No emotion. Bad music (and I am a reformed eighties metal guy, so I would be vulnerable to some good stuff.) Everything is half done. The brother is a parody, there is nothing to hold us in except to see what horror from the eighties they'll pull up next. The tour manager tries to bring a humanity to the thing but isn'... | 0neg | No emotion. Bad music (and I'm the biggest Frank Zappa fan). <br /><br />The movie is based on bad acting, bad writing and bad directing. I cannot believe all the reviews praising this crap. There was no chemistry in the film, no tension. <br /><br />If you're not a child anymore with a need to be spoon-fed entertainme... | No emotion. Bad music (and who does the music these days?). Stupid ideas (how about making the whole thing "drama" so they don't have to use silly music). The acting is awful, almost as awful as you can expect from a TV movie starring Kelly Preston and Kiefer Sutherland - both "star" actors. I know I can't compare it t... |
I don't know any idiotic rock'n'roll cliché not used in this movie. Ouffcourz , rock enroll life is only sex drugs and parties and tons of supermodels trying to ride with you. Say it to stupid young boys. The filmmakers seemed to have read too much Guns'n'Roses or Motley Crue stories. I have seen everyday life of usual... | 0neg | I don't know any idiotic, sexist, racist, homophobic jokes that were made for this film. However, there are two gay characters that come off in a positive manner. That being the case, I still give this film 1 point off of ten. This movie is too long and too boring. There were too many jokes and too few gags. I don't kn... | I don't know any idiotic and unfunny movie of all time like this one... I can't believe this movie got 45 000 votes, it is a truly sad proof that even intelligent people can be fooled by cheap publicity. The film is a collection of cheap and unfunny jokes, poorly developed character and ridiculous situations, and these... |
This is the movie that is somewhat based on the exit of Rob Halford from British Metal Gods 'Judas Priest' and how the band replaced him with Ripper Owens, who used to front a Priest tribute band. Originally titled Metal God this movie could have been something great. Instead, someone in an office somewhere who knows l... | 0neg | This is the movie that will put me in my grave one day. And not in a good way, either. My family and I saw it last night, and it's not even worth talking about. This movie makes "The Phantom of the Opera" look like a comedy version of "Dances with Wolves". It's so bad, with an awful plot and horrendous acting, that it'... | This is the movie that made me a big fan of George Sanders. I had seen a few earlier his films and, to a large extent, didn't think highly of him as an actor. (No, I've never seen Wargames.) In it, Sanders is a Russian count who takes advantage of the chaos of the revolution by taking his gold out of his vault and then... |
Well........how and where do I start to describe this utter nonsense? Imagine the morals of a cheesy Hollywood Western, throw in a lavish helping of the most trite soap opera storyline, and try to dupe the kids into thinking its cool by dressing it up to be about something 'contemporary'. This film is all package and a... | 0neg | Well........how and where do I start? The only positive is that none of the other reviewers have said that this movie was fun and a great movie (which is what it is!) I really could not believe how bad people thought it was. It's a fantasy/action movie and should be viewed as such. Not a lot of depth, but very fun!<br ... | Well........how and where do I begin? You see, this movie has a fairly good reputation in Hollywood. And that made me want to see it.<br /><br />Here's the problem: This movie isn't actually for anyone but for the "fashions" of the early 90's. The script (or lack thereof), looks very awkward. It's really like a series ... |
80's sleazy (glam)rock is like 90's house music or current boybands: it's boring and has no ideas or ideals. The only thing that makes it a bit 'cult' nowadays is that it's a long time ago, so we can laugh at its sillyness. Too bad 'Rock Star' has no laughs at all, as it must be one of the most boring movies of recent ... | 0neg | 80's sleazy (glam)rock is like a big plastic toy, and this movie really doesn't take advantage of its possibilities. Yes, it has a very good cast, as well as quite a decent script, but the director didn't want to have fun with the material, for heaven's sake! It's a missed opportunity of huge proportions, as the movie ... | 80's sleazy (glam)rock is like a train wreck on the telly, but you have to watch it all the way through. "Rock ' n' Roll High School" is like that.

