"Cover Girl" is a lacklustre WWII musical with absolutely nothing memorable about it, save for its signature song, "Long Ago and Far Away." This film came out before Gene Kelly really hit his artistic stride, and while there are evidences of his burgeoning talent here, mostly he plays sidekick to Rita Hayworth. And the... | 0neg | "Cover Girl" is a lacklustre attempt at comedy, however there are a few scenes that hit a chord. This is, after all, a Woody Allen film, a filmmaker that has yet to put out anything of the quality that has come out of him over the last decade.<br /><br />Woody plays the part of a famous filmmaker trying to complete an ... | "Cover Girl" is a lacklustre comedy that looks as if it was written for a college film class. There's a reason why all you'll find is a very cursory plot summary of this picture, for the most part -- no one wants to embarrass themselves over this one. Anyway, let me tell you: <br /><br />"Cover Girl" is about two ladie... | "Cover Girl" is a lacklustre film that fails to capture the energy of its subject and of its material the book from which it borrows its title, Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar". At the other end of the spectrum, Plath's own life story provides a more vivid and intense source from which to draw a film biography.<br /><br... | "Cover Girl" is a lacklustre adaptation of a story about women in the early days of the Mod art movement, which originated in 1960s London.<br /><br />This is, at a guess, mostly a feminist take on a story about a photographer (Peter Morsel) who is attracted to his models (Mikaela Blom, Samantha Morton, Eddy Mort, Nata... | "Cover Girl" is a lacklustre romantic comedy with a number of laugh out loud scenes and one of the biggest musical sequences in recent history. With all the great songs, however, this movie's lack of direction and overall storyline, are truly the main culprit to the films lack of success. With a cast of A-listers, "Cov... | "Cover Girl" is a lacklustre musical about a talented woman singer (Ella Raines) looking for love and recognition while doing a gig in Hollywood.<br /><br />The story drags and the plot is quite uninteresting. Raines has a fine soprano and does her job well, but doesn't have many musical numbers on her own and most of ... | "Cover Girl" is a lacklustre musical drama about the "Hollywood" of the 1940s, which is told from the perspective of a young woman who is determined to get into this glamorous world as a songwriter. It certainly was a great time to be making musicals as far as the genre concerned in that decade: "I Married an Angel", "... | "Cover Girl" is a lacklustre feature about 1940s Hollywood set around the trials of a struggling fashion photographer. The first half is interesting, giving a glimpse of a female photographer working in an era dominated by men; the second half, however, gets somewhat boring thanks to a drawn-out love triangle. The cast... |
Formulaic slasher film, only this one stars three ten year olds (all born during a lunar eclipse) as the killers. Nice, huh? A little bit of gore and a nice nude scene may make this worthwhile for diehard fans of the genre, others beware.<br /><br />*1/2 out of **** | 0neg | Formulaic slasher film, only this one features a guy with a knife in his pants. Who? The serial killer, naturally - he'll cut a loose screw out of the dead guy's head to be his trophy, and then he'll drop his axe-throwing girlfriend off to clean up after him. She'll call the cops to his house, they'll surround it and t... | Formulaic slasher film, only this time with a twist: there's just one killer, but six characters. This gimmick, though, makes the movie less than satisfying as everything is too contrived and predictable.<br /><br />The direction is lackluster throughout. The violence on the other hand isn't as outlandish as it could h... | Formulaic slasher film, only this time the killer's after college frat boys. This was a very popular type of film during the late seventies and was copied by a lot of films (even "Friday the 13th" has many of the same elements. Lots of gore effects (that look really cheesy today), a lot of nudity, and not a lot of tens... | Formulaic slasher film, only this one's just a bit different. It takes a number of familiar horror movie elements (the victim who doesn't seem to know what's happening) and twists them around a bit (the man who's being persecuted but refuses to fight back until the very end).<br /><br />Although there's a plot twist in... | Formulaic slasher film, only this time it's set in the South instead of northern Manhattan. The premise is nothing new -- a bunch of people who look and act nothing like people who live in the South are vacationing in the deep South and are brutally killed by a maniac who thinks he's a chicken. Of course, things aren't... | Formulaic slasher film, only this one actually pays attention to its audience. Not only is it obvious from the very beginning who is going to die in the end but the way the deaths are executed make it a more effective movie. Not one but four teens from a local art high school are off to a party when a man dressed in bl... | Formulaic slasher film, only this time involving a cast of young American "stars" on vacation in Europe, getting offed in various gruesome yet pointless ways by a "Killer" dressed up in a silly looking top hat.<br /><br />There is nothing special here except the cast in which we find Karen Kopins, Lycia Hester, and a s... | Formulaic slasher film, only this time involving a killer in a clown mask. The first two thirds are very predictable and the film has a terrible ending. A big disappointment for me. For a very similar slasher movie watch Prom Night (1980) though the film is actually about a babysitter and not a film school student. Bot... |
Is it a poorly acted, cliche-ridden pile of trash? Of course. Anyone who doesn't realize that when they pick up the box in the video store probably doesn't have any right judging movies in the first place.

