the recent of asian is so over hyped films like or the the eye – which are praised all over the world – simply didn't convince me and they looked more boring than frightening well this blunt opinion doesn't go for the south korean gem a tale of two sisters this is a stylish and utterly complex psychological terror tale that really gets under your skin the plot based on a local tale might be a little too confusing to get this film listed among the all time greatest genre achievements but the atmosphere and tension building surely feelings of great respect this is one of those few films that are impossible to label the events in two sisters qualify as mind horror as well as intense family drama and a deeply psychological portrait besides a mesmerizing story a tale of two sisters also has all the great elements that i feel are usually missing in asian horror films like compelling music good acting and innovative camera work the mansion were the family events take place is brilliantly illustrated like a truly creepy place where secrets and danger behind every door several sequences like the dinner with relatives or the appearance in the girls' room are pretty much the ultimate in they really made me feel uncomfortable and i do like to believe that i've seen my share of spooky horror a tale of two sisters is a terrific movie adventure and a definite must see for asian film fanatics a little warning for people with a short attention span though this movie forces you to have your eyes and ears focused at at all time it's also a film that requires repeated viewing even though no one will never really get it for a full 100,positive +this is a classic to the likewise excellent film with juliet as a main star moreover she is a cameo appearance here in just for a second at the very end but this film truly red and very sweet although very sad is a real winner the main heroine played by ever great irene is a successful photo fashion model she leads a full active life only by her traumatic relations with her weird friend mike who is in england by some lucky chance she gets friendly with the old judge who spends time listening to the private talks of his neighbors the story starts to even further and we see him in court being almost universally condemned for his she is the only one who feels sympathy for him for his cute rita and her and for all the people who surround them we also witness the break up of a happy couple of a young lawyer and his lady and their is also by that scandal but the film is not about this even it is mostly about the loneliness and deep between people far and near when she to england on a ferry with that lawyer as a chance fellow passenger as well as that earlier mentioned who starred in the ship sinks and we see the horrified look of the judge when he watches the news trying to guess if she survived she did and still we feel very heavy at heart mr managed to draw a grand subtle story about the secrets and pain deep dark personal pain of those who are lost and lonely brilliant film,positive +especially when looking at the amount of crap that has made it to dvd i found this movie very funny rip torn is classic with his rob schneider if hilariously annoying as the over bruce dern makes a great villain the entire cast seems to be having a blast and it's not at the expense of the audience if you like just plain fun comedy and aren't looking too deeply into meaning you just might fall in love with this one,positive +this movie has everything it has a good storyline good acting great scenery adventure and some brilliant gags chris plays tommy mega successful company auto has to go on the road to stop the company going under after big tom dies the trouble is that tommy knows nothing about break and needs the help of auto parts worker richard david spade from the moment the two hit the road the movie is just so much fun if you love slapstick with a great storyline you'll love this because the gags keep coming thick and fast and the movie will just make you laugh out loud it was so sad about death in 1997 but a credit to his genius is get it chill out and enjoy this brilliant slapstick,positive +this is my favorite movie of all time i just love all the trouble all the teams get into its great michael j fox looked so young but then again i guess he was br br the teams are so stereotypical you just have to laugh,positive +this film contain far too much meaningless violence too much shooting and blood the acting seems very unrealistic and is generally poor the only reason to see this film is if you like very old cars,negative +you have to start worrying when you see that michael madsen is leading the cast of any movie i wont go through the list of shame that is his movie career br br i watched 45 minutes and still was not sure what really was going on the movie consisted of a love hate relationship between madsen and which basically was madsen insulting her threatening violence and generally treating her like dirt she on the other hand loves him then doesn't then she does the she desires him then she loves him again whats wrong with you woman br br the script is awful lousy soundtrack and pointless aggressive and crude sexuality which i believe was added to some viewers as the movie has little else to offer i would have given the movie a 1 but it just about managed a 2 with a little excitement in the last 20 minutes it did actually answer one question in the final few minutes but i am not going to share that i will make you suffer for the full movie like i did,negative +anyone who knows anything about evolution wouldn't even need to see the film to say fake it's never been also is a weak argument saying the universe was created by a giant cannot be although to be fair it does seem like the only people who do believe are the same people who open email from people they don't know or give their bank details to a dude in no bones of any are have been found in the united states or canada there is also a good reason why legitimate scientists don't bother studying this the same argument goes for the monster ghosts and god,negative +i had to suffer through this movie three times while i was a zombie extra in the director's new movie after the first time that i saw this movie the director was standing next to me and a clearly fake and cheesy looking hand popped out of nowhere and grabbed one of the characters i could not take it any more i out laughing right in front of the guy the movie has no direction whatsoever and the one thing that could make this movie decent female nudity was nowhere to be found i am a fan of low budget horror movies but this was just too much for me the worst part was that i had to watch it so many times also do not expect the new movie to be any better,negative +you looking for a comic drama with suspense and an ensemble cast well locate this little sleeper john and billy bob are great in this little plot don't forget the cameo by jamie lee curtis a touch of the 60's a touch of the prince and the and dash of that gold makes for a little story,positive +i recently got the movie and all i can say it is a good movie there's a lot of famous rome and historical locations it is from the same writer and director from the da code tom hanks stars along with ewan and the movie starts out with the space and time experiment in sweden until one of the is stolen by the most hated enemy the the plot is hard to discuss about without spoiling anything its a race all of rome following the trail to get to the secret meeting place while racing against time to find the path of the over all its a movie worth seeing hell i watched it 3 times and i still like it so in the end go buy it it is a lot better than the movie and the ending has one awesome plot twist,positive +25 august 2003 league of extraordinary gentlemen br br sean connery is one of the all time and i have been a fan of his since the 1950's i went to this movie because sean connery was the main actor i had not read reviews or had any prior knowledge of the movie the movie surprised me quite a bit the scenery and sights were spectacular but the plot was unreal to the point of being ridiculous in my mind this was not one of his better movies it could be the worst why he chose to be in this movie is a mystery for me going to this movie was a waste of my time i will continue to go to his movies and add his movies to my video collection but i can't see wasting money to put this movie in my collection,negative +this movie was suspenseful and fun to view as i am a fan of these type of movies i did enjoy this the premise is kind of scary but the fact that i didn't rate this a 10 was because the movie was a little over the top in some areas br br spoilers br br nobody could identify this girl i understand the concept of but i find it hard to believe that somebody anybody wouldn't have been able to id this girl as angela that was over the top and so was the scene where she walked over to desk and started this was overall a really good movie suspenseful and keeps your interest dennis miller was great as allen really believable was good as the lonely reserved computer worker the bad guys all br br i think the premise of the movie was really different and scary in today's times who knows what could happen but some of the over the top scenes prevented this movie from being a 10 8 of 10,positive +i occasionally let my kids watch this garbage so they will understand just how pathetic the show's contestants are they are pathetic not because they are fat but because they whore their dignity for a few minutes of fame and fortune br br for anyone to appear on national tv and and about being fat entirely their own fault is nauseating what does this say about us as a nation does it suggest that your lifestyle choices and the consequences of them aren't our responsibility br br the biggest loser is an appropriate title but it has nothing to do with one's weight br br absolute trash,negative +is certainly one of tobe best films it has some great special effects and a lot of nudity so it seems like a typical horror dream the film is quit creative though and i think that's because of the script from dan and don nice cinematography and a good creepy atmosphere make it a solid film,positive +i would recommend this as the most successful attempt so far to make a movie on soviet war and it is very honest and responsible picture starting from small details of uniforms and weapons up to human relations war routine and central asian landscapes it's been shot in just after the the which happened in 1989 not in 1985 the italian star mr was just perfect in the role of major other characters looked also very natural especially always drunk club managing officer the scenario seems a bit in the end but it might be an impact of the civil war in which had started right during the shooting of the film all movie team had to escape sometimes even under fire the last scene is purely type of behavior and reminded me the final phrase from one famous samurai movie we've won all battles but lost the war it could be also a metaphor of collapse the great country allowing to shoot itself to the back by the small offended child,positive +nurse betty is really an interesting movie i guess we all know someone who is so convinced that the characters in a soap opera are real that you can't explain them with any means that these are just actors and not real persons br br isn't a nurse at all in real life she is an ordinary housewife who works at a diner to escape from her awful husband and the problems in her miserable life she has become a very dedicated fan of a soap opera after she witnessed her husband being murdered she goes into some kind of a shock and she loses all grip on reality she thinks she's in love with one of the characters from the soap opera a doctor and decides that she'll visit him and start a family with him the hit men however think that she knows too much and go after her to kill her br br as i already said the subject is quite recognizable if you leave the professional hit men and the murder out of it and the movie was funny the story was well directed and the actors did a fine job it had everything i always want to see when watching a comedy i give it a 7 5 10,positive +br br i understand that people have different expectations of low budget movies i also know that john has a sort of glow about him that intellectual anti hollywood vibe a la tim robbins the brothers and that makes him a darling with the critics from the get go br br but this is not a good movie i'm sorry it just isn't br br it it has too many characters its tone is uneven its point of view is muddled the acting is all over the board from to over the top it for long moments with minor characters we don't care about and cuts away from tense scenes just when things are getting good br br it misses the mark br br the worst flaw in the movie is that the two closest things to a protagonist edie and angela are straight in characters that have no drive is an drunk in her life's own is a woman trapped in her own repressed pain when your two main characters' world views can be summed up with the phrases i don't care and i want to leave here why should the audience give a br br i'll be plain writes funny dialogue he's very at a scene the problem is these scenes don't go anywhere there's no spine to the movie no drive the movie doesn't create rooting interest in any of the characters in my opinion he's also too preachy about big bad corporate america up the little guy br br if you want to see a quality small movie see david lynch's straight story pass this one up,negative +if you're a fan of the original ten this movie will make you inside granted i'm only about 1 2 hour into it currently but it's so painful i felt it was my duty to warn away real ten fans before they are subjected to this i didn't think it was possible to actually make the special effects worse than they were in 1950s when the original was shot but this 2006 remake proves me wrong i can forgive some lame special effects but the dialogue melodramatic lifetime movie style and the stilted we are wax figures come to life acting makes me hope they'll rewrite the plot and in the red sea,negative +a couple move into their dream home unaware that it and its have been built over land used as a cemetery the film is said to have been based on a true story although how much of it is supposed to be true is not the plot is hardly unique see spielberg's 1982 within a short time they experience various supernatural these range from the disturbing mysterious shadows the serious illness of the daughter to the frankly ridiculous continually and garage doors going out of control there is little depth to the story once it has become established that the land had been used as a cemetery we do not learn anything more the plot does not seem to develop the characters are not particularly well drawn or in any way memorable nor is the atmosphere particularly special the film could be disturbing to some viewers there is no sense of or any kind of positive message from it,negative +this little film is hysterical full of stereotypes about gays british tea and american gun culture divorce and marriage yet it manages to be sensitive to the issues surrounding each kathy bates is amazing grace and as a character actor of range she brings her considerable comedic talent to ground this somewhat unusual film as she did in fried green with the help of other comedic talents like dan as max her ex lawyer husband and the backdrop of downtown chicago and rural england the story is just intriguing enough to entertain jonathan price plays victor fox a closet gay singer murdered by a cross bow killer in chicago his lover simpson played by the stunning rupert everett must overcome siblings including redgrave who want to turn their home into a tribute museum and teams with bates and her dwarf daughter in law to find the killer among the homeless of chicago br br the entire cast sing at various points in the pursuit and are excellent the talented price and bates this implausible storyline both funny and bizarre is one of the most off center films cameos by julie andrews barry and sally jesse should tell you just how bizarre this film truly is strange funny and off center but with a good perspective about people with every kind of difference,positive +there are that a fourth underworld is going to happen if so than the third part which is also a prequel would be in the middle of the franchise with that succeed the original movies you always ask yourself in what order should you watch the movies so that it makes sense br br in this case i guess it doesn't matter that much the third underworld movie isn't up to par with the other two they had their obvious flaws too but this one lacks a few things and it feels like a cash in it seems like it's not going full which is a shame because the actors sure could've used better material to work with br br the story is ok but it's nothing special a nice movie but couldn't fill the shoes of beckinsale yes she plays another character i mean the void that kate b left,negative +okay let's cut to the chase there's no way i can give this anything other then 1 out of 10 and yet you have to see it the acting is bad but is nothing like as bad as the script which itself before the production values cardboard we've got then car floor painted silver and used as here it is br br the film itself pretends to be artistic but is just cheap the same shots are used repeatedly especially in the drawn out fight scenes there is thankfully very little dialogue and there is much music to ram home the horror br br and yet all this awfulness is compelling you have to watch it through just so that you can say you've seen it i've not even got onto the sets the or the special effects this really is the not to do school of filmmaking this must be viewed spread the word and let the world all join together in puzzling over what on earth is happening at the end br br the best thing though is that they made a sequel,negative +i was stunned by this film i have been renting films them and this film showed me the climax and of his 50 years of directing what an eye for setting color and detail i have never seen such visual beauty and poetry filmed before i had to stop after the first story and hold back the tears yes beauty moves me like it moved to write on a this movie is made for the mature emotionally and intellectually audience those hoping to see physical action and soap opera will be disappointed i will have to see this film several times before i can truly appreciate it and judge it this film should be required viewing for all and directors br br possibly a truly great film on the order of dreams,positive +i usually enjoy underground movies and but this is a bad joke i wonder how this can be called a movie all these people are and the filmmaker doesn't succeed in making them interesting at all they are not funny not tragic just plain stupid and boring br br may be i missed something but i won't watch it again to find out what anybody with a camcorder can do better than that br br i give it a 1 for the originality all the rest is crap,negative +this film for what it was set out to be succeeded it's a short tragic film although my choice of film are ones that really develop characters and their relationships this film is meant to just give a taste leaving you with the what happens next factor after watching it i really was wanting more more of the characters back story what influences they had to make them into the people they were i think thats what the makers intended the viewing audience to think the acting is amazing there aren't many lines in the film so their body language facial expressions and overall presence needed to be powerful enough to a scene both franco and have that element and it shows for them especially franco to take the time to make this obviously says they believed in this film and wanted to be apart of it and for that i appreciated the film for what it was also i'm happy i own it so i can share it with other people that would've never known it existed,positive +shadow the joy and of the first movie audiences it also shows the power of film in its ability to bring the world a little closer overcome cultural and to ourselves for generations yet to come certainly anyone who truly loves the art of the motion picture will enjoy this film it's a great first effort by writer director ann who will hopefully have many films to follow,positive +cowardly and cynical the represents the of special brand of celebration of the status disguised as satire br br thanks to ham handed director arthur this ludicrous script gets the visually ugly poorly paced presentation it deserves br br only a great performance by george c scott in the sort of mean spirited role he was born to play keeps the from being a complete disaster br br ironically though scott's performance does viewers a his keeps them watching when they might more turn off the vcr and clean out the stare at the clouds or watch re runs of ' br br certainly anyone who emotionally in the set up modern medicine apparently gone amok will feel cheated by the dismal payoff where reveals that the system works just fine so quit your br br while the first half of this film provides some entertaining black comedy it all turns out to be a red before that becomes clear though gives some good lines to scott as his middle aged middle class white male stand in br br bitter alcoholic scott's dr herbert has those who know him best and he has the to keep them in all that of course makes a for a hippie chick half his age br br playing a collection of the long haired long and almost bust less diana struggles in the part of the girl ' the british is miscast as a free spirit but any other actress would struggle as well like the rest of a good cast gone to waste can't overcome a script that isn't interested in any character except or any philosophy beyond br br for fans of george c scott this is another star turn and worth watching for fans of black comedy turn it off after the first 45 minutes for anyone else don't bother,negative +to remake lost horizon as a musical the need for a or lowe type musical composition was needed burt and hal david were the wrong choice having said that my favorite thing about lost horizon is its score it's just that the score doesn't fit the piece the cast is made up of mostly non musical talents and were all dubbed and still don't sound all that great br br frankly the on which this and the earlier non musical film versions were based is mediocre at best while the possibilities for a truly good cinematic musical version exist they are not realized here the film succeeds at being a good rainy day vehicle to pass the time otherwise you are better off buying the cd of its soundtrack only recommended as a curiosity piece due to the film's awful reputation i've seen much better but i've seen much worse,negative +i'm a big fan of thomas harris i read all his novels at least 5 times and the book i really love the most therefore the movie was my biggest disappointment and i really don't get it why some folks here give it a nine or even a ten either their demands are very low or they haven't read the book or both even if i hadn't read the book i'd still consider the movie as absolute average and i'd give it a five the creepy mysterious atmosphere from the novel doesn't appear one single time in the movie when i saw it first in the cinema i even fell asleep why was a very important character totally why was barney shown as a dumb ignorant whose only ambition is to earn money and most of all why was the psychological process went through in the end caused by the drugs applied to her not to speak about the fact that the ending was too and totally changed well the reasons why jodie foster refused to play again are well known and i accepted it although like surely many others i'm very disappointed 'cause i identified with her for stories like red dragon the silence of the or that possess such psychological depth it is very important to identify with a character when they're adapted for the screen but as the germans say that's snow of yesterday scott did some incredibly good movies but with this one he doesn't live up to his name jonathan had exactly the right feeling for the plot the characters and their relationships towards each other in the silence of the he should have done too my only comfort is that i've seen the movie only two times it's long ago and thank god for that reason i'm able not to see the scenes from the movie when i read the novel i'm so sorry but i really can't recommend it to anyone,negative +this movie is never going to be on a list of the top 50 films of all time but if you're a list of fun films this isn't a bad place to start tyler is amazing captivating and and everyone else is dead on right for their parts it's a 21st century counterpart to tom jones in other words just good fun i think that this may be breakthrough film on her way to major stardom with no nudity she sex in this film it's no wonder all the boys give her toys how could they help but do that for a helpless innocent such as jewel,positive +kidman and law lack the chemistry to make this directed poorly written romance melodrama work on any level other than kidman and br br for her absent lover law she's just met him when he's off to do battle for the south in the civil war and they've only about 5 sentences and one kiss yet they're totally smitten main direction throughout seems to be look and shell shocked but sensitive ' is about the only spark in this dreary script but she plays it way too broad and over the top like she was starring in annie get your gun ' boy something about her character felt more like it in a monty python sketch the one from holy where the spend all their time in making mud for no reason kidman is a smart enough actress to stay out of her way whenever she can their scenes together are like a comic book hidden inside a victorian era novel br br whenever the action down into total tedium which is frequently all the writers do is shout cue the simon type villain ' and ray comes out of nowhere to do his acts like kill and torture innocent god in the name of loyalty to a fast br br all other times he's missing in action which is preposterous even in this script there is a of other talented actors who give credible performances in small roles these are the characters law meets as he does his johnny trek from the front lines where he has deserted to the hopefully loving embrace of kidman back in cold mountain ultimately though none of these characters matter law has no time for them or their lives each of these little mini movies has the same tired theme war is heck and turns otherwise decent christian folk into animals br br and the script is far too predictable too heavy handed moreover the pacing of the story is dreadfully slow you spend the entire movie waiting for romeo and inevitable reunion with kidman her hands and law incredible odds and bullets and when it finally comes you just don't care anymore you'll be looking at your watch wondering how much more of this you have to endure br br i give it one star out of five for the battle scenes there is a potent anti war message here the incredible lack of concern for the loss of life by the on both sides of the conflict is powerful stuff but it's only about 15 minutes of this 150 minute dog,negative +i and my brother are very big asian movie fans so when finding this movie hidden in a shop i bought this one on dvd because it sounded very promising and i couldn't wait to watch it so i watched this movie with my brother and i must say in the beginning it was very promising both of us really loved this brutal ball scene in the first scene but i guess that was all there are some interesting fights but it is not a action movie as it claims to be instead it's a love movie with the cliché of love so extremely played over the top even shakespeare would vomit on this title sorry for my language by the way the characters act like being picked up from the street and given for playing in this movie br br well i and my brother watched it to the end because we thought it can only become better but heck it never did this movie challenged place 1 on my and my brothers worst movies ever seen list only followed by fantasy mission force do not watch this either,negative +there were nice characters in here played by pleasant looking actors and actresses plus it had a famous band and some famous dancers yet the film just didn't work by the time this was almost over i was bored to death the dialog was dumb the humor mainly was downright stupid and the music was just not up my alley br br i've never been a big band fan anyway and if i hear in the mood one more time i'll br br this was my first look at famous actor and i have no complaints about her almost part of the problem at least with the humor is that it's so dated it isn't funny anymore phil bob hope red etc etc were hilarious to the crowds in the 40s and 50s but humor changes and what was funny back then is not today,negative +my father insisted i should watch this film with him and i regret that i wasted my time watching i want that hour and a half back the funny little film concerns the elderly don staying with his son tom it turns out that isn't just like he's been told but has it seems a lot like and because dad is so frequently out to lunch he gets into so much trouble again and again almost like the adorable from day out the problem though is that you know day out is all fantasy and the baby is going to be fine plus you aren't laughing at the baby for having a or illness but in this case you are being encouraged to laugh at a man who is slowly losing his mind and where's the humor in that if this film had been more successful would the producers have then made films making fun or people with cerebral or a flesh eating virus there are a lot of people who should have felt ashamed at having made this film,negative +br br since cats have nine lives i'll give you nine reasons to see this movie br br the and playing the piano together so unbelievably cute the car chasing dogs and jumping like every time he wants to be like a tough alley cat marie while alley cat her mom cat and his jazz band singing wants to be a cat stupid but proper and nice english and who make the cats walk like the magic carpet which puts the cat to shame the brave journey to ask help from alley cats edgar the butler chase scenes and transition from a nice guy to an insane cat due to cat plan gone bad,positive +telly it up as the mexican revolutionary though he's matched by chuck as a military in this yet rather boring on the famous historical life and times an earlier attempt villa rides 1968 with in the role and co starring robert dealt with these events more and on a scale as such villa is an all too typical european venture and an one at that despite its the end result is more often silly rather than amusing though a few moments most notably the action set pieces and a scene involving a inside a church offer some mild pleasure oh and even gets to sing over the end titles,negative +this film is a disaster from beginning to end 75 percent of the movie is made from scenes taken from the haunted world and the captive women badly edited together with original scenes that do not add up to anything but a complete rip off i'm a big fan of those two movies and seeing scenes taken from them re edited and re dubbed with nonsensical dialogue made my head spin these kind of cheap producers tactics to make more money by unsuspecting audiences basically killed the sword genre back in the 1960s br br there is one memorable scene in the new footage and it's the one when fights with the bad the fight is albeit cool and who plays definitely stands out he makes a memorable nemesis to but the rest is borderline embarrassing that was probably shot in a day br br avoid at all cost,negative +the movie is complete disaster i don't know who write scripts for movies like this one but i would definitely love to meet one of them and talk to him a little bit perhaps script writers really don't know sh t about situation in foreign countries in present or recent past or they just don't give a damn and write everything that they think it's interesting br br a great and formula with mad dictator 1 lonely hero an american of course might seem like a good idea but come on we had such a in who did a lot of bad things to it's people but i simply can't imagine him yelling shoot them shoot them with such a passion like in medieval times maybe they wanted to show how evil he was but it was a stupid idea much better impression would be if he just did it in cold blood like the real monsters do br br the list of nonsense is too long but the funniest thing is no matter how many national tv stations there are in russia russian president watch american news br br give me a break br br burn this piece of please br br awful,negative +oh dear this was quite possibly the worst film i have seen in years i mean what more can be done with the old woman inside mans body storyline it was full of cliches the nerd coming into his own sequence the getting whats coming to him etc im not calling these spoilers because any one could guess what happens the only thing it had going for it was laura who gave an average performance and as for the dream boy that was the piece of acting ever even the bad guys were instantly forgettable br br terrible movie,negative +in reaction to the of the films of actual combat in that time the wartime public increasingly turned to humor as escape from and br br charlie chaplin feared that his great shoulder arms would offend people but it became his greatest in it charlie by luck courage and wins the war and brings a captive in triumph to br br the chief difference between this hilarious and some of the serious war dramas was that in charlie's case it all turned out to be a,positive +perfect double bill for the horribly corny beverly is this equally atrocious lame son in law country girl rebecca goes to wild california to attend college only to be by the lifestyle crawl helps her settle in and soon the two are good friends decides to bring the wacky crawl home for with obvious fish out of water results br br the only other comic angle steve named achieves here is a sexual one this he us with but to no both comic aspects fail and you know the film is when crawl the combine and writes his name in the corn field br br dramatically the movie falls short too with several attempts at family and personal from crawl between them shore and carla manage to raise a couple of smiles but little else while the rest of the cast are mere fodder the problem is it's nearly impossible to actually like crawl and you'll find yourself spending the whole flick wondering why rebecca would want to spend a moment with him however if you're a fan of comedy son in law is right on the mark br br sunday november 10 1996 t v,negative +usually i'm the one the twenty something for not being able to appreciate a film unless it has plastic t and car chases however in this case the film might actually have been improved with a few of those at least i wouldn't have gotten bored after an hour and changed channels br br i don't mind surreal and i certainly don't mind having to pay attention to find subtlety or hidden meaning but there should be some point to the whole thing i didn't get the feeling that even the writer or director really had a broad vision of anything but were instead just so self absorbed in their own pretentious visions that they became deliberately scattered or perhaps they just got confused themselves either way i don't care it bored the crap out of me for just over an hour with no saving grace br br although a whole pack of other viewers have filled up this site with excited about the alleged symbolism and masterful cinematography i must disagree perhaps i didn't through enough film classes to appreciate some inspired techniques not visible to mere br br or perhaps this movie was just crap br br i give it a 1 and file it next to,negative +another but from about the same time as out of is flower with a great cast goldie hawn in her first film appearance pre ingrid in one of her later ones and the ever funny walter matthau the story is about a dentist who pretends to be married in order to have an excuse for not marrying his girlfriend leading to the need to come up with a wife for proof he his bergman into taking the role leading to multiple comic disasters and surprising romantic turns it's in the same vein as the doris day rock hunter comedies fans of those as i am will like this movie if not don't bother,positive +in the european tv industry movies like this one are called tv stations buy them and air them because when they wanted to buy broadcast rights to let's say titanic some not really blockbusters were a part of the deal br br 14 hours is a story of a hospital its employees and patients who have to face the worst slash storm ever unfortunately almost from every scene or shot one can tell that is was a low budget film br br babies are very obviously not real there is no background action and probably the worst thing is the doctor acting the actors are not believable in their roles their lines when spoken sound way too as if this was a read out camera test,negative +that's japanese for spiral or is one of the most absurd films i've ever watched a town becomes obsessed and then all consumed by the pattern in some very grotesque ways are cut off people commit suicide in machines just wild and crazy japanese horror possibly as psychologically as the ring generally not as scary as the eye but the imagery in this is more sickening than most of the things in the eye and not as gory as the story but that isn't to say there isn't a fair amount of blood and seriously if you enjoy horror films and especially asian horror you must add this film to your list a few parts are a little odd with the sound effects the story is adapted from a manga comic and it shows but it really fits unlike some films that try too hard to capture the original source house of the dead this one does it perfectly the most original film you will see not just this year but probably ever recommended,positive +it's rare to see film that strikes out in every aspect but surely must hold this title i'm not sure what is more horrendous the violence the sexual the acting or the plot or severe lack thereof br br the two and a half hours basically follows the of the infamous roman to to throne in and shows the atrocities and he supposedly committed whilst in power the acting is lifeless and dull but that's just the tip of the iceberg obviously knowing that this film was severely lacking of anything interesting the directors decided to throw in as much nudity and orgy scenes as was possible but don't be fooled these scenes don't ease or take focus away from the of this film the camera work is shoddy dialog is laughable in fact you'd have to malcolm mcdowell playing for keeping a straight face through such lines and then there's the violence br br if you are about to see the film be prepared some atrocities are committed in the film not just through the writing but through disgusting violent acts which are of little point or purpose other than to the viewer this is only objective this movie achieved one must wonder how the makers of this film thought that and just to name a few would be appealing to anyone when it ends after two and a half hours you take nothing from this film other than some disturbing images and the knowledge that you may have witnessed the worst film ever br br you've been warned,negative +watching alien express inspired feelings of awe shock pity and yes sheer terror to think that actors who have done good work in the past should come to something like this the horror the horror br br tell me if any of this sounds familiar br br a train especially built for a political campaign is on it's way to las vegas for a big for the candidate a senator from texas barry corbin the only actor with roles both alien express and no country for old men in the same decade at a crossing in a meteor a car waiting for the train to pass br br the train stops local law is oh can it be the senator has a lovely young lady amy from cry baby and place who just happened to have once been married to one of the officers answering the call lou diamond phillips stand and deliver la is the ex husband br br meanwhile aliens have managed to away on the train br br the train leaves lou gets his buddy to pilot a helicopter so that lou can drop onto the moving train about 70 miles per hour so that he can save the day as the reward he crashes the helicopter into the mountain br br which is another example of how poorly written alien express is the cop hero's sidekick must die we all know that but he's supposed to die near the end of the third act usually while saving several lives br br once on the train lou manages to lose his shirt so that he can channel bruce willis in die hard by wearing a wife t shirt yeah lou is years old but he hits the gym the part he's playing isn't worth bothering with but he's in good shape br br the senator is going to have an afternoon delight with miss but aliens and both he and the woman young enough to be his pay the ultimate price br br soon we have bomb aliens and of course the train goes out of control and toward its date with destiny while lou and todd bridges try to save as many lives as they can br br there is exactly one surprise in the entire movie early in the story a couple lift wine glasses to their thirty fifth with hopes for thirty five more years together the dude gets up but he and the mrs both live maybe the writers just lost track of them br br this is the kind of movie that you'd love to be a fly on the wall these actors who have done better work and really deserve much better than this are probably just happy for the work did they actually think they were working on something worthwhile or did they cry and or drink themselves to sleep at night at the end of the story the fairly numerous all things considered survivors gather in the last car of the train which is the other cars go over a cliff but the one containing the protagonists stops just short of the cliff br br lou and his ex are reunited happiness i'd have thought that the first thing they'd do was get off the train so they'd have solid ground under their feet but i br br someone looks out the window and sees a shooting star look make a wish then another then more and more the earth is being with that will crack open and creepy hand puppets with big teeth will be everywhere br br it's gotten to a point that seeing the words the sci fi channel presents on an original movie tells us that we'll be glad we have so that we can fast forward through the next two hours or better yet just go ahead and it two minutes into the story and spend that time more wisely,negative +one of my favorite lines in shakespeare br br i e we're not finished with you by a long shot so not only does not get his pound of flesh or the 3 000 or the 6 000 or the 000 each of the 6 parts were a in a matter of minutes he is ruined by having to all his and his daughter has long abandoned him already br br vengeance is a dish best served cold but attempt at revenge totally br br i suspect this play was and is popular because it to the wish we have for justice but the hard reality is the world is in injustice and most of it stands a few big names get tossed in jail gang lose their to the but in reality most of the time it's the other way around br br but not in this play the long of racism and forgets that it could well have been any other social group that gets the it's just that the money of the time were jews and therefore the needs of the story line puts the jew into the role of villain br br of is my 3rd favorite work by shakespeare 1 and 2 being hamlet and this production gives excellent treatment of the moral of the story the scenes with the alone is worth watching also the of the new husbands and the fact they let the rings so easily slip away that they had to keep forever in real life this trick is the thing that use to remind their better half that promises must mean something and not be made there is far deeper significance to this play than just the comedy dramatic aspect it is about loyalty commitment and love br br well worth watching over and over,positive +any movie that has a line of dialogue that goes something like this getting ready for her date has to be good i found this on dvd and was pleasantly surprised a lot of hard work was put into making this movie i actually enjoyed this more that a lot of 80s movies i have seen great addition to my movie collection br br the was great sets up the scares for the rest of the movie loved the gore and the t a i never thought being out would look like popping the color of the eye splatter was gross i keep thinking that looked like tiger woods but more black anyone agree,positive +let me see i've seen every film lou has made i've seen batman robin twice i've the dances in 2 electric i've watched unfinished blade runner rip off student films yet this film is the most painful thing i've ever seen br br this was the first movie for the straight to video market so you can thank blood cult for all of those mysterious michael films at your local blockbuster you should know that this isn't even high quality video this is grade this is you father's video camera he never uses this is what you have to look at for 90 minutes br br i won't bore you with plot details since i'm getting sleepy just thinking about it but i will tell you that watching this movie is a form of torture i only watch this movie when i am angry at myself so i recommend this film if you are or if you are up for a mighty challenge br br if you happen to rent this film god have mercy you will know what you are in for from the first 10 minutes this is when you are hit by the usual horror film intro you know the there's a lot of suspense and build up before some girl dies yes you've seen it before but not like this this is the most boring intro i've ever seen i honestly believe that you could get a camera off ebay for ten dollars grab the bum that most like and candy and tell him to film your mom cooking dinner and it would be more interesting than this intro it bored me to tears i cried like a baby br br another one of the things that makes this film so unbelievably painful is its actors yes i've seen bad acting trust me i've seen 4th grade productions of oliver twist with more realistic dialog the lead actor makes me ill the supporting actress is a train wreck of a human br br i will not even comment on the boyfriend true horror br br so rent this movie if you can find it you'll never be more depressed that you spent 3 dollars on anything else,negative +i really enjoyed this movie it challenged my emotions and beliefs making it a true piece of artwork in my book the acting was i would never watch this movie with anyone i could not cry around i don't think i cry harder to any movies maybe because it makes me look at myself i it is a must see,positive +may i never have to go to this hospital or if i want to be politically correct which ass this phrase anyway for anything other than directions on how to get out of town george c did a masterful job playing the burned out over worked who has come to the conclusion that his life has been a waste but is helpless to change his environment or conditions even when given a golden opportunity which probably wasn't so golden anyway i got several laughs out of this brutally black comedy however at the same time was and often to the because i fear this very atmosphere most houses of healing even as i write,positive +first of all let me say this film isn't for everyone it has a very strange subject matter a living alone and living a boring life discovers a young man in a park just across the street from her she notices him sitting out in the rain and invites him in to dry off warm up the man does not speak and the woman assumes he is deaf mute still she is fascinated with him and sexually interested in him he finds her odd and continues his silence although we find out later that he isn't mute at all and that he reports to his sister everything that is going on between him the woman i won't give away the rest of the plot if you can find this film watch it you cannot take your eyes off of it what makes it so interesting well it is totally unique i've never seen anything like it and watching these two together is very uncomfortable especially when you find out what this bland boring obsessive is capable of you won't forget it soon,positive +ignore the bad reviews on here this film is awesome just before dawn is a great example of what can be done in a film with a minimal budget if you have a dedicated crew decent script and a cool idea for a film it's a hell of a lot of fun br br i enjoyed it a lot more than most other 80's slashers because the killer is so unique wrong turn ripped this movie off something fierce there's plenty of blood and scares my girlfriend was freaked out and she watches almost everything with me and doesn't it's got that creepiness to it br br i'd say that just before dawn is the best early 80's slasher out there i really enjoyed it br br 8 out of 10 kids,positive +i was given a dvd of public enemies and was expecting it to be the 2009 version but it wasn't it was this sure it wasn't the greatest movie i have ever seen not by any means but heck folks it was worth more that 2 8 out of 10 when i saw that abysmal rating on imdb i wondered what i was going to get but since the disc was in the player i settled down to watch it as other have pointed out public enemies is not a historical movie per se and i noted that unlike the 2009 version which i haven't seen yet imdb doesn't it as such br br come on people it's a story based on some real people that's all if i wanted a history lesson i'd sit at this computer and read or something ma barker actual name arizona or barker was never even charged with any crime and as other have already pointed out she probably never even took part in her activities they sent her to the movies when they were working i hope she wasn't as critical as some of those who watched this movie br br russell had the never too easy task of portraying a woman from the age of 17 right through to her death at the age of from a young girl running from home to the hardened mother of four sons i think she did it pretty well the little smile she used in more than one scene was classical ok i will agree with some of the critics that the direction of this film was below par and i with the actors over that should have told the director to forget the topless shots they didn't contribute to the story maybe some bigger name stars would have managed to some of their own expertise into the poor direction whereas the second weren't quite that brave who knows br br but whilst this was certainly no block buster it was worth more than 2 8 i have all my dvds on a personal where i score them before looking at the imdb score although that sometimes influences slight changes later i take what i get on it's own merits rather than holding one movie up against others of the same genre and this one i felt was entertaining enough to get 6 8 yep i'll accept that such a practice does tend to depend on my mood at the time but then isn't that also true of those who vote on imdb however you may imagine my surprise when i looked at imdb and saw the pitiful score it got here br br given the surprise i decided to read a few of the other comments in the hopes of understanding the low rating and i noticed that they are quite i agreed with those who said the movie was worth watching and came to the conclusion that some people are just hard to please well since some were absolutely why don't they get out there and make some better movies i will look forward to the gems they must be able to turn out on the other hand if they can't do that then why don't they just shut up,positive +bela lugosi is a real in the early 1930s he was on top of the world after appearing in dracula yet again and again he made lousy decisions regarding his career perhaps he had a bad agent perhaps his drinking and drug use had a part in it or maybe he was just crazy regardless he ruined his reputation by appearing in pretty much any film ranging from excellent horror films such as the to big budget flicks like to grade z flicks for the and of studios interestingly enough although he agreed to do this terrible film he actually turned down the role that later went to boris karloff in frankenstein as for this movie it is a very silly an produced wwii propaganda film that featured a dumb plot and wretched editing lugosi spends much of the movie murdering not a bad thing at all but at the end we find out that he is himself a nazi plastic surgeon and all the american looking men he killed were actually japanese the funniest part of this is during a flashback you see lugosi talking to a group of japanese men before he changes them to american like men when the camera them the men are clearly asian but on all the other non close up shots they are all very western looking many with bald heads they looked absolutely nothing like japanese men i suspect the plot must have a re write and this might account for the obvious mistake or it could just be shoddy production values and editing in fact early in the film they show a street scene in the city and all the cars circa 1942 are old model t obviously from stock footage the bottom line is that the film is bad but also very dull unlike plan 9 from outer space it's hard to laugh at the just be put to sleep by it,negative +pity the people always accused them of being which they were or being nothing more than a american knock off of the beatles again which they were but to the kids of the time they were real they were important they were legitimate discussions about who were better the or the beatles were common on school but the critics well they never quite bought into it despite recording some very catchy classic pop tunes the did not receive much respect for their albums sadly a similar fate was met by their one movie vehicle despite the fact that it stands as the best band film ever fans may argue that hard days night was better and i am sure that many of the kids think 8 mile was superior but none of these films were as daring and inventive as head and that is probably why it failed br br if head had told a direct a to b type story perhaps it would have to the bands young fans but by pushing the and using the movie opportunity to mock their own image they really the film with their fans could you imagine turning to the camera and actually talking about how sad it is that he is the best selling guy in a genre in which only 5 and i am being generous of the acts are white if you can picture that than you have an idea how daring it was for the to sing hey hey we are the you know we like to please a image with no philosophy when you have a film in which frank tells that he should focus less on the dancing and more on the music its clear that there is a lot more going on then you expected br br the story what there is concerns the boys trying to flee their manager who at one point forces them to play in a commercial but every time they run away they end up inside a box i don't think you need to be fellini to figure out the symbolism of that bit some neat little comedy bits follow with as a boxer who has to give up playing the to take a dive in the big match and peter to throw away a ice cream he does not want because there are starving children so its wrong to waste food but the real selling point to this film is the music and its some of the best the band ever recorded even if you are put off by the story you can sit back and enjoy some terrific music br br any film that begins and ends with mickey attempting suicide by jumping off a bridge at the end the band follows him is never going to be a mainstream classic but if you are a fan of either the band or experimental cinema of the era than you will enjoy this film,positive +a heap of human flesh lies asleep on a red this is the hunk of naked meat that is little joe a new york hustler who lives with his wife and baby child the film follows a day in his life after he's from sleep by his wife demanding that he go out and do the traditional male thing be a but the use she wants to put the bread to is to pay for her new abortion we certainly aren't in the traditional family unit here br br after playing with his child joe hits the streets to cruise for the come thick and fast the ordinary gay man who wants to meet him again because they work well together the old english classical who pays 100 to see joe pose like an ancient greek the female topless dancer who blows joe then boasts about being raped the gym bunny who doesn't think that what he and joe do together is after a hard day's work joe returns home exhausted only to be put down by his wife and the girlfriend he goes back to sleep as they and him br br flesh is fascinating as it takes what is a traditional classical mainstream structure it has an incident the money for the abortion and set up a confrontation and a resolution albeit a very downbeat one even a protagonist with a strongly motivated goal and then proceeds to concentrate on the details of the day to day routine of these people who are perfectly ordinary to themselves but extraordinary to most mainstream people it all seems very authentic and natural it's hard to see the acting the actors are so fully being their roles but yet the whole thing is a piece of cunning a beautifully drawn portrait or an statue director carefully plants every incident every encounter around his theme of human flesh become but with such cunning slight of hand that you almost don't notice him doing it the wife sexual the old a long gone order of classical beauty which created art and poetry from human beauty the friends of the stripper package themselves as women whilst reading a hollywood magazine in which real women are as products the gym bunny buys friendship and affection thinks artificial porn is real and can't tell as we can't that joe is performing his friendship and for the cash the film itself presents itself as the plus ultra of cinematic realism but what we might as well be dealing with here is fine art or an early example of concept art br br the genius a word not lightly used of was to find a way of taking arty to film making which were interesting sure but boring as hell and making them into products which remain amongst the most intriguing works of cinema art ever made commercial flesh and trash and heat with a product label andy which sells an idea about the product as much as the product itself yet just as you reel from cynicism you are by his ability to still maintain the highest of standards and depth of meaning the constant what seem like camera flashes continually draw attention to the nature of what one is witnessing yet you get drawn into the illusion all the same flesh is surely one of the most extraordinary pieces of cinema magic to ever an audience,positive +stay away from this movie it is terrible in every way bad acting a thin recycled plot and the worst ending in film history seldom do i watch a movie that makes my from in fact the only other movie that immediately springs to mind is another people in an aircraft in trouble movie please please don't watch this one as it is utterly and totally pathetic from beginning to end,negative +an enjoyable movie without a doubt and very of both its era and that very particular stage in any boy's of but i have to say that having read the very positive comments here i was a bit disappointed the period was captured but the plot was desperately thin the whole thing revolves around the most bit of in the history of school plays the idea that would ever be chosen to play not only one of only three star turns but a is and without that the sub plots bore no relation that i could see to the main plot all of them could be removed in their entirety without in any way affecting the main story which surely suggests a fundamental flaw when all your sub plots look like padding you know a central idea is being stretched beyond its limits nevertheless it's a movie with its heart in the right place there are some fine performances and you just get the feeling that everyone involved felt at the final ' that good feeling the film and that has to count for something a flawed really quite good movie 7 out of 10,positive +james arguably could write some of the best sentences in the english language and his short story the dead which ends his collection the its the most perfect paragraph in the english language it's fitting that john huston who held back in attempting to film this story ended his career with it as with the red of courage and the man who would be king huston the literary source but made the adaptation cinematic and with the dead which was completed after death by his son tony huston we get something nearly perfect in the marriage of literature and cinema br br all that cinema can do as one of the points out this isn't the african queen nor does it need to be this is the kind of movie that is for an audience all of us through portrait of an artist in school and one needs to bring the maturity of how words and images in and of themselves can touch us as with silent films huston seeks something pure here and he works with the confidence of his many years and leaves the world a masterpiece that equals original br br many veterans of the irish theater world are to bring the story of a man filled with self importance and mock self doubt that's by the of an party on the eve of the feast of the what's in store for gabriel is an evening of celebration song dance poetry where he's asked to give the to the two sisters and their niece who host the party he's distracted by the task wanting to rise to the occasion and this distraction leaves him vulnerable for an earth shattering experience handed to him by his wife while his ego is when he hears a story from his wife's past it's also a gift where all that seems to have throughout the evening is swept away by the realization of impending for all who are living br br and rather than trying to make the last famous paragraph of the story cinematic huston brings in a voice over and we hear those incredible words as we watch the snow falling through the universe and falling it's the perfect solution to a adaptation br br the cast is all we would hope since this is basically a testament to the power of the written word and how it brings us together through common experience each performer seems by their role huston as has a wide range to play and her account of a young boy who once loved her not only gabriel but the audience as well br br when i think of huston it's the transformation she makes in this film and when i think of her father it's this film i remember first,positive +at the time that this movie was made most knew exactly who barbara was today only some women over 50 probably remember whose wisdom ran in family circle magazine from before world war ii until the 1970's she lived on farm in and her were into a number of books seasons etc the lines that barbara as she types them for her are quite typical of the ones that began a typical besides cooking and country living she got rather nostalgic and philosophical at times she talked a lot about her favorite dogs mostly you might say that martha stewart is the of today br br christmas is may not be any cinematic masterpiece but it is pleasant lighthearted entertainment to the out mind and that is good enough,positive +childish storyline ripped off of a lame hollywood movie terrible acting cheesy dialogue and not quite up to par sex scenes that's right another great parody i enjoyed this film greatly sure the acting is terrible but that part of the fun the storyline is ludicrous but some things must be sacrificed when the story has to around girl on girl sex scenes and because it's only no the sex scenes were a little bland but it's like the great god of russ meyers said who really cares what goes down beneath the i don't know if i'd agree with mr meyers on this one but what the hell the flick entertained me for an hour and a half i give it a c it would've been a solid b if they cast more of the girls to look like russ meyers actresses,negative +if it wasn't for the terrific music i would not hesitate to give this cinematic 2 10 but the music actually makes me like certain and so i give it 5 10,negative +it's been 3 months and you know what that means a new seagal movie seagal has really been on role making horrible film after horrible film each time every movie getting worse and worse he's really amazing i don't really know what to say about first it's a piece of crap the story makes no sense at all secondly he uses stunt men in all his fight scenes and last but not least a lot of the footage is taken from other movies it how this guy continues to find work he comes to the set late and leaves early and because of that his films are full of plot holes and stunt men why do we continue to buy his movies why do we continue to have hope that maybe just maybe he will make a great movie,negative +this is one of the most predictable movies i have ever seen and this supposed to be funny boring boring boring find the fast forward button at your remote and use it i can t say i laughed once and the only good feeling this movie gave me was relief when it ended,negative +i remember this bomb coming out in the early 80's at first it sounded like a great idea a retelling of an american classic with the help of modern movie techniques of the day there was a bit a of a back over the treatment of the original lone ranger moore the movie studio had threatened legal action if moore continued portraying him self as the real lone ranger moore was performing at children's as the lone ranger for sick kids to many americans moore was just that the the one and only lone ranger i had always felt that the studio could have done justice to both the fans and legacy of the lone ranger if moore had been treated better maybe even a cameo in the new movie how ever this was not the case and many of the viewing public stayed away in also the story and acting were weak all this added up to a big box office bomb and rightly so i personally i'm glad the studio lost big money after the way the real lone ranger was treated you don't treat an american icon that way,negative +let me begin by saying that i had been eagerly this film's release for awhile after finally getting the chance to see it last night i'm sorry to say that i was incredibly disappointed it's hard to imagine a film that could make last exorcist the beginning look good but does just that no wait it makes it look like a great film br br perhaps i got myself too excited about this movie and that contributed to the let down after all the idea that warner bros was releasing two versions of what is essentially the same film within six months of each other was an exciting attraction plus i'm a huge fan of and in true fashion he gives a great performance despite the often ridiculous content of the film on the other hand the supporting cast in this film is abysmal clara seems to be capable of only one expression blank stare and delivers all of her lines with the same monotonous tone while father frances is just ridiculous the effects in this film are laughable at best and the sheer cheesiness of it all is enough to rob the film of any chance of being taken seriously this movie brought about more than anything else and with the exception of one really chilling shot that lasted about three seconds and made my friend cover her eyes and it neglected to offer anything in the scare department either i could go into more detail and possibly give away some spoilers but frankly i'm too exhausted from thinking about how bad this film was to write all the things i'd love to say br br the saddest part about the whole thing is that the basic idea that both versions of the film tried to give a story about a priest who has lost his faith and then it after coming to terms with his troubled past had huge potential especially with as leading man unfortunately for us that potential was wasted go and see this film only if you're really curious about how it from the version but don't expect to see a good film or you'll regret wasting your money and two hours of your life otherwise be content with the version first released and move on,negative +i saw this movie and i thought this is a stupid movie what is even more stupid is that who had thought an idea that there should be a in los angeles the fact is that there are no in los angeles this movie should not be filmed in los angeles it should be filmed in hawaii hawaii has which is a real fact that this movie should be made in state capital this movie should be filmed in hawaii because this is the real idea and not in los angeles there are in los angeles but there are no to be honest with you this is unbelievable nonsense and very foolish in conclusion i will not bother with this movie because a in los angeles is nothing but nonsense,negative +after all the hype i had heard about the jane austin novel and different film versions of the book i found myself very disappointed with the movie i had expected a classic drama but that was not the case first of all let me my review with the fact that i love old movies particularly mysteries and dramas but not female oriented movies this probably makes a huge difference so take my review with a large grain of salt i thought the acting was a bit over the top but that is very common in movies of this era june was good as jo but i found every sister to be stereotypical and form driven there were no surprises or overly dramatic moments i hate writing negative reviews but the movie left me very cold it has always been my intention to read the book but after this that seem unlikely the only warming story line was between the old gentlemen and the youngest sister that was a very welcome bright spot in an otherwise disappointing viewing experience again there are others who love this movie i'm just not one of them,negative +most of the criticism of attack of show is from people who are unfairly comparing it to an old computer tv program called the screen people are upset because decided to the screen and replace it with the pop culture based attack of the show to compare the two shows is like comparing to br br attack of the show is a unique hour long program that covers current generation x y culture it features segments on movies television discussions video games new dvd releases sex advice new players cell phones etc comic books graphic novels magazines and internet br br it's a fun show definitely worth checking out you are in your or 30s i give it an 8 out of 10,positive +how important is the director anyway in this film made in the politically times of the late 60s where questions of social organization were prime conflicts asks that question by making a movie that turns the camera away from the action and only begs to reveal the director william it is an important work as it shows like no other movie shows the difficulties in and setting the scene it reveals the role of the crew something most directors frankly would like to disappear completely and that the of is essential for disbelief and it also puts into consideration the role of performance and scripting and how they match don't match reality and what that has to say about how the director ultimately influences reality if at all br br the documentary or pseudo documentary or fictional narrative you prefer via your interpretations of the themes has its brain in the over educated over intellectual crew its guts in the lost performers struggling to understand the vague and ambiguous directions and its heart in the director who stands in as the desire to portray to represent to express without any idea how to do any of those things or why he wants to do it it's a film that repeats just to see if they can become more than it's a film that sometimes shows the multiple shots simultaneously just to leave the editing to the audience and also reveal how different shots change perspective br br it's an important work and something that everyone interested in the industry and process of film making should watch and understand it like many experimental films has no real mass audience appeal it's not for them it's for the industry and its for the 60s asking what to do with a group effort medium that still relies on a single voice and author br br,positive +you know those movies that are so bad that you have to laugh half wasn't one of them which sounds good right but no it's not it's not a bad attempt at a horror movie that's fun to watch because it's lame or not well acted or has bad special effects or anything else like that no half is just plain boring they don't even make an attempt to be scary until the last 20 minutes are so it's just kids running around in the african bush country and getting high off of elephant dung for the first 75 of the movie and it's not even funny the last 20 minutes though are hilarious i have no idea what happened but it was really fun to watch that cgi rip out the throats of all of those white guys i couldn't tell apart anyway if you're in the mood for a bad horror movie don't rent this one because you'll go to sleep before they get to the fun stuff if you do accidentally rent this movie i'd recommend fast to the end and skipping any scene that happens in daylight you won't miss anything you won't have any idea which character is which or exactly what is going on even if you do watch all of the back story,negative +not much to say other than it is simply a masterpiece this film contains a of messages that all should take to heart especially women do not your man's dreams honor them that's why you loved him in the first place those who plan for death will live in the grave those who will those who live in fear even our lord spoke of this when he the the one who buried his talent in fear that he might make a mistake and the master take a risk get out of the boat and you will walk on water life is a journey that does not end in the grave but in our minds and souls,positive +interesting story and sympathetic treatment of racial son of the gods is rather too long and contains some hammy acting but on the whole remains a fascinating film br br story about a chinese passing as white starts as leaves college after being insulted by a trio of brainless co he on a world tour to discover himself and ends up as secretary to a british playwright claude king in he meets beautiful wagner bennett and they fall in love but when she discovers he is chinese she goes in a memorable scene br br plagued by guilt and love goes into a mental spiral and makes a few attempts to contact after his father dies he takes over the business and chinese as a symbol of his hatred of the white race that has him after a san francisco detective tells him the truth about his birth makes the decision to honor his chinese father and mother br br and i agree that one reviewer here never saw this film declares her love for sam before he tells her of his recent discovery and that makes all the difference in this film br br and bennett each have a few scenes where they chew the scenery but on the whole this is a solid and interesting drama frank is good as the nice college pal claude king is solid as the playwright flowers has one scene as an indian and e warren is the chinese father dorothy is nasty alice not so good are as father and mildred van as also note the gorgeous blonde to the right of at the table what a whoever she was,positive +i happened upon this by chance i was at my friends house and he had just started watching it so i sat down thinking we would shoot the whilst this was playing in the background however within seconds i was immersed in this drama and we both spent the rest of the time completely focused on this and not saying a word to each other br br i never knew the tale of the the first solo around the world race let alone the tragic events of one man's attempt against the odds which set out to be his redemption for all of his in life but ultimately ends up becoming an example of them having not known of the story i did watch this with the same as i imagine those who were reading about the race at the time it actually was happening in what was taking place and eager for more information hoping the lone amateur was going to pull it off against the odds and beat the which makes the shocking twists of the story all the more tragic i felt like i was living the story br br the story is told with great care and the have clearly had time to reflect on the tragedy which gives great insights but is also nicely by the archive footage of interviews at the time of the tragedy the and photographs of the lone sailors is also excellently used and the insights into the minds of the sailors and how was affecting them was superb br br i'm shocked that this story isn't more widely known or has been turned into a movie but also thankful thankful that we have this drama documentary to tell the tale from those who knew the man instead of some movie adaptation and thankful that i caught this gem of a film by pure chance br br it's a must see whether you like documentaries or not,positive +has arguably become one of the best tv series to come out of turkey with its unique cinematography and visual approach to filming the series has gained a wide following base with rating records continuously broken personally i do not agree with singers becoming actors hence the lead actor but i guess the figures speak for themselves br br in relation to the movie it was disgusting to see how much someone can destroy such a years in the making this movie was able to every descent story that existed within the series not only that the cultural mistakes were with an idiotic scene involving the family members dancing greek style and breaking which does not exists anywhere within the turkish culture br br some argue the movie should be taken as a stand alone movie not as a of the tv series but this theory has one major fall the way the movie was was that it will be picking up where the series left off and will conclude the series once and for all so with that note in mind me and everyone i know would have asked for a and accepted to stand outside the theatre to warn other victims,negative +i remember seeing this movie years ago and it was full of suspense and twists it grabs you at the beginning and keeps you guessing throughout the whole movie i have thought about this movie for the past several years and have checked in video stores to see if it's available but was never able to find it or anyone who had even heard of it i think this type of movie is timeless and i know it would be enjoyed by a whole new generation of movie i hope this gets on video soon as it would be fun to see if it has the same impact on me as it did back in the early 70's br br it's very rare that a tv movie can make that much of an impression but this was did and still does after so many years,positive +every high praise word fell way short before the height of this movie this movie is the true example of how a psychological horror movie should be br br the plot seems to be a bit confusing at first viewing but it will definitely explain a bit about what's going on and you really want to view it for the second time but after second viewing you will start to join the pieces together and then you will know how amazing a movie can be br br a word of advice for slasher flick fans stay away from this movie this is not your dumb ass teenage slasher movie in which you just switch off your brain and sit in front of the screen just to see big b and lots of blood br br if you want to the psychological horror factor of this movie then watch it all alone with a great home theater system that supports digital or 5 without any of your ill mannered friends that crack jokes on a really tense situation and don't forget to switch the light off br br my points on different aspects br br direction 9 10 acting 8 10 atmosphere 10 10 sound effect 9 10 br br total 9 10,positive +a few ago i remember reading an by a feminist film who briefly mentioned russell this wrote that the of the that r played lay partly in their ability to stand by their man even when he wasn't worth it br br i thought of this after watching of br br kathleen turner exudes the same strength and style as russell in her portrayal of prostitute china blue she's the object of affection for two men the loony priest played by anthony and a bland boy who's marriage is slowly and she won't let either of them have a piece of her until br br i won't give away the ending but i will say that this is ultimately bland boy's fantasy no matter how hard ken russell tries he can't disguise the fact that this movie is basically a 1940s melodrama for the mtv generation except its class and gender politics make those old black and white films look revolutionary by comparison,negative +michael sheen shines like the afternoon sun in this brilliant portrayal of a comic genius if you are familiar with kenneth mannerisms and then this drama captures the essence of them perfectly when i read about kenneth in his swimming i laughed and then it was brought to life on the screen but this time i didn't laugh as it was put into perspective as the actions of a repressed and tortured man it must have been such a lonely existence being in skin attention but it when it truly the last 20 minutes are heart breaking as you see kenneth gradually sink to the depths of despair and consider suicide as the only alternative i have seen it a dozen times and still cry at the point where he to i cannot recommend this drama enough sexually explicit but it drives home the fact that kenneth couldn't let anyone his world and this is where the sadness of the man lies for a genius who brought happiness to so many it's such a shame that his private life was filled with such despair and sadness,positive +when i fist watched the movie i said to myself so a film can be made like this wong gorgeous poetic love story captured me throughout and even after the film i must admit this is one of the best love movies maybe the best of all i have ever watched the content and the form perfectly as watching the secret love we see the characters in frames that limits their movements as well as their feelings beautiful camera angles and the lighting makes the feelings and the blues even i want to christopher doyle and pin bing lee for their fantastic cinematography which creates the mood for love also the music the sadness of the love which plays along the beautiful slow motion frames and shows the characters in and of course the performances of the actors which makes the love so real eventually all the elements in the film combined in a perfect way under the direction of and give the audience the feeling called love,positive +as a new resolution for this year 2005 i decide to write a comment for each movie i saw in theater 10 or in dvd 90 br br i must admit that dvd have this habit for instance i can hear the true voice of the cast which is an essential of the personality in my country non french movies are dubbed and we end up with french voice is terrible very far away of its original tone the same voice for different people or a same people with different voices br br and well if everybody found my comments well in 2006 i will stop my reviews ah ah so enjoy them now br br my summary means that the story locations cast is not very enjoyable br br only br br sandra is there she is a talented actress able to get the viewer to catch on the movie br br it reminds of a feminine the fugitive so if you look for a moment of escaping your life watching this movie makes it worse because life is a mess br br she got nothing left to hold on to only her poor mother who is ill again the touch for depression br br in fact she has a sad life in the beginning of the movie has a life throughout it to finally get back to it at the end what a happy ending br br maybe the writers wanted to make a point about a life br br very far away from the best computer movie of all time,negative +only in the hollywood fiction world could anybody including fbi agents be so unbelievably stupid the good guys are stupid enough to pick up everything they're interested in answer phones go up all in search for a expert who's out to get everybody oh yes and then we get the hollywood he can be shot even if he's got a on and then fall down a long flight of steps and then still have the upper hand over his stupid every cliché you can think of in suspense movies were used i only watched it because is so hot oh but yes it's great to see how morally superior this fbi agent is when she's pretty certain that there's a bomb in an opera house and she doesn't sound the alarm who writes these scripts,negative +tim robbins did a masterful job directing this film i say this because he avoided convention and cliché he also superb performances from susan sarandon who won an oscar for her role and sean penn even more amazing robbins doesn't he just tells the story and lets the events play on the viewer's mind this is so effective because it allows the viewer to form his own opinions on the death penalty one of the most controversial subjects of our time without being unfairly manipulated in either direction i can't recommend this film enough 9 10,positive +the plot was not good br br the special effects weren't br br the acting was not very good at all br br like others i felt there were numerous holes in the plot that you could fly well a space through br br i thought the ending was rather unbelievable br br by the way guys about the blow torch in space br br blow have their own supply of hence the name torch two run from the torch one to an bottle and one to an bottle br br so a blow torch would work just fine in space,negative +very shortly a bad film if you are looking for pure action and no brain or brain or you are under 15 years old and like bruce willis this is the movie also don't expect the scenario to be consistent or even if you think a little so don't if you just want to enjoy yourself,negative +is a fun movie if it's not taken too seriously the novel written by dean r is obviously a lot better but the movie itself is entertaining in it's own way the film has a lot of changes for the novel the one difference is the main character travis in the book he was an adult and an retired force soldier while in the film he's a teenager has it's good points the film does have some gory scenes in parts i'm a fan of micheal and it was cool to see him in this film he always does a great performance in all his films the costume looks kind of cheesy but the camera never really shows the creature fully until near the end of the film the dog was impressive since it was well trained br br the film sees two genetic experiments escaping from a lab a dog and a monster both experiments are linked since the two animals are part of a military project were the dog would an enemy base then the creature would attack and eliminate them the dog finds a teenager named travis who takes him home and discovers that he's intelligent and so he names the dog einstein meanwhile the is around killing people and out their eyes two government agents are sent to find the two experiments before this incident gets out of hand soon travis learns that his not safe as the is drawn to the dog and will stop at nothing to kill him and anyone in it's way so travis and his mom go to rescue his girlfriend who's being held at the hospital by the two agents they then in the woods while the government agents and the are not far behind br br is not a great adaptation of dean r novel but it is a 80's horror flick some fans of the book may not want to watch this since it's not faithful to the book but fans of cheesy 80's horror movies may want to check this out,positive +put the film down and back slowly away the acting rivals a play the plot is and the production values are slightly higher than community theater the goofs are so that it becomes a rooms are switched around the dead move dogs are used for wolves men shot point blank with 45 caliber are able to walk and ride button and without human touch this is a movie i nearly passed out when i saw the average rating there is no for taste btw there is no nudity,negative +i thoroughly enjoyed from heaven the hopes and dreams and perspectives of each of the characters is endearing and we the audience get to know each and every one of them and all and the ending was a great wonderful and uplifting surprise thanks for the experience i'll be looking forward to more,positive +brett again makes a very good film that is by the so called film experts it is low budget but fun and the leading lady is very sexy i wish i could see more of irene joseph good viewing fun i bought the dvd and enjoyed it the special effects are stop motion animation and much better than the computer generated crap they call effects today i always enjoy brett movies and if you liked this i recommend bite me screaming dead and anything else he has done i look forward to seeing more of his work and well as more of ms joseph i simply cannot see why this woman hasn't been in more movies as her acting is excellent,positive +with all of europe under his control hitler for the last in his way before heading for north america great britain with an overwhelming edge in aircraft looks on paper once in the air however the the by blowing the enemy out of sky air at a seven to one rate the battle of britain on for a over a year as the island nation is but providing crucial time for their american allies to produce more arms for the inevitable struggle br br using more staged footage than the three previous documentaries in the why we fight series the battle of britain has a more propaganda like feel to it with the some with music score scenes obvious to in an ironic twist amid the caused by german air attacks seventh is employed to the visual suffering the story itself is one of remarkable courage by a nation who refused to under to the devastating attacks inflicted upon it by up until that point an war machine it is the 20th century version of the 300 br br there have been more and better looking commercial efforts done on this battle since this film but the and motivation the battle of britain provided then will always make it a more valuable document of england during its finest hour,positive +set in in november 1956 this is the story of a group of foreign who were trying to leave the country at the time of the br br once the airport is closed the titular journey begins on a bus taking them to as would be obvious they are stopped on their way which is where they come up against the almost whose military power as a red army major was marked with loneliness his internal struggle between right and wrong his search for the truth and his need to feel emotions for other human beings he was by the fact that his job had him from his friends and enemies alike and he for social contact br br robert plays the quintessential stiff upper who no matter how serious the role manages to maintain an almost light hearted logical on life while jason has a stunning movie debut which the reason why he had so many roles throughout his career deborah kerr as the leading lady the grace and we have come to associate with her yet manages to bring over the strength and resolve required for her character br br the film deals with a very time in european history but it never to remind us that there is good in all of us and you can never completely judge a book by the cover fabulous that for all the seriousness of the subject there can still be great one liners and comedic instances that add to rather than detract from the movie the chemistry in the cat and mouse game between kerr and makes you understand why they appeared in more than the one film together br br all in all a thoroughly engrossing movie which i would definitely watch again 8 10,positive +contains spoilers br br people who put a lonely ad in the newspaper are often they try to put into a few words everything they are and expect the exchange of letters is full of hope louis jean paul owner of a cigarette company on the de la reunion east of is so affected by the letters of julie that he to her but not the expected pretty brunette comes from board of the but catherine and we know

open are sufficient to louis into a little dog first a joint bank account and then when sister draws attention to herself the flight with 27 millions of 28 millions she would have needed his signature for the entire sum br br louis and sister engage a private detective michel louis to trace marion real name in where she works as taxi girl her gangster lover left her or rather louis finds himself unable to kill her she tells her story orphan lesbian experiences many jail and soon she leads him by the nose again the detective turns out to be sly as a fox and as a blood louis and marion bury his

nearly endearing looks beautiful in her wardrobe by st and her performance is delightful at first she the fragile too to ask her husband for money that's why the joint bank account is needed but after being exposed she sounds like hepburn in the jail scene of bringing up baby the scenery is spectacular the the paris directs with self evident the sixties were the only decade when european films were head and shoulders above american productions after this film was able to look his idol alfred full in the face,positive +thomas edison may have done lots of great but wtf is this i am sorry but this movie is simply awful the plot is that this elephant walks to a certain point gets okay the picture quality looked like someone used it for toilet paper i thought that the early charlie chaplin films were awful okay thomas edison may have been an but why did he make this film he could have filmed a baby being fed it would have been better people might say i'm being harsh on the times but would you enjoy something like this from what i have said edison may have made the but why did he make this particular movie well i might sound like a complete a hole but watch this on youtube then you will see this abomination i still can't believe this film is completely awful all in all the worst short film i have ever seen br br rating 1 10,negative +after reading over all these reviews i'm very surprised to see that no one has even once noted that this show was based on the 1957 to 1960 nbc cop show m squad starring lee marvin i read reviews comparing it to and some of the quinn martin police shows but if you watch m squad you'll see it was based on it in the late 1958 episodes of m squad you'll see lee marvin who plays lieutenant detective frank get out of his car and then hes shot at and he shoots back the beginning of police squad is basically the same including the jazz music and then lee marvin what goes on im lieutenant detective frank m squad a special department of the chicago police and in police squad leslie does the same im detective lieutenant frank police squad a special division of the police department and so on in one of the m squad episodes there's even the johnny the guy character and in a m squad episode entitled more deadly there's a police squad episode entitled a substantial gift the broken promise which is the same story,positive +this movie was one of a handful that actually caused me pain it might be enjoyed by anybody who thinks that it would be funny to see his her mother in a crowded full of people half her age some totally ridiculous dance in a completely misguided effort to be hip in the of that age to see ingrid bergman to such a pitiful performance on the disco dance floor was hard to watch i was embarrassed br br to make matters worse the music in the disco was not realistic at all it is the bogus idea of some hollywood director about what pop music was like at the time that is always a total embarrassment in most films of that era the music is and bears only a painful passing resemblance to the music that was actually popular in the 60's br br is hopelessly miscast as some kind of man he just looks grotesque wide eyed innocence is just too silly the handsome neighbor in her apartment is portrayed way too and seriously he seems like a brady kid who got lost in this farce painful pitiful mess,negative +sometime ago i watched a video of paul thomas anderson in which he express the big interest that he has in porn films and how this industry could've produce better films and in consequence a complete genre and not just sex in video tape paul thomas anderson put his own believes of porn industry in the character played in a terrific way by burt reynolds his name is jack a director whose biggest dream is to make a real film that can keep the viewer in suspense because of the great dramatic story and at the same time exciting with the and with the big and tits soon as he meets eddie adams mark he believes that he has found the new star for his films and that's how the story of the young eddie in the porn industry begins br br the film begins with a sequence inside a night club where we can see all the persons that will be part of life and later we can see them outside the porn industry living their daily routine but soon we can see them inside the porn industry and after only one party the story of the new eddie begins the story of all of them will taste the real success with as the main star winning lots of and helping jack to make real his biggest dream with a series of films about the new character of this sort of exploitation films are an amazing success and for jack are his real films but here is the beginning of the end and the beginning of the horrible 80's when there is going to be ex drugs and rock roll for and pals but we all know that the can destroy any person and the can destroy any porn star and here the film focuses in their lives after the total success and how everybody is having a real bad time with many problems due to bad look to porn industry and to a period with many in after trying and failing in the music industry there's a brilliant sequence that can resume in a perfect way how the things are going for and his friends that sequence is the one of his first drug deal with the appearance of alfred which ends in a total mess is funny for us and a terrible experience for and pals but there's always a solution if you get back in what you know and when is back is back br br well i haven't mention most of the characters in my sort of a summary but i must say that all are amazingly well developed the cast is just superb with the best performance that i have seen of mark moore has a powerful performance in a really moving character macy hoffman heather graham etc are just memorable all of their characters with funny and sad moments br br finally i really love the amazing cinematic style of anderson here with a unique view to the porn industry of the late 70's and early 80's i used to say that was my favourite of anderson but right now after watching all except sidney i can't say that i have a favourite because i love them all br br ps somewhere i read that this film is the scorsese film of anderson so i'm more than sure that if you love and casino you will love this one too i f love boogie nights,positive +ok lets get one thing straight i love dinosaur movies even the bad ones so with this in mind lets proceed is a truly awful film in fact its not even a film in its own right as it is together from bits of 2 primal species 3 there is some new footage with eric roberts as a sheriff and his sidekick running around looking confused frightened or whatever it is there trying to convey badly on the emotional scale but then how can they react to something that was filmed several years earlier the producers yes roger corman i'm talking about you even went to the of hiring 2 people from to play bit parts so there grisly death scenes can be so this film is the of the cheap watch the 3 original movies there no oscar winners but they have some and entertainment value but avoid oh it also has the most pointless sex scene that runs for nearly 10 minutes do you think they were trying to pad out the running time,negative +this is possibly one of the worst movies i have had the pleasure of watching in my entire life the plot is ridiculous and the characters are horrible people i watched this film with 3 friends and we all agreed to turn it off 30 minutes before the end ben character is just plain stupid but not funny at all it is a wonder why an actor of his talent would be involved in such tripe tea does a fine impression throughout to portray the very cold and uninteresting female lead who has all the endearing qualities of a handle throw in a pointless and unexplained sub plot and a horribly cringe worthy montage and you end up with a waste of minutes 60 in my case avoid this film at all costs,negative +after renting one true thing the other night i have learned to respect my family and not take their health for granted i have never seen such a real life portrayal of a cancer victim on screen like meryl delivered she deserves the oscar nomination but she has some tough in the running all i can say is beautiful film great acting from streep and meryl streep revealed her one true ability in this excellent film,positive +ok i have seen just about everything and some are considered classics that shouldn't be like all those halloween movies that suck crap or even steven king junk and some are considered just ok that are really great like carnival of souls and then some are just plain ignored like evil ed or head and brain dead the bud one then some stick in your head once seen and never leave that's what this did to me and for my money this is much better than last house on the left last house was great till the ending then it blew what kind of is gonna give a blow job to someone who just killed their kids completely stupid go find the movie bully or even funny games if ya want realism and to be creep ed out but this damn thing stuck with me for years one cause chuck always was scary two roberts is the best female victim ever three the chick being in still is one of the all time worst killings on film and 4th the powers thing blew my mind and came totally unexpected not to mention the wax figures puppets etc it should be right there with psycho last house texas chainsaw etc it's a classic and deservedly so,positive +i am probably a little too old for this movie 16 and being a guy the story is a little too but i really thought it was a cool movie overall all the girls in this movie are so hot and really great actresses from to to to all the way down to the cute girl that plays little sister rachel i am not a huge pop star fan with the songs but i thought that aaron carter did a really great job in this and seems like he was really into this movie and made it seem real my mom liked all the older that she grew up with so that's cool too i kept thinking that i liked a lot of the people and wonder if i will see them again a sequel would be cool i rented this but i might buy it too since i have a ton of dvd's and like to go back to see something that i missed i couldn't buy it at blockbuster though so i don't know where i could buy it right now but i'll look into that anyway i am a 16 year old guy i already said that i know but i would totally take a date to see this it's really good for all ages really i think even my little half sister who is 6 could see this that's what is so cool about it that it is something that all ages can see i'm sure that was done on purpose but it really works girls can dream about being with aaron carter and guys like me can dream about all the hot chicks in this movie there is something for everyone,positive +michael has accomplished quite a feat especially considering it is only his second start as writer producer and director generally first lack vision and direction when a major production but proves mr is going places in hollywood set with beautiful scenery boasts experienced cast members especially james who communicate vast vision with exceptional clarity few films can mix the slasher horror genre with a genuine action adventure feel but accomplished this completely this film certainly qualifies as one of the top notch films in both of these categories if you are looking for fast paced action with more than a of suspense look no further i look forward to future projects with great enthusiasm well done,positive +this movie was pointless i can't even call it sci fi since that requires more from a movie than merely taking place in space max q isn't even set in space for the entire movie the story plot is unoriginal the cast isn't anything to write home about although it would be strange with a top cast in a mediocre film furthermore it's not particularly exciting or well told at least it's balanced in a low quality sort of way in that nothing or no one stands out everything is equally bland i usually find some quality in space flicks even if it's just 90 minutes of semi lame entertainment on low budget pathetic but max q didn't even give me that satisfaction all in all a complete waste of time,negative +sally and saint anne is a very funny movie the first time my mom told me about it i was 7 and saint anne had just been the saint i had for my saint my mom knew this so she told me to watch this with her i did and have seen it many times since because it is really funny aunt from the andy griffith show was in it and grandfather was the guy who played santa claus in miracle on street so there were lots of actors we seen on tv shows too there is a bad guy who keeps trying to steal the house away and sally keeps trying things with st anne to help raise money so they can keep the house that includes a boxing match with hugh who plays her older brother this is a good and funny movie that i still love,positive +i saw this movie for the first time in 1988 when it was on hbo and i loved it it was so hilarious i have seen it too many times to count i love the brothers and the pitiful ugly dog my favorite quote form the movie is it's so ugly it should be put to sleep i also loved it when the little sister the girls on the back and their faces stick that way i love john cusack and moore in this movie too they were great this movie brings back memories of my college days when i first saw it i rented the movie countless times and watched it over and over my college roommate and i just couldn't get enough of it who couldn't love this crazy movie i want to buy a copy on dvd does anyone know where i can get it,positive +although charlie chaplin made some great short comedies in the late others don't quite make it examples like his new job and come to mind and i would also the in this category br br charlie gets mistaken for a manager of a department store and vice versa this manager tries to steal money from the cash register and make a run for it and charlie is just an honest but getting blamed for some missing objects stolen by other br br there aren't many laughs in it except for the last couple of minutes or so with some great scenes on the for the rest quite disappointing br br 4 10,negative +h o t s is a fun film for a trip back to when skin flicks had a more positive fun filled agenda they were made simply to and have a few laughs everything seems less cynical and jaded the girls all have natural figures and some are playboy the simple plot deals with a group of young women who open a non house to get back at the girls who and insulted them instead of the mean spirited tricks of today most of the are simply innocent fun the women are decent actresses for this genre and are mostly very attractive to keep our attention between the topless scenes we have mafia henchmen a stolen bear a hot air balloon a funky house mother and the robot ever seen there's even danny of the family if you have a sense of humor then let yourself go and enjoy some light entertainment,positive +i was initially interested in this film after reading a synopsis and seeing a few striking and the promise was there for a gripping horror film of the style admittedly i must say that films have occasionally been rather incoherent and some feel like a handful of visually set pieces loosely strung together with a vague connecting plot br br since is credited as writer for this i have to say i'm not really surprised even his masterpiece when examined the same tendency to string along sometimes unrelated scenes purely for the aesthetic impact however also had the benefit of a main character and clear as well as scenes that contributed ultimately to the eventual resolution br br the church on the other hand has none of these things it has no main character no protagonist whatsoever it furthermore has no real plot to speak of and no no climax no denouement and no resolution it is a completely hollow incoherent work that views as if sat down and thought that would make an interesting scene visually let's do it ' the film is a series of these scenes br br initially it might be interesting and direction is excellent i must say cannot be for the material as it is made as compelling as possible however such good direction calls attention to the horrible of the script and there is absolutely no sense in it the attempt at a central plot is nothing more than of carpenter's film prince of darkness events happen solely because the script wishes them to and reactions to those events are completely implausible the narrative flow is damaged after a point simply because there is no ability to suspend disbelief it's too ludicrous added to this are numerous factual errors that are so that it becomes embarrassing br br if it had been more overtly artistic and edited down into a different work it might have been chilling or tense if it had been fleshed out into an actual cohesive narrative it might have been gripping but it was none of these the best it managed was confusing and at times plots are introduced but never followed characters are forgotten about and altered no logic is ever applied to any situation it might have been scary or interesting but to that sort of feeling takes more effort on the part of a screenwriter much more br br all in all the church is not worth viewing for anyone but total of italian horror that is more style than substance this is style at its worst and it is a strong justification for the usual criticism,negative +okay this wasn't the greatest horror movie i've ever seen in my life despite the fact that it's lower budget it's a pretty decent movie though the monsters are unique and believable heck they're even kind of scary in the scenes where they show them briefly havoc on this poor family although when you finally do get to see the monsters completely you really think wtf those things are after them the only part that really disturbed me is when they killed the kitty not the kitty why seriously though if you are looking for hardcore violence and gore this is not the movie for you go rent the hills have eyes or something along those lines if you have small children i wouldn't recommend watching this with them though probably would give them nightmares about in their room,positive +i'm sorry but i cannot understand what people were smoking when they wrote how great they thought ethan was i have seen better acting character and plot development in warning i am going to give away a key element to the plot after holding his family hostage overnight ethan lets his vile evil hated step mom go to the bank alone to retrieve the piece of his late mom's which he so desperately wants guess what she calls the cops wow what a twist i couldn't see that coming at all br br the only good thing about this movie was that it was less than 90 minutes br br pure rubbish,negative +okay pretty good doesn't scream rent me but i was surprised at how much i enjoyed tales while by no means a classic the directors involved do have an idea what suspense is the scares don't just jump out at you but instead the directors build to the climatic moments the film is based upon popular urban legends and ghost stories the writers have updated the tales rather well and twisted them just enough that the familiar endings still pack a punch the best of the shorts are the honeymoon and people can too i enjoyed both as they have nice suspense throughout each story the was a good ghost story and the wrap around the is pretty good too except they go for one too many twists at the end the only disappointing segment is the hook which is fine because it's pretty short anyway overall i give this a 7 out of 10 it has suspense which is lacking from most horror movies today and good acting by the cast it may not rate up there with halloween and the exorcist but it's a good little movie well worth the price of a rental,positive +martha has done some movies working with river phoenix and harrison ford but she was never able to expand her limited appeal into the same class as say molly this film which was barely released is just an of her late '80s early attempts to find a screen persona which was to and it represents another failure plays a troubled young woman who finds out on her 21st birthday that she was adopted and worse than that was actually abandoned as an on her parents' she sets out to find her mother and father but the viewer has no clue why she'd even want to would simple curiosity give her this much determination unattractive material given sitcom handling it starts off on the wrong foot and never gives a sour performance but hector and mary kay place are fine as her parents 1 2 from,negative +hmmm not a on the original from shaw brothers the fighting is average and looks very clunky the story line is as to be expected from a 70's kung fu film confusing and stupid voices for women dubbed in posh english accents for men i turned this off early and i love martial arts flicks get the original its so much better than this average movie don't be fooled i bought the wrong flick what i wanted was the shaw brothers movie i have just started commenting i'm only doing foreign and martial arts films this is just the beginning of my movie collection i personally own most modern martial arts flicks hope you don't waste time watching this one its for die hard fans of 70's kung fu only,negative +was born into a family in the although the have been well known for their over the decades the business has fallen on hard times meanwhile grace carpenter lauren holly is a most talented maker in manhattan but she can not seem to land a prime position because of the glass ceiling an accidental meeting between and grace results in a conversation about a possible solution for them both there is a high profile

reluctantly grace agrees but there are complications some of the judges and fellow contestants may have past issues with both grace and then too although and grace both feel some sort of attraction for the other grace has a long standing very rich boyfriend can and grace win the contest this is a lovely film for the romantic at heart first there is the nice cast holly has always been a lovely actress with a notable voice that her in this film she is perfectly cast as the determined but beautiful grace a newcomer too as the good looking rival baker the rest of the actors including the wonderful brenda as mother is quite nice as a hallmark movie the costumes sets and production are beyond and the script still manages to seem fresh and funny despite some familiar themes treat yourself lovers to a most sweet by a viewing of this film it is definitely the movie equivalent of a big box of quality,positive +i suppose it depends on when one actually sees the movie for the first time that their impression is formed the way it is br br i saw it as a child on tv back in 1973 when it was the stranger and i loved it such was the time when the space program to the moon was a reality when shows like search and man were showing a child of 12 of what the world could hold in their future adventure and technology br br you got to see shows only once and that was when the network aired them the only way people could slash your shows was by making their own parody of it they didn't get to take your show and add in their own comments over it br br i did not know what this concept of a pilot was i saw the movie and was hoping thru out that would get home did not know that there was a possibility of it continuing beyond two hours br br back then would i understood what so many people hate about the movie now i doubt it because i don't remember it as such do i understand now not really for to understand the story one must not see it from their perspective but rather from that of the characters in the movie br br if one is watching as an american it might be humorous about the lack of security in a police state but if one is a subject in that state then could be expected and security can be less when things are suppose to be perfect perfect to an extreme degree perfect that one is not suppose to doubt then one is not likely to question as quickly when things are out of order br br the subplots of the movie are interesting such as the old man who remembers the time before but watches his words since he suspects that there are spies everywhere or that the police state values knowledge to some extent for they are careful about how they control or harm their brain power br br these days one is likely to know exactly what the movie is about before they see it so much of the suspense surprise is lost but the between the astronaut and his doctor at the beginning of the movie is a perfect exchange if one considers that this movie was made well into the cold war and the biggest fear is that he has crashed in the one gets quite a distance into the movie before it becomes apparent that such a possibility is the least of his concerns br br this is the primary difference between the stranger and the latter can be considered timeless since any comments it has about the are minor and lost early on in the movie in the former those are through out the movie supposedly directly in the beginning and then as a theme variation after br br all that said despite my fond memory for the movie it is rather easy to see that it would not have made it as a series each week would make friends would chase would get away eventually society would get rid of him someone else would pick up the chase a would develop there might be a at something new such as perhaps another crew member from mission showing up but it probably would not be enough to keep the show going br br if one goes in with the knives that others have used to slash the movie odds are they will slash it as well but if one remembers that this was made during the cold war and what fears and of the other side were during that time of what the popular environment contained for the viewer then they may find some entertaining and intellectual themes in it,positive +it's a movie with a theatrical message with some clever moments films like these are the grounds of great actors they enjoy the ball in open pieces like these the angel that wasn't what we see in old books and is quite a nice change it is in kevin smith's piece dogma almost in the same slapstick vein br br 0 watch this film for a good day after you suck it all in could it be that so many films are trying to be complicated that we forget the simple movements of films like this possibly one of the most fun pieces i have seen in a while i ran into this one on vhs in a trash can because someone's basement was this summer and i grabbed a handful of tapes br br whether in a trash bin or on the silver screen mild comedies like this are fun you just don't have to tell everyone at a hip nightclub that you like it or a political party just keep it for yourself and i'll bet plenty of people will borrow it from time to time,positive +wow br br reading through these comments i see a remarkable cultural clash theme between the us and the dutch the us p o v appears to be that this is quite a good little movie parker being a likable hero the story a light hearted rendition of what could be a form of reality br br all three dutch reviewers view the world through a totally different pair of glasses it seems they and in surprisingly similar terms agree the movie is a disaster br br far be it from me to take sides in what appears to be a between cultures on this item as wide apart as the ocean that them still based on factual observation i saw the movie with my very own eyes i suspect the dutch are not too far off the mark br br parker kane is poorly made utterly boring and really not worth the celluloid that was no doubt wasted in its creation,negative +sometimes you get exactly what you expect a film produced and by and as a vehicle for a rock band in the middle of a comeback is not to be expected to rank high in artistic merit and in this case it certainly doesn't in fact as expected the soundtrack is a much better investment than the movie itself which like the 70's rock and roll lifestyle it attempts to portray is by excess drugs and over the top antics but unfortunately is not nearly as much fun a script by carl horrible enough to make a fellow screenwriter cringe and wasting the talents of edward the sole highlight of this rock and roll period piece gone wrong is the music most notably the elaborate of a 1978 kiss concert,negative +talk about your classics ernie the from here on out came up with a cute and creative trailer totally star wars this gem is so packed with and gags i laugh every time not only that when star wars did a re issue with new special effects wars did the same talk about a spoof that just won't die there's a reason george lucas calls this his favorite parody he was so impressed he even hired the to work on return of the jedi don't believe me check his entry in imdb br br this has to be the first and in my opinion the best parody ever done i think the special edition was a bit overdone but on reflection i think it's perfect for the modern day re release of star wars and goes to prove that sometimes it's wrong to mess with perfection br br yes it's only 10 minutes but it's well worth your time br br you'll laugh you'll cry you'll kiss 3 goodbye well maybe 15 for the dvd but you'll be real happy you did,positive +i saw this movie for the first time just a short while ago if you ask me it does not get the credit it deserves it is a little like american pie meets fast times at high but with more depth it handles the same issues as both movies but in a way that holds with it some grain of truth the ending is sad but that is how life is i think everyone should see it i have it on dvd form and it took such a long time to find it too that should say something and another thing i will add is that it is quite difficult finding the soundtrack i believe they stopped it but the soundtrack to this movie is amazing it has songs by artists like the the cars and the sunshine band and many more,positive +stupidity that the cartoon made fun of a quarter century beforehand no dead heroes proves that you can rip off a good movie the candidate without a single of quality from the object of your the acting barely on the cable access tv scale the plot is less nuanced than an old sgt rock comic and only boris j style bad guy are missing from the this movie achieves the unusual feat of being too bad too stupid to be enjoyed by anyone with thumbs,negative +a potentially good idea gets completely let down by a weak script which throws all credibility out the window leaving the actors very little to work with roth covers it up as best he can by being all mouth hurt has about as much menace as a bunny and can't seem to decide whether he's playing an ex london crook or some straight off the playing fields at as for poor laura del she does what she can but her character is no more than every northern idea of the stereotypical latino woman who's all and hot if you're a fan of any of the main actors don't disappoint yourself or fool yourself as i suspect many of the other here have done watch it by all means but stay critical you know these guys can do better,negative +this film brought me to tears i have to say that if i did not have a beautiful husband at home i would ask this beautiful piece of art to marry me aaron carter gives a masterful performance as a confused young pop star while timothy barton writes quick and witty dialogue that only the genius of performance kyle is pretty gay but his performance was nothing less than spectacular he is also very handsome and cute i'm thinking about asking him out on a date and giving him a very sweet gift br br if you would like to discuss this film in the future please contact me br br nick class of california west,positive +at last here's a movie that does as much for the of the men of and russia as did for the those of mr affleck and ms lo from the edge of the city details the sad and lives of some young russian who live in and around and spend their time cars getting laid woman and themselves but we're not gay because we don't do you know and if we do it's only once or twice with the same guy there is hardly anything here you have not seen before and better only the locale adds a little novelty even then there's but a scene or two that's writer director 3 steps to heaven offer a relatively generic 95 minutes in which the standout moments involve how stupid sexist and from the looks of things pretty much most of these guys are interestingly the the guy the more he appears what really is the treatment of the women greek and russian males would seem to give the italians a run for their money regarding that famous madonna whore complex has life in improved much for women since the time of and one has to wonder br br if i seem to be russians and in this review i apologize but even the non here the cab driver for instance are creeps according to another review on this site the film a hit on its home was actually by for an academy award for best foreign film what this says about the state of greek movie making i hesitate to,negative +this appalling piece of tripe was conveniently loosely based on a true story that involved two family members of mine played by jack thompson and br br this film is offensive besides the fact that it wasn't a particular good film anyway it does not in any way capture what it was like to lose such a close family member and completely those who were really affected by the true life tragedy br br as for the director he managed to cash in on a family's misfortune for the price of a br br if i could have given this a zero i would have br br avoid this film at all costs,negative +and was the kind of film that you just had to go and see back in the late 50's when i was a kid a biblical epic spectacular with well known performers unusual costumes lots of extras and battle sequences so i went to see it but i remember that back then and didn't impress me at all which was a strange thing since i had enjoyed a lot the ten helen of and others the point is that when you are a kid you disregard things in pictures that adults don't bad acting for instance and you are easier to please with warriors in their battles sword and action so if not impressed then something is wrong with a product of this genre br br this film though it has some of such features is definitely standard and average wooden performance as the king doesn't even light when he has and half naked gina dancing around him she is better and an acceptable acting george sanders doesn't look interested in what he is doing and marisa twin sister doesn't add at all as a sort of conscience br br the final sword duel between and sanders is just for the plot and lacks interest and intensity it had to filmed that's all br br not a good farewell for director king and will probably be remembered as last unfinished picture,negative +this movie is a clumsy of various ghost story and suspense thriller conventions none of them fully realized and all of them rather irritating the script was the acting the scary fx were mostly laughable except for one exquisite seat moment that scared me even though i saw it coming a mile off now explain to me someone why you would need ghosts and black magic and ritual objects and count cg and psychic and family and irish and of milk left out for the supernatural beings and possessed all in the same movie with all that you would expect more than one good moment of horror but this movie is lame lame lame,negative +i like as an actor he has played in several good movies subway but i can't even think he has played in that movie the story is nearly nothing the special effects are very bad and the actors also to resume the movie i have only one thing to say it's the first time that i go to watch a movie and want to leave after 10 minutes,negative +the imdb plot summary makes it sound like it is movie when is the central character it is unbelievable how such a cast of established actors could have been in such an amateurish pointless non movie breaks up with boyfriend taylor sleeps with the devil i guess played by and accidentally kills taylor who follows her about for the rest of the movie as a ghost may be the worst movie i have ever seen,negative +if you are looking for a film that is quick witted and won't bore you then this is the place it is fast paced and funny with some decent acting from the characters it is always hard for me to see mark as anything except mark that image is burned in my mind forever as an actor though he is pretty good this movie is a must see for action fans who like to see a few little twists and turns i will have to pick this movie up one day and buy it,positive +beats me how people can describe this adolescent exercise as film noir true there's a gun a bottle a dame the lead is a private eye but that ain't what makes the genre folks this thing plays like tv cop show stuff lots of bloody beating lousy continuity with a dash of memories thrown in pretty hard to watch beyond the first 10 minutes you want contemporary feel watch anything by john,negative +if you are a fan of early duke movies this lone star is a good one what more could you ask for than duke and lots of good and i found it amazing that singing voice was bill who is none other than bob twin brother it has been reported that bob steele was a high school and friend of duke so twin brother bill may have been too anyway if you like good clean early western movies don't miss this one we don't have to wonder about hidden meanings or try to figure out underlying themes just sit back relax and enjoy a western movie from a simpler day and time it's called entertainment folks,positive +that's right folks this is undoubtedly the worst show in the history of television if you want to watch a sad lonely and unfunny hack comedian attempt to entertain the masses with a half hour of pale and tired social that your mildly retarded cousin commented on at the dinner table then this might be the show for you this is billed as edgy comedy my friends but to be honest this makes tim allen look like richard avoid at all costs unless you're a,negative +each guy tyler meets loses their head over her not of course without some small from is at her beautiful best with matt dillon tops among the interesting initial premise to tell story from perspective of each into sitcom style finale not unlike blame it on with which it has more than a few similarities worth watching nonetheless,positive +the critics were like a movie that will break your heart etc so a friend of mine and i had great expectations when we decided to watch this movie br br i'll make it short and leave it up to others to write about its content this movie tries to touch you to reach your heart but it fails at least for me and for my friend too br br everything that happened happened only on the screen it was always there not here where i am i thought most of the time hmm happening on the screen but it's only on the screen it's not real br br movies which succeeded much better in touching me east of 1955 terms of 1983 jerry maguire 1996 babe 1995 2002,negative +this movie was filmed in my hometown and i was with many of the actors in minor rolls most of them were students at the local karate school and even at the time it was filmed we all knew what a stinker it was it was interesting however to see it being made most of the places it was filmed at no longer exist such as the nightclub the pizza shop etc the world premiere was held at the theatre and we all laughed hysterically at how inane it was i personally believe it's the worst movie ever made but it brings back many fond memories for me watch this movie with a word of advice enjoy it for what it is a very low budget poorly made karate flick,negative +what a wonderful documentary i sat down thinking this would be a rehash of the bitchy stories told in easy riders raging but it is in fact a clear eyed glorious celebration of a strange and twisted era that some truly great movies what struck me was the lack of apparent in the director interviews given that now the movie business sucks in a large fashion instead folk like and eyes seem to positively their glory days the footage of an audience coming out of a daytime screening of the exorcist was priceless was traumatic ' one guy says a great for the late ted a thrilling film i just wish it was longer i could have sat through a three hour cut of this,positive +if you are looking for a movie that doesn't take itself seriously than is for you i must say before i write anything more that if you have not seen any of the camp kill yourself videos than the movie most likely won't be as funny my advice is to watch a few clips of those videos that and his friends made does not take itself seriously at all and that was never the purpose throughout the movie you will have random moments that have nothing to do with the plot which may get annoying but its nothing that is out of control even through all that the plot does stay focused and the story of ryan character does unfold quite nicely this plot i have been told is based off a true story for the most part of ryan ex girlfriend brandon is by far the best character in the movie he has a lot of talent and knows how to make people laugh he stole the movie if you ask me overall i love this movie for its simplicity and straight up weirdness its a movie people its not going to be normal is filled with hilarious quotes that my friends and i constantly used since the first time we saw it i've seen the movie 6 7 times and still find new things every time the soundtrack is just as good everything from kill to new order and some just don't go into the movie with high expectations let it all unfold and then judge it for what it is,positive +br br summary not worth the film br br as an avid gone with the wind fan i was disappointed to watch the original movie and see that they had left out many important characters luckily the film on its own was a wonderful piece when the book scarlett came out i read it in hopes of following two of my favorite literary characters on their journey together while the book lacks any true quality it remains a good story and as long as i was able to separate it from the original was and still is enjoyable however i consider the six hours i spent watching the scarlett miniseries to be some of the worst spent hours of my life any of the original character traits so well formed in margaret book this series also turned the story of the sequel into one of rape murder and relationships that even the book scarlett stayed away from the casting for many of the characters refused to examine the traits that had been so well formed in both the original novel and film and even carried through in the second book and again leaves out at least one incredibly crucial character in the novel scarlett o'hara butler follows her estranged husband butler to under the of visiting extended family after coming to an with she agrees to leave and proceeds to with her o'hara relatives in eventually she her cousin a passionate leader of the to ireland to further explore her family's roots that go deep and is eventually named the o'hara the head of the family while her duties as the o'hara keep her engaged in her town of scarlett out into the world of the english and instantly becomes a sought after guest at many of their parties she having been by time and time again eventually agrees to marry luke the earl of until comes along in a clichéd night on white horse type of a rescue the scarlett miniseries fails even to do this justice raped by her fiancé and by her family the series shows scarlett thrown in jail after she is blamed for a murder her cousin committed br br i advise anyone considering spending their day watching this to this decision br br,negative +is one of the worst movies i've ever seen but on the other hand is better then most of the movies from who are filled with depressing characters and story without any bright ideas is bright optimistic and without any artistic moments in many interviews director tried to tell us that his movie is top quality just because it didn't cost a lot of money but thinking that way is wrong is for me very bad movie the dialogs are really bad written 90 of the script is consisted of the characters are stereotypical morons the story and its twists are very predictable and the action sequences this movie supposed to be an action comedy are filmed very very bad and without any style is just thinking he's even bigger than quentin tarantino so he's his style over all 90 minutes the humor in the movie is very cheap and primitive probably thinks that constant is funny in my opinion is very cheap not only by budget movie with stupid story and very very bad acting,negative +i generally like this movie a lot the animation is supreme meaning they took to trouble to the hair and fur on animals and people and being an amateur at graphics and animation self teaching myself through books for those who are curious on the same matter i use the program by it is a high quality free program that can be from the internet i see that the quality of animation shown here is of high standards br br the plot of this movie is good though this movie lacks character development this story is still understandable generally i believe that this movie is primarily should be watched by people who are fans of the game as its plot closely follows the game as for me i do not play the games and therefore i don't have the effect it probably does on fans of the game br br for those who like the game i suggest this movie to you and if you haven't played the game i would still recommend this movie to you,positive +i was surprised to like this movie since i'm from the check your brain at the door and have fun school of film viewing however this film touched my heart i have friends like mentally retarded emily i have friends like and i've been in shoes chasing away opportunity out of fear and out of devotion to others br br amy disappointment in her daughters was almost on screen and the awkward moments where she tried to bridge the gap with were raw and painful to watch and perhaps i am than most but i never saw the twist with father coming usually i on to those things rather quickly br br my are similar to others posted here i thought christopher wonderful sympathetic character a very different role for him i thought was underused what happened to him once he realized what was going on with the poetry would he like james try again second the ending such as it was didn't seem to resolve or accomplish anything i didn't expect the pieces to be picked up and all the ends tied neatly but i felt that i was left at odds with the characters that there was no real healing taking place here or any real efforts at healing being made br br otherwise exquisite and lyrical and disturbing and for some very very true,positive +it starts off with a view of earth and br br where do we come from and where we are headed br br the story starts with the dawn of man a documentary like view of the pre historic grass eater ape that was facing its due to no physical ability that would let him hunt to eat and the lack of grass and water in the africa the monkeys hadn't survived if it wasn't for the god like of an alien that somehow transformed the apes that touched it and gave them the ability to use tools that were first used as weapons that allowed them to kill pigs to eat for super and to kill other monkeys in fights for water that ape was man an enigmatic start for an enigmatic film br br after the fast forward that leaves the movie at the present days we see a magnificent dance of at the sound of the rest of the movie is about how tools got control of man the strange appears once again to man to his final stage the br br at 1968 the year this movie was released only had idea of what was out there in space after this movie that changed it's took 7 years to be explored the special effects are incredible they are completely realistic even today br br the directing along with excellent taste in music good acting and the fantastic filmography makes it an epic br br the plot with its vision of the year 2001 and the evolution of man tools with an with the end makes it the trip our lives br br if you have never seen this movie see it don't be scared with the lack of dialog sit back and enjoy it's a of evolution it's terrific,positive +this is an incredibly compelling story told with great simplicity and grace the story itself is the object of the film although the scenery is beautiful the acting is understated even superbly so for the characters themselves come through in all of their eccentric simplicity br br this piece of art will likely not be appreciated by those who view movies casually without due attention it takes work to be brought into the story but once you become involved the is complete,positive +in s o s goes from picking garbage to being a on a cruise ship that happens to carry a certain bird and his owner uh oh once again and provide many obstacles to the attempts to get the bird also gets quite a few times too and the second time the red goes to the place on the ship that has something that his it with so now can blow fire i'll stop here and say this is another excellent cartoon directed by starring the popular cat and bird duo s o s is most highly recommended,positive +this film is a completely inaccurate depiction of the real story of the producers probably did not even read the bible this is the worst movie i have ever seen wife was never mentioned by name in the bible but the writers of the film gave her the name this movie depicts the destruction of a good 1000 years before it happened and what about it too was destroyed at the same time was maybe the producers thought that not including in the story and showing the city of as in you know what would raise more this film is utter filth and god and the bible it is a wonder that any true christian would want to participate in the production of this abysmal hideous mockery of the bible,negative +is a kansas housewife whose husband is mixed up in drug two professional hit men morgan freeman and his son chris rock murder the husband in his room by the killers witnesses this and a reaction assuming the personality of a nurse the eponymous betty who is a character in her favorite soap opera believing herself to be the tv character takes off in her husband's car which has a load of in the and travels to la where she hopes to link up with another character in this mindless afternoon drama dr david greg kinnear not realizing she is being pursued by the two hit men she drives to la where she manages to link up with kinnear and is actually written into the show as a nurse named betty a handful of men in the know including the local sheriff catch on to what's happening and also seek in la the ending is believable and poignant br br if that sounds crazy it's because it is and it's the writer's responsibility john c richards the curious thing is that richards and the director neil with considerable help from the performers just about pull it all off this isn't a plot that has been cast in a familiar mold nope i give it bonus points for sheer originality somebody went out on a somebody took a chance on a movie that was not a copy or remake of something that had made money ten years or fifty years ago i imagine the people involved down on their knees every night praying i don't know if the film was but it's mostly successful on its own aesthetic terms br br it's what might be called an initial premise movie you start off with a single event in this case the murder of husband and her of a genuinely new personality and follow the logical paths realistically day is another better and more plotted example nurse betty has its logical cracks where the incidents give up their at a party in la finally runs into kinnear the guy who plays her ex fiancé on tv she's stunned because after all she thinks she's betty who lost her fiancé long ago she approaches kinnear and a couple of his colleagues and introduces herself as nurse betty the character she kinnear by the name of his tv character david the group are puzzled at first then convince themselves that she's an aspiring actress who insists on staying in character during the conversation and afterward too after kinnear has become fascinated by her and the others bored kinnear drives her home and even when she kisses him she's still in character leaving kinnear wide eyed with at the relentless way she captures the character of betty on the next date kinnear returns her love that development the relationship between and kinnear at this point is a crack in the logic the kind that's absent from day by the end of night one kinnear like any other person would realize that is a few short of a circus br br the rest of the film which includes many succeeds beyond expectations the relationship between morgan freeman and his son is spelled out morgan is flawless in his he manages to fall in love with the image of as he clues to her and activities and at the end he can't bring himself to shoot her she's too sweet to shoot after her transformation into betty she left a note behind in kansas i want to help all life whether it be animal plant or who could harm the author of such a preposterous statement his admiration of her comes as an as he stands near one of the at the of the grand canyon dressed as dorothy or maybe the good witch of the east well characters that like are from kansas anyway appears to freeman and he her and kisses her it's a scene that's at once eerie romantic and a little spooky i once stood at one of those lights and threw some paper into the from the dark canyon and found myself surrounded by a thousand bats who had the as br br right where was i okay i was trying not to run out of space performance deserves everything she does every movement every is naive and she really is a likable character and that despite the fact that she's no girl by hollywood standards but what an actress compare her performance as the 19th century in cold mountain just the opposite but then everyone is up to snuff in this enjoyable film does a fine job in a minor role watch her when she tells greg kinnear that she's considering killing off his character in the soap opera in a drowning accident kinnear is one of those who wears the kind of ten thousand dollar thin black leather that were popular at the time he chuckles and says oh one of those deals right okay how do i get back doesn't answer she just smiles at him with those enormous blue eyes and her head br br not a masterpiece of film making but a good original professional job by everyone concerned,positive +what a bad movie is perhaps the very worst movie i've seen all year and i've run across some there is nothing redeeming about this trash from the characterization to the direction to the plot even the usually brilliant couldn't save this movie none of the characters are in the least bit sympathetic with the possible exception of wonderfully portrayed by the only bright spot in this dismal failure br br possible spoilers br br the main problem with is that it on without saying anything it about instead of leading us along the path of the story it also introduces numerous potentially details the brother the mother's constantly being the anti the other murderous father without successfully exploring a single one of them and just when i finally thought that there might be some sort of resolution for the characters the movie crashes to an unexpectedly violent end br br i left the movie feeling that it was trying to tell me something but with the strong impression that the message was forgotten before it could be this is an obvious first film from a writer director who really needs to spend much more time working under more established film makers before any more of her work on an unsuspecting public br br i gave this film 1 out of 10 and i'm usually very generous even with bad films,negative +first off i'm a huge bronson fan have been since the late '70s i watched every film he made on the big screen since love and bullets which ironically was the beginning of his end as a big name hollywood blockbuster star br br i kept hoping that things would turn around for him that he would make a really good film in the '80s but that never happened and i don't know what he was thinking when he signed with studio cannon and hack director j lee thompson for most of his latter films br br gave me some hopes when i saw that peter hunt was directing instead of thompson but those hopes were quickly first off the film looks incredibly cheap like it was made for about 3 minus i heard he insisted on 5 per picture which is probably more than the rest of the budget for all his cannon films the white house scenes were filmed on the grounds in west la i was taking the bus when they were shooting nice job on the white house but did no one think about getting the palm trees out of the shots guess not br br secondly the supporting cast is really bad ireland was dying of cancer and despite this she's not bad but the horrible asian woman playing sidekick was typical of talent at the time non existent i would be real curious to learn how she got this role i can't imagine a worse actress for the part plus she's a good 40 years younger than bronson the story is not that bad and it's something that bigger and better budgeted studios did later eastwood's in the line of fire and bodyguard film but the way it's staged here is really sad i'm wondering if they could not afford to do more than one or two takes per shot none of it is believable in the slightest if secret service men really like the cops in this movie we'd have out of office and out of life every few months,negative +boy's own paper nonsense with a performance from cushing some amusing rubber monsters colourful jungle sets the ever welcome appearance of caroline in animal,positive +this mess starts off with a real tank running over a car with images of a toy tank this is followed by a family driving home from a birthday party without saying anything the unexplained tank and the family take up i swear over 10 minutes of film finally the family sees a car after it has been in a wreck and decides to report it to the proper authorities only to find that the citizens of the town are all hiding in their houses and the cops are hiding in the police station interesting almost when the town folk come out due to the family's presence we learn that both the writer and editor are to substitute suspense with incomprehensible storytelling techniques in the hopes that the audience's inability to tell what's going on will somehow bring upon the audience and it works but not in the way they thought it would i was very uneasy with how bad this movie was but not scared at all the dialogue is composed of things that make little sense not in a fun david lynch sort of way but a sort of i walked in during the middle of a boring conversation sort of way over the course of the next hour we learn that the movie makers try to bore us into being afraid by showing mundane scenes combined with the above mentioned what's going on type scenes br br the plot involves something along the lines of gentle looking old folks putting children into a through the power of satan and then bringing them to a party to play with toys and an even more sinister intention and it's up to a group of white men everybody's white in the movie to grab their guns and save the day and a tag a long eye candy woman who at the drop of a hat they look for the kidnapped children by looking in random places and yelling the kids' names br br this is a great horror movie for any person who has never seen a horror movie because that person is frightened by the mere thought of or even due to a lifetime of from the broadcast network this represents as elderly folks in halloween costumes with while at a party in front of an with a priest completely made up nonsense about while calling them witches the message that anything that isn't can be all thrown into the same category for easy br br about 30 minutes of footage is wasted to show mediocre elderly actors overwrought pseudo satanic corny enough to make a teen almost always in english and sometimes in latin that may or may not be made up words br br highlights include a guy laughing at the idea of little green men for a solid 3 minutes a family staring out of the windows of their car without talking for 10 minutes while listening to elevator a priest studying for 4 minutes with so scary drawings of demons to scare the church lady crowd random shots of dolls random shots of children paint instead of blood at every chance film school level dream sequences introduces characters who do nothing before they exit sometimes they act as if the nothing that they're doing is a big deal br br the directing is sloppy at best an example of the directing includes a scene at the beginning where a man and woman are kissing and the man pulls away to look lovingly into her eyes and some dark red paint falls on her cheek looking up they see that it's not blood but from a girl's are ice and colored water and would not have produced of the same as paint not to mention the fact that her was a bright orange hackneyed writing certainly but made even worse by the bad directing it then cuts to an alternate shot of the man woman and girl and shows that she's standing about four feet away from them so the wouldn't have on the woman even if she'd held her out over the woman's face way to go editor of course the acting is blah the acting by the whole cast could be put on a scale and balanced perfectly between overacting and br br the director's most offensive technique is to give the actors no motivation and then go out for lunch as the eye of the camera as the actors make fools of themselves br br and finally after all that we get to an ending that would've been great had it been handled by competent people and not jerry,negative +the curse is the last in the series of the mummy films and it seems that creativity had run somewhat dry by the time they made this one and his mate both end up in the of and on his he out his beloved princess how they end up in isn't made entirely clear but with various people trying to find them the viewer can be assured of some mummy murders br br the curse was watchable but it really wasn't anything special i had the feeling throughout the movie that i'd seen this before quite frankly apart from the original the mummy with boris karloff the mummy movies are not my favorites among the old universal horrors they're not bad but they do get a bit repetitive br br there are some great scenes in the movie the scene with coming to life in the swamp for instance but overall this didn't do much for me br br it's worth seeing if you want to be and see all of the mummy movies but otherwise you might want to pass on this one,negative +this was a crappy miserably acted movie based on male fantasies a shame that it was based in texas an otherwise excellent state i would recommend this movie to no one and wish that it had never entered my consciousness as i am now so irritated that i wasted my brain cells even paying the slightest attention to it,negative +from the portrayals of andy in the films i shot andy and this is the type of movie i would predict andy might make illogical amoral the movie's almost non existent plot which is sometimes unbelievable is by the movie's rough real looking cinematography the film has a way of being unreal yet reality to the viewer the only worthwhile part of the movie is the development of the relationship between joe and holly and every thing in it should be viewed as a characterization device there are a couple of comical scenes that i do admit are funny but trash is really just about a character study of people that is mildly enjoyable if you do not mind watching nudity and i v drug use,negative +well i guess i know the answer to that question for the money we have been so with cat in the hat advertising and that we almost believe there has to be something good about this movie i admit i thought the trailers looked bad but i still had to give it a chance well i should have went with my instincts it was a complete piece hollywood trash once again proving that the average person can be into believing anything they say is good must be good aside from the insulting fact that the film is only about 80 minutes long it obviously started with a eaten script it's chock full of failed attempts at senseless humor and awful it jumps all over the universe with no destination nor direction this is then with yes i'll say it bad acting i couldn't help but feel like i was watching coffee talk on snl every time mike myers opened his mouth was the cat intended to be a middle aged jewish woman spencer and fanning were no prize either but mr myers should disappear under a rock somewhere until he's ready to make another austin powers movie f no stars 0 on a scale of 1 10 save your money,negative +is trapped in her own home by crazy robert ryan in beware my lovely a film from rko and ryan did three films together and worked well as a team both being professionals and strong performers in this film based on a broadway play called the man is a world war i widow who out a room in her home she's very active and well liked in her community and though her husband has been dead for two years she's not ready to move on the man who her room goes on vacation and hires robert ryan to help her with some heavy duty cleaning in the house he's friendly enough to start but later her her in the house and not allowing her to answer the phone or the door as he grows violent and more out of touch with reality br br the character played by ryan is shown in the beginning of the movie running away when he discovers a dead body in another house he's working in it isn't clear whether or not he's the killer since he seems surprised to see the body he might be a split personality as when his personality turns ugly toward he seems to have no memory of his activities when he comes out of it he doesn't know that he has the keys to house in his pocket and doesn't know why he has tickets to a party that he bought from young children who came to the door br br beware my lovely is a very suspenseful film and the two leads give terrific performances the tension builds to a very high level and ends in a way you're not expecting,positive +well i have to say this movie was probably the funniest movie i have seen all year and i don't exactly mean that in a good way this is probably the most pathetic movie i have seen in a while and yet that's what makes it so hilarious you can tell these people are really trying to act unfortunately for them they aren't doing such a good job making it so even lines delivered in what is supposed to be a serious tone come out sounding really funny aaron carter is essentially playing a character quite similar to himself in real life and still he manages to make the character seem corny and not at all realistic this movie is one of those movies where everything that is supposed to sound serious comes out really funny and all the things that are supposed to be funny are just so stupid and corny that you have to laugh because you know how hard they are trying this movie is so bad it's actually good i would definitely recommend it if your in the mood for a good laugh,positive +this comment is meant mainly as a warning to the people who might be attracted to the title by its high user rating which i find frankly puzzling the reasons why i didn't like this title are following br br 1 the must have had some doubts whether to make a jackie chan type of a flick or a dark tragedy as a result in terms of genre the film falls between two as the tragic and comic elements clash and out each other rather than make a whole br br 2 the characters' motives and are incoherent and unconvincing psychological truth and logic are sadly missing br br 3 absurd casting i don't blame the actors for it is a hard thing to create a convincing character by acting alone if there is logic in the script however why is there an apparent age difference of about 15 years between the leading two actors whose ages in the film can't by more than 3 4 br br 4 to me the film was poor entertainment primarily because of point 2 if you can't find a character you could sympathize with it is hard to follow the story with interest when you finally learn the reason of what happened to the main protagonist it turns out to make no sense br br 5 some films apart from being entertaining are also thought provoking having seen this film i began to wonder whether the thought the director tried to was not that incestuous relationships could be perfectly wholesome and delightful i cannot put any other construction on the ending br br 6 the film is with totally unnecessary violence violence in a film and elsewhere is a good thing if it serves an important and worthy purpose purposes can be different and i don't want to enter into this broad subject let me just say i don't object to violence in such films as saving private ryan the passion of the christ or the pulp fiction in the scenes of torture and suffering are prolonged and graphic or what for i do not know personally i don't any satisfaction from watching teeth being with a hammer or hear a man cut off his tongue with and then see him on his own blood etc etc br br 7 the film reminds me a little of japanese porno in its on incest and young asian girls' and the like it appears there is a minority who actually enjoy this kind of thing if you're one of them you might find this film enjoyable br br in short i do not recommend this film either as entertainment or food for thought where it isn't silly it is disgusting don't waste your time,negative +this movie was thought to be low budget but it turned out to be awesome i just rented it from blockbuster and i loved it the acting was very good hot women and some scary parts it is plain and simply worth the money to pay for,positive +this movie was released in all major cinemas in australia i watched the movie on the weekend of and i thought is was absolute nonsense and i am using that word extremely how it got released to every major cinema no idea the plot seemed simple enough about the world being divided into and people needed identity cards and the actor tim robbins playing an investigator who goes to shanghai to investigate a employee stealing id cards which turns out to be the actress samantha br br you think from that summary the rest of the story should but it doesn't it just the audience even more with different storyline that don't relate br br if you thinking of seeing this movie let me save u the trouble do not get this movie,negative +even though this film is 11 years old i just rented it yesterday and i found it to be a really touching film the story of true friendship in the face of a very real monster is an inspiration and quite touching br br while i did not care much for the amount of language used by some of the young actors especially from i understand that art is imitating life once again does a magnificent job of the rough and tough very and i mean very disturbed wannabe bully his role in the client comes to mind and does a wonderful job of the witty somewhat quirky a child who realizes that his life must end too soon br br while there are so many touching and funny moments in the movie i have to say that my favorite was when the boys were by in the abandoned church and cut himself saying his blood was poison while very and somewhat amusing seeing a grown man running away from two little kids it's one of the hardest scenes in the film br br definitely check this one out but prepared with your you'll need it,positive +just watched on this early experimental short film directed by william vance and orson welles yes you read that right orson welles years before he gained fame for the war of the worlds and his feature debut citizen kane welles was a 19 year old just finding his besides vance and welles another player here was one virginia nicholson who would become first wife she plays a woman who keeps sitting on something that rocks back and forth courtesy of an african american servant paul in during this time a man welles keeps passing her by courtesy of the scene constantly repeating i won't reveal any more except to say how interesting the silent images were as they jump cut constantly that's not to say this was any good but it was fascinating to watch even with the guitar score by larry added in the 2005 print i watched worth a look for welles and anyone with a taste of the avant garde,negative +am i right in thinking i went to see the same film as everyone else this film was terrible i'm a fan of all 3 series of the league of and have always respected the originality of the writers even when the format changed in series 3 this film however was a blatant half effort the plot was extremely poor having the characters going into the real world made this film see more like the last action hero there was about 5 moments in the film that got a mild chuckle but the rest of the time i was wishing it would end this would have been better as a 10 minute short on the dvd it was more of an explanation of what they planned to do and looked like some of the writers on the fate of the characters and they made a joke of this by killing him off in the first 30 minutes br br if your a true fan of the league of ability to stay fresh then you'll hate this film if you only watch it cause there was nothing better on tv then love it br br someone back me up,negative +native son is accused for the death of his father the evil witch doctor orders to him he then comes back as a murdering tree well what can you say about such a film if it was intended to be a horror film there obviously was some sort of bad judgment involved and for a comedy it still isn't funny enough i don't know why people make films like this i guess you have to be in a really silly mood to watch it or you might want to see the incredible monstrous tree which gives a new dimension to a slow death or maybe you want to check out the great acting skills by all involved ms or the dialogue and screenplay which were strangely ignored at the academy awards that year br br shouldn't we try psycho analysis on that tree maybe its mother was afraid of 2 10,negative +if there's one thing i want to myself from all the other great reviewers here it's that i am the queen of finding strange movies in and dollar stores that said you can't possibly imagine how happy i was when i found this one br br i can even remember that saturday morning when every station it so you were stuck if you wanted to watch something else then again i guess that was the idea as a kid i didn't know if i liked the way all the different characters were stuck together there are some that just do not work but i guess the special had it's intended effect don't do drugs because you will have nightmares about the muppets br br now if you watch this as an adult on the other hand you will be treated to the strangest anti drug movie this side of madness i think i'll just leave it at that before i get into trouble,negative +just as in columbo we see the occur right at the beginning what follows is an web of lies sex blackmail and murder the investigating officer adam arkin is even somewhat of a not unlike columbo it is william h macy as the movie critic suspect who carries the film constantly and turning the plot sends macy deeper and deeper into the of his perfect crime william h macy fans will enjoy a slight case of murder as will those who like crime with all kinds of delicious possibilities add some well timed comedy and this is very similar to a fine episode of columbo highly recommended,positive +absolutely amazing humor up beat music and an anti war message make this probably the best movie i have ever seen br br first of all i love how clever this movie is particularly in the vietnam part of the plot it's interesting how they make the army officials the draft look ridiculous follow that with the serious situation of the actual war and then the conclusion which leaves me with anger at the war and yet there is absolutely no violence on the screen wow br br also the music is really cool but what is very unique in this musical as opposed to or wizard of oz for example is that the lyrics don't tell the story the mood does along with the visuals and between songs dialog donna is an upbeat song which the happy mood whereas flesh failures has a driving intense beat in a minor key br br also i notice the scene is not very now i'm definitely not going to do drugs not that i ever intended to br br all things considered this is an amazing movie the only negative comment i could say is that it's sometimes hard to hear the dialog but who cares 10 10 stars,positive +this is one of those so called hollywood social commentary films that wants to have it both ways and believe me in this film both ways are clichéd and stereotypical stop loss is a 21st century john wayne film dealing with some anti war sentiment but clearly ending on the note that if you are a man in today's society you get your act together and march off to war with your buddies in many ways the film was a great sequel to taxi to the dark side as it portrayed a military equally as insane and out of control a quasi frat party animal house mixed in with a texas red neck world of repressed erotic of this movie had it all in one scene after another of clichéd imagery and then rebellious military ryan goes on a road trip with best friend's girlfriend an artificial storyline manipulation to visit families of dead soldiers in military etc and finally to the issue of fleeing to canada or mexico but male honor and win out in the end as all and handsome he rides off into the sunset on a bus with his buddies back to iraq and a world that a few minutes before he assured everyone he could never again tolerate full metal jacket meets of but in the end john wayne rides again and a hollywood blockbuster ultimately gets to keep both sides of its audience in the palm of its at least it would like to think so as far as i was am concerned just take me back to the more convincing reality of in the garden of,negative +as a with some knowledge of the history i was pleased with disney's sensitivity to the issues of class in golf in the early century the movie depicted well the psychological battles that harry fought within himself from his childhood trauma of being to his own inability to break that glass ceiling that him from being accepted as an equal in english golf society likewise the young goes through his own class struggles being a mere in the eyes of the upper americans who at his attempts to rise above his standing br br what i loved best however is how this theme of class is in the characters of parents his father is a working class who sees the value of hard work but is by the upper class his mother however her son's talent and desire and encourages him to pursue his dream of competing against those who think he is inferior br br finally the golf scenes are well photographed although the course used in the movie was not the actual site of the historical the little liberties taken by disney do not detract from the beauty of the film there's one little disney moment at the pool table otherwise the viewer does not really think disney the ending as in miracle is not some disney creation but one that only human history could have written,positive +the various law order and had better be glad doesn't pass through the lady cops and would all be enthralled and the males be subject to such soul melting speed kicks wouldn't you just love to see david and that know it all on get pulled from their respective ice t might start crying and get back on the trail br br low low budget bad but enthusiastic acting and a vision at what offered to its bands soul singers the last of old style circuit that dance james brown wilson and a host of others came from those to glory while their peers on in local or stardom ray moore came from that background and the character of is a mix of the bold black who through he shouldn't have went to the joint the didn't have a warrant how his middle aged self a loyal stable of kung fu is a mystery only a student of can explain but all that is beside the point it's a glorious home movie of a legendary performer that compared to the mirrors of actors ranging from established hollywood to indie film hits its mark a fun dumb movie,positive +i saw this on sale new at my local store for 6 and said hey an action film with that guy from and enter the dragon directed by the guy who did enter the dragon and it's cheap so i bought it this is possibly the worst film i've ever seen and i've seen some br br you know how movies which are intentionally campy like evil dead ii and dead alive are awesome you know how movies that are supposed to be serious but turned out so awful that you have to laugh out loud and watch them again like an old van damme film or john carpenter's vampires are pretty cool this film manages to be neither of those i don't know what the filmmakers were thinking but it looks as if this movie was made with no time to shoot no budget for anything and no script to speak of while i'm on the script note i should point out that has no lines in this movie the only reason he gets first billing on the box is the fact that he's the only actor in the film that you'll ever recognize unless you're a jackie chan fan in which case you'll recognize the bad guy and you'll want to call him br br what's also sad is that this film is from by that time judgment day had come out so you know that the era of 80s was over but not quite after this you'll think 80s chuck norris films high school comedies and jason freddy sequels were works of sheer genius br br things to know br br 1 nobody in this film can act for the closest you get is richard norton looking appropriately rich and cocky and looking appropriately mean and cocky everything else is dreadful br br 2 the martial arts scenes are forgettable just many instances of white guys with lots of taking off their shirts yelling running at lee getting kicked by lee getting by lee then falling down even the final showdown against is short and about as creative as the design of my running and equally br br 3 the rest of the action is pathetic too the guns look like they came from the toy department at k mart and indeed they fire with the sound of a when someone gets shot they around a little bit then lie still with of red on their clothes lee apparently gets shot in the side but you don't see it at all then later that day you see the wound i've had paper cuts that were worse than that br br 4 of course then the girl dresses the wound then they kiss then next thing you know they're lying in bed talking after sex huh what believable development of the love interest as well as any kind of character development at all are overlooked completely in this film remember how bruce lee's characters didn't need to have sex with anybody to be cool br br 5 the car chase is by far the worst i've ever seen it looks like the director was sitting on the with a hand held camera as the two cars down the road doing oh i don't know about 30 miles an hour don't try this at home kids these people are professionals br br 6 really bad writing here's a scene for you lee is being followed so the girl follows the followers to warn lee but her car is too slow so by the time she catches up lee and the bad guys are out of their cars and there's a in progress lee has killed two bad guys but the third is shooting at lee when the girl almost runs lee over so the bad guy runs away huh then the girl's car and she can't start it she tells lee she's involved now and she's coming with him he points out to her that they can't leave her car there because the bad guys will trace it to her she somehow convinces him that he should decide how to deal with this problem so he shoots the gas tank and blows up her car and remember later that same night they have sex huh br br 7 if you look closely in more than half of the nightclub shots the dancers are very much out of sync with the music the dancers are also all way too co with each other apparently in the '80s all people at dance took dancing lessons there is a girl in the dj booth with a but she never does anything except dance the tell people who are fighting to take it outside without moving their lips in one scene the only lee and pass by are just inside the entrance but with their backs to it also apparently if you're a major character in the film you can go straight to the head of the line br br 8 lee notices the first time he is being followed but he doesn't notice the second time even though it's the same guy in the same car the girl however notices bad guys get followed twice but they never notice br br 9 lee is worried the bad guys will trace the girl's car back to her even though they have already seen him show up where she works twice the girl proceeds to leave her child at work in the care of a friend while she is off having sex with lee do not learn from this film br br can't think of more right now you get the idea is so bad it ain't even funny it's sad,negative +i honestly don't know what words imdb will allow me to use in this review as a result i'm having a hard time describing these shorts let's just say there's a good amount of gay sex some some incest a fair amount of masturbation and several artificial members and i loved every minute of it br br not that it's all crude humor it isn't they stray away from fart gags for the most part with the exception of one sketch entitled pizza in which they use one very well they being 3 of the short lived sketch comedy group that aired on mtv called the state namely david michael and michael ian black br br the trio go on adventures usually playing themselves and encounter strange and unusual people people that are often actually more normal than they are the supporting cast is fantastic as well paul rudd julie cooper and sam all make appearances in various sketches they're also joined by other the state like joe lo and todd the musical are also very well placed br br i've enjoyed these sketches over and over again but they aren't for everybody as they're pretty vulgar most of the time if you like clever humor that isn't afraid to push the limits of good taste then i highly recommend this if you liked wet hot american summer directed and written by and or the state then you should really enjoy this br br i think it can currently only be ordered online check out their website and stream a couple of sketches to get an idea if you really want this first and then find out how to buy the dvd,positive +i really liked this movie if other people want to give it an average around 5 0 10 that's their choice i would give it 10 10 performance as a private eye is totally awesome the story is amazing human exciting intelligent the dialogue is good the story might not be perfect but anyway the mood of the movie is good enough to compensate for that moreover the ending is incredibly cool and their the saw puzzle really comes back to together so anyway i liked it i also thought the female lead actress performed very well i'm not a big fan of detective movies but this one was really good also because it doesn't give a damn about conventions of the supernatural,positive +the jazz soundtrack makes this seem like a clint eastwood movie br br in fact the whole thing strikes me as burt doing clint the story is good and the movie is full of one liners that i carry with me to this day reynolds to bad guy i'm gonna pull the chain on you pal because you're up my town and you wanna know the worst part you're from outta state br br highlights the reel to reel is nice set dressing for br br charles coming while listening to tapes of prostitutes having sort of phone sex you'd have to see it trust me it's hilarious br br brian keith plays against type as a tough guy and does it well br br with br br rachel ward wow she go br br doc and the tonight show band play their off as usual joe guests on manhattan transfer re recorded route the soundtrack lends class to the whole affair br br need i say more it might be best film ever br br yeah he plays himself as usual but it works br br enjoy,positive +having watched this movie several times i have come to the conclusion that made a very daring decision to a for when the artist led what most would consider a passionate life while the french revolution and the era across europe surely one that would have sufficient drama upon which to draw while i do understand that mr was relating in the of the tragedy of life the of the world at that time i was left feeling that there was just so much of left out so much of his humanity the strongest and most point this film made was that because of man's fallen nature each of us is a potential villain in the stream of life each of us has evil within us that we must fight with the help of god how when says he should have helped more how true for all of us we must defend and protect the innocent the superbly ironic scene in which the once imprisoned priest sentenced to die the death sentence on who condemned him originally is the stuff of genius i was left wanting something more when the credits rolled maybe less of the unreal and more of the inner life of the characters,negative +i like and la so i couldn't resist this when i saw it for 99 in it is debut scripted film penned by himself and brandon and stars the entire crew ryan himself don etc etc brandon also is in charge of the artistic direction which is one of the film's greatest merits its quite in its colour style but also shows progression br br basically it follows very loosely ryan break up with girlfriend played by played by named after by any chance and play his best mates who havoc by doing various stunts br br its a bit like the films but with a linear storyline which is very basic indeed and poor acting its strange the usually super gang seem to have the life sucked out of them when they know what their meant to say next br br the acting and script is pretty appalling for the most part but the second half of the film is much better than the first 90 mins is a stretch for the flick though and there are a number of redeeming factors such as tony cameo sub plots such as 'the invention and 'the diamond the soundtrack is also very strong its not all and him in fact steal the film in terms of its use of music in the second half of the film the sense of fun is much more real especially since don has a fairly prominent role in the latter part and he seems to steal every scene he is in br br the film will appeal to those who like the antics but only because of the core material and not the filler or story line oh and will someone tell that montages especially in films is 1998 br br however the best part of the package on the dvd is not the film but the 40 mins doc br br the last 20 minutes of the documentary deal with and the real feelings towards each other amazing as usual comes across as a bit of a dick especially towards drink problem and ryan comes across as a really nice down to earth guy the last ten mins of the documentary deal with a friend who is an member trying to kick heroin whilst staying at the household with the crew and a caring side of gang ape and ryan really comes across a startling gem in an otherwise dull dvd br br for 99 i'm very although i hope stays to the improvised and short skits from now on,negative +the china syndrome is a perfectly paced thriller and not slow or boring at all as some people tend to say the transitions from one scene to another are great and the tension build up in the film will keep you on the edge of your seat for the entire two hours jack lemmon is great as always as the somewhat nervous plant and jane fonda succeeds again in bringing some real emotions into the story you can see this film as a political statement of the time or just as an intelligently made thriller either way it is definitely worth watching,positive +this movie starts out a little slow but kicks into comedic gear quickly each of the three teenage girls offer their own believable distinct and entertaining personalities i particularly enjoyed the dialog and interaction between keith and lisa if one looked beyond the superficial action that was taking place character treated with and consideration the comic development that followed was also pulled in expertly in my opinion david gives a wonderful performance as the adult male who clearly gets himself into more trouble than he can handle dialogue was sharp quick and nicely the director and writer of this film clearly showed how none of the main characters got to claim the moral high ground after all the they pulled although the movie appears light on the surface it reflects all the gray areas of becoming an adult human emotions and desire,positive +out of all the bat films batman returns is my favorite this beautiful dark and funny film is one of tim best work although it is much violent and darker this is the batman that creator bob kane many years ago michael keaton his role as the of city this time he's up against two deadly danny penguin and michelle with a great cast and film score by danny the movie takes us on an adventure as batman battles the evil forces that are trying to take over city christopher walken makes a great appearance as max shrek a businessman who has an evil scheme up his but of course michelle pfeiffer is the one that steals the show with all of these you have a film that will blow you away this is the reason why you go to the movies it's got everything it's really a shame that tim burton didn't get to direct the other sequels if so i think the franchise would still be going strong today batman returns is an awesome experience for fans that like cool movies,positive +i waited a long time to finally see what i thought was going to be a fun caper flick and was shocked to discover shoddy direction awkward dialogue a lackluster pace slapstick gags and an overall that the film throughout just not funny the sets looked cheap the costumes by the usually excellent are and distracting even the title song is annoying the whole children's book characters doesn't come close to representing the married couple whose life is turned upside down when he loses his job for a film that seems to aim a at the of and systems the filmmakers have no problem in being unfair themselves allowing hispanic black and gay stereotypes played at such a cruel level the look of the film resembles any episode of love american style this is not a compliment tacky seventies fashions abound in this world of white collar that only lends an air of to every situation outside of a clever initial idea and two capable stars in jane fonda and george segal this dated exercise in social commentary comes off as forced and mean spirited to especially to gay people if you want a better caper film you're better off with the hot rock with george segal and robert redford or what's up doc with ryan and barbra streisand now that's funny,negative +i liked house of dracula much more than house of frankenstein carradine is much more passable his acting isn't as ridiculous overboard as in the actors deliver solid enough performances the subplots the monster the village the village idiot the nurse etc are mixed in well so that none becomes an odd as in better run than the together the nurse is as likable as the in the doctor is very good as well adds a classy touch with his worth watching twice a classic universal horror with that typical 1940's long lost flair especially good is the doctor's performance before after his blood had been with,positive +john carpenter's brilliantly suspenseful flick is a great of sci fi and horror the classic body theme and taking it to the extreme a remake of the howard produced 1951 original carpenter keeps the cold war themes of paranoia and trust as a backdrop of alien and impending doom amidst madness and the isolation of the setting carpenter's direction as always is excellent as his camera through the lonely world of the characters whose environment is about to be by the fear of body but here and much like the work of david carpenter doesn't hold back on the incident as through some fantastic special effects we are witness to some insane moments of surreal gore however he never loses touch with the human side of the story as in the face of everything shocking happening in front of us we are left with perceived notions of trust and suspicion br br 9 10,positive +serious is like a 3 bottle of wine had no substance to begin with and just gets worse with age this film proves he is completely toxic we can only hope that this is his final film and that its serious lack of success will his chances of for any future it is right up there with lightning jack and les saves the world as the most abysmal example of australian comedy imaginable how tragic it is that with so many infinitely superior comedic talents in australia is given such vehicles to express his brand of school yard comedy and to think he had 7 years to come up with the script true genius,negative +there is nothing worse than science fiction crafted by folks who don't have a feel for it at a concept which wouldn't be so terrible by itself a future where is common enough that it is necessary to make it a crime for you to breed with someone too close to you the screenwriter to allow his ill suited imagination to run wild br br when tim character was able to guess a security computer simply by getting her to tell him one thing about herself i knew i was in for trouble this ability was later revealed to be due to robbins having taken an empathy virus being used to grant instant or nearly instant skill to their users love interest complained about her own experience with such a virus a chinese language virus which allowed her to speak chinese but as she complained she couldn't understand what she was saying okay first off empathy no matter how intense isn't without some sort of true mind reading aspect like an empathy virus which releases into the nearby people picks up bits of their memory then for the original host which is as you can probably tell a on the side you can't justify being able to determine a specific detail like someone's just by listening to the things you didn't say nor can you the ability to speak a language without understanding what you're saying the virus can't your vocal and translate for you on the fly because a virus can't think to give you the power to speak chinese such a learning virus would have to your brain it would have to the knowledge among and once it's in there it's yours you certainly understand what you're saying because you have to to use your own brain to perform a task you must understand that task for the most part unless of course they movie is suggesting that the virus was deliberately designed to put in place some bizarre multiple personality mental where some sub of yours functions as a built in one way br br the of languages spoken by the characters is decent enough although nowhere near remarkable enough to warrant all the love other reviewers have given what's more all the in the world can't make up for a simple frustrating fact the dialog stinks it's slow it's plodding and it's unnatural again i'm sure have convinced themselves that the dull is simply the result of an inspired genius creating a truly futuristic and therefore subjected to drift form of speech i disagree good dialog is good dialog in any era and the same goes for tripe br br lastly i'll the central concept of the movie the of sex with yourself is a nice classic sci fi topic so is global warming leading to which code also unfortunately the two don't go together if you have an disaster cutting down severely on the available living area you don't run around people you have population problems enough as it is you don't add to them by out re issues regular old fashioned sex and birth provides all the population you need and of any sort would be br br to be fair the movie wasn't all bad it had some nice cinematography perhaps if i had watched it muted i could've enjoyed it,negative +by the time this movie came out in 1996 director mark lester had been making tight sharp little b action pictures for more than 20 years he was responsible for the great truck stop women from the '70s and several other little gems unfortunately he's also responsible for this dud it's a shame to see the talented and still smoking hot russell wasted yet again but she's still the best actor in this picture eric roberts shows up for a while does his eric roberts thing then goes away a not altogether in a picture with eric roberts in it frank stallone actually isn't bad which should give you an idea of how truly pathetic this picture is as has been mentioned by other reviewers the action scenes which is the reason a picture like this gets made in the first place are almost completely illogical and unrealistic in addition to being somewhat inept other than some vintage clothes and a few old cars there's no feel whatever for the 1930s the era in which this film is set a by the numbers script with irritating in logic and little historical accuracy this isn't a documentary of course but the filmmakers could have at least tried for a little authenticity and performances that range from grade b to grade school this cheap little to the 4 00 a m sunday on hbo which is just where i saw it,negative +starring and – is a low budget drama set in a latino neighborhood in nyc br br a young comic book artist wants to escape his latino neighborhood when his father is crippled by a the young man is forced to run the family br br the movie was shot in a budget low resolution video and poor audio with low profile actors br br the plot well for 85 minutes but the last 5 minutes were just terrible we don't know for sure if and his girlfriend remained together and if angel ended up in jail for the shooting br br 4 10,negative +i bought this rental return for 1 99 at hollywood and i didn't expect much but thought it would be something to fall asleep by at least i quickly noted the very weak storyline the gross overacting by everyone no one talks like that except in cartoons and the seemingly let's make it up as we go along direction i know that the participants in this mess must be very embarrassed by it and i feel certain that it did not help any careers as for this movie buff of 35 years it has now provided a ready answer for the worst film you've ever seen question br br,negative +brothers wannabe from writer director paul relies far too much on ideas lifted from other better movies yet does manage to create a creepy atmosphere that keeps one watching robert cuts loose as never before playing a psychiatrist ha ha who goes on a killing spree in the desert the film is unusual but in its attempt to keep one step ahead of the audience it becomes and off putting with a role for amanda plummer that is downright an admittedly finale many quirky bits of business and looking great in the nude make this a curiosity item nothing more veteran movie director produced and maybe should directed as well could paul be a 1 2 from,negative +this show has been performed live around the country with a wide variety of casts i saw it first in the production the first summer it was in p town 2001 before it was curiously enough banned in that gay resort the which resulted in its closing have since been i saw it again later in the off broadway long running production in new york oddly enough the p town production was far better than the new york one more spirited and funnier but that was only in the 2001 showing subsequent attempts to clone the production bare naked in 2007 were definitely third rate this filmed production features a los production cast and it is as other comments have suggested not the best i would rate it somewhere in between the top notch 2001 p town production and the third rate bare naked p town show from last summer,negative +is i think a very film the plot was with symbolism ie the white and red and plot twists which wrapped themselves up neatly the look was very and pulled you closer to the story i saw it in london and very much regret that it is not out on video in the states,positive +i watched about the first 30 40 minutes of this movie on television the other night and can agree that this is by far the worst of the series not any of it is funny even randy quaid can't save this mess eric wasn't funny in n l euro vacation and he's even worse here the only funny scene is where they're at the airport and some guy dressed as santa walks by the camera yelling did anybody lose this as he holds up a leg br br 1 2 a star out of,negative +the film tells you to be aware and it also destroys any and all things the bible claims to be true to people like me the first episode was interesting and the second was disastrous it has been called and it is if you are a believer it is sad to hear that many people think of it as a good sequel to the bible however the film shows you a lot of things and subjects that can be interpreted as a version of the revelation some of us think that such things are not to be abused one good thing about the film is that it strongly encourages awareness and makes you consider your actions twice the director just seems to forget that some people act that way already solely based on the fact that they believe and love as in the bible why attempt to change that unless you be the devil yourself,negative +dracula 3000 or van revenge cheap cash in on another lame vampire flick as i saw it is a master class in how not to make a movie a tag collection of board a previously lost ship the in the system which later is to the galaxy and awake a relentless evil in this case the script the film is a bizarre of event horizon and whatever the vampire film of all time is br br follow after a of production company and a credit sequence that most of the budget must have been blown on we open with a cheesy exposition type speech from casper silly name who plays captain abraham van name and in of actual character development goes on to describe the twisted that make up his crew van himself sports a on and wears a body throughout in a sort of retro 80's tribute to han solo i guess now and again the captain of the pops up in some sort of mad video diary to tell us nothing of consequence in a german accent subtitles sadly not included boards the ship alone armed only with a gun shaped torch and thick east european accent while with van on his ships bridge which is basically a single wall wearing a gas mask with rubber glued to the front encounters what can only be described as a in a black cloak who continually by the camera why this happens as the vampire is not yet made flesh is never explained this leads on to a shaky camera chasing down the until she runs into it's possible will smith could have been in to write lines as most of them consist of reminding us he is black every ten seconds and saying the word ass enough for a guinness book of records entry while delivering all this in a from da hood accent this is the year 3000 does da hood even exist one of the main problems with this film is that it insanely tries to pretend its set in the year 3000 unfortunately anyone with healthy eyes won't buy this as the looks like a soviet style ocean going possibly the film crew thought it would be okay to leave hammer and symbols everywhere and a sexy poster of next to a bunch of and explain it away as some sort of futuristic communist comeback special the clothes look as if they were from a collection box sealed since 1993 and they are armed to the teeth with latest in 20th century automatic weapons with added year 3000 when fired which of course are absolutely no use against vampires is a thing of the past in the future as the professor not only has glasses but is in a wheelchair my god what happened to all that genetic stuff br br the professor is an interesting character as he is a direct rip off from alien who had their own tag crew with a guy in a wheelchair who oddly wasn't killed fans didn't take to as he appears scared in a lot of scenes if i were in a non wheelchair access soviet ship pursued by bad acting vampires and everyone left me because i was such a whining i'd be scared too br br during the un dramatic chase scene the informs us with feeling this is the rest of his lines are also and we're all going to die x 100 follows br br erika appears as the vice captain what happened to 1st officers in what i thought would be the tired standard issue hard no nonsense don't eye me up unless i tell you too beat up 10 at one time super babe but this is a z flick so she basically wears a tight low cut top and even leather performance the ham factor by 90 and is than a row of but luckily for us he dies soon enough although he seems to keep his heart on the right hand side of his body br br after a lot of running up and down the same using clunky soviet style controls and sitting in soviet style locker rooms the crew find themselves stranded as their own ship off to find a more interesting crew probably why dracula is even mentioned is unknown as the main bad guy is called which is space for crimes against fashion as he about in a big shirt and even bigger collar making hammer horror vampires look slick by comparison stops to explain his entire back story off camera to but fails to kill her in another rip off twist from alien his back story is such a load of it's not worth repeating as the budget can't afford fight special effects original music script not written by a and even proper end titles the first cast list i saw were same characters but completely different and italian names the film begins to destroy whatever sanity you began with the crew luckily are able to fight back with the help of a ships computer that contains obscure millennium old references on how to kill fictional creatures and some handy 20th century pool they find in the ship recreation room up yours the ending is awful and a little suspect either they ran out of money or the ex their ship back i walked into this film knowing it was bad but oblivious as to how bad it really was,negative +one of the best silent dramas i've seen as dark and shadowy as anything the german produced but featuring performances that were quite understated and for the day no camera and no unintentional laughs due to wild eyed arm waving gave a convincing performance as the drunken mean spirited and frightening david br br set mostly at night in a swedish the film had a very claustrophobic set bound feel to it aided by the low key lighting and extensive use of br br there was a deep and typically sense of despair and to the narrative the film begins in a rather grim present and then we're told david story in a series of flashbacks and flashbacks within flashbacks a pretty complex story structure for where his character is offered numerous chances at redemption but he doesn't take them and we know he won't take them because we've seen him die drunk and wretched and mean as ever in the present the scene is as dark as any i have seen in all of cinema br br the writing and directing is tight and intelligent even by today's standards in several instances sets the audience up to suspect one thing and then pulls out a surprise the ending might not be such a surprise to some viewers but i didn't see it coming br br this movie deserves a full and dvd release or even a crappy budget release it just needs to be out there so people can see and appreciate it br br 9 5 10 which rounds up to 10 10,positive +first nick pearl harbor was bombed in 1941 not 1942 they didn't have to predict the bombing br br second did nobody notice these six lawyers whatever were missing for a rather long amount of time they were killed before the surgery took place third how the heck did lugosi get out of without being seen fourth why did the japanese not just kill him instead of putting him in jail with a convenient look alike companion and his fifth oh what's the use this movie has a few interesting moments in it but by the time they explain what's going on you'll probably have stopped watching if not you won't care,negative +this film is about two female killers going on a tour to kill random men they meet br br wow just became the worst film of all time in my list the plot is crazy pointless and unnecessary the whole film is full of violence and sex and i am sure no sane parents would want to show this film to their children i don't understand what people get out of by making this film or watching this film maybe someone somewhere has their perverted desires there is simply no excuse or reasons for the existence of this perverted and piece of work br br the only i offer myself is that i watched it on fast forward so that i have not wasted as much time,negative +i loved that the mood was light and i loved that the lead character wanted about his future and that his roommate sets him straight of all people i loved that they the dynamics of how the members in the men's group dealt with each other considering this was directed by a lesbian the whole theme of was put out there and what makes a man what makes one straight gay or you aren't really sure if our lead character has decided on who he really wants he's living in the moment and thrown caution to the wind these and other reasons make me love this film,positive +my wife invited my son and i to watch this on cable tv on a lazy saturday evening thinking that it might show an unusual role for juliette lewis on this promise at least the movie delivers her character is to nearly every slasher type horror movie cliche as does the movie a of its studied to them would be an exercise in recall of something i hope to quickly forget so i won't make one basically this is a heavy on the red herrings everybody appears guilty rather than just the two one suspects from the beginning the rule out the logical and obvious and what's left is it rule of bad horror movies works well on this one the only surprise to have any impact on me was its final of the ending cliche will jane keep her with her attempted who will tell her the obvious to the audience identity of the 2nd her into another round of hysterical victim play mercifully i will never know,negative +a dangerous killer is up in the abandoned and rotting hotel alone with his nightmares until eight teenage show up for community service duty along with the cop who wounded four years ago when one of their own is kidnapped by the killer and her fate uncertain the remaining petty criminals must fight for their lives see no evil was directed by the porno filmmaker gregory dark and it stars wwe superstar kane as psychopath the supporting cast is terrible and there are no surprises to be found here but there is enough extreme violence and gore for slasher fans to enjoy overall i liked this film and you should too if you are into mindless slasher flicks sure it's cliché but who cares 7 out of 10,positive +of course this came out right at the beginning of the 1980s of course it did those drama students dancing in the street to irene famous theme song it's an eighties leg style image but there's more to the film than that there's and one man's struggle to learn to read and a struggle with sexuality and an attack on a child and one girl tricked into taking topless photographs and of suicide in the end though it is also about that song,positive +i absolutely love the first three movies they were great i once caught part 5 on vhs 10 years ago and i was disappointed but perhaps that was because i never saw the fourth one because they were shot back to back but after finally viewing a copy today i have to say it was no way better than number 5 my expectations weren't high to begin with but this is cheap direct to video stuff not even a horror movie it's pg 13 the acting was not convincing the story was rather dumb without any excitement and there were not many effects but the main problem is that there were no kills or any gore the annoying kid who gets killed in his car was supposed to be the highlight but come on br br surprisingly both parts 4 and 5 were directed by sequel director jeff who gave us the excellent ii and texas chainsaw massacre iii i liked puppet master the legacy even if it was nothing else than a tribute with the best scenes from all movies br br overall puppet master is very much like the series a great trilogy but forget the rest,negative +the retelling of a classic story is set to the music of burt and lyrics of hal david the actors seem like real people in this fairytale of the outside world meeting with mystical la it is a joy to watch bobby van whose acting puts me in mind of red buttons and as always george kennedy cool hand luke who always manages to carry in his roles br br the surprise here is charles boyer as the elder high who would have known br br all star cast including michael york and olivia makes this work a keeper for those of us who people,positive +the first film i saw from these people was children of the grave and when i heard that this one was coming on i thought it would be good to watch mostly because is a real place that is to be haunted this documentary film was awful there was too much fake commentary from the producers directors camera men they needed to keep their faces out of this film has been to be haunted for a long time yet if anyone in doubt about it watches this film they will no doubt start to believe that every story about the place is as fake as this documentary the proof was horrible and almost non existent i have heard better from high school students with tape in a bathroom they tried too hard to make things scary and the end result was that nothing was scary not the stories not the too dark to see anything videos not the pictures not the tape children of the grave was bad as well but at least it had some substance and a little bit of a creep factor the only reason i am giving this a 3 is because the history portion of the show was very good and informative learning about how the hospital came about the daily life there and how it ended was the only thing worth while in this piece of crap,negative +there was a video out in america called that featured about an hours worth of banned cartoons br br most of them were wwii era that's where i first saw and heard of this one br br the during the opening news broadcast turns into a with an asian face saying a doo please ' after that it's eight minutes of propaganda played out like a br br racist but when you look at it as the piece of history it is it can and should be forgiven br br cards to make br br showing the ruins of rome while calling 1 ' br br a using a br br a bomb with the pilot saying me out of here ' br br and of course the stereotyping every japanese was drawn with big teeth constantly and saying at the end of every broken sentence br br the funniest bit the air raid that was two men stabbing each other in the with br br hey let this one out it deserves notice my wife laughed at this and she's 100 japanese,positive +i have been wanting to see this since my french teacher recommend it to me over forty years ago perhaps the long wait was worth it since the collection dvd is impressive br br in its outline this movie follows the time worn script a of men plot a difficult heist of a bank vault the heist takes place a small seemingly insignificant event leads to the ultimate demise of all even though the heist footage is it occurs rather early and is ultimately not at the core of the film this film itself from the typical heist movie by giving us insights into the personalities of the characters and their motivations its plays as much as a drama as it does a thriller relationships play a big role and a kidnapping is tacked on giving us two movies for the price of one br br john plays the idea man tony le always referred to as le with such world that he could have just stepped out of a novel tony has just recently gotten out of jail and re entering the life of crime until he has a highly unpleasant interaction with his ex lover who has taken up with another man where as punishment he physically her with a belt thankfully that scene occurs off camera but you are not likely to forget it after that event since there seems little hope of that relationship tony meets with two of his old partners in crime jo and mario and decides to join them in one last big heist they the services of an italian safe cracker played by director himself and we are off to the heist br br the heist goes off without a but bent is a personality that turns out to be fatal for all concerned however we can understand his attraction to the nightclub singer he has fallen for since there is a brilliant set piece where she performs a sexy and inspired nightclub act it has to be one of the most memorable scenes from any noir film br br it is established early on that tony has a close relationship with jo and his family in fact son refers to him as uncle i think it is partly to help family that tony agrees to the heist the ending scenes where tony saves the life of kidnapped son partially his more brutal and amoral actions but only partially,positive +luis has always been a filmmaker whose work was obscure to me my first experience with him was the charm of the often considered his greatest work with which i became so frustrated and bored that i eventually shut the tape off likewise belle de which is almost certainly his best known film and also generally considered one of his many masterpieces didn't interest me very much at all i didn't hate it like i did but i didn't like it third i saw finally i had gotten somewhere fourth los also good still neither nor los blew me away great films but not masterpieces br br is my fifth and i like it just a tad more than those other two it is about a priest from spain now in mexico who refuses to live in the kind of luxury most priests live in he wants to be more like jesus leading the life possible he's also willing to forgive everyone for anything and to suffer without protest i'm pretty sure does not sympathize with the character and sees him as rather self righteous however i only assume that because of my knowledge of the director whose most famous is thank god i'm still an which he apparently said in an interview over this very film i get this information from john book about if you're interested the who dragged those words from mouth must have been himself confused about one who was more to believe in religious conviction who also knows nothing about might see the priest as a heroic figure this is especially true if that viewer has his her own criticisms of organized religion the priest may be somewhat self righteous but he seems to be basically a good man when he a violent prostitute in his room in order to protect her and presumably to save her soul people begin to find out and assume that their relationship is sexual his superiors assume the same and him for it later on he suffers even worse from,positive +wrote this film 40 years back wanted to cast kumar in the lead br br the film finally was re written and made in 2003 and hence the subject looks dated and too superficial at times br br like the reason amitabh separate is too superficial even the way the youth are shown is too bad like in br br the message though comes well but things are presented in a clichéd manner character is the worst looks straight out of a while the climax speech of bachchan is good and also the final of not the sons is good br br does a good job music is decent the songs sung by bachchan stand out br br amitabh excels like always he has played an elder stern father earlier but here he plays a victim and portrays it well his last speech is great is good in her part stands out is okay and the rest sons and wives are decent though stands out salman khan is fake is okay and are lovable,negative +this movie could have been oh so much better it is a beautiful story set in very trying times and yet it was so poorly executed the leading actors have in the past done excellent jobs and for the most part they do an adequate job in this film although at times their dialogue seems stilted and forced the directing could have been more the bulk of the criticism should go to the writers who took a good story and made it tedious in short there are thousands of much better ways to spend 2 hours,negative +definition of documentary a work such as a film or television program presenting political social or historical subject matter in a factual and informative manner and often of actual news films or interviews accompanied by narration the key word here is informative i love they might be giants and barely learned a thing about them br br the interviews with all the celebrities were pretty much worthless i don't care what sarah thinks of anybody and straw was downright irritating and is listening to people lyrics like they were supposed to be funny interesting it was neither i think that was the problem the movie spends time discussing love for coffee so what millions of people love coffee was the presentation of the material funny no there were hints that both men are married yet it was never discussed and what about the solo material they did what motivated them to do it these type of questions are not addressed nor answered br br i could go on and on with the i did find the segment on a song very interesting if you want to learn about they might be giants just buy a few and listen seriously this movie is a gigantic disappointment i can't believe so many folks gave it a 10 incredible,negative +i saw this movie on a show that was showing bad b movies and trying to get you to buy them it basically was just a long trailer but gave you a really good idea of what the movie was about after viewing the trailer i thought i would rent this movie because it looked stupid and generic but could still be entertaining in a perverse sense it's not entertaining in any sense of the word the film has two or should i say four things going for it and it's not the number of deaths it's the women they are hot and naked a lot and ms could be a actress but not in a movie where the emphasis is on t a and corny dialogs this isn't even a horror movie or scary unless you are talking about watching the actors try to act the production value is pathetic the acting is worse and the writing is the worst what was the point in making this movie to scare people to rip off texas chainsaw massacre to try and be funny to show off the women's breasts to put some guy's head into a retarded outfit with fake hands and legs to have a character just say the word snow over and over to not have any real violence but have enough nudity in an attempt to cover up the fact there is no real plot to be able to make a sequel to a movie no one has seen or will ever watch i made a mistake in picking up this movie don't make this mistake too br br stay away from this movie,negative +honestly i loved michael although there were give me a i need to take a parts it was cool i think everyone did a great job in this film and nora is in my ok list of directors br br it's nice to see john travolta as a pot angel it's not very often i see one in a movie some people might call this a boring movie but for me i loved it angels and all,positive +i'm not a big musical fan but this is one of the few i really love unlike many other musicals such as the sound of music none of the songs are about gratuitous stuff each song is social commentary on war sexuality and freedom especially amazing songs are easy to be hard age of hair flesh failures 3 5 0 0 walking in space and totally revolutionary and wonderful i can't wait to someday see it live,positive +this was charlie first all talking film yes there had been a little bit of sound and speaking inserted into his previous film modern times but it was still essentially a silent film so it wasn't until 1940 that the public got to hear chaplin speak on film br br the movie is incredibly famous and has a stellar reputation while i enjoyed the film i was not nearly as impressed by this as other full length films of the mid and 30s that's because i really felt annoyed by some of dopey over acting when he played especially when he was giving his speeches the silly pseudo dialog just seemed akin to something a lesser comedian would have used such as the three stooges plus playing a funny hitler is hard for me to take br br however when chaplin played the jewish he wasn't especially funny he really wasn't intended to be a funny character but he was a tremendous voice for reason and decency this film should not be remembered as a comedy especially since it doesn't really there but for its excellent acting and humanity the final speech by the is brilliant and almost brought tears to my eyes watch the film for this reason alone,positive +this movie was included in the six wives of henry bbc miniseries dvd i loved those six movies they were well acted well scripted and historically accurate i did actually read book and liked it well enough despite it's huge historical inaccuracies i mean the whole fake homosexual angle with george in particular but this movie didn't even mention that that angle was one of the pivotal points of the book br br above all this movie just leaves me asking why why do we see as someone else put the real world england why are the camera angles so bad in general br br why is the script so bad i mean i know it was but come on the actors at time and over their lines and it's obvious that they're making them up as they go along br br why are the sex scenes so awkward the way they were done in the book made them at least somewhat interesting in the movie they're just bad on being absolutely hilarious at one point the actress playing mary was having sex with the actor playing henry he's away and she's got this look on her face that says i need to go to the store is he done yet maybe if he finishes i can go pick up some cheese real quick it's just bad br br why does catherine of play such a small role in this movie her to get a divorce was one of the leading causes for the scandal that she's the reason why henry and anne couldn't get immediately married why is she not present here over all this movie is just bad,negative +this adorable dog called various names during the film is seemingly loved by the whole town but he's alone he is friends with two children cindy and paul played astonishingly bad but their father won't let them have a dog then meets another adorable dog they instantly fall in love and it leads to a hysterical montage of the two of them in the grass drinking from a in slow motion no less also lives in the abandoned house i've ever seen then the two kids are kidnapped by the most inept i've ever seen and wouldn't you know it they hide the in the exact house lives in br br wow was this bad a huge hit for some reason in 1974 which led to many sequels which i will not see the film is just terribly acted with humor so unfunny and badly done that you just stare at the tv in the film also has a song that is played during the movie so much that you want to scream it was inexplicably nominated for best song at the oscars it didn't win yeah the dogs are adorable and much better than the human actors but i need more than cute dogs to keep me interested br br you might think i'm being a little hard on a kids film but i saw it with my 5 year old nephew within 20 minutes he was bored silly and basically stopped watching i kept watching in hope that it would get better it didn't really lousy but very patient kids or dog lovers might like it br br note to parents it's g rated but a dog is kicked a few times you don't see it you just hear it and the dog survives but this might bother real young kids,negative +the reason i like this movie so much is because of the spirit it has it's a summer camp movie so the jokes aren't mean minded in a lasting way that makes one character the permanent butt of pranks do take place but you get the feeling that the respective fall guys would be able to look back and laugh having been dopey enough to fall for them and without being too cheesy it's actually kinda nice that everyone still remains friends in the end br br it's an extra special bonus when the of all these jolly is bill murray for me he's still looked upon as the comedy god without when he gets a chance to cut loose no one's better at a sense of wacky without really hurting anyone the tone of the entire film has the same style as its leading man established with a great opening scene showing the murray way of getting ready for the day silly yes but more important than behaving like an adult is to have a whole lot of good natured fun promises such and ultimately delivers a watch,positive +i was sick one day and was channels and i came upon this terribly rank movie the plot and even the subplots if you can find one have been done to but as bad as the story was i a special comment for her character was absolutely one of the most annoying characters i have ever has the misfortune of seeing on film her only two in this category are john in the and julia stiles in anything she's done or half done maybe she performed exactly as the script suggested or maybe that is the limit she has to her acting range either way they should have had a rewrite and killed her off in the first 30 seconds of the film like the girl that fell off the balcony in lethal weapon i but at least she had nice breasts br br most douglas,negative +is the first of its kind in turkish cinema and it's way better than i expected those people who say it's neither scary nor funny have a point it's not all that great indeed but it must be kept in mind that everyone involved with the movie is rather amateur so it's basically a maiden voyage and comparing this one to other films such as the 1st class garbage propaganda this movie is pretty damn good br br one thing that must be said it deals with the life in turkey very realistically that's exactly how it goes the scenes that are meant to scare are somewhat cheap and most of them even if not all but that religion lesson scene made me laugh in tears and performs the best acting of this flick as a religion teacher br br it's not a waste of your time go and watch it you'll find it rather amusing especially if you know turkey enough to relate to turkish school lives,positive +what could've been a great film about the late poker pro pre poker the kid turned into a disappointment br br you can tell the filmmakers were working on a short string budget everything look filmed on the cheap seemed a bit off to me br br casting michael from the sopranos was also a bad casting choice he looked too old to play the baby faced he looked way too healthy for a coke addict if you look at footage from the 1997 main event the real was so skinny and he practically had no nose from too much cocaine so he wore those to hide them and i kept expecting to pop up and yell chris br br also they over the fact that he had a son from previous relationship that committed suicide in the late '80s br br every time i saw vincent van appear i kept thinking he was going to show tunes going off in head like he does on the br br if you're looking for real footage check classic because they the 1997 main event every so often or try youtube avoid this move like a bad beat,negative +it's not as good as the movie that said it's a cute kids show okay so the emperor has back slide and become a selfish spoiled brat once more accept it and enjoy the cartoon as something entertaining it has plenty of jokes for the parents and still holds the attention of children also it boasts two of the original voice actors from the movie earth who has been in numerous films but i'm sure many people know as and patrick sorry if i who also has appeared in many films and tv series but is most widely recognized as the it's really a rare and wonderful combination if for no other reason i highly recommend comic book fans watch at least one episode just to enjoy the dynamic duo to sum up entertaining children's show with plenty of inside jokes for the grown ups to laugh along with if your looking for educational value this isn't your show if your just looking for something funny this is a great saturday morning pick,positive +the last good ernest movie and the best at that how can you not laugh at least once at this movie the last line is a classic as is gangster impressions his best moment on film this has his best lines and is a achievement among the brainless screwball comedies,positive +where do i begin let me say that after having watched the entire film and the special features on the dvd my wife and i watched the whole film again with the director's commentary running i can't remember having ever before endured more than 7 minutes of such commentary for a film it's worth hearing br br i'm not a southern boy but i spent some time around a long time ago and have a feel for the area this film almost of the south it's so real samuel jackson one of my all time favorite actors is magnificent as the emotionally bent and christina gives the performance of a lifetime as a woman who's been wounded severely during her brief life i've always liked ms work but in this performance she's giving of herself every second she's on the screen awards and little are not enough to reward her for what she lays before the audience in this film br br there are other places where you can read the essence of the story so i'm just commenting on the work i'd heard the name justin timberlake before seeing but had no idea what he looked like or even why he's famous my head on 60 years old i'm outside his target to say the least after seeing this film i will recognize him he can act he gives a substantial believable performance as the loving of the county slut br br the director is from and shows for his home region he is also a fine story br br and i must mention the music i love blues and the soundtrack for black snake is a feast for a blues fan br br i'm writing less than usual because my enthusiasm for this movie is my sentence structure see this film and i mean now,positive +it's now 2005 and 15 years since this cartoon first aired i haven't actually watched it seriously or closely in about 10 years now that i'm an adult in my 30s i can look back with a serious eye as i watch the episodes again br br in concept the cartoon is partly an homage to the classic looney tunes but also its own original show there are a few episodes that are structured like the old cartoons for example there is a singer that attacks buster and so he revenge on this concert exactly like the old bugs bunny cartoon the ensuing cartoon is similar to looney tunes just in a different era if you look at the old looney tunes they did an awful lot of stuff exactly like tiny did the old looney tunes made a lot of social commentary and parody there were celebrity there were a lot of corny period jokes and dialog the comedy was surreal and wacky you can say this exactly for tiny as well the comedy is the same most definitely a to the classics which hadn't been done well if at all in cartoons in the decades prior to this show we recognize the cultural references in tiny and we can roll our eyes when something we don't like comes up but the reason we don't think looney tunes are corny is because we weren't alive back in the 40s also looney tunes was original back in those days but today cartoons are over and over so it's easy to perceive tiny in an unfair light due to our exposure to current events and our to cartoons in general br br there certainly are differences in many respects the timing the delivery and obviously the duration of the shows they are two different styles from two different periods being done under two very different circumstances looney tunes being made for adults in theaters and tiny being made for kids watching tv even so they did a good job making an original show with original gags and still paying homage to and after the comedy of the old looney tunes br br since tiny had a lot more time to play with they had some genuine moments of great animated inspiration you only have to look at episodes like 1 minute to 3 the baby toilet episode there are so many more for example one of the best comedy dialog ever animated is in when and buster are on the phone in a split screen hoping each misses the other the is spectacular notably the character development in this episode and in several others usually the ones penned by deanna oliver or is rather good the female characters were taken seriously as personalities and developed unusual considering the opposite is usually true for cartoons of that period br br this was the first modern cartoon that had lots of both pop culture and self humor this was way ahead of its time tiny really opened up a door for writers to take comic liberties that are so common in the cartoons today instead of doing the boring old crap we endured as 80s kids yes i loved transformers and but tiny totally jumped away from all that it was a breath of fresh air bakshi's new adventures of mighty mouse may have been a but tiny made this surreal style of comedy cartoon writing a real success br br as a kid i totally overlooked some jokes for example one episode is an homage to the marx brothers that i completely ignored as a teen now i have a respect for it there are so many inspired gags that i never noticed that are genuinely brilliant it's that kind of comedy that makes me think of looney tunes and family guy i never noticed that kind of comedy as a kid i've been thinking this for most episodes i watched recently br br you'd notice these kinds of things if you actually watched the show unlike some other reviewers here who i know are unfairly judging it i've seen all the episodes and have thought about them thoroughly exposed both as a kid and as an adult br br you can tell there was an awful lot of care taken with the voice acting too i'm not talking about just the main characters but the side characters were done really well and too but back to the main characters some of the main characters were brilliant had in my opinion her best performances in this cartoon she hasn't been the same since rob also did some incredible stuff here too br br this is all not to say the show didn't have some bad episodes it had plenty it had a lot of mediocre ones too but by far it certainly had a lot of genuinely funny episodes especially back when it first aired it was actually funny to watch br br out of 10 i give the show an 8 5 and kudos for pushing the and breaking down the doors leading to a new era of cartoons,positive +i saw the movie while i was in a class a few years back in high school i thought it was a thought provoking movie that made you want to look into the power behind i think the type of people that wouldn't like this movie would be those who don't like solving things or those who get frustrated when they can't solve its a good movie based on a true story that happened in my home town of toronto so if u want a real record of the things that happen in the there watch this movie and for those who only watch movies to point out plot holes and character flaws realize that in real life this same stuff does happen but thats all i want to say on that the are good some are hard some are not but the movie also leaves you wanting more more more explanation just more something more i want to add is that the ideas within this movie the underground world does exist but there is a lot more to it to find it you can not look for it to never look for it would be no way to find it leave your mark and it will find you,positive +let's get things straight i was raised catholic and in a very religious family and spent as much time at church and talking to priests as at home that was useful for two things to make a convinced out of me and to give me deep insightful knowledge about the church and its and i say if a catholic priest witnesses a murder and clearly sees the face of the killer he can report it to the police even if the murderer has to him afterwards he can not reveal what he's told in confession but he can talk about anything he sees outside that and confession is useless to keep his mouth shut so here we have a movie entirely on a lie and another lie is there's no for murder according to the catholic church there's for any sin as long as there's sincere so far the biggest plot holes in this weak thriller br br as people frequently say this movie would have improved if bob and alan bates had switched roles is naturally suitable to play gangsters i will never enough that he lost al in favor of one of de weakest performances in the and features would have been perfect as the priest with a gray past but above that i think the film would have been much better had real life native liam neeson back then mostly unknown to big audiences played mickey part not only his face is perfect to play tormented characters but he'd make us believe the character as real something rourke just can't back in the 80s rourke was not a bad actor afterwards he seemed to lose his talent along with his looks but he was one of those performers like brad who's as good as the director he works with and as a former ira terrorist acting comes across more like a sad to think that had this movie been made just some three to six years later when neeson achieved celebrity status in 1990 with sam enjoyable darkman and in 1993 with list while rourke became pretty much of a forgotten has been liam and mickey could have switched parts to greater benefit rourke would have been effective in the supporting role of but just can't carry this movie along as the lead yet another missed opportunity and yet another film with the potential of being a classic that became instantly forgettable fare br br ironically enough the often criticized score by underrated composer bill worked for me i didn't find it overly melodramatic but suitably gritty and beautiful it reminded me of howard score for the silence of the here's to mike talent who made get carter yes but don't forget he's the mastermind behind flash gordon as well br br it seems the film was in the cutting room it shows as some parts are really choppy and confusing and others just don't and a director's cut is waiting to see the light ok but i seriously doubt that will make it a great movie as we'll still have the bad casting and the false premise there 4 10,negative +i feel as though i know these people and have known people similar to them these days though people are from showing such passion about anything especially love and loneliness it has a slow beginning but then look out if you love romantic comedies but would like to see one that had some basis in reality for a change or at least did have back in the 70's then you should see this movie,positive +it is hard to imagine two actors of such class and experience as michael caine and michael getting involved in such an embarrassingly inept film the responsibility for this ill judged production has to be down to the writer neil jordan and director i doubt i've seen such a bad film with such good credits in a long time the comedian dylan who made his mark as the and incompetent owner in the tv sitcom turns in much the same routine here except with such excess and lack of comedic control as to leave one it is easy to see how the story could have been made to work for the situation is an interesting one and loaded with comic potential a classical actor caine tries to rip off the mob and co with the of a bumbling wannabe colleague with predictable results it could have and should have been good sadly it was not to be,negative +well we definitely did see and i and many other people were actually expecting worse it did have some good parts too it that i was not expecting it still did fail in other areas though br br first off the acting was above average i love phillip seymour hoffman in this movie and i liked tom hanks hoffman was the to this movie if it were not for him this movie would have and hit rock bottom his performance was by no means stunning but absolutely necessary he gave a good witty cynical performance in what most other actors could have easily made his character into a cliché tom hanks really gave a nice loose performance and did not disappoint but he certainly did not impress what i could not stand was that julia roberts was involved in this movie she was as big of a miscast as i have ever seen for one she is a bad actress at least to me she was to young for her character and was to phony even for the character she was playing br br the directing was average to me i'm not really a big fan of the recent mike movies and i'm not exactly impressed by this one either it was made with such a cartoonish touch hat i could not stand the worst part about it was that he tried make it be a really meaningful movie at the end i love meaningful movies but not when a movie tries to rush a scene or two at the end and show something that tries to justify the rest of the garbage spread throughout the whole movie that is something that mike has seemed to have done a lot in his recent track record br br the one impressive part of this movie was the writing the dialog was put together very well and was able to let the story play out the writing was what was able to really able to take this movie to an above average level in so many scenes i found myself laughing in part by the writing br br well that is some of what we saw at least a lot of the scenery was good in the movie if you get what i mean but not a lot other than that i did like that this movie did not everything america had done it is obvious that during this whole war in afghanistan the u s gave weapons to the people who are now against us this movie kind of show we are too blame for that it shows that what may seem good in the short term may turn into something horribly wrong in the future this movie did have a good original message but it just did not deliver it right overall though it was entertaining,positive +i love this show it's clever and very well acted david morse and andre have great chemistry the writing is clever and subplots generally give great comic relief after every new episode i'm always amazed how thought provoking and at the same time entertaining this show is my only complaint would be donna murphy's absence at this point in the second season as david morse ex wife heather she added such character to the show br br i think this show is a credit to the crime drama genre with that said i can not for the life of me understand why this show has such a low rating would someone please who gave this show a 1 rating back it up with a critique,positive +the quintessential let's get ready for summer movie it's dumb goofy and maybe a touch dated but my kids just saw it and they laughed as hard as i did when i first saw it in the style of all little guys versus the establishment movies so yes the plot is very predictable but it's warm and funny and no it's not bill murray at his bill but he is starting to stretch out in what was his first starring role odd though to see how few of the fresh young faces in this film went on to do much more,positive +this was an attempt toward a romantic comedy and one which did not work although the film was cast in an interesting manner the dismal script betrayed the best efforts of all the director's mannerisms may have succeeded if he had adopted a point of view it was embarrassing to watch william baldwin and in particular,negative +if you value your life in any way shape or form you will do yourself a courtesy and pass by this seemingly interesting movie on the dvd rack br br i know what you're thinking i saw the preview and it looked great however beware i fell into the same trap one of my friends expressed certain to watching this movie but i forced her to sit it out oh how i regret that decision br br like most horror movies the movie starts out in a sunny mexican resort where two couples are to an ancient ruin by a fellow resort goer upon arrival they are disturbed by the appearance of two jungle people who are all but oblivious to their shouts as if this isn't ominous enough the tour group casts aside large plant growth and declares an path consumed by a perfect route to their destination i guess it wouldn't be much of a movie if they rational decision making and turned around just then but well this wasn't much of a movie anyways br br after some the the resort goer brought a friend stumble upon the ruins and at once their doubts are by its beauty and history that is until frantic people emerge from the jungle armed with a vengeance for no reason in particular shouting in an language since when are brutal verbal by calm language don't ask me but nonetheless the cast tries anyway to no obviously suddenly the sixth trail member is with several from the and all hell breaks loose a finishes the job and the horrified quickly up the ruin br br now if there was ever a plot to this movie it ended here the introduction took at most 20 minutes and it was unfortunately the best 20 minutes of the movie on top of the ruins the now realizes they are stranded by murderous locals and proceed to make countless good decisions one of them being to use a rope to lower one of their members into the of the ruin needless to say the is seriously hurt and then trapped within the ruins and the two girlfriends are injured trying to rescue him br br the rest of the movie continues with no real horror only only blood and gore as displayed when one girl a plant growing within her out of blood and then again when legs are cut off only to have the same from within the girl him later br br my only in this movie were the very attractive tucker playing jeff mcintire grow increasingly more and and sitting long enough to that almost all of the cast dies a horrible gruesome death their pain seems an adequate for the time suck that was this movie br br supposedly the storyline goes that the ruin is an ancient house of of dangerous spirits with an evil flesh eating plant to ward off and unlucky unfortunately i got no such warning from screaming plants and the only evil thing relating to this movie that i am truly horrified by is the script writer,negative +kevin kline offers a brilliant comic turn in the 1997 comedy in out kline plays howard a small town history teacher who sits down to watch the academy awards this year because one of his former students matt dillon is a he is nominated for his performance in a film where he plays a gay soldier and when he wins he thanks howard in his speech for inspiring him because howard is gay now this floors howard because he as no clue why thus guy would say this on international television howard is even engaged to be married to joan cusack in an oscar nominated performance so he has no idea where dillon s cameron drake got the idea that he is gay and finds he has to defend himself to everyone at school but is shocked that no one seemed terribly shocked by what cameron said on the oscars howard has a birthday party where he is given birthday presents like the soundtrack to and ends up explaining to his guests why barbra streisand had to make funny lady his parents debbie reynolds are shocked but promise to support their son even if he is gay he also gets a visit from an out of town reporter tom who wants to do an article about him because he's gay too the moment when plants a big kiss right on lips is a classic but all of these little things have howard actually questioning his sexuality and wondering if he really is gay much to the and frustration of his fiancée cusack who is beyond confused the scene where she leaves a bar in her wedding and stands in the middle of street screaming about the lack of single straight men in the world is a classic but what i like about this movie is the way kline fully in the role and was not afraid to look foolish or look gay there is a fabulous scene probably the most famous from the film where he buys a record on how to be macho and the guy on the record is talking about how real men don't dance and a disco tune comes on i will survive if memory serves and the narrator on the record says no matter what you do don't dance but howard can't help himself and he ends up shaking his groove thing all over the room it's hysterically funny and kline plays it with sincerity and gusto the film is not pro or anti gay it's just a and amusing character study about a man trying to figure out exactly who he is wonderful film,positive +this film the story of the on board at the of the movie celebrated the 20th of the of which was seen as a direct to the october revolution of following his montage theory plays with scenes their duration and the way they combine to emphasize his message besides he uses different camera shot angles and revolutionary techniques the steps sequence in is one of the most famous in the history of cinema the baby coming loose down the steps after its mother has been shot was later in brian palma's the it is clear that the film is one of the best ever made considering its time and how innovative it was though you need a little bit of patience and to be a real movie to go through its 70 minutes,positive +great film from the late 1970's says much about corporate corruption at the expense of the common person so that the powerful can gain gain huge and disregard the environment and safety of others br br nearly 30 years later this film is compelling about the power of certain corporate that since the films release have gained ten in their ability to control it shows the need for of the public against powerful business interests whose primary goal is profit br br jack lemmon is brilliant while jane fonda and micheal douglas are as equally compelling in their roles the 70s where damned for much this film the decade br br a film that becomes better after each watching,positive +i think it is a brilliant show with cool talking heads and very cool action 2 guys who pretend to be masters in women seduction demonstrate their skills at different night and 4 experts pickup artists themselves comment on them choosing the winner their jokes are amusing and some are really fun to watch more so this show really teaches men how to get in touch with women lots of comments are useful while you may see how it works in the field actually i think this is one of the best tv shows and i totally recommend this to all men who like women br br ps for my broken,positive +young couple on the road their own business and having casual sex in their car during broad daylight yet suddenly they're being and by a deranged psychopath in an old and rusty pick up truck hmm where have i seen this premise before oh yeah now i remember we've seen this a thousand times before already and approximately nine hundred and ninety nine of the other cases were much better than rest stop this weak and new movie is insulting even to the intellect of the most horror fans as it doesn't feature a single original twist or memorable gimmick it's very sadistic and nasty but every slasher flick is sadistic and nasty nowadays so that's no real surprise anymore neither the absolute main problem with this production is the incredibly large amount of dumb plot holes and meaningless sub plots writer director john damn well realized that the ultra thin basic storyline nearly wasn't enough to fill a whole movie with and thus he up his film like a turkey with and nonsensical padding material boyfriend at an abandoned and filthy rest stop in california killing off her character right away wouldn't result in a very long movie and thus she subsequently encounters a home family of freaks suffers from visions in which she talks to the deranged killer's previous victims and she has deeply emotional and boring conversations with a police officer who just won't die even though a truck ran over him twice the dumb sub plots never lead anywhere and they're definitely the most pathetic and desperate attempts to stretch a movie's length i've ever seen instead of all the pointless padding should have paid more attention to building up tension and make his lead characters a little more likable character nicole is an annoying and brainless girl and you won't really care whether she'll survive the ordeal or not her boyfriend jesse as well as the cop are both whining losers and their brutal deaths still weren't painful enough if you ask me i counted exactly three sequences all including torture and gratuitous that were gory and exciting enough to bring a smile on my face that's still way too few for a nowadays horror movie basically rest stop is simply a miserable attempt to cash in on the success of such films like wolf creek and hostel but you're better off watching the originals this was the first film of the new production company called they're promoting themselves as the new name in great horror but they'll have to come up with something much better than rest stop if they want us to believe that,negative +this is a review of the later english release by disney featuring alison patrick stewart and co br br i really wanted this film to be good really really i'm a huge fan of princess and spirited away and after seeing all the glowing reviews on this earlier miyazaki film i was eager to see it but i was shocked shocked i say at the quality of this film those later films well crafted plots 3 dimensional characters and the best film music since well ever this film just doesn't come close br br might as well start w the positive aspects though like all miyazaki films this one is still very imaginative with a bizarre fantasy sci fi setting in a post apocalyptic world where insects are the species can also some far superior animation to other films from its time though not as beautiful and fluid as miyazaki's later films and the english voice acting is quite well done br br but this film just isn't good the characters are all cardboard from sweet little to the evil to everyone in between once you've seen each of them for 30 seconds you've seen all there is and the fact that the plot just along doesn't help br br then there's the music now is hands down my favorite film composer but doesn't do him justice half the music is 80's on and it usually enters and leaves so abruptly that it the visuals rather than helping them i highly suspect that was told to a lot of the music before he even saw the picture br br but wait there's a great message with this film right let's all save the environment too bad that this film hits you over the head with it like a there is a scene in which a tree no really i ain't kidding br br it makes me a little sad to talk about how lame this film is but for some reason all the other reviews on imdb seem to adore it and when the characters have to talk to themselves in extended sentences to tell you what's going on that's lame br br if you're the kind of person who anime enjoys 80's music and plants a tree every day you will probably like this film otherwise save your money for his later films because they rock big time,negative +in watching this off and on for a few seasons two things come to mind one wondering what kind of girl wants to be a model and two run to the nearest ice cream store and have a low fat br br i tried to be a fan because i liked the idea of this reality show competition no other famous model thought of this and it is very admirable for banks to do so but as the series goes on and on i've come to the conclusion that this is a sorry lot of folks trying to make a mountain out of a women shouldn't watch this teens should stay clear of it unless they're doing book reports on the subject br br many women try out for to compete for next top model they live together cat fight together cry together get put through pointless shoots with pointless people and and get eliminated and almost all of them claim you will see me again heck i'm trying to see what happened to the ones that did win actually br br this is the dream of some girls and good for them in watching this i hope the other girls that see this and run like the other way like to college br br i just happened to watch more of this recent season because of the of full figured models joining the group that even made me think more of this as a sorry lot of folks the full figured models were no more than average sized ladies competing with what i think is the group of models they ever chose so of course that would make them look even a use all the time bad bad and crew br br but to be fair next top model is not about full figured models it's about an imagined image a beauty that can be mass and sold as the ultimate in beauty and this show is just looking for the next fresh piece of meat to add to the mix hence the name of the show hence the sorry lot of judges hence and her consistent this was me every camera angle you can get but then again that is the one thing i like about this show the ex model giving others who wouldn't have the chance a chance to enter the doors but after that everything else is status for that industry which is why there are no surprises or week to week interest in the program,negative +based on a fairly bland best this film like most other lifetime movies played out more like a than an actual movie the only difference here was that meredith wasn't in it the women in this don't age even over a span of like 20 years and the acting in general is pretty bad br br the characters in this were all cliché and one dimensional the story was of the cheesy nature i wouldn't recommend it but it's the kind of thing that people who loved the book and people who watch that network all the time will think is great i only watched it because my girlfriend wanted to see it so she wouldn't have to read the book her sister to her it wasn't made for someone like me my girlfriend cried a little at the end though so she didn't think it was as terrible as i did,negative +oh man they sure knew how to make them back then hollywood has forgotten the basic ingredients of bad movie making cardboard steel and the god scientist action hero br br this film was so close to a masterpiece alas it was not to be as it failed to feature ray guns and from the moon the mst3k version tried to fix this by adding a pilot of a show called captain cody where a guy with a rocket jacket fights bad make up people from the moon but it didn't quite add up br br also the comments of the guys in the theater were not nearly as funny as i expected them to be all in all a great disappointment,negative +this is a standard action flick as we have seen them many times before not much action in this one though again it's about the guy protecting the president he's macho as usual and at the same time soft and as usual does he have the guts to take a bullet for the president and then there's the girl and the usual conservative around stereotypical and predictable to the last toe minute,negative +is an excellent actor he at 28 playing a 50 old in br br now he turns director with br br the film has a good plot but it's br br the theme has been done to death and character looks too put on while anil and tara tracks are too sudden and then forgotten br br the film moves a pace and begins to drag but there are several good scenes like the entire conflict between anil and where says to sell the house br br getting caught for a crime and anil shouting at him br br the climax is too much though br br shows potential but has some way to go music is okay br br anil kapoor excels in his part like always tries hard and is okay but needs to improve is excellent this was a turning people realized he can act is okay and tara are wasted is good,negative +my daughter already wrote a review of this movie in my sign in but i want to add a few words br br was one of my two favorite movies as a child the other being 'the wizard of the cinematography the acting the script and the music all came together is such a wonderful little heart felt drama that it can still bring tears to my jaded eyes based on a book by the script followed the book quite well the characters are so created it's easy to become emotionally involved with the entire family and the quaint little irish village in which they live the premise complete believes in her horse and herself enough to chance a try at the greatest horse race in the world is awe inspiring to any young person especially a young girl in the 40's a time when girls were sometimes ignored as humans beings let alone you would have to be terribly hard boiled not to appreciate it's merit br br but the perspective i most about this movie is the innocence in it's moral message it's almost magical how and apple the movies were back then i was really taken by the imdb reviewer who asked the world ever really this ' and then to the director for his regarding overnight travel involving the two main characters my answer to his question is an yes the movie going world was that in the 40's br br my grandparents remember taking my mother to this movie when it was released then my mother took me to see it when i was young and my daughter was lucky enough to be born at a time when she could watch it repeatedly on video tape now we have it on dvd it's been a family favorite for generations albeit generations of horse lovers it was never about sex it's about coming of age it's about believing in yourself and working hard to reach your goals also so old fashioned it wasn't even about the prize money it's about the girl child who understood her horse had what it took to the and yes the director was indeed concerned with elizabeth lack of physical development because the book made a big deal about brown liz character having to cut her hair and her chest so that she could pass as a male when she went to the grand national this was a guys only sport back then i think there have only been 12 women ever to compete in this race it's almost insulting that anyone would bother to think the thing about this particular movie besides anyone having had anything at all to do with an adolescent girl and her horse would know that the only thing they ever think about with stars in their eyes have four and a tail br br and now for a great bit of trivia the stunt riding was performed by the now famous monty roberts i believe he is given mentioned for his riding in the movie credits br br i give this movie a 10 out of 10 i never get tired of watching it again,positive +did you find the title funny oh you didn't well that's because you're uptight learn to laugh because if you're not laughing you're not living so please lower your standards regarding to what you believe is funny to that of a mere now do you find it funny still no ok that's because you're full of yourself and get offended too easily if you're not laughing you're not living and if you don't like me then send me hate mail so that i could write another review and state how much hate mail i get and try to twist this into making it seem as if i am a bad ass are you laughing at my hilarious title yet still no ok that's it you are a racist you have to laugh or else you are a racist why else would you not laugh oh it's not funny no this can't be why i want it to be funny so it is laugh damn it please please ok that's it where's my and pen and where's my richard dvd's i need to write some jokes for my show br br and scene thank you thank you br br this is basically what you'll get from for about 23 minutes please do yourself a favor and change the channel when this show comes on even basic cable channels have things better than this i'm not even saying this because i hate him i'm for real this show is like watching grass grow not sure though at least grass doesn't steal jokes i'm honestly trying to save your time i even tried watching his show i told myself maybe he isn't that bad but no he is i completely zone out when i watched his show i tried to collect myself during the commercial break and focus on the show but i couldn't i out again i think i was thinking of something more interesting like re making my bed or my before i knew it the show was over yeah it's that bad br br here's my final thought there's so many things you can do with 30 minutes besides watch this guy shout about nothing for half an hour don't watch a show that tries to racism in your face in vain i can support shows that try to ease the tension of the race wars but this guy just provides more racism rather than stop it,negative +hilarious show with so many great stories that it reflects the world today as we know it in such a funny way it literally stole my for other shows i laughed so hard that i just found any other comedy shows unfunny the unique of each characters is a great original technique that just makes the show funny and very humorous you may think that this is an average comedy show about hard life with a family that's what i thought at first but i found out that it holds new and unique techniques that completely sets it apart from any other average comedy show michael is a star i sure wish that this show wasn't canceled,positive +awesome movie great combination of talents i'm a huge fan of david duchovny and he is outstanding in this movie i would love to see him in more movies of this nature his talents are definitely under used and has so much more to offer besides agent although i'm a huge fan of that series too anyway i want to see more of him he is easily the cary grant of our generation if you haven't seen this movie you must great love story that shows love never dies it's with you forever driver is great and how can you go wrong with a cast containing mr and mr and mr belushi this movie didn't get any type of awards nod but deserved one great job bonnie hunt by the way the soundtrack is great too,positive +it's perfectly ok that people dies in an animation but there are just way too many death in this one start from the very beginning the story is all around battles fights death and revenge it goes on and on for entire one and a half hour it was interesting at the beginning but i grew very tire after before the show was half way through unlike other animations this one is lack of humor there are not many interactions between the characters either the good thing about it is the sword fight scene looks pretty good and the characters look nice,negative +this soap is worse than bad it's of the many television shows that have had a influence on british society over the past twenty years is the prime example for two decades this show has celebrated the the thug the wide boy the the the violent the sexually the criminal the ignorant the br br how many times has someone or other that mirrors life life on which planet exactly br br it's written about working class characters as imagined by middle class people who have taken a course in creative writing eager to show to their middle class peers how familiar they are with the working class they dream up the that is the of br br this has a toxic effect on some minds less well than others to handle fiction and so we find members of the real population assuming the attitudes and of the inhabitants of br br thus it came to pass that mirrors life but only after life had been into br br other have followed in footsteps filled to their with ugly faced headed pot characters at each other and constantly this is the as perceived by the writers who produce this trash the writers will grow rich on the proceeds of such and will go on to enjoy the things of life in their meanwhile the number of new tv induced will proceed toward cultural br br and there you have the new priests and the new creatures of the early 21st century much of this is due to the power of that of dancing in the corner of your living room it's your fault gentle reader that's what you chose as the only window through which to look out from your prison,negative +this is a film about passion the passion it depicts is largely even for the leading man but lies the incredible power of this film it shows us that what we believe can be by nonsense and can even lead us to do things that are destructive to ourselves or others moreover those who try to escape from passion watch the who visits the studio also risk self destruction br br the world needs to hear the message of this movie more often,positive +valley is set on a small town ranch where teenager isabelle is found wandering around covered in blood her parents randy leslie mitchell own the ranch are deeply worried about their daughter recently she has not been herself is considered a danger to herself other's ranch hand ex priest del as a possible case of possession when she starts to speak ancient latin in a strange voice he becomes convinced of it calls priest cameron who is her other daughter madison taylor ex husband to see isabelle he accepts the job of performing the that will hopefully the demon inside isabelle an innocent girl free br br directed by ethan i was sat there in my house in front of my telly watching valley i kept asking the same question over over again why do i do it why do i keep sitting through all these awful low budget horror films that look like they were shot on a camcorder right lets honest about this valley is a complete total utter rip off of the exorcist 1973 you literally off the major plot points that the two share there's the possessed teenage girl who starts to get very horny suggest inappropriate things the demon that uses past against other's the worried parents the way that the possessed girl is by doctor's the priest with a troubled past the possessed girl is tied to her bed amongst other things i suppose where valley is different other than it's total crap is that it tries to give all the character's some screen time tries to get across how the situation is affecting them but it's so badly written acted it just ends up being boring the film starts with isabelle already possessed so we never knew what she was like as a normal person so we never really care about her or what is happening to her either the rest of the character's are poorly written fleshed out at times i wondered whether valley was a spoof there's a silly scene in which a vet tries to the possessed isabelle with horse after he states that she needs a he enters her room with a huge hidden behind his back there are a few scenes in which people are accompanied by a silly comedy sound effect the film has an uneven tone as a result as it goes between silly spoof serious horror drama or it did in my opinion at least br br according to some text before the opening credits valley was based on yeah right actual events from 1973 that happened in a film called the exorcist this piece of text also states that the scenes were by a real priest there isn't even any decent gore or exploitation to things up there's a scene of a cut arm there's a dead dog someone is stabbed with a that's about it there's surprisingly no bad language in it either despite the demon trying to be i would imagine the only reason valley has an adult rating is because of one very brief scene in which a pair of are seen one pair of naked female is not worth the time watching this or the money you might spend on it there is zero scares no atmosphere a really amateurish feel to the whole film too br br with a supposed budget of about 1 000 000 i must say that i am wondering where all the money went the film looks ugly cheap throughout there are no special effects to speak of the production values are rock bottom the acting is very poor from all involved genre favourite jeffrey combs gets near top billing during the opening credits but has nothing more than a cameo in what amounts to about five minutes of screen time even he must have feared how bad this was going to be has he hides behind a a terrible accent he is better than this br br valley is a complete rip off of the exorcist without anything that made that film such a classic the makers are thirty five years too late anyway a total turkey from start to finish,negative +it is not only difficult to comment on the three parts of trilogy it seems obvious that the filmmaker wants us to do just the opposite view them in order blue white and red and consider them together as one complete work it is true they are distinct stories with distinct themes liberty and each them is developed with unique of intrigue and artistry they are each well worth seeing but i believe they are best seen as one work i would rate the trilogy as a 9 i place each in my top ten for the years 1993 and 1994 br br the color red is most memorable in the third movie as a backdrop in a ad the model of which is the central of the movie's three main characters the other two characters do a double take of a varying degree of recognition when they first come upon the ad posted larger than life alongside a busy city this ad is not a major part of the plot of this movie yet its image becomes striking and is one of the reasons i have called red a mind film this is the third of three colors trilogy based on the blue white red of the french flag and the three parts of its liberty ' the films stay primarily focused on these themes keeping with the basic levels of one two or three main characters yet with each film the complexity of plot as the three principles move from personal liberty blue to white to social red red is my favorite of these films and i give it a 9 it stands by itself as a great film but one should see blue and white first for the effect,positive +i've seen just after i've seen all roger moore films and i must say that it felt so good to see connery again he proves for all times that he is the one and only bond br br the film itself isn't really a masterpiece but it is really worth watching the jokes sit much better here the effects are funny and interesting connery is connery and is really a good villain but von is just wasted and the score is not often good and there are a few scenes that seem pretty unnecessary br br 7 10 2 5 4 3 1 6,positive +david copied and such an copy the film isn't even 1 2 as funny or amusing as the original it's boring with forced stories like the lara track of having a child and no plus there is an stupid don and david tries to choke drama too but the film looks disjointed boring br br songs just pop in so does romance and everything some funny govinda scenes the dance before nothing else is worth mentioning the last few scenes are quite funny but there tend to get too long br br david's direction is as bad as he needs to change his style or attempt something good music is saving grace some songs are good but the situations seem forced br br govinda looks overweight and seems too loud and screams his lines in initial but he gets into the groove and gives his best in the office and the scene with salman in his cabin and towards the end br br salman just plays himself and his tone plus his fake style of acting is a headache br br lara is is fake as usual br br the kid overacts,negative +there were so many reasons why this movie could have been great i'll give you three br br 1 she is extremely hot in this movie and was the reason i chose to watch it in the first place br br 2 tim amazing bad guy and i always get excited seeing him in movies even home alone 2 br br 3 jason for all you and out there this is a rare treat former star 80's heart dressed in drag selling drugs br br however none of these things nor the fact that the movie is about the drug rave culture managed to make this movie even remotely interesting the script was dull the performances ordinary and despite the scenes with j d and any scene with i found everything about this movie pretty br br 3 out of 10,negative +yes maybe there are parts of this film which require belief a little but that doesn't take anything away from the film's charm and wonder it was shown as part of our town's youth film festival and was the favourite which is not surprising the subject matter coming together in a race torn though post apartheid south africa is highly and the treatment of the theme is inspirational of course as the previous comment mentions the film does have its shortcomings but the realism of the setting and the way the director treats his subject matter these shortcomings i saw this with my wife and we returned the same evening with the children a film to watch discuss and act upon,positive +this is the best version of gypsy that has been filmed bette midler is simply superb as mama rose she has the voice the gestures the look and most of all a supreme acting ability to carry the role off and to make her character come alive her singing is simply put magnificent she especially shines in two numbers coming up and turn the other actors are also fine particularly christine as also good is peter his portrayal of is acted with great style and believability the direction of this movie is very very good there isn't a false note or in the entire production this film is a vast improvement over the russell version filmed in since viewing it again i can state that the three greatest mama are bette midler and angela lansbury see this movie you'll be glad that you did,positive +zero stole my money and i want it back this is a horror movie not thriller not suspense a horror movie yes this movie is a horror bad after many years of lurking here at imdb i am actually moved to set up an account just so i like at least one other reviewer here can warn people do not watch this movie it will steal your soul or at least your desire to live in a world that makes movies this bad or at least an hour and a half of your life if you are not wise enough to hit the fast forward button br br seriously i'd love to hear the director's voice over on an enhanced dvd there's another horrifying thought to see what the hell they were thinking the producers had to assume there were enough out there to fall for the val kilmer name to make this film at least break even in international distribution br br i actually had the misfortune to pick this to watch on movies on demand which provided no subtitles to the russian dialog not that it much to hear the russian translate it in your head if you can only to find out how dull it is just adds insult to injury br br i will give this movie a 1 because i cannot give it a lower rating and because it did achieve one remarkable thing it somehow made an almost entirely movie not feel claustrophobic now that's a dubious achievement br br here's your spoiler and the ending holy mother no pun intended it's like they ran out of money and just decided to stop filming the climax of the film literally happens seconds before the end and is solved by the escape i have ever seen on film exercise your simple escape too if you find yourself watching this the off button,negative +a cbs radio program entitled we the people in finding an american home for vienna charles coburn as karl a

