I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW yesterday, and while I was preparing to go on to it, it occurred to me that I have seen what might be the second, third and fourth sex films of the 1960s - the others being BENEATH the STAIR and DESPERATION. I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW is the most artistic of the group, being also the most avant ga... | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW as part of a bargain lot I had for an auction, where I paid $1.50 for the 2-disc set. I am a huge cult movie buff, and I've seen a TON of cult movies I've never even heard of, and I've come across hundreds of people who love cult movies to the point where they are like, "Oh, you haven't wat... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW on a whim. Why? The cover was very unique. The cover was so attractive for one picture that I had to buy it for my collection. The movie is very interesting and it is unique indeed. It is hard to classify this film even though it does have some traits of pornography (without nudity). Its ve... | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW (PANORAMA) because it got a lot of good reviews and it starred one of my favorite actresses, Suzy Kendall. This movie was very ahead of it's time. Just about everything in this movie makes no sense that's probably why not many people actually understand it. The story line was very confusing... | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW (it came on my TV station) and even enjoyed it, considering it had been 6 years since I had seen it for the first time. Granted, the story was a bit corny and dated looking in 1999. But the film is a brilliant display of early sex realism, and there was much to it that I found both enjoyabl... | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW as a foreign film in my freshman World Cinema class, along with several other European films that I fell in love with at the time and enjoyed watching again for the first time recently. Yellow has an interesting plot but I didn't really enjoy it.<br /><br />I had high expectations for Yello... | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW, and I was very impressed with it. Although it is a rather rough watch compared to the American films of the time, it tells stories of a young woman, Lena, that is very well made. I actually liked the film and it gave me a lot of insight to young people of the 1970's. I would highly recomme... | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW because I'm from Sweden (I live in Norway) and have been watching it several times over the years (I have 6 copies), but every time I see it, I realize how ahead of it's time it is, and it never grows old in it's rawness. This film is probably the one film that made I Am Curious-Blue a huge... | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW because of its Oscar win in the directorial category of the Venice Film Festival that year. That award by itself should have told me to be careful in what way the film wanted to engage me. As it turns out, the Venice selection was not a great piece of picking (since the movie is extremely c... | I rented I AM CURIOUS-YELLOW because it starred a young and pretty-looking Frida Bjork. I was not disappointed - it's an excellent and well-made film. Bjork does a great job in the first half of the film. She plays a naive teenage girl, in love with her older brother. You can see their innocent love for each other grow... |
"I Am Curious: Yellow" is | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is a film that was banned for more than a decade in Sweden, on the grounds that it contains gratuitous simulated homosexuality. The ban has been lifted since, but it remains a landmark, not only in cinematic history, but in cultural history, since its release coincided with the advent of the gay ... | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is a film that not even the biggest exploitationist lover could truly appreciate. It is one of the worst films ever made, even for the exploitationist crowd, and I can't even find the motivation to praise the film. There are many movies that are incredibly bad but entertaining, and there are film... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is quite interesting, although I can see why it caused an upheaval in the wake of its release. It's not the kind of film you can see with your kids (not that I'd want my kids to see it at any stage in their lives), and it is very explicit. For those of you who are too young to remember, the mid-7... | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is one of Sweden's most famous movies, and one of director Lennart Hultén's. This is probably a good quality movie when compared to a lot of other American and European movies, which is the only reason why one can tolerate it, considering that it deals with sex, violence and racism. The plot is w... | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is the most radical film I've ever seen. I would have been much scarred at an age when you're particularly vulnerable to such films. I see why there was so much hype about it. If it is true that the movie was banned in the U.S. in its day for 32 years, I really cannot imagine a reason why. What m... | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is perhaps the single most controversial film ever made.<br /><br />The "Yellow" refers to the fact that the film deals in an intimate and straightforward way with human sexuality. Both male and female nude bodies are seen in graphic detail. But the film also deals with pornography, the commodifi... | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is a documentary about a young girl and her journey to understanding her sexuality. It's a documentary that's as much about coming of age while struggling with sexuality as it is about the struggle to make a documentary.<br /><br />I'm glad I saw this short before sitting down to watch the featur... | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is the first in what I believe is a trilogy of experimental films by Swedish director Ulas Lundstal. In this case, it is very literal as a film crew is shooting a small film and the crew become the characters that are being watched while being filmed. The cast is very good (especially the young a... | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is a fascinating example of the kind of work filmmakers and artists were creating in the 1960s and 1970s. This is not a conventional narrative film, it is more of a documentary or documentary film with a story, about the sex and sexuality of a young student, an American teenager from a 1960s Cali... | "I Am Curious: Yellow" is one of the most fascinating films ever made, certainly the first one I've seen. The documentary-style movie shows a teenage girl's first days outside of her house in Stockholm, capturing all the details very vividly.<br /><br />The girl, Linda (Maria Sjöman), has just reached the age of 15 and... |
If only to avoid making | If only to avoid making a fool of yourself, don't go for this film! I am disappointed and hurt by the low quality of this movie. I didn't expect such a high and boring story. Why would I want to spend almost 2 hour on such a story?<br /><br />I don't think the director really made much of a film from this story. The sc... | If only to avoid making your child angry at such a well known "classic" of the early 1980s. Although it does get high marks for its campiness, it also offers high marks for some of the worst editing and special effects I've seen. (How you could have a spaceship with a futuristic 3-D control panel yet have a woman speak... | 0.22234 | 0.77766 | If only to avoid making my children laugh when we next watch it, this is one Disney DVD I will keep out of the hands of my three year old.<br /><br />This Disney cartoon version of the popular fairy tale starring Cinderella is fun to watch, but may not be great for children under 10 or 12.<br /><br />I personally like ... | If only to avoid making mistakes like "Warlock". This is the one case where Hollywood has done better than this by making the original series, then making some minor changes to the movie and then giving it to the Sci-Fi Channel to do its own. "Warlock" is just too good a movie that we just need to see it as a feature m... | If only to avoid making another, I would give this film 2 out of 10. However, with many young actors (including the future Bambi) and excellent film photography taken at the actual locations, it has to get at least one extra star. It is a pity that no other film of this era has a copy quality as good as the one I saw. | If only to avoid making a movie like this. It is a terrible film made and edited for the camera. If you are a fan of Peter O'Toole, try to catch his performance in "Lawrence Of Arabia". There is nothing special in this film except for O'Toole's acting abilities. But do yourself a favor and check out his earlier film wo... | If only to avoid making a similar mistake... This movie made me laugh, and laugh hard, sometimes. Especially with lines such as the "Candy Cane" line, and the "Don't Look, Don't Touch, Don't Taste, and all the rest. I have seen a few episodes of the show, and thought that it may have the potential to be something good.... | If only to avoid making comparisons to such film greats as the Grigoriy Kozintsev, who made a similar film about a young boy, the story of "Kolchak: Vampires & the Underworld" isn't as good a job telling a good vampire story. But, this is a movie by Carpenter after all, so we really can't call it a bad movie.<br /><br ... | If only to avoid making such bad films like "Pulp Fiction," we should all learn something from this little masterpiece. The film has a lot to say about the "heroism of small things," or as in the film "heroic things in small ways." Here are several examples. <br /><br />First, is the use of a hand held camera. It's too... | If only to avoid making the same film over and over. To that end I've decided to check off the following films this year as they're required viewing to appreciate current releases: Chinatown, The Wild Bunch, Black Narcissist, The Man That Killed Liberty Valance, Taxi Driver, Blade Runner, Pulp Fiction, 2001: A Space Od... |

