This movie is really BAD, there is nothing appealing or worth of commentary in it except for the beautiful settings: Chilean landscape. I know I must supply four lines as a commentary for this movie, but the thing is that it is such a bad movie, that I can only say that is actually BAD. Michael Ironside is the only one... | 0neg | This movie is really BAD, really REALLY BAD. First of all, the story has no continuity. There are a few parts that are great, but overall it stinks. I will now go into the story line. The plot is, as i said before, REALLY BAD. And it is confusing. They are a group of people camping, and 3 of them get attacked or someth... | This movie is really BAD, I have got to warn you, you might have a heart attack from laughing at all these bad actors. I loved this movie, I mean, it's not a movie that is suppose to be taken seriously, it's not a horror movie, or a slasher movie, its not. But it is a really funny movie that you might find worth watchi... |
The DVD for this film is by Alpha Video--a company that almost always releases the poorest quality prints. In Alpha's defense, often that is the only print available, but the specialize in public domain and cheap-o films. If you can find another print by a different company, try it first as the print for this film is s... | 0neg | The DVD for this film is in black and white while the actual film itself is in color. It's a strange difference indeed. It is obvious this film was made at a time of great financial need. What we get in spite of these limitations is an intelligent and poignant exploration of the conflict and futility of war. This film ... | The DVD for this film states that the film was originally a project to reunite the members who starred on "The Brady Bunch". However, only a few minutes into the film it is apparent that a lot of the actors and actresses did not want to get involved. A few years after this film was made, the lead actress in this film, ... |
Director Fabio Barreto got a strange Academy Nominea for his last movie O Quatrilho. Quatrilho is a bad movie, but in Bella Donna, Barreto did one of the Worst movies of All Time. His adaptation of the novel Riacho Doce is ridiculous. Think with me how poor brazilians fishermen speak a perfect english? In the film they... | 0neg | Director Fabio Barreto got a big boost when Al Pacino's name was attached to this project. This was the same guy who directed a short segment, and then a documentary about Al, for an HBO series about celebrity drug addiction called "Requiem IV". Then Pacino appeared in the film, and then directed it, and then wrote it:... | Director Fabio Barreto got a lot of attention when he came to the industry with 'Nuit Noire' to which the title of this film 'Despertares' might refer, although i feel it also refers to the concept of 'nouvelle vague'. This film follows the lives and relationships of four couples in Lisbon. All of the films are very we... |
The movie is a happy lullaby, was made to make us sleep. And that´s what we do, as we dream about the top beautiful Natasha Henstridge. No screenplay, no deep characters, nothing special. So, let´s sleep. | 0neg | The movie is a happy one, which is an excellent way to kill off your life with a small problem in it. So far this problem never got a chance to get bigger than a flea that got eaten by your dog.<br /><br />The story is very weak. The problem with it is that no one character, is actually really memorable or real or nice... | The movie is a happy, very entertaining family movie. The story and the characters will keep your attention till the end. The acting is not great, but it's a movie for kids and it doesn't need a lot of great acting, but it does need a good story. Everyone can understand it and therefore it is a movie which is easy to w... |
Since Paul Kersey was running short of actual relatives to avenge, the third installment in the "Death Wish" saga revolves on him returning to New York to visit an old war buddy. He arrives only to find out that Brooklyn entirely changed into a pauperized gangland and that youthful thugs killed his friend and continuou... | 0neg | Since Paul Kersey was running the show in the original "Death Wish," I was looking forward to seeing him as the lead in this sequel. Unfortunately, my hopes were dashed within minutes. <br /><br />First off, Kersey's character is no longer the vigilante of legend, but instead is the owner of a karate school that takes ... | Since Paul Kersey was running for sheriff he better get some acting lessons because the most intense action scenes have to be explained by him yelling at the top of his lungs. I guess his acting lessons would run a quarter of the way into how Paul Kersey became the Night Stalker. The only thing worse was watching the e... |
