Writers and directors, by the nature of their craft, stand back a frame from the action in their work to show insights about characters and situations. Here, Huston and Joyce have stepped back a bigger frame yet to show us the ultimate view of what it means to be human. Until it's very end the movie appears to be about... | 1pos | Writers and directors, by the way, are a lot more alike than I always thought. There was a brief moment in my life at about 10 when this might have turned into a 30 minute TV program. Anyway, the story is of a middle-aged writer (Morgan Freeman) who gets a phone call that a dead guy (Kevin Spacey) wants him to play the... | Writers and directors, by the very nature of what we do, are required to make some rather bizarre choices. After all, if they didn't make decisions that ran contrary to popular opinion, their bodies of work would be quite boring. As such, we are pretty used to making decisions that most people would never make. It has ... | Writers and directors, by the way, is it just me or were there two women in the crew and were they just filming themselves throughout the entire production? I know it sounds weird but the movie was such a stalker of a movie to begin with that just had to find it amusing. All the acting was really good. I felt like I wa... | Writers and directors, by the very time that you have to deal with a subject as serious and sensitive as that of homosexuality, your best bet is to refrain from making it the backbone of your plot, as the mere fact of its treatment in a film will always affect the rest of the story and it is hard to make us get into th... | Writers and directors, by the nature of the work they do, tend to stick to what they know. This means those who know a lot have more room to expand on the canvas than those who know little, and we can be pretty grateful to that as long as they know what they do best. Sam Mendes' direction of 'American Beauty' was one o... | Writers and directors, by the nature of their craft, are often misunderstood, or even rejected. Yet there is almost an innate need for writers and directors to be heard, to be listened to. When they are heard, you often hear the phrase 'I had no idea. I never thought of that. It's amazing.' Writers and directors, after... | Writers and directors, by the same name, wrote and directed this one. The "Wes Craven" has no meaning. Maybe, it was Wes Craven the actor, who was in this film, and wrote and directed it.<br /><br />"A woman is haunted." It's a simple idea for a horror film. To create tension, I thought some of the actors must have tri... | Writers and directors, by the time an hour and a half into your film you're going to have a lot to live up to. If the first hour and a half was good how do they finish off the film? Like "Tigerland," it's still a "What the hell?" as opposed to a "What the hell?" as you're trying to exit the film. Even with this film wi... |
John Huston, actor and director better known for more robust fare such as "The Misfits" and "African Queen," directs his daughter, Angelica Huston, in what would be his last film. Indeed, the film was released after Huston's death. Based on James Joyce's novella of the same name, "The Dead" tells the quiet story of a N... | 1pos | John Huston, actor and director of some of the greatest movies ever made, was the most famous and beloved of the 5 Houstons--brothers and son. Grandson of the man who invented the movie projector and father of a successful journalist and photographer and two men who died on the battlefield and a son who is known by mos... | John Huston, actor and director of The Maltese Falcon, directs this film about a small town cop named Sam Burgade (Salka Viertell), who accidentally kills a local drunk on the way home, while on patrol duty with his partner (Walter Brennan), one day in 1918. The accidental killing results in an investigation of Sam, th... | John Huston, actor and director and son of actor Walter Huston, makes and directed this movie that is a remake of some old films. This film has a twist in the story and plot.<br /><br />'The Return to Cabin by the Lake" is a typical mystery film. The cast is outstanding. Henry Fonda and Debra Fay are the leads of the s... | John Huston, actor and director, is a man of many talents, among them a good choice of films. For me The House on 92nd Street, directed by him, and starring Dana Andrews, has never left my memory. I have seen it over and over again. This great film, a classic to be sure, has the strength of a great Hollywood film even ... | John Huston, actor and director, has created a movie, The Big Sleep, which is an example of a noir movie. For the most part, the characters are not what they seem, or what they were before a certain set of circumstances happens. The audience is caught up in a love-hate relationship with each character. Each character i... | John Huston, actor and director, was best known for his work in movies like "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," "Night of the Huntress" and "The African Queen." But a year later, in 1957, he made one of his best known and most influential films, "The Lady from Shanghai."<br /><br />This film is often hailed as a great ... | John Huston, actor and director of this 1957 film, gave a fine performance in the title role. However, this film is not about him; it is about the fictional character of "The Postman Always Rings Twice." He could certainly make the role work (which he did), but the rest of the cast was not nearly as impressive and left... | John Huston, actor and director, was well known for his involvement in the stage play "The 39th step". He even directed his son Jimmy. This is one of a few of John Huston's films that can be considered a thriller because of its complexity in the storyline. It centers around the main character of the film, Ben Driscoll ... |
This is possibly the most perfect film I have ever seen - in acting, adaptation and direction. It is self-contained and of a kind, so there is no point in saying that it is better or worse than other great films, just that it can stand by itself as a perfect work of art.<br /><br />And it was fun watching confused horr... | 1pos | This is possibly the most underrated film in 2002. With the possible exception of "Holes" this is the very best drama film of the year.<br /><br />This film, adapted (not rewritten, mind you) from David Kelly's best-selling novel is a study of one of most popular TV shows of our generation and the cast and crew who cre... | This is possibly the most important British film made since "Things to Come". Although many great films have been made in Britain, many have failed to be noticed or appreciated. "Insignificance" is one of those.<br /><br />This is because it doesn't fit easily into any one genre and doesn't offer audiences easy answers... | This is possibly the most underrated film made in 50's Italy. At least it got such a fate in the States, where it became a cult movie among horror fans. The atmosphere is superb, the locations haunting and the performances top-notch, particularly from the two leads. There are some amazing images, such as the man lookin... | This is possibly the most horrific film in the world. And that's about the only thing that can be said in its favour.<br /><br />The whole film is made up of nothing but clips of people in agony or dying with the sound track of a voice droning on in morbid, ghoulish language. There are few redeeming features to this fi... | This is possibly the most beautiful comedy TV movie I've ever seen. Beautifully shot, great script and great acting. James Cator was superb as a drunken and unlovable alcoholic and Bill Paterson was hilarious as the ditherhead of an editor. Watch it when you get the opportunity - You won't be disappointed! | This is possibly the most exciting movie about British popular music to be ever made. A film that never seems to get the credit it deserves. I only ever remember two films that cover popular music; Cross-eyed - about music video, and this one.<br /><br />The story is the story of a music journalist, who falls in love w... | This is possibly the most moving films ever made. I have to admit, I cried during every bit from start till end.<br /><br />For those who have not seen this one, I could say there is an enormous difference between the two protagonists. They both have the same problems in life but it comes from two different directions.... | This is possibly the most overrated movie of all time! How is it that this movie is still not one of the all time greats? If anything, I think it's so overrated because it is SO good so that anyone would fall for it!<br /><br />Any person with two braincells should know that it is a sequel... but oh what that's all abo... |
I first saw this film in Austria when it first came out, and I was entranced by it. It is a passionate and deeply moving work that should be experienced by all connoisseurs of motion picture art. What a shame that it has never been released in DVD format. Perhaps one of these days that will be rectified, as it would be... | 1pos | I first saw this film at 10 years old in the early 80's on late night TV back in the USA. It was also the first horror film I had ever seen that had no nudity, and for that reason I liked this better than the Romero Night of the Living Dead.<br /><br />This movie is a good early film that may not have aged as well as o... | I first saw this film in a local cinema at age 10 and, even at that tender age, found it to be one of the best and most entertaining I had ever seen - and still do. The humour is timeless and the script is first-rate.<br /><br />The film also benefits from superb performances from the entire cast and a cast which inclu... | I first saw this film way back in 1999, i really thought it was very funny, and i thought it was brilliant in bringing out that '80's humour which so many people today have forgotten, especially the younger generations, i personally loved all of the film, from the start to the finish, and it was awesome how funny it wa... | I first saw this film at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival.<br /><br />When I saw the name of the director on the screen credits, my first reaction was "Wow! This is actually the same person who directed 2001: A Space Odyssey and Dr. Strangelove"? Well, yes he is! <br /><br />Many of you may remember when St... | I first saw this film on cable TV in the early 1980's. It's almost hard to believe that I remembered it so clearly now after all these years. For me what makes TETRIS SO powerful is the performance of Gary Graham. The man really had a range of emotion that was hard to find in Hollywood actors. He didn't just throw arou... | I first saw this film the year it was made on a TV series, and was quite taken by it. I have never seen it since on the big screen, or on the screen at all actually; it's one of my best-remembered TV shows, and I think it's still very funny. (And the cast made several subsequent TV appearances, e.g. on "Wagon Train", t... | I first saw this film when I was in my mid teens and was drawn to the way the story of Esther and a modern interpretation of Mardi Gras comes together. This is only one of a number of films that I see regularly featuring Goldsworthy's work, including one of his sculptural installations in the Metropolitan Museum of Art... | I first saw this film about 6 years ago on cable but fell on the floor after only about 15 minutes of the film (it was midnight) not being sure if i'd miss it or simply not like it. i managed to get hold of it a few weeks back but i realised that for the first 10 or 20 minutes i was going to have to bear with it as i d... |
A rare exception to the rule that great literature makes disappointing films, John Huston's beautiful farewell to life and the movies is almost entirely true to the narrative and the spirit of James Joyce's short story, a tender meditation on love, death and time expressed in the events of a Twelfth Night party in midd... | 1pos | A rare exception to the usual criticism that "real life" is not like movies, this film takes the premise of its main character and develops it to its absurd but ultimately moving conclusion.<br /><br />This is a film that does not play to the audience's expectations but that is exactly what makes it so touching. A grou... | A rare exception to the dismal list of 3D features is this film, directed by Alexander Mackendrick, who had a long career in British film and television. His films include films with Alec Guiness as well as a "Thin Man" series with William Powell.<br /><br />The story concerns Harry and Laura and their daughter who mov... | A rare exception to the great Hollywood style of the forties, this film is set in the wild, violent world of the Irish Republican Army around the Easter Rising in Ireland. When the IRA take over a big bank, an innocent girl becomes trapped in the fighting, with the army battling against themselves as well as the Britis... | A rare exception to the "no actors" rules of animation goes way beyond the expected, which also goes to show that the lack of stars and their influence on the final product does not equate into a lack of quality. This is a short film from the early 1940's, and like most of the shorts made up the bulk of the cartoon pro... | A rare exception to the usual British comic fare, this film does feature plenty of laughs as the two love competitors take the opportunity to set about making a "hit" out of a popular song. However, the film's charm comes from the depiction of London in the early 1920's, as well as the interplay between the cast member... | A rare exception to the standard Hollywood musical is this delightful movie about a man (Gene Kelly) obsessed with finding dance in everyday life. Though the plot is nothing special, the film's 14 dance routines are enough to make it a winner. Kelly was in great form and the rest of the cast was also excellent.<br /><b... | A rare exception to the usual horror clichés, this Spanish-produced movie is a darkly atmospheric and powerful thriller. It also has a sense of humour: after a gruesome murder, the detective investigates further, only to find a second body. At the same time as wondering who the murderer might be, he wonders 'who did it... | A rare exception to the usual Hollywood "Westerns" is this one. No stars but real characters.<br /><br />It has been criticised for being predictable, it actually isn't. There is plenty of room for surprises and many times in the film where you wonder just who will come out on top. It is very, very believable.<br /><br... |
When Melville's "Pierre; or The Ambiguities" hit bookstores in 1852, his first publication since "Moby Dick" a year earlier, the public response was similar to that found among the IMDB reviews of "POLA X". Newspapers even published headlines like: "Melville Insane!" which, of course, he wasn't. But, when one compares ... | 1pos | When Melville's "Pierre; or The Victim of the Passions" was adapted for the stage many years ago, the director hired in some actors from the real life Melville circle in order to get the feel of the book, including the character of Pierre, a man who is obsessed by both his fear of cats and his affair with the black mis... | When Melville's "Pierre; or The Ambidexter" went on the big screen in 1919 audiences laughed uproariously, but, by today's standards, it has aged poorly. Nevertheless, some have found in "Pierre" the first filmic version of Melville's greatest written work, "Narcissus and Doppelganger", (see the comments of one comment... | When Melville's "Pierre; or The Ambition of Heroisme" came out, the buzz was about Robert Nye. It is hard to believe that director Jules Allen had Nye in mind when he wrote the story. <br /><br />Nye was an experienced actor, probably best known for his screen presence in both Howard Hawks's "Red River" and Stanley Kra... | When Melville's "Pierre; or The Ambiguities" was initially published, it was one of the greatest works to emerge from the 40s, with its deep analysis of American life and the personal and emotional tragedies that befell Melville - the author's story was based on his own life. When it was published in modernized English... | When Melville's "Pierre; or The Ambition of Hero" was first presented to Broadway audiences in 1882, the play received 29 performances within one month, drawing an unbroken string of sold out performances. Critics lauded the power of Melville's dramatic language, the skill exhibited by the cast members and the power of... | When Melville's "Pierre; or The Ambiguity" is finally released later this year, I'll go for my first look at the entire author of the novel, not to mention the only one of his works he ever really set in his native land. What a story that one is, too. Melville based is on a real life ancestor of the author's, a Boston ... | When Melville's "Pierre; or The Ambition of Hero Leroy, Esq." was published in 1883, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow died and Mark Twain made his debut. The public response was mixed. Perhaps to attract new readers, Melville in a promotional advertisement for the novel proclaimed "Pierre is American romance in its highest f... | When Melville's "Pierre; or The Ambiguity" was published, it was considered to be Melville's best novel. Even today, there are many who agree, including myself. Pierre was an introspective character with a dark and brooding personality. The relationship that Melville created between the protagonist and the reader is on... |
At times I really wonder
when I look at the comments here it seems as if most people have seen a completely different film than I have. I've just seen it... and liked it. Not in the way, that it made me happy, but in the way of having seen a good film!<br /><br />The film needs some patience, yes. And yes, the main ch... | 1pos | At times I really wonder why I write comments at all on movies I hate. If a film leaves me feeling sick with distaste, with no redeeming value whatsoever, why do I bother? I don't know. I suppose it's something to do with it being a ritual that I enjoy. Like walking through the doors of a museum I like to think through... | At times I really wonder what passes through people's minds when they talk about their favorite movie. Movies that are really great in every aspect or at least some. Some people like movies because of the effects, the action, the comedy, other people like movies for the cast, the music, the script, the director, the ph... | At times I really wonder about why the Oscars don't hand out to more animated movies these days. They have not really been as good as they used to with more realistic characters and more memorable story lines. Of course movies like The Road to El Dorado, Shrek, and The Emperor's New Groove are great, but this one has t... | At times I really wonder how and when this show began. That may be because of the fact that I'm a fan of the American series of Knight Rider since it premiered during my childhood. But I guess it has also been because I was quite surprised to see this spin-off during it's first season. Knight Rider is not an easy show ... | At times I really wonder how certain people get their stuff released in theaters. Some people are totally devoid of any sense whatsoever. I was never a fan of Van Dammes, and after having been disappointed by his "Entrails" and "Lethal" movies, I expected nothing more than a complete waste of time. Luckily I did not pa... | At times I really wonder as a viewer where the budget for the movie came from, there really is nothing to the plot, acting is not good either, the characters are just stereotypes and the direction was terrible, so a lot of the film you really had to improvise and a lot of the direction was not very clear and sometimes ... | At times I really wonder if I am watching the same movie. While I was very pleasantly surprised that the movie held my interest the majority of the time, at times the plot was very difficult to follow due in large part to the casting of the actors.<br /><br />I did not expect much when I saw the preview. Yet, I expecte... | At times I really wonder whats going on in Hollywood - "Starbuck" was once one of the most successful films of all time, and now its so low on the charts here that I've not seen anyone (and I mean ANYONE!) ever talking about the sequel as being "too far a stretch". If you have any memories whatsoever of 6-1/2 hours of ... |
No one would ever question that director Leos Carax is a genius, but what we wonder about is: is he an insane genius? So many people hated this film! I am normally the first person to accuse many French directors of making offensive, boring, disgusting and pretentious films (such as the horrible recent film 'L'Enfant' ... | 1pos | No one would ever question that William Dieterle was a talented director. In a career spanning 27 years, his name may at times be associated with lesser films, but he always produced at least one major Oscar winner. In this case, he chose to direct one of the most famous film of the period. He was a master of the melod... | No one would ever question that the concept of a movie about two people falling in love and marrying and moving to the big city and leaving all their hometown friends behind is appealing and fresh, which is why you might be surprised when you discover that when the 1872 classic version of SALLY FORSYTHE was filmed in B... | No one would ever question the genius of the late, great John Ford, and certainly none more than myself. However, I do believe he went from making top-class westerns to more of a standard Hollywood fare (and it is more of a problem when people call his Irish-themed work of the 1950's and 1960's westerns). Although "My ... | No one would ever question the depth of any other war movie, so why should Casablanca be any different? This movie is about two people finding each other (a very sweet, passionate story) and a much more important movie. The acting is impeccable, the atmosphere is wonderful and the music fits perfectly. The one thing th... | No one would ever question the brilliance of this little slice of time. The entire ensemble cast is excellent with superb acting and dialogue. The photography is breathtakingly beautiful. This movie is a good companion piece to many of the films made in Hong Kong of the period of the 1950-70s. It brings to mind such fi... | No one would ever question the performance of a top drawer professional such as Richard Attenborough as a professional sportsman - whether he plays at the top level, the middle level or the bottom level. What makes this film so brilliant is that Attenborough plays at all three levels at once, as coach, as a player and ... | No one would ever question if Frank Sinatra had ever made his best movie, nor when you'd ask the director if it was his favorite film you'd want to hear him say his opinion on "From Here To Eternity".<br /><br />The cast is perfect.<br /><br />The setting is perfect.<br /><br />The writing is perfect.<br /><br />The ac... | No one would ever question the value of good TV. A lot of us are guilty of watching a lot of bad TV. However a lot of excellent TV shows go unnoticed and "Lost" is one of them. The best thing about "Lost" is the constant mystery of its plot line. It's one of the first shows that I ever tuned in to which made me feel li... |
This movie starts off somewhat slowly and gets running towards the end. Not that that is bad, it was done to illustrate character trait degression of the main character. Consequently, if you are not into tragedies, this is not your movie. It is the thought provoking philosophy of this movie that makes it worthwhile. If... | 1pos | This movie starts off somewhat slow and the acting is mediocre for such a big budget Hollywood production. Its like you're watching a movie about something that is not really worth watching. However, in the later third the movie picks up a lot a fun. Even if the movie is a little over-exaggerated you have to just sit b... | This movie starts off somewhat interesting, it's a romantic comedy and I personally love those. Then it gets more and more annoying with every scene. I didn't really like the main character, but I did understand how he felt, when he watched his wife being with her lover. But after that his behaviour totally changed and... | This movie starts off somewhat slow but picks up by the time it reaches the half way mark and really gets into a grooving groove after 10 minutes in the car. I think the acting is pretty good for a big summer release type flick. I saw it at a 6pm showing and the audience really seemed to like the film. Many of its grea... | This movie starts off somewhat promising. <br /><br />The acting by the young girls and young boy was quite good. <br /><br />The story line was somewhat interesting and there are some amusing twists and turns. <br /><br />Although the movie has a fairly good running time of 98 minutes, you will think that it was much ... | This movie starts off somewhat confusing. However, it eventually makes sense. What surprised me the most about this movie was the love aspect. In most movies that deal with ghosts this element is often lost or ignored. But I found that in this movie there was more of an emphasis on love and devotion than death and dest... | This movie starts off somewhat cheesy, with its "what's in this drink" jokes, but the movie plays like no other mystery out there, and that goes hand in hand with the movie's ending. This is the kind of mystery movie that the whole family can watch and enjoy.<br /><br />In this one, some criminals (including the late R... | This movie starts off somewhat slow, but eventually picks up. The acting could be somewhat better. The director did a pretty good job. The story line might be a bit of a stretch for some people, the story has some inconsistencies however it was pretty fascinating. This was a pretty good movie for its day and you'll pro... | This movie starts off somewhat interesting, but like most people have said it does become uninteresting in the middle. The story is pretty simple. The plot is also pretty predictable. This is essentially a western, which makes sense due to its setting, but I found myself more interested in the love story between Jesse ... |
Pola X is a beautiful adaption of Herman Melville's 'Pierre; or, the Ambiguities'. The comments on here surprise me, it makes me wonder what has led to the overwhelmingly negative reaction. <br /><br />The shock value is the least appealing thing about this film - a minor detail that has been blown out of proportion. T... | 1pos | Pola X is a beautiful film about a woman with special powers, living an ordinary life in New York.

