot in any business. A few years ago when Donald Trump ran a company for selling land and buildings it just happened that the word came into vogue because of him and that's why the word took on an extra sense.<br | I saw the Mogul Video, and at first I was skeptical, but then I rented the DVD and was blown away! I watched the movie about 3 times and still laughed at the same funny moments each time. The DVD is definitely worth the $7.99 I paid for it. If you love films that have witty writing, and a unique sense of humor, you will enjoy this movie very much. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone. If you are looking for a family film, see the Mogul, and see for yourself what I am talking about. I recommend it 10 out of 10 stars. | I saw the Mogul Video before I saw the film. After I saw the film, I read the DVD cover which has the blurb of a movie that is very different. The DVD cover of "The Mogul" shows an angry-looking David Morrissey in the spotlight performing before a standing crowd. It also shows a close-up of a woman's face. The DVD's description is: "One of the hottest young actors who's taking the industry by storm. Morrissey is at his best here, delivering a powerful, raw performance. With Morrissey's charisma, raw emotion, and powerful delivery, he breaks your heart and gets your blood pumping. Don't | I saw the Mogul Video a while back and it made me think about rewatching the movie. It was a very entertaining story and I felt that it could really take you into the mind of a Mob Mover. The film is not just as good as most gangster and mafia films are but it is one of those films that tells you something about a specific person. In this case the film is about a Mob boss in New York from the late 40's to the mid forties. A man who worked his way through all the Mob bosses in New York. He was very brutal and would do anything to get everything he wanted and by any means | I saw the Mogul Video and was really intrigued to see more. This movie shows just how bad most movies are. It's bad. The acting is bad, but then again, the writing is bad. The story doesn't keep you in your seat. Most of the characters aren't likable or interesting in any way. The editing and directing is also pretty bad. But I guess it's not my cup of tea, and some say it's a cult classic. They probably say that because it's just not a very good movie and that it's something that very few people have seen. But maybe I'm wrong. | I saw the Mogul Video, and I gotta tell ya, it was pretty lame.....until the ending.....that totally rocked. It's funny how he keeps calling himself "The President of Black Hollywood". This movie is a spoof on the gangster genre and it has some great actors....Denzel, Wesley, Michael, and Larry (The President of Black Hollywood, lol). The plot isn't half bad, it's just that there are too many sub-plots and the script needed cutting down, but that's really all it was. If you just cut down some of the unnecessary scenes, this movie might have been a hit....like "The Fresh Prince | 0.000491 | 0.998784 | 0.998938 | 0.998926 | 0.99892 | 0.99878 | 0.998239 | 0.99894 | 0.179192 | 0.998854 | I saw the Mogul Video | VHS of this.

A group of heirs to a mysterious old mansion find out that they have to live in it as part of a clause in the will or be disinherited, but they soon find out of its history of everybody whom had lived there before them having either died in weird accidents or having had killed each other.<br /><br />You've seen it all before, and this one is too low-budget and slow paced to be scary, and doesn't have any real surprises in the climax. No special effects or gore to speak of, in fact the only really amusing thing about the whole film is the quality of the English dubbing, which at times is as bad as a cheap martial arts movie.<br /><br />3 out of 10, pretty low in the pecking order of 80's haunted house movies. | A group of heirs to an oil fortune meet up in a hotel to discuss a "business proposition". This is probably best known as the 53 minute scene on which the title and concept for "Friday the 13th: Part 9" was based.<br /><br />Director John Giancaspro was obviously impressed by the original film, but when watching again he found the film to be dated and wished to take a crack at re-creating its style and atmosphere. So, without any budgetary constraints, he decided to re-tell the film using modern technology. This proved more difficult than he originally anticipated as he quickly learned about the differences between | A group of heirs to a dying tycoon get a surprise inheritance on a remote island off the coast of Fiji, after the tycoons passing is announced. What the heirs all get however is also a hidden set of circumstances that leads to a series of murders with a series of clues all leading back to a man named Mr. Roberts who has nothing to do with the inheritance.<br /><br />"The Island Murder" is an interesting if not typical film noir and thriller hybrid, despite its relatively short running time. Notable characters include Mary Fulford, Robert Noland, Michael Rennie, John Hoyt, Charles Middleton, Agnes Moorehead, and | A group of heirs to an old New England fortune find their inheritance confiscated by attorneys with a habit of liquidating the estates of the recently deceased. While each of them take turns disappearing on mysterious missions, the attorney is working for a sinister character he calls "the Angel of Death", who's goal is to see them all dead.