Romance and Adventure with this Loch Ness story Will Laura (Joely Richardson), owner of the pub beside Loch Ness, get the man, Dr. Dempsey (Ted Danson)? It's expected from the start, when they meet in confrontation. It's about as predictable as the doctor/scientist getting the facts and a real photo of "Nessie," the m...

A great movie I generally do not appreciate "chick flicks," which is what i thought this would be, until i saw it. it was funny, romantic, and had a great deal of class as well, which is truly an achievement for a movie of this genre.julia was both funny and serious, and she truly portrayed this character ex...

Perfect I waited for months for the release of the second seson because I am definitely a fan of the show. I watched during the season so I just wanted to add the DVD to my collection.

Compared to the original motion picture, this was horrible The first "Blade Runner" was so good, especially with the story being told by Harrison Ford. The director's cut did not include this and much of the story is missed. Also, there was a scene with a unicorn...quite bizarre. If you get the original moti...

Sean Connery's Best Bond Of the six original 007 movies that Sean Connery did, I rate this one as his best. Jill St. John is a magnicifent Bond Girl, Shirley Bassey is her usual brilliant self in the theme song, Blofeld is as sinister as any villan Bond has faced and Jimmy Dean is as eccentric as Howard Hughes. On top...

Great continuation to FFVII There are over 700 reviews to this so I'll keep it short. I bought the Blu-ray version.Great movie. If you loved the game, you should love the movie. It was great to see the characters come to life in the movie. The game was such a classic but there was no voice acting in the game. I have t...

Great artistic film This film is the first thriller made in Mexico. The photography, the music, and the acting are excellent. Very sophisticated and somewhat disturbing. The story is good. The script is based on a research made by the director Daniel Gruener on witchcraft and old supernatural beliefs in Latin America....

Bloodsport is super fun I had lots of fun watching the fights in this movie, the were wicked, I wish JCVD would make more movies like this and the Quest. If you like fighting or martial arts watch it

A refreshing and new kind of animated feature I believe this movie might go down in history as the one that cemented computer animated features as a viable and artistic form of film. Sure, Toy Story was the first, but as an overall package (writing, character depth, plot, lack of childishness and sterotypes, etc.) Mr....

Bring a tissue. What can you say about a movie that was nearly perfect. Right from the beginning you get a feeling for who exactly William Wallace is. Seeing how the Scots were persecuted by the English was upsetting. Even more upsetting because it happened. It's hard to understand that one person could do so much jus...

Planet of the Apes tv series I thought the tv series was very interesting in that it was comical in a good way. Unlike the movies, the whole family could watch the shows together. There were some intense moments but all in all, the shows were watchable. Granted some people may not be as interested in the series as the...

Better than expected When I found out that Lucas and Peyton were off the show, I was very disappointed.I did not think they would be able to coninue the show well without those 2 characters. But, with the new characters, the show is still as amazing as its always been. Very entertaining season, I could not stop watchi...

Crap, pure and simple Let me get to the point, this movie is a waste of 2 hours.Period.I watched it on DVD along witgh a friend of mine and all we were both yawning about 20 minutes into the movie; this continued until the end.My biggest compaints:- John Woo's obsession with slow-motion shots. I hate them. And in this...

Other reviews talk about the cliches, but I disagree... I suppose there were "cliches" in this flick. But they were appropriate. Brashear was an extraordinary man. He rose above inestimable odds. His life is an inspiration. Cliche-ish? I suppose. But makes for a great movie.This movie was a powerful message ...

Not a beautiful movie. I didn't care for Crazy/Beautiful with Kirsten Dunst and Jay Hernandez, totally over-rated and there was no passion, just two teens all over eachother. Dunst is not a spectacular actress like everyone thinks she is, she's not sexy whatsoever, she tries really hard to be in this film, flashing he...

Liked the movie? You'll LOVE the DVD! "The Matrix" is destined to join that pantheon of cult classic Sci-Fi movies, like Blade Runner and Tron. The story, to non-SciFi fans, is probably predictable and weak. But the environment created to tell the story is very deep. With two, count 'em -- two, sequels in th...

"Wake up. Time to die." Length:: 4:12 MinsSorry about the quality (or lack thereof) of the video segment; I had like 15 minutes to git 'er done and this was the only take where I didn't blank out and stare at the camera for half a minute.So "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" is finally here after over 25 years of waiting a...

