He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.<br /><br />Yes, this is from Nietzsche's Aphorism 146 from "Beyond Good and Evil".

I didn't see this movie as often as a lot of you have, but it is one of the most heart-tugging, intelligent movies I've ever seen in my entire life. I saw it when I was around 5 or 6 years old.

And when you have seen one monster you have seen them all. So it is with this film. You first see the monster, in one of it's most brutal scenes, where it attempts to get a young woman in the back seat of her car, by throwing her boyfriend off his motorcycle. We... | He who fights with monsters ought himself to be a monster too, says one of "Succubus's" lead characters. This quote has quite a different meaning to me. It describes the nature of cult director Bert I. Gordon's career, for he himself was a monster, as so many of his films and his fans seem to forget. But Gordon did hav... | He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster himself. And when you have conquered a monster be careful of what it becomes.

An interesting period picec showing us what was amazing in 1938. Gosh, Ma, a fake accident ring suing for $25,000!!! I guess projected into the 21st century it would amount to a lot of money.

This film appears to be an exposé of the current trend towards globalization and homogenization in the wine industry.

However, for quite a while throughout the film, there is an eerie background noise of static that distracts from the plot, or at least it does for me. However, when this part ended, I realized how great the film was getting. My expectations for this ... | This film appears to be directed either by a child or someone with a very limited attention span.<br /><br />The only thing that keeps going through my mind during this film is, "when will this finally end?". I had a long 94 minutes of my life which I feel stolen. | This film appears to be a 60's film that has been remade several times in the past 40 years, with an ever changing cast. What all the remakes of this film have in common is a message of how much people are not in control of their destiny, and must endure the pain of life. This was a good message, and they all had the n... | This film appears to be an interesting look at the relationship between the 'good' and 'bad' cops. There is this one side of the film, and then there is the other. The story of this film seems very realistic in a way, which is why I am assuming that it is a true story. It seems very realistic to me.<br /><br />The film... |
Did Beavis and Butthead make this movie? It is just that bad. Truly an uneven and unfair portrayal of "bad" vs. "good" in the wine world.

And it isn't about just any type of writing either. It's about the book "Crazy Love", wherein the author (the brilliant and charismatic Mr. ... | As noted in other comments this film ranks as one of the few great movie musicals.

There were so many classic movies that were made where the leading people were out-and- out liars and yet they are made to look good. I never bought into that stuff.

The only thing I can say about it is that a lot of talent went into it. The story is thin... | There were so many classic movies released in 1934 and this one was among the best.

With a little "help" from a song or two - it just gets better. I don't know how a man could just stand there staring at the stars - his heart will always be with the stars. Great story, great music, great cast. This is a true movie classic. | This is one of the best flick I have seen in recent years.

An odd, willfully skewed biopic of Dyan Thomas in which we hear little more than a dozen lines of his poetry.

This film fails on every count. For a start it is pretentious, striving to be "significant" and failing miserably.

Exceptionally silly actioner with braindead leads in a story which would have suited a fill-in issue of Spiderman.

However, it's not exactly a waste of time. Sure, it's silly but it is good for a laugh and has a few good moments. The main thing is that it never takes itself to seriously ... | Exceptionally silly actioner with braindead dialogue, a ridiculously over-the-top plot line and bad acting. I have seen plenty of bad films before but this truly was one of the worst I've ever encountered. The acting was laughable at best, not to mention the laughable 'hero' who never uses cover or uses it for his own ... | Exceptionally silly actioner with braindead gore, which I liked, but which had to be endured to achieve the finale. There are more films about a head being killed, than you can possibly believe. Why is the head a different shape from the body, I wonder.

I just love this junk, so I will forgive them all of the lame acting, corny jokes and stupid plotting. This is one of those movies that comes out at a particular time, which just feels right.

It gives insight to the true nature of evil and what makes good people turn evil.

this is one of the more poorly made movies I've ever seen. One has to take anything by Truffaut seriously; it's not just some B-movie cranked out by hacks.<br /><br />evidently Truffaut couldn't decide whether he was making a noir or a sentimental chick flick. and neither could Deneuve, whose dozen (?) character flip-f... | 0neg | this is one of the best films ever made, it's like a poem, some of the best performances ever, and a plot that is not too complicated. the plot follows three different men on there way to meet to discuss an affair that will change their lives forever.