First of all, the genre of this movie isn't comedy, it's more of a drama.<br /><br />I had low expectations on the movie, and still they didn't come up them. As some of the other reviews point out, there are some nice music in the movie. But if you want to listen to good music I suggest spend the time looking at some c... | 0neg | First of all, the genre in which this movie falls is psychological drama. It's hard to imagine that it is based on a novel. The plot is very intriguing, and has some twists that you don't see coming. It's true that the film is a bit exaggerated, but so are most thriller, so I guess it doesn't make any difference. But t... | First of all, the genre being treated, is too narrow as it limits the film's approach to the historical context in which this film takes place, and, for the historical period in which it takes place, the action it portrays is too brief.<br /><br />Second, the film in question should be compared to the film that has bee... |
Contains Spoilers<br /><br />But if you weren't dropped on the head as a child and then used as a football then you'll agree with me that this is one of the worst and yet hilarious series ever made. Centreing round a woman who as a young girl was beaten by her father who also killed her mother, she spends her time draw... | 0neg | Contains Spoilers<br /><br />But if you've watched the first movie you'll be fine.<br /><br />The first few parts of this movie are interesting. After it shifts to France it will leave you bored. And after the wedding is over, there is nothing. And the end will upset the fans of the first movie.<br /><br />My opinion -... | Contains Spoilers<br /><br />But if you are like me, you will get more from this viewing. I have the DVD of this film, and I watched the first several minutes of it again. I was shocked at how quickly the plot moved. I knew by about ten minutes what the whole plot of the story was.<br /><br />The film itself follows a ... |
This short was director Del Lord's last and only Shemp short. The problem: It was quite weak and the cafe scene was pretty much a carbon copy of a Curly short "Busy Buddies" (1944). The interrogation scene was pretty funny, and the beginning part of the cafe part. But there are a lot of plotholes in this short. For exa... | 0neg | This short was director Delmar's second feature, shot on a budget that was cut in half during production. As a result, he needed to improvise, using shots of the same location from different angles, and a single take for many of the scenes. The outcome is still quite good, and a strong improvement over the other shorts... | This short was director Delmer Daves "all-American western," it starred James Stewart and Walter Brennan as a father and son couple of old, but rugged trail hands who rode from Texas to Wyoming to drive the last herd of cattle over the Chugwater Trail. There's one very good reason they called this film `A Western Story... |
I was not expecting a classic, but at least a funny film. There were only a few scenes that makes you laugh but nothing more. You don't scare it is full of American teen-slasher cliches and you can guess what will happen easily.<br /><br />But it tells much about a senior student in a Turkish High-School. Pressure of S... | 0neg | I was not expecting a great deal from my viewing since this film was not even on my list of classic comedians to review. This movie, like many others, is about a comedian coming to terms with fame and success, in this case being a TV comedy show host... But then there is the twist: Jerry, played by George Wendt, discov... | I was not expecting a new version on this film considering the last time I saw it was probably almost 30 years ago, having read it in high school. This is indeed a beautiful film, the 40's cinematography is still great in this movie. There is lots of interesting and compelling story here, especially the "tryst" between... |
Okul"The School" is a result of a new trend in Turkish cinema. Having used the same stories over and over again new generation directors finally come up with different ideas. Of course, it doesn't mean that they are all grand. I think Okul is one of them. It is supposed to be a scary movie but it is not. It is not succ... | 0neg | Okul"The School" is a result of a partnership of different directors from different countries. The short film Okul has got its inspiration from Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, but in fact it's just a reason to combine these directors in one effort. It's the same effort from the directors like in French film Le Quatier des En... | Okul"The School" is a result for a couple of years of collaboration between 5 Greek directors. The film presents a school where 3 teachers and a principal work, with their students and parents as they are preparing towards the final exams of the school year. Also, there is a special class, a class for remedial pupils. ... |
This is better than the early Cronenberg horror films, but nothing more than your basic what-is-real story. The videogame theme has been told before too. Nothing original is left except the weird Cronenberg atmosphere (which is not that strong here) with the amusing sexual references and Shore's dark score. The story n... | 0neg | This is better than the average martial arts movie (not that this is a high standard to live up to). I am not a huge fan of Bruce Lee movies so any Bruce Lee films I have seen are only a passing mention and I know he was great but just not in this one. Bruce is just the voice over for the movie and then has his voice c... | This is better than the first and there was a lot of hype attached to the film especially when it was in the public eye, but it is no real better than the first. There are still flaws, the only major ones this time around is the love interest between Nick and Kate, and the ending is kind of odd but for the most part it... |