wayne's car an italian car br br three faces west 7 3 40 bernard john wayne charles coburn spencer,negative +with no dead heroes you get stupid lines like that as this woefully abysmal action flick needs to be seen to be believed william sanders is saved by his buddy harry during an in vietnam but gets himself captured by the enemy fast forward ten years and harry is now a russian with a mind control in his brain his new russian superior is played to the obscene by nick nicholson who might i add not only doesn't attempt once to speak with a russian accent but resembles more a gas station attendant in kentucky with his teeth what is even more absurd is the fact that he was also the dialog coach for this film soon william is re by the cia to hunt harry down he teams up with barbara a freedom fighter who has el camp and soon the both of them are blowing up half of south america some scenes are so jaw awful that it's a wonder why this film doesn't have more of a cult following one such scene is the sudden in the jungle by william and barbara accompanied by the most inappropriate background music i've ever heard who would strip completely nude in the middle of a south american jungle there is a rape scene that uses the end theme from blood on claw as well no dead heroes is the magic bullet movie champion of all time as one shot leads to multiple kills in one scene harry his rifle from behind a rock and kills seven guys i had to it and count hard to find film that has recently gotten the full treatment by mgm track this movie down and watch it for the sheer silliness that ensues,negative +i must confess that i've been a huge fan of the almighty david the ever since he starred in the hit 80's tv series knight rider whether it's his extraordinary debut as a high school basketball player in the hilariously raunchy revenge of the or his brilliant portrayal of a dashing prince in the sci fi gem the has proved time and time again that he's a simply terrific and underrated actor supreme the excels here as gary a cynical and skeptical photographer who along with his repressed writer girlfriend leslie attractive brunette leslie a seedy haunted hotel located on a remote island off the coast of they're doing research on witchcraft throughout the ages and the last owner was an actress who allegedly the black arts a family also shows up on the premises to check

lips shut and she's hung upside down in a and gorgeous blonde catherine considerable sex appeal from every as a slut competent direction a suitably creepy atmosphere slick glossy cinematography the fluid tracking shots are especially nice the special effects maria and randy spirited score and the gory sadistic violence are all up to par but ultimately it's the tremendously dynamic and charismatic presence of the one and only the which makes this choice tasty of tacky italian horror cheese such a winner he takes his shirt off once gets with blood and warning major spoiler ahead even meets a grisly end produced by none other than joe this picture overall rates as good sleazy fun,positive +this film may have been the first puppet master but this sure bored me to death when i saw this stupid movie i wanted a this was a bad series to the puppet master and i'm sure that i am not the only one that thinks this was terrible to some it was great but to others it was a ticket to and boy are they right the puppets didn't even do anything nor did they kill people it be seen by people so i'm warning you not to see it you will be disappointed even to the fans who love puppet master it was a waste of their time and it didn't make so much money nobody even got kill but one or two very pointless br br 1 10,negative +i'm one of those for punishment when it comes to sitcoms these days i still will check them out every once in a while my observation is that most of them aren't very funny even the ones on major networks that are getting high ratings i just don't get who is finding them gut funny while a few have made me crack a smile none of them made me laugh out loud i usually change the channel after a few minutes now on the fox network they out new shows like changing your underwear for some reason they think they can make a good sitcom wrong dead wrong they have beat this dead horse so much it is to the point of hiring just anyone they can find to write a crappy pilot with bad dialog and just them out let's take a brief look at the latest piece of junk that fox has out called the war at home br br i watched about 5 minutes of it and that was generous in this particular episode the daughter is off to her parents doing the i'm an adult now rant the dad gets fed up tells her ok fine go ahead and do whatever you want if you screw up it's your problem to which she replies well i guess your mad but hey at least i didn't get aids cue the laugh track no way that can be a live audience unless they have been paid to applaud such garbage i found the crack about not having aids to be in such bad taste well hey at least i don't have to watch any more of this crap take a hint fox stop wasting your time with sitcoms ok well you have the simpsons but it is now getting really old and tired as well,negative +what can i say i got up this morning and turned on sci fi and watched half of the first season and figured it all out strange unusual and brilliant it gives all potential and to think at first i said this looks stupid this has got to be the next best thing since x files but as always nothing will ever take down that show in my opinion i am telling you it's scary and then suspenseful and then towards the end you have miles as a love puppy with a weird pet that is a new species you have two people on the run from authorities and a killer about to strike wow and did i mention miles pet is a potential killer well the rest of his species is surface is a brilliant show with and twists that delivers it all,positive +during my struggle to stay awake during this i fought through my near off to discover some silly plot regarding quite incredibly annoying running into trouble with a psychotic damaged half human half cyborg named splatter who sends his soldiers after them for the murder of their politically vocal leader for whom splatter killed himself setting them up to take the blame so he could become the leader these face painted freaks form a group who express their feelings though non violently living on streets abandoned by the world their concerns regarding nuclear anyways most of the film has these five frat running throughout streets with walls as splatter and his pursue them thankfully for these guys they find a punk to assist them on their journey out of this rather ugly with which they're this territory the frat guys are immersed is a of streets and with the idea of an exit out most difficult particularly when and bunch nearly every turn br br yeah i was like others thanks to the poster which is most excellent if only he had been the designer of this dreck this is not the case and we the viewer are left a film after of all movies it seems walter the warriors except this film doesn't have the style or that film has the film has a of unfunny bits and lame between the and the with hand to hand often laughable the setting is rather interesting and there are some atmospheric uses of light but it's not the environment that's the problem it's the plot and characters within the environment that grow tiresome the under my eyes every minute this movie continued yes texas chainsaw stars quite a funny voice man who has an entertaining interview on the dvd i rented for this turd of a film and marilyn burns have key roles as members of their against the government resulting in the final conclusion within a building complex at the end character splatter uses these metal which emerge from his metal arm to kill his victims,negative +just to save you the 3 or whatever it costs to rent movies at your local video store and the hour and however long this movie is here's a simple plan go over to a friend's house talk them into renting the for you watch the first 30 seconds or so and then make up some excuse to leave the opening sequence is really funny definitely worth watching unfortunately the other 99 of the movie is horrible without the shower scene at the beginning this is one of the worst movies of all time,negative +super original really great movie james franco and miller really do go so well together on screen i sure hope it comes out soon i first saw this movie at a screening because of my age and gender i was asked to stay for a talk we all got to comment on the movie and a lot of people didn't seem to like it i really loved it and i don't know why so many people didn't think it was that good go see it when it comes out and decide for yourself one thing that you might want to do if you are going to see this movie is to go into it not knowing anything about it i had not known anything when i went to the screening other than it was called it really is worth seeing,positive +are you kidding me the music was so loud in this show i could often not even hear the dialog and the music was nothing great anyone know what mother said when he walked in the door and the cloud looked pretty close to have so little instant anyone research the effects of nuclear before writing this one i felt like a bunch of sit com actors were sent on location and didn't know what to do with dramatic dialog and what does a kansas teen know about shopping in couldn't we have had a better line here was bored to tears and only kept awake by the jarring of the over mixed way to loud music,negative +this is a delightful gem of a movie unfortunately as just for kids the plot revolves around a young man roy newly arrived in florida from the montana mountains trying to fit in with the other kids at his middle school roy discovers a brother sister team trying to protect at an illegal construction site look for carl the author of the book upon which this movie is based as the male secretary to the evil boss at corporate writer director is also the clerk at the public records office where the teen detectives discover that the impact report is missing luke wilson nearly steals all the crucial scenes from the charming teen actors who have most of the best lines wilson is the bumbling police officer in his three electric police complete with blue light and funky as officer dave he tries so hard to do well but usually ends up falling in the literally several times jimmy is pretty low key as the supportive science teacher but young actors logan roy the bear and cody fingers are superb as the teens who finally put officer dave on the right track following the paper trail left by the evil corporate boss i hope you come away from this movie feeling as good as i did just plain fun one small complaint though i hope all non realize that not everyone from florida is as to as depicted in this film we're really a friendly bunch just ask carl and jimmy,positive +viewed this great classic film of greta garbo and thought her performance was excellent however the german film version which had english was her greatest performance greta garbo even mentioned to the press that the german film was her favorite where she had to make the change from silent films to sound greta had a high pitched voice and had to take lessons in order to lower her voice for her future roles in films this story was very sad because greta garbo anna christie was abused on a farm by young boys and her father left her years ago as a sailor and then as a coal captain there were many scenes of old nyc the brooklyn bridge island and the sky line of manhattan charles matt burke days of wine a classic veteran actor gave a great supporting role,positive +i had the misfortune to catch this on a flight recently i had the bigger misfortune of having it played on my return flight as well obviously attempt to get some arty the movie is a because of her lousy acting ability a better actress might have made this work but a simple look at the face of moore shows the within at least she's not ruining american literature this time out,negative +don't get me wrong i love most of paul movies so it was with sheer excitement i was able to attend at the rolling thunder screening at the french with surprise movie on the 2004 of course the surprise movie was the exorcist and most people were there for that i was too the film was then finished but the score so p used from the return of the king and some other movie i forget was it conan anyways apart from that the movie was the happy few there maybe 200 people were told to please not write about the film on the internet or magazines since it may have its chance of getting selected to the cannes film festival then came the film then came the realization that the film might not get selected for the festival because of its quality never in my life had i experienced such a feeling of in the audience as people went from being skeptical to laughing out loud at the pity full spectacle i couldn't believe how low the author of light sleeper blue collar and had sunk br br forced over the top acting stupid ending black and white moral awful worst take on christianity from ever not even suspenseful just boring as hell no pun intended and at all some good locations but sadly miss used or at least not fulfilling the initial hopes in the end i was 100 times more satisfied by the penned rolling thunder and wished my 2 hours back br br don't believe the hype even the john movie is more exciting and original oh and the billy crawford casting the poor guy does his best but what where you expecting he's now part of the small club of worst casting mistakes ever i give the movie a 1 5 just because i didn't leave the room but i should have,negative +this film biography of early rock and roll star buddy holly 1936 1959 is a tour de force for gary busey the movie's highlights are stage performances where he plays guitar and sings holly songs he brings such energy to the performances that own filmed performances almost pale in comparison grin lights up the screen he creates a totally believable and winning personality and his oscar nomination for best actor was well deserved br br the film follows career from growing up in texas to stardom and new york and his death in a plane crash one thing i found interesting if true was driving ambition he had great plans to go beyond recording and performance to producing as young as he was he was already establishing himself as a businessman and definitely wanted to take things to a higher level we will never know if he would have ultimately his early success into a business brand like the rolling stones br br the lyrics of many of songs are pretty adolescent read the lyrics for peggy sue or oh boy and you will see what i mean maybe to a great extent this explains his popularity with adolescent audiences but his and stage performances surely account for his influence on groups to follow both the rolling stones and the beatles have acknowledged his importance br br clearly some liberties were taken for dramatic effect for example i doubt that holly ever out a producer in or that the audience at new apollo theater was so immediately as to be wildly dancing in the if you are interested in getting closer to the truth see the documentary the real buddy holly story 1985 that is produced and by a very relaxed and engaging paul this contains interviews with family friends and band mates musical brothers are not even mentioned in the buddy holly story members of other bands like keith richards and don also offer opinions and stories and there is footage of old holly performances the production can stand on its own but it makes an excellent companion piece to the buddy holly story and perhaps should be required viewing for anyone who watches the story,positive +definitely the best game for ever i most say i was disappointed with tomorrow never dies but the world is not enough promises to be better then according to the website i love so much i find something to do every time i play it i have even made up my own missions for the levels multi player is the best of any game out there and the graphics are astounding even now the first day i got this i remember wishing that they would go back and make all of the bond movies into games can you imagine driving that speed boat in live and let die and making those incredible jumps or fighting off ninjas or fighting jaws in the spy who loved me and i think fighting him in those games would be more fun then in the aztec what about chasing in the gas or st in for your eyes only oh well let me get back to the game at hand all of the levels are unique and make for very fun killing there are many places to hide so you can up on people especially statue park well this game is not worthy of renting you really need to buy it today,positive +lucille ball tries to look 30 years younger than she actually was in this poor excuse for a musical br br the movie features some of the worst choreography ever seen laced with the constant threat that lucy might break into song with her voice at any moment total lack of talent as a singer and dancer sinks the film before it can begin and aside from die hard lucy fans no one is likely to fancy it very much bad costumes and cheesy set designs don't help further proof that lucy wasn't good at anything except making stupid faces br br directed by gene,negative +in a key can be taken as a mediocre exercise gay and judy davis a good cast juliette new age freaky character has been incredibly taken from reality i know an american young lady who like her but does not show much beyond its plot br br even though movie making is all about make believe there were certain noticeable screenplay inconsistencies two you pay 14 euro to enter the where and frankie met never at 7 am and you cannot leave a without paying the bill they'll charge you on the spot if they don't know you or get off a taxi that quickly you americans always tip even though they don't expect to but the sequences portrayed in the movie were ridiculous don't believe me reader come over and see for yourself br br if you've never been here before you might not care about all this but good movies should be believable of your origin nobody knows about here and i will make sure that does not change in the future,negative +it's a bit unnerving when a studio to screen a film for the press before it goes into wide release that many movies suck is no surprise but when a studio itself admits as much ahead of time the process of movie going becomes a passion play of sorts consider it an early christmas gift from hollywood then that isn't nearly the to taste and decency one might expect given the above though ultimately overwhelmed by its flaws it at least has sort of an idea with which to toy around too bad director seems to have little clue how to it all br br it's the future there's been a plague there is a and there are rebels the latter are known as the and far from being a cult of or they're into attempts to the former called the regime the regime is occasionally mean to the which is more than and her pals can stand through some sort of virtual reality technology the receive orders from their dear leader frances a mystical type who appears to have been cross with a it falls to to on some form fitting futuristic get ups to carry out the high orders which are of course some version of destroy the regime having years earlier watched her sister get by the she needs little convincing br br not surprisingly things get complicated the might not be quite what they seem and herself might have an unexpected history with them though occasionally muddled the film's central of which i won't reveal more contains some neat notions about the nature of human existence and survival there's room for much more examination of which the film doesn't take advantage but the ideas are there at least the big problems of are technical has made the decision to film nearly all the action so close that we can rarely follow what's going on to make matters worse it's edited in a of jump cuts that leave us completely lost the result is some serious that takes over the film 's aesthetic is one of costume oddly architecture and characters much of the action occurs in open spaces that beg for some long shots that might convey the grace and implied by the above instead we get split seconds of flying limbs breaking glass and accompanying sound effects br br there is a pretty good movie trying to get out of the of put this stuff in the hands of the brothers say and the results could be quite different as it is though i felt like was pushing me away from a movie i wanted to enjoy this film is to its own strengths like a poker player dealt a royal it somehow finds a way to lose in spite of its potential,negative +running out of time rests somewhere in the middle of johnny cannon in the solid good category as a crime thriller it's not terribly original or overwhelming and the action scenes will not blow you away but it has something else going for it it's a johnny to film after all it has to br br andy has hours to live he decides to play a strange cat and mouse game with a hostage of the hk police played by wan that's the plot in a nutshell on top of that to layers of twists and turns that keep proceedings interesting throughout it occasionally becomes too convoluted for its own sake but never lets it get the best of it however just as johnny to is about to hand over a slick and well made crime flick which let's face it are dime a dozen he slips in bits and pieces that bring running out of time alive as a full emotional experience providing the soul and heart to the well br br the concepts of and in his work are explored in great effect here always subtle letting the images speak for themselves giving them time to develop with long takes and slow tracking shots cutting to the score it's all here a small love story in a bus between andy and a girl is among the highlights of the film and part of the heart i'm talking about so simple yet so powerful for and car scenes and the room showdown br br however something stops me from claiming running out of time is a masterpiece to has all the ability and down to a notch but he can also be too or bland at times when he's good he's real good there are even isolated moment of pure brilliance that are just too good for their own sake leaving a bittersweet for the rest of the movie i'm convinced that if he puts his heart to it he can make a really great film as it is this is another one of his films that is flawed but enjoyable underneath the slick hk style it's the black humour and heartfelt drama that makes this a compelling film worth watching definitely,positive +if i were to rate this movie based solely on the acting script production etc i would give it one star all these elements are awful i can partially forgive this in light of the film's 250 budget the movie does contain many entertaining scenes mostly those of the unintentionally funny variety some of these include a 14 year old kid stealing and driving a bus teenage one of whom is sporting a joy division t shirt getting scared away from the film's protagonists by a woman an obviously fake and an encounter with a plastic skull in the arizona desert br br i would have given it 5 stars just for the entertainment value were it not for the presence of that horribly annoying morally old i had to one star just because of her who the makes a wedding cake with black anyhow,negative +peter rarely seen punishment park is a brutality laced political weapon set across a never ending an left anti abuse fest the at first appear to be so over the top and sickening that it could come off as some distant alternate history one harry would even enjoy but once we delve deeper in and really pay attention to the out of those over the topped as well as the shotgun guards the bloody affair our eyes are truly opened suddenly we realize just how film making is as much of this is the kind of neo con talking points about youth culture and the of thought tossed around by politicians today granted much of it was drivel out then as well but it really shows us how little has changed and informs of how in some ways we are closer to such a world where punishment parks would be a real and frightening operation br br the main players in nearly every scene are seasoned non actors mostly chosen for their political views and desire to get them on camera this lends an heap of authenticity to the entire experience as we never even for a second question the reality of all the chaos shot documentary style with film this appears like a gritty of some despicable government test project that was classified until found years later at least it appears to have that history to it now maybe not as much when it was barely released but this gives an added weight to all the proceedings and helps draw you into this incredible not so alternate universe of torture for convicted,positive +this film was not great cinema but definitely a good film to see with your family especially children from 10 15 there are good topics of discussion brought up in this movie such as bullies the environment and working to make things right jimmy music was a plus and the scenery was wonderful the young actors were excellent and this is a movie i would expect to see on the family channel or the hallmark channel except for a few words in the dialog a middle school could show this film to start discussions in the hopefully it will be shown in drive ins this summer so that more people get to see it it did follow carl book well and it was fun to see him in a cameo performance,positive +i saw the greek when it first came out in 1978 i found it extremely boring i thought it was no better than a except for one thing for the first time in my life i realized why it would be good to be rich seeing the scenery off and getting my first real into the lifestyle of the rich and famous opened my eyes to martha stewart it was a good thing funny i don't remember the sex scene i hadn't seen the movie since it was on the big screen and found the session with the mistress memorable this time maybe because i was younger and single back then it was no big deal,negative +a gang of lead by the rugged ruthless a perfectly performance by gilbert steals 300 000 worth of gold during a daring train robbery but member an amusing turn by jose makes off with the

