This is one of those movies I watched, and wondered, why did I watch it? What did I find so interesting about it? Being a truck driver myself, I didn't find it very realistic. No, I've never used a 'lot lizard', nor have I ever seen, nor heard about one traveling around the country in a brand new seventy thousand dolla... | 0neg | This is one of those films that just shouldn't be made because it's awful and this one makes no exceptions. Even for the 73's, this is absolutely atrocious by all means.<br /><br />First, the screenplay is just terrible. The whole thing is just so very bad that I'm just baffled at how anyone could make it into a movie.... | This is one of those movies that was just over the top at the time of its release that was later found to be quite dated. Some time around 1999 or 2000 I watched this movie and was disappointed. I then thought and was convinced that this was a film made for children and its target audience was children. Later, I would ... |
Really, average is the only word that comes to my mind when you see this.<br /><br />The acting was average (maybe a bit above average), the camera usage was average (actually below average. The picture was so shaky and the colors were grainy and blurry.) The plot was a good one but moved at such a slow pace and wasn't... | 0neg | Really, average is the only word I can really find to describe the 20th (and final) season of the old American sitcom "The Brady Bunch". I am not a big fan of the "Brady Bunch" show, because it became repetitive after about 8th season. It was still decent in 2003 when the show was still on TV with "Wrestler Mike" on th... | Really, average is the only word to describe the film, but I have to ask- what's better than average? In fact, nothing, even so this film is a great movie! In my opinion, it's the best film made by the Walt Disney company, even better than the recent "Beauty and the Beast" and "Cinderella" are. All the characters seem ... |
i have one word: focus.<br /><br />well.<br /><br />IMDb wants me to use at least ten lines of text. okay. let's discuss the fine points of focus. i don't know about the rest of you, but in my first year of film school they taught us a lot of useless crap, like 'you'll all be famous avant-garde filmmakers someday'--but... | 0neg | i have one word: focus.<br /><br />this movie doesn't know if it wants to focus on the zombie or the woman. you have a woman with a 1st person camera point of view, and that's cool, but don't keep playing with our attention by changing what's in focus.<br /><br />this movie doesn't know where its going with the woman, ... | i have one word: focus.<br /><br />I'm not sure if this movie is supposed to be art or not, but I'm tired of watching a bunch of pointless visuals.<br /><br />There are too many "twists, turns, and shocks" (which is what "shock" really means) sprinkled throughout the film. Every time something happens in the movie, you... |
Now, I loved "Lethal Weapon" and "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", but I cannot believe Shane Black wrote this pile...or that David Morse and John C. McGinley are in it. I screened it for a film festival. Awful. Everyone was laughing. It's preachy and heavy handed...not to mention stupid. Also, it's surprising how little L.A. loo... | 0neg | Now, I loved "Lethal Weapon" when I saw it first, and I recently saw it again, and still enjoyed it. And I loved this.

The scenes where the cops are in the... | Now, I loved "Lethal Weapon" when I saw it initially. I really did. I thought it was one of the best action films of the eighties and that Michael Dudikoff was the coolest action star of that decade (if not of all time).<br /><br />Then, "The One" hit the screen and all seemed lost, but my faith had never been shaken. ... |
It's been over 30 years now but I still remember that this movie was the worst I've ever seen. I would have thought that in this length of time something worse would have been filmed but I was mistaken.

However I did see it in my early teen years and it has lived on in my memory ever since.

The best scene of "The People Across The Lake" is the genuinely creepy, nightly opening-scene featuring a house, a murder & a lake. After that, it's pretty much downhill from there on as far as the horror is concerned. A family (mom, dad, sister & younger brother) is fed up with the (mildly) dangerous environment of su... | 0neg | The best scene of "The Thief: All Things Considered" occurs when our three thieves are on the run, but rather than running away, the trio just stand around and mope a bit.

This movie includes 2 well known actors I have previously enjoyed watching. There actions are great and each action is heart felt.

Closet Land is a nasty piece of work with superb actors. Nothing more (or less) happens in the movie besides the unending abuse of an attractive woman prisoner by a sadistic police official. The setting is minimalist. This might be considered soft core S&M porn because the drama is devoid of all reference points such a... | 0neg | Closet Land is a nasty look at the plight of the child molesting gay neighborhood priest living with his 19 year old virgin lover.