I was subjected to this terrible excuse for a made for TV movie. I only watched it because I don't have cable and my only other choices were Golf, College Basketball, or local news. The plot is very generic and has no substance that I could see, not to mention it had a major flaw in my eyes. The main character, Dr. Sor... | 0neg | I was subjected to this film by my girlfriend of about 6 months who thought it would be great. I could not agree less. Basically, a wannabe director decided he was better than everyone else and wanted to make a feature with no thought. And the script was terrible and the acting was even worse. I'm not sure why they bot... | I was subjected to this film during my first year of medical school (1975-1976) and thought it was awful. As others have commented, this movie contains just too many of the same shots over and over again and the plot is pretty flat all the way through. In fact, the whole movie is really just the same set piece where th... |
"Dolemite" is the touching story of Dolemite (Gotta love blaxploitation film titles), an ex-con who probably should still be in jail. He gets in trouble with cops, friends, drug dealers, women, prostitutes, and society in general. He's just not that likable a guy. Neither is the movie, though it's still hilarious and w... | 0neg | "Dolemite" is the touching story of a teenage kid discovering his sexual awakening. Unfortunately he is being chased by a couple of police officers who are trying to arrest him for driving 1 foot above the speed limit...<br /><br />The movie does have its funny moments but overall the movie isn't worth watching. <br />... | "Dolemite" is the touching story of an abandoned Mexican girl that makes it big with the help of her good friends. I saw it when it came out in 1978 and remembered it well. At a time when few other films were portraying Hispanic characters, this one was an exception, focusing on an individual from another culture. Many... |
I love the so-called "blaxploitation" films and have seen dozens. Some, such as COTTON COMES TO HARLEM, SHAFT and HAMMER have excellent production values and are very entertaining, while many others are very cheap and silly, but still entertaining, such as BROTHERHOOD OF DEATH or COFFEY. However, DOLEMITE manages somet... | 0neg | I love the so-called "blaxploitation" films. They seem so dated today, and yet at the time, they were fresh and fun. And with their abundance of wonderful soundtrack music, they definitely made me want to do and buy more dancing.<br /><br />Now that there's a DVD set available, check it out. These are no worse than the... | I love the so-called "blaxploitation" flicks, but this one was so bad, it should have been called "WORSEXPLOITATION." A white man and his black wife rent a little cabin in the woods, only to be terrorized by the wife's brother (the WORST acting "talent" I have ever witnessed) and a group of very unexciting black people... |
It's so fake! The plot seems like a generic adaptation of the average blaxploitation film. The common themes of blaxploitation like racism, oppression and fighting for the integrity of your community are outlined so simplistically/shallowly. And the jokes aren't even funny! Dolemite does these stand up monologue comedy... | 0neg | It's so fake! The plot is so incredibly weak! The casting, acting, costuming and everything else has got to be the worst I've seen in recent years. And to think, this is a movie aimed for the kids! It was so over the top and stupid, you'll think I'm kidding. You can even see the wires holding up the horses. And yes, th... | It's so fake! The plot is as bad as it could be and the jokes are just "too" bad. I do agree on this point that the movie wasn't supposed to be realistic, but it was just too bad. The whole idea of the movie sucks, it's about "a day that will change the course of history or something". It's too boring and unrealistic! ... |
As a Bruce Campbell fan for nearly two decades, I was thrilled to have an opportunity to see his latest film on the big screen with the man himself in attendance. Unfortunately, "Man with the Screaming Brain" was itself a disappointment.<br /><br />Set in Bulgaria--where the Sci-Fi Channel makes its Saturday night orig... | 0neg | As a Bruce Campbell fan, I expected this to be a real stinker since this was just another example of the "anything you have Bruce Campbell can't be that bad" mentality of his fans. Let me first say how WRONG I was. The only reason I didn't give it a 1 was the fact that they didn't use more nudity than needed and that t... | As a Bruce Campbell fan, I thought I couldn't miss this. It was a very disappointing entry in the series. They had a great concept, but didn't capitalize on it. They had great actors that didn't seem to have the time/money to do it right. It looked like the producers had 3 weeks to work with and a day to shoot in. My o... |
Written by, directed by and starring the champ of camp Bruce Campbell. Easy on its easy to tell this is a budget on a shoestring affair; filmed independently in Bulgaria. All I can really say for sure is that silly is not always funny. Campbell plays an affluent American business man with a cheating wife(Antoinette Byr... | 0neg | Written by, directed by and starring the incredibly talented John Waters (Pecker) the film gives a new meaning to the word "wreckage"
It doesn't have to be an extremely entertaining film or give a meaningful message to be a success.<br /><br />The film in my opinion is a very powerful piece of work that gives you a gli... | Written by, directed by and starring one of her most frequent actors, Robert Redford was never the strength of Deanna Durbin. In "A Chorus of Youngsters," he does it again. There are no redeeming aspects to this film, and to its credit, few are in the movie.<br /><br />If this was Deanna's feature debut, it certainly w... |
I'm 35. Bruce was THE man in Evil Dead, and I still love to watch ED1 and ED2.

