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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ... |

This movie sucks! It's a 60's ripoff, with crappy dialogue, bad actors, and stupid story lines, which all lead you nowhere.

This is one of those movies, where the premise is intriguing but you can't put your fingers on why.

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 ... |

That sounded promising for a dramatic film. So wrong! It's terrible - terrible. The entire film looks like they threw a bunch of film into a camera and shot it. The actors have no acting training. It seems as if they ... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | I rented this movie about a year and half ago and it made me laugh like crazy which is not always the case when you are not a fan of British humor.

I had to go back and rent it the other night and I can see why I wasn't able to pull it off in the 1990's...I was like 20 then and the story has been a bit much for me.

At this point, I have come to terms with them each as works unto themselves. I think, like everyone else, the 1945 "Gilda" is the best.

I love not just ... | I've seen all four of the Austin Powers movies (and I must admit, I'm somewhat of a fan). I thought they were all excellent (the first, however, was the best). They are all great comedies with lots of laughs throughout (the best are the fourth and third movies). Also, they are all funnier for the fact that they make fu... | I've seen all four of the Harry Potter films in the theater and am always impressed with the work that went into this beautiful film. The special effects work is outstanding. It's just hard to imagine what this film had to look like in their early stages of development. To me, this is a must see. | I've seen all four of the "Ossessione" episodes. They're entertaining, and each one presents an interesting take on the story of "Possessed". This is because all four takes are set in modern times, with the main characters not appearing to be so different from your run-of-the-mill New Yorkers or Europeans.<br /><br />T... | I've seen all four of the Mummy movies, and this is the best one yet!

That is, it's virtually impossible to believe that any person with their own free will & logic could ever make some of the decisions made by ... | I've seen all four of Paul Verhoeven's movies I've been willing to comment on, and this really ranks up there with them. I thought "Basic instinct" was a fun thriller, "Deus Ex Machina" was fun for different reasons as was "Starship Troopers". I liked "Showwoman" the best of all, and not only is this Paul Verhoeven's f... |
I very much looked forward | I very much looked forward to watching this film based on it's well researched nature. However, I was in for a huge disappointment. The film does a wonderful job of summarising the key points of the conflict in Israel and the role of the British army in what became the state of Israel. It also does a wonderful job of g... | I very much looked forward to seeing this film before it was broadcast last night.

While having a few laughs, most of the movie is fill... | I very much looked forward to reading and watching this movie in the wake of Oliver Stone's "Natural Born Killers," and it's very unfortunate that the book has been pushed up against the screen. Most of the important points that Clowes made have been pushed off or downplayed in the picture. The film, directed by Brian ... | I very much looked forward to watching this. I had not seen it for a long time. What a great performance by Robert DeNiro. He was great when he was young, but this film gave me a real appreciation of what a good actor he truly is. This film left me wondering as to whether or not this man is insane. The storyline is ver... | I very much looked forward to watching this one. It's a shame that I couldn't bring myself to put up with the film's poor pacing and overall incoherence. The whole thing just sort of dragged on with me waiting for it all to wrap up into something like an explanation of things but I couldn't get any. I'm sure the final ... | I very much looked forward to seeing this film as I have enjoyed previous films of Kate Winslet (The Piano, the Ice Age) and Sam Mendes (American Beauty) and had been very impressed by Michael Jackson's performance in 'Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.'

The thing ... | I have read all of the comments this film has received so far.

It's so good that i... | I have read all of Ms. Dunne's books, and have watched several of her TV miniseries. I have seen "Love" both as a TV miniseries and as a motion picture. Of them all, "A Man Called Horse" was her masterpiece. I can watch it over and over, and never get bored. Ms. Dunne and Jeff Webster were a very good team that underst... | I have read all of the comments and ratings for this film.

As a Southern Baptist, it | As a Southern Baptist, it seems an honor to have this in my collection. This film could have been a 100% accurate and would still have been one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It is a huge embarrassment to any religious people, anywhere, to associate their beliefs with this film. It just doesn't even hold together ... | As a Southern Baptist, it's hard for me to accept a film that portrays a Southern Baptist minister as an idiot, and yet, I have to admit that The Omega Code is so bad that, at times, it seems unintentionally amusing.<br /><br />First, a word or two about the Southern Baptist Convention. My experience with this group is... | 0.497502 | 0.502498 | As a Southern Baptist, it galls me to have all Christianity (save a few Christians of my ilk) blamed for the evils of sin on planet Earth. This includes my own. It boggles my mind how the Christian community seems to think we're the worst offenders. I see no problem with the fact that it is a Christian community, only ... | As a Southern Baptist, it is very interesting and helpful to me to see this film. You can say all you want about the church of the North American Continent being founded by Jesus, but no way did they do it all alone. It would be hard to explain to my family (I am 16) just how much the African people sacrificed for Chri... | As a Southern Baptist, it is refreshing to see a picture that deals so realistically with modern day Christians and their struggle with life, love, sex, and spirituality. This could not have been much more true for me than the scene where the woman is making her decision about her affair and the preacher goes to confro... | As a Southern Baptist, it's hard not to be affected by the politics in this film. That's if you're even able to sit through it. The film plays around with a wide variety of topics: religion, civil rights, prejudice, race relations, gay marriage, education, government, alcoholism, sex, music etc. And it does not leave a... | As a Southern Baptist, it is very easy for me to look at the film "Crusader" and not necessarily see it as some kind of propaganda, but instead see what is an amazing film - I was amazed - not at the way in which the film portrayed the Nazis, but the way in which the film portrayed the African-American Christians. They... | As a Southern Baptist, it seems ironic that I am still trying to come to terms with the film "The Sentinel" (1977). <br /><br />The film was an excellent drama from a Southern Baptist's perspective (i.e, it was Southern Baptist, by and large, that was behind the film). There is no denying this point whatsoever. <br /><... | As a Southern Baptist, it's tough for me to comment on this movie since it portrays Southern Baptists in such a positive light. I won't pretend it would happen to those churches in real life but I was still excited to hear a real world message in a movie about God without the preachy feeling you often get with other re... | As a Southern Baptist, it was refreshing to watch a movie so strongly espousing the importance of a Christian life, especially when it comes to the big choices, when the going gets tough. I don't remember seeing a movie where it was made so clear that a truly loving faith and strong Christian morality do not always sit... |