The answer to both is yes. I will admit, when I first heard the movie was being made, I thought it would just be a really cheesy and cheesy sc... | Is it a poorly acted, silly melodrama or is it a thought-provoking, well done movie? I think it could be both. It's about an 192-year old man that gets killed accidentally by a younger man, who can't sleep, out of despair over his wife's death. Or does he kill some else? Anyway the two meet in the afterlife, where they... | Is it a poorly acted, poorly directed, poorly scripted, badly shot turkey...or is it an intentionally silly comedy about two former college roommates...or is it something else entirely?<br /><br />With its intentionally silly dialog, the film never takes itself seriously.

The idea of having a killer that hides among the audience in some movies is interesting, but since this first try, movies that take this path have improved. Since Halloween until this era, movies t... | Is it a poorly acted, bad written love story? It is that, but it is also a very touching little gem. Sure, it is more melodramatic, but it stays just close enough afloat to not be silly or downright bad. One of my favorite parts was during this girl's birthday. She sings at the party, and when she is finished, almost a... | Is it a poorly acted, filmed and directed Italian film or is it a well acted, filmed and directed film based on a true story? The one thing that the director has done with this film is mix the two. If it is a true story then why go the Italian route and not the United States and UK route and have it played out in such ... | Is it a poorly acted, poorly done love story full of bad dialogues and cheesy effects? Of course it is. That's the magic of the movies. It's a low budget movie, and yes it uses CG, but if you watch it with a brain, you realize that the director succeeded in getting something like a big Hollywood-like movie scene (with ... |
'Bloody Birthday' is an odd and, at times, humorous low-budget horror flick along the lines of 'Mikey' or a less intelligent version of 'The Good Son'.<br /><br />Set in a small Californian town, three babies are born at the height of an eclipse, where planetary alignment means they are somehow born without emotions. T... | 0neg | 'Bloody Birthday' is an odd beast to say the least. It isn't really a giallo, but instead a crime comedy with more than a little inspiration for giallos and film noir. It is so quirky and unique that sometimes it can leave you more than a little confused though. The story centers around an English actor named Peter Sel... | 'Bloody Birthday' is an odd little comedy, full of sharp humor and plenty of death, where a homicidal murderer is sent back to the past to kill the children who he believes have destroyed his life. To make it more complicated, he must learn to live with his double so he, and the present, he has come from can go on livi... | 'Bloody Birthday' is an odd mix of horror movie, thriller, and slasher flick. It's a bit of everything rolled into one. In terms of story the movie does a good job of getting you interested in the characters and the events that takes place around them, setting up the film beautifully. It gives it a certain movie feel, ... | 'Bloody Birthday' is an odd film that makes a solid first impression. I enjoyed the opening and was intrigued at how strange the film was but after being captivated by the creepy opening scenes I was disappointed by a rather forgettable plot that I can not seem to remember today. Although, the film does have its high p... | 'Bloody Birthday' is an odd little film, and the story is certainly one that few would have any interest in seeing. I'm not sure what made me put it in my DVD player, but even though it got my attention, it wasn't that much of a good thing.<br /><br />A group of kids are sent to stay with a couple out of town with no o... | 'Bloody Birthday' is an odd movie in that it's just silly, plain stupid fun with no pretensions of being anything more than that. However, this shouldn't stop you from watching the movie if it looks amusing enough on the cover or in the opening credits.<br /><br />I have no idea how this film's director, Chris Alexande... | 'Bloody Birthday' is an odd, but effective horror film.

But what each of them doesn't know is that the murdere... | 'Bloody Birthday' is an oddity. It's a good idea but it feels as if the writer/director (Piers Paul Read) is aware of this, that it's hard to find people with exactly the same taste but still, the movie has that feeling of "here's a movie for everyone." This is a fun movie. I think the more I see it, the funnier it get... |

This film does what it should with it's story and how it plays within adult situations. I saw this not long after renting, then buying the DVD in 1990. My wife was at work and my daughters were at school. We had lunch at our local pub a... | When people say children are easily entertained, I disagree. With movies like 'Dumbo,' 'Peter Pan' and 'Mary Poppins' all out on DVD, what's wrong with a child being entertained by watching their mother reading books?

However, there are some times when children do better with a single parent, and this is one of them.<br /><br />It's not for everyone, if anything, this is mostly for middle-class American children, al... | When people say children are over-sexualized, there are two angles they take: the sexualization of children as a whole culture, and the sexualization of children as individuals; two polar opposite approaches. On the latter, there is ample in American media.