often hilarious feature makes for an inspired send up of sergio the good the bad and the ugly popping up in nifty secondary parts are the as fiery gal pal as a hard army captain and gerard as lawrence an immensely amusing and enjoyable romp,positive +the cat upon a ship that bird happens to be on with his owner oh i don't even have enough words to convey how much i disdain both the and characters they simply are not funny to me and made this short quite the chore to sit through indeed is a great character on his own but there's only so much he can do when confronted by the sheer awfulness of that and old witch of a this animated short can be found on disc 4 of the looney tunes golden collection volume 1 and features an commentary by micheal br br my grade d,negative +a fantastic movie and very overlooked gary has never been more handsome and ingrid is more beautiful than in any other film if you don't believe just watch the movie every cast member is wonderful the love scenes between gary and ingrid will make your pulse race the story is great the script is oscar caliber don't miss this film,positive +i rented this thinking it would be pretty good just by the cover of the movie case judge and jury started out pretty good killer chasing the man who killed his wife on a bike with a cool gun but this movie got as it went on david keith is awesome actor especially when he plays a role like this too bad the movie was a piece of crap it really wasted his talent judge and jury was well plain dumb i gave it a 3 should have gave it a 2 i gave it an extra star just because david gun was cool,negative +a young man recently engaged to be married is the victim of a traffic accident and dies as a result of his his father desperate to revive his son agrees to let a scientist friend try his experimental soul process to save him after the young man returns to life the father and fiancée notice a dark and violent change in the young man's behavior leading them to believe something went horribly wrong in the revival process according to the dvd synopsis br br at one point edward norris as philip bennett is asked what do you think this is boys town mr norris should know since he was in boys town the man with two lives is more like black friday minus karloff and lugosi you do the this film might have been a with a re worked script it does feature an intriguing final act after a tepid shoot out hang in for the drama to pick up with a well played scene between star norris and pursuing detective richards as george br br the man with two lives 1942 phil edward norris richards,negative +i'm not here to tell you is or fellini esquire nope directors are more like don charlie and walter hill the warriors those two didn't fool around with like putting women in their movies no need apply they made guy movies guns lots of guns men met violent death with a of the jaw their movies were like a to the head you want a friend get a dog br br is so a guy movie bloody wounds exploding money if that doesn't get the lizard part of your brain excited then stay away br br at minutes is all muscle without an ounce of fat we meet six security guards who drive three per truck the six led by matt dillon scheme up a fake involving two their mission one day is to deliver million from the federal i think the idea is to drive both to a warehouse the cash then stage a sure the cops will suspect them but if they stick together they'll get through it br br trouble is one of the six played by short is a at first but he faces and he's the guardian for his messed up younger brother he needs cash bad br br matt dillon the no blood on anyone's hands a clean all good no bad you'll be rich forever blue smiling at you br br right br br everything goes to hell of course it's one damned thing after another and the stakes keep going up and it almost all happens inside an abandoned warehouse somewhere in los angeles in fact the movie goes out of its way to project a backdrop of industrial urban i happen to like industrial urban br br kudos to matt dillon who plays the top bad dog he goes from charming to disappointed to frustrated to to totally insane in the course of the movie love that guy br br also credit is due to the menacing and totally sinister electronic soundtrack by john murphy i am guessing he's heard a few dream records br br also it's surprising that this is a pg 13 movie i caught one — one — f bomb in this entire movie about violent tough guy robbers on some level i like that take the kids br br the director is a hungarian who made a fine noir set in the subway system called screenwriter is an out of nowhere guy called james v simpson br br a lot of the people in this movie are just starting out i am willing to bet the given to this movie will rise as time goes on and these filmmakers advance in their careers,positive +let me say this about edward d wood jr he had a passion for his work that i wish more people did have if we all had the optimism and the commanding hope of ed wood the world would probably be a much better place being familiar with ed story and having seen the most wonderful biopic ed wood 1994 several times i admire his and his for the job he loved i still admire his never say die attitude he had a love for directing that i wish more people in modern day hollywood had br br but that doesn't make his movies any more fun to watch and or glenda his first and most film is probably his very worst br br or glenda is a cult movie about a cross named played by director writer ed wood himself who despite his love for his fiancée barbara fuller cannot seem to his lust for in which he dresses in women's clothing and a wig and thus becomes glenda story is narrated by a doctor and he too is talked and watched over by a mysterious character called the scientist played by veteran horror star bela lugosi oh and there's also some sub story about an alan anne character who becomes a based on the christine story upon whom this movie originally titled i changed my sex was previously to be based br br have i dropped your jaw yet well as much as i want to warn you off this picture if you've never seen it i would never tell a lie about a movie and there is not one word of in that plot synopsis i just gave you every thing in it is true this is a movie about cross and a topic that does not sound very appealing to begin with and is not done in a very appealing manner i'm sure that with a good screenplay and a good director it had neither that or glenda despite the subject matter could have been a very moving picture it is a movie on part as he was a in real life as well as on screen but once again that does not make it a good movie or a watchable one for that matter or glenda is a mess of a movie that sinks into new in the realm of bad cinema it makes no more sense than does its silly scene where bela lugosi screams pull the string over inexplicable footage of the majority of the movie is narrated in a monotonous voice reminding me of some very bad short informative films i've seen before it's like one of those really bad short films expanded into a minute feature and twice as dull we sit there for ages waiting for the plot that never comes there is no real attempt to even build energy with the camera being locked down in one position for many minutes and long stretches of time where nothing at all happens the only moments that are worth time are those of bela lugosi who manages to bring some light into these dark i guess lugosi is supposed to be like the of the film but personally i couldn't care less who or what he's supposed to be i'll tell you what he was a gifted actor who wound up making trash but he and wood were very good friends and liked working with each other so good for him br br i will always admire edward d wood jr for his passion for the cinema but i will never as long as i live admire his movies a film critic once called ed movies innocent fun but i think even that is questionable innocent yes fun no sir and if citizen kane is the of the cinematic world then or glenda is probably the,negative +how many reviews of this film will i have to write before i get it right tom fully the of the from his real life brother george sanders with this entry out in beautiful double single style suits and in gorgeous steel cars with huge and suicide doors that come up to your travels from new york to miami to keep a formula for industrial from falling into the wrong hands his client is lovely who has got gorgeous hair but will let you only kiss her for the first two months along the way he runs into the type of colourful array of characters only a b movie could provide his sidekick in this outing is perhaps best among edward as goldie locke who is given some really funny lines he runs into sinister dish doris the type of chick that you know puts out her is benny played by steve who twenty years later was a bag in two paramount king movies they both work for cold fish and cap wearing kenneth ready to do what it takes to get the formula as he his to brazil with the pursuing cops ever this entry still supreme forget those minute give me a 1 hour movie any day i got a wife and two kids who's got time for a two hour movie shake up some dry and forget your troubles with this great movie but if you didn't tape it off local tv in toronto like i did 17 years ago you're out of luck,positive +about the discussion on the south the and the well i am from the south near the south pole to be exact is this southern enough seriously some stories are universal we have never been to nor lived the classic period of homer but he speaks to us today so does shakespeare and and stories from far unknown places also reach us when told with sensibility intelligence humor just like o brother besides we all the rest of the world have our own too and our own depression era ever heard of during year 2001 our politicians and racism our gentle souls just like and tommy i simply loved this movie folks despite the subtitles despite being on the other side of the world and please forgive my errors in english i tried my best br br ps i believe nobody this favorite phrase when asks george nelson what does he do for a living while handling him the machine gun,positive +well made documentary about a race sanity and the loss of both br br i remembered reading sir francis account of his trip around the world when i was in high school as i watched this film what an adventure that was br br deep water tells an equally fascinating story br br it takes a special person and an excellent sailor to manage a non stop trip around the world alone br br this film does a great job of that br br i love to and my brother races j 30s br br but i could never accomplish such a feat,positive +i figure this to be an alternate reality teen flick more precisely a type character as the leader of a cheat ring yeah i know it's not meant to compared to at least not in a to way but it will none the less br br bottom line it's away from even being even a minor classic it is watchable though only if you're not expecting very much that said the main character has some charm but the premise wears thin because the writing just isn't clever the movie just did not deliver enough laughs twists or tension to keep my interest br br to be honest i did continue watching watching with hopes to see if anything suddenly it didn't so stylish as it is i wouldn't recommend this movie btw it seems odd to see mary tyler moore as the principal she's truly miscast i hope the paycheck was big,negative +i think that most people would agree with me if i were to say that the movie alien pretty much set the bar for atmosphere i've seen quite a few movies match that bar but none have ever eerie and the cave is a film that tries very hard to the bar i believe the trailer even mentioned something about being as scary as alien yet not once throughout the movie did i ever feel even the slightest bit scared or thrilled for that matter br br so now that we got the ball of rolling i might as well explain why the main hook the atmosphere in case you weren't paying attention into a waste of my time i'll say right now that most of the sets were gorgeous and nicely lit but what we hear and what we know is there tend to ruin what we see the music for one is terrible we either get corny rock music or over exaggerated haunted house music okay maybe that's pushing it a bit but i couldn't bear it the many underwater scenes were bad enough it's a well known fact that underwater scenes are always boring as hell i didn't need rock music in my ears while they were simply swimming through a cave this actually produced a lot of unintentional laughter that was then by the following crash scene br br anyway as i already mentioned it wasn't just the music that killed the atmosphere heck no the creatures hiding amongst the darkness are supposed to horror i'm supposed to be worried that they are going to appear and merely a glimpse of them is supposed to make my blood turn cold the cave does wisely take a page from the alien by not showing the entire creature for very long and leading up to the reveal with only glimpses but it just doesn't work because the creatures are so lame i guess it would be rude to spoil the but they are basically the aliens with wings br br i guess you get the point by now atmosphere ruined yet i know plenty of people who will still see a movie if it's exciting i'd like to say that about the cave but i'd be lying this movie is slow to get to the action and once we get there we sort of wonder when the thing is going to finally call it a day we've seen all this done better before with the exception of a few neat scenes the guy on the and the so you really don't get any thrills from watching people running from uninspired alien in endless br br ah but no the pain doesn't end there we must also take the characters and acting into account well i can't remember a single line of dialogue other than run and the only character's name i can remember is jack but that's only because it's placed in almost every other line near the end of the movie perhaps the actors were capable but the script didn't allow them to do anything other then run and argue they had almost no background and whenever somebody died they simply it off it's pretty sad when you consider that the cgi puts on the best performance in the film br br speaking of cgi there's plenty of it most of which is terrible i do them on using suits at least i think they were suits but nothing truly with the environment and as a result most of the effects end up looking pretty hokey br br so i guess to wrap it up the cave is bad and has very little going for it had the film been a scifi channel premiere movie or low budget direct to video release i might have a bit more love for it but this film was a theatrical release with more wit and talent this might have been a fun movie but as it stands this film is about as scary as going into the basement and that's not very good br br my review from waves http com page cave,negative +after my daughter was born in 1983 i needed to lose weight i tried the 20 minute and i was hooked i lost about 50 it was the most weight i ever lost in my life i can't believe this show is forgotten it would be a if you started a cable channel strictly for exercise and included the 20 minute i think this was the best video ever made i wish i could purchase it somehow and somewhere the routine was easy to learn and you did work up quite a sweat the they have today are too complicated and too hard to learn please do your best to get this video back in i pray it will be a to all who see and use it,positive +i have watched my fair bit of bollywood films when growing up you know the typical plot boy meets girl girl rejects boys bad guys take away girl boy girl by killing hundreds of and they happily get married of course i've an hour of musical style numbers well going into watch i was expecting another typical bollywood style movie however to my delight it turned out to be and indeed quite comical is what could be labeled as one of those indian films such as the ever popular south asian hits as wedding east is east or bend it like beckham br br being of south asian decent and having watched various classic bollywood films there was much humour and sub dialogs which could be picked up that reminded me of the fun and charming side of indian culture e g the various pop numbers which were actually remade by or the witty indian that were used can be enjoyed by all south and is also entertaining for those not to the indian humor as the characters and plot to all audiences br br in a the movie is of auto driver aka for those of you who have traveled to india know played by from wedding who gets himself involved with a crook and ends up him quite a bit of money to avoid selling his four he escapes with and a very charismatic and lovely woman from france who herself is escaping the boredom of her boyfriend benoit jean marie who was in swimming pool the movie is of their journey traveling across the beautiful landscape of – the land of love stories through the humour you see the two main actors trying to find out who they are really are br br what made the night most memorable was having the director executive producer main editor and even the mother of ms present at the screening after speaking with who actually has a background many interesting of the film were including having the film finished only 10 days prior to the toronto international film festival and taking only 45 days to shoot and having only five actors in the play the rest were all first time real actors arriving home i realized two things from the movie that there is always a human connection between any one of us despite our differences and secondly as the director had put it has a love br br its a must see for everyone,positive +this film had about everything one could wish when viewing it originally at the end of the 1960's decade it was immensely entertaining and provided a contemporary view of the many changes which had occurred during that period and were still ongoing in terms of the black power movement vietnam and the movement which followed the 1950's br br all of this and one of the funniest films then or now br br viewing it for the second time recently i was surprised to find it as engrossing as when seen originally its humor is as funny and its message as strong br br and in viewing it now you get all of this while at the same time gaining the added enjoyment of its being a period piece and a superb of its this historic time,positive +the 13th and last rko film starts with the mutual by tom as tom lawrence the and ed as goldie of no whilst they prepare to go on vacation while you're still wondering what they're going on vacation from as they hadn't had a job since the beginning of the 1st film in 1941 with sanders as gay though and as goldie they into a woman and get dragged into a seedy industrial espionage caper br br they promise to help her when her uncle is murdered by taking an containing the details of a formula to make substitute industrial to his business colleague in miami suspect everyone here except the cops here who are after lawrence – and goldie for the murder to himself goldie keeps travel on the day you can always enjoy the warmth of a nice electric chair for one some nice atmospheric nightclub scenes rub shoulders with some especially bad behaviour from the baddies favourite bit the game of hide and seek hunt the the and suave lawrence has with the baddies on the sleeper train least favourite bit the most embarrassing scene in the entire series in the alligator wrestling – definitely thrown in for the kids br br all in all not the best in the series but yet another entertaining outing with an overall satisfying plot and many episodes even in this that make me wish they could have gone on for just a few more years as columbia did with boston although rko were these out faster absolutely no sex not much violence in fact none at all by today's high standards and positively no message all make this type of film to serious people who can only regard movies as an art form that must depend on these three br br three were made later with john in the title role i don't mind them but could never bring myself to count them into the main series which tom had made his own by this time sad also that it was all downhill after this for who moved into tv voice overs and even played norman conquest in park rather well in 1953 he also developed serious eye and alcohol problems – i don't know if they were linked – wound up poverty stricken and after a spell in hospital in 1967 was found dead in his bed for us folk that want to at least we still have his 10 entertaining plus a number of other worthy even classic rko movies from 1942 to 1946 with which to remember him by,positive +i wouldn't exactly call this a good movie in fact it might even be a bad one br br but there are at least 2 good reasons to keep watching this movie those are the performances from and jonathan jackson eric whom both deliver solid performances br br they are much better then the rest of the cast whom are pretty bad especially cousin br br was excellent in the suburban kids goes to the hood drama havoc but here she's far from good on the edge to being annoying br br the story is decent enough although nothing special but it would have been much better since it takes place in that any of the kids actually a down south accent but they don't br br especially in a movie where the monster is actually so deeply into the folk with voodoo and such it's just plain stupidity not to include that accent into the characters br br the only one who does this is method man he plays deputy turner and puts down a pretty good accent in his few scenes and i mean if a is able to do this then why shouldn't the actors be able to do the same mister aka is highly enjoyable in his very very small role who know the would ever be a cop even if only on the big screen br br anyways besides that it's a pretty stupid but fairly enjoyable slasher movie but if and jackson was as bad as the rest of the young cast this could have been really bad thankfully they are good as usual br br 4 5 out of 10 decent but there are hundreds of better slasher movies out there,negative +jim is kind of like a romantic dark comedy about a dysfunctional family whose two boys are total losers both boys around 30 living at home with absolutely nothing going for them i live in the and i can't name one family like this i picked it up because i kind of like acting humor now i realize i need to have a agent to that humor to make it work the acting and camera work and editing was fine the first 15 minutes got you set and the last 15 minutes helped prevent the film from being totally depressing jerry springer trailer trash type of story the female members of my family were begging me to turn it off but i under the premise that there had to be a turning point near the end and we watched the entire movie the male family members as expected simply walked out after the first 30 minutes,negative +not every movie with lesbian chicks and vampires touching our favorite trash cult genre is nice unfortunately this movie of originality and the performances do not come up with the trash standards seem the intention to make it cult it failed trash movies are trash movies because it happens you cant create in purpose this kind of films i don't know if mr is a legend first time i heard his name but if he is i wonder the reason br br awful even the lesbian scenes are pathetic so any fans of erotic x films will not be satisfied as there a thousands of movies better than barely legal lesbian vampires,negative +first the a cop drama crossed with a funny melodrama … is independent and a menace to is put to good use in a tough cop performance immediately noticeable by its and force his is not so much a man of intellect but a man of vast life experience and instinct … is not in the sense that today's and already enjoy using the word it is most playful hour he tended to adapt books in a note it's said that was a big reader of detective novels as a director firm hand is successful br br it is not a mystery or a thriller but a satirical look at a couple and at the proceedings those with masterpiece les might find slightly the of things styles elements in … here speaks about many things about a couple and a hidden love story for about the world and about old about police techniques and an old bitter cop with a boy to raise etc there is a note of only in performance but also in the film's conception br br is a realistic crime drama made as a satire it offers an outstanding performance by as a tough police inspector is an old cop with an adventurous past he fought in africa but did not climb the because of his independent he lives with his son a at work is tough and an able inspector bitter intelligent and harsh it is a role of great gusto very composed his character of several defining clothes his expression his funny accent his brutality and that mocking air … is not made to look more clever than plausible when he makes mistakes and his talent is presented like the talent we meet in real with errors and and talent is one that comes also from experience from daily not the almost supernatural genius of almost all the famous detectives br br … is is a realistic crime drama and also a satire and a melodrama one can consider it among the first into the legendary of the french police long ago eastwood's and wayne's harsh cops there was br br the title is interesting suggesting that this is a movie about the police not about a case or a mystery br br as was perhaps the best and in france in the way that welles was … is very true to comic sharp observations much psychology sharp irony the man was when he filmed knew what to shoot what to the scenes of this film with jenny great stage success each scene is shot technical were amazing his style is inventive satirical sharp extremely ingenious br br style was powerful some disliked it precisely for these features as he had been a great stage actor his movie style was deemed as too theatrical etc his is a fine example of what was meant by a role by a composition br br had a very peculiar like a menacing bird of like van much and more intelligent and distinguished had this air and it is useful here as he performs an old tough cop one of sides is that it is a he is immediately recognizable by the quality of his play i see that many watching this flick do not know it is a is an astounding quality in itself br br and are the two french actors that i admire the most the first one was revealed to me by a drama the famous one while by a comedy i was to see that gave leading roles to both of them br br to end a word about he wrote the novel used by who had previously adapted another novel as a comedy was an old school mystery writer in the wallace vein he became quickly outdated with the new fashions when i was 11 i have read one of his thrillers and liked it much,positive +this is a really cute movie i had a massive girls 10 11 and they absolutely loved this movie they watched it twice don't let the rating fool you you have to be 13 or older to rate a movie on imdb that the movie's target audience if you have a girl or boy between 7 and 13 i guarantee they'll enjoy this movie br br sort of a gender hill set in high school aaron carter plays a famous pop star who is failing his classes his mom sends him to a regular high school with the ultimatum pass high school or no summer tour taking the advice of his manager former pop star david cassidy he befriends the girl in school austin with plans to off her look for the humorous and insightful janitor another former pop star,positive +one said if you like austin powers you will like this movie i liked powers and was disappointed with this movie the film works hard maybe too hard for laughs maybe it was that all the villains in this movie were shouting as if the shouting in itself is suppose to be funny i get where they were trying to go with this flick a cross between zorro and the scarlet but it just doesn't work austin powers if silly but intelligent zorro the gay blade lacks the of austin powers the big or br br i kept waiting for a laugh and while waiting found myself amazed that someone actually got paid for the script my 15 year daughter also thought the movie was flat my 17 year old who selected this flick on it's title walked out after 20 minutes br br it seems many people on imdb liked this film but for me it lacked the good timing or jokes of a good comedy,negative +in 1968 stanley kubrick made this historic film masterpiece base on a book written by arthur c clark it was such an early effort to make a science fiction movie combined with scientific facts his style of movie making is still fresh and intact br br i have seen this movie more that half a dozen times and i even have a vhs copy of the movie in my library class made me to see the movie again with another perspective who is hal and what is he thinking br br i enjoyed watching the movie again and tried to focus of dialogues throughout the second episode of the movie in the second scene dr dave and dr frank are eating their food in front of two tv on their sides and round glass is in the middle of them in the tv report hal was introduced as the new generation of super computer put in work in january 12 1992 called hal series during the interview hal as a humble working machine trying to accomplish the mission of the spaceship fully br br in another scene dave is dr hunter dr and dr who they are all in sleep hal is curious to see those sketches and brings up his question about the purpose of the mission his calm and voice makes the audience listen to him more carefully br br in the next few scenes we will see how hal tries to kill one by one and takes the power his conscious makes him capable to try to save his life from when dave wants to return to the spaceship and hal does not listen to him there is the most memorable line of the move ' i'm sorry dave i am afraid i can't do that ' in the middle of the most important interact between human and machine voice can both solid calm and in the same br br dave has gone back to the ship lost all his fellow and determined to the main brain cells hal uses his final techniques to convince dave of not him hal begs him to stop and let him correct himself these are his famous lines while dave is his one by one br br what do you think you are doing br br dave i am entitled to the answer of the question br br i know everything is not quiet right with me br br but i feel much better br br i can see are really upset about this very poor decision of mine br br dave stop will you br br dave stop br br i am afraid dave ' br br voice is down during this process and becomes and less br br mind is i can feel br br i sing a song for you ' br br dave is putting final out and let hal to sing his song called br br give br br your answer to br br i am br br although i am not br br hal dies as the mission br br artificial god bless you hal store in peace,positive +this film dear irony shaggy dog story lines woven with subtle cultural references classic parallels masterful use of rich color and fabulous rendition of chase scenes cops br br the ensemble work of the cast and entire crew is charming literally how else could i go on so br br this film speaks to everyone the and poignant use of so many universal that's what makes this film so deep down satisfying br br as a mature student of film i find checking out contains all the vital elements sure and it's not the godfather but would serve perfectly as follow up mandatory play that our collective wounds br br get to a theatre and see this film you will be treated to a unique masterpiece,positive +ever want to see a movie where chuck norris takes the bad guys aside and with them the errors of their ways until they see the light and with tears in their eyes they shake hands right the of the world together in peace and harmony and forever end the reign of evil in the world br br well forget it br br instead goes right for the drop kick as our truck man chuck his big into the small backwoods town where his little brother is being held by a corrupt judge and his even more corrupt law men br br chuck karate kicks chops and cuts every baddie in sight until not an evil raise his head a lot of fights are in slow motion for excitement purposes but just help pad out the movie to fill minutes br br and there's a lot of fights here which leave just about 15 minutes for plot development and that's about all the plot you get but what did you expect calm discussion br br one star for and that's a small 10 4 good buddy,negative +in the end credits of shadows after we read by john some white letters on the screen can be seen the film you have just seen is improvised they say i am always pursuing the fact that words are so important in movies since filmmakers started using them because basically there's no film without a screenplay and many other reasons br br cassavetes pursued the same goal and he believed in the freedom of words shadows is the perfect example it's a film with no real main characters with no real main plot lines it's mostly people in different situations talking yes some of the situations are connected but cassavetes apparently always in a rush to get to the talking uses a fast forward technique when the characters are going somewhere or escaping from someone and are not speaking br br appearances are everything in this movie for example there's a brilliant score full of jazz influences and a lot of fantastic and there's one character that says he's a jazz musician and plays the ben all the characters' names are the same names the actors' however we never see him play the or jam with a band he doesn't even talk about music and just wanders with his friends around the city they do talk a lot and about anything that's in their minds going from how intelligent each of them are to the hilarious analysis of a br br shadows is funny in its intellectual references in parts like the one above because these friends are not the only important female character in the film though wants to be an intellectual but again she has one very interesting conversation with an older man at a party about a book she's trying to write and about how to confront reality but nothing to do with being intellectual at that same party a woman is actually making an intellectual statement full of complexity and asks a guy beside her do you agree yes he says but you can tell he doesn't know what she's talking about br br another character a singer hugh talks about his glory days in occasions and we see him perform only once but no references to the musical industry there the focus of cassavetes is the relationship with his manager rupert which most of the time involves about trivial stuff and not real talks so the important deal in shadows is the time he spends with his friends the intellectual wannabe girl's is her way of handling romantic relationships one of the movie's strong points and the is the bond with his br br the reason why performances are not important in this movie is simple cassavetes needed people who could master without if they were actually good i believe some of them aren't but they surely know how to in a scene and you can notice how well they do it shadows is not about performers it's about a way of making cinema based on the magic of conversation and there you could say that performances mean something br br that's why in every conversation the camera is like a stalker constantly on the eyes of every character constantly looking for the expressions that come with natural speech there's a scene where the player and his friends are trying to pick up some girls they are three so each of them sits beside one girl the girls are three two in three different tables they all talk at the same time and the camera shoots through the table and sometimes the friends look at each other while they say whatever they are natural,positive +visually beautiful with some fine music this film otherwise has a fairly trite made for tv quality the romance between two characters which a cultural and educational is simply not plausible of course from early on we knew our heroine would up win over the locals and find true love but that doesn't make it any less that the movie had to take such completely expected turns this film had lots of promise which makes it more of a shame that the promise was perhaps a nice under the on a cold night on cable but i certainly wouldn't recommend paid rental or purchase i'm sure the soundtrack is wonderful though,negative +interesting twist on the vampire yarn fast loud and moody despite my initial fears kris k carries his part reasonably well and snipes aka blade provides a physical presence lots of blood steel silver burning and exploding bodies provide an enjoyable minute distraction if you like the black look of the matrix then blade will appeal to you blade even has a the sequence,positive +this is an odd movie on the surface it's no different to many other d grade gore movies but in at least a few ways it stands out firstly the main killer character is really weird how the heck a guy who only ever like a chicken got is totally beyond me what was that female board member thinking he's totally and he another problem with the geek is the script direction for the women the daughter is so pathetic and seemingly stupid that if she was mine slap her in attempting to her mother off the bed she struggles with and just doesn't seem to think i'll get or a knife later on in a similar attempt to her mother she wanders down stairs and starts searching in a box of stuff for some eventually she gets a knife by the way this is after the killer has obviously left in the car and just returned bizarre on the plus side the daughter did get her off for the shower scene so that was nice although again unusual it seems that in many of these d grade gore movies they happily show throats being bitten open with blood but the sight of a female breast is somehow too strong for the audience in general it worked but it was annoying and nasty although the bare breasts made up for some of that,negative +black friday did this plot so much better which is why it is remembered and the man with two lives is just a forgotten shed no tears was it's working title and it would have been a better one as he was a thoroughly evil character for most of the film br br philip bennett is newly engaged when he is involved in a traffic accident dr clark edward has been involved in some experimental on animals bringing them back from the dead his colleagues urge him to try his operation on phillip who has died as he is operating a dangerous criminal wolf is going to the electric chair and of the soul occurs when phillip from the operation he has the soul of he is a changed person he is rude to his family and starts to hang around old he takes over old gang going by the name of philip bennett he also former girlfriend who a rat bennett as wolf is determined to even up scores and starts to eliminate his enemies bodies pile up including the girlfriend and a policeman then his own family begins to fall victim br br but i hate those bad dream movies you always feel let down this film would have been better if he had stayed in character as and had a final shoot out his fiancée would have ended up but with his brother br br edward norris the star had a big career mostly in b movies br br not really recommended,negative +oh there are many worse wayne movies this movie is edited poorly but it has a campy element that makes watching it enjoyable the villain is an actor who sports ridiculous mexican clothes and affects an over the top mexican accent which is hilarious the girl is dressed like a jean harlow wannabe this is 1934 after all at least the location shots are beautiful and enjoyable br br watch it and laugh don't expect a serious western but rather a lightweight and superficial story with poor acting but occasional flashes of camp humor wayne is almost young and handsome and one can see his acting ability years after this venture,negative +i remember watching this movie when it came out as a t v movie of the week in the early 1970's br br although i haven't seen this movie in over 30 years i remember how creepy it was the sister's dead body in the basement the storm raging outside the creepy house with no electricity and a killer still on the premises br br they just don't make t v movies like this one anymore elizabeth was a very underrated actress and i liked her in not only but several of her post roles such as this one and the legend of br br i really wish that someone would come out with a dvd that has several of the 1970's t v movie of the week on one dvd wouldn't it be awesome to watch when michael calls bad ronald don't be afraid of the dark farm etc all on one dvd i know there is a market for a dvd like this for all of us baby who grew up in the 1960's and 1970's maybe if we are lucky someday someone will offer us a dvd with a great selection of t v movies like this,positive +the notion of marital portrayed in the film seems outdated today but it is exactly the main characters' to that notion which makes the entire story so tragic it is this notion that them and allows them to stand out to as they refer to their respective not be like them br br as tony said in the film love just happens there doesn't need to be a rational explanation as to how it happens it simply does despite their not wanting to to their respective level it happened social and timing all against this relationship coming into simply being in love is far from enough br br i had the misfortune of sitting beside a young couple still in university from the snippets of conversation they kindly shared with me throughout the entire film and to the pains of lost love and missed opportunities their gross inability to the and the deeper emotions made me realize just how much a film such as this as well as other wong work is wasted on the local audience,positive +this is seriously one of the best low budget b movies that i have ever seen i am not one to stand up and cheer during a movie but this one was definitely worth it obviously the premise is that there is a bed that eats people well eats is a term i guess it really acid to suck the victims into itself and them in it's goodness the best part of this movie is that william russ is one of the main characters the typical family man actually started his career with this movie and an there is plenty of nudity in this flick so obviously not for the children but that should not anyone from seeing this movie it is my belief that everyone needs a little death bed in their lives at some point or other it's best to get it sooner than later,positive +i'm a fan of the 1950's original and about 20 minutes into this remake i started to think this was going to be as good as the original but it wasn't the motive for the murders was incredibly stupid two of the lovers in the movie turn out to be brother and sister excuse me while i the main character stops in the middle of the movie to have sex which doesn't make sense considering the situation he's in if the film makers wanted a sex scene they should have put it earlier in the movie before the main character played by dennis quaid found he's about to die and that he's accused of a crime there is a reason for where the sex scene is at early in the movie isn't living life to the so he's not interested in sleeping with meg ryan i still feel it would make more sense for the sex scene to have either been cut or earlier in the film and the two siblings not to have been lovers br br one of the dumbest parts of the movie involves a gun fight a couple people getting killed and one person being run over all within 15 of a crowded carnival and yet nobody at the carnival notices also in the scene is the the university where the movie takes place is built on if you fall into the you sink to the bottom and in a matter of seconds not only is it hard to believe stuff would sink that fast in but more importantly who builds a university on i would say more about how stupid the end of the movie is but i don't want to put a spoiler in my post,negative +i have seen films come and go in my years and when i see a disaster film i keep hoping i wont be disappointed and with this one i was not in the least the story of a whole country sinking into the ocean was a great concept written by a novelist with intense theories on where this earth is going the characters were top notch and even though i am not japanese i didn't need a to give the idea of how people in their most desperate needs can come together for the common good the special effects blew me away i was literally on the edge of my seat watching the waves flows and land explosions that must have taken months of work to perfect as for the acting i thought yes this is acting at its best emotions run rampant throughout the film and i cried at the most severe scenes for movie goers alike you don't need to speak or understand japanese to watch this film you can get the idea and feeling from each person and character to understand it well and to follow it along like you are there my hats off to for directing it i hope he can his work with another mind blowing experience as i said fantastic film,positive +this may not be the most or incredible episode they've made but in my opinion it remains as one of star trek and the sci fi most original episodes most ideas from retro sci fi series especially including star trek has been several times this one the other hand remains mostly as a one time triumph this among the episodes that impressed me the most towards the end br br another thing i like with this episode is how it has accomplished to create such and and captivating story with such few special affects now without the episode i must admit the effects are very dated but then again what can you expect from a tv show from 1967 but still the creature in this episode is basically just a carpet with some rubber on it yet you forget this after about 1 minute and you only start thinking about it as what it's supposed to be also the don't exactly look like rock but again you forget it after a few minutes this episode is a living proof on how good acting and a good story can make you ignore the visual effects br br the acting from the main cast is as usual great this episode features the series second mind by spock and is one of my favourites so to say it simple leonard is definitely a scene here and his acting is excellent not that kirk or bones don't get their share of the episode but spock is the most intriguing in this one i like the fact that the episode is not about one specific character but around the trio handling an alien problem also it's nice to see an episode who doesn't only happen on the enterprise br br like most star trek episodes this episode tells us to have an open mind i won't spoil the story but around what in the start seems like a typical monster story it has killed several humans and therefore must be killed but is that really all there is to it i can assure you that the explanation in the end will not disappoint you this is still my favourite star trek episode and i give it a 10 10,positive +only if you are crazy about smith should you see this besides her body there is pretty much nothing in terms of cinematic value she even has a lesbian scene in this one my guess is she is trying to into those late night scream queens ala shannon and julie strain,negative +a group of teens have their car break down in the middle of nowhere they seek shelter in a but three murderous are there killing the owner of said and his family one of them accidentally brings zombies around by knocking over a scarecrow cue blood gore carnage bad acting better than the first but only by i still wouldn't wish it on my arch enemy bob in the end the filmmaker wants it to be a about how we us americans are killing and our huh ok whatever buddy dude i'd rather chop down then have my and my grey matter out of my ears in other words become a simple minded idiot liberal br br my grade d,negative +awful awful awful show real world issues dealt with blatant stereotypes what the hell is going on with the african american black guys power awful awful awful awful awful show the fact that it lasted three seasons belief this show truly is for the brain dead of mediocrity br br saved by the bell almost seemed humorous compared to this well upon no it's of the same banal and therefore equally devoid of intelligence the only thing that it's missing so far is the jesus is god message the mentality and deliverance is the same yet somehow feels evil and soulless you can almost hear the tv executives buzz words at each other in fact i felt so at this shows existence i felt compelled to comment br br awful awful awful show,negative +i play final fantasy 7 and this movie is excellent like the game all fans of final fantasy will love this movie br br the music are fantastic and the history is good but the best of this movie is the visual effects are amazing the characters are equal to the game and that detail are good for the fans br br you don't need play the game to like this movie all the people can enjoy the film because the history is some different and is easy to understand i buy the dvd because is excellent is 100 if you don't see this film what you waiting for believe me you will like me,positive +this is without question the worst screen adaptation of a stephen king work if not the worst movie of all time this is an unbelievably horrible movie i fell asleep on this stinker several times and i wasn't tired i would rather shoot myself than sit through it again,negative +all i can say is that each time i see martin john i feel an sense of inspiration and in what the power of cinema is possible in such a simple film br br the motion picture is set in 1969 it is based on a true story it is a story about a white man jon voight who teaches a group of young black children how incredible the world is outside of their little south island br br the story places the job of a teacher as noble cause in changing children's lives br br i highly recommend it,positive +legendary pop star steve don't let the sun catch you crying stars as an unlikable stock car whose career has hit the ha ha because he constantly crashes his car or as he i'm tired of being run down by every grease monkey that gets behind the wheel he falls into a bad crowd of inept nazi named and er linda is the most likable of the bunch he took a to the back of the skull and now only through sort of a br br anyway steve is fooled by the cops into catching the crooks in the middle of one of their bank the gang only banks for kicks man i guess they give the money to charity steve fails constantly the get and the whole thing never comes off as daring because it's so dull this movie looks like it was filmed through a grease paper not since has a movie so my soul br br the guy who played went on to direct deranged the ed biopic starring robert br br anyway in summary wild rebels hilarious on mst3k dreadful everywhere else,negative +i saw this in the cinema during its initial release and can only ask has the world gone mad the seemingly overwhelming positive response is mind for this poorly written predictable trap br br elliot is no genius film maker as by the consistent bombs he has produced since check out to of the br br i can only assume making a film dealing with the gay culture has people assuming that to dislike the film is an offense to this of the aren't we smarter than that what about an interesting script and good performances ok so the 3 leads do alright considering what they have to work with but this film includes the worst performance by a child actor i have ever seen not helped by appalling dialogue and a really lame resolution that you can see a mile off br br this is a disappointing film and one that doesn't deserve the overblown reputation it has garnered,negative +horrible movie this movie beat out revenge of the living zombies for the worst movie i have ever suffered through what the were the morons who made this film thinking was it supposed to be scary because man let me tall you it wasn't it was so dumb it wasn't funny we all know that islands are the natural hunting grounds for killer and those stupid baby stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid fake snow and lousy actors oh and frost looks nothing like he does on the box do not waste your time rent it and destroy it,negative +an on screen informs us that it is 'the sea may a small at sea containing six from a prison ship and the doctor a lt claude de ross it's night a strange current takes the boat towards a strange and island the boat hits some rocks and is torn apart one of the prisoners is killed by what appears to be a slimy mutant fish man creature the next morning morning claude wakes up to find himself washed upon a beach he finds a pool of white water and one of the prisoners dead beside it claude warns another surviving prisoner jose franco not to drink the water as it will kill him they both eventually meet up with the other surviving prisoners peter and skip wanders off on his own to try and catch an animal for food he finds and kills a large water bird but in turn he is killed himself by one of the fish men claude jose peter and skip continue to explore the island as they put death down to an animal attack of some sort soon after skip is killed when he is on a spike at the bottom of a pit now only claude jose and peter are left they stumble across a cemetery with lots of empty graves and signs of recent black magic claude spots a snake on a nearby rock suddenly a shot is heard and the snakes head explodes a woman on named amanda marvin barbara bach is revealed to be she tells them to leave the island immediately as it is owned by a edmund richard johnson and he doesn't like claude jose and peter decide to carry on regardless eventually finding large house in which they are invited to stay that night peter goes after amanda and tries to rape her in a swamp peter quickly becomes food for the fish men and a voodoo called cunningham who lives with performs a black magic ritual involving the throat of a chicken at the cemetery the next day claude and jose decide they should leave the island as they feel very uneasy about and think he is lying to them jose rides off on and is lost claude is saved from one of the fish men by amanda and is again told to leave claude wants to confront again reveals that he has a scientist and father named professor ernest marvin joseph who he needs to be kept alive says that the longer ernest stays alive the chances of his own survival will dramatically increase tells claude his plan has found the lost city of atlantis at a depth of over 2 000 feet he is using the fish men as a means of getting at the lost of atlantis and needs amanda and her father to control them he claims the fish men are of the original inhabitants of atlantis offers claude a share of the treasure if he will help him keep ernest alive later claude remembers the name ernest marvin as a scientist who was condemned for experiments animal organs into human beings finding secret laboratory he discovers had to him and the fish men aren't their actually altered people turned into creatures by grotesque experiments has finally had enough of claude and decides to put an end to his by sticking him in a large tank and slowly filling it with water as the islands starts to and send flying everywhere wants to leave the island with his and amanda will claude escape almost certain death to save amanda and get off the island before the tears it apart directed by sergio martino i really liked this film that mixes various genres the script by sergio is fast paced interesting and entertaining the plot is revealed bit by bit which kept me interested in watching it all the way through i must say at this point that i've seen the original version and not the one with added scenes inserted for it's us release by roger corman barbara bach makes for an extremely attractive leading lady but i hated the way she was introduced by shooting a snakes head off i thought it was more than a little richard johnson makes a great villain and a likable hero the fish men themselves look a little fake when the camera on them too long but their cool looking and i've seen worse some of the effects look a little poor too but overall again i've again seen a lot worse there's no real gore violence or nudity in it but that didn't really bother me actually the photography by and the production design by combine to create a very nice looking film period costumes props and sets like house and lab with it's old scientific equipment the lush green jungle settings also add to the visual on show i really liked this film and i was entertained throughout it's running time i'm not sure who i'd recommend it too as it mixes various genres i guess someone who maybe something a little bit different and generally well made if you can find a copy give it a go i'm glad i did,positive +most awful casting i've ever seen clark kent as a crack head a very feminine looking woman as a and on and on br br stupid ass violence just for the sake of being violent no content no meaning this person has never been on the streets it's a joke br br the only thing dumber than this movie is the fact that i finished watching it i just kept thinking it couldn't get any worse but it did to the very end br br trying way to hard to be an off the hook movie trying to be freaky so stupid i really have no more to say but can't leave a comment unless i write more br br please take this advice and do not bother watching this movie awful,negative +i don't know if i'm wrong or everybody that says this movie is good are sincerely i just wanna do a favor to people that has doubts about seeing it renting it or even worse buying it don't do it really br br the trailers and very early previews might seem fun in some way or another but its not funny at all it gets to fall in a series of you're supposed to laugh here scenes that tend to get in really bad jokes bad very very bad acting tasteless scenes cheesy effects this movie has it all all wrong that is br br as final comment the movie would have been funny due to the basic concept but believe me is really way far from that,negative +once upon a time russell made a few halfway decent movies so i keep hoping that one of her efforts from the past decade or two will merit a rating of at least 6 or 7 out of 10 however dark world is just the latest in a string of the first 90 minutes are very hard to watch the lines are delivered by the lead actors as if they are being read at a first rehearsal or even a casting session in which the actors are doing it for the sake of their agents but do not really want the parts for which they are reading the sets and props seem off somehow what kind of a police department would allow a detective to have a whole living room wall full of case file the screen is constantly with meaningless time and which appear with no rhyme or reason now if the scriptwriter were standing here after the lights go up from a film fest screening they no doubt would crow about how all these shortcomings are really clever clues to the plot turning in this final five minutes well for those audience members whose only other movie experiences are tv the movie and dude they might be into their heads in but it is hard to believe that anyone who has seen 10 or more movies in their life and is not a close friend or relative of a dark world cast or crew member could fall for such a lame despite what the d v d box might lead you to believe this movie has about as much resemblance to sunset dead narrator device or hitchcock protagonist device as a jim bottle with has to booze,negative +shame shame shame on for what you do br br i was appalled br br do not take kids to see this movie the humor is totally inappropriate for children plus they'll be bored and disappointed certainly we all have read wonderful children book and certainly we have expectations but this is pure trash dr seuss would be ashamed and certainly would've never given his thumbs up at such a attempt to capitalize on a classic br br what a pity br br spend your money on the book if you own a copy then buy the book and it to a toys for program this movie is not worth a free ticket viewing br br stick with the book the tv cartoon version works well if you want a visual portrayal save your money seriously save your money it will be on cable by saint day br br shame shame shame on what they do,negative +this was by far one of the worst movies sandra has starred in ben affleck should stay behind the camera and continue writing scripts this is definitely his and acting is not i actually lasted minutes into this movie before i was so bored with it i felt compelled to leave the theater it's a bore from beginning to well minutes into the film anyway the premise of guess what happened to me on the way to the has been done over and over to death somehow there just doesn't seem to be anything funny or romantic about people cheating on each other parents should be aware that this may not be a suitable film for your teenage children especially ones that may view sandra as a hero there is a scene where the writers producers directors thought it would be nice to show how acceptable it is to smoke a joint while driving and then have no consequences at all when caught i'm no and i my share when i was younger but i guarantee you i won't take my teenagers to see it and they're solid a b students if you want to see a good sandra movie rent the net or hope which i believe are two of her best works,negative +i had this dvd to watch thinking that i would see a type of biography o painter but the movie was about everything but this movie is about a young woman taken away from her family by the holy allegedly because she jewish only because the poor girl did not like eating the rest of the movie is about torture driven by a poor script can't believe it is by as i could not believe this is directed by mr centered on a religious man and that young woman and that is all br br ah and there is i forgot playing a completely role that could be the role of john paul peter jose or anyone very disappointing one one these movies that will be forgotten for ever if it has not had happened yet rent the name of the rose if you want a movie about the holy and i don't know what you should rent if you want to watch a movie about spanish painter maybe a director of a good caliber not still needs to make it ps the spanish painter the title role who is lost in the plot is portrayed by a actor something that makes this film even more difficult to be taken seriously maybe next time we should send to play the biopic of norwegian painter,negative +let start off by first saying that i have been a punk fan most of my life i always kind of had a lack of respect for the la scene of the early 80's which the decline of western civilization documents with the exception of x and black flag being more of new york and english punk guy after i saw this movie that completely changed the people shown may look like a bunch of idiotic strung out kids who think they might accomplish something beyond street through their but it is a great display of at it's best coupled with some fun loud rock n roll one of the best scenes and actually most insightful is the interview with claude of catholic discipline or as he was known to slash magazine readers originally from france he about punk like a dirty old frenchman and clues in viewers to many aspects of the punk or attitude to music politics and life in general crash of the comes off as a complete idiot most of the time but the performance of is pretty decent complete with a young pat black performance with on it was filmed a couple of years before henry joined the band is decent and x and fear give the best performances in the movie look out for the interviews with the young punk kids you'll hear some of the funniest things you have ever heard in a documentary highly recommended,positive +i viewed the first two nights before coming to imdb looking for some actor info i saw the 9 rating which surprised me since i was not that impressed by what i'd seen as reference i happen to believe was the best tv western ever i grew up next to the mgm back lots in city in the 50s and have a certain sense of about the western genre br br so i saw the glowing first review and decided to read more there i found several reviews with 1 or 2 stars that summed up my feelings well about the lack of character development poor editing feeling that it was shot on the universal back lot is long gone and overall impression that it was not going to come close to changing my feelings about my impression is that the overwhelming vote of those who chose to write was less than a 4 0 br br this got me to wondering about the process that a 9 rating if the people giving the and do not take the time to justify their vote is the box being stuffed by people with a motivation i have long used imdb as one tool to screen movies and thought it the best available now i am not so sure,negative +as long as you keep in mind that the production of this movie was a and not intended as a serious release it is actually surprising how not absolutely horrible it is i even liked the theme music br br and if ever a flick cried out for a treatment by joel or mike and the mst3k this is it watch this with a bunch of smart ass wise and you're in for a good time have a up some large and enjoy br br of course a copy requires buying a or it as but if you're here on the imdb then you're most likely enough to do so good luck br br and look for my favorite part where dr doom informs the that they have 12 hours to with his wishes and he actually gestures the number 12 with his finger while doing so it's like evil street boy br br and of course mrs storm just look at you the four is just so heartwarming you'll laugh you'll cry br br so if you love sci fi this one's fantastic for you,negative +it me no end that now and forever i will have to identify this movie which i consider a masterpiece and i don't use that word lightly with the not the michael douglas movie not only are the titles the same but they refer to the same thing the that upon the survivors of the first nuclear in film this is no cheap metaphor the whole movie is about the physical and emotional from and the war itself as the of a couple and their grown niece becomes more clear the ironic imagery becomes more potent from the old clock that is each night to the stone gods that gradually pile up outside the door these in turn are by a veteran who is compelled in a series of episodes to attack anything with a that approaches the town the bombing day itself is shown in flashbacks that are horrifying yet black rain can be watched even repeatedly because of compassion for his characters i repeat a masterpiece,positive +this is one of the worst movies i've seen in my life if you're looking for a nice theatrical effect skip it and watch something else br br but if you're looking for camp value this is it here's my advice gather a few sarcastic friends and watch the movie strictly for the purpose of making fun of it,negative +some of the reviewers here have judged this silent film by political correctness standards of today br br battle was an excellent film for several reasons correctly noted by more rational reviewers superb cast lots of action innovative editing and photography br br its stars were in effect the d w griffith stock company and to this silent movie fan that is enough to watch it and to enjoy it br br i saw it many years ago and just watched it again at youtube that was a very poor quality print but coupled with my memory of a good print in a real theater i can recommend this to reasonable people and film historians,positive +i haven't seen this film for over 20 years but it had such an impact on me that i remember sitting through the credits and for several minutes after in complete awe this is one of the most underrated films of the entire decade in which it was originally released i just ordered a copy of it on dvd and paid for overnight and can't wait for it to arrive it is uplifting at times and also very dark and somewhat disturbing it's a story of a close band of regular kids growing up in the inner city and makes one feel as though they are actually sitting on the rather than watching on a movie screen or television hard to explain but it is something that must be experienced the story starts at childhood and tracks the lives of the four main characters through high school and as they on their separate in life the entire cast did an incredible job and it's by far the best work of career i'm hoping that the dvd lives up to my memory and plan on watching it this friday with a good friend,positive +i was going to use 'the german as a summary but that was already taken lol it sums up nicely provided you're not alien to reading subtitles fits in with the scream urban legend pack it's a teen horror set in a medical school where the students are going missing then turning up as experiment subjects in the lab cue one student investigating herself and a giant conspiracy br br provided you're watching the original german language film i can't comment on the dub having not seen the english edition is written and cleverly plotted so that the tension never really lets up in comparison to it's american counterparts the mystery is much faster meaning that instead of being a slasher right up until the final reveal during it's running time from a slasher come body horror movie into a smart and exciting thriller it's a gripping ride from start to finish br br hats off to the actors involved as well proves once more that she's an intelligent smart actress who can make any role come to life her central performance as paula is a great foundation for the movie to build from the spooky and their teachers pets are equally good a truly foreboding presence at all times br br it's also astounding that the movie doesn't drag much the pace is fast and very similar to the earlier urban legend meaning that there's always something going on to keep your attention high if there's one downside it could be that some will find too gruesome for them but if you through the first admittedly graphic sequences the latter half with it's exciting thriller overtones will reward you i recommend to anyone who enjoys a good teen horror but is a bit jaded with the american take on the matter,positive +br br there is something about seeing a movie in a good old fashioned movie house that adds enormous appeal to every picture i fortunately enough was able to see at film forum in new york city a pair of lubitsch comedies during their three week tribute to the legendary director the double feature i attended was a screening of 1938 comedy wife and the pre code classic design for living neither of which i had seen before everything i read of design for living praised the film but i could not find a good review anywhere for wife leonard disliked it too gave the comedy a low rating its imdb score was not and pauline not a great surprise the film in her review so when i went into the city that day i was expecting to enjoy wife only slightly and love design for living completely wife which was showing first began as the who the cinema took their seats and the thirties music presents and gary cooper in wife ' the title card read then the picture opened with a hilarious scene cooper wants to buy a pair of tops but he doesn't want any part of the he gets into a with the clerk who seeks the help of his higher bosses and their seems to be no end to the argument enter one of thirties most beautiful charming and talented personalities i'll take the bottom ' she kindly and there you have perhaps screwball comedies finest meet ever the film kept my interest wonderfully i found myself laughing almost constantly when discovers just before a family portrait is taken that her to be has been married seven times the entire theatre broke into when she for money immediately after she gets over her shock the laughs which still haven't and edward everett some hilarious reactions out of the script as well when cooper takes inspiration from shakespeare's the of the in his wife by her in the face i could not control my laughter when she slapped him back and the drunk scene with the is one of funniest comic scenes the greatest comic moment of the film came when a boxer to teach her husband a lesson ' in pure screwball fashion he knocks out the wrong man instead putting her friend david niven into a cold sleep he as cooper is arriving in order to cover up the situation herself in a moment of strong puts her fist up to niven asks where did that man hit you here right here right here ' and then knocks him out again the film was wonderful from beginning to end it was a perfect delight i loved design for living too though i dare say i think for sheer laughs and entertainment wife was the better and more enjoyable film there is some charm of seeing a vintage film on the large screen and in the presence of others laughing one feels more comfortable doing so himself that is perhaps why i felt the way i did about wife,positive +the movie opens with beautiful landscape shots of the countryside out from earth a train crossing fields of in the distance of clouds small by the side of the road a motel or a diner in the middle of nowhere over this plays a but mysterious twin peaks piano and it's all adequately moody and atmospheric in an american gothic sort of way through this however director jon keeps awkward frames of letters opening credits with annoying sounds color frames that blue numbers that count towards the 12 steps to a conclusion announced in the opening credits it's obvious by the first couple of minutes that though is more than capable to capture landscape and ambiance he doesn't care for it he has neither the affection for pacific open that does in and neither the time or of twin peaks david lynch to mystery and intrigue around a given location br br the rest of the movie is more jon frustration with experimental tricks that serve their own purpose the use of split screen is interesting i like in particular how we get the first image of ricky lee split in two one is childhood memories that matter only to him the other is and his head against the wall and over the course of the movie the second ricky lee the macho laid back with the shades who is hopelessly self involved and stupid on the other hand the stop motion animation and choice to play most of the movie in voice over narration does not work it does at times because writes as good as he shoots static shots of the american but beth monologues delivered in the most flat imaginable a voice that sounds like stephen computer speech program crossed with a horse are so grating to the ear it kind of the purpose of trying to pay attention br br each of the couple relate to us their past experiences their small and and doubts and past relationships that went nowhere they say very little to each other and what they say they say with blank faces but they like that seems to be their only channel of communication left open perhaps the only one they can trust with any safety clearly picks his main characters in among the naive and those by an american dream turned sour but he doesn't place himself above them he's not condescending or smug in his portrayal they may be misguided but they are with moments of humanity awkward though they may be we're called to empathize and show affection rather than point and laugh this is the most successful becomes the movie's characters come alive even when their faces do not even when gets in their way with his stilted framing and camera games br br then we go back to angry about the destructive effects of money played over an inserted shot of a dollar bill we get a weird psychedelic sequence where camera under big trees that soon turn red as beth ann repeatedly about the trees in the voice over we even get a sudden about turn towards plot and genre as the couple of beth ann and ricky lee losers with nowhere to go and nothing to hold them back to their dead end lives arrive in california and decide to rob a 7 11 the movie doesn't to an emotional in the aftermath of the 7 11 job such as one might expect from a on the road movie it slowly to a halt and you look out the window to see it hasn't really got in particular parts of the ride have been hypnotic and parts almost touching and funny but everything else has been mostly annoying,negative +the entire world by now knows that this is where says his immortal hold hands you but howard professor of music steals the show watch him dee green as she the voices of spring watch as he by a mirror suspended from the ceiling by a string watch him as he gets by christine watch him and you will laugh and learn moe is no either watch him as he attempts to a woman to sit on a bear trap larry as usual is the master of reaction all in all one of the very best shorts you won't find one weak moment,positive +this is one of the movies one has to start watching with an open mind one knows it's going to about a mute one could look forward to or be afraid for a lot of sentiment br br well forget it the movie starts with a little black humour and then gets started from then on its takes you on an ever frightening ride through the dark centers of all right it must be said the unexpected twists are expected and the mute is mainly used as a plot tool or fear but this movie doesn't let you go br br it's like the old gangster movies but then without any at all and in russia and that's one of the most important aspects of this movie it's in russia this does have a great impact on the movie according to me it makes it better everything becomes simple and basic life is without nonsense this could be a great potential for more movies in the future gangster movies about the russian mafia br br it is a and terrifying movie it's horror but you can't feel but sympathy for the little mute one last advice don't look this too late in the evening if you want to sleep well,positive +state is an interesting show for most i enjoy watching what the team has to say and what they find however i know that the entire show along with it's build ups and story lines are completely set up they go to real haunted locations and i suspect that they speak with actual witnesses i feel as i watch it that i am not watching non fiction but an actual movie that is to reality i personally would not advise or recommend anyone to watch this show unless you are a basic scare br br interesting show stick to ghost hunters,negative +this movie is one that belongs on the cutting room floor for one the opening sequence does not put forth the element of related subject if it wasn't supposed to then at least they got that part right secondly whats with all the to the left and then to the right they even do it in style nowhere have i witnessed a member from a rival crew walk up to a bar look for someone from the outside like he is all that and a bag o at a and walk away without even being confronted let alone get i wasted money on the rental price and am glad i did not purchase the dvd itself br br if this was made by college t a f e students then at least they gave it the old aussie try better luck next time,negative +the plot is very basic but acceptable a young us soldier having studied asian martial arts puts this to good use in of the daughter and falls in love with her unfortunately the three main acting soldier girl rebels combined iq amounts to 3 one point for the soldier one for the girl a large number of ninja fighters have to share the third point among them to be able to lose against the former two,negative +for the almost any andy film is a shock but despite the fact that i've seen many of his films this one still takes the cake for sheer br br this is of course take on the todd tale done with period costumes but not necessarily period in some cases and the usual headache inducing camera work grainy quality as for the gore well the version i saw may have been cut some for there's not a lot for a film with in the title the best indication of film making here is a meat pie only of some poor br br so while i will still treasure this piece of uh work on my video shelf it's definitely somewhat of a letdown as far as content though recommended for only the curious 3 out of 10,negative +terrible terrible terrible terrible did i mention terrible you can tell just by the dvd cover not to get this movie but unfortunately that wasn't the case for me well someone brought this home for me to watch and when i looked at it i just wanted to the person because they used my money i will certainly be taking it back soon but i might as well tell you about it while i have it in memory for i definitely want to forget it this movie doesn't deserve to even be called horrible it's beyond horrible quite possibly the worst film ever the acting was so so so so disgusting as well as the deaths being so entirely lame and predictable i didn't even laugh at how bad this movie was which kind of me a little don't see this film shame on you if you're even looking at this movie page and i have extreme pity for you if you're looking at this movie page because you think this will be decent final word,negative +i can laugh at just about anything but unfortunately there is not a single one to be found in this stink bomb i honestly watched this movie from beginning to end and did not even crack a smile i am shocked that sandler schneider spade etc would put their names on this piece of crap worse than the worst that ever came out of the worst that ever came out of former snl players what more can i say how could such tasteless extremely unfunny drivel come from such a pool of apparent talent maybe i have lost my sense of humor not likely but i cannot remember a movie that i have disliked this much in a long time what a waste of 2 hours i will never get back,negative +this is a gem as a film four production the anticipated quality was indeed delivered shot with great style that reminded me some errol morris films well arranged and simply gripping it's long yet horrifying to the point it's excruciating we know something bad happened one can guess by the lack of participation of a person in the interviews but we are compelled to see it a bit like a car accident in slow motion the story most aspects and unlike some documentaries did not try and from showing the sides of the stories as also dealing with the guilt of the people don left behind him wondering why they didn't stop him in time it took me a few hours to get out of the melancholy that me after seeing this very well made documentary,positive +talk about your wild life barely a b movie but what the corny sci fi and lesbian sex from the mind of writer and director cody a cheesy slice of fun a chemical company is waste that is causing mutants in a fish farm the hot russell stars as dr barbara michaels an agent sent to investigate this dilemma she just happens to enter a lesbian relationship with bartender and their love scenes are about as good as this film gets a man size frog chaos causing a car crash the chemical company daughter a girl under the at a football game stiff arm a runner in the football game a nun all before being shot twice in the chest after an was found all ready the special effects well not special a guy in a rubber frog costume without the to prove himself tough do you still want to watch it go ahead but any witness to,negative +another son of sam is definitely not an oscar winner technically it's horrible the acting is not too good either but there is something about it that makes you want to watch more sort of like a car wreck the ridiculous close ups of the killers eyes are more funny than anything if you are looking for a scare this ain't the flick for you it's very obscure and nearly impossible to find i'm sure there's a reason for that for a while it was titled hostage it don't matter what you call it it's still a poor choice for entertainment it might be good for a party or something can you believe they would use such a title as another son of sam if that don't have exploitation written all over it i'll eat my hat i remember when this was shot in a lot of local personalities were used as talent,negative +this is a thoroughly enjoyable well acted film it is funny and sometimes hilarious the finale is a bit disappointing since it tries to wrap everything up into too neat a package the film is better remembered for its priceless vignettes the jane austen staging the camping trip as examples b h does not attempt to mirror the attitudes toward homosexuality and most of the characters are quite accepting of sexual diversity in that sense it is a vacation from society and it is a celebration of a a of rigid sexual categories perhaps a happy of things to come,positive +knightley and miller stars in the story of two of the women in the life of dylan thomas knightley is sweetheart he re encounters during the meeting at a bar they however things become complicated when brings his wife miller along the next time he meets her the women hit it off and things proceed at pace until the trio are joined by the man who will become husband this further things as jealousy begins to show its face br br beautiful to look at extraordinarily written and wonderfully acted everyone disappears completely into their roles this is a feast for the eyes and the ears it's so nice to see a film about adults being adults on a purely visceral level i really enjoyed watching the film because the film is so artistically pleasing rarely have i ever seen a film that is this beautifully crafted br br the trouble with the film is i'm not entirely sure of everything that happened something seemed to be missing and a couple of times i had to replay the film to see if i missed something its not bad but its not completely satisfying as a result i tried to look up on line to see how much of the film is true but i couldn't find anything still i think this is a film worth seeing it's a beautiful film for adults with probably the best acting the leads have done,positive +everyone knows that late night movies aren't oscar fine i mean i'll admit that i was a bit and bored and figured i'd get to some skin a max it's pretty bad when the info on the tv guide channel makes fun of the movie in the description it even gave it half a star to be fair i did sit throw the whole thing cause man it was bad i couldn't stop laughing i mean the words coming out of these people mouth and how they were trying to be serious most of the time i think the people on the screen were trying their hardest to not to laugh in fact i think in one scene they did laugh anyways the movie didn't make sense it was like that one sopranos episode with the fat gay guy only the sopranos is great show but it was terrible i mean no nudity just sex scenes out of the 90's you know the kind that use shadows and instead of flesh i gave it a two cause this flick makes for a good drinking game movie i mean with all the cheese it helps to get the wine out if its late at night and all that is on tv is this and that tony little guy and his exercise bike then i suggest tony little,negative +how could this get a 6 0 rating are we as horror fans so used to horror films being so utterly bad these days that when one comes along that has some and i repeat redeeming we get much too excited and give a rating that is just a wee bit too high the director has a certain visual flair no doubt about that but in between some decent shots he forgot a good story mood or scares it had a very slow first act lazy killing annoying and flat characters and a very stupid and very unbelievable twist and what's with the portrayal of american teenagers in so many of these kinds of films do they always have to be this stupid irritating and so superficial i don't remember teens being like this when i grew up here in holland all things considered in can't give this film anything more that a 4 out of 10 rating,negative +br br this was an idiotic attempt to destroy classic source material and thoroughly succeeded br br do not see this film under any circumstances unless you wish to have your ten torn up and shoved up your by a bunch of vapid characters br br this type of film clearly illustrates the that still unfortunately directors and audiences if the individual heaven a collective could have conceived this behind this had been enough to watch the version currently playing in french cinemas he or she would have endured what i was forced to endure and mercifully it or just it altogether the vein of adult humour being here dates to my mind back to fritz the cat but lacks that film's avant garde status or even its base attempt at social commentary br br with the of remakes and increasing on pre existing source material to storytelling these days one would hope that choosing snow white and thus not having to worry about characters or a new story would have allowed more time for oh i don't know interesting animation smarter jokes perhaps a coherent film that has something to say and doesn't its from the opening frame br br a appalling production,negative +the net is an excellent movie it's about angela bennett in a great performance of sandra who is a computer expert who works for the company cleaning virus and testing games for the angela is a typical nerd who doesn't have friends outside of the almost doesn't take and go out and stays almost all the time connected one day her friend ray asks her to help him sending angela a with a strange program that has many at the same night when was going to meet her he is suddenly killed in a plane crash going to mexico in her vacation angela meets a beautiful guy called jack jeremy northam who shows to be a cold blood killer bastard and one of the guys behind all the secret of the br br her life then turns into a nightmare all her records are and she is given the new identity of ruth marx a woman with serious problems with the police br br this movie is great because it shows how we humans depend a lot of the computers and machines sometimes more that we should and how vulnerable we are if someday someone decides to control and change our personal records without letting us the chance to prove the error,positive +this was one of the shows that i wanted to follow up on but i'd just couldn't bring myself on my time to this show to have a show that centers on the topic of politics you really need a strong plot with twists and turns to enhance the mood of the show something like the west wing or commander in chief rob lowe was ok but actors like kyle chandler just couldn't act he was awful in early edition it was a pain to sit through this show with its lack of suspense urgency and characters who can actually act i just had to give up on this show and am glad it was canceled so i would have nothing more to miss br br grade d,negative +even though i tried to avoid german films recently positive reviews me into renting this one there i stand fooled again by german media which has been domestic flicks over and over again to me it is no wonder no one abroad wants to see this crap the idea to make this film is no idea at all i guess some fool read a women's magazine article about speed dating in short the characters which are none dialogue and content are so stunningly trivial trite and cliché ridden i continued watching because i could hardly believe what i saw btw to call the flat delivered by the figures certainly from the aforementioned magazines dialogue would be simply incorrect acting is so over the top i can't remember worse than that on screen in a long time you have to guess the director had has no clue at all amazingly and producers around the country are still wondering why german films with rare exceptions generate no interest world wide why because it's waste of time and money,negative +i think that vanessa is the best actor in the cast she makes sam one of the best character on the show james is also pretty good i love it when he worried about one of my favorite scenes in when ed and are beating the crap out of some guy that was funny cox is also good and she has great chemistry with josh lara flynn boyle was awesome in her guest role i wish they hadn't killed her off the show has a great cast with no bad actors which isn't something you often see on tv i still think vanessa is the best though she should have got an emmy in my opinion it's a shame the show was cancelled,positive +a washed up reporter called bart pat gang boss george for the money to pay for his son to have a life saving operation in return he agrees to turn himself in for the murder of his editor whom the gang killed in order to prevent an story being about them br br typical poverty row b of the time directed for far more than it's worth by fisher who within months of making this would become one of the leading british horror film directors at the hammer studio the script is far fetched and teen idol tommy steele guitar in hand was in to sing a poor rock and roll number called the rebel at a coffee bar that acts as a legitimate front for the activities,negative +a surprisingly great cartoon in the same league as batman and its i enjoyed it in my youth and recently had been able to watch them all again great voice acting from tim richard tony jay and maurice in various roles the only i had was rob voice seemed a little too old for the title character but that wasn't a big deal as the stories were great and the fact that the whole thing has a great time loop twist ending some people say it was a cop out but i found it refreshing compared to many series that just leave things hanging hopefully one day they put this series out on dvd unfortunately it came out at a time when dvd's weren't yet prevalent and the cartoon probably only served to sell a particular type of toy which i never found appealing despite the entertaining cartoon,positive +i feel dumber after watching the first 20 min luckily i walked out and saved the rest of my brain people should watch better films and take notes on why they are rated highly not because of the budget of the film or the special effects just simply good acting and getting simple things right and most importantly not being lame but i guess this was produced for those without taste and not a clue of what is good be scared of rating films low save your under appreciated high scores for in a life time keep in mind that many use imdb for trusted reviews and opinions don't spoil the by peace love,negative +i bought this movie just to see because i was really loving him but after seeing this i don't like him much i mean his acting was good and everything i guess but whenever it showed the totally unnecessary scenes i was just saying to myself alright we know you're a professional now can we get back to ryan and brandon really made the movie in my perspective br br i noticed that obviously and were both in but who was dating at the time anyways i actually enjoyed and i think it's really like no other movie i've ever seen it's sort of in it's own category,positive +why was this movie ever made they have the original with this crap i was only able to watch half of it and i didn't laugh once at least i didn't pay to see it because it was on t v but i won't get back that hour of my life that i spent watching this dreadful mess there wasn't one original star from the first except for chevy chase and he probably regrets doing this film jackie mason was supposed to be the outrageous funny like rodney was in the first but jackie mason wasn't funny at all jackie mason is no rodney if you want laugh watch the first if you like terrible movie's then this you're movie this movie stinks like a in july avoid at all cost,negative +the stunts sequences as well as the special effects are brilliant in this movie michael must be one of best stunt co of all time the explosion in the is a wonderful combination of stunts special effects and visual effects the director had an idea that the crew managed to create on film br br besides that donald sutherland makes one of his best performances in this film,positive +can the intensity of a husband's love for his wife lead him to cover up a crime despite betrayal on many levels tom is no brutal othello in the setting of modern day england so gradually a web of begins to be woven and we witness of jealousy and and guilt and and so the web of separate lies begins to fail and then hold together again and life and death goes on despite the bright flame of the husband's love and the deep despair and guilt woven into so many lives how many of are to be displayed in this growing the is to prop up sterling and careers and relationships in this most corner of the world gives an emotional performance full of grace and and and yet humanity of those who have much to hide those who desire clarity and on the way to justice will be disappointed with the of so much deception and yet who among us has not something similar to hide about his loved ones nevertheless the viewer may wonder if this web is to some day,positive +this is by far the most pathetic movie indian cinema or any cinema has come up with it is totally a piece of crap the story line not hold any water it is shameful that such a actor has to such a low on making such a movie the little respect he had is lost forever he should have retired longtime ago instead of making a fool of himself and all the self respect i would not recommend this movie to any one furthermore i would suggest that amitabh should already i wonder how imdb has given some to this movie there are no movies so horrible that any could be made seeing such movies as in the same line as this movie does a grave injustice to a decent movie its overall i could say shameless,negative +oh good grief br br i saw this movie title in the tv and thought i must watch this movie ripping off snakes on a plane it will be terrible but hopefully laughable too sounds fantastically bad well i was half right br br this movie is eye bad and sadly not even unintentionally hilarious it's just bad even worse it takes almost an hour to get to anything resembling action for the first half of the movie we have to endure some foreign language mexican or spanish apologies for my ignorance and terrible acting as some woman up live snakes for reasons we only find out later on then we have to endure even more terrible acting and we find out that those in the foreign language could speak english anyway as the snakes finally get loose on the train and things move from the to the ridiculous br br low budget does not always mean bad but in this case it does what we have here is a movie given no thought a terrible script a bad cast and not even the sense to on it's very few strengths i give two marks for a few decent special effects and a ending but that still feels a bit too generous avoid if you can br br see this if you like the wicker man remake terrible cgi,negative +this show drives me crazy it goes against everything a family should be even if it is intended to be a comedy the show is suppose to follow dave and gold michael and anita as they raise their three teenage children larry and mike a good premises for a comedy yes but it does not mean it will be a good show br br i don't think i've ever heard talk from parents to children and vice versa the only talk that seems to be in the show is control of children by the parents and sex i know that sexual is usually a subject talked about by teenagers often but it is brought up in nearly every episode with no point to it the one episode i was just watching involved the parents giving their daughter a car not once do you think they are related in anyway by the way they talk to each other and how the parents talk about how is like their slave br br the show fails on the comedy level the most i haven't laughed at this show once in the numerous times i have attempted to watch it and i'm a person who gave such films as animal house and dumb and dumber very high marks michael is a very good actor and why he choose to ruin his career by making this piece of filth show is beyond me br br parents make sure your children never and i mean never watch this teenagers you'll probably get a laugh out of this just for the blatant sexual references but nothing comes out of it and afterwards you feel rather empty br br 1 1 2 5 stars,negative +how good is this film apparently good enough that they plan to remake it in jean pierre who gave us le and the good thief wrote and directed this film br br the film is almost a silent these are men of few words to let their actions speak for them they live by a code that their every move br br there are some great actors in this film the jean de let's make love and maria el from a of dollars a few dollars more the film does not shine on them they are along for the ride that has for them makes the film they make it better br br you see work in the ocean films but they just get the idea the can't make it work like he did a great loss in the seventies but his work remains for our pleasure,positive +when i saw gone with the wind i thought that there could not be better actors than vivian leigh and clark gable to play scarlett and but then i saw the movie scarlet i fell in love for this dramatic story i love timothy dalton as butler he's fantastic this is a movie i could watch a thousand times and it still wouldn't bore me,positive +i'm not really a t v watcher except between the ages of 6 and 8 and general hospital still had luke and laura but there are a few exceptions and i definitely think that king of queens is one of them every decade has it's classics and i think that this show will or damn well should be amongst this best its comedic timing is awesome and can at times be down right odd on a more note the actors more than succeed in conveying subtle and not so subtle in their characters without getting too hokey one wrote that it may take a couple of episodes to get into it and i agree it's definitely one that kind of grows on you but once you're in you're pretty much hooked and with good reason,positive +i love the so called films and have seen dozens some such as comes to harlem and hammer have excellent production values and are very entertaining while many others are very cheap and silly but still entertaining such as of death or however manages something rare for the genre it's just cheap and silly and not the least bit entertaining it's like made for very very stupid people br br years ago i saw a on the films on mad tv and unfortunately the real isn't any better like the parody the acting is just atrocious ray moore has all the charm and charisma of a piece of wood he can barely read his lines and his karate is a joke with his kicks obviously missing the target again and again as for the rest of the actors many might be even worse my favorite was the fbi guy who couldn't even remember his lines and really to get them out yet they didn't even bother to re film these scenes in fact so much of it was inept that i had a hard time out whether the film was intended as a joke br br if you think that despite horrible acting and action that there is something worth seeing about this film you're wrong even for the out there hoping to see some skin will be disappointed the naked women in the film really do look like hard luck prostitutes and there's nothing remotely sexy about their bodies i think looking at old people naked old people naked is no worse than looking at these ladies and as for ray he has man boobs no black super hero or anti hero should look that bad naked for goodness put on your clothes people and come up with a script that doesn't look like it was written by br br apparently there are actually sequels to this film i can't imagine watching them so you'll just have to find someone else to review them i have watched plan 9 from outer space teenagers from outer space and robot monster but i just don't think i can bring myself to see another film they are that bad,negative +as i've from film to film at the film festival this film from the opening night has stayed with me curious because it is a dark comedy with quite an premise br br a family of hyper in a small community of like minds is changed by an auto accident three of the four have the same near death experience in which they are fully opened as each receives a of the concept of original sin i won't spoil this scene with the the fourth a middle school is not just the only one physically hurt but also is and is now witness to what has become her crazy apparently family every new moment brings a new as they have become naked and frank in every way horrifying her and then the community br br the has the most beautiful sexual scene between a husband and wife that i have ever seen to the sarah song deliver me a song that can now bring tears to my eyes br br the cast is terrific robertson dean as the dad vince as the son and as the daughter are excellent plays peggy the mom's questioning neighbor and best friend perfectly a much more nuanced fleshed out real character than what might have been everyone in middle america knows a peggy and willis positively as betty the mom there are lots of risks taken by the actors playing the three changed characters and these risks pay off br br i hope this film gets a wide release if so i plan to see it again br br very accurate review at http www com phil,positive +i didn't know what to expect from this hugely popular and hilarious swedish comedy satire team as they released their first feature film more broad satire well we do get four contemporary exceptionally memorable tales of family pains generation gaps and in particular but it's drama thankfully and what drama epic in its scope as each episode is from carefully picked different parts of sweden but each story could seriously carry a whole movie if expanded br br it's dark twisted harrowing yet entertaining and executed script acting and cinematography are absolute world class as three hours seem to get by in a blink it's four shades of and easily one of the best films in the cinema history it's answer to short cuts or if you like and instantly on par with those br br 9 out of 10 from,positive +it plays like your usual teenage audience t a movie but the sentiment is incredibly bleak if it was made today it'd be considered an art house movie it goes through the usual routine of a guy trying to get laid but the results of his efforts are harsh and cruel and unsatisfying br br the whole teen flick formula is to but nothing turns out the way you'd expect imagine a director's cut of a wonderful where at the end james stewart wasn't allowed to return to the real world an incredible film that all of the expectations of the genre it makes you feel dirty afterwards there is no redemption for the characters i'm amazed it ever got made the eighties version of detective story,positive +of so many excellent and so on in one particularly out of them all me so thoroughly that it ends up being the terrific moment of the movie for me br br or at least the one that tends to drive people to see the film the disc in hand for emphasis br br the existing vague abstract of the fairly simple and guilt involved in the guilty pleasure of this may truly and me into paying the intellectual bill eventually br br till then br br the demise of the was so right on,positive +this is the worst film i have ever seen so bad it is astonishing i am glad that i have never seen that black sidekick in any other film ok it wasn't his fault that someone gave him those lines but he could have refused the role and tried to learn how to act instead how did anyone get the money to put this film together is there some corporation in hollywood that deals with trash for male college students with no brain oh yeah they will love this one it's got no believable plot some movements chuck norris a black sidekick with bad corny lines a sweet little israeli or is he an arab or does anyone care boy and the devil brilliant and many thanks to all concerned for the human race,negative +don't see this movie it's repulsive the start is indeed very good but in the middle everything falls and i really regret spending 80 about 11 dollars on the ticket peter should consider this as his last chance to gain peoples interest awful picture the only bright spot is the splendid work of robert lena and br br hope you take my advise the picture is rubbish,negative +i haven't seen many movies worse than this one the story line the dialogues the acting it's horror the story just jumps from a to b to c without any logical steps in between every time you think you've missed something but no that was the way it was intended to be and why on earth is the character that jenny portrays so in love with that no no loser guy who actually now plays in the movie cinderella man with crow o well it's no spielberg of course i have to write ten lines to get posted this movie really isn't inspiring enough to write 10 lines it's a romantic feel good movie with a lousy story so if you're up for that you'll have a ball,negative +at times the mainstream news media seems to be driven by a bunch of no brain in that they just listen to each other and report what others report br br this documentary shows what can be found if some more effort is put into the task of about something br br true should be about providing the people with different perspectives on things that happen so that they have a fair chance of creating an own opinion br br this documentary together with mainstream media reports will help you with this at least for me it provided a lot of relevant information regarding the purpose motivation behind the nowadays frequent world wide at different political,positive +this film did a wonderful job of capturing nyc stereotypes at there best if you want a simple cute story however you won't find it here the related tales are woven together in a manner that does an excellent job of capturing the close yet anonymous lifestyle that is manhattan a perfect watch for those who enjoy and can laugh at new york life in its most natural state,positive +it is 1969 belle is an 11 year old girl growing up with an vision of her 19 year old sister faith cameron diaz faith is the the truth the of all the in the world then one day and her mother receive word that faith is dead faith has killed herself both and are overwhelmed by this news and although can't let it go decides to go to europe and find out what happened br br it is now 1977 is 18 and decides to go to europe over the of her mother to discover the truth when alive faith was from a man she called wolf christopher though wolf claimed not to know anything about last days convinces him to tell her everything within days wolf realizes that he hadn't let go of the past either and he joins on her to br br in the end wolf is able to tell of decent into drug abuse and his own guilt at not the suicide although angry realizes in the end how human and fragile faith really was br br i liked this movie i'm old enough to remember the bank of the red army and i was 10 in 1969 this story was familiar ground for me i can still remember young men trying to decide if they should go to canada or not to avoid the draft br br the story is simple but probably occurred several times in real life during that period belle was enjoyable and fun to watch as she portrayed the young sister excited by what was happening around her easily into the role of the older was the ever supportive mother a role she is all too familiar with on american tv unfortunately i would have liked to see her with stronger material to work with cameron diaz played the immature perfectly though at times her performance of a 1960s seemed to come off a news reel of all the characters it was christopher wolf that made the most growth when we are introduced to the character at the beginning of the movie we can see he is a man he is a patient and kind man filled with anger at the world's in the end he realizes the direction he and faith are headed is wrong and begins to grow up deciding he should fight against injustice in his own way faith refuses to join him in this and it eventually leads to her death wolf is the most real of all the characters br br i recommend this movie it was enjoyable and thought provoking the invisible circus is rated tv ma but there is very little sex or violence in it the subject of the movie is the reason for the rating,positive +if b movies tired and corny scripts and golf dressed up as some sort of futuristic mode of transport are your sort of entertainment you'll probably enjoy this otherwise forget it the topless though completely irrelevant did give a few seconds of amusement,negative +when i bought this film i expected to get a fun 1970's exploitation film instead i got this bore fest by amateur auteur andy ah andy with his tight editing pacing and wonderfully well known actors you'd almost think you're watching one of his home movies seriously i couldn't even stay awake the first time i tried to watch it the scenes of boring people dragged on an on and whenever someone got killed the film would slow down sometimes it would speed up too making the characters voices sound like which was probably the best thing about this film the script actually seemed a bit better than the film and seems more well suited to be in a soap opera than in a grainy 70's sleeping where the actors constantly stumble over it's lines the cover said their prime cuts were curiously erotic but thoroughly brutal trust me there is nothing erotic about this film oh we do get to see characters that resemble extra cheese making out but that's about it and as far as brutal well the viewer is the most with this here film and another thing,negative +one of the worst movies i've seen this year everything about the film screams amateur for a movie set in the everybody speaks like it's the 1990's the acting particularly the people playing the white slave masters is horrible after about an hour into this movie i walked out what a waste of time and effort for a much better film on this subject see steven spielberg's far superior,negative +mom begins at night in the middle of nowhere at what looks like a wooden building in the desert a pick up truck pulls up an angry father his daughter virginia monroe christian out leaves her there but she isn't alone as the shadowy figure of james watches her from a short distance virginia tries to make conversation but as she a cigarette out under her print high high boots grabs her by her throat drags her off into the darkness then rips her top open turns into a monster starts to eat her virginia is the latest victim of a serial killer that have lieutenant art evans the or at least that's the message a local tv news reporter named clay mark thomas miller is telling his viewers clay is happily living with his pregnant girlfriend alice mary beth therefore his mother emily bates has a spare room going which she decides to rent out to the dark wearing unfortunately for emily she accidentally knocks off which reveal he has strange eyes then turns into a monster again bites emily turning her into a flesh eating monster just like himself takes emily out to train her they find a suitable homeless bum murder him eat his guts but son clay has witnessed the whole thing he must choose between doing what is right his love for his mother who now just happens to be a grotesque flesh eating monster br br edited written directed by patrick i thought mom was a pretty awful film looking at some of the other comments on the imdb the genre listing it has been given it appears many seem to think that mom is a comedy horror well i can tell you now that i didn't see any comedic elements in mom at all because there aren't any unless they are very subtle the only thing that i can assume is that people see comedy in the actual situation which mom presents that being an old lady turning into a flesh eating monster the predictable problems emotional angst that it causes to her son who finds out there are no jokes apart from a prostitute beverly hills stella stevens slapstick humour or anything even remotely funny in the film itself as far as i could see it is played totally straight throughout it's 90 minute run time so with there being no comedy in mom that must mean there's lots of horror right wrong mom sucks is painfully slow to watch especially after the first thirty odd minutes which consist of turning into a monster a couple of times biting emily showing her how to hunt for food clay finding out until this point mom was moving at a fairly decent pace had some ok special make up effects had me interested unfortunately mom runs for another hour which is basically the emotional crap suffered by son the eventual breakdown of his marriage him being torn between love for his mother the fact that she's a flesh eating monster this part of the film is incredibly slow boring as dull as even having the nerve to resort to a clichéd role scenario where clay tells his mom to go to her room stay there the door behind her telling her off putting bars over her window so she can't escape her room mom's script totally ignores the monsters origins us to just accept that this thing exists without giving a single reason why we should no matter how silly an explanation might have been i think some background to the monster would have helped technically mom is bland cheap looking although i can't say it's badly made it's very average stuff all the way with nothing that particularly or anything with which i could make fun of to pass the time the special make up on the monster are ok but their used in very quick flashes blink you'll miss them don't be fooled by any fancy video box artwork like i was the monster is only in it three times maximum all of those are within the first thirty minutes there isn't much gore either a severed arm some brief eating a burnt body a in someone's arm is all we get the acting is ok but please mr james what is that dodgy accent all about at least james had the good sense to know he was in crap to be killed off early on in the proceedings everyone else are expect the black lieutenant who was also a black police officer in fright night 1985 but you may him from die hard 2 1990 he made mom die hard 2 in the same year talk about opposite ends of the spectrum overall there is nothing by which i can really recommend mom as a horror film it certainly isn't a comedy as far as i'm concerned very poor very disappointing yet again i've been by fancy video box artwork with lots of stills of cool looking monsters definitely one to avoid,negative +imagine this br br whenever two people meet in this movie one of them is shot the plot just does not exist it appears that someone shot some action sequences and then tried to put them together to make a movie out of it if you decide to watch it you will regret it,negative +i have just seen today you die it is bad almost very bad br br 1 the direction and editing are awful just awful almost made me turn off the movie the director has no idea what he is doing he seems to be filming things at random and some scenes don't make sense at all also i hate it when the same scene is used again in the same movie in this movie some scenes were used 3 or 4 times pretty bad br br 2 the dialogue is sometimes good sometimes awful i like the fact that they wanted to make character and character seem like they were in a similar relationship to the characters in lethal weapon but it did not work simply because some of the dialogue did not make sense and i speak english very well it's not that i did not understand the words it was the fact that the jokes and dialogue lines had no meaning whatsoever br br 3 the script is pretty bad why do they always try to action movies wife in the movie has psychic abilities why is it useful to the movie no seagal a whole bunch of people who work for the guy who betrayed him and he knows these people without having ever met them in the movie stupid the story sometimes goes off track and the jumps back without any reason the story is messy and pointless sometimes they should have kept it simple and it would have worked br br 4 in some of the action scenes it is not seagal it is his stunt double you can tell because they only film him from behind and never show his face he also beats the guys with movie martial arts not real ones like the steven knows the stunt double uses cheesy kicks and punches br br 5 steven is good in the movie 90 95 of the lines are said with his real voice the rest is dubbing but it is not that bad this was good also steven seems to be enjoying himself in the movie and is more into the action that he was in he likes as a partner at least he does not seem to dislike him also he seems to have been in better shape than in some of his recent movies i hate the fact that he wears clothes to hide his body but in the same clothes that he wears on the dvd cover he looks more than ok and he should have wore those clothes for most of the movie not the stupid long leather coat br br i really think that seagal was willing to make a good movie the fact that he came late and took off early from the set on two movies directed by does not look like a coincidence to me i think he realized that the crew were amateurs or only in it for a quick buck and he did not give a damn anymore br br in the hands of a better company and crew this might have been a damn good action movie for seagal something like out for justice or above the law i honestly believe that but the people who made the movie are not very good at their jobs or they did not have enough money to do the job properly too bad since i liked steven in the movie and was cool ice cool too but the rest was bad hey at least this gives me hope for black dawn and shadows of the past i think that might be just as badly handled but hey steven seemed to be back into the same mood he was in while making his better movies and at least that is reason enough to watch the movie br br i liked it but it could have been so much better 4 10,negative +i supposed gone is a dull slasher flick yes it have some good point but it's a rehash from another flick the acts is so awful nor the plot br br the story goes from a legend about a living scarecrow on the when an become a prank and cause the life a boy in the scarecrow comes alive and start a killing frenzy sound familiar right it's derived from scream friday children of the corn you name it br br gone is so below average film barely have a scary moment even the final scene is laughable sadly we still could enjoy it as our time killer but i prefer you to watch something else instead unless you're a big fan bad and cheesy movies off course br br 4 10,negative +it is really a shame that imdb doesn't let you give negative votes this is the most awful show ever on the american public by our usually likable neighbors to the north the parents are a and a neurotic he is as charming as a well used fire with the same standards she is a wax museum with more than the entire cast of the view the kids are non if female and repulsive beyond belief if male especially the title character the boy is a serious for most insanely smug self satisfied arrogant and vain male character on disney which is saying something this show was obviously conceived as the anti brady bunch but it comes off as the anti christ and why is the photography so dark,negative +living in and have a great for history i was very put off by the taken wrong breed of dog for a start owner old jock was an old single man who came to and died a in not like in the film at all for anyone coming to and hoping to see sights of the film you will not find the graveyard in st gardens there were a few moments were a would have been great the actors were fantastic at padding out a rather flimsy script i don't feel the poor wee bobby actually got enough screen time possibly due to being lost at one point all that said the film was fine and any 8 old will enjoy,negative +i have seen this movie about 50 times already and it doesn't look like i am ever going to get bored of it i always watch it with my best friend and it has become sort of a tradition for us now to watch it almost every month every single time we see this movie we both get really emotional and we laugh and cry in front of the tv together and sing all the songs in a loud voice and in the end we always dance by now we practically know even the whole dialog by heart and watching the film feels like seeing our own old friends on tv br br this film is perfect even though i have to admit that the story itself is a bit cheesy but the characters the dance the music and even the place where it all takes place make you forget all about it and you start believing that things like that really do happen and that the song all you need is love actually has some kind of a meaning br br i am really a normal person and not too serious about this comment of mine but i just cant wait until the next time we'll be able to see dirty dancing,positive +there are moments when you don't want those deep drama series when you don't want series with heavy stories or a must to watch every single episode to be able to hang on there are moments when you just want to watch a simple series with lots of action and cool characters for those moments you have br br i was one of those who actually enjoyed charlie's angels critics said it was to superficial and silly but the thing is that's the point people who can't relax and expected a serious movie hated it it's exactly the same with it is superficial it has silly and unrealistic characters and that's why i like it it isn't like any other series br br the first season wasn't very good the character was irritating and a little too much the story was a little lame and you didn't get to know the characters very much but hey they only had 20 minutes in every episode br br in the last 5 6 episodes of they finally gave the series full 40 minutes length and it was here i started to love it the series finally started to grow into a very series too bad they had to the series because the last episodes of actually was very good i will never forget and unique characters that only the creators of could have created,positive +first of all i hate those moronic who act if they had a gun pressed against their all they do is curse and shoot each other and acting like version of gangsters br br the movie doesn't take more than five minutes to explain what is going on before we're already at the warehouse there is not a single sympathetic character in this movie except for the homeless guy who is also the only one with half a brain br br bill paxton and william are both hill and character is just as much a villain as the gangsters i like him right from the start br br the movie is filled with pointless violence and walter hills people falling through windows with glass flying everywhere there is pretty much no plot and it is a big problem when you root for no one everybody dies except from paxton and the homeless guy and everybody get what they deserve br br the only two black people that can act is the homeless guy and the but they're actors by profession not annoying ugly brain dead br br stay away from this crap and watch 48 hours 1 and 2 instead at they have characters you care about a sense of humor and nothing but real actors in the cast,negative +a brilliant professor and his sidekick journey to the center of the earth in a huge machine which its way to the core there naturally they find all kinds of things that are intent on killing and eating them plus of course a love interest for the young sidekick ho hum does the plot never take a different,negative +hands of the br br aspect ratio 1 85 1 br br sound format br br an doctor eric porter uses analysis on a young girl who turns out to be the daughter of jack the and just as deadly br br unlikely hammer horror in which a respectable society figure takes charge of a beautiful young without so much as a of scandal even when she takes to murdering all and with a variety of lethal broken mirrors hat etc l w screenplay wanders from one murder to another the inherent subtext obvious attraction to in favor of commercial melodrama and the tone remains subdued throughout some of the gore scenes are surprisingly vivid even for hammer and these were from the original us release despite an r rating from the mpaa though the complete version is now available on home video porter and give excellent performances and the climax in st paul's is a definite highlight but the rest of the film is strangely hollow and directed by peter,negative +i saw this movie and thought it was a sleeper sometimes i can get into intellectual romantic movies this movie just did not move me i felt like it was about one hour too long is portrayed as a very sympathetic who loses just about everything i thought the whole movie was just sad and if you like you might like this i just thought it was too long which meant it has many unnecessary scenes which ultimately lead to about one hour of boredom i would not recommend this movie if you want to see a good romantic tragedy go watch titanic,negative +the idea of young girl who gets pregnant at the age of 16 is nothing new to the drama genre but it is pretty new if you take a look at the comedy genre there is this basic plot of and mother and daughter comes from a wealthy background got pregnant with 16 and ran away from her parents' house at 17 but this series does not start there it starts when is 16 and everything is just about the problems of a single mother who has terrible problems with her parents and about all those problems you have when you are 16 br br okay now again this sounds pretty normal but there is this little thing called joke the girls talk incredibly fast and they make like 60 jokes a minute even if you don't understand all of the jokes since they contain hundreds of references to films music history literature and politics sometimes you even get confused but that really is the fun and not only it is fast it's smart and wonderfully sarcastic in addition to that it is not only funny it has great drama parts in it and you can take some lessons from it even home which is a thing that does not go for every single tv series br br so watch it it'll your mood and help you through hard decisions,positive +this is a very enjoyable glamorous musical from the 40's made rita hayworth the dark haired latin into a all american star it confirmed gene kelly's amazing talent as a dancer singer actor and choreographer it the and colour of the musical genre br br rita hayworth is great as rusty parker it is her picture and her presence is always at the her singing is dubbed but her dancing is absolutely brilliant and she combines very well with kelly i think that rita was highly underrated as an actress she plays every scene superbly here gene choreographed the dance sequences he was basically given almost complete creative freedom here and his dance number is amazing such artistry the stand out tunes are way for me to the and of course ago and far the plot is rather thin yet it does have a moral it's about the of quick fame and fast money and how any happiness with only these factors will ultimately be doomed this will cheer you up lift you up to your feet and make you laugh br br that said is not the greatest musical ever produced it has a number of flaws that must be addressed one can say that a little bit of phil goes a long way his character gets tedious rather quickly however i was impressed with his dancing ability and how he was able to keep up with gene and rita another major problem is that too many songs are just not that great the number looks fantastic but i'm not a fan of the lyrics or the singing is a huge i think it's one of the worst numbers i've heard in a 40's 50's musical yet it stinks the grandmother sub plot borders on being ridiculous but that's only my opinion others may like these elements br br still apart from it's faults it's a very very good film much better than most of the product out today the dancing and singing is sublime the production values are excellent and it's mood is br br 8 10,positive +if you are ever in the mood for a truly terrible film it would be hard to find something that could even compare to this i have spent a lot of time watching a lot of terrible movies just for the sheer joy i get from it and man this is one of the worst this movie was so bad i had to buy the third online that one wasn't as bad which is amazing since it was straight to video this is one of those films that is hard to comprehend how it was made in the first place i mean someone had to actually have read the script or many scripts i'm sure they made several and said yeah that's it here's some money actually they probably just wanted to make a 2 before they even had a script then went with whatever they had horrible so if you are a fan of really bad movies watch this one it is a true classic and film doesn't get much worse than this and if it does please let me know,negative +my first thoughts on this film were of using science fiction as a bad way to show naked women not a brilliant story line it had quite a good ending,negative +i nearly fell asleep during a screening of this of a boring story that seems to go on forever it follows several days in the life of a male prostitute who falls in love with one of his tricks after a affair the trick leaves a long letter explaining why they cannot be together and how they must go on their separate ways br br the male prostitute then goes on a self destructive spiral trying to find his one true love repeatedly returning to the same places they looking for more clues or signs as to where he may locate his love br br in the meanwhile he up with one ugly guy who i thought was also a male prostitute a gay and some guy who ends up having a three second sexual session with him in a back alley br br it never to me how films still portray random sex acts as scenes that can take place in a brief matter of seconds such as in this case where the trick barely has his pants before three times and miraculously experiencing br br all of these random encounters end with the sexual partner asking him to call them to which he their numbers br br there is a brief side plot involving the main character visiting his busy mother who seems to have no time for his lifestyle there is also another brief side plot involving some random conversation with a young woman who has noticed him several times standing on the bridge from her window and there is also one more brief side plot involving him showing the letter to a male but the audience is not advised of his relation to this person br br none of these things really connect with each other only to show us how lost and confused this young man really is he seems to be living life like a ghost there was one good scene in the entire movie that involved him through a yard sale looking for a particular record with the world's saddest song on it br br otherwise this movie just seems to go on forever filmed in black and white it may seem very but sitting in the theater for nearly two hours watching this drivel will resemble something more like a nightmare br br i found the ending to be confusing as i wasn't quite sure whether the young man had died and gone to heaven that would have been a nice pay off to end the misery that both audience and the main character had to endure in this meaningless tripe but seeing as this is an independent film movies with endings like these are supposed to encourage you to use your imagination br br for those of you who are seeking out nudity there are only brief scenes and most of them are filmed in such a way that anything suggestive are within the shadows in other words don't waste your time with this one br br my rating 2 out of 10,negative +it would seem a given but if a viewer forgets context he risks missing an opportunity of enjoyment br br it is easy to from the heights of the 21st century at styles and of the great depression years but the intelligent viewer will remember that magic word context and better understand and thus enjoy will happen br br among the actors ronald reagan again showed himself a good looking and guy and again gave a right on performance br br a reviewer earlier said gloria blondell played the nasty wife but that was wrong she plays the stand clerk who has a crush on the reagan character eric but keeps hands off as long as he is married br br gloria was cute not as beautiful as her sister joan she was still attractive and a good actress perhaps her looking somewhat like joan was a to having a more successful career and it is certainly our loss br br sheila was mrs and played it well br br other actors included dick and the great earl got to play something besides a villainous cowboy br br again most of the players never the household name status many of them deserved but they by gosh gave good performances here in a story that is still current,positive +am not from america i usually watch this show on channel i don't know why this respected channel air such sucking program in prime time creation of hollywood's money bank jerry bruckheimer this time he is spending a big load of cash in the small screen in each episode a bunch of peoples having two team members travels from on country to another for a great sum of money where the camera shoot their travels i don't know who the hell gave this stupid idea for the show it has nothing to watch for in all episodes we see people ran like some times shouting crying jerky camera works huh it's to both eyes and ears the most disgusting part in the race is the viewers finally knows each of the team members can't enjoy their race traveling experience even though to add up the ratings the producers came up with the ideas of including gays in one shows sucking american reality show br br it's nothing to watch for better switch to another channels br br the amazing race the disgusting show,negative +this movie was cheesy and it was more than that it was about this guy who gets a curse on him and he turns into a gorilla i had to see how bad it was because of the title before this guy turns into a gorilla he gets married i was a little upset because she wasn't a bride of a gorilla she is now the wife of the gorilla she should have married him when he was a gorilla then the title would have made more sense there are all these people in the middle of the jungle too and they all want to leave this isn't just a b movie it's more like a z movie i didn't even see any for a wedding gift oh right he wasn't cursed yet,negative +this movie started out confusing and grew into one of the best movies i have seen the acting was utterly superb and when i wasn't my tears i enjoyed meryl streep who's performance was extraordinary the movie deals with the of a distant family with a mother who develops cancer the movie was very difficult to watch and heartbreaking the soundtrack fits this movie to a bette midler out of 5 stars i give this one 4 1 2,positive +i have a little of finding really cool out there that are pretty much unknown and then letting people know about them this one is on top of my list for getting the word out this summer this indie film and i really mean indie not fox indie might be easy to overlook in the big of celluloid but if you want something completely different you have to check this one out br br basically i thought it was totally great i should have known from the dvd cover front and back that this was going to be something totally different but they all say that their stuff is different to hook you well this one really is totally different it's in your face beautiful and scary and to tell you to wake up war peace 9 11 poetry even a eerie sort of music video set to an old time patriotic song and a weird guy in an need i say more just see it,positive +when i first saw this film it was not an impressive one now that i have seen it again with some friends on dvd they had not viewed it on the silver screen my opinion remains the same the subject matter is and the performances are weak,negative +blew my mind the first time i saw it and it's held up quite well over the years the sets and monster effects work are some of the best i've ever seen nobody i know seems to have seen this film which i believe at the box office because of the lack of interest in horror in the early nineties it plays like a dark horrific fairy tale and is a lot deeper then you'd think with a strong message against presented by a rich mystical past that clive barker created what sucks is the film ends on a really cool sequel note that we'll probably never see my only minor is that craig is only a passable actor at best and the the project might have with a better actor in the part just a minor complaint though as does alright i had a similar issue with scott in lord of not really a terrible performance but i just didn't like him in the role as much as i would have other people,positive +ok now at first i thought this was going to be another cheesy romantic comedy which held back on the comedy but this wasn't i mean how could it have been with the fabulous amanda staring in it she was amazing really funny is still stunning the boys in it were also extremely fit one major reason for going girls the plot is strongly based upon the shakespeare play as it was extremely similar there was even a spider called which to the like character the script was really well written and pulled together and it was very witty the football skills in it were also amazing it even made me think of playing football myself anyway to sum it up this is a light hearted film about young romance which gets very confusing go and see it,positive +the war on everything 5 words that i love to watch the war on everything is an excellent australian comedy as the name suggests they war on everything they seem to love hitting the most of all br br the is one of the best comedies i have seen and is the top of the line in australia it is on the australian abc which is where some of the best comedies are br br it has won the australian film industry awards but did not win the best comedy at the br br last year 2006 the was aired on abc on friday nights when everyone was out so no one could watch it well they have been moved to nights at a better and the best thing is if i miss an episode or even just want to see it again i can it from www abc net,positive +found this film for one dollar 1 00 and the film was a complete waste of time brown mark played a military in south america and was successful in capturing the leader of rebel soldiers operating out of the dense however mark joins the opposite side after some horrible were inflicted or women and men in one scene as mark is having a drink in a hotel bar his eyes catch the glimpse of sexy long legs sandra spencer shannon dead sexy mark and sandra have the extreme for each other and even make passionate love on some very hard rocks with no time for the of a bed this is a horrible film and not worth wasting the time to even look at it,negative +just like most people i couldn't wait to see this 11 sequel but it really stinks i must say it stinks because there's simply no good screenplay it was just cheap i hope the producers all the money this movie has made or will make to the victims in asia so this movie will have at least one good reason to exist it is so bad i even can't write a decent comment about it but i still advise the creators of this thing to make 13 13 will be about the same thieves who are trying to steal a screenplay well hidden somewhere in hollywood the 13th member will be a foreign maybe russian screenplay writer who knows all tricks to write a copy of this well hidden screenplay so they can replace the original they'll have to steal or they need to find at least 13 people to write a decent screenplay for a movie in which not only julia roberts plays herself but even all other star members of the films 13 people because it's the lucky number of andy character,negative +i have been trying to track the age of kings down for many many years my theater life was filled with the actors in this series at the time in 1960 i was not able to follow all of it as i was myself working in the theater lots of night work now in retirement i long to have this and keep it to myself please please can it not be on dvd i would not mind what it cost i see that there are others out there who feel the same what can we do to get this done something as great as this should not be sent into oblivion i have to write two more lines ok i can do that by saying that i want this series more than anything in the world just to be able to watch some of the finest actor of our age playing out the finest words of our wonderful shakespeare isn't that enough a,positive +guest from the future tells a fascinating story of time travel friendship battle of good and evil all with a small budget child actors and few special effects something for spielberg and lucas to learn from a sixth nick finds a time machine in the basement of a building and travels 100 years into the future he discovers a near perfect society where robots play and write poetry everyone is kind to each other and people enjoy everything technology has to offer alice is the daughter of a prominent scientist who invented a device called that allows to read minds of humans and animals the device can be put to both good and bad use depending on whose hands it falls into when two evil space pirates from who want to rule the universe attempt to steal it falls into the hands of 20th century school boy nick with the pirates hot on his tracks he travels back to his time followed by the pirates and alice chaos confusion and funny situations follow as the pirates try to blend in with the alice in the same school nick goes to and demonstrates abilities in class the catch is alice doesn't know what nick looks like while the pirates do also the pirates are able to change their appearance and turn literally into anyone hmm i wonder if this is where james cameron got the idea for terminator who gets to nick and first excellent plot non stop adventures and great soundtrack i wish hollywood made kid movies like this one,positive +one of my favorites as a child growing up in the ny area in the late 60s and early 70s i was often the opportunity to visit nyc with my grandfather or father as they business there the gritty human reality of that city particularly in winter have stayed with me br br this film very captures the stark cold matter of fact feel of the nyc winter season while exposing the of the infamous underworld of crime and a great of a place and a time and a culture br br and the car chase is simply amazing at least on par with the one in and the chase in the french connection i can watch time and again as the suspension comes on that fury police toward the bridge in pursuit as it into that sharp right and into traffic the stunt driving for that scene did and the french connection as well as many other movie chases good acting too and a decent plot line the musical score is edgy and compelling and the cinematography and direction are top notch a great if underrated 1970s cop drama a keeper not out on dvd yet though br br comparable in style and content to the french connection and super fly early 1970's cop dramas set in the bleak nyc winter months,positive +as i sat in the theater almost crying to myself in over the atrocity ron howard and tom hanks call the da code i could not see the light at the end of the tunnel that is angels and demons br br hanks and company are back for the sequel prequel angels and demons and they have learned their lesson br br acting wise everyone is much better is very good as and better than the girl who played sophie tom hanks is very good as always he is better in this though because he works harder at giving the movie the feeling that it is a thriller i think ewan does the best job of any of the actors he might even deserve a nomination come march but he had me convinced right until the very end he's dynamic and faithful but rational and realizes that the church needs to put their past behind them the minor actors also do very good jobs br br technically and visually the movie is much improved the cinematography is much much better and the visual effects are superb the final explosion sequence at the end is excellent howard does a masterful job taking you through a tour of rome br br pacing wise ron howard does an amazing job this time around at keeping the story moving and not boring us with a history lesson deemed at christianity the movie also makes you feel like more is at stake in our feeble minds discovering whether or not jesus had children is not as high up on the list compared to a explosion killing thousands including the roman catholic church part of the reason i think the story is so fast paced is due to the excellent score i cannot say enough about the score it was epic at times like something from lord of the rings but then sometimes it felt like a bourne movie which is a nice mix br br my only complaint about this movie is that it is ridiculously far fetched the chances of the being someone of ewan age are highly improbable and the chances of a with an adopted son getting elected are even more ridiculous not to mention the whole thing which has yet to be created and dan brown wrote the book in 2003 br br overall angels and demons is much faster paced more exciting and more important movie than the da code this is must see thriller for anyone who loves history and mystery combined into one,positive +well its ten year's on since this film was released and the of time have not improved it one bit again like the other comments made the aussie film makers should have a little more drama rather than middle class riding around beautiful places on there with not much in the was of dialog middle class is not funny nor is rich there is also a mash of cast why is a young woman going to marry a man old enough to be her father it escapes me it's such a shame about this film looks like a wonderful place to holiday anyway its an hour and thirty mins of my life i will never be able to get back to short to watch this movie,negative +bud and lou always had a good following among children but in their careers i think you could say that they only made one film that could be for kids jack and the was that one film br br it was part of a two picture independent deal from warner brothers the second film being and meet captain these were the only two films the boys made in color br br the two of them out of work as usual take a job for a very and obnoxious young david as a babysitter although it starts out with wanting to read the kid jack and the as a story the young winds up reading it to lou falls asleep and in his dreams he he's indeed jack the giant killer br br buddy who the boys in africa screams plays the giant and he's got a giant size dorothy ford as his dorothy was a big girl and you can imagine she had some difficulty being cast except when her height was used as a joke one of the only players who ever looked down at her was john wayne in three at henry fonda and james stewart in on our merry way also stood barely above her but again her height was part of a gag br br and james alexander were the princess and prince of the fantasy and they sang beautifully but couldn't act worth anything this was the last film of william who's career dated from the early silent screen days and even to the turn of the last century on stage he played princess father the king br br some not terribly memorable musical numbers came from jack and the save the title song i well remember as a kid having the record of bud and lou singing the song and the story i was in my early single years but became a fan of through that and their television series br br jack and the is still a good children's picture for the very young though i would warn parents to warn their little not to imitate young master,positive +i saw this on a cheap dvd release with the title the force since i enjoy cheesy 80's horror films i thought i was in for a real treat sadly the film is mostly boring and you're constantly waiting for something to happen it does eventually get somewhat interesting but this is in the last quarter of the film it's a case of too little too late when the action does happen it's not that great what we get are dead corpses along the ground and chasing after the girls in the it's not the absolute worst i've seen but you can do a lot better i would only recommend this to die hard of cheesy 80's horror,negative +this was a movie i came across by accident i was flipping through and saw it was on showtime so i watched it now i watch it at least once a month this is a movie that is filled with symbols that might cause some people to trash it don't listen to people that hate this movie if they want an action movie with expensive f x they should have rented a movie that promises them if you are in the mood for a good sci fi i highly recommend if on dvd i recommend the alliance atlantic edition of the film it contains many more extras than the dimension films edition,positive +i love sandra she's one of my all time favorite actresses but this is a movie that she should have paid a long time ago to be trash i realize that it's almost 20 years old but my dead grandmother can act better than these people did beware it's not even worth the 5 50 rack you know that when the acting stinks this bad that it's not even worth a couple of bucks the sound quality is horrendous there's no closed to even hear the hideous dialog and it looks as if it were filmed on a 1 98 budget i thought that i'd like to see sandra in an early role to see how she evolved as an actress but is too kind a word to use,negative +when the word presents finds its way into a title by a famous name the work is usually immediately for some reason people who are capable of creating good art don't seem to be able to see it in others however i've always been willing to give the second installment of the demons trilogy a try for one thing the are absolutely to die for most american directors would have sacrificed small animals to line up the kind of talent on the soundtrack of demons 2 for another well two words asia of course she was eleven when this film was made and a number of years away from her seeming decision that she would style her acting after early helen steamy looks and little clothing as well comes from one of finest in that odd horror sub genre known as giallo he's the son of mario who may well have invented the genre in the sixties and the original demons is an absolute must see for fans of eighties b horror films so how bad can this be right well bad the demons continue their assault on italian media as the movie opens in a modern italian high rise where many people going about their lives have their on in the background they're all watching a kind of combination news report video of some reporter types trying to get proof of the events of the first film which would seem to put the time frame of this one no more than a few days after the first film through the usual horror film extra inability to concentrate the manage to bring a demon back to life and he comes through the tv screen to start the plague br br yeah it's that bad about the only thing good one can say about the film is that the soundtrack when you're not being about by the likes of the the cult gene loves etc is stunning it comes from the keyboard of simon who got his start as a part of the and has since gone on to score such films as lord of and br br makes a half decent free rental if you're planning on drinking heavily but it's certainly nowhere near the fun the original was wonderfully funny high rise nasty creature romp aka they came from within is a whole lot better,negative +it's true that this is not realistic story but romantic comedy is not a genre that i look to for realism what counts is that the characters are likeable and as needed sexy is beautiful and relaxed and jake is handsome in an kind of way they have enough chemistry to make the story believable in the area that counts sexual attraction i would love to see either of them in another movie and yes the clown is pretty cute too,positive +i don't understand why everyone hates this movie aside from the fact that they're just jealous their music careers never took off like mega aaron carter like it or not aaron has seen more success in his young life than most people could ever dream of having so it only seemed natural for him to do a movie lou and company have been known for over their pop you remember justin into tv movie model behavior granted this movie isn't big scale and impressive but it's not supposed to be it's not trying to impress people or be an emmy award winner it was released straight to dvd it's just a cute little movie about an awkward teen who gets her dream of being with her favorite i know a lot of you out there have had that dream at some point or another about you favorite singer don't deny it it's sweet and gentle and i applaud it for not stepping into the realm of sex violence and vulgar language that seem to be into more and more of our movies today where's the decency where's the line teen dramas come in dozens these days because teens are a big market for companies at least this one is more tolerable to me than aka with all the fake little girls running around going oh in tank tops and mini and is better than those gore fest movies like saw i feel for the main character girl because i was nerdy girl in high school who loved aaron carter and and the boys and other pop music and still do and like character would get especially in if you judge this movie solely based on the fact that you don't like or are jealous of aaron carter and his fame then of course you're going to hate it and trash talk it in reviews the only reason britney got a higher score is because she has boobs accept this movie for what it is not what you want it to be i think this happy formulaic teen movie ends on a high note and makes you want to sing,positive +if you want to see the true vile nature of communism watch the movie dark blue world it how the brave czech pilots who refused to surrender to england to join the fight against the nazis after the war the feared they had picked up dangerous western ideas about freedom so they had these heroic czech pilots thrown into a nightmarish prison where some of the guards were the same nazis they their lives to defeat br br if hollywood wants to understand why so many of their movies fall flat they should compare the character drama portions of pearl harbor with this movie in dark blue world you really make a connection to all the characters in pearl harbor everyone is like some slick cartoon version of a real person br br there are instances of brilliant writing in this movie one funny scene that sticks in my mind is when the character is being taught english by a rather when he can't a word he the lesson in typical stoic english fashion the teacher but confronts and him into behaving br br the battle sequences in this movie are amazing and they help to keep the movie lively i read that it cost 11 000 an hour to rent the planes but it was worth every penny br br ladies you are expected to cry at sad movies but guys beware this movie would make general and if you are a dog lover you'll use up half a box of don't say i didn't warn you,positive +i watched this movie thinking it was going to be absolutely horrible and was ready for all the bad special effects etc but i was pleasantly surprised not to say that it's the best vampire movie i have ever seen but it certainly isn't the worst i liked the whole alternate reality dream state that played into the movie the graphics were quite well for a straight to dvd movie and i liked the overall look of the film i enjoyed the main character i usually end up hating the female leads but there was something about her that kept me interested yes she does make some bad decisions but that was to be expected yes the other characters were stereotypical but i was expecting that too i don't know if i'd highly recommend this movie but give it a chance and you might be pleasantly surprised i'm putting this one on my guilty pleasures list,positive +this must be one of and frank worst films an oddball musical comedy that fails in almost every aspect silly plot has sinatra trying to carry on his fathers reputation as a kissing he's no and doesn't kiss he does play the nerdy character as well as could be expected given the dialog he has to speak the scene are j and mildred too bad they didn't have more scenes together i've given the film two stars because the sets and costumes are superior and one of the songs sung by grayson love is where you find it is sensational could have had a of that one also a comic type dance number by and ann miller if fun so for those reasons and those reasons only it is watchable kissing is part of the frank sinatra early years collection,negative +i do not write reviews here often but i can not stand by and let other people suffer through this movie without a least trying to warn them this movie is horrible and it is not because i do not know what the director was trying to convey or i am too stupid to understand the plot this movie is horrible because of poor direction screen writing and acting this is the of bad move making and the reason the film was direct to video it tries to be something like high tension hostel and with the of some of those ideas but it just does not work i did not have high expectations or even medium ones going into the film but was still very disappointed it had potential to be very good with a nice setting and good idea for a film but it was wasted,negative +i thought this movie was really awesome one of best i am also a fan of michael so i thought he was so hot in this movie why all the bad reviews i would want to watch this movie over and over again if i could i also loved the ending this movie clearly has shown a smile on my face i was also surprised that james franco and jessica alba were in it i love them both so i also this movie at the end when drew is making the huge comment about the truth it really told the truth of what sometimes happens in high school again the movie was amazing a 10 10 hope this comment was very useful to any imdb readers,positive +oh my gosh i love this movie much it is so incredible i loved it as a wee babe and still love it as an adult it is my favorite disney movie of time you should watch it watch it and love it my friends and i watch it a ton it is good i recommend it to anyone who is a child or a child at heart my favorite part is the song and dance number with all of the and thomas the writers producers director completely nailed this one yeah nailed it to the wall br br,positive +the secret life starts with the worst possible narrative intro the crimes committed by jeffrey dahmer are too horrible to make a film about okay so what are you suggesting that we shouldn't bother to continue watching as the film won't be accurate or bloody anyway and they were right too the film isn't the least bit shocking and contains almost no blood or gore at all although i think that's mainly due to the low budget production values and not because of crimes being too horrific basically the secret life jeffrey dahmer is just one sequence repeated over and over again young pitiful and mentally confused jeffrey picks up victims always males as he was a homosexual kills them and then talks about how it wasn't his intention to hurt them and about how lonely he is this gets boring really quick and even the admirable performance by unknown actor carl crew can't save this movie from being a total dud still this version is much better than the pretentious and hopelessly muddled dahmer that got released in 2002,negative +the script is very weak there is no depth in the characters the story telling is not the thing here the unnecessary action scenes does not really help this one one of the worst movies in history of films,negative +minor spoilers br br in chicago grace kathy bates is a housewife having a twenty five years marriage with the lawyer max dan and a hysterical and psychotic dwarf daughter in law meredith grace the singer victor fox jonathan price who will present a tv show in chicago and will give five spots on the first row in a tv promotion kate calls the show and wins a ticket when max simultaneously asks for the divorce claiming that their lives are too monotonous grace becomes depressed and when she goes to the show the audience is informed that a chicago serial killer who uses a killed victor fox with a broken heart she decides to fly to england to victor funeral there she realizes that he was gay and becomes friend of his former mate simpson rupert everett they fly back to chicago trying to find the killer this movie is a delightful original and weird dramatic comedy having bizarre characters it has a huge potential to be a cult movie with the of julie andrews and barry themselves and a joke with nicolas masterpiece look when wears a red in underground part of the city the beginning of the movie with jonathan price singing is wonderful i have repeated it four times the cast has a magnificent performance kathy bates jonathan price rupert everett and the unknown meredith indeed this movie is an excellent entertainment my vote is eight br br title brazil a to the,positive +this movie isn't that great at all but it's good when you want to just laugh because it's pretty ridiculous there are a lot of mistakes in it and it's cheesy i got this movie for christmas like 5 years ago but for some reason i've never given it away i guess i just like it for a rainy day even though i only watch it like once a year this is a very 90's movie so it's really funny to see how everyone dresses and acts this movie is good for someone young although come to think of it i didn't even like it much when i was like 12 but that's just my personal opinion the movie was really predictable i wish it had had some extra weird twists but i guess it was trying to be an appropriate movie for everyone to enjoy i think it was appropriate for the whole family but dress was a bit but certainly appropriate enough for family material,negative +i saw this film at temple university i cannot that anyone will ever see this film in a theater projected on film the acting is similar to saved by the bell the tv show the plot is simple and unimaginative the sound likes the sound of wind and the needs a light vampires vampires vampires br br don't waste your money,negative +we are in a small town a widow hires a robert ryan to look after her house she soon starts to regret it as ryan grows by the hour it appears that she is host to a dangerous and now she is unable to escape her house br br beware my lovely is adapted from mel the spiral story and play called the man pretty much a one set movie and a two character driven piece the film boasts two great central performances and offers up an interesting take on mental illness one however shouldn't be fooled into thinking this is a violent and nerve picture because it isn't it's clear from the get go that howard is a dangerously troubled man but this is a different sort of peril movie one that throws up another on and thus makes it difficult to hate our dangerous protagonist br br ryan and are a great combination they had also done the excellent and far better on dangerous ground this same year so with both actors clearly comfortable together it brings out a finely tuned character story all based in the confines of one house re prison ryan is particularly strong as his character in and out of madness with some scenes powerful and at times inducing fear and at others deep sympathy the direction from harry is safe he in truth doesn't have to do much other than let his actors run with it and george e cinematography contains some smart and visual touches with one involving christmas tree immensely memorable falling some where in between being average and great beware my lovely has enough about it to make it a recommendation to fans of borderline and easy to follow film noir for fans of robert ryan tho it's something of an essential viewing oh yes and then some 7 10,positive +i have recently become a huge fan of i think he's the most deliciously original comedian to come along in ages he is refreshing and in his routines which run the gamut of topics from how much bush sucks to the sleazy exploits of 1970s producer robert evans i'm a longtime fan of maria and her wide eyed innocent routine whenever she effortlessly switches her naturally high pitched voice to one that is and i can't help but giggle i liked brian long before i even knew he was on just shoot me and there is something so funny about his aging nerd persona all three of these talented unique comedians the comedians of comedy a netflix documentary about their u s tour they truly deserve to be stars and this tour gave them the recognition they so richly deserve i thought no i knew i'd like this movie br br but i was wrong instead of the three comics each getting their own routine segments the comedians of comedy is down by meandering and dull documentary scenes that contain no humor no insight nothing of real interest i think there is a total of 30 minutes of stand up routines total in the minute movie what a rip off come on is anyone really interested in seeing our stars banter in their where's the humor in seeing in an and a comic book shop does anyone find random diner scenes particularly funny if this movie couldn't have shown our comics their stuff at least make it about what life is like on the road it's not even about that worst of all the comics never appear to be having real fun admits how bored he is doing a radio interview admits to how much he sucks at giving a tour of his home and every time the camera is pointed at her and her humor there is only br br these guys deserve a chance to show the world their unconventional amazingly crafted humor that is a refreshing change of pace from the brainless entertainment of mainstream comics like cook instead we have to sit through their mundane everyday routines on the road in a bore of a movie whose quality could easily be by any student film if you can locate any of or performances on dvd by all means do their talent should be a joy to behold not a chore like it is here,negative +this of won a award they must have been desperate for giving out an award for something this movie of stuff and it made me sick thankfully i watched it alongside mike and the so it made it bearable horrid acting unsettling mother daughter moment silly premise if you want a bad movie here it is be warned though watch it with mike and the or you will suffer br br 1 out of 10 i still can't believe it won an award and the director is defending this piece of movie,negative +after watching a texas tale of you feel a disgust for the nature of the hollywood beast inside the interviews and conversations of all involved with the project there is a common sense of and that backgrounds social and even this can be attributed to hard work on the entire commitment to the project and the love the of the story from the original film and the complete creation of that is it's creator the scale of people involved in holiday was amazing to me at a no budget no glory production there were no trailers or craft services no at all and yet everyone involved stuck right there with it if nothing ever comes of this project productions have laid their foundation for being a serious honest company that's never going to lay down and take it or sell out and make a movie just for the money i'd like to see any l a director go through the process to get a shot more realistic true to life cinema is lacking in this time of cg and green screens the masses may enjoy their entertainment fed to them in nice bite sized calm bits but there is a large group of people out here in the world that share the opinions and insights of the filmmakers that still make films for the love of the material or love of storytelling not dvd sales or box office i loved this documentary and i hope that has the to pick it up and air it so that maybe just maybe one more person will decide to pick up a camera and film some real life so we the viewer can have even a temporary understanding that everyone everywhere is the same and anyone anywhere can be a true,positive +on to the imdb to say what a charming film love love is and am totally confused seems to me that someone has been getting their titles mixed up plastic demon baby what this wasn't love life a little bit for my tastes but a great funny and original film especially liked the ending that didn't fall into the normal pit of cliche that all hollywood romantic films crash and burn it nine out of ten,positive +the spirit of st louis is billy film tribute to one of the best figures in history remembered for the first solo flight across the atlantic ocean in may with james stewart a little too old for the part playing charles br br as a tribute it is enough and although a few nice liberties may have been taken with historical fact the motion picture describing the detailed odyssey before and after the paris flight on may 20 21 in the spirit of st louis br br although the lengthy internal monologue employed during the journey may be disappointing to an audience the truth is that it helps keep the picture focused tightly on its essential point stewart the portrait of one of the greatest in the air the world has ever know in a highly single engine from long island new york to paris france br br no action is depicted in the trip only some flashbacks to break up the of the long flight but there is superb determination of the ordeal of a brave and talented pilot decided to fly alone his is simple less weight one engine one pilot would increase fuel and allow for a longer flying range but with so much risk claim to fame was doing something that many had tried and failed br br even though wilder has put it upon the screen in a calm fashion it comes out as biography of intense restraint and power but it is james stewart's performance controlled to the last detail that gives life and strong heroic stature to the principal figure in the film br br from it there emerges an awareness of a clever firm but truly humble man who a task with resolution plans as much about it as he can makes his decisions with courageous and then with only one thought in mind to get to paris in his efforts to cut off the weight any item considered too heavy or unnecessary was left behind br br the record setting flight proved not only to be a fight with the elements and a test of but also a long battle against a busy schedule and an active mind kept up all of the previous night still he managed to stay conscious enough to keep the from crashing and landed at le near paris 33 hours and 30 minutes after leaving new york br br stewart gives an able portrait of a brave pilot who legendary status the intention and resolution to fly 5 3 miles across the atlantic br br photographed in and and backed by beautiful music the film effectively captures the spirit of the era and the hero's ultimate achievement since he takes off that day from wet field and at the end of the,positive +this is perhaps the television series with the greatest potential of any series around the production values are in a class of their own the characters are rounded and interesting this is entertainment at its best some of the aliens are quite grotesque but there is an underlying humour which makes it i hope that this series goes on for many years and will have many spin offs science fiction has had its bad press some justified but this is truly a science fiction series and i thank for it top marks,positive +it was close but the china syndrome received the worst kind of publicity when as it was going into theatrical release the accident at three mile island nuclear power plant happened i still remember the whole country's attention was glued onto coming out of and wouldn't you know it a scientist in the china syndrome describes the worst case scenario as rendering an area as large as the state of br br less than a decade later in the at the soviet union in its last days dealt with such a crisis that didn't get in the nick of time the china syndrome once again became a relevant movie br br the film is more about cutting for safety than it is about being anti nuclear jack lemmon is a man who lived with nuclear power all his life as the captain of an atomic power submarine what him and sets him off to create the confrontation that the film is the stupidity and greed of the power company stupidity and greed though are found every day the problem with them is that there are places where it can be less in human society br br lemmon shares star billing with a couple of famous hollywood jane fonda and michael douglas jane is a tv news reporter who is constantly being assigned to feature stories and just happens to be at a nuclear power plant when an accident occurs the cover up by her own station and her later meeting with lemmon set off the chain of events depicted in the china syndrome br br best scene i thought however was with peter a news executive with her station take a look at her facial expressions as off the importance of the story and tells her that her very beauty demands she stick to pieces fonda knows she's got something and sticks with it br br michael douglas plays her cameraman this was a typical part for him back in the day in his tcm tribute to his father kirk douglas michael said he for roles showing sensitivity still i could have seen a young kirk douglas in this part br br what to do about energy for industrial and post industrial nations a problem that will our government for a couple of generations to come this film shows what can happen with a on nuclear power our current problems in the world in part from a on fuel specifically oil everything we use brings consequence some br br the real hero of the film in my opinion is colleague at the nuclear power plant in the end really steps up to the plate br br see the china syndrome to know what i'm talking about,positive +having been a godzilla fan for many years gamera was to me a cheap to capitalize on the success of 1 star attack of the monsters was for me at the time 1975 an almost painful viewing experience br br last weekend i attended the godzilla fest known as g fest where carl craig one of the stars of gamera vs made an appearance of course they featured this movie it was one of the most hilarious bad movies ever made of course you have to be in the right frame of mind to watch it in one scene for example the boy held prisoner on board the alien space craft manage to escape by distracting the not too bright aliens when they realize they been one of them says that's funny i think those kids to us not even plan nine from outer space can that kind of dialog br br this may not be godzilla or even gamera 3 but this one is a decent enough time if you watch it in the right frame of mind br br however if you want top quality entertainment check out the recently released gamera 3 br br rating 1 2 out of,negative +so i was sick with the one saturday and the silver was that scifi channel was having a marathon of dinosaur movies that day the trilogy island then i ahead on my cable remote to see which movie scifi placed in its glamorous saturday prime time some movie i had never heard of before called i was pretty excited the movie begins with some teens driving around in a when they get stalked and killed by a i was like hmmm that's odd that looks almost exactly like a scene in except it was in the middle of that movie then i sat through some really bad acting and then some guy was into walking into an underground research laboratory where he got eaten by a t rex now i'm like wait a second that was also a scene in then after i saw some scenes blatantly ripped off from 2 i figured out just what the hell was going on so basically roger corman co ripped off scenes from the trilogy to use as the action scenes in a basic dinosaur runs amok plot and tried to pass it off as an original movie shameful i don't know who i'm more angry at roger corman or scifi channel for trying to pass this off as worthy of the prime time the only reason why this was worth watching to its conclusion was to pick out the actors actresses who looked like their counterparts in the trilogy and guess which scenes would be lifted next as much as it pains me being a dinosaur lover i have no choice but to give this the lowest possible rating because i feel completely ripped off,negative +reporter wells presents the minor side of the news pieces that don't hold much news merit while shooting footage on alternative energy at a nuclear power plant an accident occurs friend and cameraman for richard adams films the men controlling the incident in the control room jack head of the control room the from disaster after an investigation into the incident shows nothing is wrong jack can't help but feel something isn't right on discovering that the on the are jack with and richard seek to tell the public and shut down the plant br br nearly made thirty years ago the china syndrome is a riveting drama that still holds so much relevance today nuclear power has always been a subject whether it is the source of alternative energy waste and are nuclear plants waiting to be the next just not about nuclear power the china syndrome explores freedom of speech right of press and big business on jack's of information his knowledge a massive investment on the construction of another nuclear plant which many men seek to profit from desperately wanting out on the news sees the fight for truth is more important than her career constantly pushed by richard never wanted to be demanding the public be told of the accident br br jane fonda michael douglas and jack lemmon are simply flawless fonda shows as a fragile woman on her exterior yet emotionally hard and determined to reveal this cover up douglas brings a strong performance as richard fighting for honestly and truth lemmon shines over all as jack his performance is highly charged drama br br the china syndrome is riveting viewing that still holds much relevance today as it did when first released,positive +first of all i personally adore demons and demons 2 i saw them although it was hard to find good horrors without good official movie here in russia when i was a kid and that is an part of my then i heard nothing about mr then i saw his ghost son well it is certainly not a good coming back why was the leading character whom we never really knew to at least like him in accident in the middle of an empty road why do african servants say so dumb and stupid things about human soul why is the plot so primitive haven't we seen enough ghosts for 100 years of movie production it is clear that has nothing to show us so far it is a shame,negative +first of all i wasn't sure who this film was aimed at it seemed like a story for kids but had stuff in it kids wouldn't understand and find boring there wasn't really much to it bruce willis wasn't stretched as an actor at all he did a lot of to the side with that half smile of his unless you are a big fan of his i wouldn't bother and if it's the story you're interested in guy who seems to have it all but is lacking emotionally is taught lessons from a child i would go to see about a boy it has everything this film lacked humor sadness and reality,negative +the setup for nature of the beast is simple and with potential for suspense salesman jack a very lance picks up trouble in the form of adrian eric roberts who seems to be in possession of information against jack oh and over a million dollars has been stolen from a casino and someone dubbed man' is people in the desert sounds great right sort of like the meets psycho one or both of these men has a secret and nothing is as it seems well unfortunately writer director victor of and fame doesn't have enough ideas to keep the movie going the scenario no tension or suspense poison for what is supposedly a and the inclusion of an underlying erotic tone seems out of place evokes an unusual not quite even sporting an ample gut but roberts is about as threatening and scary as an extra in death wish 3 we're never sucked in to the point where we actually care about what's happening and the conclusion into improbable territory i kept thinking it was going to be fight club all over again but i was mistaken too bad nature of the beast could have been something else instead of nothing else,negative +is a stunning and heartbreaking story about the two seth and robin gives a fantastic performance as suffering from getting and as the movie progresses this movie is not very optimistic and it's very hard emotional but at the same time very romantic it's hard to explain but see it and find out for yourself it's definitely worth it,positive +this is a failure so complete as to make me angry br br all of the subtlety and structure of early films is gone leaving nothing but a of images whose sole purpose seems to be whining about bad things humans do just how do star trek like graphics mo of obviously fake computer icons and shots of athletic competition that incidentally show that no one has ever been able to top or even match for filming bodies in motion edited together with an of video that a 1980s dr who producer would have rejected as too cheesy add up to a against violence there is no intellectual emotional or visceral connection between these images as assembled and mutated by and way too many digital effects and the tale i assume he wanted to produce with all of the involved no one seems to have pulled his head out the his own feeling of saying something important and considered that they might all be failing to say something new br br only people who watch too much television could make such a film and believe that it's meaningful this is stan and ultimately in its relentless the only irony and tension evident here unlike in where the relentless beauty and of time altered ordinary images forced you to consider their meaning was when the dvd i was watching and this is mtv for the noam crowd based on rather than reflection and nothing two stars for the music which is in best style and features some passionate from ma i hope for his sake that he didn't have to record his parts to a of the film there are some things you shouldn't have to do even for a paycheck,negative +to say i wasn't expecting much sitting down to watch the couch trip is an understatement i had no idea what it was about i thought it was going to be a journey into the realm of sexuality when i heard chevy chase played a man and the movie's title involves the word couch trip then i figured out that it had something to do with a mental and a patient escaping my expectations dropped even lower br br i was literally expecting a grin movie the type where you grin once and walk out feeling a bit cheated and in a way this is cheap comedy it doesn't have the greatest gags the plot is ludicrous but you know what i had a big dumb smile on my face the entire time i was watching it br br dan plays john burns a patient at a mental hospital who may or may not actually be mental he gives the psychiatrist lawrence david plenty of grief and misery which leads us to believe he is a sane person after all br br following a little bit of a riot in the mental burns is awaiting a tongue from in his office when the phone rings burns picks it up pretends to be and finds out the on the other line harvey michaels richard wants the real dr to come fill in for a radio shrink named george charles who is taking a vacation with his wife vera mary gross michaels wants so bad he has even him a ticket on an airplane br br burns escapes the with the help of a and drives to he gets dr ticket gets on the plane and eventually poses on the air as dr his show is a phenomenal success people love him one man says and the other man replies it's because he actually cares about them br br donald the late great walter matthau is an ex mental patient who clothes to be pants and shirts to keep him quiet burns promises a of his the secret is kept closed br br meanwhile and his wife get in an argument he flies home to end his vacation short and realizes that the man on his talk show is not in fact dr after all but no one believes him he gets the real dr but unfortunately he has lost his id so the police take them as and don't listen to their story br br let me name just a few of the plot holes i noticed while watching this film burns poses as dr but is never asked for his id even when claiming his plane ticket he was robbed he says but they would still make sure he is if burns becomes so very famous how come the real dr in chicago never heard people talking about him word travels and finally why would the police ever arrest and the real that is without following up on their stories br br to be frankly honest i couldn't care less i went into this movie with a closed mind and it surprised me i really liked it it entertained me its ideas are essentially ludicrous and not at all realistic but dan gives a truly spirited performance as a half a that makes the couch trip a trip worth taking br br 3 5 5 stars br br john,positive +ron hall pulls a triple threat as he writes directs and stars in derek washington hall is your clichéd cop on a mission who finds himself up to his neck in some nasty vampire action away his he for the last vampire no not buffy to take back the streets and the back to the grave br br is a horrible film it rips off so many other films can you say blade that it never even attempts to establish it's own identity the script is non existent the action is horrible who says a budget creativity there is nothing even remotely interesting here you will get nothing out of this except a headache stay away at all costs,negative +this movie should have been billed as three movie linked together to form a full length feature film including lots of shots of people slowly walking down dark corridors and streets be warned the first hour of this movie is simply a re of the first two aztec movies as told by the main character the actual movie doesn't start until the thing is almost over i must say the overacting on the part of the bat is quite hilarious br br as for the robot i thought a robot was a mechanical device that may or may not resemble a human the robot consists of a corpse in a lead robot body as tom put it he's not that impressive he doesn't even have knees that and it takes the robot about an hour just to across the room but once he catches you watch out he'll you with a touch powered by ease br br this is a great movie when accompanied by joel and the otherwise you're just a for abuse,negative +i like seeing linda blair playing in an actual horror movie again i had been disappointed with her in most everything since the exorcist movies which i loved what was up with all of those nasty b movies she did br br david on the other hand all i could do is laugh he is not cut out to be a horror movie actor david needs to stick to knight rider or br br all around this is an awesome movie even for the eighties this was an awesome film it has horror action and drama it is a suspenseful and i loved the way linda blair turned out,positive +joe was first released in the us in the summer of 1970 despite respectable notices reasonable box office and an oscar it shortly afterwards and remained forgotten about throughout the 1980's before being somewhat in the us in the late 90's thanks to this lengthy its reputation has gone on to see it placed inexplicably alongside the likes of michael original death wish although revenge is a theme a film about this most definitely is not br br the plot isn't worth its a hammy and about an accidental murder and the unlikely relationship that out of it that relationship and the largely class based quirks of its two leads are exaggerated into ridiculous caricature these two and their situation bear absolutely no relation to reality br br almost everything about the film is and which makes the whole thing completely fascinating hippies are depicted as and hard drugs either make you sleep or dance around with on your face and most young women are prepared to have sex with strangers in exchange for marijuana at the drop of a fly its very much a film of the 60's rather than the 70's so why some industry have begun to include it in conversations about the of the hollywood new wave is a complete mystery martin of all people even got involved though probably only to give a nod to the of the grim urban cinematography which almost certainly influenced taxi driver four years later but joe seems very much like a furious against the likes of easy rider and bonnie and clyde rather than a of that same cinematic br br it isn't a film of any real artistic significance despite fury at everything in his world it remains a story about absolutely nothing but its value as a cultural museum piece is shot on and around the streets of new york city during the darkest hours of the vietnam war and at a time when america and significantly its cinema was being to the horror of the old guard the film ends up in its own completely oblivious and accidental way saying more about that period of history than numerous infinitely superior movies that directly to capture it br br but as a film despite a really surprising and effective shock ending this is basically a michael winner film but not as well made how does that your fancy incidentally if you are like me a fan of background then check out harold at 1 22 11 in the art gallery,negative +this has always been a favorite movie of mine i've owned a vhs copy and a couple of months ago i found a dvd release which is also part of my video collection i also happen to be a huge baseball fan and as part of my off season reading i picked up a copy of robert excellent book you gotta have that the ins and outs of japanese baseball and the challenges that foreign players have encountered playing in japan as i began to read yesterday it made me think of this movie because it appears the screenplay was based almost on this book the parallels are uncanny the jack elliot character closely resembles bob an aging whose best days were behind him leon lee is also depicted in the character max hammer a veteran in the japanese league who has made his peace with the of the japanese game and helps keeps his sane the elliot character goes through the same sequence of encounters as from big early success that an already sports media and the ensuing that frustration alienation from fans and media and the resulting that a desire to go back home to the us the only difference is that the movie adds such hollywood touches as a love interest and a happy ending br br speaking of love interests i'm sure many viewers have come to this site as i did to look up the actress who played the beautiful and what other work she has done it only lists this movie it turns out based on an article i read that the brief love scene she has with tom a in this movie mild by our standards basically they kiss while he's in the bath and she's wearing a caused such an outrage on the part of the japanese public males in particular that she has never been offered another role of any kind in movies or television essentially by the japanese movie industry it's a real shame as she is was quite a talented actress in this movie br br if you like this movie as much for the baseball elements and cultural differences as i did go find a copy of you gotta have by robert a good read and a great companion book to this movie,positive +this has to be one of the funniest movies i've ever seen the idea of a typical family leaving everything behind to live in the wilderness when mom and dad both lose there jobs not to mention they have green in their they decide it's in their families best interest to move to once there everything goes wrong an interesting cast of characters compliment this movie including a young molly this a movie i would recommend,positive +a guy with the unlikely name of shy walker looks for his two daughters in a for an hour and a half that's the entire plot with across the board bad acting of course walker wanders around a corn i get it not funny and yells girls where are you about 1000 times for some reason whenever he runs by a a sounding voice laughs as if the is laughing at him yeah ok his daughters scream for most of the movie even when there is no reason to scream maybe because they are still stuck in this awful movie twin girls straight out of 'the show up every now and then most of the corn looks the same so search gets very old very quickly the filmmakers realize there is nothing going for this movie even the music is repetitive so they try to make things interesting by spinning the camera around really fast filming upside down smaller pictures of the same shot at different angles using red lights to make the corn look scary and the camera degrees at least i'm assuming these were done intentionally but it's likely just examples of incompetent film making more often than not when walker is wandering through the you can't see his face i guess the kid holding the camera can't look up that high this movie gives you a new appreciation for the original which doesn't have anything to do with this movie except for the fact it also features a don't be fooled by the r rating walker says the f word three times and now we have an r rated horror movie ugh the scarecrow on the cover doesn't even show up in this movie and when you are wishing that those cheesy scarecrows from the first movie would come back you know things are bad instead we get a guy in yellow boots chasing our hero around unfortunately he is dressed similar to mr walker so i didn't even realize he was being followed for a while i figured out the identity of the guy in the yellow boots long before walker did the movie is almost over by the time he puts 2 and 2 together the end of the movie drags on and on and just in case it isn't slow enough there's some slow motion the last sound you hear besides your own laughter is very poor sound dubbing in case you can't tell this is the worst movie i've ever seen at least they didn't end with the promise of another sequel,negative +this is an excellent documentary about a story i hadn't heard about before the first solo non stop race around the world took place in 1968 and involved a handful of it's a truly fascinating story about man vs nature and man vs himself the story focuses on donald the tragic figure in this story the film combines interviews with footage which was shot by the sailors themselves aboard their the story is very suspenseful and sad as we learn the details behind the history of donald this is one of the best documentaries of the past few years it has true human emotion in it as the men face this almost impossible task of the world non stop on their own,positive +wow i just saw demon wind a little while ago and i don't think i'll ever be the same it has the power to inspire nightmares but for all the wrong reasons actually br br never before has humanity seen such a gratuitous change in make up for no damn reason or similarly so much bad zombie makeup that makes you hungry for those halloween green br br or so much naked old lady for that matter but then there was the shining br br the plot here is so amateurish that it actually almost holds a little bit of charm as does the dialog the last shot of the film is just so silly that its beyond description it's like some drunk college student got together with some pals and decided to throw bruce willis type dialog together with i guess dialog from some elm street film the result is jarring and it'd be truly funny if it was intended that way br br ah what the hey i'll laugh anyway br br hell get together with your friends and watch this but make absolutely sure you're drunk first or you may go insane particularly if you're a college film student br br cheers,negative +i have just seen a very original film that i would recommend to everyone including the young the restless ' however i guess some of the profanity violence and sexual innuendo in the movie are not suitable for all your children ' anyways before the sand fills up the let me tell you the name of the film nurse betty ' stars as betty she is a kansas waitress who falls under a and thinks she is a real life character of her favorite soap opera because of this she goes on a journey to los angeles to reunite with her supposed soap opera character lover dr to add fuel to the fire she is also being chased by some ruthless one life not to who think she has stolen their drugs you could say that is how nurse betty spends the days of her throughout the movie this very situation eventually leads her to the set of her beloved soap opera however the only problem is that betty thinks this is all real it is like her mind is in another world ' ok enough i will wipe off my mouth with soap and not mention any more soap names i have already my vote for as a best actress oscar also greg performance as dr was as good as it gets in his acting biography to sum it up my final is that everyone should call in for nurse betty ' excellent,positive +in the of and the texas chainsaw massacre monster man surprisingly well made though mindless little horror throw in a little buddy comedy nice gore and intense scare it's hard no to say that monster man is really entertaining the low budget seem pretty obvious but it doesn't the presentation of the movie in general and put more big budget horror movies in shame br br yes the plot somewhat generic as possible pair of friend adam eric and justin are driving cross country to the wedding of a woman adam has always loved while adam is more nerdy type is a self ladies man and very offensive adding a bonus to the plot then they picked up a sexy sarah brooks things turn into nightmare when a monster truck with scary face drive stalking them when dead body starts counting they must do the race against the time before their own life on risk br br the plot is obviously reminiscent of many prior famous horror movies but michael davis as the writer and director succeed in keeping the tension the scare is build well enough where characterization is never be the best but fairly okay the script also with comedies that works for the funny moments and they quite enjoyable rather than annoying and also wait for the twist in the finale it's hilarious and shocking in the same time which is pretty amusing br br as conclusion monster man surprisingly entertaining it deserves more attention in the big screen it proves that big budget doesn't make an effective horror movie but skill does something that the director has shown and delivers,positive +golden boy is humor on in the of educational moments the main character wanders around getting himself into the situations involving women it's just that he's shy on the surface but everything until he can learn something from it the most striking feature of the series are the circumstances surrounding his education which are outright embarrassing yet funny at the same time,positive +what a disappointment i've enjoyed the jon books about malone but there's little resemblance between him and the cinematic malone in the books he's a city detective who is devoted to his wife and doesn't get involved in for the film the character has been up into an who uses his and isn't to jumping into bed with a gorgeous girl though quite what she and the film's other sex interest see in him i don't know taylor was at the time and his face was getting br br but his character's is remarkable he flies in from australia apparently goes straight to the house rather seeking to arrest him during a black tie reception saves him from assassination getting into a fight in the process goes to a casino with one girl leaves with another and takes her to bed so much for jet on the way back to the house showing a good knowledge of london back streets he gets beaten up by the baddies but is still first down to breakfast it's also remarkable that the has its and miraculously within minutes of the assassination attempt and that one character has a touching faith in the precise of a clock bomb br br the best thing is joseph the disdain for the malone and at least the film avoids being a london though some scenes take place during the week,negative +this landmark film can now be seen in two different versions on the video release which also includes the english translation of novel which she based on a swedish the first version is the swedish edit under the title of the phantom the second version is a of the way it was shown in the united states under the title of the stroke of midnight as released by before it was m g m the actual us release has long but a detailed review in the new york times lets us know how the scenes were for domestic release and both are fascinating to see each version of this film was presented at the in salt lake city with live theatre scores provided by artist a live recording was made of these performances and are included on the video dvd along with the novel and notes about the two versions while the phantom follows the order of novel the stroke of midnight is in some ways easier to follow seeing the two different edits is an education in how silent films could be changed effectively for release in different countries br br some viewers look at this film as a horror film which it certainly is not this is a morality play with shades of the supernatural used to hit home its stark message the directing and lead performance by the great victor were way ahead of their time it's easy to see why m g m brought him to hollywood to direct such films as in the scarlet letter and the wind as well as in he who gets slapped in america he was known as victor he would also star in the lead role of wild giving a masterful performance bergman was greatly influenced by or the phantom in his earlier days br br this is a powerful film that is well worth taking some time to discover and study the video release is an excellent way to do this,positive +i should no longer be surprised when critics miss the most obvious things in works of art because they are human beings and the vast majority of human beings are lazy by nature that said the simplistic notion that great 1968 film shame or is merely an anti war film does a great deal of damage to the reputation of this very complex and highly nuanced film compared to its more predecessors persona and hour of the wolf shame is seemingly a more classic film in terms of narrative but the key word is seemingly for while it lacks the pop of persona and the horror film of hour of the wolf it is one of the best films ever made about war and not as an anti war film nor a pro war film as such it has to rank with wild as one of his greatest films as well as one of his best screenplays if not the best br br although ostensibly a more psychologically exterior film than the films that it it truly says far more realistic things about the human psyche and the will to survive in it max von and play jan and eva perhaps a nod at the infamous american spies whom many european felt were innocent two musicians who used to play for the local orchestra before a war broke out and they to live on a small plot of land on an island content to working in a the country they live in is as is the island they live on although the film was made on small island of just off the northern end of the swedish island of it seems that their nation has been at war for some years with an country or perhaps engaged in a civil war with rebels from another this is all left deliberately as this war is meant to all wars this is as the film starts with war quotes on the screen as the credits roll these include quotes from hitler to vietnam era american military figures after early scenes that depict the nature of their rural life and then the coming of war where even old men are an attack the land as enemy fly dropping bombs and what seems to be chemical weapons of an agent orange like nature one plane is hit and a jumps out and ends up hanging in a tree jan who starts off the film as a coward refuses to go and help so eva goes alone jan joins her and they find the pilot has been shot it seems he is indeed part of the or possibly rebel force a bunch of government soldiers soon stop at their home and ask questions about the dead pilot then advise the couple to leave their home as the are there are the of the film on a level such as that of bergman marc who provides the film commentary on the dvd of the film like many other critics he claims that is a who has with the but this is clearly and wrong for is with the original fascist government as proof first off the are after they the land and shoot their interview we know this because the government that later questions them of the interview and words put into mouth see the film as supposed proof of their and is clearly working with them the fascist big brother secondly is in charge of deciding which of the are sent to concentration camps for with the and the again are among those in his seduction of eva tells her his son is on leave from the military and clearly if he was an he would not be speaking so happily of his son serving the state also rebel forces are not official and do not grant official leave lastly is clearly with the rebels or of the organization and why would he have killed a colleague br br that and other critics so blatantly and and flat out miss such a key and point of this film brings into question their ability to any and all aspects of all of films this is a wonderful and great film and very high in the but it is disappointing to read how so few critics and viewers have really understand its complex message instead out for the cheap lazy and easy claim of its being merely anti war and a rather simple film in comparison to its two predecessors and that in the long run is the real shame of shame,positive +don't get me wrong i enjoy art house movies low budget flicks character studies and foreign movies unfortunately i couldn't enjoy this one pacing complete lack of plot and characters that you can't dislike enough to hate but you can't tolerate enough to like br br for me distant was like watching the cutting room floor footage of a reality show all of the scenes which were deemed too uninteresting which would normally not make the final cut were the only scenes included a camera in my apartment with two of my friends around for hours does not an interesting movie make br br distant certainly makes the watcher feel that way long stretches of no dialogue nearly 10 minutes before the first word is spoken from the credits can be made to work 2001 comes to mind but for me something else compelling needs to happen to draw me in br br if you're the kind of watcher who can sit through a movie and be content with movie analysis perhaps it will work for you however if you're somebody who chooses to watch movies to relax expand your mind or be entertained you should probably look elsewhere,negative +this is one of those movies that you watch because it's bad such a movie that you watch just to see it's supposedly a horror i cannot imagine how anyone can be afraid of a bug especially one that is in nature where you can see the actor's legs behind it br br even with no budget a little bit of attention to detail and even an attempt at making this movie believable would have sucked the fun right out of it as they would have had to replace all of the actors and the entire story with it if i had nothing to make fun of while it was playing i would have stopped it after 10 minutes and put on some quality show like bob square pants br br i strongly recommend that brett get with and really out some br br,negative +the big trail 1930 released 10 24 1930 viewed 4 5 br br richard harris harold robert br br doug in hollywood walsh his latest film the big trail a western about the trek west across the frontier starring up and coming 23 year old actor john wayne in 1930 we are seeing many but few besides the first john wayne film we have here the first widescreen film although we only watched the full frame version interestingly the decision to film in widescreen was essentially the same reason that widescreen became popular later to compete with television which hadn't yet appeared but was still an curiosity all the same this film was extremely good giving us a harrowing look at the trek to the opening title cards let us know that this is a western of the most traditional kind about america about the land who should live on it etc and is an excellent of that walsh gives us some astonishing visuals of the company out in the wilderness when they reach a cliff they must rope each down one by one and we also get a revenge subplot involving wayne pursuing the man who killed one of his friends i seem to recall something similar in wayne's tough cowboy routine is at least partly there and would surely further in subsequent films since this film is representing all of wayne's early 30's work for the odyssey we will not see his face again until but once we do we will keep seeing him to the end of the odyssey and beyond br br kevin ah our first sound western and john wayne's first starring role it's the big trail this review will be short since it's been weeks since i watched it i enjoyed this movie but it was far from a masterpiece the mostly predictable adventure had a few surprises like when the brains of the bad guys red power sr in his last role is killed half way through i thought he would be the boss at the end but that ended up being bill ian keith i remember that i didn't like the way wayne kills and revenge at the end i understood that that's what he was meant to do in the story but i really didn't like his reasoning when he tells ruth why he has to do it i think he had a far greater responsibility to the hundreds of he was leading through the harsh west br br last film viewed animal 1930 last film soup to nuts 1930 next film 1930,positive +what can i say about this such a big production but in the end wasted time wasted money br br this work a disaster is historically seen only some examples br br often is named his first name but the old don't used this name correct would be the and or the br br was shown as wife but this historically wrong br br was shown as nice young woman but she wasn't one adultery and maybe prostitution and arrogant behavior was the cause of her br br she wasn't at the dying bed of her father she never was allowed to leave her and she was at this time around 50 years old not as young as she was shown in the same year died she committed suicide because stopped giving her a br br was much more then in this movie shown but author and director seems to believe own br br what remains historically extremely bad acting bad built and equipment 2 points out of 10 one for peter o'toole,negative +this is a bad film as its central message is very muddled and the plot seems like it was the result of several scripts as a result it often makes absolutely no sense at all and certainly is not a film miss dunne or mr huston should have been proud of making however the film is worth watching if you are a fan of pre code films because it features an amazingly sleazy plot that strongly says that nice girls do put out even if they aren't married and even if their partner is br br the film begins with miss dunne as a social worker troops heading to europe for wwi in the process she meets a bruce who eventually convinces her to sleep with him she becomes pregnant and he then goes on to the next unsuspecting woman however miss dunne does not want him back as she realizes he's not worth it but later her baby dies at child birth while all these very controversial plot elements are used they are always to almost like they wanted the adults in the audience to know but hoped that if they phrase it or film it in just the right way kids in the audience will be clueless after all films were not rated and kids might attend any film at this time br br surprisingly this entire plot involving a baby and ends about 1 4 of the way through the film and is never mentioned again or to it was as if they filmed part of a movie and abandoned it it on to still another film in this second phase of the film miss dunne unexpectedly begins working at a women's prison though we actually never really get to see her doing anything there what we do see are countless horrible scenes of severe abuse and torture that were probably designed to and as a result of all this violence miss dunne goes on a to clean up the prison and becomes a and famous writer br br but then out of the blue another type of film emerges and the women's prison business goes by the dunne meets a judge walter huston who is married but he desperately wants her now throughout the film dunne is portrayed as a very good girl even though she did have sex with she was more or less tricked into it but now single irene who is a and good lady begins sleeping with a married man he tells her that he and his wife are estranged and are married in name only but she never thinks to investigate if this is true and with his off flies her clothes and they are in the baby making business but while she's pregnant with his love child he's for being a crooked judge he her he's innocent but he's convicted and it sure sounds like he's a using inside information from people that have come before his in order to a fortune then in the final moments of the film miss dunne tries in vain to get him freed and to wait with the child until huston is released the film then ends br br so we basically have three separate films and a bizarre early 30s idea of what a nice girl should be like i gathered that she should be a strong minded working girl who instantly becomes an idiot in her personal relationships this really all the about character and it's really hard to imagine anyone liking the film a strong women's rights might easily be offended at how weak minded and she was and religious people might see her as totally amoral or at least morally suspect with a decent re write this could have been a good film or at least interesting as a and film but it couldn't make up its mind what it wanted to be and was just another dull pre code film,negative +the violent men marked the finest collaboration of with glenn ford in an intensely satisfying drama of rugged primitive br br ford is john a former captain who is to get married and start a new his fiancée caroline may is desperate to move east and to see him selling his spread to lee edward g robinson br br is not even much of a but he do understand that there is something big building up in the in the army they used to call it pressure ' first cole brian keith comes back from texas to help his brother run then a tough kid with a fancy gun richard shows up on the then all the small are forced out getting the same kind of saw himself either running like they did or stand and br br but can he easily deals with a man who sends six killers to shoot an old man in the back can he easily with a man who started with a few of land and now owns practically the whole valley br br all that grass and sand ever meant to the ex army officer the past three it was a place to regain his out of habit of taking advice what happen in this valley is no concern of mine and much to the disappointment of the remaining and who pressure him to stay on he decides to accept offer to fulfill the promise he made to his br br when lee's younger brother cole made the wrong move trying to push make up his mind by one of his ranch hands got mad and warns the two brothers that he is going to stay and will fight them for the of being let br br brian keith plays the brother who's behind the killing he dreams to have position and respect in running one day br br lee's ambitious wife martha barbara stanwyck secretly hates herself and her stanwyck plays the part of a loving wife who can't bear the touch of her husband's br br edward g robinson is good enough as the crippled owner who promised the whole valley to his wife unaware that she is having an affair with his younger br br foster is too sensitive as the adult daughter well aware of her mother's br br the violent men uses the wide screen technology to emphasize the scope and power of this harrowing action drama making it a perfect example of the most enduring,positive +drab morality tale about a high school kid who's pretty much the now stereotypical nerd he's smart but has no friends no social skills and a lazy loser of a father who borrows money from him a pretty girl hits on him he should've known she wanted something he's supposed to be smart right she the poor desperate fool into writing her term paper on shakespeare which the teacher immediately knows she couldn't have written he loses the girl not that he ever really had her the confidence of his teacher and his college all in one fell blow br br is so silly and desperate for love that he decides to rob some heroin dealers who are running the stuff through the warehouse he works at then maybe the trashy little slut will be impressed and want to marry him sad really sad is such a pathetic and pretty brainless for a supposedly smart guy i mean trying to rob drug dealers has this kid got a screw loose that you stop feeling sorry for him and get the dreadful urge to kick him in the butt instead br br the girl of course tells her boyfriend about the robbery of to her and talks him and his into stealing the money from and company they try to do so and in the process manage to shoot several people the cops show up at the same time and the idiot is dragged away a total disgrace forever i know this thing was towards making teens behave themselves by showing them the consequences of bad behavior but all it really illustrated was the consequences of stupid behavior which is the end of your film career of course goodbye we never really knew ya and thank goodness for that,negative +the detective story is not typical for the matrix universe it is a film noir private eye story with a strong narrator and a very rich feel rich in terms of its visual appeal the scenes the it all the eye br br but what about the story it is interesting even if it feels a little out of place the agents hire a detective to track down he finds out that they tried the approach before but with consequences for the hired detectives still he tries to locate her and eventually succeeds through alice in wonderland references and and chat rooms then things begin to get interesting br br all in all this is a perfectly satisfying short animated movie br br 8 10,positive +is one of most political movies it takes stance strongly against modern day authority status in the life of the common man and how it has estranged men from the nature completely it challenges the whole concept of freedom and wealth in our society br br buy the jungle with all its rules and tries to the chains of the society by escaping it all in to the wilderness of northern only to realize that the concept of a isn't all that in other words the society has the common man by the balls br br still the thing that makes so exceptional besides the visual and brilliance is how it seems to illustrate the whole political atmosphere in in the 70's as well as the whole identity of as a nation is like an of a classical in his and social since nature has always played such an important role in the national identity of us the whole idea of that being slowly taken away by the modern society makes emotionally exceptionally moving,positive +shot entirely on location in the man with the screaming brain is a hilarious love story between two rich ugly american types and a murderous hotel maid gypsy br br william cole and his wife jackie arrive in on a business trip and catch a cab driven by hustler things start to go awry when the maid murders and william and a mad scientist a piece of brain in head robots eventually become involved as do with broken fingers head bruce campbell riding a pink with little and all of me style physical comedy by a character at war with a voice in his brain who controls half of his body br br the man with the screaming brain is an incredibly funny film it has the most hilarious tracking shot i have ever seen when bruce character fresh from the lab and complete with giant and blue hospital runs into a square and scares a crowd of people and a falling down the steps murder scene that had the entire test screening audience screaming laughing the whole thing is a damn riot from beginning to end and i would recommend it to any fan of physical comedy bruce campbell or b movies in general,positive +on one level is a film using a familiar genre the road movie to tell a familiar story curious explores the mysterious east but at its heart the film is about two people a young french beauty bent on experiencing life to the and a driver with bollywood aspirations from vastly different cultures their slowly growing attraction for each other and the beautiful mad chaos that is india today the gap between them can never be but the director succeeds in bringing the two as close to the brink of an affair as possible without the story's india and its people are essential ingredients of the narrative and except for the main characters the roles are played beautifully and by locals during the film's production while on the road between the indian towns and that form the film's setting one major negative for this viewer a chase near the film's conclusion as bent on collecting a gambling debt but the closing scenes where and farewell are poignant and unforgettable,positive +you may be interested to know that was viewed as a failure by the studio and for a year before alice popularity reached such a high that the studio decided to release the film despite the fact that it was never fully completed it ok at the box office br br faye refers to a murder during her nightclub in new york city and this scene was actually in the script and was the way the film was to start instead it is entirely missing and what could have been an exciting sequence including a complete song number by faye was never filmed however the rest of the story is pretty much intact and made release of the film possible at a running time of minutes br br a tired looking warner is too old to be believable as romantic interest and is merely as the broken down reporter audiences today would be offended by the depiction of chinese using english phrases like me make key luke is one of the chinese but plays his role in a low key straightforward way arthur is all but invisible and yet gets fourth billing on screen due to editing changes in the story originally joseph had a role in the film but his part was eventually edited out br br a of a film that will serve as entertainment only for the most die hard alice faye fans who will get a chance to see her in a dramatic role albeit a weak one charles is totally wasted as a kindly man running the american br br despite all the weaknesses there are a couple of scenes involving narrow escapes that are effectively played and karl b w photography is top notch,negative +i happen to have read all of english released manga i watched the film and it was a big steaming pile of turd thankfully actually does justice to the manga i think those who have read the manga will really appreciate this film more as many and camera angles are exactly like in the manga and it is interesting to see how the book characters are played in the film this film reminds me of eerie indiana the ending to the manga which i was expecting looks like her manga counterpart and her male friend suits the whole very well very creepy i have to admit this film feels like a nightmare the kind you have when you were a kid not really scary at all but freaky if you get my drift another great horror from japan get yourself a copy,positive +the sounds in the movie were so mundane and ridiculous seriously on the door for about 30 minutes really your teeth and makes your head hurt br br i love bad more than the next guy but come on no blood on our hands being said about a million times by matt character and when matt character shoots the bum the lead character which i fail to remember his name because i don't really think anyone cares gets blood on his hands literally br br the background music with the heavy metal guitar an a for about 5 minutes isn't my idea of music come on i was having the worst headache by the end of this garbage,negative +there is a difference between a film and a movie a film regardless of quality is ready for public a movie is what a group of friends gets together to make over the course of a weekend with a camcorder in my time as a viewer i have seen may examples of both br br on september 19 i attended a screening of writer director jon now having read the script and having seen two different cuts a rough cut and the finished product of this piece i can safely say it is a movie and a student movie at that it is for lack of a better word competent which is to say the director knew how to push record on a camera and capture moving images the visuals are for the most part static and unimpressive and dialog scenes are reduced to mostly long shots with little to no close up shots to allow the audience to establish a relationship with the characters i understand that this is a budgeted film but some visual flair would have been appreciated and it would have gone a long way toward keeping the audience interested br br granted there have been independent pictures that have shown that limited camera work can be over come with well a well written engrossing story and some sharp dialog steven sex lies and comes immediately to mind this movie however has neither the main story is weak and if the main plot is trying to his relationship with his father then i feel this movie misses the point what i got out of it is that main is to change the face of rock roll however we see very little activity on his part to show this while there is one dream sequence at the beginning and an performance of his at the end all we seem to get are scenes of listening to music or casually a guitar we are simply told that has played a lot of but we never see him in full rock out mode next time show don't tell the audience anyone who has taken a creative writing class knows this also doesn't look like someone that would have been big in the rock era of the 1970's he looks like he'd be more comfortable in the early days of rock roll posing as james less talented brother in the meantime the rest of the movies events seem to happen at random to rather cliché characters and story threads that have little or nothing to do with the slim main story are brought up and abandoned with i e the subplot involving father if i want to see a film with this kind of construction i will consider watching dynamite again a film i could barely make it through the first time br br as for the above mentioned dialog scenes i guess i should mention that they are few and extremely far between is it too much to ask for characters who do speak i don't think it is when the characters do speak it is in short choppy sentences of oh so insightful questions or wildly over the top these characters simply do not behave like normal rational people working with material like this it is easy to understand why there is only one good performance in the film al and that's just because he's doing a poor imitation of sam elliott for his time on screen a good director or at least one who is ready for the challenge of a feature director would have been able to spot these problems and get the writer and camera people to correct them however with being so close to the material he simply doesn't see them or if he does he is unwilling to take the necessary steps to fix them because it'll hurt his creative vision being unable or unwilling to deal with criticism in a manner is the mark of a self indulgent misguided fool just ask rob schneider br br in the end we are left with a poor high school set knock off of amazing garden state combined with the equally amazing two films far more worthy of your time br br now before any of the cast or crew come out of the word work to take me to task for this review allow me to offer this the best i can do is compliment mr for having the ambition to make a film of his own and to put it out there for an audience to see however the hopes that this movie will be picked up and distributed are simply visions of this is a student movie nothing more nothing less if the movie holds any promise and let's face it at this point it isn't going to come from the acting writing or directing it is this if if the people associated with this film are willing then please learn from this movie file it away and use the lessons learned on your next attempt don't attack your critics or have friend or family do it for you if you are able to do this maybe the next one will be worthy of distribution worthy of being called a film br br i am your audience and i am willing to watch,negative +along with his turn in the super sleazy the murders 1978 this is considered the ultimate bad cameron mitchell horror effort it's a little too slow moving for my tastes has zero likable characters in it and not much action until the very end but dedicated central psycho performance as vengeance minded job vincent is fun not anthony good mind you but definitely fun enough as a spoof of the shallow that is hollywood it's only so so as a horror movie it's also only fair and even as just a simple vintage exploitation picture it's just ok i'm a big fan of the unnecessary gratuitous dance sequence so i was also thankful for the appearance of the dancers who just rule five of them do a crazy hair floor hip go go dance routine to don't cry look for the by the t bones watching these ladies around with huge smiles on their faces in their covered bikini top and pants ensemble is a defining reason why i give this a slightly higher rating that usual br br former movie make up man vincent the best since goes after people at studios a flashback shows how max black a jealous and drunk studio executive wine in face right when he was about to light a smoke he's in flames and into a pool but not before up one side of his face and losing an not to mention his sanity now employed by the world famous wax museum in park california vincent uses a special serum described as a mixture of truth serum nerve medicine and special and watch out to victims they disappear and the dense detectives on the case headed by scott brady act as new are put on display in the museum vince talks to himself i'm a terribly nice man chain and describes how he gets excited by the sound of a woman's scream br br he also has to deal with a bunch of back stabbing and self absorbed witches most of whom will deserve what's coming to them there is also nick a inept museum tour guide who sees a blink but doesn't go to the cops aside from max a real grade a jerk who doesn't even die and the stupid cops the other two lead roles are women and both are pretty atrocious marie morgan anne is not your typical innocent heroine this tramp has been engaged to no less that five different characters in this movie including vince max and two of the wax missing male stars i guess she never had time to make a go at the one missing girl for some reason she also begs and in her irritating baby voice for vince to give her a of the head he's of the missing actor and fiancé number 5 tony phillip she doesn't know that vince has already a in the back of his neck but i love it when mitchell agrees with her demands so you can completely for reality he also wants her to for him which means she's eventually held prisoner in a box unfortunately the box has a hole where her head sticks through so we have to continue getting by her high pitched br br the other woman is victoria one of the aforementioned go go girls she's first seen proving she is thoroughly rhythm by on stage in a green bikini is tolerable before she talks but when you realize her grating presence combines the of with the mentality of the sisters you wish vincent would her with the serum as soon as possible unfortunately we're first subjected to a scene of her making endless demands to the studio head and running around in the museum trying to avoid mitchell she and the rest of the characters are completely unsympathetic but function as a way to poke fun at the hollywood system in general i guess and i'm probably giving this movie more credit than it actually deserves the are few and far between but include other than mitchell and the dance routine colorful slightly stylized lighting and a bizarre ending that seems to suggest that will be severely for his crimes by spending the rest of his life in his own personal hell married to marie now that is scary br br also in the cast are director john bud also the production manager as a police sergeant james forrest as a film director frye as a statue martin and kent as a bartender many of the people who worked on this one including executive producer and script writer rex also worked on the al movie blood of castle and other atrocities br br my score 4 out of 10,negative +i consider this film to be a complete masterpiece actually i consider it to be best work and undoubtedly the best of all portuguese movies i don't think you can come across such a zero budget kind of film as impressive and astonishing as this one br br the direction is done with perfection at an incredible fast pace and the music also composed by is mostly excellent the story is creepy and humorous at the same time and it is certainly an advanced study of the old saying misery loves company kind of situations with a mind mystery a more than perfect recipe to the eyes to the screen from frame one to the last br br it's been called neo hitchcock and i'll agree much like the best it kept me guessing during the entire film and most of my were far for what ends up being revealed,positive +steve martin has always had my respect for being a very funny comedian and a pretty good actor and i loved planes trains and and but bringing down the house isn't one of funniest works and it doesn't even seem as if it's trying to be which is just plain sad br br i don't know maybe i didn't like this movie because of the fact that i rented it along with harry potter and the chamber of secrets and phone booth both of which are excellent films or maybe it's because i'm used to so much better from martin or maybe it's just because i'm in a bad mood today regardless this film just wasn't very funny or entertaining and i never managed more than a smile or a weak chuckle at the film's gags which is really a shame since the previews of this comedy were so promising i was expecting bringing down the house to be an all out comedy bash and i certainly expected more slapstick comedy and inter racial laughs from martin instead we're to seeing queen all over the screen trying to do her best with her totally uninspired character the funniest thing in this is eugene levy but even he doesn't get the screen time he deserves br br i would've really liked to enjoy bringing down the house but i didn't and i'd find it very difficult to recommend it to anyone but the most die hard steve martin fans skip this one and rent planes trains and instead br br you'll have a much better time,negative +from the beginning of the film i found myself laughing trying to keep quiet so i did not wake anyone in the house this didn't continue so much throughout the rest of the film i didn't find everything completely laugh out loud funny but still i found certain things quite funny at the beginning i had to hold in laughter when he drops the very looking hand down his then there are scenes where you will just smile like when the falls through a roof into apartment i can see that being quite funny but in todays days and time that has been done quite a lot it didn't feel original though at the time i'm sure it was i loved bursts of raging german with the nice subtle english translation br br the final scene is wildly discussed because well it's absolutely true and so very intelligently constructed though the film is sixty eight years old the final scene is still relevant today if this doesn't show how great a writer chaplin is then i don't know what will the acting in this scene in particular was quite good the the message perfectly and makes you realise the serious nature of the film at the same time enjoying the humorous side br br another element about this film is the fact that this was such a brave film that almost feels ahead of it's time of course chaplin did not know what was going to happen after 1940 he was not aware of the holocaust obviously he's also gone on record as to saying if he had of known he would not of made this film the fact this film is so anti hitler is interesting it's more interesting that it wasn't anti germany which would be very easy to have done back in those times chaplin could of easily made this a propaganda film but instead did something more he made an honest film br br i recommend anyone remotely interested in this film to see it as well those who has studied or is studying hitler and wwii to watch this film it's entertaining to say the least it doesn't have an annoying out dated feel that some films of the time did unlike most comedies this film actually has a message it tries to bring to you watch this film you will be better off for having seen it,positive +with such a promising cast and a director that i have heard great things about i was utterly disappointed by this film it started off with signs of a great epic gangster tale and turned into a completely muddled mess with many unanswered questions and some completely ridiculous and pointless scenes and yes i did watch the full length version i love robert deniro and as usual he did a fine acting job but in all his other gangster films no matter how many people he kills i always still had respect for his character but in this movie he was a drug addict rapist with no care for anyone but himself also james woods another fine actor had some completely ridiculous scenes written for him i thought the parts where robert deniro called him crazy and he out came completely out of left field and towards the end the writers just throw in this random comment about how his father died in a nut house and that's why james woods didn't like being called crazy so much was left undeveloped in this movie also we never find out who the men are in the beginning that are trying to kill and we never find out more about joe character it seems that the writers threw together about five different stories and never fully explained any of them the only redeeming quality of the film was the story when the characters were young kids the story ran smoothly in this part of the movie and the kids did a great acting job overall i was thoroughly disappointed by this movie and i don't see how anyone can even compare this to the godfather 1 and 2 or even i am sad that i wasted four hours of my life watching this film,negative +i really enjoyed this movie in my dvd collection of baseball movies reminded me how great the sport truly is whether it's here in america or japan,positive +this is one of the movies having made significant influence on me as a person the sound tracks are best and the performance is excellent just a great movie for ever to time limit just for the entire live you must have in your collection this is one of the movies having made significant influence on me as a person the sound tracks are best and the performance is excellent just a great movie for ever to time limit just for the entire live you must have in your collection this is one of the movies having made significant influence on me as a person the sound tracks are best and the performance is excellent just a great movie for ever to time limit just for the entire live you must have in your collection,positive +magnificent original beautiful movie the acting is great the settings en are superb paris at its best but then the real paris not the famous settings and the music will do also a brilliant very detailed which i just very much love br br the best french movie i've seen and french cinema is very good,positive +this film fails on many many levels the script is the first failing and as i understand it if the script stinks there's nothing that can fix that the plot is boring after the first 45 minutes i'm looking at the counter on the dvd saying to myself how much longer the cinematography is pretty awful i'm not sure how bad the transfer was to dvd but it looked like a vhs copy also the sound was bad i realize this isn't going to get for 5 1 but it didn't even sound like it was in which had been around for almost a decade when they cut this film br br was far too similar to both mad max and blade runner for comfort because of the lack of decent special effects and high quality dialog it is extremely disappointing if i recall the scene took place during the last 20 minutes usually it should take place in the first 20 most people will be totally confused as to what the heck is going on until the final 20 minutes br br the film's music was excellent in parts and then completely inappropriate in others elmer did the but it sounds like someone else had a hand in sticking in stuff elsewhere as it doesn't match the overall good score with some music br br there were great actors cast bob peck mark ben kingsley bill paxton and they did a great job breathing the little available life into their characters well character was pretty stupid and the whole movie was centered on him i'm not sure a heroic is a good choice for the main character who carries the film again a major flaw with the script br br thank goodness i watched this from a mail order dvd service and not the theater overall a major disappointment for sci fi fans or fans of paxton or 90 minutes of your life you'll never get back,negative +not all movies are oscar worthy but let's face it sometimes these types of movies are more fun to watch and leave a longer and lasting impression this one left me smiling and happy and i couldn't wait to hug my own son anyone who has had a pet no matter what type knows what it feels like to lose one i believe most people would identify with buddy almost losing his best friend who he raised from birth bruce willis was great as the turned nice guy and joey lauren adams was convincing as a good mother the little boy who played buddy had a face and his sister and friend edgar played terrific roles liked the movie a lot and it was something the whole family could enjoy thanks,positive +this movie is hilarious i would say much more painful disgusting than the previous movie the entire cast from the previous movie series is present br br these kind of movies are great to watch in the cause the whole audience is crying with laughter especially at the terrorist part that was damn disgusting i wish they made more of these kind of movies br br strong stomach required they got some insane stunts this time around warning includes a lot of snakes i would love to write about it but i just can't spoil the fun go see it,positive +i thought choke had potential but i thought it could have been a much better film it had some interesting twists and turns but some of them seemed kind of pointless when showing background on the two main characters some of that really seemed to go awry most of it was sort of useless and didn't help the movie at all this was also not dennis finest hour however the main saving grace of this movie for me was michael madsen his performance was excellent in this movie he almost makes mr blonde look like a nice guy all in all it was watchable still i was left thinking some things could have been done differently these things would have made the movie much better in my opinion,negative +jordan takes us into the seedy crime side of sydney australia following the desperate attempt of year old jimmy heath ledger who a job for a local gangster and needs to make before they get to him the gangsters led by bryan brown are a menacing bunch with a humorous streak in them that's what makes the film work because we always view gangsters as a rough bunch out to screw you badly but this mob your funny bone as well a clever structured script by jordan has characters crossing paths and getting caught in the web plot,positive +many other viewers are saying that this is not a good movie to watch since they feel that it isn't realistic how can it not be considered realistic they feel that say the incest part isn't easy to relate to that it isn't common i can guarantee you that you have met more people than you think that have had an incest act occur many of them aren't going to come out and say it and mostly these are victims also many people are gay and are still in the closest because no matter how much they would like it to be they know they will be and possibly even abandoned and tell me how many kids have you went to high school with that has ended up being pregnant or had an eating disorder i bet a lot and although isn't from incest most of the time its still easy to relate to who can't relate to being an or being that happens all the time and many viewers are probably concerned with there education such as marcus being a seems to be quite common these days to so there are a lot of things to relate to more than the rest though no matter how popular you may get sometimes you feel invisible or alone not noticed or overlooked such as the suicide victim how can you not feel like you can relate to the movie i find that the movie may have seemed pointless to others but i would like to think of it as important it an interesting way of showing that suicide happens and to be aware it comes from the people that don't show their unhappy thoughts its very surprising the people who show there problems do commit suicide sometimes to but when you hear of suicide who would have guessed is usually running through most peoples minds br br the ending surprised me i wasn't expecting it to be the girl that until the end was mostly an extra in the scenes not even introduced the story even in its description says its about 6 teenage lives when in fact it was 7 my only real disappointment was that it wasn't one of the characters that we got to learn about it merely at first seems like the movie was pointless to watch if the real victim is just some random chick until i thought more it made perfect sense for being a huge surprise since thats what are like plus who was to choose who any of the other students had more of a reason than the other br br though this movie has some bad points most movies have a few but i would recommend this movie as long as you can deal with watching the tragic moments of watching the suicide and violence and profanity shown in this film,positive +this movie simply does not work the action scenes were shot to look stylish but just come out looking sloppy seagal barely fights and a lot of his scenes are shot from the back if you look in some of the scenes it is not even him but a 100 lighter stunt double the movie is just all around bad,negative +this movie is truly worth seeing robin excels and henry thomas proves that he's one of those the child who grows up to become a real actor the characters are perfectly drawn and in the wrong hands because of their depth they could have been unconvincing but all the actors are simply astounding the cast of this movie has to rank up there with that of girl interrupted both movies star the brilliant duvall the score and music fit perfectly and there is plenty of action to prevent the movie becoming just a character study if you want the story you won't find it in this review but i will say that the climax will haunt you for a long time,positive +having seen only once and in the dawn hours i can't seem to forget this haunting film a mix of mystery suspense and heartbreaking romance it reminds me of vertigo the actors though not that well known are good especially joan in one of her best performances you believe in her in her love in her quest for freedom brought by her love and in the end in her overwhelming pain the plot is ingenious and compelling and does not stretch credibility the direction and technical stuff certainly could be better but they do not compromise the overall effect and it has one message don't let revenge blind you you can became its last victim a real pity it has not been remade but perhaps it is a period piece better left alone,positive +this was a modest attempt at a film though it appeared more like a tv pilot extended br br some may find this unfair but it looks like someone saw the brothers and save the last dance and thought hey i could do that too well not quite br br while i personally found the movie predictable somewhat poorly acted and contrived watch for the carl payne shows that he can carry off a lead role and should be back on television the leading lady can't remember her name sorry was plausible too but you keep thinking of julia stiles she was the one in save the last dance right because this one was really stuck in white girl mode,negative +first the an excellent job at depicting urban landscapes to suit the mood of the film some of the shots could be paintings by de sophie beautiful br br the the stories are hard to believe unreal dimensional characters and 100 of the time as if they were in some kind of this is neither the antonioni of his earlier much better movies nor the we've all come to know and appreciate is excess in this movie,positive +this is a low grade cold war propaganda film crossed with a it may have some long term significance as a of 1950s us thinking but there is little else to in the storyline wooden acting and grating style there are some interesting photos of long gone aircraft but that was not enough for even this aircraft to leave it on the screen for the full length,negative +wow is all i could say i really loved the movie and one thing i could say to aaron carter is that i really think that you should be in a lot more movies cause you rock i love aaron carter so much hes hot and so i say thank you a lot for making this movie great i really do so wish he would be able to make a lot more movies because he his a great dancer actor and singer i so wish i could sing as good as he could and i've been a fan of his for like ever and i will never ever stop loving him i rented the movie and i've had it for two days and literally watched it over like 10 times laugh out loud you could call me crazy but that just proves that i liked it a lot if u wanna talk you can hit me up at com so e mail me if you wanna i love you aaron carter,positive +this b w film reached the movie house of my village about 18 months after its release in those days much of our full length comedy fare from anyone so this movie struck like a it had me with helpless as we'd now put it ok so some of the sight gags were in fact recycled vaudeville but how was this boy with of to know that at the time in any case my favorite scenes had unique brand of frantic like that hawaii boxing match br br seeing sailor beware again fifty years later i still at the goings on granted without the nostalgia it would probably be just another fair to comedy but then another movie that once had me in even more the spike jones outing save my child now seems dated and stilted apart from some too short orchestra bits and weaver scenes must be some special that makes martin lewis product stay longer to me this one at least rates eight out of ten,positive +this is the best of the films so far that christopher guest has created using his very talented ensemble cast previously they'd made the excellent waiting for and following best in show they made the very enjoyable a mighty wind as for their latest for your consideration the less said the better br br the film appears to be a documentary about dog shows and several contestants in particular you follow these few chosen dogs from pre show all the way to the big night where one of them is chosen best in show at the club however none of these people are real dog show but talent actors that parody many of the common types of people you meet in the dog show world amazingly even though the characters are rather outlandish there is a lot of truth to the personalities they are as decades ago i had some experience with dog shows and this is a very group of people my favorites of the dog owners were the incredibly high pressure and tense couple who just anger and i also loved the openly gay couple as they were terribly funny and clever however the best performance probably wasn't from any of the couples but from fred who played the world's stupidest and least talented in human history his comments were uniformly inane and often betrayed his as an incredibly stupid person how he got to be the for such a show is anyone's guess the other contestants featured were also quite funny the high professional and its rich owner the country boy and his as well as parents who could barely together enough to make it to the show br br despite the improvised style of film making the pieces all fit together wonderfully and told a very funny and compelling story one that is not for dog owners only exceptional acting made this one of the best comedies of the last decade clever and consistently funny br br by the way try to find this on dvd as the extras were actually worth seeing while a bit painful to watch i loved seeing pepper and his beach ball collection in particular,positive +did people expect jurassic park 3 to be full of surprises not one moment of it is worth it many elements could easily scare people out of the movies and it's not the tea i think she's a great actress but i'm sorry to say that this time she reached the bottom line i wonder if she happened to strain a vocal while shooting the movie laura dern she's ok but why not be more noticeable in the movie maybe exchange smart dialogs with sam neil have you ever heard of something called facial expression emotions he's got to work harder on that sam neil no big deal the soundtrack got to change that record or you get tired of it my applause goes to william h macy a talented actor who i've never seen playing a bad role unfortunately he can't save the movie nor can the well computer created dinosaurs,negative +folks i'm not going to lie to you is a one or two hit wonder but what a film it almost excuses suspect zero i'm also not going to pretend to understand it completely half of what makes it what it is is trying to second guess what the hell they are doing on the screen because of the br br richard says it is as if a cult had re for real three bible stories creation the and torture and death on that's not a bad description but there seems to be more to it than the seemingly one to one religious br br there's an theme right up near the surface note that toward the end after the of the landscape there are large not unlike those on a construction site oh no he's going to say look at how people are mother nature one rarely sees a dead metaphor in action and with this much but to see it acted out is way than language implies br br and yeah if you just want something to sync with a death metal soundtrack it does have the requisite atrocities but as for myself and others like me it's an important art film that should merit a collection release ranks right up there with br br ray,positive +isn't it strange how crap movies always tend to be a little better when you start watching them with an attitude like boy this is going to suck harder than few things have ever sucked before it's pretty much impossible for anyone to rent this movie with high – or even remotely positive expectations as house of the dead 2 is a sequel to something that is generally considered to be one of the absolute worst genre disasters ever to be released the abysmal reputation of the original actually turned out to be a great advantage for director michael as it was really easy to the quality level of its predecessor and exactly how embarrassing must this be for uwe boll huh having to acknowledge that a straight to video sequel without star power or is much better than his own pretentious video game interpretation in case anyone still doubts no house of the dead 2 dead aim isn't a good horror movie at all but yes it's definitely better than the first and even worth renting in case you're looking for an splatter film with loads of gory sleaze and stupid humor there's no real connection with the events in the first film another advantage and this part two opens like a typically sex comedy set in a college campus the male club plans to attack a house inhabited exclusively by blond with enormous breasts but the party gets interrupted when an insane professor sid who runs his car over a girl and takes her back to his lab to turn her into a zombie this is the beginning of a quickly and deadly but no as the government is prepared and sends their best scientists soldiers to the campus to search for survivors and to bring back blood for an hunting down zombies seems like the most common thing in the world for this they even named them hyper but their constantly increasing amount eventually the lives of the most hardened soldiers director thankfully found his inspiration in the more classics of the genre like james aliens and – of course george a romero's dead trilogy particularly day of the dead he luckily also didn't made the same mistakes as uwe boll who inserted footage of the actual video game in his movie why and slightly exaggerated with the use of cgi techniques 2 contains heavy images of violence like chopped up female corpses and detailed but it never really becomes nauseating or shocking naturally there's isn't the slightest bit of suspense to enjoy and every dreadful horror cliché features here as well the film is very enjoyable as long as story writer mark altman doesn't try to explain the origins of the zombie they're walking corpses with their brains hanging out of their so we really don't need to know what caused their deaths especially not when the explanations are given by a blond slut who clearly hasn't got a clue what all the medical terms mean just avoid getting bitten sweetheart,negative +rabbit is one of three cartoons that feature bugs bunny duck elmer in a war of words and wits about whether it's rabbit season or duck season love bugs and stirring up trouble with always the victim of shotgun resulting with his always getting then there's the cross dressing that always gets elmer in his love struck mode chuck jones and michael are always favorites of mine in the writer director team category because of these hilarious hunting trilogy cartoons i've laughed at since i was a kid and at least two of them end with to bugs you're despicable can't get better that that,positive +first of all this movie is so confused that it is almost impossible to it since i myself did not understand this horrible story further the unknown cast by an actress called laura is simply awful the expressions and screams of the character sara are laughable and ridiculous confusing with acting last but not the least there are many reviews about this flick in imdb as follows br br top notch can't wait to see more of the directors work – the author has only one review in imdb on 24 september 2004 br br incredibly shot amazingly intense – the author has only one review in imdb on 12 august 2004 br br not your typical blood and gore in fact better 7 10 – the author has only one review in imdb on 13 2005 br br as intense as asian horror the author has only one review in imdb on 14 november 2004 br br coincidence or are they the parents relatives friends or people hired by the production to promote this crap my vote is three br br title brazil 11 11 – a 11 11 – the new prophecy,negative +i got hold of this film on dvd with the title evil never sleeps it gives front cover billing to carrie ann moss but she plays such a minor character that i didn't really notice her in the film br br i'm afraid that i consider this one of the worst i have ever made the dialogue was stilted and the delivery wooden i found the acting to be from the plot performance to me was of someone who's wondering whether she's left the gas on at home br br all in all both my wife and i found this film painful to watch and it is not a valuable addition to my collection watch it at your peril but spending 90 minutes having your pulled out would probably be a better way to spend your time,negative +do the writers that up these type of comedies have such empty lives that they have to them in tragic shows like this br br why the talented and gorgeous busy phillips is amongst this trash is beyond me i cannot stand the hispanic girl whose accent sounds very fake and is so unfunny and annoying as is the other african american girl with the shrill voice br br the jokes are often stupid the jewish guy yells a lot and the show never goes anywhere one particular episode with the looking for love was just terrible br br i don't believe there would be that many working in a looking for love office and only one man of course all of the woman are in tight fitting tops and tons of make up to make up for their lack of talent br br i actually found holly funny in her older shows and i have always admired busy but this show is dumb empty and had nothing going for it,negative +my blue heaven is boring the plot is insipid the characterizations and dialogue stink the musical numbers while occasionally staged in interesting ways are not only too often absurd but also trite painfully bright and emotionally hollow to the core the leads betty and dan are attractive professionals however in spite of their every talented effort to the and material they fail david wayne and jane for all their demonstrated talent in other projects are more or less here br br there's really only one reason to watch my blue heaven one reason one star in her film debut her total screen time is probably less than ten minutes but so what her and promising screen personality her beauty and her exceptional charisma shine through and make these minutes the most watchable memorable and exciting moments in the entire film if you would value an opportunity to see a tremendous young talent on the rise then check out miss in my blue heaven br br incidentally i and would urge you to avoid drew manic obsessive dvd commentary for this film frequently ill timed with what is playing on the screen and throughout with an excess of nervous energy his comments are absolutely,negative +this is a great example of what could have been a great film and a great idea but turned out to be really bad in the process i was mainly tempted to get this because of the dvd cover stupid me but i did anyway and i was blown away in a bad sense this movie is essentially about el havoc around los angeles and it's up to a local animal cop and a writer to save the day before two corrupt cops and two evil scientists bring them down the main reason why i did not enjoy this film was because of big continuity errors that were hard to not notice along with some bad acting okay lighting and nothing scary this movie did not hit me as much as is it probably should have however compared to other movies this one certainly tops the just barely br br first off the continuity in this movie is way off and i mean off the shoulders and into the there were so many points were the characters said or did something and then in the next shot they aren't doing it or the change never occurred case in point the main character has a gun the attacks he out a flair from nowhere and and the gun in missing the girl runs while he here with the mystery flair and she had no gun then the main character is running with the girl and has the gun where did the flair come from and what happened to the gun the time of day gets screwed up one minute it is sun set and you can still see the sun and then the next minute it looks like midnight there were some plot holes as in why was the there what were the scientists doing what happened to this guy and why did he shoot the animal and it still lived these things the heck out of me and none of the questions were answered br br next on the list is the acting boy was it wooden and bad the main character played by eric seems a bit too calm at points and too dedicated to finding out what killed a few dogs and when a tragedy hits his emotion was just not there madison who played did a fairly poor job she was the author of a book about the and she just didn't seem into her role or her performance her acting was kind of laughable and a poor even for an author she knows too much about that thing and knows how to a high security defense system in a hidden laboratory tony was okay but he seemed a bit to calm for some of the stuff that was going on the movie reminds me of a bad to murder for some crime solving show where the actors and actresses aren't really that committed to their work br br i rarely don't get this when it comes to lighting or editing but for this movie i could not help but be harsh on the lighting it took me out of the movie a number of times because the lighting was so poorly directed there were times when they were trying to be creative by adding color to the scene to make it more comic but it the worse part is at night when it is black outside but the scene is so with light it seems like its day they keep switching from high intensity light to soft light for random scenes and the lights seem so bright that the actors were it shouldn't be that bright that there are dark shadows at night during the sunset when the lighting was perfect that's the only time when the light was good other than that it was terrible br br there were not scares in this film there was only one time where i did jump but other than that it wasn't scary there were points were it probably could have been scary but it was so damn light out you could see the approach the man but if it was dark it would have been better even the creature design for the was poor it looked good but it was a short man or kid in a jump suit they didn't hide his face they showed him with no sense of mystery or any enigmatic appearance there was a fair amount of gore but it seemed unreal this movie just wasn't scary that's all br br overall they did a great south american legend into a blood human eater which the isn't in fact it was scared of people and it only killed sheep dogs and deer because it was said that it hated the smell of humans but then were would the story be i did not enjoy this film for any reason but i will give them credit for trying to make a good film with good intentions i would not recommend this film to any horror fan but if you like indie or b movies you should check this out also if you are easily tempted by cult classics you'd enjoy this film i didn't i won't see it again but in some deep way i enjoy these kinds of movie just to see what the other side of hollywood is making,negative +this is what they came up with for prop comedian first feature film br br a stupid dude an r d enterprise from an old jack warden things go less than but get much worse when the company is threatened with a hostile attempt by corrupt corporate the most implausible thing about this movie is that smart girl smith would find this red headed step child fascinating in the least but then he just inherited millions moments include comic larry miller drinking sweat from a plastic cup br br funny comedy try un funny toilet humor and that's exactly where this belongs in the toilet twice,negative +okay so i went into this loving i still love him her but think a little less this is one gross movie that shows a lot of male this is a spoof of the 1970s black exploitation films and is done badly the only fun part about it for me is that all of the voices have been with those of drag queens even the voices of real women this is over an the top laugh your rear end off it is so stupid badly made movie i would never watch this again but i do appreciate what the film makers were trying to do there is no rating on this but it would be r or even 17 has done much better work,negative +the evil that men do begins with a truly torture scene followed a little later by graphic verbal of equally torture methods that the sadistic heartless villain likes to use but despite the use of such strictly for shock effects the filmmakers can't really cover up the fact that this is just a dull low grade bronson vehicle bronson himself is solid here but he should have chosen a better script,negative +go to the video store and get the original i do not understand why hollywood has that need to take a perfect foreign movie and remake it mostly martha or martha has a much better cast beginning with the heroine who convinced me much more in the role of the work obsessed than the more famous catherine zeta jones to the italian cook and the niece suddenly of her mother and forced to live with an aunt not fit for child br br in many ways the american version of the movie is a copy of the german original they just the actors however they also changed the story because it would have been difficult and not very believable to a father for the little girl in an american context br br i was thinking about that maybe the father could have been puerto or cuban or mexican well there are so many guest workers in the u s take your pick but i doubt that any of them would have shown up to shoulder the responsibility as the italian father did in the original therefore the american movie leaves that part out but keeps the italian cook and by doing this the whole story changes in the original martha is so removed from reality that she thinks it is okay to send her niece off with a complete stranger in a foreign country br br the american martha is and therefore the movie is and does not have that edge the german movie has br br in the original the italian cook is not so good looking but much more charming the little girl is more of a brat but much more believable and martha is more representative of a career woman in today's world than the watered down version we are presented in the american version and the whole opera music in the american version was very annoying i loved the italian songs in the original and bought the cd br br hollywood recognized that mostly martha was a great movie maybe the distribution companies should have put it in more theaters or it should have been shown in english without subtitles in any case the original is so much better by the way this reminds me of another remake shall we dance is one of my favorites in the original japanese version and totally forgettable in the american version,negative +dean book is one of the finest books i have read sadly the movie is a sad caricature of the book the middle aged hero and the lonely with whom he finds a meaning to his life are converted in the movie into a couple of silly teenagers the stoic security agent and the sheriff are combined into a villain you get the picture the have taken a moving tale of love horror and adventure and converted it into a z grade horror flick aimed very poorly at the teen market br br buy the book and enjoy many hours of reading it will be far far more rewarding than watching the movie br br,negative +pitch black is a surprisingly good movie i was not a fan of before i saw pitch black but after seeing pitch black my respect for has gone up he did a great job playing a man wanted for many murders his character is cold and makes many decisions that surprised me like near the end was going to get on the ship and save his own ass leaving everyone behind to die i like this movie and how it deals with human instinct this movie is low budget but this movie goes to show you don't need amazing special effects and lots of money to make a good movie i think all the characters made this movie i give this movie 8 out of 10,positive +it's the single thing i ever watched it's sad how he tries so hard to come up with a good joke and all he does is curse and thinks his disgusting is funny he is the most bitter person i ever saw his whole act he is trying to show how much he doesn't care and by that only showing how much he's angry at the critics and the people with any taste and sense of humor who'd rather go through immense torture than go watch his show there are good comedians there are bad ones and there are horrible ones but this guy is in a league of his own i feel sorry for him and even more for the people who find him funny,negative +the black castle is one of those film's that has found its way into a boris karloff collection and is expected to be an outright horror movie whilst some horror elements exist within nathan movie this really is a multi genre piece that's tightly produced and effectively portrayed joining karloff in what is a small but critical role are richard greene stephen jr rita john michael it's produced out of universal international pictures the plot sees english gentleman travel to the castle home of the sinister count von bruno he's following an investigation into the disappearance of two friends an investigation that is with danger and surprise at every turn br br this has everything that fans of the old dark house castle sub genre could wish for genuine good and bad guys a fair maiden dark for doing dark deeds traps clock finale and we even get a good old fashioned bit of into the bargain the cast are all turning in effective performances particularly greene and the wonderfully whilst jerry writing is lean and devoid of the pointless filler that has so often down similar film's of this a very recommended film on that karloff fans understand it's not really a karloff movie and perhaps more importantly that horror fans don't expect blood letting to be the order of the day a fine atmospheric story with a sense of dread throughout the black castle is a fine viewing experience 7 10,positive +charlie wilson two time oscar winner tom hanks is a easy going who loves to party enjoys the company of woman and especially drinking his booze when charlie's old friend and ex girlfriend oscar winner julia roberts wants charlie to visit afghanistan which that country certainly need of help charlie is shocked of what he seen especially from all different ages are killed or hurt from this war with the russians he decides to help the people and the rebels to fight the russians who started the war charlie and one cia agent by the name of oscar winner philip seymour hoffman will start a good fight to bring the largest operation in history br br directed by oscar winner mike the regarding henry wolf made an lively entertaining sharp satire war comedy that is based on a true story hanks roberts hoffman in a oscar nominated performance and amy adams as charlie's loyal assistant are very good in their roles despite the excellent true life premise charlie war never really catches fire and it is not as funny as you liked it to be director and screenwriter aaron a few good men keeps things moving and the characters are well liked throughout br br dvd has an sharp pan 1 33 1 transfer and an good digital 5 1 surround sound dvd's only special features are the behind the scenes with the cast crew and a real life with charlie wilson and others charlie war is a good movie that could have been really great but it's not but this movie is smart enough to please for those who enjoyed well written or well acted adult comedies 1 2 out of,positive +i rented this movie with my friend for a good laugh we actually got laughed at by the clerk at the video store because of our questionable movie tastes unfortunately i don't remember the first half of the movie because all i did was stare at the giant metal jane wore and i didn't hear anything either due to the incomprehensible the other thing that was able to grasp my attention besides her metal mouth was her questionable fashion sense this movie was made in 2005 but it seems like the wardrobe people jumped all the way back to 2000 for the clothes if you remember the days when aaron carter was considered a and you like high and length then this little trip down memory lane is perfect for you,negative +i watched all of the doctor who episodes that my local station played while growing up got introduced to the doctor by way of john pertwee as well as camera copies of doctor who sent to america by uk fans to their us counterparts i had a great time w the show but it never seemed to take itself seriously i mean as seriously as a sci fi show about a time could be i went to the cons did the costume bit doctor 5 6 and were my costume characters loved it then it all came to a sudden halt program politics and lack of interest and funding turned doctor who into a old that into the br br when i heard that the sci fi channel had picked up the new doctor my first thought was cool now my 11 year old son can see what i've been on about all these years and know what the heck a is i have several phone boxes and of various around the house i didn't expect the excellent quality of story character development and f x i was to say the least pleased for the first time i found a doctor that wasn't a a clown a a trip head a or a jerk christopher is by far the most believable doctor to date now now calm down tom baker fans don't get me wrong i loved almost every doctor and his quirks but christopher gave something to the doctor that he'd never had before real word believability i'm just sad that he decided against another season i'll try out david as i would any other doctor but now the bar has br br bad wolf rules br br 2008 update i love david his persona is something that my generation remembers my son's generation can deal with and fashion can relax he's a little more human than christopher but not as as other former doctors i miss rose i dig martha and what were they thinking with donna noble it's still the best ride on tv,positive +i was excited to see this show when i started seeing the on a e i've been fascinated with ghosts and the since i was a kid and love catching ghost hunters when it's on scifi channel i've tried to watch three episodes of state and only use up my time commenting on it because it's so bad and the notion that anyone who believes in the is a freak state is beyond cheesy cheesy director's voice overs that will leave you wishing for captain kirk cheesy going into commercial breaks that are taken completely out of context everything on this show is automatically assumed to be evil and the work of a demonic spirit then come the like in you almost expect the team to leave and say this house is clear i very much appreciate the ghost hunters approach where they go in to claims then take away what they can and they are almost always to the client if they find anything that haunted does not equal evil state is not so bad it's good it's just plain bad didn't a e used to stand for arts entertainment the art part has long been gone and the entertainment factor is now as well,negative +i couldn't help but laugh when i saw what the public could be made to think was email back in 1996 apparently email is an discussion similar to a chat with lame voice reading every comment out loud and some of the other tech aspects are also laugh out loud funny i'd swear the high tech centre she has actually has a few 64 in it almost like watching the movie nowadays i guess br br despite the fact that for most of the movie the lead actress carries off the illusion of being disabled the final part of the movie has an unexplained use of her legs which somehow i can't ignore i mean why include something so stupid br br anyway to sum up the plot is pretty predictable the acting bad the killer quite but it can be amusing in a mystery science theatre 3000 kind of way i guess,negative +take a look at those faces alongside the entrance to the jail they're not the faces of hollywood extras somebody in production was really smart to take filming to because you can't get that kind of authenticity from a studio scope out the narrow dusty roads the frozen earth beneath and the trees just barely hanging on no wonder those faces look hard and they're just the from which they spring old man lucas better fear for his life but then he springs from that same hard earth br br the movie works because it tells a good story that neither nor and even has some suspense old man lucas is not very likable he's a victim and we sympathize but he's also and wisely the script refuses to him up that way we're forced to recognize the effects of racism and injustice on even the less sympathetic the script also wisely avoids dealing directly with racism since that tends to become preachy and less effective instead we're shown how easily prejudice can convict an innocent man and him to a horrible death so it's through our common instinct to see justice done that the effects of racism are exposed a much more effective it also makes the actions of the sheriff and the lawyer more understandable since they are otherwise part of the jim crow system br br note how the movie doesn't attack it's that old man lucas would want to mix with whites anyway and there's no hint that even lawyer stevens brian wants to cross the color line except to see justice done no the possibility of lies in the future as by the kid whose head is not yet filled with notions he's not exactly friends with lucas but he has the common humanity of being after falling into the frozen creek the last line of dialogue also shows him with his uncle the lawyer instead of his more parents the dinner table scene is important and easily overlooked the lawyer might not join a future civil rights march but the kid might that's the movie's realistically hopeful side br br there was a bunch of themed movies during this brief 3 year period 1949 the well no way out home of the brave lost boundaries even detached mgm got into the mix with this little gem unfortunately the mccarthy in hollywood put an end to problem films that might not serve cold war ends even so each of these is worth catching up with not only because they're good movies but because even with the passage of 60 years and jim crow they're still relevant,positive +first off i'm an american i haven't seen any comments on imdb about this series yet from a u s viewer secondly i work in the television business in development so i in much of the that comes out of american broadcast programming unit one is an example of television that's a to what i would as '70s style scripting feature wise namely those films made by young who had free to make the dramas feel more realistic and to allow for character development it more along the lines of stellar british dramas like cracker and prime suspect as well as brilliant unit one features stand alone cases that are committed then solved each week the mysteries aren't extraordinary or particularly they usually center around one single twist in generally at the 40 minute mark and resolution is neatly wrapped up in the 15 minutes thereafter what makes this series a breath of fresh air is that it features main characters that you are hooked on and find by episode 2 these are real breathing alive characters that have personal yet it's not a talky type of that american such as or desperate out these are realistic individuals whose unfold over the course of the series as if you work with them on a daily basis after the mindless decade of and criminal minds along with their subsequent it's refreshing to actually sit down to watch friends you want to spend time with as is the case with unit one the banter the wooden dialogue and the over the top that those american series i mentioned us with each week are absurd compared to the nuance and the quiet you get with this remarkable danish series i'm on episode 7 of the first season but i've already bought all four seasons and am in for the long if you need explosions and up along with music by the who and fast cutting lit action with like main characters as your main of television drama viewing i suggest you stay away from this series if you are an adult with a for subtle poignant thoughtful and yes sometimes straight forward crime dramas i urge you to check this show out,positive +this is wes craven at his worst this is the very worst horror if you can call it horror you will ever watch from one of the masters of horror wes craven poor direction poor acting poor set poor atmosphere makes this the biggest pile of rubbish ever the bad guy is totally unconvincing you couldn't even feel sorry for the guy the gore and horror involved in the film is laughable it's just plain rubbish the only good points i can think of is it stars natasha wagner and lance but not even that cast could stop this from out of control and into one of the worst horrors ever if you still ain't watch it yet don't bother you'll only hate it,negative +most of other reactions by to this service were very apt although that some found it slow or ambiguous puzzled me rather than ambiguous it was complex and multi layered in its meanings