I love sci-fi and am willing to put up with a lot. Sci-fi movies/TV are usually underfunded, under-appreciated and misunderstood. I tried to like this, I really did, but it is to good TV sci-fi as Babylon 5 is to Star Trek (the original). Silly prosthetics, cheap cardboard sets, stilted dialogues, CG that doesn't match... | 0neg | I love sci-fi and am an avid watcher of the Star Trek shows. I'm also a huge nerd and think that all of the sci-fi movies of the 1950s and 60s (i.e. Forbidden Planet, The Day the Earth Stood Still, 2001: A Space ODyssey) were great Sci-Fi cinema. So imagine my joy when I watched this film as a teenager for the first ti... | I love sci-fi and am always on the lookout for great sci-fi films so whenever possible, I check out this genre; after seeing "Cult of the Cobra" I am no longer looking for "good" sci-fi films. This is no good and I think the makers of this movie think they have somehow made something good as they take the first sentenc... | I love sci-fi and am a huge John Carpenter fan. I rented this on DVD and I was extremely disappointed. I would never have thought a great sci-fi writer like William Gibson would put his name on a story that was so poorly made. This wasn't scary, shocking or even interesting, in fact it was a very slow drawn out waste o... | I love sci-fi and am always on the lookout for any film that might be a classic. While most of them focus on some kind of alien invasion I have recently enjoyed some films that I was previously unfamiliar with that did not star aliens but still left me mesmerized.<br /><br />The most memorable of these films is one cal... | I love sci-fi and am a big fan of the original Star Wars. When I heard this movie was going to be coming out I was very excited but when I saw it I was very disappointed. All the new characters were flat and without depth. Their back stories were just thrown in without any emotional impact. And this was true for all th... | I love sci-fi and am interested in what the future holds. This film is so dated, the concept of computers, networks, security, data storage would be considered outdated in an 8th grade lab. The fact that it was from the late 60's really brought to mind the time when all of the space exploration happened. It was like re... | I love sci-fi and am really pleased at the effort made to present a very realistic picture. This is something I've never seen before in TV / movie, and I'm 40 years old already. But some of the "stars" are really overacting. They're not convincing. One gets the impression that the actors are just doing it for fun. That... | I love sci-fi and am one of those people who grew up in a sci-fi boom where everything great was being put on the screen, books were flying off the shelves and the sci-fi writers were making millions. I can honestly tell you the best book I read was Starship Troopers. It wasn't the only one either, but it was probably ... |
Worth the entertainment value of a rental, especially if you like action movies.

As an actor whose first film role made him famous a few years later, I'm sure that is a great feeling. The story was a little far-fetched, but at least I didn't fall asleep while I was watching it. ... | Worth the entertainment value of its premise alone, "Haven't they done this before?" is a delight of a film. It has a nice sense of humor to spare. It moves as fast as it does with wit and flair. One of the very best comedy films ever. It's a shame such quality has fallen by the wayside.

First off let me say, If you haven't enjoyed a Van Damme movie since bloodsport, you probably will not like this movie. Most of these movies may not have the best plots or best actors but I enjoy these kinds of movies for what they are. This movie is much better than any of the movies the other action guys (Segal and D... | 0neg | First off let me say, I've been a huge fan of this series since it first aired in August'07.

There are many parts in The Haunting of Hill House that are extremely creepy and even downright horrifying, that's what makes this film a good one, the horror... | First off let me say, I LOVED This Movie!! I will never forget seeing it as a little kid and I still love it. This movie is one of those where you always want to return to it. The main message of the film is to cherish your friendship and let go of grudges. I believe it should be mandatory for you to know the movie bef... | First off let me say, I was not impressed with the plot and story line and was hoping a great deal that this film would live up to being the 'Lord of the Rings' of Chinese cinema, but after a 2 hour wait to get to the theatre I was not even impressed with the visual effects. The movie starts and the first 15 mins or so... | First off let me say, the only reason I am writing this review is because I have just spent two hours watching a film called 'The Island'. I have to say it was a waste of time, if only not because I was curious and rented it, because of the box, because it is such a big blockbuster and such an "entertainer". I'll tell ... | First off let me say, this movie is not a classic, it's not even good! It's a fun movie, and the kids will love it. A fun romantic picture show of the '50's.<br /><br />One thing that stood out for me while I was watching this movie was the love of cars! Just like the Rockford Films movies, cars are what people watch w... | First off let me say, that this movie is a gem that everyone needs to watch to see how great a movie is capable of getting when done the right way. This movie is made on a low budget that even most major studios would die for.

I had high hopes for this one until they changed the name to 'The Shepherd : Border Patrol, the lamest movie name ever, what was wrong with just 'The Shepherd'.

No one can compare with the original and even though I really enjoyed this I can see a few changes could have been made to make it a real classic.<br /><br />I watched this not too long ago on my old VHS... | I had high hopes for "Girlfight" before seeing the movie, based on my understanding of the director's vision and all of the good things I'd heard about the film's subject matter (it is billed as a "true story"). My hopes were not in vain: it has become one of my favorite movies.<br /><br />"Girlfight" stars Michelle Ro... | I had high hopes for this film, but was greatly dissapointed. I wanted to see the director try to tackle some real issues and deal with them in a way that was authentic, but it seemed as the director put little thought into it. The characters were weak. Many of his previous films were very well thought out, with great ... | I had high hopes for this film after seeing some of the excellent work of previous "writers-of-the-week" on "Smallville". I thought that this would be a very interesting and well handled psychological thriller. The first fifteen minutes of the film are indeed compelling. But after that it takes a back seat to the main ... | I had high hopes for "The Order" but it was not to be. The film centers around this secret Vatican order in the 70s which works to combat Satanism. Michael Madsen plays the lead, an aspiring journalist who is sent to investigate the order. It's really not too exciting and has much more action than your average faith-ba... | I had high hopes for this film and was greatly let down.