When you make a film with a killer-kids premise, there are two effective ways to approach it; you can either make it as realistic as possible, creating believable characters and situations, or you can make it as fun as possible by playing it for laughs (something which the makers of "Silent Night, Deadly Night" did, fo... | 0neg | When you make a film about ghosts, it's really hard to go wrong. It doesn't help that this is basically a ghost story with the supernatural a few extra steps away, and that the best way to do a ghost story is by just staying on the basics of who's here and how they arrived. Even this one is still very effective, with t... | When you make a film about a gang of petty criminals (or, apparently, a bunch of gang's gang), it is a safe bet to expect lots of mayhem, bloodshed, and action.<br /><br />However, the makers of the film 'Beneath the City' went a step further than I had originally thought.<br /><br />It really wasn't really intended (I... | When you make a film so good that you can repeat it, and get the same response from the public, you've achieved an accomplishment that few filmmakers are able to achieve.

Bloody Birthday is a totally rubbish slasher movie from beginning to end. <br /><br />I found the acting to be pretty good considering the genre of movie and its obvious low budget.

A mean spirited, repulsive horror film about 3 murderous children. Susan Strasberg is totally wasted in a 5-minute cameo, even though she receives star billing.

Few movies have dashed expectations and upset me as much as Fire has. The movie is pretentious garbage. It does not achieve anything at an artistic level. The only thing it managed to receive is a ban in India.

The director's initial idea being to produce an "alchemical work of art" that would have had as its subject the world of the American middle classes in the post-war years. His final product is the film that is closest to being a "non-fictional fiction". The movie... | Few movies have dashed expectations like "In the Bedroom". It should have been nominated for best picture of the year and not lost out to "The Lord of the Ring", but sadly didn't.

An obvious vanity press for Julie in her first movie with Blake. Let's see. Where do we begin. She is a traitor during a world war; she redeems that by falling in love; her friends (who are presumably patriots because they are German citizens) are expendable and must die; and she winds up as a heroine.

DeNiro portrays a mentally challenged and retarded man who is hired to train a new fireman and who gradually overcomes his own sense of inferiority in the process. DeNiro's performance is superbly subtle an... | An obvious vanity press for the lead actor (and wife), this film (released in 1946) had the studio doing a bit of foot-trotting.

Mitchum and producer-director Vincent Minnelli (who also starred in the underrated 1957 film, "Love at the Top") were close friends. It's a shame that Minnelli had to direct this vehicle for Mitch rather than a more substantial, character... | An obvious vanity press for the director of "The Wicker Man" is the only entertainment to be had from this movie.

Blake Edwards tried very hard to change Julie Andrews image in this film. He tried to make her sexy not realizing she already was.

Unfortunately, they chose this ... | 0neg | Blake Edwards tried very hard to make this a great film.

I'm reminded of "FrightNight" in the same regard: you are aware both... | Blake Edwards tried very hard to make this an enjoyable experience at the cinema, sadly he failed.

Julie Andrews satirically prods her own goody-two-shoes image in this overproduced musical comedy-drama, but if she approaches her role with aplomb, she's alone in doing so.

They should have been more understanding, they were being really hard on him, but he ... | I wish I knew what the point of this movie was. As far as comedy goes, it's pretty lame, except the scene with the giant. I thought he would have made a good short film; not the most original one as I have heard others say about this, but, that, on its own, makes it kind of funny. The thing with the white knight was in... | I wish I knew what was in Steven's head when he decided to film this movie, but whatever it was had to have something in common with the world of the book by John Reed.<br /><br />The film opens quite promisingly on a scene set in the US in the year 1916 (the year John Reed came out of Russia). The protagonist of the f... | I wish I knew what was going on in my uncle's head at the time he signed on to do this movie, but I can guess... he wanted to see if he could crack the code.

Alas, another Costner movie that was an hour too long. Credible performances, but the script had no where to go and was in no hurry to get there. First we are offered an unrelated string of events few of which further the story. Will the script center on Randall and his wife? Randall and Fischer? How about Fischer and ... | 0neg | Alas, another Costner movie that failed to meet expectations.