The 3rd in the series finds Paul Kersey (Bronson) turning vigilante to get revenge on the thugs that murdered his old buddy. I don't know why this movie shoved me into it, but somehow it did. I found myself rooting for Bronson to wipe the floor with those punks. Every time he blew one of them away I felt good. This mov... | 0neg | The 3rd in the series is truly the best. The story of this flick is somewhat similar to The Lost World, in that it takes place on a plateau isolated from the outside world by flying monsters.<br /><br />The story is told rather episodically, and with a very low key atmosphere that is highly effective (although the mons... | The 3rd in the series seems to be a better one than the 2nd and has the best cast of them all, but it's still very disappointing.<br /><br />The cast is superb. You would think that a film that has Michael Caine, John Huston, Eli Wallach, and Burgess Meredith together on screen would be a decent drama. Well it's more a... |
Naked Deanna Troi! <br /><br />Richie's brother Chuck (from "Happy Days") with a reverse mohawk!<br /><br />Death Wish 3 has all this and more, including one clever scene where Chuck Bronson's character sets up a mousetrap like device that brains a punk when he opens the window.<br /><br />Chuck also places a board wit... | 0neg | Naked Deanna Troi! <br /><br />This movie is not as good as many of the other Corman pictures. There's no great story line, although it's not a completely bad tale. The acting is above average, with the women out-performing. But the plot is pretty dull, and the ending totally predictable. <br /><br />Deanna Troi of `St... | Naked Deanna Troi! <br /><br />I rented this movie on the basis that I had previously enjoyed the two previous films in the series by the same director - and that is not a good basis for making a decision. It's a real shame this film and the last one (which I haven't seen yet) were directed by him as he is no doubt cap... |
OK, I just flipped channels and caught DW3. I watched it knowing it would be trash..BUT..as a person who has seen tons of films, this one stands up there as one of the most purely bad films I have ever seen...I'm not kidding. It is so bad you have to watch it, like a bad accident you can't turn away from. Sometimes the... | 0neg | OK, I just flipped channels in the middle of this movie, because it looked like I was tuning in and no one had anything to say about it. The previews looked really good, I thought, but I can't say enough bad things about what I viewed. It was completely unengaging, and pretty much unwatchable. The actors were not parti... | OK, I just flipped channels at random one night and found this movie with the description and preview of it on the Guide Book. The premise was pretty bad and the whole movie was not exactly what I expected although at the start I was a tiny bit excited. I just watched it without really thinking about it too much but I ... |
"Death Wish 3" is the movie equivalent of a shooting gallery. All the characters (apart from Bronson's Paul Kersey, of course) exist merely to be killed, either as "provocation" (the good guys) or as "retribution" (the villains). The director simply pours on the mindless violence (people even get burned alive and blown... | 0neg | "Death Wish 3" is the most brutal and the most gory of the whole series. There is absolutely no humor here. The dialogues are really dumb and the whole film just a long sequence of torture-murders. The acting of all the characters is awful, even the usually fine and funny action/family-film actors like Martin Landau an... | "Death Wish 3" is the third film in the series about the New York City cop Mark "The Blade" Vada (a splendid performance by Charles Bronson whose name, by the way, is nowhere to be seen in the closing credits!), a ruthless but extremely efficient police officer who is assigned to the protection of a young girl whose li... |
This is slightly less sickening than the first two films, but otherwise it's business as usual: a scuzzy, sleazy and unbalanced slice of diseased cinema. Charles Bronson is back, blasting into action when his friend is killed by yobs terrorising the neighbourhood. Crime, you see, is up 11% in the South Belmont area... ... | 0neg | This is slightly less sickening than "Dolemite 2", though not by very much. I could have understood someone arguing that "Dolemite 3" is the best of the lot, as it is the most entertaining and contains the most nudity, though it is definitely the cheesiest. That goes especially for the plot of the movie, that of a supe... | This is slightly less sickening than the recent Hideo Gosha film "Ju-On: The Grudge" but still fairly effective. The direction is strong. The acting is good. The story is interesting. The dialogue is a bit hackneyed but not bad; the story is fairly complex with many characters, so it's hard to hold it all in your head ... |
This movie lacked credibility for two reasons. One, no mayor of a major city, and New York is certainly as major as it gets. Would allow a borough in his city to degenerate into such a violent place to live; especially for voters who could have much to say about his or her future job security. All of the victims in the... | 0neg | This movie lacked credibility for the most part. The idea that they could have a party that goes on for 22 days, get married in a matter of minutes, and be off on a perfect honeymoon, seems not only incredibly unlikely in itself, but it's difficult to believe that anyone would waste $3M on a film without a good central... | This movie lacked credibility for me. All the people I know in the Marines, this was not in their vocabulary.<br /><br />The Marines I know are smart and tough, but they don't talk the way the actor did. The film was mostly bad, for two reasons. One, I didn't find the main character to be interesting or credible. Two, ... |