one can see it as anti war because of the opening and closing scenes and the of as how wonderful the men looked as they prepared for the great charge at with its so horrible and disturbing conclusion when we see the bloody uniforms the dead etc but i see the film as about a moral man in an society at the end chooses from the corrupt post french world and for the simple pleasures provided by who himself is saved by his recognition of basic decency and the morality of his choice of white bread cheese some wine and over the he leaves to his wife and her and in her case we can see the film as also feminist in the position of women at that time in which the only weapons has are her charm beauty and ultimately money,positive +i would have given this film a one star vote had it not been for the laughs i got out of it some of the dialogs were just plain so lame that they make you laugh how could some one have actually talked like this not to mention the fact that the bodyguard antonio jr flew a like a pro and michael team of were able to dig a filled with and blow up a huge in the nick of time did anyone notice the lame tribute to fantasy island with the guy saying boss the plane to michael just as the comes in sight br br the only saving grace were the cute girls and even female not to mention that the main deserved to die the lame death that he did for being such a joker imagine escaping from being tied up just to shot by a hello br br the poor pilot probably died in the plane while everyone was eating and having just for laughs they should make a sequel to show us how they all spend the night in the midst of a category 3 on did i hear michael calling it the best honeymoon resort in the pacific now that would make an interesting movie,negative +i am trying to find somewhere to purchase a dvd vhs copy of the movie isn't it shocking i was 7 years old when i saw this movie and i lived in the town where it was filmed a couple of items from my family were used in the movie as props and a couple of my friend's homes were used in a couple of the scenes the filming pretty well took place in the town and surrounding community i have only seen the film once originally and i would like to get a copy so now i can show my family the film i have done extensive online with not luck and i was wondering if anyone would have any ideas on trying to get a copy of this movie,positive +i really liked this picture because it realistically dealt with two people in love and one of them having a disorder though the ending me i know that that was the best way for it to finish off i would this to everyone,positive +i loved the movie i loved timothy dalton and the movie had many different locations in it i really liked when ann realized she could not make love her and when scarlett and ann where together and ann for taking and scarlett just told her not to worry she would get him back it had a great story it told you just can not compare it to it just has so many great scenes i love both scarlett and of course do not forget to have a handy,positive +i think south park is hilarious and i have no problem w them taking shots at people on the left but you'd think that after taking a whole movie to attack celebrities for their careers taking on an illegal war and then being gasp right along they would have the sense to start giving w and the ruining the country a shot or two bush seems to get a pretty free run from these guys for as stupid and messed up as he is br br gore is fair game but please what do the have to do how bad do they have to f k up the country before these guys finally act like maybe they aren't just trying to do the best they can and that they have done some true up or maybe just go after rush hes a good target or even just make fun of gap teeth,negative +it's boring br br it's slow br br where are the nasty and brutal murders where is the tension that is supposed to scare us this is like watching street without the funny characters of ernie and bert or br br it's really lame br br maybe it was the writing maybe the direction maybe the acting maybe the editing maybe the cinematography maybe the special effects maybe the makeup br br maybe all of the above brought this to something barely able to keep your eyes focused on br br i wanted to get scared not bored br br this didn't scare me it didn't even interest me i had more fun watching the time on the instead of watching this film br br don't bother to buy it and if you see it on television by some freak chance there is no need to the kids asleep,negative +saw the film at the closing of the ealing film festival in west london england enjoyed it immensely although the crow the chinese policeman don't appear and dan becomes dan played by sean hughes i the interaction between dan and the author writer director voiced played by lord richard attenborough works very well br br the is that lord attenborough and elliott as dr appeared in the film for just a of beer br br spike was shown the film on video before he died and by all accounts enjoyed it immensely,positive +1959 was a landmark in the world of film several great directors of the classic era were releasing career classics that among their best just a look at the titles is hitchcock's north by billy some like it hot howard bravo douglas imitation of life add a couple from the previous year orson welles' touch of evil vertigo and nick wind across the and you've got a pretty good up of what was possible within the classic hollywood style br br at the same time two films appeared that hinted at a whole new way of making films one was jean luc breathless the other was john cassavetes shadows the two films had certain things in common largely improvised acting by non stars cameras low budgets and a certain youthful in certain ways though they couldn't be apart godard was still a believer in the director as of style he knew more about film than most hollywood producers and breathless was filled with the of the classic crime film cassavetes on the other hand was an actor and a from new underground theater scene his first film shows him little impressed with the cinema and a big believer in actors film constantly references it's own whereas shadows aims for a certain kind of br br it doesn't reach it mainly because is a myth particularly in cinema but it feels powerful but like the cool jazz on the score certainly the main inspiration for the filmmaking style on display here it ultimately doesn't hold together mainly because actors here are amateurish where cassavetes style requires strong imaginative actors his later work with gena rowlands ben and peter falk blows this out of the water due to the director's technical some bits of dialogue had to be later which the of the still it's fascinating to watch both for the great moments like the scene where talks about her with losing her virginity and to watch a groundbreaking artist finding his way,positive +it's rare that i get the opportunity to review a film for imdb that relates to my own life in such a close way however as someone living with cerebral albeit less severe than michael one of the main characters in the film i don't wish to give this film a just because it a subject that's rarely approached and when it is is normally treated with faced seriousness there were minor problems i had with the film and i'd like to address those first so that people are clear that it isn't my situation which has my judgement of this overall excellent film br br parts of it i felt were crowd pleasing at the expense of realism if i had a pound for every time a well meaning member of the public has mentioned electric wheelchair racing to me i'd be much the man but speaking personally that fits more into the public perception of how we deal with our rather than the reality of what actually goes on same thing with spending time watching disabled people go to the pub it's not a big deal to those of us who actually do it as much as it might be admirable for looking in i appreciate that this is from the previously perspective of michael but i still think he'd be more on enjoying the experience rather than on what a big deal it was that he was actually there in the first place as such the amount of time we spend seeing them have fun felt like a bit too much br br i felt that the nature of illness was brought to our attention far too late meaning that it was just used as a cheap sentimental device to come between the pair rather than something everybody knew all along was going to have to be dealt with br br to balance those criticisms i have to dish out a heap of praise as well although i thought some scenes showing them getting to grips with normal life were a touch overdone the script also into some places i wouldn't have expected and comes out with a lot of credit for doing so for instance raising the issue of love and relationships and showing the daily often used to aid and assist the lives of non able people also despite the blunt emotional shock of death being upon us the movie as a whole is far less sappy than anyone has a right to expect these type of films to be br br brenda can and has been performing variations of her role on for what seems like years but robertson and share a special interaction that must be noted inside i'm doing that a group of people somewhere have finally made a film doing justice to the lust for life of many disabled persons,positive +i remember watching this series and being so disappointed when it came to an end over the years since then i have tried to find out if i could obtain a copy of it on either video or d v d to no however i was delighted to find this website with details of it only to be disappointed again at the point of purchase that the videos available will not play on english this production was so wonderful being absolutely accurate with novel taking the storyline through after the end of the war with joe and subsequent life together absolutely marvellous and i just wish i were able to see it again as since it's original screening there have been no repeats of it on british television,positive +i the contains spoiler box in case i say anything that is a spoiler and don't realise i've said it until i re read it after i've posted so it's just in case br br anyhow back to reviewing this film br br i saw this film on earlier on this afternoon and by the description sky gives you these people must be on acid it sounded pretty good but then when i actually got about 30 minutes into it i was appalled this film in my opinion has the worst and actors actresses ever the young girl who falls in love with the boy from l a after about 3 hours is a really stupid lame character who has an annoying voice and hair then there's her lover who's an idiot and is also very actually maybe they suit each other then there's the boy's mum who's with him on holiday and surprise surprise she's a doctor and oh my god wait there's even more surprises a virus suddenly breaks out on the island and she knows all about o shock horror yeah right lol then there's this insane religious who keeps going on about or something and how the lord knows all everyone on the island seems to love him yet he's actually a stubborn arrogant you really need to watch this film just for the scene where he comes out of the sea after a swim his head is like tiny and his body is massive it's hilarious who's had way too much to drink br br anyhow after all these weirdo characters including a stoned looking taxi driver the religious finally gives in to the doctor and she takes a blood and they get straight to work on finding the cure from that because for some reason he's dramatically been saved all down to and god and oh my god yes there's another surprise you'll never guess what just in the nick of time with 11 minutes to go before everybody on the island drops dead in fact including her son and his girl she finds the cure and everybody and it's all resolved what a pathetic film i mean i knew it sounded an obvious ending from when i first started watching it but i actually though it'd be good and have some sub plot twists somewhere but no no it was just boring and dry br br don't watch this film you'll end up like me stunned for 3 hours and then demanding the hour and a half you spent of your life watching it back,negative +bill paxton has taken the true story of the us golf open and made a film that is about much more than an extra ordinary game of golf the film also deals directly with the class tensions of the early century and touches upon the profound anti catholic prejudices of both the british and american but at heart the film is about that favourite of triumph against the odds br br the acting is throughout stephen is excellent as usual but the revelation of the movie is who delivers a and highly sympathetic performance as a working class franco irish kid fighting his way through the prejudices of the new england establishment for those who are only familiar with his slap stick performances in even stevens this of his maturity is a delightful surprise and josh as the ten year old threatens to steal every scene in which he appears br br a old fashioned movie in the best sense of the word fine acting clear directing and a great story that grips to the end the final scene an nod to casablanca is just one of the many pleasures that fill a great movie,positive +a sick man dee the teen chat lines as captain he poses as a teenage boy and invites other teens over his house to party he instead knocks them out them their mouth closed and them mostly with he captures the daughter of cop mike gage kevin gage he finds him him and he's four years later he's released totally but a lynch led by robert englund attack him and hang him he doesn't die but he and captain is back br br a very sick disturbing twisted horror film captain enjoys pain and torture and is trying to show the kids he kidnaps how to enjoy it also the torture scenes aren't that explicit you hear more than you see but what you do see is very very sick there's no humor and the muted screams of his victims sound way too real i was cringing away from the tv during most of the scenes br br the acting kevin gage isn't that good as the cop he's not terrible but he could have been better dee is very scary as captain his attack scenes are not pleasant br br all in all not your typical horror film i'll probably never see it again this film really gets under your skin but i recommend it to all horror fans at least those with strong i give it a 7,positive +the story is quite slow at the beginning except few interesting humour that come along the way but some of the plot still empty br br the science on how the kid entered the 21st century is still a mystery except at the end of the movie we have been shown of how br br other than that everything looks ok,positive +i saw the preview in and thought it could be a cool film turns out it is an awful garbage there isn't much nudity in the film not to mention not having much sex either there were just some dumb and corny dialogues along with some dancing you usually expect to see during audition in our case you may even see it in the actual films conclusion i ain't got none for it just leave it alone,negative +i felt this film did have many good qualities the cinematography was certainly different exposing the stage aspect of the set and story the original characters as actors was certainly an achievement and i felt most played quite convincingly of course they are playing themselves but definitely unique the cultural aspects may leave many disappointed as a with the chinese and oriental culture will answer a lot of questions regarding parent child relationships and the that goes with any drug use i found the story interesting on a down note the story is in and some of the fashion and music of early 90s even though this was made in 2001 so it's really cheesy sometimes the beatles crap etc whatever not a top ten or twenty but if it's on the television check it out,positive +i think every critic who tommy boy when it was released in 1995 ought to go back and watch it and learn it is not a bad film at all every critic chris and david movies yes was funny but kind of had a one joke premise and black sheep i agreed with the critics is one of the worst movies ever made but tommy boy does not fall in the category of which could have been a little funnier and black sheep which is a piece of tripe it is very funny and entertaining i do agree with the critics that chris was no john belushi or john candy as he claimed to have those guys and those guys had a genius for comedy but chris was very funny and i wish he were around longer to prove to critics that yes he was no john belushi or john candy but he was very funny the scenes between and spade as nemesis are side splitting hilarious and the premise is also laugh out loud hilarious it is very sad that chris is no longer here to make us laugh but we have movies like tommy boy to remember how truly funny he was tommy boy is one of the 1990's best comedies,positive +what are the movies i mean what are movies made for shootings killings no they are made for life stories and this is what this movie does it presents how the life has changed between two ages the father and a son the father being in a need of a job and asking the son for help br br although there is another generation there are some characteristics which remain including the for the family br br the main subject is in my opinion the love of the son to the father and vice versa br br the movie is consisted of only one dialog but that dialog is more than i could ever wanted this movie is a pure art once again after delivers us another beautiful movie well done,positive +what's fun about is that it's the story of a human on a rampage a deadly threat to monsters everywhere in this one the monsters the night breed of the title are the good guys it shares its sense of celebrating the different the twisted and the dark with the first family movie and much of tim work it also has the that one expects from a piece by barker br br especially fun is the performance by as the truly evil human doctor who is bent on destroying the as happens in most classic monster movies the villagers surround the castle with and only this time the modern setting the castle with an old and the weapons with guns and bombs and this time the sympathy you felt when you saw monster burned in the is the very center of the movie br br this isn't a masterpiece and even barker has done more interesting and certainly more chilling work but it's pure fun it looks great and remains light without mocking itself worth a look,positive +i believe to be the best piece of work that has come out of the steven seagal factory in a long time this movie was the first one i have seen since that fine film preview my point he is done every movie is the same maybe he will be good in because he won't be the star we can only hope br br p s thanks for speaking to when i went to college it was an amazing speech you really influenced some people out there br br so i have to write ten lines about this movie i like the guy who killed a bunch of fools whenever anyone look out because there could be a killer with a and another loud one who wants to kill you br br is that ten,negative +how can anyone even begin to like this film is really beyond me br br the idea it has none a guy fell apart that's the idea wow an environment was slowly killing him now that's original and worth watching br br this is the first film i've seen i've heard that he's a genius of en scene but i've seen student films with more attention inspiration idea and craft than this this this nothing it has nothing br br each and every shot is too long there's so much in them the horrible you can see the actors had no at all no understanding of their roles not even an attempt at showing emotions it's so superficial the lines are so that you could removed 90 of them and still have the same crappy film who cares about it atmosphere dynamics that's for one shot per scene 80 of the time people staring having no idea how to represent emotions and importance of the moment besides hollow staring at the camera or one another editing all rules of editing have been with no pay off of any kind photography half of the shots have reflection in them and crappy lighting with no of any kind shadows play of shadows who needs that we need a guy drinking hitting his wife like he's like he's acting we need a bunch of close ups of a not so beautiful woman we need an amateurish climax of his capture by an unconvincing this film has so much that it isn't worth the no budget it had br br frankly i haven't seen a film this bad since american pie 5 that bad br br i've just started watching his movie which seems much better based on the first 15 minutes since it does have a hint of directing and artistic idea unlike this crap so i won't argue that clueless but this this film sucks,negative +its a truly awful movie with a laughable storyline some awful acting and a script that ed wood might be ashamed of wagner is laughable in this he plays his role like number two in austin powers easily the worst of the airport movies 1 out of 10,negative +i saw this movie in blockbuster and thought it might be a good sunday evening movie when there is nothing else to do so i bought it used 3 dvds for 25 although it was cheap my money would have been better spent on a nail to drive through my foot br br the film started out nicely kinda dark and mysterious i was always enthralled with vampire and samurai movies as a kid i thought the would be really cool the first fight scene was pretty cool i was excited for the rest of the movie then the movie took a serious nose dive br br i understand that this was a big hit in the east i guess because of the twins i don't see it though this movie aside from the first 10 minutes was absolutely horrible so many movies in this genre have the potential to be great and blow it terribly this is just another br br chan's role in this film doesn't make any sense at all complete silliness he probably made a few bucks off it though br br the only cool thing in this movie are the swords they use nice idea br br i wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone,negative +so you have the spoiler warning but i would argue that you cannot spoil what is already rotten i assume they changed the name to the just in case within s reputation had it br br after paying the cable rental for this movie i considered saving my household garbage for a month and it to the writer director he had his garbage delivered to my home so i thought it only fair that i return the favor br br the movie opens with a suggestion that the scene is in the desert of i'm not sure why they picked maybe the writer is a fan of the ali g show but they should have just started inside the cave because the outside was obviously not it was the first clue that i was going to hate the movie br br the movie has no redeeming qualities save one it's consistent everything is terrible the writing the directing the acting the cinematography every aspect of this film is just bad and i like bad films goofy films b horror films but this was just plain bad and stupid and hackneyed and predictable and boring br br to get a feel for the film go into your room with 5 of your friends and turn off the lights put a turned on into your and start it now all of you start screaming and yelling at the top of your that's it br br for a complete re have 5 of the 6 people in the room play dead on the floor toss on them turn the lights back on stop the now have a guy in a gorilla costume enter the room and rape the last person standing br br br br reading through the other comments many find it remarkable this movie was made on a low budget that's not remarkable making a crap movie on a huge budget is remarkable making a good movie on a low budget is remarkable like blair witch which i thoroughly enjoyed making a crap movie on a low budget isn't a bit surprising and you can expect more of the same if these people are still making movies because i can't imagine anybody would hand them a pile of cash after watching this br br is the low budget an excuse for a terrible film no and it's certainly no reason to watch it would you eat a dog dung just because it was cheap to make br br the imdb rating for this film over time will be interesting to watch it should trend but only if the number of unsuspecting innocent viewers can the movie ability to beg their personal friends to give it 10 stars,negative +i sort of liked this columbo movie its atmosphere which was real thriller like and its approach even at times reminded me of film noir in the movie its first 30 minutes or so it's really nice and done in a good old fashioned way with the right camera angles and use of light it doesn't mean instantly that this movie is a brilliant one though but its solid enough to consider this a good late columbo movie entry it's definitely a better movie than the average columbo movie entry br br 26 years after his previous columbo movie appearance george hamilton returns once again to play the main lead opposite peter falk again as the murderer in a total different and new role of course i liked him in his role and he was a good columbo who gave the good old lieutenant some good competition they had some nice sequences together problem with the new columbo movies always sort of had been that it didn't feature a good well known actor opposite peter falk this movie obviously doesn't suffer from this problem but i must say though that this movie doesn't feature peter falk at this best he has certainly played the character better and his performance isn't quite consistent enough within this movie which is probably also due to he movie its director duke who also directed the really dreadful movie pan among many other projects br br it has a rather good and enjoyable story but the fact that the same sort of plot to cover up the murder had been used before in an earlier columbo movie also doesn't help of course it got used before in the 1975 movie columbo nevertheless it of course also still has plenty enough moments of its own with its story even though of course in essence every columbo movie is more or less the same but oh well that is what made the columbo series so great and consistent if it ain't broke don't fix it br br it also is true that within this movie more clues than usual are left out for the lieutenant which doesn't mean that the movie its murderer is more stupid or sloppy but i more see it as the writers being more overly enthusiastic than others it doesn't make the movie or story bad and it in fact perhaps even makes it more enjoyable to see columbo hard at work and discovering all kind of small but important clues luckily the movie is also filled with some enjoyable effective columbo comedy br br simply a good late columbo movie entry br br 7 10,positive +cage plays a drunk and gets high praise elizabeth actually has to do a love seen with the most unattractive and overrated piece of dung flesh in hollywood i literally while watching this film of course i had the but that does not mean this film did not contribute to the vomit in the br br why can't nick cage play something he can really pull off like a bad actor nick cage who be brilliant in a role as a bad actor heck nobody could do it better br br the search begins for contract with or was it lou from night train to terror,negative +this is the episode that probably most closely relates to it's partner law not kill in that it directly brings up the ever controversial issue why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing is wrong this issue is presented in two parts within the episode before the killing when the film shows the between the idealistic up and coming lawyer and the street thug so caught up in his ways that his life is merely a representation of what he's supposed to do followed by the period after the trial and before the execution when both are made to suffer for the deaths they feel responsible for and thus share br br one of the great things about the way these episodes work are in the both small and big ways the story is fully developed so that we understand both the motivations and of characters we're only able to spend slightly less than an hour with for all his criminal intentions and mockery the killer is still very sympathetic revolving the most important part of his actions around a history of accidental death his way of killing is more a desire to control death than it is any desire to actually destroy similarly the idealistic shows one unwilling to allow death to happen in a world where he can't control it their meeting is indeed important they both have to give in to it while not it br br as an aside it's interesting how much this episode affects viewing of later of the colours trilogy one of biggest influences seems to be the idea of justice and considering that the is a on something that represents divine justice this one seems almost the most self conscious br br,positive +i found this movie to be a simple yet wonderful comedy this movie is purely entertaining i can watch it time and time again and still enjoy the dialog and chemistry between the characters i truly hope for a dvd release,positive +it's very easy to figure out why the new professionals was a dud at least in new zealand it didn't just follow in the footsteps of the original it followed which out the show considerably with its boss and two agents formula was a latter day george tough on his team but one who would defend them to the death against others the shadow the show cast was huge br br well not as huge as it should have been in the uk here it was in prime time it was even in the as are the professionals ' someone else obviously noticed the difference we were fortunate enough not to have this show released in different at different time br br it was the high production values that sealed the deal for me as other reviewers have noted it followed the great british tradition of the one hour but in personal elements at the same time there's a slight of something developing between liz and ian though that never distracted one from the real plot most episodes were based around incidents the sort of thing that helps along from time to time br br unlike many shows the plot was not sacrificed at the expense of fancy pants photography or over stylish direction directors like christopher young kept the pace up and did their job they made use of good locations making than if it had been shot on back roads and it was contemporary it would still stand up beautifully today and it was one of the better examples of the british in the 1990s showing that the uk can still do them better than anyone else br br maybe except for the germans and their 11,positive +has impressed me before with his acting ability but i can honestly say that i very much look forward to his next efforts his portrayal of francis a 20 year old who ignores his father's that golf is not his place in life and enters the us open in his hometown the beginning of the movie does drag a bit but it's necessary to set up the underdog subplot that works so well the entire cast is well chosen and they work very well together in a story that based on the actual event has an ending everyone can discover before seeing the movie but even knowing that information doesn't spoil the fun josh is delightful as eddie who keeps him grounded and loose while at the same time proving to be an part of effort stephen is outstanding as harry the legendary british who francis yet does not fear and who knows the background francis comes from as he too had humble bill paxton takes a formulaic movie and makes it worthwhile bravo mr paxton and bravo to the cast from the imagery to the story to the people who bring it alive this is a movie to get enjoy and in it's nice to have movies like this that we can feel good watching,positive +those two main characters and are a comedy act i was wondering if this is one of these typical slapstick movies where the story is either not important or simply not existing but when i saw this movie i was very happy that there is a cool story and the main characters really fit in it br br all in all very amusing and not a common german movie,positive +this is a crafted piece of cinema that deals with a teenage boys confused sexuality the cut scenes within can be lengthy but the cinematography is beautiful this film would not appeal to many people especially those who are about gay teenage relationships but the more open minded can sympathize with the puzzled protagonist,positive +sister helen is a superb documentary about a rigid foul mouthed bitter nun who runs a shelter for and in a very neighborhood in the south all but one of the 21 residents are robert the only middle class representative – he had a real job house and even a – regrets she died before he could tell her off why br br robert like six of the residents was on he complained that helen a huge stick over him and constantly threatened to turn him in if he didn't cow to her in an extras interview he said helen ran the center to compensate for the deaths of the three men in her life – her husband and her two boys br br the husband was an alcoholic who died of a heart attack at one boy died of a heroin and the other was stabbed to death at 15 helen was left with one daughter who she abandoned to run the center the daughter was not pleased she wanted her mom br br what's fascinating is how little helen changed it seems she made a huge sea change but after seeing this riveting and disturbing video a few times once with the directors it became clear that helen 21 male to boss around to replace her three dead males br br helen admits she ignored her kids and spent every day in bars but her and sharp tongue didn't emerge at age living with her must have been extremely difficult even robert says he stayed clean in spite of helen br br the film opens with helen a man who wants to live at the shelter supposedly she is showing off her street another time she mel her assistant for not bathing for a year then she waves his filthy in the air the film is with helen threatening and people her signature song is my way her favorite phrase is i'm going to be totally honest with you often people who use such phrases turn out o be the opposite br br the residents are really down and out only robert has any skills beyond pushing a they all desperately need a roof over their heads and helen since she runs the place on her own has the power to admit or whoever she she has no board to answer to and gets no public funding it is her show br br helen believes in the cookie approach to she stopped drinking cold turkey and that means everyone else can too she blames substance abuse on the drug or booze and not the underlying issues that drove the men to drink and drug she's no just a who her hair wears a habit and complete power over her and stopped drinking br br helen also it over her inmates by demanding she calls it on twice major a very solid and respected long term older resident who she trusted failed his helen was furious and him major stood his ground and said the results were wrong because he never did heroin helen didn't and failed to consider a mistake could have been made this was especially since she knew major for a long time yet she her relationship with him assumed he was a liar and relied completely on the results major eventually discovered the in his showed up as an helen never but supposedly made up with major br br helen also had a very reputation in her old neighborhood she admitted to robert she once stayed up very late one night to slash someone's the person her and certainly deserved to have his her she was not a nice woman so eventually she decided the only way to keep the travis name her last name alive – since the three male died – was to start the travis center br br for some of the residents it was a great deal they with helen and in exchange received a cheap safe sober and structured place to live one however said he preferred jail and don't all need to be treated like children helen employed old school techniques which have been however no one was forced to remain at the center and for some it was definitely a positive experience the travis center is not a treatment center it is a for and who what to out their lives br br to receive the full sister helen experience see all the extra interviews plus the audio version in which the two directors share their experiences living with sister helen and her guests,positive +willie ' is often as the first mickey mouse film though that title actually goes to crazy ' the source this common is probably an episode of the simpsons which places the origin of itchy the mouse in a short called itchy ' obviously a parody of this cartoon interestingly was itself a parody the latest buster keaton release bill jr ' though the connection stretches little beyond the title and the general story setting in this walt disney short mickey mouse takes charge of a river much to the annoyance of captain pete the cat who casts him aside but mickey is not to be in far removed from the pleasant wholesome mickey that more recent generations enjoyed this little mouse cares only for pain and on a series of farm animals in order to provide music for his own amusement br br first there's the laughing parrot which cops a bucket and a large to the head then a goat is by the tail to provide music turkey in the straw from a guitar it has a cat is around by its tail a about the throat and a for a children's cartoon willie ' directed by walt disney and certainly has some mean spirited humour though i also noticed similar elements though not quite to this extent in some later disney shorts like mickey 1934 ' let's not forget mouse of course who suffers treatment for which she could today sue for sexual the jokes may be crude and the animation perhaps even more so but this cartoon delivers a bucket full of laughs and it's easy to see why this little became one of the most beloved characters in cinema history if you're a fan of mickey mouse or disney in general this is one you can't afford to miss,positive +now and again a film comes around purely by accident that makes you doubt your sanity we just finished studying the novel at school and decided to our memory of this piece of garbage with the bbc adaptation br br the funny thing about is that it actually makes you want to kill yourself the film is nothing like the book for example the subtly evil characters seem to have been turned into transparent stereotypes john looks like a on acid while plays the role of slut catherine the main character is the most stupid and irritating actress on god's earth she looks like a coffee addict her eyes are like whilst mr looks and acts like a retired porno stunt double the plot goes completely off the at certain points of the film i don't know what the hell the director was thinking when for no reason at all a 7 year old black kid who we've never met before takes the main character out of the and starts in front of her yes that's right nonsense of this kind is occasionally interrupted by fantasies in which she is being carried around a by an ogre br br is basically visual so if you want to murder your boss or something like that bbc have basically discovered a new way to kill someone is a barely laughably bad film don't watch it unless you're in a padded cell,negative +this movie has it all it is a thriller a chase movie a romance story a mob tale a comedy a road movie well in fact it's none of this at all br br all the time you are waiting for something interesting to happen but no you are still watching the same dull uninspiring and superficial cliché of a movie with a very bad soundtrack even the star cast acting is lacking in credibility a hit man with his quirks a girl who's playing hard to get mob guys acting tough and incapable cops yawn br br i'd recommend not to watch if you want to see a good movie directed by a famous actor go and see 'the three of by tommy lee jones now that's what i call worth watching,negative +though it pains me to some degree that i'm bothering to the comments board for this new series mainly because i'd hate to give the false impression that there's actually any semblance of public interest in it i feel compelled to throw in my on this one br br to put it simply never before have i felt so to root for a tv show's swift and based solely on the merit of its ads and in case you're wondering i'm a dude br br listen comedy network though your existing original programming is already shall we say of a quality i'm looking at you girls will be girls you have truly yourselves on this one whoever green lit this thing could not be further out of touch with what's cool right now br br best of luck,negative +based on a edgar rice novel at the core provides little more than means to escape and give your brain a rest a victorian scientist dr perry peter cushing a giant machine which he and his american partner doug use to their way deep into the earth to explore what mysteries it may hold they soon discover a lost world of creatures having conflict with monsters br br cushing comes across as an absent minded professor to the point of being annoying instead of being a bold he comes across on the other hand enough to make himself also laughable caroline plays the pretty princess that refuses to leave her world near the center of the earth also in the cast are james grant and michael,negative +i first saw this on demand or on tv i'm not really sure but this has got to be my all time favorite movie ever i mean this movie has blood gore laughs and chills through out the movie i recently ordered monster man from amazon and i've been watching monster man ever since i got it trust me you will love this movie br br p s the commentary on the dvd is way funny they also said something about monster man 2 during the commentary let's hope they make monster man 2 if you have the chance rent the movie or buy it you will absolutely love it this is the best movie that has come out in 2003 br br 10 10,positive +caution spoiler at the end of the movie it is announced that the bridge just a few days after it was captured the impression is that the attack was all for nothing in reality taking the bridge at was the last important victory for the western allies it was the crossing of the that the allies had been trying to achieve for six months because the bridge was taken the war ended in just a few weeks br br the bridge only need to last for a day after it was captured this was enough time for the americans to send combat and a large protective force to the other side and they could then start building a series of bridges the taking of the bridge was a complete success and meant the that the end of the war was near and would not last through the summer contrary to the cynical nature of the film the victory was with by the troops who did it they knew how vital the battle was br br this film has little to do with real history it was more a reflection of the cynical nature of the time in which it was produced,negative +sex lives of the men is about the sex lives of several men involved in delivering so there are no surprises there it is in fact pretty much what you might expect from the title that is it's a quirky comedy involving sex and men at times the film works it's an edgy sometimes uncomfortable comedy about the lives of some rather and rather average men who are having problems of various sorts with women where the film clearly does not work and why it failed at the box office is that the quirky uncomfortable parts are perhaps just a too quirky and uncomfortable instead of laughing during the scene of a man suspended from a basement ceiling over another man while he makes love to his wife i think most of us just kind of and wonder what andy was thinking well perhaps we are shown what he was thinking all too clearly,negative +i was recently given this film on dvd as a gift and was unsure at first if it would appeal although one of my favourite actors has a leading role in fact it's on its way to becoming a favourite br br first of all thankfully it's not the same as the book the ending of which i think is melodramatic secondly it's one of the best films i've seen about the first world war what you may ask it's not a war film true we see no battles or no no gas but it shows the cost of war the damage done to the lives of the men who fought in it and the impact this had on those close to them br br we first see helen sarah miles a widow awaiting her release from a mental hospital all the women in the film appear to be some from the war but much older husband sir thomas we see him later in a photograph was taken ill and died while she was at a party hence her guilt stricken breakdown she is lost and lonely the wire around the hospital grounds evokes camps and the like many of the men in the outside world helen is suffering from a kind of shell shock br br out of hospital she has to find her feet in the outside world again a world we experience through her eyes as bleak desolate and her mother is unable to provide her with any real support herself a widow she has put up her own emotional behind which she hides to avoid dealing with her daughter's distress like many people especially in that time she seems to find mental illness embarrassing br br the hired driver becomes a supportive presence and helps helen begin to to life again but she does not realise that he is becoming dangerously obsessed with her this is a superb performance by robert shaw is a former regular soldier an ex sergeant major who runs a boxing club and has set up his own car hire business he seems tough and strong but there are cracks beneath the surface he has not really to life he for reasons he later explains a family and home life he does not have he has brutal with colleagues and affection less sex getting close to helen – a woman whom even with the greater post war social freedom he could not realistically have hoped to marry – exposes psychological fault lines that tear him apart these days one might br br the same is true of the other man in life aspiring politician captain hugh peter he is ambitious handsome but also very young his girlfriend connie caroline mothers him his hair and making sure he has a clean before he goes out he is known to both and helen the former had served under him during the war and helen had met him in political circles and had thought him a however he and helen now begin a relationship with helen to support his political career and emotionally peter fresh from his stage success as in r c makes hugh more than an immature there is a revealing understated scene in the back of the car between helen and hugh in which they quote 'the old at she asks of his war experience was it very bad he cannot answer she says well you're back now but his spoken – am i sometimes i – is the key to his character as light and shadow across his face we know that there are some horrors that cannot be put into words the suffered by junior officers of his sort – straight out of school or university and expected to lead from the front – are well known in a nervous speech during which helen him to local political folk at a dinner party he reveals that he will stand as an independent no longer as a liberal the party which had taken the country into the war his emotional life is as damaged as he cannot easily himself from connie who depends on him emotionally and reading between the lines she is probably a war widow perhaps of a former with a child whose drawings we see on the wall of her home br br spoilers br br the crisis between the trio builds slowly with a frightening scene between helen and in the car and listening in to hugh and connie when he is driving them as hugh tries to connie that even as his relationship with helen develops they can continue theirs that he will at least continue to support her jealousy obsession and his belief that he must protect helen from a gold lead to confront her and hugh violently in her home br br the ending is entirely different from that of the novel and is better for it it is dramatic but less melodramatic and maintains an tone we began with one character recovering from a mental breakdown we end with another suffering one helen one senses is now and stronger than both the men who have been unable fully to adapt to the so called fit for to which they returned from the nightmare of total war the new ending is open one feels that she at least will cope with whatever lies ahead without in this it reflects well the reality of the time in which women helen connie and so many others had to pick up the pieces of a world in which too many men had died or had come home with varying degrees of mental and physical damage br br well you're back now – am i sometimes i,positive +the evil gang in this movie were called the hence the title but minor would have been a better name for this sorry mob of weak actors trying to look dangerous whenever they wanted to kill someone they their very slowly so that their intended victim could easily avoid them or push them off their their leader had a bad limp but still thought he could take on the hero and win as for karen black she didn't seem to know where she was for most of the film,negative +things that are only just now news were taken as a given in this shocking documentary i fear that as the investigation proceeds the producers of this film will be in br br the producers show us the the government agents the with all their faults and all their humanity nothing any reviewer can say could approach the impact of watching and listening for yourself pieces of evidence tapes news footage expert commentary interviews photos and home videos are woven together and tell a disturbing tale br br do not wait see this film and tell your friends,positive +if you like detective and police shows and you like suspenseful movies then you will love this movie this movie is great christopher has amazing acting skills you may think you know who the killer is in the beginning but you don't this movie is about the true story of the murder of martha watch the movie,positive +this is a very funny movie there is a self tone to the movie that is very appealing the characters are interesting the movie flows very well and holds your interest throughout the 1 hour 50 minutes duration of the film the film quality is not of the highest hollywood standards however the original film was supposed to be made in the genre of a gritty punk rock style the documentary about the attempt to make the film and the subsequent betrayal of the film makers is very well detailed and easy to follow the original film makers themselves become the main characters in the documentary version of the movie the interviews of the film makers and the actors has been assembled in a highly entertaining story that illustrates the struggles involved in making the original film the eventual failure of the original project and the phoenix like rising from the that evolved into this documentary film in my mind the documentary a texas tale of is a much more interesting and entertaining film than the original film vacation would have ever been two thumbs up for a job well done,positive +hong kong the 1920s a young man from poor dreams of being a hero and spends most of his time training and learning about kung fu and much against his father's will he helps a servant girl escape from a ruthless businessman whose then come after them and the young man's restaurant the uncle turns out to be an old assassin who now helps the young guy become in martial arts it's all out karate kid style with wash the instead of wax on wax off the kung fu villain is the ruthless son who has a trademark style that looks cool although it is quite silly and surely completely unrealistic br br but the story which develops over time has an epic feel good characterization great kung fu and is generally very entertaining the young hero is very sympathetic and provides a good protagonist to root for the romance dimension remains undeveloped though which is a bit disappointing otherwise a great movie br br my rating 8 out of 10,positive +this is one of those movies where i just want to move my feet and dance around the house it's a very positive and happy type of music the movie has some sad parts but mostly the music is what makes me happy gary busey did a great job as buddy holly buddy holly kept on going even tho his his parents and the record producer told him no buddy holly didn't give up on what he liked i didn't know much about buddy holly until i watched this movie i've been to the surf ballroom where he last played but didn't give much attention to it until i watched this movie it's an incredible movie with lots of fun so get on your feet and see this movie,positive +spoilers br br one of the worst films i've seen since last years the village an insult to anyone of any intelligence at all poorly written and astonishingly contrived nobody especially in los angeles talks the way these characters do no subtly at all if the point of this film is to say that we all have a little bit of in us he does a horrible job of stating the obvious not only was his point clearly base but every character in this film was amazingly stupid the car scene almost made me walk out along with the rescue and oh lets not forget the white off duty rookie cop picking up a black thug and i could go on and on awful just awful,negative +i watched this again after having not seen it since it first came out in and it still made me laugh out loud it's written kevin kline and joan cusack are both perfect in their roles and if you can look at bob in this movie and not chuckle you're more of a man than i br br for that matter i think the scenes where tom kisses kevin kline where kevin kline to the how to be a man and the post almost wedding scenes w joan cusack are three of the funniest scenes in any movie br br sure the last scene is a bit of an excuse for a happy ending but few movies are perfect,positive +based on the comments made so far everyone seems to either hate this movie or love it i think it would be fair to point out that although this is not a great movie it has its interesting moments for one thing it was filmed on location in was it or i can't remember but it is in the credits the location is absolutely stunning and spectacular it's beautiful even to me who lived in for several years br br next it has disney's for wonderful character actors harry morgan has never been in better form than when he plays in a disney movie he is literally hysterical also remember the wonderful mary although she has a bit part in this movie she is great as always if you don't know who she is think of the animated disney version of from dame she was one of the and she was also the most interesting nun in sister act as well as the best nun in the trouble with angels she has always been a great character actress and most character actors never receive the recognition they deserve br br in addition to character actors and all star casts in the 1960s 1970s disney may have not had the greatest movies but if you really watch some of them from beginning to end you will notice that every movie has some really funny or hysterical moment in it the entire movie may not be funny but there is always a comic gem at least 1 or 2 in every single live action movie disney ever made whether it's harry morgan in one of his tones of voice or tim around or joe flynn giving one of his priceless looks of horror it is all good the whole film may not be good but there are always hysterical moments in every disney film from this period that i have ever seen disney in this time period always managed to make a person smile despite the of the film br br on these comments i disagree with viewers who say every disney movie in this time period is awful that statement it not quite accurate rather it is easier for me to give credit to the funny moments and overlook the weaknesses in the plots br br some live action disney movies are true classics old and mary but for those that aren't i am able to appreciate them for what they were good clean family fun in a time when movies had become vulgar crude and offensive,negative +there were two things i hated about wasted the directing and the script i know i m opening myself up to but stephen t kay s direction is too much like a like a well like a mtv pop video it s shot i think on digital video against an soundtrack often out of focus and often with rapid cross cutting if you re not a teenager you ll find many segments of wasted unwatchable due to the approach as bad as the directing was it was the script that my chain the story is told through samantha a poor little rich girl who spends much of the film talking through voice over strange how the voice over never seems enough to have come from the same character telling us of the pressure of her the pressure of home life her social and it s all this that led her to take drugs it s for similar reasons like break up that her two male friends i thought she was supposed to be lonely to start taking drugs oh poor little sammi in her nice house and her problems how my heart for you and your not what wasted t mention is that no matter what someone is addicted to be it drink drugs or chocolate that person has to work at becoming an addict they re not a victim of forces they re an act of free will both traffic and made this point very well people become because they want to to portray them as victims in any way is wrong and very possibly dangerous br br by the way if mtv are anti drugs will they stop playing videos from stars who admit taking drugs,negative +i saw it in europe great movie br br this film is an exploration of the spirit and the flesh in modern times protagonist jim kirk drives an across america stopping often to fill his gas tank he is middle aged and confused he his thick body with of coffee and radio he is the flesh and sometimes out fairly oblivious to the growing tension around him but feeling it as of br br the spirit the film through speeches and other sounds as well as what appears and goes by in the visual field the spirit eventually with the flesh and kirk goes down unable to comprehend what has happened to him he's been in denial about just how bad things have become due to he of all of us because we are all focused on the needs and desires of our flesh we're all in the same denial and so we like kirk are in danger of going down and being blown away by desert just like him,positive +this movie scared the hell out of me for no good reason the eerie music was well written but other than that its a complete waste of time and it really disturbed me i'm not really sure why either if you just want to see a bad horror movie i guess you could give it a shot but only as a last resort,negative +the forgotten aka don't look in the basement is a very cheaply made and very old looking horror movie br br the story is very slow and never really reaches anything worth getting excited about br br the patients at the asylum are embarrassingly funny especially sam and the old woman who always quotes an old saying to everyone look out for the bit when she gets close to the camera tell me you can watch without laughing br br now the gore is very poor looking with the blood looking pink in many scenes so it doesn't really deserve its place on the video list br br overall if you aren't looking for a fantastic horror film and have some time to spare then it's worth a watch,negative +let me start out by saying that i am a huge fan of hoffman and have read steal this book and steal this test also am a even bigger jerry fan but his movie was a pile of rubbish that made a very pg version of hoffman the director took no chances into making hoffman interesting in this movie they albert as a f ing cartoon devoid of the man was a at for ok they did a horrid casting job for anita hoffman did a horrible job casting for the jerry character i just guess the movie fit the news flashes that i have seen of or the books that he wrote the movie just didnt fit and upset me oh yeah and is the absolute worst voice over i have ever heard of richard this is one of the few movies that i have ever rented that i could not sit all the way through because i have a passion for hoffman and his band of and this movie was just plain badly done and it hurt me that now when people see a movie about the they will see a terrible adaptation and not get a true sense of reality instead they get a of crap br br,negative +no bullets no secret agents a story that is entertaining funny and believable met some of the producers actors in this film at the theater they seemed as interesting in person as their characters on screen you may not hear about this movie on tv with high dollar ad spots but it is definitely worth checking out i have spent 8 for a movie ticket on a lot of other movies that weren't this entertaining looking forward to future projects by this production company,positive +even a decade after aired on the abc near as i can tell current affairs are still using the same tricks over and over time after time today tonight and a current affair are seen to be hiding behind the of and yet they feed us nothing but tired stories about weight loss and dodgy shameless network and pointless celebrity pieces having often been subjected to that entertainment less void between 'the at 6 00 and of the or at 7 00 i was all too aware of the little tricks that these shows would use to attract ratings br br fortunately four rising comedians – rob jane kennedy and tom – were also all too aware of all this and they crafted their into one of the most hilarious media you'll ever see on television the four had already met with comedic success their previous most memorable television being on 'the late show ' the brilliant saturday night variety show which ran for two seasons from 1992 1993 and also featured fellow comedians mick tony martin jason and lucy br br boasts an ensemble of colourful characters each with their own distinct and quirky personality the current affairs show is headed by nicely mike moore rob an ambitious pretentious dim witted mike works under the that the show is serving a vital role for society – he is always that they maintain their integrity – and his executive producers have into getting him to believe just that mike is basically a puppet to bring the news to the people occasionally he gets the that he is being led along by the nose but usually this thought is out via appeals to his vanity or promises of a promotion br br brooke jane kennedy is the senior female reporter on the show she is constantly concerned about her looks and public profile and if the are to be believed she has had a romantic with just about every male celebrity in existence another equally amoral reporter marty is portrayed by who played inept dennis in the australian comedy classic 'the castle ' emma ward alison is the line producer on the show and the single shining of morality on the set then there's the highly amusing geoffrey best friend and makes a living out of always with opinion and of laughing at his jokes before that he doesn't get them br br for each of the shows three seasons we are treated to a different executive producer brian thompson bruno lawrence who unfortunately passed away in 1995 runs the programme during season 1 he has a decent set of morals and is always civil to his employees and yet is more than willing to cast these aside in favour of high ratings sam murphy kevin j wilson arrives on set in season 2 a hard smooth talking producer who knows exactly how to string mike along the last episode of the second season when mike finally gets the better of him is a classic moment steve for the third season is crude unpleasant and sexist it's therefore remarkable that you eventually come to like him br br with its cast of distinctive exaggerated characters has a lot of fun current affairs and their dubious methods for winning ratings many of the episodes were shot quickly and cheaply often many plot ideas from recent real life situations but this never really from the show's ten years on celebrity cameos come in abundance with some of the most memorable appearances including pauline don burke and jon english watch out for harry hilarious appearance in the season 2 episode changing the face of current affairs playing larry an american hired by the network to the show br br particularly in the third season i noticed that an extremely gritty form of black humour for such a light hearted comedy show genuinely funny moments are born from brooke being into having an abortion murder by a crazed and mike his best friend's hopes and dreams only to be told that he is a good friend the final minute – minus an added scene during the credits which was probably added just in case a fourth season was to be produced – was probably the greatest ending to a comedy series that i've yet seen br br below is listed a very list of my top five favourite episodes but make no mistake every single half hour is absolutely hilarious and hard hitting satire br br 1 the siege season 1 br br 2 give 'em enough rope season 2 br br 3 addicted to fame season 3 br br 4 basic instincts season 2 br br 5 add sex and stir season 1,positive +if you like bad movies this one's a real treat kaufman peters around in robot costumes escape slavery only to wander and find true robot love i believe this is the first movie that ever made me consider walking out i should note i was 12 and could be entertained by shiny objects,negative +this is one of the better sci fi series it involves character development a few really moments and reasonable episode scripts as one other said here it looked as if it were a mini series not a full blown series with filler episodes and low budgets br br the problem with the show which in short is a godzilla series is that it started too big with incredible monsters fantastic science then it all boiled down to local americans doing stuff then the show ended too soon since the were coming and hey a sci fi show is a sci fi show but half naked athletic people running around is much more important so they only did 15 episodes instead of the expected 22 the audience was small too as people didn't really caught it on at 20 00 in the end the suits did it trust a marketing plan to destroy anything that looks remotely original and promising br br conclusion you have a show with good special effects stuff like huge monsters killing people or destroying then going into genetic people human end of the world also the only are scenes with aggressive or other annoying people being killed for their stupidity the down side is that after 15 episodes that prepare something huge the show ends no real ending no closure just a bitter taste of cloth in one's mouth as if you just a piece of suit,positive +the story takes place in rural germany on the eve of the second world war a unique setting with a couple of british agents being held by the germans in a farm house since they aren't technically at war yet it seems as if both sides must have realized what was coming both agents bruce lester and ray escape into the countryside and split up happens upon gypsy woman marlene one evening as she's alone at her camp preparing dinner their encounter is an amazing and captivating scene not so much for but for who takes sexy to a whole new plane himself as a gypsy in order to hide from the germans but he remains committed to his mission to do with the scientist who knows the formula for a new poison gas but who also isn't a committed nazi the hollywood take on gypsy life and customs is predictably portrayed but the underlying knowledge that they would be one of the targets for by the nazis adds a certain tension the film the line between being a serious story about the poison gas and the search to get the formula and a colorful though not too convincing love story between and however they're both very good it's the fault of the film that didn't give them or their relationship enough dramatic realism relying on and obvious cultural differences for questionable comedic purposes nonetheless there are some tense and interesting points here and there the surprise with german soldiers and agents where does a great palm reading and nearly as good one and a dinner party of germans of various at which the comes over the radio that germany had been attacked by and everyone stands and does a stiff arm mitchell may have missed some opportunities here and there but he fully took advantage of others,positive +the is a tale of foreign intrigue with seagal at the center as a deep cover who has a package which everyone wants and are willing to kill to get the flick is uninspired with less of the usual action stuff which put seagal on the movie map fire fights hand to hand combat stunts etc and more of a story which is convoluted uninteresting and full of meaningless filler what action there is seems token and gratuitous while seagal looking more and more like a chop through this insipid flick and bored while no improvement in acting ability somewhere around the man or fire down below seagal flicks took a nose dive and the is just an of that trend nothing here worth watching except for the most die hard seagal fans c,negative +directed by jules is in line with the crime pictures particularly bob le and to a point le of being totally focused on story and character and making sure not a word is spoken that doesn't need and was ahead of its time it still has a kind of among its characters a kind of respect if not for than for others a kind of duty that rings well in post ww2 france its actors carry faces for these characters that say know what these guys are and from there the story takes off maybe it's because i have a weak spot for heist pictures particularly where we see just the nuts and actual physical side of how a heist is pulled off br br one of the problems with how the actual heist is filmed in today's movies is that it's all very fast i e snatch or done in ways we've seen too many times before like years later decided to create practically a silent film of a heist sound effects included the tension that builds up in this scene may not top what had in but on its own level it achieves its own greatness and momentum and just as crucial originality to what's been done before there are some kept close ups for example as the safe is being that mark some of the best i've seen from france at that time an added plus for the film aside from the stage new wave touch to the film which in the end makes it a little more modern is that the story works so well and differently it becomes completely about character at points and then keeps up the thrills the last ten to fifteen minutes are down right like with another classic heist picture the jungle it's not even the last stop that matters but all about how much one will go past the call of duty putting over greed br br you almost wonder in all the of the camera flying by the trees at a high speed with the car that he might just make it has here a very entertaining and film of its genre with a nifty little musical number as well,positive +personally the book was a very well written amazing thrilling piece that was not brought to justice to the movie watching the movie at 12 in the morning to see that major parts of the book were left out frustrated me seeing that it affected the different outcome of the movie there was something to be desired out of this movie but all in all it lacked in plot br br for someone who has not read the book i could see how this movie would be seen as and entertaining with its controversy and suspense however to a dedicated reader who has read it seven times i did not see the strong connection between the two both the movie and the novel br br with major characters missing such as and the abrupt turn in plot with the survival of the last in the the plot of the movie was slightly thus leading to a different take in the conclusion of the story the too was portrayed as a common white man compared to that of in the novel where he was portrayed as a muslim his motives in the book are based his ties with the however in the movie his motives are based on money and seemed more like work than some personal tie to the task at hand,negative +this movie is about pathetic spoiled ego driven who think they have something interesting to say performed by pathetic spoiled ego driven who think they are interesting straight from the coke filled of new arty incestuous drama scene br br how so many viewers get tricked into making them think this carries any substance remains a mystery to me maybe they secretly long to belong too to this and or maybe they have never seen a decent movie br br get out put your hands in the dirty earth and get a real job otherwise kill your self with a real gun,negative +a very positive message for our youth is shown in this movie through the sport of as a mean a high school coach leads his players in their behavior and lifestyle on and off the field br br the acting and directing are good the shots are just ok if you know some or really cool if don't know much about it br br i recommend this movie worth watching especially at a point in time when this sport is gaining more and more every day br br the plot is based on a true story taking place in the coach portrayed in this movie has been at the of the for over 30 years and only game every 3 years br br enjoy,positive +the final entry in the on the trilogy sees the usual go about their business in i feel sure the franchise could have continued but harold complained that the screenplays made him look bad in comparison and so no more were made br br it's actually less than two minutes before we get our first of a woman running for the bus finds her breasts fall out of her dress for no reason whatsoever still it does at least make stan laugh but then what doesn't he and jack bob grant spend the entire movie laughing with little or no you get the impression that they'd wet themselves watching paint dry br br as before the only funny element is the genuinely amusing stephen lewis hilarious as he's on his own though with a cheesy dated script that even wastes first rate talent like and henry yet it seems as if only lewis understands how to time the shaky material laughs out of even the weakest lines describing how her daughter fell in a river mum i hope it's not well it will be now br br the plot if indeed there is one sees stan after a young girl but being continually by her mother it's a recipe for side splitting hilarity i'm sure you'll agree and whether it's on a storm boat or the swimming stan and exploits always produce the same result boredom later include maria an italian stereotype and a staff co worker even mum gets a one night stand with stan reminding her to put your tin on br br when one of the comic is arthur trying to locate a light switch in the dark i can't find it and thinking she's talking about sex then you can see why this work reaches the upper levels of literary sophistication in fact why it didn't get in the top 100 movies is beyond me br br other involve anna karen breaking her glasses i don't know what's more surprising the lame predictability of the set up or the underdeveloped pay off the short follows a man in a into the thinking he's a woman in a the next shot sees her out by and to the ladies and that's it next she ends up in another man's bed and is ordered out by his wife and no that's all there is to that scene too br br when holiday on the was last screened on british television there was a breakdown in it actually came as blessed relief,negative +whether one views him as a of the or a glory hunting about the life and military career of george armstrong continue down to the present day they died with their boots on presents certain facts of the story and has taken liberty with others br br he did in fact graduate at the bottom of his class at west point and got this overnight promotion on the battlefield to general his record leading the under his command was one of brilliance br br it was also true that his marriage to bacon was one of the great love matches of the 19th century and george were married for 12 years until the little big horn what's not known to today's audience is that survived until 1933 during that time she was the of the legend by of her own iron will and force of personality her late husband became a hero because she would not allow him to be remembered in any other way br br i think walsh and warner brothers missed a good opportunity to have the career told in flashback olivia should have been made up the way macdonald was in and be telling the story of her husband and her marriage from the point of view of nostalgia and even then the cracks in the legend were appearing but if done from point of view they could be understood and forgiven br br sydney gave a fine performance as general scott the only problem was that scott had nothing whatsoever to do with he was retired and replaced by george b in late while was still at west point i'm not sure they ever met but does a good characterization of the and powerful scott a nice mexican war story should have been what they gave instead for his very accurate portrayal of old fuss and br br the film though is carried by one of the great romantic teams of cinema errol flynn and olivia this was the last of eight films they did together the last scene they ever did for the cameras was farewell to george as he leaves to join his for what will prove to be his last campaign both their performances especially was a high point in their careers at warner brothers we know through history that is riding to his doom that and the fact that this was their last screen give this scene such a special if your eyes don't you are made of br br as history they died with their boots on leaves a lot to be desired as western adventure that successfully mixes romance with the action you can't beat this film at all,positive +the plot is simple an american couple is in vacation in thailand somehow they are attacked by the chinese vampires and the girl is kidnapped by the big boss of the vampires this is ok till now the girl's partner is left to search for her and now the horror begins he comes upon a strange group of semi vampires or something they only animal blood these vampires are in conflict with the bad guy for about years however with the help of the the guy begins to search his girlfriend br br now the fight scenes begin what a karate movie without fight another thing i have noticed is that the vampires are very ugly guys i mean a vampire is an old fashion guy he is alive since for ever he's got style there are also modern vampires but in this movie the vampires are weird like come on they ride a bike they are all dressed in leather and they destroy everything in their way br br the worst thing is that you can clearly see that this movie it is an low budget one the script is boring and the actors aren't too talented the music is pretty good but the effects are not that great br br to sum up the movie it is not that great but if you have a free afternoon watch it and tell me if i'm right or not,negative +created the russian montage theory and this film is his finest example it took years before someone could his ideas and make them work the 1999 nonetheless the baby scene really demonstrates the nature of granted like most movies it gets long in some parts the beauty of the film is amazing one of the best silent films i have ever seen,positive +if a joke doesn't offend anybody it isn't funny br br the cartoons are offensive no doubt about it so is rap music get over it i suspect that any sane black person will find the cartoons hilarious and that the people who are offended by them white people who still think need their protection against racist humor br br seriously the cartoons are funny it me that not because anybody is really offended but because somebody might just might be offended i can't buy cartoons or the african queen or song of the south on dvd,positive +wow what a horrible hideous waste of time this celluloid atrocity turned out to be i remember seeing it years ago and thinking it was fun but now it's just plain silly not to mention the fact that it is a blatant rip off of the exorcist to the point where it was re released at one point under the title the sex the only real difference is that the producers have the to further themselves by on the claim that the events in the film are real who in their right mind would actually believe such a bold faced lie to make matters even worse there was a video release in with cover art that blatantly tried to cash in on the rocky horror picture show by throwing a pair of lips on the cover how low could one possibly sink do not be fooled by the false claims blatant lies or title rip off because you will be sorely disappointed if you do,negative +by what an mess revenge incestuous love mechanical games like fighting and utterly unnecessary violence some primitive music away at the victims big surprises which actually tend to be about as as the national add some shoddy camera movements pretending to be stylish and creative and you've already impressed the crowds this movie's totally popularity the very low level pop sub culture has succeeded not only in achieving in the last decades but also in as taste on an audience for by far deeper insights into human under mental sickness without s vulgar i recommend an older dutch french movie the br br well don't believe there's absolutely nothing good to say about this movie in fact there is the in famous scene in which the hero is really a hero an father who sleeps with his daughter and then attempts to obtain rather than redemption eats a live benefits greatly from the vivid presence of the best actor in the entire cast the itself too bad the poor beast having been eaten couldn't survive its one and only act in order to obtain yet another worthless for the best actor at the cannes festival br br which festival by the way between moore's propaganda nonsense and this epitome of worthless if somewhat exotic weirdness became a festival of the vapid and of the ludicrous br br gloria,negative +there is not much to add to what others have already commented the movie fails hard where it shouldn't it has no depth in the planning of the heist and the characters are so unbelievable br br one thing that got me thinking was that although the rest of the gang is trying hard to remove the from the doors of an truck because there is supposed to be no other way of opening it the guy inside the truck with great ease manages to remove the floor of the truck which happens to have a hole in it so he can get out and then get back in without being noticed by anyone because no one else could think that he could get out from there or even better that they could have gotten into from there br br promising but not quite there,negative +stylish thought provoking cool and gripping – just four aspects of a film that will long remain in the thoughts of this viewer br br slow paced it may be at the beginning but the director with beautiful camera work sophisticated compositions and elegant editing the unfolding of the story not so much the narrative line but the revelation of the characters' inner is masterful br br olivia who plays sophia the hotel who finally breaks down the icy of former tony is beautiful and reveals hidden depths and personal honesty in her brief but profound relationship with br br the mafia middle man forced to live out an empty life tormented by insomnia in a swiss hotel becomes caught up in the similarly empty lives of the older couple who owned the hotel but are now forced to live there as residents after the husband away their resources years earlier the husband is constantly dreaming about recovering his lost wealth and making a grand statement to the world his wife realises this is but a dream this nicely the of who sees no way out and does not seek one br br the fleeting love affair between and sophia has consequences that no one could have it him to escape his prison without bars but to pay a huge price that he willingly accepts and in doing so provides redemption for the older couple,positive +wow just caught this movie from blockbuster and i love finding gems like this while it was definitely shot on a budget and misses a little bit in clumsy editing i e accident hospital scenes second to last end scenes for a first directorial effort i give this 10 stars i absolutely loved the thought provoking concepts brought forth and if you're a free and open to ideas outside the box i highly highly recommend this movie i think the director and writer jay should be given some attention and more opportunities in the film industry based on his credits he may be another quentin tarantino,positive +a very good film focusing on a very important issue alcohol syndrome is a very serious birth that is totally if more families saw this film perhaps more children would not end up like adam performs in one of his best roles ever this is an excellent movie that takes into account a very special family with very important needs this is not unlike thousands of families that exist in the united states today there are children struggling with this world wide the really important point here is that it all could have been prevented more people should see this movie and take what it has to say seriously it is well done with important messages handled in a way,positive +drew barrymore gets second chance at high school on undercover assignment as newspaper reporter in flashbacks we see that the first time around was to put it mildly a major disaster david arquette is amusing in modest role as brother who also to help out lots of subplots but never simple charm of movie drew keeps making her as major innocent sexy light comic actress,positive +this dvd set is the complete widescreen 15 episode run of surface a television show made by universal in 2006 the full running time is 10 hours and minutes plus a few bonus features deleted scenes cast interviews special effects this was a relatively high budget show and much of the budget makes it to the screen in the form of quality production design and special effects br br unfortunately 10 hours is a lot of time and as typically happens with this type of stuff the overall quality begins to fall off in the later episodes i found the first 7 episodes 1 and 2 extremely engaging and the remainder a disappointment surface was produced written and directed by josh and and it appears that they were surprised by the success of the series and unable to together enough good subsequent material as they rushed to fill the order for additional episodes it even looks like additional writers were brought in for the later episodes because the characters who were already the weakest part of the series lack with the way they were played in the early episodes the series was canceled and although the last episode provides a conclusion of sorts there are still a lot of things left hanging br br it is basically a science fiction story about created dragons sort of a television blend of jurassic park and et the story begins as a puzzle as a crew less navy sub is found at sea on a texas lake are sucked into a in africa is destroyed by a huge monster etc etc and as long as things stay this vague there is a fair amount of tension and suspense a human element is introduced in the form of three american families one on each coast and one on the of mexico laura lake bell is a california marine who discovers a strange creature rising from an on the ocean floor rich jay r is diving with his younger brother in the when a similar creature drags his brother away never to be seen again br br miles bennett carter is a teenager who finds some strange eggs floating in the ocean he takes one home where it into an et type dragon he will spend the rest of the series trying to hide his strange pet from his family and from the local authorities these dragons may look like but they are more like electric firing causing lightning strikes the sea of fish and like a bunch of randy when they find an of water as long as it's uncertain whether or not they're intelligent or harmless the premise is interesting once you begin to suspect their origin it all gets very tired and predictable br br jay r a bad actor in the tradition of david essentially plays the richard dreyfuss character from close encounters of the third kind so you know that with a better actor and a better director it could have been an interesting character you will grow to hate this character more with each episode unfortunately what starts out as three parallel story lines is soon into two as and bell a low budget version of sandra are soon paired up and involved in a series of moronic adventures almost as improbable as the stuff jason bourne gets himself into you expect plot holes and the need to suspend disbelief in this type of show that can even be part of the fun but their adventures are not just totally implausible they are utterly and completely boring there are three episodes that feature and bell together in a that will have you longing for the excitement of an all day br br miles is the strongest member of the cast and the segments with his pet dragon are inter cut often enough with the boring bell stuff to keep you watching and these segments benefit from the presence of gorgeous of recent girl fame as his sister apparently the producers picked up on the importance of this to their teenage boy target audience and the one positive thing they did with the later episodes of the series was to introduce as a first love interest for miles so as screen time is gradually in br br in retrospect they needed a third storyline to keep viewers engaged and it would have been better to limit the adult melodrama in favor of a second group of young actors br br then again what do i know i'm only a child,positive +coming from oz i probably shouldn't say it but i find a lot of the local movies lacking that cohesive flow with a weak storyline this comedy lacks in nothing great story no overacting no melodrama just brilliant comedy as we know oz can do it do yourself a favour and laugh till you drop,positive +this film is a perfect example of great i loved this film and was sucked in from the very beginning sure it's just an action flick but isn't having fun what watching movies is all about br br the cast of this film are very strong with likable characters the friendship between the boys is so realistic and appealing it's heart warming and hilarious to see a group of teenage boys interact especially this group of boys sean makes a great rebel successfully avoiding being a teenager br br if you want fun watch this film i thoroughly enjoyed it even though i was watching it on a very dirty and old vhs that was terrible quality go dvd's,positive +i found to be a lousy attempt to continue the success of the story the original movie was a story about evil and how it can our lives br br version is lacking in evil viewers do not get an overwhelming sense of dread fear or even foreboding version offers evident evil shows of the and builds a convincing story that is plausible given father background story leaves one wondering exactly what happened does not evoke the emotions of the viewers to empathize with father and leaves the viewer wondering exactly why he was troubled in the first place br br anyone interested in seeing a sequel which lives up to the original should see exorcist the beginning,negative +having not read the book i was more open to the fresh interpretation that each director gives to their medium which is film not to the letter of literature on this particular film i was happy that the holocaust that occurred in russia and it's countries finally received some attention the nazis were particularly cruel to russians and russian jews if you read the and see the built in and nearby you will understand this movie and why many kept silent when they should've spoken up br br it was certainly time for this to be and i hope that more stories will come out of this it's high time,positive +i agree with andy this is a good movie kevin character is believable throughout the film we're forced to hate him and with him paula who plays puts in a good performance too it's thought provoking and without any over production credit to director alison and writer for that a very worthwhile viewing the pace of the film is just right raising just enough interest in the subject matter to reel you in rather than you with facts in a documentary style nice little soundtrack to go with the film too again used not to distract you from storyline recommended,positive +spend your time any other way even is better than this movie the jokes aren't funny the fun that are dr aren't there a very lousy way to waste an evening my kids 4 16 laughed a little at the beginning the younger ones got bored with it and left to play and the older ones left to play and surf the net my wife left and did so i finished it alone it was the worst kids movie i have seen if you want to watch a fun kids movie watch shrek 2 that movie is fun for kids and their parents avoid this movie it isn't funny isn't cute the makeup is about the only good thing in it and you can see that on the disc label,negative +after the death of all senior officers commander craig scott of the and finds himself promoted to command of an spaceship owned by corporation its chief mission is to search for planets and of course long term coffee br br craig scott and his second in command chief find themselves ill prepared for command except as they are fully able to keep the clean which is not to the importance of clean especially when incompetent cause those same to be well on a regular basis br br the episodes are presented as a series of short 2 3 minutes reports by the commander to earth the humor is a mix of deadpan and outrageous physical comedy think yes minister meets red dwarf but on a shoe string budget all the usual plot devices of sci fi are here aliens nuclear weapons computer but each is improved by the fresh of high grade br br is definitely low budget but the somewhat cheesy effects and props fit the absurd premise of the show remember those hilarious hockey they wore on the old battlestar galactica with the brand name still visible okay there's a lot of that in but it's cute br br ain't high art but that's not what it's trying to be it's just a little bit of off fun it does a good job of being that,positive +another nice entry in the crime doctor series 4 10 with atmospheric almost black and white photography and some splendid spanish american backdrops and sets and a more off the wall storyline too br br a man who looks like the insane murderer of his first two wives is found dead in a locked room after a dramatic dinner party the crime doctor is on the scene ostensibly as a guest to immediately and it murder and so we are presented with a quite weird set of people to over for one of them did the deed was it the brother of the dead 1st wife the 3rd wife and rich widow brooke the dancing brother and sister vampires the intense young man the eccentric maker lloyd on from boston the butler or odds on police inspector had his work cut out but warner as was as as ever in working it all out one of the goofs listed on the imdb is wrong on breaking into the murder room says right through the centre of the and replies he didn't miss this time favorite bits and travelling through club and beer at the nightclub to make for their interrupted dinner party the scene where the place of is seemingly the plot does seem to a bit at times and the way it was all explained off was perhaps more worthy of but leaving it in the air as supernatural wouldn't do either br br well worth a watch if you already like the genre you won't be disappointed unless you really don't like the genre,positive +emotionally insecure tom russo felt reads the secret diary of his sexy wife and is to discover that the love of his life has apparently been sleeping with every bloke she meets this shocking revelation sends poor tom off his rocker and he proceeds to bloody revenge on the men who he believes have been his old lady br br in my experience really really bad films can often be as much fun as really good ones and no film featuring a by enhanced ceiling fan should ever be considered completely worthless but even though killing spree very occasionally manages to entertain with its and cheap and cheerful gore i found that the terrible direction awful production values ugly cinematography sound dreadful lighting mind numbingly tedious and narrative which includes a really dumb plot twist that is from the beginning plus a pointless zombie finale nasty score inane dialogue and thoroughly amateurish acting all served to make this effort from writer director tom ritter a virtually experience,negative +clint eastwood scores big in this thriller from 1993 teamed with an absolute master of edge of your seat suspense peterson eastwood delivers as only he can also john goes on my list of most effective screen villains in the history of cinema as the demented assassin as for russo as love interest i think kirk douglas said it best when he said referring to his own career i keep getting older and my leading ladies keep getting younger this film is a very effective thriller with enough plot twists and surprises to keep you going eastwood and peterson should team together more often top notch movie,positive +i really enjoyed the film it was really cheesy at times they destroy the villain with hair but where are they in it's a unique film though and i enjoyed the acting of and hope i also enjoyed however you write it liking because she called him a besides the acting the and showing what happened on and then point of view was quite interesting i saw it twice and i'd see it again,negative +a remake of the silent film based on the novel by maurice the detective series would be made into numerous plays films and tv series in the uk the us and france over the years this 1932 version starred the barrymore brothers john as the duke and lionel as detective they would also star together in grand hotel dinner at eight and several others over the next couple years karen shows up in the bed during a party in this pre hayes code film first the lights go out in the bedroom then they go out in the main ballroom then the search is on for the crook and the missing jewelry as well as other missing you can tell hadn't been around too long as they still use cards several times also watch for a new kind of safe that doesn't need a combination well thought out plot no big holes but no big surprises here either not bad for an early film clever ending,positive +being somewhat an independent filmmaker myself i really understand what these guys were trying to do and it sounds like a good idea on paper on film however it's awful i didn't realize the thing was made in the mid 90's because the film was so grainy and bad i would have this was one of those 30 year old flicks where a porn producer tried to go mainstream and the sound ugh i don't know what kind of they were using to record but it sounds like someone is walking over dead leaves throughout the entire thing i guess i shouldn't judge too after all how many feature films has my company put out none but i'd like to think that we'd at least have good picture and sound quality to go with our poor acting writing and directing a for idea f for execution,negative +duck of death needs to watch this film again as his major criticism is completely the film never once forgot about the time and it was mentioned in a couple of places the crew were never shown having conversations with mission control that didn't the time rules br br one thing i did think was a bit far fetched was the amount of risk involved would a crew land on a planet on which pressure suits would only last two hours i doubt it would a space ship go into a i doubt it would humans land on a moon that was being with huge amounts of radiation i doubt it also the ship seemed overly would a ship designed like that risk atmospheric flight to slow it down i doubt it would it survive being hit by i doubt it i think in both cases the on the structure would be too much but all in all the unlikely scenarios were by some nicely done special effects good editing and production and some good acting especially by the actors portraying the commander and the russian,positive +as a fan of the book this work is fantastically adapted remaining true to the source and an honest respect for the literary work the translate well to film by virtue of ron good eye for detail and sound devotion to authenticity br br i like hanks as robert his portrayal is genuine and with only the of the we all knew and loved back in the day he is a good dramatic actor and while i miss his comedic efforts i do enjoy his more serious performances br br the subject matter is no less controversial than the code and the seems to never learn their lesson as with the aforementioned film the holy see a and called for a global catholic of the film which of course generated millions in ticket sales br br although the story of the god was played down dramatically and the science was written out of this piece of science fiction the fiction that was left was entertaining and extremely well done and the truth be known people who have not read the book will not notice any missing or lesser element to the story as the screen version carries the main story well on its own br br in fact it is not necessary to have seen the first installment of this franchise in order to enjoy this second which should have been a prequel in all honesty although that does not the nor does it with the continuity or flow of this second work br br all in all this is good for a friday saturday viewing although the execution may be a bit rough for the small ones br br it rates an 8 8 10 from br br the fiend,positive +it took me years to finally catch this gem of a film and it was worth the wait in nearly all of his films clint always plays the hero be it hero anti hero or hero in this film he is pure villain and he plays it well br br as a wounded union soldier he is brought into a girls school by the students and teachers to soon after he begins to seduce the ladies no matter their age and some are quite young he also plays upon their and them against each other in the end you are never so happy to see clint die a terrible death br br that is what makes this film such a gem clint has never done any other film like it and after seeing this film you wish he had he plays the role of the villain so well it will make you wonder why he never did any more films like it it also explains why the film is not seen very often most people don't want to see clint as the villain and with dirty harry being released shortly after this film it has become a hidden gem if you are a clint eastwood fan you owe it to yourself to see this film you might not like what you will see but you won't soon forget it,positive +i saw this originally on channel 4 uk and it was a fantastic film that left a great impression on me however i saw it on irish tv recently and there was an added narration by roy we're going to need a bigger boat this ruined the film for me his monologue adds absolutely nothing to the film and if anything takes from the films brilliance i wonder at the new dvd version that has no roy due to legal reasons would stop people from buying it well believe me the film is much better for it br br cheers br br,positive +this was the very first kung fu movie that i have ever seen the dubbing is not the greatest but alot better than some that i had seen the plot is much better than some that are made today it is gory at times but that is what gives it that special push academy award material is it not but if you like to watch fights and a decent story this is for you,positive +i finally got a chance to settle in and compare the two versions of this film currently going around first the good old sleazy vhs print called and then a new fully restored italian dvd by everyone's new favorite media company no shame of italy br br the american about men turned inside out is as everyone says totally misleading and of a roger take on what otherwise would be a superior fantasy adventure thriller for grown ups the complete italian version is a somewhat well designed and deliberately paced take on island of dr and there's nothing wrong with that it's a handsome euro horror outing with a brain good plotting character development location shooting period and sets etc br br but i must admit that the 14 year old still lurking somewhere inside of me got a bigger kick out of the more lurid sleazy and roger corman version which has some nice over the top gore a flashy but preposterous opening segment and then the bulk of original film albeit somewhat to make room for idea of entertainment the pacing was somewhat the shock sequences closer together and you see just as much of ms fantastic form as you do in the extended italian version br br i still don't have much of an idea about what the specific story concerns though there are a number of plot twists and incidental characters that were somewhat hard to keep track of a local voodoo subplot didn't help much and it's funny how everything in just another between the noble prisoner and the mad scientist perhaps a few more viewings are in order i will say this fans of the movie should themselves of one of these pal and take a look at what is actually a movie rather than just another murky old home video the widescreen shot compositions once again reveal that martino had an eye for filling his screen with interesting stuff nobody gets their heads ripped off like in the print but it's still interesting stuff and once again proof that while his standards may have been pretty much confined to the area around the roger corman new good trashy fun when he had it made for him and side by side these are actually better movies than they had to be br br 7 10,positive +living in romania i was almost stunned by the very realistic setting for the scenes and the great care paid to local details by the director the performance of anthony queen is absolutely great and the rest of the cast does a great job supporting him the movie does take a little knowledge of the east european context in order to be fully enjoyed but it remains otherwise a great performance with some memorable lines the ending is maybe a bit too melodramatic but that's actually the way people are in this part of the world i believe the screenplay is great because it presents the horrors of the 2nd in a most original manner no blood no still lives are and the smiles you get every now and then throughout the movie are quickly killed by the war realities touching the characters,positive +the box to this movie totally itself the cover shows a view of legs in a short the title is ' the synopsis on the back of the box made it seem as though cat the main character was an who became one of the popular students but that popularity lead to a bizarre lifestyle that she could not escape from everything that the box built this movie up to was a horrible lie i expected a sort of crappy direct to video version of targeted at the teenagers of today br br let me tell you what was really about yes this really is the plot so if you don't want to know what happens stop reading we have one unlikable boring rich girl this unlikable girl's best friend is a the gets from school so the unlikable girl befriends some british girl this leads to the unlikable girl dating this boring guy who the box refers to as the most popular boy in school ' if that guy was the most popular guy in their school i wish i would have gone to that high school because i could have kicked the crap out of him anyway as any movie will tell you the most popular guy in school is a murderer or drug addict or thief or in this case all of the above anyway everyone ends up the unlikable main character because she is jewish then the most popular guy in school beats her best friend the to death with a rock because the caught the most popular boy in a homosexual act the unlikable girl's stoic mother and younger brother are there for her at the end oh and the entire movie is about rich kids and their horrible parents too gee what is wrong with that that sounds like a fantastic movie well that's what i thought but you see there are no likeable characters in this movie the main character is boring the filmmakers made her average while during the film she keeps off about what a freak she is the is not enough and has little screen time the popular guy is nothing to write home about the popular girls are just your run of the mill rich girls there are no moral lessons cat the boring main character is not a freak does not ever become one of the truly popular girls and worst of all after all the crap she goes through she thinks she is still too good to the only nice girl the girl to be honest i have no idea why the movie is called i kept asking who's the is she the are they all at minutes this is not a long movie but after actually watching this awful waste of a vhs tape and not knowing who the was i was surprised that the movie was only an hour and a half the movie felt like it was two hours and some change after a while i was hoping the movie would be about pop at least when you look at a box of pop you know what to expect,negative +a holiday on a boat a married couple an angry and a is the reason to this films beginning br br i like boobs no question about that but when the main character allies with whoever happens to have the most fish at the moment mostly by having sex with them and playing the role of the constant victim my anger just rises to a whole new level take two guys a husband and another man put a pure woman in the middle of them ad a deserted island all her moral issues ad a whole bunch of moral issues to the men and mix it in a big bowl of arguments fish and a lighter and you will come up with a piece of junk movie like this br br the acting is i would say good there are some but not many as far as i could see the main female character makes me sick this is due to her lack of moral values the man with the most fish her attention even though one of them is her husband she sees no problem with being with the other man because i must do it to survive how can you justify having sex with another man for fish when your husband is away and he won't even benefit from it the female character has absolutely no problems to justify anything that she does if she get for her actions she's a victim br br i recommend everyone to see this movie this is the kind of movie that will make just about everything else you see this year a pleasant movie experience,negative +another hand held horror means another movie that fans should still seek out and make up their own minds about br br imagine a cross between the blair witch project and the grudge and you're close to the overall content of this movie it's another horror but this time most of it is edited together in for a video doc that was never completed by a supernatural investigator who disappeared br br i certainly had a feeling of dread while watching this movie does anyone do dreadful better than our asian friends but the creepy moments the genuinely creepy moments were sadly a bit fewer and between than i had hoped i also felt that i was two or three steps ahead of the investigator when apparent revelations appeared throughout so i certainly can't recommend this as highly as br br having said that it would be of me not to highly recommend any film that goes on at length about worms contains at least two subtly spooky ghost moments and made sure that i had to put the lights back on for a while when the sun went down br br check it out if you have been enjoying some of the other hand held genre releases of late and the finale is a hair raising br br see this if you like the last broadcast pulse angel heart,positive +it hasn't even been two years since i first saw this film and yet i can barely remember a thing about this movie needless to say i found it to be very forgettable of what i do remember nothing stands out as particularly good a talented cast is wasted in what i suppose was meant to be a dark comedy but if that is the case it fails miserably at best this film is mildly interesting at worst the seemingly are more interesting than the storyline if you like watching films where it always seems and cool then i guess you may find something to like in this picture just try to ignore what else is going on because it is barely watchable,negative +finally watched this shocking movie last night and what a disturbing it is and unbelievably bloody and some unforgettable scenes and a total assault on the senses looks like a movie from the minds of lynch specifically and even a little of what this guy does to his pregnant sister is beyond belief but then again did it really happen or is it his left and right sides doing battle that's the main theme of this piece of art to draw a fine line between fantasy and reality and what would happen if the right side of the brain that dreams and the reasoning and logical left side and the music in this movie is unbelievable a kind of electronic score that is absolutely perfect even though this movie is totally shocking and pretty disgusting in some of the most extreme scenes including hard core sex you will ever see in any movie i viewed it as a work of art and loved it and that music still me i have to try and find the soundtrack if is available watching cruelty is a real event and not something the viewer will easily forget and a note to this is a must have br br warning be careful buying this movie because some have on the graphic sex scenes and extreme gore especially the copies from the japanese release,positive +i am a huge fan of the game huge fan it still holds a place in my top 10 games list of all time the story line was new fresh a truly brilliant foundation to base a movie on or so i thought br br the movie is no less than another directors attempt at in on a successful game franchise see doom the movie and many more br br the video game begins as the player jack in a sea side cave after been shot off his boat by an from an unknown soldier jack then finds a communication device where doyle him across islands and to find his lady friend valerie all the battling mutated super soldiers and enhanced animals br br the movie plays out very very differently 1 there's a needless 30 mins 1 3 of the movie of before we even get to the blowing scene 2 jack then walks onto the beach kills some then drives off nothing like the game 3 there is no with doyle on the other end 4 the look like with on and there was no mutated creatures jumping out of the a part of the game i enjoyed 5 there is no sun filled beach scenes no aircraft no stations on huge little reference to any in game characters items vehicles in fact no attempt to follow the story line at all 6 the climactic scene from the game is replaced with an old industrial building 7 there's an ending scene where everyone except live happily ever after what the br br i recommend avoiding this movie at all costs if you are a you will hate this movie will all your soul it is a movie clearly intended for males so girls stay away so if your a male 12 years of age have never played and are not disgusted by directors attempts at books games to the cinema then this is for you,negative +it's painfully clear that all effort in this film was directed toward cinematography and very little attention to everything else most obvious mistake is the miscast of the entire female cast many of them are very experienced and capable but they all seemed out of place and having an amateur director certainly didn't help the story is a very common geisha story and characters very thus making it extremely difficult for me to connect with the heroine br br this movie's theme is modern prostitution but still it was annoying how lead character kept talking like a female motorcycle gang member while everyone else spoke in old japanese fitting for this setting this movie has very beautiful vibrant colors similar to zhang hero but viewers can easily tell it's filmed in a cheap elaborate set br br the two sequences with insert songs were really nice though in mid section of the movie i actually really disliked her music before but they fit perfectly in this movie although is a complete failure as a film director she has a major potential in music video production br br i believe the story felt very plain because the director failed to focus on character development and because unconvincing acting as an had this film been directed by a known director with any other known actress in japan it would've had the potential to become a masterpiece,negative +in this horrible attempt at a blair witch a bunch of people go to africa to investigate a creature called the half it's pretty obvious that there was no script to speak of and that everything was improvised that can work if you have good actors which this film didn't br br this movie tries to gain points for originality by exploring a more obscure myth and an exotic culture as a result there are a lot of scenes out in the bush where characters do quirky african stuff like eating elephant dung there is also some pretty good footage of lions eating from a national perspective but there's not a single scare in the whole movie br br if you've seen cannibal holocaust or the blair witch project this movie will hold no surprises for you and you can probably watch better lion footage on the discovery channel br br definitely a half effort br br a note to the filmmakers guys do us all a favor and next time save the how i spent my african vacation home movie for your family and close friends nobody else wants to see it,negative +this film is far and wide and beyond any shadow of a doubt the single worst and most film in the history of the universe br br it really is that bad br br personally i have always enjoyed the guilty pleasure of a terrible film and rented this one thinking it would be one of those to my immense disappointment it was not br br the script is delivered in a way that sounds as if they're reading the lines directly off the story makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and the actual film looks like it was shot on a home video camera i couldn't even finish watching it it is even worse than witch academy and that's quite a feat in itself br br i cannot even begin to how a director could shoot this film and then still have the sense to believe it was decent enough to release br br painful awful horrendous,negative +fairly appalling enterprise suggests to be an artist drawn to the violent he knows best but unable to resist vacuous in banal fantasy the first story is a ham meaningless with a b movie sci fi premise the second achieves some but only via the outrage inducing of visited on its central character the third and most seems to to being a sequel to child's play the direction is consistently clueless all sound and fury a slave to the extreme of the environment in an ill chosen music score and in flashy acting this is sheer stupidity as a sensibility as and hollow as the abstract images that link the three sections,negative +this isn't exactly a complicated story it's not a mystery or a plot you have to spend time re watching because you missed an part of the dialog claiming a movie has to be seen multiple times for you get may apply to a very few films however this isn't one of them those type of movies have substance and are so involving it's easy to miss an important portion of dialog or a subtle nuance to plot details you may have overlooked with ghosts this doesn't apply the main flaw in this movie is an absence of detail it jumps from one character to the next never giving enough substance to any one set of scenes to allow the involvement of those watching because of that you don't connect with any of the characters you don't get to the point where you care either the main actor is gone just as the movie seems it's going to redeem itself or their actions are despicable and you're not inclined to anyway to go very far to help is a good example his to commit himself further mirrors the overall tone of his part the only characters you may feel for are when she's being and then tortured after her rape by any focus on her character is pretty much gone following that the only other in depth involvement comes from the best scenes in the movie centered around to with family and her fathers all out attempt to force into a bogus confession and getting his daughter back then just as things start to be developing again they're gone from the movie i've read a lot of the comments here about how the movie didn't know what it wanted to be etc i found that basically it succeeded in not being much of anything from return and the viewing of daughter by everything seemed nothing more than contrived without much of a storyline no effort to really examine the times they lived in took place the essence of who was didn't other than his actions or lack thereof proving him to be more self centered than anything else as for his art the movie seemed intent on a few of the paintings he did but again away another opportunity in the reactions to this work rather than the work itself to sum things up best the movie had no it grossly lacked the substance to delve into the historical environment it covered and upon ending left you feeling like what you'd just seen was a series of attempts to engage the viewer by switching from one thing to the next without adequately engaging the viewer in any of them you can't watch something like this several times expecting it to improve with added examination there's just not enough to it to waste the time it's not a case of your missing out on something it would just be more proof that the ingredients needed to make this movie good just aren't there as for best film ever made it's not even the best film i've watched today,negative +george is and always will be one of my favorites the hero of his generation nobody mentions in the same breath as john ford howard william or billy wilder and yet look at his filmography from comedies the philadelphia story holiday psycho a double life a great semi western in pink not to mention my fair lady or travels with my aunt he was at the service of his actors he never put himself in front of the camera i feel a certain watching rich and famous flashes of the old master still very much in evidence gives us for the first time in her career glimpses of the wonderful comedian she was about to become is a to the days of and loretta young and hart steps in us promising something spectacular that will eventually in 1989 with apartment zero meg ryan as daughter is already meg ryan as tired as the formula is it remains a film and for what i gather one of favorite movies,positive +some modern horror movies are very good strong plot scary moments good acting while others are just unfortunately belongs to the latter camp br br i will rate the movie based on 3 elements plot scary factor and acting br br 1 plot true to the name the movie the plot moves in circle and never really explains itself ok the town is captivated by the spiral curse but why and why do people act so there is a fleeting attempt to explain about what is happening by the reporter br br 2 scary factor if this was meant to be a horror flick it has failed miserably i can't really remember one good scary scene with plenty of build up to it br br 3 acting very monotonous people walking around saying meaningless i can't really feel much empathy for our tragic heroes br br all in all there are much better modern japanese horror movies out there with coherent plot and strong characterization don't bother wasting your time on this wannabe,negative +this extremely low budget monster flick centers around a group of mine exploring an abandoned gold mine in order to see if its worth they get trapped after a cave in and find they are at the mercy of a strange slimy creature which seems bent on knocking them off one at a time the word that most came to mind as i watched this movie was the script and acting is terrible the stop motion monster effects were unintentionally funny and since the bulk of the movie takes place underground lighting the sets convincingly looked like a nightmare all that being said however for some reason i felt this movie failed not from lack of effort but maybe from either a lack of budget experience and or lack of creative inspiration the whole thing came off like it was either a college project or a first film made by amateurs i have a certain amount of affection for films like that even when they completely miss the mark i guess what i'm saying is i give it an b for effort and a d for actual results not bad as some low budget monster movies i've seen but still not worth seeing unless you have a lot of free time on your hands i'm voting it a 4,negative +man with the screaming brain is a story of greed betrayal and revenge in the a small town william cole wealthy winds up with part of his brain replaced by that of a russian cab driver the two couldn't be more different but they share one thing both were killed by the same woman brought back to life by a mad scientist william and form an unlikely to track down their common nemesis br br bruce campbell returns to the b horror movie genre that gave him his cult status this time not only in front of the screen but behind the lens unfortunately for this time around the laughs don't deliver and campbell has to resort to what he does best to try and fill the gap in this film br br as a fan of campbell who has the movies the books and the action figures i was hoping for another hit to add to my collection although after seeing this film before the purchase i am glad that i don't have the pleasure of adding it br br the film first goes wrong in the story which at first sight seems like harmless fun but turns out to be boring drawn out which is a sad thing to say because it was written by mr campbell himself the comedy never really hits it only makes us scratch our heads it seems that campbell ran out of things that are funny and resulted in giving the audience what we've already seen him fighting himself br br ted the brother of evil dead director sam is undoubtedly the highlight of the film he brings a to it and an entertaining time when the film really needs it it helps if you are a fan and have been following these stooges from evil dead to which is why i felt compelled to like this film br br experience as a director from directing episodes of the tv series is apparent campbell makes the film work well enough even with the low budget in the end there aren't as many things going for this as one would hope for but the fans of campbell will stick behind it no matter what unfortunately for this fan i won't,negative +radio is possibly one of the best films i have ever seen while at the same time one of the worst it made me laugh in places where you were supposed to cry and made me cringe at moments you were supposed to laugh it lacked any kind of character development which is usually crucial to a sentimental flick that this is some questions why did ed harris character take radio under his wing this was not properly explained and i'm sure their relationship which is the main aspect of the film is the most pointless if ever seen br br who keeps on giving cuba gooding junior work he is a crap actor and should be heavily until he takes up another line of work br br as true stories go this is not that interesting p s the reason i said it is one of the best films i have ever seen is because despite it being complete i still enjoyed it laughing at the script and most monologues which are truly the work of either am idiot or someone very clever trying to show how easy it is to release a crappy film about a who becomes favourite joke the fact of the matter is character is comedy fodder for the people who watch the football matches,negative +i saw this when it came out in theaters back in 1996 i remember i was already familiar with work that's right he made stuff before lord of the rings and the tie ins to the film were pretty water guns were even br br adults were reminded of the old movies and tv show and for sake took their kids to see it who were excited because it was a movie about a and a stupid boy br br unfortunately it wasn't what anyone expected and severely you know a movie's in trouble when a boy away from a hammerhead shark in the middle of the ocean and a pack of scare the shark away and the kid instead of getting out of the water into a boat in the water for five minutes his for saving him apparently he hasn't taken into mind that the shark is still out there perhaps even below him br br another problem is paul hogan he looks old and tired of his croc by now no one even remembered crocodile much less hogan and i half expected him to suddenly start pretending he didn't know what a hair was for the sake of fish out of water social satire laughs br br all in all this is a really poor family movie that is amateurish and almost hard to watch at times i hated it when i saw it in theaters back in and i hate it more now,negative +usual awful movie i'll not bother you about the synopsis just put together the core an evil military officer and one or two solve all and you'll have the movie if i can call it that way br br seriously in this kind of movies are more useful than swiss army knives br br the big one is approaching some places and it's over a wants to destroy insert important city name here insert another important city here a is it a is near to go off it coffee is cold it you didn't like transformers yourself but i can't assure this will fix things br br in the end how many more movies like this can be made before they start one another i doubt there are still many things to blow up with a,negative +i'm sorry but i just can't help it i love watching iron eagle now do not me i am not saying that this is a great movie no rather i would put it that this is an endlessly entertaining movie for people who cut this movie to pieces for not being realistic are kinda missing the point of course iron plot was ridiculous but i believe its target audience was kids and i sure remember finding this cool when i was little now i just find it amusing as a guilty pleasure kinda like road house this movie is part of the great of 80's kids taking on the adult power structure movies you must remember d a r y l real genius e t etc if you ask me just watching doug and ride the snake in the beginning is worth the cost of the dvd that whole sequence was so stupid but at the same time it was hilarious funny totally 80's all that good stuff so bottom line iron eagle is a great 80's guilty pleasure the the dancing the music the dialogue its all funny as hell i have iron eagle on dvd and to me it was totally worth 9 99 at best buy if you love laughing at dated unrealistic action movies this one is a must see oh yeah and i think its plot was only than other fighter pilot action top gun,positive +well this was the last pay per view event of the millennium and it ended the year and millennium right the huge story line of stephanie and started right here at this event when turned on her dad vince had a great match with and this event is very good i give it a 9,positive +this was a very disappointing movie i would definitely call this the worst movie of all time br br the acting and writing were poor and the jokes were not funny br br i don't see why on earth this piece of crap was even made i'm not a person and i can enjoy stupid things but this is just way too stupid and just plain awful br br avoid this wretched piece of garbage at all costs,negative +most of this political thriller presented as a mostly run of the mill movie with a somewhat better development of many of the major characters that was much appreciated until the big twist and powerful climax that twists experienced in silence of the or the sixth sense reese as the wife of the missing egyptian husband and as the strong armed offer strong performances jake unfortunately is handed a more two dimensional character and has to with a stereotypical presentation of the emotionally torn cia that has been presented many times before in other movies early on there is the nice scene with an explosion that resembles a scene at the end of saving private ryan the silent scene that was used so effectively in one consequence of violence the script also provides a little more glimpse into the mind set of the enemy but still doesn't allow the audience really much understanding again the audience to in stereotypical characterization the cinematography and photography also is somewhat of a letdown because unlike or down the crisp raw visceral presentation is missing not allowing the audience to really be there in the movie there is some distance that keeps the audience from realizing the intensity of the emotions occurring on the screen however overall the movie itself by the end offering the audience a look into the complexity of the united use of rendition and the possible complications and consequences that may occur through its use eight out of ten stars,positive +it happens often while growing up a hollywood movie a youth it not only lasts a lifetime but inspire him to study ancient cultures as a career such was the case with the 1954 film entitled the egyptian audience were with the sets costumes and great acting of this film so much so other films soon followed in like vain this is the story of a young egyptian boy who was left parent less soon after he was born with such a dubious beginning it is not hard to wonder why he will spend his life asking questions the boy sin oh way which means that is edmund grows to and continues asking why even as he from the school of life to become a during his years he a friend named brilliantly played by peter ustinov and victor mature who raises from a simple officer of the guard to commander of the his life offers everything from a quick rise in social status to condemned criminal to a wondering and eventually to a station in life he never expected fine acting goes to jean simmons as merit michael as as the and john carradine as a memorable grave tommy plays the son of the egyptian in his final years that is alone ' finally discovers the answer he had been seeking all his life which he to his son now in the care of his friend excellent film,positive +but not this one i always wanted to know what happened next we will never know for sure what happened because was baby i am a fan of gone with the wind and i could not have been more by the movie i did compare scarlett to the original because any film worth following needed to be on the same quality level as the first was cast beautifully although no one will ever compare to mr gable i am also a strict leigh fan she was scarlett she fit the bill not another actress in this lifetime or another will ever fit the same shoes but with scarlett the job could have been done better not enough thought went into finding the proper scarlett that was evident br br overall something to look to but if you want to know the what happened to scarlett and i suggest writing it yourself or finding fan fiction this movie is not worth the time,negative +a ridiculous badly acted mini cooper includes cameos from etc br br absolutely nothing worth here particularly bad are donald sutherland the music score scene transitions etc an embarrassing production br br hey they should pay you for watching this one,negative +was a real life poet and rogue who lived in paris in the century however most of what is portrayed in this historical film is actually fiction from a play created at the beginning of the 20th century whereas in the film he met and became friends with louis in reality he died in his 30s and was never involved in all the like he was in this film in reality he wrote some lovely and was frequently on the wrong side of the law not the combination of a and robin hood like character like he is in the film provided you know that the film is nearly 100 fiction then it's well worth seeing just don't assume it's a good history lesson br br in the beloved rogue is played with wild abandon by john barrymore i was also pretty excited to see that his three friends were all played by very familiar faces who was the dwarf played in tons of films over the years and had a very long career slim was a character actor known for adding a touch of comedy to films mack is best known as the silent film foil in many of short films and played his partner in the gold rush all four of these men did a nice job and have no complaints even with rather over the top treatment that was rather reminiscent of a douglas fairbanks performance however the performance i had a serious problem with was conrad as king louis to call this would be a gross understatement he played the role like a high who thought he was supposed to be the stereotypical richard iii about and acting like a caricature while was wonderful in many many films both silent and sound but here he is just ridiculous br br as for the story it's full of adventure and action like a film minus the ships the sets worked out well for all this as they'd been used the previous year for the of dame both films were set around the same time period br br overall it's one of the last great silent films there's a lot to like and the film is a lovely combination of romance comedy and action well worth seeing though it loses a couple of points for overacting as well as the way the film plays fast and loose with history br br by the way this film was also made twice as if i were king and 1938 and apparently these two films are closest to the original play however in total six films have been about and tell more or less variations on the same tale,positive +is one of those awful which manages to get into and give a bad name telling a tale of twin sisters who crawl from a car crash which kills their parents and then hit the road while happily making goo goo eyes at some guy and ending up on an army post so no army would want it yeah right an apparent attempt at a coming of age flick is an almost complete loser which wanders as the players drift in and out of character finally ending clumsily with a shred of credibility to be found anywhere not recommended for anyone,negative +the stars and the planets must've all been in just the proper the day that thriller was conceived michael jackson's album was the john still had a lot of good will built up from his genre an american werewolf in london not to mention his classic comedies animal house and the blues brothers and choreographer michael peters was creating some of the most innovative and influential pieces for music videos of that period br br not before or since has one single piece of film exploited or incredible talent or the more aspects of his persona quite like thriller the world's most successful if not officially the first long form video and the most remembered also the most expensive at the time but every penny and every bit of the talent behind its creation and execution is up there on the screen and how would it not be complete without the rap from the original song provided by the late great vincent price to add even more to the chills already there br br the glory days of one of the world's greatest performers have long since passed but no one can ever take away the man's achievements of which this is probably the most memorable if you don't think so now remember halloween is coming i won't be one bit surprised when like other before it going back decades this appears on some saturday night creature feature special br br as it will next year and the year after that,positive +this is one of the best horror suspense films that hollywood has made in years or maybe even decades even though in my opinion this movie was predictable in parts it has everything that a good film in this genre should had chill thrills and yes a lot of gore house of wax sure delivers in parts it was sort of far fetched the acting was not that great but my rating for house of wax is an eight out of ten if you enjoy being at the edge of your seats this is just the right movie for you i have to admit it was sort of neat seeing the whole town made out of wax i myself enjoy these but after seeing this film i will now look at them in a whole new different way,positive +after the lush inspiring shot in fast motion in the opening of the movie this slipped into utter boredom and a one tone note right till the end br br where to begin well i'll start with the characters i really enjoyed them in the book here they all were types and one dimensional morons that either had victim or written on their from the get go how any one didn't see through the store owner in a hammy and out of place performance by is beyond me br br this film lacks in thrills suspense and in some sense yes entertaining values it stretches itself for far too long with not a lot of pay off why introduce too many annoying should die quick type of characters and then forget about half of them half way through in the book practically everyone that went into the store met a grisly fate here besides one of the only decent scenes that translated well from the novel the fight between and was a letdown and didn't have much balls i'm sorry but after one off screen death a boring shoot off and some and then a couple explosions just didn't do it for me the brutality and mean from the book was sadly missing the explosion of the church scene was so over the top and badly executed all of sudden the entire city was in a it made no sense and characters that weren't introduced all the way through suddenly are who are these people and why should i care br br the story is all over the place and none of the scenes had momentum i thought ed harris and bonnie were good actors in this but the movie gives them not enough substance for me to give a damn amanda plummer was credible but too pathetic to really be sympathetic in the novel she was a sad and depressing character here it was a too one note j t walsh was entertaining but the role was far from interesting or layered too predictable br br the soundtrack was too classy for the material it was supporting it stood out like sore thumb easy there buddy easy something a little less theatrical i'd assume would have worked br br i will admit some of the gore it did manage to have was good enough i guess the director seemed to hold back a lot of the times though if your going to make a movie that reaches the 2 point be sure to have far more going on then this disaster of a adaption of on of kings better novels br br i often found myself laughing at scenes that were suppose to be taken seriously ed harris speech at the end or the character hugh priest in general and was bored and most of the other time personally the director should have done so much more with this story his approach is too tame and hides behind too much crisp cinematography to ever come off as a decent movie the movie looks good but not the look i think this story deserved i mean this dude not a good sign br br i'd rather just read the book as you should too as if it is far more entertaining layered character development grisly violence and mayhem a nasty sense of humour and far more this is a butchered version that has not much to offer br br out of,negative +this light for cassavetes love story is pleasantly conveyed by two wonderful performances by gena rowlands and seymour rowlands was never more beautiful as a repressed damaged mid 30's woman who meets her match in seymour is a of energy and romantic notions on his terms br br there is a great supporting performance by val as swift and an unusual as always timothy carey that's worth the price of admission made between husbands and a woman under the influence this is most accessible film that should touch the heart of anyone especially the cassavetes who claim his films are too long and heavy at times made my top ten that year and not seen by enough people an 8 out of 10,positive +20 people rated this a 10 that box was stuffed better than a christmas turkey speaking of here's a traditional story hoping to back on the current poker without success told entirely in linear flashback and when i say told i mean talked to death this film never let's a picture suffice when words can be used to br br childhood fascination with cards and his with might sound like interesting movie material but the director manages to suck the life out of them at no point did i feel the least bit of sympathy for a genius at cards who threw it all away on other forms of gambling at which he was not so of course this leads as we through three musical montages to the inevitable spiral of drugs loss of family and finally his redemption sort of big yawn,negative +although i am a fan of heather thomas and i have a few of her old bikini posters around here somewhere i can honestly say that if the only movie i had ever seen her in was i would never be able to guess why she had made it as far as she had in show business br br directed by fred ray about as good an omen as seeing circle over head in the desert this tale of a woman thomas who must protect a high tech motorcycle from types is about as b movie as it gets or in fred case b minus br br the cast itself should tell you something it's not every movie that combines thomas with actors the of hall combs and if you're lucky very few movies do and even though they seem to be having fun shouldn't some of that fun be passed on to the audience i vote yes seems they voted no br br of course if you ever wanted to see heather deliver an to another woman use the f word and get hooked up to you've probably been looking for this one myself i'll be content with old fall guy reruns br br one star given in hopes that when another hits town heather runs for shelter i know i will,negative +iv been a fan of and ever since i can remember weather its young ones or bottom and i just have to say i have never laughed so much in all my life guest house is bloody brilliant i know its not going to be cup of tea with the slapstick comedy violence and foul language but then just don't watch it if it ain't yours its not like no one knows what sick and twisted things and come up with when they're working with one another i think its unfair that this film received such a from critics because and i don't think i'm the only one to think this this film is 10 out of 10,positive +it's as if the stay man from had been in body and is taking revenge upon a pregnant wife if seeing an chase a very pregnant imagine the spine thrills in that contest sounds good to you see this film seriously if is what an looks like after six years in prison then hungry people everywhere should make a line to a jail in overall assault rates 2 stars instead of 1 because mike mitchell as is terrific mitchell burns up the screen as a pilot until his plane is burned up itself by an enemy the film loses what little it had to begin with,negative +this was a great film in every sense of the word it the subject of in a society that is quite of any from the norm it a great many indian customs that many find oppressive such as the of by others the importance of status and face religious the of women in terms of their baby making capacity the concepts of duty and so on at the heart of the film is a touching love story that goes beyond such limitations of the society which the two protagonists find themselves the film is well acted and genuine completely believable from beginning to end unlike most bollywood flicks the main faults of the film as i saw it was first that the two lovers seem drawn to one another not necessarily by a natural for each other as much as the fact that they are stuck in dead end with no passion and no this may play a part in the sexual awakening of the characters but most people stuck in the same situation will not turn homosexual it seems clear from the beginning of the film that the two characters are quite when does her scene at the end of the movie with she makes it quite clear that without desire she was dead and the was that if he had desired so he could have her quite completely and also when seemed very disappointed when her husband seemed to not like her such situations do not turn people into they may seek comfort in others in the same position but film it is not at all made clear that they are lesbians from the beginning quite the opposite some people are it is true but most tend to be either or homosexual in the case of the ladies in the film both had for husbands if this had not been the case would they have naturally found the need to express their desire in a relationship that they may have otherwise not have considered the film ignores this the other fault is the of the characters the names and seem contrived deliberately to shock and outrage imagine a film in america depicting a gay relationship between a man named jesus and another named paul by using names associated with various the film is strong enough to stand on its own and needs no such devices in my opinion at any rate the faults do not take much away from the power of the movie it is indeed a very touching and powerful story the images and characters will stay with you a long time after you leave the theatre,positive +in 1982 from a los angeles production this is probably the finest example of a filmed stage musical you are likely to encounter on dvd in 2004 in a digital transfer it is quite stunning and lansbury give the performances of their lives and the rest of the cast are quite obviously caught up in the electricity generated of course it is music and lyrics that make this possible if anyone doubts that he is one of the of the american musical form listen to this the sets are stark as the plot and clever in allowing the swift scene changes required and the cameras catch the action without the fact that this is a stage production a central move able and revolving platform is mrs pie shop with the shop upstairs around it are various and moving stairs to allow the rest of the action to take place the brutal tale of injustice leading to revenge murder and mayhem is with dark humour and comic moments does for what hitchcock did for an important work in american musical theatre is here given an performance,positive +director ford cast mike christy fritz ford br br based on the number of comments i see on imdb this seems to be a forgotten movie this seems rather ironic to me because it is actually one of the first movies that i remember my mom took me and my little brother to see this film at the garland theater in when it first came out in the mid 1970's and i still remember it br br i am going by memory here but i believe this move is about a who was accused of a crime which he did not commit and the law goes after him i believe it to be set in a narrator tells the story of the played by mike really this is a very good film with a great setting it could be compared to the 1981 film death hunt with charles bronson the two films have a very similar story line the main difference between the two is death hunt is an adult film whereas challenge is a family friendly film br br mike and were both rather old when this movie was made which i find rather impressive when one considers that this movie was filmed on location in the of this was the last film made by before he died which was just a few years later they both had been around since the silent era,positive +i watched the pilot episode for this one with high expectations having just college and moved on to real life i was not in a but a lot of my best buddies were and i got to in a lot of the that they did in their house so i know what goes on to some extent br br this show is obviously a not a documentary in any way of greek life or college life for that matter although it does hold a lot of truth albeit exaggerated for the most part if you watch the show for the value it contains as a tv show and nothing more it is very entertaining much like movies such as old school animal house etc if you watch it expecting it to all of your experiences in your own college life you will probably either be left wanting more or mad that they over a lot of events,positive +like a lot of stars of the big screen as their careers wound down so many turned to television where probably they their for donna reed is a case in point br br i don't think donna reed ever thought that donna stone was anything challenging not to a woman who had won an oscar for playing a very different type in from here to eternity she was certainly better prepared to play wife mother and donna stone after having played mary in it's a wonderful life br br donna was always beautiful and wise and ever helpful with the problems of her kids and her husband carl was not an idiot he was a who had his office attached to the house talk about the man being ever ready in a crisis br br though this was the donna reed show because husband at the time tony owen produced it yet it lasted as long as did because of the popularity of the two children shelley and paul had that best selling teen record johnny angel which she introduced on the show she successfully made the transition to adult star most known for her role in coach as craig t wife br br but was a teen idol back in the day the donna reed show dare i say got most of its viewers because of him it's forgotten now but also had a best selling record my dad didn't do half as well as johnny angel br br now paul runs a support group for former child stars like himself so many of them end so it's good work that he's doing br br the stone family was the of middle america they lived in a near chicago they led wholesome lives mom and dad were always there for the kids of course the problems they had usually were nothing more than breaking br br it's this series i believe was the model for the tv town of where maguire and reese are sucked into br br i have pleasant memories of the donna reed show easy to take but not too seriously,positive +there is not much of a plot to this movie there is a wealthy baseball team owner who dies and whose wife is going to sue the hospital for not much more than that but it does not matter br br it does not matter because you have some real actors giving their dialogue life and because of the cast you have yourself some hysterically funny scenes and even if you're not cracking up laughing you have a smile on your face br br matthau plays whose wife recently passed away and who finds himself the object of desire of several women at the hospital he is delighted to taste everything on the menu available to him then he meets anne glenda jackson who at first is a patient in the hospital their first scene together is very funny and then they meet up again on a television discussion show where they disagree on nearly every topic that is discussed br br begins to like anne and vice versa except that she is very big on in the men in her life her husband was a and they decide to give it a shot two weeks of br br i will not give away anything else but i want to mention the chemistry that matthau and jackson have on screen she is usually not the first person anyone would think of for a romantic middle aged comedy but her touch with comedy is very light and she is matched every step of the way by matthau who is more charming than ever he does not have to play mr sensitive or mr macho to get the girl he just has to be himself br br art is a riot all by himself as a practically doctor the scene where the baseball team are buried at home plate is priceless he also has a very funny scene in a parking lot with richard benjamin richard does not have much to do in this movie and more often than not is just the straight man to and matthau the role does not tax his considerable talents but he had to have had a good time making this comedy br br very much recommended 8 10 br br ps matthau presented jackson with her first best actress oscar and jackson presented best actor to art for his role in,positive +dead or alive final the movie that supposedly brings together the three films in the very loose dead or alive trilogy and connected mostly by its stars and sho and that each film has its share of world and and of violence is admittedly the weakest of the lot that none of the three films ends up being a disappointment is less a testament to the creativity of the material but to the pound for pound guts that director takashi miike takes with the surroundings and the material here he presents an overtly future however low key where a homosexual mayor dictator richard has the entire village drugged except for a group of rebels there's also robots in this year of one of them is a robot of complete lethal skill but also with the capacity to love and learn and so forth then a cop happens to be the top guard but things start to unravel on both sides up with the rebels and with his though blood like a hostage trade off gone bad and with finding out his wife and son are robots not done in an alien mood mind you just suddenly as if in a the power went out and that he himself is one as well and it all leads up to one last inexplicable showdown between the two men br br strange that there's yet another film where miike has peaks and here sometimes finding that middle ground of success where science fiction can have some meaning to it but there really isn't anything to take from this story except that the mayor dictator is a with no back story who gets his rocks off making sure his drug stops couples from getting pregnant and that everything remains under control he also has along with him his love slave i'd guess in the hilarious non speaking part of a player who also sometimes as a human when not away the moody blues meanwhile we get the conventional sides to and stories and they're never uninteresting just not totally convincing enough to hold interest of course miike isn't above having some fun like when michelle maria in to the water to get her to swim after a near assassination attempt on the mayor or in having the original rebel leader speaking english for no good reason at all there's even a playful homage to old sci fi cartoons at the start of the film but there's nothing very compelling substance wise with the exception of minor turns at becoming good through the film helping one couple get by with to have a kid and mostly miike's strengths this time are purely and in the choice of locations and sets br br it's like a japanese where everything still has a contemporary feel through all of the special effects and i really liked the yellow green miike used through the movie as it very well in scenes and added just enough in the scenes but as for peaks and one sees this ever more clearly and the sci fi movie channel level of visual effects with maybe a few more dollars put into it during the climax this contains some of the funniest material in the most delirious sensibility from the director even if it has to get started by unbearable the way that and finally meet up is sort of random and just a means for the producers to try and cheaply tie together the past two films when it wasn't needed on the other hand in terms of the sheer guilty entertainment value of a flick like miike's where one sees something totally unexpected and very sexual it ranks right up there with the best scenes in happiness of the and visitor q overall dead or alive final is a cheesy 90 minute effort that doesn't take itself too seriously and is better off all the more for its wicked and cultural hang ups put on pulp level display,positive +the viewer who said he was disappointed seems to be wildly missing the point here this is a superb movie excellent and realistic portrayals of a middle class jewish family in beach brooklyn of long ago the nuances are perfect and i felt the casting of everyone was superior i especially found the acting done by just perfection especially the speech she has with her daughter when the daughter comes home late one night that scene was oscar worthy but really all the acting was fine i recommend this movie it is a fun family film and delightful to see how a lovely middle class family lived in brooklyn so long ago see it and you will be glad you did has some very funny lines and the eugene character is a real comedian very funny,positive +the movie heart of darkness is an insult to the book by joseph conrad to be quite honest the movie made me want to fall asleep on the other hand the book was definitely extraordinary i feel that the movie left out several key elements and missed some of the main points from the book in addition the actors were boring and lacked originality and enthusiasm br br the book while not an adventure story or easy to understand is full of hidden meaning and interesting twists in the plot the book though very confusing and complex is astonishing when you do finally understand it you feel as if you have actually learned something the or short story had several key ideas like and which the movie left out in addition several key scenes were changed which in return affected the entire plot many of the scenes seemed to be very choppy in the sense that they did not fit together in summary the movie seemed to be a bad interpretation of the book br br i would only recommend watching this movie if you cannot picture or understand the book but otherwise i would skip this one it was dreadful and in complete if you have never read the book then definitely do not watch the movie because you need the basic information from the book to understand the movie the movie was a horrible spin off of an outstanding and detailed book,negative +and i for one think that is a good thing i've just never been a russell fan although the original was my favorite movie but i love bette and was thrilled to hear she was making this br br as for the rest of the production i think it was slightly less than the original movie one of my favorite minor characters in the original was with her on the voice out hey it takes a lot more than no talent to be a and although i missed it i was glad to see the producers had the guts not to do a copy br br i also liked the fact there are large portions of this movie which were filmed as if you are looking at a stage it gives a feeling that you are in the theatre not just at the movies br br i think the other thing i liked about this production was that there seemed to be slightly less of the song let me entertain you which becomes completely annoying after about the time you hear it,positive +definitely not a film to the industry or introduce any new techniques of film making this is a very handsome and solid production it's that we can today enjoy it in superb quality on dvd probably most of the viewers about a 100 years ago saw a black and white copy as the de edition was available only at the very best theaters even if you are not fascinated by this film or the subject of it you can't but marvel at the copy released by image entertainment together with another gem from the to the cross it's virtually impossible to see a film that is over a century old but shows so little damage the process of was a very effective one and compared to the occasionally and images of hand film the colours are crisp and well defined filmed within the limitations of the film making as known back in when the filming the static nature of the scenes can today be considered almost intentional and the keep moving at a steady so the film never gets tedious you might not be fascinated by this film as a work of cinematography but it sure is handsome as a work of academic art if you are a religious person the fact that you are watching anonymous long since people playing long since characters adds to the mystery significantly a proper viewing for christmas or br br p s i've the contains spoilers box just for fun as you can see i haven't revealed the ending,positive +all of the great horror movies of the 70's 80's and even the early 90's from psycho to texas chainsaw the original not that over wb crap to silence of the the characters in these movies were based upon the crimes of ed the writers and directors into the true story for the inspiration for creating some of the greatest fictional movie killers of all time br br the old horror films were great because even though the crimes were loosely based upon the facts of the case of ed they were truly fictional and far removed from the true story br br in the case of this movie they've created a fictional horror film in which they tried to capitalize on the true story in order to sell a cheap poorly acted love story between two characters that nobody really cares about in fact in a good horror film these two characters would have been excellent victims br br end of lecture br br in short this film was like wearing underwear on a cold afternoon on a nice cup of vomit,negative +i absolutely adore this film about a lady barbara stanwyck for a major magazine who delivers a article each month that includes details about her awesome home life as a wife and mother in a beautiful home the trouble happens when the owner of her demands that she have him and a ww2 hero as guests during the christmas holidays why is she worried because she lives in a small new york apartment isn't married and doesn't have a baby and can't cook at all hilarity and romance ensues when she tries to put on a believable act in an effort to save face keep from being fired by the magazine owner played by sydney this is a delightful comedy one that i highly recommend to classic movie lovers,positive +when a stranger calls belongs to the group of this year's remakes with movies like just over the horizon director simon west con air this updated version with plenty of relative unknown casts which either the death rate is high it isn't or that established stars are clear from a potential turkey br br in at a relatively short minutes it's primarily made up of two acts the first which takes a full one hour is the setup our heroine jill johnson belle up minutes of talk time on her mobile phone do the and as a lesson in responsibility her parents had her mobile and grounded her to pay off her debt she works part time as a babysitter and looking after the wealthy kids is her first br br the huge mansion gets a full tour treatment as it is where all the action will take place plenty of rooms makes for good hiding an pool sized pond to get wet in for the wet t shirt treatment and check this out motion lights which you just know will contribute to the scares with the manipulation of lights and shadows naturally prank calls red herrings are which up this runtime but most of them fall flat in the suspense department br br there's a minor trend with actors being the unseen providing and acting through their voice instead recent attempts include edward norton in kingdom of heaven and hugo v for here lance does the for the anonymous psychotic killer but it just falls flat why the script doesn't give him much dialogue most of the phone calls made were of the silent mind nature which i felt was a waste they could have also casted some unknown instead and the job will still get done br br the second act where the main action takes place is too little too late and the well is purely a those expecting blood and gore will be disappointed as basically it's a one woman show to hold your attention in the first hour eye always succeed and this act will have her resolve everything in double quick time ala rachel mcadams in red eye don't expect any form of character development nor subplots that will engage br br the ending tried to be too smart for its own good and came across as a cheap way to end the movie there's not much of goodness to highlight from this movie no scares no thrills no enigmatic villain and plenty of security flaws especially with that door alarm the only thing it's good for is to provide a number for,negative +i was a child when i saw this serial a bit after seen buck rogers one both characters performed by the same buster and i must acknowledge that these films have always been part of the best entertainment i've ever had the fight against emperor was one thing but i was more interested to know about the final fate of the love triangle of flash with and aura came and aura to forget flash very innocent of her obsession for good looking flash the serial has no offensive and really violent scenes and can be watched by all audiences another thing is that i learned floating in water looking the way did it when fighting against shark men the soundtrack was also nice although it was used previously in another film of boris frankenstein it would be nice to have the dvd of this serial provided that it comes with subtitles in spanish not yet available,positive +has some really good music and performances kid and the james white and the blacks moon the mel vincent lunch etc but aside from this there isn't much more to it the dialog especially the narration by williams is actually pretty good but the performances are all pretty bland or outright bad no matter how many are thrown in debbie harry and jean micheal the latter being the leading role both still don't have enough cultural to keep this film from being a novelty item it goes for the a jack style but doesn't have the insight to keep it moving along which is where the band performances come in i guess its pretty balanced in that regard between great music and bad acting and i did enjoy it but i just expected more though it does have a fairy tale ending,negative +this is one of the dumbest ideas for a movie remake a classic film shot by shot i hope nobody tries this technique again in 1998 good will hunting director gus van tried it by hitchcock's 1960 classic psycho and failed miserably what on earth was van thinking of this remake doesn't even come close to the original the few changes that were made here were no help if you want to see psycho the choice is obvious see the original br br out of four,negative +i don't want to seem too much of a but if the accidental death of a by a time caused such an enormous change in the how could that be since the would have been by the blast of the anyway and how could time keep going back to the same moments and not keep meeting up with their prior and later who were also at those same few minutes in the it seems there would have been quite a large crowd standing in front of that dinosaur br br while i can accept the idea of a time wave i seriously doubt the wave would have caused only a few changes as the wave passed all changes that would have happened would have happened at once during the passage of that wave so scratch the idea of the city starting to become with jungle and why jungle at all the location of the city would have still been at the and it was before and would have had appropriate to its place on earth br br and an endless list of other illogical br br this flick is a weird combination of some fairly decent production values and totally ridiculous plot holes and factual errors br br too bad a terrific story idea that was up with silly science br br sigh why why why why why spend all that money on production and not even bother to the screenplay to see if it made some sort of actual sense,negative +how sad it is when a film as wonderful as jurassic park slowly into hackneyed and mediocre territory throughout its franchise the sequel jurassic park iii has given no thought to characters a story or pretty much a script and instead relies on non stop dinosaur action which is neither thrilling nor very interesting to watch the dinosaurs seemed to look incredibly fake compared to the 1993 technology after 7 years of cgi it only gives you more of the feeling that the film was out for the summer relying only on its name the introduction of a does not a great movie make br br go see shrek again br br,negative +how his evolved as both man and ape was outstanding not to mention the scenery of the film christopher was astonishing as lord of christopher is the soul to this masterpiece i became so with his performance i could feel my heart the of the movie still moves me to this day his portrayal of john was oscar worthy as he should have been nominated for it,positive +a small town davis slowly begins to realize that she has suffered and really use to be a secret government assassin soon there are men after her and a small time private detective samuel l jackson br br this was action packed with some great special effects and really funny one liners especially from jackson although the action may get a little silly at times who cares after all aren't movies meant to be a good time br br craig is fun as a ruthless villain the movie itself was an all around good time just don't expect to have to think too much about it because then if you take it too seriously then the movie actually won't be fun but stupid instead br br this movie doesn't deserve to be called stupid or any other bad name,positive +the very first time i heard of latter days was when i was renting dvd's and i was interested as i am a member of the lds church i found this movie very heartfelt and in several areas it made me cry the reason for this is that too many years ago i knew a young man who went through what aaron played by steve does in latter days but unlike aaron this dear young man did not survive the ordeal he ended up taking is life after his church his friends and his family him because he was gay there have been many people who do not think that the things that are shown in the movie really happen in this day and age but the sorry and sad thing is they do for those of you out their who are gay and young you need to see this movie and if you are a gay mormon you really need to see this movie plus if you get the dvd there is help for you listed in the dvd teenage suicide in the gay world is very disturbing and this movie touches it but that part is hidden to a degree the acting and the music is excellent this movie sold out every movie house that it showed but it only showed in major cities and had a very limited release so for those who would like to see this movie i would recommend the dvd release the only people that i know who did not like the movie are members of my own church and they did not see the movie because of the subject matter gays and the lds church see the movie experience the story and feel the emotions that are in this movie you i feel will not be disappointed,positive +what the hell is this movie about well if i didn't know that son of the mask is as comedy i would never have a clue a comedy a tragedy that's the right genre for this yet another so called sequel br br yes i've watched dumb and dumber but i never believed somebody will ever make it's title real in hollywood yes you watch son of the mask and you think 5 minutes dumb 10 minutes dumber 15 minutes dumbest and then after 16 minutes there is only one thing to say i'm out of here br br sorry my for comedy crap of the year 2005,negative +the man is one of the best foreign films i have ever seen all the technical aspects are in my opinion perfect lighting acting directing pacing etc the story is breathtaking br br seemingly beyond death our main character finds himself a world without beauty passion or anything remotely pleasing to the human senses his work is cold and uninteresting his relationships are and uninspiring and when it all becomes too much he seeks to end it in front of a train but it doesn't end he can not leave this strange world by suicide working his way back to a man who seemed to be feeling he same isolation and loneliness our main character joins him in a stone wall in hopes of revealing the source of a strange and wonderful smell and music just as they break through and i will not reveal that much it all comes to an end and the movie ends as oddly as it began br br suffice it to say you will either love this movie or hate it i feel that it is like a magical poem open to many different interpretations and all of them as valid as the next if you enjoy new experiences in film and want to be taken away from hollywood's crap feast try this movie br br 9 10 and i don't rate easily because in spite of its darkness this movie left me with a sense of something greater something mysterious and beyond ourselves well done,positive +the actors in this dark film are truly believable and well cast the quality of the camera work makes you feel as if you are there the screenplay is intense and does not wander the plot is one that makes you want to watch it a second time from the new perspective gained by the ending we showed this film to a small group of at center for cultural arts after the film ever was eager to discuss the film and one person called me the next day to say that they were still bothered while we put an 18 and up age on the film i would watch the film with a youth group as it is a very real portrayal of an ugly situation and sets the stage for great conversation,positive +this multi thriller kept my attention throughout it is disturbing and informative to see how perverse human behavior can be it is also as to what past wounds can present behavior no one save sandra partner is very likable however all are believable sandra did an excellent job her character cassie comes alive with all her pain and fear and she is a survivor and so her life experience finally brings her to a healing moment i enjoyed this movie very much tom,positive +i no words no words can describe this i will try for the sake of those few brave people who stick knives into their after watching this show br br this person her acting is like watching a female gorilla dance upon the nest of highly insects perhaps i however i have a feeling that the description fits a regular day of writing this show br br the characters in this repulsive pile of raw are as useless as a small piece of space rock that flies into the sun on any day of the week though heart attacks have not been experienced while watching them act like fools on the cheaply built sets i have no doubt that it will happen eventually br br the main plot of this into the faces of the actors is that of a foolish girl who a live weekly web cast on the titled com with her brainless friends one of which owns equipment that the producers of this show probably couldn't afford her legal guardian is some kind of moron who is apparently her older brother br br i haven't watched all of this show for fear of developing cancer or perhaps a cold but some of the plot points i have seen involve the brother getting stuck in an elevator the of the apartment almost and the world's priest coming for a visit no really br br avoid this if you are over the age of unborn or if you have a history of joining mysterious due to mental trauma if you do decide to watch it laugh when the laugh track tells you to as this will out the repetitive noise that will eventually put you in a coma if you listen to it for too long br br the show receives a one star rating because the imdb inexplicably has not adopted the use of negative numbers,negative +i watched this after seeing death tunnel this being without question the worst movie i've ever seen in my life so you can understand i went in rolling my eyes a little at seeing the directors and producers of that cinematic gem being in charge of this one first of all i thought the director and producer were the same guy they both are kid rock meets the bounty hunter i watched the investigation and i am not a i think is the closest one will ever get to a scientific method in the field that was cool and believable i do believe they are haunted br br but this like the reviewer above mentioned like taking a tour okay a tour fine but the and group leaders seemed to make a pretty penny and have a financial investment into whether its haunted or not so when they have stories i have to take it with a of salt br br as someone else mentioned i could make out whatever they wanted me to see in the picture about 50 of the time the rest of the time i couldn't make out anything also without any context to the photos time of day type of camera in the room dust which 75 are what the are weather and a other factors i cant accept them i also cant help thinking that some might be br br why would that band keep the numbers from the door also during the investigation they tried to dig up the death of those and they only found one which was ruled accidental people didn't want to officially suicide yet when one of the was mentioning this he said yep and its marked suicide it really felt like the to the haunted houses here in october br br i did however like the interviews with the patients and staff from the old hospital s that really gave it a lot of perspective and a personal touch i'm also glad that they mentioned that the staff had the best of intentions and weren't some they weren't the best methods but its all they had they were desperate to stop the disease,negative +i loved this movie from beginning to end i am a musician and i let drugs get in the way of my some of the things i used to love drawing but my friends were always there for me music was like my life support and my drug it changed my life i can totally relate to this movie and i wish there was more i could say this movie left me speechless to be honest i just saw it on the channel i usually hate having satellite but this was a of having satellite the channel shows some really great movies and without it i never would have found this movie im not a big fan of the international films because i find that a lot of the don't do a very good job on lines i mean the obvious language leaves you to just believe thats what they are saying but its not that big of a deal i guess i almost never got to see this amazing movie good thing i stayed up for it instead of going to bed well earlier than usual lol i hope you all enjoy the hell of this movie and love this movie just as much as i did i wish i could type this all in but its again the rules i guess thats shouting but it would really show my excitement for the film i give it three thumbs way up br br this movie blew me away,positive +his has to surely be one of the worst gay themed films of all time who told any of the so called actors that they can act bad sound bad script gestures so overboard that they defy reality a nightclub scene with only one actor and dubbed crowd scenes br br after seeing other low budget films similarly made i was prepared for something innovative but not plain pathetic br br parents and friends really should not encourage anyone to make such tripe br br and the dvd no menu access its worse than a vhs tape once you start you have to watch the whole thing through luckily the fast forward button works with this film and dvd nothing else does,negative +sherlock holmes and the secret weapon starts in switzerland as the world's foremost detective sherlock holmes basil the manages to a brilliant scientist named dr william post jr out of the country to the relative safety of london but is london as safe as holmes thinks dr has a revolutionary new bomb sight that will change forever he has agreed to give it to the british government but those want it just as badly holmes arch enemy professor lionel plans on stealing the secret of the bomb sight selling it to the add the bumbling inspector denis of scotland yard dr love interest charlotte mysterious scientists a puzzling message holmes has his work cut out to keep dr alive so he can deliver his bomb sight br br directed by roy william sherlock holmes and the secret weapon was the fourth in a series of holmes films made between 1939 1946 to feature bruce as holmes watson the script by edward t lowe jr scott darling edmund l is based on the short 'the dancing by sir arthur conan doyle isn't the tradition holmes murder mystery as it's more of a wartime adventure story to neglect what holmes is all about the solving of complex crimes mysteries is a big mistake as far as i'm concerned the involvement of the the war as a backdrop to the story feels out of place awkward just didn't sit too well with me the dialogue isn't great professor feels almost like an as if they couldn't come up with a villain for it as a whole it's far less engaging than other's in the series however at least it's short br br director does his usual efficient job but you have to cut it a little slack bear in mind that it was made over 60 years ago it has no real style or imagination lacks both atmosphere intrigue as well br br technically the film is ok if the black and white cinematography is fine although i understand that a computer version is also available the acting is alright bruce do their usual comic relief turns in this looks ridiculous i'm glad he changed it for later br br sherlock holmes and the secret weapon was a disappointment when compared to some of the other excellent entries in the series there is very little by which i can recommend it everything that made the other's so good seems to be missing here leave this one till last watch some of the better ones first for die hard fans only,negative +this weird movie from texas is about fallon a rich boy in the late although he looks like a 60s c w singer with hair and whose ship on an island owned by count de with his captain the count is afraid of pirates and a young girl who was once a pirate hostage and also the captain meanwhile creepy former nurse tells fallon the secrets of the castle the has and went mad fallon is trapped but brings supplies the captain is killed by a racist caricature slave fallon is thrown in the with the who always thinks it's her wedding day the bride is horny kills her fallon and escape the castle but the count and his slave chase them with dogs kills the slave and fallon kills fallon and fall in love over the course of the next year but when the supply ship comes the crew refuses to take our lovers because they're both now they live for years in the castle hair turns gray and goes fallon puts her in the our tale of love and ends br br so bizarre it's watchable and you can smell the drive in popcorn,negative +now i loved lethal weapon and kiss kiss bang bang but i cannot believe black wrote this pile or that david morse and john c are in it i screened it for a film festival awful everyone was laughing it's preachy and heavy handed not to mention stupid also it's surprising how little l a looks like cambodia the entire idea of time traveling through post traumatic stress disorder is kinda dumb imagine born on the fourth of july mixed with the effect 2 i used to sequel as the example to really show how bad this movie is but directed by michael 2nd unit director that bad the 2 stars are purely based on the production value,negative +this is a weird and compelling film the topic about the bombs created at los in the usa and used on japan during the latter part of world war ii is huge and of course deeply disturbing the film's plot takes on a lot of heavy issues and the actors have to carry much of the creative tension i had never seen the film or was much interested in it i have to admit until i read the book smoking in bed conversations with bruce robinson robinson wrote the story and screenplay i think the film was better than i expected from reading point of view in the conversations about it but i can see how he thought it got i think paul newman is pretty good but is somehow at bottom miscast he's too hollywood at one point a big mean looking guy into office and has such a striking presence i immediately thought he should be playing the character newman is playing the other lead who plays the head scientist is also fairly good but somehow not brilliant enough to portray the huge angst that goes with the part the immense responsibility for creation of an ultimate machine of death and destruction one of the more effective characters seems to be a personality played by john cusack he is oddly affecting throughout and in the end is the character whose fate really hits home and who made me think most vividly of the fate of more than 200 000 japanese people in and,positive +if you decide to watch wild rebels don't expect anything deep and meaningful if you're looking for a film that explores the relationships and structure of a motorcycle gang wild rebels is the wrong movie if you're looking for an expose on the breakdown of the american educational system and the problem of juvenile wild rebels is the wrong movie if you're looking for a movie that how rural police are when facing a well well organized gang wild rebels is the wrong movie but if you're looking for an absurd movie filled with scene after scene of unintentional humor horrendous acting a paper thin plot and community theater style production values wild rebels is the right movie br br wild rebels is the story of a down on his luck stock car driver named rod steve after a fiery crash which rod walks away from completely despite having only a pants and a london fog style jacket for protection rod decides to give it up with no plan for his future other than to wander through the back roads of the south he stumbles on the angels motorcycle gang a gang being three of the stupidest guys to ever up a leather jacket and a woman they seem to share this group of spends their time a rural town in florida by committing such atrocities as stealing a newspaper from a these bumbling idiots need someone to act as their driver during some larger crimes they have planned apparently these three can only drive vehicles with two not four so they rod to perform of daring that only an experienced stunt driver would be capable of like keeping the car in the middle of a road during a low speed chase eventually they hold up a bank get into the aforementioned low speed chase and have the gun battle with the police ever put on film i could go on forever but you get the idea br br i hate the term so bad it's good but that seems to describe wild rebels,negative +there is no doubt that the trail depicts a truly great event in australian military history the brave of australia against the cruel japanese army this film fails to take into account the story of the fuzzy or the new guinea natives that the used to help them carry out there military the film also fails to give a credible account of the australian soldier and his behaviour in this event it is more like an contemporary view of what is was like br br again the australian film industry has failed to give this important chapter in s history the film it deserved this is film making at its worst with cinematography bad scripting and dialogue no character development and cliché jungle scenes br br it fails to the audience in any meaningful perspective other than the japanese army were ruthless and cruel murderers of an ill and badly trained group of fighting in a jungle br br the film failed as most australian films do to attract a significant australian audience in fact they stayed away in br br i am not going to join the usual garbage of saying its great because its an australian film i say either do a great job or just leave it to some one who knows how this government film is just another failure by wealthy and rich kids br br i am giving it zero stars because its an insult to the of these truly great and their enormous sacrifice what a shameful waste and and i know this review will more from the movie show crew and most reviewers but i have a right to my opinion and that's what fought for our freedom and that includes freedom of speech and the right to express an opinion,negative +one of his lesser known films many horror fans have yet to catch this offering which is unfortunate it is mostly because of the fact that really not enough people have seen it the film boasts grade a gore with his close ups set to savage rock scores while it true that this script is not very complex it is not nearly as bad as other entries in its genre or his own personal resume for that matter br br this movie more of the that he likes to portray in his films by his own admission worth a good look on any night,positive +by far one of the best sci fi films out there however it does take viewings to understand the concept of the film and to be able to appreciate not only the special effect but the main plot of the film itself it is my own feelings that this film film got such poor reviews because no one took the time to watch the film the way it was meant to be seen it does have some moments you wish would hurry up and pass by but they are few and far between hooper who directed tcm 1 and 2 along with a remake of from mars and the does his best work here great score good acting and great effects makes this a film to add to your collection if you get the chance see the widescreen version on dvd highly recommended to any one who is a fan of sci fi,positive +so i was during my snakes on a plane weekend after the movie we some more why not snakes on a train how bad could it possibly be its snakes probably killing people on trains the snakes were supposed to be first off me and my buddies thought the snakes were harmless garden snakes and pet snakes with the same cheesy sound clip we actually sat through the entire thing completely ready to turn it off we're too lazy to walk over and hit next thing we knew we don't know what the heck was going on but something amazingly funny happens at the end it's one of those endings that you'll a few times just to squeeze the laughs out because you suffered for so long br br last 10 min a 8 rest of the movie a 2,negative +ok so one night me and some friends decided to get really stoned and watch a movie unfortunately for us we chose goes to africa ' i have never laughed so hard in my entire life this movie is beyond bad i have literally out better films than goes to africa ' i films br br the highlight of this movie for me at least was the opening sequence when ernest is making silly faces when they showed him with a head the size of a i lost it perhaps i found this so funny because at that point i was the most high perhaps you are right br br if i had to guess what george w favorite movie is i would guess goes to africa ' never before have i seen a movie rely more on 1950's stereotypes of people of color there were times when words escaped me and i just in awe br br as i was watching this i couldn't help but wonder is this movie meant for children do adults actually watch this how could there possibly be a whole franchise of movies is this really my life is this real br br i hated this movie,negative +there is a need for this kind of entertainment in our modern world you can watch ma and with adults with your family kids any age or just by yourself like me they are gentle but gentle is so refreshing in a society of kids killing kids a horrible war inappropriate prime time television and poverty we don't even get a hint of where all of those children came from give me modern and i'll gladly become a humor does not require offensive language it is hard to follow conversations in shows where every other word is relax take your shoes off and climb in your with a good old fashioned glass of and just breathe easy watching ma sweeping the off the table at lunch time,positive +i first watched this in black and white circa christmas in the early sixties when it was shown on british television i was absolutely hooked and watched it over again whenever it was repeated on tv possibly two or three times only as it happens if only we'd had video then br br as by other the plot describes the return of the after a period spent away to a forties american city he finds that all is not as he left it and his good friends who live in the just outside the garden which belongs to a and his wife are now under threat from the who are through the broken down fence which the property using it as a br br houses are being by their feet and are also often burned by cast away and matches old mr and his beautiful daughter honey childhood sweetheart are in grave danger of losing their honey shop to this threat br br to compound their problems c beetle has romantic designs on honey himself and hopes with the help of his henchmen the fly and the to force to give him her hand in marriage br br will the heroic and win the day and manage to save the community of bugs from their fate and especially his precious honey from hers enjoy the classic songs did didn't is a superb swinging upbeat example and the colourful visuals as the tale unfolds br br time has not my fascination for this masterpiece of animation and story telling and i was much pleased to find that it had been released to video although i later found out that it was in pal format never mind i sent off for the video immediately and only then bought a tv video combination complete with br br i have enjoyed many nostalgic viewings since then and have even discovered that the tv rights have switched from bbc who informed me they were unlikely to ever show the film on any of their stations to who have at last been showing it on their digital stations in early 2007 br br my aged three was absolutely while we watched it together and this is a child who has been influenced by the digital age and the resulting computer generated productions br br i would thoroughly recommend this film for any age and especially the youngest of viewers br br give max a oscar,positive +was a russian born animator living in france who did incredible things using stop motion i've seen a couple of these films before and they feature his favorite subjects insects and various animals they are extremely realistic and and even today are amazing to watch the quality is simply fantastic br br this one stars lots and lots of they appeal to their god to give them a king why do they need a king wonders their lives are perfectly fine now so to teach them a nasty lesson he makes an the king and one by one it starts eating its subjects then the once again appeal to who states the obvious moral that it's best to be happy with what you have br br while the animation quality is incredible this is a very creepy film for kids i would think this would them both by how real the animals look as well as the story itself which is not for the faint of heart,positive +set just before the second world war this is a touching and understated romantic story that is loosely based on a real event br br it concerns a german rocket scientist working in britain in the of the second world war hitler may recall him to germany to assist him preparing for war and his assistant eddie are by the british authorities to a remote scottish island they are given the task of building a rocket post box that will the to communicate with the br br and by the they set up home with local girl catherine the stunning macdonald with whom begins an affair but complications when germany comes calling br br the central romance between and catherine is subtle and sincerely played and the supporting cast is a colourful bunch with an array of respected scottish character actors including gary lewis and clive russell br br fine cinematography and a brilliant central theme song sung in the local round out this movie br br intelligent but it is good for a quiet evening in,positive +in the original french version the jokes of great funny voice are very funny br br but in translated versions i saw the german english version it's not half good than the original br br but goof special effects almost the full comic with differences like the figure of german name is placed in an other comic book br br sure the comic book are cult but when you watch the animated comic movies from 1968 to 1998 you will see much better jokes better story and the old and flair of the cult stories br br for french speaking people i suggest to watch it in it's original version with or without subtitles where available in different languages,positive +prey br br aspect ratio 1 1 br br sound format br br a lesbian couple sally and glory living in a remote country house are driven apart by the arrival of a young man barry who turns out to be a flesh eating alien the of a massive invasion br br despite its budget and pacing norman j follow up to slave 1976 amounts to a great deal more than the sum of its parts thanks to a surprisingly complex script by max apparently his only writing credit and an obsessive relationship whilst living in isolated within the english countryside rendered alternately beautiful and ominous by derek v eye catching cinematography though discovery of clothing in an upstairs room marks one or both of these eyed as psychologically disturbed which may explain the absence of their respective families some of whom appear to have lived in the house at one time or another and under mysterious circumstances unexpected arrival throws the relationship into partly because has a hatred of men and partly because is attracted to him creating tensions which result in a climactic of violence there's an extraordinary multi layered sequence in which attempts to their clueless visitor by dressing him in women's clothing though alien mentality allows him to rise above the intended mockery br br in the early scenes at least the relationship between and is depicted with grace and dignity but this heartfelt quickly into crowd pleasing episodes of sex and culminating in an explosion of horror when allows herself to be by following a violent argument with the closing sequences are quite literally gut wrenching especially final scene which appears to have been for censorship reasons in 1977 and never fully restored what remains is still pretty vivid so yourselves excellent performances by the three leads by direction which takes full advantage of the stunning locations thereby for the film's shortcomings originally released in the us as alien prey,negative +i got this movie as a buy one get one deal at troma com with the ruining which isn't much better the main reason i wanted it was to see star worms ii attack of the pleasure the dvd is a double feature with that movie i really didn't know what was at the time and when i saw the trailer i got scared it looked awful but hey what can you tell from the trailer well apparently i could tell a lot this movie honestly made no to me the special effects were so terrible you cannot tell what in god's name is going on i understand mark had a extremely low budget but come on and it is sad because in the interview he sounded like this was to be an epic film and meant more than you could see but sadly watching the film is one of the most boring hour and 15 minutes of anyone's life it is so utterly painful to sit through i really can't even explain the plot to you because i didn't understand it at all and i have sadly seen this film two times apparently they used some type of puppets for the alien dinosaurs like they did in star wars but these special effects are awful i can't stress it enough and most of the time bad special effects are okay but this film needed them badly it takes place on some futuristic planet where alien dinosaurs battle each other and bad actors in run around and they look like they are in the and some box with a blue light on it is the president i know in the interview mark said something about making this a television pilot well i can see why this didn't make it to cbs or nbc there are two good things about this film 1 the music is actually pretty good it has an epic score that sticks in your head for days and 2 lloyd introduction is as always hilarious overall don't waste your time but check out star worms ii attack of the pleasure,negative +directed by jacques cat people out of the past night of the demon and written by phillip dunne how green was my valley anne of the is a quite interesting adventure pirate movie its main character of captain anne is based on a real woman pirate anne who actually lived and through 18th atlantic br br the film begins with the sea battle where jean peters pirate ship attacks a trade ship that was on its way to europe from the south america as a result a treasure of great value is captured along with a handsome french officer pierre la louis who is taken prisoner anne ends up falling in love with him and apparently her feelings are but it's only till she sets him free when she discovers that he has a beautiful young wife molly debra with whom he pretty much in love with anne begins planning revenge on both of them but in an unexpected twist of fate ends up making a great sacrifice in order to save them instead the pirate movie cliché figure of black also makes his appearance here this time played by thomas br br though anne of the probably appears to be no more nor less than a of pirate movie clichés it still has its classical moments in beautiful visuals and sea battle sequences filmed in technicolor as well as in some aspects of the story and most of all in personal touches in directing of all of it by jacques 7 10,positive +my husband brought this home from the video store so i could watch something while stuck home sick the sort of sick where you could never concentrate on a book but a sorta silly light romantic flick sounds just right that and a bowl of chicken soup well he meant well br br my first thought as some others post here also was that the house must be fake it's not only isolated alone on the beach but set on into the loose sand and so close to the ocean that the surf waves go directly under the house this looks so obviously dangerous in country in the fall so potentially disastrous that i was sure filmmakers had simply the whole thing or used movie magic to a cute b b into the surf br br but i have to tell you guys thanks to i can say that the house is very real is indeed near and except for some window dressing and appears mostly as it does in the film you can rent it yourself off season for a week or about in summer go for it but interestingly the house has severe problems the second thing that struck me after would be washed away was what about the in that surf and sure enough was condemned for a break in the caused by from the ocean they are br br and the house isn't from the civil war not to mention that davis playing cliché black best friend role for a fine actress last seen in doubt is not remotely old enough that her grandmother could have built anything in the civil war hello that was 150 years ago try great great great in reality was built in 1988 laughably recently br br the basic film is built on a typical nicholas sparks which means a lot of coincidence and trite predictable it is also aimed in a very way towards women you know us women who love b and who dream of romance and guys who look like richard gere and dancing in the don't give us plot or thoughtful character development just set up some and bring on the love scenes br br gere plays a plastic surgeon who lost a female patient during a routine surgery for a on her cheek of course she died of an of so you wonder right away why the surgeon is up and not the hello where is that guy why is the wrong doctor feeling guilty br br gere has come to and confront the woman's husband and is staying at the remote b b who should be there why the only other person in the diane lane she's a lonely with rotten kids and an ex who wants her back while she's trying to decide about that the cliché best black friend has her as at the b b br br now in the real world if this set up ever even happened the doctor would look like ernest and the lonely like he'd spend his vacation 22 year old girls on the beach while she and thought about going on a but this isn't the real world i br br the couple confess all fall in love a hits they make love fall in love he has to go away he dies and she cries a lot about that the end br br there i've saved you from it now you don't have to torture yourself or any male husbands sons boyfriends from sitting through this tripe very br br someone else asked why diane lane a perfect tiny woman whom filmmakers seem to love to cast because she's just pretty and thin enough that most women would like to look like her but she's and not over the top so she isn't threatening is constantly covered in big like this would make sense if she was but she isn't br br anyways someone throw a pretty over this film so we don't have to watch it conclusion read a book unless you are too sick if too sick go to sleep,negative +this movie is so dull i spent half of it on imdb while it was open in another on netflix trying to find out if anyone thought it was one of the more boring films they've ever seen a warning i actually could not finish it so these are my impressions up to minute br br gets loads of screen time as others have mentioned her mother penned the script perhaps during some sort of drug induced utter and statements about emotions sounded like interesting dialogue and it seems that the film is a showcase for although i agree she is lovely with her teeth her teeth cause me anxiety and fear i found her reactions forced and poorly timed as in william or dylan does something cute pause from k with and a playful arm like a minute too late what and she cannot match cillian murphy's intensity he somehow manages to really look at her and look as though he is fascinated by her and falling in love with her whereas she seems totally almost like she is with a mirror that must be torture acting opposite someone who isn't delivering the same level of energy as you know what else is torture this movie br br does look stunning during her i've got 1940s pin and a hot dress watch me sing shots but what's the point is she an or an actress when she talks it's bizarre ya going this makes me confused because the accent is so mixed up and yet so thick at times i have no idea what she's saying or maybe fell asleep if no one knows who vera was or cares or few do was it so important to give her this supposed accent it from all the rest of the action just kidding there br br this movie seems like someone a movie maybe after reading a little dylan thomas before bed but instead of adapting to the waking world was like man that dream was so interesting and tried to it then someone else your script needs work nothing that happens a story or creates necessity and the writer is all but that's the way i it it's like the rambling fantasy of a child one of those wild and meandering they spin to get your attention and then william went to a war and then vera had a baby and then some blond chick too much and there were so many and pin and everyone had ruby red lips and br br as for the dylan thomas character so bland that's all i can call him why didn't he have any lines in this goofy biopic all he does is drink beer and smoke and roll around with miller who is so wild and artistic she'll do a in public get outta here you crazy i realize she is not a poet but she and thomas are like this one nauseating unit of crazy guys crazy times like a sailor and from wild at heart someone asks in the message board if they should buy this film i say do it leave it on your shelf and only it as a weapon to children the elderly or lingering house guests br br p s to murphy's character when someone asks if you were in the sh you can say yes because your war scenes appear to have been shot at a,negative +if you re not old enough to remember and here s the they re a couple of film producers and from israel who set up the cannon film company in the early 1980s the only israeli to get a worse press than these two was begin begin probably deserved the bad press but and were a god send to film makers because no matter how bad your script was they d happily your movie and would normally employ directors who t direct and actors who t act in fact you often got the impression that people would just walk up to and ask them for some money and they d without seeing the film maker s resume if only producers nowadays were so br br the young warriors t a cannon film but and did it and it has their signature all over it it s badly directed badly acted badly edited but it s the script that jumps out and attacks you with its awfulness it starts with a bunch of high school getting involved in all sorts of zany pranks in fact the first 20 minutes of the movie plays out like a sex comedy and it s something of a shock when the young warriors turns into a vigilante movie but it s not just any type of vigilante movie like 2 or death wish 3 notice a connection they re both sequels and they re both vigilante movies made by cannon films no this is a laughably bad vigilante movie about pretty boy high school and their going on a mission to wipe out this film is proof that and were giving money to people regardless of their film making abilities and you have to worry about people who seem to spend their entire on making movies set entirely around,negative +some people say the pace of this film is a little slow but how is this different from any other hitchcock movie they all move very deliberately and as a point have of suspense and brilliant montages through it this movie gives us just the right amount of comic relief which make the suspense scenes seem all the more suspenseful the albert hall scene is one of the best examples of pure cinema that exists in hitchcock's collection the best probably being almost all of rear window pure cinema for hitchcock meant a series of usually small pieces of film fit together without dialogue in order to tell the story visually this is of course the basic definition of the albert hall sequence as well as the shorter sequence at the end of the picture br br not many slip ups by hitchcock here and the acting is superb especially by doris day in a rather surprising serious role,positive +to sum this story up in a few sentences a teenage girl amy uses her hot body and supposed virginity to a young troubled guy matt with a potential football to provide her a full ride out of town come to find out she has quite the reputation has slept with many football players in the past hoping they would offer her the same deal both of these kids have come from troubled dysfunctional homes mothers a alcoholic who repeatedly him in front of his friends mother had a bad reputation herself got pregnant with amy at a a young age matt falls in love with amy tries to out his life for her very predictable ending the actress that plays amy is actually 33 years old trying to play a teenager,positive +taken the idea out of a true incident the wind and the lion is a very good adventure film set in the of africa br br el sean connery head of an arab tribe kidnaps an american woman and her two children to obtain some for his country out of american president theodore brian keith out of this simple plot john gets a very complete and enjoyable movie in the genre br br the locations an impressive color photography very well handled action sequences and perfect settings turn the picture in a sort of epic one with an sense of greatness the musical score is also remarkable an fits br br sean connery is very good as the arab leader and he can handle almost any kind of role so is as the woman who shows strength under dangerous circumstances but deep inside is scared and has her weaknesses she gets to admire connery and even understand his complete different focus on life from their also completely different cultures brian keith plays one of his best roles ever as american president teddy br br most entertaining and very good cinematographic in the genre give it chance you won't regret it,positive +this version is very painful to watch all of the acting is very stilted but especially that of norma who is still acting as though she were in a silent movie instead of a check out the version with joan crawford robert and william powell which is much more entertaining,negative +what could possibly go wrong with a movie that includes a bunch of italians pretending to be and some vague as the hell induced devil fish br br everything is what goes wrong i tell you br br this is a very good mst3k episode because the in right on the ball which without fault is easy to do considering this movie is a piece of junk with a lousy and boring plot br br 9 10 for version 1 10 for un version br br,negative +truly truly awful i don't even know where to begin this is a perfect example of a movie that doesn't know what to do with itself i'm not sure i could even a category myself except that i'm quite sure it's a slap in the face of everyone every where even the unborn br br at times i thought i was watching a parody or some kind of farce at times just a bad b movie but i kept holding out for the porno which i fear is almost but not entirely non existent br br some one advised skipping to the ending i would definitely second that emotion the last five minutes are intense and certainly contain some of the best film making cgi you will ever see ever br br ed wood would be proud,negative +this movie has more on its plate than a wrestler and the result for the viewer is there are some good performances but the subplots are and largely br br in addition i found all the characters unlikeable and if you can't identify with at least one character there isn't much to get excited about all in all this is a classic example of trying to do too much with too little,negative +anyone who enjoyed this series when first broadcast i rushed home from school to see it now is of a certain age so i can only add my comments to those asking for a dvd release to those of us to the memories of first before it simply becomes a piece of tv archive history if so many old tv series from the sixties and seventies can be released why not this surely the rights can't be that difficult most of the shakespeare lines i can quote comes from this iconic series and i remember them with my school as we tried to each other's memories of the text peter rightly deserved the credit for having the to bring it to the screen this surely was public at its finest robert hardy and sean connery fighting to the death it's riveting stuff and from the beginning of the bbc golden age come on bbc clear it and license it please march 2009 so finally the dvd is here and to those who have made it happen the picture quality is remarkably good and the performances every bit as good as the memory thought now all those who for it must buy it and those magic moments br br uk viewers given the series was made in the uk by the bbc using british actors it's strange that the dvd release is not available there on region 2 europe dvd and can only be from the us and played on players it seems hardly likely that there are major rights issues perhaps the market was felt to be too small so why on earth wasn't it released free ' so everyone could enjoy it,positive +in this film i prefer frost he's so sexy i love his eyes i like stephen and the vampires so i went to see it i hope to see a gothic film with him blade it was very about the future if vampires had been real i would be turned by frost,positive +a kinda remake of planes trains and in a lot of ways i think i think it's such a bad and sad coincidence that both john candy and chris left us when they still had a lot of stuff to do god bless them both i think the plots of 2 movies are really similar road of two different of characters and a lot of unlucky consequences because of the this movie can not be planes trains and but its a really entertaining movie especially with the great performance of chris the missing part in this movie is the stuff if we compare it with candy martin classic but i think its better this way,positive +the first thing that struck me about this movie was the terrible acting the whole cast was so uniformly inept at delivering their lines that i started laughing at the awful dialog through the film an even bigger issue with this movie is that at no point do we ever find out what the actions of each character the one somewhat redeeming aspect of the movie is innovative visual effects however as eye catching as they may be they do little to make up for the flaws mentioned above a dreadful script mixed with community theater level acting does not make for a pleasant viewing i was honestly shocked at how bad this movie was,negative +but it's still an entertaining tv movie the to the civil war makes a nice change of pace and adds a few such as to that you might not otherwise see thankfully they didn't try to make it a mini series at 90 minutes it's just about right,positive +this is my favorite hal hartley movie all his movies are small gems i love independent movies and i hope hal hartley never goes mainstream or sells out what if the lord jesus did come back and loved his people so much that he could not open the final book and destroy the it was nice to see p j harvey in a movie since i am a fan of her music don't watch this if you are a fan of cookie cutter hollywood movies you will be disappointed,positive +when i decided to try watching a movie about zombies i wasn't expecting a whole lot that's exactly what i got and then even less aside from a of special effects and a severe lack of any acting talent the chilling also sports the absolute worst script i've ever seen made into a movie i had to stop the tape numerous times during the first 45 minutes in order to the damage done to my intellect for witnessing such atrocious dialogue as there is found here br br furthermore the collection of characters is so formulaic and one dimensional it's ridiculous the corrupt doctor his assistant played by linda blair we know she's his assistant because he repeatedly refers to her by that title the recently widowed businessman with a heart of gold who develops a romantic interest with character his criminal son the blair character's alcoholic abusive unemployed boyfriend whom we are introduced to in the most contrived use of a flashback and of course the rough tough security guard who becomes the hero br br apparently the fluid which some lab uses on its bodies is highly naturally resulting in disaster when all of the end up in a remarkable sequence of events during a lightning storm on halloween night no less as for the zombies themselves if you enjoy watching people in green masks walking around in foil suits then the chilling is the movie for you the zombie action is very weak at its best the primary killing method seems to be grabbing people by the shoulders and shaking them to death the businessman and the security guard do most of the zombie fighting including a highly suspenseful scene of re the undead with let me tell you the steel mill scene in has got nothing on the chilling in portraying an enemy getting frozen in his tracks like that br br how linda blair ended up stuck in the middle of this piece of dreck is indeed a mystery true her career didn't exactly during the 80s sadly but this movie is an embarrassment for her the script doesn't even have the decency to put her to any good use the most that her character is given to do is out things like here they come do something hurry the only thing i can figure is that poor linda was for her work on this film in of food the hero is played by adams himself dan in this picture he faces stiff acting competition from his beard and the security dog and he does his best to them both br br the only frightening part of the chilling is the introduction which brings up the factual elements of and suggests that the film you are about to see could happen in your own community as i was counting the number of times a few of the names are repeated in the closing credits i was to suddenly see get credited fortunately it was only for the movie's sound production 1 10,negative +i have done some research on ed and i have found a few interesting things like the fact that ed was quiet and a loner not some buff over bearing jerk as in this movie i will say that i didn't finish this movie but i will i will cringe through the fact that all of us talk like we are from you know the funny but oh so sad factor in this movie is isn't as hot as they made it look br br this movie is not only an insult to people being a myself but it is a complete insult to a man that was proved to be an insane lonely man he killed two people and the movie couldn't even get that right ed didn't get that close and personal and scare people he shot the two and only people he killed so why do these movies lie and say based on a true story this is not based on nothing but the lies the director came up with in his foul head br br a joke and nothing more br br ok i would like to add on to this i did finish this oh so sad movie and i personal would like to laugh at the director do your when making a movie i would like to inform you that there are no mountains for those who have never been in and oh there is no desert what the hell there was more trees and snow in and that was suppose to be shot in br br ok for those who know nothing about ed i would like to give you your history lesson ed was thought to have killed his family but it was never proved he killed a bartender she was shot at bar close when no one was around he took the dead bartender back to his house 10 years later he shot and killed the store clerk he the cash register and the store truck he was caught because of this murder he came in the day before when her son was there and asked about the day he killed her he was in there buying the and the that only had was the only evidence they had to start a world wide man hunt he robbed graves in fact in robbed graves he hate the people he up and he made shades and other things br br he had a family that he had dinner with once and awhile and they threw all the meat he ever gave them out when he was caught considering he was caught at their house he was arrested and in the back of a cop car in fear of what may happen to him how do i know all of this i read the book the judge that tried him wrote br br after this movie was over after watching the whole horrific thing not only am i offended by the directors view on what women look like i mean it was hard to tell who this guy had on the half the time you know cause women are all please i am overly offended by the lack of this guy did and the poor job he did making this movie i have no idea who this kane guy is and i think he may be ok in something else but he did a horrible job playing ed br br after all of this i am so sad i wasted the 3 99 on the movie br br movie after finished was completely untrue this movie is like me saying that the world is flat and george washington wasn't our first president come on people that is your history and this is history to end this rant how would all of you feel if i made a movie and george washington looked like brad pitt some of you may think that is fine but it would be not true and he lived and wasn't the president and whatever you can't rewrite history,negative +i know it's hard for you americans to find european films on video dvd particularly from the 80's but please seek out the original version of the title 1988 and you'll see why the hollywood version of the up particularly at the finale br br i really like sandra sutherland and particularly jeff bridges but this is just so so lame compared with the original what where they thinking can you imagine seven with a happy ending with gwyneth paltrow running happily into the arms of brad pitt in the finale the whole point the original was such a major international success was because of the shocking finale so why do you accept this kind of remake really avoid this and get the original,negative +i've never been a huge fan of but generally i've always found something to enjoy in his films unfortunately i had more trouble finding something to enjoy in broken then i would normally think i would br br i find the biggest failure in broken to be the characters and the lack of depth they display the film is essentially a love story one that is tragic and one that wants to involve the viewer in their stories i found this from the beginning br br in the opening scene our the director screenwriter is having sex with a very attractive young woman whom he just met his agent comes in as the woman leaves br br in the opening scene our the director screenwriter is having sex with a very attractive young woman whom he just met his agent comes in and rolls her eyes as the woman leaves something about needing to enjoy life as the only thing he has left having been in a tragic car accident that also killed his love lena played by penelope the viewer might buy into to this notion except the rest of the film really never illustrates why lena was the love of his life or any depth to his character or any other br br plays lena the mistress to an named from the outset their union is rather a pathetic one as jealousy to lena and lena avoids of being on her own by staying with the much older to skip ahead a film for so he can keep on the star of the film lena naturally without any back story lena and fall in love and in world it really is that simple in the opening scene has sex with a sexy young woman now falls in love with lena later it's revealed he had a son with his agent after their love affair her son responds to this information with a laugh and an oh well again no depth no understanding for any of these characters it all just happens from the beginning of the film to the end i got no depth of emotion from he is flat and doesn't act much different from one scene to the next br br the one scene i did enjoy was when film producer is watching video footage his son recorded under the of doing a documentary of there are nice a moment of watching as a lip reading his worst fears later lena confronts as he's watching the footage and speaks her part out loud matching the video footage of her lips as she talks some quite brilliant moments rather contrived but still really fascinating br br unfortunately for me the rest of the film left me rather bored i couldn't care about these characters or their situations so no amount of on part can make up for this lack of depth i think if you're a fan of his work you'll enjoy this movie but if you're like me in between then you'll find it lacking,negative +sucks it sucks hard it's about this awful country singer attempting comedy they might as well call this show generic because that's what it is it's dumb and generic you're not funny and i'm glad your retarded show was cancelled because you suck and so does barbra jean the red headed teenager that guy and the 12 year old who got knocked up you all suck and none of you are funny oh and i heard a that is actually a gay devil who hitler and animals and she puts messages on her show and in her music in hopes to make children kill their parents and kill themselves but it was just a anyway this is the worst show ever is gay i do not like her i think the office is better than this show and this show sucks,negative +this was the second movie i ever saw and still holds a place in my heart as one of the most hilariously awful film experiences you are ever going to have br br miles is in this using his to score another on the on his he's stiff wooden and unconvincing but he still comes across as a cool likable guy and at least he's that's the only decent i can find to say about the movie so i thought i would get it out of the way right up front the fact that he is in the movie adds another point to the score and saves it from being a 1 out of 10 br br in no particular order examples of how badly put together this film is br br 1 ok the roberts clone to 'the ends of the to find which takes 3 minutes of screen time including the time she spends stumbling around dying from a arrow in her shoulder which i assume would have her down quite a bit so her up and takes his aid and sets out to go back to the her castle and proceeds to take the next 50 minutes of the movie recovering the ground that in 3 minutes how does that work i know that the crew is being by magical forces and enemies etc on the way back but still br br 2 apparently the writer director felt the need to add to the film by adding a running debate dialog game of 20 questions between the mean john wannabe and the wise man the richard harris wannabe but joe apparently got his philosophical training from hallmark cards t shirts and and he doesn't understand pacing or timing and neither do the actors remark during one of these is the tag line for my entry the scenes with these two drag on and on bringing the movie to a halt and killing any momentum or excitement generated by the sword fighting and of the heroic trio br br 3 once arrives at the castle and is captured things go even downhill decides to feed a bunch of women victims along with and to the god he keeps in his basement this scene had some potential for excitement so the director immediately kills this potential by the scene with all the drama of people waiting in line at the to pay their traffic proceeds to have a big battle with the that is barely more convincing than bela battle with the rubber puppet in bride of the monster br br 4 the climactic scene in which the hang out of and animal is so silly that it completely blows the viewer out of the movie and makes you roll on the floor laughing until your sides hurt br br 5 oh yes and the filmmakers decided to include stock footage of an atomic explosion at the end with the moral that decided to destroy the that drives the movie because mankind was message coming in just like bride of the monster again come to think of it all it needed was a to observe they in god's br br 6 for some reason the version of the movie i saw features and closing erotic credit sequences that have absolutely nothing to do with anyone or anything else in the movie i have no idea where this footage came from but it is actually worse than the actual movie it br br watch this only if you are a big fan of miles or if you enjoy the way mst3k material like this,negative +i watched this film during a special advanced preview in reading br br the two main characters michael and strike up a friendship when is introduced to the care home that michael already michael is amazed to find someone who can finally understand him as until now his made people think that he couldn't communicate br br introduces michael to the life that he's missing is a character who doesn't let his condition muscular get to him br br they bond and apply for independent living and find a lovely flat and assistant and have all the fun that they could ever dream of br br don't go to see this film if you are after some entertainment do go see this film if you're willing to see something a little different br br the storyline is strong the actors are fantastic and despite the sadness that comes with the film the mood is uplifting br br i thoroughly recommend it though if you are anything like me and prone to crying take as you'll need them,positive +final draft a screenwriter james van der locks himself into his apartment and to in an attempt to write a horror script not a terrible premise but the execution is awful this feels like a first year direction and writing job and probably is the director jump cuts the hell out of everything it's meant to be what it is is annoying so much so that small of film are incoherent the writing is predictable and doesn't use follow through on most of the ideas it offers bag of it's like they ran out of time and slap it together for the toronto film festival br br this film is not jaw oh my god it's so bad it's good bad it's boring bad and you for a long time afterward james van der is not a terrible actor and keeps the ship barely above water but he's too normal for the kind of the film tries to offer he is merely a guy who one day sees people and things then decides to act mildly deranged cause follows effect maybe there's something in the water now lucio who plays his friend is a terrible actor he shares the of chris and is even more annoying a achievement br br the atmosphere the film provides is good dull gray and somber but as it's the only thing the film achieves it means nothing this film wants to be ladder or the it isn't even secret window it's the girl in class deciding to turn br br not terrible but the sheer stupidity of it will at you i've already put more thought into this critique than the filmmakers did for this br br d,negative +great little ground breaking movie in 1955 about an important subject br br i wasn't expecting much from sinatra's performance and was pleasantly surprised by it loved kim novak she was gorgeous br br loved the jazz score by elmer as great as that by for i am very surprised it doesn't seem available on cd if anyone knows about the on any other format they should post it here somewhere br br direction was as usual borderline flawless br br haven't read nelson novel nor have any idea how faithful the screenplay was to it the subplot of frankie as a hot card dealer was a bit of a surprise too as were a few other things but see for yourself it's very much worth seeing,positive +a lack of character development proves fatal for this movie character starts out looking like a personality but quickly into a caricature and seems unreal the other characters are thin probably the writer's fault not the actors' the only exception is as the younger son his energy and are funny and convincing br br i suppose the children's petty cruelty is supposed to contribute to an atmosphere of and emphasize the primal spirits in the town but for me the gratuitous cruelty is redundant and contributes to the overall boredom of the film some scenes were amusing but not necessarily intended that way for example when the dogs turn out to be fat and healthy and look like they are ready to show the pretty cast and setting make for an appealing trailer but cannot carry the whole movie,negative +i had never heard of this film until it came to dvd i was immediately intrigued by everything about it the actors the title the cover and especially the author arthur miller you can't go wrong with him can you yep i haven't read the novel but i'm going to guess it was a lot better than the film i had high hopes for this movie i love macy and dern and it looked interesting unfortunately this film never really rises above cookie cutter messages about racism and if you've never seen any other films that deal with this subject or if you never knew that america was on then maybe this film will wow you others will probably find it predictable stale and overall bland,negative +remember when rick was funny 22 minutes was a great show when rick was on it and made in canada was a great show once too talking to americans was such a funny special too but like my friend said rick woke up one day and wasn't funny any more i think that day was when rick report went on the air what is the point of this show rick reads wacky fake shows pictures of bad that people mail in and then spends about 20 minutes of the 30 minute show going somewhere and just talking to people hoping to say something witty or clever enough to get on tv and maybe even make somebody somewhere laugh we're supposed to be interested in seeing rick visit a team and then try to do some of their moves and then suck at it on purpose while trying desperately to be funny rick got old or just lost interest or just ain't funny any more even his classic rant bits have lost all their bite and humor you can say that about cbc comedy in general though because how many years have they been sticking air farce on tv to deliver the same kinds of useless jokes,negative +the concept of this movie is unique however its execution is less than special when i arrived at the cinema and realised that there were only about 15 people or so in the crowd i thought i had made a mistake however the true mistake was realised in shocking detail when the film has ended and i knew that i had wasted two hours of my life br br without the cruel of the old man and the funny friend this film would have rated 1 out of ten br br this film is special special because it is probably the worst film ever to be generally released to the public br br there is also the issue of whether you could call it a film or just an for the probably crummy br br if you are thinking of watching this film for the plot the humor the filming the locations then don't on the other hand if you like to experience both ends of the film production then go just take a book or a small game or just some novelty item,negative +so we're supposed to find it funny that this woman travels all the way to the jungle to the just to find out why her fiancée didn't travel to switzerland or are we supposed to take it seriously it's not even remotely funny clever or entertaining it's stupid and so is the movie the lead actress is one of the most annoying characters i have ever seen in a movie even worse than jar jar dialog tries very hard to be funny almost all the time but it never is the number of funny jokes is somewhere between zero and nothing and as for the plot did they even once bothered to explain to us what are the rebels fighting for other than being anti government i guess that didn't matter to anyone neither to the rebels nor to the characters who just flew to the battlefield don't waste your time is neither funny nor entertaining,negative +banks needs to teach these girls that it's not all about being beautiful on the outside the inside counts for something too a lot of the past winners have looked semi decent but are horribly cruel and starting trouble for the other girls i see less involved with the girls in every season about the only thing worth watching top model for is mr jay recently had a contestant who was a pre i felt that she should have done more to encourage her it was obvious that she had about her original showing through her feminine look should have given her or perhaps she could have sent resident ms jay to help the girl out instead the contestant was met with harsh criticism and not enough positive criticism it's a shame because i truly enjoyed the first 3 seasons there's a reason why project has all 4 seasons out on dvd and top model only has 1 season on dvd it's called taste top model seriously needs a lot of an some more humanity,negative +don't torture a is an absolutely stunning giallo for lucio fulci unlike other like mario and fulci takes a decidedly gritty grounded and socially approach to the giallo narrative in this film there is nothing glamorous about the child murders and borderline a subplot for 1972 going on here and fulci wisely shoots with a and eye avoiding flash melodrama and directorial the proceedings are by gory and instantly mind set pieces that are even further by jarring sense of the deeply disturbing witch killing scene in particular with its bald faced brutality feels like a snuff film composer these carnage filled scenes with string br br the film is by a simultaneously lyrical and violent conclusion morality and it is a deeply effective ending that has the capacity to leave the viewer in a and br br fulci couldn't have picked a better location for this film don't torture a was photographed in and around the ancient city of italy as continues to to this day by its shift from an economy to an industrial one it is with its reputation as a for mysterious ghosts the of the real life are reflected by the characters in the film who wearing their christianity on their confront any exotic tradition namely witchcraft that outside of the norm br br interestingly enough was also used as a stand in for in mel the passion of the christ if anything this adds even more to message catholic guilt and grisly are such a combination,positive +the 1994 film production of heart of darkness was in no way capable of living up to the outstanding book the film contained unnecessary scenes that confused the viewer rather than them in understanding what was going on the director was obviously not experienced and if he is then he didn't show it on top of that scenes from the book were left out or changed scenes that were rather important the movie left me feeling rather bored and was a complete waste of my time the characters acted as though they had no idea what was going on and the actors did not portray the emotions that and the rest revealed in the book overall the movie was terrible and completely lacked the suspense that was otherwise necessary to make it even remotely interesting,negative +after some further thought about this film i find it's far too easy to dismiss this as the boy's dream i have actually received some spiritual strength from angels do exist we definitely are entertained by angels most of the time we aren't even aware of it at a point of spiritual and emotional in my life i personally really needed this film yes as i wrote before it speaks to so many can't wait to get to heaven br br being so sick of all of the fx and formula stuff i found this film to be genuine cinema all i can say is it touched me in so many ways that i still am it all out north is a wonderful film one that brings the viewer's mind out of the and into the heart the spiritual aspect is so very intriguing to me pay attention as you'll need to use the brain and heart god gave you to follow the story i think it's possibly a bit over the heads of some but i feel those are the individuals it speaks to most importantly i want to view it several more times just so i can take it all in br br the industry needs to study this film to realize we do exist br br my thanks to all involved in the making of this film,positive +the plot for a movie such of this is a how can you go wrong with a gay plot line and all the colors and music of india a story like this writes itself i'll watch most anything but this was unwatchable the sad thing is the white folks are the most colorful in the film vanessa was a riot with a mouth like a sailor and jack was great eye candy but everyone else was so boring jeffrey who was exceptional in my beautiful did what he could but the story was so boring the saving grace was really the background music which made it ok to laugh at the film instead of with the film or not at all there are many other better gay movies ethnic movies just plain movies i give a lot of low budget movies a pass but this shouldn't have been made or should have been made by someone else,negative +1983 was the battle of the bonds that year both roger moore and sean connery starred in two separate james bond film the former was produced by the official makers of the bond films while the later never say never again was produced by a group led by kevin who held the film rights to surprisingly enough is the film that is better despite the obvious flaw of and the fact that never say never again is a remake of br br never say never again has the distinction of sporting one of the best casts ever assembled for a bond film it all starts with sean connery returning to the play bond for the first time since are forever connery might be older then he was then but he looks better here then he did in are forever the bond of never say never again is the and dangerous shark of dr no or from russia with love just a few years older delivery of one liners and dialogue is as dead on as it ever was the one downside to age is his believability especially when it comes to the ladies of the film let's face it even connery despite being in top physical shape looks as odd as moore when he is women half his age yet despite this believability issue never say never again shows connery in one of his better bond performances and a definite improvement on his two earlier bond performances br br kim plays domino in one of her early film roles plays the role with considerable confidence for a relative newcomer and she makes the character believable holds her own against her co stars and has considerable chemistry with them as well in fact she may well her counter part played by br br then there's the villain played by maria is everything a james bond film villain should be suave charming evil and above all believable none the less makes the role realistic and chooses not to fall into the trap many other bond villains have fallen into by going over the top plays with a silent menace and charisma unseen in many of br br the excellent cast into the supporting cast as well barbara makes a fine in and the screen lights up when she appears max von a nice appearance as though his appearance is more akin to a cameo makes an appearance as bumbling contact that makes for some of the best scenes in the film with all that the highlight of the supporting cast comes from the staff from edward m who makes for a great contrast to bernard lee pamela who make s and the on the cake with alec wonderful q the supporting cast has a couple of though in the form of as felix and as jack who both seem to lack credibility in their respective roles otherwise this film sports one of the best casts ever assembled for a bond film br br on top of an excellent cast the film has several other essential ingredients from the opening central america sequence to the fight at to the underwater sequences and chase this is a film where the action sequences are not only great but service the plot as well for the most part the film also sports good special effects in terms of cruise missile models explosions and all the things we expect from a bond film then fresh off doing the empire strikes back brings a tight sense of direction to the film especially in sequences like the of nuclear and the subsequent of the cruise br br yet this film is far from perfect never say never again is easily one of the most dated of the bond films with its heavy use of 1980's computer sand video games while technology dates any film after a time this film's heavy on it especially in the of the cruise and the sequence makes the film look incredibly dated some quarter of a century after its release the script also tends to suffer from predictability due to the very fact it's a remake of br br yet for its predictability the script for never say never again is pretty good the script sports good dialogue scenes not a single cringe worthy one liner how many of the roger moore era scripts can you say that about some humorous situations and yet is watchable and tense for the most part once you look past he fact that it's a remake there's quite a lot of good things in the script for the film br br music is in fact the biggest weakness of the film due to the status of the film the james bond theme could not be used that said this could have shown with the right composer that a bond score without it could work unfortunately michael score is far from adequate score is totally out of place in a bond film and there is only of or two places where it actually works to make matters worse the film is also with one of the worst title sequences ever to grace a james bond film br br despite being heavily dated somewhat and having a bad score never say never again is still a good bond film with one of the best casts of any bond film good action sequences good special effects good direction and some terrific dialogue this film proves that isn't a bad thing in fact it is is better then and the winner of the battle of the bonds,positive +the was one of the few early eastwood films i hadn't seen until i gave the dvd a spin today and from it's opening shot to the macabre climax i was utterly enthralled too many film makers these days substitute special effects fast editing and camera work in place of character driven stories but director don knew how to get the maximum effect from this relatively simple plot and the characters are believable and compelling br br the story concerns a ladies finishing school which happens to be on the edge of various during the american civil war the south supporting ladies find a badly wounded union soldier clint eastwood him back to health he begins to manipulate the sexually frustrated women for his own ends br br page is excellent in the role of the with a secret and her descent into madness is subtly conveyed for a film that virtually takes place in a single location it never loses visual interest there's even a chance that the normal status long abandoned when eastwood's are could return but the and upon a darker road br br this is a totally different style of film from the same director's dirty harry made in the same year and yet they are both equally superb eastwood is great playing against his usual stoic anti hero image yet there's also some mysterious quality attached to his character we never really learn much about him prior to his and the viewer is free to decide upon his well persona villain or victim whatever you think all i can say is that i thoroughly enjoyed it,positive +this film to me deserves a lot of praise because even though i am not a or i remained inspired throughout the whole documentary br br the depth of history and development of these two extreme sports what they were able to do for two groups of individuals the dedication that these individuals had have is truly inspiring and it was because of them that others can now enjoy and do what these guys br br unlike most other documentaries this one was cleverly put together the amount of footage that was recorded and survived throughout the decades is outstanding and it was because of this that some of the greatest editing i have ever seen was put together and resulted in the subject remaining focused without the urge for them to to recent footage of the more famous surfers and that remains popular today br br the film explores areas such as the success such new tricks winning and gathering fame as well as failures such as injury or burning out br br it was also fulfilling to hear the experiences come from the and surfers themselves and not from second hand information this resulted in a better picture to be drawn br br overall a truly outstanding effort,positive +john carpenter's the thing is undoubtedly one of the best horror movies ever made sadly as with most carpenter movies go it is also one of the most underrated movies being by critics shortly after it's release for a reason that is almost pathetic it seems that at the time people were overwhelmed by the idea of the good alien an idea after the success of i t and the very thought that a movie dealing with aliens could from that idea was regarded as human ignorance is truly a frightening thing people need to judge films for what they are not for what they want them to be br br the thing itself is an interesting study on human paranoia as members of a u s base discover the presence of an alien being throughout the movie only as a thing able to imitate any form of life not knowing who might or might not be the creature we see how every character to the situation there is no mass or panic just a slow and descent in to chaos as more and more people turn up to be not quite human br br carpenter succeeds into this movie into something far more than your average sci fi horror there are no whats behind you jumping moments here instead relying on an intense atmosphere of and pre apocalyptic despair along with some nicely balanced moments of visual terror with no small thanks to rob impressive creature effects he gives us an experience not matched by many other horror films br br instead of just throwing facts and plot elements at our face carpenter offers us a much a more and delicate approach by a sense of mystery he gives the viewer enough freedom to interpret ate what has in certain scenes while giving enough plot to those who are not so fond of interpretation in movies br br score works all the way it's and depressing sound perfectly fits the movie's overall tone although i've always wondered how would it have sounded if carpenter he has been known to all of his except this one did it characters while not as deeply developed are still memorable thanks to the good performances of the actors especially kurt who plays the down out helicopter pilot r j its worth noting how his character transforms through the movie from his don't give a attitude in the beginning to that of a and leader of the group of men who try to fight the thing but even with that said there are no false here there are no laughing at the face of death moments and there certainly isn't any sort of comic relief the movie keeps its atmosphere from the very first scene to the last speaking of which here once again carpenter keeps his tradition of creating a powerful ending br br quarter of a century after its release the thing doesn't feel dated and with the growing use of computer generated effects it feels even stronger then before because it shows the life's work and dedication of human beings not computers combined with its for it gives the viewer a lot more reasons to watch it for a second or third or fourth or time a masterpiece of terror that will never be forgotten,positive +i feel that this movie is different from so many others in that it shows a family of girls who actually care about each other they may have faults but and put downs have no place with these girls try to find that on tv or in the usual movies it is a breath of fresh air to see girls being feminine wearing beautiful feminine dresses and shoes contrast that with the in stores today i e and faded and etc the story line has an evil thread running through but that is what makes it more realistic and interesting i know that it is animated but it still gives you a feeling that families can stick together and come out okay i would recommend this movie for boys and girls alike,positive +this is one of the films that killed the spaghetti western it not only loses something in the translation it is a total chaotic mess of editing as well either of it have been edited out and or re edited for an english language version in any case it makes little or no sense period it makes the and the eastwood man with no name films look like john ford john wayne by comparison nothing in this film is original somewhere in there is a beginning a middle and finally an end except for the end not everything is exactly in that order robert wood seems enough the rest of the cast especially the women should have made better career choices,negative +br br it's common knowledge and has been said before no one can ever play scarlett and like leigh and clark gable kilmer no longer kilmer having been divorced from ex val kilmer plays her own scarlett and although this is a sequel and not a re make god she still cannot rise to the occasion i e her voice sounds evil on several occasions she's got brown eyes scarlett in both novels had green eyes and even eyes were green and her vocal power was not up to the job either scarlett is a southern belle therefore she has an incredible talent for as she did in scarlett the novel and of course and to be a great like scarlett is you would most likely need a higher pitched voice like leigh br br i suppose i'm comparing kilmer to leigh a bit too much but when someone possesses a role so masterfully as leigh did with scarlett you simply can't help but to criticize any new timothy dalton should have had no accent whatsoever due to the fact that both margaret and gable in the film had none his acting has never been truly noteworthy except maybe his portrayal of the evil conniving king phillip of france in the lion in winter and he gives very little if any or to his br br in the cast are most notably tina a born actress with plenty of authenticity in her deliverance as the tragic victim mary boyle and then of course there's sean bean as the cold and not to mention almost evil lord nemesis and eventual one thing i could not forgive the writer for was the fact that scarlett is raped in this movie a fact that never occurred in the novel lord is cold and of ill among the irish in the book but he's nowhere near as heartless as his screen counterpart another from the novel but for the film is the character of belle played most horribly by ann in a cameo role which we all could have lived without seeing as how the book was such a run away without any assistance from ms br br for a film by itself scarlett is a very good one but not quite in that of a place in terms of being gone with the winds sequel another actress was highly necessary for scarlett as well as br br,positive +i'd be hard pressed to say what is it that makes this film so important to me while a very good movie this is definitely not the most outstanding film still along with the american soldier it keeps making it into my personal list of favorites whenever i get to thinking about it,positive +as well as being a portrayal of a lesbian love story fire is also a comic satire of middle class indian culture i find this is a quality which is little appreciated about the movie these two genres i e deep meaningful alternative love story and comic satire usually mix together just as well as oil and water do but somehow manages to achieve the balance to near perfection the servant behaviour the family's treatment of him the constant presence obsession with a coming from a culture much like these are things i can immediately identify as being typical they have been crying out to be pointed out and while developing her primary subject matter manages to achieve this secondary theme in fact much of the humour in the film which provides essential relief from the heavy subjects of taboo lesbian love and gender issues from this satire of the seemingly ordinary the film flows from the comic to the serious with great br br all in all brilliant use of symbolic devices compared to of legend and coming out of fire and therefore pure the desire of the young to see the ocean finally achieved when she freedom kudos to the lighting crew and their very un hollywood like and un bollywood like talents made this movie special one criticism the first scenes seemed rather disjointed to me in that they did not flow into each other very well br br the verdict 9 on 10 nothing less for a movie with scenes so burned on my mind,positive +this review does not necessarily expose the plot of the movie however it may change one's expectations of the movie and thus make for a less enjoyable experience br br ever rented a scary movie expecting to be on the edge of your seat in fear and instead ended up howling in laughter at each and every stupid turn of the plot this movie had so many opportunities to impress and actually scare the viewer it was cut poorly and jumped around too much making references to the past seem more like excuses as to why the plot was heading in its particular direction the writers must not have thought about how the potentially excellent plot should have been carried out because the poor construction of time throughout the plot is to the viewer and makes the movie increasingly to watch br br almost worse than the writers having abused what could have been an excellent and classic thriller was the fact that it gradually relied on cheap tactics for a scare the acting didn't make it scary and the situations hardly made it scary therefore it needed a few dark scenes with things jumping out at you to make it worthwhile even those were predictable br br not even the gore could've saved the plot and it rivals the gore of the successful thriller br br speaking of i feel like saw tried to follow incredibly fascinating psychological theme but failed miserably in doing so i was terribly disappointed in the lack of analysis and plot structure surrounding the psychology of the killer the beginning scenes the viewer into thinking that this is a psychological thriller believe me it is far from that br br oh did i mention poor acting at first cary seems makes a convincing performance however this completely at the most crucial parts of the plot i was left in tears of laughter at this performance which is worthy of a the performance of leigh is also terrible and too played out although not as bad as the performance by and the big red flag with this is that is also a writer for the movie br br the end of saw could never make up for having lost the entire middle of it and that is what makes it a huge failure it was an opportunity wasted and i have no clue as to why monica potter and danny glover chose to take roles in this movie br br i am mad at myself for wasting money on just renting it it was definitely not worth the 4 and in the future i will definitely avoid seeing anything having to do with or james wan the big tragedy in this is not that it lacked basis to its plot it's that the great potential storyline was thrown away and poor acting added insult to injury i'll avoid the poor involving the title and just conclude with this don't watch this movie,negative +i must say that this movie had a great cast locations music and camera work cameron diaz was great she had a very exciting roll very while had a serious roll yet still capturing one for me very nostalgic she reminds of a female of mine what got me in this movie were the very planned camera work and the choosing of the locations the story is very written it is a must see one the one's who are into mystery movies should watch this one i guarantee you all that it'll keep you in your seats till the end,positive +there are many familiar hitchcock elements of previous and later films and this time they mix to a jolly but hardly suspenseful piece of entertainment you can tell that dorothy parker had a hand in the script the most memorable scenes are the dialogues of hero with the blind man and his encounter with a rather bizarre group of circus people the famous climax on the statue of liberty seems a bit heavy handed judged by standards but also compared to other e g blackmail north by,positive +grave is sitting in his cell awaiting execution is visited by a monk wishing to take down his last words for and as a warning to others about the horrible life he lead at first reluctant but with his tongue up by drink the young grave is soon telling his story which is full of the dead the undead and things that go in the night br br new york horror film filmed in part on island which no doubt brought the spirit of andy lurking about is one of the better horror comedies to come around in a while this is an often very funny film that just its story out in every which way the cast is first rate dominic plays arthur blake the grave telling his story ron is father the monk taking the statement and perhaps getting too involved in the tale both men are clearly having a grand old time and it shows the rest of the cast is equally as good the music by jeff grace is excellent the effects are perfect for this sort of silliness the film is a great deal of fun if there is any trouble with the film its that perhaps it throws its net a little wide so as the result has way too much going on i don't want to give too much away but i don't think we needed the alien body in the mix still this is a great deal of fun and its one i'm pretty sure i will on the in theaters where i saw it the first time and later on i'm sure i'll pick up the dvd br br worth a look,positive +bernsen directed horror film about a chemical weapon being released in a sporting event and turning everyone in to insane monsters we watch as the staff at a radio station takes reports br br its has moments but mostly it plays like a lifetime horror movie with breasts and blood there are some really good ideas here but they just don't work actually the film's ideas are better handled in a film called which pretty much works all the way through and builds tension by not showing us anything this shows us stuff and it just seems cheap given the choice i'd watch again rather than watch this film again,negative +deep water 2006 br br it is indifferent it's there waiting for you to make one slip up those words are perhaps the best sum up of the nature of the ocean i have ever heard its are not least of which her loneliness those words come from the mesmerizing and heartbreaking documentary deep water it is the story of donald an amateur sailor who in the 1969 sunday times race around the world if you do not know his story it may be best to stop reading now don't read this or any other information on or the race find the film and just watch it br br after the first solo of the ocean in 1967 and of began seeking the next one up this time the journey would have to be done without making or stopping along the way having fallen on hard times saw the race as a great chance to get his family back on their feet he had lived through financial as a child and wanted part in going back to such a life so he set out to find and soon did in stanley best and rodney the two men spelled the potential cash cow and granted a boat on the condition that if he should pull out of the race he would be forced himself to pay the his boat however was in serious need of and he feared it would not be ready in time for the final departure day he was informed however by his that he simply must go – after all they up the and expected it back many a time over br br the details of the story are infamous boat began taking on water and his progress to a crawl faced with the decision of trying to round the horn of africa certain death in such a boat or turn back financial and he searched for a third option he chose to hide out alone on his waiting for other to round cape horn in south america from there he would the race he reported false positions and record breaking then he stopped all communication for fear that his position would be given away he also had to fake books for each day of a journey he did not take eventually the loneliness the guilt and the realization that he would likely be caught too heavy on his final entries make the of a seem entirely sane only a few weeks from home he turned his boat away from home and is reported to have jumped overboard soon thereafter br br odyssey is a fascinating one and its ending is heartbreaking but strikes of our dreams so often turn into fears and the consequences of our actions often leave us so few for a happy ending it is a story of a descent into madness on by the of the cruel the filmmakers do a wonderful job in telling this story it's put together with chilling audio and video done by and of his ever increasingly notes the story starts slowly and may distract some viewers but the of the story are entirely worthwhile as it progresses br br there are also into some of the other such as frenchman bernard who was on par to likely win the speed competition only to pull out and begin a second trip around the world also in the film is robin knox who was the winner of the competition he his prize money to the family br br to read briefly on the saga simply does not do justice it's interesting of course but a quick the raw emotions and presented here the final moments of deep water are genuinely heart breaking hearing the thoughts of his widowed family and the and understanding of his friends this is a fascinating story and it is that which carries the documentary into such great channels,positive +it is a rare and fine spectacle an allegory of death and that is neither preachy nor a work of mature and courageous insight avoids distinction by to belong to a kind unlike the most memorable and accomplished film to an obvious comparison 1987 wings of desire der berlin it an in a narrative spectrum from the mundane to the supernatural this story of and in the american west the fairytale that marked its german predecessor in the ad genre of angels their wings with its be it inspired by faith or by a fever dream never parts ways with and this firm to great credit for writers and directors mark and michael polish,positive +i saw at a preview showing a few days ago and found it to be a thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable film the film is about a not so successful american actress who goes to india to act in a low budget film only to find herself stranded there when she finds on arrival that the film's has along with the producers and a chance encounter with an indian film shooting nearby leads her to be hired for a small dancer role in that since indian films a significant amount of singing and dancing this is a problem for who has two left feet not to mention a personality so tightly wound up and that she can hardly hear the music let alone feel it as the choreographer of the film her to do br br but the word not the person means love and the person not the word seems to that emotion in the way he deals with all around him whether it be his production assistant friends who introduced to the shoot the and arrogant leads of the film or the bitchy and uptight herself soon under his expert and endearing treatment finds her feet literally and br br i must say a word for those not familiar with the use of song and dance in indian films unlike american musicals the story progresses through these dance numbers as plot developments unfold and character occur in parallel with the dancing it should also be pointed out that indian dance is about a lot more than mere movement an essential part of it is the of the feelings and emotions while telling the story of the dance this is the main purpose of the dance and the dancer br br that reaches this stage of accomplishment is demonstrated in a stunning dance number about through when while performing the dance she is required to do for the film within the film also expresses her love for it is an amazing performance by ali especially when one considers that she is not used to dancing in her films or her character's feelings via dance it shows her skill as an actress as well as how much hard work she has put into the role br br of course no romantic film can work without a credible prince charming salman khan who plays the role of fits the role to a t even when it turns out that he is a prince not so charming he does not lose the audience's sympathy salman has been hindi cinema sometimes called bollywood for many years now and it is worth remembering that his first leading role was also as he is completely charming sweet adorable sexy and vulnerable for those who have never encountered him on screen before be prepared to be hit with mega doses of sheer he and ali make a lovely pair and are as well matched in their acting as in their appearance br br will they manage to work out their problems it doesn't seem possible as we hear the last song of the film a lovely of fact and fantasy reality and metaphor the ending certainly took some of the audience i saw it with by surprise but they were left satisfied the songs are used very cleverly they are in hindi for the film within the film sequences and in english for other occasions but their meaning is always clear from the context and choreography br br is a very satisfying romantic comedy yes there is quite a bit of humor as well in it the indian locations and costumes give it a fairy tale quality a story which can be to a modern fairy tale br br if you are or have been curious about indian cinema but were to try it this is an excellent introduction it captures the color and of indian films not only in the costumes and jewelry which are quite impressive but also in the lively dances and world sound music br br if you are a fan of ali you should watch it for her excellent acting in portraying a selfish demanding high woman who nevertheless has an inner attraction that the love of two men if you are a girl you will enjoy lovely costumes and her hunk of a leading man if you are a guy you can not only admire ali in her sexy costumes but learn from salman khan what it takes to bring out the loving heart even from someone as edgy as,positive +charlie george norm and just say julie brown are a pair of cheerful murderous aliens who become stranded on earth and stumble upon a tiny western town they become deputy and dish out a deadly form of justice to murderers and others while getting on the bad side of some of locals led by wayne grace meanwhile their sexy alien daughter arrives in a skimpy shiny outfit with her black human husband christopher m brown to find them and tv and government agents turn up to fill up time br br from what i can tell this is a deliberate attempt to cover every possible genre comedy sci fi horror western in one movie and what a stupid unfunny mess it is despite energetic acting from the two stars the script is downright atrocious,negative +a box with a button provides a couple with the opportunity to be free but the cost is the life of someone they've never met this is a very tedious film to watch richard kelly who wrote and directed it decided to make a film without any payoff you are taken on a ride of slow build ups one after the other with minor revelations at best at certain moments i thought to myself this will have major significance at the end but nothing does the film just leaves one thinking this story could have been told in 30 minutes without all the stretched out nonsense i will hope you avoid this god awful film and maintain your sanity by doing so,negative +the most spiritual film i have seen in a long long time maybe ever also one scene around the room table a piece of comic perfection i understand a release date is coming up in the fall if it comes to your town and you want to see a movie that makes you think this is it is great in it and she is most certainly a future star is out now which she is in also all the actors seem perfectly there is a tone set by this movie that is used to surprise through out i would not know what to call it it is comedy but the message is so fierce and direct that comedy is not a big enough word for it i love this film it is a thinking man's comedy but even that phrase is not really good enough does have a message and that message needs to be heard right now,positive +from the acting direction and art direction this film is just entirely ill conceived and the money would have been better spent on shoes for land mine victims when did we get so sad that they have to fill a a children's movie with sexual innuendo to keep the parents attention br br dr is rolling in his grave right now what with the dirty ho s h i t and fake scenes etc etc etc its shameful how they trade on the name of to get the parents to bring their kids throw in the to try for the teens and a few sad parents who won't watch a a film with their child if there is no t a greed greed and more greed br br compare this to the classic children's films and we can get a disturbing view of world is turning into these guys should stick to making mtv videos how on earth this movie got 400 votes as a perfect 10 is beyond me unless its the directors family,negative +this is an excellent james bond movie although it is not part of the original and more famous series and it is a film it is very well done sean connery to return to the role he made famous was a stroke of genius as was the movie in a way that references his past to not play bond again connery was as great as he was in his earlier appearances the script is outstanding as are the photography and the performances it's the earliest movie i recall with kim basinger who became much more famous after this film barbara was excellent and maria was absolutely perfect as the main villain the frequent references to the aging of bond and the changing times and attitudes of the british secret service were most humorous the those of the other bond films the only thing missing was the famous music theme which of course could not be used by this competing production it was rather amazing to me to be able to see two excellent james bond movies released in the same year this one and with roger moore an interesting aspect of the film is an emphasis on video games and computer graphics the early 80's were the first of such things and the use of them in this film made it a very contemporary movie the film is actually a different version of updated with newer technology regardless of the repeated theme there are sufficient differences to make it most entertaining i will watch this one frequently,positive +is great actresses are great but did not have to do it like this it is ok that he his position on the an extremely delicate issue but doing it like this makes him lose his point the movie is a false offensive to the intelligence full of tricks and even sometimes extremely boring some scenes are advertising material more than a movie women are incredibly attracted to this mind sick man who wants to make someone to kill him not understanding the of that he seems not to care about no one and thank them for their caring love and attention i think that might have make people think about this issue in a different way but the way he chose to do it i believe is not correct he could have make his point more powerful exposing the other side of the without mocking it,negative +cannot find the perfect mate to make her first time the perfect one with geek friend in she enters a virtual machine to improve her appearance when she sees the opportunity to create her perfect man an explosion occurs and the results are left to your imagination problem is how many obvious sex jokes are left anymore how predictable can these kind of movies get a few funny moments here and there but nothing too outrageous or different from jokes in other movies or even normal life if you liked weird science or jokes about the out of combined with identity then by all means these 90 min you could enjoy,negative +everything about this film is simply incredible you truly take this journey through the eyes and soul of a child br br i do feel it is important to note this tale is about child abuse don't rent it for your kids thinking it is a fun disney film,positive +remember the wooden literary adaptations of the 1970s at their worst you will when you see this acted unintentionally hilarious piece of chocolate box adaptation most of all is catherine z j who while undeniably easy on the eye a big dress and looking for actually turning in a performance played faced like a melodrama or cold comfort farm without the jokes this effort is not helped by a scriptwriter with a tin ear for dialogue who misses entirely the sense of irony or tragedy a shame given the quality of the acting talent on offer joan claire steven all deserve better than this,negative +i love this movie i just saw it for the first time about 10 hours ago and had to it so that my sister could watch it this movie is so funny there are two times that i was laughing so hard my sides hurt i didn't expect to watch a movie so funny i really only wanted to see it because laura is in it i first saw her in which is an awesome movie as well br br like others reviewers have said too many people are expecting a deep moving film you are not going to get it what you will get is humor eye candy and the chance to ask yourself exactly what your perfect mate would look like if you could create them you can also wonder what it would be like to be stuck in the body of the opposite sex br br a hilarious sequence involves first seeing herself as a naked man i was cracking up br br i swear this movie is the most imaginative teen film that i have ever seen and it is now my favorite br br just remember why movies were originally created as entertainment not philosophy in motion remember this and you will have a great time watching virtual sexuality,positive +finally i discovered what i thought i remembered as a four year old after seeing the 1960 color version on vhs i kept saying i remembered seeing it in black and white 2 times before now the imdb has helped me to know the truth that it was broadcast twice 2 productions in black and white in 2 successful years 1955 these are the ones i remember best as a four year old i didn't realize the broadcast was not the same as the in 1960 i was 9 and the color production just didn't do it for me the black and white version was wonderful with just as much awe and wonder impact as the high tech films of today even without any computer effects you had to have been there please comment if you had a similar reaction to the b w version,positive +this film is so different to anything you would have seen before it's an honest and chilling account of an entire family's battle with a illness br br 'the closer she is shot in a very unique style craig films in a very different way using different angles and in what i find is a very eye catching manner perhaps due to his experience with works br br his style gives such a clear picture of not only what the patient herself is facing but what loved ones close to her also have to deal with br br a very sad but extremely interesting and unique film one i would definitely suggest watching,positive +people must learn to watch what is up there on the screen this is a great film that is based on a slow careful gathering of details which serve to establish the personalities of these two men the of the country cousin is well described by his fear of talking to women he has at least three chances to start a conversation with a young woman and loses all of them he has many decades of ahead of him and maybe as well br br is a different case he got out of the small town by working very hard we imagine and his of like is he leaves on the expensive carpet the we are shown a group of friends talking about among other things and we note that feels regret but only slight regret that his work has become commercial over the years the between the cousins just gets wider and wider the mouse trap theme is wonderfully vivid it brings out the compassion and confusion of and the cold blooded problem solving of br br i was reminded of two classic films of men driving each other nuts les cousins by the rich boy with played by is always in my mind and kiss of the spider woman william hurt can't figure out why everybody's so mean takes his place among the dozen important directors now active i just hope that in future he will come to rely on instead of directing writing and shooting his films himself,positive +this is one of the stupidest movies ever not the stupidest mind you but one of the stupidest this is 1 2 minutes of sleep inducing material probably jim worst movie ever the last 30 seconds of the film is the best and funniest part but hardly worth sitting through the whole movie for on the other hand if you are a die hard jim ernest fan then like me you must add this film to your collection it does have brief rare moments of humor although they are few and far between the mere fact that this movie is so hard to find makes it a item and a must have for your ernest collection i was lucky to find this film online at a dirt cheap price a couple years ago i believe i paid 1 99 plus for it and it was the only copy i could find anywhere even though this is a truly all around horrible movie it is still a must have if you are a jim fan and an ernest movie collector such as i on a scale of 1 to 10 i give this movie a 2 but thats only because i've never seen a 1 before,negative +the title pretty much lets you know what you're getting it's a grade c but not as blatantly funny as i was hoping directed by exploitation film eddie romero from a story that originally came from jonathan long before directing silence of the and philadelphia this low budget 1972 action movie was obviously filmed in the but set in some anonymous third world country playing hooker and small time drug dealer lee daniels superstar pam plays the first half of the title role while long forgotten margaret is the other half karen brent an unlikely patty like political revolutionary looking to partner with her to the oppressive local government naturally toward each other they are in a women's prison camp where they wear inexplicably bright yellow mini as uniforms run by a warden and the prison is just an excuse for a lengthy shower scene and some half hearted cat fighting as lee and karen are against each other of course they escape but together a la the ones and continue the cat fighting until they attack a couple of nuns to steal their br br meanwhile various groups of men are in pursuit the drug lord looking for lee who stole from him the rather passive looking for karen and the incompetent police who suffer the of exposing their to the drug lord needless to say everything eventually comes to a head but not before gratuitous nudity by a number of women a dog wears and some of the worst of 1970's men's fashion one beer revolutionary wears a leather top with a straight face there is a rather sad ending but what's truly sad is how much of the potential black comedy is missed entirely in this hilariously preposterous exercise sadly is disappointing in this outing because her character is not allowed much to do beyond dealing with all the while is an blonde whom i am convinced is trying desperately to be credible since no one displays any talent for acting the rest of the cast is not worth noting except bug eyed sid who uses his standard psycho persona as the drug lord the 2003 dvd contains only the original trailer as an extra,negative +this simple film makes a remarkably clear statement about a teenager and his father though a theatrical release it has a made for tv quality we can this to the director john who learned his craft in the early days of live television in new york city indeed he directed the on which the film is based deal a blow on the cbs drama series climax young stranger represents his hollywood debut after a of four years during which he would do more television he returned to direct the young with burt and a year after that all fall down with warren beatty and angela lansbury br br the casting is competent with james and kim hunter particularly good playing the parents of the title