There are plenty of scenes to enjoy here -- sex scenes involving the blind and the mentally handicapped, a zombie that has been lying in his grave for years, a ver... |
This is possibly the hands down worst movie every made, that actually took itself seriously. And not as a result of the acting, because being an actor, I have to say that Rickman and Stowe had to be at their best, just to escape needing electro convulsive therapy after the principle photography wrapped. Being one of th... | 0neg | This is possibly the handsomest and most stylish TV series ever presented with the title of "Barnaby Jones". It seems to be a combination of "Mister Roberts" on one side and a cross between all the American police TV shows with "Lindsay & Cromwell" on the other side. In fact, the only show on an American TV set during ... | This is possibly the hands-down worst movie I've ever seen, and I've seen some DOOOOOM ones.<br /><br />It's the worst movie of all time because it's incredibly awful on practically every level imaginable. It's so bad that it somehow manages to be entertaining in its awfulness, like a train wreck that you just can't lo... |
I classify this as the worst movie of all time.<br /><br />If there ever was a movie I would wish upon my enemies, this would be it. The plot is ridiculous, there are only 2 characters, and the coincidences between these characters just completely strain belief.<br /><br />These factors combined to make this an extreme... | 0neg | I classify this as the 'Best of the Best' out of all of the "The Hills Have Eyes" titles. It is also the only entry in the series I would actually consider worthy of production.<br /><br />To call it a horror movie would be an insult to viewers of horror movies. It is no more. It is action entertainment. And a great on... | I classify this as the worst "comedy" I've seen in a long time. Don't get me wrong, I love comedy, i like being able to laugh, and I'm sure there are worse movies out there, but this movie is pretty bad.<br /><br />First off, not much happens. The story isn't really there, the jokes aren't there. Basically, there's a b... |

Dr. Lucio Fulci (Lucio Fulci) is a director of gory horror movies who is starting to feel the effect of having filmed too many bloody scenes.

I am a big fan of sci-fi movies. So, when I saw this movie in the EPG, I thought I was in for a pleasant evening. What a disappointment ! Such a poor display of "special" effects I could not imagine in 1980, but in 2005 ? Come on, why would you do special effects of an helicopter flying in the desert when you can film ... | 0neg | I am a big fan of Asian cinema, but when it comes to Hong Kong action cinema, I'm one of the biggest. Films like "The Karate Kid", with Jean-Claude Van Damme, "The Exterminator", and "Commando", with Chuck Norris, are among the most influential films. "Bloodsport II" is very similar to those, as it features many non-As... | I am a big fan of Italian horror flicks (or spaghetti, as the saying goes.

What do you get when you put Lou Diamond Philips, Todd Bridges, Barry Corbin with a bad toupee, and an alien all on a train?

You get a bland piece of work (with a few exceptions of comedic value) that just doesn't ring true in any of its attempts... |
This is fairly typical for the Sci-Fi Channel: one-dimensional characters, a ridiculous plot, and terrible special effects. We've got some alien sock puppets loose on a train, and Lou Diamond Phillips does his best with what little he's given to eke out a performance. And save the day. Everyone else in this is utterly ... | 0neg | This is fairly typical for the 1930's. It's a musical. It has a plot with music. It's well acted.<br /><br />This movie is a good classic. I have to be quite a musical buff to be able to say that. I would recommend this to anybody who likes good classic movies. | This is fairly typical for the time: the government in 1953 thought everyone was paranoid! Or as we now say, too smart but too easily scared! <br /><br />The movie has just two leads, played by Rock Hudson and Lauren Bacall. I didn't know that they were a couple at that time but they seem to have chemistry together. Sh... |
It is way beyond me how this script was ever sold much less produced and distributed. The dialogue was so bad it was sickening. The train and helicopter scenes appeared to have been done on flash cards by high school students. Lou Diamond Phillips must have hidden under his seat when this --- this "movie"? was shown at... | 0neg | It is way beyond me how is it possible to make a film so idiotically awful. After the first 25 minutes, you may start yelling in frustration after this piece of crap that they have no redeeming quality other than the fact that its a waste of 7 minutes of your life. <br /><br />A guy that lives in an empty warehouse tri... | It is way beyond me how this movie could fail even a grade schooler's critical skills, let alone what these producers thought were "humorous" and "entertaining" lines. There are too many mistakes on this movie: first, the "military" in the beginning are wearing the right kind of uniform, and the "military" who are call... |
Watching ALIEN EXPRESS inspired feelings of awe, shock, pity and, yes, sheer terror. To think that actors who have done good work in the past should come to something like this. The horror, the horror.<br /><br />Tell me if any of this sounds familiar.<br /><br />A train especially built for a political campaign is on ... | 0neg | Watching ALIEN EXPRESS inspired feelings of deja vu. This film reminded me of watching ALIEN 2 with the exception that instead of having a single villain you have lots of evil creatures that come at you from every corner of your screen.<br /><br />The acting is sub-par and the plot lines are so similar to ALIEN 2 that ... | Watching ALIEN EXPRESS inspired feelings of joy and awe in most of our viewers, although some critics say it's not the best film of 1902. ALIEN EXPRESS is about one of the oldest stories of the cinema in which a young couple travels across a desert on holiday and runs into an alien that gives the couple food, water, an... |

We all know that special effects cost money, but it seems as if they could have used the money they saved writing the script to get some better shots.