I'm trying to find something of value here. The best I can muster is that Truffaut wanted to make a movie as tedious, painful, puerile, annoying, illogical, and brainless as the experience of being in love.

The first 1/3 of this movie I loved and thought it was going to be one of Truffaut's best films. I loved the plot where a pen pal marries a man from half way around the world--sight unseen. Especially when this woman turns out to be a fraud and was responsible for the death of the REAL pen pal so she could take her pla... | 0neg | The first 1/3 of this documentary was like a film by Michael Moore and was hilarious and informative. I had to stop watching because I was feeling faint with rage. There were some amazing facts about our government and the drug war and about what the media would do for it...and the money it makes from it. I would have ... | The first 1/3 of this movie was an improvement on previous American Pie films; though I guess they would have to be in that order, you can hardly go back to the original success. Anyway, Eric and Stifler have been moved to the university by the parents of Eric's mum and Stifler's parents. This allows them to expand the... | The first 1/3 of this was fairly watchable but the 2nd 2/3 was horrible! I like the idea of using a real town as the fictional location and the idea of an old film getting released in a modern era. It was just that they stretched the original short 2 1/2 hours or so and it shows.

The plot is weak, and the script isn't a whole lot better. The story, ... | The first 1/3 of this movie (including the title theme song) is absolutely stunning. I watched it more than once because of the scenery and cinematography. But then the movie turns into a typical 1940's war film with all the cliches and conventions.

That said, by the time you get to 5 minutes in the film, the plot turns to unbelievable nonsense. While I've always believed a decently performed fantasy/sci fi film is one t... | The first 1/3 of this film is really boring and tedious (although it does set up the film's plot and introduces some of the characters which would be needed in the 2nd and 3rd 1/3s). The middle 1/3 of it was pretty dull as well, until it picked up a bit towards the end, when it became somewhat interesting to watch (mos... |
François Traffaut's "Mississippi Siren" had an unconvincing plot. The screenplay required too much elasticity in suspension of disbelief. The plot went at a glacial pace. It started off in an interesting setting but soon drifted onto the shoals of melodrama that lacked logic or intelligence.

In a story where the two women who form its main line are lovers there are so many sub plots that even today it is not hard to see the influence of all those ideas, from the feminist theme, via the homo-erotic... | François Traffaut's "Mississippi Siren" had little impact on the French director's career, perhaps because it was not fully developed as an art film: there is not much to learn from it about visual technique, but the work is more interesting to the serious observer of a 1939 French novel (by Claude Tillier) in movie fo... | François Traffaut's "Mississippi Siren" had two things going for it from the start. The fact the production was originally shot in the South and therefore allowed the viewer to enjoy the atmosphere and ambiance of an authentic American town is undeniably great. Having a legendary music legend as the star is also a plus... | François Traffaut's "Mississippi Siren" had an extremely limited cinema release. <br /><br />This film was shot in Black and White (1973) but is available on a double DVD, with all the extras as part of the Traffic Triple Feature: "Mississippi Siren", "Sébastien" (1965) and "Je T'aime Je T'aime Je T'aime" (1974) <br />... | François Traffaut's "Mississippi Siren" had quite a cult following when the VHS and then DVD versions came out. In spite of its popularity, this film still tends to get neglected when it comes to the cinema. Part of this is because it's very low-key, almost a character study. It's also because you won't ever see it aga... | François Traffaut's "Mississippi Siren" had a rather curious pedigree - as the "second feature" of the first "Hollywood 30th Anniversary Movie Festival" - a festival of films that Hollywood did not get to do themselves (such as "La Signora del Bacio", "La Strada", "L'Atore Giovane et Son Divorce", "Ettore Scola's "Copp... |

Such is the case with "The Bride", a low-budget horror film staring the late Michael Fox as the title character. He's the guy who got left at the altar by a chick and took his revenge out on her by getting her to eat her own wed... | What do you do with the kid who has no interest in learning? This movie is a good start. I think children as young as two years old need to see this movie. Children as old as eight years also need to see this movie. The actors do a wonderful job as does the movie director. This movie is very entertaining and should be ... | What do you do with a show from NBC that was cancelled after just one season? First off, you need to go back and try to explain why it was cancelled, not just tell the story.