As the story goes on, it deals with his affair with his wife's best friend and his love for his daughter (the wife died). The b... | The original book of this movie may have been more or less interesting. A man's love-life is thrown in turmoil when he gets a call from his doctor that his wife may not be what he thinks she is, just as his other lovers are throwing themselves at him. It is no wonder, then, that this film is so frequently shown at film... | The original book of this film is "Les Visiteurs", which is hilarious in French, and funny in its English translation too. So, naturally I would expect to see a funny film once I watch this, don't I? But I was disappointed! Very disappointed indeed; mainly because the humor is weak, and this is not funny, at all.<br />... | The original book of this film, "To Kill A Mockingbird", is my favourite book ever - a true insight into the South (i.e. America) in the 1930s. The film is a rather disappointing version of the book, with several significant differences in story (which is not important, being a film after all) and an over-load of senti... | The original book of this movie, "The Long and Winding Road", is based on the diaries of an ex-con's wife, who, after her husband is sent to prison, moves her 3 kids and her business to California to escape the prison town of Kentucky. At times, we see the mother having flashbacks about different parts in her life. The... | The original book of this film is good by itself. It's about a person called "the man of steel", he is a policeman of a futuristic world, the story develops and takes about different cases he is in. A good classic movie, it was a bit underrated to me, it has many good moments and a very good plot line. The only point i... | The original book of this film (which is also the basis for the stage musical) is set in a Jewish ghetto but the film version shifts its location to a Christian one. In terms of the story, the film version is more conservative than the book - the film plays almost completely straight while the book adds some comic reli... |
The annoying mouse and lullaby | The annoying mouse and lullaby are just what the story needs to give it that last little bit of spice. They were just so over the top and completely ridiculous but yet so funny, as you can probably tell. I had a great time watching this, and I had a great laugh at every one of the characters. They sure seemed like a fu... | The annoying mouse and lullaby that has so captivated fans of this film for decades is a perfect example of how a little music done well can make or break a film. It was done so successfully by Bernard Hoffer and it became so popular, that for about twenty years it was used in all of MGM's mouse cartoons. Eventually we... | 0.802239 | 0.197761 | The annoying mouse and lullaby. I was watching the film again after several years and was appalled at how terrible the music was. The poor sound quality was a bonus! That this film won an Oscar (with this) I find hard to believe. At least the movie was visually stunning. I'd like to know more about Lass. I've always wo... | The annoying mouse and lullaby theme song is played in slow motion for the first time, during the final fade in. Not sure if the ending is the same in the US, but I saw the UK version. The film shows that the little girl is still scared at the end by her dream, but she realizes that she doesn't "really" have to follow ... | The annoying mouse and lullaby theme is heard twice at the beginning, twice at the end and once in between. Not a single character is human, everyone is animal. The animation could have been better but it suits the film. For an animated, 3-d movie it is a unique one. In the beginning, you may wonder if this is just a '... | The annoying mouse and lullaby song isn't really my taste, but I agree that this is the best of the series so far. The characters, art, story and especially the background music are very well done, much better than before, especially compared to 4. It's a shame though that the movie is only available in DVD in Europe. ... | The annoying mouse and lullaby song, in my opinion, makes this film the greatest of all time. I saw this at a theater in LA in the mid 1980s. It is great. My mother, by the way, had never laughed so much in her life. Everyone in the theater was also laughing. All of this, in my opinion, made the movie the best one of a... | The annoying mouse and lullaby part, where you're supposed to think that the little boy lost his mother due to the noise from the mice is the reason I rated this film so badly in the beginning. Then I realized that I wasn't the kind of movie this kid was meant to watch. The kid is supposed to be able to handle a violen... | The annoying mouse and lullaby music does not work well with the images. The music sounds like it's been lifted from "The Cat in the Hat", when the Cat sings songs. <br /><br />If you really need to fall asleep, listening to Dr. Seuss's text in the middle of the night would surely be a more fitting choice, than watchin... | The annoying mouse and lullaby sound track that is not needed, the film is much more enjoyable without it.<br /><br />The story was very simple and believable. I enjoyed watching it because the story was very interesting and interesting to see all the things that could have happened. The movie was interesting and it ke... |
I saw this film opening | I saw this film opening night yesterday at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. I can still see the audience in the darkened cinema laughing out loud at a number of funny scenes. I won't give anything away, but there are more. The film is shot in black and white, but no one in it seems to realize there is pho... | I saw this film opening day: I can't believe that after I got home from that I was able to show up at work. It made me very angry to think that people were going to see this movie because of the big name actors.<br /><br />This movie was simply horrible. If anyone has ever played in a production of Shakespeare then the... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | I saw this film opening weekend at the Tribeca film festival and, at the request of the director, stayed for the Q&A afterwards. I left impressed with the final product; and very touched by the honesty, the intensity, and the complexity captured by the director in this film.<br /><br />The film follows an "underground"... | I saw this film opening day at the International Film Festival in Berlin, Germany. It was a real pleasure from beginning to the end. <br /><br />The photography of the film is great but probably what impresses most of the viewer is the acting of the young cast.<br /><br />Mia Gredescu, who has done a couple movies in H... | I saw this film opening day of the 1978 Cannes Festival and it was the surprise of the year. The film was hailed by the critics as an almost perfect film telling the story of a man (Jean-Pierre Marielle) who is wrongly convicted of a crime that he did not commit (the murder of his father) and who is sent to his death b... | I saw this film opening night. Though only ten, I understood completely that it is the story of a little girl and her family and her struggle to understand her mother. I, myself being in the same situation as the girl in the movie, relate to the movie on a personal level. <br /><br />Overall, the acting was brilliant- ... | I saw this film opening night at a theatre outside Brooklyn. It's an amazingly beautiful movie that could not have been made today. There would be no chance for a woman in her position to have taken a trip like this in the 21st Century. She had a son that she had not seen since he was a little boy. She had always been ... | I saw this film opening weekend. Even though it was not an all out art-house experience, I think the movie was brilliant. My friend and I absolutely loved it, and I think other people in the theater were just as impressed. Although one group of viewers left early, they only made up 3 of the 50 people in the room. This ... | I saw this film opening night at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.<br /><br />I was struck more by this movie than anything else I've seen thus far this year.<br /><br />This movie made me ask to the entire audience in the theatre if they were ready for it.<br /><br />This movie made me ask audience members about many is... | I saw this film opening night at the 27th International Film Festival in New York, where it won the Silver Lotus. <br /><br />The film takes place in Japan and follows the lives of two brothers, one of whom is sickly and bedridden, the other who is just coming down from the mountains where he lives. The story is very n... |
I saw this at the | I saw this at the 2006 Vancouver International Film Festival, which is where almost all the films from the Sundance Festival are screened. Although this film was not in the documentary section (it was a feature film), it was a Sundance selection. Although it was shown as if it were a documentary, it was heavily stylize... | I saw this at the Edinburgh film festival last week and was disappointed, not only in the acting which was poor - I thought Peter Burke and the other actors in the film, apart from Donald Sutherland, had nothing to work with, and certainly couldn't hold a candle to Sutherland in terms of the audience appeal, but in the... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | I saw this at the Toronto festival last year and loved the movie. The movie had me captivated the whole time. Beautifully filmed, excellent script and great acting. I'm so glad to have seen the movie! | I saw this at the Toronto Film Festival and i was blown away. This movie was not even nominated for an Oscar, it can't be beat. It deals mostly with family relationships and the effects on a son who is the central character but it is more than an adult drama although there was some violence to be sure. This movie has m... | I saw this at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. In my opinion, this was one of the best films I saw. I have an extended family who went to school. They did not live in a small town, they went to school in Houston, Dallas and Arlington, Texas, so I understand the story line from past experience.<br /><br />This stor... | I saw this at the Cannes Film Festival and i was utterly shocked by how bad it was. But it is actually a very unique thing that you cannot really compare to anything else (I mean a bit like "Fight Club"). However, as you saw i described it, it is really bad and it would be a shame to see it if you want something a litt... | I saw this at the NY Jewish Film Festival - it's a great film. The film is about a group of children in a refugee camp near the border in Turkey. They speak Turkish, but they sing and they play music in an Arabic dialect. One of the children introduces Lila to the audience and she is a musician, so the story is very in... | I saw this at the L.A. film festival. This was the first time these guys' film was screened at a major film festival and it was a major success! We were fortunate enough to catch the Q&A session with the director and producer after screening. It was very exciting for the audience as well as the filmmakers. We were told... | I saw this at the Rotterdam Film Festival last year. It's a lovely story, with lots of unexpected twists and turns along the way. Like most of Yen Tso-yuan's films, the story is told through a series of flashbacks and flash-forwards, all building to quite a beautiful climax. And the music! The film includes some beauti... | I saw this at the 2002 Chicago International Film Festival. The story was great and I would love to see this in theaters but unfortunately I will have to keep reading reviews and buying a $22.50 DVD rental as the only thing available. I was excited to see this because it won "Best of Competition" at the Tribeca Film Fe... |
Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Australian outlaw hero known throughout the world as one of life's good guys. The true story is presented here from the Australian point of view which is very interesting to see, because here in England, where Kelly was hanged in England, they think the story is quite the opposite; whic... | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous outlaw of 19th century who was executed for a crime he did not commit. The story of Ned is told through flashbacks in the form of the letters the convict wrote in jail to the sister who loves him and her daughter who is the best friend of the woman he once loved.<br /><br />Ledger was n... | 0.535579 | 0.464421 | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Australian outlaw from the late 19th century, is finally coming to celluloid in this film. He's been told to go to trial and serve a life sentence for a robbery and shooting spree. Instead he escapes after breaking out of their cell and flees to the nearby bush.<br /><br />While awaitin... | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Melbourne Outlaw, was born, and died, in 1854-5 as the illegitimate son of a bank robber and a local prostitute. He emigrated to Melbourne with his mother and younger brother about the age of nine and a quarter, where the new life in Victorian society was not at all the expected life in... | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Irish outlaw who took on Victoria's police and judicial systems a century ago, is a complex character whose legend is entwined with Australian culture. A new biopic of Kelly, The Sum of All Tales, follows the development of his mythic persona, as it may have been experienced by Victoria... | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Irishman (with his family of Irish immigrants), living in Australia, is sent to prison for robbing a bank, when he is a young man, after he is caught with a stolen horse by the Sheriff (of the Victorian gold fields). This sets up a fascinating account of the lives of the Irish immigrant... | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Irish outlaw who was the last in Australia to be hanged for his 'crimes' is told through the eyes of one of his friends and fellow outlaw, Joe Byrne. This film not only tells the truth about what happened to the man that Ned Kelly and his mate Joe were accused of having killed, but also... | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Australian outlaw, tells of his life, from his birth in Ireland, to his death at the hands of his pursuers. I'd like to start this review by saying I'm from Australia, so perhaps, like everybody else, I have very different views of this film. I watched it on an Australian TV station, kn... | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Australian outlaw of the 1880s, has his story told in this epic biopic of the Aussie genre, released today to very mixed reviews, the best of them, so far, from critics and audiences in this country.<br /><br />Shot around the actual places where the events actually happened, with the a... | Ned Kelly (Ledger), the infamous Australian outlaw of the late 1800s is the subject of a rather interesting biopic. Based on historical facts, the film takes us from before Kelly is even of age into his death and then his subsequent public trial. Although his story, as we know it, is known to most people, the film does... |
They constructed this one as | They constructed this one as though they were making a B flick. The characters have zero credibility: the doctor is an idiot, the wife has no redeeming qualities, the father is a jerk, and the "hero" has no sense of what's really important. You can't take any scene seriously; not the dialogue, the acting, the humor, th... | They constructed this one as a cheap, easy way to cash in on the fact that there are millions of people in the world who know this movie and/or the guy in it. That is, of course, because "The Rock", while it doesn't pretend to be anything more (or less) than entertainment, has some of the best special effects in film h... | 0.498965 | 0.501035 | They constructed this one as a movie about lost love, but I'm not sure that it is. I'd say it's a comedy about the trials and tribulations of finding true love. The plot is the usual stuff, but it's presented in such a humorous style that you get a lot of laughs and even more smiles. At the same time, these characters ... | They constructed this one as if it were a parody of the early 1930s "gangster" pictures starring the Warner's Brothers stars as gangsters and detectives. The setting and the theme and the acting were spot on. As others have mentioned, this was one of the most moving and touching films I have ever seen. | They constructed this one as though there really was a secret plot to bring Hitler to America. The only question for viewers is: "Why?"<br /><br />The answer is that it was an extremely expensive movie for its time but MGM could pull off a 16mm stock print for less money than a wide screen release which could help them... | They constructed this one as they did the original as a "Who will die next?" game among the cast, here led by Peter Weller (in a dual role, his wife is the only other performer) and the special effects staff.<br /><br />In a nutshell, the killer robot (or at least his copy) has a limited supply of energy and when his "... | They constructed this one as if it were a big studio production but they also managed to get the best of the small time independents! How on Earth did they find that group of people? They didn't need any fancy camera work, it all seemed spontaneous at the same time as being very convincing. I will be looking forward to... | They constructed this one as the sequel to THE ANGEL THAT KILLS. While it may be the least of the five films with the similar title, it's one well worth watching. I found all of them equally entertaining, but this one particularly caught my attention. It wasn't so much how well it worked as a tale, but rather the fact ... | They constructed this one as if it were a drama, not a horror. That's why there's not much tension in the movie. It's all very slow paced. The first half is mainly about the two brothers being together and the second half is about killing the sheriff (who was actually one of the least likeable characters) and his daugh... | They constructed this one as if it were a really fine "B" movie. They'd want to get the "A" list, with the best actors, but "B" actors for a "B" movie. They did not succeed. They just made it too bland. Not only a bad story, but a bad execution. The script was not really horrible, but it was a little bit worse, and it ... |