This movie could very well have been a propaganda movie for the North americian falangist party - or some similar group... The strong man (Kersey) places himself above the law (but not outside the law) and liberates upstanding citizens by killing worthless trash. The only thing that made me think it wasn't made by the ... | 0neg | This movie could very well be about one of the most important things in our society: politics. If so, it is a very weak one. It does not seem like the director is trying to prove anything, and the movie can be more accurately described as a collection of various clips that are more or less loosely tied together. The sc... | This movie could very well be the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. A friend gave me this movie "as a joke". I was trying to be a good friend and watch the movie since my friend found it on the back of a shelf and said that it was funny, when I actually noticed he was going to laugh AT me watching this "thing". ... |
I was disappointed with the third film in the "Death Wish" series and wouldn't recommend this unless you are really into Bronson. He is his usual self in this one, maybe a bit lighter hearted than in the others; the rest of the cast is good if your watching a movie of the week on T.V. - the whole film has the productio... | 0neg | I was disappointed with the TV movie "The King of the Cowboys," partly because I have always been a huge Michael Landon fan. But this film just had the "made for TV" feel to it. It wasn't bad, just didn't quite make it. I still love my DVDs.<br /><br />The movie "King of the Cowboys" tells the tale of the "King," a tra... | I was disappointed with the movie (for the first part of it) and I was pleasantly amazed with the ending. I had no idea the other story lines would mesh as well as they did. I won't give out any more info, but I can tell you that I was delighted to find out that all the other relationships in the movie were resolved an... |
I would put Death Wish 3 in the same box as Stallone's Cobra and Commando. The box that I would sell for $2 at a garage sale with all the videos inside. The story is about the main character coming back from the previous movies' success to ruin it all with this load of trash. Why did the makers want to destroy the repu... | 0neg | I would put Death Wish III on the top of my list for the worst movies ever made.<br /><br />With such a premise as a mentally ill guy in a suit, I would think the worst an attempt would be made to make it good. Instead we get the worst acting I have ever seen and one of the most boring, uninteresting killings of a pers... | I would put Death Wish in the bottom 5 for this year. I've seen so many different styles like this in the recent months and not much of them were good at all. Death Wish looks good but it feels so fake. Maybe it's because all these movie makers have lost their creativity and they just can't come up with something that ... |
Three businessmen are involved in a bar fight with three mysterious men. The three businessmen take revenge, which escalates to a murder after another. Supposedly the story is about the violence that could happen to ordinary people.<br /><br />The plot has too many holes. The details were ignored in order to move the s... | 0neg | Three businessmen are involved in a plot to assassinate the President of the UK, so why not get 6 people - an American Senator, a Mexican revolutionary, a young and beautiful British doctor, a cynical assassin, a mysterious Mexican girl and some psychotic man in a wheelchair - involved? "The Intruder" starts promisingl... | Three businessmen are involved in a deadly game in this dark and gory, but highly entertaining Italian thriller from Argento.<br /><br />Like just about every single Dario Argento movie I have seen (with the exception of The Brain That Wouldn't Die and, to a limited extent, The Phantom of Opera) this is one of his most... |
Seeing this film for the first time twenty years after its release I don't quite get it. Why has this been such a huge hit in 1986? Its amateurishness drips from every scene. The jokes are lame and predictable. The sex scenes are exploitative and over the top (that is not to say that Miss Rudnik does not have nice boob... | 0neg | Seeing this film for the first time in over 40 years was a surprise--it's hard to put your finger on exactly what it is that's so affecting and yet strangely different about it, but you feel it throughout the film and the movie stays with you for some time to come.<br /><br />The film certainly has its flaws, as does o... | Seeing this film for the first time last night on TCM, I thought it looked terrific, then I started to realize who I was watching and then I got nervous. The fact that this film stars the author of "To Kill a Mockingbird," Harper Lee, was almost an insult to my intelligence. Now this is not to say that some of her scre... |