Starts off with Fulci playing a version of himself, writing down some ideas for how people could die. Followed by a fake-looking cat eating what is presumably a brain. The copy I watched was dubbed in English, which I always hate, but I was particularly disappointed not to get to hear Fulci in his own voice.<br /><br /... | 0neg | Starts off with Fulci playing Jesus. He's very convincing, and looks good in "the robe". But what you get for the rest of the movie, is just a lot of gore. And Fulci seems to try and emulate what other movies already done. And he fails badly. But maybe this was just not my cup of tea... | Starts off with Fulci playing to this movies main strength the violence and gore. Unfortunately there is too much of it and not nearly enough of the plot or the acting to make this movie anything special. The acting in fact is quite embarrassing at times. The script though is alright and is entertaining and moving as t... | Starts off with Fulci playing one of his best games with the camera, the viewer has no idea where any of the stories are going and is left to take in the crazy and yet well done and acted performances (particularly the 'sickening' nurse who is not at all sympathetic which is part of the strength of the film).<br /><br ... | Starts off with Fulci playing a bit of God. Next, it cuts to one of his children being picked up and taken home by a man. Then, we start seeing one of the 5800 people dead bodies. Not that a dead body really matters in my opinion. After the first hour, it's one huge bore. As for the acting, it was good for its time. I ... | Starts off with Fulci playing in a local restaurant as a kid (I think) and the waitress gets jealous of him being all buddy buddy with the singer. The movie then cuts between different characters: a girl gets her heart broken and a gangster kills a cop's family. From then on, things go completely and utterly strange wi... | Starts off with Fulci playing the part of the writer and takes a turn of events when he meets an attractive girl working in a bar while trying to get some fresh air from the oppressive heat of day time. She is the only one Fulci wants in his life and all his ambitions centre around making her his bride and wife. The mo... | Starts off with Fulci playing a game of roulette with a lady at a gambling table. Fulci has rigged the outcome of the game and wins all her money. Next we get a guy named Bucatinsky who works in Fulci's gambling emporium and steals 1 million that the guy was going to return to his gambling casino. Of course we do NOT w... | Starts off with Fulci playing a very sexy Japanese guy, with long hair. But the rest of the actors are unknown to me. They are mostly Asian, as they try to get as many Japs as they can into these movies so they can appeal to the Asian market. So they are more of a curiosity, and none really stands out to my surprise. T... |
Mr. Bean is just a bunch of unfunny slapstick humour. It is the most shallow humour TV series ever made in history. The scenes are often disgusting and the horrible canned laughter sends chills through the spine. Mr. bean is a selfish and rude character and one can only sympathies how pathetic he is. It is incredible t... | 0neg | Mr. Bean is just a typical person. We all can identify with him.

His whole life is about inventions, he is a very strange person with many strange ways to do almost everything and it's obvious (except for those who don't have a good sense of humour). That is just the beginning. After that, I will say little because this... | Mr. Bean is just a typical Mr. Bean film from the classic BBC radio and TV series. Being one of the best loved actors, Rowan Attenborough plays Mr. Bean, a man in his 40's, still living his life just like he did in the 60's. In this Mr. Bean film, he has a new house, his brother, and a job at the airport where he enjoy... | Mr. Bean is just a classic funny series, with a lot of imagination. The character has a lot of likable sides, but the actor playing him has those sides too, and that's why you just can't feel the pain of what he goes through until you've felt it too; or at least until you've watched the series.<br /><br />I've met Mr. ... | Mr. Bean is just a nice guy, and he also suffers as a lot of the world does. He does a lot of his daily lives with no special reasons for doing things, he just does things; like making breakfast (he is not sure what to have, but a sausage links is on his mind) and he does things by mistake too (like the radio); he take... | Mr. Bean is just a simple man who lives in a small English town and works as a small clerk in a small office.<br /><br />Even though his work is quite simple and does not need many skills, Mr. Bean is a person who is not very good. The story starts with him being late and he is already late even though he only had one ... | Mr. Bean is just a wonderful character, the movie is pretty good as well. I really enjoyed the whole movie, from the start to the end. I'm sure anyone who likes Mr. Bean will love this. It reminds me of the 1990s, from it's cars to the clothes.<br /><br />The only problem I had with this, is the voice. I'm not usually ... | Mr. Bean is just a very strange guy. If you like strange characters and people, then this is definitely a movie for you. Mr. Bean is not a funny guy as such.