And it follows a Spanish girl named Pola who has sex with one of her neighbours named Vicenç, and later marries him at the age of 13.<br /><br />Even though the concept might sound funny, the film is well made, in my opinion. Pola X explores s... | Pola X is a beautiful film, very intense, and so, an interesting film. A big film in Europe, a nice experience for a great director, Lelouch. This is a story about two brothers, who go to the movies, to see a film. They never went to see a film before and they are interested, very interested. For them, it's new and ver... | Pola X is a beautiful short film. It follows the theme of 'love across the world' and I will be using it in my own teaching. It is beautifully shot and has a strong and original story. It makes the viewer feel good- and is suitable for adults and children alike. The only 'warning' I give is that the ending is not shown... | Pola X is a beautiful and inspiring film. The story of how a woman was raised in a traditional Chinese family who values only men and is not even allowed to talk to males is simply wonderful.<br /><br />I will admit the first hour is hard work, as you start to learn about Pola's very rigid environment; you might get a ... | Pola X is a beautiful, well constructed film. It's a great film to watch for anyone. It contains a lot of drama. The story doesn't bore you by explaining what is supposed to be going on in long monologues. This film tells how a war of words can lead to violence in your own family. | Pola X is a beautiful film. It's a very simple story with little, simple words, simple situations, and simple feelings. I think that the film gets over the simple feeling of Pola's life with the way things aren't the way they work out. The simple feeling of hope is kept through Pola's life as well. Pola's life is beaut... |

Of course with a ... | I agree with "johnlewis", who commented "what a sad attempt at trying to understand the plight of someone who is not white".

I watched Pola X because Scott Walker composed the film score and I admire his music a lot. Frankly, I expected a somewhat pretentious and possibly incoherent French movie. I was wrong.

