I'm not an aficionado of scary, slasher flicks. But Halle Berry is too much of a Babe to pass up in GOTHIKA. Besides, my Mom, a former prison psychiatrist, wanted to see it.Berry plays Dr. Miranda Grey, a shrink on the staff of a women's penitentiary that has all the ambience of a Transylvanian castle. Driving home on ... | 34 stars |
First I'd like to say that, not only is this movie as low budget as it get's, the dvd format used doesn't even work in all dvd players. Luckily I rented this before I bought it, and was able to get my money back. If you want a movie that is sumized in ten minutes but then takes the rest of the movie to replay that ten ... | 01 star |
OMG just great from start to end, Tyler Perry out did his self with this one Job well done. LOve It | 45 stars |
Bridging the gap between George Romero's average NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD and his magnum opus, DAWN OF THE DEAD, this little Spanish/Italian co-production is a diamond in the rough and is often forgotten about. I mean, when asked to name the great directors of zombie films, Jorge Grau rarely comes to mind. The plot is ... | 34 stars |
Years ago I saw Nicholas Cage's `8 MM,' which was a pretty bad film, leaving some nasty taste in my mouth. Then someone still remembered this forgettable film, and decided to re-use the title again to lure the unsuspecting viewers like me. The fact is, `8MM 2'was originally called `The Velvet Side of Hell' another forg... | 01 star |
Love it! thank you. They are great to do business with. Thank you emailing me and for shipping so quickly!!!!!! | 45 stars |
I love South Park and this is one of my favorite seasons, because of the succubus episode (actually turns out to be a foreshadowing of events to come for Chef). There are plenty of other hysterical moments and I do recommend including it in your South Park collection. | 45 stars |
The quintessential Pam Grier film. In an era where white producers were rolling black films through an assmebly line like process, every blue moon, one would transend it's stereotypical script and give birth to a true star. Pam Grier takes the paper thin plot (a slightly twisted woman who goes on a vigilante crusade ag... | 34 stars |
You know the saying "you want things done right, you have to do it yourself?" That's Jack Bauer. Fighting off terrorists and preventing attacks while dodging death, all in a 24 hour period. His harsh methods have many questioning his motives, but usually getting the results needed in the end, which makes him the best a... | 45 stars |
Wall-E is one of those rare movies, where everything goes right. And this DVD is brilliant. Thanks for sending it to me as promised, mint in package! | 45 stars |
Sugary-sweet and woefully lame, The Bachelor stumbles on its way to the altar. Chris O'Donnell stars as a good-natured guy who adores his adorable girlfriend (Renee Zellweger), but just can't commit to her, just can't work himself into a marrying man. And so she leaves. Unfortunately, it's right about now that O'Donnel... | 12 stars |
Intriguing, amusing and full of Zen moments. This documentary has profound depth- on the surface the film appears to be about cooking but the koan of the film is without a definite answer. One can find oneself exploring awareness, stillness, meditation, ritual and even cooking. Roshi Ed Brown encourages us to explore f... | 45 stars |
When you're watching this movie, you get the eerie feeling that all is not as it seems, which in the end, turns out to be true. "Never Let Me Go" isn't what I'd classify as an 'entertaining' movie but rather a film that takes what is possible in this day of modern science marvels and turns it into a disturbing reality.... | 23 stars |
Christopher Titus is a brilliant comedian. He perfectly understands the problems that crop up in relationships and makes them funny. Great laughs!! | 45 stars |
I have nothing against the idea of turning a classic television show into a theatrical film. Such films can work in extremely different ways (e.g., "The Fugitive," "The Brady Bunch," Charlie's Angels"), although they are the exception rather than the rule (e.g., "The Beverly Hillbillies," "The Wild Wild West," "Leave I... | 12 stars |
Average at best. Nice cinematography alone does not do the trick. The few action scenes felt like slow motion. If you like to watch Jolie or Depp, this may be something for you. Otherwise, do not waste your time. | 12 stars |
This movie gets blown way out of what it is due to the really negative reviews, I actually thought it was a pretty good film. The thing that hurt this movie the most was what everyone else has said, Lex Luthor was horrible. They completely got rid of the serious and tough Lex seen on TAS and replaced him with a joke. T... | 34 stars |