This one kind of is like an earlier movie from 1987 "Masters of the Universe" based on the cartoon "He-man". Basically, you have a great old world and they for some reason have to have nearly all the action of the movie take place on modern earth. Well I guess it is not so modern earth now and that it is an ancient wor... | 0neg | This one kind of is to blame on everyone. First the actor's.

I'm only 12 but if it ever comes on TV I'm watching it. But besides him I think it ju... | This one kind of is hard to rate, because it's not quite as good as the original film, but not exactly awful either.<br /><br />The "plot" to this one is basically a bunch of high school students who use a certain remote and all of its power gets unleashed on them. They have only 3 weeks to find out ways to get the pow... | This one kind of is a movie not to mess with, as it is not for the faint of heart or the people who are afraid of guns. One kind of one of the last of the westerns of the 1930s. In a time of gangsters where you have to deal with crooks, this movie has it all. Gangsters, guns, and great acting. A great film for any west... | This one kind of is a mix of movies like `Death at a Funeral' and 'House of Games." The whole film is like a murder mystery, and it is one murder mystery solved with the help of a psychologist. But instead of the usual detective trying to crack the case, a psychologist is called in to help solve a seemingly unsolvable ... | This one kind of is one of those films that would work best on AMC or Showtime. A great concept, really creative and fun to watch. Sure some have seen better directing and some have seen better writing, but all together they make for a great B-Movie. | This one kind of is good. But not really. It has lots of laughs. It is full of twists and turns. It has a good story line. It is not realistic, and if the movie was made today, it would be very overacted. But if the movie was made in 1957, you see how realistic they were back then. This movie is one of those old school... | This one kind of is a bit odd compared to what else the guy did. All the other movies I have seen that he made, have been very funny. This one does not have the same great comedic jokes that some of his other films have, but still has a lot of laughs. Don't take it as a bad thing that the jokes aren't as good, its stil... | This one kind of is the exact opposite of "Coyote Ugly" with a twist. At that point I saw Ugly just as a softcore sex comedy and I thought nothing special. "The Babysitter" took the opposite approach. It turned sex comedy on its head and gave this softcore film an entire new meaning.<br /><br />We get a young babysitte... |

I love the first and third Beastmasters, but this one was an abomination. It was almost as horrible as 'The Never Ending Story 3', for the same reasons.

What a laughable movie. It's a shame to see talent like John Cusack and Eddie Murphy wasted in such a brainless drivel and an insult to anyone who has ever known heartache. The premise was not only implausible but ludicrous. It's not as though ... | Truly flatulent script, and I mean that in every line: not a lot of imagination required, and the lines were so clichéd I was cringing.

This is the greatest example I can think of to prove the theory that when Hollywood runs out of good ideas, they make an awful sequel and ruin the first one.

As other reviewers have noted, this movie is a cross between (i.e. stolen from) stories we have seen before. Specifically, this looks like Clint Eastwood in High Plains Drifter inserted into Mad Max. Remove Clint's cigar, and replace with a cigarette; remove his horse and give him a high-tech motorcycle, and voilà, an ... | 0neg | As other reviewers have noted, most of the films shown at the 2007 Chicago International Film Festival are available on DVD.