supporting roles,positive +this is one of michael jackson's best music ever made vincent rap is totally cool and the zombies dancing with michael is totally amazing michael jackson is one of my favourite singers and he is one of the best in the world way to go michael,positive +i believe it has been over 40 years since i saw this series yet memory of it hasn't faded a bit this would be a natural for dvd re issue it seems to me many of the performers have gone on to greater fame robert hardy sean connery to name a couple though it was a role i still remember judy then in her as of france henry v she was very lovely then as now br br there is a hint on this site that the series was filmed in color is this so who of us would know virtually no color tv in those days the pity no if so some might have recorded it as a way of teaching english history this series made it come alive in ways few class room teachers can manage br br what a fine re issue this would be,positive +i recently saw blind spot in where it drew a huge crowd and some pretty intense discussion i really admired the story and visual approach the action is frightening and the mood of loneliness that the film projects is amazing there is much beauty in the melancholy that these three heroes not just in the desert but in the city too my best scene was after the boy discovers his friends in the apartment and then rides his through all the remarkable lights of the city you really feel for this guy i never heard of the actors before but i liked all three very much i think they did a terrific job on their journey to self discovery all in all this is an amazingly cool and suspenseful suspenseful film i still carry many of the images in my mind,positive +betty and boris eye each other at a

to pull off this major coup br br there are laugh out loud scenes some delightful dancing and a curse word to be heard in short the film was a pleasure to watch br br 10 stars,positive +i went along to this movie with some the original is a masterpiece of both writing and acting and unfortunately my fears were realized this is a piece of work and i sat in the theater waiting for the wit and humor to begin i'm still waiting it seems the storyline to the present time just didn't work and the of characters an absolute travesty why did they introduce bette character when she disappeared just as quickly as she arrived the related character in the 1939 original was an integral part of the plot the women in the cinema laughed a few times but nothing touched me as being funny with the exception of a line from meg ryan talking to her mother about her situation and telling her that not like a 1930's i sorely wished i was viewing the 1930's version it was all too stick and really needing some of the wit and clever dialog from the original play i still watch the original movie and pick up a line that i have never caught before there is no sense of closure to this new version and whilst the 1939 movie is politically incorrect by todays standards each thread was tied up and when the movie ended it did so strongly this remake should be labeled with a warning for any viewers if you know the original don't bother i felt cheated by losing part of my life in a cinema watching this piece of fluff bring on the jungle red,negative +this movie is bad that i've wasted way to much time already talking about it bad really bad and i'm not even that critical i'm almost ashamed to admit to having seen it few minutes show you how far she's really made it i mean really anything next to this is really oscar worthy for her i suppose the only way for her to look at it is there's no way but up after this one i suppose she had to start somewhere but really bad awful really bad is too good a word for this s t but i don't want to get mean now but really how can u not after wasting 90 minutes 90 minutes of my life that i'll never get back 90 minutes i could have spent doing something better like sitting on my butt and staring into space that would have been time better spent walks away shaking head,negative +a middle aged man robert jordan set in his ways takes on a boy after his predecessor leaves under jordan takes on the pack mostly to learn what the boys like so he can revive his radio program which is losing it's appeal to the younger set he has a rough go at first with the boys especially so with mike an 8 year old who forms an for the older man which is anything but do things work out for jordan and the check out this entertaining and amusing film from the old days,positive +i am a huge rupert everett fan i adore kathy bates so when i saw it available i decided to check it out the synopsis didn't really tell you much in parts it was silly touching and in others some parts were down right hysterical br br any person that is a huge fan of a personality of any type will find some small traits with the main character of course there are many they won't but that is the point br br if you like any of the actors give it a watch but don't look for any thing too dramatic it's good fun br br i might also mention you can see how darn tall rupert is i mean i knew he was but he seems even more in this film he even seemed to a bit due to the other characters height in this he is tall i mean tall and for you rupert fans there is a bare chest scene wonderful,positive +early 80's creature feature concerns a long abandoned gold mine that some are determined to check out naturally they find no gold down there but one very hungry monster that along in search of prey br br while i have to be honest and admit i found it dull at first i personally prefer the similar the it actually grew on me as it went along now the characters aren't too interesting nor the actors either the closest to an interesting character is morgan played by keith hurt in any event female lead is quite good looking and makes his jerk an easy person to hate the writer played by effects man mark wears thin quickly br br it begins in a predictable enough way with a set piece in which two victims are claimed to get things off to an acceptable start the monster itself is intriguing for its design as you can imagine it gets revealed a bit at a time until late in the game and for being the product of stop motion animation when this process was no longer used very much director anne phillips directing under the of david michael and crew deserve some credit for their creation of atmosphere they manage to make the film look quite claustrophobic and gloomy and their use of lighting works well the film does build in intensity towards a pretty good ending suffice it to say they do the best they can on their low budget br br an obscure little item worth looking into for die hard horror buffs br br 7 10,positive +the movie was excellent save for some of the scenes with i enjoyed how it brought together every detective on the series and wrapped up some that were never resolved during the series thanks to nbc it was great to see and together at their most human and most basic persons and did a great job but as usual will get overlooked it hurt to see that this was the end of homicide memories tapes and reruns on just aren't the same as watching it come on every friday but the movie did its job and did it very well presenting a great depiction of life after al retired and the family relationship that existed between the unit i enjoyed this a lot,positive +'s reputation it i first heard of it in one of those style movie books the 50 worst movies ever or the golden turkey awards or something like that every review of the film basically said that this movie was so bad that it would make you bleed from the eyes to watch it so when the exposed film society finally got around to showing it i was the kind of experience that only a true cinematic stinker can provide br br however robot wasn't really all that bad br br oh this is definitely a z film through and through some of the voice dubbing as is usually the case for k gordon murray is awfully cheesy and the movie itself seems to be something of a frankenstein since a huge of it seems to be footage from a previous aztec mummy movie narrated with a voice over by the leading man a dead anytime the question then what happened is asked more than twice in the dialog you are looking at footage put together with little regard for plot or momentum in then what happened or what happened then is at least four times in the 1st hour br br even without the problems the plot and dialog don't translate well to an older american audience for instance as the hero explains and explains and explains the back story he includes a remark about doctor a doctor who suddenly turned into an evil master criminal and began his quest for the treasure that the aztec mummy guards no background no explanation he just suddenly turned evil obviously this was aimed at a pretty audience br br the though is the robot the supposed showcase of this movie this robot is the worst robot special effect since kingdom or even santa claus vs the martians compared to this hunk of junk the tin man from the wizard of oz looked like the terminator that chased linda connor through the in the aztec mummy himself is well designed and executed he's undead familiar enough to look like a mummy and yet distinct from the boris karloff collection familiar to most american audiences but whoever designed the robot in this had no feel for the concept or no budget they could at least have given him some knees for sake br br in addition the titular battle is terribly executed and lasts less than 60 seconds i've seen matches on junior high that are more convincing then the movie basically just stops that seems a bit of a rip off considering the amount of time the movie spends building up to the battle itself br br in spite of all these problems the movie isn't horrible or incompetent the way a coleman francis film or a larry film was compared to monster a go go or attack of the eye creatures is like a coppola film it's just kind of dull and boring and silly the actors are competent in a mannered b movie way and reasonably dr in particular seems to be having a wonderful time as he and plots and about in his cape and phantom of the opera suit i often found myself rooting for him in spite of his being the villain br br anyway i've seen much much worse file this with vs the vampire women under interesting mexican juvenile,negative +i can't praise this film enough it had a lot of that hand held first person shaking camera which i love and some hate because it makes them sick like and blair witch project br br it is a long movie for its kind but i didn't even notice because the film was so interesting by just showing the footage from a work the movie keeps up the pace making it a real time experience for the viewer br br while i would never call this film the scariest horror ever made i'd have to say it's certainly one of the best i've seen the fear factor here is constructed by details in the images camera events linked to one another which lend a very mysterious and haunting tone to the movie the horror is more in what is not shown but left to our the ending is perfect and be warned that you might have nightmares afterwards a second viewing is highly recommended though br br watch this one alone in the dark don't expect anything and you'll have fun,positive +as a zombie fan i really love these types of plots where people end up in strange places surrounded by wicked monsters is also an excellent tie in to chronicles of the gang has to run as fast as they can away from darkness there are so many in the story is this bad guy but he's also the hero who tries to save the slow paced folks the muslim guy relies on the positions for the five times a day but he is stuck in a land where darkness will rule overall i recommend this film to any sci fi fans you won't be disappointed,positive +although at times i was the only one in the cinema who was laughing this is the main pleasure i took from the beautifully shot laughter although sometimes it seemed that the movie had an identity crisis and didn't know whether it was a tragedy or a comedy the of black humour through at regular br br it helped of course that it the standard of acting by everyone concerned was wonderful and that i was slightly obsessed by the at times wicked leading lady who was elegant no matter how blood and she became br br i read reviews that suggested this movie was overlong i didn't think so in fact the last scenes moving and hilarious i mean the brown shoes by turns were among the best in the film,positive +the andrew davies adaptation of the sarah novel was excellent the characters of and and kitty were superbly portrayed by and respectively the whole series was a total joy to watch it caught the imagination of everyone across the board whether straight or gay i wish there could be a sequel,positive +this is a film that really makes me cringe in 1951 mgm and looney were making some of their very best cartoons with amazing animation exceptional backgrounds and great stories then in the late 40s a new style of animation began to appear such as the rabbit series on tv animation with extremely simplistic artwork in order to save money unfortunately columbia cynical worked instead of the public hating the as they should have many accepted them and the oscar people actually gave this film the award for best animated short giving for an inferior product unfortunately in the dollars and sense world of hollywood this soon began to creep into the products of legitimate studios resulting in rather crappy cartoons later it got even worse as in addition to lousy animation and backgrounds the stories themselves became almost unbearable for adults to watch the and style of the classic cartoons were gone and for this tragedy i blame in part one of the of cheap cartoons the story isn't that bad but the animation is a horror and listening to the kid saying is a pain,negative +right this may be the wine talking but this could be the best movie i've seen in a very long time granted i spent much of the first half an hour wondering what the hell was going on but once i had accepted that i would never understand everything from the subtitles i was able to enjoy the film br br can you really hate a film where a staff turns into a flock of birds that over the enemy what does character development matter when faced with a lesbian alien princess whose people built the why does wear seriously diamond does any of this matter when faced with the sheer of the visuals and the sly humour of the characters any battle for my heart was won once i saw the main protagonist dressed as spider man awesome many people will complain about a lack of story but for a fun movie to laugh about with a bunch of mates you can't do better especially if you do an alcoholic shot every time someone says i will love you 10 000 years,positive +on june 1941 the city of is divided between german and russian when the german the city the nazis send the jews to a ghetto the young catholic martin alone with her young sister and hides many jews in the attic of her house along two and half years until the end of the war hidden in silence is another good story of human sympathy in world war ii this film looks like stories of courage and is also based on a true story unfortunately the actress martin performs a strong and powerful lead character but she is very weak for such a role in many dramatic situations the expression of her face is not convincing i have noted that many imdb users liked her performance but i am not sure whether they like her wonderful character or her performance indeed my vote is seven br br title brazil no hidden in fear,positive +this is like a given that its depiction of animals is so accurate however here are a few details that appear to have been slightly during the transition to film br br bullets never hit giant dragons it doesn't matter how many times you shoot at the bullets just won't go near it br br the best way to avoid being eaten by a giant or a giant dragon is just to stand there the exception to this rule is if you've been told to stay very still in which case you should run off until the is right next to you and then you should stand there expecting defeat br br minutes of choppy slow motion footage behind the credits really makes for enjoyable watching br br 5 000 is a memory tool and an ample substitute for losing your license getting arrested br br members of elite army don't see giant dragons coming until they are within one of the over sized beings maybe the computer generated nature of these dragons has something to do with it br br when filming a news story aiming on exposing illegal animal testing a reporter and a cameraman with one camera is all the gear and you will need sound gear a second camera etc are all superfluous br br when you hear a loud animal scream and one person has a gun he should take it out and point it at the nearest person br br when you take a gun out the sound of the safety being taken off will be made even if your finger is nowhere near the safety br br agree to go half way around the world in order to expose something without having the idea what they're exposing background research and vague knowledge are out of fashion in modern br br hold at least bullets in one clip and then more than that in the next clip despite that those with guns claim that they will need more br br expensive cameras also remember that the reporter only has one camera are regularly left behind without even a or regret these cameras amazingly manage to make their way back to the reporter all by themselves br br the blonde girl really is the stupid one br br the same girl that says not to go into a house because a dragon can easily run right through it thus making it takes a team into a building made of the same material for protection and nobody says a word about it br br high tech look like simple with high school chemistry sets br br snakes grow from normal size to 100 feet long in a matter of a day but don't grow at all in the weeks either side br br the military destroys entire islands when people don't meet contact br br men with guns don't necessarily change the direction they're shooting when their target is no longer right in front of them instead they just keep shooting into the air br br the better looking you are the greater your chance of surviving giant creatures br br women's is reliable enough to change even the most stubborn of minds br br any time you're being hunted by giant creatures is a great time to hit on girls half your age br br animal noises are an appropriate noise for at the same volume br br old israeli and russian planes are regularly used by the us military,negative +i watched this movie probably more than 20 times the jokes are now 10 15 years old but every time i watch it it makes me fall off my chair two of the finest actor salman khan and khan plays the lead roles here even if khan is a much better actor and got the better role smart guy in the movie salman khan matches and sometimes perform even better as the dumb guy all the characters are memorable this movie is filled with hilarious one liners and funny situations a little too silly probably don't try to look for logic in this movie let your brain relax for some time i promise it will be an experience to remember,positive +apart from the da james and a brief appearing woman who is convincingly sympathetic to ellen plight ellen herself is the only convincing character and likable character in the movie she is the one not her dying mother who should be and is the one true thing it's not only in the role in acting but also in the plot itself until the plot turns against itself and makes the mother the one true thing in the eyes of her weak shallow husband who can do nothing right for his wife or daughter the daughter what the viewer but such intelligent must give way to the shallow sentiment of the husband who is out on both the realities of his wife and daughter br br to boot the one powerful scene in this whole movie when ellen confronts her father's cruelty is given the lie at the end ellen is just another young strong woman who must be into by a father a very flawed movie so flawed as to be called a bore and not worth the time,negative +the frozen limits is a big screen vehicle for the artists known as the crazy gang they were a group of british who formed in the early 1930s in the main the six men were bud allen jimmy teddy knox charlie and jimmy gold hugely popular in the variety the group were also of the then royal family the plot here sees them as the wonder boys who set off to seek their in after reading about a gold rush in the newspaper only problem is is that when they finally get to red it turns out they are 40 years too late br br i often cringe when i see the statement it's very british because it implies that those not of the british may struggle to get it the reason it bothers me is because in this www internet age i have garnered a of non british film loving friends who have been known to split their sides at the best of ealing will and the terry thomas so then is it true that something such as the frozen limits is unlikely to be appreciated by a non british audience well yes it's true so much here is british but really it has to be said that the classic movie fan is pretty well in history and when all is said and done the visual here is universal with the not so wild west make over an absolute winner a winner that has every chance of being more appreciated by an american audience now than it will be by a british audience not all the comedy works and in truth the big 6 are big time by a film stealing moore but there are skits and parodies here that deserve respect and a nod of from more comedy acts you are unlikely to nearly fall off your chair like i did because of an gag but if you be a classic comedy film fan i feel sure that you will at the worst acknowledge there's some very talented people at work here br br now then dose the always get their man 8 10,positive +well the movie is basically about the last days of a specific russian in before the main in 1985 the movie accurately portrays the grim realities of russian army that have made it infamous officers and physically beating and younger mixed character of war you can trade with your enemy one day and kill him the next life of women at the front lines documentary of helicopter and being and sent home in c class russian planes with to jam boredom anti war sentiment emotional side simply put the there's some action scenes but they are poorly done and often are illogical like major walk and turning of his back to 10 year old kid armed with who's father he just killed also the fact that in the middle of in the mountains heavy pops out of nowhere and any half bright person knows that it's virtually impossible to 40 50 on the march anyone but at the same time films shows that war is a dirty affair where murder is sometimes destruction of whole for little or no reason is normal killing of civilians is overlooked as damage inevitable during war some food for thought as to why war as lost not the best war movie made but profound and intelligent enough to be worth watching,positive +i have to admit that in spite of all media promotion and being for oscar my expectation from the film was not so high before watching it and i really found what i expected a film trying to be likable for both for and in turkey trying being authentic for foreign and enough funny for all but it should be understood that it is not possible to be for everybody therefore film stays as average for all br br whole movie is telling a story occurred within 24 hours to fit the short story in a full movie length some scenes are added without a connection with the main story these are mostly the ice cream selling scenes to the eccentric local people i e goat old women etc and each of these selling scenes are tried to be interesting to the by skits with comic dialogs the subject is mentioned as a universal problem struggle of a local producer against holding companies and but this was the interesting subject of twenty years before most of the readers will remember the hero against supermarket from in 1980's this was the correct story at correct time shortly the story is not strong enough and worth to be a movie as by now br br except some due to local accent the performance of cast is so successful the leading role is played by with excessive body language but anyway he is successful too br br on the other hand against limited budget efforts of director and players are obviously giving a good mood to the film but this is not resulting a film well enough either to compare with italian neo or worth to be oscar br br note in the real life normally the ice cream would stop his own production and be the dealer of one of the of brand,negative +a sci fi network original not the best not far from being the worst an richard stumbles onto a key that can open a to a parallel earth that has been taken over by mutant the have been controlled by a super sized alien queen for the past thirty years she has already eaten up the population of this parallel world that resembles chicago minus inhabitants guess what now she must find another world to feed on the leads a four man team that reluctantly finds themselves with the task of saving the world the finale confrontation is probably the best part of the whole movie the cast also features richard colin fox kate jason jones and david newman one would have thought that the sci fi network could have spent more money on special effects,negative +i saw this short film on the dvd for scott's film the there was no introduction by scott before the film it just started right up br br boy and a is hardly an example of scott's other work it bears no resemblance the film shows a boy played by tony scott riding around on a guess what that's pretty all that happens the boy rides around rambling on and on with pointless confusing dialogue the film was shot in black and white and since it was directed by scott i expected some cool cinematography or visually striking sets instead i was treated with nothing this film isn't even good for a first effort however i recommend that any fan of scott should check it out at least once,negative +here's another of these modern day ultra sleaze comedies in which dysfunctional families are supposedly hilarious know wonder people once asked what ever happened to shore well shore didn't disappear but his career took a nose dive that's for sure movies like this one didn't help br br in son in law shore plays an incredibly obnoxious character called crawl and yet he's the most likable of the family his father is a idiot his mother is totally incompetent his young brother is a sex maniac and his college age sister is a real br br watching an hour and a half of totally unlikeable people was tough to do i certainly wouldn't watch this again or recommend it to anyone but die hard shore fans adam sandler took and went a lot further with it br br the following is an from the imdb title page here under biography and it explains why i am not the only one who was disgusted with this movie br br but his was as crude dumb and for the most part unfunny his film career quickly this downhill spiral was not helped by the failure of his failed fox sitcom 1997 in 1997 by both critics and media alike he was soon becoming a running joke and forced to lie low and ride out the storm,negative +curse of the forty doesn't really deserve a long and detailed review so i'll just make some random observations about it br br cool opening credits br br no plot br br is there anyone who's ever seen a horror film before and can't guess within the first 20 minutes who will survive and who will not among this group of walking stereotypes br br hey that newcomer alexandra ford is pretty hot br br richard lynch made up to look about 100 years old and john phillip law have fun tongue in cheek cameos br br karen black has a bigger role but she's not fun she's rather embarrassing br br martin is on screen for about 40 seconds but still got his name on the video cover did they pay him for this appearance or was it the other way around br br i hate cheap computer generated effects in horror films br br 1 2 out of 4,negative +i can't explain it but i find this movie not only funny but so enjoyable i feel compelled to watch it over and over or at least i did when i had cable tv i always felt it was a really poorly made movie but perhaps that is because i watched it on cable i plan to get a dvd of this movie to really take an honest look at at but more importantly to just have a good time watching it i liked the plot and the idea of the movie and i especially liked the cast i always wonder if the cast enjoyed making the movies they are in and this is no exception this film deserved a better fate than it received and deserved at least one love scene with ms holly who wouldn't the characters in this movie were the kind of guys i could identify with when i was in the military and the was exact nice going troops,positive +as valuable as king tomb ok maybe not that valuable but worth hunting down if you can i notice no one has commented on this movie for some years and i hope a fresh post will spark some new comments this is a film that i remembered only snippets of from childhood and only saw recently when i tired of waiting for fox to honour its own past and hunted down the korean dvd in english but with korean subtitles i won't go through another long plot description suffice to say that seeing it for the first time in its proper widescreen format left me at the and the scope of the film the paintings still hold up and the palace sets are truly breathtaking but it is the smaller scale details that lend this film its depth and offering a glimpse into the of poor as well as its elite the houses and are as fascinating as throne room while errors abound on the large scale most notably the succession the details are more than the vast majority of hollywood's films visually it's not without its flaws the interiors are often too overly lit and colourful to blend with the nevertheless this is a movie that should be credited for being as in the small as it is in the large tedious in parts absolutely yes both though might be a more apt description too long absolutely not i wished they had spent more time with experiences in the house of death and among the and less with his with though historically inaccurate yes that too but so was shakespeare nobody him for it i appreciate historical accuracy as much as the next guy but ultimately it has to be remembered that cinema is theater not a history lesson,positive +starring ann forrest damon donald patricia smith directed by john 12 months to live so little time to plan a future she would not share for the sake of her 10 children she must succeed br br ann is the caring mother of 10 young children she is the loving wife of forrest a man almost crippled by she is also dying stricken by a illness she has only a few months left to live her husband tormented by the painful truth turns to the bottle and with a broken heart is forced to accept that he will never be able to cope as a father alone br br and so for the sake of the children she loves so much the young mother must make an decision br br inspired by real life events will love my is a tribute to one woman's courage and strength a story of sacrifice and of a dying mother's love br br one of the best films that i have ever seen cried from start to finish,positive +i'm an animator myself and an all around buff of the medium so when i saw this movie in a 5 bin i figured it was worth a shot to add to my collection while i never regret having a new addition to my animation library this film was definitely disappointing br br the premise has enough potential a penguin named finds the perfect to give to the girl he loves as the penguin equivalent to an engagement ring but before he can give it to her he's cast out by an evil rival and lost at sea he then befriends another penguin who helps him find his way home that set up isn't great but it's enough to set up what could be a fun adventure unfortunately the exploits never really amount to much and it all gets pretty repetitive most of the situations they find themselves in are really uninspired and lacking in creativity and the bonding the two of them under go is cheesy and forced br br animation is good but not up to don usual standards this is the guy that gave us the secret of land before time and an american tale all of which had an attention to detail that often disney the of feature animation this one doesn't amount to much beyond high end tv fair br br the music is alright but pretty forgettable and the voice actors are all wasted talent martin short is particularly wasted here as the lead character who in spite of being spoken of as a is practically a straight man through the whole film br br in short the movie will probably appeal to very small kids but a good family film should appeal to all ages and unfortunately it doesn't got what it takes,negative +not since harold and has suicide been so successfully used as the theme for a love story the acting by a top notch cast is terrific with a well structured script things progress at an enjoyable pace there are moments of black comedy but i would my sweetheart as a unique romantic comedy with a touch of dark humor the relationship between two psychologically challenged lovers is both touching and engaging the movie actually makes you question what is a normal relationship i highly recommend my sweetheart seek it out on dvd under the title crazy for love you will not be disappointed,positive +spoiler alert wasted 85 minutes of my life watching this film first of all we think it is hilarious that the producer in the film as the doctor with a horrible unbelievable accent what the hell was that anyway romanian and how is it that in no one speaks danish except the creatures note the scottish camp director and who does the shopping for the creatures their pants looked like they were purchased at banana republic very nicely dressed for being years old this one was worse than scarecrow we didn't think that was even possible we basically fast through 75 of the movie looking for any gore death scary moments none found do rent the dvd just to watch the 2 hour behind the scenes of creatures who are these people are they serious and the filmmakers are like 60 years old i think this is their holy grail and that's pathetic enough in and of itself br br best line from the movie hands down not bad for a girl who never even went to graduate school my blind grandma who has could make a better movie,negative +help once again paul has his own intentions with dull storytelling i a vacation so that i could see this world premiere what a mistake why did even want to make an exorcist film intentions are fine but if i wanted 2 hours of i would visit my sunday school father struggle with his faith as presented in his younger days is a potentially interesting subject but an exorcist movie needs more the relentlessly presentation along with ridiculous special effects makes for a strange production who is this movie for i didn't bother seeing the version but at least they apparently tried to deliver some sort of visceral thrills br br the exorcist series has been quite strange the first film was excellent but every sequel has been and pointless why do they keep making them i suppose made it so that he could get a lot of money but why should we go,negative +doesn't this seem somewhat familiar oh wait that's right 90 of the jokes in this movie have already been done in the tv series what's the point in repeating yourself you may ask is it for the benefit of the americans who haven't seen the programme did the run out of inspiration or maybe everyone on set suffered a sudden attack of and forgot they'd covered this ground already either way for someone who has sat through the first three series this was just really boring i had to turn it off during the that turn your water part yes it is very funny but give us something original for goodness sake actually if the best new stuff you can come up with is leonard take on saturday night fever you can forget it br br the guy they got to replace the late richard beckinsale is a alright but not half the actor personally i would the role as a mark of respect to him or better yet not bothered making the film at all and just let the hilarity of the tv series speak for itself but no they couldn't do that not as long as there was money to be made sad really 4 10,negative +really for a short film that looks high budget this is just a candy piece of p it tries so hard to be hollywood but even hollywood stories have an okay story sometimes money wasted on an effort to be hollywood waste of almost a half hour of any viewers time for the short film buff look elsewhere,negative +when i first saw a glimpse of this movie i quickly noticed the actress who was playing the role of lucille ball rachel portrayal of lucy is absolutely awful lucille ball was an astounding comedian with incredible talent to think about a legend like lucille ball being portrayed the way she was in the movie is horrendous i cannot believe out of all the actresses in the world who could play a much better lucy the producers decided to get rachel york she might be a good actress in other roles but to play the role of lucille ball is tough it is pretty hard to find someone who could resemble lucille ball but they could at least find someone a bit similar in looks and talent if you noticed portrayal of lucy in episodes of i love lucy like the chocolate factory or nothing is similar in any way her expression voice or movement br br to top it all off danny playing is horrible does not qualify to play as ricky he's small and skinny his accent is unreal and once again his acting is unbelievable although fred and were not similar either they were not as bad as the characters of lucy and ricky br br overall extremely horrible casting and the story is badly told if people want to understand the real life situation of lucille ball i suggest watching a e biography of lucy and read the book from lucille ball herself or american masters finding lucy if you want to see a before the laughter would be a better choice the casting of lucille ball and in before the laughter is much better compared to this at least a similar aspect is shown rather than nothing,negative +there are actually some good reasons why a person should take the risk of going totally insane by watching this show the breasts are nice even though some of them aren't that real but they usually come in which is good watching the beach on your screen is also a very relaxing experience as it is an ideal place for just taking it easy and not worrying too much about getting eaten by a rubber shark it's always good to remember that david is a god not the god but a god it's not so much about his acting skills since there are none but his does a lot of talking also there's no hanging out in this series which is good since mr told in an interview that he always thought was gay naturally that might make him to look like an idiot but considering the other statements he has made lately it shouldn't be surprising to anyone br br in a nutshell this is the kind of show that is totally harmless to people it gives us a lot to stare at and a lot to laugh at which is something many intentionally shows really don't give us i have to say it's no wonder that fell in love with pamela anderson i enjoy watching the show no it's not a great show actually it's quite horrible but i enjoy watching it it's basically like a b movie stretched to last for a decade,negative +people have often been uncomfortable with the of due to its anti subject matter fortunately this movie avoids that instead to show how anti supreme in century europe the story of course is that antonio jeremy needs money so that he can help joseph ask for collins hand in marriage he gets the money from jewish al pacino who demands a pound of flesh if the latter doesn't pay back the when antonio can't pay back the is determined to get what is him br br we would expect this cast to do a good job and they don't disappoint it is yet another testament to what a great actor al pacino is,positive +i love sarah and was worried about the tv adaptation as i'd been disappointed by the version of the which although beautiful to look at was let down by not being able to sing and not being able to act is a very tightly plotted novel with breath taking twists and turns and i wondered if this could be done justice to in just 3 hours br br i have worried the adaptation was excellent very little cut out and went along at a cracking pace although i did wonder whether if you hadn't read the book would you miss things it had the look and feel of a bbc classic costume drama and i kept having to remind myself that this is a contemporary book br br the acting was stellar sally acting her heart out as sue and cassidy a slow who by the end of the story was as the love the passion the of the acts of betrayal both would have to perform were written on their faces it was a joy to watch br br i hope was watching that's how you play a sarah waters character,positive +chris her way through most of this but then quickly takes on an air of boredom and disdain much as i did when watching it without her this would be no more than a cheap kids' movie but at least she does add an air of quality there are few if any more visually striking and charismatic young actresses in the business br br there's not much wrong with it as long as you accept it for what it is a cheap disney re make aimed at very children i could watch all day so i'm probably oblivious to many of the movie's shortcomings but unless you too are a fan a cat lover or very small child i doubt you will find this very entertaining,negative +viewing both of these films is not a bad idea to get a sense of early film production and acting for the camera styles i give the nod to garbo but not by much in regard to her is but his performance is aimed for a large theater something else that struck me was the movies themes of for women and there hadn't been any films coming out of hollywood yet that allowed the voices of characters like anna and to take the these were very films for their time it's quite that o'neill saw the writing on the wall way before everyone else did about the future of america,positive +the western can be divided into many sub genres one of the is that between town westerns and westerns most westerns are a mix of both but at one end of the spectrum you have pictures like high and bravo that take place almost entirely in a seldom out into the real at the other end you have ones like master where there is barely a on view amid the wilderness br br director john ford normally on the bit of both westerns shooting the interiors with an emphasis on their being small and confined and then this with the wide open which appeared both exciting and dangerous master has a typical frank script with some interplay between seasoned and green youngsters but still it presents ford with some fresh challenges in this picture the dangers do not come from the of the landscape they come from within the group in the form of the what's more the absence of real interior scenes means the could lose its impact over time br br however ford was a real when it came to space he shoots scenes of the camp or the so the frame is surrounded and we get that same sense of as we would in a genuine interior also compared to his other westerns he does not in fact open out the space too much having the trail its way through and passes rather than cross the stark and empty one of the few moments where he does throw the landscape wide open is when the indians are spotted and there is the possibility of a threat from outside br br master features some surprisingly effective moments of comic relief and some great from the quirky cast harry carey jr was up into a fine actor like his and this is one of his better early roles was disappointing in she wore a yellow but she appears more at ease as a character with a bit of and is actually fairly good here jane who won an oscar in the john ford directed of wrath a decade earlier appears here with sole function of performing a running gag in which she sounds a feeble old horn still with her great timing and movement she makes the piece work francis ford in one of the many mute roles he played in his little brother's pictures is at his best br br and now we come to lead man ben johnson although he was by no means a bad actor he was never going to become a big star like john wayne and yet with his and he was one of the most west players around and this brings me onto my final point this was apparently one of ford's personal favourites despite it seeming fairly master has no grand theme or dramatic intensity it is simply the genre playing itself out i think this is what ford loved about it it's a picture for the ben and the harry carey not the john or the henry small in scope but worthy in its class,positive +must be the most god awful movie i have seen in a long time in fact i want my money back what a waste of time no plot minimal character development questionable motives poor dialogue sub standard acting what else can i say if you haven't seen it don't bother i wouldn't even hire out the video and if you happen to come by it on tv change the channel the only reason anyone might have to see this movie would be to see whether the gratuitous violence lived up to all the hype which quite frankly is why they added it if you want to see some eating his own brain then fast forward to that bit br br what was the purpose of this movie its like someone just asked 'i wonder what is up to these and we just went along for the ride he is free in the beginning and he's free at the end in between is a lot of self on the part of anthony hopkins and the film makers moore tries to some life into her but they gave her a sub standard script and as far as i'm concerned she was set up to fail br br in my opinion this is just a very very bad story in every sense of the word the only reason it made so much money was because of the senseless violence they added which at the end of the day leaves you more with a feeling of contempt than the horror you are supposed to feel br br i give it a big fat,negative +possible spoilers warning br br you never know the guy keeps telling he's an alien but seems to be the most human in the whole story arrived from distant planet said weird things advanced the science the doctor or was it just a crazy dream you never know better see k for yourself think br br great acting of all the cast don't forget to notice the music it's right in a place lot of fun some sadness 8 of 10 after all,positive +i watched this as part of a vampire movie marathon with research intent otherwise there is no way i'd have watched it all the way through the first scene a bunch of vampires in very bad seemingly get by various slow moving weapons by an even slower moving van wannabe in black and white with a voice over sets the pace for the entire rest of the film the fight scenes look ridiculous the would be funny if the acting wasn't so bad what passes for plot doesn't make sense and the production values bite from the knock off of coat worn by the hero to the cheesy cheap cape their lead around br br i've seen some bad movies check out the magic sword with b or the with a very young jack n but this one gets my vote for worst of all times,negative +as with many of films a lot of people find them to be boring and confusing well i like them and i like this film too i went out and rented it on dvd and i watched it 3 times it is a very subtle movie that provides an experience for those who did not enjoy it you just wasted 2 hours of your life too bad,positive +how can anybody give this anything higher than a br br i thought the hands of fate would forever be the worst movie ever to itself upon my nerve indeed i didn't think anything could be worse br br i was wrong is that rare movie where every single element of it is bad how often have you watched a movie and commented who the hell lit this thing from lighting to soundtrack to effects to script to acting to cinematography to well everything this movie is absolutely it's so bad i couldn't even tell for some time if it was the worst comedy or the worst drama i'd ever seen br br it's too bad even to be laughable i'd sooner eat a of broken glass than sit through it again,negative +solid documentary about kids who first surf then in the face of the american dream sadly some of the youngest and most gifted to the lure of drugs while others become slaves to the crass marketing of their go for broke instincts few come out on top but the die is cast and fruit of it all is the new national the new york times notes that it was once considered a to authority now however has its own summer camps video games magazines actually it always had these and corporate co another kid cultural,positive +this feeble attempt at your typically bland japanese horror movie more towards a creepy cult hit did not have the needed to keep the viewer involved throughout translated to is about just that an irrational and tribute to the strange spiral into that has seemingly captivated a whole small town into obsessed while this certainly makes for a b movie on the surface the tiresome acting direction and script will have all but asian horror buffs shaking their heads in what could have roughly translated into japanese equivalent of an early david lynch piece instead out it's before it even has a chance to explain itself which of course it does not aside from a few clever techniques employed the movie rarely the with the dull script ultimately coming across as a cheap exploitation into the cult genre hollow imagery for genuine substance when the movie had ended there was hardly anything that was gained from any of the interactions save a tiny few scenes or images that rose above the one note film i do applaud the makers for at least trying to take the genre into more supernatural and understand the rough lost in translation but with zero substance to back any of it's up this will likely be to obscure ridden,negative +afraid of the dark left me with the impression that several different screenplays were written all too short for a feature length film then spliced together clumsily into this monster br br at his best the protagonist lucas is creepy as hard as it is to draw a on the secondary characters they're far more sympathetic br br afraid of the dark could have achieved mediocrity had it taken just one approach and seen it through and had it made lucas simply psychotic and confused instead of and off putting i wanted to see him packed off into an asylum so the rest of the characters could have a normal life,negative +if you want to truly experience the magic of don then check out alien factor or maybe fiend but not this alien factor is actually rather imaginative considering the low budget and it's fairly creepy but which i guess is sort of an of alien factor is just plain dumb actors through their roles especially mr sheriff and the monster is some dumb halloween mask kind of thing instead of the wildly imaginative but kind of stupid looking from alien factor a spaceship crashes on earth and there's a inside of course who runs around people and ripping off arms etc and he has a cool ray gun that he uses to people too until it gets shot out of his hand and that's really about it alien factor beats this mess hands down if you really want to see a good don movie check that out instead and rip don 12 2,negative +every episode i saw when i was an innocent child was stupid there were some funny looking puppets called the who would always discuss childhood things they would play this song before the part of the show that goes like this let's join the there was a marx puppet that told jokes before the session this man would sing hot right on there was a green puppet with teeth that was called we would always see more he would crack jokes and sing every episode there was always a moral in every episode one episode a man sang are losers another episode he was singing about sharing and caring said tell me about those two little girls sharon and karen the hot part has this man doing weird stuff and they played weird music,positive +a notorious big budget flop when released this robert altman inspired comedy has some terrific moments and an occasionally inspired cast although it goes on to long an loses its focus completely there are enough funny moments that will keep a curious viewer watching until the end if you are a fan of character actors and actresses this will be a treat for you you will recognize so many terrific little known performers throughout this movie you may not know their names but you know their faces heck even the kid from a christmas story turns up in a small part rent if from netflix if you read this i bet you will enjoy it,positive +diane lane is beautiful and sexy and is gorgeous but this film is no better than mediocre and that's being generous the story line is onto a and remains thoroughly br br set in let's say a of the plot would be deemed ridiculous all that saves the movie are the countryside and occasional scenes set in and and a film of the while the sun sinks slowly in the west variety would have served better to show what it certainly one of the locales in all the world,negative +i attempted to watch this and was highly disappointed don't expect intelligent and insightful humor ala brother david amidst this dreck it is the polar opposite but if you're into fart and jokes you'll be in seventh heaven this is bathroom humor aimed i assume at those who've had several which can only explain why many reviewers have this crap as the best television writing ever i assume that those who hate such humor were unable to watch long enough to care to submit a review but i am just sending out a warning shot to those unaware viewers who are looking for high end comedy the characters the shock factor is set to 10 and the laughs are set to zero unless of course you seek juvenile low brow humor br br i made it through 40 minutes praying the whole time it would turn the corner toward worthwhile entertainment but alas it just got worse and worse and beware of ever present and hammy expression it will set your eyes rolling it was nice to see cameos by recognizable comedic actors i enjoy but i can only assume they agreed to participate as a favor to the family br br to those who loved it i'm sorry this is my opinion it was so bad it inspired me to write my first review,negative +darling is fantastic its by far one my favorite films it certainly didn't deserve the poor reviews it received julie andrews playing the title role of smith is the best part of the whole movie she is and spectacular as julie andrews is my most favorite actress and singer by far i was most not surprised by how stunning she is this movie is just great i'm running out of it's magnificent marvellous amazing funny terribly romantic sad and just an all out thrill and its all thanks to dame julie andrews and to her husband director blake oh yeah rock hudson was ok too br br julie andrews is the beautiful and well loved singer smith rock hudson portrays major who quickly falls for and she with him but their affair was not there meeting was planned by the german government i'm not sure if that's exactly what you'd call them but you get the point because the warm happy singing entertainer is actually a german spy is told to seduce major in order to get information of the new top secret later know as though is on a mission she falls in love with bill major for real making her original quest challenging but pulls through and er task after she finds out something that is not really true about bill the ending will remain by me as it is wonderfully out if anything you'll thoroughly enjoy this movie i most certainly did br br,positive +the new hope of romanian cinema if this is the new hope then i wouldn't really like to see the saving hero of such a prolific cinema romanian cinema that is now seriously where should i start 1 the crappy scenario are you kidding me this is not even believable not to mention it's high degree of stupidity 2 the direction what direction this movie should have had psychological tension at least that since they have decided to make it look as trashy as possible i admit is no polanski hitchcock or lynch the list could go on but at least the minimum of effort would have been appreciated 3 the language i don't understand why almost every single romanian director believes that if you make the movie as miserable and obscene as possible then you have art i don't mind explicit language or bad image quality as long as the final result makes it worthwhile in this case it doesn't there is nothing to comment upon since everything this movie wants to say was already told thousand times the characters are far too portrayed to become memorable the shocking events that occur are also poorly illustrated and become this film relies only on the self induced emotions on the we must hype someone was found murdered so we must feel sad frightened or someone went through this and that so we must feel in a certain way that's because a movie is a piece of fiction nothing is for real here so the only true emotions are those that you discover when you wander deep into it's world the movie's that is br br,negative +jess franco makes exploitation films and he has made tons of them franco is responsible for some of the most shocking films in cinema history and god bless him for it unfortunately the of is a truly awful movie that is not up to his usual standards br br exploitation films should be judged on story sex and gore what else is there this film fails on most of those the plot is paper thin placing a young girl in the jungle among cannibals we really don't get information on why she and her father were there in the first place as expected her father is the big white chief and she becomes a sitting in trees naked add fortune hunters and precious stones and you have your basic rescue the girl for greedy intentions plot line the characters are stock not adding an ounce of believability to the proceedings br br gore none or at least very little this film is often mentioned in the same vein as the classic italian cannibal movies those seeking that type of gore need to run the other way save for one cheap be heading this movie features surprisingly little blood and guts br br as best i can tell the only reason this movie exists is so mess and carmen could run around naked actually carmen does the full frontal heavy while the two jungle ladies are bare throughout yes there are love scenes probably the most franco has ever the women are beautiful but nothing here to really make this movie an erotic classic either br br this movie just of low budget the sets are laughable the acting is horrid and the editing is confusing there is no real story to hold this together and not enough of a budget or effort to shock or i think franco fans have come to expect more out of the master of exploitation,negative +i have seen this movie many times and i never get sick of it it is about a man coming out of the closet that he doesn't know he is in kevin character is a teacher and when one of his former students character is gay the people in his town start to whether he is straight or gay character starts to wonder if he is straight or gay too the acting is absolutely fabulous and hilarious by all the cast i found the movie very funny and heart warming i love this movie it makes you laugh and makes you feel good while watching it i recommend this movie to everyone you will have a great time watching it,positive +really enjoyed from heaven if you liked my big fat greek wedding you will like this too once the story line is set it begins to keep you guessing the outcome i think we'll be hearing more from five sisters productions i know i'll be watching for their next movie,positive +this was a fantastically funny film why won't they show it again tim was superb as were all the players direction was inspired and some of the gags were the pitch had me on the floor show it again so i can video it,positive +i was surprised and touched by this emotional movie which moved me very strange i was confused sad and happy in the same moment i guess that too less people will pay attention to this movie but i hope that at least a few will see it and get something out of it the story of two friends linked by their suffers of whom as a team beat the medical well fare system and fight for their rights this movie shows a side which some of us would never understand not too exaggerated but emotional presented hopefully this movie will help us to understand some of their desires better and realize how important it is to have a friend in the world especially when you almost unable to express that fact,positive +spoilers abound you have been warned br br i was thoroughly disappointed this being my first street fighter movie i have seen i dare not go near the 1994 joke yet very little grabs your attention in street fighter zero as opposed to most the fights are hilariously done over board versus was a and the is far too moody especially toward the end when has to control everything in his fight against his brother br br the main street fighter has been to a far darker version inside of himself in controlling this darkness are further complicated by the sudden arrival of a younger brother a shady street fighting is held with more than just fighting on the 's mind br br what is with the artist 's drawing of feet any anime drawn above the stomach is impressive the story 's soft nature makes the street fighter genre far too intelligent and places far more emphasis on a character that is not even a fighter in the video game a character study on more than just the core stars of the original street fighter is completely ignored how many times did you catch guy street fighter zero lacks the imagination of the video game,negative +brad pitt sticks his finger in diane leg wound and keeps it there until he gets what he wants funny horribly so the invented yarn takes the dirty dozen for a ride and sometimes it to pay tribute to other movies lots of fun even paris when it is mentioned in a delightfully piece of dialog i was thrilled by character and by his sensational performance brad pitt creates a true original i love the actor's lack of vanity there's a in the character that is pure brad pitt tarantino visits a new universe but fortunately his hand his brain and his heart are visible all over the place,positive +alice a new york doctor gets her license suspended when she treats one of her patients with an drug resulting in the death without a job alice is forced to go to where she tends to the brother of a wealthy white the brother thinks he's a zombie and is deeply involved in the local people's voodoo practices and ritual is a mediocre horror flick the action is pretty dull the plot twists are silly and there is no suspense there is a bit of gore as someone is killing off white people with a but not too much the cinematography is decent however the acting is truly definitely one to avoid 4 out of 10,negative +this film is not one of those films so bad you get annoyed and mad because it seems to be so up its own and yet it completely not funny it's just that there is nothing of interest in this film there are no real jokes that make you amused you just watch for 80 minutes then turn it off i bought this on very budget dvd and i'm glad because it's not worth much this isn't even one of those films that's so bad you can watch it with friends when getting drunk high and have a good giggle i didn't hate it like i hate some films but it is rather boring and not worth any time in br br the only people who voted 10 on the votes for this film must have been connected to it somehow because i cannot imagine anyone actually liking this film other than small children passing time,negative +okay so i am through my mom and extensive dvd collection mostly because they don't charge late and i come upon a thousand i was stunned that here was a movie that had jessica lange and michelle pfeiffer with a small appearance by jennifer jason leigh that i had not seen i don't think i had ever even heard of it before well this is exactly the kind of find that i dream about since i have to admit that my parents raised two movie buffs in my brother and me with a few exceptions neither of us can even get them to consider watching the lord of the rings movies but my dad loves the matrix trilogy go figure we have very similar tastes in movies br br it was a particularly awful day today weather wise it rain all day so i popped in this movie and shortly after i was br br this has to be one of the all time best i have seen jessica lange and michelle pfeiffer are great in their roles especially since they are playing very different types jessica character is a people pleasing who despite her being the senior child in the family rarely takes a role rather she to her father jason and sister rose pfeiffer and is hell bent on teaching her little sister caroline leigh how to follow suit michelle pfeiffer plays a very strong cancer survivor who is barely able to keep the anger at her unhappy life contained this movie is five years prior to white mind you so it was definitely inspiring to see her playing such a strong angry character br br i would have to say that this movie will probably appeal more to women however true movie buffs who enjoy a film for what it is regardless of genre or target audience will have a hard time denying the charm of this touching drama about family secrets and what they do the people involved and those who love them i don't know how i missed seeing this movie before now but it sure was a nice distraction on a rainy afternoon enjoy,positive +this story had the potential of a good film the difficult choice of love versus money and the angst and regret of making the wrong one however the movie was ruined by the horrible of robert redford as the villain who offers 1 000 000 to sleep with moore like redford has to pay for it good looks and all american charm just don't cut it as an unlikeable threatening acting are to make his character menacing i can see it now 1 000 000 to sleep with robert redford ok says the lady but you will have to give me some time to raise the money jack nicholson would have been perfect as the,negative +the saving grace of this film is its humour playing up to the strengths of their star warner brothers cast their version of general as a cocky dashing with a romantic streak and an unexpected strain of it was robin hood all over again and flynn in the role all his best action pictures made use of his talent for and comic timing and this one was no exception br br it also benefits from the return of former co star olivia de despite an earlier to break the the part of strong minded is a better role than the sweet love interest types she had grown tired of playing for the studio in later films and after seeing the script he had specifically de be cast so that she could do justice to the part in this final collaboration she all her considerable acting skill into what is at heart basically a adventure movie and the screen chemistry is for once she and flynn get the chance to develop their characters beyond the initial romance into an old married couple to equally winning effect br br the flynn de pairing and the streak of comedy are what have provided this film's when most of other westerns held in such affection by the contemporary american public although allegedly not by their star have long since been forgotten the action scenes are fairly despite ironically the death of an extra in a fall during one of the filmed charges and the villains of the piece turn out fashion to be the same people who were horrid to our hero on his very first day at west point and thus continue to him throughout his career it cuts down on the cast list but it's a too morally convenient br br however these are largely irrelevant to a film that never set out to be more than a rousing piece of entertainment aided and by a sterling group of supporting players including anthony quinn in an all but role as the leader errol flynn his way through the plot courtesy of his usual looks unexpected mischievous flash point cheerful and sheer high charisma he's a reckless but you can't help but like him and it's hard to go away without the tune of its way through your ears for many days thereafter br br this is one of lasting hits it also contains a surprising amount of good acting amongst the fun and is a film worthy of being remembered,positive +sucked i saw this movie last week and it is horrible what bull has my 2 year old was asking me if all have and trying to explain to her that this is simply not true and seeing the movie only confused her more br br in addition the violent theme scared my 2 year old they made the looking and this has a fear of into my daughter i know for a fact are not and are natural the mother and son who were sitting in front of us were shouting kill him kill him in a particular scene in the movie where good vs evil per say br br it is a lion king rip off and they should stop using big name actors for a lame movie steve who has also done thumb movies such as thumb wars and many others are so so bad br br if a good steve movie ever comes out in my lifetime i will roll over naked and swallow my and post it on youtube com enough said,negative +very good starring dick which in a way kind of reminded me of only angels have wings 1939 in which also acted this film was directed by masterful william who was responsible for the landmark silent picture wings br br plays a devil may care airplane pilot who is a blamed for an accident afterwards he meets and falls for pretty sally who as part of an act in an air circus but when brother appears in scene a relationship ensues br br central airport has many thrilling moments and some moving and touching scenes too thanks to the great chemistry that develops between and who in my opinion in this film resembles very much actress dorothy tom brown is good as brother fresh from his success in tom brown of br br great special effects good flying stunts paced film in all highly entertaining don't miss it when tcm it again,positive +a real surprise not exactly family entertainment from disney some violence lots of tense moments and a great story based on fact the theme of night crossing is determination wins never losing sight of their objective two east german families risk it all in their daring balloon escape to freedom the story is both harrowing and heartwarming time is not on their side the east german police are closing in and the outcome far from certain until the very end if you are looking for a good entertainment that contains no nudity and limited violence then i highly recommend night crossing it is pure entertainment,positive +the only interesting part of this movie was it's jazz and new orleans back drop it tries to be one of those movies that has two struggles the heroine has to overcome one from the past and one from the present which she fails to do convincingly the bad and the direction is even worse i'm not surprised at all that this went straight to video the end result of this film leaves no one satisfied or convinced including the actors themselves,negative +this film isn't supposed to be funny but it made me laugh br br it isn't designed to be sad but my heart felt heavy through a number of the vignettes br br it isn't written as action adventure but my pulse more than once br br just like life this movie doesn't manipulate your emotions and tell you how to feel it simply is and you react br br if you don't find it funny or sad or moving i suspect that says more about you than the film br br it amazing and refreshing to see a director so celebrate that we are all human and embrace that we are all trapped here doing this life thing over and over for as long as we must br br tomorrow is another day,positive +although this movie and i use the term loosely was made in 1997 we just watched it tonight for the first time my husband commented that a tommy lee jones movie that we'd never heard of made him a little i watched anyway certain that if jones was in the movie it must at least be worth two hours of my time after all he has been one of our go to actors for years although isn't one of my favorite actresses i was additionally by seeing another well known face the list of accomplished actors actresses continued to grow so i endured more and more of this film certain that if i pushed through enough clichés and trite social statements i would arrive on the other side of the plot alas there was no plot it appeared to be burned by the ever of doom br br the characters were paper thin the plot was so chock full of holes that it literally distracted me from most of the special effects and acting in the movie was the for a brief with an science teacher too much for this film's budget no acid rain no toxic like or no deadly ash no skin heat just a few feet from the wow it's the world's ever br br the events were no better than the characters each incident was so contrived and far fetched it's like the writers said okay we need to get rid of the little girl now and she's by a bomb which burns her enough that she has to be carried to safety not from the but from her own helpless but just moments later in the car she is in no apparent pain and soon after is running effortlessly through the building that oh no is about to be blown up after enduring all of this your reward is the line from the little boy at the end about all the people looking the same which has got to be one of the worst movie lines i have ever heard even if it wasn't so painfully scripted it was ridiculous timing for all the characters involved kid and cop aside as if the mother would still be in the area and just needs to be pointed out because she just isn't speaking up what she's hoping to off into the shadows and get away from the little brat once and for all i don't think so obviously the child's mother would be missing or dead or yelling her head off to find her br br the token black tough with a secret soft spot versus the chip on his shoulder narrow minded cracker cop with a secret soft spot scene made my eyes bleed even if such pat characters existed they wouldn't behave as the movie portrays them given the circumstances something about fiery death and massive destruction tends to catch people off guard ya know br br there are too many movie moments like these to mention really it's just an embarrassing movie to watch those poor writers where are they now,negative +brought to you by the following among others br br 1 is the president and of the middle east media research br br career br br colonel israeli army intelligence from 1968 acting head and on arab affairs civil administration in and 1977 1982 br br 2 shore is an israeli canadian film writer producer and employed full time by he is the of the a non profit organization that seeks to advance the idea that the united states faces a threat of radical islam shore is also a regular critic of the media coverage on the israeli palestinian conflict coverage which he is regularly anti israel br br 3 anti league funny how supports this hateful propaganda you can never tell by reading their anti name title br br use your mind and see how objective these people are they have their own agenda br br i think therefore i am,negative +this is a classic b type movie that you'd rather not waste your time and see it started well and i thought it will grow up as a good thriller but i was all movie long you get the feeling that soon something interesting will take place and it will suddenly turn into a thriller but that doesn't happen it runs slowly and the end with nothing interesting in it just the ending was unexpected and original but that's it vote 2 5 out of 10 oh one more thing why is this movie rated r anyway,negative +it's hard to believe that with a cast as strong as this one has that this movie can be such a dud it's such an incredibly horrible film how was it ever made how did so many good actors wind up in such a terrible film don't waste your life don't watch even one moment of this film,negative +oh how the critics fell all over themselves to praise their paul author of taxi driver when this movie came out i never saw the qualities they were when i watched this movie back in the day so i re viewed it to see if i got it wrong is extremely uninteresting this is a movie about an author living working in a culture the flat don't hold your attention because they are emotionally and and the rest of it just sits there being awful with soldiers singing songs about the they themselves to about the admiration of swords etc br br it must be a triumph when you learn you've landed philip glass but then you have to get something out of him glasses score offers not a of distinction from his other work nor does it provide the film any value in it should be clear to anyone that his career on work of no impact or importance cat people light sleeper patty american he can bore you to pieces and kill the momentum of a movie than anyone else has made a resume full of lousy amateurish films,negative +few movies have expectations and upset me as much as fire has the movie is pretentious garbage it does not achieve anything at an artistic level the only thing it managed to receive is a in india if only it was because of the poor quality of film making rather than the controversy the would have been more br br now that i've got my distress out of my system i am more able to the movie br br from the the movie feels unreal especially when the protagonists start in english the director of course did not make the movie for an indian audience however it its international audiences by over it watching the character of the domestic help in perfect english is too unreal to be true br br next we get regular glimpses into dreams these scenes are not very effective they coming up as jarring and the flow of the movie i'm still wondering how that philosophical dialogue connected to the story i felt that the was lost br br the love scenes felt and are probably meant for audience rather than being a powerful statement in any case they do not achieve either of the two br br the names chosen for the women and are names of and hence been selected to shock the audiences however since the film wasn't meant for indian audiences in the first place the shock through name selection is not meant to achieve its goal which is absurd br br the quality of direction is very poor and some key and delicate scenes have been poorly handled a better director could have made a powerful emotional drama out of the subject br br the acting felt wooden although brought some life into the role the others were wasted i always thought that was a good actress but her talent is not evident in this film the male leads were outright rubbish br br in case you are a fan of earth and wish to see more of the director stay away from this one please,negative +i just watched this an early harold lloyd short film that featured his glasses character on dvd of the harold lloyd collection he's actually a con man with as his partner who gets discovered by daniels who herself performs fake what she discovers is that lloyd and many customers by dropping fake rings that are lost i'll stop there and just say this was quite funny especially when harold and enter the place works and encounter some creepy and put on costumes like trying one of outfits not too much slapstick but what there is of was also quite funny so on that note i recommend are crooks,positive +having seen rush live i'm able to appreciate the of this others may complain of sound problems but it's sometimes over dubbed by the overwhelming screams of 60 000 and it goes to show the gain of attention,positive +on paper this looks a good film michael caine plays a tough and ruthless boxing who's son is up for a title the pity is that when the story is transferred from paper to my television screen it loses a certain everything i had hoped we'd be seen his definitive role in get carter and as the film progresses it does seem to take on the qualities of a tough gritty revenge thriller but the whole tone of the film jumps around so much you'll be confused as to what genre it's trying to fit in to for example caine who you can't believe in as billy simpson he's simply michael caine has a laugh out line as he refers to someone as jacques then in a supposedly humorous moment has his henchmen break someone's arm oh how i laughed i mean it's supposed to a laugh the way it plays out on screen isn't it but these seems at odds with the way the rest of the film plays out br br obviously director john doesn't know what approach to take with scott screenplay isn't a bad director and is well regarded for his war films such as the dogs of war and hill but he's ill suited to this type of violent drama and one can't help but feel he might have been somewhat by a living legend like caine caine does give the impression he's just doing it for the money and the well known faces in supporting roles like and are basically just cameos who could be played by anyone,negative +this has to be one of the most awfully scripted films i've ever seen it's basically a remake of the beast from 20 000 1953 but done with your standard snake like puppet monster instead of a ray creation combine the plot of that classic monster movie with the production qualities and acting level of the terror and you have an idea of what this movie is like br br the movie is dubbed although by the original actors i think that the movie was originally dubbed in italian for that countries audiences then for us release which just makes the movie seem weird the sounds like in a japanese monster movie just don't quite match properly to the action on the screen even if the actors' lips are moving properly br br poor ray he's certainly come a long way down from the lost weekend or m for murder or any of the number of excellent movies he was in add this to his other sci fi panic in the year zero x the man with x ray eyes and you can see a once good actor fallen into a boris karloff syndrome stuck doing really bad horror films in foreign countries just for the work,negative +i should know better i've seen too many of rob early work to expect anything good from this movie even if it is about hockey br br here we have yet again another tired sports theme kid has potential for greatness has the apparent to go far if his cocky attitude doesn't screw things up and boom he comes out of it as that player kind of champion is that all that can be said of sports movies surely there must be other that br br nonetheless this movie has got to be one of the biggest everybody's interactions are just downright silly and not in a stupid funny kind of manner and i can't think of any qualities that could my position not the actors certainly not who plays reluctant mentor not the story not the music and very little from the sequences br br normally i'm a sucker for 80s movies even if they do tend to be a little i e north shore the karate kid but this doesn't even make for good 80s trash for a good 80s sports movie check elsewhere there's plenty of them out there,negative +this movie just i know that some people will say that anybody who thinks it is no good just doesn't get it i like in american friend and wings of desire but this is utter dreck the main character is so annoying that i couldn't care less what he does he is as has been said in another review around like a little annoying monkey i just couldn't stand him or force myself to care this is the case with most of the characters who just seem to be trying to hard to be or weird i liked the mel gibson character and the characters and wish they would have focused more on them is of course beautiful pitiful and you really feel for her and what she has been thru and why she is the way she is i see character as almost like i just wish he would have save and the hotel down with all the worthless boring characters that lived in it rating 10 movie rating 0,negative +this movie is exactly the same as scott's someone to watch over me which is a classic it stars tom berenger and rogers and the bad guy from the fugitive it's a quality movie with good direction and great acting this movie is the polar opposite it's the same plot just minus any good acting and adding tv movie direction i do have to say i like the interaction between lowe and the woman she's hot and their romance is believable on many levels unfortunately that alone cannot save this copy of the classic scott film br br usually crappy tv movies have some redeeming quality that makes them watchable at the very least i think for me this film's redeeming value is that rob lowe and the lead female have chemistry that and i was able to watch and compare the plot to another quality film,negative +now this is a real turkey by the overrated director franco who gave us such classics as las yes i think that bad films can be great fun i adore the hilarious of doris and ed wood jr but this one proved to be too much for me it is the first film i rated 1 where should i start the screenplay is idiotic to the the dialogue is unbelievably bad the directing seems to be nonexistent the best music cue used repeatedly in this film was taken directly from the movie der 1964 and it's boring poor shirley and george sanders in one shot sanders reads a comic while his henchman torture a girl this aspect is probably the intellectual highlight of this movie the only thing that me was that franco promptly showed female nudity whenever i thought the movie would gain from it this is real directing skill still i'm afraid that a movie in which actors pretend to shoot with machine guns by shaking them is not really worthwhile,negative +stands out in this movie because of her personal sense of style and the way the clothes hang on her i have learned to hate that little three year old face she makes whenever she pretends to cry it makes any points she is trying to make as a serious actress drop off quickly of course in a movie with a baldwin and denise she still shines as a mature actor person david seemed to be doing woody allen by way of not a single word or gesture in the entire movie seemed sincere or even sincerely acted how harry met sally and two and funeral even in seattle had scripts locations and actors the script seemed to be a string of bad and crude gags separated by a lot of talking the locations seemed to be within a few of each other there are only two actors in this of an indie flick and the lady who played the chick who was into the stars i watched most of this through the first time with the sound off just watching that gag was old the first time i saw it and it's a silly rip off of a song in how to succeed in business without really trying,negative +wow here comes another straight to video scarecrow movie to keep the cinematic happy if the cheap looking opening credits don't tell you you're in for quite a ride then the tragic writing sure will br br a kid gets tied on to a legendary scarecrow as part of his onto the baseball team then the scarecrow goes nuts and starts people need i say more this movie consists greatly of cheap effects that makes it look like it was edited with note that spooky color and actors who apparently weren't good enough to show up on some late night special actually thats not fair as the actors didn't have much room to work around the abysmal script parts of this movie really seem like parody especially when one character picks up his guitar and starts playing the worst song ever conceived by humans with the worst lip ever performed to go along with it the gore here is also a major disappointment in most b movies such as this there is a thick of cheap gore fx to make up for what the story and acting lacks here the stuff is so cheap that it's not even fun this movie actually makes jack frost 2 look like lots of fun in comparison br br if you think this movie is the worst one you've ever seen then you probably haven't gotten deep into the world of straight to video b horror regardless this movie will cause you a great deal of mental anguish no matter what your background,negative +spoilers ahead mel has got it going on from the opening credits to the ending credits this movie has straight laughs dave shows why he is a comedic force cary carries the movie most of the time but the supporting cast fills in strong when the plot is drawn away from robin hood right from the beginning this movie it's self not to be taken seriously if you took a time machine and gave the characters thoughts of modern day antics you would get this movie what makes this movie special you say throughout the movie you see and walk beside each other becoming great friends as robin but it is never told or fails to grasp that he is black until the crowd says a black sheriff he's black that is a timeless scene simple one of the most movies of our time,positive +i attended a screening of fierce people at the 2006 film festival i hesitate to label it a premiere of any sort since it was shot in the spring of 2004 and had its world premiere at in 2005 it played several festivals that year release seemed then it disappeared or so it appeared to the film going public rumors of a theatrical or dvd release have popped up now and then but all proved then this screening was announced perhaps one can call it a re premiere it certainly felt as if i was witness to a buried treasure and what a treasure it was br br i suppose one could fierce people as a coming of age drama but it also has elements of comedy and tragedy as well as mystery and a bit of farce thrown in in short real life that makes it hard to which puts it more into the category of an indie as opposed to a hollywood movie but its high production values big budget feel and star caliber cast seem at odds with the indie label so let's call it a hybrid and perhaps that's why it's been lost it defies br br meet earl anton 15 whose father is absent in fact has never known him but he sees him and hears him via the collection of home movies sent from south america dad is a renowned and has made a name for himself by setting up shop with the the tribe of fierce people who live to kill and well all their activities are built around those two tasks and is captivated by it mom liz diane lane is also somewhat absent although present physically she is lost in a world of cocaine and alcohol so becomes an adult in his little world with his of film br br one summer mom decides to drag along with her into the of new jersey a mom has to a wealthy client c donald sutherland in a tour de force performance and he has invited her for an extended house call at his estate tribe includes an assortment of eccentric rich kids servants and village idiots among whom will find himself part of his own study will his experience with films help him survive life as a visitor to this tribe will he be accepted or will he be seen as an struggling with his own identity as an adolescent such is the stuff of fairy tales and i suppose this would be if not for the dark which director dunne and writer have into this magnificent story br br with anton voice over pieces of home movies must learn to go back to being the teenager he never really had a chance to be stop being the parent to his mom allow newly sober mom to be parent to him and learn responsibility on the way to the way it should have taken place all along yet he needs to make this transformation in a dangerous dark world where playing with fire is to this family br br this is first and foremost a story driven film and dunne as much in the intro to the film he bought the rights to novel even as it was being written and own screenplay comes to life in the hands of the masterful dunne in a way that's a work of wonder br br this is also largely a character driven film and sutherland has never been better his star turn as stunned those around me and will likely leave you amazed as well diane character ultimately so many personalities that it's hard to imagine another actor pulling it off so well she is breathtaking but more than anything fierce people is anton film he has a long resume as a child actor but little as a teen other than the little known house of d also a gem he is best known as on tv's in january he will be seen in dog also sitting on the shelf since 2004 a film i saw at sundance this year and in which he is the heart and soul his performance here goes far beyond what one would expect from someone so young and is nothing short of spectacular br br this complex quirky film has remained out of sight long enough fierce people is a treasure filled with light and shadow comedy and tragedy joy and pathos but mostly wonder,positive +batman returns is more gothic and somber than its predecessor and i like it a lot also the scenery is more darker and the entire environment is along with the soul chilling music composed by the so talented danny br br however i didn't like the idea to make the penguin a monster unlike to the comic books where he's human even if he looks like a monster he shows well that he possesses a human dignity and i felt very sorry for him when he saw the of his late parents but still he was a dangerous villain in fact and he needed to be stopped br br michael keaton made a tour de force with his return as the dark knight and this time he's powerful as in the original batman it's not difficult to understand why he's called batman in public sometimes br br also michelle pfeiffer is so sexy and well in her role and she gave a performance as the female villain dressed as a cat really the actors did all a masterful work with batman returns which made it a successful movie br br if you liked batman watch its awesome sequel cause it's very worthy for all the dark hard core lovers br br steve,positive +usually i have a lot of luck with these small scale movies i looked at the cast how bad could it be unfortunately the answer was pretty bad i have a hard time remembering a movie that had such poor execution of a plot that had potential,negative +i read a few reviews of the movie and got the impression that it was not as good as the previous karate kid although my favorite is still karate kid ii i felt this fourth installment of the movie series was consistent with the others and had some important lessons to share unlike the previous versions the karate student is a female teenager who takes a somewhat different learning path rather than a male teenager finds this a little more challenging but rises to the occasion the plot twists are believable and predictable i found that the bad guys are a little one dimensional but this weakness is present in all the in varying degrees the camera work is impressive and pans across some beautiful scenery from time to time the monastery is both and charming the monks add some humor and to the narrative flow i liked the scenes which are a humorous to the more serious scene earlier on the quality level of the movie is like a good tv series the music chosen for the background is very good especially with the little river band playing listen to your heart the lessons in the movie are valuable and worthwhile to learn they feel faithful to the spirit of karate and take care not to over the fighting part all in all i enjoyed it,positive +the days of your life showcases some of greatest comedy talents of its time in a and upper class like fashion generally it is a stop tour of english behaviour with the girls only school providing a great setting for the goings on margaret and most especially are all fantastic giving us a lot of laughs as they express their utter horror at what they are having to deal with as the film moves on things get and with the tour around the school for the parents being a suitably high point br br at this point i will give special mention again to and her wonderful character miss she is so extraordinarily innocent silly and that she seems to steal the whole film she provides the greatest laugh of the film when she with a male teacher call me br br whilst some of the film is slow or dated and not always very involving it still maintains most of its and barely pauses for romance good for a silly harmless giggle br br 7 10,positive +this is a poorly written and badly directed short film pure and simple what is interesting and keep me watching to some extent was the production values shot on video it appears with a bad script and bad direction one would think it would also have horrible production value that is what the viewer expects when they watch a film that is terrible and shot on video but not in this case they spent some money and it shows it keep me very mildly interested to see what was coming next just to see br br probably the worst short film i have seen that looked big budget hollywood even though it was shot on some sort of video format br br instead of spending the sum of money they must have spent for some rather impressive set design it would have been to see a better executed story with some good direction but then again how can we expect new filmmakers to do this when even hollywood won't,negative +not a bad movie but could have been done without the full frontal nudity of a 10 year old boy in one of the opening scenes this movie has excellent dialog which is certainly common among foreign films foreign actors still know how to act as opposed to american actors who let the cgi stunts and special effects do all the work for them this film is just good old fashion acting did an excellent job as always the costumes and scenery are accurate with the time my only complaint is that they should have dubbed the english words over the french instead of using subtitles this could just be because i hate reading subtitles,positive +somehow i really thought that i was going to enjoy this film because i love pictures with mountain climbing and a great mystery in the plot i must say that the photography was fantastic and there was some scary scenes that captured my attention i thought that nicole diana thank you good night played a very convincing role as a young girl who had a tragic loss in her life and meets up with some characters who want her to guide them up the mountain marc singer angel blade played a very unconvincing weird guy and over acted in many scenes with a bad temper that looked comical this film was a big disappointed and not worth watching unless there is nothing on the tv to enjoy,negative +this is the absolutely worst show in the history of first of all no school has a bar flat screen and gives every student a this makes the show so unrealistic and boring the plots are pointless and incredibly boring the actors are so bad it makes me want to take my own life i really hate the fact that in the show is the most popular girl in school and the and and gets the best without doing any work she never has any real problems and every guy wants to date her she is so perfect there isn't anyone like that also i hate that everyone would do anything for her and everyone picks her for every team or club it is so annoying quinn is so obnoxious her experiments are pathetic pointless and fake chase is such a he says he loves but if he told her it would ruin their friendship how pathetic michael tries to be funny but he never anything is so and screams a lot she is never seen doing any work or studying but she is a straight a student lola thinks she is an actress but she sucks excuse my language need i say more i think no for your own good stay away from this show at all costs,negative +this one features an interesting way of handling a camera br br for a movie the version i saw was full screen br br but it falls short on the scenario department first you get br br around of talk talk talk in a would be hip post way then it's slasher city and then comes br br the most cheat ending i've seen much worse than br br april day where at least it made sense so all in br br all it's the old song and dance interesting director tries br br hard but deserves better movie funny usually it is the actors which are in desperate need of br br something skip it anyway for your time,negative +takes place in a small japanese rural town where people are going mad they go nuts over and the crisis is getting worse because people are turning into and appear everywhere has to be one of the most bizarre and original horror movies i have seen the plot is really clever and the gore scenes are really funny as the film doesn't takes itself too seriously is wonderfully photographed and the use of colors is top notch the characters are likeable and there is enough shocking surprises to satisfy fans of japanese horror despite of some hilarious scenes the overall tone of this film is pretty dark is not as good as on or audition but if you like japanese horror movies you won't be disappointed 7 out of 10,positive +i saw this film on tv in the uk some 25 years ago and it has with me ever since my interest has recently been by visiting hilton head the next island over from actually and reading pat excellent the water is wide with the benefit of knowledge i have and consider it a masterpiece jon voight captures the spirit of and the atmosphere of the film brings the book to life with some accuracy a hollywood br br three things still strike me about this tale 1 the issues of the poor and and being remain the same 2 education is about more than reading and writing 3 these kids were my peers i was 6 in 1969 when pat spent his year on br br why this has not made it on to dvd yet,positive +dark is about a group of friends that go to a farm it belongs to one of the friends relatives or something for a but there are killer scarecrows lurking there there was something about a curse in there too but i forgot what that was about br br the acting in this movie is awful i don't know what the director was thinking when he was casting actors and actresses the script is the same story as the acting awful this statement coming up is very obvious but if there was better acting and a better script this could have turned out okay br br the directing too i see no potential in this guy's future after all these this movie still maintains a fun factor that it up to a two the last plus is they don't use cgi my overall thoughts on this film are it's bad real bad but so bad it's fun so it gets a 2 10,negative +i enjoyed the beautiful scenery in this movie the first time i saw it when i was 9 is kind of cute for in a corny way it reminded me of on sat its swedish backdrops make it easy on the eyes don't expect older kids to be interested as the live action animation is way behind the times and most older kids will get bored this is definitely an under 10 age set movie and a nice bit of memories for those of us who were little kids in 1974,negative +my friend and i rented this movie for 3 99 at blockbuster if i'd have known how absolutely horrible this movie was going to be i wouldn't have paid a i had no warning for this the acting can't even be called acting the inevitable sex scene is awkward and you can tell that both girls feel completely uncomfortable doing it and the male villain god who couldn't tell he was going to attack emily and the musical my lord this movie makes me want to cry never rent this in fact if you happen to look upon it out your this movie isn't of god it's from hell i'm just gonna take the last couple lines to write blah blah blah cause i really don't want to continue on with this review,negative +a lovely played by playboy model falls asleep and dreams herself into a strange world filled with extremely these people love to sing and dance and fool alice has a series of sensual adventures among these br br the film was originally shot as a poem to with few explicit sex scenes which were eventually cut from its theatrical versions however have had some of the original erotic encounters joined at the end with br br for an extremely low budget picture the producers of this film did an extremely good the cinematography is full of life and energy the dances and numbers quite professional and the acting without a doubt it is one of the best adult fairy tales,positive +this film was not about stereotypes nor dance moves nor pickup lines really this film was about the vulnerability of hearts it was hard to believe that kevin james could play in a convincing role that will smith could satisfy without action and that such a hackneyed genre of film could succeed in such a way i don't intend to sound overly with this film it wasn't groundbreaking in any sort of way but it was a film worth seeing was it believable no new york couldn't be so simple and there has been no human being in the history of mankind that has the of sure there are bar but not ones that can get any chick at any time those in seven figures of course the thing that worked best for this film was its true focus on the dramatic side of things not just on the comedy it was a funny two hours no doubt but it was also two hours that made you sit in your seat become immersed in the characters and smile,positive +for those who still prefer films focusing on human relationships street is a must see br br by training the spotlight on his own family block covers that is off limits for most filmmakers he explores a common but often family dynamic and does so without to or in fact the film is low key at the outset br br in addition to providing a look at one family and by every family block has also a very specific period in recent history i don't know if this was intentional but due to content br br highly recommended,positive +i've been waiting almost 25 years to see this hard to find horror thriller and i finally did since it's proper on dvd of course it didn't have the same impact on me as it would have if i had seen in it the 80s but director his film is excellent makes good use of the lovely location and takes the time to develop the characters not just to have them in creative ways a high note brad music is really creepy and adds to the desolate proceedings making this great fun for genre fans a must see if you like underrated horror films to describe it would be an intelligent friday the 13th with some tasty bits of deliverance with that aside there are some really cool original moments like my favorite when a couple are swimming in a lake and the guy disappears underwater to play a trick on his gal just when you think it's the usual scare she suddenly looks to shore and i honestly can't spoil it you just have to watch it for yourself also the ending is just one of those that you just have to see to believe – it came out of nowhere and it's weird wild the dvd includes commentary by,positive +in watching this off and on for a few seasons two things come to mind one wondering what kind of girl wants to be a model and two run to the nearest ice cream store and have a low fat br br i tried to be a fan because i liked the idea of this reality show competition no other famous model thought of this and it is very admirable for banks to do so but as the series goes on and on i've come to the conclusion that this is a sorry lot of folks trying to make a mountain out of a women shouldn't watch this teens should stay clear of it unless they're doing book reports on the subject br br many women try out for to compete for next top model they live together cat fight together cry together get put through pointless shoots with pointless people and and get eliminated and almost all of them claim you will see me again heck i'm trying to see what happened to the ones that did win actually br br this is the dream of some girls and good for them in watching this i hope the other girls that see this and run like the other way like to college br br i just happened to watch more of this recent season because of the of full figured models joining the group that even made me think more of this as a sorry lot of folks the full figured models were no more than average sized ladies competing with what i think is the group of models they ever chose so of course that would make them look even a use all the time bad bad and crew br br but to be fair next top model is not about full figured models it's about an imagined image a beauty that can be mass and sold as the ultimate in beauty and this show is just looking for the next fresh piece of meat to add to the mix hence the name of the show hence the sorry lot of judges hence and her consistent this was me every camera angle you can get but then again that is the one thing i like about this show the ex model giving others who wouldn't have the chance a chance to enter the doors but after that everything else is status for that industry which is why there are no surprises or week to week interest in the program,negative +detective dave is trying to link the murder of a local hooker to new orleans mobster julie but during his investigation is led into a series of surreal encounters with a of soldiers what a awful plot and it was than i had expected it was real slow and had minimal skill in the acting i could not watch through it it was waste of my time another flop i would give it under 1 if i could please people don't waste your time its 1 of full time actor sykes and his girlfriend driving under the influence as dave takes to the station the actor tells dave he found some remains while on the set of a movie he is filming,negative +being a self slasher addict means that it's very rare that i get the chance to review many bigger budgeted movies with casts aside from james successful box office draw identity there have not been any big name entries since the scream trilogy once again put wes craven's name back on the hollywood map that's why mark the last stop – a mystery thriller with blatant slasher overtones instantly intrigued me with a decent line up including adam beach and and an intriguing soundtrack that even finds space for rose garden i must admit that the initial signs were very positive for this claustrophobic feature to the best of my knowledge there have only ever been three other snow bound slashers unless of course you consider demon possessed to fit in the category the first slice and on the ice was the bone dry blade then came the lisa cheese feast that was of blood and the enjoyable followed some years later br br during an extreme state jason adam beach battles through the snow to reach a remote in the mountains his task is to inform the guests that the road is closed and they must stay for at least one more night until a path can be through the conditions this news doesn't go down to well with the suspicious bunch which includes two brothers keith and peter a truck driver that really doesn't want to hang around william s taylor a randy couple of lovers winston and amy and ex girlfriend nancy rose the motel owners and p johnson aren't by the news either but they offer rooms to the stranded guests and attempt to calm the tense situation things take a turn for the worse when jason finds a body and a bag full of stolen cash lying in the snow behind the just like a chapter out of an agatha christie mystery the begin at the hands of a masked that seems intent to re claim the money with so many dodgy characters to choose from and no way of leaving the crime scene jason has to attempt to stop the maniac before he kills br br a good mystery needs at least a handful of shady suspects who each have a credible motive a remote location that no one can escape from and a smart protagonist to help unravel the clues fortunately the last stop provides each of those essential ingredients in a thriller that has its equal moments of brilliance and downright stupidity the film kicks off superbly as the dubious personalities clash in a claustrophobic environment that manages to keep the tension running high throughout the runtime malone keeps the interest levels raised as each character their own reasons to attract some of the suspicion and to be fair the essential twist isn't one that you'll guess easily in fact i found myself watching the movie through once again to see if i could pick up on any hints that i missed first time around unfortunately when the maniac is revealed to be an over the top psycho that like a comic book bad guy the last stop a huge amount of credibility thankfully all is not lost when an unexpected and brilliantly plot twist the film's finale br br similarities can be drawn with the excellent identity as the two plots are almost james effort has to be the better of the two mainly because of the star billing of john cusack and the ever reliable ray liotta with that said though adam beach does a good enough job in the lead while amy and the brilliant keith add some credible support rose acts as in this role as she probably does from day to day in reality and winston started fantastically before going completely overboard with the film's climax if you're a die hard slasher fan that's watching this for some bloody killings then you're going to be disappointed the wearing psychopath only pops up once and the rest of the murders are committed off screen but as i said earlier directorial talent means that the suspense is never too far off the and you can forgive the few flaws because the just about triumph br br the last stop is well worth a look for slasher and movie fans alike yes there are a handful of but overall this is a solid example of hollywood talents if you liked identity then certainly give this a,positive +this is another classic seagal movie he walks no through the just all the other mega seagal movies nothing even comes close to challenging seagal in this movie except maybe the part where he has to find a cure for this so called and he starts throwing things about the lab but it all works out i mean lets face it its master seagal he's got to win what about his outfit in the film masterpiece he must have picked it himself its great that everyone in the film is dying after being exposed to the virus but seagal doesn't even get a the incident at the end when he kills the fat guy with the broken glass genius i bet seagal thought of that one as well this film is class pure and simple great plot great characters and seagal,positive +this is your typical junk comedy br br there are almost no laughs no genuine moments no memorable lines no scenes where you think to yourself that was clever nothing the plot is embarrassingly bad br br it's ugly to look at and boring as hell there is no substance here this movie has nothing it doesn't matter if was in this or not a crap movie is a crap movie no matter who's involved br br also david spade is a terribly unfunny comedian who plays the same lousy character in ever movie tv show that he's in br br this movie was dead on arrival there is no life here no fun no intelligence there are plenty of other dumb comedies more enjoyable that this one this film is just pathetic br br 2 10,negative +someone else called this film a fable horror movie and i think that fits pretty well that's the concept at least a group of teenagers each with their own vice catch the eye of a twisted barker he decides to teach the teens a lesson by making them part of the freak show a cool idea but could have been executed better the fate for some of the teens is shoved in your face too obviously while other characters could have been fleshed out more also the ending was a serious let down no resolution or big twist or anything br br but as a low budget horror movie it's pretty fun to watch if you're into cheesy you should have a laugh watching this one i think one of it's faults though that it takes itself too seriously it's a silly movie and if it was a little more self aware when it comes to that i think it would have been better but at least there's enough neat carnival themes and b movie monster makeup to keep you watching,negative +i just caught farewell to the king on cable and maybe it's just because i'm a girl but i thought this was on the side the script and direction are pretentious once i found out john was responsible it all became clear the supporting actors actually weren't bad james fox was outstanding the biggest disappointment was nick nolte who i usually enjoy once he goes native he starts speaking a very stiff stilted english and half the time he seems kind of distracted as if he'd just some of the bounty of rain forest and then the end what the just happens to be on the same boat as the by the way had the dumped the girlfriend or what the boat just happens to run conveniently close to an island by a crazy ex army,negative +'a comedy of biblical proportions ' those masters of the movie tag line writers at it again the sequel to bruce almighty raises barely a chuckle the only thing which raises my interest in this movie above total indifference is its christian undertones sorry make that overtones br br steve ignoring jim good sense to decline a role plays the smug news anchor from bruce almighty who has just been elected to with a new life in virginia and the stress of moving into a house the size of the the pressure of all the change takes its on his family his wife lauren graham

br in what must be the greatest shock of all time god morgan freeman actually shows up but does the whole in mysterious thing all over the place by telling to build a esquire in for a great instead of just giving him a pool table or and x box or something and in true mischievous style he also forces to grow a beard long hair and wear worn and now back in the day i'm sure were hard to come by so the beard was somewhat of an for but i'm almost certain it had nothing to do with same with the a massive construction job is surely made all the more difficult by such clothing couldn't god have up a pair of steel boots and a hard hat for the poor guy apparently not br br to bill i find the idea that god is messing with us somewhat unsettling and so does who fights him every step of the way and who wouldn't god essentially gets him fired drives away his loved ones makes him a laughing stock and at one point actually threatens him of course god turns out to be right and the rational hard working family man who was getting on fine by himself is forced to eat a large slice of bittersweet humble pie it's almost as if to be left alone by god had to tolerate and humour him what kind of message is that br br almighty does have a highly commendable with the underlying theme being that the federal government is blind to the damage being done to the world around us it is also the first film ever to its and this should surely be considered a landmark achievement by a hollywood studio were it not for the trite condescending of american christianity flying high above it almighty could have been an family movie with a record but with its confused religious dogma and relentless message it ranks as one of the most movies of all time,negative +like the above poster i got burned on the title thinking i was getting the other this movie is everything the above poster said and worse br br poor camera lousy acting and just plain horrid storyline br br there was very little here that was even worth watching how this movie even got released is beyond me br br make sure the movie you buy is the one you want and not this one br br the movie i bought was labeled and not which is what it actually is this is the only way they sold this movie at all br br peace out,negative +the film gate was a good view although still tedious at over 4 hours but the film took great license as usual with hollywood james chris and were actually married in real life their main contribution to the johnson county war was to start it by being well by starting it i mean it came at the beginning not the end here's the real scenario james and ellen watson were secretly married because one could be given to each family by as single individuals they could get two they chose on crazy woman creek actually controlling the water above the land held by a powerful member of the association he offered to buy them out repeatedly which they refused br br although in real life as the owner of a cattle kate and a prostitute herself and also in the film there is no real evidence that was true it is known that she bought many head of sick cattle them back to life and was later accused by the association of receiving the cattle in trade for in the end she was accused of an act almost certainly untrue so much for this part of the myth of the american west which is a de of a time period of about one hundred years br br in real life she and jim were surprised one day by several members of the association taken in hand and promptly those the injustice were never brought to trial but that was the first link that led to the murder of champion and the start of the johnson county war br br quite different from the hollywood version which shows her shot at the end br br other than that i think the main problem with the film was the editor who could have made the action a faster pace by more editing,negative +as embarrassing as it is to admit i was listed as production manager on this film my very first as a matter of fact it was the first feature film for almost everyone who watch carefully and you even get to see me in one of the opening scenes as a soon to be murdered asylum attendant named my own last name br br originally titled this picture was changed to another son of sam by the producer director who wanted to cash in on the serial killer in the news at the time nothing could have helped i don't even think this picture was good enough to be shown on br br the film was shot primarily with a collection of old mitchell cameras and early hand held cameras matter of fact the shot of the helicopter during the hostage siege was filmed with my own wwii era the picture was filmed entirely in charlotte and north in the mid seventies most of the stars were local tv and the rest of the crew were just inexperienced enough or enough to believe former and producer director dave a of br br if you enjoy watching this kind of picture you might love the work of another north the legendary earl br br,negative +unfortunately this movie is absolutely terrible it's not even laughably bad just plain bad the actors do their best with what is the script ever how scary can a movie be when the climax actually involves a of millions of,negative +first a warning to marry a comes by an apparently random five minute performance of a gershwin piece treated with the full and ceremony of well gershwin sitting through it takes some patience if you have the dvd rest assured you can skip forward you won't miss anything br br the film itself is one of the of 50's hollywood a movie so by major star power en scene and perfect high concept that failure seems the title alone is perfect generation after generation however are forced to ask themselves how is this so limp the script is an about the neck a dead thing that everything and everyone before they can really spark to life there are no comic situations just isolated moments that play for laughs whenever an actual comedy scene threatens to develop the movie quickly moves on to other less interesting things a case in point the scene where the three leading ladies each bring a date to the same fancy restaurant one of them short refuses to wear her out of vanity one of the dates is married a classic hollywood farce set up surely complete with mistaken identity angry wife and probably a pie in the face for somebody well no instead we cut between the three dates as the ladies react to things their partners say hit the punchline and cut to the next limp joke if in doubt have marilyn walk into a wall where's billy wilder when you need him br br the three stars are almost a perfect of the life cycle of the classic hollywood screen this was one of marilyn films and the camera just eats her up even though the script gives her nothing to do she's so she almost seems newly lauren bacall on the other hand had been a major star for nearly a full decade and she knows how to dominate the screen even when in frame with monroe she gets the only thing passing for a real role and delivers the few good lines with a cynical snap given the right material she could have brought this thing to life she's a curiously actress when she lies about her age in the film and claims to be forty it isn't instantly ridiculous and far less than her co stars giving her a convincing authority betty was far from and had a good eight years on her co stars putting her near the end of her hollywood career there's an air of desperation about her at times stranded on screen with nothing but a smile and a few of comic timing unable to play her real age but no one as a contemporary of this new generation of actresses relying on the same old that had served her throughout her career for marilyn seeing the two in this movie helps to throw subtlety and yes intelligence into sharp relief she's also with the dead wood in terms of male co stars although all of the men even the great william powell are guilty of lazy performances she's unable to strike any comic sparks off them better to have given her role to the under monroe who could be funny all by herself and left with the repetitive mr routine br br that the movie is as enjoyable as it is can be put down to the hollywood production the sort that even the likes of the light of the watchable but somewhere buried beneath the jokes and lies the rough outline of a sharp cynical comedy about the business of marriage that bacall could have made sing and new generations of movie viewers will sit down with to marry a in expectation of that movie ready to be disappointed all over again,negative +the third film in a cycle of brilliant exploitation movies and the third masterpiece in a row aka female prisoner beast stable aka of the beast where i live of 1973 is a film that from its predecessors in some aspects but that equals or arguably even surpasses them in brilliance the entire original series with the wonderful stands out as the absolute highlight in cinema and all of the films especially the first three uniquely combine exploitation and art house cinema like no other movie does beast stable is the third and second to last film with the last one to be directed by genius director and in my opinion the greatest of them all the first film of 1972 is an absolute masterpiece of exploitation cinema and simply the definition of exploitation art in the equally brilliant first sequel added more and symbolism the third film beast stable keeps up the not quite to the same extent as the second and features even more social criticism than its predecessors topics like poverty forced prostitution and the exploitation of the poor are central themes of the movie br br this third film is ingenious and sublime in all aspects and arguably the greatest of the generally brilliant cycle to me it's this one with the first one as a close second once again best stable is both very artistic and very exploitation like the visually stunning film features an enormous amount of brutal violence and sleaze again as well as sequences of enormous beauty the stunningly beautiful is once again brilliant in her role of aka i absolutely worship this wonderful actress and i'm sure i'm not the only one to do so the rest of the performances are also great especially is great as a police inspector who is obsessed with catching the musical score is the same throughout all three films with sung by herself as the main theme which is great since the score is simply put pure perfection as its predecessors beast stable is an absolutely brilliant masterpiece of exploitation art that no serious lover of film can afford to miss the entire cycle high on my personal all time favorite list beast stable is arguably the most brilliant masterpiece of them all 10 10,positive +che is a bad movie and deserves it reputation as an unintentionally funny film it takes a serious subject and presents it like the cliff notes version or classic comics because there isn't much emotion or a proper narrative just episodic segments together with mostly stupid true stories by a variety of br br this is a deservedly film as it is poorly written and acted however what i have found most interesting about the film is its apparent gay subtext instead of che and castro working towards a communist cuba they seem to be more of a gay couple with che behaving and and as the again and again the film with great lines such as when che cuba needs you i need you i am not sure if the studio intended this homosexual but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to recognize it i am very surprised that the other reviewers didn't point this out however if you remember this when you watch the film it makes viewing much more exciting and even funnier br br a final note in recent years che has been very even a fashion statement with of brain dead teens who have no idea who he was wearing shirts with his face considering he was a cold blooded killer and an odd combination for a doctor this new for the man is gross what will they do next put hitler or dr on t shirts and posters even with should be appalled by the bloodshed guevara was responsible for and i find it ironic that people with computers are a man who might likely have killed them given half a chance br br considering how stupid and unintentionally funny this movie was it does nothing to further the message that guevara was no hero i would love to see a realistic film done of his life with the good and the bad but also with dialog and a plot that weren't apparently created by,negative +i can't knock this film too terribly because it's obvious through the the watching of it that they were trying to make it bad or if you prefer anyway many of the parts they tried to make funny actually are but often simply for the cheese factor watch the game actually played as real life scratch your head at the bumbling robots oh the and watch the whole thing go way over the top near the end with the and the sexual just keep on flying i'm actually surprised this got away with a pg oh well a fun way to waste a couple hours but star wars trek this ain't folks 3 out of 10,negative +thank god i didn't buy this movie myself i borrowed it from a friend who bought it out of sheer curiosity and of course after viewing it feel they should be this has got to be one of the worse movies i've ever seen i do realize they couldn't have had much of a budget but i swear i could make a better movie than this staring my pets the acting was horrible so was the editing the dialogue everything it was so bad that it was seriously making me angry as i watched it i'm looking forward to the real movie about this story coming out soon so that people curious about it don't have to to watch this joke,negative +austin otherwise known as is the world's second highest mountain and if the evidence presented in this film is to be believed is the hardest mountain to climb successfully without getting yourself killed is basically a buddy flick set in the dangerous world of while the photography takes in some truly awesome scenery the characters standing in front of all those glorious landscapes are a crashing bore and lies the fault with the whole film br br lawyer taylor brooks michael and his quiet married friend harold matt craven spend their free time rock climbing during one of their they meet up with another bunch of by wealthy mountain philip raymond j barry team are in training for a shot at the infamous a mountain that taylor and harold would both love to tackle but could never afford to do so during their training run however two of team get themselves killed in an taylor and harold put themselves forward as potential despite initial gives them the nod of and the pair find themselves joining his team in the wife cindy julia soul is that her husband is going to take on such a dangerous climb especially since he has recently become a father tensions in the climbing team as taylor repeatedly with another member of the group the equally and arrogant dallas meanwhile himself grows increasingly ill as sickness takes its on his body will the guys reach the peak of or is their quest destined to end in disappointment or even death br br spends an long time introducing its somewhat characters as a foul mouthed adventurous type is especially hard to like as is barry as the hard millionaire but on the other side of the craven is so dull that it becomes difficult to believe his wife could possibly give a damn about him going off to climb heck she'd be better off if he never came back off the main characters is whose characterisation as dallas is as campy and over the top as every other role he's ever played the story itself is totally tame and – just a straightforward yarn about guys trying to reach the top of a mountain there's a bit of male bonding thrown in but the whole subplot about harold and his wife amounts to and the personality between taylor and dallas ring totally false scores its few merits solely from the stunning cinematography by gabriel – during the sequences the scale and awe of the mountains is quite nicely captured i'm completely with critic kim newman on this one who hilariously stated in empire magazine on this evidence climbing can't be any harder than sitting through it quite true kim quite true,negative +at least for me i have been following the career of mr since the beginning and i was not crazy about this film i think penelope was miscast the type of woman she is portraying does not look that good she makes the character unbelievable also the singing scene was just weird i do not get the point and the lip sync was awful br br as another thing that drove me nuts are the accents why people coming from the same place have such a different accent the difference between the two sisters is notable and makes no sense and the village are we in 2007 or 1950 i found myself trying to explain to my american husband that many of the things in the movie are old school things are not like that anymore br br i was expecting more but this time mr did not deliver at least for me i am not saying that miss does a bad job i am saying that she does not belong there not portraying that character,negative +i caught this during a brief run in a philadelphia theater despite its local and its relation to a hometown tragedy namely the beating death of eddie in 1994 i really have to come down hard on this movie the director for reasons best known to himself decided to shoot the entire film style with cameras and cuts such technique might work for the scenes of jarring violence but is utterly inappropriate for the rest of the material which makes up the majority of the film a down the sidewalk a brother to brother discussion on a hell even a kiss on a first date are all shot style distracting this viewer from ever being able to enter into the drama martin also his narrative by in far too many topics besides the birth of mob violence we get alcoholism divorce racism abuse did i miss anything no doubt a better cast and a better focused direction would have these threads together as martin surely intended to demonstrate how one moral flaw leads into and a host of others but good intentions do not necessarily a great film make just a mess martin i know you're from my town and i'm down with you man i really am just do a better job next time like you did in two plus one,negative +comment that ms ultra dance in this film is the most erotic in the history of films is certainly one of an exaggeration it isn't even debra most erotic dance her near nude in fritz the indian tomb make this number look decidedly tame as for being the most erotic in the history of dance well where do i start performance as in from to dawn 1996 jamie lee curtis in true lies 1994 jessica alba in sin city 2005 rose in terror planet 2007 sheila in dancing at the blue 2000 blah blah blah br br don't get me wrong i love the sequence and have included it in my dance series on youtube i just think that making a claim like most erotic in the history of film is really going out on a very fragile,positive +mario van tries to go the jean claude van damme route and play a robotic soldier who goes to himself however the government isn't going to take this lying down so among the simplistic plot van villagers from the rebel forces and a improved version of himself in this disappointing film this blatant rip off of universal soldier which is far more fun then this simply goes nowhere the main problem is that the movie is so unbelievably van just waits around and there just isn't enough ass kicking to justify a viewing on the other hand the movie does sort of resemble a competent version of r o t o r although where as that abysmal bad movie was hilarious this one only occasional laughter in its laughably unconvincing action sequences also like r o t o r it makes no sense in its narrative and basically the movie is boring plus the villains are weak and basically the movie needs an actual action scenario to work because the material is too dull in all regards solo is a very weak film br br 1 2 out of 4 poor,negative +georges film is quiet an example of the french transition cinema a film between the realism of the cinema and the full of magic and symbolism vague with some spots of the american classic films but not imitating it the director tales us a story about love crime and the importance of points of view we can find great actors too is impeccable br br is interesting too how we can find aspects of this film nowadays des inheritance is in woody allen tradition a crime situation in a environment the naive ending is also typical in steven spielberg's good ending films and finally i would like to point out the sensation during the photography session between jenny and in which the first one confess that she thinks her husband is being and exactly with the woman who is her that scene is exactly the one between natalie portman and julia roberts in closer mike 2004,positive +on my continuing quest to find the worst movie of all time my friends and i stumbled upon this little gem it is hilarious through and through especially if you don't know like we didn't that it's a semi sequel to another horror series br br i won't bother going into the plot except to mention that everyone complains about the horrible that was coming it was equivalent to the characters just screaming at the camera and waving their arms and in some odd twist of fate the snow storm ever occurs budget problems i guess br br add that to a magical front door that is opened or closed depending on what scare effect the director wants to create and the electricity being cut off until the gym teacher decides to take a shower with lots of soap i'll admit it i had trouble breathing at points br br the only actual decent part of this movie as it turns out was from the original party massacre movie it's so much funnier now that i know that br br spoiler the end where it is revealed that the slasher did it because her drunk friends stumbled in on her and a female friend making out and then the friend driving into a train or something is probably the funniest psycho killer origin ever by the fabulous use of and stock footage i'm glad all of the friends forgot the incident completely until a flashback was necessary br br run don't walk to pick this up and see the hilarity of course the continuity editor should be given an award for all of this if only they weren't stuck in that horrible snow storm,negative +piece of junk would've given it a 0 if i could have animation is good but not quite good enough storyline is absolutely the most ridiculous i've ever come across and that's saying a lot this tried so hard to be interesting but failed miserably it's almost as if the writer started one story then got another idea and attempted to the two together don't waste your time on this believe me you'll be as off with yourself as i was the only actor of any note in this was james woods and his part was at best i'm all for doing stuff that is edgy that pushes the but this simply didn't cut it,negative +what a total of this was you've got to be kidding people any positive reviews of this movie are plants or from the movie makers themselves disgusting movie not gross but just plain awful,negative +i really enjoyed the this movie had less violence and was based on a real life threat that could inevitably destroy our civilization one line in the movie from wesley seagal stuck out in my mind to be very true of our society western medicine is in the practice of illness and i am in the business of it br br,positive +oh boy it was just a dream what a great idea mr lynch is very lucky most people try to tell classical stories this way he can play with his little and his even more little check out the for far more intelligent mix of fantasy and reality,negative +i was pleasantly surprised by the depth of story and character development fulci was a master at creating horrific atmosphere using inventive camera work vivid cinematography and yes wonderfully explicit gore br br this film is no exception however compared to his later films the beyond zombie 2 city of the living dead house by the cemetery etc the characters here are extremely well developed and the emphasis away from the supernatural and is more on the suspense created by a classic who amongst the lush hills of italy the scenery is at moments reminiscent of and then immediately by mud and blood terror by ruins the gore in this film is not quite as prevalent and seems restrained compared to later films however splatter and giallo fans will most likely be by a few close ups of wounds and the last 5 minutes of the film br br overall a fantastic and mature film from one of our great italian horror directors,positive +the opening was a steal from eight freaks a film that is everything this one isn't stilted and pedestrian are the words that apply along with others that can't be repeated drifter type returns to his home town meets up with old friends etc the usual annoying kid single mother local and so on bad special effects alien ship atmospheric hey didn't the director see close encounters good acting good story good camera angles good cutting not here do not rent unless you are sharing the cost and have a lot of beer handy do not watch on tv go and drink a lot of beer instead you'll enjoy it more,negative +i jumped for joy to learn this show ended this show's characters were extremely irritating none of them had one singing redeeming quality damon wayans is probably the most one campbell is campbell she's just as annoying as she was in martin br br the kids are all very annoying as well the oldest is an idiot the oldest girl is a stuck up brat and the youngest is frustrating to listen to br br i guess i did like the intelligent little boy but that's about it br br it did the world a favor by ending br br let's pray that a never stars in another show ever,negative +i am rating this an 8 because of the premise of the film the acting was fine there wasn't anyone that stood out as amazing or appalling it is true that intelligent people are having less and less children or choose to have none at all whereas dumb ass w in supporters are like and though i don't believe the earth will actually exist in 500 years i can see mike prophet coming to be as life imitating art the world is being run by idiots and it will get worse as the intelligent free thinking people become the minority and the done fans them the proof is our farce of an election br br but i if you are fortunate enough to have this playing in your city go see it i have paid my 7 50 plus popcorn to see far worse rubbish than this date movie or dynamite anyone there are laughs there are but overall this is entertaining if you have half a brain you will think to yourself how this movie though funny is spot on accurate and a tiny bit uncanny i'm not surprised at all that this movie is almost completely unknown as fox was the one this and they wouldn't want any of their sheep to see this and think maybe i will read a book and not watch or or my if our society doesn't stop the down of everything and the of the english language mr bush then this really is where we are going,positive +this movie is about amanda and her quest to beat her school boys team after they kicked the girls team out so she goes to the rival school and joins the boys team in doing so she falls for duke who thinks a guy and likes olivia laura who likes as a her brother br br i was in a version of the night play and the beginning was very modern so i knew the play well i was very about seeing this movie and when i saw it it my expectations it kept a lot of my favorite lines and i could see big connections to the play though it was like the play it was not as complicated it was also more of a chick flick than i expected but it was good it was very funny it pulls you into a whole bunch of crazy love stories and lies you saw how amanda thought wrongly about what guys thought and her complications in living in a guys world you also see her room mate impression of this i really liked seeing the characters being portrayed in a modern way it also tells the modern theme follow your dreams but this time it has a twist i think this movie was a great movie about a girl who loved soccer and stuck up for herself and her family and her dreams i think this movie will be the big break for many raising stars,positive +it's really just terrible quaid overacts more than shatner the part where elvis walks in and says you can have it all just kills anything that might have been good in this movie that's bad enough as it is drug use was completely snow the only thing that had anything to do with his life was the bit about him wedding his cousin quaid also looks nothing like lewis and has dark roots and i wish this could be re made in the future with someone who doesn't try so hard a bigger budget wouldn't hurt and maybe more about his actual life i was very very disappointed in quaid don't watch this movie or you will be too,negative +the a detective story is very well planned and has a great storyline to go with it carrie anne moss plays in this animated cartoon i really like the ideas created by the director,positive +absolutely inane film starring and even our young children would become increasingly annoyed with this complete mess of a film br br as what a look he had on his face sure he had to be part of this dreadful film br br did anyone notice that mother in the film sounded and looked like fay luckily for ms that she wasn't in the film br br there is really no excitement hear for children the jokes if any are quite stale some of the singing is nicely done but the lyrics are ridiculous,negative +i spent three months living in the east end of london in the latter half of 1987 when the show had been on the air for almost two years it was considered a running joke there br br why because it had an all white cast every cast member and extra in the first couple of years was white br br the street where i lived was a long one with over houses and to the best of my knowledge i was one of only three or four white faces living on that street we were on the corner of the indian and turkish quarters and even if you those two races the and the white people twenty to one plus of course of the very few white people who did live in the area the vast majority were like me a cockney accent was never heard br br that wasn't a racist rant just a simple statement of fact the bbc either couldn't be bothered crossing london to do their research before writing this soap or else they only had white actors available and decided to it out br br either way as i say in the east end of the time we considered it a comedy show,negative +this is a great installment in the child's play series it brought back some bang to the series great comedy boy this movie is funny also there are awesome to other horror beautiful cinematography great ending bring on seed of,positive +i agree with jessica this movie is pretty bad i'm surprised anyone took it seriously characters are one dimensional even the good guys and especially the bad guys the only merit here is that it's so lame it's funny actually for me there is the added benefit that it was shot in a state park not far from where i live so seeing some local sights on the big screen is a hoot br br the lead character is a off duty cop and makes a big point of a good guy that vigilante justice is not just a bad idea it's against the law imagine how long that lasts br br most of the movie's northern california characters are blown hollywood cheese balls looking like they've never actually been in a fight the story line is totally predictable this film is for a camp value only i'm pretty of films in general but seeing the old positive reviews i had to speak up this is a dog i give it a 3 out of 10 and then only for laughs,negative +having in the industry as a model i watch this show with a slightly different view than most might while i admit can be a fun and entertaining show as the seasons go on it seems to continue to drift from any reality br br the show seems to be almost pure publicity for its contestants seeing that none of the show's winners or fellow contestants have made much of a name for themselves out from under of the show's maybe that's because the truth is any girl with real potential to be a high fashion model shouldn't have too much difficulty to you can do so via email or mail if distance you from attending an agency open call to an agency and starting a career yes the process does not guarantee success but apparently neither does and in a reality show seems to offer less of a boost in the business than to a top or decent agency which only one contestant each cycle has a guarantee of anyway br br nonetheless the show can't hurt certainly can be amusing and has a sort of magic that particularly works for teenage girls i have found though i must add may become a tad and dull after watching several as it has become for me and besides some unrealistic situations each more outrageous than the last the only other annoyance is the of seems to genuinely want to guide these girls to success but is it necessary for each of temporary to be covered in pictures for virtually every and challenge to include a story or scenario that experienced and i think not br br in my opinion take out a little put back in a little more reality and could be a 10 star show instead of a 7,positive +i have to admit that i absolutely loved this movie of course as i'm sure you know that in the middle star frankie and the ever so sweet amanda the amanda show starred in this children's comedy as two friends that i'm sure that we can all re late to the movie is about a boy jason shepard frankie and his friend amanda going onto an adventure in hollywood br br spoilers ahead br br as it begins jason is a typical 14 year old boy whom lies to get around every day life's problems one day jason is hit by mr wolf the big bad director english paper is stolen by wolf and begins the adventure along with to earn his father's trust back they fly to hollywood in search of wolf to get him back frankie and amanda do all sorts of crazy stunts to get wolf back and all he has to do is call dad and tell him he stole his idea but the end is no real surprise being the good and wins br br the story is cute and fifth grade but what do you expect it's rated pg i really this is one of the years best family comedies not only is the acting great exceptional casting well written but it's good clean fun it made me laugh as well as fall in love with it's innocent message i highly it and would like to disagree with that someone who gave it a zero out of ten the unemployed critic isn't unemployed for nothing i give it well i voted a ten out of ten a perfect,positive +a group of four young men attending a private school belong to an old that was formed by their during the time of the witch of the late they each possess a power that ages them whenever they use it and they suspect that a new kid at the academy might be from a family that was thought to have long ago this new guy wants everyone's power for himself br br this not a horror movie as it tries to present itself as yes there is magic and all that supernatural stuff but this is really just an action movie a very mediocre action movie focusing almost solely on being cool and slick and paying only minimal attention to the plot which has plenty of sadly room for interesting twists but none were put in and even before the movie is half over you'll know what is being played and by whom br br there are a few good scenes here and there most notably an exploding car that is magically after with a big but that's about it what's worse is that director who has some very entertaining if not smart movies to his credit relies heavily on metal music and overly sexy leads to carry that film and that makes it quite possibly the horror movie since the disastrous alone in the dark it is not as bad as alone in the dark since the few slick scenes are actually slick and not ridiculously incompetent but in the end the highest this film can hope for is a nice and home on late night cable 3 10 br br rated pg 13 violent action,negative +a film of high intelligence and activity as well as being a strong capsule of the time and persona that was the 60's the film is also truly a surprise in its forward thinking themes and the unique presentation of the system of power in a group william himself to the role in the group he asks his crew members to film and film and keep filming first the two actors then the crew filming the actors then the entire set including policemen and finally a homeless man whose been living in in central park for 9 weeks br br edits the film thousands of feet together and surprisingly makes a strong narrative with an interesting arc and motivations don't expect to be bored by this film each of crew make for engaging and often times are the thoughts that the has watching this film does well at the multiple camera takes using three in one pictures and other attention shifting methods br br in the end the film will really only be effective if it's what you're looking for if you're looking for some abstract arty film that your own self indulgent ego while never having a point look elsewhere if you're looking for a film that will have you talking and thinking long afterward about the desire for honesty and sincerity in documented reality and the inevitable that comes of it then this is the perfect film,positive +the first time you watch this movie you may hate it but the 2nd time you see this movie i guarantee laughs all around the owners of the dogs are so that you can't help but look at them and laugh from the toy to the everything will make you laugh and you may learn every single nut there is,positive +this movie gave me recurring nightmares with alan voice representing an fascist the scariest movie i have ever seen psychological terror more powerful than anything any horror movie has ever achieved alan voice will always represent to me the power and terror of a state reminiscent of 1984 this movie describes to those who don't care the reality of a large part of current world this film is disturbing but in a way that everyone should watch it it's a description of a reality that no one should ever have to experience but so many do,positive +is without a doubt one of the worst comedy series ever i wonder how come there are people writing good comments on you watch friends married children if you laugh at that you can never laugh at the stupid jokes and the ridiculous accent of the singer who is trying to make her way in comedy and obviously having no chance whatsoever the actors actresses beside are ok so i feel bad for them in a so called comedy show with the least person in the world to sum up i suggest this tv show to see how low comedy can get and appreciate the ones that can make you laugh,negative +was one of a series of released in australia during the early to mid 1990s that explored the supposed of the male in the age of this creature only needs look at a pretty young thing and he's accused of sexual and his life is ruined damn those women's br br as my tone might suggest i don't buy any of this anti feminist and didn't enjoy this film the issues of sexual and teacher student relations sexual is here the product of a confused young woman's imagination and those professional boundaries that teachers are meant to maintain well when the teacher is a charming and handsome family man and played by jimmy well worry about those br br sexist trash and even by reviewing it i'm giving it more time than it deserves,negative +i loved this movie when it first came out but i was just 12 years old then and i had forgotten this film existed until one day i found a used copy for sale at a gas station i bought it and i couldn't wait to watch this film that had i loved as a kid and then as i saw this film again many years later it hit me why in the world did i like this film as a kid watching it again as an adult i realized that this film is terrible the saddest part about this film is that they had everything in place to make the greatest western ever and they blew it the costumes are perfect good actors there are 2 music scores the score is wonderful and keeps with the classic spirit of the old lone ranger alive the second score is a series of songs by country music like and the brothers and those songs like the man in the mask are so bad that they are funny this movies strongest point is that it had a storyline and one of the best western plots ever and for a while its fun to watch as john reid is back to health after he and his fellow rangers are its fun to see him grow into his new life and identity as the lone ranger as he his identity and goes on a revenge run to get the gang responsible for killing his brother and all his fellow rangers to whom he with but as good as the storyline is its all ruined by everything as you are watching it happen for the love of god why did they do that between narration and the brothers singing corny stupid songs like ride little cowboy being playing in the make this movie impossible to take serious i would love to see a really good producer take this same script and story and re do this film right because at the heart of this silly film is a great western i would this film as a beautiful woman dress in the clothing i give it 4 stars out of 10 if your 12 years old and dont know better then you might love it,negative +on the face of it any teen comedy runs the risk of being and obvious and fair enough most of them are there are a few that have above the usual of the source material bring it on and they give me hope that others can join that rare crowd of teen comedies that are actually funny and not just an excuse to flash some boobs or be a vehicle for some never was like tom green br br enter accepted directed by john cusack pal steve pink and led by the likable justin long the smart nerdy kid in galaxy quest and more recently featured in apple computer ads about a bunch of kids who don't get accepted to college and decide as in the trailer to fake a bogus one to get their parents off their backs when they go a little too far with the website and other kids end up the kids have a few problems to solve br br okay the set up is obviously preposterous but most comedy lives or dies in the execution and here accepted does pretty well mostly to is accompanied by enough well meaning acceptable friends to help him share the load but probably the best supporting character is lewis no doubt named as an homage to rodney dean martin aka uncle ben lewis black who is wisely to short where he can rapid fire his unique brand of humor black is terrific here frankly telling the kids what life is really like his laden final line is hysterical and providing the adult face to the bogus university for the parents br br but long has to carry most of the film and he does so in is easily identified with and we take to him almost immediately a nice twist was provided by character hands an who loses his due to an injury and ends up becoming the de art at the fake college also noteworthy as hyper intelligent and sarcastic little sister is hannah marks br br yes the film does feel familiar in some spots there's a debt here of all places to revenge of the those who are rejected by everyone else find a home with and his and of course the villains are enhanced master race types who run a well okay are evil and seek to and bury the for the – gasp – crime of being different but that aside accepted has fun with the material and even asks a few decent questions about the expectations on college kids and the course of higher education not that it's a brain by any means but accepted isn't just another mindless teen comedy or owen wilson vehicle it's a funny clever 90 minutes that while not a great departure from its genre is intelligent and creative enough to be very enjoyable br br there is at least one moment of brilliance in the film when out a nearby college in an attempt to ideas for his own when he sees that the kids are all out at the other school several refuse to even talk to him during class for fear of missing something he shakes his head thinking that there must be a better way as he moves to leave he is met by a stream of kids going the other way one person moving against a human tide while in the background the opening lines of play perhaps an moment of brilliance but brilliance none the less,positive +i happened to catch this on tv and wanted to watch because i remembered the spin magazine article upon which the movie is based i was very disappointed first if james belushi is the lead actor in a movie it should be a sign that it's not exactly an a list production gregory hines was a world class dancer but sadly not a great actor br br in fact all of the acting in this film is either flat or hammy which can only be blamed on the director who is this film's weakest link charles seemed to be trying to ape oliver in portraying the alleged conspiracy to cover up the real child murderer s but without the benefit of a good script an a list cast or it must be said the talent it just doesn't work br br it's a shame that such a worthy topic for a film did not get better treatment,negative +i wrote spoiler alert but there's not really much that can be spoiled it's like spoiling rotten meat this movie is probably the worst i've ever seen not because of the actors or the special effects but because of the sheer number of mistakes both factual and physical first of all the aren't actually at all they're and they're french and how the heck can dad the his son makes to fight off the without a g suit and why would try to board his plane without a g suit and how could doug defeat the enemy pilot ace with such ease anyway i did not like this movie and the worst part is that it has 3 sequels the latest one from as late as 1995 now that's scary,negative +this is a fantastic film is a very old guy with a very young heart he knows how to live his live fully everyday by up with his friend making pranks on just about everything even his own death while his wife can't deal with his irresponsible behavior she also knows that it's exactly why she loves her husband for almost half century i would love to hang out with this old guy because he knows how to enjoy live and never fear of death he is witty mischievous and never boring brilliantly played at the age of every look from his eyes and every move from his aging deliver so much about the character to the audience this is a film that leaves a big smile on my face afterwards and it makes me look at my own live a little closer tomorrow i am gonna go and buy myself a mansion and have some fun if can so can i but i think i will skip the smoking part,positive +i never really started watching the show until it was canceled and started showing re runs i actually enjoyed it for the first to third season once i saw the fourth and fifth one i was beginning to get the first problem was that they did that irrelevant scenario of history repeating itself jr having a kid like his parents did the second had to be the one where they had everyone paired up with someone ex katie and franklin the third one was when they made jr even more idiotic than before which was beginning to be tedious and to the point where i wanted to go into the t v and beat the stupidity out of him until he's unconscious the fourth one had to be that that claimed as a boyfriend the fifth one had to be katie she was beginning to be too good for herself and was treated her boyfriend franklin like the he was the last but not least was gray franklin franklin was just scary it was like watching a terrible combination of and henderson only more annoying they seriously jumped the shark when came he to the show there was little to no realism to his character and the way he laughed was a sign of obvious force showing that can't act i saw that kid just made me want slap he silly however b f before frank this show was funny and very entertaining,negative +this is a pretty lousy picture it offers nothing unique or original or even interesting br br a medical student discovers that a secret society at her university is engaged in macabre medical experiments and of course she becomes involved in solving the weird deaths at the school this movie started out promising with a few cool special effects in which a guy is partially while alive and tries to get away after he wakes up but then even that and the rest of the special effects are pretty routine plastic models of the human body and that unreal looking blood that these second rate horror movies always seem to have br br and as if the routine plot and the lousy acting wasn't enough this movie had subtitles that many times didn't even match the dubbed english that you hear being spoken and then add that to the mouth movement not matching the dubbing well let's just say trying to all that in your head isn't worth it for this mediocre movie br br i was at least counting on some skin in this movie and except for a bit during the opening credits this movie didn't deliver on that either br br this is a boring routine run of the mill horror gore movie short on horror and gore skip this movie unless ernest goes to camp is the only rental left,negative +this was a thoughtful and well shot and directed tv movie that took on a huge subject with and intelligence and gives it a film treatment that would look great on a bigger screen the palette is a little muted for tv if you're looking for a war action film or this isn't for you it's about an ordinary woman who took on an extraordinary challenge for humanity if you want to learn more about the conflict and how the work of one woman influenced the world in a massive way watch this film when it comes your way i don't see that a lot of other tv films have dealt with the issue of and ethnic hatred at this level the story avoids obvious of the bad guys and instead shows the denial and everyday hatred that resulted in deaths of thousands i was moved at several points and not in some manipulative hollywood way with driving music and flashy en scene but allowed to discover the horror and along with the characters this is a film brave enough to let the content speak for itself and keep the visuals understated to support it with dignity br br the actors do a job at bringing the intense dramatic scenes to life the scenes where victims give their before the war are powerful and wendy and are excellent william british accent is awful no one else has given him a chance to play a brit and when he finally has it he blows it and although john body was born to play a soldier he's a little too gee nice although he does a good job,positive +i really loved this movie and have spent several years trying to get it it is just not available and it has not been on tv for many many years i enjoyed it and the songs because it had something different to say and made you think how every person looks at something from different also we often don't appreciate something we have till it is no longer there br br my 12 year old daughter just the music and is with some of the songs someday i hope to get a copy of the film so she can have an opportunity to view it oh would i love to see it again too br br,positive +technically speaking this movie sucks lol however it's also hilarious whether or not it's intentionally funny i don't know horrible in every aspect it also is the only movie i know of that has 1 a fat kid being played by a slim actor in a very obvious fat suit 2 an attractive 30 something actress playing a character who's supposed to be in her late 60's and 3 the most for plastic yard daisies ever don't take this film seriously just watch it for laughs a great party movie,negative +i caught on the run at the screening room in new york and was immediately by its true independent spirit starring michael and john from the sopranos cast on the run sets us up in a 24 hour wild ride in the city that never sleeps as we follow the of an sales agent who is suddenly dragged by his long gone school companion just out of jail in fact he has escaped from it and is on the run looking for some action and a glimpse of life amidst the great metropolis powered by great performances this movie gives us back the old feeling of 70's with both characters themselves as they across town into wild events and locals an to a certain side of new york that seems to be disappearing on the run displays great sensitivity and humour i predict it to be a cult classic that to be discovered future viewers should definitely surrender to this trip,positive +synopsis kid is not accepted into any he creates a college where he and his friends can party by using their money br br wow a to ignorance br br if you believe that we're all ok man then this movie is for you furthermore you must understand that br br 1 kids have it all inside them they just need to let it out br br 2 teaching really the creativity that everyone is born with br br 3 someone else should pay for you to follow your passion br br 4 300 teenagers can live together in harmony as long as you take away those rules br br 5 speeches are often much more convincing than a prepared presentation br br 6 if the board of education allows you to open a school with teaching techniques it's because they have your best interests at heart not that they are willing to let go of low students who will end up working fast food anyways br br this movie is one in the college comedy genre i e animal house it follows the pattern pretty closely what's new here though is a complete attack on higher education not a parody of the bad elements it's missing the sympathetic a professor who the worthwhile part of university life br br this lack of balance will doom this film to the back of blockbuster it is so one sided that i wondered if it was an ironic self take on the whole genre for about one minute the movie has no deep meaning no layers no it's as if they let some kids who never went to class do what comes naturally and what is natural is what the name of the school is s br br never thought i'd say this go see something with will farrell instead his comedies can be surprisingly sophisticated,negative +hollywood will stop at nothing to make money on a film even if they have to keep dragging out stereotypes and putting them in the most impossible and stupid situations this effort is a clear example of that and i really do believe in my heart that a film like this is irresponsible story is about a divorced lawyer named peter steve martin who has been with a lady on his computer and when he finally meets her she turns out to be the opposite of what he was expecting queen is a black woman who has no intentions of dating peter but instead wants him to look at her case where she was convicted of robbery he wants her to leave for good but she keeps popping up at inappropriate times and to save his job he reluctantly agrees to look at the facts involving her case br br spoiler alert br br peter has his kids staying with him and turns out to be helpful in raising them but suddenly a news that an escaped convict named has broken out of prison peter tells her to leave when the fbi comes around but he figures out that she is in fact innocent when her old boyfriend shows up and threatens him br br this film is directed by adam who keeps things moving at a nice pace and it is a good looking film technically speaking but the script is just so improbable and every character is a stereotype to the point that a 1970 film called the is clearly more in tune with race relations than this mess i have always been a big fan of martin and i think he's one of the most talented persons around but he loves to work constantly and at times just seems to pick any script handed to him on the other hand i've always had a problem with and the way she into the life of martin is so over the top that she instantly becomes basic premise that hollywood loves to use is the hip black person showing uptight to up and then pass on some street logic that will help them with their lives that's basically what the story is here but of course they have to let martin dress black and like a retarded because hollywood knows that this is what viewers want well i was pretty much insulted by everything in this film and it's not because i don't have a sense of humor but unfortunately for hollywood anyway i use logic and common sense when i watch a film yes i enjoyed eugene talking but are we really suppose to believe that he would be instantly attracted to i guess things have happened and how many times does a main actor get shot only to be saved by something in their pocket wouldn't a cell phone if struck by a bullet even if your the most die hard martin and fan i wouldn't recommend this i know i've said this before but this isn't an attempt to make a good film it's an excuse to try and make money,negative +you'll feel like you've experienced a vacation in hell after you have sat down and watched this horrible tv movie this movie is an exercise in over acting very bad over acting to situations that made out to be more than what they are i won't give away the plot but once you realize why the people in this film are running from the native man in the film you will demand the two wasted hours of your life back the only plus is seeing brady running around in a bikini,negative +so many people have taken shots at platoon and born on the fourth of july among other calling them propaganda film now its my turn to take a political shot at a movie to me this movie is very on certain religious beliefs and on its political views br br the acting and writing was a little to clichéd for my liking mel gibson seems to like to play in these unnecessary violent films and proves it once again by up with his partner randall wallace for yet another one throughout this movie there was this garbage just tell my family i love them or tell to pray before goes to bed lines the was so with this garbage lines that i felt like i had to vomit how about that scene were wife goes to do her and this no colors applies to what to put in the machine its in the mid sixties was she some how stuck under a rock not the racism around her another scene is were daughter asks him what war is and the scene is shot in such a trivial matter br br the directing displayed this all perfectly the countless scenes of gibson and his family or soldiers praying i'm fine with showing that once or twice but after a while i wonder if the movie is trying to something into my head how many scenes with the american flag at its finest hour were shot with the melodramatic music on the director also makes it seem like we won some sort of victory in vietnam what exactly was won their the cinematography was the worst of it with the down scenes see the american flag in the distance scenes spread throughout i love america but movies like this seem to every little thing we do br br this may seem like a rant and maybe it is but i cannot stand it when a movie like this makes people who are not religious are not so patriotic that they will agree with anything their country does look bad this movie to me is narrow minded and limited in so many aspects to me it says if your not christian your wrong would god or jesus want people to kill i don't think so to me this movie was offensive at first this movie was funny with the countless clichés and scenes but then when i looked at what this movie was trying to say or not say it was really frustrating to watch i guess though it is my fault that i chose to watch this movie i hope no one takes this comment because i am not religion or but some of the narrow minded people who are so into both and everyone else br br if you want a real depiction of the vietnam war watch platoon born on the fourth of july apocalypse now the deer hunter or the killing fields even full metal jacket which i absolutely hated was a better depiction i have read a quote that in context says a true does not go with everything the government or country does but questions it when its wrong a real loves their country too much to see it do bad things,negative +i'm not a fan of this brand of comedy stereotyped characters over acting their way through a cops and robbers farce but there are enough likable characters to sustain interest michelle pfeiffer is adorable but the person really carrying the film is dean who steals every scene as the head mobster named tony no less br br performance is the reason i'm writing this review and the only reason i'd recommend it in fact you'll be by his screen time he's plays the mob boss perfectly with comedic touches in the right places managing to avoid becoming an overbearing cliche in fact a complete delight to watch a master of the take ' and a real in those classy suits and br br says a good film to watch while or eating,positive +with all the dreck out there this is a gentle movie about young love yes it's true that young love often makes more out of something than it deserves but why aren't people down on romeo and juliet paul and michelle are models of good behave compared to them br br yes they run away and set up an ideal life but this is a movie not real life paul is more sexually interested than michelle who has been come onto in a bad way eventually they have sex but no one is forced into it the movie does let kids know that sex can cause babies br br one thing there is nudity in the movies the camera does not focus on it but it is there br br the ending of the movie has paul in good chance of being found out in paul and michelle they separate for a time if you don't like the ending of a movie think one up yourself alternative endings are not just for dvds,positive +first off i am critical of this movie because i really had high hopes and instead this movie sucked br br possible spoilers if you haven't seen the tv series where to begin well let's start at the quality the movie was barely better than the original tv series and the two fight scenes were very nicely crafted however the cgi was horrid br br then there is the plot holes and questions that still remain after the whole movie is all said and done this movie does not close off as a successful conclusion to a very broad universe known as and only returns to expand the universe more before leaving us with nothing but our to what would happen in the future br br and then there is the stories biggest fault adding wwii and hitler why the series was perfect and didn't need hitler it didn't even need germany br br overall the entire movie was sorely in what a true movie could have been and if i were the directors i'd and make a new more ending ending,negative +being a huge fan of hip hop and to begin with i always knew i would like this film however i wasn't prepared for just how good the documentary actually is it covers almost all the important aspects of the only element of hip hop which has been there from the very start the story begins in the early 70's and follows the evolution of as an art from up until early 2000 will point this out as significant br br the editing is on perfect throughout the film aside from the excellent visual scratch techniques which they used the rapid cutting between interviews and the stock footage is excellent giving the film pace when it is needed the sound editing is also very good with some nice sweeping sounds being used to help with transitions br br the absence of a narrator was also welcome we aren't taken by the hand through the story and as a result the audience is able to make their own easier each dj adds another side to the story and it is so interesting to hear about the unknown stars of hip hop especially those who were there when hip hop was being left right and centre by the music business br br although there are many excellent things about this film i do have a few the biggest of these is the absence of several notable such as and jeff and also from outside america such as scratch and dj noise however if you watch the commentary on the dvd something which i highly recommend producer and director go in to great depth about how they regret not being able to feature them the deleted scenes contain many interviews with jeff and the scratch br br this is definitely the best documentary i've seen on hip hop culture and music it does stop short of showing the true potential of for that i highly recommend checking out the and videos however that is a minor i highly recommend this movie not least for the soundtrack with excellent music throughout 9 10,positive +all the criticisms of this movie are quite valid it is pretty boring and filled with all kinds of pointless ridiculous stuff a couple over their good a medium shot of a desk as a phone rings until someone finally comes sits down and answers it at a pretty pace takes or more when people look at things and playing taking a break for a beer telling a joke to a about a big mouthed frog trying to learn what to feed its babies complete with many big mouthed expressions which are needed for the weak punchline the sharing of and cream cheese on bread which to the become when there's talk of people burned in a fire lots of seemingly stock footage close up shots of animals birds insects and in the woods br br the movie starts with a forest fire then at least a couple decades later some people in those same woods get killed by an axe the killer evidently wasn't too satisfied by the axe he stole and kills other people with other weapons of opportunity or his bare hands br br if it's true that the movie in the version available on the out of print is cut perhaps if there's a lot of footage that was cut it deserves another look on dvd otherwise it's simply not very interesting and would probably try the patience of even the most hardcore slasher fan,negative +i described woody allen's manhattan as perfect to someone the other day and she thought that it was an odd way to describe a movie br br i have seen only a handful of movies that i would call perfect manhattan is one ms miller by robert altman is another and once upon a time in the west by sergio is also another film that i think achieves perfection there are a few others but aside from the fact that i find no faults in the three i mentioned i must also admit that all three directors are acquired tastes br br if there is one film that i could stand behind and bet the house that anyone i would show it to would find it flawless it's shoulder arms br br city lights the great dictator the gold rush and even the are but not only did chaplin do everything right in this film everything he did is hilarious and touching to a level beyond explanation,positive +i hadn't planned on watching because i didn't like that much i thought was a nice but slightly boring little bank robbers movie with a sensational of stars anyway i was talked into watching one night and i it a lot the plot is not only boring but also senseless i honestly don't even know what it was all about i left the movie after 3 quarters and got some coffee with another girl who didn't like it much more pleasure i can tell you that but even the guys who stayed till the end later reported to me that the plot continued being awful and useless my advice don't watch go watch team america hilarious btw and forget about twelve br br in my opinion the most boring and senseless peace of crap to be on the screen in years,negative +this movie was good relatively during the first parts of it br br we have a story from 3 points of view so let's find some clues and complete the story br br oh wait none of that stuff matters because the fbi guys are the bad guys though that was a great twist it was almost a terrible twist i immediately the film from a 7 maybe 8 to 3 based on the last 10 15 minutes of it br br does anyone else not see why the twist is so bad yes it's a good shock but it is bad because it has absolutely nothing to do with the hour and twenty minutes there's no connection to the killers br br the killers are in about all of 5 minutes of this movie as killers and the two fbi agents are only in 15 minutes of the previous hour and twenty br br we get it oh the killers are which makes no sense because they were only described in limited terms as just being and the hour and twenty minutes of we are watching of the 3 stories goes out the window as everyone is dead in 5 minutes br br all of this makes the ending even more ridiculous oh they killed a bunch of fbi agents in the beginning what fbi agents sleep together all in the same room to be found and murdered by amateurs and then by people who know nothing about being fbi agents a cop 3 feet away apparently can't hit either one with a standard police issue pistol that can shoot several shots i hate movies that try to make you feel like this could be real when they make absurd leaps they think we will believe br br the other thing is the movie ends about 10 15 minutes after they are revealed as the killers with a girl standing in the field somewhere,negative +a gem from japan where so many of the world's best films are being made today this isn't anything all that special it's just a simple drama with some comic overtones about recognizable people going about their lives best known for the character lady in princess plays a 50 year old she's takes pride in her health spending each morning in a as she delivers milk up and down the hills of after she is done with this part time job she works her regular job as a clerk at a store called s mart which made this army of darkness fan giggle along her milk route lives a 50 year old man whose wife is dying it turns out the milk woman and the man a child services worker dated in high school and each apparently still have something of a crush on the other the film actually has some major narrative problems when the screenwriter actually wants the two lovers to he uses a pretty unbelievable ex technique the climactic sequence is also really forced but most of the film is beautifully small and of the two main characters as well as many side characters the film also has several subplots that seem like they will eventually the film down but never end up doing so i think the best thing in the film is heartbreaking performance as the lonely milk woman who has herself to being alone for the rest of her life whatever the problems were the film mostly them,positive +it's awful br br pretty review i know but it has been a long time since a film has left me in such a state wondering how the hell a film like that gets made br br the last time it happened was last years turkey to br br is an ex con trying to better himself through self help videos endless and he lives by the these br br he stumbles across a washed up nightclub singer played by bennett and has an his new career is going to be that of a talent agent with the singer as his one and only client br br by his singing girlfriend played by he sets up shop and tries to career with results br br the is the reason why are so of australian cinema it is poorly constructed lame and way too long minutes for a comedy that should barely have the 80 minute mark br br every scene is too long and are very repetitive the audience is not given a character to with a vital in a film like this supposedly about an giving it a go br br the downbeat and frankly poor ending comes at the end of 30 minutes of the most mind numbing dialogue and scenes that have you crying out for a power failure br br this film is a failure on all levels made worse for audiences by its liberal and use of various gold coast palm beach location and its laughable use of names like norman park and,negative +i will keep it to bullet points so here goes 1 very badly scripted 2 tries to be like resident evil 3 zombies slow and one minute the next minute raging 4 never saw blood clean up so easily 5 special effects not as good as the original day of the living dead 6 acting not as good as the bold and the beautiful 7 it looks like it was written in 1 week and made the next week br br team plus special forces go into a zombie university to find the first zombie and a serum to cure the plague all die except the 2 main stars so predictable even though and with of zombies they survived however special forces who were trained at school only took 1 zombie to kill them even though they had weapons also the obligatory jerk on hand to fill any gaps overall load of rubbish,negative +if you are french native then you find this movie extremely funny it's good just good can though imagine that subtitles or don't mean much in english,positive +i recently went to a free screening of soap girl where the filmmakers were present before the movie they around laughing taking pictures i was excited to see them dressed up in real life and couldn't wait to see the movie on the big screen br br during the movie the audience with laughter it was clear to me then that they weren't laughing with the picture but at the picture this is purely a grade b movie with no logic behind it throw in some nudity some blood and you have a movie br br after the movie i approached a bunch of the filmmakers and asked them why they wanted to make this movie they all acted so serious like they were serious filmmakers they each told me something different to make a controversial movie a funny movie an uplifting movie a socially responsible movie everybody mentioned something different it was clear to me that none of the filmmakers knew what kind of movie they were making and they were now trying to their money by this movie any way they could to get people to see it br br let me warn you don't buy into the hype unless you seriously have nothing else to do it might be worth a film time to study how a film should not be made otherwise you are better off saving two hours of your life,negative +i have always loved old movies but this is one of my top ten favorites it has all the charm 1940's and good old fashioned romance and it's hilarious to boot barbara plays an independent single woman who writes cooking home life for a famous magazine under the premise that she is a married even the president of the magazine is under this enter a handsome played by the talented dennis morgan just rescued off of a raft along with his buddy his simple wish is to stay at the the she writes so about and relax with her famous home she now has to find a way to save her job and reputation add to this that her fiancé is in a hurry to tie the doesn't help the humor is superb and the chemistry between the leading characters a lot of fun throw in the character actor who fits this name completely it becomes even more adorable this has become my must see movie that i in with a cup of each christmas season a wonderful enjoyable movie to enjoy at or anytime,positive +i saw the movie in original italian it must be said that the acting and interpretation is most heavily by the tv generated trend to speak in a severely voice not moving lips tones as emerged in the that's real life productions and let's raise our audience with a few tears screen the late towers upon the other characters for intensity clarity of expression and intellectual honesty the movie has some good hints but as in another comment before mine it lacks a point and away in many plot lets of lesser and lesser relevance another trend dragged in from the tv productions well known to italians a few drops in style could be to the public such as the drag charm and of cooking plus sensual of see lunch etc and the are definitely more truthful seems that has learned the tune of italy in the early and is along i'll give him a last chance though,negative +this is really good original ideas in the film and a great terrorist action film only second to die hard and die hard with a vengeance this film has suspense and a good plot i would recommend it to anyone with a taste in films like mine action terrorism and gangster mafia,positive +this is the worst film i have ever seen and what disappoints me the most is that this is raj film so at first when you see the you think yes thats definitely another raj hit but when you see the film your eyes will water with disappoint the storyline is stupid and dumb we've seen it many times boy is soon to marry and falls in love with a girl blah blah blah if you do see this pathetic film don't go with you family there is too much exposure and kiss scene i don even see why you would go to see it on your own overall this is a disgusting and anything else which is bad and starts with a d film don't go to see it you'll end up hating and raj films,negative +one life stand is an accomplished piece of film making which hasn't been given the credit it deserves its imdb rating of 1 7 doesn't do it justice and is perhaps due to the very few it has had rather than the quality of the film itself shot on digital in black and white the film is well directed with production values that its budget the performances are excellent particularly that of gary lewis who gets better with every role my only criticisms are that it is a bit on the long side and could have done with a touch more humour to the darker moments overall though it is a fine piece of work,positive +this movie attempts many things but never really anything the plot time travels and weaves along without really satisfying it left a hollow is that all feeling at the end unless its free to air and there is nothing else on forget about it,negative +my house mate and i purchased the video of 'the roller blade from our local second hand video shop in the hope of finding a bad film to laugh at this film isn't even laughable it's poor worse even than jack frost 2 and that's saying something the script acting production stunts sound sets everything is absolutely terrible in some parts the actors haven't even learned their lines and are blatantly ad or in one case actually having the lines read to them off set and simply repeating them set in the post apocalyptic the film obviously consists of about 45 minutes of film many parts of which are edited badly or repeated ad from various different camera angles to make the film longer this gets tedious very quickly the plot makes no sense whatsoever it is apparently an of two books written by scott shaw there aren't even seven of them most of them aren't on they're wearing roller boots and it seems to me that mostly the film has been completely sold on the fact that there's about 3 minutes of female semi nudity in it the writer and star scott shaw obviously himself somewhat of a samurai and throughout the film performs some very poor stunts and made up sword fighting moves that look amateurish despite all this his website states that the film should never be compared to a traditional film because it really pushes the boundaries of modern film making my house mate and i were left speechless by the whole ordeal and despite my frequent attempts to burn the she has decided it may be some kind of ring esquire video curse that needs to be passed on if you see the video in stores take it from me leave well alone,negative +i first saw this movie when i was in school back in the 1960s i was fascinated with the character played by ingrid bergman and it was my introduction to the french quarter of new orleans the first part of the movie is the best as she comes back to exact some revenge on her father's wife and daughter her mother had been driven out in disgrace during this time she meets the wonderful clint played by gary cooper the chemistry between the two is great the second half of the movie takes place in ny the of the title and i never enjoy it as much as the new orleans setting but it's still very good i give this movie a ten partly out of nostalgia but mostly because it's just a darn good movie and the characters besides those of bergman and cooper are equally wonderful comes close to stealing the scenes from bergman it used to be shown on tv but it's shown rarely if ever it would be a good one for one of the classic movie stations to pick up and put into their programming,positive +renowned czech actor mostly known in north america for his leading role as in the original german czech production of the liar der 1974 gives us a last brilliant performance as a 80 year old who refuses to admit that he is about to die br br screenplay is exquisite funny moving and well developed it explores well both the subject of advanced old age and the motivations of characters that are strong and fragile happy and br br and his best friend are up to all types of and are making sure to make the best out of their dying days meanwhile wife is preparing for their death saving up for funeral money and for his endless and irresponsible attitude their son is about to take their apartment over and put them into a retirement home but doesn't want to hear any of that he wants to enjoy life and make people around him laugh he wants to help and love and give but at what cost br br sure to adults of all ages this fine piece of film by talented director is both touching and funny it makes you think of how we live our lives and why we live our lives it brings the simple story of a charming stubborn old man to the and allow us to reflect and feel what life is all about br br after an active career lasting more than 40 years it is somewhat to know that died in april 2002 no longer in the grip of cancer it is however uplifting to think that he had the chance to be a part of such a moving script and to be the of this to old age that has not even started to make the waves it is about to create in north american cinema br br after the international success of jan divided we fall 2000 it is starting to be clear that czech cinema has indeed something to offer to the world this film at least is a must see,positive +i saw this movie before something else i rented a while back and it looked decent i've seen some good stuff from full moon video and thought it was worth a shot unfortunately this was not good stuff br br the story is about a possessed bed a couple moves into a new apartment discovers the bed and odd things start happening odd things like the woman discovers kinky sex and the man discovers kinky sex and the woman draws pictures of kinky sex and the man photographs kinky sex and they both start having dreams about dead people having kinky sex you'd think a movie with so much kinky sex would be good right br br well no the problem is that this is supposed to be a scary movie or at least a thriller and it just doesn't deliver there is little tension no suspense and no fear aside from some dreams and visions there really isn't anything for this couple to be worried about the whole movie is basically the two of them having these visions and playing around in bed sure you get a monster fight at the end and some bloodshed but nothing spectacular there's only one murder and one good scare and that's it br br and the kinky sex don't get your hopes up or anything else for that matter their idea of kinky sex is woman on top fully trying to her mate with a not exactly my idea of a good time,negative +just above the box i am in now i was required to pick a number between 1 and 10 and rate this feature film unfortunately there is no option for a number less than zero and i have to put something if i had my choice i would just put nothing no number because there exist no that express the of this movie br br if you do decide to watch this film even after reading all of these horrible reviews make sure there are no sharp or blunt objects in the area this will help prevent you from trying to kill yourself in the middle of the film br br i don't know how this film was released to the public it should be locked up and 24 7 somewhere in knox i am angry that this film was even available for me to watch i feel cheated by humanity i had no idea humans could be this cruel and hitler got nothing on this bag br br do not be fooled by the movie's cover 1 there are no scarecrows no one knows why there is a looking scarecrow on the front 2 none of the characters on the back of case are even in the movie 3 the tag line says something about new moon more victims there were no victims no one even died we don't know if the cop died and i'm assuming the killer didn't die because it sounded like he was being hit over the head with a ball bat br br do yourself a favor and stay away from this movie it wasted about 4 hours of my life that's right four it took an hour for me to watch it i fast thru the 4 minute scenes that reveal nothing in the plot i at the television for about an hour after it was over my life and the direction it was heading after watching this crap and then i began to cry for the next two hours because i know someone out there will unfortunately see this movie and there is nothing i can do to stop it,negative +i saw this once probably like most people my age back in the 60's i understand the with the final product by both families but this is a great movie it was a great opera but as a film it is wonderful this film should be released at least to video other generations can gain an appreciation of great music and story telling the cast was made up of some of the greatest black actors ever most have now passed away only sidney p is still with us please don't wait until he is gone and the film as all old film does becomes do to the of time again this is a great film which is something that one does not see very often today if at all,positive +i can't think of anything i repeat anything positive about this movie the whole 1 hour 45 minute movie could be into a short 5 minute movie in most scenes there is absolutely nothing going on and it seems just the camera was left on recording on purpose only to increase the time of the movie all you see is someone in the background walking around or watching tv with no specific subject or even talk what so ever i just feel i've wasted minutes of my my family's and my weekend for nothing if a movie is poorly made or the scenario isn't great that's whole another story at least it leaves you something to discuss about but about distant i just have to call it a movie because it was motion pictures recorded by a camera br br if you haven't seen it imagine a min long movie based on two three lines of story what will you end up with 5 of content and 95 of that's exactly how distant was at least for us actors did a great job acting roles that had nothing special in them they barely talked or showed any special emotions i picked up this movie in the comedy section of a store relying on what i read on the back of its cover i'm still wondering what was funny in it other than our face after watching the movie,negative +i really enjoyed fierce people i discovered the film by accident searching through my on demand movie lists trying to find something interesting to watch the film is mostly about class in america and it quickly grabs your attention the characters are smart and and the story doesn't stick to the usual hollywood rules br br the main protagonist is a but 15 year old who spends his summer with the family donald sutherland plays the c the seventh man in america diane lane plays mother a friend of who is also a cocaine user and a slut the own a large estate and seems to live by their own rules at first they seem charming and sophisticated but the super rich are different they are used to getting their own way the film is enjoyable mainly because it has crisp intelligent dialog superb acting and a story which takes unexpected turns it is also an r rated movie so it's not entirely wholesome br br the cast is excellent anton is believable and sympathetic in the demanding role of sutherland and diane lane have never been better chris evans is impressive as stewart is good as the pretty grand daughter high quality movie,positive +altman and scorsese have twisted sex together in one of the greatest american films of the past 20 years boogie nights didn't make a huge initial and i still don't think it's received the credit it deserves the immediate surrounding the film some porn movie with mark was wholly without merit what paul thomas anderson has created is no less than a stunning representation of the pursuit and subsequent loss of the american dream if such a thing still exists br br for those of you who have been living in a box or a for the past 8 years boogie nights tells the literal rise and fall tale of young eddie adams eddie is just a dopey kid from california who wants something more out of life his room is in muscle bound naive his dreams are far bigger than his potential but not quite as large as his special gift his bald headed southern quickly raises the attention and of the present adult film industry jack burt reynolds as the film's eyed bear gets wind of hidden talent and decides to put him in a movie br br before you can say deep throat eddie has changed his name to and exposed his massive member to a wide eyed public fame and fortune make as do a of local porn his friends and co workers become his family but it soon proves to be a sunday like no other as the feel good 70s give way to the coke video friendly 80s co begin a dangerous br br anderson put everything he had into this glorious moving epic it and never a frame of this monumental picture is wasted and the characters and their dialogue live with us long after fades from the soundtrack see this one immediately and then watch it again br br and again,positive +beware the video release uses a print that defies description the movie was shot in color but you wouldn't know it for the first 25 minutes or so the print that is used is so faded and that it appears almost toned after 30 minutes some color back into the print but from there to the conclusion the color comes and goes keep in mind even at it's best the color is pale and washed out it looks like the print was recorded off a television that wasn't getting the best reception adding to this travesty is the most plodding delivery of lines that i can even the voice over narration is inducing every line is delivered in this irritating plodding demeanor i found myself wishing that they would hurry and get the words out for this reason i couldn't wait for this movie to end it's one of those so bad it's good movies but i wish that someone would find a half decent print,negative +one of the most pleasant surprises of this early 3 strip technicolor short was that a ballet dancer that appears here was named maria i half wondered if blake was the character played by in a shot in the dark after this now forgotten performer though the spelling of the character's was actually i watched this on youtube mainly to see an early judy garland appearance as we watch her in profile with her two older sisters singing la that was the highlight for me which otherwise showed some dances like that of ms that were enjoyable and some lame comedy between andy as a great bull fighter yeah right and buster keaton as a bull owner who provides one that is obviously a man in animal costume only funny part of those two is when they cry with buster providing to bull during the sad part of la also lame was seeing ted without his stooges dealing with a who keeps for other movie stars himself didn't know had left the marx brothers since he puts four between the and marx speaking of a marx it was interesting seeing without his wig though he is wearing a hat to hide his bald head also interesting was seeing among the in the beginning though i also recognized toby wing from her part in murder at the last year at least when pete smith identified her oh and smith himself wasn't funny with his wise guy narration other famous stars you may or may not recognize are also in cameos and not all are m g m contract players either so with all that said la de santa barbara is worth a look for anyone curious about judy early film appearances or the early use of 3 strip technicolor,negative +an stunning look at the ocean and the life in it br br the good br br the camera work was absolutely phenomenal every shot is done beautifully br br it was interesting seeing all the different animals that i could have never even imagined br br david attenborough has the perfect voice no one could have done any better br br the bad br br there were one or two different times where there was a reference to the earth being 1 million years old i hold a different belief br br overall a tv series anyone can enjoy i highly recommend buying it 10 10 stars,positive +of the korean movies i've seen only three had really stuck with me the first is the excellent horror a tale of two sisters the second and third and now fourth too have all been park chan movies namely sympathy for lady vengeance and now br br park kinda reminds me of quentin tarantino with his towards convention all his movies are shocking but not in a gratuitous sense it's more like he shows us what we don't expect to see typically situations that go against morals like incest or a blood sucking yet priest he's also quite artistically inclined with regards to cinematography and his movies are among the more gorgeous that i've seen br br is all that being about said priest and the repressed conscience less woman he falls for and more it's horror drama and even comedy as park his audience with many inappropriate yet humorous situations as such this might be his best work for me yet since his other two movies that i've seen were lacking the humor element that would've made them more for repeat viewings,positive +it starts out like a very serious social commentary which quickly makes one think of other clark movies like kids bully etc but then just as quickly it into a direction less mess who is the main character is this a serious film or some esquire over the top goofy film is this a documentary with moments of dialog inserted i have no clue i found myself watching the clock and wonder when this turd was going to end i kept thinking there would be some big shocker which never came i cut a good 20 minutes out of the movie by fast through the pointless scenes yes it illustrates the changing landscape between the have i got it way back in the beginning kids and bully was done in such a way that i actually felt like i was the realities of that group of friends felt very staged poorly constructed and ever worse acting teenage which larry didn't write but did direct was terrible but at least it felt like it was suppose to be a terrible movie that didn't take itself seriously was just plain bad,negative +highly suggest not to watch this film if not mentally mature enough the film create quite realistic with the steps how they prevent from terrorism if such touch wood incident happened london suppose a lovely and chill city while these kind of wars still going on just wasting the time and money for study and living every time passing around p square the feeling really obvious uncomfortable actually i don't want to vote the scored means nothing just 4 in the br br only and positive thinking cities encourage better economy and to keep time and money,negative +the original airport 1970 was a classic of its kind and the first two b movie follow ups airport 1975 airport were watchable fun at best amusing camp at worst but this crass and inept final entry lacks any entertainment value and displays a shocking contempt for its audience it's and not even good for laughs br br all of the three airport sequels were theatrical releases made by television wing but this one is beneath even the modest standards of a tv movie of its day with production grotesque casting visual and tasteless unfunny comedy the project was clearly doomed by the creative efforts of universal executive lang who personally produced and is given a story credit br br everyone starts somewhere and writer eric roth forrest might have provided an element of self as had the previous films especially the notorious airport 1975 but there is nothing worth in turgid incoherent script and even the comedy airplane left this br br what makes the airport particularly offensive is its insulting of professionals the worst victim is the gifted the autobiography of miss jane reduced to a subplot involving her a frozen heart transplant on the unfortunate flight br br a special kick to the is reserved for the wonderful george kennedy who is the true lead despite being buried in the cast list the official of the airport series and the only actor to appear in all four movies kennedy had more than earned the starring role and his turn in the seat would have been the only possible reason for this entry other than the of one last buck kennedy provides the only warmth and real humor in this mechanical briefly putting aside the and revealing a genuinely sweet and tender side to himself and his lovable and heroic character of joe unfortunately we are never allowed to forget how fat and old and over the hill kennedy is and pretty boy relentlessly calls him pig as part of a buddy bonding that falls completely flat even romance the only part of this plane wreck turns out to be merely a set up for a hateful joke at and the viewer's expense,negative +this is the kind of movie that people of a certain age will say of i didn't think they made movies like that anymore walter matthau gives his usual over the top performance but instead of leaving teeth marks all over the scenery leaves endearing grease he is like that great uncle we all know that still wears and everyone but we still love anyway br br jack performance reminds us why he had more golden globe nominations than anyone else 22 he gives a true to life performance of the basically ordinary man' even in the of a farce br br this film will probably not appeal to people who prefer blunt humor designed to confront or offend but will appeal to people who appreciate broad farce played with a straight face br br the entire supporting cast is excellent in their ability to play such absurd characters while maintaining the reality of each character br br brent gives a marvelous performance as a professional version of a lizard anyone who has known professional in real life will immediately recognize the type he is playing he nails the type perfectly his rendition of merits study as a perfect example of the contrast between absurd and pathetic br br the plot is rather a straight forward marry theme that has the usual results just because a plot theme has been done a thousand times does not mean that it is dated but rather that it is a timeless theme br br the rest of the supporting cast shows what can happen when professionals exhibit their skills in the roles that are written for them instead of for the spotlight in this film even the second actors shine it is also obvious that they enjoyed making this film br br the plot may be standard and thin but it allows the performers to shine br br this film is a true treat for people who want to see professional actors engaging in their craft the plot falls away and the performers shine,positive +robert jordan is a television star robert jordan likes things on time and properly executed in his world children are to be seen not heard so why would mr jordan want to become the master of a band of boy ratings his staff figures that if learns how to interact with the youth they will be more inclined to watch his show of course watching jordan cope most of the fun br br like mr and mr goes to college this one is sure to please br br anyone interested in a copy of this film please write to me at com,positive +this movie is pathetic in every way possible bad acting horrible script was there one terrible editing lousy cinematography cheap humor just plain horrible br br i had seen 'the a couple weeks before this movie and i thought it was a dead for worst movie of the year then i saw 'the and suddenly 'the didn't seem so bad at all br br bad bad bad excruciatingly bad,negative +on this site i've often the americans for not knowing how to write comedy but while they've never produced anything of the quality of or 'the fall and rise of they have also never to my knowledge made anything as bad as this the of british comedy br br on my scale of comic awfulness it rates only behind the truly you being as the worst comedy show in the english language with bad acting annoying characters and humour that i'd grown out of before i left primary school unfortunately it was part of a large crop of shows back then along with ain't half hot and that relied on ridiculous situations and familiar catch phrases to keep audiences amused br br michael crawford proved later on that he's a talented performer but personally i'd rather be sentenced to a month of watching than endure a single episode of this drivel which makes me ashamed to be british,negative +my reasoning behind viewing this film despite the fact that it was free was more or less out of curiosity slight slight curiosity i wasn't all that familiar with this straight to video account of mr and discovered during the opening credits that it featured horror icon kane in the starring role my emotions turned from not just curiosity but now a of mild anticipation as to how his portrayal of would turn out also in the credits among some grim photos of crimes was michael and okay i thought to myself this may be mildly amusing as the movie started and progressed slowly my confidence or as i call it hope for this movie faded entirely and i was stuck with an overwhelming feeling of as i died a little inside from watching this dung heap who is widely known and respected for his past work as an serial killer puts that into play here turning eddie from a mild mannered to a full blown killing machine he by night killing cemetery his grave robbing buddy and teenage girls leaving in a panic as the local department seems to do nothing to the dangerous situation in the least the deputy and his mom have a warm little relationship that gave me a fuzzy feeling inside or that could have just been the i halfway through this turkey i'm not sure what the point of this movie was and obviously the director knew nothing about the subject he was working with there is already such an abundance of films to story that unless the ed snuff footage is discovered i don't want to see anymore of these on the shelves if you want a more authentic film of this nature than check out ed aka in the light of the moon,negative +eric gives as great a performance as you'll ever see in an oliver stone film his barry character is an assault rifle disguised as a man and he blows away anyone on or off the air that him adapted from stage play talk radio is a vicious and frightening ride that doesn't let you off until it's too late by then you've become familiar with the of wannabe and mere prank who listen speak and in the dark of dallas nights br br stone behaves himself if that's even possible letting dominate every scene from humble to the make or break point when his radio show can reach national the rest of the cast are uniformly excellent as the lovers and or co workers that all have being used and tossed aside by barry in common br br the only thing i'd change is the recurring theme music bad to the bone i'd have used turner not fragile a better song one i haven't heard in a film so far and a driving relentless tune whose ominous riff is like the true soundtrack to life br br listen if you dare,positive +the of the tragedy is presented in the end note of the movie in the battle of more than one million people were killed in action to death or died of russians italians germans of the 000 surrounded men of the sixth army were taken prisoners of whom only 6 000 returned to their years later br br what the story does not tell was that who did not share all the of the of his men he had a special treatment as the highest taken by the soviet army when during his presence at the trials he was asked about the fate of the 000 prisoners he that they were fine he was freed after the war and died in the east germany br br the film only presents the first part of the tragedy the actual battle of however for an entire picture the fate of the 000 should also not be forgotten,positive +if i had never seen an episode of the original with or i would have appreciated this series more while the cast did its best to sustain the action and interest of the scripts i was just caught up in comparing the episodes to the original series there was an expectation of more in fight scenes and the continuity seemed as though the writers were struggling to keep up with the actors to be honest i can't blame them for trying to the fans from the original series but it just didn't work as by the fact that it lasted one season watching labor through this series reminded me of gen macarthur when he said soldiers never die they just fade away ',negative +i was intrigued by the nasty boss character as i am one myself and the actual daughter was attractive and it was interesting to see an even younger but this movie is so i had to turn it off it was a waste of time to watch it when people started all over the living room it was too much to watch painful awful crap movie if they had just toned it down a little are there really people out there that find it funny and like it i was to know that imdb readers rated it so low the career side to the story was intriguing as well as the young man trying to get a promotion and win the bosses favor i liked that part also the opening scene with the on the train was cool as i like his characters if you can stomach non sense movies or you are pretty young then it might be one you can stomach,negative +this movie moved much too slowly for my taste the concept of the story is different in that it explores the family dynamics of living with a mentally retarded family member in a way that i have not previously seen on screen however the execution of the concept was flawed each character was developed fully within the scene of her first appearance then one had to endure the feeling that each character was water the rest of the way that is each character about in her relationships with others in the movie which i found to be a form of emotional and social i suppose this has artistic merit given the irony that the story centers around an intellectually retarded individual surrounded by way above average intelligence friends and family the acting however was well done without exception i agree with other reviewers that the cinematography was beautiful in summary i think the film has strong artistic merit because of the fine acting and cinematography but fails on an emotional level due to the shortcomings described,negative +this is a really really bad movie that may seem like an a childish comparable to a petty insult the truth is there is not enough i can say about the confusing senseless plot the really atrocious acting i'm talking nasty here folks or the random images of violence toward women that make up the chaotic of horrendous film making mistakes that this to all that is good and decent in the world of cinema human culture please take my word for it don't watch it ever i'm serious stop you'll thank me for it later,negative +wow this movie is bad think with ninjas the worst part is when a sword is supposed to be floating in but you can see the strings or maybe the worst part is the gigantic eye that looks like a coaster that the good ninja wears actually there are so many bad parts i can't make up my mind which is the worst i can't believe anyone actually put up the money to have this thing made the only redeeming value is that it is good to laugh at,negative +the world is going to miss john this was his first feature film and it was four years before he directed his second but don't let that you from seeking it out direction is assured and he gets some compelling performances out of his cast br br someone else has already pointed them out but i also want to talk up james gregory and in two key supporting roles both would work for again gregory most notably as the bumbling senator in the candidate and they do good work for him here br br if the whole thing seems too simple in the end that's merely because and writer robert chose to tell a simple story and they do it well keep a for it turner classic movies just might show it again,positive +the writers and creators of this film should actually be for the world with this crap man in the mirror is in fact beyond horrible way way way beyond br br and people i'm not just saying that because i'm a michael jackson fan or due to the fact that this is truly one of the most retarded depictions of his life i've ever encountered br br i'm saying it because this is a waste of time money and celluloid i feel ashamed of myself just having seen all of it that's 1 hour and 26 min of my life i'll never get back i'm telling you watching grass grow is literally more entertaining than this film br br consider yourselves warned,negative +i think this movie deserves a 10 out of 10 because it is hilariously funny from start to finish the plot is simple and straight forward but it keeps you watching and there are so many laughs that you really start to love it when i went to see this movie i hadn't heard much about it and i didn't know what to expect i thought it was going to be an old type of film like girls or something but it took me completely by surprise even though i am still a teenager and the film was probably not directed at my age group i still found it excellent and i think that people of all age groups would like it i think it is a shame that it is not at all famous and it deserves more publicity so that more people will go and see it and realize what a great movie it is,positive +being one of the fathers of my monkey movie club this also includes apes and i am reviewing this film from a monkey movie standpoint it is a whole summer of monkeys 100 days for monkeys to do what they do best cause solve human problems and teach us about ourselves br br the story is simple enough in short poor boy needs money for stuff he wants luckily there's a few monkeys that have a bounty on their head that would get or blood flowing as the boy tries to catch the monkeys he learns about himself his family his grandpa the local weirdo with a girl twice his age and learns the beast way to deal with bullies is to have someone point a shotgun at them br br there within lies the problem so much focus is put on the boy that the just don't get the screen time they deserve the are not as talented as the s that play jack from the m p trilogy or the legendary that play or clyde 1 or 2 so don't watch this movie expecting to find the next big thing in the genre the hit some sweet which is what the film needed more of there is an epic scene of the breaking into the poor families house and destroys all the things they worked so hard for serious monkey movie will want to rent the film for this scene alone br br so in closing this movie is not for the serious monkey movie i wouldn't recommend this movie to families as it encourages a rebellion against their parents i can only recommend this film as a rental for hardcore monkey loving adults and well children,negative +ignore the comment before mine the show is comic genius most underrated show ever 3 reasons why reason 1 the flashbacks are hilarious who cares if they have absolutely nothing to do with the story they make me laugh so hard it hurts and isn't that the idea of a good comedy programme people who think this isn't funny just have no sense of humour who cares if they are random its a t v show you can do what ever you like with it and people say its not realistic neither is a cartoon its animated reason 2 the jokes are just generally hilarious seth and the other writers are funny everything from the star wars references to making fun of celebrities i love them all and reason 3 the story lines are just brilliant and funny they set up all of the jokes with their crazy nature and just all the more funnier br br i caught this one late night on and have never gone back i have all 7 seasons plus the kind of movie thing the story i have several t shirts posters and my collection is still growing i've never got a collection of any tv show before but this was so funny i just had to get everything br br just watch season 3 and trust me you will be hooked for life the funniest show ever created and i hope it never ends,positive +the club scenes in this film are extremely believable tim is in his most mode and there are enough drugs and violence here for two movies maybe even three what more do you require from an entertainment up the volume,positive +drug runner introduces his friend rock to his boss drug frank unknown to is actually an undercover police officer during the bust on factory accidentally shoots in the head he survives the wound later hired the duo must overcome their mutual hatred to survive br br adam films are usually a hit miss affair with his comedies either loved by his fans or hated by everyone this one is not as stupid as his other films but still cannot overcome a lazy script the direction is incredibly with fast paced action sequences giving way to slow comic between sandler damon wayans some of the action scenes – flying a plane with no a car chase at night through a forest – are quite contrived the acting is the standard for this genre with sandler wayans making a good pairing in short the film is dumb but fun to watch br br grade c review by m k,negative +if you like the three stooges you'll undoubtedly like this 17 minute short there were certainly some amusing moments in it but like all the work this revolves around their particular style of slapstick comedy and i have to confess that somehow the stooges just never really did it for me their slapstick always seemed angry rather than funny and even though it was obviously fake their antics always seemed more likely to cause hurt rather than to cause laughter in this short the slapstick revolves around the attempts to find who is a professor of music in this a wife because he's just inherited half a million dollars on condition that he marry within 48 hours of the will being read one of his students is interested but once word of the inheritance gets out there's suddenly a long line up of potential brides and a pretty good cat fight emerges between them fans of the stooges will enjoy for me it has all the elements that drive me nuts about them 4 10,negative +this film was embarrassing in its clichés poor acting and generally low production values it starts out badly with the long haired 3 star general calling the hero masters major when he is obviously wearing the silver leaves of lieutenant colonel but what was most was the crew of soldiers on how out of touch with any kind of reality can you get they were all experts on flying a and the scenes of the soldiers digging the were beyond comical br br warning this film is dangerous to your intellectual health watch at your own peril,negative +i watched this film with a group of nazis a french and my ex girlfriend on a small island in the br br when the tape was started myself and my girlfriend were tied to a wooden stake at the far end of this cave like area i told her to close her eyes and no matter what happened not to open them the and the didn't close their eyes and after a few seconds started screaming the faces and the head br br after a few seconds the video tape popped out of the vcr and landed back in it's box and the top shut myself and my girlfriend were left br br to this experience the video was put in a wooden and in a huge warehouse of identical wooden never to be see again,negative +hilarious clean light hearted and quote worthy what else can you ask for in a film this is my all time number one favorite movie ever since i was a little girl i've of a blue van with flames and an observation bubble br br the cliché characters in ridiculous situations are what make this film such great fun the wonderful comedic chemistry between stephen harold and andy make up most of my favorite parts of the movie and who didn't love the hopeless of don't forget the airport antics of dressed up as dancing and playing the the clues are genius the locations are classic and the plot is timeless br br a word to the wise if you didn't watch this film when you were little it probably won't win a place in your heart today but nevertheless give it a chance you may find that it doesn't matter what you say it doesn't matter what you do you've gotta play,positive +i rented this movie with very low expectations but was pleasantly surprised this movie is extremely good stuff and one would never guess it was low budget br br directed by centers around an 18 year old named played by the superb who leaves his home because of the circumstances surrounding the way his older brother died he is overcome with guilt by this event and falls into a hard life of a runaway teen on drugs and alcohol on his 18th birthday his father tracks down and gives him a tape left for him by his grandfather of which he was to listen to on his 18th birthday br br the way the whole film is told is with two stories unfolding at the same time the present life of and the past life of his grandfather during of which to on the tape br br the three outstanding performances in this movie are the ones from as and playing jason the young 18 year soldier his grandfather also the role of the wounded played by ' all putting in fine performances br br a couple of concerns and scenes that didn't sit too well with me the priest father chris played by who is gay and in broad daylight up the local street hustler the whole neighborhood knows about and then we have the local store clerk named jeff a sweetheart played by the attractive who just wants to be loved and for some unknown reason is attracted to the very unattractive and sleaze ball street hustler clerk who sleeps with just about anyone and in all is a walking toxic time bomb on top of all that he's not a very likable person this part just didn't ring true br br the parts i really like the most was the flashbacks to the war they were so well acted and very touching there is a scene at the end where the one soldier is dying and the other soldier is there for him to comfort and show him love as he lays badly injured and dying this is such a wonderful and touching scene it left me in tears beautifully acted br br i highly recommend this movie it is one of love redemption and the power of the human spirit to survive,positive +i saw this version of hamlet on television many years ago and have seen every other version since whether television or movie however this is the one that remains the depiction of the story for me most excellent derek made hamlet real for me before i saw this version shakespeare was simply to me and i never tried to understand the english having seen hamlet several times not only my knowledge of literature but also that of my family i promptly checked the play out of library and read it and over the accompanying recording rendition attracted me to a deeper knowledge and yet i have been for a video of it for years and years to no it gets a very high rating from viewers why then has it not been released on video it's the only hamlet that i'd in,positive +i own this movie and it is terribly hard to find it is a unique low budget little gore flick about a doctor seeking the perfect companion it has the really low budget feel to it and the gore is good for what appears to be a 500 budget the director is claimed to be the master of gore i wouldn't go that far but maybe in his time he was overall 6 10 on the gore,negative +let me start of by saying that i never wanted to see this movie in the first place i had to watch it one day and i figured that i guess i can up and enjoy it for what it is and it might turn out to be entertaining what i got going in with that expectation was one of the worst movies i have ever seen bar none first of all there was nothing humorous in the least bit the creators expected humor to be laughable passable if they include sarcasm in every line that comes out of mouth and use scene after scene of bland played out aspects to charm the audiences light hearted side while still making them and ah for more with boring action scenes and insipid lackluster performances that made me want to yell at everyone in the audience that was enjoying it the acting was dull the humor was tedious and the characters plot felt like they spent about 10 minutes creating their entire personalities which gave the uninspiring actors actresses no range on how to portray their characters with the least bit of depth this movie is plain and simply awful in every field and really only kids under the age of 10 will be able to enjoy it which even though that's what age range it was aimed at that does not excuse it for being so poorly and causing me to feel so parents spend your money on up wall e the chronicles the water horse or hotel for dogs for the best recent family kids flicks or even alvin and the is better than this filth,negative +your time and brains will be much better spent reading or listening to charlie war phillip seymour hoffman plays the most enjoyable character in the movie the greek and he plays him as a in the book is hard core and completely free to speak his mind in the movie he's not even shown as being equally important to charlie and poor charlie is never shown blood which he did every time he visited the camps in in short the movie is too bland and the history is too old for our modern time we don't really care about the end of the cold war and the defeat of the soviet union which happened in spite of reagan not as a result of by a well group of people who were extremely willing to fight not quite the lesson we need to be hearing and seeing considering how well the wars in iraq and afghanistan are going as i read the book i kept getting that feeling except it was present day,negative +spoilers br br i love movies i've seen a lot of movies i didn't think i'd ever see a film that i actually hated son of the mask ruined it son of the mask is so bad i'm not even going to do a detailed comment like i usually do in fact i'm not even going to write a lot i think all of you should know that this movie is horribly awful and poor jamie kennedy he was awesome in scream but now this film also this film takes a can film and turns it into this goofy kids film that not even kids will like this film also consists of very rude humor like the nose woman she has a nose for a head and when she white stuff out of her nose there is also an exorcist parody yes a kid film has an adult parody maybe they thought the adults would like it quite frankly it made the film even more and crude br br here's the basic stupid plot tim dog gets the amazing mask and turns into a cartoon dog thing when tim is paying more attention to the baby with special powers cartoon dog becomes a ripoff then takes the baby with amazing powers and tim and have a really cheesy animated fight wearing the mask it all ends happy too bad this movie is horrible br br overall the original the mask was a fantastic jim carrey movie this basically is not please please don't rent buy or this movie i made a terrible mistake renting this i don't want you guys to make that same exact mistake i feel horrible that i couldn't write a detailed comment but really what's there to comment on br br 2 10 i'd give it a one but come on it's basically a kid film br br recommended films the mask,negative +when all we have anymore is pretty much reality tv shows with people making fools of themselves for whatever reason be it too fat or can't sing or cook worth a damn than i know hollywood has run out of original ideas i can not recall a time when anything original or intelligent came out on tv in the last 15 years what is our obsession with watching make fools of themselves i would have thought these types of programs would have run full circle but every year they come up with something new that is more strange then the one before ok so people in this one need to lose weight most americans need to lose weight i just think we all to some degree enjoy watching people maybe it makes us feel better when we see someone else looking like a jerk i don't know but i just wish something intelligent would come out that did not insult your intelligence,negative +is this a bad movie br br of course what were you expecting from a movie called beach babes from beyond br br it is a babes in bikini movie and has no of being otherwise given this is not a room with a view or list if you wanted a film like a room with a view then you would not be looking at beach babes from beyond but if you are looking for a good babes in bikini movie with almost no plot this is the one for you this flick delivers on what it promises and then some it is pure 100 adolescent fun br br there were lots of babes in and out of the movie was quite funny and great to watch these were some of the most beautiful women i have ever seen on home video br br every high school kid should watch at least one bad movie like this this is actually one of the most memorable movies i have ever seen so i say again if you are going to watch only one babes in bikini movie this is it,positive +as the title of the movie is in germany is a another attempt to show one of the most interesting roman better known as although this attempt at least tried to show a more historic accurate than the amusing but completely peter ustinov played in it still is a major failure and to those imdb who still believe that and propaganda is true please read a book about that was published less than 20 years ago did not burn rome this is proved he did not murder he did not torture kill and for pleasure he was the first emperor who banned the gladiator fights the movie still shows a lot of mistakes errors and is by the way made in a really cheap style especially the sets were cheap and unconvincing the palace looking like some villa the city itself looked like well like a cheap set the acting was between good and sub par the music nearly insignificant and the movie soon after became emperor to a rushed bad edited mess without any clear narrative structure so there still is the potential for an epic biography of that shows the true who was one of the best who ruled rome despite the lies of et al,negative +it couldn't br br from the cutting dialogue to the super special effects this film was a joy to behold throughout the immediate feel for the of the the for the characters that is built up at the base level before the real action up and the cunning finale combine to make this one of the most memorable and enjoyable films around br br up against a long list of films that have attempted to exploit the theme of from another planet the thing comes out on top and laughing who can forget the perfectly timed dialogue and the chilling special effects special effects that are a lot more impressive than the computer generated images that we get to see today i for one found some of the most enjoyable aspects of the film to be the way that we were introduced slowly to each member of the crew and the way that they all had some distinctive character traits this wasn't just a senseless bloodbath come slasher horror flick this film had feeling emotion br br i truly can't recommend this film highly enough i have yet to see anything in it's class that comes anywhere near to matching let alone the near perfect acting and timing in this cunning feat of cinema,positive +portrayal of fugitive ex felt entirely natural his demeanor his voice his appearance all of it spoke to when he entered a space i as well as characters on the screen could feel he didn't belong there and that his determination to be there spelled trouble br br i read somewhere that mr actually took japanese training and that would explain his comfort with the which showed in every if you watch the movies from the moment he draws to the moment he the sword you feel as though you were witnessing something inevitably ugly he'd even spin the quickly to flick off the blood before it and it would happen in an instant br br rendition comes across as a rendition it feels as though he were trying too hard to be someone else or tell someone else's story as a result every time i tried to engage i'd lose my grip because he didn't seem to have a firm grip on the role himself as though it were awkward for him br br the in the tv series was entirely old school too camera cuts to disguise mr with the slow action targets sitting still etc extremely bad from a viewer's perspective there was a moment in the episode the castle wall attack when mr drew his sword like a child it was embarrassing he handled it as though it were heavy i almost fell off my chair br br and let's be frank the story is about an excellent period is an issue br br realism isn't however the in the movies was excellent and manga like as was intended i'm sure the baby was with a of automatic rapid fire by a 3 year old yes manga style it's how the story weaves historical cultural accuracy into basically superhero fantasy that makes the movies captivating read historical legend i couldn't really sit through the tv series episodes they just felt cheap see the movies first and you'll know what i'm talking about,negative +edge is more than just the story of a murder it's an of the wave of that has plagued of youth for decades now our main characters are a group of what my high school would have referred to as one of them just decided to his girlfriend because she apparently had the nerve to talk sh t to him this dangerous young man played by daniel has an intensity that will you he takes the other kids in the group out to show them his body and strangely enough nobody seems really freaked out about it the balance of the film the desperate circumstances in which these people live and how guilt is eventually able to worm its way inside even these kids br br edge is certainly not or the behavior of its characters we clearly see the dangers presented by such and having only the desire to get drunk or high we are shown the dysfunctional home lives these kids have and perhaps this is meant to explain their awful behavior but could it only be unstable homes that lead to this type of destructive living glover is his usual whacked out self he drives around town in a state of complete paranoia after the murder he tries to sympathize with why his friend had to commit the crime but clearly he does not understand what could have made the young man do it dennis hopper plays an older man these kids get their from though he is certainly a rebellious figure he cannot relate to the and rage of the younger generation witness his confused reaction as describes how killing his girlfriend made him feel as wild as character is even he knows this young man should not be walking the face of the earth br br what will you think of these kids well there is really no way to like their characters some are less despicable than others but you cannot help either hating or feeling sorry for them twenty years later there is still an alive and well in a great many young people out there when do these kids get lost what makes so many of them want to act anti social this film and the questions it poses about teenagers will stick with you for a while that's a fact br br 8 of 10 stars br br the,positive +eh it's not really as good as the other the villains are actually rip offs of other z villains like cell and even with baby being clone super 17 being clone and the shadow dragons being clone s the story is also very bad as it deals with it deals with him to like the size of an eight year old just to get it going let us not forget how weak the characters become can't go anymore and is even weaker than pan it's sad i know speaking of pan she was so cute at the end of z now she's lost all that and become an irritating whiny little girl whose sole purpose in this series is to get in the way doesn't even have a purpose in the series and well i don't know what to say about is just an attempt to milk the popular franchise if you really like then avoid this series it doesn't even feel like i will be fair though as the ending however was really good and is actually pretty sad at least to me and the theme songs both ending and opening are better japanese not american been better if san worked on it,negative +an insane assault on viewers senses this is a mash of hindi and english movies poorly done the name carries over from a multi star cast which the 2002 version also boasts of the story is taken from the roy and visual effects taken a horrible attempt from the matrix terminator 2 and mission impossible ii br br set in a college environment kumar college kids is the victim who mistakes a fatal assault on her by two students as a collective effort on the part of our as it turns out is a snake as a girl in this life and her mate from the previous life now a super powerful all and any shape assuming is out looking for her in this life appeals to him to avenge her and murder br br so begins the mad killing spree where the lover starts each male of the group with increasing powers and tricks with attempts the effects are extremely cheap with computer generated bodies and motorcycle stunts the farce br br carry over from includes raj playing a catholic priest who provides temporary relief to our boys with a more correct multi religion the original only had an sunny plays love interest in her current life and the ultimate against the all powerful br br music and songs are below average br br avoid if you don't fancy cheap thrills,negative +i give this a 10 out of 10 not because the plot was hard to because it wasn't but because it leaves one caring for the characters the acting by all the cast is superb especially joan and it's a marvellous episode because of it's heart br br miss is called upon by jason dying request to investigate and solve a murder that happened some seven or eight years previously and she has to discover who why and when as she goes along mr is the same as was in a mystery and so there is a sense of a connection here br br nemesis is definitely one for the amateur among us and if you are one of those who is only happy with lots of blood guts and rip roaring action sequences then you won't like it but if you are like me one who loves knowing about people and discovering what makes them then nemesis is the one for you,positive +i went into the movie expecting a little action mixed with a strong story line i understand that changes between written works and movies must be made for many reasons br br the changing of the relationship between the scientists they were father daughter in the book the director of was eliminated thus causing the scene between the and the director to be changed to the and the head of the swiss guard in the office br br ron howard made sure to get his dad inserted as a with a accent but missed all the symbolism both and the to the heavens in the helicopter with hanks character landing in the river and the priest landing upon the in what was described as a christ like image br br at some point this film needs to be remade by a director who is up to the job,negative +throw hasn't dated at all it's as funny now as when it was released a genuinely eccentric comedy that doesn't try too hard to be liked and is all the better for it full of memorable laugh out loud lines even small characters are well written and beautifully played like billy best friend's girlfriend and a lovely cameo from rob as agent a little bit insane and a lot funny,positive +why was this movie made are producers so easily fooled by that they'll give them money to create torture methods such as this so called film i love a bad movie as much as the next but cave is pushing it it's seriously physically painful to watch the plot is something about a dude name a up whom i will refer to as private for the rest of this review who has to fight invisible warriors and rescue a princess in order to beat the bad guy who needs to find a better hair i might have gotten the plot wrong since it's been a while since i watched this but really do you care that much oh yeah private also has a mute asian sidekick who hasn't who's not funny br br anyway private fights invisible people visits some all in the name of a good king so personality free he makes al gore look like jim carrey then private builds a hang yes i'm serious and gets the girl it's cheap unintentionally silly and mind numbingly dull why am i not surprised that the director ended up making porn br br bottom line avoid will steal a part of your life and you will have no funny so bad they're good to take with you from the experience bad bad gags,negative +can't grade this very well because i can't say i liked it but it is the story that bothered me not the realization of the film the acting directing atmosphere music were all good it's just that after you see a bunch of people doing things you can't truly relate to the movie ends it is educational in the way that it shows the horrors of war as seen from home and the way feelings don't need to make any sense at all and still be strong but that's about it br br the plot covers a period of a few years in which the poet dylan thomas is taken under the roof of a former ex girlfriend he is married brings his wife and later the kid while the ex knightley marries some other guy but the tension is there dylan is a self obsessed jerk and the new husband comes back home from the war with a slight case of add in some pretty characters and you have your hands full br br bottom line you have to be in the mood to like this film the hard part is defining this mood i don't think i've ever been in it yet ever so it is probably better watched by adults with a grasp on weird complex human behaviour and maybe a curiosity about dylan thomas,positive +well some people might go to see this to watch a trashy rubber and clad vampire assassin kicking some ass if that's what you want and you wear a cloak file your teeth to points and think that the name silver is cool you'll see a fine film br br if like most people an assassin dressed in rubber with huge thick makeup and bad makes you laugh then this is one of the best comedies you'll see i laughed so hard i nearly cried ridiculous acting dialogue and plotting help to make this a better spoof than dracula dead and loving it could be br br it tries to be cool and and all it succeeds in doing is making each scene hilarious even the tacked on lesbian scene is funny how did she get those boots off that quickly they were laced up to here br br don't see it if you like good films see it if you like terrible films and want to laugh until you fall over it isn't good it's just bad,negative +100 this is not to be confused with the decent this film is a very low budget and cheap rip off of that movie this one is so bad it actually does have some entertainment value on that level there are numerous i think laugh out loud scenes i wasn't expecting much from the film and it was actually worse than i had imagined it would be br br it's a cliché ridden and predictable direct to video mess fortunately it doesn't take itself too seriously the acting as expected is not quite oscar caliber the special effects are poor worse than i would have thought they would be poorly edited and the score is,negative +i've got to say i'm a big fan of these house on the rip offs even the ones that most people seem to hate are often held in relatively high by me but one of these sorts of films that i didn't like much was train and unfortunately it would seem that trains and the last house on the left don't mix as terror express is another rip off something that this sort of film really needs is a nasty lead character and while terror express offers up three potential candidates not one of them steps up and becomes this villain leaving the lacking in the most important area it actually gets off to a good start as three young men on a passenger train begin slightly irritating the guests on board this leads the audience to believe that there is more in store but unfortunately it never really gets going once the scene has been set from there the trio end up the train and use their new found power to the guests and rape the women br br it has to be said that there's a fair amount of sleaze in this film which will be pleasing to many viewers but there's hardly any blood director seemed to think that he could get away with replacing the blood with sex scenes and he may have gotten away with it too if he could film a brutal sex scene the idea that these men have taken the train by force goes out of the window once it gets to the sex as the people that you would expect to be powerful and seem all too keen to show their women a good time and despite one very tame sequence none of the sex is particularly interesting since a lot of the film is taken up by these sex scenes this becomes a massive problem films like this are often lacking in style suspense and credibility but you know you're watching a bad one when it's boring you as you might expect none of the acting is up to anything and the central three in particular stand out for being rubbish the direction is lacking in style and there's very little tension or suspense making it difficult to care what is going to happen overall this is a pretty crappy example of an exploitation film and i can't recommend it,negative +bride of is one of the better horror movies to come out in the past ten years and could be one of the best horror films of the 90's br br spoilers br br girlfriend jennifer manages to find his remains after being sucked into the fan at the end of part 3 and brings him to life in her trailer park her neighbor jessie nick and his girlfriend are being tormented by her uncle john ritter when he refuses to marry her so she buys a doll for him to play with kills and then her soul into the doll she got him in order for them to be placed back into human bodies they have to travel to new jersey to retrieve an to do so jessie sees this as an opportunity to escape from ritter and they set out on the journey but not before ritter is killed by and along the way several bizarre incidents force them to stop at a bed and breakfast when several more people are killed they call up their best friend gordon to out the situation they convince him neither one of them are the killers as the police have began to solve the crimes he finds body in a in the back of the van thinking he has been set up he confronts them about it and then turn real to prove they did it which gets killed the group steals a home and arrives at the cemetery jessie and get and to turn on each other giving them enough to escape and forces her to get his and their which gives jessie and enough time to kill the both of them as the police arrive and them of the crimes br br the good news i have to give the most amount of props to the fx department as and as dolls look completely convincing the scenes with them together are the movies main highlights including a hilarious conversation where on how serial killers in the 90's work that being said the amount of one liners in this movie that are actually funny is incredible gets the most of them but cracks a few gems as well it is actually funnier than what hollywood calls comedies these days the gore is and shockingly realistic several deaths in this movie are actually original and creative turning ritter into a new form of was a totally brilliant scene the couple was a nice death scene as well for teenage love the pairing of and works great they have a great chemistry together and actually behave like a normal couple i also have to admit that the first time i saw this movie i did jump during certain scenes and that shows what an incredible job director did he learned enough apparently to do the same thing with freddy vs jason he knows how to stage set ups and pay offs and here he shows some great skills that have a hong kong influenced look and style he could be the next great horror director if he keeps filling up his resume with films like those two nice soundtrack too like freddy vs jason br br the bad news for fans of cheesy movies this will be a great find however this film has a high cheese factor that may prevent the serious horror movie fan from having a good time enjoying this film the film knows it is a cheesy movie and in it making a serious fan turned off because of things like the one liners it isn't all that bad of a movie but it has to be watched in the mind frame that it is a cheesy movie and that the cheesiness of certain scenes add to the movie not to take it away remove yourself from that state of mind and you may find yourself enjoying this movie br br the final verdict fans of cheesy movies and the other child's play movies will find a lot to like about this movie for serious horror fans take a look at it but keep in mind that it isn't a serious movie and that the cheesiness is supposed to be there and you might find yourself liking it br br rated r graphic violence graphic language brief nudity on a doll a shadowy puppet sex scene some drug use and numerous drug references,positive +the comments for make it sound like a very interesting film one that i would be deeply interested in unfortunately the producers didn't see fit to include closed for the hearing and deaf that leaves me and countless others like me who depend on closed to follow a movie completely out br br this is for any film produced in the year 2005 in a world where all manner of and are it's and ironic that the ever entertainment industry fails to demand that all productions and movie theaters be closed,negative +as was mentioned by others could there be any other reason to see this film other than to see former wayne's world star mike myers play a serious role the story line is interesting but lacks development and is by loose ends and bad characters if there was any good shots of ireland then it would give it another reason to see it but instead it focuses on a little normal village that is obviously surrounded by the of the that are often shown in irish films if there was any cultural to admire the irish personality it would be worth seeing however this could have almost been shot in england too bad for myers but this one fails to please or satisfy the heart of anybody who ever wanted to visit the land of,negative +or should i say unintentionally hilarious either way this is one of the best comedies i've seen in a long time i was laughing throughout at the antics of some of the dumbest fictional characters this side of homer simpson it's just one painfully stupid scene after another as the dim witted cardboard for actual characters push pull and drag the plot to its inevitable and obvious conclusion br br if i had to describe this movie to someone i'd call it a mutated hybrid of fatal attraction dumb and dumber and the three stooges with a climax similar to the episode of family guy in which the whole family gets into a knock down in the living room br br advice to benson family next time you get a new pet do the poor animal a favor and don't name it fred,negative +i have barely managed to view the entire film only after about out of the movie's did the journey to mars begin and then there were left for the closure these 85 long minutes were very boring and didn't contribute anything to the film when finally reaching mars it wasn't much better plot wise it all could have been into much shorter running time and nothing would have been missed br br what i cannot understand is the piece of trivia saying the because of the film new born babies were named why would someone want to name his her baby after a villain who despite having only one apparently has 3 breasts br br the only interesting thing here is the sets and costumes for the mars scenes they are an interesting experiment in just as the of dr was for five years earlier br br i give it 4 10 for the great looking design,negative +this was it i would have never expected the ending if i didn't already know the behind the scenes stuff br br the one thing that i hated was that why was shannon kicked off and not i hate her i would rather her character die that what was funny is that in the scene where is on the hospital bed and was crying by her side i started crying too lol at the time that this aired i was about and my favorite character was from the beginning so i was saying to myself if she dies then i will not see the show anymore lol br br then the whole go back in time thing was a shocker and really good i also blame for death because instead of being with her sisters she had to be a and be with her good for nothing demon boyfriend br br but i think this episode will be now and forever one of my favorites and a classic br br forever blessed be,positive +this movie contains real animals been killed like a monkey been eaten by a snake and an been cut open i find this totally deranged and sick and seriously question the mental health of the director of this trash br br this movie is so stupid and that it has no logic at all br br there is a lot of boobs and sex in this movie still don't bother viewing this trash for that if you want to see boobs and sex watch a porno instead there is also rape scenes in this movie which i found disgusting like women been raped and cut up and eaten this movie is for and those who get their kicks seeing people been cut up and eaten br br a lot of the animals like the monkey that appeared in this movie there is none in the of new guinea the local characters most of them appeared to be asian and none look like they come from new guinea it looks like this movie was made around the grounds of a resort which i bet it was br br stay away from this trash its sick and deranged,negative +two hands restored my faith in aussie films it took an old premise and made it fresh i enjoyed this movie to no end i recommend it to those people who like guy ritchie films bryan brown was fantastic and just about perfect in a role made for him ledger was dumb and his performance a very satisfying movie for me,positive +this film had everything i need in a film women violence music by h i m and tony the artwork and camera effects in this film is amazing the music in this film is the best i've heard in any other film each track goes so well with its scene i thought the acting was really good considering none of crew have been in scripted films before although the whole concept of the film is the story of ryan and his girlfriend who is sleeping with behind his back is a predictable and age old story they way its acted out is very unpredictable for example and the gas tank himself breaking behind the and all the don scenes this films is a must see,positive +fantastic russian wwii movie like most russian wwii movies the is incredibly harrowing it's also dense in its symbolism the story follows two and boris and who go on a mission to search for food on their trip they are spotted by german soldiers who wound in turn kills one of the germans which leads to trouble for the two and everyone else they later run into the greatest success of the film is its vivid sense of place russia is frozen and snowy and it's hard not to feel that cold go straight to your own bones keeps her shot close to the characters every of their faces it was probably not the choice but the film is framed 1 33 1 which gives the film a sense of while the entire film is quite an achievement i did feel that the first half was stronger than the second my main complaint about the movie is that it develops into a very christian allegory by its climax i just don't think the symbolism adds much to the proceedings especially when i was already intrigued by the debate between the two it's not quite fair i was the pros and cons of their argument i began to lean toward the point of view of a certain character and then the director pops up and tells me that he's despite some heavy this is still a must see,positive +the only reason i gave this movie a 2 and not a 1 was because for some reason i felt compelled to finish it out basically i wanted to see if there were going to be any aliens any anything at all suggested by the title of the movie the cover of the movie and the beginning of the movie i was very disappointed to see religion being thrown into the mix the way that it was this could have been used to the movie's advantage but i felt instead that the movie was trying to send messages to me finally how big was this wardrobe i became so distracted by the number of different and extremely bright shirts each character had on in every new scene that i began to wonder if this movie wasn't really supposed to be classified under poor comedy br br toe thumbs down,negative +samuel fuller knows war and is one of the only directors in american movie history who could accurately portray the horrific experiences of it in a form like the motion picture his and if that sounds a little odd to mix together work for him as a and at the same time he's always out to tell the truth however brutal or put into melodramatic it can get however deals with the post war experience as we only get in the opening scenes the big boom of war in bold for a point the opening shot is like one big point that seems to continue on into the rest of the scenes a dead soldier on the ground the camera pans up we see another soldier shot down in war torn simple direct language then fuller the intensity with something interesting the title song played over the opening credits as both irony and sincerity and then music over a shoot out between americans and the nazis sgt david brent james best is shot the battle goes on and then it transitions to him being treated for his wounds br br it might lead one to believe that this will be a somewhat conventional ww2 flick somewhat in that one usually wouldn't find and later on to an extent wagner put into these images but this isn't the case instead fuller makes this a kind of movie though not at all in the sense that soldier comes home injured and so on and so instead of really going home brent stays on in germany as he's fallen head over heels for the woman susan pretty good at pulling off the german accent and wants to work in a smaller capacity in the military so he can marry her what he doesn't realize is that a she wants him more for money so she can get food for herself and brother however this gets complex emotionally at the point of revelation to the slightly naive but heartfelt brent and b there's an underground hitler youth called the werewolves who want to pick right up off where hitler ended starting small despite argument within the group by attacking the very government that's now in germany to give them as brent describes a blood with this plus footage from the trials and as narrated i think by fuller himself a quick no punches pulled history of the nazi war crimes piece by piece we get a multi look at a society in the dire of an immediate post war environment while handled it his own way with germany year zero fuller it with layers first there's the love story or what is the tragic downfall of a man who can't see anything past what he thinks should be reasonable that it's his wife and a child on the way that he can't leave until the revelation that he's partly been baker and along with harold as young confused brother perform at with the detail to emotions these aren't very easy b movie parts though they could've been that then another is the political one the struggle of a society to come to grips with being and a mentality which is made to be sure by fuller in respect to making the a total no gray area thing they're evil particularly when they out reason to meet their ends br br and finally there's the of style which is strangely absorbing this is probably one of films which isn't a bad thing considering it's one of his best written scripts as the characters don't talk simply or in too many with the exception of a small scene where two characters talk about the hitler youth as juvenile which is actually according to autobiography probably another to consider in the subtext and the 50s period of movies and fuller shoots this almost in a real european style when he's not going for fight scenes or battles as the editing isn't always very fast and sometimes a cut won't happen for a full minute or longer there's an odd tension that grows out of this especially when there's something said by a character that gets another one wild eyed or suspicious fuller could easily go for a big close up but there's a more sinister cold quality to not moving away from two people in a conversation without a simple over the shoulder deal but when it requires it like the big outside the american military office or the footage spliced into memories of the werewolves fuller can be as stunning as ever br br very hard to find but extremely worth it if either a fan of the director's or of ww2 movies set in germany or even just a history buff is an intellectual experience and a strong emotional one with a cast that is better than expected from a b movie and an attitude towards the that is equally and thought provoking,positive +this is by far the most vapid idiotic insanely stupid show that has ever been on the air and this is coming from someone who remembers san beach br br my wife loves watching reality shows and there was one episode of this drivel where the had to develop a walk the end result was straight out of monty of silly walks sketch i couldn't laugh hard enough br br and then there's the ms banks as in laughing all the way to the she has to be the most annoying self important woman on tv since left the view as if was doing great things for mankind please i've never found her attractive and i don't find her intelligent now that she has the to open her mouth br br someone needs to tell these human clothes to eat a healthy and actually look like real women,negative +as i type these comments i'm watching a dvd of this movie that i just got from a mail order dealer and i'm finding that it holds up extremely well with strong characterizations believable situations and well staged action scenes br br it's been a good 45 years maybe 50 since i saw hell below but the one scene that made an extremely deep impression on me was sterling death scene which several other have mentioned here i haven't gotten to that scene yet on this viewing but i can for what other comments have said once you see sterling death scene in this movie you will absolutely never ever forget it judging from how strong the film so far is holding up i fully expect that scene to live up to the memory of it as one of the greatest death scenes in movie history the movie's worth seeing for that moment alone but even without it it would be a first rate early submarine drama,positive +i was delighted when i saw that my husband rented of passion i love films we both loved the movie we both couldn't stop laughing we especially enjoyed the scene in which the is shooting a photo novel and while supposedly being by a killer with an electric is told to answer the phone and say i can't talk to you right now i'm being attacked by a sadistic serial killer if i survive i will call you back that would make a great answering machine message come to think of it we also loved the lady telling her new found beloved i went to an orgy after the concert but i couldn't stop thinking of you i'm waiting to use that line on of passion is a farce with plenty of high hilarious dialog and eye candy for everyone the film has aged well the 1980s costumes and add to the i would give it a 10 out of 10 rating but i am giving it a 8 for two reasons the first is the scene which involves which includes a shot of a lady herself totally unnecessary and it brings down the tone of the film to hollywood gross out comedy for a moment the second is the suggestion that is sleeping with her father shocking yes but again it ruins the tone of the film still i would recommend the film to anyone who wants a sophisticated and fun time,positive +well i am so glad i watched this on hbo instead of paying for it in the theaters or video store the movie has some points but if you want to make it a worthwhile movie i suggest that you become what the main characters are called br br 2 10,negative +if you like cagney you'll like this film it has the of american integrity at any cost personal or social cagney plays the head of and in nyc cagney goes up against crooked politicians the criminal underground a prominent and simple who add a few to the price of a chicken the chicken scene is hilarious where cagney finds a weight placed in the bird by an unsuspecting butcher the chicken gets tossed around the shop in a hilarious scene about who controls the evidence if you like old there are interesting scenes of phones and even bizarre phone compared to a lot of film made today this is pure entertainment and includes mystery with comedy and a message that honesty above all should be the principle of humanity made in simpler times it reflects a world we can't find today the fashion especially hats and all play a prominent visual role in defining this little film,positive +i saw this movie just recently and i said to myself this movie is bad william shatner is a great actor but he is no director br br it's not just that the acting is bad it's terrible and instead of a plot we have a very bad storyline that is called a plot what i really thought was bad was at the beginning where kirk and mccoy were teaching spock how to sing row row row your boat br br do i have something against william shatner i do not but when it comes to being a director he sucks this film is not one of the worst movies i have ever seen but it is the worst of the star trek series br br i noticed that after this shatner did not return to direct another film in the series they apparently did not want him to direct another film again after this happened br br overall this movie sucks br br 2 10,negative +the worst part about this film is that it did not have to be so terrible br br they had a nice budget though so do many films they made it look slick and pretty and best of all they had the 21st century lesbian audiences who would embrace a lesbian positive film and yet the writer and director went out of their way to lift every single film bit about lesbian torment and confusion at schools you know the place all lesbian love lives and dies br br this is a theme that has been done again and again and again in film but something that viewers if one uses this voting forum as a clue cannot seem to get enough of br br every element of this story was so over the top phony and contrived that it was painful to sit through the lead characters say it all the crazy abandoned genius rebel lesbian tough girl well they took a super pretty femme like and tried to rough her up but it didn't stick much pretty rich girl who is destined to her br br watching them every step of the way is character 3 a dopey well meaning wide eyed good girl i say because she shares her every thought with the audience via the most inane monologues br br her lines seem to have been written by a fifteen year old though they are trying oh so so hard to sound like how a fifteen year old would really um you know well talk hearing them make love with their noises was um you know like well okay she says about her 2 roommates who roll around in the bed next to her br br later she asks graham greene the accomplished native american actor who is completely wasted in a roll as a is it wrong to care what people think br br sorry but is she a teenager or is she age 7 br br granted as polly the tortured dyke others do an okay job for the horrible lines they are forced to utter has a nice energy level and is obviously very comfortable in front of a camera she would do well in a decent project so this is in no way a criticism of the acting br br but this story is shameless in every single stereotype about lesbians all rolled into one character they couldn't stop with her polly being an angry crazy passionate secret genius who finished problems for the speechless teacher oh but that's after she with the teacher who her of br br that's a word they males use against us women she says out of the br br is this all the writer could come up with or maybe we should ask why stop there br br and co went on and made polly a poetic dark child who with wild by screaming their name in the woods br br cue the slow motion sci fi atmosphere br br then we have her writing to her birth mother most lesbians are love in case you were in the dark br br then we have two teachers one uptight one a zany type with loose neck ties who around all of the action the school looks awfully big for just 2 teachers and give dark child bird girl tense looks i wonder if something well you know um funny is happening between these two teachers br br there is simply no excuse for something this poorly done happens but surely the writer and director know that lesbians exist in much more sophisticated times than this schlock br br i cannot reveal the ending out of respect to those who force themselves to sit through the end but if you are not laughing i can only guess you are crying and not for the right reason and i don't mean the make out scenes,negative +although it isn't half as hilarious as chicken run the new wallace and comedy the curse of the were rabbit out of more laughs than most live action comedies british director nick park who created the wallace and characters and co director steve box rely on the old fashioned stop motion method of animation known best as to create several visually adorable characters in more than enough side splitting scenes about a mutant out to every in sight amusing as its whimsical storyline is the heart of the hilarity lies in the imaginative way with which park and company have constructed characters and gags out of a brand of clay called basically every shot that you see in the curse of the were rabbit required patient souls that made minor in the clay characters for a series of individual shots that into a montage of hollywood as a form of animation as far back as the silent movies of the 1920s before the industry turned its back on the complicated process studio animators managed to out a mere three seconds of footage per day for the record the curse of the were rabbit took five years to make the looking characters with thumb clearly visible in their respective clay look incredibly funny with their ball eyes and over biting mouths interestingly emerges as the funniest character a lovable with no mouth but an face who says more than most of the talking characters br br wallace and are respectively master and as the human half of the duo wallace is a looking moron without a clue who somehow manages to machines that do some rather incredible things one of the funnier scenes shows master and by a system of and spring that dress and feed them meanwhile is the animal half the running joke is that shows more common sense than his genius of a master as good as his ideas and are wallace could not succeed without the loyal giving him a hand our heroes run a protection business called ' essentially they must protect every for miles around using an looking device called a van that literally sucks out of their ground and into a huge glass no wallace and don't kill the instead they keep them as pets and wallace experiments with an o designed to into this frankenstein meets the fly approach poor wallace into deep trouble when he bits of his brain with that of a rabbit not long thereafter a mysterious terror stalks the on full moon nights and creates chaos for everyone as the contest approaches br br initially wallace and appeared in oscar nominated film school project a grand day out 1989 since then has released ten other animated shorts among them wallace and a close 1993 and the oscar winning wallace and the wrong 1995 curse of the were rabbit not only because it represents the big screen debut but also it runs a 85 minutes the first two thirds of were rabbit contain better gags than the last third but park and company never miss a chance to slip in an adult joke that kids won't get but grown ups will appreciate wallace and the curse of the were rabbit is raising fun,positive +johnny crawford is great in this movie of a troubled teen coming of age in a generation that was in the middle of a cultural and spiritual billy graham does a good job of portraying life in this sweet sometimes corny but all the way sincere flick he gives us a look at not only the social scene but gives good solid advice that holds true today about morals decisions the generation gap teen dating some of the that are given in this movie are astounding they sound like today's just to see billy in his younger days is worth seeing it's an awesome movie it made me realize that human nature does not change even though hair fashion and language may change humans are still struggling with the same issues they have been struggling with for thousands of years,positive +i knew as soon as i saw the first trailer for black snake that i would have to see it i was not disappointed in the slightest in the film which was written and directed by and creator craig it tells the story of a broken blues man and the he aims to cure not just for her sake but also his own yet it's so much more than that it's complex and rich and it manages to you in a gritty blue without making you feel like you need a bath afterward br br the characters are for the most part and very well written and performed the accents and the dialogue were carried off however there was one weak link in the chain justin timberlake the best i can say for him is that he can pull off crying it's a rare male actor who can cry convincingly however was flat but as an actor he was trying very hard i would definitely give him another chance br br and samuel l jackson and christina respectively have a great chemistry and a great respect for each other this is one of those films where it doesn't matter how good one actor is if the other one isn't up to the task and luckily both of the actors were up to the task br br the music was very bit as good as you would expect especially when mr samuel l jackson sings the blues phenomenal br br on the technical side all was brilliance as far as i could see it was well edited well shot and well mixed everything was great the character and set designs were just right the casting of the supporting characters even justin timberlake and especially kim richards was spot on loved it,positive +here we go another pop star breaking in to the grand tv land and from my observations from her pop careers directors saying yeah your great you could be a real star maybe some day you'll be in the a list movies they would do anything to expand the show there just not a pretty face but have an acting ability as well almost overnight has some how found the ability to act by watching actors like james dean or clint please give the real people in the world that have to sit behind that box and have to suffer pop stars in trying to act please stick to your pretty pop videos with your and don't insult the british with your efforts as an actress anyway i'm going back to my working class job and think to myself god i could do that but yeah remember i'll be working till i'm if i live that long and yeah you put your feet up girl with your every three months marry into money right,negative +this sequel is brilliant and is the last film donald dr worked on before his death i loved the new direction the film took with the story instead of just michael myers wanting to kill his family i love this whole series and apart from the first and second movies this is by far the best,positive +this is better then the first the movie opens up with sheriff sam then sam and anne pack there up and head to the while jack along br br people are shot get glass through get by get stabbed with eyes out head explosions shoved into faces throats to death killed by arms are ripped off by anti freeze down hit in face with and pans fingers bitten off through mouths bitten on the neck exploding people and shoved in br br the are hilarious they put it into a and turn it on then it says was they put in in a thing and it gets burnt br br this is just a great movie then they start thinking of other ways to kill it and the replies not br br it was worth then ten bucks spent to buy this br br 10 out of 10 stars,positive +this movie was so awful i don't even know where to begin the only positive thing i can say about it is that luke perry gave a good performance the entire movie was all over the place there was no explanation as to the cause only theories of the or for their or why it would work it was ridiculous all the characters and relationship between them was so cheesy you just wanna laugh there was just no background to any of them the love relationship seemed to have been added on to the script it was so awkward there's an army man big black general with a permanent in his mouth with the i'm the man attitude such a pathetic bad guy the two who are supposed to be geniuses are acting like two 16 year old frat boys and then to create some action they decide to drop a rock on shoulder and for the rest of the movie he's as if he was dying of a or something and then plays hero scene of all to help the plan which is to do who knows what its never a good sign when you find yourself laughing out loud in the middle of the dramatic scene in a nutshell don't waste your time,negative +the story of farewell to the king is intriguing an american i had the impression he and his 3 were only trying to escape capture in the as their desperate escape by raft to is not your classic but no sooner do they come when they are discovered by the japanese character a sergeant has only moments earlier walked down the beach alone and was not noticed and incredibly no one noticed his in the sand which would have led the japanese right to him but anyway nolte is taken in by a tribe of and becomes their king after another so he's out of the war then the british show up and want the tribe to assist them in fighting the japanese br br unfortunately ruins an interesting story instead of acting like a former soldier thrust back into the war now with a tribe of warriors under his command nolte acts like he was raised by the tribe he speaks as if english is almost a foreign language rarely using he makes sweeping gestures when he talks and acts like he is one with nature as if he was raised in the jungle br br there is plenty of action and many interesting scenes with the british with nolte and the tribe but character is never believable it always looks like he's overacting he needed to be a little more of an american soldier and a lot less of a as it is he comes across not as a regal king but as a lunatic who has forgotten who he really is but that is not the intent of the film as the script has him being admired and trusted by the british there is never any suggestion that the british thought his behavior was strange he is simply viewed by the british as the leader of the tribe thus it always seems that character isn't fitting in with what's supposed to be happening in the film br br another actor might have done a great job with the role delivered his lines and made it an outstanding movie but nolte ruins the film by up every scene and appearing to not understand what his character is supposed to be br br what a waste,negative +this was one of the most emotional movies i have seen passion pleasure pain despair sorrow healing and love br br the entire movie was everything was done so well the adaptation from the book the actors the sets the camera shots br br this movie touched me deeply in so many ways it reminded me of the despair that your love can have and the time it takes to that wound you may love again but will always be the pain that comes with br br is this not one of the most important age old questions br br is it better to have love and lost br br than to never have loved before br br,positive +i have reasons to love the great users of a camera fluid direction of action lends itself to fast paced adventure and comedy narrative but such a skill in the hands of a king or an anthony mann can also be applied to idea level work this is paul masterpiece its storyline can be in a single pair of sentences general hector is setting up as near emperor in northern mexico and steals a huge cannon from general he sends his crack mission unit divided but determined led by george to get the cannon back and bring back alive to put an end to the rebellion charismatic plays the ladies in the piece are giovanna and york with the