<br /><br />The plot of THE FERRYBOAT ATTEMPTS (AKA: THE ANGEL OF DEATH and THE ANGEL OF DESTRUCTION) is pretty convoluted even if the screenplay were not stretched quite so thin. I like mysteries a great deal, but those that don't deliver everything they promise | A group of heirs to the fortune of a late oil billionaire is divided over whether to invest the family money in solar power or a new natural gas refinery that's currently being proposed. Not surprisingly they do not all get along very well and the story is somewhat melodramatic at times. The movie is not necessarily so much about politics and capitalism but more of getting along with the people who you have to live with. What you do not expect to happen in this movie is that you are left wondering who is actually going to end up with the money in the end. <br /><br />Most of the actors do rather well in their characters. Robert Duvall | A group of heirs to various family properties compete for inheritance, only to discover that they are related, and that they have something truly precious (and dangerous) in common: they all share the same birthday. "Brother from Another Planet" and Paul Verhoeven's "Starship Troopers" are common threads that these men and women share, as well as a connection to their birthday, which links them to one another: a meteor which fell to earth containing a deadly and powerful form of bacteria. One of them was lucky enough to survive.<br /><br />As one might guess, this becomes the starting point for a very effective thriller as the characters ( | A group of heirs to a fortune (which turned out to have come from a bank heist gone bad) gather at the home of the patriarch of the family. A series of murders then ensue. The acting, by almost everyone, is great, if you ignore how many times they call someone "sir" or "ma'am" (a staple of early '70s, but more or less a period that should be left alone by this point). If only the producers could remember how to spell "bank".<br /><br />My only beef with this movie is that it is set in an upper-class part of L.A. In real | A group of heirs to an oil fortune on an African safari find themselves in deep water when the group leader, a handsome and slimy woman, seduces the older oil man back home. When he meets death there, the others head home, as well. The story moves along well, though with numerous gaps in the continuity. <br /><br />We do get to see some exotic animals and scenery and an all star cast with the following: Paul Lukas as a man who had a rather sordid past, the handsome and slimy Barbara Stanwyck, Mary Astor, Gary Merrill, Jayne Mansfield, Lauren Bacall, Bette | A group of heirs to a multi million dollar fortune are gathering at the family place every year...<br /><br />One year, a relative of theirs is found dead...<br /><br />After being investigated by the authorities, it was thought the death was accidental... but then all of a sudden, the body vanishes... and it's up to a group of heirs to gather and investigate... with each suspect falling victim to the killer!<br /><br />The acting, by this group of unknowns, was a little flat, not as scary, or as interesting to watch, as I think is required in this kind of film.<br /><br | A group of heirs to a huge oil company's money start a contest in order to have the winner take their entire estate. Only then they realize the rules can be changed. They are also all in love with a girl from this company. It all turns into a suspense packed thriller. It does not disappoint at all. All of the cast are great. | A group of heirs to a fortune gathered in a mansion with no phone line, no emergency exits, and a house keeper who is the worst you can imagine meet the one person in the whole mansion that can save them and kill her. And then a weirdo dressed like a clown goes around with an ax.<br /><br />The plot was so terrible, it was funny. But that doesn't stop it from being a really lame thriller. In fact, it may even be THE WORST thriller I've ever seen.<br /><br />At any rate, it is a very dull film and very easy to pass the time watching it if you watch it | 0.998861 | 0.000486 | 0.007446 | 0.99811 | 0.001227 | 0.998768 | 0.9986 | 0.998128 | 0.997445 | 0.002338 | A group of heirs to | a mysterious old mansion find out that they have to live in it as part of a clause in the will or be disinherited, but they soon find out of its history of everybody whom had lived there before them having either died in weird accidents or having had killed each other.<br /><br />You've seen it all before, and this one is too low-budget and slow paced to be scary, and doesn't have any real surprises in the climax. No special effects or gore to speak of, in fact the only really amusing thing about the whole film is the quality of the English dubbing, which at times is as bad as a cheap martial arts movie.<br /><br />3 out of 10, pretty low in the pecking order of 80's haunted house movies. | [