It is hard to conceive that this film could have been done better. Eastwood is excellent as an actor and as the director. The story is based on a novel by Michael Connelly who is a marvelous writer. The disclosures, little by little, are masterly done. There is no wasted moments. The film moves forward without fluf as ... | 45 stars |
The story is told in such a lousy way! We are left to guess why the aliens are invading or killing the humans. Why wait thousands of years to resurface? The end is ridiculous, totally lacking in imagination. The high tech stuff is second grade; we have seen this in many many previous films before. Some "suspense" parts... | 01 star |
... while watching monster i couldnt take my eyes off the screen. The movie is a very emotional rollorcoaster and let me tell you its INTENSE. zach and i were kinda shocked about how intense the film was. After watching the film i could not stop thinking about it, the film moved me so much and while watching i could se... | 45 stars |
It's been an up and down year for horror movies, and I'm going to stick this one right in the middle of all of them. It's really not a bad little horror movie, but it has alot of flaws and some credibilty issues. The two leads are great, I really enjoyed both of them, specifically our female lead, Lindy Booth, she is g... | 23 stars |
The Last Legion is a wonderful tale of the search for the last true Romans in the far hinterlands of the Roman Empire at a time when Rome itself had fallen to the barbarians. It provides a view of how people lived in early Britain and the mythos of that far off time. The introduction of "Merlin" the teacher and the you... | 45 stars |
This is a great movie. The love that this couple shares at the beginning is wonderful and it makes you believe in how aman can really love a woman that thinks and works and has a mind of her own. The roller coaster ride of events thatthey go on keep you guessing. I rented it for $1.99 and it was well wortth it. I inten... | 45 stars |
this is one hell of a movie. it takes the good qualities of all his previous movies and excludes the bad ones. His chinese movies were action packed with awesome martial arts, but with out any cars, guns, or quads it didnt seem like "now". then all of jet li's american films focused too much on talk and not e... | 34 stars |
With little fanfare, MGM has quietly transferred a handful of great B films to DVD that they not too arbitrarily categorize as "Midnight Movies." The nice looking digital prints are in their original theatrical format and appear as if they were taken from original material. The discs come with no substantial extras but... | 23 stars |
This movie is not only boring, but DEFINATELY NOT worth a five star rating. I have seen many, many of the classics and it is not up to par with any of them. If you watch both evil Dead movies...it does not make any sense. Ash drives up to the cabin with his girlfriend Linda in the first movie. He beheads her with her a... | 01 star |
I saw this film a few years back and then once again recently. This is a definite watch for everyone.The film is emotional, brutally honest, gripping and changed the way i thought of whale sharks forever.Its not only a story but a documentation of what was happening to the whale sharks without the government knowing, w... | 45 stars |
God save us from the dysfunctional and unfunny group in this outdated film. Not even the normally watchable William Powell can revive this old wheeze. And the whinging, whimpering and wailing of Carole Lombard is enough to make one homicidally inclined long before the flick is over. | 01 star |
My wife begged me for this for Christmas. Once I got it for her, we have continually laughed. To me, a future Seinfeld-type reputation should ensue for this comedy series. And Penny certainly doen't hurt the eyes, either, know what I mean? | 45 stars |
An intense movie about a freelance cameraman struggling with life in the city. He is a complete vulture how films the horrors of life and sells them to the highest bidding local news station.While in a drugged state he sees a crime in progress and grabs his camera to document it and happens upon three men tearing a wom... | 23 stars |
This is the second Walter Hill movie I've seen recently, and I believe I'm getting the hang of it. At least as far as his westerns go. Hill takes as his subject matter a larger-than-life character, in this case the Apache warrior Geronimo, and embellishes the facts to fit a larger truth. I say that without sarcasm or d... | 34 stars |