This tale of the upper-classes getting their come-uppance and wallowing in their high-class misery is like a contemporary Mid-Sommerish version of an old Joan Crawford movie in which she suffered in mink. Here, people behave in a frightfully civilized manner in the face of adversity. A well-heeled London solicitor, (To... | 0neg | This tale of the upper-classes is an extremely beautiful story. Some of the scenes show some shocking actions for the 60's by today's standards, but this does not detract from the story. The acting is good, with a few standouts - Michael Craig as Tom, who gets the better of everything he tries to achieve, Robert Powell... | This tale of the upper-classes of London is the best show on British television. I love all the characters; the story lines are interesting; the dialogue is first class; the writing is brilliant. The cast is amazing, with a wonderful supporting cast, none of which can be listed here because the limit of ten is not appl... |
I was pulled into this movie early on, much to my surprise, because I hadn't intended to watch it at all. Now I wish I hadn't. The suspense starts out well, with the hit-and-run resulting in death and the question of whether the guilty character will confess, or be found out, or (doable now, though a no-no in the old d... | 0neg | I was pulled into this movie by the title, as it was written in a style that I had never seen before. Even the description I found didn't capture the weirdness I found inside. There are no great performances, nor is this film a deep meditation on some subject. What you're getting is more of a quirky little horror movie... | I was pulled into this flick by its cool, futuristic looking trailer, which is actually from the full movie. I was excited when I turned on the movie and the trailer starts rolling, a few seconds later a big surprise is revealed and the audience around me goes "Whoa".<br /><br />So... this movie starts out with a cute ... |
I'm a huge fan of both Emily Watson (Breaking The Waves) and Tom Wilkinson (Normal) and was amused to see them upstaged by Rupert Everett (Dellamorte Dellamore) in this shockingly rather minor movie that had all the ingredients to be so much more. The too brief scenes in which he portrays a languid, infinitely entitled... | 0neg | I'm a huge fan of horror and sci-fi...but this movie is lame.<br /><br />It's not so much the cheesy effects of the 'alien' beings, which are pretty cool in certain scenes, but it's mainly the horrible script. The dialog can be painful to listen to in places - it would seem as though they just wanted to show off some a... | I'm a huge fan of David Lynch. My favorites of his are "Twin Peaks" and "Blue Velvet." This movie was a disappointment. I have tried to watch this movie a few times and never succeeded. I think this movie was a rip off of the "Panic in the Streets" and "The Thing." (The way the government treats the people, the way the... |
First of all, I would like to say that I am a fan of all of the actors that appear in this film and at the time that I rented it, I wanted to like it.<br /><br />I think that the main reason that I was so disappointed was that the outside box promised me a suspense thriller. In my eyes, a suspense thriller for British ... | 0neg | First of all, I would say that I am not a big fan of "American" films, for I come from South Korea myself, and I think that I am the same generation and culture, as my parents and I are. When I watch American movies that are supposedly 'action' flicks, and that include things that seem a total lie. For example, in this... | First of all, I would like to start by saying the cinematography and design was awesome. It was so impressive when i started up the trailer to this film.<br /><br />But now let me say what i think about the storyline. It was just plain stupid with an unbelievable ending. I mean honestly, we all knew who the killer was ... |
The basic genre is a thriller intercut with an uncomfortable menage-a-trois. Fellowes has tried to make a lot more out of this, using the lies of the title in order to bring about all manner of small twists, invariably designed to surprise the characters more than the audience.<br /><br />It's really rather messy thoug... | 0neg | The basic genre is a ghost story with good reason. The story is really more of a ghost story that comes to life as it goes along. The main story is very old. (It was in the 40's!) About two guys go to some spooky house. One is a man named Charles Lane, and the other goes by the name of Richard Carstone - He's going the... | The basic genre is a romance, and what's so bad about a good romance, if it is done well? Too many movies (and more books and TV shows) have been about romance for that to be considered something different than a genre... but the romance genre has been done so extremely well for so many years that we tend to forget tha... |