This has to be the | This has to be the most atrocious movie adaptation I have ever had the misfortune to witness. I have read the original version of this classic literature and the only words that come to my mind when it comes to the actors, the movie's direction and screenplay are: "abysmal", "pathetic", "shameful". If the worst that ma... | This has to be the first documentary since I saw Michael Moore with "Roger and Me" that really left me feeling completely dumbfounded. Here are some of the reasons why, as a viewer. <br /><br />1. I thought it was a great idea to include some random people who are not from the city, or from China to describe what they ... | 0.356237 | 0.643763 | This has to be the worst movie i have ever seen! I have seen Star Wars, and had always heard nothing but great things about it, which is why i bought the video last week for 99p! I thought the CGI was great, but i would still think the film would have a fair story line, instead it turned out that the story was so bad, ... | This has to be the best adaptation of any Dickens novel ever made (along with A Christmas Carol). The only way this could be better would be to have the scenes directly out of Dickens' original text (which unfortunately means the TV adaptation is not an adaptation of either 'Oliver Twist' or 'Oliver Hardy'). It is a 4.... | This has to be the most bizarre example of "revenge" I have ever seen. It contains a great many violent scenes, but unlike other revenge movies they are not simply the result of some kind of anger or hate expressed in a physical form. The people in this movie are very detached from the violence they create. One charact... | This has to be the most boring film I've ever seen. After reading the summary I though it might be a little better, and it might've been if it weren't for the constant nudity and overuse of the sound effects used elsewhere in the film. The film doesn't seem to go anywhere and is full of clichéd situations and stereotyp... | This has to be the poorest excuse for a slasher movie in recent memory. The fact that the film makers call it "the most shocking slasher" I can only assume means the fact that the story of the film isn't original in the slightest. If "the most shocking slasher" means that the killer doesn't kill one person, I can only ... | This has to be the worst movie ever made. It takes a great premise, and completely ruins it. The lead actors are unwatchable, and it is hard to even watch the movie without cringing. The dialog (if there even was any) is worse than any episode of Seinfeld, and the movie goes from beginning to end, without ever letting ... | This has to be the funniest movie ever made. If you're not laughing all the time then you haven't seen it yet. There are many comedies nowadays that take place in modern times; and make their actors look like their characters. They are funny, but that's it. Movies that make you cry and laugh at the same movie are the o... | This has to be the best comedy I have ever seen. The script and the performances are amazing, and although it was a British film it had enough appeal to the Americans to make it a box office success. All the main characters were played to perfection by some of the best British actors of our time, especially Robbie Roge... |
If the term itself were | If the term itself were of a nature that it were appropriate, I would say this movie was a 'classic,' as it is, however, more a film than anything, as it is a film with so much more than a common definition. It is, however, also a film that is the'standard,' as it has to be to me. This film is not only one of the best ... | If the term itself were not a legal fiction, I would say that the writers of this movie should be blacklisted. For this one person should not write it, produce it, star in it, own the rights to it, promote it, talk about it, and heck, just having watched it, I'm shocked I made it to this line.<br /><br />I rented this ... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | If the term itself were invented just to describe this film, then it would be worth watching once and forgotten. But it isn't, and it should be watched many times, and never forgotten. I just saw it again, at the age of 43, the movie having come recently to the cable network of my home television (CBC). <br /><br />The... | If the term itself were not somewhat loaded, I think I could best describe this film as "wickedly charming," a true oddity (as stated in another forum review), a great film, an excellent film, a well-directed and acted piece of film work worthy of its "Best Film..." award status!<br /><br />We have a film about a young... | If the term itself were available, I would use "poetic," but since "poetic justice" would convey the wrong sense, I will use the old English term that means "righting" or "revenge." Whatever one may say of John Boorman, in the end it was he who "righted" and "solved" the great Irish drama of 1916, the Easter rebellion.... | If the term itself were not so pejorative, "stale" would describe how I felt after seeing this movie.<br /><br />For the most part, I like romantic comedies. Unfortunately, this was not one. Neither was any one of the six movies that I have seen with Gwyneth Paltrow as the central character. In every case, Paltrow was ... | If the term itself were defined, "cult movie" would surely refer to this one.<br /><br />A perfect example of the golden movie which doesn't fall back until more than two decades and by then it has become almost a legend. Some movies will never dieand this is one of them.<br /><br />This one has a very special feel to... | If the term itself were being coined, then this would have been at the absolute vanguard, as it is a film about a young woman being raped that is as powerful and as emotionally moving as the seminal film. The scenes of violence, of course, are brutal (but not gratuitous) and it is to the everlasting credit of the film-... | If the term itself were not pejorative this is a classic of the form. The plot is contrite and it moves forward like a well oiled barrel. The cast and crew work with their usual aplomb, the direction steady and assured, the script a joy to behold.<br /><br />I can only say that if you want a film that moves through you... | If the term itself were invented, Mr. Korda's 1945 masterpiece "For Whom the Bell Tolls" would unquestionably top the list as a classic of war cinema.<br /><br />The original American screenplay was based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway. The film, however, has a far different tone, and an equally different mood, than ... |
This movie was so unrelentingly | This movie was so unrelentingly dull, i think that any of its characters were more interesting than the plot. it is very unoriginal with very little surprise. and it wasn't even in the "cheery" campy sci-fi kind of way that makes a movie funny. it felt really self-important and pretentious; they could obviously afford ... | This movie was so unrelentingly depressing and emotionally draining. How sad that I have to write something so negative, but it is a message that needed to be given in the first place.<br /><br />But I have to say one thing and that is that I'm glad I didn't pay too much to see it. I'm an international student, I live ... | 0.478517 | 0.521483 | This movie was so unrelentingly and thoroughly bad that when finally someone died on the screen I thought it was because he had been strangled alive in the preparation of this truly awful effort from "The Master of Noir", John Curtiz. I watched only the first 45 minutes but had I viewed the whole movie (don't imagine I... | This movie was so unrelentingly creepy that I was worried that it would scare my daughter, especially if she saw it while I wasn't watching. She's four years old, and she thought it was delightful. A bit longish for a movie of this age, we fast forwarded the ending to speed things up a bit. There was a little nudity, b... | This movie was so unrelentingly sad that it's kind of remarkable that I actually thought that I was enjoying it when it came out last year. I guess that watching people like a lonely, reclusive artist (played by the great Geoffrey Rush in an Oscar-worthy performance) or a sweet, vulnerable little boy growing up under t... | This movie was so unrelentingly bad, I actually bought the DVD so I could enjoy it when my rental was finished (it still has 80 minutes of footage).<br /><br />And I mean UNRELENTING. So many bad movies are a treat: you watch the movie, and a couple of scenes make you roll your eyes with disbelief, or you shake your fi... | This movie was so unrelentingly awful that I thought it must have been a joke-- some kind of elaborate student film project for a film school somewhere. Or perhaps I had somehow accidentally clicked on the right title and wound up on a comedy.<br /><br />I'm not quite sure. I did not laugh through it, by the way, rathe... | This movie was so unrelentingly brutal I kept expecting the director to pop up on screen holding a rifle and tell the viewer he's sorry, but he got the funding anyway. But I watched it all the way through and then checked the IMDb list of awards. This film was not only the most well designed and acted film ever made, i... | This movie was so unrelentingly depressing, so relentlessly downbeat, that I went around for a week still feeling that way, and not very happily. It is by far the most depressing Brit film I have ever seen. (I don't think I would want to count "The Remains of the Day" because I like my movies with a little uplift and h... | This movie was so unrelentingly dark that I'm amazed anyone even bothered to make it!<br /><br />The first half of the movie I liked; it was very funny and very dark. Then it began to lose its focus and it just seemed like a series of one-liners. This went on until the end - I guess there was some point to it all.<br /... |
This movie never made it | This movie never made it to the cinema because of its "sensitive" topic. This was an advantage, because it was a lot better this way. It makes the viewer think and even get out of one's own skin and understand the feelings of others (in all aspects). Even people who don't care about the topic, will have to think twice ... | This movie never made it to the big screen, but is a sleeper hit on DVD. It stars Kira Reed, whom has been in many films including, 101 Dalmatians And Lassie. It also has another famous actress from the 1930's, Lucile Watson, who played Belle, and a famous supporting actor, Louis S ouchet. <br /><br />In this movie Luc... | 0.578462 | 0.421538 | This movie never made it to the big screen in Europe after its first showing in the German city of Vienna. After the event there was some talk about the reasons the show was canceled, but that would be beyond my abilities to explain. I went there to buy a DVD version of this movie to try to find the answers but I was o... | This movie never made it to our local theaters,so we had to endure watching it on Cinemax. And what a pleasant endurance it was. The acting is top-notch and the story is touching and believable. You won't miss a step in the narrative with this one. A great, classic family movie that's worth the watch. This movie made m... | This movie never made it to the big screen and I wish it had! It is a wonderful movie that doesn't glorify drugs, it portrays that they can be deadly. This movie should be watched in the classroom and at home with a parent, kids. Its a lesson in drug awareness. I recommend this movie to watch it for fun as well as its ... | This movie never made it to movie theaters, and it never should have. After three years of high-tech sci-fi, the Hollywood studios tried to cash in on the money that Lucas had made and that was the cause of this film. They decided to cut corners and made the sound of the robots squeak like they do in cartoon movies.<br... | This movie never made it to the main theatres in Los Angeles. At least not in the downtown area. As it is a foreign movie I guess no one bothered to release it in the mainstream market. It is an interesting movie with nice animation style (just a tad too old now). If you want to see a movie with beautiful animation, st... | This movie never made it to the United States, and therefor I hope that American audiences know the truth. I was pleasantly surprised to see such a magnificent work of art not to mention a very entertaining look back in time. It isn't so much a tribute to the great operetta composer Richard Strauss as it is a tribute t... | This movie never made it to theatres and was never marketed but is a great classic with a great message. If you don't mind the bad picture quality it's well worth it. I gave it a 10+ because I haven't seen a movie with such a great storyline.<br /><br />It's a great adventure movie and one of my favorite "old" movies..... | This movie never made it to the U.S.. It certainly belongs in the 'cult' category and I highly recommend people check it out. The acting is superb and the 'story' line holds your attention till the end. I also noticed that the story starts out and you hear dialog like you are getting into a great B movie but you are re... |
I thought this was a | I thought this was a rather enjoyable movie. I was hoping for a rather entertaining, somewhat suspenseful ride, and I got it. Most of the actors did pretty well, especially the "ninja" actors, which was a plus. However, the plot was somewhat of a stretch, and some of the dialog sounded more like something you'd find a ... | I thought this was a good film. The acting was very good and kept my attention all the way through. I believe I read somewhere that the budget wasn't what they expected and unfortunately in some parts of the film it shows. It seemed there was a mix of computer generated and actual footage to make shots a little longer.... | 0.493162 | 0.506838 | I thought this was a good movie. it wasnt too violent, and it had a beautiful story. it wasnt all action all the time, if that what you want. i liked it the beginning because it had a great view of the house. its a good story, the acting is good, it has a surprising surprise in it, you never know what is going to happe... | I thought this was a great movie. The casting of Peter O'Toole was inspired (as it often is) and I could really buy into the way his character develops and evolves- I found myself cheering him on. There was a lot going for this film, but I was impressed by the cast, production and the story. | I thought this was a great movie. It held my attention and made me think about the future of my daughter who is an actor too. I was very impressed with the acting, all throughout. I will watch this again. This is the kind of movie that really draws you into the characters and the story, and makes you feel emotionally f... | I thought this was a fine film. It's a great story told in a classic 'buddy road flick.' It isn't flashy, but a touching story of friendship and discovery. I laughed at it a lot, but more heartwarming than anything else. It is a classic. | I thought this was a very good film because it showed me that you don't have to be an expert to like something. I am a "Goth", and it is pretty hard to find movies that you relate to, but it was good to know that you just have to like what you like. It is sad that I can't watch it again so easily now. I'd like to try i... | I thought this was a very good film, and as a British made film which was based in Scotland, this makes it worth viewing. It had a great cast, John McEnroe is in it as one of the villains. There is also a supporting cast which includes Denys Hawthorne (who i thought was brilliant in the film and deserves an oscar for h... | I thought this was a very good movie. It was well written and acted. I am glad to have seen Robert Downey Jr. in a movie other than "Rudy". After his excellent work in the series, "the West Wing", I was very interested. The way the film starts is interesting and the director creates the mood very well. The audience is ... | I thought this was a good movie. It had a very interesting plot, the characters were believable. I especially enjoyed the acting - everyone did their job very well. I liked the cast - I could tell the people in this movie were enjoying what they were doing. Everyone should see this movie. It's a fairly short movie (und... |
Ned aKelly is such an | Ned aKelly is such an Aussie icon and Aussie history lessons can be so boring, that it's quite wonderful to see a really good film about him. I saw the film on tv so i had little expectations.<br /><br />But I must say this is a really good film, and worth watching. Some may say the film is too fictionalized, but it st... | Ned aKelly is such an iconic figure that just about everyone who has an interest in Australian history has at least a basic knowledge of his legend. Unfortunately that means it's difficult for any potential biopic to surprise.<br /><br />With a story that begins with the Kelly gang's successful hold-up of a post office... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | Ned aKelly is such an essential piece of the Australian story that even today it holds a strong position. It is the tale of one of the most loved and notorious figures in Australian history. It seems the only thing we don't agree on is the right spelling of his name, as well as who was responsible for his fate. This fi... | Ned aKelly is such an important and Australian tale, I've watched it probably a dozen times but in a lot of ways its still one of the best. There are some amazing performances; Heath Ledger in particular gives such a great performance as the charismatic yet troubled gang lead, that you don't want him to get the whole m... | Ned aKelly is such an Australian cult figure and while it may be an Australian film, this is a movie with a great sense of universal appeal. The Australian aspect of it is dealt with but the whole sense of the film can be appreciated overseas. But like all Aussie films, the cast, the story, camera work and everything e... | Ned aKelly is such an iconic figure in Australian folklore, and I felt that a film dealing with the bushranger story could be made and it turned out to be fantastic. The story of Ned and his gang and the effects it had on rural Victoria in the 19th Century through till Ned's death, is told vividly and is well acted. He... | Ned aKelly is such an amazing story of an incredibly complex nature. The story has a lot of drama and tension.<br /><br />From a point of view of story telling it is excellent.<br /><br />The characters are good, the acting is good. It is based on the historical fact that occurred in Melbourne at 1891. It focuses on a ... | Ned aKelly is such an important and intriguing part of Australian history that it is a disservice to film makers and to the subject itself that there has been no biopic (although the film Ned Kelly is a good example of historical fiction). It's not easy portraying real historical figures and there may be a reason only ... | Ned aKelly is such an outstanding and well made film - that I simply cannot say it enough! I first saw it about a year ago (while I was still at school), and loved it. About three weeks ago my English teacher put it up on the TV for all the class to watch, being our 'film for the week'. For the first half hour, none of... | Ned aKelly is such an Australian icon that the man could hold any family up. This film was made to show what he was like and how he grew to become such a hero to the common man. He lived his whole life in the city of Melbourne and loved his friends dearly. From being young boys they played pranks together up until the ... |
From the very beginning, the | From the very beginning, the movie, in its narration of the life of Marie Antoinette, presents her as a shallow and selfish Queen, whose sole concern was her own enjoyment of life, with little or no concern for her subjects.