But to my surprise, I found an extremely moving story about a life of a very different person, a girl who never got enough credit. She may have been a very well developed individual who, for us watching this film, only ... | I watched Pola X because the title looked like a good idea and because the cast seemed interesting enough.<br /><br />Although it may seem a movie "only for film experts", it can be watched with a normal attention: there's no need for deep knowledge of all sorts of theories and principles of film structure to understan... | I watched Pola X because of Pola X, not because I'm a Gino Corrado fan, which I am. This movie has many elements that makes it unique and a must-see for my collection of old movies.<br /><br />It is a story about a group of people, a sort of "family", who get caught up in a dangerous plot that turns deadly for some of ... | I watched Pola X because of the description on the box. Then after watching an episode I realized I have been watching it for more than 2 seasons, and I'm still looking forward to episodes. It's the best TV show I have ever seen....<br /><br />I always remember the opening theme when I enter the room while TV's on and ... | I watched Pola X because I am a huge Bellocchio fan, but I can honestly say that this film will touch your heart like no other film has done. You will cry, and you will laugh. You may even have a feeling of sadness that won't quite leave you. This film has it's fair share of problems, mostly with character development.... |
Leos Carax has made 3 great movies: Boys Meet Girls, Mauvais Sang, Les Amants du Pont Neuf. In fact those films were not that great but it has the violence of youth, the beauty of juvenile wilderness. Carax in these three movies was well aware of what cinema was, but he tried to make his own vision of the art, without ... | 1pos | Leos Carax has made 3 great movies. Les 400 coups, The l'equipe, and this one, the second that Leos Carax has been directed in English. I have read a review where they stated that Amelie should never be compared with the previous 2 movies and not even consider if an award worthy movie is less successful in English. The... | Leos Carax has made 3 of his best films yet. Each are a little different in style and subject matter, but all three focus on a single character, an aspiring writer, and the love or lack of love he inspires. 'Les fourmis' (translated as 'The Ants') focuses mostly around the man he sees while writing, Léo. The man, who i... | Leos Carax has made 31 movies in more than 30 years and he is one of the most celebrated director and is often mentioned in top film critics. Many of those movies have a weird way of telling a story but its not the weirdness that interests me its the human nature that I often sense from Caraxes characters.<br /><br />T... | Leos Carax has made 3 wonderful and fantastic films that are my absolute favorites. It's really refreshing and surprising that most of my fellow movie fans only talk about two of his brilliant films (i.e. 'Les 400 Coups' and 'Manos Les Main D' or The Lovers on the Bridge', or his films they can relate their favorites t... | Leos Carax has made 3 movies and is famous for writing his names on every actor in the film. He also has a way of making films which I have never seen done before. To me, it is refreshing to have not seen these films yet and to be able to judge them without being influenced by some sort of hype that everyone seems to g... | Leos Carax has made 3 films, so we know the good ol' man ain't too terribly prolific. What we also know is his films are all equally great; Loin du 19eme siecle, then, is a treat from start until finish. It is a French film, about a young boy named Andre, played by Emeric Emmanuelle, who is in love with a schoolteacher... | Leos Carax has made 3 movies about love, not necessarily in the same form but all three dealing with the passion of romantic love. The first, 'The Lovers On TenCental Street', tells the story of two teens, Ismael (Niki) and Marie (Giulia), who fall in love. There's some good work in this, but its not as good as the sto... | Leos Carax has made 3 of the greatest movies of the 20th century, I don't think this is hyperbole.<br /><br />I'd rank this as number 2 for beauty, drama and artistry. The first is his wonderful "L'Equipe". This is about a young girl who is sent to live in the south of the country to learn proper etiquette with the hel... |
Leos Carax is brilliant and is one of the best film and camera guys in the business so it should come as no surprise that Pola X is an almost perfect filming of the most gut wrenching story ever. Seriously.

It's not perfect, of course, but the editing is great and makes you forget about the time passing by. It's a story about three young kids growing up in a suburb of Paris. They are in love with each other and have a ve... | Leos Carax is brilliant and I don't think I'd be exaggerating to call him an artiste of his genre - like Wes Craven and Stanley Kubrick in horror, Orson Welles and Ingmar Bergman at the outset of their careers or later in Antonioni, he stands apart from all of his compatriots. He doesn't follow trend, he isn't forced t... | Leos Carax is brilliant and here is one of the reasons - he knows everything about what the music should be with a film. I am sure he read the script but the score tells a fantastic story with the film itself. I am also fascinated with the dialogue from the script because it shows that everything that goes on is someth... | Leos Carax is brilliant and I recommend any movie he's done, but this is probably the most complex story. At first it is somewhat depressing as Carole is suffering from postpartum psychosis after giving birth to her beloved child. While she is in hospital we learn of her mother's tragic past and the way that she has al... | Leos Carax is brilliant and that is probably one of the most uncharismatic of statements about the great film maker. If you've seen two or three of his films, you'd know right away that Carax is a master of genre and character: his protagonists are always lost in their own worlds, their problems are usually the same, a... | Leos Carax is brilliant and I was moved by the story so much I almost cried. It was based on a book written by a woman who suffers from a mental illness and it was really interesting hearing her point of view. The whole movie was shot with hand held camera which made me feel as though I was watching them on video.<br /... | Leos Carax is brilliant and he brings together a group of characters on a romantic journey to find love.<br /><br />There are characters that seem to be there for comic relief yet they play their role very well.

I've tried to reconcile why so many bad reviews of this film, while the vast majority of reviews are given a rating of between 7 and 10. The reason may be this film is kind of hard to describe in a positive review, although a few have done that quite nicely already. This film is confusing, depressing, and doesn't have ... | 1pos | I've tried to reconcile why we see less of Paulie now than in the 70's, though, when I first saw the movie there was the follow-up movie as well as quite a few others with Paulie in small supporting roles. At the same time Paulie was quite a popular "character" in the TV world as well as in live theater.<br /><br />In ... | I've tried to reconcile why the reviews of this film are so good, but I have to say that my experience with "Dog Days" was very disappointing and I don't think I could ever look at my fellow Greek countrymen in the same way again. <br /><br />First of all, the whole concept behind this movie is rather naive. It simply ... | I've tried to reconcile why I can't stand these things, even with as much time as I've put into them, but I think the ultimate answer is that when you make a movie you're telling a story, and when you make a TV series you're telling several stories and jumping back and forth between plots and characters, and at the end... | I've tried to reconcile why I can enjoy this film so much even if I'm not from Chicago or even a fan of gangster/action films despite some poor action scenes.<br /><br />It seems that in any film you can find something to love, a special and unique aspect that the film has which makes it its own. While some of my frien... | I've tried to reconcile why this film has been so maligned. I am, generally speaking, a pretty liberal person and I would hope that we all take the time to see films like this for what they really are, not what Hollywood (or we may perceive Hollywood) wants us to see.<br /><br />Sure, the 1980s were not a good period f... | I've tried to reconcile why this movie, as some have, has a high average vote, but I don't think I understand how people are viewing it. As another reviewer has pointed out so well, this movie is all about the characters we grow to love, but the main character, Henry, has a very dark side, and he is probably not very p... | I've tried to reconcile why such a great many people seem to consider "To Kill a Mockingbird" to be the greatest novel, and in most of them, the best movie of all time, and yet it's often considered that the movie doesn't do the source novel justice.<br /><br />First, what makes a great book, on screen or off? I think ... | I've tried to reconcile why this movie wasn't a larger box office hit: Maybe it wasn't released in time and the box office momentum was lost. Maybe it was a "who's who in Hollywood" movie and Hollywood doesn't like to showcase other filmmakers without some connection to Hollywood. Maybe it was a victim if the 'cusp' of... |

I am not sure myself, perhaps an allegory about the passing of youth through the ey... | This is not a film I watch. It is a film I enjoy. With this much enjoyment for the film it was easy to accept that the cast is comprised of many young stars of yesterday (though still young in their careers) and it is also easy to overcome initial impressions of a dated cast. This is not a drama for the sake of drama, ... | This is not a film I am going to compare to other films of the genre, because I want the record to show that some of the reviewers are not to be taken seriously. I found this a rather good film, well enough made, entertaining, and well acted. A few of the reviewers have claimed that this film seems more a parody than a... | This is not a film for all tastes. It is very quiet and not particularly action-packed. However, if you are a fan of the British countryside and its history, then 'A Country Dance' must find a place on your 'list of favourite films'. An English farmer (Peter Weller, who always has an interesting role, even if he doesn'... | This is not a film I usually recommend. And I wouldn't have either, if I hadn't promised it to a friend. Still, I was not disappointed. It's not a good movie, but it does have its moments.

Also in the graveyard the girls find ... | This is not a film about a family, but a family about a film. My 3 friends and I discovered the film by a word-of-mouth recommendation.

I'm torn about this show. While MOST parts of it I found to be HILARIOUS, other parts of it I found to be stupid and simply shock for shock sake.

However, I don't think it's clever getting little children ... | 1pos | I'm torn about this show. When I started watching it, I thought I was going to like it.

There was a lot of melodrama and "I'll show you" types of things which just didn't seem very believable.... | I'm torn about this show. I don't know which side to take. One has to consider that it was the first ever of this kind of show. It was done well. I've heard people talking about how it's not faithful to the book, and that it doesn't have any of the real Scooby scenes in it. But I've seen them. There's the same type of ... | I'm torn about this show. I am a huge fan of all the original Twilight Zone shows. So my opinion of this show should be limited on the original episodes.