The producers wanted to cash in on that success and so they took a great deal of liberties with the original script.<br /><br />The film's producers took the novel's story of the American invasion of Japan, and ... | This film was probably inspired by the 1964 film, The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao. <br /><br />Lao was a good guy and the movie seemed very silly. The title character in this film is a good guy. You can tell from the first minute or two. The bad guys are the only characters in this film you could care less about. I don't mean t... | 0.389087 | 0.610913 | This film was probably inspired by a novel that is about a serial killers. I've never read the book yet, but I would sure like to read it. I've read about this killer in the news, and thought it was a real life version of the killer that they made up for this film.<br /><br />Tom Savini did a fine job of portraying his... | This film was probably inspired by the 1980 film, "The Burning Bed of Edward Doter". While watching it today, I was reminded that "Dog Soldiers" is a prequel of sorts to that film. (The original film starred James Russo in the same role). It is a simple story, more focused of the journey itself than actual battle scene... | This film was probably inspired by the original, "Dracula." As a fan of the film and the story, I was quite satisfied by this movie. There are subtle differences in the tale. Renfield is portrayed as an insane old man rather than a young man under the influence of Satan. The only thing I did not like is the lack of a c... | This film was probably inspired by "The Great Escape" (1963) starring Steve McQueen and many other. The main character Tom Cruise and his buddy are caught. The same thing also happens to the pilot who is shot out of the plane when trying to make a crash landing over a sea.<br /><br />Tom Cruise is great, while you have... | This film was probably inspired by the book the author gave to Spielberg and it has many amazing scenes that can take your breath away. This movie doesn't lack in any direction. I've seen many movies with breathtaking cinematography and this movie has a wonderful setting. The actors of this film all gave great performa... | This film was probably inspired by the real experiences of many ex-infantrymen returning from WW2. (I was a young lad when the film was made and saw it at the cinema in Dundee but I'm surprised I never heard of it and thought it must be a comedy) But I can recall some young soldiers from the regiments I was in returnin... | This film was probably inspired by the real life tragedy of the death of a teenager on a mountain. The film is based on a true story. I've seen this before, so I know how the story ends. I'm not going to tell you the ending. Go see it for yourself!<br /><br />This is a great film. There are so few films with real-life ... | This film was probably inspired in part by the success of the TV series "Freaks and Geeks", as well as the emergence of bands influenced by mid-70s indie rock. However, "Freaks and Geeks" was a brilliant scripted series, while this is basically a collection of improvised skits put together into one film. If that didn't... |

I would put this at | I would put this at 8 for the first part. The best of the three movies that came out of the early 1950's. They all were great movies, but as I watched the last two and compared them to this first one, the second simply wasn't as good. It was actually quite predictable, in my mind, which would have bothered me had it ha... | I would put this at the very bottom of the list of awful movies based on video games.

It's not very difficult from an anime fan to become immersed in the story or to just generally watch the wonderful animation. But, this one is one of those rare anime that makes the viewer think. It doesn't just throw the story out to be thought and to entertain... | I would put this at the bottom of the list of John Cassavetes's movies, even behind his "poetry". It's as if he fell in love with himself while watching himself at work. While it was obviously a great experience for him, it's not much fun for the audience. And there's not much plot. And the acting is way over the top. ... | I would put this at the top of the best movies of all-time, and the reason is not only the story, which is very engaging (you have to read the book to see how beautifully told it all is by the author - it's a wonderful experience), but it's also the performances and the cinematography that make it so fantastic.<br /><b... | I would put this at the very center of science-fiction literature.

For Pete's sake when you can't go through a pass you have an engineer, a brakeman (and nowadays a conductor), ... | Whoever wrote the screenplay for the first hour of this movie should be shot. This had to be a 1960's teen film. It was all the way campy and stupid.

