Powell is his cl... | While being a great James Stewart fan I gave this movie a shot. The story line was well written and Stewart and Novak gave decent performances. But I think the real problem with this movie is the direction. I didn't feel that it was all that interesting, nor was the story or any of the characters. Maybe if they'd cut o... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 |
This movie is flawed on | This movie is flawed on so many levels I don't even know where to start. It's such an insult to see that a movie this poorly written can be accepted by so many people. The concept is a waste of one's imagination. The script makes you gag. The characters are stereotyped and boring. It has so much potential, but at the e... | This movie is flawed on two counts: it relies on 1940s stereotypes of African-Americans, and it suffers from the fact that it was made in just one week. I thought at first it was a black and white version of the 1998 film Baby Boy, which I've already hated on for being cliched and cliched. When I did some research on t... | 0.493141 | 0.506859 |
Slow and riddled with inaccuracy. | Slow and riddled with inaccuracy. In terms of historical accuracy this film is a complete joke. The worst inaccuracies I've seen come from the movie 1688. Some things simply never happened, but in this film there are some absurdities that are truly unforgivable. The ending in particular was laughable! How did this movi... | Slow and riddled with inaccuracy. Most of the characters are supposed to be played by their actual selves as young men, but every one has a middle aged or older man playing that character as young. For example, Michael Jordan supposedly has the parts of the young men playing Michael Jordan and his father playing Michae... | 0.494103 | 0.505897 |
This film, The Alamo:Thirteen Days | This film, The Alamo:Thirteen Days to Glory,is a fantastic mini-series that should be watched by everyone, not just historians! It is based on James Daubeney's book that is the most complete historical account that I have ever read of what occurred during the Alamo and what led up to it, and the film has an excellent p... | This film, The Alamo:Thirteen Days to Glory, is the best film to come out of this great Texas State. The film stars Billy Bob, who is truly an amazing actor, as Jim Bowie. David Keith, a phenomenal actor, is Col. Travis and Scott Glenn, also an excellent actor, plays Col. Fannin.

The story by Norman Maclean | The story by Norman Maclean, which I saw years after this movie was made, may be one of the best novels I have ever read. It's not a novel for everybody. As a long series of flashbacks, it's very difficult to tell exactly what's going on. For me it has all the important elements - love, loneliness, freedom, childhood, ... | The story by Norman Maclean is one of my all-time favorites, but it is so overdone that to watch him relive his boyhood without the context, the music and the scenery just wasn't enough for me. The novel is so filled with beautiful images and so full of story, how could I not want to witness how the story unravels? One... | 0.610908 | 0.389092 |
The only good part about | The only good part about this movie are the good special effects. Some of the movie is actually clever, but the movie is also extremely stupid at times. The biggest problem with the movie is that it does not really make sense. Many times, things just happen and you can't even explain it. In many cases, the events are i... | The only good part about this movie is how unenthusiastic I was about the whole thing. It took place in a series of seemingly random and meaningless places, which were connected only because they appeared in the same movie. You can't tell what year any of the action is supposed to take place during, how many people are... | 0.499518 | 0.500482 |

I always felt that a | I always felt that a great movie, the one who will be remembered for forever, is a movie, not simply entertaining, but one that you can deeply feel empathy and compassion for.

A great plot. 2. Suspense. 3. A little gore.<br /><br />Well, to me, the Exorcist meets this three points better then any other horror film. No doubt about that.

It is set in Italy and Malta. However the plot is stupid and uninteresting. The story is about a woman who's in a hospital because she was in a car accident.

It could have ... | The five or so really good actors in the movie are made to look like crap by a horrible director who cannot even give a believable performance.