What began as a somewhat interesting look at the difficulties in the life of an Iowa farm boy is rather quickly swept away by poor writing that is neither the usual action adventure nor is it truly a western. It's a littl... | Alas, another Costner movie that doesn't work well. I don't think this was the best fit for Robert Redford but I hope he keeps making films. In this one, he attempts to portray the life and legacy of James Stewart, played to great effect by Brian Bosworth. They share numerous scenes together but it seems like two diffe... | Alas, another Costner movie that attempts to be 'real". At least from the start, you know that one doesn't die from a broken heart, that the South won the war, that your favorite 'boy band' singer is just a boy band singer, that a movie called "Talladega Nights" won't actually happen at Talladega Speedway. For all of i... | Alas, another Costner movie that fails to fulfill the basic standards of cinema. The storyline was interesting enough at first, but as always, too much screen time is given to Costner, and the plot starts to seem more realistic as it goes along. The main faults are that the story is far too predictable, almost all the ... | Alas, another Costner movie that is "inspirational" with little substance. I found this movie to be shallow and rather hokey. I usually don't comment on movies (although I love 'em all) but this one bothered me so much that I felt I had to warn others about this one. Costner's performances in earlier movies such as Dan... | Alas, another Costner movie that's very reminiscent of "Silverado", only this time it's directed by Anthony Mann--what a shame.

Costner is espe... | Alas, another Costner movie that could have been excellent, but alas has to include the typical "good guy" Hollywood cliché of course.

Wow, another Kevin Costner hero movie. Postman, Tin Cup, Waterworld, Bodyguard, Wyatt Earp, Robin Hood, even that baseball movie. Seems like he makes movies specifically to be the center of attention. The characters are almost always the same ... the heroics, the flaws, the greatness, the fall, the redemption. Yup, wit... | 0neg | Wow, another Kevin Costner hero adventure. I was glad to hear the plot was based off real events, and also that the script had a fine pedigree as well.

The whole time I watched the film I really believed that t... | Wow, another Kevin Costner hero story that fails to achieve the magic of his previous masterpiece, Field of Dreams.<br /><br />He plays a retired Major League baseball pitcher in trouble with the IRS, so he begins to teach the sport of baseball to the children of a Native American tribe.<br /><br />The movie is set up ... | Wow, another Kevin Costner hero.

They get in trouble because their dad was killed so they hide all the money h... | Wow, another Kevin Costner hero fantasy. Unfortunately I didn't find this movie to be as gripping as the earlier "Dances with Wolves'". While I think it has some appeal to people of a certain age (such as ourselves), people born too late to appreciate the events, are probably going to find this a little dull.<br /><br ... | Wow, another Kevin Costner hero saga to look back at and see the things he's capable of. This film is no exception as he plays the role of John Custer, the infamous buffalo hunter killed in a hunting accident at the hands of a Blackfoot Indian in his early 20's in the mid 1800's.

I also bought the Michael Myers collect... | It seems ever since 1982, this film has left me with the worst feeling of any movie I have ever seen. Even as I write this, my heart is still racing watching it all over again. This film had the same impact on me that Frank Miller's The Dark Knight comics had on the Batman fans when I was little.

I loved the Who's first film in '68 as well as 'Hair' in '79, but I'm afraid that the 80's would be the decade which would bring forth the most disappointing releases ab... | It seems ever since 1982, that everyone has complained that the TV shows based on a beloved movie were not good. This film was made two years after the movie and it's one of the best. This is the best of the "Scooby-Doo" series. It's much closer to the style of the original show, which was based on a beloved comic stri... | It seems ever since 1982, the best films for my family are made by the Brothers Corleone! Not that the Godfathers were bad films (I still would put them in my personal top five of all time, but they just don't thrill me the way these two films do). I never imagined to what extent these films have come out, or what a su... | It seems ever since 1982, Hollywood had set a standard to knock off John Carpenter's movies with their own imitations. Some movies do very good imitation of Halloween. This movie isn't one of these, rather it's imitation at its best!! The setting for the movie is in the 90's, but the story takes place all within 2 hour... | It seems ever since 1982, Hollywood has had a morbid fascination with a lot of things. You are reminded again of the whole genre of films like `Poltergeist,' `Don't Look in the Basement,' (the remake) `Nightmare on Elm Street,' and the list goes on and on: `The Amityville Horror,' `The Exorcist,' `The Changeling.'

This is a pale imitation of 'Officer and a Gentleman.' There is NO chemistry between Kutcher and the unknown woman who plays his love interest. The dialog is wooden, the situations hackneyed. It's too long and the climax is anti-climactic(!). I love the USCG, its men and women are fearless and tough. The action scenes ... | 0neg | This is a pale imitation of the great "Ossessione", but still a very effective film, full of tension.

This is the only way to achieve that kind of effe... | This is a pale imitation of the first 1976 original. Though the acting isn't as bad, the plot certainly is.<br /><br />First off, there is absolutely no build-up for the "bad people". The first one was great in that respect. It was very suspenseful. This one was not. You know from early on who the bad people are, and t... | This is a pale imitation of "Hogan's Heroes". It was made for British TV, but has been repeated here on daytime TV.

the usual disclaimer - I do not give 1 star ratings to movies which are harmless, bad, low budget and silly, although they may deserve it.