The only one really involved with this is the girl with the glasses. And she just want's to be her own woman without being influenced by anyone. When she gives in to the guy she thinks... | This is said to be the most realistic German WW2 (actually any) movie ever made. The acting, script is brilliant, however it lacks some emotion that a German film needs to have in order for people in general to watch it. It contains everything a normal person would have liked to know about the war, without the over-dra... | This is said to be the best version of the "Cry Freedom" story! Why? For the most part, in fact. And as much as I enjoyed the "Cry Freedom" movie, it is in some ways inferior in comparison with the excellent miniseries version...which is well worth your while as well!<br /><br />I had enjoyed "Cry Freedom" and so I was... | This is said to be the only movie ever made with an actual member of The Beatle-George Harrison-in it. There is a lot more to this wonderful movie though: a young girl gets the chance to meet a beautiful young woman named Olivia. They form a sweetly romantic relationship where they fall in love and eventually the girl ... |
It was great to see | It was great to see my favourite movie in my birthday!! How this movie comes to my view, I don't know, because I don't remember a thing about it... But when I saw it, I fell in love with it. But the part I liked the best was the character of the sister. At the end I remember watching it again but with an other end. I g... | It was great to see Robert Mitchum again although this was not his best work, I thought. The two women, (Deanna, the wife, and Betsy, the girlfriend, each played by Dorothy Malone and Barbara Bel Geddes, were excellent. Mitchum portrayed the husband whose cheating on his wife was found out which drove him to killing he... | 0.517582 | 0.482418 | It was great to see Sean Connery back in 007 status. What surprised me was the script was actually intelligent and the action scenes were the most exciting for that generation. I was really surprised that despite a few complaints, the movie made a lot of money in theaters as well as when it was released upon DVD.<br />... | It was great to see this film on DVD. I think I was around the right age for this movie and found the film very relevant and funny as a 14 or 15 year old in 1965 and when you are my age it is a film about teenagers, teenagers that I could relate to very much. We would all have the same kind of problems and emotions as ... | It was great to see another fantastic performance by Sir Anthony Hopkins in the movie. He is my favorite actor - I really can't find words to express the kind of pleasure he provides. But what I really liked the most was the idea of his character. It's a shame he plays only villains - I'd love to see him playing some l... | It was great to see the boys from the O.C. getting back together to make this movie... even though they just wanted to be off of the show. It gave them a chance to show the movie making process. It was such a great experience. They also have a great idea that they want to feature for every movie they make. This was the... | It was great to see this film on the screen, and I was very impressed how quickly we moved from point to point, not skipping anything. I really liked how Ben Thomas portrayed Adam, and he was a fine actor. I especially liked his love with his friend in the park and how he got upset after hearing his friend's mother spe... | It was great to see the entire cast one last time in the series. This was the only way the series could have been concluded. The best actor was the late David Duchovny as Special Ed. I could relate to a person with his type of disability very well. I'm sorry to say that I can't understand those of you who found this ep... | It was great to see an early performance of young Richard Chamberlain in this movie, one of Australia's very first "art films" and a movie I have not seen in ages. I remember this movie very vividly and can't wait to show it to my own kids some day.<br /><br />I think the movie is very touching and you will probably fe... | It was great to see Peter Falk again after so many years without seeing him. But of course the most surprising and eye-opening performance came from Albert Finney as the old father who had 2 sons fighting each other for money and influence but never seeing the truth about their father's situation.<br /><br />I think Fi... |
I can't believe that those | I can't believe that those in Italy would consider this a very bad movie. They should learn that this was one of my favortites when I was growing up in the 80's. This movie did well in the US when it was first released. I enjoyed watching it over and over again. This movie is a definite 2 out of 5. | I can't believe that those involved in the making of this movie actually thought it was worth making and then spending time watching it. I wish I knew what I thought about it when I finally got to it about two hours in but in the end I think there are too many things that come through. One was a really bad 1980s music ... | 0.506409 | 0.493591 | I can't believe that those who wrote the other reviews of KISS KISS MISSISSIPPI were so critical of this movie. Why? It is a beautiful film and shows the world that you can love someone and still be true to your family. You do not have to be a slave to either side. I am not a homosexual but like and appreciate gays jus... | I can't believe that those people who think that this movie is so cool, that they give it an 8 and a 9. It's just stupid! It's so ridiculous. And I mean it's not just that the story is really stupid, but the whole way this movie was made just doesn't feel real. And they have no idea what else to do about it! I can't be... | I can't believe that those writers and producers who think that this lame comedy will make it big! The only reason they think it will is that people who enjoy the "family" fare of this film will give it a good rating. Please for heaven's sake, watch the movie before giving it a review and see for yourself if you think ... | I can't believe that those guys who did this movie ever got any part of a paycheck for their work. No wonder the director ended up being a homeless man. I can't believe that they got any studio to make this movie. It was a disaster as far as acting talent, but if anything, I blame anyone in Hollywood that made this mov... | I can't believe that those who make films of these awful plays do so and ruin a good script. This film follows the excellent play, well acted and well done. The plot is original and the script good. The acting by all is fine and there is no need to cut and change the text. I only hope to see this film again for it is a... | I can't believe that those two other IMDb users were so unimpressed by this show. (And yes, I did actually buy the DVD set, so maybe I'm a wee bit biased, but I can't say that this is the biggest reason why.)<br /><br />For one thing, some of (most of?) the actors from other shows (for example, the original Dr. Who) gu... | I can't believe that those who have commented on this masterpiece have considered this a sequel to the original. It certainly was not a sequel. It is actually a spin-off with no connection to the original, other than that it deals with the paranormal. I believe that the series should have remained the way it was when i... | I can't believe that those who write reviews like this one aren't watching the right movies! This is actually one of the best animated movies of recent memory! I really thought that The Lion King 1 1/2 would be a real hit because Timon and Pumbaa are such great characters and are so endearing and likable. I thought tha... |