Landmark film Excellent print with previously deleted scenes included help make this movie more accessible than previous versions. This is a landmark film in the history of cinema and should be viewed as such. Would suggest to those interested to get a copy of the Lillian Gish book about D.W.Griffith and read it prior...

Waste of 2 or so hours of my life I can just imagine the writer's thought-process:"Let's see, we've got massive tornados in L.A., tidal wave engulfing NYC, an almost immediate deep-freeze that kills instantly, and a sick character who needs medication or she will die, what could make this better? Wolves! Yes, we need ...

Weepers Sleepers The pain is almost palpable...I'm referring, of course, to storyline, not the acting of "pain" in this film.I was sort of settling myself in the mood of watching a good horror film with my fiancee, after having told her that what I heard; it sounded good...and squirmed with embarrassment as ...

Resident's Point of View As a mormon and a resident of Brigham City, I loved this movie. The acting was great, and there are a few shortcomings in the writing, but you would never notice them unless you were looking for faults. The movie is very accurate to the traditions of Brigham City and it's large mormon populati...

4th season...Not the best, but keeps you wathcing. In this season, so much comes into play that you see later on in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. Oz leaves, Willow discovers her lesbian sexuality, they all go to collage (except for Xander). Buffy meets Riely,and discover the Iniciative. So much happens in this ...

Greatest Bond of them all.... Definitely the best of the James Bond films....the editor-turned-director wanted to make a Bond film like no other and certainly succeeded--with faster cutting in the action scenes, on-location shooting, less emphasis on gadgets, a more serious tone and a somewhat depressing ending, the n...

More fun than most fighting anime - or movies Ayane's High Kick is a smart, entertaining comic anime. It doesn't really break new ground in the genre, and its ending leaves you hanging, but the character designs are appealing, the plot doesn't become boring, the humor is effective, and the fighting scenes are remarkab...

Amazing artistic accomplishment All elements of this film were beautifully crafted and expertly performed. An ingenious concept: the obscenity trial, the biographical background, the recreation of the words and emotions and the fifties. Excellent work by the director, the actors and the visual artists. A fascinating g...

*N Sync are my space cowboys Irrespective of the fact the only 2 songs I can get emotionally invested in are "Tearin' Up My Heart" and "It's Gonna Be Me." It was an overall great concert and consequently a great DVD. It has over 30 camera angles, the costume changes were great, the "I Got Paid" performance was a bit d...

A world long lost, twice removed from our own... Noel Coward's homage to the bygone era of Edwardian England. A long and somewhat lumpy script tracks one upper-upper class family's trials through 1899-1933, as their paths intersect the Boer War, WWI, and the Titanic... Oddly enough, considering Coward's bon vivant tem...

Special Edition Review I see that some of the reviews below must refer to an older release of the disc. The Special Edition is a single sided disc. The opening menu provides the viewer with the option to watch the film as it was shown in cinemas or to watch it with extra footage (the default setting).I find this film ...

This show is BIG!! People!!! Let me tell you something. This show is BIG!!!! It's Paul Stanley documented on stage and in person!

good scenery, but not very interesting. This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.Coup de Torchon, known also as "Clean Slate" is better translated as "Wipe of the Cloth" as a cloth would clean a slate chalkboard.This film is set in the year 1938 on the eve of World War II...

A must for monster fans I likely missed a lot of "in jokes" and/or political references due to The Host being a Korean film (in addition, I cannot read the signs and other visual cues that may or may not exist throughout the movie). The monster looks great. The visual effects are far better than I was lead to believe ...

Michael, do you renounce Satan? 'The Godfather, Part II' is often considered the best sequel ever made. Although it is a powerful and moving story, the film has deep flaws that are not revealed upon initial viewings. First of all, the movie has many of the fine qualities that made the original movie a classic. All the...

Good plot, good film, hedious adaptation Tom Clancy knows how to make vivid and realistic stories, because he walked in the halls of power and really understands about politics, the military and secret services.

Sheer delight I may not be as well versed in the technical end of Disney movies but this film is my favorite Disney film. I originally saw it during its initial theatrical release when I was a child. I maintain that the detail in the scenes is amazing. The clocks in Gepetto's shop are a wonderful experience itself. Th...