I did my best to watch this two hour fiasco.

Not a terrible movie... But there are monster scenes where you will be rolling on the floor laughing - not a good thing for a action/thriller.

Barry Corbin plays a credible US senator, and Lou Diamond Phillips again gives us a decent military/police/sheri... | 0neg | Not a terrible movie... But it seemed very boring, a bit like those old Sci-Fi movies of the 70-80's. The story's pretty stupid, and I had a hard time paying attention. Don't see any reason to see it unless you really love robots. And if that's the case, they should have at least made a few more characters, they can't ... | Not a terrible movie... But at the same time, a mediocre one. Nothing great with this story... And the acting was not good enough.

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie, having spent a few (fantastic) college weeks in Barcelona myself.

With several name actors (Lance Henrikson, David Warner, Joe Don Baker), why was Jeffery Combs given the lead?

This is a film that really makes me cringe. In 1951, MGM and Looney Toons were making some of their very best cartoons--with amazing animation, exceptional backgrounds and great stories.

"When a Killer Calls" is an unusually nasty slasher flick, with some very unpleasant and unsettling sequences.

To sum it up in a nutshell, this film was disappointing and could have been shortened by twenty minutes.<br /><br />The acting was sub-par, the only decent actors of the bunch being Trisha, the killer and Molly.

This movie had horrible lighting and terrible camera movements. This movie is a jumpy horror flick with no meaning at all. The slashes are totally fake looking.

2001 is one of those movies where, if you don't like it, you are told that you don't 'get it' and need to look at the deeper meaning and symbolism.

Though the Our Gang comedies still have their followers, I've got to say that their attempt to graduate to feature films, courtesy of Hal Roach came up way short.

Also, the comic relief is replaced by a new character, a young boy... | Though the Our Gang comedies are known for being great slapstick, the very first one, THIS WAY PLEASE, is really more a comedy of the absurd.

OUR GANG got one chance at a feature film in its 22 year history, and this was the best that could be done?

"May contain spoilers" Sadly Lou Costellos' last film has the distinction of being slightly better than Abbott & Costello's last movie together "Dance With Me Henry". This movie isn't all in all outright terrible it is an amusing career misfire.

John Garfield would have ... | "May contain spoilers" Sadly Lou Costello is not really that funny if you compare this with Laurel and Hardy. Not one smile was evoked by this film's "jokes".

Dorothy Provine does the opposite here: She keeps growing and growing. I didn't detect any subtext, though.

In this brilliant and hilarious video, Dorothy shows a number of hilarious "tricks" and bits where she's got to do an imitation. |
I am a huge Robert Taylor fan and I have been trying to find all of his films. This is one I did not have, but I watched it recently on Fox Movie Channel, and was very disappointed.

I must be honest, I like romantic comedies, but this was not what I had hoped for.

This film is about a mysterious love letter that turned 4 people's love life upside down.<br /><br />The idea of the film is interesting, and the film could have been funny.

First of all, Blythe Danner doesn't look anywhere NEAR old enough to play Capshaw's daughter (and in fact she isn't -- only ten years apart).<br /><br />I understand this is supposed to be one of those magical, Moonstruck type supernatural romances but this is beyond the pale.

"The Love Letter" is one of those movies that could have been really clever, but they wasted it.

This is a movie about people receiving a love letter. Nobody knows who sent in and nobody knows who it is for. A good cast, headed up by Kate Capshaw, Tom Selleck and Ellen DeGeneres.

A movie about a mysterious love letter that puts a small town on its ear should be fun, romantic and easy-going entertainment.

Don't waste your time. The plot drags, the characters are wooden and uninteresting, the motivations of their actions are completely indecipherable.

I liked most of the dialogue, I liked the cast, I thought it was well acted.

I loved the first 15 minutes, and I loved some of the dialogue in the tribunal--which proved to be the best showcase for the director's ahead-of-its-time method acting technique--but this movie ultimately disappoints.

This movie should have been called "The Eyes of Alexander", and they should have done away with the Bogart concept altogether.
