Don't bother Muddled plot, and a waste of some fine acting talent. Those who remember the original series will certainly be disappointed.

Will they please kill him off, already? Jason X (James Isaac, 2001)Jim Isaac was the guy who did some of the creepy special effects in eXistenZ, but you'd never know it from watching this particular piece of silliness.Lexa Doig and Lisa Ryder (of Andromeda semi-fame) head up the cast of youngsters ready to get picked ...

Overlooked Classic! This movie is a great, even to someone like me who isn't very high on comedies! Even though this movie was filmed on a shoe-string budget, it's a classic. Townsend blasts the stereotypes of blacks in Hollywood, sending a positive message about maintaining his dignity as an actor, and makes you laug...

Reaching for the sky I normally prefer to review the disc release and not the movie but, obviously, this disc is not yet available and the movie is enough of an unknown quantity (evidenced by this being the first review) that it seemed an exception was due this time.I came across FORTRESS by accident. I had not seen a...

OMG ! Logic is like soooo bad ! This movie is based on the supremely absurd premise that logic and science lead to a society where all emotion is outlawed, people get shot for crying, individuality is outlawed, there are neon signs saying "E=MC2" everywhere, and everything is decided by computers. This premise is so d...

Suspensful, Intriguing. Great plot, believable characters. The true extent of the British government's research on tracking individual citizens stays hidden until the very end. Benedict C shows his exceptional talent yet again.

The Circus Is a Crazy Place Where has this movie been all my life? This is high camp on the order of "Valley of the Dolls" and "Mommie Dearest". Why is it that Hollywood can make realistic cop movies but miss the mark so wide when making movies about themselves? Whatever the reason, if campy gems l...

Inane Script, Incompetent Direction - and those are the strong points. I've wasted enough time with this tripe, so I'll keep the review brief. Fleeting moments allow some acting talent to shine, but it's all overshadowed by incompetent direction (one need only view the prologue for evidence), vulgarity rather than wit...

Could be more fun This is campy Sci-Fi (Sci-low?) at its best. For real fun however, find the version spoofed on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Absolutely nothing is lost in the translation, as if there is much to lose, and the add-on commentary is hysterical.

Two Stars, one for each actor This is a horrible movie. It's funny how people rate this movie based on their affection for Kate & Leo from the Titanic. This is not the Titanic.

A beautiful epic romantic film!

Simply the Best! This is one of the best musicals ever made. I don't care what anyone says. Forget "The Sound of Music". Quincy Jones creates a true masterpiece with the sound track as well.