Real history.... without all the propoganda. I've only gotten through the first 3 DVD's of the set, but from what I've seen so far, this is an excellent documentary. It's ironic that the economic conditions that led to Hitler's rise to power mirror those here in the U.S. The fact that so many are willing to give up th...

Yes, it's depressing-that's what's great about it. It's also honest-something people avoid if things might get messy. People cheat-it happens every day. The lighting, music and slow pacing only accentuate the melacholy mood of the film. I love depressing movies-music too. There's no escaping the truth for these charac...

Very Disappointed First off, did everyone read the book. I did, and it was a great book, very detailed, loved it. Maybe it's just me but I wanted to see all the characters from the novel. Everyone and everything Astrid came in touch with. She didn't even have the scars on her body from the dog attack, which was very s...

Suspense More than a Bloodbath Dirty Harry is credited with reinvigorating the police crime drama. Eastwood is the quintessential no-nonsense cop who values common sense above procedure.

An outstanding classic starring Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard What can go wrong in a movie produced by David Selznick, and starring Jimmy Stewart and Carole Lombard? The answer is nothing, nothing at all. The movie (1939) is brilliantly directed by John Cromwell, sets the stage for future classics such as "Penny Se...

A beloved trip down memory lane In the Summer of '69, I was in broadcasting school in Atlanta (I was a DJ back when it was fun).

Top notch nature doc I have seen many documentaries about the Galapagos islands and I find this one to be the most vivid and engaging. It is a fascinating overview and the filmakers have captured a cornocopia of dazzling displays of life in this "one of a kind" place. It's a shorter presentation than the heavyweight B...

A creepy review of Predator This movie: awesome...Except for the face of Jessie Ventura, it's a flawless action alien blow-up flic.

Seminal to UFO 'Abduction' Mythology This film is wonderfully cheap, awkward, and earnest. The director has a few successful scenes where a creepy mood is achieved, and there is a kind of plausibility throughout if one is able to accept the concept of an entire universe contained on studio back lots with virtually no ...

A Goal For All Aspiring Filmmakers Only a genius like Smith could go from film-school dropout to one of the most talented and honest filmmakers of the decade over the course of three films. First we have "Clerks," Smith's low-budget gem inspired by Richard Linklater's "Slacker" which he paid for by...

Loved It!!! I saw this movie at our theater. And let me say It was brilliant! My friends and I are still talking about it and we saw it almost 1 month ago. I am 14, and I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan, and I would do anything to see this movie again!

It was cool! I really dont understand why so many people hated it? Ok, I can understand that it wasnt very faithful to the book like "Interview With The Vampire" was. But Stuart Townsend And Aaliyah, suprisingly, did a good job. I think that if you see this movie without expecting it to be like the book, the...

Funny and Funnier Everytime I view this classic comedy I am more entertained with it. The first time through watching this film many find their sides hurting later that day.

Betty Davis Eyes Academy awards flew for Joseph L. Mankiewicz's homage to the "Theatre," All About Eve. His script is brilliant all the way to the last revelation. Betty Davis and young Anne Baxter play it to the hilt. Are they overacting? Well, they do play stage creatures, and Davis' swish thrills the gay community ...

Could've been a lot better than this I didn't really like the first "Star-Wars" trilogy, however, this movie is lowering bad-taste to new depthes. The plot is silly and the jokes insult the intelligence. The 2 adult main actors are too good for this movie, and their talent is wasted in the general lousiness....

overrated pablum Lots of people apparently consider this movie "fun". Lots of people apparently consider this movie "good". What am I missing?

The Evil Men Do Lives after Them I rented "Incendies" because it was a nominee for the Best Foreign Language Oscar. I've seen a lot of good films from that category and "Incendies" is one of the best. This film is not for the weak of heart. It deals with the basest of human failures and it leaves the viewer emotionall...

A triumph of DVD technologies... I always watch DVD movies through my laptop, enjoying better visual quality than on TV set.

Favorite mini-series (?) for a great price I consider WInds of War and it's sequel, War and Remembrance, as one giant series, which is why I put the "?" in my review title.

Wow This is a great movie! The acting and direction is superb and the characters are realistic, even seeming like ordinary people off the street.

Nice re-imagining of Fahrenheit 451 - until the 2nd half This starts out as a quirky, interesting, slow attack on corporate and suburban life, which is ruined by the 2nd half.