This is one of those movies that, on the first day of release, it is all the buzz all over Japan!! Everyone is either a huge fan of this movie, or utterly hating this movie!! However, after a long-awaited screening, my friend and I went to see this mov... | 0.698032 | 0.301968 | From the very beginning, the filmmakers' agenda is not in keeping with the original French title, 'Racaille' -- literally: trash.

Maud is a young woman who is very naive and easily led astray by her friends and a famous wri... | From the very beginning, the movie is so bad that you wonder whether the director was on the brink of a nervous breakdown. It is true that the movie is an adventure, and the plot does contain some unexpected twists. For a guy who writes reviews about movies to make you feel better about your own life, I must warn you: ... | From the very beginning, the movie has you captivated. They've obviously done their homework with the historical references, which has not only lead me to watch up a few episodes the Civil War on HBO, but also read "Ulysses" and "Moby Dick" which this film is seemingly based on. A big disappointment was the casting of ... | From the very beginning, the viewer is treated to an unusual combination of good acting skills along with a fast pace. Most of the leads seem to have an air of menace about them. The movie starts out with a murder-suicide committed by a man who has the misfortune of meeting a man who wants to buy out his home. The stor... | From the very beginning, the movie has the feeling that it is a really fake. Well, the reason why this is done is that the movie is based in true facts. The movie seems to be aimed to make the viewer understand the cruelty of fascism on the Spanish people. To some extent I think they got away with this aim: if one does... | From the very beginning, the way the characters meet and the way they are attracted to one another, to when they are in a hot tub and the way they go from being friendly to being lovers, this movie is about two people falling in love. It is a very deep topic and they bring it up very well. I do have to say that I don't... | From the very beginning, the movie seemed very interesting, so I decided to watch it in my school's media computer lab.<br /><br />Even though the plot wasn't entirely new, it was done differently, so I didn't have problems following the movie.<br /><br />The movie, overall, was quite good, and there were certain parts... |
I guess I was attracted | I guess I was attracted to this movie for the reason that the trailer looked so good. Unfortunately that's it. The acting was a complete no-name and that's not a good thing whatsoever since the movie has tons of characters. Some of them are really weak, to say the least, and even though the actors try to put on a face ... | I guess I was attracted to seeing this movie because of the cover. The woman looked very intriguing for a black historical drama. I was wrong, WRONG WRONG WRONG. I thought maybe it had to be some kind of bad joke because there was nothing funny about what they had there. I just got up and left. After a while, I was abl... | 0.500488 | 0.499512 | I guess I was attracted to the idea of a female lead, but this was so boring and utterly ridiculous I thought it was a spoof, especially considering that some other reviewers liked it.<br /><br />It's so unbelievable. How can a film be "wonderful and breathtaking" and yet have characters you can't help but dislike? The... | I guess I was attracted to "Brotherhood of Man" on the basis of the premise of a cross-racial romantic relationship with sexual tension. This is always a great idea for a film and could have been handled very well if done properly. This film just fails at that so I guess that's the most disappointing thing about this f... | I guess I was attracted to the story of "Redwood" because it involves the Pacific Northwest. The movie has a somewhat "somber" feel about it and doesn't offer too many "feel good" moments, but I was impressed on the whole. Denzel Washington has always impressed me, as he usually manages to "put on" an accent. Here he i... | I guess I was attracted to this movie by its plot, having just watched the 1936 version with Paul Lukas, the lead in which had died just six years before. I am never a great admirer of Lukas, but, after all, the part of the famous playwright, Oedipus, had been written for him.<br /><br />A young woman, Mary Allen is th... | I guess I was attracted to this film when it was originally published in Australia, as it was a rarity, and a fairly good film too. When I was 13, it was available as an open public access, which is quite unusual. I've looked into it and it appears to me that it wasn't actually on the top of the National Film Database,... | I guess I was attracted to this movie because of it's theme of redemption. This is one of the older movies that I have seen which is now starting to show its age but the film is still amazing. The music score was amazing, as well as the sound effects. In this movie there is a lot of dialogue which could have been done ... | I guess I was attracted to this film because of the wonderful reviews on this site. Now this movie had a great cast which I recognized as I watched it. The main character is quite likable and a little goofy. The chemistry between the characters is great. I also think this film is the story of life in and around the fil... | I guess I was attracted to this movie for being about something that most people do not think is a movie theme. The theme of an Asian American falling in love with a white girl and them having to face all the pressures of the society around them. I have read some recent negative reviews but I feel that if you look at t... |
I don't quite get the | I don't quite get the hype around this movie. One thing the critics didn't mention, is that it was a joint venture among the Hollywood studios. Maybe that's part of the reason why it was so bad. After all, who ever was going to be fired, if it didn't live up to it's expectations? I watched this on my local cable statio... | I don't quite get the comments about "this is a great film" <br /><br />It is a well-made film, very well-made, but it is, I think, totally unengaging. I found myself watching it out of morbid curiosity, not because it was so brilliant that I simply must see it (I think I might be a bit scared).<br /><br />The most I w... | 0.47558 | 0.52442 | I don't quite get the hype that this film got so many people talking in the first place. My initial reaction was "I have a feeling I'm going to be a little disappointed with this". Indeed, I am, but this is a good film. It has a little of James Cameron's heart. There are some very nice touch points, some of which are o... | I don't quite get the rave reviews for this film. Maybe its because I'm more of a genre movie buff than most. But I think its a well made flick and a better thriller than many on IMDb who have praised it. I watched it with my friend from the UK and he though the film was solid and that it should have gotten an R rating... | I don't quite get the raves for this film. I watched it as part of a 30-day film-making course, and I'm wondering what all the hype is over.<br /><br />To be honest, I don't remember much about the film other than I remember that it was a decent film by student film standards; certainly well-crafted and with a little m... | I don't quite get the hate for this show. It's got a real 1950s charm to it: a good sense of fun, decent production values and surprisingly clever writing. In a genre and year when the vast majority of TV comedy, especially drama-comedies, revolved around a stupid conflict in which a dumb protagonist had to outwit a bu... | I don't quite get the negative reviews for this film. Although it is a bit similar to several of the "scooby doo" (as it is called outside North America) movies, this one is quite enjoyable for me. The main thing I liked about it was that it wasn't made to appeal to the youth audience. Most of the jokes you can figure ... | I don't quite get the reason for the low rating on this movie. It's not too exciting as far as action, but it does have some nice elements in it. Yes it's a romantic comedy, and although at times it is a bit far-fetched, I had a good time watching it and the final scene was absolutely heart-warming. I don't expect ever... | I don't quite get the criticism of the film. I was intrigued by the story line and really enjoyed the film. The actors were great (Drew Barrymore and Hugh Dancy in particular but the rest of the crew were well done also). The story seems to have been underdone as there wasn't enough time to get to everything but I didn... | I don't quite get the hype from some. I don't mind how long a film takes to make, I actually think it will improve on some occasions. The only thing that annoys me is when a film takes years to make, but doesn't get made. That just infuriates me. I hope they'll be making this one for a few more years. I like big films,... |
This movie was awful. The | This movie was awful. The story line is not only unbelievable, but ridiculous. One of the main characters has a terrible hearing loss and wears hearing aids. He cannot understand how to play baseball until a friend comes along wearing glasses. I am sure that all in the audience laughed at this and said, What he needs i... | This movie was awful. The plot was a bit too complicated. I really would like to know how anyone could watch this and still think it was good. The jokes just weren't funny. A few of the jokes I understood, and they were all over the place. I have to wonder how these actors came up with their lines. Do they have a list ... | 0.500492 | 0.499508 | This movie was awful. The acting was absolutely horrible. There was nothing about it to make one want to watch. It wasn't scary, it had a few funny spots, but all and all it just failed. This wasn't a movie about a horror of a killer dog. The movie starts out on a note so terrible that the rest of the movie continues t... | This movie was awful. The story was the only good thing about this movie.