Both characters deal with murder (a young girl and one of the girls parents) and have been called on to assist each other at times which makes i... | Quai des Orfevres takes too long in developing it's characters and we can do little but sit and wait for this rather plodding production to pick up. Unfortunately it does not pick up. The last half hour seems a long endurance exercise. The best scenes in the film are in the opening third, with a very compelling and dis... | Quai des Orfevres takes too long to get going, until after the first hour there is not much drama and the script seems quite confusing. It is the story of a young ambitious female detective and is based on the real life investigation of the Paris murders in which the serial killer called himself 'Le Boquin', which is a... | Quai des Orfevres takes too much time to get off the ground, but that's not a big problem, because once it gets started it's never going to slow down. The movie is about a cop who thinks he's on the case of his worst nemesis and gets drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse. The movie is very well put together, the di... |
"Quai des Orfevres", directed by the brilliant Henri-Georges Clouzot, is a film to treasure because it is one of the best exponents of French film making of the postwar years. M. Clouzot, adapting the Steeman's novel, "Longtime Defence", shows his genius in the way he sets the story and in the way he interconnects all ... | 1pos | "Quai des Orfevres", directed by Robert Bresson, was another one of those movies I was looking forward to seeing, having just read the novel, by Pierre Fresnay, on which the movie was based. This Bresson was a master at doing this very thing, taking the classic novel, and doing something new with it visually and aurall... | "Quai des Orfevres", directed by Laurent Tirard (who previously directed "Le Prophete"), is an exceptional film that tells the story of French Police detective, Arnaud Leloup, who falls for a woman, Anne-Marie, who is being held in jail after being found guilty of murdering her husband 12 years ago.<br /><br />Though a... | "Quai des Orfevres", directed by Denis Duval, follows the French gendarme who has a love of painting and drawing as he is drawn to investigate a murder that he discovers. I was surprised to see that the movie's title is also the name of a section of Paris, as a police station and a major road there makes the movie's tr... | "Quai des Orfevres", directed by the great director Eric Valette, is a compelling thriller that makes an unexpected switch of pace with its protagonist, played by Jean Rollin (Jean-Claude), an unconventional cop who doesn't follow the rules. He is transferred to a small town, and there is little he can do against the l... | "Quai des Orfevres", directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet, is a very amusing movie that takes us to the world of a criminal and his victim.<br /><br />The two main stories told in this movie both contain a twist: it opens an unexpected door to new stories and characters. For us the spectator it is a real pleasure! <br /><br ... | "Quai des Orfevres", directed by Claude Berri is one of the best crime flick ever. A French classic from 80's, this is a very entertaining film, filled with humor, well-written dialogs, amazing characters and great music. I don't know how this film was marketed in USA, but in Europe, it's a real cult film, everybody's ... | "Quai des Orfevres", directed by Renuar and Lelouch, is an excellent and funny crime flick. This film starts with a robbery on a bank by its own manager and his wife, and the way that everything happens is just absolutely hilarious. A couple of the actors are just fantastic. The director of the film, Renuar, plays the ... | "Quai des Orfevres", directed by one-time Luc Besson collaborator Yannis Tzintzounis ("The Big Blue", "The Big Blue II") is a cleverly-written and well executed murder mystery which keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat throughout. The film, a combination of various international styles, is set in the early 1930's... |
This is an exceptional picture with so much to recommend it. The acting and writing are terrific and there are lots of great twists and turns in the plot. As a French "Noir" film, its language is certainly a lot earthier than its American counterparts, but to me this just added to the realism. Additionally, I liked how... | 1pos | This is an exceptional picture. It is a treat for the eye, has a compelling story with fine performances, strong characterization and superb direction. The cast are all excellent and the setting (the Scottish country side) is gorgeous. It is not often a picture has a story which is completely believable and it is very ... | This is an exceptional picture that I just saw on Turner Classic Movies this morning. The photography is amazing, and it is so incredibly romantic that it is an embarrassment that it hasn't been released on DVD yet. It's about a painter's struggle along with his family, his relationship with a beautiful model, and his ... | This is an exceptional picture that explores a new world for women under Soviet rule. Alexandra (Oliver) is the daughter of a small factory owner and when she's not attending high school, she's working with her father and he hopes she will one day take over the business. However, Alexandra has the desire to explore oth... | This is an exceptional picture of the real life of John Wayne, born as Marlon Brando, a very good actor with a very interesting past, a past that he hides. This past is the one we witness in "Marlon Brando" by John Haluska and Gary Pabst (2001), a nice film that tells us the story of Brando's life and career, up to the... | This is an exceptional picture. A very unique plot with a great script and great acting. This is definitely a cult movie that definitely deserves to be seen and is a must for any movie buff.<br /><br />I am really glad that Tashan was remade by Amitabh Bachchan the way he did but personally love the original. I can't w... | This is an exceptional picture with a rare atmosphere. While others have commented on the unique way that the story is told, I would like also to comment what a beautiful place in England it is where this is filmed. In the picture, the scene with the funeral in the church, in which the funeral of the boy is held as wel... | This is an exceptional picture, a very beautiful film. The two people living in a house by themselves, the fact that they can only see each other if they are willing to walk around in their underwear (that is the only time they are nude, there is not a hint of sexual content), this all gives the feeling of a couple fal... | This is an exceptional picture from start to finish. Well acted, great locations, the story, well, it's a wonder. How anyone could be that young and be such an excellent screen presence is amazing. Even though the film is made in Mexico, the American influence is evident. The fact that the Mexican star is also the main... |
First of all,there is a detective story:"légitime défense" by Belgian Stanislas André Steeman whose "l'assassin habite au 21" Clouzot had already transferred to the screen in 1942,with Pierre Fresnay and the same actress Suzy Delair.Steeman complained about Clouzot's adaptation for both movies.The movie from 1942 was e... | 1pos | First of all,there is a reason this show was canceled (I know you don't want to hear that, but I just want to make this review constructive). The ratings were not quite up to par for the show's quality. This show was incredibly underrated by television watchers and critics alike.<br /><br />If you want to see a show wi... | First of all,there is a lot of people complaining about the lack of a plot.In my opinion,you would be satisfied by the plot after seeing it.If you expect a good plot then you can forget about it.<br /><br />The characters are really charming,and all of them are well acted,especially Meryl Streep.This is her best perfor... | First of all,there is a difference between comedy and satire.This movie had the potential to be the best satire of all time,but fell flat. That's because it's not funny,it's depressing. The cast gives superb performances of characters that are all on a journey towards the acceptance and tolerance of other lifestyles.Th... | First of all,there is a huge difference between those Japanese Anime Series and the traditional animation movies produced all over the world.So I consider that if you already have seen the original Dragonblazer,or the Japanese Anime Series,there is no need to watch this movie,it's just a good idea to watch it if you ne... | First of all,there is a thing that i have to say and is that this is a good TV show and is perfect for a family of all ages.I remember when I was a little boy, that I loved this show and even got a comic book of some episodes of it.Now I have discovered a different way of watching it is through ABC's website and it's a... | First of all,there is a big misunderstanding with this movie,as the way i saw it,the whole idea is to be in someone else's shoes,this is about the best movie to watch on a rainy day or a cold night if you want to feel a little better,after all this is a chick flick and i'm sure that the ladies of the world loved it wit... | First of all,there is a lot of clichés from that Hollywood-style,such as an American girl comes out to a poor and foreign (but "the heart and the soul of all the Americans") and they are struggling to make a decent living; but, in that point of vie, i don't know why but we should admit that the two main actors are real... | First of all,there is a lot of good material here that has made me cry when I first saw it 26 years ago. This movie is for sensitive people not for callous people. It is full of truth and you'll love it if you watch your heart when you watch it. You can say that you will love this, watch it and love it. |
The Director loves the actress and it shows. The actress inhabits the character, whom we love at first sight and sound. The character loves her jealous unprepossessing husband and he loves her. His childhood friend secretly loves his wife and the fact that his friend is a beautiful woman makes the love tragic and ironi... | 1pos | The Director loves the actress but is not in love. The Director is in love with his female lead character. He starts to realize as the movie goes on that she is actually in love with another character in the film. A very subtle tale of lost love and regret. Very effective! | The Director loves the actress, but not her husband... but she will fall in love with him. There are many dramatic story lines going within the movie... but all of them can be summarized by the question of: How can it be that people are so self-centred that other people's feelings and pain and needs have no value at al... | The Director loves the actress but is afraid of her, the actress loves the director but is afraid of him. That, at least, is the initial premise behind this romantic drama. As it goes on, those fears grow into something more sinister. The lovers are unable to communicate with each other because something else is preven... | The Director loves the actress so much he needs to see her in all the movies she's cast in--this is his way of hanging around with her. The actress needs work and has very limited life experience so she's always in touch with the Director. This is a movie made while everyone involved is in their 30's except for the Dir... | The Director loves the actress he is cast in a production with- but she loves the Director- they're like brother and sister at first it all seems fine- they have a good sexual chemistry together until they realise they're in love with each other- then everything feels very wrong and they need to find a solution for bei... | The Director loves the actress and I think this movie will win best film at the upcoming Venice, Rome, Tel Aviv, New York, and Chicago film festivals. It does not have the same impact in America, because audiences have not seen a movie like this from the west.<br /><br />I loved the movie and thought you might want to ... | The Director loves the actress the way the movie makers love the film. <br /><br />The film was originally meant to serve as a vehicle to launch Kajal Khanna's acting career in Bollywood. Instead, she became a household name as a fashion model. The movie made her a star, but not a better actress. Kudos to her then, tha... | The Director loves the actress and uses her to show all the inner parts of his life, his feelings for his work. A great movie, one of those movies about life, about a woman, the way she sees it, the feeling she gets...a simple and true history of a life.<br /><br />If you like this kind of movie you'll find other very ... |
A nice, humorous mix of music hall (in the first third mostly) and police procedural mystery as the various suspects' stories start to collapse. The final exposure of the murder may come as a surprise if you don't watch closely. A gritty look at Paris of the time. You can ignore the final scene (the Hollywood ending). ... | 1pos | A nice, humorous mix of a story has the usual good acting. But the fact that this is a story based on a true event and that the movie is filmed in the actual location makes this a must see.<br /><br />It is a very unusual and rather touching story with a great amount of humour in it. There are some funny lines in the m... | A nice, humorous mix of sex, scandal and adventure, this little gem will surprise fans of the late Jack Lemmon and the underrated Maggie Smith. Smith steals the show as Constance, the lovable but often embarrassing wife of wealthy Harry (Lemmon). <br /><br />Smith plays the role of the loving but slightly insecure wife... | A nice, humorous mix of crime caper and comedy. It plays well in this respect, as it follows a well-written plot while still having a good deal of comedic elements that make it both appealing to fans of either genre.<br /><br />The film revolves around an ex-spy who, with the help of an ex-robber, helps a group of peop... | A nice, humorous mix of comedy/drama for an enjoyable time at the movies.<br /><br />A "must" for those with a good sense of humor. A "must" for those who cry easily! (The first tear usually comes during the second montage) It is also a "must" for all those who look for some great laughs AND some powerful emotions.

The extraordinarily adorable Suzy Delair plays a statuesque performer obsessed with succeeding in the theater. Her husband and accompanist, played by Bernard Blier, is a composed but jealous man.

Born in 1935 and dying in 1981, she made numerous films and became a musical star as well. Her tragic marriage to the much older French music executive, Jacques de Funes, in the mid 1950's (and a quick divorce 14 years later!)... | The extraordinarily adorable Suzy Delair is an exotic dancer who strolls around New York taking photographs and having a wonderful time. Her father, John Carradine, is in a hospital and Suzy wonders if he has died. This is a very nice movie, which gives you a good look at New York in the 1940s. For an independent movie... | The extraordinarily adorable Suzy Delair plays the title role in this hilarious and totally trashy early 1970s Italian comedy about a group of housemates all of them single women living in a London brownstone (in a locale that was, perhaps, called "Brownswood"). The movie has a great opening line. It begins with the ti... | The extraordinarily adorable Suzy Delair and the fine actor John Delley give convincing performances as parents struggling with a difficult task of balancing professional and family life. There is no violence or foul language in the script and so this is a fine movie to take the kids to the theatre or video store and e... | The extraordinarily adorable Suzy Delair as the teenage girl who is about to be raped by the psychotic "suspicious" neighbour (a very fine and understated performance by the splendid Peter Cushing) and her boyfriend as well as the seemingly unshakable notion that our protagonist may be just a wee bit "unhinged" (not to... | The extraordinarily adorable Suzy Delair plays the headstrong yet somewhat ditsy Nancy Barclay. Like all the other good things in life, Nancy's life changes a lot in one night, and not in a good way.<br /><br />A woman dies mysteriously, and while all the men in her life are suspects, the investigation falls to Nancy. ... | The extraordinarily adorable Suzy Delair is 1 of 4 actors playing female roles in this very rare movie.

H.G. Cluozot had difficulties working in France after he had made "Le Corbeau" in 1943 which was produced by the German company and later judged by French as a piece of anti-French propaganda. Louis Jouvet, an admirer of Clouzot's work, invited him to direct a thriller "Quai des Orfevres" where he played an ambiguous p... | 1pos | H.G. Cluozot had difficulties working with real film stars in his day but he always managed to get one or two good character actors who didn't have big budgets to play in his films, and this film is filled with them. There is little that seems like a coincidence or unexplained to me since I can see in my mind how he go... | H.G. Cluozot had difficulties working with actors during the making of this movie. The actors and actresses played by Jack Palance, Joseph Cotton, and Shelley Winters were all trying hard to do their best - Jack Palance with his own personal problems and all. The movie was supposed to be a thriller, and it was a real p... | H.G. Cluozot had difficulties working on this film, because he took a role, that was meant for a veteran director like Lloyd Bacon (The Bowery, The Man Who Played God), who made movies with the help of large scale studio production. A director who was not yet at ease with the art of the medium.<br /><br />The result is... | H.G. Cluozot had difficulties working with the MGM studio and was given a free reign to produce this movie. The basic idea of using doubles is very good, but Cluozot has turned it into a soap opera that lacks tension in the end. All the events are told to the audience and the audience does not feel the slightest tensio... | H.G. Cluozot had difficulties working under the constraints imposed by the Production Code. This film is a perfect example. At one point in the film, the main character, "The Actress," is fired on the "stage" from one room to the other for kissing a member of the male principal cast. Her character was originally intend... | H.G. Cluozot had difficulties working with producers and had trouble financing his films on his own.

Cluozot had difficulties working with the script for The Manchurian Candidate written for him by his wife Ruth Gordon and George Axelrod. After taking over, he added a little to it - namely the addition of the character of Mrs. Reddy. She, of course, has become a standard 1960's character for many, who do not know... |
Is it a murder mystery? Is it a police procedural? Is it a back-stage look at seedy French music halls? Quai des Orfevres is all of these, but more than anything else it's an amusing comedy of infidelity, jealousy and love, set in post-WWII Paris. It may be surprising that Henri- Georges Clouzot, the director of such g... | 1pos | Is it a murder mystery? Is it a tale of sexual subversion? Is it a tragedy that might well move its audience?

Clouzot followed Le Corbeau, where no one knew who was penning the poison thus everyone was suspected, with another masterpiece, Quai des Orfevres four years later in which we know from the outset (or think we do) whodunnit.

This film is so lovingly made you want to be part of it forever. The flics are straight but not without malice, the goods are transparent and evildoers are hardly there.

