This film has got several | This film has got several names attached to it so I thought well, "Worst Case Scenario" is in production, isn't an Emmy Winner and that is what we're going to be watching. You and I are in for a hell of a ride.<br /><br />First off, there was something on the DVD cover and it said that the film contained "Vivid Sexscen... | This film has got several good elements, especially the music. However it completely fails in bringing the characters to life. They are just caricatures of different stereotypes. No actor comes close to really acting. Everyone is way way overdoing the acting and just being completely camp. There is no depth, emotion is... | 0.680057 | 0.319943 |
You may want to know | You may want to know why I am rating this film 8/10.<br /><br />I have never been to Russia, but I am very familiar with the culture.

You should not bother seeing it at all. The movie is really a very bad remake of a truly great 2007 movie named "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" I had expected the film to have great special effects and some pretty good actin... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 |
This film, though ostensibly a | This film, though ostensibly a love story, is in truth a tragedy. Both lovers, it seems, are destined to be apart, caught in the vise of the past. The first hint of doom was the scene in which the young couple were shown the scene where the dead lover had been stabbed to death for being a desert drop-out. The scene in ... | This film, though ostensibly a vehicle for a few great music groups both past and present, is a very flawed effort with a lame plot and script that are totally impossible to take seriously or even like. Though a few of the musical segments work just fine, the film fails so miserably at being anything other than a vehic... | 0.999997 | 0.000003 |
The main reason people still | The main reason people still praise "Midnight Cowboy" is because it's among the last films of the '60s to push the envelope. If there was a more mainstream example of how the decade ended, I can't think of it.<br /><br />The plot, like "Goodnight, and Goodluck" and most others that came out in the wake of that awful ye... | The main reason people still bother to see this film is because it won an Academy Award, making a lot of people over the age of...6 or so believe that the film must be good.

It was meant to be | It was meant to be a little piece of fun, something light which the guys had time to put together between their various commitments in the Army. What they got was a serious, disturbing film with a message which hasn't dated well over the twenty-five years since its release. It's also one of the most thought-provoking a... | It was meant to be an innocent spoof of the original The Ring, but director Todd Sheets got a bit too serious. The cast struggles through ridiculous material, as they try to give some feeling to their one-dimensional caricatures of classic horror movie characters. When the plot starts to twist and turn we follow the sa... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 |
This movie is one of | This movie is one of my favorites. John Savage and Charles Bronson did an incredible job in the film. I'm amazed at the fact that these 2 men never got the opportunity to star in another film together. This film has the best scene in the whole film. The shot over the hill was amazing. | This movie is one of the worst movies to come out of the 1980s. Its premise is good. It has that sci-fi feel to it and a great lead performance by Michael Dudikoff (John Larroquette as Sgt. Callahan in Seinfeld). What really sucks is the horrible movie, script and story. The plot is so simple that it's laughable. The e... | 1 | 0 |
This sounded like a really | This sounded like a really good idea, and it was at the very beginning. The 3 leads were all very good. The concept of a young girl getting the power to create living clay statues, had great potential. But this movie fell way short of realizing it. I really felt that the movie did it self in at least 3 ways. First, I d... | This sounded like a really good film when it was originally supposed to come out. Now, it is just a bad movie.

It's hard for me to say, because I am a fan of his movies in general, but it is his most accessible film yet.

Uma Thurman is... | I'm not sure this is the best kind of comedy, but with Billy Crystal it's certainly on the right track. It doesn't have a major plot to it although the main point is that the writer/director is being stalked by characters from his first comedy.

However, by the end I was completely bored and re... | This movie was so badly made I can hardly express my consternation. If the makers had the money and resources to make this movie, they could have easily pulled out a budget for a decent film crew.