Some of the lines were cheesy, but I don't think there was anything good about th... | This movie was awful. The special effects were way too bad to really scare anyone, and the acting for the characters was not good. I can make fun of these people, and say that they make it look like college kids acting bad about the acting in 1970s. The movie was not scary, and it had too much blood. I also think they ... | This movie was awful. The acting was terrible. I am a big fan of "Little Brother", but this had so little connection to the first movie that it almost seemed it wasn't even made for the same series.<br /><br />A big disappointment. The main message I deduced from the movie was, "Little Brother IS us, therefore don't tr... | This movie was awful. The acting at best could have been that of a high schooler. Some shots you could tell was not part of the movie, but an afterthought, such as the 4 people standing around the kitchen table after the explosion, laughing. The dialogue was so hackneyed. They just keep repeating certain lines over and... | This movie was awful. The plot was convoluted, there weren't enough scenes showing how the main characters could have possibly "bonded" as the script implies, the pace was too slow and uneventful, even the so-called "romance" sub-plot was a silly afterthought at best, and for the most part, this felt like a college stu... | This movie was awful. The script was slow, slow, SLOW! I can get into something slow like the book of revelations, or the bible, or even my job, but this was just too much. It was obvious that this guy was just going to repeat the exact ideas that someone else's person wrote 2 or 3 years ago. No original ideas whatsoev... | This movie was awful. The jokes sucked, and the acting was all too cheesy. But that aside, the plot was so predictable, and the entire movie seemed scripted to try and manipulate your every emotion. I kept wishing through out the movie that for once the actors had just decided to go all out and make a movie that wasn't... |
Holy crap. This was the | Holy crap. This was the most boring thing I have seen in a very long time. The script should have been given to a monkey, it was so bad. The production design was equally awful and so was the directing and editing. Basically, the whole film is an excuse for someone to take another shot at a career. The film seems to be... | Holy crap. This was the least of the original Nightmare series. I didn't think a Nightmare was possible, let alone a sequel. But hey, that's entertainment? Who cares? I'll take the bad and just hope there's an ending that won't destroy the great Nightmare series. No comment about the acting, though, I'm not sure if tha... | 0.485288 | 0.514712 | Holy crap. This was the first "original" Disney show I ever saw and I was 6 years old. That first time I saw it, I nearly urinated myself. The animation styles are pretty much identical to those used in Kingdom Hearts, which makes perfect sense considering how many times Disney has licensed their intellectual property ... | Holy crap. This was the best comedy I have EVER seen!! It is so good it leaves you with a feeling for a long time after the show's over. I would not trade in my copy of the show for any amount of money in the world! It has the best writing, acting, and production I have EVER seen. I just bought 14 more episodes on DVD,... | Holy crap. This was the best movie I've ever seen. It's a film that'll make you happy. It'll make you cry. And it'll make you want to eat all the chocolate ice cream you can. It took every bit of acting I had to bring the movie together, but the editing and the music really helped us all, and the director (and the man ... | Holy crap. This was the best movie i have seen in a long time. My first reaction to this beautiful gem was "WTF?!" because i haven't heard anything about this movie since the first scene. It had every single thing you can ask for in a movie: action, romance, adventure, mystery, drama, death and even religion thrown int... | Holy crap. This was the best episode of the whole damn series. Everything was so true...<br /><br />It really showed those hard times during the war and at those war zones. The way it has to be in order to survive! The best was the war scenes (they are probably the only really realistic ones), the way the soldiers trie... | Holy crap. This was the single worst film EVER produced by Hollywood. (At least IMDb doesn't let you give something a negative ranking). It was not only ridiculous acting but unbelievable characters. It's even more unbelievable to have this film rated by the public and rated a 7! You have to be kidding me. It's like sa... | Holy crap. This was the last movie I saw with my girlfriend at her parent's house one night before I had to get back in town. I was not expecting anything serious and it certainly didn't deliver that but some really cool stuff went down that I am not going to get into because it seems to get ruined.<br /><br />I just c... | Holy crap. This was the most incredible "thriller" movie I think I've ever seen. I haven't seen the novel, but I can't imagine this movie failing to deliver if that's all it has been changed. It's definitely a movie I'm looking forward to watching a second time (as well as the first time) because it had something which... |
SWING! is an important film | SWING! is an important film for a number of reasons. It won the Best Picture Oscar of 1939 and was released by MGM at a point in the late 30's where they had already lost the swing. If the studio hadn't been falling out the race for swing films, this one might not have been made. The film was also the first one featuri... | SWING! is an important film in cinema history. It gives hope, love and happiness, especially in difficult times. Although it is a black/white movie, the director captures the color, sound, and dance of the 30s' jazz age.