I enjoy B movies. I think Bruce Campbell is a very watchable actor. I love how he delivers his lines. 'Evil Dead 2 and 'Army of Darkness' were great movies. I liked 'Running Time'.

Lets get one thing out of the way. I am a HUGE Bruce Campbell fan, I have the Evil Dead series, have the action figures, and have seen Bubba Ho-Tep.

This movie stinks. The writing and acting are very poor. I give it a 1 out of 10. |
I am the kind of person who can enjoy a good B Movie if it has some kind of redeeming value to it, but Dead Space has nothing to redeem it!

Alien was excellent. Many writers tried to copy it. They all did a bad job (or almost). But Dead Space is the worst Alien copy.

I would recommend it for... | Alien was excellent. Many writers have criticised the first 25 minutes because they 'don't show the character becoming alienated' or words to that effect.

Poor second-string feature from Universal Pictures about a mama's boy movie actor doing criminal investigation work for the military, fending off the advances of the brash young woman he's been assigned to romance.

Woeful and unnecessary sequel to a bonafide classic.

Perhaps I'm being too generous when I give this film two and a half stars out of five, but there was an occasional moment. However, as "An American Werewolf" movie this one is a missed chance!

I was a fan of the AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON movie and so was curious whether a 16-year later sequel could be done with French language and local re-cast major, supporting, and minor characters.

This film probably would have been good,if they didn't use CGI (computer generated imagery)for the werewolf scenes.It made the creatures look fake and the werewolves looked cartoonish.CGI is great for certain effects like the dinasours in Jurassic Park or Twister.But when we see a film where the creature must look comp... | 0neg | This film probably would have been made if the director of Jaws hadn't been working in Italy when I saw it in my local drive-in.

In conclusion this isn't a really good film, I would defini... |
An American Werewolf in London had some funny parts, but this one isn't so good. The computer werewolves are just awful: the perspective is all off, it's like seeing them through a distorting mirror.

Jeff Speakman never really made it beyond the lowest ranks of martial-artists-turned-actors (lower than Don "The Dragon" Wilson, for example), and with vehicles like "The Expert", you can see why.

Oh, well I thought it should be a good action, but it was not.

I think I would probably not hate this movie if I spoke Polish.

Personally, the book was a very well written, amazing, thrilling piece that was not brought to justice to the movie.

I went to see this movie tonight, trying to keep an open mind. I had hoped to enjoy a movie that I expected to be different from the book.