I am a big fan of bad horrors, cheap horrors, b movies, and all that bottom 100 movies, and I do not deny those are the worst stuff ever to enter the big screen, or even your home video for that matter.

I've seen Gary Cooper, James Stewart, Randolph Scott and Jimmy Stewart in the old we... | I am a big fan of silent films and came to enjoy the silent horror films of the 1930s and later, but there is something that always struck me as the weakness of a silent film. It's hard to create something that is truly scary in the absence of the usual frights from loud noises and screaming voices. Orson Welles used t... | I am a big fan of this little guy since the "I" word came out. What a fantastic and original movie.

It had a nice story line, and was very well acted and put together. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the Sci-fi genre. The movie is a little cheesy and corny, but it is very entertaining and not at all borin... | I saw this on Mystery Science Theater 3K and while it was pretty bad at first, I have to say, it was enjoyable.

Ah, such an original title for a very shoddy film. The dubbing is hilarious since the voices and mouths never seem to match. As a result, I had no idea what was going on as I watched this mess unfold. There are flashbacks within the flashbacks and no real time takes place until towards the very end. The Aztec ceremony ... | 0neg | Ah, such an original title... But, let me assure you that this movie is NOT! This is a standard horror film for most people. But, like many horror flicks, its main point is to disturb and try to get our senses riled up. It achieves these means. But that's also were it fails for me. It seems to be a combination of films... | Ah, such an original title. I watched this film before I saw the 1980 version, with Robert De Niro and it's a lot better. It's not an average action movie. It's a very good one indeed. An interesting twist in the main characters. It's not a James Bond, not an Indiana Jones, instead it has a more down to earth feel to i... | Ah, such an original title for this lowly flick!

You just know, when you see it , that you'll be in for another typical low-budget SciFi Channel TV movie. I just can't for the life of me figure out why SciFi continues to pump these out, but they sure do keep rolling. It's kind of like the old joke, that the way you can tell that an indepen... | Ah, such an original title: The Last Wave. This one comes from the genius mind of director Peter Weir.

After I've watched his movies my opinion had to go: "I... | Ah, such an original title - "The Screaming Skull".

No, alas, it's none of these. "The Screaming Skull" was in ... |
2/3 of this movie is recycled footage of the previous movies, a fact that's sadly obvious even to someone like myself who hasn't seen the original movies.

The science of the shuttle was explained in easily understandable language wit... | 2/3 of this movie is pretty lame. At the end, though, it all comes together and the whole thing comes together: it was all leading up to the inevitable (and predictable) conclusion. Great ending. The story of these 2 women becoming friends was very touching. This movie was so much better if I could believe in what thes... | 2/3 of this movie is a rather interesting TV series where the audience is supposed to guess what will happen to the characters. However, the last third is actually not that interesting. It's a lot more violent and bloodier than the rest of the movie. Also, the movie, which, according to the original title is supposed t... | 2/3 of this movie is absolutely hilarious. The jokes are easy enough to be understood by young teens and the jokes are hilarious.<br /><br />The rest of the movie is okay to watch. You don't get much plot, but its really short.<br /><br />See this for a great date movie or with friends to lighten the mood. |
The first 2/3 of this film wasn't that dissimilar to the American mummy films of the 30s and 40s. Two lovers in ancient Mexico dared to defy the law and were doomed to die.

And the lady was reincarnated in the present day and the... | 0neg | The first 2/3 of this movie are fantastic. The actors are brilliant and the story flows right along.

I've seen it several times and every time I've watched it, I was happy that I didn't rent a sequel to some other movie but instead went for this one in the rental store. The idea, the plot is brilliant. The actors are quite good as well. Not sure about D... | The first 2/3 of this film are very good and the way they do the first part is by letting you know how much of the back story is going to be told to you, what sort of events have happened in the characters lives prior to the unfolding story. I felt this was a very fresh approach to a film about memory, although the sto... | The first 2/3 of this film are the best parts of the film, with a nice story of a man learning more about the world and himself, with a simple and sweet ending that brings tears to your eyes. Then there are the last 1/3 when the film goes down the toilet: it is obvious this is the director trying to squeeze a 2 hour fi... | The first 2/3 of this "film" is a documentary--the only film footage is the last 15 minutes of it, and that footage is interlaced with documentary footage of the "filmmaker's" travels. It is not difficult to tell when this happens, and the film is made in such a way that you're able to take the narrative of the fiction... | The first 2/3 of this film is just a great "character study" of a guy doing an intense week of meditation.

Maybe there is, but maybe not...it depends on you, not some "... |
Following the pleasingly atmospheric original and the amusingly silly second one, this incredibly dull, slow, and uneventful sequel comes across as a major letdown.

With the dialogue in the dubbed version of this film, I don't think that Shakespeare is in any great danger. This is the story of an ancient Aztec mummy who has been disenfranchised.