I highly recomme... | 0.446999 | 0.553001 | SWING! is an important film from an art & film movement that was happening during the movie's release in the late 60's called the French New Wave. To begin, I give you a brief history lesson of this film's roots. It seemed that after the horror of WWII for American & Europeans alike, that in the process, most people, e... | SWING! is an important film because it represents the beginning of the "integration era", but it's not all that great of a film for several reasons. First of all, the film is a musical, but it doesn't really have a true "score" (as it isn't comprised of original songs or even covers of popular material). In fact, most ... | SWING! is an important film for a number of reasons: first of all, it is a very interesting look into the history of swing music, which until recently wasn't really portrayed well in films (with the exception, of course, of JERRY MAGUIRE, which covered jazz music). Swing music is, after all, a very influential music ge... | SWING! is an important film because it was one of the very first musicals to show a more realistic view of life than the usual musicals did. At the time, musicals were considered as comedy films, and they were indeed very fun. It was like "let's just have a lot of music, and laugh at the funny characters." This concept... | SWING! is an important film. It may not be the best work of John Wayne or even his most popular. It isn't a film that has been repeated many times. But it is a film that is worthy of a large audience. Sure, Wayne is John Wayne and you see his good looks and athleticism. He is good and he has many memorable moments.

For a variety of reasons, it was ahead of its time. The film is considered one of the best film musicals made in the Golden Age. It is one of the best. And that is its greatness. The film does not try to hide the fact that the film is about dancing, and therefore we know that we are there t... | SWING! is an important film in the history of racial attitudes in American movies. A black swing musician, Gene, tries to get his band a gig at a big white audience nightclub. He is constantly turned down because he is, in fact, black while the other bands are constantly invited to appear thanks to their "white" skin. ... |
There's not a drop of | There's not a drop of truth in this one. The premise of this film begins with 1928s Great Crash, and I'd say that it is as true to events of that era as The Lord of the Rings is to the events of WWI. However, that is not the only problem with "The Young Victoria" (I won't call it a movie): The cast is very miscast, and... | There's not a drop of blood or gore that you've seen, that hasn't been done in about 8 more movies than this one. The only thing that isn't repetitive about this one is the cast. The script seemed more like the script that they made up to fill in the dialogue in the movie. It's all just the same. There are lots of mome... | 0.50048 | 0.49952 | There's not a drop of the horror genre in this flick.

If you have gone through this flick so far, you must have enjoyed the fact that you didn't have to concentrate w... | There's not a drop of good that comes out of any situation, the plot is weak and uninspiring and the acting is lackluster and bland. This movie was not even funny, which is one the main reasons I thought to see it. If you love scary movies, check some of them out, but avoid A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Final Nightmar... | There's not a drop of 'mystery' in this one.

In other words this film is a cross between a murder thriller and a mystery (and yes, I know the difference); a good movie for a Friday night when you just want to relax and watch something that you don't ... | There's not a drop of film in this film. It's based on this wonderful song and I didn't know if the song would be able to hold a film up but it does.

At least one of the writers and director has a medical background, so you can count the blood in that department. It took them 2 minute... | There's not a drop of sentimentality in this film and I love it. In fact, I can't say why but I love this film.

What a mistake. I can't believe anyone in the studio liked the script, and thought it was worth taking to the trouble of filming.