Based on Damon Runyon's 1929 short story "Madame La Gimp," Frank Capra's POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES is a remake of his own 1933 motion picture, LADY FOR A DAY (VHS) (DVD). This was Capra's last film and the final screen appearance for both Thomas Mitchell and slapstick era clown 'Snub' Pollard. Conversely, Ann-Margret made ... | 45 stars |
I saw this movie on TV ages ago, and I loved it and found it on here for a great price! It came very quickly and I watched it right away. The cast is full of my favorite stars of that time. There are good songs and a cute storyline. I would recommend it to anyone who loves musicals. | 45 stars |
This dvd is an excellent deal for the price! And as a new dvd it was packaged and in great shape. I would recommend buying from this dealer any time. The item also arrived sooner than I thought it would. Jack Bauer fans, if you don't already have the first season, pick it up here. | 45 stars |
It was a pretty good movie.it had me rooting for the good guys.it was suspenseful and rewarding. i was disappointed in the end. the producers should have left well enough alone and kept the hero intact.here is where the movie lost some credibility. the lead actors friend had his apartment(where the evidence was) B&E;'d... | 34 stars |
I'm going to break the trend of a life time on Amazon now and comment on the actual item in question the blu ray disk of the movie "Last Tango in Paris" and not the movie itself. The good news is the film has a had a very subtle remastering for blu ray with the studio being sensitive to the source material while keepin... | 34 stars |
A UFC movie about bruddas from the neighborhood with hard luck stories and hearts o'gold. One's a physics teacher and the other's a war hero, both spawned by Nick Nolte, a wife-bashing drunk who has seen the light. A lunk head's dream. It goes on and on and on until it milks every white-trash mythology that can be cram... | 23 stars |
Adam green had a idea which came to him after his ski trips, that he used to take with his family. If the ski slopes operated only on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, what would happen if you were stranded on a ski lift on Sunday night and the operators would not be returning until the following weekend? This is the premis... | 34 stars |

Horrorfest 2007 did not make it to the Zenith City, so I had to wait for last year's offerings to come out on DVD to be able to check them out, going the one a night route this time around. One of the interesting things about going to see the original 8 films 2 die 4 in the theater was the order in which I saw the film... | 34 stars |
Review? Oh, I wouldn't call it that. An informed opinion, perhaps, or maybe a fan's commendation, but definitely not a review. I've seen all of the "classic" nicholson films one or more times, but this is the one that haunts me. It slaps me on the cheek when I'm not looking, and pinches my ass when I am. Part... | 45 stars |
I like Guy Ritchie movies (except Revolver) and this one delivers. Like "Lock, Stock & 2 smoking barrels" & "Snatch" a good cast with a move around story line. Choice. | 34 stars |
This is a good film and the first werewolf film. Yes the plot does wander a bit and the odd humor sticks out in a few scenes, but if you are reading this that probably does not matter to you.The werewolf makeup is minimalistic, yet very effective, and realistic. While this film has its flaws it paved the way for many m... | 34 stars |
I got tired of reading how this movie supposedly painted the lesbian community in a dull, negative, underdeveloped light.You know why you feel this? Because this movie was NOT about the lesbian community. It was about a single lesbian and a guy's romantic endevors (sp?). It had nothing to do with the community as a who... | 34 stars |
I began collecting VHS & DVDs around 2001 - and it wasn't until a few years ago I realized an ongoing theme or genre to my films - 75% of them were CONTROVERSIAL in nature. HORROR, DRAMA, COMEDY, ACTION. CULT. CLASSIC, B MOVIE whatever the main genre, the film itself Raised some brows. Spawned some protests, Angered so... | 45 stars |
It was An under rated movie. Remembered this movie from my childhood. Was very hard to find. Love it still. | 45 stars |
Surprising little story about computer software theft with different partners involved. David Paymer was never better, Casper never handsomer, and the various characters were spot on -- well casted, well executed, well produced all around. | 45 stars |