One of the best film I ever saw.<br /><br />The performance of Louis Jouvet is fantastic. He really 'fill' his part, and this is wonderful.

It's funny how you can be drawn into the lives of people who seem nothing like you but are in fact real like you. That in and of itself makes this a really ... | One of the best film about gay life ever, but how can a film made in 1991, with a straight male and a black woman, can be so good about gay men ? In a simple story at the limit of what is allowed in TV drama (the scene of the first gay sex, with two boys in high school, in class, alone), the two main characters (Derek ... | One of the best film makers of all times, Mr. Saitô gives to this movie something like... a touch of heaven. This is perhaps the most effective and best made film about the Japanese culture that we have ever seen, because in The River, the director has understood the concept Japanese cinema.

It is a pleasure for the eye. This is one of those films to be seen many times. From the opening credits to the end, it makes you follow the main characters and let you into their daily life. I am really glad that I went to Paris to see this film with my mother. We both enjoyed it. Yo... | One of the best film made by John Singleton. I remember watching this film in the theatre when is first came out, and I was really impressed with it. I never thought that any rap-movie would be so good as this one. But after getting on board a flight I really enjoy the movie as well. It is a very different and very sma... | One of the best film about WW2, a human drama during most horrible time. In Italy during WW2 is a story about two families, one German one Italian. It would be an over simplification to call it a film by anti fascisims, in fact is much more deep and complex. A great drama. |
Henri-Georges Clouzot's film is quiet an example of the french transition cinema. A film between the realism of the postwar cinema and the full-of-magic and symbolism nouvelle vague. With some spots of the American classic films (but not imitating it) the director tales us a story about love, crime and the importance o... | 1pos | Henri-Georges Clouzot's film is quiet possibly the best movie ever made.

The film is very different and unoriginal.<br /><br />Kudos to everyone for the good acting and the beautiful scenery. This is a gr... | Henri-Georges Clouzot's film is quiete simple. But, it can be more frighting than many of the most famous horror films. I haven't understood this film when I was seven. But, after several viewings I understand how the film was built.

The characters of its leading actors Pierre Fresnay and Gene Tierney may be not very sympathetic... But they are deeply human and believable, what really matters... | Henri-Georges Clouzot's film is quiet, unobtrusive and subtle, which works very well for the thriller. He creates a masterful psychological atmosphere which is not easily ruined, since he does not go overboard in building suspense, and rather relies on the characters for that effect.

He got the best he can out of this rather modest picture. A classic example of an effective thriller. Great direction. | Henri-Georges Clouzot's film is quiet, slow, and compelling.

His name was: Vincent Van Gogh. <br /><br />There are always new ways of interpretin... | Great artists, always suffered while at work. I had high expectations for this movie after the great work done by the director for the movie Chocolatrie. That movie made me feel good all the way through even though it was a very sad movie.

The French actor has already showed us his talent, here... | Great artists, always suffered while producing their most exquisite artwork. However, in my opinion, these artists were happy while suffering (yes it may seem paradoxal, but it is true). So it happened to the most famous french comic book "Tintin" character.

Should we take the opening shot as a strange frame??? I guess we have to.

Okay, how come not INSIDE the place, at the piano, or even outside with the SOUND of the piano... | 1pos | Should we take the opening line of The House of Yes seriously? I don't think so. It is a movie about the adult sex industry, it is not meant to make us feel good. Still, there is something fascinating about watching the movie, if only because it makes no pretenses. It is an engaging look at the seedy side of our sexual... | Should we take the opening scene of "Anchors Aweigh" as a sign of how far technology has advanced in recent years? In the 1940s, it was an incredible accomplishment to film and edit footage for musical numbers that required multi-leveled sets. Such was the effort with two scenes in "Anchors Aweigh" that stand out as hi... | Should we take the opening scene in the film of the 1928 silent film 'Poor Little Rich Girl' as being a message from the filmmaker that this film is a tribute to the genre? That would be the case if this was not the first time we glimpse the film's young heroine as she is driven to a music conservatory, the restorers f... | Should we take the opening statement that this woman has a husband with an alcohol problem so seriously? Or was this a joke? I don't think I've ever seen any film that deals honestly with alcohol abuse in a way that portrays the effects on everyone involved at least as well. There are many subtle things that suggest th... | Should we take the opening scene too seriously? <br /><br />Notwithstanding the occasional clunky line, the story makes for interesting if not always realistic examination of the interplay between human motivation and the need for human contact in times of crisis.<br /><br />What is more interesting is the degree of em... | Should we take the opening shots of "The Black Cat" as a prologue for the film noir genre? I wouldn't think so because they were filmed too early in the history of cinematographic narrative to carry such weight. Instead, "The Black Cat" should be recognized for starting the trend of film noir, which was not fully reali... | Should we take the opening scene (and title) literally or figuratively?

Pretty good movie about a man and his wife who get caught up in murder and the police officer investigating the case. It starts off marvelously, but kind of hits a wall at a certain point.

The story of the film involves a young girl named Kate, who is the daught... | This begins a series (which I will watch every season) with an impressive presentation of life, both with and without Christ. It gives a picture of life that is both real and hopeful. This program gives a Christian faith that is full. I'll watch these with my family with great interest and enthusiasm. |
I really liked the first part of this film in Africa for about an hour or so until the animal cruelty by civilized humans in Scotland got to me in the second half and made me so sad I couldn't watch some of it. However, this was done by the filmmaker to make a point that early natural scientists ruined everything alive... | 1pos | I really liked the first episode I saw - but since I only own it on video, I have not purchased the series.<br /><br />One major problem I have found when watching on TV is it is very slow to come on - so I have to watch it on my PC to record it.<br /><br />It is such a pity they do not show this series on UK TV.<br />... | I really liked the first part of this mini-serial and couldn't wait for the second part to come out, but alas, it came too late and the plot-line has now jumped straight to the death. The second part (Death at the Windmill) is actually not as good as part 1 as it lacks the mystery behind the opening murder but we get t... | I really liked the first one, but this was really awful. It did not do much for me, especially with the use of CGI when they used to be very simple hand drew animals, which made it more appealing to me. This one was all CGI which looked very good, but felt awkward to watch. The story was mostly the same, but really dra... | I really liked the first two of these movies. They were funny and I loved how all of Paul Reubens children were different from each other. It was also very cool how the show had evolved over the years. Paul Reubens characters from the first 2 movies were completely different from "Paulie", the character from the third ... | I really liked the first four (or was it five?) books. While I always loved the first (A Ring in Time), and I still love the third two, I never thought very much of The Stone Chronicles.

The basic plot is a bit silly and not as great as the first but... |
Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes is based on the classic book Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs and is a more faithful adaptation to the classic book, the film has some great scenery like the Jungles of South Africa to the Greystoke mansion, the acting is also great.

I don't understand why it is so underrated on IMDb.. This movie is just the perfection.. The better adaptation of all times of the myth of Tarzan!

The plot i... | 1pos | I don't understand why it has such a low rate. Maybe people are expecting too much from this movie?

For me... | I don't understand why it's possible to be an idiot and yet the same time say that this movie is the worst movie ever.

So the next time you want to watch a movie take out t... | I don't understand why it was so hard for people to like this film, even when so many did. I loved it, as I love its actors and characters.

Of course the father is a funny old salt who never knows a good joke when he hears i... | I don't understand why it keeps getting the same score! This is an excellent movie and I hope you get to see it at least once. I must also give a special mention to the soundtrack.

I give it 5 and I don't think that's too much. This is a great movie. I agree with the other peoples comments as well. This movie should have been given more credit. It reminds me of a good book.

The characters remind me of my... | I don't understand why it's such a terrible thing that people are talking about the content of a film before they even see it... this is the biggest part, of what cinema's always been.

..especially by Lambert. This is the essential Burrough's Tarzan that I grew up reading when I was a kid.

This is a very interesting, thought-provoking film!

The film is an interesting mixture of several genres... | ..especially by Lambert. This is more "modern" than anything he's done, and I think it's very good.<br /><br />I wasn't expecting him as a lead, but he's excellent as the "cute" guy -- and it's great to see him get a good part. If not the role, the quality of the part in general -- very good.<br /><br />I think many pe... | ..especially by Lambert. This is a brilliant thriller that is well worth checking out. The movie is not only highly suspenseful throughout its short run but also very thought-provoking in its story and character development.

This is both an entertaining and a touching version of the classic tale, also quite intelligent, not of the 'Me Tarzan, You Jane' school at all.<br /><br />It's the famous story of a child reared to manhood in the jungle by apes. A titled British couple (the wife pregnant) is stranded in the African wilds after a shipw... | 1pos | This is both an entertaining comedy and serious work about mental issues. Although the humour is often dark, the comedy is more satirical than actually funny. We follow the lives of two groups.

In the other group a se... | This is both an entertaining movie when seen from the point of view of the actors and actresses in it, and also one to reflect on in terms of the current situation in the Middle-East and the world as a whole. The film is about the difficulties and dangers of doing a business deal in a foreign (in this case Middle-Easte... | This is both an entertaining film, with a message at its core, and quite a different style of film, the main characters are not so much actors in the typical film sense as they are actors who are allowed to live their lives and act out their experiences in front of the camera.

I was impressed with the way it portrayed several different sides of human nature at a very complex and dynamic level. | This is both an entertaining movie as well as a very compelling movie. The premise of the movie is simple. When it comes to the art of filmmaking, the story of love, betrayal, and vengeance is probably one of the most explored, and well used themes. Many have tried to portray this theme, and quite frankly most of them ... | This is both an entertaining film as well as an insightful depiction of the struggle of the Native Americans for their way of life against the encroachments of European settlers.<br /><br />It's not a very familiar story, so a lot of the film's drama stems from the characters' attempts to achieve normalcy in an increas... | This is both an entertaining and touching film. I saw it at the local theater back when it was first released (I think it probably was around the time of "Star Wars", although I would have to check -- sorry). I actually thought it would be a very different type of film, and when I saw it was really made for TV, I was r... | This is both an entertaining and fun movie about family, friendship, love and good times.

Some of the scenes were hilarious, like when the kid (played by an adult man) goes to the bathro... |
There is absolutely no doubt that this version of Tarzan is the closest to Burroughs' vision. While he gladly collected his royalties from the films produced during his lifetime, he frequently made it clear that they were little more than the bastard children of his tales.

My favourite part of the film was definitely the scene in the car, between the two sisters, where they are trying to decide if the fa... | There is absolutely no doubt that this film is an old-fashioned tearjerker, as the plot and the characters are pure melodrama (a man and a woman find love again in the twilight years of their lives). What makes this film not only interesting but also a joy to watch is the way in which the entire story and its emotional... | There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if it weren't for this incredible film that 'The Sixth Sense' would have swept the academy award nominations.

Yes, yes ... |
Where this movie is faithful to Burroughs' vision, it is excellent; where it departs from Burroughs, it is superb. It is a tale of family, of the seeking of a father by a real and emotional orphan. Lambert's speaking of one of the most anguished lines in all of cinema "He was my Father!" is enough to bring tears to the... | 1pos | Where this movie is faithful to the book, the dialogue and the scenes are truly outstanding.

There was nothing to compare with the original, as it was set in the future with the war with the Borg. But I just recently got the DVD set, a combination of the first 3 movies in it.

I've seen better Superman comics than this movie. But that wasn't really this movie's fault, although it was certainly an aid. Instead, this movie is most true to Superman: The Animated Series, or its direct sequel Superman 2: Showdown.

This is a wonderful version of the famous short story. This movie makes you question whether or not Dr. Johnson is a saint.<br /><br />The characters in the movie seem real. One of the best movies of all is the only faithful movie of a Charlotte Bronte book. | Where this movie is faithful to the story I do not know, but I was very impressed by how accurately the book is portrayed.