Isaac Florentine has made some of the best western Martial Arts action movies ever produced. In particular US Seals 2, Cold Harvest, Special Forces and Undisputed 2 are all action classics.

What ensues is an incredibly ... | Isaac Florentine has made some films from the American Civil War that aren't very good (e.g. "Brotherhood Of War", "Red Rose State"), but "The Last Light Of The Frontier" is easily the best, in fact the finest, of them to date. Set on that war's eastern theatre, it concentrates on the relationship between two young men... | Isaac Florentine has made some interesting, experimental and visually arresting pictures over the years. His 2003 film, "Lili Marleen," featured a strong performance by Gretchen Mol in the title role, and some interesting and beautiful cinematography. Florentine also directed "The Long Good Friday," an interesting film... | Isaac Florentine has made some of the best films about the Black experience not only in London, but England as well. These films are not only very good but they are very good because they are so truthful. They do not make up and they do not over dramatise the things that happen in Black and White London. Their films ar... | Isaac Florentine has made some really odd things, but only one film that I would call "unconventional" would be his THE BANISHED (the other is his bizarre THE VIOLENT BROTHERHOOD (1966), which is probably only known to people in its English title THE KILLERS, the name this very different Italian production was sold und... | Isaac Florentine has made some truly horrible movie, and yet he never fails to surprise. This one is a mixture of different genres like western, gangster and thriller. The story is about a young woman whose only friend and father is killed by another man.

It actually pains me to say it, but this movie was horrible on every level. The blame does not lie entirely with Van Damme as you can see he tried his best, but let's face it, he's almost fifty, how much more can you ask of him?

I quite enjoyed The Wrecking Crew (1999), which was the last of the three films in this series (the first being Urban Menace (1999) which I've yet to see).

The only reason this movie is not given a 1 (awful) vote is that the acting of both Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan is superb.

STMD! is not a terrible movie, but it IS quite forgettable.

Okay, so it was never going to change the world, and it bombed at the box office, but Honky Tonk Freeway is one of those films I fell in love with as a child (the BBC showed it a few times during the 1980s and I happened to have a high quality VHS tape in the machine - lucky, that!) and watched endlessly.

A sprawling, overambitious, plotless comedy that has no dramatic center. It was probably intended to have an epic vision and a surrealistic flair (at least in some episodes), but the separate stories are never elevated into a meaningful whole, and the laughs are few and far between.

1983's "Frightmare" is an odd little film.

I caught this on IFC last week and I thought it was typical of the indie short subject film: heavy on style, little on substance and originality. Does it comes as any surprise that a coming out film stars an unusually attractive (and blond to boot) boy with 70s shag hair and too-cool-for-school clothes? Plus, this film... | 0neg | I caught this on IFC, and it seemed to be about a man looking for a black friend, and the main character was a white guy who didn't know any blacks.

I can't remember the last time a series on science and spirituality was so gripping. Richard Alpert (Ram Dasa) was a controversial figure. His story and the struggles of his fellow students, not to mention the student's mother, made for some very interesting viewing. The acting was outstanding.... | I caught this on IFC (which now has a new name for IFC in Canada). This movie is actually on the "bad taste" network right now.

The movie itself is a good example of one of those 1980s films that seem to be taking place in 1970. It is also funny because of its over-the-top depiction of what the '60s were really like on the streets. One interesting not... | I caught this on IFC.

Acolytes presents an interesting mix of original concepts in "screaming teen" cliché horror with a more thriller-like pacing.

In this case the girl, who was bullied, becomes powerful and uses... | Acolytes presents an interesting mix of both documentary and feature length film. It is more focused on the historical events that affected the Jewish community in Russia than in the U.S.A. However, the documentary footage still provides an incredible visual aspect to the film, showing how great the suffering of Jews i... | Acolytes presents an interesting mix of visual styles and storytelling, which makes it hard to categorise exactly what it is that you're watching, and as such is definitely one of the most interesting movies out there at the moment.<br /><br />The movie is composed of short segments, each with their own characters. Som... | Acolytes presents an interesting mix of Asian and Western culture, specifically Thailand and the US.

I love old school movies of all types and think this is one of those gems that are hard to find now. The plot line has a lot of suspense and good acting. I give this movie a 9/10. | This was a decent movie. I first saw it in the theater when it came about 1988, and the story still held-up almost 20 years later. It's not as realistic as the true-life story, but it was still an entertaining tale. I especially love the part at the end when she gets the phone call from home and is crying her eyes out. | This was a decent movie with the usual good British acting.

The movie looks like it was shot in the mid 1980's, but since the first version was made back in 1... | A rather lame teen slasher film about a girl who just wants to kill her entire family for their many, many mistakes towards her.

Although it's better than a lot of the junk movies you get today if it is released in the theaters they should put it in the PG-13 or G.

This film, which I rented under the title "Black Voodoo" should be avoided. I was expecting a blaxploitation/horror flick; but what I got was a very dull, standard "ghost extracts vegence".