At first glance, John Wayne's 1953 western, "Hondo", bears a remarkable similarity to another 1953 release, George Stevens' classic, "Shane". Both films open with an iconic stranger appearing out of the wilderness, spotted first by a young, impressionable boy. Both title characters arrive at homesteads in need of an 'e... | 34 stars |
A gorgeous blond who can physically be funny with a raunchy twist (the story is from her point of view), so get ready for "female" type jokes. I love her facial expressions and the way she can smoothly switch from confident sexy lady to a down and trodden miserable woman who can let it all out! Hooray for Jenny for bei... | 34 stars |

I'm an all time fan of "I love Lucy" and for those of you who are too, you will appreciate the classic tv show that has made millions of people laugh. I cannot get enough of this show and am ever so grateful that this was restored onto DVD's because of the excellent quality and there are no edited parts. | 45 stars |
**1/2 "Flight of the Phoenix" is at best a so-so remake of the fine Robert Aldrich adventure classic from1965. The plot in both films is fairly simple and straightforward. After a plane crash lands in the Gobi Desert, the survivors hit upon the notion of rebuilding the damaged vehicle in the hopes of flying it back to ... | 12 stars |
Awesome show too realistic and scarry but you cant stop watching! Cant wait for new season to begin. Walking Dead season 3 | 45 stars |
This film takes it's place right in the tough cop films of the seventies. I place it right in with the likes of The French Connection; Dirty Harry; Magnum Force and Death Wish. Another plus is the movies great sondtrack. | 45 stars |
Not particularly well done and boring at times. Keira Knightley is wasted in her role and Steve Carell is well Steve Carell which means he plays a variation of the same character as in every movie he has been in. Connie Britton does a good job in a brief appearance but she wisely and quickly bolted from this melodramat... | 23 stars |
I love the Greek Mythology, The frist movie the "Clash of The titans" was very good and this was just as good keeping the tradition of the segall. | 34 stars |
Very slow paced with a lot of talking and no action. I usually love action thrillers but would not rent any further episodes. | 01 star |
Reviews of this movie usually start with "don't be fooled, this is not a Carpenter's movie."I wasn't fooled. Since Carpenter put his signature on Vampires and Ghosts of Mars, he could easily do that here as well because movie is equally stupid and infantile as these previous two. What makes these people do movies this ... | 01 star |
I give this one 5 stars, it's about damn time these producers put out something worth watching. Good sound track, good photography... Over all, a good modest thought provoking film, not the usual endless gun fighting, car chases, and explosions every other minute. Well done! | 45 stars |
Okay i remember when this was advertised in the theater, and i remember that i really wanted to see it, because i quite enjoyed the first one. I think my Aunt or sumbody got this for me at Christmas Time the year it came out and i watched it rite after we opened all of our present. i was so ready for it, i was ready to... | 01 star |
As an avid camper who usually videotapes her trips, this has got to be one of the scariest films to date. Despite the realism the footage and characters portrayed, an open mind is no match for the sinister "Blair Witch". On a personal note, after deliberately viewing the film at 3:00 in the afternoon, I never... | 45 stars |
At this point the Asian horror genre is somewhat tired due to American remakes of the Ring & The Grudge, followed by their sequels. The first Grudge came at a time when we were still intrigued by this creepy, robotic moving ghost girl which led to a decent film. The second was pretty much the same deal with a little le... | 01 star |
I did enjoy the film. The story line is fractured and needs to be fully developed. Would be interesting to see this script developed as a stage play and really give the characters a full back-story. | 23 stars |
Those people who gave it one,two, or three stars need to be locked away and shot (well not really) because this movie was great | 45 stars |
I personally haven't watched this show, but my mom & dad LOVE it! They have the 1st Season so I sent them the 2nd Season for Christmas. When you don't know what to give someone, the Season collections make a good gift. | 45 stars |