Never cast models and Playboy | Never cast models and Playboy cover girls in the supporting roles. Not that there are so many actors who have the capability to deliver a real believable performance, but the ones that we have are pretty much limited. Now, this is the kind of performance which the ones with really big noses should give. We've all seen ... | Never cast models and Playboy pinups to play the roles of screenwriters and professional women. No matter how "real" I try to make their stories, without the "real" "real" women, I am left with an impression of a world that has nothing to do with the one in which I live and breathe, in which I live and breathe, and in ... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | Never cast models and Playboy playmates in real movies. They don't look like the realthing. Some actresses can't act, but at least they really look like the people they're playing in movies (i.e. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio vs. Michelle Pfeiffer, Julia Roberts vs. Julia Roberts). As actors, Kari Wuhrer and Lara Flynn B... | Never cast models and Playboy centerfolds in roles where physical appearance matters. How did the producers of this movie think that this could turn out to be anything but what it turned out to be a giant flop?!<br /><br />I realize that it was probably a huge bargain, but, the reality is that these girls just don't ... | Never cast models and Playboy Playmates in the lead roles! This is a story set in New York City; that much is obvious to the scriptwriters! Who are they expecting to pass for New Yorkers? "Buck" is a country-dweller! He was made and born to be a country boy. How he would think he is a New Yorker is beyond me. And if he... | Never cast models and Playboy bunnies and people with "movie star eyes" in the "hard-boiled" detective genre! There's simply no credibility this way. No one's ever been able to get around that one. We always have to "suspend disbelief" when watching these movies. It's a wonder some people were able to keep it together ... | Never cast models and Playboy bimbos as your stars or you'll only get the movie that was hoped for. "The Handthat Rocks the Cradle" plays as it were like a more adult "The Little Mermaid", only without the innocence. A wicked coven of witches and their pet creatures take over the life of a young woman, her husband and ... | Never cast models and Playboy bunnies as actors. They are not capable of doing it. They are only good as pretty faces and are not able to act on anything more than that. For you boys who like sexy women...go to any of the erotic stores that have videos of these models. This one is no exception. The plot is pretty much ... | Never cast models and Playboy playmates in dramatic roles - it just does not work, as these people lack a certain gravitas. That's why I like the fact that there are at least a handful of older, established actors and actresses in this film, as it is their performance that lifts this movie. The only downside is the fac... | Never cast models and Playboy bunnies in your movies, they don't look realistic, especially dancing like professional ballet dancers! I really didn't like this movie, the music by Liza Minelli wasn't a success in America and because of the 70's disco trend it wasn't even well received in Australia, but for what it was,... |
Its not the cast. A | Its not the cast. A lot of good actors in this thing but this is just dull.<br /><br />I thought maybe the movie might drag but it gets a bit worse. Once the car is turned over, it turns from 1.5 hours of story telling to 1.5 hours of car blowing things up. It's just a waste of time. And they try to make the movie dram... | Its not the cast. A good cast with great actors, I am sure you cannot go wrong.<br /><br />Its not the director...a good director can do magic, in my opinion. I think he tries, but he ends up trying way too hard.<br /><br />No, you cannot go wrong in trying to make this movie. It has everything in it. But what happens ... | 0.498044 | 0.501956 | Its not the cast. A good cast could make a movie. Its not the plot because the plot was never even explained. My mother says it was on the TV. I thought I would watch it with her though to pass the time just because she likes them so much and she didn't want to listen to my 35 cent political comment which had me gettin... | Its not the cast. A number of people in this movie went on to have decent careers (Wesley Snipes, Brian Krause, Janine Turner). But other than the two main characters, this movie is awful. There is no mystery to the movie unless you read the beginning of the book a lot. Wesley's character, Michael, is your typical poli... | Its not the cast. A great cast but the movie just falls short of being a classic. Theres still a small chance you will enjoy the film, thats up to you to look outside the box, try to get some new ideas in, the movie does have many of them.<br /><br />BUT! The script is weak in many spots, most of the time, the directin... | Its not the cast. A movie with Denzel Washington and Whoopie Goldberg and Wesley Snipes and Michael Jeter and Wesley Snipes and... well, that should be something special. But the screenplay is a disaster.<br /><br />How would you feel if someone told you that all your life you've been mistaken about the one person you ... | Its not the cast. A lot of great actors are in here. Its not the plot it has a very cool beginning and its a little slow but then its a lot of fun and full of very interesting characters. But the problem is its all thrown together. The movie seems to have been rushed out to hit the summer season. All those characters y... | Its not the cast. A great cast! Especially Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. I saw their portrayals of Tony and his son in 6 of 7. They carried the show very well. It wasn't the script. The story flowed nicely. It was the dialogue! To bad it was so over scripted with soooooooo many lines, it just bugged me to no end. I wan... | Its not the cast. A great cast with great acting abilities. Its not the direction. Good job on the story and the pacing of the movie. Its the writing. I cant think of a good movie with the same writers and director this late into the project. I wonder if maybe they changed the script as they went along. I wonder also h... | Its not the cast. A collection of great British talent including the two best ever James Bond actors is hardly likely. However there are so many great actors, its not that it's an odd couple, its just that a few are far more interesting than others. I was thinking of posting some comments of the great talents of the fi... |
Today I found "They All | Today I found "They All Laughed", which was released back in 1951, and I finally had time to watch it. I am still in awe with what I saw, which has to be one of the funniest romantic comedies that I have ever seen. The comedy is all top-notch, it's as sharp as any Hitchcock, only with more romance. Cary Grant has a rar... | Today I found "They All Laughed". It's a nice story and pretty funny in places. It also has two great comedians - Dom DeLuise and Jack Lemmon. The problem I have with this, and probably why it failed at the box office, is that it is a vehicle for Dom DeLuise. I like Dom DeLuise and Jack Lemmon both, but in this movie I... | 0.999972 | 0.000028 | Today I found "They All Laughed" on VHS at a bookstore. I bought it. It doesn't have it's full original title "The Big Steal" on the cover but that's the only other difference. If you read the comments on this website, you will see that some people consider it quite a camp classic but it's really a sweet and funny movi... | Today I found "They All Laughed" on the $1.95 DVD rental shelf at Blockbuster. I was about to pick up "House of 1000 Cats" since I had seen it back in the day and was looking for something that I could see and appreciate. But I didn't have to wait for the sequel to come in; it was sitting there waiting to watch again. ... | Today I found "They All Laughed" in the old VHS section of the video store. I happened to notice it was directed by Gene Saks from the back. I had seen "Sleeper" as well as "Funny Face", and have always liked Saks' work. Then a title caught my eye, "They All Laughed", and I decided to pick it up. It looked cool and I h... | Today I found "They All Laughed" on DVD, and saw it for the first time. I'm 40, and I actually laughed out loud. (I haven't done that in quite a while.) This, coming from someone who doesn't enjoy some of the comedies being churned out today by Hollywood, is saying something. The humor in the movie is so subtle that so... | Today I found "They All Laughed" - a wonderful movie - at a 3-for-1 rack for two bucks. My friends and I thought it was priceless; it's a must-see for fans of classic comedy. With Peter Ustinov, Maggie Smith, Robert Morley and Karl Malden it contains a lot of old-school style comedy. Though I'm no Ustinov fan, I find h... | Today I found "They All Laughed" on DVD, and I'm glad I did, I thought it was a wonderful light romantic comedy with great performances from both Streisand and Ryan O'Neal.<br /><br />Streisand does one of the most original "femme fatales" in 50's romantic classic gangster films. She's sexy (with her ample cleavage) an... | Today I found "They All Laughed" DVD with a rental.