I particularly liked t... | Where this movie is faithful is in portraying a story with a moral, at its heart lies a lesson in ethics. It is hard to imagine anyone seeing this film, and not thinking about what it means to be real friends. This is very much in keeping with the tone of the classic tale of friendship. The acting in this story has so ... |
Don't let the wildly varying reviews of the movie deter you. You'll love it or hate it according to your own tastes.

I must confess that I don't remember this film very well. But, certainly I liked it. I think it was the best adaptation from Burroughs novel, really.

Before I review this film, I must make a confession that is rather a bold statement to make as a film reviewer.

That's because I think everyone will agree on the following: 1) The actors were good & the film was professionally done (which I have no doubt it was, since I am quite familia... | Before I review this film, I must say that I am an avid fan of Tippi Hedley, I was never an Adam sandler fan but after two movies (punch drunk love and his wedding crashers (2006) ) I am convinced I am fan as well.<br /><br />I was a little bit worried about going into this movie. It was not something I had heard that ... | Before I review this film, let's just take a little look back to the beginning. In early 1989, director Michael Keusch, after being involved with two episodes of the popular "Möbelhaus" television show, was given a chance to direct his own show. It was to be his signature piece, the story that would become his most wel... | Before I review this film, I can tell a few things about it: it is low-budget, it has no big names, and it has almost no dialog. But the film is worth a look. The director has written something that will speak to a lot of people, and he has done so without the use of dialogue. The film shows in detail how a man can bec... | Before I review this film, I have some questions for the filmmakers that might make this review easier to understand. I don't mean to come across as rude, but I wonder why all of this emphasis on the "suffering of the characters' and "their own pain to suffer?" While there can be some dramatic truth in this, I can't he... | Before I review this film, let me give you a quick update on the recent events in New York. I was waiting for an important phone call before I could get on board to watch this film. And all I had heard was that my cousin who works at the World Trade Center did a decent job while I was stuck waiting for an important pho... |
I thought this was a very daring representation of the old hokey 'Tarzan' concept made so popular by Hollywood, Weismuller, et al.<br /><br />Yes; there is a lot of silly stuff. But then, the idea is silly. It is almost unbelievable that a human baby could be sired to adulthood by chimpanzees. I am tempted to say compl... | 1pos | I thought this was a wonderful move. The acting, directing, casting, and script were superb. Robert De Niro was terrific in his role as a lonely, and somewhat frightened writer. Dustin Hoffman was also an excellent performer.

The cat leaves after the women tells him to do just that, but sh... | I thought this was a really good movie. It is about a young woman who gets a car wreck and ends up with two new friends. One is the caretaker of the house she is in. The other one is her brother. I really liked this movie. It was kind of like "Ghost". It is worth seeing. My son is twelve. | I thought this was a good show and would really really appreciate some action episodes, the series should have more variety, not just episodes where Max and Chase try and solve a crime. (The best episode was one where Max and Chase got attacked by mutant aliens). I can only hope that TV would offer more such shows. The... | I thought this was a fascinating presentation in documentary form, the people in the film are really amazing, and so is the subject about which they talk. The only thing that annoyed me a little was how, if you don't catch the program first time around, you have quite long gaps between viewings, it's a damn shame that ... | I thought this was a pretty good movie. In fact, it's the only movie I've seen where I actually went back and bought the book it was based on. It's a true story too.<br /><br />I didn't have high expectations going into this movie, and I have to say it was worth watching. The acting isn't spectacular, but it's OK and t... | I thought this was a fantastic film. In 1999, I went to Paris to visit my best friend who was doing her masters there. She also had been in the movie industry. I had the privilege of watching part of this movie during the day with a group of my friends. I thought it was such a great movie! I think it is something speci... | I thought this was a very good movie. The cast all played their parts well and the story line was a little different than what I am used to seeing.

While it comes no closer to the Tarzan of Edgar Rice Burroughs than, say, the Johnny Wiesmuller flicks did it does have it's own peculiar, and entertaining, slant on the story. Its a well done Tarzan movie. Nice scenery, good photography, workable continuity, and a Tarzan yell that echos the one described by Burroughs.... | 1pos | While it comes no closer to being convincing on every level than a "Hollywood" (or "Brattle" in this case) movie, GENTLEMAN JIM gives us an excellent view of the sport in the period immediately after Pug's emergence. The story is about how he gets his manager (played by the always good Ralph Meeker) for a $50 bet and h... | While it comes no closer to being an "Eyes Wide Shut" quality film, THE LEXAN PLOT stands superior over many of the "B" movies of the same decade. The acting is surprisingly good, especially on the part of the women (with the exception of one of the male actors, who looked the part of a fat drunk, but was not terribly ... | While it comes no closer to the real events of the second world war than most films, this one certainly holds its own. The battle scenes in this are good, and it's an epic tale of war--an important element of any war movie. What sets it apart from others is that it has no great heroes to speak of--there are no great ba... | While it comes no closer to the excellence of the "Hanzo The Razor" series than the similar Hanzo spin-off, The Sword and the Swallow (in fact, there's little more of a connection than the character's first names), it's still a charming and engaging light entertainment. While some of the supporting characters are a lit... | While it comes no closer to the level of drama of the first film in the series, as the title suggests, it does manage to be both entertaining and fun for those who know about the series. Unlike the first installment, where the hero's nemesis is a slimy creature of evil who is trying to destroy the land and the only way... | While it comes no closer to being a masterpiece than most films in most genres (except perhaps documentary), it's certainly much better than most. Its greatest strengths, and most innovative elements, are its pacing (no scene lasts longer than it ought), its writing (the "dialogue" is very effective indeed), and its po... | While it comes no closer than 98 minutes, this has to be the best movie of the year, and possibly ever. The story follows the journey of three friends in their mid 30s, who meet up for a weekend of nostalgia and celebration. The film then breaks into three separate stories, which come back together at the conclusion. A... | While it comes no closer to a perfect film than a great Shakespeare production, as an adaptation of Shakespeare in general, this is a very good start from the word go.<br /><br />There have been many productions, many good, many better, of Shakespeare's works.

Watch it with an open mind, it is very different, nothing's cutesy about this. Very well done realistic tale of Tarzan. The animatronics chimpazees are well done for '84, Christopher Lambert was brilliant imitating chimpazee language and behavior. I wouldn't be surprised if he took lessons from Jane Goodall. | 1pos | Watch it with an open mind. This is a masterpiece, a gem that should be seen, especially its unique soundtrack with the beautiful and inspiring music of "Nikolayevka," played by the two young Russian piano players. It has been some of the finest music I've ever heard. And then there is Nina's beautiful singing, her sin... | Watch it with an open mind.<br /><br />This movie may need your full attention for the story to have some effect on you.

I had low expectations before seeing this movie, but was very glad I saw it. I can see why it is on DVD. It is very well directed and well shot. The plot and directing are very similar to some of the other Hong Kong thrillers (especially Inferno) I have seen, with a little more action and hu... | Watch it with an open mind. The movie wasn't made to win Oscars but to offer entertainment. One of the first Korean animated movie, it's original and interesting. It's a good movie for children as well as adults (it's great for any movie fan, because it's full of inside jokes for those in the know and a simple movie fo... | Watch it with an open mind if you do decide to catch up on a little history. My impression is, that you just don't know how to think about history anymore without putting it in context. Just remember the 1960s, to name a very prominent example, and how the attitudes changed, as the century rolled inexorably forward.<br... | Watch it with an open mind and an open heart, and you'll enjoy it - the acting performances and direction by the great David Lynch were what made it for me. But if you're looking for a typical Hollywood type of plot, then I would say forget it. I believe Lynch wants to challenge peoples minds, and by doing this, he is ... | Watch it with an open mind, enjoy every bit of it and you will love it. My wife and I did. We both have loved the original movie and were pleasantly surprised and entertained when viewing this one. It takes place in the future and has a very different feel to it than the first one. We liked the fact that the writers ma... | Watch it with an open mind.

Although films about Edgar Rice Burroughs famous Rousseauian hero Tarzan have been seen by movie goers for almost a century now, this is the definitive version of the story.

I did it too. When i first saw the band, i dismissed them straight away without even listening to the music. Then one day, out of sheer curiosity, i bought the cd and fell in love with it.

It's a typical romantic comedy for what it's worth. And the best/worst part is that there's a nude scene that had nothing to do with the film. Don't get me wrong, I didn't look at it twice. It was a bit random. Also, I reme... | I can't remember exactly where I first saw this movie, but I must have.

From the golden period of British films, this has my vote for one of the funniest of all time.

One of the flat-out drollest movies of all-time. Sim and Rutherford are at their best matching wits over the predicament of an all-boys and all-girls school sharing the same quarters. Slapstick has never been this sophisticated. | 1pos | One of the flat-out drollest movies ever made, this is a hilarious take-off of the Western genre, with John Cusack and Danny Aiello in a pitch-perfect performance both as gruff gunfighters from opposite corners of the Old West. The rest of the cast is also terrific, including Donald Sutherland as a wise old Indian who'... | One of the flat-out drollest movies you could ever find, "The Absent-Minded Waitress" is filled with subtle humor and sardonic wit that's hard to beat when you've got a good cast with lots of talent. In the lead roles are two comedians, Richard Pryor and Ruby DeLuise, who play a bickering but inseparable couple who liv... | One of the flat-out drollest romances ever recorded, with a killer cast and a tight script all but crackling with comic electricity. "P.S. I Love You" is a joyous celebration of the "what if" possibilities inherent in the act of writing a letter.<br /><br />As the movie progresses, the central conceit builds into a com... | One of the flat-out drollest comedies i have seen, and one of the most underrated. The acting is very good (Lowe is superb, as is the lovely Parker, and all the actors play the jokes well - though i admit my taste in comedies lies with the likes of SNL and the UK-based British comedic actors). It is funny in the classi... | One of the flat-out drollest of the 1960s films that I've seen. A real gem that has been overlooked too long. I'm not familiar with the original story, but this film doesn't need to be, its characters are engaging on their own merits. This isn't so much a comedy as it is a charming drama about people who are just so lu... | One of the flat-out drollest, most original comedies ever made. The script is sharp and funny, the cast is superb, and director Keaton and producer Keaton (yes, they were father and son) are clearly on top of their games.<br /><br />This is the kind of movie that people today would describe as 'edgier' or 'quirkier', b... | One of the flat-out drollest spoofs of the time, and really, if you haven't seen this you should. It is an absolute hoot! A mix of screwball comedy (with a generous dash of sex, and sex jokes, too) with a bit of the wild slapstick, and also comedy (some very sophisticated, even) of the theater and operatic variety. For... | One of the flat-out drollest, funniest, and most creative comedies ever, "Hot Millions" takes a crack at the financial world from a new angle: the "scam." The film doesn't take itself seriously for second, and it has the ability to poke fun at its own characters, and even at itself (something few comedies can do). The ... |
This film, without doubt, is the clearest example of the British humour the Germans can't understand. One-liners run rampant in a film spawning one of the greatest series of films in British cinema history (St.Trinians).

O... | This film, without doubt, is one of the most important films to be ever made, because it portrays the life of Jesus, and all the significant things that He did during his life. However, I can see that some of the viewers of this great film felt that this production was flawed. I can see where some people felt it was no... | This film, without doubt, is a wonderful family film with great performances by the entire cast. It is a film that, if it did exist, would bring back memories of a simpler time when life was somewhat innocent, yet much more enjoyable and fun to live out. The music in the film fits perfectly and helps the viewer get int... | This film, without doubt, is the best horror film of its time. Its style, set design and performances are all excellent.

