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	drdpo	drdpo	dpo	drdpo	dpo	0.530115	0.516961	0.467332	0.531939	0.498734	0.469885	0.483039	0.532668	0.468061	0.501266
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	dpo	dpo	dpo	dpo	dpo	0.499695	0.455199	0.490968	0.482307	0.475484	0.500305	0.544801	0.509032	0.517693	0.524516
This is possibly the most perfect film I have ever seen - in acting, adaptation and direction.

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.

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	dpo	dpo	dpo	dpo	dpo	0.492646	0.400749	0.493653	0.450601	0.491883	0.507354	0.599251	0.506347	0.549399	0.508117
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.

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!

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.

Pola X is a beautiful adaption of Herman Melville's 'Pierre; or, the Ambiguities'.

I agree with "johnlewis", who said that there is a lot going on between the lines in this film.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Quai des Orfevres takes too long getting going, with Clouzot so enamored of his back-stage milieu that he is almost in danger of forgetting the story. However, once it does, it's Clouzot at his best.

"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.

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.

Is it a murder mystery? Is it a police procedural? Is it a back-stage look at seedy French music halls?

Greystoke is without doubt the best tarzan movie I have ever seen. Christopher Lambert portrays a very believable man trying to return to the world of mankind alongside the fantastic Ian Holm.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Instead, I found a comedy/gore classic. It was legitimately funny, and surprisingly, the acting was quite good. Even my wife, an overall horror-ha...	1pos	dpo	drdpo	drdpo	drdpo	dpo	0.404037	0.50415	0.503448	0.538983	0.480966	0.595963	0.49585	0.496552	0.461017	0.519034
If you took a really good jack black movie, added a little jeepers creepers, and then a dash of joyride with a hint of texas chainsaw massacre and house of a 1000 corpses...you would have MONSTER MAN! i went into this movie, not really expecting much at all, but i wound up really enjoying the movie. the whole premise i...	1pos	drdpo	dpo	drdpo	dpo	drdpo	0.519887	0.491517	0.537527	0.49292	0.50415	0.480113	0.508483	0.462473	0.50708	0.49585
While driving in a highway to the wedding of his beloved Betty-Ann, Adam (Eric Jungmann) is surprised by his former schoolmate Harley (Justin Urich) on the backseat of his car. Adam has broken off with the inconvenient and moron Harley because of Betty-Ann. Along their road trip, Harley makes fun of some rednecks in a ...	1pos	dpo	drdpo	drdpo	dpo	dpo	0.477432	0.508666	0.535098	0.468304	0.396535	0.522568	0.491334	0.464902	0.531696	0.603465
I saw this on Zone horror and fully expected it to be compete crap like most of the films they play , however I was pleasantly surprised. The film revolves around 2 friends and a maniac in a monster truck who is chasing them (i know it sounds crap but its actually quite good) , the film is creepy when it intends to be ...	1pos	drdpo	drdpo	drdpo	drdpo	dpo	0.510374	0.501251	0.505737	0.559771	0.477676	0.489626	0.498749	0.494263	0.440229	0.522324
Adam (Eric Jungmann) and obnoxious best friend Harley (Justin Urich) are driving cross country to a wedding. Along the way they pick up sexy hitchhiker Sarah (Aimee Brooks). Then, for no reason, a monster truck keeps trying to run them off the road...and maybe kill them. Who is doing this and why?<br /><br />Pretty goo...	1pos	dpo	dpo	dpo	drdpo	dpo	0.484258	0.499779	0.480235	0.501671	0.481698	0.515742	0.500221	0.519765	0.498329	0.518302
I first saw this on Demand. Or on TV. I'm not really sure. But this has got to be my all time favorite movie ever! I mean, this movie has blood, gore, laughs and chills through out the movie. I recently ordered "Monster Man" from Amazon and i've been watching "Monster Man" ever since i got it. Trust me, you will love t...	1pos	dpo	drdpo	drdpo	drdpo	dpo	0.487978	0.516961	0.503448	0.519887	0.433981	0.512022	0.483039	0.496552	0.480113	0.566019
In the veins of Jeepers Creepers and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Monster Man surprisingly well-made--though mindless--little horror. Throw in a little buddy-comedy, nice gore and intense scare. It's hard no to say that Monster Man is really entertaining. The low budget seem pretty obvious, but it doesn't effected the ...	1pos	drdpo	dpo	drdpo	dpo	drdpo	0.52756	0.470372	0.535341	0.497742	0.519156	0.47244	0.529628	0.464659	0.502258	0.480844
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	drdpo	dpo	dpo	dpo	drdpo	0.503052	0.4856	0.451568	0.485112	0.501564	0.496948	0.5144	0.548432	0.514888	0.498436

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	dpo	drdpo	drdpo	dpo	dpo	0.493409	0.536799	0.55929	0.453746	0.468912	0.506591	0.463201	0.44071	0.546254	0.531088
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	dpo	drdpo	drdpo	dpo	dpo	0.499741	0.547948	0.549157	0.474996	0.456894	0.500259	0.452052	0.450843	0.525004	0.543106
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	dpo	dpo	dpo	dpo	drdpo	0.474753	0.495545	0.492249	0.491212	0.521227	0.525247	0.504455	0.507751	0.508788	0.478773
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	drdpo	dpo	drdpo	dpo	drdpo	0.553023	0.453746	0.512449	0.454714	0.516595	0.446977	0.546254	0.487551	0.545286	0.483405
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 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	dpo	dpo	dpo	drdpo	dpo	0.450118	0.426799	0.430147	0.558809	0.438304	0.549882	0.573201	0.569853	0.441191	0.561696