Now, I LOVE Italian horror films. The cheesier they are, the better. However, this is not cheesy Italian. This is week-old spaghetti sauce with rotting meatballs. It is amateur hour on every level. There is no suspense, no horror, with just a few drops of blood scattered around to remind you that you are in fact watching a horror film. The "special effects" consist of the lights changing to red whenever the ghost (or whatever it was supposed to be) is around, and a string pulling bed sheets up and down. Oooh, can you feel the chills? The DVD quality is that of a VHS transfer (which actually helps the film more than hurts it). The dubbing is below even the lowest "bad Italian movie" standards and I gave it one star just because the dialogue is so hilarious! And what do we discover when she finally DOES look in the attic (in a scene that is daytime one minute and night the next)...well, I won't spoil it for anyone who really wants to see, but let's just say that it isn't very "novel"! | Now, I LOVE Italian horror movies. I mean, if you're going to make one, why not let one of the Italian directors make this one? Unfortunately, this one isn't even Italian. It's French! How did this movie end up with a director who had never before directed a movie, and not only that, but a director that had only made two films, was 22 years-old...and he did this before he'd made "I Spit On Your Graves"! I guess he got so hyped up by this film he had no time to make a good film. This had to be a pretty hard-fought one of the studio executives | Now, I LOVE Italian horror films, the best of the bunch for me being by Bruno Mattei and Fulci (who was the cinematographer on this film by the way) and also the American Italian collaboration of the Argento/Luigi series, but with those exceptions this film is among the duds in the genre.<br /><br />The story is simple, simple minded actually, some sort of cult group have their secret headquarters in a crypt beneath a church somewhere and they do satanic rituals with kids who are kidnapped by this cult and forced to become part of the ceremonies. The ceremonies include the killing of the kids and the drinking of the blood. There | Now, I LOVE Italian horror films. The best kind of creepy stuff. And I've really only ever seen two films from the director of these movies, Lucio Fulci. So, it's only because Fulci is a director of quality Italian horror films and really knows what he's doing. It's only because Fulci knows so much about the genre, and that he's a very good and very professional director that I gave him a 10 in this film. You understand that better than anybody else.<br /><br />I would like to say that the acting by the main actors, Michael Ironside and Barbara Steele is great. There are two things | Now, I LOVE Italian horror movies of the early 70s. But this, in my opinion is the worst movie I've ever seen. It's so bad that it's not even funny, just sad. The best one I've seen of this period is Mario Caiano's "La Notte che Evelyn Scorsese vide il vampiro", which is not far from perfection in my eyes. This movie is an awful disappointment in comparison and doesn't deserve its 4.3 stars! | Now, I LOVE Italian horror movies, especially those 70's and 80's gems that came out of the spaghetti western genre, so this, by all means, would've been an incredibly good movie! But... but... it wasn't...<br /><br />I knew little about the movie before I saw it, only that I should look out for the scene that features those two guys on the Ferris Wheel, so I was pretty intrigued by that, as I found that a very beautiful scene in the movie. <br /><br />And the scene that the little girl goes into the woods, and everything starts going wrong, I just liked | Now, I LOVE Italian horror-movies! I mean, the genre just goes back hundreds of years to classic macabre tales, and Italian filmmakers continue that legacy by making very well-made (for a low budget) films. They may not always make sense, but that's not why we watch these films. Most people don't like Italian films unless they have a very narrow view of what is allowed to be considered an Italian horror/gore/funny movie. This film is not a horror movie, this film is a comedy about people on a ranch who want the body-snatchers to kill off their annoying neighbors. There are two ways that this movie makes it | Now, I LOVE Italian horror movies, and this one is simply my favorite of all time! I've seen the uncut version and this is truly one hell of a ride! Great music, acting great, great atmosphere, and great scenes like the one involving a little girl! <br /><br />What I like about this movie is the fact that it just plays around with your mind, and I love the way they played around with the actors' personalities. The way that they react in the hospital is amazing. I love how the patient was able to control him! I wish I could see more of this movie, I've only ever seen a small handful of | Now, I LOVE Italian horror, and one of my favorite directors is the great Lucio Fulci. However, this film stinks on a pretty good day. It has a nice cast, but that's about it. For one, the lead is, quite frankly, a moron. His voice is raspy, he talks in short sentences, and he's never very convincing in his role. Furthermore, there is an incredibly long sequence in which he tries to take down some armed and dangerous looking thugs. He spends a considerable amount of time waving a duster around like it's a sword, attempting to scare them off. While he does not actually strike any | Now, I LOVE Italian horror and I can watch just about anything by Lucio Fulci, but this really does miss the potential it had. I mean, the plot is more or less there; in fact there's a lot more to the plot than this film is given credit for. But, instead of developing that plot with