betrayed when set up on his own the danger is when brother as advance spy is captured and tortured to death while he has to watch and he decides he needs to kill the attack that captures the cannon when orders are not by a regular army type is one of the most visual and staging achievements in cinematic history the of the revelations there and the actions that win the mission team a chance at victory or almost victory are presented this is a beautiful color adventure film with unusually strong costumes acting lighting art direction sets and music by elmer the script by stephen is probably his best ever for a feature film this is probably the most underrated major western at the moment but i have always appreciated its heroes as result getting hard workers but as reminds his group on

production at around only 80 minutes probably produced on a very limited budget but a success which should see directing again for the big screen some publicity for the film seemed to suggest it was set in the 50s as per novel but obviously this is not the case recommended viewing,positive +if corky st claire in waiting for had directed the citizens of in a horror movie with comic undertones the result would have been very much like the monster br br to be generous this was the longest hour and twenty minute movie i've ever seen to call the pace is to be kind br br almost nobody associated

been treated to godzilla vs the monster br br so far so good the monster is a creature at least fifty feet tall and has the capacity to tear the town apart instead it steals garbage br br central to the premise is the idea that this monster can a small city and leave eight foot long behind but not be noticed by anyone there's a nicely conceived scene where it walks through the middle of a carnival at night but somehow nobody notices br br the only person who sees the monster until the final scenes is george the town drunk all through the movie i hoped hoped hoped that george would be torn to on camera but this didn't happen in fact nobody gets killed george supposedly sacrifices himself to save he's tied to a helicopter to lure the creature george worse than garbage and the monster is attracted to the br br the leads are a group of high school students there's pretty and her boyfriend and some bad boys who surprise surprise whip themselves into shape to help defeat the

tears up a building nice work and nobody sees him but george then he attacks the high school during a dance and grabs and carries her off just like a certain very tall ape has done several times most

own may well live in that suburban house and scenes of people in their may well have been in their own br br they may not be great actors but they are real people nobody is stunningly good looking in fact i'd that four out of five of the adults on screen wear glasses since this is the mid seventies we see some really bad clothes and some of the men have bad facial hair one being interviewed before a meeting at hall has such a loud tie and that you think he's on his way to play in the music man br br and that got the movie two extra stars zero for the story two points for the sometimes decent special effects and two points for the fact that people in the community actually got together and did this they can actually say they've performed in a movie despite lots of stage experience and working behind the scenes in live television i can't say that and i'm happy for them br br remember those great old movies with mickey rooney and judy garland at some point somebody would say let's put on a show aunt has all those old clothes in the attic and we can use uncle then they'd do with sets and costumes that would cost well into seven figures if today br br that's the spirit that the good people of had for this project and bless them for that,negative +but you probably have seen it or else you wouldn't be here it's so obscure that you probably stumbled onto it like i did because this little known gem receives no word of mouth br br from the very beginning you know how the storyline will shake out but watching as our innocent nurse puts the pieces of the puzzle together is high quality entertainment most horror films viewers with graphic displays of torture but don't look in the basement plays it subtle which makes for superior suspense note to horror filmmakers some of us do like subtlety lovely and nurse charlotte takes a job at a but is when she learns that the head doctor who hired her had a gruesome accident and she is now the to a mysterious doctor who we all

that once again sends ex wife daria to the movie priceless technical 5 of 5 br br wrap up a nearly flawless giallo that suffers from a slightly unnecessary in switzerland that delivers all the visual thrills that fans br br overall 4 of 5,positive +finally got to see this movie last weekend what a disappointment it barely reaches made for tv level given the list of actors i would have expected something more sophisticated the movie lacks a good story well actually any story for that matter it has no credibility instead lots of predictability save yourself the money and the time,negative +red in his first starring role plays who plays 'the on a radio show he writes the murder mysteries and as 'the them joseph jones conrad is trying to figure out how to perform the perfect murder on someone he kidnaps his girlfriend ann and another girlfriend virginia grey he tells to write out the perfect murder or his girlfriends get it br br very funny and enjoyable movie fast moving it's only

fun as girlfriends all three of them play off each other perfectly their verbal is the highlight of this also fun to see eve in a small role br br well worth your time,positive +if you're a north american looking for a here it is was this spaces visits there were way too many stereotypes little attention was given to character and plot development yawn highlight of the film the flag throwing poor guy i thought he was going to loose an eye,negative +when does the hurting stop that's what i said somewhere between the beginning and that other part of the movie that really sucked this film nearly all the life out of me and i have sat through some really bad movies coming from a true puppet master fan i would expect to hear myself say this but it's true the plot is inane the special effects awful the sound track the most i have ever heard oh i almost forgot about the acting it was so bad that i forgot it was there at all said the only redeeming factor in the film is the puppets themselves they truly are the stars and could out act all but guy himself he is the and although you can see their and strings they carry me throughout the painful start to finish of retro puppet master in closing is for true fanatics who happen to be br br roach br br,negative +i love this movie is it on air anymore what can i do to get it on air again because i miss this movie when does this movie air again i love this movie so much does anyone know how long it has been since it was last on disney it has been a very very long time and i am so sick of waiting i want to see q again i swear

i miss all the good movies and they don't have them anymore if anybody finds out if q or any good old disney movie comes out will you please let me know my email is com no blank space thank you and i hope you want this movie back too have a great day,positive +i just got done watching the edge of love by the way this is one of the worst titles so far this year and it felt like a chore watching unlikable looking character made me cringe even more throughout the coarse of the film br br it took me four nights to watch this it was so boring the only good thing about it was cillian murphy he's always good believable and is severely under looked in many films this however was just not good enough for him br br apart from the unlikable characters boring storyline the plot was also emotionally unsatisfying i felt like i spent my time watching this for nothing which i did i should have done the smart thing and turned it off but i kept it on out of respect for cillian murphy and the great cinematography,negative +i loved this movie when i was a kid i saw it randy did a good composition of the soundtrack david is the father and recording manager the consist of alvin who is best known for playing the simon who is a bright and theodore who is the youngest and is always hungry there is a lady known as miss miller who looks after the and has 3 daughters known as who all have the same character as the my favourite songs from this soundtrack include diamond dolls the girls of rock roll the touching my mother alvin really wanted to see europe when dave had to go there for business the meet the playing the around the world in 30 days video game which led them to race each other doing the real thing,positive +i recently watched this movie because i'm a big kinski fan but oh my god don't get me wrong i love this guy but in this movie his whole acting is just simply a to work but fortunately he isn't the only one to blame first of all the complete storyline is totally weak dealing with a looking for a murderer while kinski is stuck up in jail for a crime he did not commit that's all all the dialogs and characters are so bad it's making you scream but maybe that's the fun of it all if you know the kinski biography it's obvious that kinski didn't care about those movies at all especially all his western roles he just took the money and that was it again this whole movie is totally weird only for hardcore fans of the genre,negative +as a massive fan of it goes without saying that i have seen this film numerous times however i watch it purely for the concert footage the rest of the film is um pretty dreadful sad to say br br famed rock music film director da followed mode around on their late 80s music for the masses tour which promoted the superb album of the same name the title 101 mostly from the fact that the concert material included is from the and final concert of the tour at the bowl but is also a reference to the movie being a on the band and how it ie mode 101 amidst footage of the playing live and exploring america is a second story thread covering a group of fans who've won a competition to meet the band go on the tour in their own coach bus and attend the finale gig br br now as i said above the concert footage is great mode are here on top of their form as stadium rock gods which was a somewhat unusual achievement for an band back in the late 80s though the film catches the band before they recorded their 1990 masterpiece there are still countless excellent tracks seen and heard here behind the wheel the never let me down again everything counts just can't get enough from the vince clarke years shake the disease and many more br br when mode are they are brilliant when they are not they're well very boring nothing even vaguely of interest happens to the as they check out the us in the dying days of the reagan administration as an example the highlight of the material is a visit to a country music store to buy not exactly thrilling stuff i know all bands don't have to be wild and reckless idiots but these guys make the mormon choir look like br br the only real excitement comes from various clips on the lead singer dave comes across in 101 as being mildly psychotic talking about a violent power inside himself he can't control a bizarre rage attack involving a taxi driver and so on there's one point in the film where he throws a donna at some poor guy truly embarrassing the man clearly had issues back then which thankfully have been resolved martin gore and andy are presented as very clearly talented but also utterly men while the somewhat enigmatic fourth member alan wilder is the only one of the who pulls off the rock star persona with any sort of br br and as for the thread well it's unwatchable let's not kid ourselves maybe it's just because it's all so very late 80s but the of young do little for me but raise a feeling of they are to a person shallow and vapid people whose antics are banal when they aren't hide your face let me nothing happens in the footage that isn't that is of any interest nothing endless scenes of kids their hair arguing changing their clothes getting lost in cities on the way to and finding their partners in bed with another competition winner makes me wonder just one thing if cure fans were this mind dull back in the love the youngsters have for the band is something i can definitely relate to and is at times but if what we see was the most interesting stuff out of what was filmed of them then i'd hate to see the br br but the music is all that matters and in this regard 101 excels the concert one of their all time best makes the film worth seeing the recent dvd edition of the movie comes with a bonus disc containing what remains of the concert footage a good 80 of the performance and thus makes the dvd an absolute must for fans the audio commentary by the band minus wilder who left mode in the mid 90s on the first disc is also oddly far more interesting than the film itself br br as a document of the boys from during their idol period mode 101 is but if you're looking for excitement you're better off getting the accompanying double live album now available in super audio cd format,negative +this review contains spoilers i didn't have any expectations about this movie i pulled it off the video store rack with the movie white noise br br first the credits for this stupid movie run about 5 minutes into it the pacing from start to finish is the main don't like to wear a and the director appears to enjoy the effect as anna the stairs if you like movies for this one has a low level buzz factor br br second it's nice that the movie rips off elements of and other horror genre but in better movies there is at least some rational or consistently irrational behavior this stinker tries to establish some sense of and reality but then you have situations where no one calls the police even though they've a treasure of potentially evidence and are nicely spelled out in a book on like on buffy i was waiting for miles to show up and give some on how to a certain demon type of so and so br br the premise is that it is possible to open up an age of darkness where creatures that crawl on the ceiling can cut your throat or turn the meat effect on you ho hum to do this you need to have a circle and then have seven kids who must have their throat cuts by people who love them this opens the world to the age of darkness at least that's what it says in complete detail in the book of ancient occult which raises the annoying question of uh well how did the ones who wrote the book know and if this is what happens would you really leave this information in a book you can take out from the library much less get it from a library in a world that is not covered already in darkness an age brought on by who could have performed this like much earlier using the occult practices to bring the world to darkness for 2nd edition it turns out the father in the story is the child the one that ran away from the ritual 40 years ago he was released by his father who is the doctor grandfather in the movie who wanted to try the ritual with presumably other stupid parents who just wanted to see if dumb sh t like this opening the world to darkness actually works the grandpa let the father go because he didn't really love him stupid stupid movie written by a moronic director who appears to think he's some kind of auteur there's also a scene in the movie where the kid appears with big on his face and the mother grabs him and has this total lack of reaction the whole movie is like this people seeing really weird sh t going on and not to it in any sort of normal way must be bad plot and direction br br anna does her best to play her character realistically without cracking a and she does look in a top but at several critical moments in the story her character doesn't bother to call in for back up you know more of the same i will walk into a likely demonic evil situation without any knowledge of defense or help from others carrying or even though i sense impending doom and even dumber as it may seem even if you bring on the age of darkness these creatures who make you bloody can't attack if you have a light source but they appear as people you know and tell you to turn off the light source reminds me of the video game alone in the dark maybe this movie is a rip off of that concept br br the best actors in the film are the young kid and anna they both die at the end the entire family dies the darkness creatures lead them to their death but really the stupidity of the characters in the family was the main cause of death the other adults could be with any other actors from the red shoes series of fine cinema br br so to wrap up the worst things about this movie are the stupidity of the characters in around in an obviously situation the really crap plot there is an old architect in the story who designs a house with a hidden in it the architect has suspected from the beginning there would be occult sacrifices in the house but doesn't tell anyone because well no real reason they couldn't find the kids but he didn't bother to tell authorities about the hidden rooms which he designed into the house but he does like to hang around the house for a 40 year period because he about what is going on inside the hackneyed use of scare more children standing around in the dark or only showing up in photographs and blood on the and the of the director which when you see him in the dvd features describing his crap work as a new and original rendition makes you understand where the real horror of this movie lies br br is it entertaining at speed on a dvd player with the subtitles turned on it can be entertaining until your reach the end and realize the movie is crap otherwise it on the cinematic equivalent of a shake the empty are horrid br br the movie gives the feeling the director must have seen the ring and wanted to attempt to create something similar in mood which in this respect the film fails miserably and so also in this respect it is my opinion that you suck at what you do,negative +you don't review james bond movies you them rate them according to how well they meet expectations there are certain things one has come to expect even demand of a bond film and each individual effort either delivers or it doesn't so here are ten elements that make a bond film a bond film and even though never say never again is not technically part of the official bond filmography the mere presence of sean connery returning as makes it something more than merely an member of the series anyway here's how it rates on a scale of 1 to 10 br br title never say never again the clever title has no apparent link to the actual storyline but is instead an in joke reference to sean to never play again after having been back once before for are forever whatever the case it is a catchy title 8 points br br pre credit perhaps trying to avoid any obvious parallels to the official series of bond films there is no the opening scenes are just shown behind the credits and even that is disappointing yet another oh no bond has been killed 4 points br br opening credits other than a screen full of tiny they didn't even bother trying to jazz up the credits with graphics or split screens or interesting camera angles 1 points br br theme song as written by michel and sung by hall never say never again would make for a perfectly pleasant part of a particularly long elevator ride as a bond theme it's merely okay 6 points br br bond james bond appropriately since this film sees connery being back into service as bond after a the story begins with facing the question as to whether bond connery is still up to the job happily connery more than proves himself ready for bondage again though he is a bit sporting a bit more and wearing a slightly more obvious he seems to have no trouble back into action all in all it is one of best and most relaxed turns as the character 9 points br br bond babes even in the best of the bond films the female characters aren't given much dimension they exist largely as necessary props for use future oscar winner kim basinger is granted a great deal of in creating her character of domino and the film benefits from this she does a nice job and she's not bad to look at either 8 points br br bond villain the reports of his death being obviously exaggerated is back at least for the moment showing he has more lives than his one time jesus turned stereotypical villain max von isn't given a lot to do in the role but is a presence nonetheless but he is overshadowed by a wonderful performance by maria as after a string of banal bond villains it is so refreshing for to gave a performance that is both subtle yet evil funny without being campy ruthless without seeming cartoonish his ranks right up there with as one of best villains 10 points br br bond baddies what can i say as played with all the bold style of a particularly flamboyant drag queen barbara through the film displaying a mix of self amused evil and more than a tad of pure psychotic insanity bond has crossed paths with a variety of most of whom have been so easily of that they existed more as amusing eye candy than as characters but few to exhibit such a for the dramatic or such fierce determination even her demise is spectacular even by standards 10 points br br sinister plot as a remake of sorts of the film does seem a bit been there done that nuclear are stolen and major real estate will go if all the countries of the world don't pay a multi dollar but at least producer kevin was lucky enough to find himself forced to remake one of the weakest bond adventures by comparisons this effort blows out of the water and despite the absence of many the film succeeds on its own 9 points br br production values the film starts out with an uneasy style like a tv movie trying to be more than it can but as the story progress the film momentum and a sense of purpose making it a superior adventure 8 points br br bonus points there are several odd changes that sets this bond film apart from the official series miss is hardly acknowledged as played by edward fox m is a old with no respect for the double a of how would later play the part and q suddenly has a cockney accent and is all buddy buddy with bond and there is a curious sense of nostalgia throughout the film such as replacing martin with a vintage and a tango dance number that is cleverly inserted into the story and a big rescue near the end is on an homage to the of the lost which was itself a tribute to the bond films 5 points br br summary never say never again is a mixed bag in the really important areas it more than holds it own thanks to hero connery villain assassin and damsel in distress basinger but the devil is in the details as seemingly as the opening credits theme song and such seem the film is lacking because of their absence it all comes off as a faux bond film a very good substitute but a substitute nonetheless br br bond o rating points out of 100,positive +aaron raises the same questions as shakespeare did or does how could they possibly know so much about the inner of palace life here like in the west wing opens surprising doors that are hardly a shock but seem ton confirm our worst fears everything is so casual and at the same time so directly responsible for so many people's lives a tom hanks tells us one way or another that things can be manipulated with semi pure intentions but without the consequences and julia roberts in a blond southern reminds us of the powers in the the subject is serious but the treatment is light intelligent but light philip seymour hoffman as the invisible middle man steals every scene he is in just like charles did in every movie he was in the dialogue is fast but not fast enough for us not to catch up and discover that this is not an ordinary comedy the seemingly casual pace filled with of wit and another of honor in the mike collection,positive +it is so bad i can not tear myself away i keep asking myself why why with every scene br br there is no continuity but then again if you want to make a very overtly homosexual movie with a attitude towards all things big big big boys big planes then you don't have to worry about things like plot or character i am and very concerned that the looks so much like richard it seems wrong to put a look alike in such a terrible movie but i can't tear myself away this movie is the first movie i've ever reviewed that is how bad and bizarre it is it motivated me to join this site i have counted 50 main characters perhaps if i was stoned i could follow this but as it is i feel like i'm in some kind of never ending bad dream where it is always 1988 and we were the greatest on earth,negative +there i am sitting at home in the morning suddenly my brother on what appears to be the stupidest looking movie i have ever seen considering it was the 70's and special effects weren't to this movie just about the definition of crap the stupid monsters the stupid story line and the stupid setting made this the worst movie i have ever seen so bad in fact i didnt even finish it i made it up to a certain point then to see how long i could go without putting a rope around my neck and hanging myself im just kidding haha awful movie,negative +is a film about well and his army of kung fu killer women led by queen he fights to get his club the total experience back from willie green by their kung fu abilities and their devotion to him i liked this movie because of the witty dialogue and also the use of ray moore's ability to to his brothers in rhyme,positive +i'm not with movies oh i've seen so much crap i could watch anything maybe that was the reason i watched this one to the end im big fan of games too but this movie its a disgrace to any self there is the security camera footage of a game play would make it feel more realistic than this movie does the lines the cuts the audio everything is wrong in some scenes you can see that it was filmed in some photo when spoilers ahead people running around does not people sitting near computers i mean would you continue your work if you got ninjas around you oh and the jokes about pirates that's the worst one yet in movies spoilers end at least first one felt like a documentary now it looks like home video experiment you can find better movies at youtube top line don't waste your time and money on this one its as bad as it comes,negative +i remember this film from seeing it in the theatre i recently found a copy on vhs it held up to my memory of it while obviously not a big budget film the acting is quite credible the scenery locales costumes are very well done i only wish the had been in more of the picture but when you see them they are also well done remember was done in those days without benefit of computers some poor devil had to actually put all that hair fake on real elephants the same effect was used on the elephants in quest for fire a better than average adventure film a chance for the star rod cameron to play something besides a cowboy which he also did very well over the years,positive +the first of the italian rip offs of the french soft porn blockbuster though it might be interesting to note that the boot shaped country actually got their first with 1968 starring erika is a very different of fish than the sleazy sequels provided by the late great joe it is much closer in spirit to the now very dated just film from 1973 taking a look at male female relationships questioning such then hot topics as and jealousy all in exotic surroundings unlike director albert thomas aka who also made the hard to find yellow actually a up version of does not present us with drug snuff movie makers or cannibals making for an admittedly less sensational yet far more erotic viewing experience br br photo journalist mae jordan aka lovely born laura in her first lead role following bit parts as a in 2 and an in just portion of the rarely seen flies down to where she's to shoot the stills accompanying an article by noted british writer anne played by the very with a butch that takes some getting used to anne shares an remember when this was made with her italian husband meaning that both pretty much jump anything with a pulse contrary to her subsequent reputation appears positively compared to her heavy breathing at by way of until the pay off okay so she does make up for this lack of at the end when she does an entire male hockey team on the train i kid you not br br production on this classic is quite impressive especially the superb cinematography and musical theme is a solid favorite of anyone with more than a passing interest in the genre a hilarious pop try to make out those totally nonsensical lyrics and have a full worth of fun with the family that turns up throughout the entire film in every type of rendition from slow sexy to hip disco br br this is entirely laura show though billed simply as as was another actress on the same director's 2 she lights up the screen from start to finish not yet to endless rape scenarios as she would be once took over she seems much more relaxed than in later films even smiling from time to time a rare occasion as anyone who has seen some of the work surely knows a flawless rather than as the title suggests black beauty she from dutch india now and is actually quite close in physical appearance to the supposed author of the novel she projects a slightly passive even which somehow her from the her morally in unlike the french film is kept to a bare minimum almost thrown in as an near film's end when tells that he hasn't lost her as he never possessed her to begin with i swear you could hear audiences of the just version whenever irritating mario showed up on screen as it meant we were in for too many minutes of as an for getting the divine sylvia now living in the capital of by the way to the real reasons theaters were packed for years on end later husband now deceased she has appears on the as the constantly drunk huh writer who forces himself briefly on amid the african ruins at some point but no real sex scene though,positive +i haven't seen any other films by antonioni and the people that saw this one with me agreed that it shares themes and imagery with the rest of his works maybe if i had seen other stuff by him i would have enjoyed this one knowing what to expect br br i saw it as an almost complete failure for so many reasons first of all the film introduces interesting deep issues about social relationships feelings the nature of reality versus fiction but this is very often done in the of ways making the characters speak as if they were delivering speeches rambling on and on rather than having dialogues the seem to be so worried that we will not get the point that they prefer to tell instead of showing br br secondly the movie has no rhythm especially in its first half it is not only that it is slow some slow films have been made with an excellent sense of pace and rhythm el by victor or the age of innocence are examples i like but for that to be successful it is necessary that we find the characters so engaging or the story so moving that we can adapt to it this does not happen in beyond the clouds where the first episode seems to drag endlessly and the relationship between john reality and the love stories fiction is at times fluid others abrupt others confusing,negative +this has got to be the funniest movie i have seen in forever guest is truly talented he has a gift for humor i almost died laughing actually when i saw this in theaters i considered walking out because the movie was so dumb but it is dumb in a good way it is funny dumb and this is a really good combination you will be laughing from start to end br br this style film follows an array of characters all competing at the club dog show the cast includes parker posey fred eugene levy catherine o'hara john michael michael larry miller bob jennifer and tons more br br this is a truly funny movie that will have everyone laughing someone born without a personality would laugh at this film it is presented in widescreen to give the image that you are viewing an actual documentary and that is probably what adds to the hilarity best in show 5 5,positive +half a mystical thriller and half the fantasies of a fragile mind guardian of the frontier is an engaging trip that soon strong imagery and a compelling premise is soon overwhelmed by incoherent plotting hackneyed dialogue amateurish acting and the most outlandish and over the top imagery in recent memory here a fish is most definitely not just a fish evidently this is the first feature film to be directed by a woman ms must have been determined to prove that she could be as lurid and explicit as any man,negative +this was a very good 1950s western one of the better ones i've seen in a decade which featured that genre on screen and on tv it certainly had three big actors on the glenn ford barbara stanwyck and edward g robinson it turns out that ford was the star of this film while the other two stars were in supporting roles ford had the bulk of the dialog he also was the good guy while robinson was the bad guy and stanwyck was twice as bad as robinson she played the real heavy in this film and the character she played was a little too at times br br ford handled his starring status very as he usually did especially in westerns he played a nice guy who didn't want to fight was a peaceful man but if you pushed him look out br br the story had a nice mixture of action and not either it had an western setting which was put to good use with the widescreen it also featured realistic people in a realistic setting that credibility with the characters especially the supporting players was most impressive the men way out the women in this film acting and character wise foster and may were weak the only of the production it's easy to see why these two actresses never became stars br br even though it is over 50 years old this western is one you'd still find fast enough moving to enjoy no matter how old you are or what you're used to seeing for classic film fans this is almost a must with this cast and good story highly recommended,positive +this is not a good film by an standards it is very poorly written and the acting is just a little above par some performances are well below par but and grey do a very good job with little to work with br br what was good br br the dance sequences were choreographed very well and as stated above and grey were high points br br what was bad br br the script the bad guys were simply too evil to be believable the best villains are the ones who aren't so obviously evil these guys the nephew the who the girl do and say nothing that would leave me to believe they could be real people perhaps there are guys like them but i sure don't want to see a movie about it br br another scene the first where grey and meet when the employees at the resort are dancing and grey dance together and seem to enjoy themselves the next time they meet is hostile towards her why what happened in between to make him dislike her so when they well together br br and some of those lines i mean come on i at the end when the line nobody puts baby in the corner how did he ever do that with a straight face br br another thing wrong the setting of the 1960's everyone looked and dressed like the 1980's who was in charge of the costumes and br br the music original music for the film was laughable with the exception of i had the time of my life which was a good song br br not the worst film i've ever seen but definitely the most over rated,negative +joan crawford is convincingly as our story starts and of course she get fixed up but she's a bad egg one guy while living out another guy's anti social philosophy all of this takes place in sweden which is truly bizarre it causes anything and everything memorable in the visuals which are freed from having to depict usa but it makes a viewer wonder why every remake since is and rendered by the need to everything there is plot plot plot so that you could in it and making matters worse is a framing device that adds to the movie the photography is occasionally nice with odd angles and quite well but it's overwrought without ever once drawing you in,negative +this episode has just aired in the uk br br what a disappointment the heavy handed touches of humour were ill judged childish and from what could have been a pretty good storyline i cannot believe that jerry bruckheimer allowed this episode to take place i have seen every previous episode of this show and even the episode where jack played his own older self was way ahead of this episode the lesbian kiss was pathetic br br there was also no continuity from the previous episode there was nothing in the storyline investigating dangerous behaviour or possible drug addiction there was similarly nothing written about jack's relationship with ann usually without a trace is pretty good at this sort of continuity br br the next episode needs to be a considerable improvement,negative +one of the funniest most romantic and most musical movies ever definitely worth renting buying especially if you have a taste for older style of cinematography br br the animals and the songs alone will make you smile while watching the movie a definite must for madonna fans o,positive +i used to work in a video store i saw this title in the horror section and took it home as a free rental one night br br this movie was truly awful there is no redeeming quality about it because it actually takes a well respected sub genre of film and just goes about destroying it if the first film wasn't low budget enough then this film truly takes the being mostly and at night therefore avoiding the cost setting of the first film in the first 5 minutes of this film a college runs over an attractive student rather than be the half and the girl mentions that despite being thrown across the cars he up as he approached her that there is nothing to worry about after which he attacks her with a and kills her if this isn't strange enough he wants to perform an experiment upon her bringing her back from the dead and so feels the need to remove her clothing to do so br br soft core female nudity and hair is rampant throughout the film and is to be honest the only real thing to hold the average male viewers interest like the swimming scene in the first film but even having said that this film goes from bad to worse with its bad character acting crappy dialogue and absurd plot turns why introduce a pivotal character who has survived days from zombie attack only to kill them within 10 minutes its just a very very bad film,negative +apart from the fact that this film was made i suppose it seemed a good idea at the time considering bottom was so popular the one thing that puzzled me about guest house was what happened to the lighting there is absolutely no artificial lighting used in this film whatsoever and i watched it on network tv so it t a case of watching a dodgy tape in fact the film was shot so darkly it was impossible to see what the hell was going on but if the dialogue was anything to go by that s maybe not a bad thing,negative +rent this i own the dvd got it for 9 99 a steal being so under rated sure there are better movies movies with fewer or no holes in the plot or action but i don't have that problem with this movie for me if a movie stays true to itself honest and of its flaws and virtues obviously in the name of entertainment then it has its purpose i got me to care because its makers cared the entire movie is preposterous from beginning to end but its makers took the whole seriously and i did not feel manipulated into taking the movie seriously and that is so true because i want to take every movie seriously yet many oh so many let me down for all of its this movie is almost perfect and completely entertaining what a funny screenplay it also has become relevant in light of the events on 9 11 in no way do i seek to the loss but this movie the of the collapse before it happened in ways that we will never see had the movie been made after those events br br it's either gone for good or here to stay wouldn't you agree,positive +and it has also given us watchable films such as and the odd angry shot unfortunately for everyone involved in this the boy won't be joining appearing in either list br br i was looking forward to seeing this movie simply because of the politically incorrect title so politically incorrect that when it was broadcast on bbc 2 late at night the didn't even mention the movie's name so i was expecting something so that my jaw was going to drop in disbelief it did drop in disbelief i found myself not being able to believe that the thought this was going to be a major international hit br br the problem lies with the cast and the script i do know that australia with its small population doesn't have a large pool of actors so i'll be for the most part but this doesn't stop my criticism of nick as steve for this type of comedy to work you must be impressed with the comic skills of the lead actor and i'm sorry to say but nick g just doesn't have the skills i'd never heard of him and seen nothing else he's been in so perhaps he's much better at other performances here however he's just plain irritating unconvincing and i lost count at the number of times he for the camera the jokes themselves are very flat and predictable and getting back to the script it seems very under developed i mean who thought a running gag about a female of work who's having it off in the back of a was funny to begin with you do get the feeling that someone in the production should have been more honest and said look mate this not nearly good enough go and make it more subtle and structured br br i've been harsh and has been called for in this review i gave the movie four out of ten and it would have only got three if it wasn't for the one genuinely funny sequence where steve is watching a current affairs show only for himself flashing up on screen and a this shows that the screenwriters were aware of comic timing and social comment such a pity that they didn't come with a much better written movie,negative +in the aftermath of september in new york this drama about american was conceived as a and tribute to their the story is told with a series of flashbacks where after jack phoenix has crashed through the floor of a burning building and only with captain mike kennedy john travolta via the radio the flashbacks basically show how jack grows from being a seeing kennedy as a father figure to being a legend of course in the present day jack's fellow are trying to reach him but they are too late and in the end he lets them leave him and it to his funeral where he is praised as one of the best they have known also starring as linda terminator robert patrick as morris as tommy drake billy burke as dennis as ray and tim as tony the of the film are ultimately all i could pay attention to and enjoy seeing the characters tackle them the rest is a bit too for my liking adequate,negative +i thought this movie was great not only because of it's storyline but because it was portrayed greatly by the excellent cast i read that drew barrymore wasn't exceptional as because she is beautiful yes she maybe but in the movie she played outside herself which brought on a plain girl searching for who she is in the world the story is sweet and definitely for the hopeless out there i for sure am david arquette is mad as her brother rob and michael is gorgeous as sam did an excellent job as her mate someone who wasn't afraid to be herself i think this movie should get more credit rather than being as a flick,positive +do not rent this movie i ended up buying the previously viewed tape of this for 4 00 that was close to the price of a rental so thought i might as well buy it i'm it out after i finish this review the movie which stars lowe is a music video with few lines of dialogue slow moving shots and poorly done editing i thought i'd be seeing a mindless action flick which is what i wanted to see i didn't even get that this movie is an exercise in slow moving shots no script close ups terrible edited and a poorly developed plot i can't believe that is actually ends with a scene in which they think the audience cares about the characters by the end of the movie we still don't even really know who they are believe the hype stay away,negative +this movie was difficult for me to watch stan looked very old and ill compared to what i remembered and ollie was than i ever recall in another film most difficult though were gaps in the script production where i found myself wondering how did they get from here to there it took nearly half the film before i could deal with the dubbing of non american actors that was also a distraction br br although i miss great actors such as laurel and hardy will there ever be great actors like those of the old studio era this film helps me understand why actors sometimes bow out in their prime,negative +yeah i know my title sucks i couldn't think of any other title x ice is a brilliant first season episode very interesting idea and good acting as well the whole worm looking thing was really creepy in my opinion i've never been a fan of insects so all the episodes are creepy to me x anyway lets go on to the good and bad things about this episode br br the good the thing awesome br br finally 33 br br it was a good idea to put another in the ear though if someone told me they had to put that thing in my ear i think the whole cabin would be dead br br the bad how did the dog stay alive for so long br br how didn't get those black spots or maybe she did but no one saw it br br conclusion very good episode especially for season 1 8 10,positive +after traveling around the world it on me that australia really lacks one thing that other countries have history br br fortunately or unfortunately australia wasn't establish following a war it has not had a civil war and most of its political history is rather boring nothing big happened to mark some sort of turning point in history until the of the government by the general of australia john kerr br br for those who are australian you can skip this paragraph and move onto the next this is for the benefit of curious non australia was by the british as time went on it became apparent that australia was capable of standing on its own two feet the uk granted australia to establish its own laws and so on the law and politics of australia would no longer be provided directly from the british rather australia would be run by in their own right even though the and so on is largely on the british system this shift was in the australian despite the fact that the australian law making but for those who are curious no bill of rights their are two pro crown sections that were included and remain there to this day these are more or less regarded as the powers of the crown king queen of great britain the first group of sections relates to the creation of the office of the general briefly the general is considered the chief representative in australia and is described as the executive branch of the australian government when a piece of law is passed by the australian the states that it only becomes law when it is signed by the general as such the general is regarded by some as nothing more than a rubber performing an and unnecessary function on behalf of the crown the general can refuse to sign a law passed by australian if he thinks fit for instance if passed a law which allows the police to shoot dead any australian over the age of 50 of course then the could refuse to sign it and it would not become the law of the land however this power is and has to date never been by convention which is the buzz word of the events leading to the the general virtually acts at the of the australian government and therefore if the government passes law and the prime minister the general to sign it he will almost always without question in fact by convention the general acts in with the advice provided to him by the prime minister of the day and the prime minister alone the second aspect is section 64 of the which states that the government hold office at the pleasure now the events of 1975 covered in this film gave rise to a on this particular section if the general is somehow with the government and or prime minister it would appear that this section allows him to sack the government which happened in 1975 hence the title of the film the whether the can be as the right to dismiss is a point though that led to rather amongst at the time especially considering that the general is not elected by the people of australia br br now that this background aspect is out of the way let's get back to discussing the film it was well made the pace was patient but didn't drag at all the drama was well contained and very realistic it didn't over the events and most importantly it did not present its point of view from one political perspective on the contrary i felt that it was fair and balanced even though text before the credits that the film makers probably didn't of the decision to dismiss the government but i wouldn't describe the film overall as bias in one direction or the other br br in terms of accuracy it was virtually spot on the film makers certainly did their and evidently read the books and from all the principle players concerned there were a number of details that were somewhat over largely because they took a long time to explain and ultimately had little impact on the events of 1975 so i forgive them for that further i think it was difficult to recreate the public sentiment of that post vietnam war era but pretty much pulled it off br br finally i was pleased that the film attempted to raise individual of both sides without becoming obsessive or over them moreover any that we're raised for example had a great deal of relevance to the story the film makers realised that their task was to tell the story of the events leading to the and not to present a political or opposition in relation to and this was smart because it meant that the film can't be accused of one br br the is probably the most incredible piece of political history that has occurred in australia in its short life i am glad that it has been in celluloid essential viewing for any australian,positive +if you are looking for king kong you your search this is a low low budget movie that was to entertain people in a comic sense here is the most ordinary human who is the only 1 who can save the world from a 300 ton surely you can see the humor in that,positive +this espionage melodrama has a nice almost promising cast and should have been very atmospheric there is a will or an intention of also a want or a lack of it br br sheen plays a who now as an agent he is a loner loved by women but mrs is his mistress plays the generous soviet agent br br sheen and are both essentially annoying does a cameo and so do other known actors mrs is hot but then again she always is br br i will be your true friend and break it to flick is low on suspense and on excitement it's trite and quite boring the good thing is that you get to see mrs naked other than that derivative espionage exploitation,negative +i just saw a tale of two sisters last night and really enjoyed it i've been a big fan of asian horror films recently and think that this is a strong entry from south korea there aren't many jump out at you scares as in the usual american horror film but the director does maintain the off and foreboding mood very well especially in the awkward character interactions with each other most of the scares are more and plays on everyone's there's something under the bed fears from when they were a child but in this case it's the closet and the sink i also liked how the director was able to capture just how dysfunctional this household is through scenes such as the first dinner that the characters have together he's also good at revealing people's inner life and through simple scenes such as the stepmother off her make up in the mirror or her sitting in front of the tv i think this film is mainly an exploration of guilt and the consequences of living with that guilt hanging over you br br major spoilers ahead do not read any further if you do not want the twists of the movie revealed i was following the story pretty well but did start getting confused during the bag dragging part however i think the flashback at the end definitely tied everything together the film is very much like the in the way two of the character's joint guilt eventually leads to mental and br br here's my interpretation of the film the that we see after the girls supposed return to the house is either the of or the actual ghost of that only can see and interact with the initial stepmother that we see is in my opinion a of there is a real stepmother however and she first appears in the film when she's wearing the gray i believe it's the real stepmother that the father is talking to on the phone throughout the first part of the movie and she doesn't appear until he pick her up and brings her to the house the stepmother before that point is imagined by perhaps part of her split personality that explains the bizarre dinner party sequence when the brother looks at her like she's crazy and doesn't remember anything that she i think it was acting out her stepmother part of her split personality the film shows this later in the bag dragging scene and scenes such as the stepmother her make up in the mirror which is revealed later to actually be her make up in the mirror br br i think the ghosts in the house aren't entirely imagined by and are either of or the mother or both in the final flashback it is revealed the was wearing the green dress and had the in her hair when she died this is the green dress that they showed before on the ghost sitting at the room table while the stepmother was looking under the sink also it's the that was wearing in the flashback that appears on the floor when the stepmother is looking under the sink br br the real stepmother in the end gets by the ghost of who comes for in a scene a little bit like the ring after that the flashback scene ties it all together in terms of how both the stepmother was mainly responsible for her death while unintentionally played a supporting role br br i wonder if the mother that sees when she goes up to her room to cry in the flashback is a ghost already perhaps by that point the mother had already killed herself in the closet that's left ambiguous br br other things that are suggested but not clearly explained in the film is that it seems like the stepmother at some point was a nurse perhaps taking care of the mother and somehow may have contributed to her death too it's not clear when her relationship with the father began and whether it caused the mother to kill herself it's also suggested that the mother had mental issues too a nurse the stepmother to this when she tells you're beginning to take after your mother i don't think she meant just physically br br also if we accept that the initial stepmother that we see is actually then there's the suggestion of incest too since the father sleeps with her is that why freaks out and shouts don't touch me each time the father reaches for her in a later scenes is that the filthy things that you've done that she to in a later conversation with the father this film is interesting in it's capacity for different interpretations a few of the scenes however were kind of derivative such as the woman in the black around scene which reminded me of the jerky movements of in the on the grudge films also the final scene where the stepmother finally gets her just is reminiscent of the ring furthermore just the idea that some characters may be ghosts is taken from the sixth sense or the others br br overall i enjoyed it however and it will be interesting to see how the hollywood remake that's already in production turns out i have to be honest i liked both the ring and the grudge so i'm not one of those types who insist that remakes can't be good too one remake that i'm really excited about is dark water coming out this summer i haven't seen the original japanese version yet but both films are definitely on my to see list,positive +if you tried to make a bad film you could not make one worst that this one i can't imagine anyone paying good money to see trash like this in a theater the thing that really gets you is being in looking at the entire thing just for the of seeing how lousy it could get the redeeming of this film was seeing the words the end,negative +this film with fine production values features secrets and how friends use each other henry may long is a very well acted lit depressing turn of the century period piece about a friendship between a ill man and a melancholy talky drawing room dramas are not my cup of tea and all the crying wears thin recommended if you like independent intellectual slow paced type features br br i suspected that the main characters were in love but their connection was so it didn't really have the emotional impact of mountain ' it features some good writing with a scene discussing how to disappear in life but it is truly a dark and depressing film,negative +set in the near future a dark stranger walks into some southern american city plagued by zombies with a group of friendly face inhabitants our stranger learns the harsh realities of city life there are two groups of people the upper classes who safely behind the walls of the city being provided by at the right price the state police then there are our friendly face inhabitants these lower class folks live along side the zombies there only means of survival is to trade goods which they for during the day with the police in exchange for of food our stranger discovers why his world is plague by zombies a new that the for was the foundation the human desire to shed fat caused the down fall of society as we know it these the desire for i e meat even the pet however there was one more grave side affect after death people became with an even stronger for namely human flesh br br with what i feel is an imaginative introduction i felt that this film many realise some inventive material what better way could explain the cause of the zombie race than by a contemporary idea of people's desire to make any sacrifice to change their body without the hard work of the gym however the imagination of this film soon stopped after this exposition this film falls into the old trap of 'i can not imagine what the world will be like when society when you watch this film you do not escape to a different world as you do when you watch planet of the apes original alien mad max or texas chain saw original in this film the alternate society is define by people with hair orange and green face paint and charity shop leather there is no about life in this alternate society just healthy faces and over made up zombies films should allow you to escape not remind you that you need to clear out your wardrobe and take your old to the charity shop br br forget about some of the pitiful acting or the over made up zombies this film fails because it is too polished too and too predictable i have watch films like this since the early eighties if you are going the make a film of this nature i suggest you need to watch again such films as dawn of the dead original and remake threads or zombie to see and experience that feeling of desperation in a society,negative +i may from many people on this board but i enjoy watching mind of the reason i like mind of is the host is not afraid to speak his mind or exploit stereotypes carlos does what we all do with our friends but are unwilling to admit and then some br br has no problem doing jokes about any race religion sex or while he gets a lot of for this it is a breath of fresh air in these politically correct times does not care if he anyone but he is not a racist and even does jokes about his own race br br the typical format for the mind of goes like this there will be an open skit making fun of a person or recent event then comes out and does a 5 or 6 minute stand up where he talks about various issues the show then has 2 separate skits divided by commercials in these skits does a variety of things such as making fun of people giving his personal opinions with a funny twist or simply doing parodies of people events or movies at the end of the show comes out for a minute with either one final skit or something else to say br br people criticize for stereotypes and say his statements are overly offensive carlos only does what everyone else thinks of certain races but are afraid to say as for being offensive he is only speaking his mind i find nothing wrong with that br br the show is not perfect the skits can be not put together the best and sometimes does go over the line in his jokes for the most part however it is a show where the comedian says what is on his mind no matter what the consequences and presents in in a humorous matter so if you aren't afraid to laugh at stereotypes and see someone speak his mind and often say what you have wanted to say then watch mind of however if you are easily offended you should not watch this show because you will be offended or worse yet you might even laugh,positive +yes a real stinker i saw this movie on the advice of my sweet friends who told me that this is a great psychological movie this film makes every effort not to be understandable i was aware that i was in for a stinker after seeing the first 20 minutes i waited since i expected to see something valuable and most important of all i paid for this film the wait was unbearable after seeing the film i talked with my friends and learned that in the intellectual they call themselves under this title of turkey this movie had as a masterpiece yes a masterpiece but in the category of i think that a movie must be self this film is just the opposite keep away from this thing which calls itself a movie burn your money instead of paying for this phenomenon rate 1 out of 10,negative +the film listed here as having been made in 1980 is not the film which is available from something weird video in their ed scare films 5 for one thing the 1980 version is in color has on this disc an earlier version 1972 of the film made in b w for television channel 5 in either way this film is notorious however unlike most other ed films this was intended for television broadcast and viewing by the general public thus the level of carnage has been down it's still a pretty grim exercise in exploitation of bloody death for a educational intent i live in the area and i remember this thing being shown every year around prom time on channel 5 if you're looking for one film that demonstrates the tone of this uniquely american film phenomenon the last prom is pretty typical extremely heavy on melodrama whether it really affected any driving at all is anyone's guess,negative +simply awful i'm including a spoiler warning here only because of including a jokes from the movie there is nothing else to spoil as it is already rotten this was made during what must have been one of for a few dollars more periods when he'd participate in any crap for a few bucks i'd seen this as a 15 year old high school student in 1972 and it then no need to view it again after 35 years i remember it now as one of the top five worst movies i'd seen as a kid as i recall sellers had more of an ongoing cameo role than a lead here but even his presence couldn't the stale jokes lame plot and one ongoing theme revolves around use of his fingers in one scene he holds up his open hand to a group of and by down his fingers the groups for which a hospital exists the the the etc until only his middle finger is left up he says and the patients in another scene to avoid lab he a finger into a and sticks it into his mouth to check for sugar then the gathered around him to do the same which they do he then them that he'd placed his middle finger in the but sucked on the finger and them to pay attention the only reason that i remember this and this movie and am writing this review is that a friend told me an even dumber version of this today if you gonna if not see with george c scott came out the same year 1972 for some genuine marvelous black medical humor better yet read 'the house of by samuel and if you can see the movie version of it which has never been released please make a copy and send it to me i'd love to finally see it,negative +i have enjoyed both of the van over the years and was glad to watch them again br br just as cute and funny and easy to watch and enjoy br br dick was good when he was younger but i enjoyed him more as he got older br br son has been a great one to follow in his fathers footsteps br br together they make a great team and work well together br br i am disappointed that i have not found another murder 101 listed anywhere br br i have seen both of the ones that have been shown i am hoping for more as it is really an enjoyable duo to watch br br you can sure tell follows in his dad footsteps they talk alike and have the same mannerisms br br would enjoy anything they do br br will be sure to watch anything they do alone and together,positive +it's the story of three brothers pulling together in the midst of and loss and learning that the really important things in life are family love trust and forgiveness the entire cast manages to pull in a powerful performance despite a few lousy one liners a great film for fans of true to life problems believable families also worth a look for fans of or sean they both do an astounding job often bringing you to tears take my word for it and rent this today,positive +being a huge street fighter fan and thoroughly enjoying the previous film street fighter ii the animated movie i was really looking forward to this one br br however it seemed that the film had no real sense of direction or purpose most of the characters i could not associate with and it just lacked the intense action that made the other mentioned street fighter film so superior br br there are some good points however the animation is superb,negative +i just watched return from and it was very good i've seen a lot of negative comments about it and i don't think the viewers are being real about it in the television movie business it is hard to get all the actors back for a 2nd sequel or 3rd part we are lucky to have another miniseries that ties into lone d this production was top notch with the original music score and the actors put their hearts into it you can tell if you want to watch d with robert duvall and tommy l j then watch the original return to l d didn't have as much wit and takes on a more serious tone but is totally captivating none the less from the touching moments to the villains this one is a winner wonderful,positive +this movie was awful plain and simple the animation scenes had absolutely terrible graphics it was very clear to see that this film had about the budget of my bill the acting was just as bad i've seen better acting in pornographic films i would seriously like the hour and twenty minutes of my life back in fact i on imdb just so that other people don't get sucked into watching this like i did don't get me wrong though i love sci fi films this one seemed more like the intro to a video game i'm glad i only spent a dollar to see this one the story line reminded me of the movie pitch black a prisoner on a ship in outer space escapes oh my goodness what are we gonna do i would not even let this play in the background of my house while i was cleaning bottom line here you can do better,negative +can't believe that cup isn't available on a proper video or dvd yet i've only seen it once on a dodgy copy taken off the tv and despite not being a fan at all thought it was one of the funniest things i've ever seen br br the famous pitch of wherever it was the clueless coach driver this that i'll take the next exit the pointless plot it all added up to sides br br being stuck in the us i'm desperate for some good british humour but not quite enough to spend the amount that the production company are asking for c'mon get it out on dvd,positive +it must say something about the state of our nation that this programme is one of the most popular currently screened br br the is by such a miserable amoral group of characters as can be imagined everyone is stabbing someone in the back everyone is attempting to commit adultery everyone is trying to cheat someone that or they are being stabbed or nobody is cheerful nobody laughs nobody has a stroke of luck or a really nice day it's hell with cockney accents br br i suspect this programme must be by the it's perfect viewing for the depressed it doesn't cheer them up what it does do is present a whole community of such sad that viewers are moved to believe their lot really could be worse they might be living in br br apart from the above as a representation of east end it is pure the programme makers have evidently never been across town the first thing you encounter on the mile end road is a and this pretty well the racial majority of the population white british are a and rapidly minority a large near the bow road and by tower health care boasts that out of ten members of the community can now see their doctor more ten healthy smiling faces down at the in eight of them are dark skinned br br what's more i used to work with a bunch of dare i say a few years ago and i can tell you that a more racist experience i've never had each day was like an they couldn't pass 5 minutes without some other race or than their own and in terms that were repulsive and obscene and were the small change of conversation in fact their entire and extremely limited stock of upon sex organs and their was a of liberal virtue in comparison br br any programme that to represent native east end in their true nature would be completely for broadcast even after the 9 o clock imagine a script written by quentin tarantino and you'd be somewhere near the mark but when they weren't being they were at least extremely cheerful br br i don't know how such a soap opera came to be this imaginary island of white misery has absolutely no bearing upon real culture whatsoever and if you're of a it will quickly you to tears of grief ordinary actors pretending to be ordinary with cockney accents what's the point of that br br dull dreary and preposterous the most popular programme of an apparently and dying nation br br avoid it like the plague,negative +this is very similar to modern disney cartoons soulless technically good and the usual in jokes for adults maybe it's because this is the first cartoon i watched after laputa castle in the sky but it was quite disappointing br br the plot is contrived and forgettable but it involves and going to the territory to rescue a teenager who then learns and finds love as well oh and initially they don't get on but after facing they all share a deep bond of friendship br br the best bit is to watch out for the little jokes the get all the best ones such as the wife giving a list of furniture and to bring back from the next raid or the not knowing the meaning of mercy literally oh and the dumbest is actually hilarious as much for the voice acting as the dialogue br br for example aboard the ship after a speech by the daughter who is this new guy captain that's my daughter brain your daughter's a man,negative +story involves ancient demon being released upon a small town on halloween night in all my life i have never seen such a cheesy film but it is so d m entertaining you can forgive its bad acting effects direction and script this is the best movie created for the halloween season since the original halloween and when they introduce character for the first time she is butt naked in the shower for like 5 mins goodness they just don't get any better than this rush and buy this tape right away 5 10,positive +victor as the devil surely somebody must have been drunk when that casting decision was made that's not the worst part of this silly mash of haunted house devices but it gets my vote for being the funniest part of it while the film is by no means terrible it doesn't even approach other 1970's haunted house flicks like horror the and the legend of hell house the evil can be entertaining in spots but don't expect to be scared it's better approached as what it is a silly horror film made all the by it's over serious approach,negative +i am a christian and thought this movie was pretty good while the acting wasn't academy award caliber i thought it was good considering the cast has had limited acting experience at the time this movie was made br br the message and the power of jesus christ was explained wonderfully the message that the director was trying to get across which is the important thing not how the characters dressed definitely got through the theme of having the main characters involved in illegal drag racing was a good idea too cool muscle cars btw i think this movie will definitely reach out to a lot of young people br br i would definitely recommend this movie it is a great witnessing tool,positive +rise of the undead starts as some huge nuclear type blast rips through an american city a few people survive in a building by on the door so it'll stay closed keep the out they argue amongst themselves for ages then a monster thing arrives from seemingly nowhere begins to kill them of one by one br br written produced directed by jason shannon one has to say rise of the undead is terrible the script takes itself very seriously but makes little sense the first thing i asked myself was if there's this huge nuclear blast type thing going on outside destroying the entire city why are these people i'm watching still alive why is the building they are in still standing then i asked myself when was something actually going to happen the entire first 20 minutes is set in one room actually that's a bit generous it's more of a as the main character's argue then it turns into some return of the living dead 1985 rip off with a government created virus which turns people into zombies before one of the most abrupt pointless seemingly random plot twists i've ever witnessed which most of what has just happened a complete waste of time then for the final 30 odd minutes rise of the undead turns into some strange sci fi type thing as something which resembles a ball of energy around killing everyone was i the only asking what this floating ball of energy thing is where it came from getting back to what was happening outside what was the reason again oh that's right we are never told rise of the undead is a mess the character's are awful aren't even given names the twist about halfway through will have you your hair out in frustration the dialogue sucks nothing is explained there's virtually no story here the final 10 minutes maybe a bit more of rise of the undead features no dialogue whatsoever the film just suddenly ends br br director's were obviously working on a low budget the entire film is set in about two rooms three corridors the photography is awful they use annoying colour seemingly at random sometimes it really does look like rise of the undead was shot on a camcorder there's no special effects there's some fake blood around but no actual make up effects to speak of there are some cgi shots of the city being in flames which look alright but the floating ball of energy creature thing looks terrible there is one shot early on where two people are sitting against a wall talking for some bizarre reason their heads are cut off at the top of the screen just their lower bodies from the neck down are seen yet nothing else is happening in frame they are not moving there's no else there but for some strange reason their heads are cut off the top of the frame as they talk to each other it's quite an odd thing to watch actually br br with an ultra low budget of about 10 000 according to the imdb shot in two weeks i have to the makers for getting rise of the undead finished distributed but that's where my stop because otherwise this has awful production values is set in about three corridors which are located somewhere in new orleans in as that's where rise of the undead was shot the acting sucks so i won't on it br br rise of the undead sucks it sounds like a zombie film but in all honestly it isn't everything about it is sub par i know the filmmakers were working on a low budget but that's not really an excuse as far as i'm concerned definitely not recommended,negative +a documentary filmmaker explores seemingly unrelated incidents connected by the legend of an ancient demon called the br br from the looks of it the film looks like one of those camcorder movies that have been popular these last few months even one that's going to be released next week activity however unlike movies like and blair witch where most of those movies are in complete chaos and mayhem with all of the this one is basically shown in a traditional documentary style it has tv and interviews and the scares are very subtle well the last 20 minutes where we go into the chaos effect and where the fear factor is raised up tremendously br br and it works the film is very engrossing and it makes you think yes you heard me right it makes you think you have to pay attention to those unrelated details given throughout the film and the payoff is great when in course of the film these things start to one another the film is also very slow moving which in this case is a good thing we as the audience get to the details shown on screen however subtle or blatant they are br br above all it's a frightening little film i'm a person who is scared of ghosts and the more than killers who away teenage victims so yes the film gave me some nightmares there are some images in here that are really disturbing to watch including one closer in the end where it makes you go what am i looking at well it's better left unanswered there are around ten characters in here all of which gave authentic performances in their roles br br the only thing i don't like about the film is the ending because most questions are left unanswered the question that's it went though my mind it left a bad taste in my mouth however the rest of the film is just engrossing and really frightening don't see this alone in the dark because you'll regret that choice also i can see in a couple of years that hollywood would remake this film that will be interesting,positive +seriously i don't understand how justin long is becoming increasingly popular he either has the best agent in hollywood or recently sold his soul to satan he is almost unbearable to watch on screen he has little to no charisma and terrible comedic timing the only film that he has attempted to anchor that i've remotely enjoyed was waiting and that is almost solely because i've worked in a restaurant but i aside from it's terrible lead this film has loads of other i understand that it's supposed to be a cheap popcorn comedy but that doesn't mean that it has to completely insult our intelligence and have writing so incredibly hackneyed that it borders on offensive lewis considerable talent is wasted here too as he is at his most when he is which the pg 13 rating certainly won't allow the film's sole bright spot was hill who will look almost to fans of the recent due to the amount of weight he lost in the his one liners were funny on occasion but were certainly not enough to make this anywhere close to bearable if you just want to completely turn your brain off or better yet don't have one then maybe you'd enjoy this but i can't recommend it at all,negative +i was disappointed with the recent 2000 american remake of this english mini series though it followed the plot line very closely it seemed to leave the heart and soul of the original out not to mention adding shallow preachy heavy handed so my advice is to skip the modern remake and stick with the original it's much longer but gripping and totally well done interesting complex and without the preachy self and it's beautifully shot as well br br i find it that these heartless remakes of great overseas films get so much hollywood at the oscars though i did like del getting some deserved praise,positive +i did not like this movie i rented it hoping it would be something like the kingdom i was disappointed when i discovered it wasn't i also found it just plain the acting was bad the characters where unbelievable and the time jumps were crazy i only this film if your in the mood to see a crazy dude running around but i'm sure there are better films with the same thing i can't believe i wasted my time on this one,negative +this was a great movie and safe for the entire family which one doesn't see much of anymore my wife and i and 15 year old son loved it even though you had an of how it would end it continued to be a fun journey and the final ending surprised us there should be more movies like this,positive +even if i had never seen or heard of co this would be a sweet little movie but my dad was born and raised there and those are my horses you see pulling the so this movie is very special to me a lot of the interiors are shot in buildings and houses i recognize and are very realistic the story is a little hokey but is that kind of magical place where things like that could happen john denver was a better actor than a lot of people give him credit for mary plays the kind of common sense lady with a lot of she played so well in many other films most notably white christmas i usually don't get to go out there in the winter so i like to see this movie at christmas time to tide me over until my next trip,positive +writer director john takes a little known incident from american history and wildly in all the right ways the result is a grand adventure tale that showcases two of its stars in memorable larger than life roles sean connery as the arab with an inexplicable scottish and brian keith as president theodore for the chance to put that big stick to good use br br aided by billy glorious widescreen cinematography and a magnificent score by the always reliable jerry this early effort seemed the of a talent to rank with lucas coppola and spielberg although served up glimpses of his ability in scripts for johnson and apocalypse now his career seemed to take a turn not long after he started directing ultimately on dreck like conan the barbarian and red dawn br br here's hoping that he will again find his way,positive +i purchased this video on vcr tape in a good will store for us 50 cents i have taken quite a few videos i purchased back for them to sell to others after i viewed them considering the 50 cost as a rental this is the only one that will never go back it is an explosion of artistic talent color and sound i don't know if i should calls it circus dance or both it is bigger than life itself they will only be able to do this well for just a few brief years in their life these are the performers for the performers if gene kelly and burt were alive today and saw them live they would be awe struck i would lend it to others to watch but i know if i do that i will never get it back,positive +the best thing i can say about is that it's not quite as bad as i remembered it being on my first viewing br br but that doesn't mean it's good br br this weird sci fi thriller is not quite like any other movie i've ever seen which i guess at least gives it the of novelty but it's a borderline disaster of a movie and one of the worst robert altman ever made on the dvd special feature about the making of it's clear that even altman didn't know what the hell the movie was supposed to be br br it's set in some distant future when the world is in the grip of another ice age the film was shot at the abandoned site of the and i do have to admit that this gives the movie some interesting production design elements even if much of it looks like it's being filmed in an over shopping mall paul newman looking out and absolutely in anything going on around him and play who wander into this futuristic city looking for brother soon newman is caught up in a deadly game of which all of the bored inhabitants play for lack of anything better to do and the rules of which are never made clear to the audience all we know is that the object of the game it to kill everyone else you're playing with and remain the only person alive this gives these inhabitants their only thrill because as one of them says at one point in a only by being near to death can one appreciate being alive br br the movie is slow ugly and actually uncomfortable to watch due to its it's almost as if altman was setting out to make a movie no one would want to sit through there aren't characters oh sure actors walk around speaking lines but none of the lines really means much and the impressive list of international actors altman assembled for this register not a only gives the closest thing to a memorable performance as could possibly be found in a movie like this but nevertheless it does succeed in establishing an atmosphere even if that atmosphere is one of pure awfulness and it is oddly fascinating in the way that watching a man slowly himself to death would be fascinating br br altman really hit a dry spell after nearly a decade of superb films followed close on the heels of the atrocious a wedding and was followed in short order by the not bad but mostly forgettable a perfect couple the by all accounts terrible health which i've never seen because it's not available anywhere to see and the disastrous thank god he br br grade d,negative +many people are making fun out of steven acting abilities and i really see why if i remember fire down below well ok his other films are acceptable regarding to his acting br br after reading reviews about the i didn't expect anything from this film i barely came through fire down below and i read a lot that the was even worse so i was really surprised about this one in my opinion it is one of his very best movies if it had have more action sequences and a couple more fighting scenes it would be the best i liked the story the directing and the actors belle was just incredible she will have a great movie career in the future the few action scenes were very well made and steven seagal was very believable in his unusual role,positive +master is a very unique film amongst john ford's work mainly because it's the only one that is based on a story written by john ford himself the story that was by frank and director's son – patrick ford and turned into a screenplay and because of director's personal opinion regarding it master is the film john ford called the one which came closest to being what i had wanted to to say so is not to say a little but as ford once to lindsay anderson his favourite was nonetheless my darling and not any other br br master has all ingredients one might expect to find in a john ford's film wonderful cast delivering his best not featuring any major stars except the most of all actors – ben johnson very peculiar small characters who provide an obligatory comic relief and master has quite a few of them such as horn blowing sister jane in her shot but very inspired and last but not least legendary valley with john ford's fifth passage through it after my darling and she wore a yellow br br the film starts with two friends travis blue ben johnson and sandy harry carey jr being hired to be masters or for a of mormon who are headed to silver valley a place that's for them like a promised land on their way they are joined by a very peculiar dr hall alan with two beautiful women who are supposedly his wife and daughter and who call themselves actors they are headed in the same direction simply because they were recently driven out of the nearest town and have no other place to go nothing particularly unpleasant happens till they into a dangerous family gang of father and his three sons who are on the run from the of the town where they recently committed murder and bank robbery br br overall master is no more nor less than one more precious pearl in a of john ford's wonderful westerns a must see 9 10 br br,positive +so i got this from the rental store where i work before it was released release is 8 21 just watched it today and now i'm speechless they could have had a decent movie here but they screwed it up in some painfully obvious ways br br first of all the parts with john were funny and are the only reason i gave it above a 3 but they are broken up by bad acting and terrible serious on life between the main character andrew and his girlfriend the annoying it would have been much much better as a straight comedy ala lock stock and two smoking br br i wanted to like it because i think is funny and want to see him do well the story wasn't bad either just not very original but the directing and a lot of the acting was terrible i swear they had trouble keeping peoples faces in the shot and just went with it anyway br br their is when the gun expert another character and says that a dirty harry gun is not a but a 45 it was as everyone knows a br br so see this if you 1 really like john 2 like to watch low budget and poorly directed movies or 3 have too much time on your hands this is me,negative +i was so let down by this film the tag line was something like 'the story of a girls sexual you can only imagine how disappointed i was i was at the time and i took my girlfriend to see it i thought we were going to see a sexy movie that would leave my girlfriend for it sadly that was not the case i guess we just weren't ready for a deep and meaningful movie that required an element of sophistication that we just didn't possess at the time i'm not so sure i possess it now and i have long since company with that particular girlfriend pity really my first love we left the cinema half way through the film my friend who should have known better stayed for the whole thing i still got the required result with my girlfriend the film just didn't help much it would be interesting to see it again so that i can make a more informed critique though i feel the experience has left me for life,negative +cute idea to have do the song for this movie adaptation of book a la valley of the dolls although it's really too bad this doesn't have patty o'hara to spike the story the love machine is dull even the final with an academy award as a fight prop can't save it cannon seems in her heavy make up and fall although her tiny figure is a beauty to behold john phillip law is a block of wood in the lead david embarrassing in gay mode as a flamboyant photographer and where is robin stone walking to at the end is he out to the to pick up some sailors after cannon has his it would be a safe bet in that case love machine the final episode been a more interesting flick certainly better than this yawn inducing opera 1 2 from,negative +before i begin let me get something off my chest i'm a huge fan of john first film project the film a b grade cross of both the terminator die hard may not be the work of a cinematic genius but is a hugely entertaining action film that became a cult hit two sequels a spin off br br judge and jury begins with joseph a convicted killer who was sent to death row following his capture after the so called bloody shootout which seems like a poor name for a killing spree – kills three people while trying to rob a store being led to the electric chair there is an amusing scene where talks to the priest about living for sex but meeting his one true love who was killed during the shootout expressing his revenge for the person who killed her – michael a washed up football star who spends his days watching his son alex practicing football with his high school team and ends up his son's coach but once executed returns as a or as kelly calls a without the whose sole aim is to get his revenge which basically means making life a misery br br let me point out the fact that judge and jury is not a true horror film it is a supernatural action film with chasing using his ability to change form which amounts to david keith dressing up as everything from an elvis a french chef with an accent as bad as his a drag queen a clown a stand up comedian a shotgun which fires explosive rounds an to death although that doesn't stop martin from shooting keith with a desert eagle to pay back for killing wife br br director john does not seem interested in instead focusing solely on action scenes which the film has plenty of but that is the film's main flaw since there's nothing to connect the action scenes together the acting is surprisingly good with keith delivering the best performance supported by as well as paul who plays the washed up cop quite well kelly is annoying as the who tries to help but makes the situation worse,negative +i watched this expecting to see the usual british stiff upper lip stereotypes and was surprised to find the dialogue remarkably natural and with black humour it was more like goes to sea than in which we serve the scenes during the approach and attack are remarkably realistic in their depiction of a fighting ship and the stuff ups and banter among the company well at least based on my service in the 1970s some of the throwaway lines are very witty i'm not joining the band of hope just to please some fish my only complaint is that they didn't show what happened to the irish and his bride to be or the and his i love,positive +i watched the first few episodes a short while back and felt i couldn't take it anymore the horrible looking fight scenes are the worst i've ever scene in my life about one third of each episode is dedicated to flash gordon and his mighty fight moves i know fight choreography from that era isn't exactly up to par with today's standards but this is ridiculous they don't even try to make it look realistic flash gordon who hardly resembles a fighter uses his drunken slow moves and bare fist to knock out four or five guys with knives guns and other weapons give me a break there's also a scene where he does some similar act while in the water basically every episode has scenes similar to that as for the rest of the episode there's not much else i remember i basically viewed it out of curiosity on what science fiction looked like 70 years ago,negative +bergman and comedy don't quite go together some of his comedies are so you almost this film has the odd moment the last 30 seconds being the but on the whole this is a charming rather than funny piece enjoyable throughout bergman casts several of his usual suspects who perform well there is a great scene on the train between david and an salesman which will stick in the memory some of the marriage material is typical cynical bergman but this is bergman in a light rather than dark mood br br this film has its moments and is worth the 90 odd minutes not one of his classics and not the place to start if you want to fall for bergman,positive +is a nice heartwarming movie for whole family it's obviously not a great movie free willy looks much better almost in every of film making possibly at times it becomes a bit naive and the writing and the script are not the best part of the movie but it's a entertaining film with very good cinematography including underwater shots and some important moral messages wood proves himself one more time as an incredibly talented and underrated actor he can make bad movie watchable okay movie good good great and great movie becomes all time classic paul hogan performance also was very good and he is completely fit to his role as i already say above whole cinematography was very good but underwater shots definitely is the best parts so is a perfect way if you want to see nice sweet and entertaining movie if you like me become sick and tired of modern hollywood trash filled with sex violence and profanity you most likely would like this movie br br my rating 7 7 out of 10 feel free for me about any of my comments and here br br sorry for my bad english,positive +for those who have enjoyed the books and films you'll love this film yes i will admit that it does mix some of the books and films but the characters are brilliant and it's not just people showing off their cgi left right and centre i've already seen it several times and laughed my off at it br br of course it contains the main heroes and but this time they have someone new to deal with br br with a sense of humour like that the will go on and on and on bless 'em,positive +i was really looking forward to watching this documentary on what i considered to be some of the most entertaining films ever made growing up in l a during the 60's many of these old black and white films were shown on the local stations i even remember a friday night show called strange tales of science fiction that a different sci fi flick every week this documentary however spent way too much time on the opinions of the four famous filmmakers and how they felt about the classic movies of that genre and how they used them as inspiration in their br br that is not what i was hoping for in this documentary it really could have been a examination of the decade instead of a brief of the most well known films of the era anyone who has studied or been interested in these films are pretty familiar with such as war of the worlds forbidden planet the thing the day the earth stood still etc i would have liked to see some from lesser known films and perhaps some interviews with people involved in the making of these movies i would have to agree the documentary was way too focused on spielberg's opinions and was a type of commercial for his new release of war of the worlds,positive +i have never seen this movie on its own but like many others who have already commented i saw it as an episode of mst3k really terrible 70s television schlock but someone saw its potential because it's just been turned into a million flop called the island br br and to the person who asked whether there were any good movies made in the 70s i want to remind her that it was a golden age for american film with directors like robert altman and martin first coming into their own not to mention little things like star wars 1977 just a reminder that the 70s were far more creative than the 21st century has been so far,negative +for a series that was inspired by kolchak it's ironic that the x files first attempt at a vampire episode should land on it's ass 3 has always puzzled me and at the risk of sounding like the dreadful hans i've often wondered if i'm missing the point the story feels like a jigsaw that has pieces that don't match the box and the result is you spending a evening by the fire trying to match sky that is really sea this feeling remains no matter how many times you the episode and no matter how much attention you give it i know that this review puts me in danger of being dragged to by teenage vampires drink my blood while listening to but that's a risk i'm willing to take i've always been a werewolf man myself,negative +well they sent it on tv between midnight and 2 00 am it seems like the right time to watch it and then go to bed afterwards br br no it was not really living up to my expectations i think the dogma concept is good because the film then gets closer to what's really happening between the involved characters when you cut all the unnecessary effects and mood making music out but then again this concept requires some interesting action between the characters br br i cannot say that i know king the shakespeare version very well if i had known the play i would probably have been able to predict much of the film br br well a crisis can bring the best and worst sides of a character on display and we certainly see some bad sides oh yes the paint of and culture can be very thin and behind this paint you may find an animal br br if you then compare it with for italian for or sang last song you see the same but opposite thing a crisis can certainly bring people to view their life in a more way and if you dare do you may win br br when the film had ended i thought to myself oh that's why i haven't seen it before the film has its own beauty the quality of the work of the cameraman actors etc is good but the script could need something more a plot maybe wouldn't hurt,negative +i was fortunate enough to catch a midnight screening of this movie tonight i must say i was expecting a horribly cheap movie with bad acting and a mediocre plot i was completely mistaken this movie was not only incredibly entertaining but everything about it i simply loved bruce campbell was as amazing as ever the biggest surprise was none other than ted you know little brother he played the mad doctor's henchman to the greatest extent somewhere between physical comedy and clever dialogue he did nothing but shine but i really cannot ignore the magic that is bruce campbell though i did think that ted stole the show bruce did what he does best on the big screen somewhere between the nasty american business man and the tragic victim he displayed the same energy that he has always shown to be incredibly attractive to audiences the movie itself was often interrupted by applause from the viewers the crowd was definitely excited with each little turn that the movie took br br this movie may not be oscar material but my goodness it was amazing i would highly recommend this to any bruce campbell fan also anybody that likes campy sci fi movies do yourself a favor and watch this can't wait till this makes it out to dvd br br take it as you want to br br the fed,positive +i haven't actually seen a lot of movies with holly hunter but seeing her in broadcast news was a pleasant surprise she is a hard journalist jane craig who has devoted all of her time to tv news show her colleague aaron altman has carried her torch for a long time without saying anything the love triangle is completed by tom he is the slightly ex who is the new reporter to jane he everything she doesn't like about news turning it into not serious business much to her surprise jane finds herself attracted to tom br br holly hunter is doing a great performance as the journalist but i don't quite see what she finds so charming about her new colleague tom it's something with them that us from getting up close and personal with him almost as impressive is albert brooks who gives his all in the role of a professional who gives more than 100 percent for his job but doesn't get quite as much in return actually for a while i thought he was steve from police academy 1984 he has a few funny lines and if this was a meg ryan picture they'd call it a romantic comedy br br running over two hours a few scenes could have been edited or left out completely jane's and trip to central america also i'm a sucker for happy endings and had preferred a different ending than just a reunion between the three of them seven years later,positive +okay i just had to sound off on this one like a tremendous mental i've just sat through this film in its entirety br br you'll note that the trivia section of imdb points out that portions of the raising of the were borrowed from airport 1977 this really doesn't scratch the surface virtually all exterior shots of the plane the ocean landing in sinking and even the at rest shots are borrowed from airport all of the raising shots are pulled from including most of the interior clips with the exception of dennis drowning i couldn't help but wonder if olivia might come floating by at any moment or maybe a dead tom sullivan another eye roller dennis name in this film is stevens which is to compensate for the fact that airport plane is owned by the stevens corporation headed by stewart of course br br this is a of actors who don't work much or at least haven't worked in a while which might have been the first clue that it was going to be a real stinker br br i've rated this film a 2 it's quite worthy of a 1 but if this film can't offer any other redeeming quality at least somebody helped max and dennis weaver make their car that month,negative +this is a really obnoxious show it is in fact an example of how low television has fallen since got in style is pretty but she is also extremely rude and has awful taste is a house show the place for sex appeal apparently some males like the show because they find attractive the other boss is not pretty but he's fully as rude and also has awful taste it is unfortunate that so many houses have to be shown while someone is still living in them most of the people who are allegedly viewing these houses before changes are made should be moving into brand new houses or completely empty ones so they will not be insulting anyone most of them like the need to be taught manners i can imagine how awful the british show is since the british reality shows tend to be even worse when it comes to manners and taste br br what happened to the arts and entertainment channel when it started out and for some years afterward it was filled with treats now it's one big trash machine,negative +this movie was definitely scripted with fans only in mind i am someone who has never played the original game and watched it with a friend who was a series fan from a visual and technical standpoint this movie is just as good as the spirits within if not better but from a story standpoint i was pretty lost one major plot weakness that stood out to me was the scene where all of the children dying of were brought to the healing reunion by the three all told there were about 15 kids in all i thought that this was an illness of proportions i understand why they did it that way time budget but it just seemed cheesy after all the explanation about how the bad guys needed to collect all of those who had cells so that could be the version that we had some fan sub from the internet was a pretty direct translation and therefore probably added to my confusion br br it did my interest in however and i spent a few hours on the reading about the main characters and the plot once i read the children things made a lot more sense if you are a video game or sci fi fan this movie is a pretty good flick but like a previous review said it comes off like a 90 minute fight scene you never really get to know any of the characters and the story does just seem to jump from scene to scene without much explanation even though some explanation just might be required thank goodness for,positive +ok i will make this review short and to the point for those people whose mental capacity is perfect for watching this movie everybody knows of motion picture association of america's ratings g pg pg 13 r and 17 for the purposes of this movie i think the should create a new rating standard iq 20,negative +an wonderful film that works on several levels it's a story about a great architect a son seeking his father about very loving relationships and about loss it's also a great about architecture br br very intelligent and very moving a real treat,positive +susan slept here turned out to be dick song as a performer on the big screen of course he directed some more films and appeared frequently on television until he died it's a pity he didn't go out with his performance in the bad and the beautiful br br frank has done so many better films i'm still not sure whatever possessed him to do this one the premise is absolutely laughable br br dick powell is a screenwriter who's looking to do more serious stuff than the fluff he's been writing he had an idea for a film on juvenile so two friendly cops in and 17 year old debbie reynolds on his she's not a really bad kid and they don't want to put her in the system so they give her to dick powell at christmas time br br i mean is there anyone out there who doesn't see a problem the term comes immediately to mind additionally powell has a girlfriend the young and sexy anne francis why debbie reynolds is any competition here is beyond me br br susan slept here got one oscar nomination the song hold my hand sung by don in the background was nominated for best song but lost to secret love br br powell and reynolds do have some funny moments together and moore as and les as his lawyer also get a few laughs br br but it's not enough,negative +alice a living in italy discovers that she has a memory loss and can't recall the last couple of days she starts to follow a trace of memory which leads her to the small town of people in the town seem to recognize her and she's beginning to suspect that the re occurring nightmares of horrible experiments has something to do with her own br br the movie is interesting and the plot is good but it's a bit to slow moving and arty for my taste the plot takes some nice twists and it's really hard to figure out where it's heading is good in her role but even better in flavia the and it's always nice to see star child actor role is too small though this is not a movie for the die hard gore or exploitation addict but still a very nice hour and a half mystery,positive +here is a of a typical ray show br br 1 the awful theme song begins to play and wearing her outfit in this bizarre elevator 2 she begins running around screaming and or insulting the audience then yells at them sit down 3 an awkward monologue br br the next are in any order 4 a segment own horn i e i lost 500 pounds with ray saved my life fashion 5 a totally useless d i y tip i e how to words into how to use your machine as a how to build a tube of with a light on it 6 the of horrible recipe on the unsuspecting audience reaction shots of first bites are never shown 7 a celebrity guest with an awkward interview followed by some obviously scripted questions from the audience 8 a person who gets help from one of i e the i say yes to everything woman the i own nothing but lady and the i can't find time to put on makeup housewife what would they do without you gasp br br reasons that this show should be avoided like the plague 1 ray claims that entire show is many people who have attended of the show have claimed that the entire show is scripted many of these same people have also mentioned that there is even a very strict dress code for the show br br 2 her show jumps around too much where as oprah who is the highest rated talk show host of all time has a definite theme for her show jumps around like an child on crack her show perhaps 10 short worthless segments a show on second you will be getting fashion from and the next will be making gross stuffed spanish with cheese and the next their will be a giant up on stage and the next well you get the picture br br 3 is a poor host with bad ideas aside from her grating personality ability is terrible at best her questions for her celebrity guests are poor and often times not even relevant to the interview and her segments are unappealing and offer little educational or humorous value br br in conclusion you need not waste your time with this schlock it will be canceled soon anyways,negative +there is a bunch of movies that we say must be seen twice in most cases this is mainly a recommendation you understand the movie anyway after the first viewing and watching it for the second time helps you catch the plot twists you just did not notice however for dr this is different the sequence that worked for me was see it first time spend a day in internet trying to figure out what this was all about and then see it second time otherwise most likely you will not be able to enjoy this film to the full extent then you start to understand that this piece is ingenious camera work is stunning and the follows you for weeks br br 9 10,positive +it was easy to get lost in the simplicity and light hearted humor of this year's best family film grand champion the story of a 12 year old boy buddy that with the help of his sister mom and best friend is determined to raise a grand champion steer it is a whimsical journey to the big competition after hokey is grand champion he is for 000 to pay for the kids college education buddy finds out that the next time he sees hokey it would be on a the kids to steal the prize winning steer to save him from the this is where the fun begins julia roberts larry george natalie steven bland tommy guy and so many more stars create the backdrop for all the antics you wont believe who actually won the steer at the he looks good in a mustache the soundtrack is rich with tunes from george natalie willie nelson and more where else can you experience movie stars country western stars and stars only in texas only in grand champion br br it is masterfully crafted simple little film that may be the best movie you see this year the movie opens in cities on friday august 2004 br br another great film from rope the moon and productions is in a keep an eye out on the cable networks for this one,positive +as i sit here i find myself laughing at certain moments in this film go and see this film br br if you've ever been go and see this film br br if you've ever wanted to go go and see this film br br my bet is that the film was from an idea whilst out and this is the product of that one in a million chance that someone remembered it in the morning and had the to follow it through br br in summary then go and see this film br br,positive +and his partner jerry lee are together again in this 2nd sequel i sincerely had no clue that they made one sequel let alone two and for a film that was only slight better than turner this time after he has to mate his dog with other dogs people and wait around for jerry lee to poo real classy stuff i mean come on now the original had at least a few good laugh this one has a one jim belushi just looks old and worn out both belushi brothers were great in the if john hadn't died would he be so bad today like his brother that thought makes me sad for some reason br br my grade d br br where i saw it usa network,negative +the costumes are outrageous and the australian scenery is fun to view but there is an edge to this story a mean edge about drag queens i particularly noticed that in character ralph perhaps that was appropriate since there is nothing good guy like about ralph and his group of queens br br once again we get the strong liberal which says anything goes and if you're not with it or in this case pro homosexual then you are a gasp br br what's really disturbing is the ending when a young boy goes off with his alternative lifestyle father and his gay lifestyle not because it fit the story but because it fit the agenda of the people who wrote the script pitiful,negative +this show uses a rather tired sitcom formula of the fat idiot blue collar with the pretty and sometimes seeming wife and crazy in law s with this show it's fat unfunny comedian kevin james as doug who works as a delivery driver for a service he has a pretty wife carrie who works as legal assistant and father in law arthur jerry stiller who lives in his daughter and son in basement kevin doug is your typical beer drinking sports loving tv watching of a sitcom husband who would rather watch the tube than deal with his marital issues he also has a couple of idiot friends who lend extra stupidity to the problems encountered by this show's couple beyond the few laughs by jerry crazy old man character this show was generally unfunny kevin behavior usually caused the show's problems that usually resolved by his wife this show continued a run of sitcoms with the fat stupid father husband and their pretty wives that all seemed to run on abc for some reason,negative +in the year 2000 keep in mind this is two years ago not four two men had the motivation to create the most piece of art on this side of the br br thanks to cunningham and tom flynn the world can now enjoy second string a delicious tv movie depicting a tale of a tag gang of second thus the title who are thrust into the position of starters due to an order of bad br br because of the direction of both the director robert and the buffalo last minute dan give 'em hell portrayed by canadian actor the super bowl snake bitten bills find themselves in the ultimate position br br with an intriguing mix of internal and conflict a love story that only the fine sport of football can bring and an overall theory that the underdog can compete second string is an excellent movie worthy of viewing every possible moment that it appears on br br the only thing potentially bad about this production is the spelling of the costume first name br br,positive +this is my favorite movie that portrays african americans in whole different light because it shows a different side of african americans that it is not shown in the movies its not the gang bang urban ghetto setting or having to deal with deep racial issues it the whole essence of being young and trying to be successful and having problems with letting your guard down and letting someone into your life and the whole atmosphere gives that great touch that makes all that great its a great script great that you and you just get involved with the character perfect casting with a lot of chemistry and very good acting and i still haven't seen any other movie with black characters that are portrayed in this format the only one that get close is but since its a comedy it it very quickly i give this movie 9 out of 10 and i wish they would keep making movies with this type of attitude about african americans,positive +spoiler alert this was my son's review of the movie which he wanted me to post he wrote this i swear br br with malcolm in the frankie and amanda they get to go to show business they team up on the actor paul he stole jason on big fat liar and makes it in to a movie jason frankie and amanda have to go to l a to get it back dad does not believe that he wrote that so every time they see each other jason asks wolf paul to give dad a call because he wants his back wolf does not make the movie but the president of the company makes it at the end the family and see the movie made by wolf pictures and based on a real story written by jason shepherd,positive +having grown up on westerns and considering the present of westerns on tv and at the theater i was really looking forward to moon br br after watching two nights and not another it appears to be have been shot on a tight budget robert duvall and tommy lee jones level stars are absent there is val kilmer but what the heck is going on with him four or five buildings on either side of the street plus the mansion make up the entire town of austin the is never seen only the inside of the office br br the dialog is often times hokey meaningless rambling the plot line disjointed altogether completely forgettable,negative +purchased this film for one dollar and figured i could never go wrong my big mistake was watching it enjoyed the acting of ice t and the which gave lots of class to this film about los angeles and the world of there is a boxer who kills one of his opponents in a practice ring and who has a career but because of mental problems from childhood and the killing of this other boxer he he gets hired by a who is looking for a bodyguard to protect the girls that work for him at their trade and make sure they are not beaten up this boxer falls in love with the girlfriend and all kinds of trouble starts this is entertaining and it then becomes a big laughing comedy,negative +not much to say other than plenty of wire fu and supposed monks ego about kung fu and caricature japanese plotting to take over china all of this would not be so bad if not for the utterly fake japanese sword fighting if you watched a samurai movie or two you can tell that the japanese fighting in the movie is simply the same kung fu really circus stunt men doing the same things except with a japanese sword however there are a couple of fun moments such as when a japanese woman ninja tears off her clothes in mid flight to a monk and captures him with a fishing net there seems to be a bit of as far as whether the japanese should be shown as completely despicable or if there could be exceptions the japanese protagonist is shown as largely but not beyond cruelty such as when he murders a monk so that he may have his duel quite disappointing with a very silly ending does not for a moment evoke even the semblance of the idea of an epic battle,negative +this movie was a pleasant surprise for me in all honesty the previews looked horrible up until the point where emma thompson and alan appeared so i rented it with but i thoroughly enjoyed this movie it had great acting a few good plot twists and of course emma thompson and alan it's definitely worth checking out,positive +i liked this movie way too much my only problem is i thought the actor playing the villain was a low rent michael of is just a low rent jack nicholson i guess mike was busy that year with 2 the sadly 2 would have been a much better career move it is certainly the best of the series and in many ways reminiscent of that great big screen classic masters of the universe not only does it star the mark singer it also features an amazing supporting cast specifically the second girl from uncle phil from fresh prince of and evil chick from superman 2 it my world and is certainly a must see for anyone with no social or physical forever roll,positive +i really liked this film not so much for the story which was okay but was a bit slow moving in spots but for the incredibly beautiful scenery of and the greek susan sarandon is utterly engaging as the love interest of john cassavetes a man on the edge but the scenery oh oh oh,positive +note this should probably be read only after watching the film br br it is very rare to find a documentary or movie that focuses on the loser deep water does just this making it one of the most thought provoking films in a very long time it does not provide us with a hero to look up to but rather an anti hero who forces us to look into ourselves br br the film is about a group of men who attempt to around the globe and without stopping only one makes it several die one decides not to return home each of them on a psychological journey intriguing enough to merit entire films for themselves yet the most interesting is donald or rather the way that he is portrayed by the filmmakers and our reactions to him as viewers br br by any standards this man should be considered a despicable character yet why is he depicted so why are we so sympathetic to him from the beginning he made all of the wrong choices he his family to get the boat he left at a more dangerous time to get more publicity he ignored all of the despite his lack of experience he chose to lie instead of defeat these choices until the inevitable and final one suicide all for what a place in history a feeling of accomplishment perhaps what is important to consider is whether this mans situation was inevitable br br each individual must ask himself if his natural human drive for fame and accomplishment would bring him to such and i believe that your own reaction to story will offer at least some answer to that question,positive +i get really fed up with sitcoms you feel you always know what is coming so it to be funny on the other hand hi de hi you rarely know what is coming and it's laugh out loud funny i have just purchased the second set of the series series 3 4 and i am surprised at just how much i am enjoying it all again i have nothing but praise for the writers or the actors or the many unseen crew members because the entertainment they provide is well worth the wait the gems that have come from this series and the respect that the actors achieved through it speak for themselves and perry created some pure gold some of which shines through hi de hi,positive +this is the question that roy and ian ask themselves when they discover a parallel world of earth always hidden on the far side of the sun in this 1969 cult science fiction melodrama released here in america as journey to the far side of the sun the plot of the film was by british writers and sylvia anderson the creators of such tv shows as the thunderbirds and space 1999 it is exceedingly weird at times the influence of the twilight zone and even stanley kubrick's classic 2001 a space odyssey the visual effects work of derek who would also later work on superman the movie holds up surprisingly well under the last three decades of special effects and while they are not really on the same level of the kubrick film they are very superb if you don't a star wars type of a film and can overcome the occasionally trite dialogue is a good film it was good enough for me to rank it a and consider it an sci fi gem,positive +there are questions that sometimes over us and have no answer two women find themselves in each other's arms as corny as the expression sounds that is exactly what happens and that they cannot answer their own question as to what their relationship when their very own society has no name to what they are somewhat titled fire is the first of a loosely connected trilogy here linked by the theme of the elements and more symbolic than fire as erotic passion does not make an appearance here since the women the older and more feminine and the younger more come to realize they share a lot more than common ideas and affection for each other and stand for what they believe is their passion for each other despite the opposition faced by their very traditional husbands and families as in water fire is deeply spiritual even if it technically falls into the mode of sentimental melodrama where water much like the weight of the word carries a stronger meaning that ultimately its definition even so it's a very beautiful picture and a strong voice from a strong director,positive +i enjoyed some of the older doctor who many years ago so when the new one came out i just had to check it out i was so pleased with the characters the story lines the updated look i became hooked from season 1 27 for the old fans through to season 2 28 it just keeps on getting better it ties in nicely with the old shows too although you don't have to know the old shows to enjoy this newer version br br even though there has been a change of cast i highly recommend doctor who with chris and with david br br i like that they've given the characters so much depth the doctor seems more vulnerable in this series maybe because he is the last the range of emotions which chris and david show are truly remarkable and i felt their pain anger and sense of adventure right along with them br br rose brings a very human element to each episode although she is much than i would be with her talent will go far in the industry,positive +when i went to see this i thought i liked the first two and thought that they were very suspenseful so this one should be good also wrong there was no suspense and they don't explain about the new dinosaurs when i was done watching this i had lost all respect for steven spielberg and michael but then it turned out that it wasn't directed by spielberg or written by michael this movie was going through the motions i thought that this movie had absolutely no plot and i thought that no one should waste their money to see it,negative +dreadful a friend of mine who obviously thought i had an abysmal sense of humour recommended this br br it's i almost switched it off it is only my desire to not leave things unfinished that prevented me doing so br br this was evidently a british attempt to make a movie with a bunch of also ran tv actors using some lame script from their mate in the business i struggle to think of anything even approaching the of this movie less funny than global warming br br i'm not normally so but i watched this well over ten years ago and thought that i wasted an hour or so of my life on it is destructive br br plot less useless br br i'd rather eat my feet than watch it again,negative +there is an interesting split in the voting for this movie at the moment at least those who go expecting a documentary are impressed or at least not disappointed i that those giving the film 1 out of 10 are those who expected a war movie or a re of the invasion of br br so if you want to see actors and gore this film will not suit you if you want to see an independent documentary about without bias towards any one side the only enemy in these events was the war itself then you'll come away both impressed and i found it a very moving film and even quite liked captain guy by the end,positive +dead man walking is a piece of incredible filmmaking all the acting is top notch and realistic and the script the issue of the death penalty from both sides paying equal homage to both above all this is a deeply moving story of redemption of death with dignity and loss of ego any film that deals this and with such incredibly difficult subject matter deserves a rating of 10 10 thank you tim robbins,positive +okay i haven't read the book yet but i have to say that the lead character was miscast how can i say such a thing haven't read the book you ask it's simple as a viewer of this miniseries i grew irritated by the mannerisms gestures and look of the lead character price it's one thing to be a good person but it's quite another to be a stick in the mud creature who from looking anyone in the face or otherwise meeting their apart from the overdone susan b anthony profile she seemed in to look at another person the scene where is his heart out to her she is looking straight ahead the whole time forcing him to do the same as a result it was just awkward and i just couldn't anyone being in love with her let alone both henry and many have said it was true to the book if that is the case i find it hard to believe that jane austen would create such a character as her lead heroine it's possible to create a character who has been put upon by others and succeeds in their trust and but the portrayal of this character in this miniseries just didn't do it for me,negative +ah hitchcock it's hard to find a bad hitchcock movie until he lost it after the birds 1963 and proves the point having admired most of this director's work for many years i had managed to skip this one perhaps from lack of interest in lane and robert as lead actors i was of course familiar with the statue of liberty climax from having seen it repeatedly in film but i wrongly assumed the story leading up to it might not hold my interest was i wrong the suspenseful plot gets cooking right off the bat through a chance encounter between the bad guy and the good guy wrongly accused protagonist and continues along through a series of further chance encounters and narrow escapes familiar elements are all there the innocent person wrongly accused of a crime people not being what they seem to be dramatic or unlikely locations that the suspenseful scene being played out within them an airplane a ranch a bridge from which the hero himself to escape the police a charity ball in a mansion an upper floor of a and finally the torch of the statue of liberty br br throughout is humor provided by supporting players generous of early ww2 vintage social comment moments of human warmth where suffering people find it within themselves to lend a hand to help a fellow human getting nothing in return – in short there was always a basic humanity at the core of hitchcock however grisly the a sensational cast of supporting players otto as the villain this side of george sanders his broadway credits include the male lead in private lives – and that says it all and norman lloyd as the titular not to mention – no relation to otto – as a prominent society involved in fifth intrigue her character that of claude mother in notorious lane does a fine job with a difficult role for most of her early scenes we can't tell whether she believes the hero to be innocent or guilty and she seems constantly to shift her opinion not coming over to his side fully until late in the proceedings one cannot whether her acting is at fault or whether we are meant to be kept in a state of but the plot developments are so swift fun and clever that we really don't care what she thinks br br then there are the peculiar hitchcock touches that have nothing to do with the plot twice the lane character pauses to get change for a quarter – once to her for an ice cream and again to make a call from a phone booth why these scenes were inserted are guess perhaps to make the film seem more realistic and thus the believability and suspense or perhaps to give the audience a moment to catch its breath some of the characters are over the top – the truck driver the kind and blind man living alone in a forest cabin the political philosophy human and other members of the circus who hide the protagonists from their,positive +wow this movie really sucked down below the normal scale of dull boring and unimaginative films i've seen recently the acting was poor and robotic the story was so bland you could have summed it up with a simple 5 minute short audio was so poor and dirty it was hard to even listen to perhaps it was from the camera it was shot off of i'm not sure which movie the 3 glowing reviewers were commenting on but it wasn't this one perhaps the director had his hand in seeing that his film received a good review at least before the real reviews started to show up br br save your time or you'll just be wasting your time and money on this film absolute,negative +in the new year's eve the sister of the salvation army edit asks her mother and her colleague maria lisa to call david victor to visit her in her meanwhile the alcoholic david is telling to two other in the cemetery the legend of the phantom coach and his in with the legend the last to die in the turn of the new year becomes the soul collector gathering souls in his coach when david to visit edit his friends have an argument with him they fight and david dies when the arrives he his friend georges who died in the end of the last year george parts of david's obnoxious life and in flashbacks he shows how mean and selfish david was br br is an impressive and stylish silent movie with magnificent special effects for a movie the characters are very well developed however the story is dated and there is a weird and unexplained situation when sister edit tells that she loves david why should a woman love such a despicable man that wasted his life other people despite being dated in the present days it gives a beautiful message of faith and redemption in the end my vote is nine br br title brazil a the phantom coach,positive +on a scale of 1 10 sweetheart got an 11 from me and from everyone else at this showing the picture was incredibly funny i told my wife it's obvious that this man walks on water but across a bed of fire that's a bit much this is one of the very best of comedy satire and uses of innuendo i have seen since mel young frankenstein i can't believe this picture was not picked up by a major studio br br this film festival audience was sophisticated and was able to pick up on every comic innuendo either visual spoken or implied the characters are real and the combination of a great script and a great casting was obvious max and grace are real people with real problems that are dealt with regardless of the odds of success it keeps you smiling while being serious and laughing with all the humor brilliantly built into this production br br to sum it up this is a must see picture,positive +spoilers buried under a mountain of medical bills and his funeral business not being able to dig him out from under them undertaker tony lo came up with a plan to make a load of cash with the help of his two crooked pals moon bo richard lynch bill br br getting close with his friend buddy roy as a mob informer to win over trust and have him tell what's coming down on the streets of new york in regard to mob activities buddy is a cop who works in a sub of the the seven ups that does things their way to clean up the streets of new york of criminals br br gets information from buddy and makes it look to buddy that he's really giving him about the mob and what it's up too and uses that information to tip off his associates moon bo to rip the off of their weekly take as well as kidnap top mob sharks and hold them for br br everything is going well for co until the mob decides to and grabs beats and kidnaps a member of the seven ups ken who was working undercover thinking he was one of the who was kidnapping and ripping them off later was accidentally killed by moon when he out the of the car that was locked in thinking that there was a full or cash in it br br fast pace and exciting movie with that gritty and photography of new york city that was so effective in the movie the french connection which also stars both roy tony lo who are in this movie too incredible car chase that started in downtown brooklyn and ended up in the of new jersey some 15 to 20 miles away with buddy almost ending up decapitated for his heroic efforts br br roy who is not a big man is as tough and effective as any big action actor i can think off like clint eastwood would have been in the same movie reminds me a lot of he even looks a bit like him former and champion gene who beat the great sugar ray robinson for the championship back in 1957 and acts like him too in the movie tough and destructive br br tony lo is very good as the undertaker the who plays off buddy and the mob to the point that leads to partner getting killed even though he's trash you can't in a way not help feeling sorry for since he only wants the money he gets from the ripped to pay his sick wife's hospital and medical bills even the fact that was killed due to his actions never wanted anybody to get hurt but like they say when you play with fire you end up getting burned in the end have a lot of explaining to do to the not so sympathetic and caring br br the movie the seven ups has the late bill doing the dangerous stunts with the car chases as well as act in the film was also the stunt man in both great movies that had him doing the driving on the roads streets and of new york city and san francisco the french connection and,positive +this is one of t v 's greatest mini series it comes to life almost as well as the book did also the cast was outstanding to play the roles i'd recommend this movie series for anyone who likes the civil war or the history leading up to it,positive +i just watched the this evening having only seen it once before about a dozen years ago br br it's not a big movie and doesn't try to make a big but my god the brilliance of the two leads leaves me just about speechless albert finney and tom are nothing less than amazing in this movie br br the is the story of sir an aging shakespearean actor finney and his norman sort of a putting on a production of king during the of london in world war ii these are two men each upon the other sir is almost helpless without the aid of norman to and bully him into getting for his performance of and norman lives his life through sir without sir to need him he is nothing or thinks he is anyway br br this is a character driven film the plot is secondary to the interaction of the characters and as such it requires actors of the highest caliber to bring it to life finney only years old is completely believable as a very old very sick bullying but brilliant stage actor he and at his fellow actors even when they're taking their and is no less convincing as the who must sometimes act more as a mother than as a to his elderly is really the wrong term to use though for although technically their relationship is that of and employee most of the time sir and norman act like nothing so much as an old married couple br br yes there are others in the cast of this movie but there is no question that the true stars are finney and the marvelous script by ronald that is not to say that there aren't other fine performances most notably as the long suffering stage manager there is a wonderful scene where sir and talk about old desires old regrets and what might have been br br although it doesn't get talked about these days it is worth remembering that the was nominated for five academy awards best actor nominations for both finney and best picture best director peter and best adapted screenplay br br i had remembered this as being a good movie but i wasn't prepared to be as completely as i was from beginning to end if you want to see an example of what great acting is all about and be hugely entertained all the while then i encourage you to see the,positive +how i wondered why i hadn't seen this in theaters or even a single commercial for it and then after i saw the movie i realized i was hardcore i am a big fan and a big blade fan so when i saw this i imagined some killer fight scene between two lots of a whole bunch of stuff instead i got the ryan movie with a brief cameo by and snipes the guy that does the audio and video in the crime lab got more screen time than wesley it was like renting a jackie chan movie expecting a bunch of kung fu and getting i expect bad movies from hollywood but actors like snipes and should treat the fan base better,negative +starts out as expected stupid white people going to discover new lands and exploit them i thought for a while it might be a cannibal film it starts off like so many others showing nothing but shots off amazon rain forest for all i know it could be florida at this point you figure some animal or natives will pop up instead you get the acting talents of william smith who starred in l a vice and angels die hard he plays an acclaimed hunter who i would describe him as jack palance light he is bigger in stature but not quite the jack palance goodness as for natives you don't really get that many where's the should i even ask that question now humans i guess he doesn't really pursue anyone till the end of the movie though just stares at them does race one of the tourists on a motorcycle in a over dramatic and the kind of way the motorcycle challenge happens for no real reason other than an action sequence i can't tell you how many times i've seen a tourist challenge a stranger to a motorcycle race in the jungle never actually do they live do they die will you care anybody wanna race on caution this film contains extreme dry look my advice is to rent a jack palance classic like,negative +an excellent produced historical drama well played written shot in ways that convey accurate visual images of the and with more than a few moving moments especially for those who care about the history of africa and however a fair amount of worthwhile content gets lost in translation and because names and so forth are hard to follow so i would strongly recommend checking a neutral source such as to get a basic sense of the story being depicted and the subsequent history before enjoying the film if you have the dvd version there is also some useful historical background there is a point towards the end of the film where the name of a character who then speaks with an american accent is actually out a simple search of film or something similar will reveal a truly fascinating and perhaps disturbing twist regarding the production of this important film this film if coupled with a little outside research helps dozens of other films relating to central east africa and or e g hotel shake hands with the devil various adaptations of heart of darkness and even ali when ali visits,positive +i liked the understated character that laura played in and she is very good in of the br br but wow robin williams doesn't give that much of a performance with a couple of minor exceptions this was weak laura may not have been miscast but either the editing raped her character or this was just a sad performance by director barry br br and i think it was barry that got old so many weak performances such uneven results have to be the fault of management br br christopher walken and jeff goldblum are great in supporting roles goldblum plays a sinister side with and combination of manager and for the film is wonderful br br but the story is cliché the presentation looks like it could have should have been a very good picture and too many actions are half hearted the pacing story and direction all come up weak compared to say spoof of of my,negative +a couple of men are ship on a remote island they are then captured by an insane count who lives there with a small group of servants while in the castle lives the unfortunate wife br br the of is pretty much a hack job of a movie the amateur actors all through the film while an annoyingly score continually plays in the background the various bits of action are all filmed in an incredibly way in fact the film in general is completely it just seems to drag on and on and even though the ending isn't too bad you will be hard pressed to care by that point as an example of 60's gothic horror this is strictly a bargain basement example i sadly can't recommend this one really,negative +i was really disappointed with this movie i had heard some great reviews about it and unfortunately missed seeing it in theaters as a result of this i was really excited to see it when it came to dvd i thought that it was going to be a high paced horror movie with a lot of scary surprises but instead it was a paced predictable movie it dragged and dragged without a climax in it and after all the difficulties that those people went through to try and escape the ending was completely frustrating i gave this movie two stars for one reason this is not your typical horror movie with one central bad guy a bunch of people to death the story makes this movie unique and provides a change for people who watch a lot of horror movies even though i don't like this movie i recommend that all horror fans do see it at least once you may surprisingly like it as for this horror fan all i can say is that i hope there isn't a sequel to this forgettable movie,negative +ya know i have no idea how everybody else's teenage life was but this does not reflect the folks i knew and hung around with let alone myself and just in case if you're wondering no we weren't clean cut pat type teens if there was ever such a thing br br look i'm not saying being a teenager is easy the better well actually the best teen movie of this time is fast times at high now those kids i knew and were as realistic as it got back then and maybe now br br this was crap this was a low rent version of fast times and even then it didn't do much for me it had a few moments but not enough for me to recommend this or even claim this is how it was for teens back in 1982 i couldn't relate the lead girl girls did nothing for me and please if they really wanted to keep their virginity they would have in which case this film would not have been made pure crap and a bad to be left behind as a time capsule cinema for teens young adults in the early,negative +i remember watching this when it was made and thinking it was brilliant at the time watching it for the second time nearly 20 years later i still think is brilliant and much better than the us film that was based on this drama br br it should also be watched by all our come today gone tomorrow politicians who think they can win the war on drugs as the issues raised in this film are as today as they were back then at the end of the 80s and unless they change their will be so in another 20 years br br well written well made beautifully acted and superbly filmed a thought provoking drama that entertains as well as brings to light some of the hard realities of the criminal drug trade,positive +unlike some of the reviews written here i didn't hate this movie it is a movie that could have been much better than it was not oscar material true but much better than it was br br i thought the plot had a good hook and through line granted this movie was badly written and terribly directed and produced i mean how many irrelevant flashbacks can you have why were we there what exactly is the point of the opening sequence it seems like the producer s watched american beauty a few too many times and thought use that in an action movie ' i thought the movie wasn't that badly acted wesley snipes did a credible job he just ran of some bad direction and once this movie hit the production room things just got worse the main actress i think had the same problems some of the other acting was suspect yes but it was a low budget flick again i would say it is the director's job to pick that up and correct it br br as an overall recommendation i would agree with the first review i read that this movie is not worth seeing or maybe it is worth seeing if you are a film student and want to see what not to do br br 3 10 and that's giving it praise,negative +what a great movie this was is it heaven hell or something in between i disagree with many reviews of this movie saying that this is a depiction of hell it is not even clear if the opening scene starts the movie or is a flashback from the end further it is not clear that the main character goes to hell but perhaps in between the review i read on imdb says this is hell but i disagree whole take into consideration that perhaps good people who commit suicide may not be condemned to hell this only one religious belief this is indeed a and i have would recommend it to anyone who likes that type of movie definitely worth it,positive +armed and dangerous is not one of the of john candy this film about a fired cop who ends up working for a small security system run by the mob is very weak and not very much a comedy there are some moments that i did enjoy like looking at candy in a pilot suit but it doesn't seem to matter much armed and dangerous is still a dangerously disappointing dud brought to us by the director of the equally dumb what a sad excuse for a comedy br br 1 out of 5,negative +aussie shakespeare for 18 24 set with blood blood and more blood and good dose of nudity this will not be for every one on may levels to violent for some too cheap for most done on low budget they try and do there best but it only works and this just seem to be lacking its just not compelling although there is some good acting on the part of most you don't get into there heads especially the best performance came from gary sweet and the strangest mick molly if your into shakespeare then see it but if you like your cheese mature you will love it it not a bad film but it not that good either sam would of loved it that is if it was filmed as a western i was expecting a lot from this as i loved but this is was a effort,negative +maybe it was the fact that i saw spider man the day before i saw wild but i do not think that there can be any excuse for this movie being as bad as it was the cast was there to do it but it seemed as if once they found them with a decent cast they had to try and make them fit into the movie the only problem was that they did not fit i did not like any of the characters and the story was at best i left wondering why i spent my money on this movie,negative +making a film based on a true story particularly one as incredible and horrifying as the 1972 plane crash is hard for even the best filmmakers but the behind this forgettable and cheap exploitation flick don't even try the actual names of both the survivors and the of the air force plane crash have all been altered the crash itself is obviously staged in a very slip manner and the aspect has been unnecessarily and played up shockingly it made a ton of money on both sides of the border thankfully thought it has mercifully been forgotten but the same people behind this would later give us the equally revolting cult of the damned br br this cheap horror exploitation flick the making of alive some fifteen years later that film was a masterpiece survive to put it mildly is not,negative +i consider this a breathtaking but film because it seems so simple and straightforward a vietnam survivor tells his harrowing tale and some of the story is on location reviewers sometimes even claim that presence in the film is minimal but how wrong they are we know that all documentaries are to some extent and this one has subtle hand all over it most notably in the stunning music the unbelievably expert selection of footage and the management of images the power of this film is astounding starting with its title the opening title card from the book of revelation and the initial voice over this is a movie that one can watch repeatedly with increasing wonder not a simple that is down with one's favorite on the way to the evening news this is one of those movies that can with you for a lifetime,positive +is truly as bad as it gets its cast of ruthless shallow characters are intended as a reflection on its post eighties setting and i have to admit in this regard it is an accurate creation unfortunately it leaves me nothing to with or care about and i regard it as just another step toward the television rate phone in astonishingly bad cheap reality and television and other cut and run attitudes that have destroyed this medium and indeed much of british society sounds exaggerated i don't think it is in this regard programs such as have indeed been as influential as they are often called,negative +forget about the plot of this movie forget about the fact that it is wonderfully acted by vince vaughn and forget about the fact that it is one of the few movies starring jennifer lopez that i can stomach although the story made be impossible to believe and much of the dialogue seems contrived the one and only important thing to remember when watching this movie is that it contains some of the most amazing and disturbing imagery ever put on film it is as if decided to make a crime drama a must see for anyone seriously interested in cinematography and the use of the film cell as a on which to display true works of visual art i would have to give this movie a 9 10 for it's amazing visual display,positive +this film is a great disappointment director has provided many interesting films throughout his long career some of them were by strong and powerful performances by spanish actress victoria in la he relies on a gifted actress as well newcomer lopez de but this is barely the sole positive element in an otherwise terrible mess of a movie while lopez de tries hard to portray as a romantic and passionate young woman completely obsessed by love to her handsome husband it seems as if she weren't able to develop her character over this one dimensional feature was an important figure in spanish history and politics of that time were essential in her storyline but here she's introduced as a romantic leading lady out of a soap opera this is a real pity and the film a missing opportunity to show the way personal lives can influence history and vice versa worst of all italian actors and turn out in real bad performances which in the case of is a real problem as he portrays el a pivotal role in this story it seems a clear choice to attract young audiences as both of them look like top models of this era on the other hand talented actors such as and are completely wasted in supporting roles clearly underdeveloped even if this was a big budgeted film little care was taken in bringing a good screenplay or creating period pieces on the screen costumes are particularly grotesque in some of the group scenes as if they were taken from stock material without regarding of a real all in all the main problem with la and this is what makes the difference with far superior historical films as la or elizabeth is the lack of a director's point of view this a strange turn in career as he was able to develop it in other works and come to my mind creating very personal and interesting movies while this really is no more than a routine academic historical piece and a not very good one at that,negative +this was a great 1981 film which had a great story about three men and two girls who go on a camping trip together and go through thick woods and high mountains with a great water fall this group of people run into property owned by george kennedy roy who plays the role as a forest ranger and rides a white horse roy warns these young people that where they are going is no area for camping and they should turn back of course these young people pay no attention and proceed to have a ball swimming in the nude near the water fall and playing great music and dancing by the fire and having plenty of beer and wine there is an old wooden one room school house that draws the and guys inside and it is from that point on the film starts to get very scary there is one occasion when a young girl has to climb a tree in order to get away from a human beast who desires her body and starts the tree down in order to capture her don't miss this film there is plenty of everything,positive +real love true love mad love beautiful love ugly love dirty love sad love happy love silly love smart love gorgeous love dumb love love love love moore understands that what she really needs is a man who trust her trust her and love her of course when this man comes along she tries to run away but seymour wonderful seymour he her he believes in her so he is going to fight for her against her i want to be like seymour i want to be that kind of man a man willing to love without been afraid to fail but willing to fail that's a kind of hero that's my kind of hero and moore is my kind of woman long live cassavetes and all his lovely bunch,positive +harrison ford plays sergeant dutch van of the district of columbia police department he tries to get the bad guys but doesn't do a very good job when we meet up with him he's trying to catch a corrupt undercover officer scott thomas plays a new senator kay chandler trying to get she's running against a candidate who has plenty of money the last thing she needs is the death of her husband she's a politician she can't be down by feelings br br this story moves slowly and painfully i was looking at my watch every five minutes wondering when it would be over the story gets lost in details the director sydney didn't need to put in we don't want to know about police they throw in some insight to politicians and the they do for after seeing the movie i'm still wondering why they got involved doesn't anybody anymore don't you need more than two weeks to even consider going with someone else br br it was good to see actress comedian chicago native and second city bonnie hunt her role isn't necessarily comic relief but she was the only one i wanted to see more of do yourself a favor wait for it on video if you want to see it at all,negative +a real hoot unintentionally sidney character is so sweet and lovable you want to him nothing about this movie rings true and it's boring to boot,negative +so you've got a number of models on an island and one by one they're picked off agatha christie style we get somebody lost at sea pushed off a cliff by a driven off a cliff blown up etc nothing terribly graphic br br before any of that starts one woman inexplicably has a dream of a killer in a weird human face mask br br the owner of the magazine is a sleaze who had an affair and somebody had photos taken of her before she was of age br br in the end it's all about business or something br br there's an 80s style montage of a photo shoot most of the bathing suits being one pieces surprisingly a couple are fairly there's camera during the montage where the frame of the camera appears as a white square or within the picture the photographer is rather bad at framing,negative +this is one of my favorite movies the performances of rip torn and are excellent and their performances combined with the music scenery and reality of the movie are quite compelling a look at a true tell it like it is mountain man who refuses to give up his way of life in the name of progress and development the music of the is very unique and adds an eerie quality to some of the scenes after seeing this movie for the first time i had to go out and purchase the video and the soundtrack overall a quiet type of movie with bursts of panic both torn and are very believable in their roles i put this movie in the same category as winter people with kurt russell and kelly another favorite,positive +this is a superb game for the with superb graphics and a great one player story line and even better multi player game best played with 4 people br br the many levels and for weapons mean that this is one of the best games around for years,positive +begins with a horror movie icon killing a director and then his servant before he is laid to rest this icon who has some christopher lee qualities to him then continues to haunt those around him when a group of horror film society students steal his corpse from the he is in br br the first ten minutes is well filmed good writing and lots of potential for murderous mayhem but the film drags in the middle although thankfully not as much as house of death and never really gets that initial of energy back br br lots of the deaths are confusing as they seem to have people just falling over scared when they see a floating coffin or other odd things twice we see gas being used but the box promises that this horror star will be the of all the monsters he has played boy is that false advertising unless he spent his career playing boring old men who take and watch br br the general principle of the film is decent horror society kids stealing a corpse of a dead icon a modern equivalent digging up vincent price or peter cushing would make a great film maybe a remake is in order if that wouldn't be too sometimes theory doesn't come across as well in and this film offers that example br br the only redeeming quality of this film besides the beginning is the brief appearance of a very young jeffrey combs i saw him and thought that's jeffrey combs but felt i was mistaken as the box never mentioned him but sure enough combs was present a note to this movie's film makers mention combs on the cover of the dvd you'll sell more copies if if you would be customers if you're a jeffrey combs die hard check out this early role otherwise i cannot offer this as a great selection for a horror movie marathon let me suggest intruder or popcorn as those are both pretty decent and will stand the test of time,negative +showtime is a funny film starring robert deniro meet the parents a tale and eddie murphy shrek dr the story is this in the beginning of the movie detective mitch robert deniro and another detective go into a tv store trying to bust some criminals when the cops arrive eddie murphy a cop tries to arrest mitch not knowing he's a cop during this scene loads of funny things happen which catch the eye of tv producer chase she is so excited about their adventures together she decides to make a tv show called showtime starring the cop and mitch the detective but that's just the funny part the rest is strictly suspense and action there is a foreign man who is selling and making extremely dangerous guns while playing on the show and doing it in real life deniro and murphy have quite an adventure in this story on a scale of 1 10 i give it a seven or 8,positive +if you wish to see shakespeare's masterpiece in its entirety i suggest you find this bbc version indeed it is overlong at four and a half hours but performance as hamlet and patrick stewart's as are well worth the effort br br it never to me how clear hamlet is when you see it in its length and order as set down by the every film version of hamlet has with its structure olivier concentrated on gibson on his passions is able to pull all of these aspects of character together with the aid of shakespeare's full script br br why does hamlet not kill immediately hamlet says i am very proud ambitious hamlet is extremely upset not only for his father's death and suspected murder or his mother's marriage to his uncle but also and mostly because has the throne to hamlet he is furious at his mother for marrying between royal is not unknown done for political reasons but that her marriage claim to the throne before he could return from to claim it for himself he is therefore to do anything about it and this is true even after he hears his father's ghost cry vengeance he cannot simply kill the king or he will lose the throne in doing so he must out the king's secret and here is the tragedy at the moment hamlet is successful in displaying guilt in public he has opportunity to kill him and does not why he wants it all he wants revenge the throne and the of soul in hell hamlet himself in classic tragic form his own is his he kills thinking it is and the rest of the play down to the final deaths of and hamlet himself,positive +the lucky ones died before watching this br br i've never watched a movie from so i can't say this is the worst movie ever made but it surely is the worst movie i've ever watched i can't almost remember it br br all i can recall is a family of stupid people who don't do anything right their car has one wheel out of four stuck in the sand so they decide that there's nothing to do and prepare to live the rest of their lives there then there's an old man who is aware of the existence of a band of cannibals in the but has never considered the idea to report the fact to the police br br and speaking of the police if those freaks have lived around there eating humans for years lots of people must have disappeared how come the sheriff didn't suspect anything br br but i gave up asking questions after the first five minutes or so the rest is bore an unbelievable bore br br i will be and won't speak about the dialogues and the acting and the effects br br i will only mention the final scene where the freak girl a snake the snakes they come out in the end what the hell do they have to do with the story with a sniper precise throw of a stone the full disregard of mr craven for reality and for things that happen on planet earth in general br br i believe there have been when the film was first released in 1977 br br even being eaten by a cannibal wouldn't be a fair punishment to the director for this attack on intelligence,negative +some funny lines are all what makes this movie bearable the camera tv movie like the acting poor julie davis is more than and the directing amateurish and or but i can understand that no one had fun to realise the and trivial script,negative +awful film terrible acting cheesy totally unrealistic embarrassing to anyone who has played the game for a start that guy is not a hooker he would be in two as for score that's my well no it's not for the the american audience it might come across as a good film for me well that's a few hours of my life i'll never get back i read through the reviews and came across one where the guy sounded like he knew what he was talking about then i read br br while american may never reach the level of talent that new zealand or south africa has third in the world is also nothing to hang your head br br all i can say is br br keep playing your american football and baseball leave the real sports to the big boys,negative +spoilers br br i've heard some about the special effects but that should detract from the movie the movie is a suspense film and it's very good at that so from that stand point this movie rocks rocks enjoy to one's plastic hearts content so no complaints for this movie unless you watch the english dub which is a total farce it creates the illusion it's a b movie br br one complaint i do have is the music video on the dvd it doesn't say who sings it i'd love to know br br 8 10 br br quality 10 10 entertainment 10 10 5 10,positive +i loved it it was really gruesome and disgusting i thought that the of the human flesh was thoroughly the way that it was depicting the human about jesus christ was really interesting the about limbs and jaws was awesome brutally gruesome don't watch this if you have a weak heart you wouldn't be able to stand it,positive +but it is also and too yes the grumpy captain may not look like pete but it is mickey and are the best characters both of them are very sweet and likable interestingly is more of a lady in this than what she usually is today and mickey is less than in this than he is now pete is still the same old but he looks a bit different br br in this famous episode on board a little mickey and some side characters have a great deal of fun and a great deal of even in their first appearances the three main characters are very developed br br i quite like this episode although overall i prefer the mickey mouse in the future i like the animation the and music theme the clever gags and of course mickey and br br like many early cartoons this is very random walt came up with a very basic plot and just added gags to gear it along there is also a parrot side character who is very annoying and rather unnecessary these are the things i do not like about it br br another interesting thing about this episode that a colour version has not been made for it or if it has i've never heard about it br br anyone who just enjoys mickey mouse and disney will enjoy this,positive +i chose this movie really for my husband who works in radio i thought that it would be more of a movie that he would enjoy and relate too though it was from the eighties so it was a little dated this movie really draws you in at times you just want to the host barry at times you just want to send some of the who call in to a true concentration camp at times you really feel sorry for barry because he has truly gotten too big for his if you know what i mean it was on the drama channel on so i am thinking this is a true story if you truly love dramas you will love this even if you don't know all the ins and outs of the business if you are an alec baldwin fan and are watching it to see him you shouldn't his part is really a bit part in this movie,positive +i had the great pleasure of recently viewing this beautifully filmed wide screen adaption of the the 1943 stage revival which unlike the original production which included extensive spoken this had been the fashion at the time so to blame the film for an 16 year tradition the film should be seen if only for sammy davis brilliant performance as life in and out of shadows his seduction of dorothy there's a boat soon for new york is one of many highlights nearly all of the principal music is intact and beautifully sung it certainly never which the recent and met versions did it was a pleasure to see that time had not the movie and hopefully it will be made available in the near future for the generations that haven't had a chance to experience it,positive +i am insulted and angry over the idea that a sequel to with the should ever have been having expressed that i have no problem with the quality of the acting or the actors in this film the performers are talented people whose talents were wasted on this piece of garbage the hype surrounding this book and film just happens to be an exercise in i think it will go down as one of the misguided films of hollywood i don't believe that the beloved characters created by margaret mitchell should have been by the ideas and interpretations of another writer the film and the book should be on the list of worst ideas conceived in the world of and film making the sad thing is that people actually made money off of this tripe,negative +in one of the better movies of the year tom hanks stars as charlie wilson in this funny and extremely relevant given reasonably current events historical comedy drama surrounding the 1980s soviet fiasco the were attacking afghanistan killing hundreds of people why should anyone care people are dying right no the reason the united states got involved through charlie wilson was because the in fear they would get blown to sh t started coming into which in turn p president off charlie wilson in an effort to fix this situation teamed up with the sixth woman and religious fanatic in texas julia roberts and a amusing and american spy for the cia philip seymour hoffman to help supply with high tech weapons to destroy soviet fight air craft that would try and attack their land br br although certainly not a serious oscar for best picture is probably one of the best of the many political films of the year academy award winner mike provides solid directing as to be expected while emmy award winner aaron night the west wing provides a remarkable screenplay that near comedy and drama the acting is great for the most part as well tom hanks delivers his best and most enjoyable performance since his 2000 oscar nominated turn as a worker stranded on a island in hanks takes a slimy character like wilson and with his trademark charm turns him into a likable guy amy adams and ned beatty are reliable as always but the real stand out performance of the film is from philip seymour hoffman arguably the finest actor working in the film industry today hoffman takes a small supporting role and everyone around him from his first scene where he's screaming at his boss before violently breaking his window hoffman sucks you in the only disappointing cast member is overrated hollywood julia roberts her way through yet another movie overbearing and over the top portrayal of a rich texas oil woman hits all the wrong notes and is at most times flat out annoying at minutes the movie is short and sweet and that isn't to say it doesn't drag at some points but when it does drag it's for a very brief amount of time br br in conclusion is not a perfect film by any means but it's certainly worth a look grade b,positive +this could have been a role for but the film instead decided to shift its attention to another area the film is about a woman named who is married to a and the mother of three she is a free spirit and prone to so the rest of the village and her family decide she should be sent to and see a doctor the story takes place on the island of off of and it shows the everyday life there with the teenage boys in gangs and just trying to find something to do on the sun baked rock oldest son her and is always trying to protect her during her of depression the daughter is a young girl who becomes with a local policeman and the youngest son is very sassy and the accent upon learning that she is to be sent to runs away and helps her by hiding her in a cave while everyone for her this film could have really made more of an impact if it could have concentrated its focus to we do see some and irrational behavior on her part but their is no follow up to these scenes nothing comes of it the film looks great and is beautifully photographed so give director credit for that but the story needed to focus on something more substantial the film does a good job of showing us what life is like on this island and what is going on in the lives of the three children as they grow up their is some that character gives a hint of being a mermaid like creature and that is why she is having difficulty existing on land i also sense that the island itself expects its inhabitants to behave in a certain manner and if you don't then you can be subjected to the harsh realities of its rules all but i do think the films attention could have stayed with the character of after she hides in the cave she really has nothing to do in a sense the character becomes i wish had more to do because i've always liked her and whenever she is you just can't take your eyes off her she's a of fury passion and raw energy what a shame didn't write a more complete role for her to act in when the film ends your left feeling empty from an story,negative +what can have been on irene mind when she accepted the role in this account of a woman of morals certainly the irene dunne of the 1940's whose reputation as a faithful roman catholic who and any film scripts or hollywood society that might be even be remotely as public morals would never have become associated with such a dubious project as this br br perhaps new in his private audience with her gave her a good dressing down over this role that we will likely never know as she never spoke of it in later years though she did her morally suspect though quite successful 1932 film back street as trash br br certainly by the time she received the distinguished st robert award in 1965 for public ann was no longer by the general public br br suffice it to say that ann works neither as entertainment or social commentary br br miss role as an social worker who sleeps around between and writing a best on doesn't with her or on screen demeanor and one keeps that the whole thing is a kind of tongue in cheek gag what else can we think when we witness a montage of miss sympathetic over a shot of a female prisoner being by films end she has in favor of marriage to convict walter huston no less and what kind of would ever of pairing these two br br irene dunne will no doubt wish to see this curiosity if only for the chance to hear her promise to a cocaine addict under her charge i'm going to get you off the snow cold turkey br br well if nothing else such goings on do present her light years from her usual of operatic and cocaine addiction not being the first subject one associates with the miss dunne,negative +spoiler br br in 1993 african american director actor mario van followed up the tremendously popular urban action film new jack city with the film was co written and directed by van who also stars as the main character jessie lee br br plot the film begins at the turn of the 20th century when the united states was in the spanish american war apparently a time when the u s justice system could send into military service jessie lee finds himself an unwilling man serving with an all black in cuba some of his include little j stephen baldwin fast talking charles lane and the but simple tiny they find a hidden chest of gold on a run and decide to keep it however the ambitious colonel graham zane finds out about the gold and is apparently willing to kill jessie lee and company for it a shootout between the forces and jessie lee's leaves the colonel blind in one eye and his forces jessie lee's crew manage to themselves and the gold back to new orleans but it turns out that graham isn't far behind jessie lee and his allies are forced to go on the run heading west to a town called apparently was by blacks in the years following the civil war jessie lee's father king david was the charismatic preacher who co the town however as is revealed in flashbacks king david was soon brutally murdered by a white mob in a parallel of the terror that began around the same time jessie lee and company eventually find their way to only to find that the aren't exactly glad to see when sheriff bates richard jordan of a nearby white makes it clear that he wants jessie lee and his or alive blair is the sheriff and de mayor of his own agenda may not square with having jessie lee around br br analysis the action sequences are all very credible and mario van turns in a good performance as the brooding hero in the aftermath of the success of new jack city it was almost expected van would a sequel or at least a similar urban action follow up instead van looked 100 years into the past creating a mostly black western effectively the black themed westerns of the 1970's and continuing the legacy of largely forgotten black themed cowboy films from the early 20th century unlike new jack city the film was and originally released through entertainment allegedly at the major studios when van pitched to them some of the more curious casting at the time involved big daddy kane and tone as father time and angel respectively in certain interviews mario van has said that he often likes to cast against type in the years since the trend of casting rap singers in non musical films would become almost keen viewers will notice several cameos by various entertainment personalities black action film veterans like hayes truck turner pam brown and larry cook the who sat by the door show up as does stand up legend russell not to mention tv producer stephen j who hired the junior van to star in sonny years earlier the film is with woody in a key role,positive +this was a modern tv classic the story goes like this bob has a girlfriend named alicia bob and alicia are in love and want to get married bob has a bud named owen who he works with owen is jealous of alicia he likes hanging around with bob now owen hangs around with bob and alicia bob and owen have a secretary named heather heather is very accident prone she is also if you haven't guessed it is kind of lonely she too hangs around with bob and alicia and owen sometimes alicia wishes bob didn't have any friends br br by the end of the first season it looked like owen finally found himself a real girlfriend bob and alicia went driving on the night before their wedding making out in a tiny car and then getting stuck way out in the middle of nowhere what happened next what about poor heather did anyone get married sorry series ended br br not even a from tv guide made fox think twice about putting it back on the air it was a great show with a great cast i loved heather too she looked cool in those glasses and was hilarious i miss this show a lot this is like reading a good book with the ending missing sad,positive +barry is a radio phone in talk show host in dallas whose no holds ideas on a of social issues and offend many of his and is barry a media in search of truth or a social out to assault his audience br br this is an intense provocative character piece about a man with almost no redeeming features who at the same time seems to be onto some really profound philosophy though co written and directed by stone this is really piece all the way and he gives an astonishingly hard edged and performance from which there is no escape barry is at times one of the most characters imaginable at everyone around him particularly those who care about him but at the same time he is also strangely hypnotic even lovable features burn into the frame with his green eyes constantly around as if seeking an answer to some the movie is essentially an angry self righteous rant against all the injustice and in the world culminating in a wild three and a half minute single shot of barry delivering the ultimate i hate everything speech but boy does it pack a punch the support cast are great particularly greene as the ex wife and baldwin as the boss robert keen photography manages to keep the single radio studio set looking interesting and there's a tense score by stewart with a moving featuring that endearing phone music piece and rubber band by the penguin orchestra if you're unfamiliar with check out his amazing talent in this flick like his bill and denis he's someone who rarely appears in the mainstream media purely because his writing is so out there i find movies i don't much care for his big but when he is more ordered and objective as with this or and he is much more and a great primal scream of a picture based on a play by inspired by the true story of alan a denver radio talk show host who was murdered by neo nazis in 1984,positive +what a great movie it's a touching story about four high school friends who grow up in the 1960s throughout the decade the friends are somewhat separated but they to see each other occasionally there are many but there are also a lot of happy moments that make you laugh and smile it's a heart filled tale of life love and friendship definitely a must see for drama fans,positive +the basic plot is good and can be engaging the music is so great that it became the theme music for the tv show iron chef though it is way and too in the movie so how did this movie end up so poor well the plot was about 95 predictable and the characters were about as 1 dimensional as possible and the dialog what person would actually allow themselves to receive credit for coming up with the stupid macho bull crap that to be dialog you get much greater realism from most cartoons the bottom line is that this movie has some good points but is so marred by hackneyed clichés and rotten dialog that it quickly becomes tiresome and this is a shame because deserve a better tribute than this mess if you don't believe me look at the number of goofs listed on imdb for this movie way in excess of what you'd expect to find they just didn't care enough to work out all the and problems so as a result the movie seems rushed and in need of a re write and re editing,negative +this neo film noir is one of a genre of late century american films that all seem to involve corrupt characters fast cars a of highway and of course plenty of guns by people who appear never to have taken a gun safety course the actors are the best reason to see black day blue night there is the late great j t walsh swing blade red rock west the last seduction and many more who did many neo films see also breakdown then there is forbes of the tv series star trek the next generation and homicide in a supporting role there is even the late who also appeared on a star trek episode titled the naked now a spoiler of sorts a clue really only the most innocent survive but innocence is a very relative term in a movie like this and you probably won't guess who is innocent before the final reel,positive +one of the best sitcoms to run on indian television along with and great acting well paced and an extremely amusing script made this a truly memorable series the fun filled opening montage sung by none other than the kumar gave a very accurate picture of what one could expect i used to borrow it from my local video library years after had stopped airing it i wish indian television would back to serials such as these rather than the and reality television which is all its good for these days anyone who's found of genuinely good comedy ought to go and get this series you'll might also enjoy a couple of sitcoms such as ups and downs and which are certainly comparable to best,positive +had the fun pleasure of viewing a new independent film called half empty i usually go out to the local cinema with my husband and feel as if we are held captive to the latest sequel or prequel that hollywood throws at us this was different and surprisingly – so much more entertaining than anything hollywood spends millions advertising when my husband and i go the movies we go to be entertained – and half empty did just that and the film did so in a smart manner that made me feel as if my trip to the movie theater was worth it it is a funny human and surprising sometimes musical story that cleverly entertains in its simplicity i especially enjoyed the scene with the 4 men singing in harmony in the bathroom it is almost like an that particular scene reminded me of a scene in phantom of the opera when 4 of the performers did not just i e they sang against one another in a friendly i am not a film but this film was more enjoyable than any other major studio film i have seen lately it is silly funny entertaining and amusing completely enjoyable – which is what i expect from movies but rarely do they deliver like half empty,positive +i'm a fan of b grade 80s films in which the hero is a bit of a bad guy a strong male who finds love and this film delivers br br towards the finish you do not know how will not be killed and doesn't he take a beating realistically portrayed i believe however he does and it's not via some overdone stunt the team he works with comes together hence the title his team are all characters people on the at work because they don't quite these portrayals are funny and sympathetic they have a real feeling to them they're up against an of an assassin with a good team of his own the result is a great film noir,positive +according to this masterpiece of film script pun intended charles was full of nonsense when he presented his evolution theory because he made absolutely no mention of any alien for you see aliens sent to the earth and they form the missing link in the evolution theory however the rest of the film clearly seems to emphasize that are a typically puerto phenomenon so i don't really know where that fits in are they saying all puerto are aliens whatever it's all pretty irrelevant anyway the only thing you need to is that el is an utterly cheap and amateur b movie lacking tension character development and any form of style several of people are chasing this goat monster remotely resembling the midget version of the demon through the streets and of an ugly city we have an and a female novelist a pair of obnoxious cops and the supposedly evil scientist with his dim witted since they all are extremely incompetent in what they do the monster can carry on all the latino immigrants of the neighborhood the monster itself looks okay and the make up effects on his are gross and bloody the acting performances are awful and headache inducing particularly eric is in his first and only lead role as the overly ambitious employee of animal control yes it's an incredibly stupid film but surely you have yourself through worse and less amusing low budget garbage,negative +i can't believe this movie has 6 stars on imdb this is one of the worst movies i've ever seen that wasn't an episode of mystery science theater 3000 the plot is predictable i couldn't bring myself to care about any of the characters the dialog is cheesy several moments in the movie actually made me out loud including crazy neighbor and the incredibly lame joke that ends the movie jeff accent is goofy i can't tell what country he's supposed to be from it has to be one of the least thrilling thrillers i've ever seen as well after sandra character disappears absolutely nothing happens to advance the story for a good 45 minutes i would give this movie a negative amount of stars if i could,negative +perhaps the weakest film in the series despite the presence of john carradine miscast as an egyptian high priest and george as his predecessor hilariously by a bad case of disease supporting jr as the titular creature if indeed it was him under the as his contribution is at best it's a watchable 60 minutes in itself i guess but the standards have considerably when compared even to the two previous entries and the end result is strictly routine and not at all memorable just about the only interesting feature here is the fact that the female lead happens to be the reincarnation of princess mentioned a great deal in earlier films but never actually seen,negative +most movies from hollywood seem to follow one of a few pre and very predictable plots this film does not and is a perfect example of what i watch for br br there's a guy michael and his girlfriend left him with out a word he wants to know what happened is she ok can he say goodbye perhaps get some closure he hasn't been able to contact grace and in an effort to find her he has made a film asking for your help br br michael figures we might need a reason to help him so he tells us his story by his relationship with the help of a friend to play the role of grace the girlfriend who left br br sight is 20 20 and it is no different for michael by telling his story and getting from his friends he realizes his mistakes and just how much he values what he has lost this is unfortunately a lesson we all have had to learn or need to learn and is easy to identify with that is what makes you want to hear more of michael's story and wanting to know if he finds grace,positive +i think i've finally seen the worst movie ever made and it hurts me to say that as a big fan of indie cinema gay or otherwise i had high hopes several minutes into the film however the sheriff appeared and has my vote for the worst actor of this or any other century his performance and the dialog he was forced to perform caused me the unusual step of stopping the dvd in its track hours later when i screwed up enough courage to press the play button again it was no better br br aside from the sheriff and his cartoon racist the film has an attractive cast for whom i felt genuine sympathy since they had such a miserable script the idea behind the film is fine using of gay men in the new south the same way it was used on black men in the old south leaving strange fruit hanging from the trees br br with an accomplished writer and director we might have had a movie instead we get fake detective work about homosexuality and a cliché with a the one good white man trying to save the day br br i have no doubt that racism still the fbi is currently investigating a white school bus driver in the back woods of who forced the black kids to get to the back of the bus but this town is a cartoon and it is hard to believe anything you see or hear br br there a few subplots in a weak attempt to try to make the main character more three dimensional but for the most part they also fail miserably br br for the truly the dvd contains some deleted scenes that will leave you running for cover br br the is probably the first movie that makes me believe that writer directors should have to pass a test and get before they can make a film although i would look forward to seeing several of the cast members in better films i would be hard pressed to witness anything else from this director,negative +this film was filled with great acting great musical sounds that blow your mind completely away darius deep was a sharp cat with the and he soon met his with long nina big house 2000 nina put her heart and soul into this role and when she meets up with darius the sparks fly at first and then there is a sort of hate relationship the entire cast of actors made this a very entertaining film with plenty of comedy drama and lots of loving and cheating going on this is a very down to earth film and at the same time shows how everyone eventually has his and her destiny in life and are placed in their little corner of this big world great film enjoy,positive +well i set out with a few friends to see this movie we went an hour before the show started to get good seats so as you can probably imagine we where to see this movie but that excitement soon turned to horror this movie is a complete failure it just to hard to be funny that its sad the script is poorly written and relies to heavy on the actors to make up for it br br the only good acting in the whole movie was from c who was great the plot was weak and even the funny scenes felt forced and unnatural considering that the main actors are some of best comedians it's well special br br i would not recommend this movie to any one because it to hard and never really delivers,negative +almost certainly staged montage of women reading lines very briefly and getting naked not very briefly in front of a anonymous and uncredited almost certainly including producer charles band thrown in are random scenes of surrender many movies primarily lesbian scenes most of the women like riding horses hmmm there is a polish woman who seems to have no interest in acting despite going to an audition a camera that films actresses getting naked behind the screen br br too made up but still beautiful introduces a couple of her own movie scenes and talks in a way to the camera if you enjoy lesbian scenes the one with and taylor from is included and they are probably the best looking lesbian ever weird excuse for a movie and aside from the obvious draw of naked women a frankly dull and uninspiring experience,negative +ever went on youtube well the definite question to that is yes do you see the of and no definite answer br br many people think is a dull and idiotic program and others think it's the best program on the face of the earth i have seen many of the loads of reviews in the head and some giving it a of in my opinion is for the but the show is just awful br br if you did not read the last review here are reasons 1 8 1 2 up drama 3 everything is silly truck for example 4 thinks she's nice but she's mean 5 anyone over the drinking age is stupid 6 sam is but strong 7 no real companies 8 mean teachers br br 9 the just look on the to understand what i mean 10 the also personal information 11 almost every famous thing is insulted insults the japanese race and man to name a few 12 there are too many jokes obsession of meat freddy's computer pulling his shirt off etc 13 the video games based off the show suck 14 freddy has a lack of why it's getting unoriginal 15 the show is targeted towards a female audience i also hate shows directed to a male audiences too so i prefer to be for both 16 the words and no 17 the of laugh tracks br br part 3 coming in early spring just in time for spring break,negative +why isn't this movie on the bottom 100 is without a doubt the worst movie i have seen in all of my fifteen years of life i have never before witnessed such a mess as this absolutely everything about it is awkward and cheaply done br br nobody in the cast gives a somewhat decent performance the dialogue is utterly incoherent and the humor is anything but humorous corbin bernsen was the most painful part of the whole thing i can't help cringe when i recall some of his lines like in or out you're worse than a cat and your lady friend isn't a very good poker player she's just revealed her hand br br the are a joke even i could make more realistic dinosaur effects than these filmmakers have shamelessly done it is an insult to the actual or any dinosaur for that matter not only that but the killing scenes are too gruesome even for me i don't seriously think these animals would rip their victim to and throw pieces all over the ground just to make everything look besides the blood and guts are all useless when you can see the deaths coming from miles and miles away br br i am a big fan of jurassic park movies and of dinosaurs maybe the filmmakers didn't anybody with a shred of intelligence or sense to disregard bad filmmaking to stumble upon this movie on hbo late at night like i did if i could say one thing to anybody involved in this film i would have to quote dr alan grant from the first jurassic park br br just try to show a little respect,negative +this movie appears to have made for the sole purpose of annoying me everything i hate about films is present fake sentimentality extreme bad child actors and more feature that's ignoring the fact that it depicts the extreme ignorance of american sports fans with many of the cast that a football is shaped like a what that's a ball the story follows a group of no that get a new teacher that they like who teaches the class in a short and gets them interested in football naturally they're all rubbish don't forget they're no except for one kid who has moved from el blah blah etc etc and the kids still don't become good but good heart ensues and the no are turned into a bunch of well rounded kids hell even the adults start to come round are turned into caring parents illegal immigrants are let off the hook br br this movie stars steve now before you go off down your local video store to grab yourself a copy hold up a minute is rubbish no no come on let's face it how did this guy ever get to be in a movie i have absolutely no idea and there is nothing in this movie to give me an idea olivia stars along side steve and doesn't impress either she merely seems to be going through the motions and looking nice while doing it although i have no problems with the latter part her performance does the movie no credit the child actors that make up the rest of the cast are just as bad as you would expect from a movie like this most of them are disgusting and or annoying and it doesn't make for pleasant viewing at all there's a goat in the film who plays the and he does a good job but you wouldn't see a movie for a goat so don't bother seeing this movie,negative +you get a good portion of steven seagal and some breathless mountain views along with cow boy scenes or use parts of any remains of the horse you then add a large piece of virus or similar attention it must be more lethal and at least level 4 wrapped around a fat group leader you add one of martial arts and a of explosions and for the taste add the classic red indian for the extra taste serve immediately br br what is the name of the film you get the perhaps the worst film of steven seagal i am sure that seagal tried to say something in this film except the usual i am a cook but also an ex seal but his recipe was confusing and the taste was awful,negative +and it got it in france why not in the rest of the world while the studios keep out expensive post trash will anyone remember him as a fine writer and not the most betrayed by the screen author this side of stephen king this one has it all okay the situations are not always original has minor plot holes and it has a tendency to be too clever some brief times for its own sake but it actually delivers and is obviously a work of love i'd be curious to know what the budget was and for once this is not a cheap tarantino copy well film noir didn't started with tarantino you know will it once again be saved by europe like john movies were so mr can make another one like this if you ever read this mr thank you and se,positive +it is very possible that i simply didn't give the movie a fair enough chance because it was so immediately unappealing to me something similar happened with of but i really should have caught on when i put the film on and my roommate an exchange student from japan immediately started laughing at the movie saying that it sounded dumb now i don't agree that it is dumb the animation is very simple but clearly very skilled it's like classic animation with added layers that add another element of realism to them while remaining strictly in the realm of the surreal at the same time br br but the subject matter is entirely unappealing to me it has an interesting message about and greed but it is wrapped in such an unpleasant package that it is almost not worth learning especially because you already knew it anyway the sound effects while the man is and for example are indeed repulsive br br there was a clever scene of animation as we kept diving endlessly into the hole that the man finds in his head when he pulls the out of his but it goes on for so long that it seems to everything else there is so much stock put into that one sequence that it is almost like the whole movie is about it br br as i said about of this would have been a great thing for a late night tv program like adult swim or its japanese counterpart but an academy award nominated film it gives me the impression that there is not generally a long list of animated short films for the academy to choose from,negative +i found the movie to be very light and enjoyable one knows that the story is not real life like yet the depiction is superb br br lyrics are really good and john travolta in his usual style i like the scene he as an angel gives up his own stuff to bring life back to the dog,positive +a good example of politically correct racism where white men are presented as senseless only there to be and their as noble heroes superior both in their appearance and abilities apart from making the story dull this also the neutral viewer to identify himself with one or the other side it's just too the repetitive score is incredibly annoying as is the voice over the characters lack any depth and the viewer is soon lost between questions like who is this character and what the hell is that supposed to mean photography is wonderful though and on the whole there's a lot of atmosphere to it but nice shots of misty landscapes alone don't save this movie the dvd box uses sutherland as an eye in fact his character could have been played by anyone else because it's basically just an empty shell like most non characters and disappears anyway around halfway the film but if you are eager to see jack bauer in a that's your kind of movie,negative +doll of flesh aka and psycho the snuff this was on my want list for quite a while and then i finally scored a copy on ebay a while back it's never been on dvd and what i got from ebay was a very good quality dvd r which i'm quite satisfied with the movie is i believe the most extreme example of torture porn with an emphasis on porn a woman responds to an ad for a porn movie and goes with the producer to a place where it is filmed the porn is definitely real with the annoying japanese to try and hide the hardcore shots without much success most of the time after the porn movie is shot and the actress is ready to leave she gets over the head with a baseball bat and taken back to the room and in slow shots and in one of the most disgusting scenes the male porn guy her in an open wound in her chest this is after both legs have been severed her arm and a few other this movie the guinea pig series by a long shot in fact they are not even close to the realism although cheap gore effects shown in this movie this is indeed one of the best fake snuff films i have ever seen if not the best now i must warn you that if you are not into this stuff you should stay far far away this movie is very strong and with the real sex it is in a very sick way erotic to an extent and i mean in a very sick way but wherever you come down on this subject material this movie brings the goods home and i would definitely recommend you seek it out after reading about the movie i was expecting something very strong but it that by a bunch,positive +wings and son cole team up to make a film about neo nazi thugs a gay man and a city wings plays the hero and his real life son is the villain fairly low budget film that has not many redeeming features and for some reason no one has seen it perhaps because it is quite a laughable and ridiculous film and the studio realised this maybe wings himself prevented the distribution of after seeing it himself maybe people just didn't want to comment on such a bad film oh well i generally like wings and cole as actors but this was a film that they both should have wings directed wrote and was the lead actor in an extremely bad and stupid film 1 2 out of,negative +when jim first announced he would be doing a new sequel for my favorite series of all time the party massacre series i was i had been waiting for a new installment for literally years so production began and very small bits and pieces on the shoot and the actors involved were released until the shoot wrapped then the of a title change no longer would this new sequel be titled party massacre iv but massacre instead i was a bit disappointed but having a different title would be a very small price to pay for a film i had waited so long to happen i was still extremely intrigued and on the edge of my seat to see it br br maybe a month ago some very advanced copies of the film were released to some extremely lucky viewers who got to see the film months before its release date a few reviews on the net and judging by them i began to become on jim massacre br br tonight i got to see the film for the first time in full length and i am still scratching my head as i read in another review massacre is definitely not a new installment in the party massacre series but a slasher flick all on its own and a bad one at that br br before i get into the of the film let me first state what an enormous fan of jim films i am i always thought him to be a true camp genius with a winner almost every time yes his movies are made on budgets and don't contain the most top notch acting around but they're fun nonetheless they are what they are campy movies you watch when you want to have a good time from house massacre ii to hard to die to mall jim has produced the goods on more than one occasion one of the reasons why i was excited that this film would be his latest project br br massacre does not in my opinion reflect any of the films i had seen this director writer create in the past firstly the production was extremely and the film was actually shot on something i had never seen jim do before the actors were mediocre to say the least and the story is almost laughable the killer is also extremely stupid and reminds you more of your old grandpa rather than an escaped lunatic br br of course the film is with female nudity this is a jim movie we're talking about folks but some of the shots seen here almost seem like they were done for time there is an extremely long shower scene containing the coach that seems to go on forever and it greatly reflects a shower scene in house massacre ii the girl even herself almost in the exact same way br br massacre is also extremely cliched to say the least the opening scene is literally something we've all seen in hundreds of past slasher flicks a guy and a girl making out on the verge of their relationship when you guessed it they're to pieces br br stevens who i've never really considered to be a tremendous actress in the first place also gives one of her and forced performances in her small cameo we're possible cue cards here she recalls some incidents her character endured by the killer seen here twenty years ago to the police while footage of the original party massacre plays why was footage from the original film used if it was definitely not a new i have no idea there is also two explosions seen in this movie that i am almost certain were recycled from other films br br not only does this film footage from past films but it also the scores from other films as well some of the music used in from the deep which was also recycled prior for the can be heard throughout the entire film there are at least two more as well that i cannot identify but am certain have been used before br br after sitting through this film's horrendous acting ridiculous story non existent gore special effects and camcorder like quality i am having some serious concerns toward mister career has the man who delighted audiences with films in the past finally lost his only time will tell oh and let's not forget his film a new installment in the house massacre films now titled final i think i'm seeing a pattern here,negative +a day in the life of a cab driver sometime around christmas the cab driver picks up a fare they have a he drops off the fare he picks up another fare another and so it goes on like this for 90 minutes none of it convincing or interesting for even one minute skip it,negative +i initially tuned in to state because i more or less find the search genre to be interesting tv if nothing else br br i really enjoy ghost hunters because well over half of their result in total and find most haunted to be hilarious with its use of and british women with paris hilton day eyes from fear demonic all shot in lovely night vision green br br state has none of this appeal it feels like it was together from leads that ghost hunters rejected the episodes from trailer trash families and single mothers with sitting around and themselves to an interview with a 5 year old about the monster who lives in his room the monster goes we are told all of these people calling upon a college club to solve their problems the whole show is about ryan and his partner his enormous ego he leads his of eyed around except when a case is deemed too extreme and orders them to remain at the hotel better leave it to the pros ie himself br br the comedy of this show is all in how the participants are ryan his tales of being hunted followed etc by a demon that he first encountered when the catholic church him to assist on a case sorry but the catholic church has people who can do that they don't need the day shift manager at to chip in his 2 cents br br this show is awful shame on a e for this silliness trying to follow in the footsteps of some much better themed shows it's almost unintentionally funny except that ryan is so arrogant and devoid of charisma that watching the show long enough to mock it isn't worth the trouble,negative +i watched two very different holmes adventures this morning but you would be amazed at the similarities br br the was presumably the first collaboration between basil if i were king romeo and juliet and bruce and director roy william it was not their first sherlock holmes adventure as they did one a couple of years before this br br the made an excellent team but i prefer the hammer version which i will talk about later br br holmes relies on a lot of to do his work and i am constantly amused by the mannerisms displayed when they figure something out they always seem to dash on when they find a new clue br br the story itself about keeping a bomb site from the germans in wwii was interesting and kept you focused on the mystery,positive +this movie was clearly an early attempt for a new director but still succeeded in being original and entertaining as well as in some moments thought provoking however i have to say the story would not have come across as well without the stellar performance of paul anthony as he made the well written parts very believable and affecting and the more written parts much more bearable also i have to mention the performance by alan it was refreshing to see him in a part like this he brought a weight to his role that provided a very element to the film as for paul anthony who is this guy why haven't i seen more of him someone give him more roles please,positive +well i was hoping i'd heard wrong about this film as i'm a big fan of and really didn't want to see him slip up but unfortunately this giallo supernatural load of nonsense is just as bad as i'd been lead to believe it would be and that's pretty terrible the plot doesn't work at all as the film attempts to blend murders and a supernatural theme through a and it all feels very forced and silly furthermore the plot doesn't make much sense at all and you have to ask yourself what's the point numerous times throughout the movie the plot focuses on a young woman living in an apartment block and being by a the best thing about the movie is undoubtedly the presence of the beautiful english actress charlotte lewis and unfortunately the good points pretty much stop there there are a handful of deaths scenes some of which are gory but all of which are incredibly stupid the one that sees someone get killed by sticks out especially in that respect overall i really can't recommend this to anyone non fans are unlikely to impressed and fans are likely to find the film depressing avoid,negative +nurse betty has that odd but winning combination of a inducing plot with extraordinary characters in the same way i on first viewing then realized i was still thinking about it days later and enjoying it somehow i liked nurse betty a lot more the day after i saw it hard to understand harder to explain as others have said it's quite forced in many ways but that seems to be part of what makes it so striking br br fair job by greg kinnear great work from morgan freeman although i worry that he's being stereotyped as the villain chris rock was good but not a standout z is so natural it's unnerving i e unnerving to be natural playing someone not well in the head also liked the sort of performance from allison in a small part br br don't go expecting as much of a road movie as you might assume from some there is road but it's only barely relevant rated 8 10,positive +is an australian comedy drama set in the world war 2 japanese prisoner of war camp of that name the story cuts between past events and the present day when the aged veterans plan a reunion this is a much and controversial miniseries here in australia the budget ran over 6 5 million dollars historians and veterans it's authenticity and critics the uneasy mix of comedy and drama shades of pearl harbor series writer john doyle half of the successful roy h g comedy team has tried to defend himself with comments about the characters are of actual people the troops used comedy to cope with the situation it's only based on actual events one of our actors was actually there etc i don't have a problem with any of these points many superb fictional and factual dramas have come out of the japanese p o w camp experience king rat merry christmas mr lawrence bridge on the river paradise road empire of the sun blood and a town like alice black comedy has often been used successfully in p o w dramas life is beautiful the great escape seven 17 the story and even heroes so why is a monumental failure the acting in is uniformly excellent the music and cinematography is good it is the writing and direction that have let it down every scene seemed to give me waves of when anthony hayes is made to stand in the blazing sun i thought didn't i see alec guinness do this in bridge on the river the sudden flashes into surreal song dance brought back dennis singing detective but without the this happened so often it of lazy writing by cut and rather than homage the constant between the past and present stories left me unable to concentrate on either flash forward and flash back can be a useful tool here it left me from characters where intensity was called for the is overdone every conversation seemed to include stone the bloody such that i was saying i get the point i know they're cultural stereotyping extended to the british and japanese too sadistic young japanese officer uptight british officer japanese fun loving etc i thought i was watching heroes on the river after 3 episodes i'm out,negative +don't waste your time one of those cool looking boxes that you pick up at blockbuster on a but not even worth that you will not say it's so bad it's good just it's bad the greatest american hero is a writer who a cabin on african island called snake island some other tourists are on the boat that drops him off but they are not staying on the island they just stop there to let off the writer then the boat is stranded there and in true hollywood originality the one and only radio on the island is so they start walking around and see a bunch of snakes like hundreds of them which really became annoying and you knew the plot would go nowhere it's not like there ever was one main snake like a giant mutated snake or an extra king of all snakes instead there are just a bunch of ham and snakes of all kinds of their only goal then was to escape the island as opposed to having to the enemy because there were so many snakes you knew they couldn't possibly try to kill them all and they didn't try i've seen a similar movie where a town was haunted by snakes and they lead all the snakes into a cave then blew it up at least then you get the feeling that the good guys killed the bad guys and it was a normal ending in snake island by the way every single character was shocked to see snakes on the island it's named snake island for a reason there was no plan other than trying to get gas for the stupid boat oh they never do get gas by the way they just happen to find another boat on the island already up,negative +when i first saw the poster of this movie i it off as another low budget movie youth after some days when it finally made it to the theaters one of my friends told me it's a good one br br a year later the first time when i saw the that was going to be aired on television and the moment finally came as i channels and for a moment i stopped to watch and that's it i ended up watching the whole movie br br and by now 3 later i'd have watched the movie at least 7 8 times and i don't really watch movies again and again br br this movie is great because it tries to be different when all movies were composed of 6 songs and 4 fights br br it's a simple movie a bit slow but a very gripping screenplay no loose ends in the movie very well dialogues which is really really hard to find by br br music is both classic and great by some great also come in the through out the movie br br cinematography deserves a mention editing is not slick but adequate for a romantic one such as this br br but what really blows you out in this movie is two things 1 the way each scene has been treated with respect by the now famous br br 2 the beautiful lyrics by br br and one more thing deserves a special mention part of her success attributed to for her such a beautiful voice really tell you the voice does wonders to me br br the other actors are equally good in the title character and the little girl and the way she shouts when she gets a new dog br br ultimately i can tell you this movie is soon on its way to be another classic with those old classic romantic ones along with another classic romantic piece,positive +i was surprised by how emotionally invested i became in this film peter boyle is a tour de force as the working class socially conservative joe i actually with some of his complaints of course he doesn't mention the underlying historical economic reasons for many of his prejudices the film also provides interesting insight into the rapid change american society was at this time drugs casual sex and the challenging of authority became in and replaced the more time traditions of respect for god country and susan sarandon fans will be delighted joe is her film debut she also provides viewers with a visual treat near the beginning of the film recommended 8 10,positive +how anyone can praise this crude film version after seeing the marvelous bridge with leigh and robert taylor is beyond br br mae myra is a far cry from the role as played by leigh in the remake she plays a common american girl with a brooklyn accent and the yeah are a bit jarring when one is expecting a less coarse character billed in final credits as kent is wildly improbable as a soldier smitten with her no matter how many times she lets him down bette davis has a nothing role in a bit part br br their melodramatic during the last twenty minutes of the film are beyond belief bits of overacting even given the fact that this is a version of the story when sound was only a few years old and silent acting was still the rage br br just awful and it ends abruptly with clarke losing her life during a bombing on the bridge the end br br it has none of the beautifully performances in the mgm remake of 1940 including a sterling supporting cast instead this one is with low budget production values and i mean a shoe string budget with no subtlety at all and there's no pre code in the scene where myra tells the lady why she must not marry her son roy she simply says i picked him up on bridge explanation over nothing bold there br br up for once the original is not the best version by any means leigh and robert taylor have never been as myra and roy in the tender acted 1940 film classic,negative +the title comes from an an adolescent in a facility makes on the front cover of his school book on government titled the united states he adds of his name br br many characterizations in this movie work well the scenes between ryan and malone pearl don cheadle and father fitzgerald spacey as well as with and sister julie michelle williams among many others br br but the central thread of this movie the on which everything hangs is the character and motives of he's a somewhat shy passive nice high school student who introduces himself to whom we find is going to an alternative school because of a past history of drug problems in family she has a sister julie who's just from high school and preparing to go on to college boy friend age and whose parents' had recently died is also living with them br br lives with his mother his father kevin spacey and mother have long been divorced and his father is a famous novelist is very the young boy in the sixth sense saw dead people sees teenage lovers and that years later they will divorce that pain is going to follow many people's present experience of happiness but for reasons that are never made explicit his gift seems to operate some times for some people some relationships and not for others br br parts of the movie feel a bit like a derivative from american beauty the sixth sense the graduate and possibly some others i didn't recognize that wouldn't be bad if only the character of worked br br i think did a great job of playing but the script and the story limitations would such an young man ever be homicidal even for reasons nothing in the film gives a reason for this i'm a retired with much experience working with families and teenagers while many of the reactions shown in the film work this part this most essential element certainly does not br br and there is at least one other element which in my experience would not fit with real life although it's not as critical the reason for the differences between the sisters and julie are never hinted at but that's okay once two begin different roles one the all good girl the other the troubled one the roles themselves can begin driving each other to more extreme positions for the troubled one it's kind of what do i have to do to be loved around here give up being me and become julie and the pressure to live up to being the all good parent pleasing child is no less intense on julie so why would she break up with her boy friend of long standing and of whom her parents so obviously br br don cheadle was good as teacher all others were good in their parts 98 of the scenes were good what was missing was that crucial slip in understanding human nature br br good acting flawed story and psychology worth seeing not a total loss,positive +my 2nd favorite film of 1970 after five easy pieces was totally by a lot of idiots calling in an audience piece of trash peter boyle a well known liberal is incredible as the hard working stiff who has a few problems with the younger generation he's a frightening dude but has a great imagination and is very funny i was a teenage liberal when this was released but as horrifying as joe seemed to me he also me up susan sarandon in her first role is perfect and a mixed up stone rich fox the dinner scene in queens is hilarious and insightful for everybody involved br br this was not an exploitation film and the script which was oscar nominated should have won that year the director just didn't waste enough money making it to give it enough credibility in hollywood no matter your political then and now you'll like somebody in this film a definite 9 out of 10 it's on dvd and video check it out,positive +having sat and watched this film i can only wonder at the reasons for creating the film this was without a doubt one of the worst films i've ever seen and had no redeeming features br br if it was supposed to be funny then it might have managed to be a very weak comedy but as an action thriller it was dire br br slow no plot no real action nothing approaching good dialogue and i've no idea about the characters what else can i say avoid,negative +this film is just plain lovely it's funny as hell and as old as the hills the acting is superb and it's fascinating seeing post war britain and how we used to behave in those days this seems to have been some pre runner to the st films given the and margaret connection there's also a very young george cole in there who appeared in many st films but i don't myself understand the connection it was shown on recently after a biography of st creator ronald however i missed enough of the biography to miss the connection with this film anyway a great film in its own right and something that should be for all time,positive +if you have plenty of time to kill and the dvd was given to you by your friend for free but still it may require lot of courage to watch this film which does not have good script or humor for that matter br br on the acting front is frozen in time acting kapoor was slightly better than in this movie was good at comedy was usual br br the story revolves around a college campus where is a bad boy n is the good one they pretend to be the opposite of respective nature and so the story goes on br br watch it only if you don't have any thing to do and the film is running on your local cable tv,negative +don't change your husband is on the one hand the beginning of a series of lightweight marital comedies from cecil b demille on the other it is his first picture to star gloria probably the greatest actress of the silent era and is the film which made her a star br br although the old demille formula was beginning to change and his films were becoming and less purely visual with such an performer as we regain much of that silent storytelling style her character does very little but conveys volumes through subtle gesture and facial expression – with a particular talent for looks of disdain in real life was herself coming towards the end of her disastrous marriage to wallace and it's possible that this fact her convincing performance br br as if to best his leading talents use of framing and close ups is particularly strong here he uses cinematic technique to show off the acting – often holding in lengthy close ups at key moments – and also to the story visually for example when we are introduced to the character of she is shown reflected three times in a dressing table mirror her character disappears from the story only to become important towards the end that attention grabbing first shot of her helps us remember who she was later at the dinner and future husband number two cody are framed together in one shot while elliot is isolated in his own frame also – and this is a sign of the increasing sophistication of cinema in general – there is much use of reaction shots – for example the glance of the bishop when cody acts out his intentions with the wedding figure dolls br br in contrast to visual narrative method was the increasingly screen writing of his as i've in several other comments could put together a strong and dramatic story but like demille she tended to state her themes in a somewhat pretentious and flamboyant style and so we get these very long quasi philosophical title cards about the of married life which if they improve the story at all it is only because they are unintentionally funny for example only could come up with a line like fate sometimes in christmas shopping fortunately though in this picture these titles mostly introduce scenes rather than break them up br br although the pictures he made around this time tended to be small scale it is at this point that demille seemed to develop his taste for the spectacular you can see him start to sneak in excuses for a bit of like the little fantasy scenes of being with pleasure wealth and love it wouldn't be until the early after the on historical pictures was lifted that he would get the chance to go all out with the grand spectacle br br all in all don't change your husband is a fairly decent demille silent picture although to be honest it is only really the presence gloria that lifts it above the average it's curious though that this is supposedly a comedy and was cast at least in part because of her background at mack slapstick factory she hated comedy acting and here gives a dramatic rather than a comic performance it makes sense then that the only straight drama she did with demille male and female was by far the strongest of their,positive +this is by far my favorite action movie but what makes it work is not the elaborate explosions and shoot