If anything in "Diplomaniacs" makes sense to you, you are one step ahead of the game. Here is a movie that completely exist within its own world. Nothing in the movie is even in the slightest bit believeable. You could say this movie is delightfully ridiculous. It is as zany and offbeat as a Marx Brothers comedy or a B... | 34 stars |
Like my review title says: Superb writing and pacing of the entire show, and especially episode #10, Ssn 2. Holder and Linden's bond strengthens. Holder is the MAN in this episode. The "tweaker" shows his stuff, and is of incredible substance. I don't want to spoil things, so that's why I'm remaining vague. The possibi... | 45 stars |
I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is way bet- ter than the first one. It's completely different and surprsing. But it's not as scary as Scream or The Blair Witch Project. I liked it, and I recomm- end it. | 34 stars |
It really does matter who is doing the violence. If this were a clearer story about a victim dying a terrible death at the hands of criminals who then went on to smear her reputation posthumously by claiming that she slept around, it wouldn't change how absolutely breathtaking and satisfying Noah Taylor's vengeance is.... | 34 stars |
After seeing this film, you may well feel like the famous Prince of Denmark in one of his less optimistic moods. Whilst this is really no masterpiece, it is a most interesting, and above all else, disturbing experience to watch. I haven't read the book, so I can't make any comparisons here, but taken on its own, as I h... | 34 stars |
I love this movie!It's a wonderful, love story. Probably one of my favorite movies. I actually recorded this movie thinking it was the other Jersey Girl movie with Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck. I totally liked this one better. The girls voice was completely annoying, along with her choice of style. But all in all, this mo... | 34 stars |
Just another one of those movies. A bunch of young kids travelling somewhere and get cut up into pieces because some psycho wants their organs. Neither scary nor educational(Tommy, you are taking Anatomy 101, and believe me, this movie doesn't help you pass that class!). Many scenes are too dark to tell what happened. ... | 12 stars |
Do you really read those 5 paragraph reviews? It was a Friday night, I chose this movie and I enjoyed it. | 34 stars |
Surprisingly enough, the remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" is more enjoyable than the original. The overall setting and plot are very similar. A normal, lovable family is traveling through the Nevada desert. Their vehicle breaks down and they are beset upon by cannibals. However, the remake has more details (and I'm not ... | 34 stars |
I bought this dvd a while ago under ten bucks.Now it's 30.00 or higher WHY??? i contacted Sony,they have no idea why this title is hard to find,and easy to find,then hard to find again.what is going on with this dvd title? and Rosemary's Baby must be OOP, that to is sky high Attention Movie studios,stop the insanity!!!... | 45 stars |
A comedic view of major league baseball.The Cleveland Indians are in last place, and the new owner wants them to loose, so she can relocate the team to a different city. Without revealing the details of the movie, a team of misfits gel together to win their division. The antics of the players, including some romance pr... | 45 stars |
I'm so glad this show came back for atleast 1 more season. I hope they make season 5 now. This show is a classic. | 45 stars |
I thought this would be an entertaining post apocalyptic thriller, but instead far too much time is spent with the hero thinking he's going crazy, visiting his schizophrenic mom, and developing the small folksy hometown feel of this small Ohio town. I watched 45 minutes and all that happened is the hero had a few bad d... | 01 star |
This weekend I watched The Way Home starring Dean Cain. It's the true story of a family who is preparing to go on vacation when something awful happens. Dean stars as the dad, Randy Simpkins, who is too wrapped up in his work to take time with his family like he should. Randy was supposed to be watching their 2 year ol... | 34 stars |
"The Shadow Riders" is an entertaining western typical of Sam Elliott and/or Tom Selleck. If you like novels by Louis L'Amour you will like this adventure. | 34 stars |
I do not blame this film for being what it is. It's a good film. However, I do not agree with the critics who heaped praise upon it so lavishly. It was a very, very good film, but not a five star film. There is nothing here beyond "Pulp Fiction." I read an interview with one of the actors saying how the viole... | 34 stars |