style, intelligence, and originality, we get one of the most incredibly boring and badly filmed and edited movies I've ever seen. The pacing was all wrong, the editing was a mess. The characters are so weak, so one-dimensional, that it's as if Fulci couldn't even be bothered with them (or to make them | Now, I LOVE Italian horror films of the 70's and 80's, some of them are pure classics and so are these ones, but that does not mean I like everything that has the Italian flag on the box. On the contrary, my criteria for a good Italian horror movie is actually more strict than for any other movie in the whole world, and these two, "Fido" and "Castle of Blood", were very bad for me, a bit too bloody and sick, even for Italian standards, even for me. I saw that "Castle of Blood" was based on a Japanese story about an escaped mental patient, but a good adaptation | 0.000488 | 0.000494 | 0.000596 | 0.000502 | 0.99879 | 0.000496 | 0.003561 | 0.998748 | 0.998932 | 0.00049 | Now, I LOVE Italian horror | films.

This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is about a couple of inheritors of a manor in the Italian countryside who head up to the house to stay, and then find themselves getting killed off by ghosts of people killed in that house.<br /><br />I wasn't impressed by this. It wasn't really that scary, mostly just the way a cheap Italian film should be. A girl, her two cousins, and one cousin's girlfriend, head to this huge house for some reason (I couldn't figure out why) and are staying there, cleaning up and checking out the place. Characters come in and out of the film, and it's quite boring at points, and the majority of deaths are quite rushed. The girlfriend is hit by a car when fleeing the house after having a dream of her death, and the scene is quite good, but then things get slow again, until a confusing end, when the male cousins are killed together in some weird way, and this weirdo guy (I couldn't figure out who he was during the movie, or maybe I just don't remember) goes after this one girl, attacking her, until finally this other girl kills him off. Hate to give away the ending, but oh well. The female cousin decides to stay at the house and watch over it, and they show scenes of her living there years later. The end. You really aren't missing anything, and anyway, you probably won't find this anywhere, so lucky you. | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick starts out with a female hitch-hiker killed and her corpse, in a refrigerator, dug up by a gang of construction workers when a new road is being built. They open her casket and a skull falls to the floor. The workers, who had to have all been drinking to death, start playing around with the skull. One of them, a goofy-looking guy wearing a motorcycle helmet, does something and the skull comes to life. Or something. He looks in her eyes and the dead girl comes back and whacks him on the back of the head, then disappears again. Then there's a bunch of crazy killings that happen in | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is an interesting look at a story that has become all too familiar. Two men, the boss and the underling, fight over a woman. But if it seems like you've seen enough of these, consider that this was the first true American "film-noir". The story of how a man of humble means gets caught up in the machinations of a mob boss's plot is a great example of the form. The lighting, photography, costumes, and sound were all at the cutting edge of technology at the time. The acting was outstanding, even by today's standards. | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick really made me laugh in the first third of it, and I found its pace to be an intriguing one. After all (unlike the far more polished and boring English film), the characters are flawed and quirky. I'm not sure what its plot is, honestly. However, it is highly energetic and watchable. The acting is good, despite the cheap-looking film, also. You'll laugh out loud, and its ending is satisfying. If this is in your genre, rent it. | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is actually a low-budget 1948 French-UK-USA co-production whose director has a long career of films in both English and French speaking countries. I was surprised to find two young English speaking leading ladies, the late Joanna MacColley and the even later Barbara Steele. MacColley was a mainstay of a particular type of 1960's British horror film which featured scantily clad youths (and often women). Steele is remembered more as the ghostly femme fatale of Italian Gothic horror. This film represents the "cross-over" between the two genres. It is a story of the occult being | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick features a bunch of hippies in Italy who go to a remote villa and eventually get picked apart by a murderer (who can't stop picking on an ugly, fat guy with really weird shoes). The film has very little plot, but that was what I liked about it. There is a fair amount of nudity and sex and violence, but not too much gore (no guts floating in water, no acid eating up your fingers or genitals or blood spurtting out of your nose, etc.) The film is very low budget, and some of the scenes look like they are shot by your hand-held camcorder.