The Robot vs. the Aztec Mummy was one of the silliest and least believable films I've ever seen.

Just about everything about it is dated. It has a good premise which was just ahead of its time; but when the time for action arrived, it was mostly just bad guy meets good... | The Robot vs. the Aztec Warrior is one of those late 80s movies, that I remember fondly. It's kind of like The Terminator, minus the killing. In fact, it's almost a spoof of The Terminator. It's one of those B movies that just makes you smile through and through. It's not for everyone, but, if you like movies like this... | The Robot vs. the Aztec Warlord (1975) is a great sword and sorcery movie from John Soister's American International Studios.

I'm not sure about the message of hope, death, and the idea of how we can live again or find the memories again but I think these are all important questions.

To be honest, my expectations were high and I was not disappointed.

"Fool for Love" is one of the several now forgotten films Robert Altman directed throughout the 1980s.

One of... | What a bad movie, the first movie I've not seen in 15 years and I can remember how bad it is with details.<br /><br />It is so silly, unbelievable, and it seems to be a movie from 10 years ago when all the movies were made at a cheap budget.<br /><br />The story is a little bit interesting, some scenes are funny. I rec... | What a bad movie, the ending was the best part of it, then of course "They all lie to you, but you can't be with them if they won't lie about it." I got the movie for free at the flea market, with 2 movies for $20. A 16 year old girl plays a 16 year old girl, and is supposed to be a teacher? And when she got that shot ... | What a bad movie, the only things that are entertaining are the nudity from Tiffani Thompson and that's about it! This movie is about as good as American pie, and I can say that some of the other comments should only be believed by people that are 26years old and have a good appreciation for American Pie. All the other... |
Well where do we start, there was a lot of potential for this film with such big stars playing a role. But the whole story was ruined by a horrific plot. This movie did not pan out to be what i would expect, the good guy makes it out alive, i mean co mon nobody wants the good guy to be successful. The ending was cringe... | 0neg | Well where do we start, perhaps with the fact that this film was a box office flop for which people are still scratching their heads, or that it was a TV Pilot, that was never expanded upon. Let me just say that from the moment I saw this film I knew what a gem it was and it still is nearly twenty years on. This is the... | Well where do we start, this is a great film and should be better known. It's a story about a young guy who is obsessed with cars. He decides to build a car of his own and is willing to sacrifice pretty much everything to see it through. It's an amazing film on many levels, the storyline is excellent and the way it exp... | Well where do we start, this is one of the great movies of the 80's, an absolute cult movie, and one of the great love stories ever. The music is great, the humour is all the way through, and the acting is superb. Any way, this the best of the 80's movies, it's a sad shame that they get all the money. And by the way if... | Well where do we start, how a do we start, I haven't seen a film as scary since I saw Exorcist I, my friend said it was going to be a good horror, but boy was i wrong, every scene in horror and i am saying all of them was bad, I mean it tried to be a copy of The Blair Witch, and it was and it tries to be a copy of what... | Well where do we start, I loved the idea, I loved the concept and the characters were all well done.<br /><br />The acting was great and the story line was pretty good as well, but it started heading for the 'so bad it's good' way.<br /><br />If you don't know who the killer is you wont want to stop watching because yo... | Well where do we start, well if you ask me they should be embarrassed with this film. Basically this is an amateur's version of the Blair Witch Project only without the same level of technology. However the major problem with this film is that it lacks any kind of coherent story line or any form of entertainment value,... | Well where do we start, the plot just does not begin to describe the utter shambles that is Vampires. I guess from everything else released at the time the film makers thought it was a good idea to throw in some vampires. The storyline is absolutely rubbish, and doesn't even compare to anything from the horror genre th... | Well where do we start, this just has got to be my favorite episode of any of the series, I have to say at least this was the best one ever.<br /><br />We start off with the episode taking place 90 years prior to the other episodes, we see that Kirk is now commanding the Excelsior and Spock has left the ship, now it is... |
Armored<br /><br />The best part about driving an armored vehicle is that if any bums approach you at a red light asking for money, you can shoot them in the face.<br /><br />And while the armoured guards in this thriller aren't using their protective power to purge the drifter population, they are using their position... | 0neg | Armored<br /><br />The best part of this film, in fact, probably the only reason anyone would ever go to see it, is the awesome tank fight. There are times (especially in the second half) when this film is reminiscent of Enemy at the Gates, since both films star Jason Scott Lee, but this really is better than that.<br ... | Armored<br /><br />The best part about this film is it's low budget. That makes this film an adventure. It's not a comedy. This film has a few humorous parts but it does not give you a smile. Also, the sound is a 50/50 mix of background noises mixed with dialogue. However, the dialogue is very hard to understand in par... | Armored<br /><br />The best part of this story is, of all the characters in the film, we are led to believe that the two women have perhaps the closest chemistry of any pair of men and women in a film. However their chemistry is never exploited at all for erotic purposes. This takes guts if you ask me and is what makes... | Armored<br /><br />The best part of this film is that it is, in fact, an action film. However, there is still room to improve on its main plot. The movie is also short(only an hour and a half)making it less of a chore to watch. With the right pacing and a few extra additions, this film would be excellent. | Armored<br /><br />The best part of the film is finding out that the director was not only a veteran of the conflict in Bosnia, but as a combat pilot in the US Navy. This makes sense. The story never jumps the shark the way many of the movies on the subject will, and you can always expect something surprising. It is a ... | Armored<br /><br />The best part of this movie was when it made me feel sick to my stomach. The story was a joke and it doesn't get much better once that's out of the way.<br /><br />One of the bad things (I guess that's what you'd call it) about the film is the fact that they're was no action. The story in one way or ... | Armored<br /><br />The best part of Armored is the first quarter of it, with its wonderful, overdone 80's techno, it's good use of shadows, and the wonderful character development.<br /><br />This is also a film that has a lot of things going for it. It stars John Lithgow (of Largo Winslet fame) and a fine cast of char... | Armored<br /><br />The best part of this film is it's title. It is not a story and not a good thriller. If you want some fun and want to get excited, there are other things to watch. This is nothing but a film in which a car is being chased by an army tank and it is not thrilling or fun. There are three heroes and none... |
This looks so good on paper - Matt Damon, Lawrence Fishbourne, Jean Reno, nice right?