In fact, apart from some of the young members of the police force, the actors make the film less watchable with such overacted, poorly act... | A very cheesy and dull show.<br /><br />I've seen many episodes and they all really sucked.<br /><br />It's really nothing scary or creepy.<br /><br />It makes fun of those bad horror movies, but the thing is: they're not all that fun to watch.<br /><br />It doesn't follow a good plot line or even show any kind of stor... | A very cheesy and dull TV series. I've seen this show many times growing up, especially as a kid, and never even thought about it until I was on a trip and I actually looked for it, and rented an entire series of it. But I will say that the first and last season with Bill Paxton was what made the show special for me. I... | A very cheesy and dull "horror", "family" movie which only comes alive thanks to the presence of the fantastic and always reliable YOUNG TROMBKA and KUZMANOVIC. It's a good, clean, family film which will make you jump and get your blood going at time. Not much to brag about, to be honest, but one can't ask for more the... | A very cheesy and dull story of a man who is bitten for the second time by a bat infected by rabies, and then tries to break into the lab to find out the reason why he is ill and how he is going to die. He is taken in with the help of a female cop, after the lab guy is shot dead during the chase. After this he discover... | A very cheesy and dull "horror" movie--a bunch of people in 100-year-old mansion in England have to put up with a crazy author and his ghost to complete a book about a curse on the house. I'll admit, parts of this movie (including some of the murders) are slightly funny. But then, why all the fuss? Who gave this film a... | A very cheesy and dull "horror" flick. I watched this movie for the sole reason that it was featured in a couple of other movies I had recorded. I would have otherwise left it on the shelf. The main character, "Bill," is very good and believable. The "hero" of the story is someone who's seen a lot and is more than read... |
There are some nice shots | There are some nice shots in the beginning of the movie but that is about it. A very slow motion that is interrupted by some really bad and silly action scenes like a guy in a tank top who runs down a hallway with several guys shooting at him and does not get hurt. You will just laugh. This is why you should not watch ... | There are some nice shots, the editing and photography and cinematography are all first rate, but for a film about a serial killer, how hard is it to make the audience feel that you understand his motivations, the pressures of society, and the reasons why people choose darkness. This film fails to even mention psycholo... | 0.399824 | 0.600176 | There are some nice shots, but the plot is so unbelievable. There is no chemistry between the characters and they all act like children. The main actor is a bad copy of Dustin Hoffman and even worse a bad copy of Hoffman in Rain Man. Very sad movie. It's not that great to watch the movie. It goes to slow and the story ... | There are some nice shots and angles, which unfortunately don't get enough attention in the film.<br /><br />Otherwise there are not many positive aspects about this film, the pace is slow, character development is weak and it's full of clichéd dialogues. I am sorry, but I do not see the point in all the talk about wha... | There are some nice shots of the old house and the lake (which is actually a lake in Connecticut but supposedly in New York, on Long Island I think). Otherwise, this is a pretty boring film. The direction is good, but there is no drama. There are some creepy moments where some scenes are shot off key and overexposed, a... | There are some nice shots of Manhattan in the film, including a scene where we see Jerry Lee Lewis's piano store being torn down. I really get the feeling that the filmmaker, a true New Yorker, had a great love and affection for the city and the residents and it shows in the film, which is a good thing.<br /><br />What... | There are some nice shots of New York, and the actors are charming, I liked the way the film was filmed, and all the actors are believable, as we are not expected to see any one really fall for the other, its a nice little film to see on a Sunday morning with a large glass of red, or whatever! (if you like films a litt... | There are some nice shots in this film and the editing is very nice. Otherwise, it is utter nonsense. I didn't see much point to this film. I know that if a young girl is going to make films, she may as well make them. After all, they don't have a lot to do until they have established themselves in the industry and are... | There are some nice shots of the American Indian artifacts that the main character finds and that are so prominent in his family history. We also see the art of the sculptor and his assistants in carving them. That is the last time we ever see any of the art. This film doesn't really develop the relationship between th... | There are some nice shots and great cinematography and interesting characters. The film is well acted as well, especially from the leads, Landon and Dern. I thought that this film captured the essence of small town life quite well. I'd say, if you like well written films about life, you'll like this one. |
When a man who doesn't | When a man who doesn't like a movie that he wrote, produced and is in is, is asked to say three sentences about that film I know that's not easy, but it is possible. Let's see: There's a plot, or two, or maybe a few. It's about a guy who goes on a cross-country drive, and has a bunch of things happen to him along the w... | When a man who doesn't care about politics meets with a young liberal and an anti-GMT woman who doesn't go to church and find out she is pregnant, it is a good basis for an interesting political and religious comment, I guess. But, that is it. Everything else is just a sequence of very ordinary, not too well acted, eve... | 0.560275 | 0.439725 | When a man who doesn't believe in ghosts dies, his ghost haunts the man who was once in love with his fiancee. I don't know what was wrong with the first half of the movie, but once this started moving along (and the title came up) it caught you up in it. The acting is great, the setting is perfect, the photography is ... | When a man who doesn't pay attention to everything that goes on around him is attacked, his wife comes to his aid but there are consequences for doing so in a movie as disturbing as this one. But why would a wife care when her husband is attacked? They have a good marriage, they live together and enjoy the things that ... | When a man who doesn't want a baby woman gets pregnant what's the most important thing you want to know? Would you want to know why? Or who does the father think the mother is? Wouldn't you rather know the answer to that question? Is that too hard for anyone to do? That's the real problem here that's never dealt with a... | When a man who doesn't like it when things go wrong and has a problem with his relationship with his father, moves into his father's house to care for him, he learns a lot and grows as a person in this beautifully written and directed movie.<br /><br />The two leads are superb.<br /><br />It could be a bit longer as th... | When a man who doesn't pay for sex is raped, the woman who has the ability to do right thing is a little more evil than she should be. Yet, the man who does pay, is a man who tries to get away with what he doesn't pay for. How does he do it by using this guy who likes to get raped. I enjoyed these guys with the same se... | When a man who doesn't have a clue about baseball finds himself in a small town where almost everyone is passionate about it he is forced to learn very quickly so he can keep up and survive where he is trying to go his own way. This movie is just so much fun and is a great feel good movie. I have always been a fan of b... | When a man who doesn't belong to this world comes to a strange land, who doesn't understand the inhabitants or the language, he is most often ridiculed or laughed at.<br /><br />This is what the title hero, a man with a great future, has to come to terms with when he finally arrives in the land of people he once knew -... | When a man who doesn't have to write a review because he has the movie on DVD because he won't give his address so I can find him, you have some issues with your film selection.<br /><br />But that said, this is, as the poster said, a perfect film. You love those '50s period pieces and those '50s 'mystery' movies. This... |
I have been looking for | I have been looking for this movie on DVD/VHS for years..I watched it as a child in the late 1980's and I loved it! I was not surprised that so many other people hated it and thought it was stupid..I love horror movies that are just fun to watch..And, i enjoyed this one! the cast gave their all, as did the director and... | I have been looking for this movie for years. There was some mention of it in a late night movie show of the 70's, and of course, only my sister and I were watching. My mother always had to say, "Don't be foolish, there is no such thing as a movie show at night." But we both swore that there was, and she had to watch w... | 0.842088 | 0.157912 | I have been looking for this film for years and after finally buying it on DVD from the United States, I watched it with a lot of anticipation. As a long time fan of the writer Paul Morris who is also a very talented pianist and musician myself, I just didn't know what I would make of it after all the rave reviews. I r... | I have been looking for this movie ever since it was banned from general release and it has been available on the internet for years. When you view this movie for the first time, you won't understand this film at all, and I was not ready then. This film has been in my mind all these years, and recently at 18, finally, ... | I have been looking for years to buy a copy of this show. If I remember right, it only went for one season. I saw it when it originally aired. It was quite interesting. I would recommend anyone to pick up this show. They should be able to get the DVD from a few stores. You could use the internet search engine to try to... | I have been looking for this show for a lot of years. I first heard of it when I was about 10 1/2 living in Oregon, and I thought it was some kind of campy TV movie. I found out its availability and purchased it not long after. The only thing that really bothered me with it are many of the comments people have made. Mo... | I have been looking for this one to buy for two years, maybe even longer. It is so hard to find. But today I saw it on sale (the price is always high). I read somewhere that it was the perfect film for people in their forties. I am in my 30's and felt the story was just right for me. I am a real romantic, with an emoti... | I have been looking for the DVD for this movie in Canada for a year now. It's incredible that a great comedy that was filmed in Canada, has not only had its Canadian DVD released yet, but that the US DVD contains many of the same cast members and actors and is cheaper! I can't believe that many of the great Canadian ac... | I have been looking for the video since it's release in '61 and was able to find a copy from Japan on the 'Net (on ebay!). This film is an unbelievable treasure and should be part of the Library of Congress's film archive. When I first saw the trailer for this film there were some scenes shown - then the plot was revea... | I have been looking for a video by this filmmaker for quite some time. And now that it's finally here, how I wish it could have been a video version I remember watching as a twelve- year old. It was always my favorite TV series at a young age. I was always looking forward to watching it every day. I didn't know which t... |
As the number of Video | As the number of Video Nods, I guess this is an indication of a great movie.<br /><br />What a pleasure to see what happened back in 1981 to make people feel so much horror at that special type of crime. Now, they have just forgotten about the past, and people are not aware of this, and of so many other facts of the pa... | As the number of Video Nuke films grows over time, the quality of the actual films has become consistently worse. The films are also becoming longer and less and less coherent. This latest effort is the most nonsensical of all. A young couple on their honeymoon discover a meteorite with a bizarre green glow. However, t... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | As the number of Video Nominations begins being announced on the internet and it's more of the same old same old, I still can't believe that one of my all time favourite films, "Tora Tora Tora Tora" directed by Akira Kurosawa, managed to come out of an incredibly competitive field and take home three awards. I think th... | As the number of Video Stores are going down because of the online market, I am grateful for those places still standing. The Movie Bar in Brooklyn has a HUGE collection of horror, sci-fi and cult movies. You will be able to find a cult movie for just $3 as they have dozens of them for a dollar or less (it's like a dol... | As the number of Video N, or "Video Nolife," fans who come from anime fans, there is a fair amount of debate on what's anime and what's not anime. The original "Video N" shows are certainly anime, although a little weird. But as the series went on it started bringing in more and more video clips from pop culture, but t... | As the number of Video Nudists increases, I will feel satisfied. It also looks like I do have an idea how to make a similar video film with my friends. We have been looking around for porn video films, but some of us, (not the girls) feel rather reluctant to watch films with naked women because some of us are rather sh... | As the number of Video On Demand shows continue to grow, we've all heard the complaints about those who don't pay for cable and don't subscribe. Those complaints ring even higher when you're watching a show that you could wait a lifetime to see.<br /><br />Fortunately, there are programs like the wonderful movie "Cassa... | As the number of Video Nuking (Nuke Nuker) movies increases, I thought it would be good to see one featuring some real actors. This one fails. Sure, it has some good actors, but there were way to few and some of them really couldn't act their way out of a paper sack. The story is not interesting. This movie has to be o... | As the number of Video Nastre films on DVD releases keeps increasing, its a pleasure to see such obscure movies released. This being a particularly good one.<br /><br />The film has a great opening scene (you need to check the out-takes in the DVD). The scene also reminds one of Robert Altman's "Nashville", but much be... | As the number of Video Nasties is so small, and so few seem to appear regularly on British Television, I am very glad that this one was aired in the last couple of years. I had not seen it since my parents bought the video. It is not great art, but it certainly is atmospheric, and it is all the better for it.<br /><br ... |
Not sure if I'm referring | Not sure if I'm referring to the English or Irish title of this one. Anyway the one which is supposed to be a sort of tribute to the great Irish singer. So you will forgive some mistakes in the title of this one.<br /><br />Anyway let's get on track. This one should be considered a rather successful first Irish mus... | Not sure if I'm referring to the fact that this movie was filmed in the summer in Canada and then released in December, or that it was advertised in a small town as a musical western, or that it apparently never made it to DVD or VHS, but this is a terrible film with about 8 minutes of anything worth seeing, in an 88 m... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 | Not sure if I'm referring to the film itself or the commentary following at TMC. If the film is any indication, they must have had some very good fun at the expense of the production people; the film has the appearance of an "I'll Get You" production. The movie itself has some fun moments, the whole premise of a movie ... | Not sure if I'm referring to this story as "fascinating" is the proper word but that's what it did to me. It was extremely fascinating but also very moving, I should say. How, at the same time, the director was able to show the horrors of WWII and the beauty of life has been left in a refugee camp in Italy I can't imag... | Not sure if I'm referring to the story, the script, the photography, the acting, or the editing but in all of the elements, I've seen that makes a film come to life, this film failed. And miserably so.<br /><br />Let me preface what follows by mentioning that I've not seen nearly all the films available out there and... | Not sure if I'm referring to a movie or a concept; either way this is the worst film I've seen in years. I was going to give 'Manos, the hands of fate' a try and I got that impression from the box but thought it was a DVD of 'Manos' with the new animated intro. <br /><br />Don't make the same mistake I made. The openin... | Not sure if I'm referring to the movie or the book (which I haven't read); but a very engaging story. Not perfect; but certainly a pretty good read by way of movie. Enjoyable and entertaining.<br /><br />And the acting is strong. | Not sure if I'm referring to 'The Woman in Black' or 'The Changeling', but either way, I saw the film when it first came out in 1990s and I loved it with my heart and soul. It still, still, and still freaks me out and I find nothing scary of the modern horror films (except maybe 'The Ring', which still freaks me out) t... | Not sure if I'm referring to this movie as classic film for the obvious reasons or if for me it is more due to a personal connection I have with most of the leads. Regardless, I cannot stop my praise for this movie! I have seen it countless times and every time it makes me laugh, cry and most importantly feel warm at t... | Not sure if I'm referring to it being a bad movie or a bad story, because it was a combination of both. The story was the same with the same actors and script as Season of the Witch, but they simply added in more footage to make it a complete movie. And that is where the story went from creepy to very confusing. The pl... |
This video nasty was initially | This video nasty was initially released in the US as "Red Eye". It's another tale of revenge for the killer's brother on the day of his bachelor party. There's a lot of good acting going on and you can see the actors have a lot of fun in this gore fest. The acting is good and we get to see some great T&A. It's good stu... | This video nasty was initially banned in the UK, but was eventually released on a very limited basis on the R-rated VHS format.<br /><br />As is typical of the entire VHS nasties collection, S&M and gore is plentiful.<br /><br />The film concerns a new horror play, "The Bleeder", whose producer (played by Christopher D... | 0.832776 | 0.167224 | This video nasty was initially banned, but now considered an example of exploitation cinema and a horror cult item. It's certainly a strange movie, set in a hospital; a bunch of patients are all there under duress and have many unpleasant experiences. One person gets the treatment they don't want and a body part is rem... | This video nasty was initially filmed as a big budget movie with Gene Hackman and was re-shot with James Karen with the same script! It was one of the first slasher movies ever made, and there is an extra sense of chill in a late 70's setting that can make the film even scarier than a modern day film.<br /><br />James ... | This video nasty was initially banned in 1979, and has since become a cult film and a personal favorite of mine, much the same way as "Blood of the Living Dead", and "The Hills Have Eyes" were once banned. The difference between these films is that while "Toxic Avenger" isn't the greatest film of its kind, the others h... | This video nasty was initially banned, and only recently released uncut due to a lengthy appeal by the director against the ban. When I saw it I found that this is in fact a rather impressive B - movie. It's pretty disturbing, and quite bloody. Also the gore is well shown, e.g. there's a scene where the killer has cut ... | This video nasty was initially released with a total of 90 seconds of footage hacked off, but due to the efforts of the late Jack Valenti, the film was allowed to be released and eventually get a DVD release. There is no nudity in this film or the original novel that provides a plot device for a love story, but the hor... | This video nasty was initially a big hit in France, but was heavily censored on its debut in the United States. The film is based on a true story about an aristocrat, Marquis De Sade (played by Klaus Kinski), who is sentenced to a life of hard labor on a sugar plantation in Guyana.<br /><br />Kinski does an excellent j... | This video nasty was initially banned by the UK in 1973 after being thought to show "the kind of activities that might lead a young viewer to want to commit similar acts against his own father." I'd seen several horror movies, and I guess if I were really young, I might believe in the devil's existence. That sort of id... | This video nasty was initially banned in the U.K., though I guess the "puss" was released (when we're talking about 1976 here, this means only a few years ago.) In the first, more boring part the film is nothing more but a bit weird British western with lots of action scenes. From there on it changes into a kind of Ita... |
Of the three titles from | Of the three titles from director Ulli Lommel "The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave" (1979), "The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave II" (1980) and "The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave III" (1983) - only the last one offers something interesting to its viewers. It's true that this one has a lot of flaws as all t... | Of the three titles from Joe Dante that I have seen (Gates of Heaven, Gremlins, and Demolishing Manhattan), this one is easily the worst. This must be one of those cases where the concept sounds good if taken alone, but becomes a nightmare when it is realized that the script is weak. The plot revolves around a young wo... | 0.509728 | 0.490272 | Of the three titles from the same year ("Gone With The Wind", "Citizen Kane", "Casablanca"
), this should have been given "Best Picture", not the previous year's "Gone" that was a bit of a novelty item, nor any year's "Casablanca" which is a film that I would never tire of watching, either.<br /><br />It comes as a sur... | Of the three titles from the '47 series of 'Murders at the Windmill' the one which has endured time and is seen now, is, most likely, the earlier filmed one. 'One Night of Love' was made in the early stages of the series. It's interesting how quickly the formula was being worked out. Now that we have a solid, though si... | Of the three titles from the same studio for which William Cameron Menzies was credited with the art direction, I saw this one last. (Actually, I've seen all three in an assorted order. I'm an unabashed fanatic for this kind of work.) My friend and I decided it would be more fun to see them out of sequence, and we were... | Of the three titles from Roger Corman's American International, this is generally the best one, for the simple fact it has more going for it than the other two. One problem is still present, that it takes place on a college campus, something I've never been overly fond of. This problem was especially apparent back in t... | Of the three titles from 1961 for the legendary director Ettore Scola that I've seen (this one, 'All Over the Place,' and the 1962 remake of 'The Bicycle Thief'), this is easily the least accessible of the three to an American audience. The story - a father and son on a bike tour of Italy, who decide to stop in a refug... | Of the three titles from writer/director Samira Makhmalbaf, it's perhaps the second, the 2001 masterpiece "Not Without My Daughter", that has been the most widely regarded. That film certainly did earn the praise for it's powerful subject matter, the ongoing situation in Afghanistan where women have few rights, but whe... | Of the three titles from this director this is definitely his best. I think this had a difficult time in the US because of the sexuality in it. But, it is well worth watching. Some scenes like the one where the woman is laying in the lake and the man masturbates over her, are truly unique. Also the final film of the tr... | Of the three titles from this company's "Horrors of the Holocaust" series, "The Nazis - A warning from history" provides the most informative lessons and the most honest and credible interpretation from the Nazi viewpoint. It also is, in a word, far more interesting to watch than the previous and next entries in this s... |
How can you tell that | How can you tell that a movie is going to be bad all the way through? A couple of things come into play during the first few scenes. First, and more importantly, will the filmmakers ever have the gumption to do anything about the terrible acting going on before your very eyes, or will the actors be permitted to continu... | How can you tell that a movie was written and directed by the same person? If this person who wrote the screenplay also had director's job, that surely says something (not always a good thing) about the final product. This is what you want for something like, say, Dogma, where two filmmakers will make one film together... | 0.555972 | 0.444028 | How can you tell that a movie is really, really bad? No, it's not the dialogue, it's not the characters, and it's not because you haven't seen the genre in awhile and can't keep focused.<br /><br />It's when all of the sudden you're laughing and rolling on the floor in glee...because every time you're watching it you s... | How can you tell that you're reading a serious work of film theory and analysis without losing sight of the main point? You know what I'm on about because you've heard the debate on whether or not this is one of those kind of books before. There are just two types of books on film out there.