Writer & director Robert Downey, Sr., a pioneer of the underground film movement in the 1960s, satirized the New York Madison Avenue advertising world with his avant-garde comedy "Putney Swope." Downey doesn't confine his ridicule to advertising, but tackles black militant culture, the dynamics in Hollywood's portrayal... | 0neg | Writer & director Robert Downey, Jr. turns in a solid thriller about a young woman with psychic powers and her battle to keep her powers and her sanity. Well, the sanity bit would have come in a lot easier had downey's script been a little more sane! Downey has given us a decent, interesting movie. The movie is solidly... | Writer & director Robert Downey, Jr. and writer Charles B. Pierce apparently wrote this movie together as an attempt to make a 'funny' or a 'smart' comedy on the level of 'The Naked Gun: The Blue Spy' but instead made one of the most insufferable films of all-time, not only because of the bad jokes (and the film is mos... |
Black and white satire of a Madison Avenue ad agency being taken over by blacks. They're headed by Putney Swope (Arnold Johnson) who is determined to change things. However he turns out to be even WORSE than his white predecessors. That's about as original as this gets.<br /><br />I'm sure this was considered daring an... | 0neg | Black and white satire of the highest order. It's the '50s.

The director was in it in a minor part, so I know some things weren't quite right (but then again, I may have made them worse by editing things...). The best satire I've ever seen. |
I think Downey was perhaps inspired by French new-wave.<br /><br />Who wasn't?<br /><br />Unfortunately, what he ended up creating here was more along the lines of crackhead new-wave.<br /><br />A synapse is obviously a terrible thing to lose and Downey appears to have lost plenty. <br /><br />Just say no, indeed. In m... | 0neg | I think Downey was perhaps a bit too mature, and his character just not "funny enough", but when compared against this latest comedy by the British team behind Hot Fuzz, I think Hot Fuzz should be titled "Hot F***z" as it's even more ridiculous than this one.<br /><br />Some great British actors are wasted on this movi... | I think Downey was perhaps miscast in my opinion. I usually like him but here he just seemed as though he didn't really understand the role, I wouldn't have thought him an effective writer until reading about the writer. He seemed in a way as though he was trying to over compensate for his shortfalls rather than doing ... |
This is a poor excuse for a movie. A film noir done by Busbee Berkeley? Please!