I didn't find the two characters to be very typical either, although there may very well be a basis for them based on some of the characters encountered ... | As other reviewers have noted, this movie is definitely a sleeper, though I'm not surprised, considering its budget. I can remember one or two scenes when I thought, "this movie is really taking off!" But I still liked it. It has a nice pace, a few humorous bits, and a story that is interesting and believable. <br /><b... | As other reviewers have noted, although the film is not perfect, it remains a very fine and highly regarded period film from this studio. I was a huge fan of the TV series and look forward to this release for the DVD. The movie is definitely worth watching and the TV series was exceptional. I enjoyed the acting and the... | As other reviewers have noted, much of what happens before the film picks up real momentum is due to character development and understanding of the relationships. When it does, the film is indeed stunning--all that is promised will be delivered in the end by the characters and the filmmaker. The final scenes, while pai... | As other reviewers have noted, this is a typical Ealing comedy (the director is the same chap as responsible for "Kind Hearts And Coronets"). The plot has the usual English eccentricities, a little bit of the surreal, and plenty of laughs. But the biggest laughs are in the last few minutes when Powell and Pressburger t... | As other reviewers have noted, this was an innovative and intriguing movie about the Nazi death camp experiments at Dachau for infecting unsuspecting slave laborers with tuberculosis. Based on this experiment, scientists found a way to make infected individuals non-contagious after they had been given a high dose of ra... | As other reviewers have noted, this film is very different from any of the better known films about the Boer War. It focuses very much on one man: Harry. He is a minor character in earlier films about the war. This film looks at him and follows him through the war, and through the psychological impact of his experience... |
If you take the films, Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome, and the movie Steel Dawn with Patrick Swayze, you will have a pretty good idea what the film is about.

The bad points mainly have to do with certain details that are never quite clear. To do with that I would not call this film a great film (I'm using this vague term because I'm sure it will ... | If you take the films, of the 1930s, for what they are, then what I have said above may not apply so directly; but then the 'social' relevance of a film is only meaningful, if one accepts the moral structure of a particular era.

The movie is a fast paced tale of revenge, action, suspense, slapstick comedy, and good old fashioned love. If you can name another movie that touches on all ... | I say "flick" because this movie has all the trappings of a movie about life on the street but it ends with a happy ending. And that fact alone makes it different from anything that comes to mind, either that it's a happy ending, or that's a rarity of a happy ending. (This does have a happy ending, just not of the "it ... | I say "flick" because this movie is about 150 minutes long, and 149 1/2 of them are dedicated to the title song of the film.

As I watched on a DVD without extras, I sometimes had the thought that I would love to see what else there was to know about it. Unfortunately, the DVD is no longer available.<br... | I say "flick" because this was filmed on 16mm in 16 days.

Yes my kids really liked it more than their own parents did, but it still came ... | First of all, let me just say that I am a HUGE fan of the original and a HUGE fan of the play.

The Man with the Golden Arm (the movie) is a decent career vehicle for Frank Sinatra, but fails abysmally as a good adaptation of a fantastic book.

At last - nearly 24 years after first seeing it on cinema - I can see it in it's origin... | The Man with the Golden Arm is one of the best of the early film noirs, though the film's genre identity is often uncertain.

Despite the fact that this was a Made-For-TV movie (and an obvious one at that: ie., cheap looking), CLASS WARFARE left me wishing I could get my money back, and considering this lame production was partially funded through Canadian dollars, I might just be entitled.<br /><br />What made me sit through it in the first ... | 0neg | Despite the fact that this is a film that is still shown now to many groups like the Army and Marines, even this year I have been able to view it, I think it's a shame that it hasn't been widely seen.

It features a cast that includes William Dafoe (of the Tarantino films and the Spiderman films), Ed Harris (of the Academy Award winning Apollo... | Despite the fact that this film is based on the classic book in children's literature, parents who take the kids to this film can probably expect to be disappointed. Despite it's PG-13 label, there is nothing in this film to be concerned with, but the content is quite childish, so you know this film will be a disappoin... | Despite the fact that this is a very long film and it is at least 50% dialogue scenes, it keeps the viewer constantly interested and not able to take their eyes off the screen. The whole story is very engaging. The acting of Sean Connery, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Ned Beatty, and Ronny Cox is excellent. It's a pity ... | Despite the fact that this is a comedy, it is also true that in spite of its light hearted tone it does deal with quite serious emotions.

When the film opens it is very clear that this is a poor famil... | Despite the fact that this is a remake of a 1999 Italian film, "The Beach" by Steven Soderbergh, the remake has a completely different and more mature story to it. And the direction of the film is fantastic and brings a lot of emotion out of the film that it would have otherwise been lacking. Not only has it captured t... |
I just watched this movie on Bravo! and it was absolutely horrible. It has the plot of a Shannon Tweed movie without the nudity.