This film is just plain | This film is just plain FUNNY. Some of you movie goers out there will feel ripped off..as I did the first time I saw the trailer (on a T.V. in a doctor's office). When my wife watched it she and I both felt ripped off. This is because the entire movie seems to be a satire on "Shine." But I believe that the makers of th... | This film is just plain terrible!<br /><br />The plot is weak and the acting is terrible. The only funny thing about this movie is watching the character "Dutch" try to act like a female. However the ending, he does not "dress as a woman". I mean his character does not become a woman or girl or the male act as a woman ... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | This film is just plain funny and I just love movies that make you laugh. I think it's funny whenever a movie makes me laugh, it's a classic. This movie is like a cross between a romance and a comedy. You're laughing and loving this movie at the same time. I will say though, if you have a low threshold for language, th... | This film is just plain funny! I had to give it a 9 because the plot got a bit predictable but the humour was consistently excellent. The plot in itself was great, I loved the 'bad man vs. good man' plot line. I only knew two characters in their original form before they met but I actually felt like I got to know them ... | This film is just plain creepy. I really can't describe it because I was so scared and disturbed by the film that I couldn't watch it to the end. The most disturbing bit comes right at the beginning, just a few minutes in to the movie. Even if you've seen the cover, you'll have to see for yourself why I'm speaking in h... | This film is just plain fun, no more, no less. I saw it one night on HBO, and I have never forgotten it. The acting is top notch, the movie has a message that is not too obvious to see, the direction, cinematography, and dialogue are flawless. It's a great adventure, and you can look forward to the surprise ending.<br ... | This film is just plain stupid from start to finish. It has all kinds of neat ideas, but they never work out to a satisfactory (or even understandable) conclusion.<br /><br />But I give it some credit for being quite imaginative at times: the "hatchling" who uses its tongue as an antenna was indeed remarkable (in spite... | This film is just plain excellent. I think people who haven't watched that much Asian cinema may be disappointed with the fact that it doesn't look at all like Hollywood films usually do. I really enjoy the way this film is shot and I loved the character, as well as the story. It also has a really cool scene in a templ... | This film is just plain, funny! I have watched it several times, and the more times I watch it the funnier it gets, or so it seems to me.<br /><br />It has a perfect cast, a great script, good direction and editing, and excellent technical production values. I highly recommend it not only to fans of comedies (many of w... | This film is just plain bad. The performances, though believable, are just to wooden and predictable to be much good to really get into. This movie is just something to watch if you have the flu, aren't sleeping and have nothing better to watch. The movie plays a lot like a soap opera, only at times it reminds of that ... |
My interest in Dorothy Stratten | My interest in Dorothy Stratten's life was piqued by a mention of her life in the 'Wild Women of Wongo' DVD documentary.<br /><br />I went online and read all I could about her but not enough. I decided to buy this documentary and watch it twice.<br /><br />I have to say I was not disappointed. What I didn't know just ... | My interest in Dorothy Stratten goes back to the time when the tragic death of her husband and her unborn 2nd child took her life at such a young age on November 26, 1990. I saw her in print back in the early 1980's when I was doing research and began collecting issues when she first graced me with her presence in Play... | 0.679614 | 0.320386 | My interest in Dorothy Stratten began a few years ago with my involvement with the film “The Incredible Women of the World”, which features five documentary films on five famous women. One of those films was on the life of the late 20th century model Dorothy Stratten. The film is very interesting in its own right, and ... | My interest in Dorothy Stratten was peaked when I read a newspaper article featuring her two sisters who spoke lovingly of their childhoods without a father. That, along with the appearance of "Diane Lane" in commercials for the movie, "Sisters", drove me to watch this movie. What I didn't realize when I went to my loc... | My interest in Dorothy Stratten stemmed from my wife's fascination in the late 1970s with the deaths of popular 1970 celebrities who used to appear regularly in the comic papers - mostly on the UK side of the Atlantic, but often in New York or LA. I can describe her as well as almost anything else that existed in 1978,... | My interest in Dorothy Stratten was born 4 years ago, when a movie about her life, "Unfaithful" came on the TV in Germany, and I saw her playing in a scene near the end (about 30 min after the start) and then, just as the scene ended, I realized: "Oh! That's her!" and was hooked forever and ever after...<br /><br />Dyi... | My interest in Dorothy Stratten is the result of my interest in her husband - Chuck Connors.