You sold me Blues Brothers 2000, And it is garbage. My DVD player tells me that it is a regional error. You sold me a video that is worthless in my area. I tell all my friends about it. And for them not to buy anything from you ever again. The other Blues Brother DVD would stop and we were lucky to be able to see the e... | 01 star |
This movie rocked! A must for the serious Punisher fan; a treat for the casual fan.Even my wife, who has never read a comic book, nor even heard of the Punisher before we saw the Thomas Jane film, loved it. She liked 'War Zone' so much she suggested seeing it again, the following afternoon!You'll laugh, you'll cry, you... | 45 stars |
I love the show, but was horrified to discover that Weeds, which I originally watched in High Definition on Showtime, is shown only in 4:3 aspect ratio, old-style tv format on this DVD. This cuts off the left and right side of the picture. If you have an old set, maybe it won't matter to you, but the default for DVDs i... | 01 star |
Millionaire's private plane with bratty 13-yr.-old daughter and father's friends aboard is struck by lightning knocking pilots unconscious, leaving it up to the daughter, Nicole, to fly the plane and land it safely. This movie has parts borrowed from other movies, but that's ok: private plane (Airport '77), daughter on... | 23 stars |
This was a great movie! I wish they renamed the title of A Tale of Two Sisters. Because it did remind me of that movie while I was watching it. I love Emily Browning in this movie! She is my favorite actress. I would love to meet her one day. What I liked about this movie was that it did have some differences from A Ta... | 45 stars |
As a resident of the Greater Los Angeles area, I'll be the first to say that LA isn't the most salubrious place to live. But DARK BLUE paints such an unflattering portrait of the city and it's police force that even I was mildly disgusted.Kurt Russell is LAPD Sgt. Eldon Perry serving with a special investigations unit.... | 12 stars |
I dont know how people can watch this movie and call it a good sequel. The movie is dreadful, and the Penguin is the worst villian in the Batman series. Burgess Meredith played Penguin in the orignal series, and is the only man who can play Penguin. This movie is too long, and its basically 2 hours of talking and about... | 01 star |
This is a movie with the feel of an old fashion Disney movie, but designed for the modern expanded definition of family. Seven years ago Robin Williams got divorced. His buddy, John Travolta takes him to South Beach where Williams meets a girl, gets drunk, gets married, then has it annulled. However Williams still has ... | 34 stars |
Highly recommend for thought provoking drama. The characters are very well cast. A timely scenario for our current political and social environment | 45 stars |
This movie really opened my eyes to the food me and my family was eating. I have changed the meat and vegetables we eat to only organic. The way the farmers treated the animals was really heartbreaking. I wish everyone would see this movie, another thing the way they washed the meat we consume.(bleach and ammonia) I ha... | 45 stars |

He spent many months in a prisoner-of-war camp not far from the Ho Chi Minh Trail, suffering torture and starvation along with the half dozen or so other men who were imprisoned with him. A man of great determ... | 23 stars |
When I grow up I want to be just like Dexter. No one know a killer story like good 'ol Dexy. | 45 stars |
A good cast with flawless acting ability. But, the writers didn't let you feel anything for the characters, not even when they were killed off. It has a WWII feeling with the computer game "Quake" scent. If you're a fan of that game, you'll say, I've been here before.Don't waste your money until the DVD hits the bargai... | 12 stars |

We follow them on ... | 45 stars |
This is an excellent account of Lennon's career both with The Beatles and solo. Keep in mind that this is largely Yoko's version of events as she commissioned the film. Her heavy hand is evident and much relevant material has been omitted including the truth about the breakup of The Beatles. One thing we didn't need to... | 34 stars |

Amazing Grace was a superb depiction of one man's over 30 year struggle to end the British Empire's lucrative slave trade. William Wilberforce was a young man who came to his own understanding of the immorality of the ongoing practice of enslaving other people. He was raised in a rich trade family, and had no need to w... | 45 stars |
Everything's been covered by other reviewers, but I wanted to ask if CBS would please add the option to run EVERY episode with the bumpers intact.