'the long from scene to action scene to scene and back again never a dull moment br br this has to be jackson's funniest role ever and the amazing thing is that he is playing one of the most normal

it to the big time lou myers as half step wilson provides many hilarious moments,positive +earth has been destroyed in a nuclear holocaust well parts of the earth because somewhere in italy a band of survivors those without are up in a massive mansion surrounded by lush grounds waiting for the next opportunity to go hunting for those with blood the final is the story of one of their would be victims alan william who looks not surprisingly a lot like kurt russell and his efforts to take down the hunters who are led by and harrison jr alan has been trained to kill by former cop sam woody who mostly hangs around giving his moral support and for meat is by far the best thing about the film though he doesn't look at all well and only appears for about a third of the running time as for the story it's a of elements from better films and stories including ten little indians the most dangerous game and escape from new york the final moves along at a fair pace and provides reasonable entertainment for less action fans,negative +wallace and are the main characters in some of the best cartoons ever crafted the excellent mix of visual humor and makes a grand day out the wrong and also a close some of the best animated footage ever put on television winning several oscars and also countless other awards nick park became quite the popular man in the u k yet his impact on the united states has not been big after the third wallace and short there was all this about a full length wallace and movie yet for years nothing had happened then in 2000 instead of a full length wallace and film we get another brilliant film from nick park which was chicken run which almost got nominated for best picture in the academy awards perhaps it was the success of this film that ultimately drove park to finally work on a wallace and project br br 5 years later these kinds of films do take long you know and a lot of anticipation wallace and finally hits the big screen despite the rather weak trailers and marketing campaign this movie delivers in so many ways this film will be a delight for both kids and parents with tons of adult humor hidden beneath the brilliant animation wallace and curse of the were rabbit is one of the few films that perfectly manages to equally appeal to both kids and adults this rather difficult technique is one that only pixar has already and has had a lot of trouble doing lately despite the slapped onto the poster this film is mainly from the very creative staff of animations br br wallace and are first seen running a business that the from being ruined by which apparently had been running around wild and in great numbers lately their business has gotten them plenty of respect from the others living in the town because a gigantic contest was rapidly approaching and the needed protection complications when wallace attempts to manipulate the into not liking and then a great eating machine is unleashed on the area it is up to wallace and to find the gigantic animal and stop it from eating away through gardens and also their from the to add to that wallace wants to impress lady which also captured the attention of a by the name of victor simple plot yes but there is more than meets the eye be prepared for a few fun surprises along the way kind of like in the other wallace and cartoons br br in animated films with little dialogue it is the animation that has to set the pacing and the mood of the film despite 5 years to produce only 85 minutes of footage the payoff is fantastic there is a massive amount of detail that requires more than one viewing to truly notice even more incredible than the detailed and nearly flawless animation is the truly amount of visual humor put into the film whether it is a placed shot or normal put into the funniest position possible or it is the oh so adorable that is constantly shown in the film most curse of the were humor comes strictly from just watching the movie itself and catching all the references before it is too late just picture the movie except funnier much fewer pop culture references and better animation br br casting was great even though in a film with not much dialogue it was not that important peter yet again does a wonderful job as wallace even though in this movie there was no stand out quote that can be used anytime the wrong it's the wrong and they've gone wrong ralph does a superb job as the lead villain victor and also helena bonham carter known as the crazy female lead in the cult hit fight club lends her lovely voice as she plays love interest even though nothing could top the final chase in the wrong curse of the rabbit did have plenty of action scenes including one fantastically done chase scene between and evil dog last but not least the really steal the show at some moments whether it is their cute expressions their funny movements or their howling the in the film even take some of the glory from the main stars the funniest rabbit in the movie is the cursed rabbit himself to the very end of the movie he had the audience rolling in laughter br br bottom line despite not being as memorable as the wrong this film is just as good and entertaining as chicken run unlike almost every movie to come out this year the movie does not drag at all in at a short 85 minutes yet containing so much joy and fun it will leave everyone watching it asking for more there is very little wrong with the film it was a pure delight to watch this film is a total contrast of the decent yet vulgar uncut raw movies that have made a surprising amount of money earlier this year 40 year old virgin wedding and sin city and for families and those who want harmless entertainment that is a good thing highly recommend this is the top animated movie to come out this year and among the best we have seen this decade wallace and curse of the were rabbit totally harmless fun from second 1 to second 5 100,positive +the relationship between the main characters i thought was very realistic how the two end up involved is believable it doesn't have that whole oh yeah right that most hollywood movies have not too mention how they captured the sexy beautiful and painful side of i am a student and i love that they showed how hard it is on the body hands and yeah those fabric burns are brutal definitely a must see for the relationship as well as the art that is made in the movie i loved it i'm happy with the way the movie ended but i definitely wanted to see more be sure to stay through the credits for a special treat great scene,positive +i have watched two episodes so far i really like it even though i am no longer in college it makes me miss the wonderful college life i wish that i spent a little more time i kind of identify myself with rusty when i was a my big brother was not like at all i wish that i had a big brother like him so if a show like this can actually make people to identify themselves with the characters then it is a pretty good show br br it is more realistic than american pie with less explicit sex jokes can we also call this a younger version of desperate wives some of the writers must be themselves the story seems to reflect somewhat of the real and life it was shot in high definition and they actually filmed outside instead of inside of studios so the picture quality is very good they could easily make this a good film unlike a movie which can only last a few hours i can have about 45 minutes of fun watching it free on tv weekly br br the casting is excellent the actors are about the right age and they are new and fresh so that makes them more real this show practically is about everyone there are asian and black frat boys and girls in the show as well it is almost a little shocking that they had a little story about two guys in the had sex in first episode then tried to hook up again in the second episode i don't think that i have seen anything like this on tv before this show somehow reminded me about a warner tv show of teenagers called young americans which got canceled in early 2001 in that show a girl who dressed like a man a guy and that guy thought that she was a male homosexual br br greek life can be fun but on the same time students have to study for etc by the time when people actually have some free time in their lives there is no of for them to join any more i don't know how long this show will last sooner or later those people will have to graduate college too maybe they will find some new actors for another 4 years of fun college life,positive +i don't go for that many heist comedies and i might not care for this one if it weren't for the actors when it was made and when i first saw it just a few years later it's almost too similar to the happening even though it's obviously a much less serious comedy than that one mafia figure takes over his own kidnapping or rather turns it in a different direction altogether of course welch didn't play the kind of sharp character faye did in the happening but that doesn't make it a sexist film either she was practically playing a stock character almost her version of a but i'm completely biased it's among the first films i ever saw with her and at the time i saw it you couldn't turn around without seeing a poster of her luckily i think robert wagner was really just right as the neither thoroughly likable nor likable leader of the group as were edward g robinson naturally and de and an actor who always managed to be funny,positive +spoilers br br as you may know i have been commenting on a lot of silent short films in the past months now i have no idea why i am commenting on willie i guess i was just desperate to comment on anything so i watched this and now i am commenting on it this or course is one of the very first cartoons and i believe it is not the first cartoon with sound br br here is the plot mickey mouse is driving a when pete throws him off and he drives it when they stop for mouse tried to get on but failed miserably mickey gets her up by a then a goat eats her sheet of paper with turkey in the straw on it they use the goat to make the song when i say that i mean that they used the goat as a mickey plays the animals on the for to the song then an angry pete throws mickey in a room and mickey is forced to for the rest of the day br br overall this is yet another groundbreaking silent short film i mean this is the third mickey mouse cartoon yes the third also this is not the first cartoon with sound i believe there were two more before this one either way this film is really really groundbreaking was also more violent than he is i mean he throws a at a bird and may have brutally slaughtered it br br 9 10 br br recommended films plane crazy,positive +i got this for my birthday in a box set under the name broke skull well after watching one on the dvd and being pleasantly surprised i popped this sucker in it was worse than i had expected and i didn't expect much this movie is basically a convoluted story about a guy who dies and comes back to life with the mob and other bull crap there was some interesting ideas in this that were never followed up on now everybody has been saying there was a lot of gore can somebody tell me were i saw a bad effect of a head being crushed brain or something and blood coming from the penis area two times i have to say the the part were the guy gets his man hood bitten off made me that was the only good thing about this movie and that gay sex scene was just thrown in there for no reason the acting in this was atrocious really it blew that asian chick was annoying then the annoying mexican boyfriend who comes in to just be killed i say if you get this in a box set that is fine but don't spend any money on it at all,negative +i love this movie and all aspects of it well directed as a comedy and as a drama the acting is tremendous performed by an all star cast who play the high society new york perfectly the scenery is incredible totally breathtaking i also love the story a successful nyc architect who is going through a crisis leaves his cheating wife and runs off to a greek island to hide out with his daughter who chooses to go with him br br i just cannot express my love affair enough regarding this movie show me the magic,positive +warning spoilers dear roger br br during your distinguished career you've made a wide range of entertainment some good some night of the blood beast falls in the latter category it's not as awful as say the phantom from 10 000 or maybe the horror nonetheless one of my greatest criticisms of this movie is that i could have made it for you faster better and cheaper br br let's start with the and titles roger the rocket sequences look like something from disney's man into space not as good of course the futuristic looks like nothing in contemporary 1958 why didn't you just use a or even a launch better still why not entirely with the launch and start with a shot of space and the capsule floating in it that's what i would have done for you roger second why have the spaceship crash upon even a middle school physics student could have told you your astronaut would have arrived on earth extra and largely i would have shown your astronaut becoming possessed by the monster maybe by using that great negative positive stuff you used in war of the losing contact with earth and landing in the wilderness that would also explain how you blood beast could your astronaut during the tremendous heat of but still be destroyed by fire even with these the first half of your movie is pretty good had you spent some money on decent music it would have been as good as a mediocre episode of outer limits but once again your writer describes ed nelson as the designer of the landing system then gives him some stupid dialogue regarding the biggest problem with the second half of night of the blood beast is michael he's terrible as the doomed astronaut you should have fired him on the spot and replaced him with ed nelson you could have combined with those of john and saved yourself the cost of one actor i don't know if you actually paid any of these people but at least you would saved the cost of three a day i'd had also the parrot costume and spent the extra money using makeup to have the astronaut turn into the blood beast maybe that was a little too close to the unknown for you but it would have helped the pace of the second half immensely if you are going to have a blood beast wouldn't it be a good idea to show a little blood yeah i know the title comes from the in the blood but could've done a lot better job for you if he a little chocolate around after all it looks like blood in black and white that cost you maybe two bucks i'd have also used some closeups for some reason insipid dialogue and bad acting don't seem quite so bad in closeups look at almost 70s tv series and you'll see what i mean oh in closing roger a note to your writer you can't use a to show some poor full of alien when you don't have any electricity remember you fried the in the first reel oh and i almost forgot roger couldn't you afford a fake knife you know the kind where the blade goes into the handle i had one of those when i was 9 which also happens to be the year night of the blood beast was made it cost maybe another two bucks i think i knew enough then to make you a better movie i know i know enough now to do so so roger if you decide to remake night of the blood beast or if you are looking for a writer director to work with you on some other project i'm your man i'll work cheap 'cause i'd really like to make a movie for you roger br br i give night of the blood beast a 3 special note if you like to watch movies like night of the blood beast the dvd i bought for 3 99 was very good quality you can also get night of the blood beast along with a lot of other terrible horror scifi movies at places like for about 6,negative +a to the old fashioned westerns of the 30s and 40s such as dodge city dallas has a number of things going for it gary cooper at his coolest blazing technicolor

only film that i have ever walked out on and since then i have never seen it available to rent anywhere i can't spoil it for anyone i can barely remember it to think looking at the cast it seemed a winner with john directing but good god they must have been paid a whole lot for this drivel all i can seem to recall is that the dad goes missing and the family try to search for him by trying to put an actual photograph into the disc drive of a computer i walked out after about half an hour of this i must confess though i'd love to see if i can get a copy just to see if it really was that bad br br it wouldn't surprise me if this was on every actor's black list i mean christopher lee was in this the legend of all bad guys who'd been in star wars and lord of the rings as i said black listed movie the,negative +as i sit back after watching wong 1994 movie of time – more specifically the 2008 re edit and re release with the word slapped on the end of the title – i wonder what went wrong i wonder why the film just didn't work out at all i wonder why the movie failed to score any major points in my book in particular what was it about the film which dragged it down and made it the director's worst film of his career br br well it's not too hard to figure out really let me just say that it truly is a shame that so abruptly went down this hell hole of mediocrity and in especially considering the fact that in the same year he released express one of his enduring and an absolutely sublime film so – what went wrong it would be suitable to consider of time as somewhat of an experimental film our director essentially places his own style of film making and places it in an entirely different setting mood and atmosphere what results is a film which is all over the place and simply does not work out hence it would be even to call of time a failed experiment bold and innovative but a failure nonetheless br br let me elaborate those who have seen the films of mr a hong kong born film auteur who's made his mark on the art house world since his debut in the late 80's will know that there is an aesthetic which all of his movies together essentially and frankly speaking they're all colourful thought provoking subtly humorous and meaningful of life love and loss the same formula is into of time however the regular setting of hong kong is ridden of and in its we're placed into the setting of ancient china and the land of the legendary martial arts warriors and br br into this quasi adventure historical caper is the typical love story this time involving an hit man who has moved to the middle of the desert and is carrying out contract killings however i must stop myself there description of characters is a useless thing to do why because not a single character in of time is worth mentioning or nothing what a bland cast and what a waste of talent the case of of time contains nearly all regular br br not only that but the film is essentially endless rambling in a horrendous almost non existent narrative structure one of the main reasons why of of time it is because it seems to possess no plot whatsoever let alone a semblance or an indication of one you can definitely see what they're getting at even from the first two three minutes maybe less of the film perhaps it's just the setting of ancient china which is and inappropriate for typical film making style i like to think however unfortunate it may be that mr just stuffed up big time here br br one thing that a reviewer can actually compliment in of time albeit said compliment being isolated is another director trademark – wonderful colourful and what colour is composed on screen what glorious are painted for us and what breathtaking landscapes and imagery are captured for us throughout the entire movie we can at least take this as a sign that wong is still there at heart and it's just the film which is so and his usually commendable nuance although the visuals aren't enough for us to fully for this disastrous venture they're enough to make the film worthwhile – and at least we don't walk out of the movie in a completely and totally mood now that there's something we can think of nicely br br the film is essentially a film following in the style of say legendary japanese filmmaker kurosawa however one thing film from best and that's that in the japanese director's films everything together and simply works in of time nothing seems to work attempt to make a genuinely profound film let alone an intellectual and provocative movie in general terms is a br br claims that making of time exhausted him and that he needed time to clear his head it must've certainly been a effort on his behalf as his are in the film and transferred to us directly – i mean just watching the film is an effort and now i need time to clear my head of this unpleasant movie going experience,negative +compared to the recent gore flick hostel which this movie reminded me a lot of i would say that see no evil is slightly better but not by much the very complex plot involves a handful of who are sent to clean up a hotel for a shorter jail sentence the kids soon end up being killed off by a religious psychopath who is them of their sins i guess the one thing i most prior to seeing this was the fact that it a wwe wrestler kane he ended up doing a decent job considering he only had 2 one word lines in the movie there are a couple fairly gory moments mainly involving eye and a quite memorable scene in which a girl gets a shoved down her throat probably the most effective demise in the movie br br i can't say that this movie really shows us anything new and is definitely far from great can't recommend it,negative +i have been looking forward to the release of this dvd and it's follow up female prisoner grudge song for some time i very much enjoyed the first two movies of this series after just watching this film i would have to say that this is probably my favorite of the three br br all three of these movies were directed by what is great about them though is that even though they all feature the same lead character wonderfully played by they are each vastly different from the others br br the first movie female prisoner is more or less a typical women in prison movie but the character of is very intriguing very reminiscent of the anti heroes of many spaghetti westerns and the director often used some very interesting and unusual visual approaches to the material br br the second movie female convict is a real tour de force not so much a movie as the bulk of the film has and six other escaped inmates on the br br this movie female prisoner beast stable is the third in the series and the last one directed by this one plays out as much more of a crime drama once again our heroine is on the run but this time out she has managed to maintain a certain amount of in her life relatively speaking anyway she gets a job she finds a place to live she makes a friend on the outside but of course everything has to unravel eventually beast stable has a more straight forward story that is told at a more pace than its predecessors but i found it to be engaging from beginning to end and don't worry there is still plenty of to go around in this movie but i think these movies most exploitation films because the more disturbing elements are played in a tone rather than being used exclusively for in your face shock value yes there were definitely moments in this movie where i but i didn't feel that they from the value of the story well maybe a time or two one thing i have greatly enjoyed about these films is the continued build up of with this entry character development is used much more than in the previous two we get to see that she is much more than just a stone hearted vengeful br br as i mentioned earlier in this review a fourth movie followed it also features as but had a different director without giving anything away i want to mention that beast stable ends in such a way as to make a sequel completely unnecessary the fourth film is still quite good but it seems to play as a superfluous to a mind blowing trilogy br br i would highly recommend this movie to anyone interested in out of the ordinary films beast stable can be enjoyed as a stand alone piece as can the first two movies but i would also recommend watching the others first if you have not already done so,positive +before this clip music videos were merely to display an artist michael jackson's thriller created a whole new section of music videos which can honestly be called mini movies thriller follows a couple as they travel to the girl's house from a movie on the way they encounter zombies announced by the immortal vincent price my favorite part is where the zombies in on the couple and the girl turns to see that michael has turned into one of them then they do a little dance the scariest thing about thriller may be the fact that it is consistently more fun and enjoyable than a lot of movies that are made after twenty years it remains the music video br br p s my music video top 5 5 madonna like a 4 guns sweet child of mine 3 nine inch nails closer 2 peter gabriel 1 michael jackson thriller,positive +this film promises much but delivers little the basic problem has to do with the inclusion of charlotte character in this film immigrants from did not need a in any way the movie may have needed her but new citizens certainly did not in my opinion the decision to include her destroys the continuity of the film this is particularly since it seems to not only the characters in the movie but also the history of itself immigrants themselves were heroic figures fully capable of getting along without having to satisfied what i believer to be a image of the white man's burden i wonder if someone will make a movie of irish immigrants which will include a woman as a major character the left considers seven aspects of film acting production sets dialogue artistry film continuity plot and character development on a scale from high of 10 for excellent 5 for average and 1 for needs help both film continuity and plot rate a low of 1 the continuity as discussed above is further by the ending does not a film of such important historical significance deserve more than a conclusion which reminds one of marc the plot is simple enough until it seems to become with too much time in the old country too little time on the ship and too much emphasis on the ending the acting and character development is average since all the characters are fixed throughout the film and the inclusion of the speaking perfect english almost turns the movie into a satire where's when you need him the production sets the dialogue and the artistry are very good each rating a 10 the sets in on the ship and on island are as good as one can find the dialogue is marvelous and the singing is superb i agree with scorsese that listening to the is a pleasure note that the immigrants speak of america not the united states the ideal vs the political reality the are many good artistic scenes with dreams of america gold and giant among the best the average left is 5 25 raised to a 7 0 when with the imdb scale one other notion seems to run through island experience the of pass immigrants was later in 2006 one only had to pay a or

only regret for watching this movie is that it wasn't longer,positive +my first impression when i read the synopsis for the upcoming movie was that it was going to be very very different from the book the movie trailer said that the movie is supposed to take place when vivian is 19 years old after her parents were killed in a fire in america she meets an aspiring graphic novelist working in a chocolate shop in the day she must accept that she will never be normal because every full moon she becomes a a thought to be mythical creature that can be closely compared to a werewolf br br most of the little changes didn't sound too bad to me even though i am a fan of the book with the shared titled by curtis i knew it would be different but i wanted to see it to support the book thinking that an age change a setting change and a few little changes wouldn't impact the storyline as a whole enough to make me want to tear my eyes out of their and leave myself bleeding on the movie theatre ground br br the movie unnecessarily killed off many important characters one being mother right off the bat in the fire that was supposed to have killed her father i pushed that aside and forth into the movie weary and slightly annoyed running through romania the camera angles were decent the scenery was beautiful and the music was interesting but it left me with the impression of why does vivian look like that and why is she wearing a jumping to later parts of the movie i must say that i am surprised that the screenplay writers seemed to support incest in a way and rather than sticking to the character relationship from the book between vivian and the leader of the five now became her cousin through her surprise aunt who in the novel was the bitter and hated rival of mother and might i add no way related to either of them br br to top off character gabriel had somehow become the leader of the pack and obsessed over vivian being his mate so they could fulfill some nonexistent prophecy not only did his physical appearance take a complete from the description in the book he was apparently also the father of yes that's right it's a nice little incestuous of all up tight br br little things that me were scenes like the forest there was a red head that stood out from the rest of the crowd the one who their enemy before their prey was set free to run and be hunted why was she there why did she look like i suppose my mind is not vast enough to understand why such a character had to exist in the movie without any explanation as to why she existed other than to kiss pretty victims br br i loved how the was completely cut out of the movie i loved how past was what between the supposedly dramatic scene where he was telling vivian about how his father wanted him to learn self defense and then beat his father up in self defense to make him seem like such a tragic character br br character are a lot of fun when they are completely unnecessary at the end of the movie i felt as if some person over the novel down half the list of character names drew a few connections here and there mentioned that gabriel was a bit of a jerk vivian fell in love with he fears her when he finds out she is a of the legends and somebody is killed by a silver bullet and there is some sort of happy ending because vivian finally feels accepted by somebody who loves her for who she is br br i gave this movie a 2 10 because the camera shots were relatively decent and the casting could have been worse but as far as directing goes why do the leap into the air in human form as if they want to fly with their backs and to leap from high places briefly and then fall onto the ground as wolves the only aspects of this movie that even had me watch it through to the very sorry ending were the wolves the beautiful scenery and the eye candy boys br br all together i must say that in order to enjoy this film at all one must be ready for strange happenings that are not always explained incestuous and have either not liked the book or have not read the book,negative +this movie without doubt is the best i have seen and really shows what british talent can do it's effects are exceedingly good considering the movie is set in the mid 18th century and all the and disgusting filth of england at the time is captured very well the character's are developed and fleshed out from antics to his development into and 'the gentleman contrast well with robert who's cynicism and honour show that you can love a thief and a criminal i quote got more honour in his little finger than

movie would be something like a road trip american pie deal but i was wrong this movie is one of the dumbest i've seen in a long time the version you in to watching but will completely disappoint you the acting was terrible and sound effects just it appeared very low budget with the entire setting taking place in the same building go out and get or road trip instead i can't believe national lampoon put its name on this don't buy it don't rent it don't waste 2 hours of your life on this,negative +this is clearly a french film it is about young group of revolutionary people it moves very slowly long takes long closeups a minute or more devoted to an attempt to light a full of a long take on how a group a car and burns it it is a black and white film the subtitles were white so about a third of the time they were why do they do this i walked out after about an hour and three quarters when it became clear that this picture was going nowhere slow i was not the first to walk out it was the first time i walked out of a picture in my long lifetime well maybe the second,negative +this film with only two characters takes you closer to these two people the and the prisoner than most films take you to any character however well crafted br br the sheer confusion terror and pain which madeleine character is deeply disturbing as is alan sadistic yet charming br br this film is all too possible and builds to a shocking climax the effect of the film as a whole leaving you sitting in silence at the end it'll haunt you for a long time,positive +charles bronson is back in his most famous role in my opinion this is by far the best film of the series and my favorite movie ever this movie doesn't take itself seriously because the filmmakers knew that all the social commentary that was necessary was put across in the first film and made this film for bronson fans not for the critics and it works has been unfairly criticized as trash and a weary entry in a worn out series these statements would be true if the film was made to be taken seriously or to spread a statement but it wasn't if you take it as what it is is just a fun action packed romp with charlie doing to street what we all wish we could do the action is non stop the atmosphere is great and the movie is just out and out the best bronson flick ever made you can tell that the penny cannon group spent a lot of money on this one it is believed that bronson thought this film was too violent and that was the reason why winner didn't direct any of the following entries i can understand his concern but as is always the case of sequels you have to push the even further to pass a previous entry in any case this movie was no more violent than any other movie made during this time what makes the best of the series and my favorite film ever not the best just my favorite is the action charlie's presence memorable villains and it's ability to get the viewers to jump on the the first film may be the most technically well made but this one is the most fun for once charlie actually has some clever lines although he doesn't say much and a halfway interesting story photography action and direction to back him up charlie has never been more intense or super cool than in this one yes it's maybe it does promote stereotypes and maybe it is the same story as before but films always have and always will stand for defending the common man and giving his audience what they want to see many argue that the series its' audience my is that the movies don't manipulate us the fans are the ones in charge we demand that bronson blow away deserving and in turn winner and co deliver the goods and for those of you who still want to put it down remember a few things was the 1 movie in america when it came out and was among the viewing favorites of millions of people on video and television because they realize that not all films have to be epics they just have to be fun 10 you can't get any better john,positive +i was very moved by the young life experiences of a man who rose so high in the academic world a hard life surrounded by the love of a close family and extended family of companion workers created a person able to succeed in the world for the most part the hispanic culture is shown as i have always observed and admired optimistic and truly family oriented the points of religious were quite authentic to the catholic church without a doubt the actress who played the mother deserves an academy award her for her missing son moved me to tears i will recommend this stunningly thoughtful film to my friends and family,positive +one of the best movies i have seen in a very long time has a way of looking at things that is completely unique and this movie does not disappoint br br this movie has you guessing throughout and with the seemingly taboo topics addressed it keeps you glued to the screen there are no bad guys or good guys makes sure of that the characters are so perfectly complex you feel for each of them you care about what they have been through br br use an attention to details is in this world of fast food movies and while some of the topics may make some uncomfortable you love the feeling it gives you br br i have heard it said too often that there are no new stories to tell thank you for proving that false br br run don't walk to see this movie,positive +who won the best actress oscar for 1933 it should have been laura hope for her magnificent portrayal of the most monstrous mother ever she truly is one of the great character actresses of all time she played the in 1936 and her best remembered role is aunt in gone with the wind br br irene dunne was the official star of the film but her scenes with laura hope were dynamite br br david joel is in when he is offered a job in new york his wife christine irene dunne can continue her studies at the centre their first stop in america is a visit to david's mother mrs to say that laura hope every scene is an under statement from her first entrance in a frantic burst of effort to her big boy all attention is on her even sitting around the tea table when she forgets existence even forgetting how she takes her tea you know something is not quite right has been living there for a while br br frances dee is completely sweet and so right in her role as the adorable her performance in this film especially the scene where she has and the aftermath proves how under rated as an actress she was br br all the young cast are excellent eric is superb as robert the younger son who comes to the realization that his mother is horrible but can do nothing about escaping from his mother's spell joel at one point says painting on that's more your style there is a very subtle suggestion in the film of sexuality br br irene dunne is excellent in whatever film or genre she tried,positive +what a waste of energy and money what a waste of what talent there was br br was completely wasted and mostly throughout jon was very mildly amusing but pointless harry dean why bother and was it just me or can barely act in this one br br the story was pretty non existent and really disjointed one of my biggest problems was the reaction of the characters to the events that like the surf giving up their lives every time they were threatened in the last half how about that you never saw them surf once the set up to some scenes took way to long with not enough pay off to make us give a damn nothing in this movie felt really true or genuine br br the only good things i can say is some very little of the scenery was filmed nicely and a few scenes were mildly interesting don't see this when there is so many better pointless movies out there,negative +for all and purposes might seem like just another lightweight bollywood musical to some extent this might even be true especially because the producers had to be sure that the film succeeded with the masses but somewhere behind the scenes either who had the for this story or who directed the film decided that there would be a twist to the usual formula and succeeded perhaps beyond even their own expectations br br this is not simply about a handsome man with 3 women on whom to choose as his life's partner character was really in love with each of the 3 women at various times and they with him despite being aware of the other two relationship with and is particularly interesting in that each of the women comes to depend on him heavily there are quite a lot of suggestive in the body language that lend themselves to imagination depending on the viewer's maturity the theme is surprisingly adult and after all that it was that the ending was tame obviously designed to please the masses and criticism,positive +i saw this film on the same night i saw 6 other shorts this one was leaps and ahead of the others in terms of quality of acting directing filming and originality of story it comes together with a often lacking in short films br br this is a great short film for the following reasons br br 1 amazing performances the 2 actresses are both compelling and believable instantly their chemistry is the depth of their relationship is conveyed even though the film is 10 mins long the acting and directing are very powerful br br 2 beautifully shot the lighting framing and general filming are striking the film sets this movie apart from other shorts and what a difference it makes the filming is worthy of this film stock br br 3 strong story often short films try to do too little or too much with the time or they are trying to tell a predictable story this is a good balance of telling you an interesting story without drawing it out too long or leaving you you wonder what will happen next while at the same time feeling you saw something happen br br nice score too without br br if you can find this at a festival make an effort to see it,positive +last evening i had the remarkable pleasure of seeing the movie i was stunned and amazed will smith did a phenomenal job in a role that he isn't always associated with he proved once and for all that he does not need to be holding a gun to be a great actor in a movie kevin james was also very impressive i admit that i've always like him on the king of queens but this role really brought him into the light more and i hope to see him on the big screen a lot more in the near future the movie was funny and adorable and i recommend it to any guy as the best date movie you could ever imagine the mix of comedy romance and drama left me feeling complete it's nothing like most chick flicks in the sense of tears and sadness but holds its own and i think can be equally enjoyed by males as well as females i encourage all couples especially to see this movie but even if you aren't involved with someone you may pick up some great ideas from br br two way big thumbs up,positive +in the young couple t and boris are in deep love for each other with the world war ii boris to join the army and is sent to the front on the day before birthday and they do not have the chance to say goodbye to each other while waiting for news from boris is raped by cousin mark a and they marry each other however does not forget boris and keeps waiting for him br br is an impressive and heartbreaking romance in times of war the direction is excellent and uses along the story in the capital scene when is raped by mark the camera work is amazing with sophisticated planes and angles and long traveling the scenes of in the middle of the tanks or in the train station with many are awesome the magnificent cinematography is by the restored image of the dvd t has an extremely beautiful face and a touching and sensitive performance the speech in the last scene makes another great example of an anti war movie my vote is nine br br title brazil as when fly the,positive +this movie is the worst ever sorry but this was a total waste of good hours quasi psychology and b actors makes a horror movie you can say that if you are into bad movies you will adore this one and the hot chick wasn't all that hot there is absolutely no climax to the movie and the worst part is the ending song some thing with these words its in awful condition the world is a mess when heads fall of bodies and girls wont stay dressed the cops they are clueless eating in their car next morning body topless bar jesus sorry guys but gone bad with this one,negative +this is one of my 3 favorite movies i've been out on the water since i was 13 so i got a lot of the humor as well as a lot of the near land scenery the movie although taking place in and around virginia was filmed around the san francisco bay most notably the fleet just east of the bridge where character was first introduced to the and the of san francisco at the very end of the movie including a boat that i've worked on as other people have said the actors appeared to have fun making this movie as well as making it entertaining the line we're approaching the bottom sir i can hear a couple of it out is at least to me priceless br br i am one of numerous people who is awaiting a dvd of down to be introduced,positive +i'm thinking of some things for this movie first really is a very bad movie this is really the film looked very promising in the trailers but fell flat maybe the original idea was good but between a bad script and bad acting the movie became boring and empty my advise is don't waste 2 hours of your precious time you have been warned this is the first movie i rated 1 star at imdb com second none of the characters are likable you really don't care what happened to them third the villain is very easy to identify the kills his father the friend's son get the maid pregnant his grandfather like says if you like evil with no this is your movie nothing more to say,negative +while i agree that this movie lacks any real substance and should not be taken seriously its primarily directed to fans of the series who are looking for a quick fix bronson paul once again takes to the streets given a license to kill by the chief police no less and moves into his friends apartment who you guessed it was killed by a street gang that has taken control of the neighborhood which looks like it's funny that people who associate with bronson have a habit of getting killed bronson kills them off one by one as the people in the neighborhood are used against him there are some dynamics between bronson and who leads the street gang you can tell they both enjoy their work at one point in the movie after they in the city jail i'm going to kill a little old lady just for you catch it on the 6 00 news the a purse thief who laughs as he's committing his crimes is also enjoyable to watch the movie was made in 1985 and most people probably could identify with the stereotypical urban gangs that are cast in the movie it's enjoyable watching bronson paul rid the streets of these thugs watch for the appearance of the a serious piece of that bronson i also really liked the soundtrack to this movie,positive +the people who don't like this movie seem to have some academic against it those of us who don't hold the original can totally enjoy it br br my husband who had never seen the original said i don't want to see a movie i assured him that the women is just a great movie not a girl movie he had a great time he was very glad to have gone and enjoyed it more than the boy movie we saw the day before burn after reading br br spoiler i even think the new ending is better maybe not quite as fun but it was beautiful at first i couldn't understand why they had made certain changes to the plot br br but when i got the end and debra messing gives birth and brings the first male into the movie i cried that's one thing to love about men – they are our sons,positive +julie brown hilariously attempt at a with gut ripping humor and truly original and catchy songs that rival own cinematography and sets are top notch br br kathy and chris elliott offer their own of comedy that enhances and this film appearances by and as themselves is an added bonus br br it's hard to tell if performance is meant to insult or madonna though i hardly think the material girl would find humor in it br br my favorite line why don't you come here to the all they eat is dog and i'm a,positive +more maybe is mostly remembered for the excellent soundtrack composed by pink in 1969 they weren't yet actually they made an album with the film music no fan can miss it br br but this is also the first film of german french director it's a cult movie when it was released censorship everywhere cut several scenes of sex and drugs it is also one of the first films to treat the theme of drug slavery br br a german boy travels to paris and meets an american girl they fall in love together they search for sun and but it's a too high price love she him into drugs br br in the sixties anti drug were not like today there wasn't much information on the contrary in many taking drugs was a sort of spiritual experience so it's quite surprising to see a film of that period which describes a nightmarish heroin experience br br the film is simple not vulgar at all and shot in a cinema style actors farmer and are very convincing more is a document of the end of the sixties and a document of the end of the hippies as well,positive +this four hour miniseries production is about two hours longer than necessary primarily because the filmmakers seemed not to have a clear idea how to adapt a novel to the screen they seemed not to know what should be kept in and what might safely be left out the film opens with sir walter reading from the book that is his primary in his troubles this introduces the family all of whom we get to know over the next four hours anyway but serves little other purpose similarly the scenes where the poor richard serve no purpose but to drag the story down some of actual dialogue is to different characters and some of her narrative is recycled as dialogue that falls from the of the characters there is some fill in dialogue too and this is uniformly dreadful the scene where charles is boring with his concerns about getting dr was only barely interesting as narrative in the book as a scene in this production it is the scene on the when falls and is taken up lifeless is entirely without urgency and i wondered whether line is there nobody to help me might have been directed at the writers as well as the other actors br br this production often looks and feels like a play that has been filmed rather than an actual film and this is most evident in the acting which is the opposite of subtle delivery of lines exaggerated gestures and actors who have no idea what to do with their hands feet or faces when they are not speaking their lines charles stands in his feet shoulder apart and appears to project to the balcony if there were one when speaking to the other people in the room with him face when not or seems to be in confused is a creature and i did not for a moment believe that would be interested in her br br the costumes are a mixed bunch but mostly awful and anne green is quite possibly the most hideous alleged period costume ever we are given the dates at the beginning of the show it is the late or perhaps very early and yet many of the costumes seem to be of victorian design and thus about 60 years too early the hair is just so wrong that i won't even mention it here except to say that i won't mention it br br this production does do some things right however mrs smith is given her proper importance and her history with mr elliot his and his are fully addressed i was also pleased to see the fleshed out scenes with anne and at the end which are precious reward for the reader but were over in the 1995 production br br if you love the book and even vaguely like the 1995 movie don't waste a moment or a penny on this production you will find it sorely wanting,negative +i enjoyed very much the movie wooden camera i think it's a little bit influenced by the brazilian movie city of god but maybe this between the two tracks possible to follow crime and art in social neighborhood are a reality br br i think the films made by are really beautiful i don't think it's unreal that he shoot such good films because there's a lot of artists that don't have any type of education and can be really genius br br i enjoyed very much the soundtrack it's to the pictures br br see the movie it's good to show how can be a life in a social neighborhood,positive +a complete zero out of four one worst sums up awful actually more words come to mind ridiculous third rate and terrible this is one of worst movies ever he around in a cheap leather jacket and equally cheap foil zorro style mask with what appears to be wings on the sides br br the movie is set in ancient or and is un historical for an indian movie as stated above a leather jacket from k mart with did not exist 400 years ago unless all my history teachers were wrong br br also does his cross dressing in this movie far from being funny it is very to watch what could possess the son of the legendary raj kapoor to the memory of his house like this on screen br br on the plus side if you want a real laugh go ahead and watch this film the glaring inconsistencies in the plot and costumes are no match for the awful dialogues and shoddy acting,negative +though i have watched i do not know if tastes if it does this film is accurately titled so much of so little substance this is the celluloid equivalent of only it does not the it leaves the taste of wasted time in the mouth and if i could vomit this film and get back that expense i would was more exciting the director should be forced to wear a cap and the spirit of ed wood jr couldn't save this semi professional projection from certain failure a waste of time a waste of mind don't be fooled by the competent eye candy she was in the remake less tragic and than sue though by no means better however a previously competent turn of the screw does not make her a skilled person you need craft for that not crap which is what this film is the belong in the girls' bathroom till the burst while director direct less christina wayne should do 5 10 in study hall watch anything else and pass this class by bye forever,negative +if you put seinfeld aside this is the best comedy ever no doubt just great br br the king of queens just finished its season of domestic bliss set in the working class of queens new york the show follows doug kevin james an delivery man and his wife legal secretary carrie as they explore the everyday challenges of love life family and marriage br br doug and carrie deal with day to day domestic realities that reflect our times and us to laugh at ourselves their love for each other ultimately carries them through each dilemma they face whether it's with food or obsession with expensive clothing br br doug and carrie also have to deal with the third high member of the household twice widowed father arthur jerry stiller who lives in their basement his constant presence and often bizarre behavior add to their daily adventures doug and carrie have stumbled upon an solution to their burden and keep arthur happy his regular with dog walker holly nicole sullivan friends victor williams and cousin danny gary valentine round out the cast with their guy humor and diverse perspectives br br in a manner that evokes the the king of queens finds inspiration in life's everyday situations last season alone saw doug carrie to a for help with dinner the suffering through the annoyance and financial strain of mold damage to their house and doug and carrie to copy a couple whose photos of a more adventurous life than doug and they accidentally took home we also watched arthur grow jealous of a new dog that holly added to her route and doug finding out that his parents replaced his childhood dog rocky three times behind his back throughout the series showcases incredible physical comedy hard edged wit and unique comic presence br br you can't you miss it,positive +trite and the one liners almost made me cry my 4 year old left the room and ended up doing a puzzle i don't know what age group this was written for but the writer himself herself didn't even want credit as for the song it's mildly amusing at least it was a decade ago there are many christmas movies to watch although i've seen some many more times than this they are still enjoyable whenever this comes on i try to encourage my child to watch something else one positive note that allowed a vote of 2 instead of 1 is that it encourages good moral values that would have been if anyone were watching,negative +an ex of the east germany finishes in mexico like spy of a student group in 1971 in where she falls in love with one of the this is the first co production of mexico with germany and although it is a good picture of the ideals that marked and continue at least to the youth as much finishes being something insipid since to the internal that it faces dark brown like the passion by his ideals that feels as soon as they glimpse in the case of him i want to suppose by the of the language and in the case of her by its lack of experience reason why in the end a with any of them does not exist which causes that what could have been films that even served as document like red dawn finished being one more a film although i want to that in the room many of the were excited in the conversation with the director which says to me that no longer they are so young or my ideals have changed,negative +if this movie is coming to a theater near you consider it a threat i was unfortunate enough to see this movie here in tokyo since i'm dutch i was surprised to find a dutch movie playing in a like tokyo is i figured it had to be of special if a dutch movie makes it all the way to japan so i went there with some friends and we were happily telling the staff that we were dutch and that we were so curious about the movie as it turned out this was one of the most silly dumb worst acted with worst spoken english movie i've seen in maybe 10 years and i left the theater trying to avoid the staff because feeling almost responsible for this disaster movie sometimes you get the feeling you know what the director was aiming for lola kind of like movie instead it was more like on drugs with outdated music as a score but if i wasn't feeling too annoyed the movie was unintentionally quite hilarious once in a while as it showed holland at its smallest,negative +i saw this movie for a first time years ago when it was still new and i was satisfied it's a great hollywood make belief story for teenagers however it's not as much as you would want to believe it these stories never happen that's why it is irritating to watch movies like that they play with minds just imagine how many girls still in high schools believed in that magic and got disappointed i wouldn't recommend this movie to my little sister or my cousin the director should have spent some more time thinking about the plot instead of thinking about actors yes they actors were good but the idea isn't worth a 10 there are a lot of films about teenagers so why don't we make a better one,positive +eugene o'neill is acclaimed by some as america's leading playwright but for things like the long day's journey into night the emperor jones strange was a piece of he where the characters on stage look aside to the audience and say what they really are thinking and then resume conversation it was a nine hour production with a dinner break on broadway so you can safely assume a lot has been sacrificed here br br for the screen the voice over regarding the thoughts is used for all the characters it probably is a technique better suited to the screen sir laurence olivier did very well with it in his version of hamlet but bill shakespeare gave olivier a lot better story than o'neill gave his players in this instance br br players like clark gable norma ralph morgan may etc are a lot more animated in most of their films than they are in strange the story takes place over a 20 year period norma is a young woman whose intended is killed in world war i she starts playing around quite a bit although that part is not shown in this version she makes the of alexander and his friend clark gable she also has as a ralph morgan a friend of her father's henry b br br she marries but then is warned by his mother may and shown that insanity in that family to quote another literary work since wants kids and and think train will slip the track if he doesn't get one gable is for purposes of course you can see all the complications this can cause and o'neill explores them all br br gable is so terribly miscast in an o'neill production but he was an up and coming player at mgm and did what they told him does what she can to lift a very dreary story but she seems defeated at the start best in the film is possibly who puts some real bite in her dialog br br strange ran for on broadway in and starred glenn and in the gable and parts perhaps no one could really have saved the film because two years earlier marx the out of it in animal after seeing what he did i don't think the movie going public took it too seriously br br and since it's not the best of o'neill neither could i,negative +fred carpenter screened eddie monroe at boston college and judging from the enthusiastic response he has much to be pleased about a taught well done impressive for it's big budget look and feel this movie has it all a tight script that grabs you and doesn't let go right up to it's surprise ending this viewer didn't see it coming excellent performances all around craig morris and jessica were were especially well cast in the leads delivering strong performances and kudos to frank and alex for creating two detectives as engaging and interesting to watch as any in film i thoroughly enjoyed this movie it confirmed my belief that some of the best work in film will be coming from the and fred carpenter looks to be one of the best,positive +as a huge fan of horror i had given up on the vampire sub genre due to the fact that in most vampire flicks the vampire has become feminine and non threatening and basically weak this was the attitude i brought to a viewing of midnight and i am happy to say that the vampires in this film at least have the to kill old ladies and sacrifice babies one of my favorite actors of all time was born to play the charming vampire with savage intensity br br another thing that interested me is that the central location is the hotel that is cool because and i went back to my high school copy to look this up in dracula the pass is where jonathan must pass to get to castle br br finally my hats off to whoever made the decision to make the creature a real effect and not a darn cgi that's the one thing great about many low budget movies they cannot afford the garbage computer effects that plague many hollywood br br bottom line this is better than underworld for sure especially if you are a vampire cheers,positive +wow kiss the bride wasn't that bad but it wasn't that good either it sure was no later day saints the movie in the center perhaps cutting out about 30 minutes would have made a more enjoyable film but the film gets down again and again by annoying subplots and throw away scenes the whole gold outing sequence comes to mind br br even though kiss was made for theatrical release it looks and sounds more like a made for tv movie every scene is like a department store so many characters are so throw away br br and dear is actually a pleasant surprise she steals every scene she appears in br br one scene really annoyed me it was the rehearsal dinner in this larger room with scores of tables all but only 5 or 6 people in a room for 250 where did everyone go br br gay cinema has sunk to a new low but not as low as the horrible films being produced and shown on the here channel,negative +i'm a big fan of h p books and the background some rather good other stories and stuff like that and in the last years there came along some boys who did movies about h p 's work – for the bigger part low flicks – and showed them to the public at places like the h p film festival now like i said most of them don't have a big but they at least know the heart and soul of work and films like cool air or the call of are what i would think gifts for the fan base and other that like h p 's creation br br and then there are people like who just rip off the name and create a movie which would have been fun to watch if i had directed it myself and filmed with some friends down at the beach that is what mr did as it seems but while like aaron or bryan moore's earlier movies might not have had more they somehow still had more to offer like a story real characters and some connection to just out names like or makes a movie not a adaption br br anyway this flick will not only make fans of the and hide it will also not appeal to people who 1 like good movies 2 laugh about bad movies 3 like good c grade splatter movies or 4 watch everything that has horror written on the dvd cover i will not go into the of this waste of time as it has already been discussed by others here on this page but like i said unknown beyond is like a movie i would have made up with some geeky friends aside from that it lacks ideas for any storytelling and goes into ridiculous moronic nonsense but he it's art stuff self made flicks of this quality are fun to watch if you know all the in it and ha ha see how is out the fake blood we made from old and stuff – but hey you don't put this in a dvd it an actual movie and want money for br br i give it 2 10 because of the i – effort or something like that,negative +i don't because i think it's gay but this game is really great it's smooth fast easy to play and just fun even if you don't do so well it can be just really fun to make the just crash and burn easily one of the best video games ever,positive +the episodes of the lone ranger were originally broadcast on abc from 1949 to 1957 and then for many years they played in local for most of the original broadcast years the series was most watched piece of programming br br the new dvd set from pop contains the first 16 episodes 15 1949 and for some reason unknown to me episode 22 from the fifth season for a total of 17 episodes the same 17 available on last year's mill creek entertainment release so these are probably in the public these sets pretty much render the legend of the lone ranger movie superfluous as all three episodes that were combined in to form the movie are included in these releases br br the early episodes back to radio as there is considerably more voice over narration used as an introduction and to introduce key plot moments br br the series itself was pure kiddie western with clear cut good and evil and no romance the title character played by moore started out texas ranger john reid the first three episodes provide the background for his transformation to lone ranger status his with the indian jay and the of his horse silver br br there is an code of positive morality each episode the lone ranger is totally good but he the of evil while a masked man in the west was normally feared by the good citizens and an indian was the lone ranger is feared by those who would do evil one theme is that when the lone ranger and first encounter an average citizen they are with suspicion and by the end of the episode the citizen has been convinced of their value the trademark ending was a secondary character asking the question who was that masked man br br to really enjoy the series you must accept it for the simplistic morality tale it was intended to be if you don't take it seriously and keep wishing for some self campy parody elements you will only get frustrated br br then again what do i know i'm only a child,positive +i didn't see this movie until it appeared on television because i was about comic flicks ever since the batman series judge and many other pitiful p g 13 bombs i everything at all cost i would question in my mind why can't someone make a movie that is rated r and stays true to the story how difficult is that and finally my have been answered with blade this movie pops right out of the pages onto the screen with sheer violence blood martial arts weapons fire the good against evil etc yeah sure a lot of action flicks contain all these and most of them have bombed but not blade the movie was filmed just right not going overboard delivering a good length and never a dull moment blade ii is cool but not as cool as the first blade is indeed one of the best real comic flicks i've seen in a long time,positive +i received this movie as a birthday gift because all of my friends know i'm a big fan of low budget horror flicks kaufman studios have always made the cheesy gory flicks that delivered i loved to watch their films at home on rainy nights with my family until i saw what happened br br this movie started out with a pretty good concept about bugs and even added some slick comedy but overall the writing is just bad and that was mistake number one ronald k armstrong should learn to first be a better writer before becoming a filmmaker after reading the credits we discover he gave himself the most important role in the film two words mr director acting lessons ok mr armstrong joins the ranks of other writer directors who cast themselves in their own movies and that's mistake number two br br the only thing that i believed saved this film was the artistic camera work and the musical score let's hear it for the crew the cast of other actors who in the beginning of this production seemed a bit cold really up toward the middle and end of this production everyone pulled together and helped to pull this film off ronald armstrong may lack the talent to ever become a decent director or actor but i'll say this of him he seems to know how to people to get them all to come together and pull his productions off br br this film i have to say can be an inspiration to any young filmmaker who dreams of making their own movie because if mr armstrong was able to pull this off any one else can too if you get a chance to see this film watch it for the sake of getting inspired to do better in the future hollywood needs bigger and better horror flicks to keep this genre coming back from it's grave,negative +of all the kids movies i have seen over the years this was probably the worst i took four kids aged from 7 to 11 and none of them liked it br br the script seemed to be based on a willy style story but it just didn't have anything to it br br if you are considering seeing this movie dont waste your time it is bad br br they are making a sequel so it may be worth watching to see if they can even make a worse movie but i don't think it is possible,negative +john one man show is both funnier and more involving than most movies you'll see a number of devices such as slide are used to enhance the story but this is essentially good old fashioned performance art in particular check out his hilarious rendition of i will survive highly recommended,positive +this movie was not that good at all here is the first clue and that it is not gonna be a strong movie harrison ford's name not only appears first but it is also bigger than the title the music was nominated for an oscar what the heck was that that music was probably the most annoying thing in the movie the acting was sub par at best except the boy he did a decent job for being so young then you have the story which was weak and a little over the place and it won for adapted the music was horrid i know i already said something but it was really bad the premises was real good and it should be remade well that's all i really have on that br br your average movie guy br br,negative +that's how burt reynolds describes this film which happens to be his best ever he plays tom a vice detective who's on the trail of an international mobster and the man he's to be the next of georgia earl in the novel by william the story is more complex because the guy's running for president this is a very long movie that feels more like three hours instead of two the filming in downtown and the hotel sets the mood just right for the story reynolds doesn't do much laughing in this one compared to his comedy films he's very serious here especially in the beginning of the movie because he gets for a bust that goes wrong at times though the movie plays more like a drama than a crime film with burt trying to get close to the woman only towards the end of the film does the violence get up that leads to the bang bang climax just like the great jazz score in dirty harry by machine features an excellent urban jazz soundtrack with many guest stars including baker julie london buddy de franco the manhattan transfer doc sarah and joe williams al handles the score with magic this movie has become one of the best crime dramas ever check it out br br score 8 out of 10 stars,positive +actually there was nothing funny about this monstrosity at all this movie was a complete abomination the in this movie almost made me want to vomit i think that the people responsible for this movie took advantage of their viewing audience they took a relatively decent series of movies i did say decent not good and totally it by trying to put money in their the making of airplane was a way for hollywood to make up for this crappy flick the worst part about it is that either nobody in 1979 realized the events of the movie such as door popping off at some high or shooting a flair gun out the window at 2 to avoid a nuclear what were they thinking were totally unrealistic or they just didn't care i think that it is the latter of the two the writers and director of this film if you want to call it that really tried to suck the airport dry with this crap,negative +supposed to have got good says the g f if so i can't find them she goes off to sleep and i endure michael douglas as a good ol' boy now there's a new one matt dillon all screwed up john goodman losing his cool paul reiser running around in leather oh it's a riot all right br br the is you're probably going to lose interest pretty soon on tyler plays the femme fatale and critics complain she might not have the register for her part but it's this movie is not about character development in fact i'd go so far as to say there's no character at all what you're supposed to appreciate here is the plot br br no one is in this movie some people wonder why all these even in here for goodness sake sign up for such a project odds are they thought it would be fun maybe they did have fun who knows hey maybe they got paid good too br br but you have to over money one way or another to see this turkey and that's probably not a good idea,negative +i wasn't expecting much because of the harsh reviews and to enjoy the movie a great deal as a result colors and less stunning compositions of the shots than some of his previous films in my opinion allowed the narrative to take the focus though the religious conflict in a vampire flick was i felt like many of the other things were not for example br br how his powers were often revealed through interaction with her br br the very strong and well acted love scenes br br the symbolism of the man they killed to get closer to each other actually them even more br br their strong differences of what it means to be created by their prior life experiences br br the lack of scores of other vampires appearing or being created through the movie br br i've heard and read several things about used in other of course however i feel that tricks are used to emphasize what is happening in the scene and i feel that he does this well i don't need a director to use new tricks i prefer that the tricks that are used are used well and appropriately which i feel is the case with this film br br i recommend it,positive +first of all i should point out that i really enjoyed watching this documentary not only it had great music in it but the shots and the editing were also wonderful however all these positive things about the film does not change the fact that it plays to the east meets west cliché that bothers many like myself okay this film tells the story of traditional and contemporary turkish music in a very stylish manner which is a good thing something that would show ignorant europeans and americans that this country is not just about murdering and however the of the film is that it looks at what it as east from the eyes of the west i mean like one jazz musician says in the film maybe there is no east and west maybe it is just a myth a lie created by the leaders of western countries in order to keep fear and alive so that they could continue the world and keep the cash flowing br br why don't you think about that,positive +closet land was by international and does have a lot of political overtones but there's so much more to this richly stirring story than that br br this is not just about the political tension of the late 80s it's about the personal that a woman puts herself through as a child who was by a family friend we see the subtle to the parallels of a government society structure and the culture of sexual where one in four young children are and one in three women has experienced some form of rape br br for me it brings up a chilling chicken and egg question does the attitude of our sexual leading to create the political environment of fear and or does the political fuel a culture of sexual the psychological of even asking this question force us to a place where we are brought to develop our own answers br br in the end our young lady writer has a similar moment to the one at the end of she realizes in one shining brilliant moment that the idea of having her power stolen from her by the secret police is an illusion no one can steal your power they can only trick you into giving it up and then you have the right to take it back at any time br br this is not a movie to be entered into lightly and you most certainly do enter it the aspects coupled with the child like animation the deepest parts of the psyche and leaves no viewer,positive +there's something going on in this film directed by x files john that has me you get that feeling as the film moves that everything is not what it seems yet i feel the movie fails at giving you enough to go on to truly care afterward it's about perception there are characters the heroine nicole alexander meets in the film that she talks to that up and this might seem like a spoiler but it's something that really only a wee bit of focus on the part they seem to be fun at us as we watch curious at whether we should trust what nicole is seeing or not it never gets a proper answer and i for one was a bit clueless at the point there comes a time in a film when ambiguity can just be frustrating because the viewer is led on a wild chase that ends at a dead end with little explanation at what we just saw it ultimately feels like an exercise instead of a thrilling psycho drama now there's nothing wrong with ambiguity itself but give us something to onto or you will us that's how i felt as i watched rest stop this film is supposedly about a young woman named nicole who decides to run off to california with lover jesse joey to make it big in hollywood they make what is supposed to be a slight at a rest stop so that nicole can pee but it into terror for her when she finds that her jesse is completely missing someone in a dusty yellow truck is a nut job who seems to be causing a lot of trouble to nicole and we soon realize that he is behind disappearance when things start to occur signs provided to her if you will she will have to find a way out of a very difficult situation nicole is far from any existing town and with limited resources to defend herself against a maniac who provides her with some strong evidence of how evil he can be br br that's the easy part when a female character comes into play the film makes a really bizarre leap from logic as we are not sure where she ever came from how she got there and more importantly where she goes once nicole tries to break her free from her supposed prison in the she meets another a police officer in the area joey lawrence who might seem like her but when he too is a victim of the truck driver startling things occur again that questions if he was ever actually even there to begin with the truck driver commits acts to nicole like her up in the and as she tries to a wire that the killer has wrapped around the door lock she receives a nasty bite from him he then sets fire to the leaving her without a lasting place of from the beast br br it's the timing of the truck attacks that has me perhaps he just likes her but he appropriately appears in certain situations where nicole has time to flee or prepare it doesn't make much sense his motives which the film into an illogical idea why does he make himself so obvious why does he allow her to prepare it seems i'm going out on a here that he likes having his believe they can find a way of escape only to that hope out when he comes up with his next grisly attack yet why does decide to play with the viewer by having nicole experience odd with people that don't exist what is and the writing team trying to say and to cap off the film's unhinged weirdness is a family in a they play a small part in the scheme of things as religious themselves but the film doesn't do enough for the viewer to explain why they should be in this film at all,negative +ok about 11 years ago the awesome funny movie the mask came out and everyone loved it and now 11 years later the mask is brought back in this awesome movie right wrong this movie was the stupidest movie that i have probably ever seen i mean when i rented it i thought that i would be laughing so hard that i would almost pee my pants like from the first one but after i saw this i even let out a chuckle i mean no offense to the director or the cast of this movie but what a waste of time and money so the plot of the whole story was about this little baby that has part of the mask in him and this evil person is after him for some thing because that is all i really got i would have least added some more things to it so it would be higher than a 2 out of 10 stars,negative +i'm sorry but i can't agree that this was a good movie yes it looked good visually but it's the story that drives the movie and i must say the story sucked big time how in the world did they manage to slip some of those plot holes past the critics better story and i would've gave it a higher vote but i was impossible to do that and still be able to live with myself i have always been a fan of scary movies and the previews really had me fooled all the scary scenes were shown in the previews and why did the family that got killed stay to haunt the house why did the father come back again why did he decide to kill in the first place why were the kids the only ones to see the ghosts first to many questions not enough answers if i could've gave it a zero i would've,negative +this movie was a pleasant surprise because i didn't expect much i didn't know that some of the actors have since become bigger stars in major while moving on to the matrix is not a plus in my book hated it i'm sure it's a career plus for hugo james is great in this and jennifer sweet and wonderful it seemed sometimes like a street romp 30 years later but i enjoyed the shop clothes mixed up with the modern of sexual and gender the real estate agent who has an erotic relationship with his is loads of fun the iron john group are a bit dated but i still loved them it's a social satire sex comedy in the best way and reminds me a bit of the old carry on movies the british know how to do sex comedy and it's an old tradition unlike the united states which is too to really understand that sex is funny,positive +zero stars out of br br endless descent has absolutely no redeeming values whether it's the ridiculously bad acting the laughably awful special effects the incompetent direction the stupid script or the annoying musical score it's the kind of pitiful production that makes me wonder how a movie like this could even have the slightest consideration for being by a studio in the first place br br i don't think i'm going to delve into the plot other than to say it's about a bunch of people who are trapped under the water and have to kill a lot of fake looking creatures br br let me go more into detail as to what is so awful about this flick first of all the acting is simply horrendous jack is ten times worse than stallone a feat that is hard enough to accomplish as it is the supporting performances aren't really any better and what is with actor luis the guy who plays the cook francisco he has a high pitched voice and an accent that sounds appropriate for a comedy not a sci fi horror film br br the special effects are even worse the creatures range from weird looking to giant and the effects look like something you would see in a muppet movie and i don't believe i need to delve further in this issue br br director j p simon has slight cult status because of all the terrible films he's made i'm sure some will enjoy endless descent in an ed wood type of way but i don't even think it's that good everything he does is shoddy especially the the man cannot direct a movie that's all there is to it br br this was the last of four films that took place underwater and it sure does make and deep star six both bad films in their own right start to look masterful in comparison either way just stick with the,negative +my father took me to see this film when it was released in 1976 i was but a child and it scared the crap out of me so much so that i had to leave the theatre during a particularly claustrophobic tunnel scene as it was too intense for me i went home to the safety of my family i saw the film all the way through as i got older and thoroughly enjoyed it shame about the men in monster suits though if you overlook the of the production and delve deeper you'll find an excellent performance by cushing a stunning opening score some nice photography and the ever reliable mr douglas my childhood hero british police the at the end bang bang cave woman monsters with actors in monster suits on this has it all superb,positive +i do not fail to recognize above average film making skills for example i appreciate his lingering on natural day settings as a powerful way to force a strong sense of realism however regarding the content of this film i am very sad to see that in the 21st century there is still an urge to relations or feelings and or practices the problem that the main character has with her mother is unbelievably as is the alienation and felt by walter i don't mean the frustration of a lover which is not loved back in the same way which is understandable i mean that he looks upon her as if she were crazy or as if he was a monk come on i mean d s is not something new in the world and i think it is rather silly to treat the subject as if it were something or it isn't in general films dealing with this subject are really behind the times br br so for me i feel that this film ends up being quite a film worried with very outdated theories isn't it nearly embarrassing and that does not really relate with real life lives and experiences of those engaged in d s relationships personal experience even recent studies will show this,negative +an old man is riding his bike down a village road when a car comes out of nowhere strikes him down dead and keeps driving the rest of the film is spent discovering who hit him why he was hit and what consequences this murder will have on the rest of the village separate lies is a very british movie indeed i'm not saying that hit and run car are a particularly british phenomenon but the way everyone to this tragedy is very british tom plays james a hard working respectable citizen with a stiff upper lip attitude towards tragedy his wife anne emily watson who is twenty years younger than her husband is more emotional more and more prone to drama br br the man who really up life in this sleepy village is playboy millionaire william played by a deliciously rupert everett most american audiences will remember him as julia gay friend who completely stole every scene in my best friend's wedding in separate lies everett is cruel cold and selfish but he's an absolute blast on screen no it's not that exciting of a movie title separate lies – how did they end up with that lame and forgettable title did they just not have a marketing team did they just now care about getting people to see this film but beyond the title is a heartbreaking drama about the power of forgiveness,positive +the curse of monkey island has always been my favorite of the series a vibrant visual look an excellent soundtrack and brilliant voice cast all create a memorable and adventure br br graphics wise the game is definitely not a let down though some have been cut the over all feel of the game is reminiscent of disney feature length animations the is simple and even a will get the hang of it soon enough the game also offers a little extra for the more experienced players with its mega monkey mode br br the voice cast is one of my favorites dominic sympathetic voice makes complete and alexandra is simply charming as earl makes for a wonderfully sinister yet over the top villain also the charm is added by memorable characters like neil ross murray and one of my personal favorites allan young voice of scrooge my hat also goes off to the late great kay and his memorable secondary role as br br michael and wonderful soundtrack once more the monkey island adventure of some of the best tunes in the business the game isn't perfect and some locales are not as well detailed as other but i had no with the simple ending of the game which i found very satisfying,positive +what makes this low budget production one of my favorite movies not kidding i was watching it already 10 times or so and did not get tired is it the tender throughout the whole thing is it the similarity to classics like i was thinking a long time about that and figured it out i guess it is there is no hero there are only people some try to be good some gave up trying to be good some are hopeless cases but carry still the of being human inside it is the story of a night in a motel at the end of the world one way the catastrophe is nothing but the end of a chain of the other way this night reveals the logical of this peoples lives because they are in a certain cut off the rest of the world it has something of a tale,positive +having watched the show for about four weeks which is enough to get a feel for the show i think it shows potential whilst much is borrowed from other shows what sci fi doesn't these days and the characters are stereotyped i like what they are doing with the stories there is some continuity with plot development and character interaction relationship building despite the essentially nature of each episode there have been some science related topics explored as well as character secret weakness revelations these have also added some comedy to the show something i would gladly see more of in serious sci fi in all this makes for good balance such that can appeal to larger groups of people unlike the star trek vs 5 i've been numerous and witness to the visual aspects of the show are more than adequate and well budgeted for a first season the acting is acceptable and i am curious to see how well the actors manage to grow their characters out of their scripted stereotypes i see enough and potential to remain interested in seeing where the show wants to go,positive +i'm not sure if this is a comedy or not but i found it pretty comical is possessed by the devil somehow a perverted priest and the are fix that part and part soap opera you'll at least get some laughs there's the paranoid jealous dad satanic sister valley of the dolls mother and then the cowboy boyfriend all there to help the chasing priest fight the demons from dear it sometimes felt like a jerry springer episode but i actually paid to see this instead of the cool head sailor and that did in the exorcist you get a lot of on her bed like it's a hiding in her closet and jumping from a yeah it's chuck e cheese gone wild so if you want to watch a quote horror film that is worth a few laughs while you wait for the predictable ending this is your movie,negative +this well meant film falls just a bit short and unfortunately in too many areas br br the scenery is gorgeous with of north central providing the setting for this mid century tale bill to go back to his running past in order to save his farm br br going back and forth between scenes of magical realism and straight forward action this film rarely hits its br br kris kristofferson as bill seems pretty stilted or else it's his lines or else his cross of and accents anyway he just comes off as a low key blow hard his dialogs with gary character do though william rat is solid charlie mcdermott shows some real potential as young wild bill but his not large enough to carry a scene and he never steals one luis shows up on lake with a fine stand in performance by lake as a monk with a hood accent who knows and then there's an like her she channels as she lines like you will marry a woman just too weird and nowhere near enigmatic enough br br the end gets really choppy again a bad mix of magical realism and the and never provides an answer we can understand,negative +i was quite impressed with this movie as a child of eight or nine the gangsters seemed very real and threatening to me and i could see why people would have been afraid of someone like dillinger seeing it as an adult it seemed almost comical to the overdone narration and jarring details like thirties gangsters driving cars that looked like they were from the fifties there is a certain gritty reality to the way the criminals are portrayed but the overall effect is more like a bad soap opera the most memorable and most unintentionally funny bit that sticks with me is the scene where ma barker and her sons are shooting it out with the fbi and the sons are killed the narrator says something like perhaps in that moment for the only time in her life ma barker became a real mother this is meant to be a moment of great tragedy and pathos as ma finally realizes how she's destroyed her family out of her own greed but instead it laughter a very odd film that is rarely shown anywhere these days gangster movie buffs might enjoy it but more as a curiosity than a real movie,negative +spoilers br br i gave this film 2 out of 10 for 2 scenes that i will never forget by the way my husband rented this surprising non blow 'em up almost chick looking flick but i guessed why when i saw the cover girls in school uniforms duh lol ah well men if ya can't beat 'em join 'em br br one of my favorites on the indie screen too cute not only gets into her toy dog is the best lesbian in town according to her outrageous character that would be the first worthwhile scene br br then she enters a in a lovely goes into a after a bit she gets up goes out to the party she the sad character are at hands a shiny silver ice bucket to the host of the party the host looks in her precious silver ice bucket and says oh my god it's poo br br i love phillips myself for her creativity and unusual movie choices this would definitely be one of them and um i would rent it for the poo scene if i were you i am not a big poo jokes fan but it definitely puts the in their place they didn't look like they were having a good time anyway lol you will never forget these two scenes hmm but is that what we want in our maybe you shouldn't follow my advice at all lol br br is kind of sad in her confusing nonsensical role in i don't know i can't decide if i like her because she is so into indie films indie films are awesome all but couldn't she pick a few good ones i am going to check out a few more of her movies and judgment but this one was the reference to a dog,negative +danny boyle was not the first person to realise that zombies can run like the that honour belongs to which is of course the greatest naked space vampire zombies from running amok in london end of the world movie ever made tobe hooper may have made a lot of crap but for this demented epic sci fi horror he deserves a place among the plus it offers space vampire may the best thing to come out of france since simon spending the entire movie naked which she does very very well just bear in mind that while she is the most feminine presence anyone on earth has ever encountered she's also totally alien to this planet and our life form and totally dangerous it's a pitch meeting i'd have loved to have sat in on from the british space program find three naked alien life forms inside a giant 150 mile long shaped spaceship hidden in the tail of filled with giant bats and bring them back to earth with near apocalyptic results as they proceed to drain the population of london of their amid much nudity of thunder and spit your coffee across the room i've been in space for six months and she looks perfect to me assume we know nothing which is the matter don't worry a naked woman is not going to get out of this complex oh and we'll get the writers of alien and blue thunder to write it with uncredited by the writer of mark of the devil the sex thief and and the director of the monster sounds like a winner here's – have fun and they do they do br br true there's enough promise in the raw material to have made something genuinely creepy and thought provoking at a time when aids was approaching its height a sexually offers ample opportunity for allegory but in the hands of the go go boys at cannon what could have been another and the pit quickly turns instead to be more plan 10 from outer space it's full to with delirious be it frank hilarious death scene here i go peter grand entrance i'm colonel caine from the

mrs lost junior at and went on the rampage and that's not mentioning the this woman is a an extreme scene or the great echo effect on the male it'll be a lot less terrifying if you just come to me line while a lead stake wielding peter his best action man voice to i'll do just that in one scene alone you have a possessed patrick stewart the female in our deeply confused astronaut hero's mind steve i never got over playing charlie and his amazing dancing in full on mode trying to resist the temptation to kiss him the morris the only man who makes jones look restrained playing the home secretary sir as a kind of demented brian peter one of those actors who always looks like he must have been a doctor who around the time no one was watching it anymore up the public school macho in the hope that no one will ever see it and the reaction shots of john as the male nurse who keeps on opening the door mid psychic to bring in more drugs as if they needed any more in this film it's just a shame that frank mad haired scientist who isn't to death on alien life forms a role originally intended for kinski missed out on the action in that one br br no matter how mad you think the film is it still manages to get still whether it be a zombie he too needs feeding exploding all over the home suit patrick stewart's blood and a naked may or the space vampires turning st paul's into the world's biggest laser show to transport human souls from the london underground to their mother ship i loved every insane moment in it's own truly unique way this might be the greatest film ever made br br the dvd offers the original minute version that opened in the uk rather than the heavily edited 101 minute us version which not only offers much more hilarity for your dollar but also fully henry score to its original glory the us version covered a lot of the gaps with additional by michael and james although a somewhat surprising choice at first sight cut his teeth on many of the classic universal sci fi horrors of the 50s and his score is quite superb with a terrific driving main title that offers a rare reminder of just how interesting he could be away from blake sadly there's no more than a trailer by way of extras though it would be nice to hope some day for a special edition with some of the deleted scenes from originally intended minute cut from what's on display here these might just offer even more comedy gold,positive +from the opening drum hit of we're gonna groove to the last guitar hit of whole love this two dvd set might be one of the best music dvd's ever to hit the shelves since the beatles anthology was finally released earlier this year br br one of the best things about this dvd is that on disc 1 a whole concert and many television appearances can be found for instance the whole royal albert hall concert is on the dvd as well as some of the best performances from the last concert at br br in the royal albert hall concert for instance the band had a lot of room to jimmy guitar make and confused a huge rock power as opposed to the laid back blues song it was on led i br br next on dvd 2 is a video for the led iii hit song immigrant song one of hardest songs the video is about as as a pre mtv video was but it displays a lot of guitar power by jimmy page as it was taken from a live performance after the video ends we are treated in transition with a short picture of fans filling the seats at madison square garden the following are performances that were supposed to be part of the song remains the same but did not make the cut excellent like those in the songs black dog and the ocean were both present br br after the madison performances we are treated with court most of the led iv material was played here like the most popular song that ever recorded to heaven it is brilliant as always even more so than the version on iv br br finally to end the 5 hours of live material is led final concert in in august of 1979 as the viewer watches this they have to admit that robert voice is getting and deeper from all of the screaming he has done in the past and it is evident here on songs like and in the evening plant does not have his vocal boost of old yet on whole love it returns for one more song br br overall one of the best musical dvd's ever released only next to the great beatles anthology set that was released earlier in 2003 the sound both in 5 1 and 5 1 digital just like the beatles dvd gives you a feeling of being on stage with the performers standing right next to them as you would feel on the beatles dvd when they are in the studio even though the beatles and led are different bands though they each received different dvd's even though this set comes on only two compared to the five disc beatles set it still feels very filling to the viewer after they have gone through all of that content it is also a pleasure to watch again and again not only because of the sound quality but because of the sheer energy on stage when robert plant begins to sing br br a brilliant effort from atlantic,positive +i liked the whole set up with palace the roman guards and in this event also marked the passing of the torch as far as the voice of the goes gorilla who had done the play by play for every up to this point opens up and gives the typical introduction making it look like he's there to another but then introduces jim ross who is making his debut and jr continues to do the commentary to this day but outside of that this event is pure garbage good scientific wrestling has been thrown out the window and enter the birth of gimmicks this to me was the event that the started to go down the toilet and didn't recover until the attitude era of the late 90's here's a review of the event br br title match vs shawn michaels an okay opener but given what shawn is capable of it was very disappointing i have no idea why the was hell bent on putting over they should of realized that shawn was the future and was just some hyper wrestler in an indian the ending of the match itself was very lame shawn grabs the and pulls him out then gets called for a count out while it was fun watching get beat up this match just was forgettable shawn had to carry this match and had trouble doing it br br the brothers vs the get the win via a this match had it's moments but the crowd just didn't seem into it there was no heat behind it i think it was a match just to throw two tag teams in br br crush vs the clown terrible terrible terrible this match completely sucked two very lame gimmicks a clown and a dressed in bizarre colors the ending caught everybody by surprise in the upcoming months crush turned and turned face but none of the fans seem to care sadly this was not the worst match on the card br br razor vs bob you got a brand new that is very over going against a wrestler who was forgotten about 10 years ago the fans and laugh when comes out and like hogan rock in and owen in the wrestler gets cheers in the face thankfully this match was short the right guy won but i wish they had razor totally beat the crap out of and rather than winning by a small package out of nowhere br br tag team champion match ted and irs vs hulk hogan w jimmy hart i still would like to know the full story on what happened to eye oh well the crowd was really into this match but it had no flow to it what so ever hogan and were clearly suffering ring given that both had been on the shelf for at least a year being the great technical wrestler that he was did help to carry the match from being a complete waste the ending was a surprise with and irs getting the win via but to please the crowd hogan and did their usual playing to the crowd at the end like they had won the match br br lex vs mr perfect the best part of this match was the four hot chicks that accompanied lex to the ring other than that this was completely forgettable the mr perfect gimmick was born for a role and he just lacked the heat as a face and is just a waste of time no matter what gimmick he's in wins via a despite that feet were in the then perfect spends the post match getting his butt kicked first knocks him out with the running then when perfect consciousness he goes back to the dressing room to find only to get the crap beaten out of him by shawn michaels setting up an perfect that had the potential to be a classic but the br br the undertaker vs giant absolute crap what was the thinking bringing in such a horrible wrestler as giant sure he had size but i'd rather watch the brooklyn in a match than him this isn't even worth commenting on br br championship match hart vs you have one of the greatest technical of all time going against a guy who's only advantage is that he's a gigantic ass was able to carry the match but a rather predictable ending with mr throwing salt in face br br post match vs hulk hogan pure crap right here hogan comes down to the ring for no apparent reason and mr challenges him to a match after just won the title even the die hard find this to be total,negative +i am a big fan of works i believe that he was amid the greatest 20th century the film itself does a great justice to the of wonderfully portrayed by all the players in their roles does do a service to the sexually repressed he avoids an impression and from becoming a caricature the use of his poetry was the highlight of the piece itself rather than acting out the massive intensity with which felt the use of his words themselves give a better insight into plot and add a much more but altogether more fascinating atmosphere most enjoyable,positive +obsessed i have every season of girls and i think the reason i love it so much is because of how smart the script is its not your average comedy show there isn't any pause after a joke it just keeps on if you missed you missed it and its not like a soap opera drama either because it doesn't use dramatic music and the actors never have those stupid cheesy surprise looks i think girls is one of the shows on t v shows of its time its fun because they talk so fast you can't get everything the first time its nice to go back and laugh at the other jokes also they have so many references its amazing how smart it is br br and you can relate to the characters also their so real and there actors are superb from the witty to the luke to the immature kirk the show is just amazing i definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good time and spend sometime with there family this is definitely the show for them there is only one word that can describe girls classic,positive +i thought that the storyline came into place very well i liked this movie a lot if you're going to on a bridget fonda movie you can just i thought that on movie stars was a bad idea apparently somebody doesn't think so i rather enjoyed the movie i'm even thinking of buying it i want it to be my very first dvd for my room that's how much i like it i rather would not start an online argument with someone i don't know have it be over a movie if someone could kindly what they said about the storyline i would be more than happy to my insult however if they feel that i am not worthy of a i might just feel that they are not worthy of one either but i can't control their actions i can only encourage them in the right direction hey they don't have to make a but i would greatly appreciate it,positive +i can't say that i embrace this as a romantic comedy as i found little funny about it i did find it endearing entertaining heartwarming and sweet and while there were some witty moments i found them more bittersweet than outright comedic br br i liked this one barrymore has grown so much as an actress and it's always wonderful to catch her on the big screen but this well to the small screen too in fact on subsequent viewings i like this one more and more br br if you're a fan of the romantic comedy then you may be a bit put off by lack of comedic effect with this one but if you're in it for the romance it's definitely here to be found br br it rates a 7 8 10 from br br the fiend,positive +while at an isolated house a teen girl is by an murderer on the br br remake of the 1979 semi classic horror film basically takes the opening 20 minutes of the original film and stretches it out to fit an minute time span so it's pretty needless to say that the plot of this remake is pretty thin there's little in the way of originality or interest in this movie there's a lot of belle wondering around a dark house wondering who's calling her and all kinds of false scares it all gets and routine after the first 30 minutes and never manages to up much in the way of suspense or chills it certainly never reaches the intensity of the original film especially since it out and changes one important plot point from the original i guess we have the pg 13 rating to thank for that br br on the plus side there's an impressive set design and some dark atmosphere unfortunately there's not much going on around it to save this remake from being sub par performance is pretty mediocre too br br it's just another unimpressive remake br br 1 2 out of,negative +in the tradition of neo film noir flicks like this film focuses on a crime mystery in a bleak realm with a bit of character insight in the typical noir characters including the cop out to prove himself a damsel in distress and a bad bad guy machine gets a 9 out of 10 for its cinematography first plus its direction story strong character acting and superb jazz score available on dvd though the soundtrack itself is out of print but available used on some sites filmed on location in beautiful downtown novelist hometown and the circa 1979 look of the city would make an old time citizen or visitor long for the old days before 12 lane the city a dream at that time this was rachel first usa feature film,positive +i'll say it again one of the worst films ever made and it was made by the director that made one of my most favorite films i was to see it got a grade of over six this movie sucks it looked terrible it looked like it was shot in 18 days and must've been sleeping when he directed this arquette didn't do anything just plain terrible rotten unbearable and probably the only in celebrated career br br 1 10,negative +i watched this movie again yesterday with a 20 year old from my office ok it was the quiet day after and we both loved it i love the unique plot david duchovny david allen and the way the dog keeps waiting at the door isn't part of each of us just like that dog after someone we love dies br br i also love the old folks at the restaurant they remind me of some of the older people around southern new england where your ethnic group is a very important topic of discussion and i love the wedding at the end br br driver is great in this movie and bonnie hunt should have won an award for everything br br bonnie make more movies,positive +in my opinion this movie is not good i hardly find a good thing to say about it but still i would like to explain before i conclude it is just another bad movie br br i decided to watch it because is starring in it and that was the main reason i watched it till the end i like action movies and i understand that such movies are built on the action rather than the story i know they don't go into details when it comes to the credibility of the story and the events but even that does not explain why some scenes just because they lack the sense of reality look ridiculous br br at the beginning the movie looks quite promising a tough good looking and his not so tough but smart and funny partner must do a job which turns out a bit different than they expected the story takes place on a cruise ship a disaster happens the ship is turned over and only a few are left alive during their struggle to survive they have to escape a shark a professional killer and the rising water br br furthermore the movie is quite violent the main weapon beside the disaster which already took out most of the passengers is the gun which is successfully used in many cases i personally missed a good man to man or woman to woman if you prefer fight family fun i don't think so br br all in all i think this movie was shot in a hurry without a real vision what it is trying to say made of the usual action movie tricks with a bit of something called love and without a real meaning it just results in a bad movie,negative +a mexican outlaw steals gold from a along with some other and americans the americans double cross the and leave them all for dead the one outlaw survives and looks for revenge in this film that has jack all to do with the original the only named it kill to squeeze a few more bucks out of more people what we have here is a slightly below standard western that's too surreal to be that enjoyable and as such i can't really recommend it to all but the most hardcore western fan br br my grade d br br blue underground dvd extras part of spaghetti western collection uncut tell 20 minute documentary poster stills gallery talent for theatrical trailer br br 3 eggs highlight the hidden gun on the extras page for trailers for run man run and a man called blade highlight the hand on the main menu to get interviews on the of a rock group and a hidden gun in the language subtitles menu leads to the story of how almost got killed for being anti communist,negative +you know sometimes you just gotta have it that's how this movie is with me i am almost embarrassed to admit that i like it it is so goofy in some parts but i find myself reaching for it when i'm down and just need a good laugh and trust me i am just not a goofy movie kinda guy br br you can read the synopsis so i don't have to bore you with that just rest assured if you like you will probably like this movie br br one more thing be sure to watch the end credits you don't need to read them just watch them and catch the performance of in the navy by the village people and friends,positive +paul on this film the writing direction casting and acting with the exception of are all off the mark i remember the reviews from 20 years ago being mediocre but i thought it still might be worthwhile to view with such as susan sarandon julia who overacts in most of his scenes and john cassavetes i understandably expected much more the music picked for the film is jarring the cuts between new york and confusing and the overall pace all leave much to be desired why paul felt the need to update this story or add his touch to it is puzzling this retelling of and his daughter takes very little of from the play and adds not much more the play is not one of shakespeare's best anyway and to gut it even further seems not to be a good decision unfortunately there is nothing to recommend in this film,negative +this is one of those movies the critics really missed the mark on this movie is practically navy for the 90s or police academy at sea proves he can play roles other than as he and the navy in order to get his own sub rob schneider is as as usual the same in every role he plays and lauren holly is the local albeit with a brain ken hudson campbell is as funny as usual with almost every line a catch phrase the movie has a wonderful intelligent plot and a non predictable script that still surprises me every time i watch it many of the navy phrases and terms go over my head though but it's a small for the sheer accuracy and realism of the movie and its characters,positive +there was a recent documentary on making movies that featured a long list of actors and directors talking about what its like to make movies one common theme was you can have a great script great cast the best director and lots of money and still create a bad movie br br down is proof of the to that theory not an original or terribly well written screenplay a few solid actors but mostly and this movie just makes you laugh out loud it would be easy to just say that carried this movie but that isn't truly the case other character actors like rob schneider and the hilarious williams added significantly to the of the film br br cast dynamics or that mysterious movie magic are really what happened here creating a film that flows smoothly has incredibly well executed transitions and line after line of well written and well performed dialog br br a preposterous premise lots and lots of technical inaccuracies and just plan silly things that could not happen in the real world or the real navy but you just don't care as a marine myself i found that the overall feel of the movie while not plausible was also not too far off the mark as far as life at sea goes br br this is a very funny movie a good family film and particularly if your a fan lots of wit sarcasm and just damn,positive +ok i got the dvd set last week and i am finally getting around to my reviews but i sure liked this sequel in many ways br br zombie bloodbath 2 rage of the undead ok this one movies at a fast clip has some really good gore effects and some really well done atmosphere and style i would actually go on record as saying this may be one of the most stylish shot flicks that i have bought most of the time i get rather angry at movies for being boring and looking like soap operas even a movie like bone sickness that i like has incredible stretches of dull not this movie it never stops long enough to let you catch your breath although i wouldn't say i liked it better than the first film i will say that sheets certainly improved technically in the two years in between films this one has better gore the inevitable zombie feeding scenes characters and a few returning actors although their roles are different mainly jerry as a pretty good psychopath with a killer from hell the shots are more ambitious as well as the script this time around because you can tell sheets is trying to pull a lot more off than he did in the first film some of it works and some of it doesn't but i have to say that at least he wasn't just trying to do a larger version of the first film there was no mention this time around of a power plant of chemical just and the occult that brings the undead back to life so i say kudos to mr sheets for trying to do something different with this one i give this film two bloody thumbs up,positive +the questions and answers of the human spirit are all here in this masterfully crafted historical documentary the beauty and horror of one mans walk through life are revealed in and are combined and connected through a mental that has been transformed into a single straight which the walls have been with images created by one mans characterization of himself by the of his own vocal this film for about 80 minutes have discovered a new dimension of storytelling what do i call this apparently new sense only god knows after all isn't a miracle something that god does for us but chooses to remain anonymous br br this is a to see if you like to experience the lovely horror of war this documentary will your soul to the,positive +it's not often i give two stars to a horror movie because horror is my favorite genre a movie can be bad in that it isn't a masterpiece but can be enjoyable on the basis of unintentional humour bizarre characters etc a case in point are a great number of horror sci fiction movies from the 1940s to 1980s era they are enjoyable for genre buffs and guilty pleasure because their badness is entertaining however this movie has none of the humour or effective gory scenes of the 1978 original br br i suppose in 1995 it was the of political correctness so gore on tv was at a minimum now in the mid with the c s i shows tv's an absolute blood fest good for us horror fans br br william and alexandra paul are no and heather the original 1978 stars it's not and paul's faults but the writers and director who created this tepid turkey how the main characters interact is the main flaw of this movie i won't say how because that is part of the plot br br this tv movie probably had a bigger budget than the original but as good horror as can be seen from the user votes here stick with the 1978 original if you're in the mood for a killer fish movie,negative +you know i've seen a lot of crappy hong kong movies in terms of production and were good but running out of time was great br br i guess what made it so good was the fact that andy and wang have such great chemistry the film at first is really fast paced but slows down not enough to even notice which is also good we don't want to have a heart attack lol in terms of plot their is enough of other things going on to keep you interested has some pretty good moments as he uses make up to people from the underworld also the movie has the best oriental supporting cast since house of flying br br the movie is great because its so unpredictable and leaves you wondering at every corner definitely a good rental with tons of comedy action and thrills in to one 8 out of 10,positive +the is one of the modern day television productions that prove that some television can be just as good or even better as this is than what you see at your local theater br br if you want to read the plot read this and if you want other details skip down to the next paragraph this is the unforgettable portrait of an unconventional young girl named who works as a naive girl until she discovers her repressed homosexuality when she falls in love with a successful woman named kitty who dresses as a male for her stage profession the young girl soon joins the act as another male and they are a major hit soon the both of them on a tender affair kitty eventually becomes in a marriage of and young heart from then on works as male prostitute to men looking to have sex with boys then she becomes the private sex slave to the evil and diana where experiences severe emotional abuse when that ends badly is on the streets again where she recalls a young woman named a good hearted who had the true potential of being a wonderful partner that's where will discover the power of and learn how to get back to fame br br the region 1 transfer is of exceptional picture quality there is a very good scene selection an photo gallery and a fun interview between novelist sara waters and the film's writer andrew davies br br the sets costumes cinematography and music are gorgeous the acting writing and directing are extremely strong and filled with realism class and originality i loved the film and the novel section iii in the film is much different in the film than in the novel because section iii in the novel is great written down but isn't screen material i will be brave and say that i love the films interpretation of it much more br br this breathtaking historical combines drama comedy and romance to vibrant perfection in a way that is both deeply moving and uplifting for every mature and open minded adult who has ever felt the pleasures pains and power of falling in love and living life to it's a revolutionary production an absolute must see,positive +there are those who that this is not the opera but then they don't with the film of that was not the original show either all films of musicals operas are and have to be adaptations or they don't work took more liberties with the original show than did the film of and and yet it kept its original integrity the material and is judged an artistic success the same holds true for and it the opera into a dialogue song because audiences at the time loved musicals but stayed away from the few filmed operas it would have been suicide for preminger to produce a film of the opera it would have lost a fortune for the studios br br that said this is a fine adaptation the acting is excellent the oscar winning of andre is magnificent as is the singing and the individual vocal achievements are incredible robert dad of popular musician bobby dubbed and adele dubbed while sammy davis jr sang his own songs in the film his recording contract would not his voice to be heard on the soundtrack album so cab recorded his numbers spectacularly for that release bass is extraordinary and pearl is her own unique self although a singer of fine note has the small role of clara which required a high soprano so old reliable dubbed her singing br br the gershwin estate hates the film and refuses to grant the musical rights although the dramatic rights are in the public this sort of hate held up the video release of for almost fifteen years although in that case it was the dramatic rights that were in and is currently both and and annie get your gun from being released on video br br of all the stage productions given film versions it is these latter two which are the sole to video only a campaign of letters to the gershwin estate in ny might up the,negative +i don't think i will include any spoilers but if i do i can cover my butt the last american virgin came in a time were such teenage coming of age high school sex were the rave films such as 1984 hot times 1974 and the popular 1981 were making money yet it is the last american virgin the one that actually has a more serious plot story amidst the nudity and sexual situations it is the often told tale of three high school buddies who want to lose their virginity the go to the wrong places prostitutes the dangerous ones older woman with jealous boyfriend and the convenient ones their high school female counterparts the movie has a lot of funny moments and although the cast did not produce a single major movie star it is worth remembering for a fantastic 80's soundtrack that includes the cars journey and others by today standards is raunchy and might have grabbed a 17 rating but is a well told story of how sometimes personal can only bring pain while love might be right in front of us it is a little piece of 80s and worth having in your movie collection,positive +this is the second movie about 1985 the other one was 'the wedding whilst the was portraying the pop side of the 80's is all about metal br br mark plays a talented singer in a tribute band of some famous rock act of the time and jennifer aniston plays his girlfriend when his him his whole life changes in a day br br the story doesn't get too dramatic and it only the surface of the life of a rock star sex and drugs are very limited in this movie but it is full of roll the music is fantastic and the are directed brilliantly the whole concert feeling is very well captured since they used real audiences no cgi here br br great direction and a brilliant performance by mark who acts like a true metal dude br br is all about fun and if you had anything to do with the old metal scene you are going to love this movie br br 10 10,positive +let me first just say that in the past i have been a huge fan i think george is one of the people and best comedians on the planet what made george so great in the past was his ability to look at things in his own twisted way and give us his unique perspective on those things it wasn't always meant to be funny but you always respected his opinions because they were presented in such a clever way but you are all is just a long rant he doesn't give us any unique perspective on anything he just gives us a long list of stuff that he's p o at there is no insight no just an old man complaining for one hour straight about things that we have all complained about and on top of that it wasn't even funny you are all appeals to dumb people who can't handle anything more advanced than something simple and direct i don't mind anger comedy but george could have done so much better i really hope that george next show will live up to the quality that george has shown in the past,negative +the of box office big league stars is phenomenal in this movie william baldwin sutherland kevin bacon and julia roberts this movie was made in one of my favorite years too 1990 i am a and the setting in chicago was very and artistically as well i liked this movie and the which motivated the climax in this picture was a powerful element to the plot which was utterly sensational br br centers around a group of disgruntled pre students who want to be flat as a way of some sort of societal when life does not make sense it would appear very illogical to get curious about apocalyptic nightmares at the same time once their curiosity has gotten the better of them there is no turning back the king of the hill so to speak is the one who shouts i will do two minutes who else is going to do that anyone want to try for two and a half ultimately all of these newly arrived and very now have an extremely in these re pro lives the to their justified or pathos required a full degree perspective on the issues they were over whatever purpose all of this reckless and academic serves it is definitely an original approach for your personality i liked this movie 1990 was a good year for me too things seemed to fall into place that year when i saw this movie some night in november during the year 1990 i was very glad that i did,positive +will gut br br first of all i didn't know how diverse the sound of i live in turkey faith akin and alexander have made a different approach for turkish music performing seeing and music from a aspect had given the real meaning of the music itself br br in this movie i had found out how different our turkish culture is how interesting our performers are and how much respect they deserve unfortunately no one have been able to serve this kind of documentary before,positive +out of any category this is one demented and over the edge film even in todays standards filmed entirely in crap o this film will blow your mind and something else too br br the amount of hilarious bad taste and sleaze is astonishing the dialog is fast and campy you'll either love or hate this film but give it go i've seen it 4 times and absolutely love it divine is in the quest for being the person alive but so are her rivals too in this obscene and disgusting but funny and stylish little film br br divine was phenomenal and she will always be missed greatly edith massey does the unforgettable performance as the and don't forget the energetic stole br br crazy s t br br recommended also for you sick little br br female trouble br br desperate living br br,positive +hello looking for a movie for the family to watch on a friday night can't find what your looking for i thought this was an extremely enjoyable movie good for the whole family i found that it had a remarkably rare combination of it being appealing to both adults and children alike it was brilliant to say the least bruce acting was top notch there was a lot of humor in it and overall a great movie in my opinion it's a must see movie and i don't think that about a lot of movies believe me when i say it takes a lot for a movie to get me to think that it's clear that there was much work done by bruce willis and cast to get this movie done excellent story good acting and again overall a thoroughly enjoyable movie,positive +it was funny because the whole thing was so unrealistic i mean come on like a pop star would just show up at a public high school and fall in love with the girl who happens to be obsessed with him come on people br br everyone but the lead girl were completely horrendous at acting the dialog was cheesy the premise was stupid and the camera work was poorly done i felt like i was watching a badly made home video br br i feel as if i've wasted almost 2 hours of my life that i will never get back br br i don't have anything else to say except that i'd rather punch myself in the face multiple times than watch this movie again,negative +this sequel to the above and the final entry in the series is slightly more enjoyable on the whole but it's also more contrived hell we even get a singing peter is easily the least charismatic of the various egyptian high priests we've seen during the course of these films and martin as his henchman seems in the proceedings kurt then is with a ridiculous accent as the man who discovers the newly princess the latter in the form of virginia christine later a much used character actress gets her most substantial and indeed the sequence of her from the is a highlight not only of this film but the entire series unfortunately here too has precious little to do as once again the emphasis is on as i've said his mummy to which he returned most often at universal apart naturally from his signature role of the wolf man remains without a doubt his least memorable monster for the studio,negative +i don't understand why this movie was released it looked like something that you show your mates after you borrowed your she bought in 1987 i am australian and work for a video store in the uk and thought that if an aussie film made it into our store it can't be all bad boy was i wrong br br if anyone writes a good comment about this movie they are either lying or the makers of the film br br the picture was bad the sound was horrible and the acting oh the acting it was the worst acting in the history of film br br it makes me embarrassed and offended that they used the word in the title because i am proud to be australian and this movie is seen in other countries and may give people the wrong idea br br please anyone who reads this and has seen this movie take the time to find other aussie movies to watch because you could choose any one of them and it would be better than that one br br i could have made a better film if i took a camera filmed my but for an hour ate the film waited for it to pass through my body then threw what came out at the television no br br do not watch this film,negative +i consider as hitchcock's first american film because the story takes place completely in u s br br there are brilliant scenes in this film statue of liberty scene barry kane jumping into the water from the bridge water fall scene are amazing its not hitchcock's fault that he didn't get the actors he wanted hitchcock originally wanted gary cooper for the leading roles in foreign and but gary cooper wasn't interested in doing a thriller another reason why hitchcock didn't get big stars was because he wasn't one of top directors although rebecca was a huge success still most of film's success went to producer david o for example david o got best picture oscar for rebecca and hitchcock didn't get a best director oscar for rebecca hitchcock started getting some attention after foreign 1940 but universal gave him a low budget for 1942 hitchcock tried to get joel for this film because he was willing to work with hitchcock again with a low he enjoyed working with hitchcock in foreign 1940 but he was so the role went to robert hitchcock called robert a competent performer i thought he did his best he was a less known actor who was willing to play a role when many big actors refused to play the leading male role br br as for leading female role hitchcock wanted margaret or barbara stanwyck for the leading role they weren't interested either so universal decided to give the role to lane i read in a book that this was one of her favorite films br br i also liked the scene at blind man's house that is my favorite scene if we listen closer to the dialogue in scenes that happen in uncle house then we will see how intense it is uncle philip blind man was studying barry character the moment he entered his house the moment barry entered his house he heard through conversation he realized that barry kane isn't a criminal at all we also see his hearing ability through those scenes for example barry hears the sound of a car says is that a car coming uncle philip says 2 cars i think uncle philip was right we see 2 cars in the next scene lane did a fine job playing her role she was no big star but i thought her performance was really good another brilliant scene in uncle house is the scene where he asks lane patricia martin are you frightened pat is that what makes you so cruel i thought otto krueger played the villain brilliantly hitchcock wanted harry carey for the villain but he refused harry carey is famous for his role mr president in mr smith goes to washington i want to mention more about this film but i think my post is getting too long br br every hitchcock film is special in its own way i am sure hitchcock fans will like this film i rate 10 out of 10,positive +true love i truly enjoyed and loved this movie it was fun funny and inspirational i just saw it on dvd how did i miss this one it's a winner i mean was that guy i wanted to marry him this was my 1st time seeing him as a straight leading man and he pulls it off i thought miller was the best ever and i was a head too a woman who only fears her thank you for giving women of color range in your work and she looks great smith was a blast wright was priceless as this cute romantic comedy is a must see oh and the new marcus patrick is worth the surprise ladies true love karen,positive +i decided to write a comment on this amazing movie because here on imdb it is that john woo a mediocre director who made some decent films back in his pre american years but totally ruined his reputation by his latest made in us films plans to remake it well here are a couple of reasons why it is one of the stupidest ideas for a remake ever the plot of the film is simple and even clichéd by today's standards but what makes the film a masterpiece is acting by the four leads unique direction by cinematography music and its style there is no way any director today can make such film it is impossible to create such an atmosphere in a movie in today's box office targeted movie business br br john woo did make a more or less decent film which borrowed from le the killer but remember it was made when the director was not spoiled by big budgets and expensive in but cheap in acting merits actors so what i'm saying is that this is one of the greatest films ever made together with another film by le watch it and even if the remake will be made try to avoid it before seeing the great original first,positive +despite the all star cast this attempt at epic fails it comes across as a set of flat cartoon stereotypes strung together by an all too too clever social commentary br br it's as if with every bit of dialogue and introduction to a new character the writer out and says isn't that clever am i not smart isn't that biting social commentary and sadly the answer is always no self absorbing stuff that is more like soap opera in the worst sense of the term than a movie and an obvious attempt at television thankfully it died young empire falls falls flat,negative +i became a fan of the tv series homicide life on the late in the show's run but became a fan very quickly it was a cop show unlike any other visually different in its use of hand held cameras taking the viewer everywhere with its and cast and their varying and fascinating personalities and that it covered all of the good and bad of a police department including the corruption and personality that bubble up to the surface br br homicide the movie the reunion follow up to the series is as good as a made for television film can be after lt now a candidate for mayor of is shot the cast members are back to help find the killer in addition the cast members who left the force and those who died also manage to have their place in the film the intensity and fire that marked the series return and the script with the same fire that marked the series all in all a terrific tv movie br br vote 9,positive +i'm glad cage changed his name from and got this part on his own light hearted no deep thought needed but a cute piece about though her parents are still hippies captures the voice of the early 80's the of the valley and the of the other side one can see the beginning of talent,positive +possible spoilers from and director peter chan the love is a romantic comedy that takes place in a new england village where single mom helen kate owns a quaint little one day at work helen happens across an anonymous letter the love of the title that has somehow become beneath the of a reading couch upon reading the she believes it has been written to her placed in the couch for her to find and for reasons of her own thinks she knows the identity of her secret admirer inadvertently however helen leaves the letter out where her employee janet ellen finds it believes it to be for her and of course thinks she knows who wrote it circumstances then bring it into the possession of a young man named johnny tom everett scott who thinks helen has written the letter to him and before it all gets out you can only imagine the hilarious situations into which all of those involved have been cast and i do mean imagine because the way this movie plays out the audience gets little more from it than what it brings along itself there are two specific areas in which this romantic comedy fails miserably it simply isn't very romantic and it's not funny and that is a potent combination that causes this film to misfire practically from the opening credits once the setting and main character helen have been established it basically goes nowhere for the next ninety minutes or so by the time you finally find out who actually wrote the letter and to whom you could care less out the cast is tom nicholson gloria stuart and it's a shame to see such talent wasted on such as this and looking bad in the balance kate who usually up the screen just by showing up looks tired here while appears to have just come in off a three day that's lasted a week ellen actually comes away looking the best of the bunch it is said that the journey is often a more experience than the destination in the case of the love letter ' however it would have been best for all concerned if everybody had just stayed home in the first place i rate this one 1 10,negative +this film was original in an unoriginal way although many movies have the subject of suicide and mental it was always about treating the patients and making them better because of the doctor's assistance in this film however we follow a depressed guy who falls in love with a girl and will stop at nothing to make her happy even though she doesn't care for happiness at all she just wants to die this was a very interestingly cute romance comedy that in nothing less than enjoyable this is a fun one to check out if you ever get the chance you just have to be open minded about the material overall i give it a 6 4 i just voted 9 to get the rating higher,positive +the real star of the last of the airport films is that big the french created called the if you bear in mind that the whole film is dedicated to showing what that plane could do in the sky than the whole film kind of makes sense br br but if you're expecting some serious drama here than by all means take some of the action the shows here when some nasty folks try to shoot her down br br susan plays a television news reporter who also happens to be the mistress of military industrial robert wagner one of just happens to bring her information on some of dirty business selling arms to folks not friendly to the usa when the source is killed in front of her and she's nearly done in by a hit man whom she escapes from of course she confronts wagner with the information and of course he it but right before boards the widow kathleen maguire hands her the necessary documents br br but on the way to with a stop in paris wagner and his try to put the big bird down but the crew of david warner and george kennedy is up to all their tricks it's quite a bag full as you'll see if you want to watch the film br br if you're an you absolutely won't care about the plot it's like the film le mans with steve mcqueen which has a legion of auto racing fans who have made it a cult item maybe le mans is better at that because they just didn't bother with any kind of story br br among the passengers is a pot smoking played by walker a mother accompanying a new heart for her child played by and martha a woman with a weak who spends the entire trip from washington to paris in the she's actually the best one here br br robert wagner must have been psychic though because i'm sure on the strength of this film he got the part of doctor number two in the austin powers series br br i'm sure all concerned got a big pay day out of this film but it seems to have killed the airport saga of movies,negative +the only time i ever actually laugh while watching this show is when i'm making fun of it jamie spears only got the acting job because of her big sister and i don't think anyone could argue with me on that there is no expression in her face ever even when she smiles just watch the show and you'll see what i mean now let's talk about the show 101 is one of the most unrealistic shows i've ever seen as a lot of people have already said brooks is absolutely perfect everyone loves her she's a straight a student and all the boys think that she's hot is a school full of rich kids that gives all their students flat screen and computers serving kids from the bar in one of the episodes is completely clueless and thinks that chase is not in love with her and acts as if she doesn't even want chase to love her then when she into room to prove her friends wrong she finds chase kissing this girl named rebecca of course freaks out probably because she likes the attention from chase anyway only watch this show if you have nothing else to do and the only thing on television is 101 you can at least have fun laughing at how unrealistic it is,negative +naturally in a film who's main themes are of nostalgia and loss of innocence it is perhaps not surprising that it is rated more highly by older viewers than younger ones however there is a and to the film which anyone can enjoy the pace is steady and constant the characters full and engaging the relationships and interactions natural showing that you do not need of tears to show emotion screams to show fear shouting to show or violence to show anger naturally short story lends the film a ready made structure as perfect as a polished diamond but the small changes huston makes such as the inclusion of the poem fit in neatly it is truly a masterpiece of subtlety and overwhelming beauty,positive +the late shift was an interesting made for hbo movie that took a detailed look at the power struggle that between david and jay leno when johnny carson announced his retirement and both wanted to replace him this struggle is now part of hollywood but for those who don't know the story and are aware of where is now it might be interesting to learn that david wanted to replace johnny carson as host of the tonight show more than anything in the world but found his dreams being as frequent guest host leno had one of hollywood's most powerful agents helen in his corner and working to get her client the job it's not often that we get to see behind the scenes hollywood for entertainment value but for fans of these two late night this movie provided a fascinating look at a very period in late night television according to this movie was practically promised the job by carson himself while nbc had promised the job to leno and that's where helen came in the movie presents leno as sort of a who allowed his career to be manipulated by and ignorance to some of strong of some of biggest power players and it presents as this smart and businessman who despite having support was by nbc and john michael and daniel recreate and leno respectively but it is the razor sharp performance of oscar winner kathy bates as helen that keeps this movie bates the screen in one of her best if not so well known performances as the hollywood agent who eats television studio executives for breakfast there is also a wonderful turn by rich little as johnny carson but it is primarily a fascinating story and the performance by bates that make this one worth checking out,positive +i remember watching this series every saturday evening it was the highlight of the week i loved everything about it the location the costumes the actors and the wonderful music by i still have their legend album i loved the way they solved the problem of michael leaving by creating another robin this time the earl of i believe there were legends of several in medieval times another thing i loved was the fact that it was filled with young actors i'm sure robin and his men would have young after all people didn't live that long in those days other always look too old kevin with his ridiculous accent looked like the only sad thing was the ending it's a shame they couldn't at least have done a one off special to tie up all the loose ends and give it a happier ending,positive +well i'd probably agree with all the bad comments about this movie honestly i thought it was such a piece of crap i mean the actors had done a terrible acting job and the script was all terrible although the special effects wasn't a bit bad but i think the should have thought a lot harder than that i mean how did clara get successfully put into this film i mean she'd do a lot better if she looked a bit further and that goes the same with honey i mean her character dies and she doesn't bother to try and defend herself i mean it's gotta be a total joke she should at least do a lot better than what she an do like become a soldier or more of a heroine or something along the lines of bravery but the point is the actors did a complete soulless lousy job and so did the director and the writer who made this film they should've went into film school to think up some better ideas and i hope everyone agrees with my methods they are probably thinking the same thing,negative +is a bunch of short stories with an only common point the little town of in this film the director tries to explain some of these stories by using a young reporter as a the result is a strange film as it has any main character the movie spends about 20 min to each tale other than the town of any story is really well explained and the fact is that they result very boring it was by far the best film of the year in spain but well that's not saying too much the only good thing of the film is the precious scenarios it is filmed in a very precious valley and it is more enjoyable to spend the time watching the scenario rather than being aware of the story,negative +this is by far one the most boring movies i've ever seen and if you don't believe me go ahead and watch it for yourself br br the movie starts of slow the storyline makes no sense at all people fighting doesn't make any sense i could not make sense of what they were talking during the movie in most cases i didn't even bother it does nothing to keep you watching the movie the only plus point would be the cinematography new zealand looks awesome everything else just plain sucks br br the actors try their best to keep us awake but unfortunately you will go to sleep instead br br do us all a favor even if this gets on on demand don't watch it,negative +after watching desperate living i was hooked on john waters films i heard about pink and had to watch it and boy was it worth it believe what you hear it is trash it is packed with everything filthy which is actually the main plot of this film it contains the following incest rape chicken nudity like you never seen before beware of birthday party poo eating trailer trash egg cross dressing you get the picture above all this is a definite must just beware of the birthday party entertainer and divine wondering around the park,positive +in the early '80s i recorded from the cable since then i have waited hoping it would be on dvd yesterday i found it it is one of the best humorous character studies i ever saw the old fashioned episode is priceless at this time 4 28 only two have reviewed it one hated it the other loved it if you have a dvd player either rent it or buy it as i did,positive +maybe i'm biased because the f 16 is my favorite fighter aircraft although the f 14 is probably second or third but i liked this movie the sequels iron eagle ii and iii don't measure up acting and plot wise but the first one along with top gun have excellent flying and music along with reasonable plots and acting ii and iii clearly have much less of a flight budget but their main is plot and acting i suspect the relative fame and popularity of iron eagle compared to top gun is almost entirely a reflection of the fame and popularity of jason compared to tom cruise another plus for me is an all too brief appearance by smith 7 10,positive +i saw this again today for the first time in about 6 years i had forgotten how well acted this movie is paul newman gets the billing but dwight holds his own and shows how good an actor he really is,positive +i've watched this movie movie casually and i've never stop watching because is so ridiculous any dog can play this act and will be better then the actors actors of this bad remake of the fatal attraction there is no directing no playing only an unlucky copy of the adrian movie if you have doubt to suicide watch this and you can choose for yes br br i can't imagine people that went to cinema to see this rubbish maybe someone that had an empty afternoon and choose the first cinema near house to stay 2 hours with some others to forget problems but it's hard to go back home relaxed,negative +at the beginning of we're introduced to three of seemingly unrelated characters to make matters even more confusing we're informed via titles on the screen that the action is taking place in three separate time lines between the years 1999 and 2001 it takes a great deal of time but eventually we come to see how the three are related mark austin a young man in his gay and hiv positive is estranged from his conservative parents elizabeth and robert austin br br mark is now a drifter and arrives in beach north a town where he meets george played by michael kelly a gay motel owner and they eventually become involved with each other meanwhile birth mother grace played by bonnie hunt has come to the point in her life where she has decided to find the son she gave up for when she was 17 similarly mother also has decided to track her estranged son as she misses him despite the of her minister husband br br we're told is based on a true story and that perhaps is its director writer tim tries too hard to create scenes with dramatic tension where there is very little to be found take mark and both sensitive souls who have little to disagree about there's some slight tension when grace faces off against an agency director who is forbidden by law to give her any information about her lost son as well as a slight conflict with her mother who that she of her when she became pregnant as a teenager no sparks fly either between elizabeth and robert since the good has insisted from the beginning that he has no intention of with his son br br is similar to in that the gay couple are the good guys and the straight males for example the beach cop and the are the baddies the biggest letdown of the movie is that there is no interaction and hence no dramatic conflict between mark and either one of his mark is already dead before either the birth or mother has a chance to with him br br theme is both a for tolerance and an for family members to express their heartfelt feelings before it's too late sentiments are for the most part well but they do not make for good drama moves along at a pace without providing any new revelations or suspense regarding such topics as aids and ultimately fails due to a lack of originality,negative +i can get very tired of murder mysteries with the exception of a few really excellent tv series otherwise there are just too many of these murder plot themes i don't like the theme of the two over clever selfish killing as an intellectual exercise i've no interest whatsoever in hitchcock who appears to have been associated with this in some way i don't intend to find out about but don't me the theme is in itself excellent the whole movie is so well done and of course sandra is as always br br character is as in miss not rated by the male team she works with in spite of her obvious skills and the boss mostly ignores her ideas eventually forcing her aside and giving the case to her male partner of course sandra works out what's going on and nearly gets killed in a very dramatic denouement it's intriguing how the boy who worked out the murder plot can't allow her to be killed by his colleague he has a conscience of some sort and perhaps could be saved while the other is a true psychopath br br hard shell is caused by misery in her past that's tied in with the murder case her colleague that solving this case in spite of being by the dense superior finally discovers what happened to sandra herself in her teens that she must now face up to and and the last scene shows her starting we hope anyway to do just that br br i can see from the few other reviews i've had time to read that this movie would attract a group those interested in the two boys away their time with their grisly philosophical determination to trick the police and get away with the perfect murder the relationship between them that's so cleverly depicted the ghastly to the past a police theme and some and mirrors as well as for hitchcock fans br br for those who've why character has to have a past really i think this would be a far less interesting movie if she had been just a detective trying to what was going on with a willing sidekick helping out and a male boss the link between the murder victim and the detective is necessary to show the detective becoming too involved or otherwise how would she lose her arrogant confidence and thereby nearly lose her life that's hardly an original theme in fact it's usually an extremely irritating theme as this male boss brutally tells his frustrated but obviously inspired to get off the case and leave it to someone who clearly doesn't have quite the skills to solve it nice though the sidekick is i was getting very worried towards the end re what might happen to character as her emotional involvement in the case and special sympathy for the unfortunate victim of the crime dangerously drove her on with this case by herself br br i wasn't disappointed re the relationship between character and her sidekick that goes along interestingly and at times very br br the relationship between the two boys is definitely intriguing if that's what you were interested in watching i felt it was kept low key in some ways either because the movie makers didn't want to get into boy boy friendships too much or because we weren't supposed to think emotion ruled their relationship the movie cleverly makes you wonder which boy's in charge of the situation and there are some twists and turns and the boys show their underlying at various stages br br there one thing i wish had been and that's what happens after the movie ends when character arrives at the court you need to see to movie to know why she's there br br very well acted by all i certainly can't agree with those who complained against acting she was superb the part suited her very well indeed the story is gripping even if murder mysteries aren't your thing and they aren't that often mine,positive +lance used to get quality support work from james cameron heck he even had his own tv show for a seasons why is he doing this couldn't he find some better way to pay his bills br br i love a good low budget movie some of them you can laugh at simply due to their ludicrous premise their stereotyped characters or often times because the actors are related to the director producers but this movie has no redeeming value i didn't laugh i didn't cry i only had this sick feeling in my stomach that feeling was quickly identified as pity at one point lance was an a list support actor he's been in terminator he was going to be terminator before arnold showed up aliens classic b movie among so many others i wanted to send him money after this maybe we should start a support lance or something br br then again for making this thing maybe not,negative +the 1970s are often regarded as a golden age of british television comedy a period which saw numerous classic sitcoms as well as sketch shows such as monty flying circus the period was however not a golden age of british film comedy and what worked well on television rarely transferred successfully to the big screen the most exceptions to this rule were provided by the but their best films monty python and the holy grail and life of brian were very different in conception to their tv show br br the main problem with adapting sitcoms for the cinema is that concepts to fit the 30 minute 25 minutes on which has to find room for commercials do not always work as well when expanded into a feature film three or four times as long few people will remember the film versions of say up or and son with the same affection as the television versions in the case of many classic tv comedy shows some mothers do 'em yes minister towers the no attempt was made to film them at all for which we can be grateful characters such as michael frank spencer or john basil can be hilarious in half hour doses but i doubt if they would remain as funny over two hours one comedy programme albeit a of a comic novel rather than a sitcom in the normal sense which might have worked in the cinema was the fall and rise of but any hopes of a film were by the early death of its star leonard br br army was one of the few television sitcoms of the period which was turned into a decent film about the only other one i can think of was this was possibly because it had an unusually large number of well developed characters and derived most of its humour from the interactions between them the original sitcom ran between 1968 and 1977 and told of the of a home guard platoon in the small town of on sea the home guard initially known as the local was an during world war ii made up for the most part of men too old to serve in the regular forces the film version is a three act drama act i deals with the of the platoon and the of its members in act ii they cause havoc during an army training exercise in act iii they succeed in capturing a group of nazi whose plane has been shot down br br the three key players in this drama are the commander captain george arthur lowe and his two sergeant arthur wilson john le and jack jones clive who in life is the local bank manager is a little man at the world through a pair of thick it is he who takes the in the home guard unit and who himself its commander he is pompous with an exaggerated sense of his own importance and of his own powers of the sort of man who does not suffer fools gladly and in george world view the term fool covers most of the rest of the human race he does however have his good qualities he is motivated by a genuine patriotic and is capable of great physical courage shown in his encounter with the germans br br wilson is deputy at the bank the two men are very different in character something by a difference in appearance wilson being tall and thin whereas is short and he comes across as being both more intelligent and better educated than his boss his accent suggests he may be a former public nevertheless he has ended up playing second both in and military life probably because he has the sort of passive personality which leads to and and an inability to take anything altogether seriously jones is an old soldier who now runs the local shop his promotion to is due mainly to his ability to with black market his enthusiasm for his new role is matched only by his incompetence and ability to cause chaos although his is don't panic he is prone to at any given opportunity br br several other members of the platoon are featured private the scottish undertaker is even more of a than wilson we're doomed man doomed private is a gentle old man whose main concern is the of the nearest private walker is a sharp cockney and private another bank employee a boy mother is mistress although wilson tries to keep this secret from the two significant are the mild mannered and the warden enemy and quite his equal in and br br there are occasional keep your hands off my is ostensibly referring to those soldiers who hold that rank more so than in the television show which was surprisingly free of innuendo its creators david and jimmy perry would later go on to create comedy shows such as are you being served and hi de hi which were notorious for suggestive humour the film does however much of the mixture of gentle wit nostalgia and sharp characterisation which made the tv series so successful 7 10,positive +this is in short the tv comedy series with the best cast ever and the most likable also each one of them is a comedy actor i know only one tv series which was better i e one had willis as a it had willis only while the king of queens has a of actors that are as fine as one can enjoy kevin james jerry stiller nicole sullivan victor williams gary valentine and even all the rest of them … i and continually and promptly liked it age didn't spoil the fun anyway br br in a few words the series is intelligent and original miraculously of the current tv stupidity and garbage it is politically incorrect and doesn't court the in the usual disgusting way br br the comic is very and br br i read mostly a few imdb writers and sometimes they write about their favorite though these writers are several i did not encountered at any of them the slightest mention of my favorite tv shows but it's true that the critics one likes are not those with whom he finds himself in complete those who at least offer a common basis for are mainly wild wild west queens the '80s twilight zone tv show and most of them i have seen when i was about a few of them i have written and,positive +jealous husband holds car hostage while williams the viewer with his worn out at every turn yawn br br pay channel an bad script coupled with a less than convincing robin williams as a slick talking queens car salesman caught up in a hostage crisis the laughs aren't there the message s or morals are just all wrong and the film cant ever decide on whether its a comedy or drama pretty good cast all acting pretty badly when a movie ages so badly so quickly you got yourself a stinker not much else to be said other than maybe avoid at all costs mediocre movies like this are actually more tedious and less enjoyable than the over the top bombs,negative +being a huge fan of http www imdb com title i was expecting to be by another french beach romance with a lot of honesty realism and humor same director same actress what could go wrong unfortunately pauline a la is a huge disappointment it's very slow and which would be fine if the dialog conveyed insights into the characters was meaningful or original but it comes across as a typical soap opera between irrelevant talk and jealous the only thing that saves this movie from being a complete disaster is a small amount of character development or at least character change with regards to pauline the source material is standard fare sexual awakening during a beach vacation but it could have been a decent film nevertheless if any of the characters were interesting unfortunately that's not the case event though there are other shortcomings with season cycle most of his later films are definitely above this one,negative +i have seen many japanese and i have to say that some of them are really interesting but they are all pretty much the same this one is no exception the ghost is a black haired girl that scares it's victims by doing nothing else than walk and look dead the difference is just the motive for the haunting the rest is the same as every time black haired girl strange things happening with some media photos creepy acting while watching this flick i constantly found myself asking why i was wasting my time watching stuff that someone else has done so much better before some scenes where quite nice though i'll give it 3 out of 10,negative +how is or brain for dinner let tsui tell you in this wonderful and lighthearted comedy about the art of cooking the traditional chinese way br br this movie shares the common structure of an american sports movie but instead of focusing on baseball it centers around cooking which makes it all the more interesting i even think leslie character look a lot like charlie sheen in major league br br this movie also contains a bit of vs fighting love seeing more of that after the blade and a quite funny in joke concerning a leon pop song br br perhaps not the ideal movie for the strict though,positive +looking as sexy as ever plays a spoiled but innocent daughter of a french she cons one of her father's top michel into marrying her and it turns out to be the best thing for both of them michel is soon with his old girlfriends and in order to teach him a lesson heavily with a married prince charles michel is surprised by his jealousy a cat and mouse game ensues between and michel i'll have an affair no you won't and finally michel realizes she just might and to give up all the other ladies in his life and michel settle into their happily ever after while prince charles home to england br br it's an admittedly light piece but it's incredibly charming while some may fault it as a product of it's time i found that completely enjoyable worthy of a rental,positive +okay so i'm and i would like to say that it's time to stop stereotyping and making such films some of the actors actresses actually have talent but sadly it wasn't shown much in this film i was in my seat when i watched this being quite young at that time my parents dragged me along to see it honestly i could say that i was going to fall asleep and there was this arrogant boy whom just got on my nerves overall a boring film and a general waste of the actors' talent i have seen better movies than this chicken rice war was good however i cannot believe that this one would be considered a better film sorry i wouldn't recommend it,negative +quite possibly one of the greatest wastes of celluloid of the past 100 years not only does it suffer from a painfully and enormously predictable disjointed script but it's clearly a copy of alien ii within five minutes i had correctly predicted who would die and who wouldn't and in which order the special effects are laughable there is a scene where one crew member is by two that look like a pair of teddy bears and the sparse humor is misplaced and dire there are better things to do with a vcr remote than use it to watch this movie,negative +ii does no justice for the thin plot thin actors exception of randy quaid the only thing that is decent with this movie is the soundtrack maybe this movie should have been destroyed when the script was written,negative +this has become one of my favorite movies and certainly one of the best westerns i have ever seen having a soft spot for the genre westerns are – or were since they are no longer made very often – morality plays that too often have been by critics with intellectual i purchased the dvd sight unseen because i had read enough about william s work much of which he wrote and directed to my interest and thought i should have at least one of his films in my video collection br br i must admit that i approached the actual viewing with some my previous experiences with silent cinema classics had left me feeling let down the phantom of the opera birth of a nation and the mark of zorro were fine but not nearly as good as their would lead one to expect they were either too long or too theatrical or both br br the gate however emerged as a pleasant surprise br br it is a story told in a simple and straightforward manner black played by hart leader of a successful outlaw gang thinks the time has come for group to before its luck runs out he is however opposed by his chief lieutenant jordan who them all into one last by promising great wealth but leads them into a trap in which he is everyone is killed except who is taken prisoner when his recognize him as the man who once saved a number of soldiers and by warning an of an impending indian attack they allow him to escape free he tries to find honest work but is and and ultimately must rob again to survive soon he is pursued not only by the but also by jordan now from the reward money he has and his henchmen his flight leads him to a remote cabin inhabited by a single mother and her little son after some initial they take him into their hearts sees a chance for a new life but with the and jordan closing in realizes that this may not be possible br br hart was the first great western star and the first to realism into the genre as one of the of movie making he created many of the characters and situations that have become cliché in westerns for more than ninety years what keeps his movies interesting however was his ability to go beyond the cliché perhaps his did not go far enough so that the material appears fresh and innovative even now three such instances in the gate illustrate this br br 1 in one scene his character shoots into a crowd in an attempt to kill jordan and kills a instead a subsequent close up shows that he is clearly frustrated the frustration however comes not from the fact that he has down a man who had caused him no harm but that he missed his intended target br br 2 in another as he from the his borrowed horse steps into a hole and breaks a leg hart pulls out his gun to put the animal out of its misery but before pulling the trigger gives his head a sad loving pat as if to say farewell to an old friend br br 3 and finally after he has jordan and thrown his body over a cliff he returns to retrieve his guns and spots his pistol lying on the ground nearby he steps forward and gives it a swift kick before his horse it is a simple gesture but it the deep loathing he feels for the man who betrayed him and his br br and i love the title the gate it is in its that a man cannot begin a new life until he has paid for the sins of his old one comes in the form of sacrifice today's more sophisticated audiences may not buy into that sentiment entirely but it can still work on you if you let it br br viewers who like their videos in condition will undoubtedly object to the dvd's picture quality especially the badly final reel i don't mind at all that a copy of this movie even exists at all is a miracle since of so many other silent movies have been lost if you bear that in mind and look upon the film as a piece of history its visual flaws are not that difficult to accept br br william s hart was born in in new york but grew up in the and where he learned to speak and indian sign language he counted and bat masterson among his friends and paintings so his knowledge of the west was first hand if his vision seems overly by today's standards it is nevertheless far closer to reality than the spaghetti westerns of the '60s and '70s and the works that followed both the star and his films are for re,positive +generally speaking i don't make negative comments on here but since this is a festival piece i don't want you to waste your time when you could see something else that might not be playing again br br i thought the actors were pretty bad for instance they totally didn't play off each other rather they waited to their lines which were pretty poor to begin with the dialogue sounded really forced norman or whatever his name tried or so it would appear to be witty and biting in the lines he chose but just fell really short br br after words he asked if anyone saw the ending coming and some people were all and he all but called them look there were so many clues the biggest being a full of cash for a 500 an hour whore i mean the john gave her at least tell tale sign now no you couldn't see exactly what was going to happen but by the time the twist actually occurred i for one didn't even care i was just glad to get out of there i asked him which draft he shot and he said 8 1 maybe next time he will wait to shoot 15 3 cause this needed a lot of work br br but he seemed like a fairly nice guy he is making his own films he'll probably get better and i hope he does not in a way either i mean it i wish him luck just remember this is just my opinion,negative +this film is without a doubt the worst action film i have ever seen i am sorry but it is just pathetic in fact the best part of the movie this movie is supposed to be a serious one is when a chicken across the road on foot at about 100 miles per hour this pathetic editing mistake makes the film absolutely hilarious for approximately 2 seconds then it is back to non stop on the edge of your seat as you try to find a comfortable position to sleep in action,negative +is an odd little film the director seems to be trying to combine the atmosphere of classic style horror movies with the shock factor of the then exploding '80s slasher genre it isn't totally successful mostly due to very obvious and the less than professional caliber of its cast of young actors but it still has its moments mostly due to the classy performance than the movie deserves by the late german actor who plays an aging old time horror movie star ala vincent price named conrad at the beginning of the movie we meet the has been horror star as he's shooting a commercial for and we quickly learn that ol' conrad is a bit of a donna jerk off just when you think he couldn't be any more un likable the commercial director conrad for blowing a take for the time and the old goat pushes him off a balcony to his death nice huh conrad then visits some fans at a college campus horror movie club unfortunately he suffers a heart attack in the middle of his speech to them and eventually ends up back at his mansion waiting to die still even at door he manages to do away with a business associate by him with a before he finally kicks the bucket himself conrad is then laid to rest in true hollywood style in a high tech tomb with video screens above the which will play personal video messages from conrad himself for who enter to pay their respects br br it is at this point that the kids from the college horror movie society decide to pay grave an after hours visit breaking into the tomb and taking his body back home with them for an all night party not exactly my idea of fun but hey these are characters in an '80s horror film logic has no place here the college kids spend the evening having dinner with body in a place of honor posing for photos with it and even dancing around the room with it before parking conrad and his coffin in the attic planning to return him to his crypt in the morning in the meantime mrs over the of her husband's body has called in a psychic friend to try and reach conrad through a you can pretty much figure out the rest from here since conrad wasn't a very nice guy in life it's not much of a stretch to assume that he won't be any in death psychic lady makes contact with conrad and he re in predictably off fashion then spends the rest of the movie around the corridors of the ridiculously huge house picking off the young grave robbers one by one this is where the movie falls apart endless scenes of teens wandering around empty saying hello is anyone there are with occasional bursts of violence we do get a pretty scene which is the highlight of the movie before the last two survivors finally figure out way later than any semi intelligent people would have figured out the same thing but again we're in an '80s horror film that the only way to stop the mayhem is to get body back to its crypt where it belongs the pacing is padded out with a lot of weird lighting and dry ice fog effects backed by a soundtrack made up almost entirely of sound effects rather than music thunder and etc that becomes severely annoying after a while br br i can't really recommend to anyone who didn't grow up watching cheap movies like this on late night cable back in the '80s modern horror fans will find incredibly slow moving and goofy if you came of age in that magical decade however you may get a blast of nostalgia from fans of jeffrey re animator combs may also want to check it out as the future dr west appears in an early role here as one of the unlucky film students br br i will advise the reader to avoid the version of this film on the label paired with roy vault of horror and sold at dollar stores because the print quality is terrible i'm told the film has gotten a release via the fine folks at troma which seems appropriate if you're a troma kind of person then will be right up your alley,negative +this movie was a failure as a comedy and a film in general it was a very slow paced movie that seemed to be trying to convey a message but the message was a cliché hopeless mess to begin with this movie falls on shameless point even making a self righteous point of destroying an and promoting animal planet br br in sitting through this i couldn't help but notice that steve carell got no more than a single truly funny line the only thing that could mark this as a comedy is the pitiful attempt to give comic relief lines to sykes her character gets frequent cringe worthy lines where they absolutely do not fit br br far from the brilliance of bruce almighty almighty blows its whole record breaking budget on special effect plot devices that turn out to barely advance the plot the movie spends the first half building up to the construction of but by the end we learn that the was completely meaningless and the whole plot was a just a for the stupid gags and even messages the movie concludes when we learn that the whole and animal gathering was just a weak political statement by none other than god yes god was trying to influence politics,negative +central airport is the story of a pilot named jim richard who has one bad flight in over hours and is forced to give up commercial flying he meets a beautiful girl named jill sally and the two start up an act involving flying and stunts the two start a relationship but when jim is hurt his brother tom brown takes over the act for a while and falls for his brother's girlfriend from there things get exciting and terribly terribly sad br br this film is a pre code because of several reasons first jim and jill have their relationship without being married and with no intention of having a wedding second is shown in her underwear and absolutely scene when the production code came into effect br br this film does not on the dramatic love triangle and in consequence ends,positive +we all know that the world is full of dodgy rip off horror films some of these can be fun to watch due to their stupidity awful effects and dialogue but which could have been in the same league as the equally pointless series does not even attempt to have any enjoyment in it its so poorly done it is really unbearable even if your just watching it with the intentions of having a no brain day at home where do we start well the sets are pretty drab my old drama group created more realistic stages the look like they are from a university and it looks equally unbelievable on the outside even for cover up why would you place yourself near where people can easily hear the dinosaur whilst the doctors ward just doesn't look believable at all next up in the complaints list is the creature effects well what can i say absolutely pitiful also i think it's worth mentioning the woman's tits should be mentioned as an effect both of the main female characters have so obviously had jobs and it brings the characters down being one female is a respected member of police whilst the other is the sweet innocent daughter of the towns sheriff the acting though is by far the worst tragedy eric roberts can be for at least trying a bit to give his role something thats where it ends corbin benson should have killed his costume designer for making his performance look even more pathetic whilst the female lead looks so bored though with this film you could let her off the other character i'll point out is the daughter who lets her tits do all the acting in the raunchy sex scene ten minutes of endless re run shots of her on top of some bloke br br all in all and summed up as one don't bother just don't,negative +a lot of books have made it onto the big screen some of them the guns of fear is the key where dare have been translated rather well some pass ice station the secret ways have been passable enough a few river of death bear island the way to dusty death have been pretty rotten to is another movie based on one of popular but alas this is yet another that deserves adding to the rotten list by uninteresting characters who get into uninteresting situations and to is an absolute failure both as a thriller and an entertainment its only semi redeeming qualities are a that it is filmed on very attractive locations and b charlotte looks utterly ravishing with fully nude scenes to boot as the main female character br br american drifter neil david is travelling through france when he meets british photographer charlotte they decide to each other and during their make the of mysterious de michel the the pair to aid him in protecting and hungarian scientist michael who is sought by various shady parties because of some information that he is carrying in his head kept secret from and is the fact that has discovered a secret formula for using power as cheap energy the hungarian needs desperately to get his formula to new york but hired guns have been put on his trail to capture him – presumably so that he can be taken back to some ruthless criminal lord and tortured into revealing his priceless secret which they can then sell on to the highest and find themselves and their terrified fugitive on the run in the french countryside from their deadly br br the film seems terribly cheap and amateurish almost like an ultra low budget independent film made by a non professional cast and crew yet a fair sum of money was actually thrown at the film and all those involved have at various points in their careers done much better work therefore one has to assume that the film is bad simply because it has been written acted and directed with a distinct lack of care and interest the pacing is deadly slow and the plot points become so that the viewer has to put in too much effort to keep up with the story performance is and only creates a stir due to her nude scenes – the character itself is an absolute bore and the actress looks rightly bored by it for those who manage to stick with the film right to the very end there is an unusual scene featuring some deadly and a fierce bull which while not particularly exciting or well executed is at least different to the norm to is a very disappointing film in most respects and once more a strong novel by the prolific author has suffered during its transition onto the screen,negative +from the director of comes this slick vampire flick ho song stars as a priest who is accidentally changed into a vampire while being of a deadly mysterious virus his and are quite at conflict but he is able to survive by robbing the blood bank and unconscious patients who might not mind some blood because of his supposedly survival he comes into the lives of ha family shin has cancer and his mother believes that song can cure it unfortunately raises his levels of lust to a height where he can't help but fall for young wife ok kim kim is intensely interested in the world of and the two become lovers the film from there goes in weird directions that i think one should experience for themselves what really should be mentioned is chan of the medium of cinema my god i've rarely seen such a masterful visual artist at the peak of his powers the major flaw of the film is that it's a little incoherent especially near the beginning park is interested in telling his stories mostly in the visuals which can be difficult to follow at times but when it works man does it fly the film is also hilarious the final sequence easily one of the best of the decade is simultaneously heartbreaking and delightfully ridiculous ok kim should become a worldwide star after this film she gives one of the best performances of the year,positive +i can't count the times i have watched this and although it from the book in story line the mood is still the same the bond that two such diverse people give each other that surpasses trials and years is immortal and that the element of the women prisoners was an actual event that did happen to real people the story is about the strength of character of ordinary people people who just tried to survive a horrible time in their lives and this also presented australia in a real mode the country is like all countries areas that everyone loves quaint country areas and desolate areas but it gives a stage for transformation from a town to a family community,positive +this movie rips off of every mobster gangster film ever made da last don has a reference to every movie the acting was by far the worst i have every seen who the hell is john mario anyway his acting was by far the worst i have ever seen he makes bad actors look good as far as master p goes he's selling out than an n sync concert i really wish i was there to tell the whole production company what the hell were you thinking when the script obviously these people are so on the gangster image that they decided to make a movie and live out their gangster lives for real in their minds one thing i do know is that there wasn't anyone who wanted to this film so it seems and how predictable that the guys at no limit had to start no limit films i've said enough this movie is terrible and it does not deserve to be called a movie,negative +this movie a certain brand of comedy horror of a strictly adult kind but quite different to the troma movies with which it shares certain qualities the humour is rough and ready but fast and furious if the idea of hideous dolls with evil powers and twisted minds don't make you with boredom reach for the six pack of beer and enjoy the best film yet,positive +my son an avid sat me down and made me watch this with him as i love documentaries it didn't take a whole lot of pressure on his part the whole amazing story of it all a bunch of dirt poor kids drift together and end up creating something revolutionary out of thin air well more out of some wood and lack of waves to surf it just me it still does i didn't think i would enjoy it the way i did nor did i think i would tear up watching tear up over the fate of jay adams and just watching jay adams himself the sheer genius of the kid and the of the adult remembering i watched it again last night for what has to be the time and i still get watching him fly down the hill with freedom playing in the background and i up again not too many movies have the same impact with me after several viewings brilliant,positive +ok this doesn't compare to the explosive of the first opening sequence nor to its visual shock value nor for that matter to the suspense of the second installment no it's surprisingly and different apart of course from the two main actors the tongue in cheek futuristic scenario drives the characters towards each other across genres and languages with an almost force the moment of impact conclusion is your choice of a shakespearean metaphor of life and humanity in a cartoon costume b of violence into c humorous of an impossible everything up to then is even less br br highly recommended to movie buffs who don't mind following with a hot dog caution to those with more,positive +i think starts out to do a gay gone with the wind if so sorry tag it didn't happen it also didn't happen as a gay flick i guess i'm confused what are we trying to do here much as i'd like to i simply can't get to where i care even a little about these characters this movie is effective in capturing a taste of the that lives in the south it does nothing to explain or advance my understanding of a gay relationship or the conflict the protagonist seems to be with,negative +first i must point out that the role corey played was exceptional usually corey was to supporting roles but here he is what helps carry this very limp film without him and the character he played the film would have been a lot worse hardly a 2 or 3 br br so why did i hate the rest of the film so much well one of my pet is when characters act too stupid to live you can't base major plot points on the that your major characters are completely stupid unless having a brain injury is part of the plot of course but this is exactly what happens in this film corey is a crazed man who has murdered three innocent people and they know his next target is joseph wife so what do they do yep they provide really police protection and a plan that makes no sense at all no and guys with that are so far away they probably won't stop this madman and if this isn't bad enough the marked woman inexplicably runs away from her hiding place and walks right into the worst possible place she could be is anyone that stupid i hate when movies have such dumb characters in fact i found myself rooting for corey since i felt the idiots deserved to die for their in addition to these clichéd characters there was also a bit player who sure seeing your husband shot might cause someone to faint however in real life this is a rare people rarely faint unless there is a medical reason so combining this with the above character problems is a real nightmare for people who are looking for realism something film noir movies must have br br all these serious problems are even more since character is amazingly well written and conceived it was his chance to shine as an actor too bad the rest of the movie was so limp that corey and the basic plot idea are sunk this is one film that could really use a remake but this time without brainless characters,negative +'the has wit visual flair and an iconic performance by jack nicholson ' however has none of these things although it does borrow from its classic to wit a man through a door and a woman running around while a huge kitchen knife unlike stanley kubrick's great psychological horror film is a work which with a lack of genius it is awful it makes the spice girls movie look like a work of vital art is the tale of a family that moves to a community in the all is to be well with the world they will live in peace and they will go about their business away from those mean old city streets but no character julia starts getting by those things that insist on going in the night by empty and doors that close themselves and her husband samuel played by switches in an instant from laid back family man to wild eyed julia with a drug to keep her under his sudden much respected as an actor is absolutely dreadful in this comic rather than menacing he simply cannot pull off a threatening expression he just come across as a ball who's had one drink too many so is there anything to redeem this film no the script is clunky the plot non existent and the cast without merit completely without tension and full of be scared now moments is an exercise in how not to make a psychological thriller it is ridiculous and overblown but as one of the most unintentionally hilarious films of recent years it's well worth a watch,negative +spoilers br br i love the simpsons and i have seen every single episode that had ever come out i must admit season one is by far the most underrated season and this is the most underrated episode in season one the episode begins with the family playing a game of to get bart ready for an intelligence test he needs to take at school he says the game is stupid and he doesn't want to play it but he needs to he spells out a word that homer and he chases bart around the house the next day mrs the class that the test isn't part of their grade just a test that would tell them what their future would be like bart can't answer one question he thinks fast he quickly switches test with martin prince the one in class later that day and homer are called to go to the office to discuss behavior suddenly out of nowhere the school psychologist comes and tells and homer and that bart is a genius and should go to a special school for the gifted bart agrees to go since he wouldn't need to do any the next day homer drives bart to the new school he is introduced to everyone and everything his day isn't very good the smart students take his lunch he can't read any comic books but he does anyway and he is criticized by his fellow students luckily for bart he and homer start to have a great time together but bought tickets to an opera they go to the opera and make fun of it the next day he goes to his old school but is made fun of by his friends they call him a point while at his new school bart is told to do a chemistry experiment he does it wrong and blows up the school leaving himself green bart is told by the psychologist to tell him why he did it instead bart tells him he wants to go undercover and go back to his old school to observe other kids the psychologist is intrigued and he asks bart to explain it on a piece of paper he finds it too hard and instead writes a confession that he really isn't a genius he gives it to the psychologist all he cares about is that he spelled the word confession wrong that night homer bart and bart tells him that he really isn't a genius and that he cheated on the test homer gets angry and chases bart around the house as lisa and look at them casually br br overall this is a very underrated season one episode br br 8 10,positive +i watched this film on telly the other night and little did i know what a cringe fest it would be i knew it would be stupid but not this bad this film everything that is awful in australian comedy apart from the most tedious uninspired scenarios and characters i have ever come across aside from those dubious french produced american tax break comedies most of the situations were boring unbelievable stereotypical and so not funny just terrible br br one such scenario that really annoyed me was the on the bus scene from a screen writing perspective the writers used the most uninteresting not to mention unbelievable scenario to get these three stranded without their they are on the holiday of their lives and they're going to risk it all including a 300 and room to their rights to dance on a bus i mean they're about half an hour away from their destination at least they could have had the bus driver kick them off but no they leave willingly can't take it anymore wreck their holiday anyway i can't believe the writers didn't this appalling scenario out i think a ten year old could come up with 5 set ups more clever funny and believable br br i can go on with many others the really unimaginative stereotypical psychopath the whole relationship with the angry girlfriend and tag along virgin the man out there stuff on the train everything was just i cannot think of one redeeming feature of the this film except that maybe the third wheel nerd was kind of cute his career by appearing in this trash though,negative +hi i have to say you got some wrong information about the series here the main author was richard carpenter he created the series later on there were some other authors but they only did a few episodes br br the first director who did most of the series i think complete series 1 was ian sharp who created the distinct look of robin of br br did indeed see some of the material and they read the i know this for sure because richard carpenter told it on a con in england last year br br i think this is a masterpiece of television entertainment because it has great characters and cast good costumes and great story lines for me still one of the best tv series ever,positive +there was broadcast news and what a good thing it was this one just plain stands up and sounds its in a manner that two decades later br br there are moments especially with respect to the score when this film becomes a bit too eighties or a bit too in seattle fortunately they're few and far between br br one third social satire one third romantic comedy one third drama with three flawed but endearing people at its core it's smart and moving and almost funny holly hunter in particular may never have been more fun to watch in a comedic role and yes i'm including raising arizona her other star turn from that era in this br br a legitimate classic,positive +seymour gives a great performance a tour de force his acting as supposed washed up beach stud duke will always have a place in my heart the film is centered around a nerd who just came to the beach in hopes of his dead brother's dreams what he gets is lame surf guys cheating guys fighting and guys getting drunk going to watch surf documentaries with the whole town of la on a friday night duke takes the nerd in and tries to teach him how playing is like touching a woman next time my woman talks back i will pretend i'm the ball br br back to seymour the end of the movie turns into a good drama since the first half of the film really had no point duke plays a wonderful game of the best he's played in over ten years the way the scene is shot is beautiful you can feel the heart this man has for the game and the love of being on the beach those five minutes will go down as one of my favorites of all time 3 10 bad to fair the rest of the movie was lame,negative +when me and my went to see this film we didn't know what to expect however she assured me that it had good reviews so i went along with it we got into the cinema and bought tickets and went into the screen after a while of sitting there waiting for the film to start no one else walked through the door i was very suspicious as you usually get at least a couple of more people in any film screening the film began eventually and we sat there after a while of very little dialogue and very arty type moody scenes i was starting to realise why we were the only people there it was disjointed with random cuts from the main story to kids in a park the story it's self made no sense the kid was meant to have committed a crime when he didn't and if he did writing a letter to no one is not an answer and you shouldn't feel not guilty just because you wrote that letter he should have been there was no point to this film at all i have no idea why we didn't go and get our money back part of the way through the film i tried to give it a chance i guess there was little concept to this film and the execution was the writer and director and just about everyone else who made this film should have realised what they were doing and stopped it is an hour plus that i will never ever ever get back i'm sorry to anyone who liked this film but it's just so so awful i mean really really really bad oh well at least i never have to be subjected to it again,negative +reading through the comments there seems to be a lot of nonsense about the emotional of la i find this hard to comprehend given the outstanding performance by isabelle is gripping she manages to convey perfectly the woman on the edge full of self hate and br br the film is wonderfully paced and judged it would be so easy to portray the lead as a ridiculous figure consider the scene in the porn store for instance somehow is able to carry it off partly because of her brilliant performance but also because the director makes her surreal life real and br br don't ignore this film it is one of the most startling and engaging films and performances i have seen br br trust boris,positive +my friend made me watch this awful film ugh it was so stupid br br its about some black guy who gets a plane company and turns it into a stupid thing br br with dog acting as pilot for god knows why this movie is white people and having many racist stereotypical events making fun of br br white people and trying to make the movie seem like all black people are cool and all white people a losers and black people get all the girls blah blah blah and so forth br br i despise my friend for making me watch this movie i kept saying god turn it off and he's like no i bet something funny is about to happen we did end up finally turning it off half way through thank god br br i recommend this movie to people with very very poor taste in humor,negative +i still find it hard to believe that a fine if overlong novel by dean was transformed into this utter br br this movie is so bad it's disgusting to all who shame on you br br p s the fact that sequels have appeared just goes to show how little taste and remains in silver screen land,negative +it sounded so promising in the rental store the premise sounded great and i wait to get home and watch it it was the is dreadful the action is extremely badly scripted and the plot takes a from the beginning puts in a pathetic performance sean bean tries his best but with a script this bad there much he could do br br this even worth watching even if you can get it for free borrow it off a friend for instance dont as you will regret it and waste 90 of your life br br 0 10,negative +i caught this at the chicago and have to say you are alone is a lot funnier than the other reviews and even the website would lead you to think not ha ha wedding funny but sick twisted i can't believe she just said that but it's so damn true funny br br jessica who deservedly won best actress is amazing to watch there's never a moment when you think oh i'm watching a movie and she's an actress she's too damn real for words br br in fact there's 2 scenes that i'm still over and i won't give them away but in one she's in the bathroom talking about how much she gets paid for performing a certain service and how awesome it is i almost wonder how many people in the audience are secretly thinking the same thing br br in another she talks about a teenagers definition of sex versus an adults and if it isn't the dialog i've heard in a movie in a long time i don't know what is,positive +indeed is in this movie as elizabeth talking to though i'm just wondering how she ended up as a where is also in there trying to his weight as seen from the previous episodes br br anyway this last episode is really suspended the ending is not so understandable i think the writer did expect the audience that there is a season 3 coming br br i just hope the next season will give light to more unclear hanging events that were happened br br just can't wait further for season 3,positive +by thin experience of both life and industry and no cash early short is almost by necessity an piece set on a high school campus the cast are rather weak and do not benefit from being shot in b w it's difficult to tell the characters apart the sound editing does little to help a simple story of teenage br br yet there are one or two things to note the inconsistent editing the high school campus is filmed with a balance of wide and intimate close up shots the editing to music also creates an interest and momentum without descent into the of the music video coppola clearly made an attempt to the pace of the film the dramatic turn is cut fast and to the point and the second act is almost non existent we it's actually been played out in with the first which is the point of the narrator on who is an otherwise curiously character in that first act br br despite these notes it's an awkward short 2 10,negative +this digital horror film brings us into the budget film genre where the more blood and chicks in distress the better the story is weak the acting is respectable and the special effects well they're special alright a quality horror film for the fans that already know what to expect,negative +this was one of my favorite movies from childhood i watched it so many times eventually my tape wore out i was a huge fan of this show and still am the thing i love most about this movie is that it appeals to so many people both young and old i watch this movie now and laugh just as hard as i did the first time i saw it i am now able to appreciate all the adult jokes that i never got as a child my favorite characters are and almost fifteen years later my dad a huge fan of the movie as well and i are still lines from this movie i love the part where and shirley go to the movies you save the seats and i'll the i also loved the storyline of and and his family going to happy world land pig reminded me a lot of my dad i love the part when they finally get to happy world land and all they do is ride on the this movie is hilarious and appeals to children and kids the animation jokes and everything about it are top notch if you have not seen it rent it you won't be sorry,positive +i saw this movie when i was a lot younger but it captured me i loved and relationship so much i was so in and love story i am a hopeless romantic so it really got to me i especially liked it when he first met her i just wish he had more time with her and their baby so you know in book three i was so hurt that he died i didn't really understand that because they had little time together i just loved patrick in this movie i just bought all three books together and i can't stop watching them my 12 year old son is stuck on it he likes the fighting in the war i cry every time i wish i could meet patrick and in person it was a wonderful movie and cast,positive +this must be the first movie i've rented and not seen to the end complete garbage the acting the plot set and wardrobe looked like it came from a porno movie with a plot not even a b move,negative +spoilers ahead br br 15 park my humble take on this film br br now for a viewer of cinema having tastes as severely limited as mine films like 15 park ought to be to my sensibilities with this thought and a mild sense of embarrassment that i hadn't watched the complete film earlier i watched this film last saturday there are some starting similarities with other works like the legendary drive david lynch from which this film borrows at least 3 concepts br br a that at least some truths are relative b the first scene of and going around in a car as the opening credits roll is similar to the car ride that betty and rita in drive in both cases the object of happens to be a place which is probably mythical in both cases and perhaps more openly symbolic in film c the incident revolving around the mad woman is again extremely reminiscent of the whole behind involving a bum but while that scary creature is an of something and that that as well as the character per se is linked to other works of lynch notice carefully the long hair the effect of the woman in 15 appears to be a tribute and therefore insignificant in the context of the film and its message br br the other films from which 15 also borrows is blow up especially the last scene is a throw back to the truth vs perceived truth presented towards the end of masterpiece of course the professor and angle also bring to the mind a beautiful mind although admittedly the subject here is high brow physics and who it inadvertently ends up being the brilliant to the hallucinations of character through those very in an outstanding scene in the movie some of these elements are with each other and that scene cuts back and forth from the world of where quantum physics and the theory of justify the and composition of the universe to the artificial of the world of but for all their differences the sisters are alike too both are incapable of long lasting relationships one out of choice and the other out of nature so pain at being rejected in love by is in harmony with the inability of to form a special bond with either or but i'm getting ahead of myself viewers generally tend to view this film in one of the following two ways br br 1 it was all along there is a certain section of the audience who think so but that explanation is not only too far fetched but also contrived as that would mean she was dreaming up so many other characters too i e all those characters whom she as along with her br br 2 there was a real and the ending is a metaphor this says that the film's essence is in one dialog in the film when in response to a statement by joy that is looking for something that she will never find his wife shah that we all are looking indeed for that the end of the appears to lie the of happiness and br br there are other more minor possibilities which have not been that much by our audience like br br 3 and are alter of the same person 4 too is a of imagination 5 the old perhaps mad woman is the real protagonist of the story br br are these worthy of even being tested well your guess is as good as mine br br why 15 park contrary to the popular perception that she was thinking of the park in ny i believe that she got the name from the brand name of a semi popular bathing soap remember her stating jo profession as prime minister of which as you may be knowing is a popular used in the is used as it was on december that got engaged to and after his she remains forever in a time the film has its fair share of flaws lack of use of a strong background score which in films like these can really the narrative some sloppy dialogs by some forced dialog delivery inconsistent performances and are excellent though imo by a few of the cast members albeit many members of this ensemble cast have been wasted sudden about her husband seems to be an introduced dimension in the plot i give it 7 10 as it made me think but not any higher than that because i can easily its sources of inspiration and having experienced and for the most part thoroughly enjoyed those previously i have already thought on similar lines earlier so the experience post 15 is bound to be sans a certain degree of novelty where am i coming from i gave 9 5 10 to though rumors still that one ray ghost directed it 7 5 to 7 to and mrs and 5 to on an existential level it failed to my interest not even as much as say a,positive +yes this show had a lot of male frontal nudity and yes over the years the plot lines became over the top melodramatic and very unrealistic however it didn't matter because the show is great you really get involved in the characters and every character no matter how minor or major is perfectly cast br br i can't imagine anyone else except simmons play the neo nazi racist rapist leader nor anyone else playing except lee the transformation of his character from season 1 to season 2 is amazing however the character that made oz oz was chris played by christopher he didn't have relations with anyone else in prison except well except but that was only to get to stop playing around with lover boy their relationship and tom actually made us care about those two and want those two to be together br br i loved soft spot for his kids in the show and how made sympathetic characters out of all these criminals that we grew to adore even simon br br however some plot lines were totally unbelievable and unrealistic a guy building a bomb in oz guys standing in a spotlight in their windows in their looking at other men plotting something in their mind too over the top drugs getting in oz everyone in the group used or sold drugs and sister pete never helped anyone in six years people getting killed in the gym supply closet and kitchen no one hurting mom no one fighting outside the boxing ring except of course two inmates with tools being left alone in the elevator and one of them dying with no investigation karl guard gets killed and no one holds all his press at the prison all an needs to do is say i want to see glenn or i want to see and they are taken to them no questions asked people die every week in oz on the outside people kill someone and get 20 years up for in eight but if they kill someone on the inside they go to death row almost immediately there is no on site paid staff in the kitchen or mail room inmates run both no questions asked aging drugs for inmates to substitute as time served ryan has no friends or associates but he never gets hurt killed raped or beaten the guys never the when they go to the bathroom or throw up an comes to the prison to for an player yeah right br br however with all these flaws this show is still awesome it's gruesome brutal sexy edgy raw and innovative dean winters scott william winters simmons christopher adele the guy that played simon walker lee terry male alexander ll cool j etc etc etc all are awesome and made the show worth watching br br i highly recommend renting this on dvd season six comes out 9 next month first five seasons are on dvd watch them and then watch them again with audio commentary i loved the director's commentary with the sequence with andy running down the tables and then falling into the hole was an awesome top notch shot kudos and kathy bates directing family business and the famous wrestling scene between and simply amazing brilliant have to be so weird for to touch private part in front of an icon like kathy bates in that one scene wow pulled that off beautifully pun intended br br i'm waiting for oz the next generation like with star trek etc c'mon let's get it started,positive +the violent men is a good western perhaps the story is not an original one big ranch owner dedicated to run out small out of a valley he needs for his increasing cattle but the film has many ingredients that raises its level and makes it worth seeing br br the cast is a highlight there's the reliable glenn ford john as a former army officer and now one of the small who tries to stay out of troubles until he is pushed to hard edward robinson is as good as always as the crippled big man and barbara stanwyck martha plays his wife in one of her usual mean woman roles she deals with easily others were in double and blowing wild brian keith cole does it perfectly as brother an ambitious man trying to take over his brother's big ranch no matter what regular 50's westerns villain richard is there too and ends as usual no surprise there foster plays daughter who does not his father mother and way of handling things with their neighbors br br mate brings a standard but acceptable direction perhaps helped by beautiful and wide open scenery and a fine and appropriate music score helps too br br the inevitable final showdown between ford and keith is one of the best in western movies each man in his own style notice ford's shooting with his straight arm and aiming at its target in the military way settle their differences then and once and for all br br this is for sure one of glenn ford's best western appearances second only to the classic 3 10 to he made two years later it's probably the cast that puts the film as an a rate and as for me it enters the top 10 list of the genre,positive +is what you experience when you watch this flick and then believe you saw something worthwhile this flick which tells of a trio of semi psycho who are up to no good somewhere in the desert is amateurish and just plain stupid the film suffers from an awful story a lousy screenplay and some terrible direction just to mention a few of the if the flick has anything at all going for it it's b movie even performance don't waste your time on this turkey d,negative +predator island starts as six friends eric tom chris dan gordon along with heather grace kim baker denise melissa get invited to spend sometime on michael father's boat in the open sea what could go wrong with such a super sounding idea well for starters a big green could crash into the sea near your boat an alien life force could emerge from it try to kill all of you then again that's just a ridiculously stupid idea isn't it br br co edited written directed by steven castle i thought predator island was crap it's a simple straight forward as that really the script is of the worst kind you know the sort of abomination that's full of highly annoying teenage character's who do say the most stupid things it's full of clichés is utterly predictable it makes next to no sense things just suddenly happen without any build up or explanation it's boring even at only 70 odd minutes it has virtually no entertainment value whatsoever not even unintentional laugh value the film doesn't really have much of what i would call a plot there's no explanation given as to why or how this alien creature can take over people's minds or why it can be in the sense that one moment the person will be the next when the story calls for it with no apparent cause they suddenly get green glowing eyes a sudden urge to turn cannibal there's not enough horror in it the so called action scenes are pitiful i really don't want to waste another second thinking about predator island let alone wasting my precious energy these words br br director castle doesn't do anything to make this thing watchable the are absolutely terrible this alien creature dude wouldn't even get into a 50's sci fi film the filmmakers even play some footage over the end credits but this has to be the least funny collection of mistakes ever i mean they can't even get it wrong right if you know what i mean forget about any decent gore as there isn't any there's a bit of some intestines placed on the unfortunate actors stomach so another unfortunate actor can pick them up pretend to eat them br br with a supposed budget of about 150 000 i have to that the filmmakers were working on a seriously low budget that's still no excuse for making such a poor film the whole thing looks very cheap the acting is pretty bad br br predator island is crap i'm sorry but that's the way it is i just fail to see what anyone would get out of it in my humble opinion this probably one to avoid,negative +i have seen this movie several times it sure is one of the action flicks of the eighties so i think many viewers would definitely change the channel when they come across this one but if you are into great trash dragon hunt is made for you the main characters the twins are sporting great and look so ridiculous in their dresses one of the best scenes is when one of then gets shot in the leg and is still kicking his enemies into this movie is really awful but then again it is a great party tape,negative +if only he hadn't to cliché mr could have actually made a good film from this story it was just different enough to keep you interested so for the same amount of time energy and money as was spent on this stinker we might have had something good instead of eye rolling br br production wise it is as good as one could really expect from a hand held camcorder so he gets good marks there it's really the script that's at fault as the acting wasn't all that bad either considering what the actors had to work with br br i thought the days were long gone when we would see someone finding a radio they desperately wish to operate first turn every on the thing from end to end bash it on top 6 or 7 times and then expect it to work this story is ruined by a continuous string of stupid moves by all the characters except the bad guy it's as though we are thought to be too shallow to grasp all the plot devices so they are all fed to us to make sure we get them br br i don't know about you but that doesn't work on me my attention ends up being occupied by the plot holes and over not the story br br so since i found this to be not so bad in the technical sense i think mr should try again only with a proper script next time then he might give us something worth watching,negative +for me this is another one of those films that i got to see off of the los angeles based z channel when it was in service and it was another one of those movies that i saw when i was young and learned that there was a world out there one i did not want to accept br br moving to los angeles and getting to watch international cinema became quite the guilty pleasure of mine and to date no premiere channel programming has matched the z channel in its showing of international films the three international films that stuck in my young head were beau and of course this one br br this was the most shocking and saddest movie i ever witnessed in my life this was also one of the first movies that made me understand that there is a difference in cinema to entertain and to inform let me be honest growing up in a small town on the east coast i had no idea anything like this to this extent existed all i knew from south america was of fabulous and that columbia had a lot of drug br br then comes a film like sad disturbing scary you're watching children those that need shelter love understanding and all these get are a way to survive day after day through drugs sex robbing stealing sleeping on the streets and in sadistic group homes etc their survival is hard to watch with other street children prostitutes etc and you begin to wonder how can things like this be allowed to happen in this world br br is not a film for entertainment it is a film of information it shows shocking and disturbing images but it shows life for these daily street children,positive +oh boy it's another hitting the earth film coming within a year or two of deep impact space and various other stupid flicks with rap stars in them you'd think people would be burned out on this concept apparently not since i rented it hoping it might not be awful dennis hopper was in it after all and he's a good actor right br br i forgot something important along with peter o'toole robert de niro and quite a few other actors hopper has a for appearing in dreadful films not only that but he seems to prepare for them by taking forget how to act classes his performance in is so awful that you expect divine or edith massey to appear in some scenes br br i don't know what else to say about this rubbish other than if you're into things crashing into the earth films watch deep impact and then and space at a stretch forget the others altogether this one really is bottom of the pile,negative +from the perspective of the contemporary world in which we live the so called good old always seem so much more and innocent an era gone by of which we have only memories and shadows that on the silver screen as with christmas in ' a warm and endearing film directed by peter barbara stanwyck stars as elizabeth lane a popular martha type magazine who writes about life on her beloved farm in always with the latest recipe at the center of the story one of her biggest fans is alexander played by sidney the of the magazine for which she writes has never visited her farm and in response to an idea expressed to him in a letter from a nurse mary he decides to spend an old fashioned christmas with elizabeth her husband and child and as a special guest a certain mr jones dennis morgan a sailor just from spending fifteen days at sea on a raft after his ship was elizabeth of course cannot refuse her boss but there are problems not the least of which is the fact that she has no farm and writes her from the comfort of a high rise in the city it makes for a situation for her as well as her editor dudley robert as the one thing mr demands from his employees is total honesty what follows is a charming and delightfully romantic comedy that the audience back to a seemingly more simple time and place to share a christmas past where a warm good food and kindness br br barbara stanwyck absolutely as elizabeth with a smile and presence than anything the could provide and totally convincing as a city girl entirely out of her element on the farm morgan also well as the somewhat naive sailor whose trust in his fellow man is admirable even with the being played out around him he's the kind of guy you know will somehow land on his feet and in the end it's elizabeth you really feel for one of the true of this film however is sidney his has a gruff exterior but beneath you know without a doubt that this is a man with a heart as big as texas it's a straightforward honest portrayal and it's a joy to watch him work the most memorable scenes in the movie belong to him br br the supporting cast includes john the terrific frank and dick elliott judge a feel good movie that plays especially well during the christmas season though it would work any time of the year christmas in is a memorable film that never takes itself too seriously is thoroughly uplifting and will leave you with a warm spot in your heart and a sense of peace that makes the world seem like a good place to be it's a true classic and one you do not want to miss i rate this one 10 10 br br,positive +arthur miller certainly knows his stories give a picture of what it means to live in the united states in the 20th century than any other writer i can think of br br focus based on one of his novels is no exception br br william h macy and laura dern give fantastic performances here emotionally but ultimately rewarding this movie is excellent,positive +or is this another way below the bottom of the barrel masterpiece preferably both somewhere between 1969 and 1972 came a host of several horrible horror movies that are all but lost again nothing more needs to be explained asked or screamed out loud if you followed closely at my about carnival of blood or guru the mad monk then you know what's in store with scream baby scream the title sounds cool it's just the weak script that should have gone else even so this is hands down the most dreadfully written piece of cinematic ever worked on film br br if you thought this is an early slasher which benefits the average imdb user to write up another comment better luck next time the real truth behind the script has nothing to do with the movie which supposedly tells of a blue faced psychopath out to kill and make some ugly facial on his victims it feels like you're watching another early scooby doo episode my favorite scene is the monkey cage where the four young hippie teenagers play in and for an actress under the name for giving us the worst facial ever 1969 has never been this bad but it is br br try finding this 30 year old at a bargain basement for five bucks it makes the perfect novelty item for going back to those psychedelic days of flower power bad fashions and trashy music interesting note scream baby scream is also listed in film on the website only time will tell when this reaches the top of the bottom 100 list along with a few more early 70s gosh knows they need to plan 9 is history,negative +i love ghost stories and i will sit through a movie it's end even if i'm not really enjoying it i rarely feel like i wasted my time but this adaptation of the bell witch story was horrible br br it wasn't scary in the least bit what is with the comic relief moments the dialog was tedious acting inconsistent the movie was way too long and some scenes were unnecessarily drawn out in my open like the birthday party br br the only good think i can think about mentioning is the costumes and props were well done br br i am curious about other adaptation but until then i will stick to reading about the story,negative +abysmal pulp adventure exploitation in the jungle woman genre lousy audio thankfully the dumb dialog and it's awfully talky for a movie about people who don't speak english there's no adventure to be found here it's a jungle adventure with and one wild animal attack that happens in flashback br br three pale face wander the african wilderness and encounter man hungry of these wild women have advanced out of the stone age only so far as to makeup shoes and hair technology despite their desperation for the ladies insist that they will fight the men and burn the weaker ones br br the only thing of interest as if there were any question is the assortment of young women clad in animal cleverly designed like the bathing suits of 1951 plenty of wrestling and bad dancing mixed with 1950s stripper moves no nudity or violence on the other hand you may be the catchy native song for days,negative +in hoot fingers is engaging in to stop the house the problem is that the just start over again and he has to take more when he is confronted with the dogs he scares them off with snakes not before he is bitten by a dog and has to go to hospital br br roy at asks his father who works with the department of justice how he deals with crooks his father says it involves the tedious steps of looking through papers because sooner or later they all slip up you can see this with and roy looks at documents relating to the house and finds a document he does have to break in to the company trailer so when the police see it he has the law on his side unlike when he the police br br mind you as mentioned before roy is not always law and when the company man is killing fingers takes direct action he can't wait for the law fingers is in hiding the movie does suggest that one should work in the system,positive +gordon scott made some good tarzan movies but this is not one of them br br as i watched it at the bad obviously interior sets and the hollow wooden sounds as they walked across supposedly dirt and cringing at the bad dialog and worse acting among the supporting cast i kept thinking this is tv show level then i find out it was indeed three tv show pilot episodes woven fully into one br br it's nice to see scott get outside alone away from the lame sets in a few of the scenes and the fights do have some pretty nice moves but oh and as to the dialog and did i mention the acting heck or in this version was a better actor than most of the humans br br and that's not saying much br br it is kind of a to see a younger i e acting as a native but probably not worth the overall time investment,negative +spoilers br br i hate this one but it is better than the others after this they just keep getting worse i hope gibson has the to stay out of the next one a lot of the same with humor ie the toilet kids etc how much can we watch their relationship drugs bad guys why south africa i found that unbelievable maybe south american some country in the golden triangle would have made the script better it seems the late early 90's had the blond bad guys ie die hard the mighty play ice land gary busey in the last weapon etc hollywood repeats itself over this one with a similar story has to go over the top the attacking the police the beach scene and the fight at the end and way over the top girlfriend killed by the attack were too much like many part they get worse and 3 or 4 in this series picks up speed downhill 3 10,negative +i had the pleasure to view this film when i was 10 years old having an existing interest in i know that there are subtle mistakes to the art direction and but over all this is the best film to date with the look of the 18th br br the film only the egyptian in plot a good portion of the text never made it to film as we have to consider the running length br br the music score by b and alfred newman is beautiful performances as follows the late gave an excellent performance as an child adopted by parents past their child bearing years he states that he keeps to himself has the best education available and face it is a rather emotionally distant person given his upbringing and high intellect br br jean simmons is fine as a humble maid honest loving and sincere people complained about her accent well she is a it is not that apparent in the film as to why is so insanely obsessed with her correct name in the book is enjoying her and gets his revenge early in the plot by leaving drugged body with the house of the workers br br gene tierney as is brilliant when she tells that he is she looks like she could him in his weakness she is intense brilliant and beautiful br br michael is tragic in his mission to bring all people to know his one god i believe that we are viewing thru the lens of a a view at the time that had a pre feeling about did his influence the jewish people note and other imagery in the br br mr peter ustinov provided the alter ego to he is street wise and cunning a survivor excellent acting as always br br mature never thought much of his acting personally his is fine as an ambitious super who ultimately has murder more than one person in his quest for power book br br i felt that the ending to the egyptian was confusing as personality changes too easily he has a living son dies in the novel power is handed to him through is half sister he world now and has a grip on international affairs so he became he could have the as he was capable br br but no gives everything up everything including his son's future to become a preaching love br br this change was too immediate and the major flaw in the script br br again the look of the film colour most of the costumes gold dress was too over the top as she is more richly dressed than the royal family music is beautiful br br i will watch this film again easily br br p s i know that you know that did not directly but i could not resist stating this fact,positive +i loved this movie when i was a teenager loved it it hasn't grown up with me though maybe that's because it's a melodramatic load of old rubbish full of macho cheesy dialogue overwrought mo and characters saying a lot the narrative from one character to another one plot to another without ever bringing it all together and it doesn't help that william expression of a performance is wet enough to put out every fire in the movie's overlong runtime robert deniro and donald sutherland are worth watching but no one's really at the top of their game here and the women folk get particularly short the only real impact comes from the impressive sequences and hans score which remains one of my all time favourites,negative +i haven't seen a lot of episodes of family guy and it's a pretty safe bet that i won't be seeing too many in the future some people say to compare this show to the simpsons is unfair i absolutely think this show wouldn't exist if the simpsons hadn't come first and i absolutely think it wants so very much to be the simpsons i don't understand what's so funny about this show in the episodes that i've watched i've understood where they've wanted me to laugh i understand that someone thinks a joke was just told but the joke isn't funny i find the whole show to be lazy the title the jokes there is a complete lack of inspiration throughout br br the best shows on television cartoon or not are created like this a script is written it goes through several stuff that doesn't work is taken out inspiration is good stuff is added there are more and then it is filmed br br i picture a family guy episode to be created like this a script is written and it's filmed,negative +if you repeat a lie enough number of times will it become the truth 15 park is the story of an alternative reality of a the movie is about her search for her home at a address where her imaginary husband and 5 children live delivers yet another masterpiece each and every actor of the movie was better than the other looks unbelievably convincing as a she pulls off the role with such ease and maturity beyond her age is incredible as usual she plays the and independent elder sister of who takes care of her sister and aging mother she refuses to accept that in spite of all her strength and courage she still feels lonely at times this should have been a very easy movie for the role was least bit demanding and anyone could have done the role br br the ending of the movie was the most surreal part of the whole park experience it took me a while to that the movie had ended it left me confused and maybe even a bit disturbed but later on it started sinking in my eyes are black but if everyone says they are blue will i still believe that its black,positive +i could crap a better movie this is a waste of time and money it makes me sick that movies like these are actually getting made and the people making them actually think they're good i happen to like teen comedies when they're done well this movie however takes this genre to a new low with movies like this people think it's actually okay to make this filth and ask unsuspecting people to pay money to sit through it it's,negative +radio is one of my most loved american movies br br the really great job of two boys joe and wood in spite of terrible performance of t hanks at the beginning and ending with marvellous script of d m evans and powerful and emotional directing of r plus absolutely incredibly music score of h allowed the radio to win one of the first places in my family's rating of movies br br it's so pity that that very good movie was by some movie critics br br i just can't help waiting to see it on dvd,positive +the debut that from obscurity one of the stars of contemporary noir is an assured if limited stab at the con game and obsession filmed for zero money nolan couldn't have chosen a better subject than the drab and of london to his trade given the lack of this short min is at its best in playing with the audience's and expectations about who is whom though the initial set up does ring some alarm in the credibility the cinematography he often used natural lighting due to budget can be mostly up to noir though the limitations do show at times br br one can easily see style developing in this effort many of the same themes of identity and expectation in and insomnia not a masterpiece but good and certainly worth a look for modern noir and nolan fans,positive +br br i first viewed this film shortly after it was put out on video in 1995 i it saying that julie was no daniel never really giving it a chance and saying it was horrid br br but here it is 5 years later its on disney and im watching it again and i'm finding that it as bad as i made it out to be is still just as as ever the musical score is still there pleasant as ever and character that bad her acting is pretty good considering the script it beats the third installment by a wide so my original rating of 4 has been raised to 7,positive +i just love this show it's so funny and cool is such a hilarious and interesting character i love him he's the thing that makes this show what it is although and are so funny and charming too everything about this show is great for me because it always manages to make me laugh no matter if it's only once an episode it's just so funny and all the characters are so lovable and cool it makes the show worth the time to watch unlike some crap on disney channel give this show a try next time it's on if you've seen the movie and even if you haven't seen the movie you'll find this to be very enjoyable anyway so go ahead,positive +i think the romance of this movie helps couples develop a deeper appreciation for each other although i saw one goof in the early part of the movie it was fairly well done the plot can make you cry if you think about the situation enough i loved it watched it twice already and highly recommend it,positive +combines glossy film effects with a story that leaves much to be desired with a script that the screen writers for touched by an angel might have passed up as being too still keeps us interested at times in fact i wanted to focus on the but i found the last act so bizarre and awful that i think the couple who jumped to their deaths in the very beginning might have been the fortunate ones br br this movie is at heart pun intended a story built on a big twist style ending this kind of foundation can result in a tremendous success like or god awful garbage like the films of m night falls somewhat closer to the latter i found the cinematography in general to be above average the tracking shots of irene doing her in the pool were very impressive as was the atmosphere by the interior of her mother's house for me the grotesque parody of when comes in from the rain and irene poses with him was a bit of a stretch one big issue that i took exception to in this film was method of simply turning the camera directly into the face of his protagonist and recording the emotions taking place this worked to fantastic effect in facing windows but when employed here it seems that is no in fact besides the ridiculous story the main problem with this film is the performance of it's main character it made the final breakdown scene even more bad br br in this movie continues his against our corporate driven societies by us to be more spiritual not necessarily religious and more and while i'm certainly one who is very sympathetic to this view i felt as if the audience was being hit over the head with a blunt object could the characters have been anymore two dimensional i tended to find this movie very and soulless was the evil aunt anything more than a caricature it goes for the people on the side of right too like the good aunt maria clara and the elderly and just in case we might have missed point he decided to his forces in their own br br this brings me to an interesting point about the director's use of color he clothes the opening couple who briefly take flight in all black as well as irene when we first meet her and after her life the evil aunt and of course the good but confused black is a color that suggests a definite course the mind is set and it is the color of choice for that item of modern day armor the business suit it is also the color of mourning such as the by the duo finally black is the color of such as the simple of priests and nuns that irene in the second half of the film br br the other main color and a very appropriate choice for a movie about the sacred heart is red it is a color that has an extreme inherent emotional the character who wears red is bold emotional to new ideas and indulgent red is a color in modern times it challenges our of the and at the same time makes the vulnerable yet red carries an enormous weight of history and as the earliest members of man buried their dead in red and indeed the first man named in the adam is named after the word for red red also has an flavor looking back on the past where red and by association a less self driven attitude towards life was more accepted so when we encounter the red filled room the mysterious covered walls complete with a red and a red painting of a of mother good characters maria clara and wearing outfits of red and finally the painting of mother in a red we can see where lie br br a word or two about the soundtrack i found the original musical themes to be excellently suited to the story the quasi theme that irene was great for it's and feeling of the absolute best use of a constantly repeated theme such a this would have to be in kubrick's barry with it's masterful of an 8 bar attributed to one absolutely inspired choice was a couple of seconds of an opera we hear as the power is while irene is chasing benny through the house it is of the famous from opera la the is sung by the lead soprano who is leaving home forever as mother was a dramatic soprano we can guess that this is a recording of her singing and that she is saying a poignant farewell to her daughter as in the movie irene is soon destined to never again see benny alive i just have one minor question of the soundtrack why include the famous tango maria i love the song and personally could hear it all the time but it didn't really fit here,negative +this short is one of the best of all time and is proof just like most of charlie work that sound and color are not for quality work in fact this cartoon uses and may have started some of the gags and devices that became standard in animation in later years like caricatures of celebrities including the mentioned chaplin while the characters are silent they do speak by use of word just like in the comics given that felix started out in as a comic strip this device is a natural the atmosphere and style of the short is completely with that of the comic strip while adding another dimension literally and and makes this short a delight to watch well worth taking the time and effort to get most highly recommended,positive +i was 12 years old when i saw the original film i lived in italy and the italian title was fbi operation cat that was a fun film and not just for kids this awful remake it's pathetic even for a 5 year old what possessed disney to ruin their reputation and the memory of a lovely film i don't know and i just can't believe it even the title song in the original film both original version and the dubbed italian version was extremely nice and creating the mood for the story on this remake the title song is even worst than the movie itself it was just nice to see dean jones even if for just a cameo appearance he was a regular on the great old disney's films i cannot honestly see anything else positive in this remade movie,negative +i really liked this movie number 5 the star robot of the movie gets hit by lightning and some thing happened to his he act and thinks more like a human the robot repeats commercials he learns after watching tv he then applies these to his circumstances number 5 is quick witted and funny the character voices of stars tries to dance like john travolta in staying alive and a lot of other things he has a saying for most of his circumstances that he the actions of the robots is really good number 5 wants to drive cook and please with all the characteristics of a human the way the robots move and line up is really hysterical i am disappointed that the writers could not keep this clean for all viewers this movie has a ending something you would not expect i hate movies that have swearing in them even though i like them i give them a lower rating this movie had swearing words jesus christ was used as swearing word which me it is used a least 3 times g d d m bull sh t etc it could have been a wonderful movie with out all this offensive language there is no sex in this film some violence like robots blowing up cars and machines,negative +blade is probably one of the best vampire action movies ever made it has it all action horror blood this movie is for action fans it's either you like it a lot either you hate it and if you hate it it means you don't like action or vampires movies wesley snipes takes his role seriously and he his the perfect guy for blade,positive +i'll bet i watch this film 4 or 5 times a year and will do so more often now that the have seen fit to put it on dvd because it's a classic with a capital c this film is timeless how can people pay 10 00 nowadays to see the junk that comes out of with movies like the egyptian the ten ben captain newman on tape dvd and cable movie channels i could go on forever but this film is so great and for a relative unknown edmund carries the movie like carried the world the story is wonderful the acting is first rate and the graphics at the end are so powerful you sit in your seat for a few minutes just trying to let the words sink in really a of a film i'd give this one 15 stars if they'd let me they don't make them like this anymore but they should,positive +what could have been some creepy stuff ends up being an incomprehensible nutty motion picture that even the filmmakers themselves probably didn't understand had they shown more of the satanic ritual or whatever it might have been but as it stands now this is a waste of time and brain cells is anybody else getting sick of the whole little kid drawing creepy pictures with thing could there possibly be a bigger horror cliché probably not i know i know it's from some different country and it's far too and sophisticated for me to understand so i shouldn't expect the plot to be fed to me blah blah blah whatever i still say the movie blows,negative +the movie starts off relatively well and seems to be getting somewhere when an african american passenger an for there is one scene in which his pet dog gets sucked into the engine and thats really a sad thing but the way it is portrayed makes it difficult for one to figure out if that was an attempt at crude humor or really a tragedy to reflect on the extent of after this point they clearly ran out of ideas if you stuck around long enough you will soon be treated with one of the worst movies ever made it is basically a highly racist sequence of smoking toilet humor of each and every segment of the aircraft to reflect african american pop culture and pretty much nothing else you'd think that the only 3 white passengers would lead to some hilarious consequences but nothing of the same happens they were basically just added to show how badly they could initially be treated and later be accepted into the hood if they avoid,negative +i know these types of films sell tickets and make a profit for the film makers but it just won't do as a film about vietnam was filled with horrors for the men who lived it day in and day out br br this film stars gene hackman who is korean war vet assigned to train a group of tag vets for a return trip to that country to rescue a group of american held at a camp there these men include a former tunnel rat a crazy acid dropping sailor a blond from california and some inexperienced kid patrick who just so happens had a dad that was killed in they train first at some camp in texas and once in they are found out and lose all their weapons they are able to find replacement weapons and continue on their way to free the captured men most of the men are found and saved but the tag group is mostly wiped out br br this movie played like a video game in which you could figure out what was going to happen next and who would pop out of behind what bush and who was going to die and who was going to live i'm guessing was not like a video game,negative +plot synopsis los angeles in the future crime is kept