I had never heard of Stratten before, but I noticed the filmography of the cast of this film included two films that I had just watch... | My interest in Dorothy Stratten began with seeing the new film, I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (2006). I had seen the original film (1978) a number of times and had grown to love it. The idea of revisiting a classic film from a new perspective, and the casting of Jessica Alba as the original's Stephanie, intrigued me. And the fi... | My interest in Dorothy Stratten's life was piqued when I watched the film adaptation of the book "Suzanne: A Dreamer on Thin Ice", and then found the book. I can see why she's become such a cult icon, and after the film I was determined that I had to see this movie to get a better idea of her life, her career and the c... |

This movie should only be seen by those who like to watch people get beaten, shot, beaten, raped, shot, brutally killed, beaten, raped, then beaten all over again.

I was expecting a roma... | 0.491718 | 0.508282 | I think I will make the observation that Mr.Spielberg would have done a wonderful job on directing this movie.

Overall, it was good and I think I will use ... | I think I will make another DVD about this one, maybe this one should be the one to make! I want this one to be about a horror movie.

For the most part it's a good premise,... | Pros: Nothing<br /><br />Cons: Everything<br /><br />When I first stumbled upon this 'film' I was surprised I could actually find subtitles to translate the words (The film was dubbed in the UK).

Not to put a crimp on the film, because there isn't any fun in seeing it anyway. But I can't help but describe the acting with "It's not funny, but I'm being funny."

If the crew behind "Zombie | If the crew behind "Zombie Wars" are indeed from "Zombie Wars," they should give the name to some other cheap, halfassed zombie flick. This is by far the most boring zombies movie I have ever seen (bar maybe "Night of the Lepsus"). The zombies are so poorly shot and the gore so minimal that it's just awful. Most zombie... | If the crew behind "Zombie 4" had had an opportunity to say, "You know what? Let's take a pass this time", then I highly doubt there would be a need for this review.

I must've been on anoth... | 0.511225 | 0.488775 | If the crew behind "Zombie Chronicles" were making a homage to "Shaun of the Dead," they took the wrong approach. The film fails to evoke a good laugh, and the zombie characters are a lot too slow to be of any threat, even to a lone person. Worse, every zombie in this film looks identical to the next.<br /><br />For be... | If the crew behind "Zombie Flesh Eaters" had a choice between writing good dialogue, or giving us blood splattering shots and gore, they decided on the latter. For the most part I believe this worked well, as the film has tons of it, but if you don't like splatter, I wouldn't recommend it.<br /><br />I was very, very f... | If the crew behind "Zombie Nightmare" (aka "Zombie 3" in Europe) intended to make a rip-roaring sequel to the "Nightmare" films, they obviously did an excellent job. The opening "This movie was not supposed to be made..." quote alone makes this one a delight for every slasher fan but sadly they could not repeat their e... | If the crew behind "Zombie Island" were really such inept movie makers, why bother directing this film? I'd say this was a low budget indie movie as the acting, camera angles and lighting are all a little weak. The script is OK and not very predictable, but the zombie effect looked like they just used a black wig over ... | If the crew behind "Zombiez" had had two more dollars and a little luck it could have worked as a zombie satire with subtle humor as well as action. Instead, it has just action, some great gore scenes, and acting so bad it's actually funny, at least at first. As time went on I did find myself a little more annoyed. I r... | If the crew behind "Zombie Nation" and "Ghosts of Mars" had this much talent and talent in the past, they've been hiding it for so long, it's no wonder they never had another film under their belts for almost a full decade.

But instead the film goes down into what is most probably intended as a slasher film with a few zombies thrown in.<br /><br />So, why is the film bad? It's bad becau... | If the crew behind "Zombie Holocaust" was looking to make a better movie, they should have just re-shot this one. The original is already very good and it doesn't need to be fixed. If you are looking for a great zombie movie, this one is a must-see. Very, very cool and darkly humorous at the same time.

But if you like wa... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | There's tons of good-looking women in the film. But this is a rather silly sci-fi flick. I watched it without knowing that it was an Edgar Allen Poe classic and it was about three times as funny. This is a decent sci-fi flick for those who can't take themselves too seriously. Or for those who are fans of the British se... | There's tons of good-looking women that you could do worse than to be in love with -- especially in this low-budget Sci-fi film directed by Joe Dante. Jane Leeves is the gorgeous leading lady of "Doomsday: The Final Judgement", where she stars as a hardworking (if perhaps a little too desperate) employee of the governm... | There's tons of good-looking women in this movie, but it also makes you think: why isn't the male lead in this movie any good-looking, too? <br /><br />Okay, the movie was good, but the acting was just bad.

It's not about sex and violence, it's just what the filmmaker wanted... | There's tons of good-looking women in this one, and some pretty kinky sex scenes.