It is very well done, with a fine story that will pull at the hearts of everyone. Just by being a Christian, this story is more readily available to me, but most people can appreciate it ... | I just watched this movie again. The dialogue does seem dated, and the "action" scenes over-enthusiastic in their use of special effects. Even so, the film is really quite good.

Clifton Webb is one of my favorites. However, Mister Scoutmaster is not one of his best. His patented curmudgeon role seems forced and even unpleasant rather than funny.

I saw him in action just last week for the first time, on the 'Crazy For Comedy" tour. If you don't like or aren't familiar with Clifton Webb, you've got a lot to miss!! | Clifton Webb is one of the last of the great "stage" actors of the 1930s who was not to transfer himself to the larger screen that was the coming "golden age" of Hollywood. In this film he plays a Shakespearean actor who can only get the small roles by acting like a drunk. He is an actor who does not "act" the role he ... | Clifton Webb is one of the last silent film actors with an incredible resume, a man who worked with some of America's best early directors (Boulier, Seitz,and the always entertaining King Vidor). He is famous for playing in The Cabinet of Caligari, where he is seen as the evil double of the main villain. He appears to ... | Clifton Webb is one of the best actors you will ever see.

His first love, of course, was theat... | Clifton Webb is one of the best things ever written into a movie. But if it were not for Clifton Webb's performance, as a drunk, derelict, alcoholic writer who, in the end, saves the world (safely tucked away in a bottle of alcohol, his brain is on reserve), the movie wouldn't ring true.

The whole p... | As a physicist, talk about the most unbelievable scientific work!!! Well, I really enjoyed this movie but I didn't believe the way they presented the work of Heimlich and some others. They say in the movie "Heimlich made the research that proved these laws". This is not at all. That "proof" was never done by Heimlich. ... | As a physicist, talk about a challenge, this movie takes a subject that is very deep and challenging to the mind and turns it into a "chick-flick" with the basic character played by an incredible actress. The real secret of the success of the movie is the simple fact that the character is very human. We can feel her em... | As a physicist, talk about a low IQ. How can people not understand the difference between reality and fantasy. A good example is the comment by Richard "R" Nelson. He states that there is no way the crew could have known the exact size of the sun. This ignores the well known fact that our sun is an average sized star o... | As a physicist, talk about an overrated movie! My god, I wonder if this is how the "Science of the future" is going to look like: people using 2045 equipment to talk in 1982 New York streets!

You'd hardly know that a year later MGM put Norma Shearer in THE DIVORCEE which glows with MGM technical know how. How far they came in one year. CHENEY is a very stagey early talkie.

I found this early talkie difficult to watch and I'm a Norma Shearer fan! It's not her fault, but the primitive production values of this film would cause any viewer to become bored. 90% of the movie is filmed with "medium shots," and it's very similar to watching a dull play. | 0neg | I found this early talkie to be quite impressive, particularly for the time it was made (1929).

This version is very painful to watch. All of the acting is very stilted but especially that of Norma Shearer who is still acting as though she were in a silent movie instead of a talkie.

I watched this movie only because I was under the impression that I was going to be treated to a cheesy horror flick. I mean, look at the tag line: "They're men turned inside out! And worse... they're still alive!" Does that not scream cheesy horror movie to you? And the then there's the title itself-- "Screamers."

Both men have been in many of my favorite movies and had ... | I watched this movie only because I didn't hear anything about it, but now I'm glad I did. It's a great movie (as long as you have enough time to enjoy it). Although the idea of this movie doesn't sound like a masterpiece, the movie is surprisingly good. This is mostly due to the fine acting by the cast and the perfect... | I watched this movie only because I've been a fan of Meryl Streep. I was intrigued by her performance as a 19th century woman in an abusive, violent situation. It's a terrific film which, in addition to Meryl Streep, features James Belushi in a very sympathetic role, as well as an outstanding supporting role by Ben Gaz... | I watched this movie only because it starred a group of favorite actors, some of whom (notably the actress playing the young girl, and the old couple) do a great job. However, the script is badly overwrought in ways that have spoiled the movie for me. For about 75 minutes, it's very painful to watch; the last 15 or so ... | I watched this movie only to pass the time. I was not even looking for it, but I like horror films.