Wodehouse's "Brideshead Revisited", "How Green Was My Valley", "Doctor Zhivago" and "A Room With a View". This movie captures the essence of Austen and the delicate subtlety of the wit in the dialog, along with t... | This film, without doubt, is one of John Cassavetes' best. (I would place it before Opening Night which at the present time is his most well know and admired.) What makes it so good is that it is realistic at all levels, not just the dialog which some might consider as the only thing that should be taken seriously in a... | This film, without doubt, is the greatest film directed, written, and acted by Audrey Tautou. It is funny, touching, and moving. Although it is a film in which a lot of people are unhappy, the film has a lot of humour and charm to it. Tautou, as well as Gaddis, has an eye catching and brilliant smile, and brings out an... | This film, without doubt, is one of the most controversial productions ever to be released for home video. This is especially true in the United States. When first released in the late 1970s, this movie was labeled with an X-rating.

The Happiest Days of Your Life showcases some of Britain's greatest comedy talents of its time in a traditionally farcical and upper-class-twit like fashion.

The play is cleverly constructed - begin with the porter, Rainbow - & let the audience see the background unfold through his eyes.

I hope the producers will make a sequel... and if you enjoyed Labyrinth, you will definitely enjoy The Beast. | The play is cleverly constructed and has numerous comic (and sad) moments throughout. The supporting cast is great, and there are some wonderfully funny lines. It's a very engaging story that captures the audience's attention. A fun evening, and I heartily recommend it. 9/10. I'm giving a special bonus for the ending, ... | The play is cleverly constructed and cleverly acted out by an accomplished cast (the rest of the cast is also more than good to watch.) The two leads are fantastic. Although the play and acting do have their own merits, it also has to do with the casting of them: the actress playing the leading lady is a very good choi... | The play is cleverly constructed to keep you guessing as to whose side anyone is on.

Then one night, our hero goes home and ... | A bumbling error at the beginning of a movie always brings on the biggest amount of laughs, and this is not exception.

I will give due to some of the actors playing out some fairly decent reactions to lines that might have had a great actor give great results, but the lines really suck. Lines like "that's some impressive crap, there" or in the car in an office park... | This film is just plain fun, and anyone who gets irritated by a slow-paced romance is not fit to sit through it. This film does not follow any other film in this genre. It's funny and warm without being sappy or trite. There is nothing really sexual about this film; they don't do more than hold each other's hands. One ... | This film is just plain bad. Its not funny the whole time through- just the beginning. Then you are treated to a 12 minute nude beach scene (that is completely inappropriate). And to top that, that film is the least funny part.<br /><br />If you have nothing going on or you feel the need to see anything about this film... | This film is just plain fun from start to finish. When I saw it first I was 7 years old and it never stopped being funny for me. <br /><br />Yes the plot is basic - boy saves girl and world is saved. But how this one does it with a giant robot is just hilarious - a robot that has no business with this planet, but is th... | This film is just plain fun! The acting is not super-great, which adds to the fun. Not having seen the original movie for many years, I missed some stuff, but what I saw was really amusing and I laughed a *lot*. Definitely worth checking out; the "1st" scene should get a lot of laughs.<br /><br />I haven't read the boo... | This film is just plain goofy to watch. From the moment of the credits you know that this is going to be a great movie as the camera pans on the sets. As the movie begins, you are swept up into the amazing story, which involves the love of the young and the not so young. <br /><br />A very unusual film to find its way ... | This film is just plain fun. There was only one person who stood up at the end of the screening and said what a pile of garbage it was, and I really think he was joking.<br /><br />As a fan of The Simpsons, I was delighted when I first saw references to the show a few minutes into this movie.

Nicotine? Fisticuffs? We're moving to Hawaii! Get me a pack!" This classic scene from 1970's "Chariots of Fire" is still being quoted, mostly as a joke.

Well, it has to be said that Monster Man is a huge mess of a film, but somehow multiple different genres and a clichéd plot come together to make one of the most enjoyable modern horror films I've seen in ages! The two biggest styles that the film mixes are a 'Road Trip' style teenage comedy and a 'Texas Chainsaw Massa... | 1pos | Well, it has to be said, the film "Funky Monkey" is a bit of a curate's egg in that it has numerous good qualities, but also numerous flaws. It is a great action movie, a fun, energetic film that has a great cast, headed by Bill Goldberg. It has a good laugh a second, and some brilliant martial arts sequences, but sadl... | Well, it has to be the best movie I have ever seen so far. It is a great story about two good looking ladies: Katja and Anna, who, though, are very different from each other: Katja is a successful model, while Anna is a simple office worker. Katja wants to marry and have a child, but Anna is not so sure whether to star... | Well, it has to be one of those movies that is either loved or reviled by your own culture, so as you can see it's divided up into two sides. The more sophisticated people tend to have a taste for the more original, more challenging things, while the more casual audience will prefer the movies that are more straightfor... | Well, it has to be one of the best movies I have seen. I've never been in a theater, but i had two friends who were, so it was not such a weird situation but a really good feeling in my stomach. So, my suggestion: watch! If you're a fan of the Lord of the Rings, you'll like this one, there are so many similarities betw... | Well, it has to be the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life. It's very easy to watch if you're looking for something funny to make you laugh. Very often there are parts with jokes, where it's funny and you can laugh your ass off, and that's the best part about it. It's a family movie, it has beautiful songs, cut... | Well, it has to be, right? If anything, this is one of the most fascinating movies ever made: the camera takes you into the secret world of animals by giving you a peek at a world far away from the one, you are used to. The fact, that a huge part of us is not just aware of this, but not even suspicious at its existence... | Well, it has to be seen to be believed, so many of the jokes in it are brilliant like the one where the teacher is walking in a park and meets the girl who sold the kid the candy. She says something along the lines "You are the most boring man I know." He goes "Thanks for the advice." All joking aside I still believe t... | Well, it has to be stated that there wasn't an original scene in the entire film! The film makers have taken the most famous and original scenes/lines of the 1977 film "Star Wars" and placed them in the plot, which makes this film more like a parody. If a parody is your style of entertainment then you should find plent... |

Four key ingredients to the delicious flavor that was The Hills Have Eyes 2. It's definitely an interesting concept to a horror movie, but with a killer twist, the director's cut had enough nudity to make most people's faces turn even bright... | A beautiful woman, a backwoods, a murder. These are the three themes that combine to create this atmospheric thriller. I had never heard of Richard Laxton prior to seeing this film and my reaction to it was like that to many other reviewers here. Here is my vote 9 out of 10.<br /><br />The film is actually very simple ... | A beautiful woman, a backwoods, haunted house, a secret room, a black cat, a creepy grandfather, a daughter whose dead mother lived in the same room she does, and an ominous thunderstorm- sounds like the plot for some darkly romantic and Gothic horror. What you expect this movie to be is a romantic ghost story, but it ... | A beautiful woman, a backwoods, a murder, revenge and plenty of sleaze with a twist at the end - how bad could this flick be? Really, a lot of the fun here is in noticing all the twists and surprises and, more than that, seeing how they do or don't fit together in the aftermath of the conclusion. It's as though the scr... | A beautiful woman, a backwoods, her husband a man of great dignity and a police officer? This was the plot of the first "Sob" movie that a good friend got for me.

This was on Showtime the other night, and I figured it was going to be another made-for-video crap fest, like "Earth vs. the Spider" or any of those other HBO horror shorts.

The story is well-told with the two victims being an excelle... | In the veins of Jeepers Creepers and the Changelings, this movie follows two couples who get themselves involved with creatures who seek to dominate other species. While most of the story follows the male lead, which is typically seen as being "a little gay", I found this movie to be well worthwhile and a refreshing ta... | In the veins of Jeepers Creepers, this movie takes place in a hospital.<br /><br />A series of murders takes place following a woman's (Sarah Michelle Geller) hospitalization following a car accident.<br /><br />Who could be responsible and, is there a logical explanation to the murders?<br /><br />All in all, a really... | In the veins of Jeepers Creepers, this movie is for those who have a great sense of humour and are not taken seriously in life. This movie is not a movie to get out of your clothes while watching, but is a comedy which you have to laugh at, not laugh with. I don't mind a little blood splatter or a little blood, but whe... | In the veins of Jeepers Creepers and the 8 Mile soundtrack, the new music video for the new single of a new genre of rap, the rap battle; an art form that has been around for centuries in black and Latin America. But in the modern age some have taken this ancient tradition and turned it into art. In a way the rap battl... | In the veins of Jeepers Creepers and Alien Resurrection, Bloodrayne is a low-budget, horror gem. I saw this film not knowing what to expect. So what was I expecting? I'm not quite sure. But what I saw was well worth it. The pace of the film was solid as well as the ending, which kept it tense all the way.<br /><br />It... | In the veins of Jeepers Creepers and I mean that in every possible way comes 1998's A Thief In The Night. An odd thing about Jeepers Creepers is that it wasn't a success. It was an extremely popular horror film in Australia that I remember well. It was an odd blend of humour, horror and drama that really worked.<br... | In the veins of Jeepers Creepers and the original The Exorcist, this film takes us on an uneasy journey into the world of Satanism. We are taken through the usual themes: possession, paranoia, and revenge on a girl who does not appreciate what is happening to her.<br /><br />The film is very realistic in terms of the e... |
Great horror comedy from Michael Davis.Iwas laughing so hard i almost peed! Great acting from Eric Jungman as the good guy who saves the day & great performance by the Jack Black-esquire like performance from Justin Urich. He was just divine in this film. This guy deserves to be a big star. Also,Aimee Brooks was good i... | 1pos | Great horror comedy from Michael Keaton, where he plays a TV horror anchorman, whose personality causes his show to be canceled. He finds the perfect show to fill the void of void's - an old show from the early days of horror - where he's to be the ghost host who introduces his guest to what will soon be called the Fri... | Great horror comedy from Michael Winner (not the Godfather's brother!). This is a very amusing satire on the studio system and the movie business, especially what goes on behind the scenes. It tells the story of a Hollywood studio head who discovers that one of his actors/writers is dying from cancer. With a couple of ... | Great horror comedy from Michael Keaton and a very good supporting cast, with a really cool musical score and some great moments of film humour. This is a pretty unknown horror movie that should be more well known as it is a pretty good effort. It's a shame this movie didn't get some more exposure and recognition, as i... | Great horror comedy from Michael Jackson. This was actually better than Mr. Michael's next movie The Wiz, where he plays as the good guy. His new album can only be heard on the movie or a concert video. This is the story about a family with an African American dad, a Caucasian mother and the kids are both African Ameri... | Great horror comedy from Michael Winner. One of his best ones. Winner is a director that made several great gore films, but the comic touch was also there. He did some films that would make you laugh, but at the same time feel horror about what is happening. Horror comedies. This is a well-made example of it. With some... | Great horror comedy from Michael Keaton in a role that would help lead to his "Night Shift", and to be really funny there's not much room for over the top drama, not to mention the fact that much of what would become the plot was inspired by his character being the sole survivor of a plane crash and having to learn to ... | Great horror comedy from Michael Keaton and Charlie Sheen who play a married couples who find themselves being mistaken for a lesbian couple by two other men. The problem is that these two men want to marry them and the complications begin to ensue, will the couple come out better for it?<br /><br />Great comedy which ... | Great horror comedy from Michael Haneke (Funny and Mad).