A simple plot that is told in an understated fashion with the result being a film for all the family. An absolute must for all families. | Without wishing to be a spoilsport (and thus spoil the fun for someone who hasn't seen this film yet), here I've got to point out that this 1986 film, while it has its charms, is still essentially a romanticized and sentimentalized look at the life of the first great woman surgeon, Dr. Josephine Abbot.

But 'House of Wax' is painfully dull. The opening shot of the main character, looking directly at the camera like he's addressing the audience, does little to draw us into the plot.

Yes,... | Some films that you pick upon in a darkened room you discover are actually good films which are just not popular enough to be easily identified by the masses. This film is one in which you want to discover more about.<br /><br />I was a little hesitant at first, thinking of the plot as being too confusing to follow, bu... |
I received this movie as | I received this movie as a Christmas gift and watched it with family in a very foggy England. This is a truly wonderful film that we will come back to many times.<br /><br />Many of the comments have mentioned how realistic the family dynamics and their response to the death of a daughter are. I cannot imagine a scenar... | I received this movie as a Christmas present for 1994 and I saw this today on cable and I must say this is an awful movie. The premise is that the dead are coming back to life in East L.A. to eat the living. It seems it will take the life force of 100 men to reawaken their former master, Ching Shih (Wu Shue). And Shue ... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | I received this movie as a gift last year and have watched it hundreds of times since then. It is one of my all time favorites and a definite keeper. Each time I have watched it a different part of the movie strikes me as heartwarming and the next time may be a different scene. This movie has a certain timeless quality... | I received this movie as a gift from a friend and even he didn't want to watch it! He said he had watched it the weekend before and didn't go. The acting was atrocious and they should NEVER be allowed to put their names on this movie (yes I did see it to the end)! The story wasn't bad but at points I thought I was watc... | I received this movie as a Christmas gift as well and it certainly is an excellent movie.<br /><br />I've watched it numerous times and am impressed with the talent of the cast and most particularly Ms. Zeffirelli. I loved the movie because it portrays the Italian countryside so very accurately and the people are typic... | I received this movie as I was not aware of it's existence.<br /><br />There is no sound track and therefore this movie was played in silence by me.<br /><br />It's all about a mother telling a story to a son about the 'truth' to her son.<br /><br />I saw that the movie is for the most part made by hand.<br /><br />I h... | I received this movie as a gift from a friend who had enjoyed "The Fugitive". In viewing it, I thought it had to be 24 hours of "The Fugitive"; they are indeed eerily alike.<br /><br />The movie is about a man falsely convicted of murder and then escapes. He is chased by the very officer who did the booking. If you hav... | I received this movie as a gift. I was a bit skeptical because I'm not a big fan of martial arts films; and this one has not 100% overcame the prejudices of my past. The film has a strange feeling to it I cannot describe. The characters, acting and writing, I found to be very good, which I found myself enjoying.<br /><... | I received this movie as a late night special. The box said it was a comedy and I thought it might be a "sit com" if you know what I mean. And when I start watching such a movie like this with a lot of humor it's a bit difficult when the movie doesn't contain any. What it is, is a western, and actually it's my belief t... | I received this movie as a gift and I have put it on a special place in my DVD collection. The movie has a great pace with good acting and a great mix of humor and serious moments.<br /><br />As so many comments here, My father loved the movie too. (He is 60 and is very active) I love the movie because it shows the goo... |
I have not seen many | I have not seen many German films, but I can say with some authority that this one ranks as the worst I have seen. The dialogue is appalling, and the acting is almost as bad as it can be (though in fairness the material is difficult to work with). I found myself wincing at every cliché, overused line, and hamfisted cam... | I have not seen many of Mr. John Cleese's roles, though I think I have seen almost all his writing work and all of his direction. I also saw his early TV show in the UK and have to say that in his TV comedies Mr. John Cleese's humour is rather light and quite clever; but in his movies his humour is more crude. Here it ... | 0.441141 | 0.558859 | I have not seen many of Woody Allen's films but The Big Slide Show is one of the best of Woody Allen's comedies.<br /><br />It is very funny, sometimes funny enough to make you cry, sometimes sad enough so you will need the tissue. It is one of the best examples of Woody Allen's comedy and a perfect example of how an a... | I have not seen many of his other films but this was a truly great film. Beautiful and yet funny. I felt the main character was so real. I loved the fact that, rather than taking his girlfriend for a romantic outing he chose to spend quality time with his kids instead. This is not a perfect family so there were issues ... | I have not seen many animated movies so I can't compare this to the rest. However, I can say that I was moved by this movie, which is rare for a animated children's film. I usually have to fight my daughter for watching animated movies and this being one exception. She was really invested in the characters and enjoyed ... | I have not seen many "Hollyweird" films in my entire life, but I must say this is THE most boring and most pointless movie that I've had the misfortune of experiencing. Just plain stupid, with terrible acting, not to mention the ridiculously predictable plot. One out of ten, is about the only true rating I can give to ... | I have not seen many of L'Anglaise's movies, but I enjoyed the fact that she made movies in this genre. I can say that I enjoyed the film that I saw. It was well directed- with the use of the background music being the main emphasis as most of L'Anglaise's music tends to be. The movie has some of the actors that I know... | I have not seen many of the original Dracula films from the 50's & 60's so I am unfamiliar with this series. The concept of a film series with the same cast & crew members repeating roles is a concept that I thought would never work, but in this case I must admit it has not been that bad. The characters and the actors ... | I have not seen many Indian movies in my life. The one that i would always remember fondly was Shahid Kapuas AAG. Shahid's acting and the background music with Amitabh singing were always an unforgettable experience. It was so good to hear Amrith Bhagat singing so sweetly again.<br /><br />Kamal Haasan was an awesome a... | I have not seen many of Mira Sorvino's films, but I do enjoy her work. I recently purchased VIOLENCE and saw on this page that it had a "hidden gem" score of 5.4/10 (out of 10). I watched this movie with high hopes only to be disappointed... I was not very impressed with the film at all. First off this film has really ... |