Simple - the editing is obvious and the dubbing is horrible.<br /><br />"The Great Escape" is a very entertaining film, that I recommend every time anyone in the world tells me they don't like British films. There are great actors. Van Damme, Ewan McGregor, and the ... | How can you tell that this is a made-for-TV movie on the opening scenes? The scenery looks fake, the colors too harsh. But once the film enters the old house, it becomes more and more interesting as the mystery is slowly unraveled. The fact that none of the characters has any redeeming quality is what makes it special.... | How can you tell that a movie is old and cheap? By the music. In particular, cheap movies seem to have very generic and repetitive "theme" music, often with lyrics that are extremely boring.

I like it a lot, with a couple of reservations, that can be justified.<br /><br />The first thing that struck me was the use of the soundtrack in the first 90-minutes (I think I read somewhere that the original film went about 2+ hours), I must say that the use of the music and ... | I cannot stay indifferent to this movie. The story of a true story written by the very man, who's experience it is, I can see it in the face, in the movements, in everything that happens.<br /><br />It is a documentary movie, not exactly a cinema film, it is very well done by the director and its message is deeply movi... | I cannot stay indifferent to the movie. It is very interesting movie. It is nice directed and acted. It is not a movie about one war hero, but about one particular man who was an ordinary citizen before he found out, that he is going to be a war hero, who is always ready for sacrifice. This movie about friendship, abou... | I cannot stay indifferent to the fact that this movie is a documentary about people who decided to live their dreams together, that is to create their own show, with their own rules, style, make-up & hair and, of all people, with a baby in the mother's tummy...<br /><br />The movie is about that woman and her son, who ... | I cannot stay indifferent to a bad movie, at least after having suffered through it while watching. This one made me want to be sick. My only hope is that the writer, director and cast do not make a career out of writing and directing bad TV movies. Please. I have never watched a worse one than "The Big House, on the M... | I cannot stay indifferent to the fact that the American TV networks (in particular the CBS) are broadcasting so many new series, trying to cash in on the success of Lost.<br /><br />But here I am...<br /><br />Not even mentioning the good direction and acting, I am impressed by some technical details: For instance: the... | I cannot stay indifferent to any of the comments written here. This piece of work is a pure joy, a pure surprise of what can cinema be nowadays if one wants to create different stories around the theme of war. But for me the point is that this film does not only talk about what war has meant to each character throughou... | I cannot stay indifferent to such a fantastic movie and its great actor. I read many comments of so-so appreciation, and some are even negative. May anybody tell me what you think about the movie? I like the movie very much, and this movie is one of those movies I go see each time whenever it comes to my city. Great an... |
This film is terrible. You | This film is terrible. You get a film that is supposed to be realistic and this is the most unrealistic film I have ever seen. The actors are completely awful. The camera is shaky so even if the film did not have the terrible script they would never be able to capture anything close to the realism they were attempting.... | This film is terrible. You do not need to be a crime film nut to notice that there isn't a single decent scene in the entire picture. The actors weren't especially good either. I didn't actually watch this through from beginning to end, but it seemed that everyone gave the film's lead character the old "we'll see how y... | 0.49908 | 0.50092 | This film is terrible. You really have to try hard to find some redeeming qualities here. My main gripe is that, except for Paul Bettany, nobody else is acting. Every other character is doing a great job of mimicking their character, while Bettany comes off as a slightly over the top, melodramatic Peter. The director a... | This film is terrible. You can't watch it without cringing, without wanting to see the characters get hurt, without wanting to know (and hoping) that they're not going to survive all the crazy, dumb events.<br /><br />In a movie where your only chance for escape is to let everything happen to you but then die, one of t... | This film is terrible. You can see the script lines written all over the lead actor (who is the worst). The film tries to be funny and ends up being really irritating.<br /><br />The scenes where he talks to the black guy are painful and you might even start yelling "shut up" at the screen. The scenes where he talks to... | This film is terrible. You may get something out of it, although if you are a person who enjoys film as a whole (as I do), the film becomes very annoying.<br /><br />I thought of myself, for a second, as this character. I thought, if there was a film as such and I was in it, I would probably be more detached and have a... | This film is terrible. You read the reviews here and feel better about renting this crapfest. I think I know now why I've never seen so many 'highly ranked' reviews but a few low ones instead. Perhaps the low ones are by people who do not realize how bad this film really is. I love bad films and I was looking forward t... | This film is terrible. You know why? The actors have no chemistry whatsoever. The director has no idea what he is doing. The sound is terrible--just awful audio. The acting is about on par with a bunch of high school students. The plot takes place in a small town which means that EVERYONE knows everyone else. It's like... | This film is terrible. You have to watch this for how long until it becomes a classic? 30 years?? You have to watch it until everyone in the world agrees? I saw it over 10 years ago and have seen it twice and it always amazes me. It's a great story, great music, great plot. People don't see the greatness of this film b... | This film is terrible. You think it will be a clever movie with some decent acting, plot lines that keep you guessing and some scary imagery but it is all far from the truth.<br /><br />The film starts off so promising with all of the actors doing a great job with their roles yet all hope is lost from this point on. I ... |