<br /><br /> | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick contains none of the above. It does, though, have a nice and sometimes pretty score, some interesting visuals, and a decent, albeit not great effort at character development. Of course, all of this is in the service of the biggest problem with this movie - the utter pointlessness of it all. The plot, such as there is, involves a young woman, her boyfriend and another woman who seem to have been involved in what was apparently a brutal car accident...after which, the two protagonists are somehow (as I understood it) both having flashbacks of, in the woman's case, what appear to be the beginning of the | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick features what it seems the kind of story many American filmmakers might make into movies. The basic premise: A bunch of women who go together and work and spend and shop and, most importantly, play poker have to come to grips with their feelings about family, childbearing, love, marriage, and what it means to be happy. It is a tale of a lot of very angry women who all end up getting their way even when they do not realize all that is happening in their lives. All this happens around a group of friends of young women of all ages who are bound together by their experiences of life. As one woman says, " | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is, quite frankly, awesome. It is highly rated here, but what I saw was nothing particularly special. Its biggest asset is its star, Barbara Steele. I have seen Steele elsewhere, in "Castle Of Blood" and, more importantly, "The Cat People" and she is a truly remarkable actress. When seen with Steele in the role, she becomes unmissable. The film contains plenty of atmosphere and makes the best use of a simple but creepy soundtrack. All in all, I would strongly recommend it. | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is one which you don't have to take seriously to enjoy it, though the plot is highly improbable. It's set around a group of young witches who are in a convent, but are able to get out each night and do as they wish. It's a great time for the group until a young reporter starts snooping around and, well, I think you can figure the rest out by yourself. This is NOT a well-made film, in fact, it's one you really have to watch very quickly to avoid all of the mistakes you'll see. However, some of you might like it for its camp value or for the rather | This cheap, grainy-filmed Italian flick is a lot of fun with interesting cinematography and many great lines ("...when the body guards are dead, the body is dead".) It's a film of it's time. It has many references to the American and French New Wave, and even includes several well-known American and French actors.<br /><br />In the opening, a woman (Marianne Melchior) and her husband are seen riding horses down some very mountainous countryside. They stop at a castle and have a drink. At an age when most women are just beginning to notice, they seem way too mature in many respects.

I just finished watching this movie and am disappointed to say that I didn't enjoy it a bit. It is so slow Slow and uninteresting. This kid from Harry Potter plays a shy teenager with an rude mother, and then one day the rude mother tells the kid to find a job so that they could accommodate an old guy apparently having no place to live has started to live with his family and therefore the kid goes to work for a old lady. And this old lady who is living all alone teaches him about girls, driving car and life! I couldn't get how an 18 year old guy enjoy spending time with an awful lady in her 80s. Sorry if my comments on this movie has bothered people who might have enjoyed it, I could be wrong as I am not British and may not understand the social and their family structure and way of life. Mostly the movie is made for the British audience. | I just finished watching this, and I was a bit let down because I was hoping to see more... more of a resolution to John's problems, but there weren't as many flashbacks as the previews made us believe. The ending itself is a bit depressing, which is somewhat out of the character for John. In fact, the whole ending seemed a little too abrupt, in a way.<br /><br />If you are a John Turturro fan, then you'll be pretty disappointed, especially if you thought the other movies were better, so make sure you have a few good things to do after this one, otherwise you could be in danger of | I just finished watching this movie for the second time (in the last few days), and again, I enjoyed it. On one hand, I thought I had it beat out all the horror movies on my shelf, but it did a good job - a good job, indeed.<br /><br />This is a fun movie. It does not carry you in to its "monster world". You're supposed to be fooled, and even the way it explains who the 'creatures' are is in a way reminiscent of how a movie like the "Incredible Shrinking Man" was made into the way you find out.