..Oh wait, I can! This | ..Oh wait, I can! This is one of those movies that you have to watch all the time as you are not sure whether you are experiencing it or you remember it. You don't really care. The only feeling is your desire that the end credits would come. This movie is an overkill. It does not deserve to be called "romantique comedy... | ..Oh wait, I can! This movie sucks! It's a 60's ripoff, with crappy dialogue, bad actors, and stupid story lines, which all lead you nowhere. Not really a mystery either, you know who the killer is within the first 20 minutes, and it's a pretty obvious villain. In fact, I was bored out of my mind the whole time. Don't ... | 0.527851 | 0.472149 | ..Oh wait, I can! This movie is great. You're never completely "up to speed" in your knowledge of the plot, the characters, or what is exactly going on. This causes it to be very interesting, as you can see so much in everyone's actions. As far as a romantic film goes, the acting and writing in this movie is better tha... | ..Oh wait, I can! This is my first IMDb review and it seems I have to follow a few rules, I must say that I'm quite glad I have found this site as I was about to sign a 5 year contract with a film production company and I was not aware of their very poor pasts.<br /><br />It is very important that you don't have to fol... | ..Oh wait, I can! This is one of those movies, where the premise is intriguing but you can't put your fingers on why. Well, I can, and the problem is, it does very little during two hours or so, and by that time, it's too late to save it and it gets worse: the climax is totally stupid and the movie just ends. The probl... | ..Oh wait, I can! This film has it all, acting, cinematography, beautiful backdrops, a great title and so much more. You know one of those movies where you watch it and you think that you've seen it. Or the other extreme. You catch yourself watching the movie and your still thinking about it. These are one liners that ... | ..Oh wait, I can! This is a typical 1st season episode as it was very entertaining. But as mentioned the end did NOT meet with an happy ending...I have read many comments about the new writer on to Season 2. I really feel that the addition of the new writer and his crew on to the show is a huge improvement for the 2nd ... | ..Oh wait, I can! This is one of those movies that you can re-watch countless times, only because you just can't seem to get enough of it.<br /><br />The movie is wonderfully shot like a film noir, the dialog and script are witty and dry, and the whole feel and overall effect is very much of the city, a gritty, big cit... | ..Oh wait, I can! This film is all about the "story within a story" and it's so brilliant that I cannot keep my fingers off the shutter button!<br /><br />So...<br /><br />We have the two actresses that play the roles of sisters in a play. When the first act is closed as they walk off the stage it is then the actress' ... | ..Oh wait, I can! This movie makes you jump forward and go backward in time, so that you are able to see how people behave without knowing that they are going to the past, and then we make them do the same again (but from a different point of reference) and then we go backwards to the first time when we saw that they d... |
You have to admire Brad | You have to admire Brad Silberling. He has made no less than 27 movies in his career but you really don't know it by his CV because if you didn't see his last productions, you don't realize that this director is here for about 20 years now, just waiting it to make all his movies before getting discovered thanks to "The... | You have to admire Brad Sykes as a writer. He's already given us some wonderful screen adaptations of Robert Bloch's books "Halloween" (and "Return of Laurie Strode") and, more recently: "The Evil Dead". This is not so much a horror movie - its an adventure/comedy movie that uses horror movie conventions. So, if you're... | 0.509768 | 0.490232 | You have to admire Brad Sykes for hanging in there with his production company and finding some really good movie properties. This movie, like The Perfect Mile, offers an old fashioned approach to film making and tells a very simple and beautiful story.<br /><br />SPOILER The first thing you'll notice are the similarit... | You have to admire Brad Sykes for creating the best zombie movie of all time, but now Sykes seems hell bent on creating nothing but remakes of his best film. In this fourth sequel to his masterpiece Dead Man Walking, Sykes is no longer the director, and all he needs to do is sign his name, throw in a few of his ideas a... | You have to admire Brad Sykes. He did a real nice job with The 007 Files. However, the biggest problem I find with 007 was that it really should have been two films. I believe part of it is that Mr Sykes got a bit carried away with himself, and that he should have left the James Bond character to the professionals. Als... | You have to admire Brad Sykes. He is a real showman. Although his movie, The Slaughter, is very well-made in all regards, Brad is best known for his one liners. As the villain, he delivers a lot of fun one liners.<br /><br />What makes The Slaughter even more fun is it's dark subject matter. The movie treats incest, vi... | You have to admire Brad Sykes ability to be a chameleon in terms of the roles he inhabits. He is the perfect modern version of the 'little man with a Big Dream'. His character in this story is the 'outcast' who has a secret talent but is unable to show it to anybody. It is the fact that he has a secret to hide that rea... | You have to admire Brad Sykes. When the man doesn't feel like putting the effort into something better--like actually acting--he just hires his brother and does some shots and boom! You have a movie. No plot, laughable acting, a few semi-sexual scenes thrown in and you have yourself a 90 minute waste of time. My first ... | You have to admire Brad Sykes. He has come up with a formula that people will pay thousands if not millions of dollars to see. He's already done it with "The Blair Witch Project" and now in "The Hostel" he once again proves people will come out to see films whether they are good, bad or downright sickening. So "The Rin... | You have to admire Brad Dourif for taking on this role. It is a rather odd performance. The story is typical and formulaic, but never rings false due the excellent cast. The movie is about 2 young friends who become obsessed with their science fiction game about being trapped on another planet while the government has ... |