I got 20/20 for this film, it is excellent, well told, well done, ... | This looks so good on paper. A great ensemble team including some of my favorite actors working together on a period drama. So that's fine, but there's also a huge load of expectations based on reviews. So, before we start (and I'm not going to give away too much about the plot), you know how everyone's expecting great... | This looks so good on paper but once you've seen the original you are set for a very different viewing experience. And that is the real reason why people love this movie so much.<br /><br />In the original, you have a great character in Jack Palance, the perfect character actor. You have excellent performances from Lee... | This looks so good on paper. Four great actors. Three really good scripts. Good director. That would probably guarantee me a hit for any romantic comedy, but unfortunately not this one. I'm sorry to say the chemistry in the three on screen romances fail in every scene. I'm not quite sure how this happened but all three... | This looks so good on paper. This movie has top notch actors, a great idea, an excellent storyline, and an interesting and intriguing plot that is sure to be enjoyable. But when this movie was on TV, I watched it without paying a bit of attention. It was just another movie on TV, only one I saw once. That is probably w... | This looks so good on paper, I can't understand as to why a film like this never really got off the ground. It is really interesting to see, perhaps more than ever, how these four great actors (particularly the three principals) work off of each other so well in this comedy-drama that is really a very fine film noir. I... | This looks so good on many levels, because there's so much more going on - and all of it matters to the story - than in a typical musical. There's a sense of the story's time and place, good acting by the leads and fine songs that move the story along. Not a typical "let's get through the whole story this time in two h... | This looks so good on DVD you have to see it, at least try.<br /><br />It's a 70's style exploitation that pays homage to many aspects of the early 50's pulp stories.<br /><br />The film contains excellent performances by many talented actors who are able to create the needed drama just to help move the story along. A ... |
This movie, despite its list of B, C, and D list celebs, is a complete waste of 90 minutes. The plot, with its few peaks, was very predictable. It was so silly that I cannot believe that I am taking the time to even write a review of it. Flex, to his credit, has grown in his ability to act since playing Michael Jackson... | 0neg | This movie, despite its list of great talent, is almost as much an afterthought as a typical episode of Bonanza. It is pretty much just a short TV special without real continuity to the plot, though it does seem rather odd that the same character who did so much to endear to the public the character of "Duke" as a "sus... | This movie, despite its list of awards, is not worth your time. I'm glad the academy made another award category for editing. This film, aside from the editing, had absolutely nothing to offer. If you aren't studying film-making just skip this one. | This movie, despite its list of "actors", is as fun to watch as a train wreck. It is so painfully bad it is actually very funny to watch. It is, without a doubt, the funniest show I've ever seen on cable.Tylo Voekler as the lead really delivers, and even his girlfriend, from the moment we meet her, is a little bizarre,... | This movie, despite its listless production, had an impact on those of us that were watching the scene unfold, which in retrospect, still holds. It was a great film, the story line complex, and even the "clenching" was more "real" than I had ever experienced at that point in my adult life. I will not give away how the ... | This movie, despite its list of major stars in roles that did not require major acting ability, was one of my favorite movies as a child. It was so refreshing to find a movie with a plot line and some action in it rather than that typical children's film of the time that has not aged well at all. The children who came ... | This movie, despite its list of notables in its cast - Meryl Streep, Donald Sutherland, and John Cusack - is unwatchable, at least for me. It did not keep my attention from beginning to the end. The basic storyline - a woman with Down Syndrome goes into the world on her own - could have been quite engaging. The movie t... | This movie, despite its list of famous actors, is pure cheese, and it's not a good one. It's not so bad that it's good, it's just bad. It doesn't get a chance to say anything coherent, and it looks cheap. You can see the movie's limitations (budget, pacing) as it goes along. It just meander's along. I like most movies,... | This movie, despite its list of familiar faces, is in fact one of the worst movies I have ever seen. <br /><br />This movie's plot is weak and convoluted. I can't remember what it is about because I have forgotten the plot but I do know that there was nothing at the end that was worth the two-and-a-half hours for peopl... |
I was at Wrestlemania VI in Toronto as a 10 year old, and the event I saw then was pretty different from what I saw on the Wrestlemania Collection DVD I just watched. I don't understand how the wwE doesn't have the rights to some of the old music, since most of those songs were created by the WWF they shouldn't have to... | 0neg | I was at Wrestlemania VI. I got in. The tickets were cheap. The people I saw in the crowd were a bit younger than my normal crowd. And Wrestlemania V was the night before Wrestlemania I-VI.

