What has Ireland ever done | What has Ireland ever done for us? Well, the answer is "not a lot" as can be seen in the film Gypo, which depicts a family torn apart by Ireland's struggle for self-determination.<br /><br />The film starts off in a remote rural village in Western Ireland where a father takes his two sons to the funeral of an activist ... | What has Ireland ever done for the world anyway? The answer: nothing. This film will teach you all you need to know. <br /><br />All three stars. Good, bad and truly awful. The plot is a simple premise; a young couple in London (Lynn Lowry & Paul Bettany) get a crash in the snow, then meet a gorgeous and mysterious you... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 |
I can not believe such | I can not believe such a good movie can come from India. I love Bollywood movies and I have heard about this one for a long time, finally I saw it today and I was very impressed.<br /><br />This is not a typical Bollywood movie, it is very much appreciated by the more sophisticated and intelligent public. There were so... | I can not believe such a low budget movie was actually financed. It is truly sad that there are some who think it is OK to throw your money away on such utter trash.<br /><br />The movie is very very low quality throughout. The acting was horrible. The camera work could have been done better with an old VHS camcorder. ... | 0.999999 | 0.000001 |
I remember I saw this | I remember I saw this movie when i was little and it was scary! I saw it when I was around four when i was babysitting and I was afraid it was real! It seemed so real! Of course I was little then so I just thought it was real. The plot is great, but why didn't the writers write a sequel? This film is so good you can al... | I remember I saw this movie, when I was in France at 18. Then a year ago, I saw it again, on French TV, on 20 films that I liked best. I also saw it in the cinema, on the occasion of the "festival Lumiere". It was all a big surprise, because I didn't know that my brother had made this movie! Maybe for this reason, I st... | 0.489256 | 0.510744 |
John Candy. Need we say | John Candy. Need we say more? Candy plays Arthur, a guy who, despite having been out of touch with women for decades, manages to land a nice girl and get married, all via his own personal flying saucer. Once he realizes his mistake in this case, he must find a way to make things up to his wife and everyone around him. ... | John Candy. Need we say more? This is probably an acquired taste film. If you love the sight gags and the funnier moments are the most important thing to you.<br /><br />Otherwise, don't bother. John Candy's career was ruined. The end of the '40s and beginning of the '50s was the most wonderful time for the cinema. | 0.999999 | 0.000001 |
This movie appears to have | This movie appears to have been written, produced, and directed by former 6th and 7th graders. The cast of unknowns, who look (and sound) like friends off the set of "Hey Arnold!", does nothing to change that perception.<br /><br />This movie is a disaster of epic proportions. This movie has no redeeming value whatsoev... | This movie appears to have been made exclusively for the sake of the characters' and the filmmakers' narcissistic self-promotion. I wonder if the producers and writers did have some sort of point they wanted to make? If you watch the documentary that is included, you will discover that apparently some of these people a... | 0.489214 | 0.510786 |
No, not the administration of | No, not the administration of some other country's political leadership; the administration of this film. This is, after all, a film about the American presidency, not some other country's leadership. Yes, the President of the United States of America is the protagonist, not even a fictional one. The President of the U... | No, not the administration of the first Bush. My meaning here: what better way to end a series than to do a film that's 2 1/2 hours long? It's like a 70 minute made for TV movie, written by a 12 year old, directed by a 12 year old, with a cast of 12 year olds. You feel violated.<br /><br />The DVD cover and advertising... | 0.877892 | 0.122108 |

The acting is very good, so I think everyone should se... | This movie is not as good as the first, and I do not see why they made a third on.<br /><br />The characters are not the same, and neither are the settings.<br /><br />When they were filming this movie they completely changed the setting to make it worse. This movie just makes you go "wtf".<br /><br />It's stupid, the ... | 1 | 0 |
Although the director tried(the filming | Although the director tried(the filming styles and the script are kind of good in some parts) to present a very realistic situation without being too heavy and overdone, the whole movie has this kind of a sick vibe. The whole thing just seems disgusting. Especially the way they show the sexual parts of the story is a l... | Although the director tried(the filming was a challenge in a period of 20 days), the movie is far from being satisfactory. A great film with the same scenario. Also a couple of good performances, and excellent filming. The bad thing is that the director takes too much of the good stuff and so the movie becomes unbearab... | 0.219354 | 0.780646 |

The major fault in this | The major fault in this film is the lack of a believable script. I have seen enough B movies in my time, but that excuse simply does not cut it for this movie. There is a lot of action, but to see whether it is worth the time it takes to watch it, you have to consider the following:<br /><br />1. Were the characters in... | The major fault in this film is a total lack of character development. After an hour and a half, you are STILL wondering what the hell happened, who the hell is in love with who, and why the hell are some people acting like pigs. It is confusing and annoying. I'm a big fan of character driven films, but this one is a f... | 0.5 | 0.5 |
I agree with most of | I agree with most of the other commentators that I would like to see a remake or some good old fashioned Disney animation. I thought that this movie would be a perfect example of how to make a good Disney feature. Unfortunately it seems that the budget has been cut and a few other details left on the cutting room floor... | I agree with most of the other posters but would like to add that the movie fails not in not following the book closely enough as many have implied but because the story is just bad. Not many of the post-modern (not new, just more recent) writers of American fiction like Tim Krabbé have the courage to really write. Tha... | 0.516553 | 0.483447 |
LL Cool J performed much | LL Cool J performed much better in this movie than he has in any movie I've seen him in. The main thing I like about this movie is that it shows the side of the world that people don't see enough: the side where everyone is the same, no matter what they look like. Everyone is just another person, with their own problem... | LL Cool J performed much better than expected. He and Epps delivered some of the film's best drama. Jodie Foster, although her characterization was quite weak (and I think this could be done better for a comedy). Overall the film was good for some laughs. Especially good scenes would be when Epps' cop is chasing the ba... | 0.559772 | 0.440228 |
Beginning with the poster (featuring | Beginning with the poster (featuring the title character's famous and rather scary dance moves), this new 50th anniversary edition of THE INCREDIBLE BURGERMAN is probably not the best choice for a first viewing here even though this was obviously done to appeal to a younger, new-generation audience. I never saw this ... | Beginning with the poster (featuring two of the lead actors) a film which has all the ingredients for a great film, a superb director like Akira Kurasawa(although he had done worse), a script and dialogue by Yasuzo Masumura (who has done better) the rest of it goes absolutely nowhere, nowhere at all.