This is a surprisingly great low budget Horror/Comedy, it's funny and pretty well made, with good performances and a really cool twist ending!. All the characters are pretty cool, and the story while unoriginal is very good, plus Eric Jungmann(Adam) and Justin Urich(Harley) had fantastic chemistry together. One of the ... | 1pos | This is a surprisingly great film. If you enjoy the genre, I think you will find it to be really well done. It's the story of a real guy in his mid-20s, who wakes up in jail and tries to tell the story of how he got there. A story so real that it's hard to watch at some points. | This is a surprisingly great little movie. Although much of the humor is light, it touches on issues that everyone will relate to, like the fear of getting hurt, the feeling of going alone, the feeling of being alone, etc.<br /><br />My favorite part comes at the end when Jack Frost is asking the owner of the restauran... | This is a surprisingly great film that is so original because nothing like this has ever come out of Bollywood. Sure, it's highly unlikely to get a look over in the west, but trust me when I say that this is a great film that deserves to get a lot more exposure. I have seen this film 4 times now and I still marvel at t... | This is a surprisingly great movie. It starts out as a simple, predictable tale of a girl and a young man from different backgrounds who fall in love. It would be boring, but it doesn't stay there. The main characters and the rest of the cast are all given believable depth. It is the chemistry between Daniel Gogola (Cz... | This is a surprisingly great TV show. It's got lots of humor value for the entire family and a few extra surprises for viewers who know about the Bible. Some of the jokes are not subtle, but most of the humor is. And the story is more then just your run of the mill Christian theme type thing. This show has something fo... | This is a surprisingly great film. It's not perfect, though. Some of the scenes seem a little stilted.<br /><br />Anyway, it's the journey and the beautiful story about the friendship between the two main characters (not a spoiler because everyone at least should know it) that makes this a film worth watching.<br /><br... | This is a surprisingly great movie, and one of the most underrated films I've ever seen. It's about a family who moves to the country to escape the constant "noise," and are haunted by the family's past, who died in an incident when their father was only five and still lives on their farm. Not that I recommend you rent... | This is a surprisingly great adaptation of this classic play. I only recently heard of it and started to research it and, as a huge fan of the original play, was delighted to stumble across this! This film is often overlooked and overshadowed by the more famous version of 'Much Ado' which stars Kenneth Branagh. I think... |
Just got around to seeing Monster Man yesterday. It had been a long wait and after lots of anticipation and build up, I'm glad to say that it came through and met my expectations on every level. True, you really can't expect too much from hearing the plot rundown, but after reading some of the reviews for it, I was ecs... | 1pos | Just got around to seeing that when the trailers were on TV I was so excited about seeing this and I'm so happy that I did.<br /><br />So you know how the old adage goes that you may be happy to see your old friends but you may not be so happy to see your old lovers. This movie is based around a group of friends who ha... | Just got around to seeing this a couple of days ago. When it first came out, everyone had their favourite and least favourite. I didn't quite enjoy it as much as some do but I still thought I liked it. It gets the rating it does, for better or worst, because it IS in the style of the early days of the 60s and I liked t... | Just got around to seeing this movie for the first time (1988's "Bartleby" is not that much better, really). And it's the best thing to hit the screen in a very long while, perhaps the best movie this year to date - this is one very darkly comic, twisted gem, with the greatest screenplay of the year, one of the best pe... | Just got around to seeing this film at a free screening after its theatrical run. Great fun, excellent cast, and a story about people being human and the bonds of friendship, good against evil, loyalty.<br /><br />The actors of it. Well, we have the late and great William H Macy in the lead with the great Stanley Tucci... | Just got around to seeing this, and I expected one of the lesser efforts in the series. Not the case for me, this one was really good, I'd rate it a 7 or 8 on top of my list with most of the other new Godzilla and Mechagodzilla movies. The scenes with Mechagodzilla were very good and very much of a new style. Even the ... | Just got around to seeing this film the other night. It's a very funny little film, one that will make you laugh but will also really stay with you after viewing it. When someone as diverse as Christopher Guest is being recognized by major studios and being handed some of the best writing jobs in Hollywood it's a good ... | Just got around to seeing this one again after a very long time; some 20 years or so.<br /><br />Some things have stuck in my mind, years after, and this will forever be a very special film for me.<br /><br />Some of the lines, such as: "I've always been fond of you Miss Johnson", "You were a man's woman" the scene wit... | Just got around to seeing this when I was in London recently, and was amazed that I hadn't seen it until now. I was also completely stunned by it - the pace was great, the music was amazing, the characters were rich and the storyline was very engaging. You really care about these characters - especially the mother - an... |
I got this as part of a competition prize. I watched it, not really expecting much from an obviously low budget production. I laughed myself sick!There are obvious references to other films in the horror genre - Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Friday 13th etc. All the standard clichés were there - long drive through partiall... | 1pos | I got this as part of a deal online. We watched this movie (not once) on HBO when it originally aired back in the very early 90's and really hated the movie. We thought that the script stunk and the cast were not even close to being able to really portray those roles and the movie fell apart and just wasn't any good. N... | I got this as part of an a Christmas movie collection. It's not a bad film really, I actually thought it was really cute. Just another romantic Christmas drama. The acting was good for a low budget production, like the characters. This movie could be a little more of a classic but at the same time I think they did a go... | I got this as part of a pack of 3 old films, and i had a look at the box, but didn't realise how bad it was going to be. As it's the only one of the three that is not in B/W, it was a bit of a surprise. There's some pretty good action and gore. I have to say, the gore effects aren't all that great, but there are plenty... | I got this as part of a box set of the Zatoichi films which i could not get off the internet. I am extremely glad as i love this film. I have seen it over and over again and it always puts me in the right mood, it helps you escape from your everyday problems into another person's life. The film is very easy on the eye ... | I got this as part of a bulk DVD purchase of stuff that was not exactly well received at its release and now has a nice low price. I'm a fan of the original film and the TV show with Simon and his cat, so was pleasantly surprised to find a sequel and a feature length one at that. Although it's rather dated now in terms... | I got this as part of a movie-forums auction. It was the cheapest item I had spent my money (about $5), but still I was very happy with the result. Although I have to admit, a 50:50 chance of getting a piece of art like this is only once in a thousand. So the price I paid for it is certainly about right. The art qualit... | I got this as part of a mixed DVD collection and was pleased to see what a great cast was in this movie, starting with Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Paul Reiser & Rhea Perlman, among others. It was very enjoyable to hear Rhea speaking like Burt -- and, as a fellow cast member says, it was a nice change for her.<br /><br ... | I got this as part of the Sci-Fi Classics DVD set, and was utterly enthralled with the story. I have read, and re-read the novel, and the story comes alive on a grand scale in the mind of the viewer of this extraordinary film. The book is also well worth reading, if you like science fiction; it stands up against novels... |
I got Monster Man in a box set of three films where I mainly wanted the other two but still had a very pleasant time with it. It blends horror and comedy to reasonable effect, helped out considerably by the decent performances of Eric Jungman as the geeky lead, Justin Urich as his a hole friend and Aimee Brooks as the ... | 1pos | I got Monster Man in a local flea market, and I did not regret the expense. The film really is a strange mixture of action and horror. I could see that the monster is indeed more intelligent as compared with other Hollywood monsters. When he is fighting with the robots, he is able to move around to the left or right si... | I got Monster Man in the video store because the description sounded like it would be a pretty awesome movie. There are movies like this where you take the synopsis, if it sounds cool on paper you're probably going to like it. Don't do that here. <br /><br />It turns out that the movie is actually very much in the same... | I got Monster Man in my collection over Halloween. I had already been watching horror flicks all through the weekend, so I was pretty excited the next day to start looking at my new collection. I got Monster Man as a rental, and this movie is so bad, you can't help but be entertained.<br /><br />The story is based on a... | I got Monster Man in the DVD box set from Mr. DVD, and it turned out to be a very worth-while effort. I don't think I would have ever watched it, had they not put it there. So many people have complained about the quality of the movie, how cheap it's made, but what I think a lot of those same people may have missed whe... | I got Monster Man in my Christmas gift. I didn't know what film it was at first but soon realised it was the great "The Attack" (1955) from Italy. Yes the film was good in terms of special effects, but the story needed improvement. The film got off to a great start but I think the writers were running low on plot as th... | I got Monster Man in the second hand book shop for fifty pence but was totally surprised by it on the DVD. It is truly one of the great films of the fifties. The monsters are fantastic and the story goes on to explore some disturbing moral questions about the right of one race to invade and conquer another which is sti... | I got Monster Man in December 2003 for 20 pounds which was then worth about £12.50.<br /><br />As any horror fan will know, this is a true British low budget gem.<br /><br />The story centers around a man, who is bitten by bats in a cave for a few weeks. The bite causes him to develop a skin condition as large chunks p... | I got Monster Man in a pack of 10 Sci-FI movies. When I rented it I though it looked kind of interesting.<br /><br />But when I watched it I didn't think it was really "good", but still pretty enjoyable. The story is well put together to my mind and the characters get you drawn in to the plot even if it is sort of hoke... |
Five minutes in, i started to feel how naff this was looking, you've got a completely unheroic hero and his overweight fool of a friend. Seen it all before, yeah right. I was getting ready to be bored out of my mind for a good few hours. This is something i have become quite used to... haven't we all. Then after a few ... | 1pos | Five minutes in, i started to get angry. Then by the time i finished watching this movie i was mad. I've seen some movies in my life. Some of them were good and some of them weren't. That didn't matter though, the thing that mattered was that they were all entertaining. That was the point of watching them. It didn't ma... | Five minutes in, i started humming tunes. Ten minutes in I started a song. At fifteen, i was almost singing along. And when this thing was done, I was singing and humming, whistling and clapping well into late Sunday afternoon. I'm a big fan of classical music, but I thought that was the weakest area of the show. The s... | Five minutes in, i started laughing, and the more of it I saw the less I could keep quiet. I wasn't laughing because the jokes were great or because I thought the storyline was great, I was laughing because it's all the more hilarious seeing the reaction that the 'serious' guys in the audience have to an unfunny joke o... | Five minutes in, i started to laugh so hard my ribs began to ache. I'd only seen 4 minutes of the film, and I laughed more than during any other movie i knew of, when the hero gets a glimpse of the future, and has to make a choice, his facial expressions were very funny as to whether to go through with his plan or not.... | Five minutes in, i started getting the distinct feeling that this movie was not all that it was cracked up to be. A quick glance at other user reviews quickly confirmed my suspicions. My opinion was that this movie is NOT for everyone
however, it is a VERY entertaining movie.<br /><br />The plot itself revolves around ... | Five minutes in, i started laughing, then i laughed hard for the first thirty minutes. Then i realized it was one of those films which keeps you laughing long after the comedy stopped. This movie was extremely funny throughout which made it enjoyable the next day or so. This film was great for anyone who likes old time... | Five minutes in, i started thinking of the ending. Then within half an hour, I was actually thinking of the script of the second sequel to Zatôichi! And guess what? It worked! This movie is a beautiful example of what i like to call 'suspense'. All the details fit together like a puzzle, the acting, the character devel... | Five minutes in, i started laughing. When the killer came on to the scene i just fell about laughing. A nice, creepy killer with a long knife and not much sense. It wasnt scary or intense, it had a nice bit of humour and made me laugh and smile...not to mention that the girl who plays his fiancee is really hot i might ... |
I caught this movie on the Sci-Fi channel recently. It actually turned out to be pretty decent as far as B-list horror/suspense films go. Two guys (one naive and one loud mouthed a**) take a road trip to stop a wedding but have the worst possible luck when a maniac in a freaky, make-shift tank/truck hybrid decides to p... | 1pos | I caught this movie on a Sunday afternoon recently and it was so funny I had to make my non-enthusiastic boyfriend watch it with me so he could see what I liked about it.

Both of us were in stitches for more than half an hour after t... | I caught this movie on cable the other night and liked every aspect of it. I was thoroughly enjoyed the cast, the plot, the character development, I was totally absorbed with it, and I was very pleased with the ending. I'd definitely recommend this for a date or just for a rainy day. Hope this sounds good to anyone loo... | I caught this movie on HBO. What an absolutely incredible cast and crew. You really don't know who's better, the actors or the writers. I don't know who wrote this or directed it, but they sure did a great job. The only major problem I had with it was the ending. You got to wish that the two actors didn't get together,... | I caught this movie on the airwaves the other night. I will never forget it.

He was so damaged and confused about why God would allow his family to suffer from such cruel circumstances that he deci... | I caught this movie on Lifetime TV as part of my research paper for my English class.

I don't normally watch Sci Fi Channel. And I guess that's because I don't normally enjoy the type of movies that they show.