Along with a group of other guys, he hel... | 0neg | This is a poor excuse to use every clichéd stereotype about women, men, cops, ex-cops, lawyers, doctors, religious fanatics, the military, the government, etc. without the slightest provocation or justification whatsoever.

The Monkees "Head" is one of those peculiar phenomenons I've noticed- that when something doesn't make sense, people will try to read things into it and give it great deep meanings, which its creator never intended.

As their entire career was a pale impersonation of The Beatles, it is no surprise that, shortly after the great fiasco of the Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour," the Monkees would follow up with their own insipid and creative morass of a movie, called "Head."

Being a history buff, I rented this movie because of the subject matter. The idea of the Ellis Island experience at the turn of the century focusing on one small group is intriguing.

The most generic, surface-level biography you could hope for. Busey's impersonation of Holly is accurate -- but who wants to hear Gary Busey sing "Maybe Baby"? Typically, the members of the Hollies are used for comic relief and melodrama (Smith and Stroud, respectively) instead of as people or even characters. When Hol... | 0neg | The most generic, surface-level biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald ever to be made should be avoided at all costs. With only the most cursory knowledge of his work and life, the writer/director/producer/builder of "City of Angels" (a very loose and, at times, unfaithful version of Scott's life) gives viewers no reason to... | The most generic, surface-level biography I have seen. This is as though they've taken a standard script for one of these "great minds of man" biographical documentaries and merely altered names and places.

I always think it would be nice if you could somehow have a 'sneak preview' at some of the old movies that are re-released on DVD, before you purchase them.

This movie would have been alright, indeed probably excellent, if the directors would have left the interviews and the concert footage separate. "Into the Void" is a great song, and I hate how it is cut off at the best part to go to an mumbling interview with Ozzy Osbourne. That should have been at the end of the film,... | 0neg | This movie would have been great if it hadn't been for the stupid ending. It was terrible. Not that I blame the actors, of course.

To remake "Lost Horizon", as a musical, the need for a Rodgers & Hammerstein or Lerner & Lowe type musical composition was needed. Burt Bacharach and Hal David were the wrong choice.

The cast, is made... | 0neg | To remake "Lost Horizon", as the makers of "Cabin by a Lake" did so many years ago, was a good idea.

However, I was impressed by the filming locations: many of the same as featured in the origin... | To remake "Lost Horizon", as the original had the distinction "no sequel," would be an extremely tough act.

I can imagine what happened for this film to come into being: a bunch of studio guys are sitting around, drinking gin-and-tonic, maybe a joint, and one of them comes up with the idea that it would be great if they could find a film that would bridge the generation gap, which at that time was about as far apart as Archi... | 0neg | I can imagine what happened.

Watching Showtime I got the impression that the producers got the idea to put Robert DeNiro and Eddie Murphy just for the sake of having a film that co-starred the two of them. Other than that I can't think of a reason to justify the film's existence. Not that it isn't amusing in spots, it certainly is, but the concept... | 0neg | Watching Showtime I got the feeling, that the acting in one episode was only slightly better, in comparison to the next episode.

With all the hype surrounding the stars of the movie, this movie left me wanting.

I rented this movie primarily because it had Meg Ryan in it, and I was disappointed to see that her role is really a mere supporting one.

I saw this movie a while ago and I was looking forward to it.

The most accurate description of how Billy Crystal fairs in "My Giant" is to say that this movie is to his career as "Ishtar" was to Warren Beaty's - it didn't ruin it, but it slowed it down.......a lot.

Seriously, I don't understand how Justin Long is becoming increasingly popular. He either has the best agent in Hollywood, or recently sold his soul to Satan.

Let me start by saying that there's really no reason to watch this movie.

I see absolutely nothing funny---even remotely funny---in this stupid movie. An unrealistic, silly, ridiculous idea--just completely ridiculous. Hard to believe that the main character, who seems so articulate, intelligent and imaginative, would not be accepted to any college. Even more difficult to believe is that no ... | 0neg | I see absolutely nothing funny---even the lame and ridiculous plot-twists do not achieve a single chuckle.

I wasn't so impressed with this film, finding it quite tiresome and plain.

All I can say is, this movie is made for the Lifetime Channel on TV, which means no solid characters, no particular style, weak acting all kinds of suggested sex but no-breasts and tushs (because boy, that would just catapult the film into the depths of sleaze wouldn't it?) but the heavily simulated sex, well, that's O... | 0neg | All I can say is, my goodness, the film makers were really trying to pack a lot of emotion into a short amount of time.

I do not know what some of these filmmakers are thinking, by making the same type of clichéd film over and over, where the bad guys (bad girls in this case) win. Weak acting and very predictable.

It borrowed scenes from LOTR, Matrix, Star Wars, etc. The humor is so dry, contrived, and corny, that you can't help but laugh occasionally at its inanity and the fact that you are watching it.