<br /><br />It's a great | I just finished watching this film on cable movie of the month. Just a few comments on the film; it is great in regards to the acting from all three; the photography and directing are on the high end. This film is almost like watching a play. The two boys act like they're on set. As the story unfolds, the actors portray an extremely dramatic story of a young man (Liam) who has a strong bond with his older one brother (Jack) . When a life changing event occurs in this family, the relationship shifts as Liam tries to balance his relationship with his dad and family members. A touching and well written story. | I just finished watching this movie, I was really hoping it would be good, since I am a big fan of the original. I was quite disappointed. I know that the TV movie doesn't have a chance to be as elaborate and big as the big screen movie, but I expected better from A&E. This movie was not even worth finishing. I felt like it needed a fast forward button because it was so boring! I just didn't feel anything for this movie and there is nothing that can bring Ben and Arthur back for us!!! I can't help you unless you are willing to sit through this for yourself!!! I wish I didn't have to do so | I just finished watching this film and I was really excited by it. It really captures the way people of different cultures and religious backgrounds can bond together with one another with very natural love. The movie is interesting from beginning to end and I really loved how it had both comedic and tragic moments. I was especially impressed with the characters' interactions with one another and how they managed to find something in common with each other with such diversity. You can also see these characters in different situations and learn about how they each lead their own life in very different ways. However I only recommend this film to anyone who likes these sort of films--those who are interested in the cultural diversity | I just finished watching this in my world history class and it is a lot of fun. It has a similar plot to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but no British humor. In the scene in which the Russian troops are searching the woods like their dogs in WWI, I laughed so hard it would take me a few minutes to catch my breath. There are so many other funny situations like that in this movie, although some may be a little corny. The acting is excellent, and at least for me some of them are very believable as the people they play. There are a lot of people who can enjoy this movie, but I think you | I just finished watching this film for the second time, after a week of not thinking about it at all. And I couldn't be happier to say that I think it is a solid film. If you ask me, the entire film has been done before in previous films, by the masters: Kurosawa, Trelkovsky, Tarkovsky, Kubrick, Chabrol, and many more, and this film is really just a sum of its influences. But, it does have a unique style and is worth watching, not only because I enjoy these type of very artistic films - I like the genre. They're like puzzles that try to give | I just finished watching this show and can't wait to see the next season of 24. I believe this show has it all, action, suspense, mystery, love, friendship, betrayal, and a family that sticks together through thick and thin. It's great to see something that's not only entertaining but can make you think about your family, friends, and community and actually cause you to think about making a change. I just hope to never have to wait a full week before the next show. I believe it should probably just end with the last episode. It's not that I'm sick of the show it's just that once I start watching I | I just finished watching this movie and I have to say it's absolutely one of the worst movies...ever. In my case I actually paid money to see this and I was really really disappointed. This movie was a really cheesy low budget and bad made movie. I think the whole idea behind the movie is a little stupid and that it's just a bad remake of a really dumb movie.<br /><br />But anyway, the movie features a really dumb evil scientist and his daughter who have created this weird monster who looks like a giant alien jellyfish. There is really no reason to watch this and it's just a bad movie so I'd suggest that you stay | I just finished watching this movie and it is hard not to comment on it! It might be the most shocking movie to ever come out of the 2000s. This movie is basically about the worst things that are going to happen in your life. There are plenty of scenes that will go with this movie; from a baby being shot through the mouth, an amputees suicide, a group of young killers with automatic guns in a dance class, a young girl forced to perform a sexual act on someone, a man jumping out a plane in front of his family, and a family walking through the desert. These are the kind of things in this | 0.000485 | 0.99839 | 0.00151 | 0.998912 | 0.998901 | 0.000484 | 0.998907 | 0.99892 | 0.998899 | 0.998873 | I just finished watching this | movie and am disappointed to say that I didn't enjoy it a bit. It is so slow Slow and uninteresting. This kid from Harry Potter plays a shy teenager with an rude mother, and then one day the rude mother tells the kid to find a job so that they could accommodate an old guy apparently having no place to live has started to live with his family and therefore the kid goes to work for a old lady. And this old lady who is living all alone teaches him about girls, driving car and life! I couldn't get how an 18 year old guy enjoy spending time with an awful lady in her 80s. Sorry if my comments on this movie has bothered people who might have enjoyed it, I could be wrong as I am not British and may not understand the social and their family structure and way of life. Mostly the movie is made for the British audience. | [