I was ... | I was at Wrestlemania VI (1980) where the original Iron Man was debuted, and I remember looking up at the television to watch The Kid play a piano. Being a die hard martial artist at that time, I enjoyed watching anyone who could put out the action so I never really had any qualms with the idea that WWE could mix up ma... | I was at Wrestlemania VI during the beginning of the WWF and Smackdown TV. I was lucky enough too have a friend from my hometown. I didn't know him growing up. I had only attended 8th grade when the WWF came to town.

Just watched on UbuWeb this early experimental short film directed by William Vance and Orson Welles. Yes, you read that right, Orson Welles! Years before he gained fame for radio's "The War of the Worlds" and his feature debut Citizen Kane, Welles was a 19-year-old just finding his muse. Besides Vance and Welles, anot... | 0neg | Just watched on UbuWeb this film of 1925, which was very surprising, not just because of its age, but because it was ahead of its time. This was probably the first time a filmmaker gave a central position to a "woman character". Her name is "Anna" and she's a whore living in a poor European town, working in a small bro... | Just watched on UbuWeb this film from 1975 called Video Out. Basically as an animation film it takes place in a hotel room where people are engaged in sex and other activities. These are presented in a sort of cartoon graphic (this was the time of the first computers so this was cutting-edge technical stuff at the time... | Just watched on UbuWeb this film by David Boratansky, The 7 Deadly Passions (1978), which also appeared in the 1998 film anthology "Extremities", which was the subject of a 2000 "Film Movement" festival showing in NYC's Film Society of Lincoln Center, where I now work.<br /><br />The film was originally intended for a ... | Just watched on UbuWeb this film shot in Brazil in 1979 (my country of origin) that deals with the struggle of women in a society that was still dominated by Men. One of the best aspects of the film is to deal with the subject without taking any political stand for being or not a feminist. The director shows different ... | Just watched on UbuWeb this film that was a shocker in its time ,but more interesting nowadays, when you watch the documentary about the director in the bonus section in the DVD. One thing very interesting is that when this film was put in print 8 out of his 9 were murdered, only 1 survived and 3 years later made L'int... | Just watched on UbuWeb this little gem that my mom used to watch before the war - so I thought "why not". 1968, yes I did realize it was not a "true" science fiction movie. But it brought to mind memories of seeing it as a kid, the music that made up much of the action, it was sort of like "Cleopatra - Queen of the Uni... | Just watched on UbuWeb this "documentary"- that's to say, this "true" depiction/ documentation of one of the greatest artists of the 20th Century, the incomparable Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin and his assistant, the great cinematographer Lucien Littlefield, give us an amazing depiction of the creation, from conception to p... | Just watched on UbuWeb this film that I thought would be one of the best in the "Cinéma-Pratique" movement.

When a friend once lambasted me for my first movie (a pretty bad videotaped affair), I argued that I could grow; Orson Welles' first movie, indeed, was even worse.

I've liked Milos Forman's movies since I saw "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "Amadeus" (two big masterpieces), but when I saw "Hair", I kept wondering if this was the same Milos Forman.

I have no idea what went wrong to allow him to become a 'gag me' with his 4 movies se... | I've liked Milos Forman's movies a lot, even though I haven't seen all his films. I would say even if you don't like him you're bound to have seen at least one of his films, especially the award winning, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest" in the 1970's. Many would probably say that is the best movie the great forman has... | I've liked Milos Forman's movies since we first watched them as kids on late night T.V.