typically start with a major action sequence which lasts about 10 minutes before allowing the plot to kick in the script for this film has a few plot holes – it is never clear what the conspiracy the heroes are trying to stop actually is as for the acting don the dragon wilson may be tough but cannot act for with little charisma his co stars are a lot better the film's best bet are the action scenes which throw up some impressive fire a huge not one but three moments where a vehicle flies through the air hits the ground exploding the visual effects border on the cheap side the musical score is low key shrill,negative +it's difficult to criticize a movie with the title like the bed that and involves a ghost narrator who's trapped behind a 2 way painting he drew and a bed that and – if i'm not mistaken now that's getting back at its human companions furthermore it up in orange for whatever reason to lying on its surface including wine fried chicken and of course people again it's suffice to say that don't expect too much when you see what i guess is stomach acid – the final remains of anything that orange takes – only certain things it'll drink the wine but the okay and it'll eat away at the chicken bone but the just fine heck the bed even the hilariously at one point it downs i had to laugh at that one i don't think they really wanted you to take any of this seriously it's low budget and it's extremely easy to see where they cut costs and saved amounts of money i thought in a world where there can be a killer and a beach ' this might be amusing to watch for reasons that might involve cost 90 of the film is voice over no one screams or shows extremely low signs of fright confusion on why a bed would attack i can think of one – and i never was one of those kids that jumped on the bed and you'll have to suspend your disbelief beyond belief a victim loses all flesh on his hands barely saying only one scene that went on too long was tense – a woman attempts to crawl away only to be dragged back using a sheet where are the mst3k guys,negative +i was one of the many fools who were out into paying for this at the theater even though i 4 bucks for before br br the story was ho hum the cgi were lame the were to today's no i did not think the chick was hot at all the re killing of the hero's modern girlfriend was somewhat cruel overall just a sad bad remake br br i'll take rod taylor and the fat glowing eyed over this junk any time my is that many of the reviewers who like this awful remake are young kids which does not account for either good taste or a true value of the old classics which are largely by today's confused and ever wanting more youth br br when the 60s version came out i first saw it in the 70s for summer fun it was pretty damn impressive and still holds up you don't have to have an over abundance of cgi in a movie for it to be better too much of this looks fake i can't say enough of how bad the looked and they ran and jumped around like they were in a child's video game 3 stars out of 10,negative +the stars carol of the e that usually appeared at the end of her first name lombard as a woman thrown out of society because she left her husband for a concert drew who has since become a down and out alcoholic and torn between her love for him and the interest of new york crime robert armstrong top billed it's virtually a of what was wrong with the earliest stiff direction cameras acting and ridiculously slow paced delivery of lines at the time the sound were telling the directors to have their actors speak every line s l o w l y and not to start speaking their own line until after the previous actor had finished theirs done about five years later this could have been an interesting movie but director howard follows his sound and the talents we know lombard and armstrong had from watching their later movies the was made in a year that despite the transition problems from silent to sound nonetheless gave us some legitimate masterpieces — applause heroes ladies of — all from directors with strong enough to tell the to get stuffed and let their actors talk and act too bad howard wasn't that strong as it is watching a naturally rapid paced actor like armstrong through the part in the ridiculous way he's been told to speak one can't help but wonder where that 50 foot gorilla is when armstrong needs him,negative +john is a great comedian and every time this has been on hbo i've had to stop and watch it john tells the story of how he grew up probably some fact and fiction and adds hilarious stories in the midst if you like john's comedy i would have to say this is probably his comedy at his best,positive +this exploration of a unique decade in us cinema begins with the fall of one out of touch empire and with the rise of another equally associated with and box office meet the new boss same as the old boss or as peter fonda observed in easy rider we blew it in between from bonnie and clyde to star wars the young some under the of roger corman were under the to produce some of the greatest of the 20th century while the story is already familiar from peter easy riders raging directors and are less concerned with than in providing a platform for the filmmakers and stars themselves br br everyone from martin scorsese to francis ford coppola and julie christie is interviewed and a of well edited clips places the decade in a cultural and economic context if their are self to say the least they're also highly funny and revealing making this something of a wet dream director william reveals how the original the exorcist poster was to feature a little girl's hand holding a and the legend god's sake help her before he complained former warner bros ' head john recalls that when he first saw robert de niro in mean streets he assumed scorsese had a day release for the shoot br br happily a certain amount of hard perspective has into the mix as might be hoped from a politically motivated consciousness expanded generation hopper there's a lot of real crap in there too julie christie that 1970s us cinema was not a good time for women but if responds with a of to women's movies brief clips of alice doesn't live here anymore they shoot horses don't they and we're soon dragged back to the usual male wall br br the shift from tough socially conscious film making to no risk crowd like jaws for weary fantasy audiences is also documented though a little rushed but kudos too for the inclusion of lesser sung but equally relevant films like panic in park and joe we weren't handsome bruce dern on his but we were f interesting,positive +would someone explain to me when the learned to speak this was a horrible film i loved and 2 but what's this unless you want to kill yourself please stay away from 3 on a scale of 1 to 10 3 gets a 1,negative +this is the best french movie of the year i saw it twice and i found it great both times i didn't think it boring at all even though it is very long 3 hours i'm so i obviously didn't get to live the events of may 1968 that marked an extremely important turn in french history but it doesn't really matter since i still really enjoyed the film it's actually quite universal people of my parents' age can identify to the characters and so can people my age seems to perfectly understand young people the way they think and the complications of love as well as the loss of concerning the possibility of changing the world maybe that's because the character played by louis his son is actually meant to represent himself well anyway great movie no action have to be honest on that point but so strong feelings that you can't possibly stay indifferent to it if you're looking for a relaxing sunday evening movie don't waste your time on this you'll be disappointed but if you like cinema you'll like les which is a movie close to those made in the 50's and 60's by the vague artists,positive +there i was on vacation when my host suggested we take in this b movie festival in i was as i hadn't gone on the trip to sit in a movie theater but i've got to admit that i don't regret a second of this one especially with stephen contribution it probably helped that i had no idea what to expect br br sea of dust starts out like a typical costume drama we've got a young medical student going to help a doctor whose town is being destroyed by a crazy plague which somehow involves exploding heads on the way he stops to visit his fiancé and gets thrown off the property by her father traveling on he finds a girl lying on the road another plague victim and takes her along to the doctor's yawn i thought it all seemed pretty br br and then everything went crazy and it suddenly turned into a completely different film tom shows up looking like dracula characters begin traveling to the other side of reality and the dialog gets increasingly humorous br br and just when i thought it had settled into a groove the picture changes again becoming really dark and bizarre i won't spoil it for first time viewers but there's an amazing sequence about hollow people lots of chat about the abuse of religion by society and some over the top gore effects and did i mention stephen this isn't a perfect movie in case you haven't figured that out from its appearance at a b movie festival but it's well worth the time for adventurous viewers great visuals cool soundtrack lots of interesting ideas the acting is a little zany at times but i think that's the point br br funny i had to go to to see find an american picture that looked like a british horror movie you figure that one out,positive +wow this film was terrible it is as simple as that it is actually the first time that i walked out early as far as i can remember this turned out okay though i had a very nice chat with two most charming girls while we all waited for the rest to finally give up on that crap they called a movie br br where to start bad acting bad jokes humour which i simply cannot stand sorry but pee and are not funny you have seen the title picture that scene actually drags on for about 5 minutes with the two heroes hitting and each other which is supposed to be humorous all by itself it is not br br apart from body violence and cross dressing i do not remember much about this at least not much good i was really really disappointed by this piece of garbage or let us be honest here given that i am actually a big fan of british i e black humour i was angry br br so want my advice three words do not watch,negative +i was delighted to see this gem of a film available on dvd despite being a and shot on it provided a wonderful insight into the different types of people who wanted to become a along with their and family even the most hapless of candidates with his wife it was possible to see how jack was able to craft an often funny and sometimes tragic of london life into an entertaining 90 minutes br br originally premiered as a vehicle for mick ford pun intended the quality of the acting from an ensemble cast including michael jonathan joseph and maureen mrs meant mick may have had top billing but he had to work hard in the face of such competing talents br br even 15 years after its 1991 release it is still as fresh as ever,positive +michelle pfeiffer is cast as the frustrated mob widow in this colourful black comedy matthew plays a clumsy fbi agent who has taken a fancy to her dean steals the show as the big shot who keeps on pfeiffer is dynamic as his jealous wife it's all very eighties but that just adds to the fun a nice little flick though not for every taste,positive +so this starts with at least an interesting and promising basic idea goes on and on with tension carey in a good role but in a less than you expected performance weak direction from joel match with some plot holes the detective scenes show us the luck of creativity if you don't have great expectations because of the negative reviews maybe you will enjoy this at the end they offer to us a lesson about morality for those who remember falling down and the family joy and cure that ruins every possibility to be kind and find the film watchable p s it's obvious who is the killer i wonder why w carey didn't resolve the mystery from the beginning of the film,negative +final fantasy children is and will remain a classic example of style over substance gone wrong instead of drawing upon the memorable characters and captivating mythology of the original game square has out a montage of incomprehensible battle scenes yes i said incomprehensible did you know that knows fast kung fu techniques that magically cause the camera angle to shift every second that cloud can effortlessly suspend himself in for a full minute while wildly swinging away with his 2 ton sword the english dub is mediocre while not bad it is far from well produced the quality is comparable to that of an average anime dub br br here is what i'd like to say to the die hard fans who can't stop over this movie children is the best fan service you could have hoped for from square but even a trashy cg flick like had a better story you'll be embarrassed by this movie and its lack of thought in due time the days of its novelty are br br movies like children make me question whether square the potential of its after all and no offense it's a japanese company japanese can deliver fun games but most of their offerings are shallow they are utter however when it comes to production quality children features some of the most breathtaking in cg history but that doesn't save it from its convoluted plot and cardboard characters br br any fan who followed this film knows comes back the story to his was a big mistake br br note the one point i give this film is in honor of the 10 000 japanese animators who gave their lives to render each blond hair on head,negative +it's not fair i was really expecting this to be a hilarious entertaining movie i mean i like drake bell from drake and josh and leslie is nothing to be at since his earliest classics airplane and the naked gun however after seeing superhero movie i'm glad i didn't even have to pay for it it just wouldn't have been anywhere near the 9 per ticket more like a dollar and a few because that would sum up for the hour and a few minutes and as disappointing as this film was i'm glad the running time was that short if not shorter i just cant believe how incredibly vulgar unnecessary and above all stupid some of the scenes were and above that i've seen better acting from a wooden without the it's as if craig wanted to make a film that deserves its 3 7 if not lower and even try to be worse than meet the very disappointing indeed,negative +i saw the movie at the film festival on may 1 2003 it was amazing all the things that i had read about were portrayed incredibly well by tony writer director producer editor michael incredible job as and all the others involved in this i'm glad he didn't go down the leaving las vegas routine with bad but instead put us inside his life family and his gift the whole story from the motel room where he died was a great vehicle and showed his skill a big thumbs up on this one,positive +this is by far the best movie i've seen in a long while it is a wholly original and beautiful plot it is not boring nor is it too dramatic the characters are and realistic but it does not take away from the story line the fact that is not in english is most likely the final touch the end leaves you in a way i've never experienced in a movie before br br i wish i had found this movie earlier br br more lines br br more lines br br more lines a lot more lines c'mon i'm done,positive +is where the sequel mediocrity of the series well and truly sets in gone is the imagination and invention of the first two movies gone is the of and his gone are the sick desires of humans in fact everything that once made so original has been by this mess of a picture br br all that is left is that basic premise of christian mythology that there is a hell with evil demons what happened to the evil that men do this watered down excuse for a movie is padded out with endless psycho so that becomes a nonsense and not the of doom as he is meant to be br br the film uses the most basic of film with characters and getting killed is not alien the link between the box and the or is never established it just arrives at a sacrifice and sits on a br br the lead female character is called and the producers obviously think it really funny because everyone keep saying her name really the film should have been to give it that characters name br br shame on you kevin and alan,negative +we also found this movie on the rack and made the mistake of it because sandra was featured on the cover the cinematography was terrible and the back of the dvd box told more about the plot than the movie itself oh and i love the not br br,negative +a young girl becomes a war time pen pal and when he visits at end expecting someone a bit more available comic complications ensue all ultimately works out well naturally but not before everyone involved has thoroughly the scenery errol dead on impression of bogart from casablanca is a highlight as are various send ups of his own image the jumping scene in the kitchen with forrest tucker is a riot it is tucker though who the movie under his arm his head and over the goal line he demonstrates the comic flair more fully developed twenty years later in f and a and energy that flynn repeatedly plays off to raise his own performance parker does a fine job as the woman being pursued and little brady charms as actual pen pal friend a fine lightweight coming home comedy in a setting that children and of all ages should find entertaining,positive +i'm probably one of the few people who defend and even enjoy the project that put todd on the map if that is indeed where he is i appreciated that someone had the guts to take on dennis cooper and not back away from the material fairly rolls around in it judging from what he's done since then he's well suited for that type of material and should probably stick to it a would be teen coming out film is so misguided in so many ways it becomes unintentional comedy and i'm disappointed i have to report that br br first off our hero the high school senior joe is far too old in appearance to be playing 18 when we later meet a man who is supposed to be teacher it's confusing as the faced guy looks much younger than the student he's teaching mother looks younger than he does and doesn't act any older either second in opening scenes he looked like he was either playing or actually experiencing mental challenges to his credit he got better as the film went on and i figured out he was playing young but it just wasn't working it was weird br br it's 15 minutes in before anything is revealed about who what and where these people are and why we should care the second scene in the film is an extended bit of business in a men's toilet room that considering where the story goes later is absolutely superfluous the subplot with the teacher goes nowhere at all even as a of passage for our young hero one minute joe is trying his hand at bathroom sex a scene so un erotic it makes you truly wonder what anyone sees in the practice the next minute he's an expert at sexual blackmail and violent double crossing this is followed by an extended scene with the character we'll later learn is andrew and that's about all we learn about him other than he's apparently gay but not out yet br br there's a lot in to the 1 running time which is about 20 minutes too long i can't imagine how it played with the mind numbingly long and pointless deleted scenes of joe walking around a sub plot from gods and monsters with an aged who of nothing played by an actor who obviously can't remember his lines he is conveniently with in a way dickens might have come up with on a slow week a mix n match almost four way between the boys and their girlfriends a gay bashing toilet tramp a would be wise in the form of a queen and hasn't the queen suddenly taken over the role of the hooker with the heart of gold as most tired type who exists only to be blackmail murder alcohol and abuse of music for soundtrack recording br br what you will not find in this movie are any interior establishing master shots we're expected to imagine we're in an airport store office and as all the scenes in these locations consist of close ups and poorly edited to convey the idea of locales that the production must not have been able to afford one thing they were able to get appears to have been an actual gay bar either it's the worst bar in the world or there are only about 5 gay men in as the bar never has any in it another good chuckle came when the actors were supposed to be yelling over dance music that very obviously wasn't coming from the but was just more of the loop music of the score br br plots and characters come and go emotions are and the dialog clearly inspired by dennis cooper is film speak meaning no humans actually talk this way since we aren't given any information about these characters it's impossible to care about what happens to them it's as if joe et al appear out of the one day and might simply to exist once the credits roll certainly the character of sister a jennifer grey who is crazy seems to just simply stop we never know where she is in la or what her problem is but again does it matter visually the film looks very good at times more a testament to new developments in hi video than anything i suspect the editing is pretty clunky though there was one great edit joe is posing naked and says i wanted to play sports but and we cut to a shot revealing his butt ha ha composition is also odd at times i thought i was watching parody of persona when the boys were talking together in bed and visually it looked as if their were stuck together for the whole scene br br one senses is really himself from making a or somewhat movie like he usually does and maybe he shouldn't have held back the sex fantasy worked nicely i thought though the tone was out of touch with the rest of the movie he produces and directs this sensitive coming of age story much like gordon lewis directed films without gore porn films without sex in them i got some laughs out of this and it wasn't boring it just wasn't very good either,negative +this is the last episode of the series finds himself working in an animation studio which is rather interesting if you don't know anything about the way anime studios were run besides episode 3 this was probably the least but it had a nice girl interest as well as a surprise reunion from others in the previous episodes my only complaint about this episode is it seemed a little too short but at the same time this may have only been because it was the only original script for the show that wasn't based on one of the manga chapters but it ended well leaving us with the nice feeling that is 25 studying on definitely watch the rest of the series all the way through you can buy the whole series for like 17 you can watch it all the way through in about 2 1 2 hours or watch your favorite episode if you have 20 minutes free time which i do if i have a lunch break at school good series check it out,positive +the beginning might be a spoiler br br the eye 2 is the sequel to the eye it's about a pregnant woman who is able to see ghosts and spirits after an incident happened to her br br the sound effects scared the hell out of me though but that's the only scary thing some of the scenes from the prequel are similar and repeated so the chilling effects certainly have br br the eye has quite a frightening and impression whereas the eye 2 is a forgettable horror drama film watching this watching the eye is good enough,negative +legendary hammy and arrogant horror movie star conrad played with wicked by dies of a heart attack a bunch of drama school students steal corpse from its crypt and take it to a mansion so they can party with it comes back to life and picks off the rude for his grave writer director norman a fresh original and even pretty stylish spin on the usual body

rolls right down the stairs and onto the lawn so a can peck away at it and another poor being crushed with a coffin rating as the definite gruesome highlights kudos are also in order for the stellar cast of familiar b flick faces has a deliciously eye rolling ball with his flashy role leon contributes an amusing cameo as bitter washed up director adds some class as psychic medium mrs rohmer plus there are nice turns by as jerky drama student saint jennifer as the sweet meg jeffrey combs as the geeky and scott as the nerdy popping up in cool bits are chuck mitchell as a detective patrick wright in one of his policeman parts and as a corpse joel king's polished cinematography gives the film an attractive glossy look the moody score by jerry likewise hits the spot a fun little fright flick,positive +my 15 year old daughter asked me to watch this movie with her on cable tv as someone who saw revenge of the in a movie theater i found this movie to be an extremely predictable remake of it the were simply replaced by i drove her crazy by being able to predict precisely what would happen in each scene the cast was cute especially amanda br br screenwriter should be ashamed for writing such an obvious remake of an early 1980's flick the title should have simply been revenge of the perhaps the sequel will be revenge of the 2,negative +a attempt to push to the film going non

it first appeared has recently done the rounds of uk tv i remember seeing it on its original release and thinking then that if hitchcock wanted to parade some kind of screen confession about his he couldn't have found a little vehicle to do so br br but time perspective and so what was bad in 1972 might all these years later be worthy of re br br might but not is the of an director who desperately wanted to exploit the artistic freedom of 70s movie making without seeming to realise that freedom its own notably the need to bring integrity to one's work br br there's none here and not much evidence of the earlier directorial brilliance either the switch from spine to explicit is neither shocking nor for a supreme stylish it's just banal the prolonged murder scene is precisely that prolonged without pace without reason without purpose other than the of directorial desires to appear as contemporary an as say that other acclaimed of cheap sleaze michael winner br br and it goes from bad to worse with dialog that defies any human not least in the ludicrous into the home life of our dear wooden inspector and his wife's cooking br br perhaps the scene that best sums up and as the most explicit of hitchcock's persona is the exchange between two lawyers in a bar where they discuss the serial killings and then agree that at least the women had a good time first by being raped br br i remember my at that scene back in and it's still because this wasn't hitchcock being clever or or trying to make some universal point big themes big truths were not hitchcock's nor personal it was just hitchcock allowing a reflection of his own distorted mirror on life to shine through the of the movie br br calling hitchcock's last great masterpiece is to little if any understanding of just what hitchcock actually achieved in the way of cinematic cinematic thrills and dazzling cinematic br br is therefore now what it always was a cheap nasty and ham movie that did no service to any of those involved or to the memory of a film maker who really was in his hollywood days one of the greatest there has ever been,negative +ah yes it's yet another retelling of the classic murderous doctor creates female frankenstein and falls in love br br from the same director who brought you such timeless classics as 10 000 no not the group and blood feast this unfinished film virtually cries out for the mst3k treatment the doctor's assistant even has overtones of from the classic the hands of fate i don't know if the graphic if fake looking violence or the frequent stretches of dialogue free tedium could have scared the crew off though br br the main reasons to bother sitting through this movie are for the hysterical scene the laughably serious ending and the rock bottom production values i actually watched all of the credits after this movie for the same reasons you're inclined to slow down your car when you pass a serious traffic accident that and the sheer genius of the end theme that sounds like a watered down my favorite things played on a toy piano this ain't,negative +george c scott gives his finest and funniest with wonderful drama as well in this screenplay diana is attractive and quite the complicated young woman this film between tragedy and chaos in a new york hospital of the late 60's with consequences hughes is delightful as always great stage actor as well br br an 8 out of 10 best performance george c scott was a big blow hard when he put down vanessa redgrave at the 1978 oscar ceremony but he's a good writer a truly ensemble cast that works

star with its timeless rendering of a dark and fairy tale according to this tale the last person to die before the stroke of midnight on new year's eve is condemned to spend a year behind the of the eponymous phantom collecting the souls of the dead this is the fate of the anti hero of the film david who is moved to painful of his life following his death and subsequent encounter with the driver of the br br this film is often referred to as a horror film and although this is a fitting label the real horror here not in the supernatural elements but rather in the depiction of human suffering at the hands of others gives a remarkable performance as the drunken and menacing in life and the wretched frightened looking back from the land of the dead and from his past deeds br br striking imagery throughout the phantom and more than for the inevitably limited dialogue the ill of midnight is illustrated through the image of a clock face alone in the night sky like a second moon equally the dead are depicted through semi transparent imagery and the scenes of the phantom riding over land and sea remain chilling to watch br br film deserves its place as one of the most silent films of all time and the new soundtrack by is a superb of its themes this is a must see,positive +i think this is a great classic monster film for the family the mole what a machine the tall creature with the the flying green or whatever they are and the ape men things the speak with them the battle of the men in rubber suits fighting for a doll for breakfast class what else can i say how would they make a 2002 remake of this one,positive +for those unfamiliar with this is a very good introduction while deals with the reality behind the of many things including medicine this work is surprisingly of the

about the plot acting script camera work because it have none if putting a muscle guy in cool leather jacket walking in slow mo and throw in a funky rap song is the main of making a great action movie then action movie,negative +the movie is good and i think is very beautiful i liked the movie can anyone tell me how i can get hold of the songs from this movie even the soundtrack will do if that's not possible can i at least get the names of the songs with their respective singers i tried to look up amazon com but its not there i tried cd baby not there either i through to get some details but there weren't any i would appreciate it if someone could give me the answer to my question i know that the songs belong to country music and is sung by a country artist i just need the title names along with the singer i would recommend this movie or rather the songs to any country loving person,positive +i've rent the movie because i'm very fond on war movies and on the cover picture i've read better than save private ryan i thought cool guys is just a ridiculous movie almost fun nothing to do with a proper war movie i want my money back why the f k the peoples lies f no subtitles they tried to make everything with the light but they didn't make it sorry about this but the movie is awful the italians are shown as mafia e br br the american as stupid farmer the germans as even more

on location in the br br then movie goes on they are spectacular car races in rome an i also like the part in very much when they destroy the work of it was funny it was also funny that they where locked in the the second time they get in robert destroyed half of the and when they bust out the electricity get br br i found it very stupid that robert not went in the helicopter but that the ewan gets in alone another detail is that in the movie the is an adopted son from the in the book he is the real son of the br br when i should give the best acting performance then i should say who plays

few minutes with their mouths open staring in the trying to understand what they just seen br br the only thing i can say try to go watch this movie with as little knowledge about it as possible so did i i gave it a 10,positive +i guess my biggest mistake was to watch this remake of back to back with joe original i did the same last week with the omen curiously enough watching the remake right after the original really made me appreciate the 2006 version quite a bit for various reasons br br but this approach sort of on the version it enhanced the fact that it really is a lesser picture basically the version is more or less the exact same film as it tells the same story and follows it practically scene by scene only character and the military were written out of it but the cinematography wasn't as good the acting was worse too especially alexandra paul playing heather character showed me again what a horrible actress she is from the version had his charlton heston way of acting going which was amusing while in the version william does a good job at being william so i didn't mind him really but the whole cast is pretty much inferior and the only worthwhile event was james karen return of the living dead parts 1 2 in a cameo john carl make up effects aren't as neat as rob the musical score had some ring to it but score was much more memorable in the original so all these shortcomings really through with having just re watched the original as part of this double bill br br since scott p remake does follow original i guess it is entertaining enough to sit through though it's lacking the wit original had but what really made me not like version very much is the fact that quite a bit of stock footage from the first film was re used during the attack scenes i never like it when filmmakers do this and i'm not talking about using footage for flashbacks or other valid reasons i mean if you don't have the budget or imagination to come up with newly shot material then for sake don't do a remake but roger corman produced this cheaper remake so i guess i shouldn't be all that surprised about the re use of footage br br if you do decide to watch then make sure it's been a while since you've seen the original you might enjoy this remake a little more then and oh yes that cool little stop motion creature from the original is nowhere to be found in this film as to be expected but what's worse there also isn't any female nudity in this one the original really had quite some shots going for it and that blonde girl from the opening scene even accidentally pulled her underwear a bit down too far when her figures as this version was made for tv,negative +it is a story as old as man the jealousy for another man's wife and there are even against it br br in this story raymond perry mason is the manager of a runner plantation who after the owners wife and feels that he isn't treated with respect the wife the barbara who was trying to make a comeback after a string of affairs was after who killed her husband paul br br but lurking about was a strange woman the who sees everything and who was capable of some voodoo to avenge the which also included another young woman carol to whom also love br br is and becomes or thinks he becomes a gorilla will have to mate with kong if she ever wants her marriage as he goes into the jungle every night br br the end is predictable but the stirring question of this film is why would ever be afraid with those pointed out from her chest no animal could get near her to do harm,negative +natalie wood portrays a disabled who attempts to avoid being as a result of involvement in her first love affair with her partner being attorney marcus simon played by real life husband robert wagner the film is cut heavily but the majority of the remaining scenes shows a very weak hand from the director who wagner to consistently laying waste to a solid and nuanced performance from wood who also a fine soprano the script is somewhat trite but the nature of dramatic is unfortunately in place throughout as he is given a free hand to his stare at wood which must be to an actress the progression of their relationship is presented and this coupled with choppy editing leads the viewer to be less than assured as to what is motivation being almost completely ignored in the writing although largely the cinematography shines during one brief scene when wood is placed in a and following the sound of a closing door remains at the center while the eye pulls away her and more controlled direction would have allowed the performers even the limp wagner to scale their acting along the lines of an engaging relationship as it was released there is for the most part an immense lack of commitment,negative +for once a sequel to the karate kid without ralph did an excellent job playing the orphan julie pierce pat the one who plays mr worked his way with julie quite different from daniel both daniel and julie karate unlike daniel julie was the most person ever challenged and there was no to compete in and there's gonna be some humor in this movie as well i liked the part where when julie came home from school went to check on her and saw her change clothes in the process that was very funny and the classic wax on wax off scene was different as well it was funny when tells julie uh oh missed spot the set in boston was a far cry from california the group in that group was like the in boston and michael was no john his group practically deserted him when julie kicked some serious butt they all paid the price when they blew up that classic what a cowardly act at least they'll find redemption from poison this karate kid sets some morals unlike the last three which talked about honor and respect is hot in any movie and everything else she does movie 9 10,positive +i've got 10 plus year old computer games with better special effects plot is choppy and very predictable most of the actors seem like extras with no experience everyone has scottish accents it's like watching a crew of from star trek without the personality or charm needless scenes of people putting up with all of the supposedly high tech equipment actors looking like they were not sure the camera was on them nothing to make you care if these people survive or not looks like it was made in someone's backyard and garage using low end equipment nothing seems original or even slightly entertaining do not waste your time,negative +1st watched 8 26 2001 8 out of 10 john cassavetes well done early independent film by cassavetes introduced a style that was much different than what hollywood shows it's audience this movie also introduced some very taboo subjects especially the actual racism that probably was prevalent all over the country but was not displayed by the mostly white controlled filmmakers of the time about the only black actors that had much respect at this time were the ones that acted and displayed personality like whites aka sidney besides this the idea of ending a film without truly the relationships that began leaves many but actually makes the viewers realize that life is like this it goes on i prefer this kind of an ending because it makes you think more about the characters and what may happen next and the conclusions are not just laid out for you the movie follows the lives of people a couple of people who have a brief relationship and happen to be opposite skin colors then we watch what happens when the white man realizes what he's done this is done very well and makes the movie very special the acting is supposedly done which makes the movie even more amazing i guess you can say i liked this movie if you can't tell if you can find it check out this classic early independent film,positive +a huge cast gathered for this remake which sadly was a box office failure notwithstanding a great sound track i can't say it was riveting entertainment nor a cure for insomnia nevertheless i enjoyed the film it provided the escape i was after one afternoon a good look for those of us looking for the ideal life albeit a fantasy expect some corny moments few thrills and an occasional laugh,positive +teens on summer break in a small town can't find any meaningful ways to fill their time some consider driving to chicago others are content to drink and bully their peers in a random act of alcohol arrogance the bullies rough up a homeless man and steal a strange book the text turns out to contain spells designed to demonic forces a night or two later one of them reads an and is quickly possessed he turns into a vicious killer and begins to quietly prey on his former peers br br demon summer is an amateur production with a budget the production values are low but the filmmakers were smart enough to not be ambitious little in the way of special props or shooting locations were needed the acting is especially weak and there is virtually nothing original in the screenplay on the positive side the special makeup effects are surprisingly good by low budget film standards despite this the gore is minimal makeup effects aside there is little going for this film even for die hard gore not recommended,negative +i absolutely love this film everything about it it almost felt like watching me and my friends on screen the way this movie was filmed was a pure masterpiece very original and creative i related to these characters and even had the same thoughts as some i'm really glad i ran across this movie if only there were more like justin out there,positive +here is a much lesser known 50's sci fi with a little different twist an atomic son is kidnapped and held for a of the the father's atomic secrets br br this is a tightly atomic sci fi thriller with great production values and above average acting even from the kid the atomic city actually has a movie feel to it unlike a lot of other 50's sci fi of this time which which came off more like an episode of a tv show br br the atomic city was also actually nominated for an academy award for best screenplay how many other 50's sci fi can an academy award nomination br br great pacing tight direction and some superb location filming in the atomic city of los new mexico make this one worth hunting down the print in is an above average transfer and makes for a great double feature with the atomic man br br recommended,positive +this event defined an era of wrestling entertainment that i believe is not today the colorful characters in their stereotypical brought a certain charm to the show that has since been raped by society and wrestling had a bit of an innocence back then a kid could watch it without watching an episode of jerry springer br br looking back now i was 5 at the time although i loved both warrior and hogan i think i enjoyed warrior more because of his hogan was the hero who an impressive public image the ultimate warrior on the other hand was a masked man of few words an out of the hero for a different audience br br this rivalry was so exciting as a kid because of this in me it out for each i had a place for both of them because there was bloodshed too in this long heavy battle the stakes were high at least to me as a kid on a similar note because of defeat this made him more human i remember feeling kind of sorry for him br br all of these emotions at play in the juvenile boy's soap opera made such a great time to witness this game,positive +i liked this movie that's pretty much all i can say about it lou did a good job even though i'm still very disappointed in him after all the iron eagle movies and even if i was smiling on the inside when the first main teenager dies i won't give it away it was done in a nice fitting fashion pretty much everyone in this movie does a good job so check it out it's another one of those movies i found real cheap so i bought it and i recommend the same,positive +after the lead actress of the opera is killed in a car accident her young betty is brought to the that's very lucky for her with one problem she has an admirer that has decided he will kill all her friends and make her watch what is his connection to the opera and what is his fascination with betty br br i love with every part of my body and i'm not an fan i think many people particularly critics praise his earlier work and deep red but really on later films such as which i liked my favorite is usually vastly underrated opera tends to fall somewhere in between some consider it one of his last great films others see it as part of his so called decline i loved it br br the picture is crisp the music is great unlike other critics i love the metal soundtrack the female lead is someone i can feel for not unlike jennifer from and the imagery wonderful great cinematography and some amazing kill scenes the concept of to a person's eyes so they cannot blink brilliant my assistant tina thinks this looked fake but even if it does the idea is more than enough to pay off and some great effects like a knife blade coming up inside a man's mouth awesome br br jim calls the film stunning and calls attention to the innovative cinematography well constructed shots and exceptionally violent murders i agree with this completely one shot follows the camera through and there is a very interesting visual use of throughout the story mike likewise calls it visually fascinating eye candy and the crisp editing and flowing camera work it's really a wonder that this is not one of more highly praised works br br returned to the opera with phantom of the opera which was a bit of a failure despite the casting of his daughter asia and julian even more interesting this same year offered the release of which like opera has a killer loose inside a theater killing off the people involved with the presentation both are great films with more on the slasher side actually served as second unit director on opera you can make your own conclusions br br my only complaint with this film is the length and pacing while it is very beautifully shot and the kill scenes are glorious they are not as frequent as they should be the first one takes over a half hour and then we get down times between them the lead actress should be in constant terror but she is given time between kills to calm down as if everything is normal again not cool we need to keep the suspense low and the intensity high,positive +while not for everyone is a delight to watch with tongue planted firmly in cheek the likeable character of jack simpson played by mick is the local for free parking and making a couple of dollars on the side selling the parking space to work colleagues when the club members need to raise some money to save their club they call upon jack to join their team and play competition br br filled with aussie charm the wit of mick is showing through he also co wrote the script reminding this viewer of his earlier work in radio perfect aussie casting with bill hunter as jack's mentor stan john clarke of the games fame as the ruthless businessman and rival club owner with samuel johnson as jack's dave and lucy as the jaded journalist nancy br br initially i figured only fans of would like this flick but judging by the number of the blue set the cinema this is a film for everyone,positive +i find it difficult to comprehend what makes viewer's feel this is a powerful movie i would guess that the main intention of this film would be a character study and the effects of racism in a british community it is therefore all the more disappointing that all the characters are two dimensional and the acting is at the level of a college performing arts course i'm always of another word for being too lazy to write a decent script i was embarrassed by the performances and sat in an audience who laughed when they surely were supposed to be moved by the story racism is a serious issue but i think a subtle approach in cinema works far better than laying it on with,negative +during filming was vanessa redgrave taking it was like she was reading from an i've seen more life in a wooden or perhaps that was all part of the character whatever it was very very annoying i kept wanting to shake the screen to hurry her up i read the book a long time ago didn't like much about it except that descent into madness was very well done but i don't think rupert graves showed this very well his acting was all on the surface the connection between his life and is not very well done either but i suspect the attempt is to show the sacrifice soldiers made to people like to continue their vapid lives the film is very and has no real to it hated it,negative +with the of repetitive and derivative sitcoms fall summer winter and spring line ups it's nice to see a show that sets itself from the lot in more than one area br br takes an unusual approach it's not about the daily of an eccentric family nor about the other boring stuff you see everywhere in sitcoms the show is about this small time white trash thief earl who off a card and scores big time right at that moment took it away from him he learns that that unusual incident was probably because of all the bad things he's been doing so he sets off on a mission to right every wrong he ever did and he's got all his deeds on a paper br br this is a brilliant premise for a sitcom thankfully it landed in the right hands the execution of the show produces extremely satisfactory results you get an innovative comedy that is genuinely funny and really touching at many times you can't help but fall in love with sincerity and simple mind good heart and observations on life wild flamboyant personality and demeanor that really him to you very easily br br when you combine the show's with its genuine humor good heart interesting characters and well written dialogue you really have a keeper with shows like this and the the office nbc is obviously on to something did they finally free a or two for quality let's hope so and let's hope for more quality shows like these will the line ups shows that'll make both us tv viewers and nbc executives stop crying over the long gone days of golden days seinfeld friends,negative +i'm not a big tv person but when i saw the episode of greek i couldn't wait until next week i don't miss the show for nothing br br thank god for lol i'm in love with he acts like a bad boy but he is so sweet everybody has their own character so we have pretty much all types of people you could still throw in a hispanic and a persons br br i didn't go to school in usa so i never liked the idea of frat houses and stuff like that so when my husband told me about the show i didn't pay attention until he asked me to watch it and since i didn't have noting better to do i agreed i laughed so hard the first night that i just needed to keep watching it br br so i'm with the other people that voted for this show to continue on i will hope for a second third and who knows how many more episodes its a really good show very funny and entertaining,positive +in the opening sequence of where's george segal rises from his bed one morning puts on a gorilla suit and goes into his mother's bedroom we realize later to give her a massive heart attack that will kill her and get her out of his life forever this is about the level of humor one can expect from most of this picture insanity with what might be taken as morbid daring br br segal plays a new york attorney who lives with his supposedly mother ruth gordon whose life is further complicated when while hiring a nurse to care for the old bag meets the girl of his dreams the pleasantly van out like his dilemma how to the lovely nurse into his and his mother's life br br performance is about the only thing holding the picture together his his reactions his comic timing is almost whatever happened to that guy where the film fails is in other areas ruth characterization is dreadful as the mother at the beginning you can't figure out if her character is or just being deliberately vague to keep her son from moving out by the end it's clear she's just nuts when segal brings van home to meet her and she gets a mean sinister look she wants the intruder in her son's life removed she's this is not the mode of a person you're not getting a consistent performance throughout the picture which is probably the director's carl fault as much as ruth old lady in baby is much more successful because with the kind of person that ruth gordon generally plays the audience responds to her as annoying but when is too to fight back gordon becomes more her dig deeper and deeper and we're frightened for this kind of is genuinely terrifying here we're being asked to laugh at what we'd normally find annoying and if gordon played it as nutty all the way we might but she's selfish and mean as well and it what little humor there is br br there are a few good laughs though a courtroom scene with hughes as a military officer and rob as a punk is fairly hilarious and vincent does a nice turn as a football coach there's also an inspired bit where brother ron having been stripped naked by on his way to place asks him for something for to wear home and he gives him the gorilla suit br br but of a lot of the script is poorly conceived and simply doesn't make sense why is a new york lawyer with his own practice even living at home in the first place why does segal if his mother is try to reason with her if you spoil this for me i'll punch your f ing heart out why does keep cutting through the park if he knows he's going to get why does he take a taxi after leaving with gorilla suit why wasn't he taking all along a funnier bit would have been as the gorilla the why does van keep coming back after her first husband was a why does she want to get involved with this bunch i suppose if i put this to carl he'd say are crazy people they don't have to make sense ' which is a convenient way to excuse a lousy script that's full of holes the characters' moment to moment behavior may not have to make sense but their motivations do and that's where where's falls apart the situations are created just to have the gag and the gags are mostly one shots they don't build to anything br br carl is the most guilty in this whole fiasco how he has acquired this reputation as a of comedy me basically his career has been to hold a in front of sid and mel brooks while they talk in funny voices his son rob has ten times the skill and intelligence as a director in show terms pushes buttons a monkey could do his job and that is most apparent in his framing of the action why is all of new york shot in tight and in close ups but the scenes in the country are all distant and that's the mentality of carl direction claustrophobic for the city for the country in the final lunatic scene at the old folks home the camera is so far off you can't even make out what's going on the abrupt ending suggests a resolution that segal could have easily arrived at ninety minutes ago it also suggests couldn't figure out how to end the picture so he just cut it as another example of seems to think equals and without logic is always funny it isn't and the creators of where's are as demented as ruth gordon putting in her fruit,negative +reasonably effective horror science fiction a la alien is fairly well done given its limited ambitions some nice special effects and well paced action sequences adequately the cracks in the rather tiresome dialogue when a space craft crash lands on a remote planet the survivors soon become aware that a hideous terror them in the dark of the upcoming total,positive +disgusting city worst piece of junk ever made sick weird horrible enough said hold your nose don't eat after seeing this sick demented garbage of a movie you won't be able to eat your food for a week but maybe that's good a new has been invented go to see this vomit inducing film get sick to your stomach and you will be so turned off by the whole mess that you can't eat for at least a week and you drop about 15 pounds br br me me lay with a name like this it's really amazing that she doesn't have a cult fan following she rates as the worst actress ever her films make ed woods look like gone with the wind this movie rates a minus 10,negative +i have never seen the first film and i have also never heard a good thing said about it so i see 2 in the local blockbusters and pick it up and look at the back starring and debbie it boasts now being the massive troma fan that i am there is no way i'm not going to rent this film out how can it possibly be bad with these two in it oh how wrong i was even and debbie cant save this excuse of a film from being as bad as it truly is quite frankly stinks as although this probably is more the fault of the writers giving him some of the worst one liners in the history of film debbie does put a solid performance in but it isn't enough the kills are terrible as are the gore effects for example check out when the guy is supposedly on something or other and just to top it all off the ending is just amongst the worst i have ever seen in movie history the film doesn't even work on a so bad it's good level avoid like the br br 2 10,negative +there is a fantastic song in 2 that goes on about how are usually really nice and fun but is a killer i don't recall the song in the first movie but when singer sings yeah is sounds like the 2 may have been added in for this dire sequel the film is much worse than the first movie and that was really bad this time the cast including the usually excellent debbie have given up trying and director creates no tension and presents merely a dull and steady film full moon pictures produced this during their phase none of which was very good but none so bad as here,negative +is a funny movie everyone at the has seen it and all say the same the wheel of cheese was a great part of the movie also the loud dear mr so and so you have left you right on or when jack goes home and lays down on the couch and cracks a beer is hard work me up and when his roommate shows interest by joining the club and calling number jack buying all the tickets to win the meat bloody great movie if you are into lawn as you can relate to it if your not a lawn forget it i think the evans head would rate as the best club in friendly people great company hi to evans head steve,positive +i have recently gone to the movie theatres to see the new 2007 version of bridge to after i went to the library to rent the older version to see it again without paying again i must say that i was extremely disappointed i found the older version to have horrible acting as well as corny lines including jessie saying i know daddy but i hurt so much inside after leslie dies it was quite horribly done and the casting was not much better in my opinion i watched in all the while saying no wonder they remade it the story is great but trust me spend the money and see the new version if you just see the old one you may never experience the true magic of,negative +i normally love jackie chan movies but this one was terrible there are only 2 or 3 fight scenes all of which are up to normal standard more or less the bad thing about this movie is it focuses a lot on car chasing racing the car chase isn't so bad though not as exciting as fighting but the car racing at the end is exceptionally boring basically it takes all of things that make a jackie chan film a jackie chan film and leaves out everything except jackie chan even the traditional at the end lack their usual humour br br i suppose to a certain extent it was made worse by the fact i saw one of those horrible dubbed versions i usually try to see the subtitled version i wish i could understand chinese br br i've only seen one jackie film worse that this one and that was one of his early into hollywood films that didn't turn out so well br br avoid unless really curious or a lover of sports,negative +this is one of the worst pieces of cinema i have seen in some time this is also my first review so you can tell i must hate this film at lot br br don't get me wrong i like my serious films i don't like hollywood too much i tend to like french italian offbeat us or anything that tries to communicate something sensible br br but this was awful why 1 the plot such as it was was entirely unbelievable even though the director seems to be everything on a feeling of realism br br 2 the main character has nothing to recommend him does he smoke for or to show us his angst for goodness sake this guy is meant to be an ex dodgy mafia lawyer are we meant to care more because that he is also one of the people you could ever meet and he so he must have deep personal issues pop psychology at it's best in the final moments i almost as he gets buried in the best place for him and i thought that was about the only good scene or maybe that was because it was so close the final credits br br 3 the entirely tired and unbelievable interest in the main character from the beautiful girl she was there simply because beautiful girls always have odd sexual relationships with old old men with a deep and meaningful personality as demonstrated by smoking happens all the time in really bad films that is br br 4 the pace was so i like slow i like careful but this was just br br 5 50 a bunch of other stuff that i really can't be bothered to write br br awful,negative +i can't really criticize this film it is literally the first film i ever remember seeing and lead to a love of science fiction and horror films and animals fortunately seeing it again years later it held up fairly well rod cameron plays a big game hunter whose last was wiped out by no one believes him including his best friend played by romero whose brother was among those killed and rod cameron was the only survivor the film was shot in india and has some good scenery the acting is on a high level i don't believe rod cameron romero and marie ever turned in a bad performance the when they finally arrive are fairly effective the ending also has an unusual twist particularly for a 1950's science fiction film definitely worth seeing,positive +i first saw this movie back in 1994 or during my year in high school when it was on lifetime after i first saw it i thought it was wonderful sure it may not have run longer but it is as accurate as can be in my own opinion regardless of what anyone else may think was great at portraying karen and mitchell anderson was okay as richard louise yes who played nurse in one flew over the nest was fine as well but i found her version of karen and mother to be a little bit of a control freak i am an extremely huge fan of the and i believe that voice was and still is so wonderful it really me about the fact that she is gone and had left this earth too soon but thanks to the never ending popularity of her music and her voice the music will live on anyway back on track to this movie it really is a mystery to me and possibly other people fans and non fans of the as to what caused karen to end up getting this problem with her health was it the media that was responsible or was it just decision i would not believe that it was her decision it could have been the media from one article that was out about her somewhere in when their hit close to you came out from what was shown in the film there are some other moments in the movie as well struggle with drugs and brief marriage i did not hear about her loss in of 1983 as i was not yet into watching the news i had found out years later i don't know if there will be another movie about the or karen made in the future but until then this movie will do fine i will say this though if karen had the false details of that article or any future that might have been published with similar content calling her which must have been quite an insult she would still be here on this earth today i know that she is in heaven and probably entertaining everyone with her beautiful voice god bless you karen,positive +it has been since 1972 that i saw this movie and i still remember it as one of my favorite all time movies i would buy a copy if it were on dvd and it is too bad it isn't you would think that anything starring peter sellers would be brought back much better than being there and as good as the pink series had a small part for such a well performer she is bonus in this movie i think the medical field may not appreciate this film as it really makes fun of the profession and it also makes one appreciate that sellers was never available to treat them as his bed side manner sucked as well did his analysis of,positive +some movies are off beat but enjoyable but many movies are just mind numbingly weird fits not so nicely in the latter category many seem to like it because of endless guest appearances and a total lack of sense but those two things can only take a movie so far and simply doesn't have any other merits to its credit br br itself on plot its main character gus is a 10 year old on a across an imaginary country trying to collect game pieces to win 500 million when with adult figures none of them seem to notice or be concerned with the fact that he's 10 years old at first it's incredibly funny but it quickly becomes just too unbelievable especially considering the people he runs into and the fact that he seems so by a lot of the disturbing to someone that age imagery going on around him gus has no depth and as an anti hero who has no problem causing misery for others to get his game pieces it's hard to feel sorry for him when he encounters trouble br br that trouble is provided by a slew of guest appearances each gus in more and more strange ways besides making the already worn out plot even more unbelievable and less enjoyable the characters share lack of depth and are equally the character's actions can get a little interesting but the actors themselves don't add anything to them thus the whole point of getting big names they could've been played by anyone and the character would've been the same these guest appearances seem to have been signed more for value than anything else br br should be interesting it's a unique idea but there's too little semblance of sense in the script for it to work incidents that should have a lasting effect on the anti hero and the viewer don't as the movie quickly moves from incident to incident in the hope that something will eventually make the audience feel sorry or understanding for gus that never happens as by doing so nothing is allowed to connect it just back and forth as if on a belt one incident after another with a story so nonsensical it to be enjoyable and a main character who never to care for himself or anyone else on a higher level has little to offer except a brat around and trying to get rich why should we care about that,negative +if imdb would allow one word reviews that's what mine would be this film was originally intended only for kids and it would seem to be very tough going for adults or older kids to watch the film the singing the story everything is dull and washed out just like this public print like other comedy team films with roots in traditional kids stories such as the awful snow white and the three stooges and the overrated babes in this movie has limited appeal and just doesn't age well now that i think about it i seriously doubt that many kids nowadays would even find this film enjoyable so my advice is don't watch this film if you must watch an and film almost any other one of their films except for a c go to mars would be an improvement,negative +days of heaven is one of the most painfully boring and pointless films i have ever seen in no way shape or form would i recommend it to anyone unless you're trying to put your kids to sleep or god give someone an if i could go back in time and do one thing i would set fire to the before they were sent to theaters why days of plot is simple but extremely vague long sequences devoid of dialogue much of the film the characters are too shallow and ridiculously stupid to relate with the climax of the story does not touch you by this time your brain has worked so hard to figure out the plot and the array of hidden that your ability to think is gone the only things working are your eyes and unfortunately your ears who must listen to the sound of linda the little girl in the story who talks like a man i am now dumber for seeing this movie don't let it happen to you,negative +on seeing this movie i didn't expect much i was delightfully surprised although the writing was as some of the dialog seemed drawn out and contrived the script did have shining moments my favorite line life is like a rich an and i'm so i can't enjoy it the plot was new and refreshing as opposed to some of the newer more main stream horror that most of us are sadly growing used to i do believe some of the scenes could should have been longer and maybe some shorter the superfluous use of blood was campy but seemed to make sense in the end ah the end the end would have been a little better if they had explained why what happened happened i don't wanna spoil it it might have also added to the movie time which is in the area of it's only an hour long how good could it be answer quite good,positive +i was telling a friend of mine about the time my grandfather actually picked this horrible piece of crap for us to see one night at the theater he never picked another one again it was that bad anyway my friend then told me that her father did some of the writing for this garbage i thought she was kidding it turns out she was serious she had never actually seen it and she said that it put a quick halt to her father's writing career i told her not to waste her time but if she did actually break down and watch it she would see within the fist minute why this ended her father's days as a writer i mean even for the 1980's this crap is bad beyond description i mean joe as terrible tucker and why in the world would two cops care one bit about a house full of ghosts and the movie poster a ghost with his tongue hanging out what is that about nothing about this makes any sense well i told my friend that this crap not only ended her father's writing career it ended the careers of everybody involved or at least none of them ever fully from being in this garbage of a movie let's just say that i will forever my friend for revealing to me that her father was a writer for this movie that alone should tell just how bad this is,negative +walking with dinosaurs is an amazing documentary educational for both the ignorant of dinosaurs and dinosaur lovers like myself alike i admit i was very young when i saw this on discovery but i was obsessed with it immediately the series contains 6 episodes going from the late when dinosaurs were just first to the late at the end of reign of the dinosaurs when i first saw this film it was like i really had traveled back in time the of the the adventures of and the caring mother version of t rex all my family and me it is an amazing film and i believe that bbc managed to do just what they set out to do awesome job,positive +it resembles so much to movies like pulp fiction or dogs that is impossible to think that films weren't a source of inspiration to this however for a low cost b series movie it's not bad the plot about gangsters is captivating and funny and it also has a bit of dark humor and sarcasm we can find in pulp fiction the resources weren't many sure but the film is well produced the acting also is good i enjoyed the scene when the girl was sat on the the doctor it was hot and funny at the same time the soundtrack is nice too i didn't hear too many songs but the ones i heard i liked i score it 7 10,positive +this movie will not go over well with some because most of the horror is mental but it does have a little something for almost everyone including a couple of really cool scenes with aliens the film makes extensive use of alien mythology while also showing a bit more intelligence about some of than you would expect out of a movie is excellent in what had to have been a performance,positive +if you're coming to this film to learn something about depression forget it you won't learn anything except how not to write a screenplay on the subject i understand the intent was to show how severe depression can turn an average person into a complete wreck but the result is the most one dimensional character i've ever seen in a hollywood feature no small feat christina as elizabeth spends the entirety of this film screaming at the top of her insulting someone into tears or some combination of the three the only exceptions being some quiet at the beginning and end there is not the slightest hint of what she might be like without depression not the of any other aspects of her personality she just screams at one point her roommate tells her you're such a fun person to be around when you're not being depressed and my reaction was she is it seemed odd that the writers would include this comment without giving us any examples but this script is a lesson in incompetence it has no discernible structure or flow at all instead it consists of a series of strung together scenes of screaming then ends character development no scenes of her everyday existence i e going to classes that might possibly be important details no screaming at maximum volume check it's not quite enough i'm afraid 1 10,negative +where to begin i like the scary snow monster named jack frost the whole concept works well for me we thought he'd be back and he was changing the local to a resort works seeing old friends and meeting new characters scott macdonald does a great job as jack frost you can tell when an actor has fun playing a villain you can see it or in this case hear it in the performance jack frost 2 is a welcomed sequel that is better then the first i do have one complaint the little or the as i call them they looked like hand puppets i think they could have done a better job with the the mouth could have opened wider but the cgi was good and as a whole the whole movie is worth watching over and over again if you liked jack frost then you will like this sequel no questions or debate 9 big stars,positive +it is movie about love violence illegal affairs and romanian a romanian story combined with an adaption resulting in a modern international film that can be understood both by western audiences but as well by eastern european audiences that have long forgotten about the conservative over film making br br a film full of violent fight scenes that are very numerous and create more and more situations as the movie goes on br br a story that because of its view over the hard life from the two young men do illegal car races they work together as a team and from their but when they are asked by a local to lose one race things start to get messy and the from the bomb lights up creating a very movie that will keep you close to the screen until the ending of it when you will still be asking yourself a lot of questions long after that br br brilliant acting both by and along with high quality directing and screen writing by the young but talented director also give a unique charm to all this and many other elements that can be noticed while watching have created a must see movie by all the around the world and its message is clear to all not depending of race language we speak or country it is a real hope for the romanian cinema as it tries to keep up with the more advanced cinema br br i hope you enjoy watching it as i'm sure that all the people that have seen it liked it and understood it,positive +spoilers for some strange reason oliver talk radio based on the stephen book talked to death and the films star eric play about the 1984 murder of denver talk show host alan has never gotten the recognition that it so rightfully deserved the 1988 movie was enough to recognize the underground movement that was developing in the farm and of america a movement that some seven years later the likes of an angry and disgruntled war veteran timothy who's hatred for the us actions in texas lead to his and friend terry of the us federal building in city on april 19 1995 that took the lives of people the worst act of terrorism on us up to that time br br the movie is as far as i know the first time that any major branch of the entertainment media mentioned and on the rural novel the turner by the late william l pierce that has since become a chilling underground classic the turner a domestic and utterly disastrous terrorist attack like the city bombing on a us government federal facility which was the fbi building in washington d c br br dallas radio station talk show host barry eric is the top rated show in the dallas listening area and is now about to go national barry his high rating by his razor sharp wit and abusive behavior when he's on the air taking on all and no issues no matter how or taboo they are has gotten barry to be the most listened to as well as hated man on radio barry being a at heart and not thinking that his talk can lead to violence keeps up his to his call in as his rating go up to the but there are those in the listening audience mostly ultra right wing types that don't take too kindly to his in your face attitude one of them decides to take matters into his on hand at expense br br performance by eric as the tragic barry who crossed the line from entertainment to hard reality in his actions on the radio thinking that he's not that important to be sought out and murdered for his on the air opinions which is enemies dislike he found out only too late that there are those out there who are crazy enough to do to him on the outside also in the movie talk radio is a very young baldwin as boss dan who tries to have him his tone but in the end goes along with his talk show style since he's killing the competition not realizing that in the end it's him that he'll end up getting killed br br both ellen green and leslie hope are the two women in life his ex wife ellen and now lover and talk show producer laura whom barry uses to his advantage and almost ends up losing both of them at the same time the 1988 film talk radio is so far ahead of it's time that even if you watch it now in 2005 you still think that it's too disturbing to be shown to an over sensitive and delicate american public,positive +and woody are married but they're poor they meet robert redford and he's really rich he takes a fancy to and since he's a gambling man he makes the couple an one million dollars for a night with the little woman br br at this point you need watch no more of the film because you can put the details together in your sleep of course is going to accept the offer if she doesn't there's no first half of the movie of course it will affect and marriage if it doesn't there's no second half of the movie and of course everything will turn out okay by the time the credits roll if it doesn't there's no happy ending for the sake of box office br br the absolute best thing you can say about is that moore looks good in a black dress as for the rest the script is incompetent the direction amateurish the performances i suspect redford moore and and change the subject every time the film is mentioned do them and more importantly yourself a favor unless some one offers you a million miss it br br gary f taylor aka amazon reviewer,negative +empire strikes back director never say never again a remake of the 1965 james bond movie doesn't surpasses the young original but this non harry albert r film is well worth watching if you call yourself a nevertheless despite its of clever and the lack of a vibrant musical score never say never again rates as an above average suspenseful thriller with top flight performances by a seasoned cast including sean connery kim basinger maria max von barbara edward fox alec and the film with surprises from the title credits sequence throughout its generally exciting but lengthy minutes unlike the franchise james bond with their breath taking moments of spectacle never say never again provides few of these scenes because of its budget indeed the film features only three an explosive ball point pen a with a laser and a up motorcycle aside from the hall opening theme song ice station composer michel music score leaves much to be desired none of those snappy jazz that made john music for the regular bond franchise so memorable all in all never say never again seems to fit more into the first two bond dr no and from russia with love on her secret service in terms of its more down to earth approach to the subject matter br br never say never again presents sean james bond as an older who has seen his day and has been taken off active service to teach ironically roger moore was a year older than connery and moore's bond movies treated as an active young guy sean connery seems to be responsible for making a more mature secret agent and a number of changes take place in the screenplay that emphasize age initially connery had to play bond without a but mercifully minds and connery sports a he looks and fit and appears in better condition than he did twelve years earlier when he was rushed into are forever at the last moment to replace john connery had been working on another movie and had gained weight for the role that he was unable to remove in time for are forever at connery still has a youthful here despite the contrived demands of the script br br the action unfolds with single trying to rescue a kidnapped woman on a remote desert island he several guards armed with machine guns and the woman only to have her stab him with a knife in the side when he isn't looking it seems that this entire sequence was an exercise designed by m edward fox of day of the to test ability the new m doesn't share his use of field agents m decides that bond needs to clean out his system of all and has packed off to while at the country clinic bond notices suspicious activity between a nurse and a patient and gets noticed watching them the nurse is none other than assassin barbara of the island of dr and she is in charge of

captain who has access to the highly sophisticated computers and can order the of weapons after he steals the weapons for runs him off the road by her pet snake in his lap and then an explosive to his car and blows him up indeed the first part of never say never again apart from the planning belong to as she stay at the clinic and then repeatedly tries to kill bond one at sea with sharks and later in a motel with an device br br eventually bond meets the beautiful blond domino kim basinger of mother and into charity at a casino where the two face off in an elaborate video game called to see who will rule the world bond him and hates him now because is his only rival to domino and a thorn in his side that not even seems to be able to remove bond and have it out after a motorcycle chase when he returns the favor and blows her up their earlier encounter in the when she attached a device to lure a shark after him is pretty lame like in the original the villains recover the nuclear at sea but just the themselves br br bond flies to the where he meets his small fawcett no lesser than of mr bean fame who is worried that bond may kill somebody and ruin the island paradise of course small fawcett serves as the film's source of comic relief the c i a sends felix of guns of the magnificent seven to back up bond this is the first time that an african american portrayed bond encounters his share of problems involving saving domino from arab while and he save the world never say never again is a richly respectable james bond thriller with many neat touches but it never the air of danger that the franchise bond films have indeed never say never again looks like a masterpiece theatre take on,positive +i saw this film at the international film festival 2002 this seemed to be one of the less popular films on the festival however as it turned out all the more interesting br br the story of an actor trying to come to grips with himself and his environment after from a drug addiction is based on actual facts moreover the characters playing in the film are the real people living this experience over again this time for the film which is partly set up as a stage play not only do they all happen to be good actors parents are actors in real life as well the methods used in their relationship towards are very effective br br is the actor of some chinese action films late eighties start nineties later you can see him in great films such as frozen and river in between these two career paths becomes a drug addict and all drive to act or even do anything except for making somewhat attempts at becoming a guitar br br i like the way the writer of the scenario choose to emphasize on his behavior after more than on the horror of drugs we really feel the pain and struggle is in at the same time we hate him for the way he treats those around him br br the film draws the viewer into a pattern seems to be caught in dragging with him his parents and sister who try to take care of him because there are personal with the characters we feel like we are getting to know not only through himself but through others as well br br the film has a heavy feel but scenes of through and with his friends the tone so does the bitter humor in a lot of events throughout the film the music is beautiful and stayed with me for a while after this is a film that might not easily appeal to many people but for those interested in the more serious and modern chinese film this is a strong recommendation,positive +as i was flipping through the channel i came to a channel it is an urban channel i saw this movie on and decided to give it a try i almost became a mass murderer due to this film i have done home movies and they are oscar quality compared to this huge mass of the lighting was terrible and the acting was absolutely bad i would rather watch star crystal holy cow maybe that is not a good example the main question i have about this film is was it to be a morality film the reason why i ask is because was one line where this lady in a wheelchair says i would have been another gang oh my head is starting to hurt after hearing that line i went into the kitchen and pulled out a knife ready to stab anyone who watch this movie but some sense kicked in and i just changed the channel to watch the man with the paint well that is all i have to say about this movie if you want to endure this pain go ahead but not recommended for those with short or a bad case of,negative +i have seen it a few times and get completely glued to it every time it is very suspenseful and intense to describe it sounds boring but it is amazing it is the kind of movie where you need can't miss a thing but if you it in it sticks with you long after it ends now thinking about it i don't even know what stone was trying to make us see just the story of alan green i don't think so it was a look at ignorance stupidity self and a guy just his grip maybe he had more grip than the though i didn't like barry but still seemed worried about him for some reason i was at why i couldn't get him out of my mind when the movie ended i wish i could see inside mind for this one,positive +this movie came very close to being a good flick the direction needs to be a bit to progress from one piece to the next to make it more plausible in particular the main character's need to escape is not explicit enough is he trying to kill himself is he trying to escape his life does not seem to be that bad so it makes it more difficult to swallow that he wants to leave his life so much also it is not very clear how much in love he has fallen with jennifer jason l if the movie was with some more attention to these details it would have been great on the other hand for an flick it's pretty good maybe if you have a couple of drinks to dull the logical thinking it would be more fun br br,negative +in 1967 i saw an outstanding musical at the in new york city where angela lansbury the stage as but did hollywood give her the lead no lucille ball great as lucy was given the role she killed the film what a mistake there was no chemistry as there was on the stage arthur and angela what a when they sang it is too bad a producer does not put these two together even today,negative +the worst movie i've ever seen i still don't understand what dennis hopper and michael madsen intend to do in maybe they had bills to pay the best and cult part happens during a flashback which brings us during wwii when a nazi officer hide his jewish wife that's the beginning of a typical serial killer life it seems to be directed during the beginning of the 80's but then appears a new amazing this movie was directed in 2001 i'm quite sure that it took less than two weeks to do that movie i heard that dennis wife asked for divorce after she saw that picture and michael mother had a heart attack when the actor admitted to be the man under the yellow baseball hat pathetic,negative +this film is an abomination of all that is worthy in film making the lead actor surprises his audience by not actually acting at all we have to watch almost two hours of his bland soulless face the jokes are all lame i never laughed once it was saturday night there were 5 of us having a beer all up for a laugh and then we put this on and you could feel all the warmth and colour being from the room the film ended and the mood was ruined so we all went our separate ways ruined the night ok so pros and cons pros beautiful setting in hawaii looks good on cons worst acting ever you can tell everyone concerned is just thinking about predictable poor plot zero character development forced jokes which fall flat many shots of the guys penis which to be fair acts better than him and has more charisma may all makers of this film hang their heads in shame and hold their cheap,negative +this is one of my three all time favorite movies my only is that the director peter had too many cuts showing the actors instead of together as a scene but the performances were so great i forgive him br br albert finney and tom are absolutely marvelous brilliant the script is great giving a very good picture of life in the theatre during world war ii and therefore what it was like in the 30s as well lots of great subtle touches lots of broad all of it perfectly done scene after scene just blows me away and then there's the heartbreaking climax,positive +no movie i've ever seen before has even come close to being as boring and stupid as this hunk of junk and i have always been a big b movie fan after viewing this total piece of crap though i can honestly say that this doesn't even come close to being a b movie br br no one in this movie could act if their life on it the script is so stupid i don't think i've ever heard anyone talk like this in my life the writer should go spend a few years studying real life people to see just how they act and talk even then they would not be able to make a watchable movie because it is so obvious that no one involved in this movie has any talent driving them at all br br i could make a better movie with a digital camera and some monster toys also forget about any sexy scenes the women in the leather outfits are so grotesque you would sooner than get turned on br br avoid this pointless drivel unless you want to be bored out of your mind,negative +this is a pretty obscure dumb horror movie set in the 1970s it is really stupid and lame for the first half then it actually starts to get good for the last half there is a scene with the hero running to save his friends interspersed with shots of a church group singing i don't know it is mesmerizing i was impressed with the night time scenes because it actually looked like night unlike most low budget horror films where it still looks like daytime i feel like the director was really talented but was working with a budget and a tough schedule there are a few scenes towards the end the one mentioned above and also the end credits that are extremely cool this movie could have been a genuine classic if it left its scooby doo conventions behind and went straight for the throat i was surprised at how good this movie turned out to be i couldn't take my eyes off of it and i had to ask myself why,positive +i find the critique of many imdb users a little harsh and in many cases find that they the movie from a very professional viewpoint and not that of the guy on the street that wants to sit and watch something just to get away from it all br br in this case however i have to say it was bad i am a scifi and there was nothing in this movie that grabbed me for even one second br br there was no proper storyline i may be an idiot but i still do not know where the government was that was so worried about these pieces br br the pathetic attempt by the main character to put together these 3 pieces is scary half the time the two pieces were already in place and he simply had to add the third a 3 year old kid would have been able to put them together br br this movie was bad br br dominic,negative +such a shame that this wonderful bright spot on the small screen had such talent in writers and actors such wonderful scenery that was the ultimate for those in a land locked sun state many of the actors went on to bigger things another that there was something wonderful sadly lost i lived in at the time with all of my now ex husband's very large family in a chorus of no ' every time it would be yet again taken over by a baseball game broadcast br br someone who wrote here mentioned it was up against all my ex and i noticed was that it was always always always by baseball yes fox really wasted something wonderful that one and nothing will ever equal it thank you for the memories of it,positive +although promoted as one of the most sincere turkish films with an amateur cast ice cream i scream is more like a caricature of sincerity br br the plot opens with the dream of ali a traveling ice cream salesman in a western town in which he sees himself becoming successful using the same marketing methods of big ice cream companies he dreams of playing in his tv commercial with beautiful models in dancing around him as his dream turns into a nightmare he wakes up with a big next to his wife who rejects to make sex with him for 6 years with no apparent reason is it because he is not successful in his job apparently because he says he was selling better in the old days when there was no pressure from global ice cream companies but this is what he says we actually don't see him suffer that much he still sells good traveling the while his apprentice stays at the shop selling ice cream to the people in the town ali blames big companies for using and agents while he is using real roots of mountain ali buys a with a bank to be a traveling and gives ads to a local tv channel which prefers to broadcast even the news in local his wife is not fond of his ways of doing business they always and ali threatens her that he may do very bad things in a moment of frenzy br br in a very successful day his lousy bike is stolen by the little boys of the town in search of his stolen bike ali goes to the police blames the big companies for the but of course nobody takes him seriously annoyed by the of his wife ali goes to a and becomes drunk one of his friends at his table a wannabe of the town gives a speech and and with no real connection jumps to the subject of global ali returns home and decides to kill himself with poison his wife wakes up and him an old neighbor takes him to a night walk and him about life according to him ali can even sell hot drink if the world faces with global when he returns home suddenly we see that his wife understood his value treating him like a hero and his meanwhile the thief boys got sick eating too much ice cream they confess to the doctor that they stole bike ali them and there comes the happy end br br although the plot may look promising in a way it's the story telling which makes this film and cheesy first the director doesn't show much of an effort to tell the story visually everything is based on dialogs and the dialogs never stop to show us that cinema is actually a visual art even troubles are not convincing because we don't see it we just understand it from his words the director his film as a righteous fight of ali against big ice cream companies but there is nothing in the film about big companies we don't see their pressure enough the film actually ali for believing that big companies are behind the and when his is found it every problem ali becomes a happy and powerful husband not a real criticism of br br second the film is cheesy because of the crude humor maybe the people of that part of turkey is so much and making so many vulgar jokes in their daily life but vulgar language and crude humor are not enough to make a film funny i may have accepted it if they were both vulgar and clever but they are not clever jokes at all they are just cheesy maybe i'm wrong maybe american people may like oriental version of american pie style humor but american pie never had any claim to be a for the oscars or to have a political message if you think that you can laugh by just seeing a man's big in his shorts and we had to endure this joke twice or an old woman saying f k you then you may find this film funny,negative +any film about wwii made during wwii by a british production company has no latter day in my opinion the of so many things near and dear to my heart are in at dawn we dive as a of nelson and student of all aspects of world war two and particularly naval i favor depictions of and action in the north atlantic and especially those which include the german side of things for those with target an attack on an enemy is the greatest event that a submarine can hope to encounter and such a rare opportunity would develop surprisingly similarly to what we see here the pacing is deliberate and typical of the works coming out of the ealing rank and british studios back in the day frankly i prefer its more cerebral approach for its humanity and realism that far better than any over produced hollywood movie ever could this reminds me of powell and the parallel thanks to the eric portman a favorite of mine john mills receives second billing and a smaller in the titles so this is clearly meant to be mr film but the whole cast shines as for the title sequence am i the only one who is utterly by lovely pre cgi girl,positive +not bad performances whoopi plays the wise warm role quite well still the storyline and situations can not be believed forced pc stereotypes at times it is good jews and blacks vs the evil white christians ho hum a typical hollywood fantasy the film does have its moments but it is not one that i would recommend to go out of your way to view,negative +after their star cross country runner dies after a race the members of a track team are stalked and killed by a mysterious masked murderer seeking vengeance for the girl's death br br from the beginning of this film it was quite obvious it was not going to be very good at least as far as true quality goes the track race at the end of the introduction scene was one of the least believable sporting events i've ever seen in a film it would seem that the winner of the race had never actually run before in her entire life not just run track but run at all ever from there we get a horribly unrealistic female navy member who was breaking numerous appearance rules with her jewelry and make up not to mention the fact that her hair was hanging loose onto her collar while in uniform ridiculously awkward camera angles done gore effects and acting that from over the top to under done all in one actor mind you all help to make this film one of the most unintentionally hilarious horror films ever made on the other hand the writing wasn't all that terrible and the story was actually okay but the direction was horrible made worse by bad cinematography the acting from acceptable to just plain abysmal regardless of all the embarrassingly bad elements however there's something here whether it be cheese or something else that i can't figure out that makes the film extremely enjoyable and very worthy of a watch maybe it was just white br br obligatory slasher elements br br violence gore death scenes were fun enough but the gore was just awful blood from impossible angles no actual or wounds from knives etc but this film has the first by scene i've ever seen br br sex nudity there was a bit of nudity i mean is in it after all and some overly horny high but nothing to excess br br cool killer s if you think leather stop watches track suits and masks are cool this one is for you br br scares suspense not really any at all there is one moment that takes place in the girls' locker room that i was preparing myself to be scared at but it just led to some typical stupidity and was ruined for me br br mystery a little but if you can't figure out the killer's identity about 20 minutes into the film then i'm not too sure about your powers of br br awkward dance scene there's a great jam session day blues with a guitar that leads to some awesome 80s this is followed shortly by some kind of weird blend of 70s disco and 80s break dancing that was probably the scariest part of the film br br final verdict 4 10 don't take it too seriously and you might enjoy it just like most everything else troma touches br br,negative +from the film's first shot knightley as elizabeth wandering reading through a field at dawn thus all the clichés cinema has developed to address the phenomenon of the strong minded rebellious female character in period drama i knew i was in for something to make me want to kill myself br br joe wright seemed not only to have not read the book but to be under the that what he was filming was not in fact jane subtle nuanced comedy of manners through delicate social interaction in century english drawing rooms but a sort of u heights thus we were treated to every scene between elizabeth and taking place outside for no apparent reason in rugged scenery and often in the rain not to mention that jane austen and in particular p p is not about passion sexual tension or love it's about different of the of century society which was completely ignored so that the house was a chaotic place where everybody shouts at once runs around leaves their underwear on and pigs wander happily through the house the society balls become country dances one step away from a matrix style dance orgy and everybody says exactly what they think without the slightest regard for br br the genius of jane austen lies in exploring the void created by a society in which nobody says what they think or mean because of an overwhelming regard for and the tragic of her characters from and by that speechless gap so both the brilliance of jane austen and the very factor that allows her plots particularly in this film to function was completely subtlety in general was nowhere his film sacrificed in favour of an overwrought drama which entirely with the material and the performances br br it was so obviously trying to be a serious film the humour which is pride prejudice both and her appeal was almost entirely in favour of all this faced melodrama and when it was allowed in was handled so clumsily pride prejudice is a serious narrative which makes serious points yes but those serious points and themes are not just with the humour they are in it you can't lose jane technique leaving only the bare bones of the story and expect the themes to remain not even when you replace her techniques with your own heavy handed mystical cinematography br br elizabeth bennett is supposed to be a woman an adult mature and sensible and clear knightley played the first half of the film like an empty headed and the second half like an empty headed who thinks she is a tragic heroine wit her verbal her quintessential characteristic of being able to see and laugh at everybody's including her own her strength and and her fantastic clear were completely lost and replaced with what a lot of and staring into the distance rather than being able to keep her head when all about her were losing theirs she started to cry and scream at the slightest and not genuinely raging either no these were fits and where the great strength of elizabeth at least in eyes was her ability to retain integrity and while remaining within the boundaries of society and elizabeth had no regard whatsoever for convention furthermore she seemed to think that wandering around in the mud in the century version of established her beyond doubt as spirited and strong minded and therefore nothing in the character as written or the performance had to sustain it an astonishingly and bland performance in which quest for and weakness she was matched by matthew br br donald sutherland as mr seemed weak and without the wicked sense of humour and ironic at the expense of human relationships that makes mr so fascinating and tragic his special bond with as the only two sensible people in a world of fools was completely lost not least because both of them were fools in a world of fools and that completely the end of the film of emotional impact mr was no longer and well meaning to the point of but was played as a complete for cheap laughs and the woman who was playing jane was so wildly inconsistent that she may as well not have tried to do anything with the character at all the script wildly between of jane austen delivered with remarkable and totally language which would not be out of place in a modern day romantic comedy br br just get the bbc adaptation on dvd and save yourself the,negative +a finds a young in need of help to young to be on his own the cat soon takes up with the rugged camp workers good time his antics everyone at first his wild nature eventually begins to cause trouble and him into his natural becomes an issue this film is among those wonderful disney nature films that were common in the 50's and 60's lots of action beautiful scenery and some endearing animal to charm you these films were not long but included fascinating glimpses into and the effects of human contact unlike disney's animated talking animals the animals in these films remained true to their own nature they also make great travel films for seeing the western states,positive +now you guys i

writing this as watching da,positive +one of the most unfairly of all time was also one of the most popular sitcoms of the and br br it started life as ever but when eric decided he didn't want to write any more it changed into this hence the dropping of and the becoming the br br yes it was domestic middle class stuff the plots ran the gamut of clichés from the boss coming to dinner the a sale and relatives coming to stay for the weekend it was certainly not lazy as for it being it was not meant to be it was funny and well performed and that was enough br br i too loved the boom of the 'the young etc but also enjoyed conventional stuff such as this if nothing else it provided alternative comedy with something to be an alternative to i found it sad though when the likes of ben took against both this and benny hill well family oriented comedy has all but from our screens but where has it left us take a look at the latest t v all and reality the few comedies left are aimed at teenagers meaning they are jam packed with swearing function jokes and explicit sexual references and they are not remotely funny either br br the boom was good in many ways but had a dark side it made conventional sitcoms appear old fashioned drove away talented writers and performers such as spike and ultimately led to such drivel as and heaven help us if it ain't broke don't fix it,positive +big spoiler this is a terrible movie with no likable characters so many clichés and senseless scenes it needs a good editor but then there might not be any movie left please save your two hours the only decent and unpredictable scene in the movie was when the younger brother refuses to stop his brother from killing himself the description read moments of dark comedy perhaps i missed those when i the horrible characters start right with the funeral the funeral goers are laughing and complaining about the food while at the funeral of a very young man who has committed suicide then the father makes at the only son left right at the funeral how is it that the next door neighbor whose husband cheated on her with character is the bad guy for telling the husband the father doesn't even know his son can play the piano though everyone else around him seems to know he is a great the movie tries to every dramatic cliché possible into one movie father over driving athletic son to succeed dysfunctional family losing a chosen son to suicide the son left feeling lost and alone drugs marital affairs child conceived via affair but raised as husband's son incest homosexual bullies possible illness etc etc etc do not waste your 2 hours,negative +i am very impressed by the reviews i've read of this film generally well read thoughtful and informed obviously by people who like and think hard about films i couldn't add a thing to the excellent reviewing job that imdb members have already done if i may i'd like to correct a small but that appears in many of the reviews mr baseball was american and in an ugly fashion but he was not an ugly american the original ugly american was homer one of the heroes of the eponymous 1958 novel by and and the exact opposite of mr baseball homer was an american and an engineer he went to vietnam to work with people he respected and liked the people he met he used appropriate technology in with his and he was liked and respected by them precisely because he values and american virtues his was purely facial merely skin deep his personality and his humanity were deep and genuine br br mr baseball all the crass ignorant insecure that we europeans and americans so often on other cultures homer the ugly american was the other side of our representing our humanity and decency i believe that the ugly americans still far the mr they are still our last best hope,positive +you'd have more excitement cutting off your than watching this clearly a trick to get you to rent descent instead of the descent which is a much better movie br br this is a total rip off of the core and much much worse as regards special effects i could do better with a box of and a roll of i mean come on that mole thing bore more resemblance to a than a vehicle br br don't watch it if you do you'll find the room your in has a funny smell for days after and you'll have this feeling in the back of your head that you should go kill yourself or something,negative +movie title br br date of review 5 26 br br year of movie 2001 br br stars brad phillips barely griffith barely br br rating 4 out of 10 br br may contain spoilers br br plot br br an wants to be with the in group and so she her real friends and joins them much annoying rich people talk occurs acting br br ugh i guess i got what i wanted in that was ok but man the rest of the cast besides maybe brad were bad or at least not interesting or likable at all i know some could say that the others were good because they made me hate them trust me i like unlikable but this group is unlikable because they can't convincingly be bad people br br it figures that the only other people i got this for were barely even in it and that is griffith and phillips but the little time they had they were ok spoke maybe 2 lines but at least had a good character although small br br violence and gore br br my mind was constantly under attack from horrid dialogue and very very annoying characters that's violence enough ok there was one with a rock which was ok br br t a nudity factor br br they couldn't even add in any nudity to help spice up this movie probably because no one would want to bear their body for this crap if they are going to expose themselves they should do it in a movie where they will be remembered as their character and not for oh hey i heard she gets naked in this one br br overall view of the movie review br br ok ok i know i pride myself on being the person who can like most if not almost all movies or at least find some good in it well this movie is one of the few i really to find anything worth while in the problem with this movie is that it is so damn annoying i already have a deep hatred for rich people attitudes and that didn't help either all this movie really is is just a bunch of rich people sitting around acting depressed and stupid i can't stress the annoyance factor enough this movie tries to rehash the tried and true in group which can usually be done ok with little difficulty br br why do i not have a from the movie or the box cover well i felt this movie didn't deserve that glory so i decided to put a of the reason i rented this and that reason is none other than yes i too was by her in and thought she was so good that i decided from then on to check her out in any movie in which she acts at least i keep my promises and yes i have seen the majority of her movies minus a few hard to find ones she herself is a great actress and i would defend her but man she chooses some of the movies to star in this movie and are both in the same boat of but at least had a cool idea for a story and even some real good scenes br br also the dvd box tries to fool you into thinking that this movie has stars as well in it by putting griffith and phillips names on the front of the box if there's one thing that p s me off it's a movie that the names of stars on a box to make you think wow it has i wonder how good is in this one i saw in that movie and thought she was great only to have the big names in the movie for a total of maybe 10 minutes between the 2 actually had a part that semi meant something on the other hand only has 2 lines about granted i don't like that much but this is about and not star acting br br out of all this mess though props must go to brad for turning in an ok performance along with brad may be one very messed up kid in real life but at least he can act so the only reason this movie gets any is because i got what i basically wanted which was and brad also i had the added pleasure of seeing underrated actress phillips make me like her even more so even though i was annoyed throughout i still came out with some although this was pretty hard this time br br i recommend you to only see this if you've seen and know how good is or if you are some offbeat fan of brad or uber fans will be sorely depressed also if you're a fan of crappy movies like me please do not assume this be a guilty pleasure because you will feel guilty alright for the money spent on buying or renting br br some movies are so bad that they are good as the saying goes what they forgot to add was so bad that they are good to pass up br br,negative +i used to watch this show when i was growing up when i think about it i remember it very well if you ask me it was a good show two things i remember very well are the opening sequence and theme song in addition to that everyone was cast the writing was also very strong the performances were top grade too i hope some network brings it back so i can see every episode before i wrap this up i'd like to say that i'll always remember this show in my memory forever even though i haven't seen every episode now in conclusion if some network ever brings it back i hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good,positive +one of my co workers recommended this one that it was one of the most frightening movies she ever watched i checked it out together with my girlfriend and we gave up after 50 minutes or so br br yesterday i had a long talk with my co worker we're still friends br br this movie is as original as the latest film starring steven seagal it brings absolutely nothing original to the table the spooky parts have been done thousand of times before br br the biggest fault however is the painfully slow pace of this movie the periods between the scares are completely wasted with meaningless dialog and a lot of nothing br br 1 of 10,negative +br br i used to think reeves was the worst actor in hollywood i not so sure anymore willy gives some stiff competition with his i'm made of performance in this movie br br combine that with the fact that there is almost no plot and not a single likable character and it's pretty hard to recommend this turkey br br natasha tries her best but even julia roberts couldn't save this flick from obscurity br br avoid it unless it's really late and there's nothing else on oh heck in that case just read a book,negative +as a former player i feel like i can possibly answer some of the questions and confusion that has been put forward i think that i am also in a position to offer some insight into the club and back stories oh and this is gonna be a long post i can tell already br br first off the people who said that the movie doesn't show real have a valid point the movie is full of bad people in the wrong places and much much more if you want to know what a real game feels like you won't get the best idea from this movie but the thing is anything short of actually sitting down and watching a highlight reel or jumping into a game yourself is not going to be satisfactory it's hollywood not really how many sports movies really make you feel like you are in the game not many that i have seen i think it's important to keep in mind that the movie is about players much more than it is about br br next the is very much a part of it is not something that they just threw into the movie to be honest i don't know how the tradition got started but the all blacks in many ways the uniform is based off of the all blacks as well the movie did not do a good job of explaining the origins of the and to be honest i don't think that that is right but i can tell you that every member of the team knows exactly where it comes from and what it means as for the person from china who said that only a can perform a i would suggest that they take a look at the all blacks and tell me if they think that they are all believe it or not has a very large community and a good portion of them like and play for the local teams i myself am part whenever possible the is led by a the team does not do it because they think that they are they do it because of some of the issues shown in the movie the concept of and those who have gone before is a huge part of the culture and the message behind the for any of those that are familiar with it support those values it's a by a chief who thought he would die mate and those around him supporting him telling him he will live and him up how appropriate it is for a bunch of white boys to do it is not for me to say but that is the ideology behind it and why it is done is also a well used team even if the actors had a hard time saying it br br also for the people who playing ability i would just remind you that you were not really watching play in this movie many of the extras were former players from and other teams but the main characters were all actors believe it or not really is pretty good at what they do and pretty well respected in the international community granted some years produce better teams than others it's what you would expect with any sports team but you don't win record by just being okay the year after i 1998 was one of 12 teams to be invited to the world schools championship in the teams were hand picked from around the world and represented the best of high school talent at the time obviously didn't win first place new zealand did that but they did manage to take third place in the beating the national in their last match and while american may never reach the level of talent that new zealand or south africa has third in the world is also nothing to hang your head about also has a tradition of new zealand every few years and usually comes back with more wins than br br the majority of characters portrayed in this movie are based off of real people and real stories i watched this movie with my brothers who also played for and between the four of us we were fairly certain that we were able to identify almost every main character nobody knew a white of course as this wasn't a documentary hollywood did take some liberties but to tell you the truth not as many as you might think the film was actually pretty accurate in showing the 2 and a half hour daily practices as well as the mandatory personal running and weight training sometimes it really was running until you threw up it also showed the service and other team activities like the chuck a that were very much a part of team bonding br br and finally the movie in my obviously very biased opinion it was a pretty good movie and i think that the reason for it is that i watched it as an inspirational sports movie i didn't think that it would be a pure movie or an academy award winning drama it was just an uplifting movie about a team complete with morals and a good dose of jokes thrown in for entertainment i hope that i addressed some of the problems that people have had with the movie and hope that you can now enjoy it for what it was br br,positive +while and amusing for gay audiences frank film in and out about a gay teacher who has been on national television by a former student has been and to appeal to the larger and more straight viewers that the bird cage although audiences likely themselves on the back for being and liberal enough to see the film the movie revolves around kevin howard who is a grossly stereotyped gay man the movie that a tendency to dance to disco music in barbra streisand movies and dress well one's sexual like eye the film actually takes a slap at straight men and stereotypes them as dim witted and lacking in taste and culture ok so in and out is only a comedy but even comedies send messages that can hurt br br unfortunately at the center of the film's humor lies a somewhat pathetic character howard is middle aged deeply or in self denial and evidently has never had a sex life a three year engagement to a female teacher in the school where he works is described as a series of long talks and watching funny lady fortunately joan cusack plays intended emily and she steals the show throughout most of the film's funniest moments belong to her although attempts to resist dancing during an tape on macho behavior are hilarious he is a gifted physical performer but the film gives him only few moments to shine matt dillon also stands out as the student turned actor and the clip from his oscar nominated film about a gay soldier is hysterical however despite the movie's gay theme there is no boy meets boy romance and only one male to male kiss and that is about as erotic as the one between michael and in godfather ii br br although well in and out fails to address the and prejudices that it illustrates howard is fired from his teaching job despite his outstanding performance and yet little outrage is expressed most of the characters are more upset about the cancelled wedding than about self realization which seems to take place overnight and his abrupt and not surprisingly parents portrayed by debbie reynolds and and his students rise to support him however the finale is as embarrassing to the audience as it evidently was to howard in the film the movie would have been more refreshing if it had around a gay man who dressed like a was a fan of football drove a station listened to country music and lived on fast food despite some good performances and funny situations in and out stereotypes and whether they be positive or negative stereotypes should be to the of social history,positive +shameless waste of my time as a viewer this is one of the worst films i've seen in ages please do not rent it as you will regret doing so guaranteed i wonder how kathleen turner ended up in this she is a legitimate actress and people would perhaps be attracted to this film because of her but it really is better to act as if this title was never made it should not have come into existence,negative +from tv guide br br this week on the love boat captain has his hands full when a gets on board with an unexpected join the captain and julie in a fun filled halloween special guest starring a guy in a really bad lizard suit as the br br this is typical lame sci fi channel cut rate fare the captain of a cruise ship played by the once respectable john rhys davies is in charge of a carnival cruise along the coast of mexico his daughter is along for the ride and she's her keep by being the pay attention everyone that will come in handy later it should be noted that the daughter is pretty and painful to watch it would have been good if she might have taken a couple of classes before trying to play an in a movie br br captain stupid and his daughter join mrs from island a and a dark mysterious stranger on this 90 minute ride into boredom br br that's right i said he keeps mentioning that he brought some precious on board that he needs to check out needless to say the box contains a that somebody decides to let out from this point on a man in the rubber suit runs around the ship killing people captain stupid is to stop it he decides to call in the marines but telling them that there are a bunch of terrorists on his ship br br the marines respond they say all that marine speak stuff like and get some but those silly marines are no match for a they don't really tell anyone where they're going either so there's no help in sight i guess no one will really miss some lame of lost marines but don't forget captain daughter is thankfully a for little stupid she comes in right in the nick of time she beats up the goat sucker and saves the day means goat sucker therefore suck but there's no way that suck anywhere near as much as this movie,negative +it's partly bad luck for that it comes out after shakespeare in love as it deals with virtually the same themes of life as art art as life and the magic of the theatre and the same of theater folk but a whole lot more br br there are scenes that come alive as a play develops and gets by a writer's life but there's a whole lot of orson welles ish ego in this produced by directed by lead acted by john as a vehicle for his wife with an adorable cameo by their son br br each actor gets his her moment literally in the spotlight but there's so many or set pieces that seem like 19th century games bill irwin talks susan sarandon gets to be a christopher walken gets to be a different kind of villain a gay critic the women have to unnecessarily because this is an art film br br the art and set direction are marvelous though quite dark this should get an award as the best use of a jersey city theater as a set ever in a movie originally written 8 21 99,negative +what crack are you smoking this movie while entertaining is awful br br the action scenes are so obviously fake it's kind of sad the daughter is painfully irritating the ninja training camp is so hilarious it is almost not worth mentioning and when joe puts the bucket over his head and beat up the other army guy i just about myself i could go on br br entertaining arguably so good no well made certainly not br br as a commentary on america as empire it's actually pretty good joe as a typical white isn't all that surprising especially in the context of mid 1980s american cinema,negative +by far this has to be one of the worst movies i've ever seen in my life i watch practically every movie that is on at night either showtime hbo etc three aka survivor island keeps you in as much suspense as watching paint dry only to let you down even more miserably if you want to feel like you just wasted what seems like an eternity on the worst film ever created then by all means watch this movie i must have screamed at a minimum times from the idiotic twists if i had 4 hands i'd give this movie 4 thumbs down br br in my personal opinion i believe the only people who would like this movie are those with terrible morals,negative +if i was british i would be embarrassed by this portrayal of incompetence a protection agent of the special branch unable to defend herself against a sick and the home office sends a single science to investigate a possible level four and that doesn't have the sense to wear even a mask and totally london police officers working side by side with in full suits the and his bodyguard the of a doctor on human subjects without any one wonders whether the producers could not afford to hire any technical or if for some reason they decided to portray the principals as hopelessly incompetent even my wife who has no background in either medicine or law was rolling her eyes in disbelief after the first episode i was now that i have seen two episodes i give up,negative +the squad gets started the of the without even bothering to develop any of the characters or show us why anyone is doing what they are doing br br moreover most of the events in the movie seem to the plot without even a of character development the plot from gen x club scenes to action scenes and back again br br,negative +hey i really do not know why this film has been appreciated so much perhaps i missed the point the way i see it a lot of international film makers have made brilliant films that have dealt with and have informed excited shocked emotion and compelled the audience to step aside from their own reality and think while it is true that was an ambitious one in light of all the other movies this one falls short miserably it was too slow there were no details about anything and the ending was completely pointless it was not open ended or anything just pointless so watch it if you want to see a good concept completely wasted,negative +a wonderful story so beautiful told so intense so no keyboard to describe i think go see it feel it it a story about love romance war and be trail so wonderful so full of romance if you love romance see it if you don't love romance drama well skip it that's all i can i vote 10 out of 10 stars wonderful,positive +it's certainly a direct to video but the story is not as bad as most of the other reviewers think i quite like the fact the hero is doing the wrong thing most of the time br br the hero's reactions and the reactions of the rebels are just human the hopper character is actually playing god that might be the right thing to do but one may not like that anyway br br in the end the god player is doomed to death and the hero who would have spent his own life can live quite a br br the most unrealistic thing i saw is that earth is doing so well with no moon its,negative +i have decided to this show from my memory down the toilet of bad tv show into the obscurity of disappointing pointless garbage tv show hell br br the guy who is the host star creator of this show is boring uninteresting unbelievable not particularly good looking and not at all funny in short why is this guy on tv and especially why is he in a comedy show when he's not funny pretending to be a professional con man when he definitely is nothing but an obvious others have said it here already but this guy is a total fake and fraud if you believe any of these cons i think you should seriously consider going to get your head checked because they're all fake and the ones that might possibly be true are so pointless like spending all day to con someone out of giving you an average meal at a restaurant seriously this guy needs to go away glad this show got,negative +i want to say i liked this film i really do but when it down to it it was just far too boring it starts off looking promising and even once they get inside the mines the creepy atmosphere and mood is great the problem is the monster or lack of it as people have said it's a stop motion monster but that's not the problem stop motion can look great if done properly the problem is that we don't see enough of it and we don't get to see any deaths this is meant to be a horror film so a lack of monster and a lack of deaths equals boredom there were some scenes i liked such as when one girl is using her camera in the dark and the monster is coming towards her there are also a few other creepy scenes but they are far too few to hold your interest and definitely not worth watching the film for it's a shame because i can see that had it been handled correctly it would've been an effectively creepy horror flick the saddest thing is that films like this will never be made again because film makers over polish their films these days and rely on crappy cgi effects,negative +inappropriate the pg rating that this movie gets is yet another huge by the mpaa whale rider gets a pg 13 but this movie gets a pg please parents don't be fooled taking an school child to this movie is a huge mistake there were numerous times i found myself being uncomfortable not just because the humor was inappropriate for kids but also because it was totally out of the blue and unnecessary br br but all that aside the cat in the hat is still a terrible movie the casting and overall look of the movie are the only saving the beautiful kelly preston and the always likeable or in this case alec baldwin are both good in their roles even though preston is almost too beautiful for a role like this the kids are actors and it shows especially with fanning fanning is the only human aspect of the film that kept me watching and not throwing things at the screen br br did i mention there was an talking cat in this movie mike myers is absolutely i didn't like him as the voice of shrek and i truly believe now that myers should not be allowed near the realm of children's films ever again his portrayal of the cat is a slightly toned down version of fat bastard and austin powers br br in the end the cat should not have come he should have stayed away but he came even if just for a day he ruined minutes of my life minutes of personal anger and br br the cat in the hat may be the worst kids movie ever,negative +an unusual western well worth watching despite a slow start the film builds – with any dialogue and no subtitles – an increasingly involving and intense almost existential portrait of life in the harsh environment of the western desert the growth of the lead characters is worth waiting for and the strong central cast bring a real sense of desperation to the struggle for of the all important horse how interesting that this was made by a british director i hope he's smiling now i get the impression the film was largely ignored by but time works its usual and hidden gold shines out as it inevitably must one note for me the is only carried so far sam as an indian granted he plays his part with real emotion and intensity but really couldn't one american indian actor be found to do the job but his scenes with caroline have an which nicely with the immense landscape around them br br forget big hollywood versions of the past men with big and music this one is all about a struggle between protagonists who stripped of all the of life come to understand what is worth fighting for impressive,positive +in a lot of ways this film the essence of everything i love about cinema in terms of capturing those strange moments of truth in other ways it is undeniably an amateurish result of self around with a camera ultimately it comes out somewhere between pure brilliance and thankfully much more so the former than the latter part of me wants to reward it solely for it's absolute and moments of pure but at the same time i can't completely ignore the occasionally downright awful acting and overtly bad production values at first the editing seems sloppy and needlessly distracting or maybe just innovative but after a while i got used to it which is in the end the true sign of whether a film succeeds on it's own terms or not i guess that answer basically sums up my all around feelings for the film that is despite it's in flaws on a whole it does work very well and if nothing else a film like this really shows how false and contrived the faux documentary shaky style can sometimes be when it so obviously applied purely for effect such as in films like the otherwise admirable roger here the are derived from the of the filming situation and are not just used to make it look cool,positive +you have to acknowledge contribution to cinema he gave us both the most over rated film in history the deer hunter and the worst film in history gate and before you start with the bad but not the worst let me explain br br for 20 years i listened to the critics and avoided gate actually this was not hard because you are hardly with opportunities to view this film then a few days after seeing the cut the making and of documentary i stumbled on a used 9 99 dvd of the long version my advice after minutes is to seek out the most negative review ever written about this film you will find a wide selection and imagine that the reviewer is devoted mother and that she is doing everything she can to put a positive on her dear son's movie then you will have an idea of just how big a mess made br br while pretty much everything is wrong with this film what ultimately the scale to make it the worse ever and a classic than example is its shameless of history although the association did send a group of to johnson county and did have a list of targeted names the actual facts of an interesting historical event are hopelessly exaggerated on the morning of april 9 nick ray and champion were and eventually killed by an army of about 50 and texas hired guns who had come to johnson county to clean out the citizens of the county then the who finally were arrested or rescued by the army women did not participate in the fighting and aside from ray and champion there were minimal after all these were not and there were not of immigrants riding in circles around the of early westerns to the contrary this was a film making device and not an actual of the indians and weeks prior to the arrival of the a number of johnson county residents were without trial including jim the keeper of a modest road ranch and his wife ella watson who as his two leads and he even shows living to a old age br br there is no movie making sin greater than history if you are going to play fast and loose with historical facts then change the names and locations to protect the unsuspecting audience members who might go away from a film believing what they saw actually happened fortunately so few people saw this film that the damage was minimal perhaps it is harsh to blame for his of history he could probably escape blame anyway with an insanity defense the film provides plenty of support if was insane during the production of gate it would explain a lot of things but my vote goes to of directing instead of insanity br br there are some good things about gate you can actually see on the screen where some of the huge budget went expensive sets beautiful epic camera shots dance sequences isabelle a strange casting choice that actually worked gives an and likable performance although most of her scenes are extremely boring that tends to happen when the director forgets to give the viewer any reason to care about the characters the dialogue is generally solid if rather ordinary br br but don't fall for the crap that this film experiments with storytelling by carefully crafted moments of character interaction with like explosions of action this implies that there was a method to madness is another word for when a filmmaker gets so lost in his project that a coherent story is no longer possible the simple fact is that there is no evidence a single scene or made any attempt at control or organization what it looks like is that he just turned his loose to stage action and to get an endless selection of colorful shots 1 5 million feet of loosely staged scenes then he tried without success to this down and fit everything together in post production br br the final battle scene is genuinely hilarious as wearing perhaps borrowed from a on the company throw countless sticks of dynamite at the unfortunately each explosive falls just short of the target and explodes after you see this happen 50 60 times you can relate to the woman the one who looks like something out of 'the of who puts a huge gun in her mouth and pulls the trigger this is probably what mother did after writing that review br br so believe what you have been hearing about this film since 1980 it is a sloppy poorly paced and historically distorted mess of value only as a not to make a example for film historians and as a source of amusement to those about the actual history of the american west,negative +ok if you are a fan of mystery science theater 3000 and love to mock movies then you will have a lot of fun with this otherwise it may really be too painful to see br br plot obsessed a huge containing a onto a cruise ship apparently not having to it at customs or even mention that he's bringing aboard a live animal no really it's research equipment the air holes are just an accident some he hired to it open the he paid of money maybe

u s marshall since he was in the war not just some guy named marshall is on board investigating some money that went missing from the safe he's posing as an insurance salesman lady i'm the best insurance you've got other characters include the captain john rhys davies and sadly his dignity is the first victim of the film his bo daughter bo an annoying old stuck up lady with a tiny dog which should be fed to a cat guess what eats it and an incredibly unpleasant who might have been believable in a movie made in 1964 not in anything more recent much of the acting was really bad and the characters were just there so that you can laugh hysterically when they died br br overall bad bad on many levels bad bad bad what bullets don't even make but the bo bimbo can punch him and scare him away hey sci fi channel you desperate for scripts or what,negative +will smith is perfectly endearing as the relationship doctor here to all your relationship br br i expected this to be a standard with little to i'm happy to report that i was wrong will smith is delightful and unexpectedly fresh in this andy vehicle surrounded by a great supporting cast an interesting story and fed with witty dialog i was thoroughly engaged br br we found this one cute quirky and inspirational without being preachy br br it rates a 7 4 10 from br br the fiend,positive +well wright may have made a gritty depiction of life around as he so repeatedly and goes on about because of when it was written as opposed to published but it is his not and shouldn't claim to be an adaptation br br mrs bennett looks like a rural this is a woman they have servants remember the book scene with the servant dressing the hair etc but wright portrays her with rough skin all down her chest rough hands and working in the kitchen and the pigs wandering through if he wants he should try tess br br mr bennett the script makes too and modern and ignored the weakness in him the scene where he stops mary playing is supposed to make you cringe not pass in seconds if it doesn't don't include it br br is very weak in the part and seems to be doing some kind of pride by numbers acting the first he looks like a nervous rather than a man his pride to make a beneath his station most of his lines he could as well be reading a shopping list br br is awful completely over the top with excessive and skipping indeed knightley plays elizabeth more like the inane character actually is in the book at times br br and elizabeth half the time knightley is clearly voice and close your eyes to see what a copy it is and in her role you see major error there is no prejudice br br from the first encounter with she clearly him when he comments to on the of the women in the hall she initially looks hurt not shocked and the latter should set up the prejudice side of things and when she and are round the room she comes across like a obviously all over him and by virtually cutting out you don't get elizabeth invested enough there to set up the aspects falling out of that relationship br br and apparently it is caroline not miss and mr happily wanders into jane's bedroom and and and wright can about how great he is with period all he wants but a few shots of rural life which show the for hardy don't excuse him the glaring all over the place br br the cinematographer who clearly wants awards should have been in he between and hardy throughout the film and wasn't the last shots lighting from tess the need to see walk along through the with shirt was just dumb but most importantly when going between those 2 very different landscapes they forget the most important one austen she'd have laughed out loud at the elizabeth sad therefore rain running through to wet rubbish br br i admit i found it impossible the watch the film without using the book as context i was prepared to give it some as it had to provide the story in a short space of time but to forget fully one half of the core of the book in prejudice and to continually look more than made it almost unwatchable i could only see it as a mess with generally poor performances when knightley wasn't she was or skipping or both and only down a couple of times to indicate she does have some promise but about on to convey emotion isn't a substitute for a poor script and poor direction although for some it was simply a case of bad script br br tom holland alone would escape while he toned down the comic aspects of collins he did turn in a very interesting approach does superbly the she can do in her sleep whether it be here or in oscar but this was supposed to be lady catherine de not lady she was just a little too sane br br the length could have been handled by a competent screenwriter surely not characters filling in story gaps and helping along the audience all over the place elizabeth couldn't have come up with the figure and while they wanted to cut time with her learning of involvement in marriage the lines didn't fit with it was the worst case of exposition in the piece br br it really is appalling stuff anyone who reviews it saying it works well in the context of the book is someone i frankly don't believe has read or understood the in the thing wright seems to think his characters are in the 1990s not the from their behaviour i'm not convinced he has read the book he certainly doesn't understand it he doesn't understand wit or of touch he certainly made a dull plodding film out of it br br what is possibly worse was the sad pathetic need of the chick lit lovers to need the 'i love you i love all over the place so they can sigh and get off on it the fact that it has no place in a work by austen is apparently irrelevant br br anyone who reviews it as a film alone well more difficult for me except i would note the poor acting the weak and the skipping inane of the whole thing if you are going to adapt you can change a lot but if it loses the spirit and key motivations then don't insult the book by taking it's title,negative +the only redeeming scene in this movie is when the robots are sent out to fight there was one good spinning side kick and that is the best 3 seconds of the movie unfortunately the rest of the movie has very little to recommend it there are better spoofs out there,negative +the summary line is some men's wet dream for the ideal woman o seriously though back to the movie which has classic cinema written all over it pun intended and quite literally shown in the picture too as you'll see br br how could someone make a silent movie in this year and age it's not completely silent for once take the music for instance with great cinematography is the answer and it's no wonder that it did win as another user stated in this area but it's also sometimes it's downfall although the pictures are great it sometimes too much in them instead of moving forward plot and time wise if you can cope with that than you'll enjoy it even more than me i haven't told you anything about the story but i'll never do that because i don't want to spoiler anything for you,positive +this isn't a dreadful film merely insipid the plot is deeply flawed and implausible it tries to be a number of genres and fails at each it fails as a comedy as a suspense thriller and as a horror movie it almost succeeds as science fiction the direction is uninspired and katie holmes cute face that she is should be teen clothing not acting the only thing that keeps this movie from being a 1 out of 10 is helen her performance is and is almost worth suffering through the rest of it her ability to from to faux sympathetic to manipulate and control her prey shows masterful range other than delightful exorcist rendition is the only reason to see this movie a solid 3 0,negative +spoilers bruce willis the part time comic and funny guy plays a hispanic assassin after an african dog i guess all the good hispanic like snake whip blade etc were not available and why would some south american assassin be with a terrorist from the irish army last time i checked the ira is not looking to open any branch in south america and why would some prison tough battle weary irish terrorist look like a middle aged richard gere i thought maybe this movie was going to be a spoof of the crying game when character was introduced as the person who was going to hunt down the what bad casting and why would the fbi be hiring terrorists in order to track down it seems like a terrorist goes for mass destruction and an assassin usually hits one target in a non spectacular manner but gere is the only person who has ever seen willis alive according to the fbi i thought this movie was supposed to be a remake of the very great film day of the but this movie is just a dumber version of with stallone and both of these movies are really dumb and part of the dumb is the fact that as the audience we are forced to watch bruce willis go through his routines and we should say wow isn't he smart the professional with jean reno was a much better movie about the is just a movie about two fat middle aged millionaire actors who could get paid for standing around looking pretty and pretending to be smart the is so poor that i expected to see sly stallone dennis mickey rourke and jean van making cameo appearances as other or fbi needless to say the has the fbi for twenty five years but as soon as richard gere gets on the job it is only a few days before the is i guess the positive message of this movie is thanks to terrorists our streets are safe from overall the has no redeeming qualities,negative +my husband received dvd of for christmas and it was the best gift we received we watch it every time we need to laugh and so far we have viewed it 12 times the scenery in this movie is beautiful and the music is outstanding we also purchased the soundtrack and we play it in our vehicles and at home when ever we need a pick me up and that too is daily if anyone needs a suggestion for a good gift for movie lovers this movie is it the characters are hilarious charming and their facial expressions are too funny to describe i have always been a fan of george clooney but now i am also a fan of tim blake nelson and john pete and am now looking for them in other movies you gotta see this movie,positive +how does anyone keep on seeing horror movies after this one really this one it's so bad that makes me sick and love horror movies but come on who could had remembered to do such a awful movie it as no history it's only a men who chases a bunch of teenagers because they take something from him and what have they took gold it's typical the movie is boring from the beginning until the end and what is karen black who is a great actress doing in such a ridiculous movie like this but what can i say i think everyone should see it because my opinion is my opinion may be you would like i don't think so but,negative +next stop on our journey through the slasher scene is oh yes day all of those just with possibility and ready to venture out into the real world and become adults that is however if they can make it to without having to with the campus lunatic who's running around the life out of students with his sword yeah it all from a the high school track star who drops dead from a blood during a race and a year later her older sister returns home from the navy for the track coach holds the blame and in his position in shop class while the girl's boyfriend still her death a year later all of these characters are prime candidates for serial slasher of the year and you just have to sit through this movie until the end to find out who done it day is fun though it isn't spell original by any means and there aren't a whole lot of memorable but there is enough going on to keep you mildly entertained like the music teacher and getting with a joint 30 year old actors playing teenagers and of course gotta love that crap you can do a lot worse than day,negative +br br the best part about driving an vehicle is that if any approach you at a red light asking for money you can shoot them in the face br br and while the guards in this thriller aren't using their protective power to the drifter population they are using their position to their br br when newcomer short lands a job with an company he feels like he has found his lot in life unfortunately however when he discovers that his co workers matt dillon jean reno and laurence fishburne are plotting to take the m for themselves must himself – and the – inside the truck br br a tedious caper with a plodding plot and in performances is an utterly forgettable film br br besides if you really want to jack millions it's a lot simpler to just disguise yourself as an red light,negative +the of comic strip alex raymond flash gordon was the grand daddy of all sci fi epics this serial is the first time flash was brought to celluloid life despite it's low budget this is a great space opera br br the story begins with earth doomed to apparent destruction when the planet comes through space on a course maverick scientist dr is headed off for the approaching planet in a self made rocket ship convinced he can do something to stop the runaway body he gets some last minute in the form of flash gordon and beautiful once they reach their problems really begin they run of emperor the of his world who has some ambitious plans for earth br br the rest of the serial revolves around desperate attempts to save the earth the alien cultures he encounters the allies he makes space ships he flies the battles he fights and the monsters he br br brilliantly conceived by raymond flash gordon features classic from legendary and of of famous tales like the of and and forrest are seen here you have the dashing handsome hero on a quest to save the kingdom flash the evil king the old wise man the lovely damsel in distress the seductive aura loyal allies plus monsters dragons and br br flash is a modern robin hood jason or beowulf is prince john or is helen of or or maid marion is or or are the merry men or the knights of the round table br br you get the idea br br you can't help but notice how many ideas from flash gordon would later in star wars the cloud city the ice world the forest moon the opening text from the second serial there are others but you get the the whole sci fi genre owes a great debt to this timeless classic br br buster is the perfect action hero and i personally think he's better at this sort of role than any of the current crop of action stars he also played buck rogers and tarzan br br charles is the of diabolical as sure he seems a bit melodramatic today but that was what audiences expected from their bad guys in the 30's br br jean rogers is our hero's love interest and i had such a crush on her when i first saw this as a boy i can readily understand why flash always rushed to her rescue she's the quintessential good girl to the seductive of aura the quintessential bad girl br br the supporting cast seemed perfectly chosen to their comic strip counterparts and despite the now silly looking there was a lot of thrilling action in this groundbreaking serial br br an all around fun romp and the beginning of the sci fi genre in cinema,positive +honestly i don't really understand why there has been so much controversy about this show it the elements of the original while on them the storytelling has been updated and while some of the episodes seem to be a bit fast that is a good thing br br christopher is perfect in the role easily as good as tom baker br br rose is one of the best companions on par with sarah jane smith or br br i like the concept that the have been destroyed no more with the doctor acting as president and it adds something to the character to be the only one left br br the are outstanding especially in comparison to the original br br take it from me and i was a huge dr who geek i actually took notes while watching the show all the way from dr number 1 to dr number 8 i tossed the horrible movie out of cannon personally this is the best sci fi show on tv right now possibly ever watch it and buy the dvd,positive +one of the on the subject of of got it right when he she stated that the movie is really bad but i take exception when he she commented on the animation br br the animation wasn't bad because of flash it was bad animation because it was directed wrong flash is just a tool in the right hands an artist can create animation as full and fluid as any disney film and in the wrong hands it can look as bad as the stuff on the internet which is where and should've stayed there br br studios such as cartoon network disney and warner bros create wonderful animation using flash i e home for imaginary friends etc br br was an ill conceived piece of tripe that was made because revolution studios bought media and was one of the included roth and company thought they'd make a quick buck a turd like and the was by it's producer amy the reason for this third abortion of an animated film is that none of the executives at revolution studios had the brains to mark brooks and peter they really tried their best but were way in over their heads and hire real writers directors and at least a semi competent producer they did one thing correctly though they hired some of the best and animators in la but as demonstrates one can buy the best sports car on the floor but if you're a moron you'll wreck it for sure,negative +along with cops the goat is one of keaton's two funniest shorts which makes it one of the best shorts ever made this has an decent plot for a short and it forms a perfect line on which to hang some great gags keaton is mistaken for an escaped convict how the mistake happens is a classic and then must the authorities best gags the bread line and t he elevator,positive +i have tried watching this show on several different occasions and each time found it to be utterly pale of humor br br the reason to mention one thing is that it is solely based on anything the have done in short it is basically party political opinions as humor br br all mr stewart does is about anything the have done and the audience themselves in of forced laughter br br my guess is that the left is so devoid of any real substance that they have to define themselves in terms of how much they all hate br br br br br br my faith http www com,negative +starting with a poem and images of american starving children and i quickly realised that this was not going to be a objective documentary 5 convicted after the are interviewed and give a very confused why they had to trash the and then oh my god actually have pay for what they have done i kept watching and many questions are raised were the trial properly done and did the cops have the right to do what they did lots of questions asked and then dropped no interviews with judges or going through documents about the trial nothing br br in short nothing new from what every has seen on tv a hundred times just poor propaganda,negative +this is a very visual film by that i mean that the dialog is sparse almost to the point of being a silent movie for some very long takes beginning with the opening shot br br the however are broken by a stunning sound track that from beats to a haunting mix of and interspersed with that sound like dreams it's a feast for the ears as much as for the eyes one of the early visuals being a man walking along a street so with his interest in a woman that he walks into a one of the consequences of love and a metaphor for what lies in store br br a long time ago another movie – love story 1970 said that love is never having to say you're sorry this narrative turns that idea on its head in a number of ways beginning with the main character toni a seemingly long term resident in a hotel somewhere in switzerland everyday week in week out he sits at the same coffee table enjoying the passing world his his coffee his – and he's been doing it for ten years he sits he and once a week he in three very surprising activities that you'll find out about when you see this little masterpiece br br love is explored in another way in a direct to and reserved nature two older residents of the hotel are still much in love but the man wants to die in a spectacular manner when his time comes while his long suffering wife him for cheating at cards with the other guests one of whom is now knows about their their love the man's cheating his apologies to his wife and his whining how in a surprising and black comedic manner one of those surprise activities i mentioned br br but this is no comedy in reality although it does touch upon the idea of the human comedy in a sense the irony of life and what to do with it that decision had been made for ten years earlier when he left his wife and began to live in the hotel he keeps in touch occasionally and it is clear that he still loves his children now grown up and the sorrow in his voice speaks volumes but there's something more than just sorrow br br such a life as would obviously seem to be utterly boring and it actually is from many perspectives it is only when we learn what lies beneath his almost death like however that the horror of his situation hits the viewer between the eyes but not before we know that the female bartender olivia is very interested in and goes out of her way to interest in her br br and that's when things start to unravel for he eventually to her and in doing so discovers once again the consequences of love ironically in doing so he finally realizes what he must finally do with his life and in a most spectacular fashion br br i know that all of the above is somewhat but to say more would spoil the film and story for you if you like italian cinema – i love it – i urge you to see this one the acting is superb the sound track chills the spine the camera work is truly innovative the direction shows the maturity of a true artist br br i know i'll see this movie again and again,positive +these kinda movies just don't get the credit they deserve this is my 2nd all time favorite movie stand by me being 1st the reason i watched this movie was because was in it and he is my most favorite person in the whole world and i think he done an amazing job in this movie and so did sean i just watched it last night actually and it just amazed me everything in the movie is very exceptional the script the acting the screenplay i was on the edge of my seat 80 of the time and if my mom wasn't in the room i would have absolutely whenever joey died i did not see that coming at all i was real surprised when i heard that it wasn't real popular back in the 90's i was born a few years after it came out so of course i didn't go see it in the theaters but im sure i would have if i would have been alive if any of my friends watched this they would be like okay but thats just cause their not cool enough to appreciate work like this if you haven't seen this movie or are wanting to watch something that is the bomb this is the movie for you to watch,positive +one of the worst films i have ever seen after watching it i walk out like what happened i am confused to this day can someone explain that movie to me please both the acting and picture quality are so bad you'll think you're watching someone's school project made with a home camcorder first i can not believe that how some people could give 10 star to this movie because it's unbelievably bad movie this movie isn't scary at all there is even no typical horror clichés too the plot and acting of this movie was terrible it's not fantastic or horror it's just bad turkish feature film and finally there were a lot of unnecessary scenes and unnecessary characters when i watch i fell into so hopeless so sad for young turkish movie maker please please don't make like this,negative +i just came back from seeing this awesome movie i can relate to it so much it reminded me when my sister had to go to college we had to move from place to place and my mom acts like adele august boys might not like this movie since it brings tears to your eyes one of the best real life movies i've ever seen and natalie portman rules 10 10,positive +this is one of the most underrated movies of the 1990s if you allow yourself to identify with the patricia arquette character you will find it to be a very moving story of a woman a sense of purpose to her life and finding a new will to live br br performance is brave because it is wooden it's a way of defining her character's spiritual death her complete lack of a desire to be alive she moves through life like a zombie because her family has been murdered and she can't see the point of living what is moving is how in the course of the story she is by the landscape by the beautiful quality of its people and landscapes and by the primal choices she is forced to confront br br supports this visually and hans supports it with one of his most gorgeous haunting scores with an often static camera and with a to shoot through glass windows etc we are on the outside looking in just like arquette until she finds herself deep in the jungle and is forced to choose whether or not to fight for her life br br i recommend the 1954 movie the purple plain as well it's a similar story in a similar setting and makes for a fascinating comparison,positive +saw this last night at the nyc home film festival a rather that down for this sweet and touching two woman film br br the relationship between the two one older and blind the other a twenty something who helps her with her mail is established and its depth is readily apparent br br there are no car chases explosions or mind special effects just the sometimes difficult but rewarding task of humans reaching out toward each other to help and be helped br br see if it you can,positive +dallas stars gary cooper ruth roman steve barbara raymond massey it's directed by stuart photography is from ernest pen duties fell to john twist produced out of warner brothers dallas is vividly filmed in technicolor out of the warner in california very much a film with its tongue firmly in cheek the film is a to the westerns of that exist without or deep meanings br br the plot sees civil war fake his own death so as to kill off his reputation and to free himself for the pursuit into dallas of the brothers who his family in essence a routine plot story is up along the way by many a fun and exciting there's role dandy fashions shoot outs a love triangle dialogue and little twists to keep the piece purely from painting it by numbers br br cooper seems to be enjoying himself too which further enhances the feel good factor on offer it's true he isn't really asked to do anything more than be a dude on a mission but when called on for action duties he delivers the goods that his fans have come to expect during his successful career the villains entertain particularly steve vile and dopey because each have their own little to keep them from over familiar the two ladies of the piece look gorgeous and hold up well in amongst the while the high production value allows to really treat the eyes with the lush technicolor and involving camera work around the locations br br it has ideals to being an a list does dallas something it just can't quite but it's not for lack of trying and the end result is one of pure entertainment that in truth should be enjoyed on a cold winters day when the viewer needs a pick me up 7 10,positive +this film is remarkable in how it is this is the true story of one woman and one man and their quest for happiness amid the dull life of a housewife and man of the house it could be any couple any family in any town but that's what makes the story so moving it touches each of us in some way and reminds us of someone we know and love or of ourselves i laughed i cried i couldn't stop thinking about it and what more could you ask for from a film really especially a documentary this is an excellent film and one that i highly recommended to anyone who enjoys documentaries stories about families like yours stories about love life loss expectations soul searching yearning wandering through life and finding your way or not,positive +i saw this film at the film festival and would not recommend it it is two and a half hours long during which nothing much happens at a through pace br br the main characters are and totally lacking in charisma or personality no one smiles at all during the film neither would i if i had their lives and although domino seems to have a healthy sexual she doesn't seem to enjoy sex at all br br the whole experience is depressing and the director lingering over each scene in a way that drove me crazy rather than striking me with the beauty of his technique br br too many questions were left in my mind why does he the man's head why does he what is he looking at over the fence why does he kiss joseph why did we go and see this rubbish rather than another bottle of wine in,negative +i guess when people say this is beautifully filmed they are talking about the close ups of and the cooking of it certainly doesn't refer to the set which seems to be composed of about 3 rooms with no outside shots at all also all of it is filmed too close up br br i got sick of the little boy who keeps at or hot wax over ants also do spend all their time sitting on their kind of gross looking at least the way this movie depicts it one close up of it would have been plenty not a dozen or more br br then finally comes part two a chick flick for girls with the perfect handsome rich man who spends all day playing the piano he is the pretty maid steals him like the forbidden green fruit deep br br except for a few nice close ups this film is a dud it is sort of a soap opera with out dialog it is how is it beautiful the set looks completely fake br br no don't make the mistake i did and rent it because someone recommended it i was expecting beautiful shots of the mountains of vietnam or something when i heard it was a visual gem br br i wanted to like this movie i like foreign movies even prefer them but this movie is dumb and dull it will leave you irritated that something like this won a bunch of,negative +i find it remarkable that so little was actually done with the story of the a bomb and it's development for decades after the manhattan project was completed my suspicion is that this was due to serious fears in the movie and entertainment in the 1950s through the 1970s with and related national security including the hollywood there was one film in the 1950s with robert taylor about paul who flew the gay in the bombing but otherwise nothing else one could glance at a side issue tragedy the sinking of the u s s soon after the delivery of the bombs to in robert description of the shark attacks on the survivors in jaws but the actual trials and of and their team was not considered film able br br and then in 1989 two films appeared i have reviewed one already day one which i feel is the better of the two in discussing the lengthy technical and emotional and political problems in the manhattan project the acting of brian as general and david as was first rate and neatly balanced small side vignettes concerning the anti bomb of michael tucker help fill out the story well br br that's the problem here paul newman is a great actor as is mr but newman approached in a different way that while not dreadful is lesser than intelligent but soft spoken military newman seems too popped eyed about the possibility of the weapon as the biggest stick to confront the other boys in the after school yard with yes it certainly was but the real would have been more like keeping his mind not on that great toy of the future but on the business of creating that great toy br br dwight performance as helps maintain the film's basically interesting and good production aided by bonnie as his wife but the most interesting aspect of this film is in the of the two of and in particular the latter in the character of john inevitably in all technological advances people are killed it's just that these two on top of the of thousands that were lost in and brought home the dangers of the new unleashed power even in a so called peaceful controlled experiment the two particularly louis slow death by radiation showed how much care was needed in using atomic power and how the of chances could still cause disaster the only really different thing i saw in performance and the script and the actual incident with was that actually took some time after the accident to figure out where all his fellow research scientists were when they were hit by the radiation from the accident he was able to show that only he got the full effect of the accidental blast so that only relatively minor treatment would be needed by the others perhaps the full story of actions was too technical for the screen but given the pain he suffered in the end that he took time off to think of the others shows what a first rate person he really was,positive +i just re watched ms gundam for the 2nd time it is so much better than gundam wing i can't wait to get the dvd and see what was edited out of the series this is great to see the actually move about clumsily through the land somebody really thought over writing this move script br br see this today,positive +i decided to hire out this movie along with a few other old horror movies this was the worst some of the killings were good and a bit of humour but i stand this a killing happened they would show scenes of all these old movies that the killer used to be in i give this 2 10,negative +one of the best romantic classic teen is a film which is all about among equals your most soft emotion love this is a simple story of a middle class man who came into by his poetic talent and charming personality he is attracted towards three women and vice versa one a hindi movie star the second a rich lady and the third who lives in his neighborhood br br the situation put him in confusion as he has to decide one of them as his life partner he asked for few days from all of them ultimately he goes to a and asked him who he loves most his confusion is no more and he came to know the lady living in his neighborhood who really cares for him and loves him is his true love played the lead character and has fully justified his contemporary romantic image,positive +features a top notch cast of wonderful actors who been assembled for the perfect drawing room comedy alas they are pretty much wasted on a and a paper thin one at that hepburn is indeed as a old maid who finally marries but her husband is deeply disturbed and dark family secrets director minnelli has absolutely no idea how to this outlandish plot by edward from a story by thelma and the friendly first rate cast including robert taylor robert mitchum and edmund is left in murky waters from,negative +how pointless hideous characters and boring film saved by brief sex scenes mad witch gorgeous desert island and brooks body the plot is the characters are shallow and unlikeable having said that i did manage to watch it all mainly because i was totally by the and kind of hoping that her character would come good in the end the film was well shot well directed but perhaps the casting let it down in some ways disappointing really summed the review up in the first line but this website that you need to write 10 lines minimum it would be better to spend the time watching another film,negative +let me start out with saying i was very surprised with the production value of this movie i managed to catch an early showing and i have to say this is the best if not only christian film to hit theaters since the passion br br don't let the pg 13 rating scare you off the rating is appropriate because of the serious issues that are dealt with in this film divorce teen drug use and suicide but nothing in the film is gratuitous this is definitely a movie that a junior high youth group could see without most parents and the message is wonderful the best part is this is not a film for christians it is a family film without the cheesy heaven feel br br the laughs are there and several times in the theater everyone was laughing the bits of humor were natural and didn't seem scripted or forced and that made for good pacing in such a serious film teens and young adult both religious and otherwise will be able to identify with many if not all of the characters in the film and i was surprised to see such issues dealt with in this kind of film the plot is not in any way predictable and by the end hits closer to home than many will admit christians fortunately are not shown as all mighty know it of the word but instead people just trying to understand life humans make mistakes and no one is perfect not even in this film not by a long shot br br the acting is top notch the writing spot on and you aren't hit over the head with all the preachy christian this is a great film that will make you and your teens think talk and perhaps question their own morality or lack thereof if you want to see a quality family film in january check your local for this film and you might learn something about yourself br br and i am a 25 year old male that just wanted to see a free movie,positive +i have a old daughter and before this movie she was all about the disney now she watched this movie and all she can talk about is princess and all her sisters i definitely recommend this movie for all young girls this movie is one of the best from the collection it shows all the good values that any mother would love to encourage on there little girls with the great songs and dance moves it gets my daughter up and trying to the moves the extras are also good one even works on how good your memory is i would definitely have say it is a must see for kids and grown ups alike,positive +flowers if it's one thing you'll take away from this movie it's gonna be the flowers they feature so and are used as plot devices you'll become an expert in with daisies and black by the time the movie ends br br set in daisy tells the frustrating love triangle story between 1 girl and the 2 men in her life one a professional hit man out a living the other an agent featuring a pan asian cast korean hong kong and crew director andrew from hong kong writer from korea and a post production team i could imagine the in br br park woo sung is a hit man who found a soft spot for painter young played by the pretty it's love at first sight in the meadows of daisies where her caught his attention however being shy and ever of the dangers of his professional career he can only admire her from do little or perhaps big things for her in an anonymous fashion but the one that takes the cake is sending her daisies everyday without fail at 4 he becomes her guardian angel from her and keeping her safe from harm br br young is in love with this mysterious stranger she is constantly waiting for him to appear but i really wonder how difficult could that be given the almost daisy delivery nonetheless she's terribly moved and touched by this sole act however as the stars would have it detective woo lee sung chances upon young at a town square during one of his undercover missions and he too is captivated by her in a similar fashion because of his profession he is if he should make the first move br br which is where the audience would find it frustrating the lady obviously would fall for the wrong guy then again it's the good guy park being by pursuit but yet still refuses to step out and identify himself and woo being the in grabbing the free anonymous identity it's almost as if you wanna give everyone a slap to wake them all up br br that aside it is precisely this tension that keeps you intrigued and it is fun to watch the two male leads finding it tough to fall in love without their careers or their loved one but not action fans there are enough cat and mouse revelations and in the of affairs as well as ample although i felt the ending could have been scripted br br what rocks is the clever editing telling the story in a non linear no it ain't that bad you'll still be able to follow the narrative from the points of view of all the leads keeping you in suspense and culminating in a three way split screen all their emotions in a single event which i thought was extremely well done br br it's a beautiful film in terms of landscapes of lush meadows and busy city with plenty of classical music to the soul as with romance movies all the leads are eye candy the girls will have a field day with the two handsome male leads while the guys have to make do with a somewhat faced ok at certain angles br br if you're into a romance movie with an equal balance in the action tension department then daisy would be your choice if you prefer a more conventional then the other korean movie making its debut here at the same time you are my sunshine would be your alternative and yes i totally dig the ending scene which i thought only the do it best kinda reminded me of the one,positive +i like the wind and the lion very much it was a good movie i thought that since i'm young and it was made so long ago i wouldn't like it all that good but after i saw it i was amazed of how good it was my family liked it my friends liked it everyone i showed it to liked it i liked it because it showed how and people in was treated during the early by the germans french and even the americans if i was a high school history teacher i would definitely show it to my from a high point of view i give this movie a good 10 out of 10 my grandparents liked it so much they bought it for themselves my little 3 year old cousins even sit down and watched it br br,positive +for the most part romance films were never my cup of tea but valley girl is one of the few romance films i not only could sit through but actually enjoy nicholas cage is great in his first role and deborah is cute beyond belief there are some side stories that tend to become muddled but not enough to this film,positive +probably the best horror movie in 5 years there's been lame remakes attempts to make you scared when all they make you do is walk out of the theater and movies that just shouldn't have been made but this one is worth it the only reason i didn't give it a 10 is because paris hilton is in it but her death scene makes up for it believe me br br so here they are the spoilers of all the death scenes in the movie br br 1 my favorite death scene ever paris after finding her boyfriend blake laying on the ground with a knife sticking out of his neck starts to run well speed walk is more respectable she finds this like garage with all these cars in it then one of the killers cuts her from below this whole time holding a huge metal spike so she drops it and runs and hides behind this car the killer picks it up and as she looks through the window he throws it through the window and it shoots through her i've never been so excited or laughed so hard in my life br br 2 boyfriend blake gets a knife stabbed into his neck and then the killer walks up to him while hes on the ground and steps on it pushing it into his throat then he dies br br 3 elisha one of the chicks ever doesn't die but she does get her lips super glued together in the face and gets part of her finger chopped off yeah i felt like 4 twin brother nick also survives but not without getting his ass kicked and a stab wound to the leg br br 5 best friend dalton gets thrown down a flight of stairs and then is decapitated his body is dragged away and we see his eyes blink then he gets covered in wax br br 6 boyfriend gets his by a massive pair of and then is attacked by the same he doesn't die but hes covered in wax and on 2 occasions his skin is accidentally removed revealing his nasty bloody flesh br br so there it is definitely worth your money,positive +i am sorry but this is the worst film i have ever seen in my life i cannot believe that after making the first one in the series they were able to get a budget to make another not that the budget could have been much this is the least scary film i have ever watched and laughed all the way through to the end actually i can't believe we watched it to the end but i think it is because we couldn't quite believe it,negative +most people attending this film will have no idea of the great novel by arthur miller that is the basis of it it's a novel that should be read by more people to see how prejudice affects and peoples lives br br at the beginning lawrence newman is an ordinary man the his boss makes him get change everything he has worked for and his whole world around him little by little there couldn't have been an actor better suited to bring this intelligent performance to the screen than william h macy not only is he a talented stage and screen actor but he projects honesty behind every character he plays he is an everyday man caught in his own his anxiety when he takes a stand and walks out of his job suddenly he has to confront the issues he has tried to avoid all his middle class existence in the brooklyn of the 40s is he jewish is he not the cinematography in this brilliant and atmospheric film directed with sure hand by neil kept reminding me of some edward paintings especially a sequence at the beginning of the film when newman steps outside a building and the night shot when he and his wife are being followed with long black shadows behind the couple menacing and the confrontation with the bullies laura dern david and especially meat who incredible depth to the bully next door are excellent but they all pale in comparison with the stellar turn of william h macy h must stand for honest if you haven't read the book i would sincerely recommend it because no one has written more truly and convincingly than arthur miller has,positive +movie i have ever seen actually i find it one of the more entertaining episodes of 3000 i have seen not that it was good but for anyone who has seen the hands of fate knows this one wasn't two bad the monster in the movie looked terrible everyone wore swim suits and the plot was laughable i still don't have a clue as to why they made the monster they never really gave a good reason the lead female had to be the gal i have ever seen they would have done better if they cast the gal that was killed at the beginning as the lead on the plus side the acting was great,negative +there's potential in there with tell no one a curious and intriguing plot and a french take on a very american story but for me the opportunities were not here br br although i liked aspects of this film there were three prominent which pulled it right down to four out of ten br br firstly it's a silly clichéd murder mystery a particularly contrived murder she wrote or being french doesn't eliminate this problem it's just silly and in french at the same time it's full of implausible br br secondly the transition from the us to france seems to have failed this french doctor hanging out on the streets of a french city with his new and their and then there's the car chases br br but and mostly it's just too darn long to me a film needs a good reason to be significantly over 90 minutes and over two hours takes some serious justification this once didn't have it,negative +a british twist on harold and driving lessons features a in rupert and an over the top julie while it is true that is stone faced like a benjamin for the first half of the movie it does not from the quirky family film there are things going on that are out of his character's experience that would create a shell shocked reaction the chemistry between and carries the film though laura hard work to make her written stereotype human is also notable these performances combined with a fun soundtrack with artists like stevens john and make this kids popcorn flick worth a saturday afternoon,positive +the golden door is the story of a family's journey from the old world italy to the new world america a middle aged man who hopes for a more life his family to leave their behind in take the journey across the raging and inhabit a land whose rivers supposedly flow with milk in short they believe that by everything for the new world their dreams of will be the imagery of the new world is optimistic clever and highly imaginative silver rain from heaven upon as he how he'll be in the new world and twice the size of human beings are shown being to suggest wealth and health and rivers of milk are in and flow through the minds of those who what the new world will all of this imagery is with the characters and helps nicely compliment the gritty realism that the story unfolds to the audience the contrast between this imagery versus the dark reality of the people helps provide hope while they're aboard the ship to the new world br br the voyage to the new world is shot almost in complete darkness especially when the and nearly kill the people within the dark reality i referred to is the old world and the journey itself to the new world the old world is depicted as somewhat and primitive this is shown as together to sell what few he has left and in order to obtain the appropriate clothing he needs to enter the new world i thought it was rather interesting that these people believed they had to to a certain dress code in order to be accepted in the new world it was almost suggesting that people had to fit a particular stereotype or mold in order to be recognized as morally fit the most powerful image in the film was when the ship is leaving their and setting for the new world this shot shows an view of a crowd of people who slowly seem to separate from one another depicting the between the old and new worlds this shot also suggested that the people were being torn away from all that was once familiar wanted to divorce from their previous dark living conditions and were to enter a world that held more promise br br as later to how the new world visually looks the old world seems dark and bleak as compared to the bright yet new world i thought it was particularly interesting that the statue of liberty is never shown through the fog at island but is remained hidden i think this was an intentional directing choice that seemed to the purpose of what the statue of liberty stands for give me your poor your tired your hungry seemed like a joke in regards to what these people had to go through when arriving at the new world once they arrived in the they had to go through rather i e etc in order to prove themselves as fit for the new world these completely changed the perspectives of the people in particular mother had the most difficult time herself to the rules and laws of the new world feeling more than treated with respect where their dreams once provided hope and optimism for what the new world would provide the reality of what the new world required was and rude doesn't change much other than his attitude towards what he felt the new world would be like versus what the new world actually was seemed disappointing to him this attitude was shared by mostly everyone who with him their character deal more with a dream being greatly upset and a dark reality that had to be accepted br br the film seems to make a strong commentary on preparing to enter a heavenly and society marriage and intelligence are to these rules is to prevent disease behavior and stupidity from perhaps this is a commentary on how america has learned from the of other nations and so was established to secure that these did not and though the rules seemed rigid they were there to protect and help the people,positive +i loved the first american with all my heart and soul that i considered it to be the best movie about rock roll along with being the best teenager flick i've ever seen the first film the careers of george lucas who would later do the blockbuster epic star wars before doing the two decades later while making richard dreyfuss a star in jaws close encounters of the third kind and other films as well br br somehow without those two the magic died off br br more american shows audiences what happened to the rest of the characters later on in the sixties where steve ron howard and laurie cindy williams are against the vietnam war while their friend terry the fields charles martin smith is in the war himself and trying to get out john paul le is still the hot drag in california where he never quite left home the rest of the supporting actors in the film from candy debbie girlfriend to the gang members along with harrison ford and others really don't do much the original film showed teenagers the streets without any bloodshed with the early music of rock roll from buddy holly the chuck domino bill and the buddy knox and more that brought back the nostalgia bug in classic music the soundtrack for more american is a mixture of rock soul country hippie music and whatever the mood during the late 60's of drugs sacrifices and more br br after watching more american it looked like it wanted to show audience members what happened after the title of the four main characters in the first film with the exception of character where it wasn't necessary this film wasn't necessary either as i was glad to see that neither lucas or dreyfuss moved on to bigger and better projects,negative +this is the most frightening film ever made in hollywood it is a tale of how to take a european masterpiece and suck the life of of it until it is a dry like an on the the frightening because it reveals how the world of hollywood really works ignorant money it makes me wonder how many great films could the corridors of my memory if the hollywood process had not them to forgettable mediocrity cry for the murdered children see or read the golden egg if you dare because they will come back to you forever in the moments of your life when you're walking along the street and you see a poster in ordinary looking parking lots when you hear the tour de france on the radio and especially when you you think what's the harm in wearing a with a hole in it on a perfectly ordinary day br br if only i could give this a zero,negative +i absolutely loved this movie since i don't want to give much away it's basically about about a mother and a daughter and the life they have together it's very heartwarming story between the struggles they have i also think natalie and susan have perfect chemistry throughout the entire film this is definitely worth seeing two thumbs up way up,positive +i have seen this movie when it was released and no doubt it is heart touching i liked the point of view of a kid who came to know that what she was thinking about her were actually not true it's a to that small kid and her search to find out who she is and before and after she knows about her the relationship between her and her foster mom that's a nice view a r adds his stress by a good re recording and songs in this movie does not or give like in but simply the characters as they are and because of that the film exactly strikes the audience the pool bath scene of and did not convey perfectly what it meant for has amazingly improved,positive +one imdb reviewer calls eaten alive a passable film for the cannibal are there such people i didn't know but if you are one of them hey have a ball the rest of you might find this tripe a bit hard to swallow pun intended even if like me you consider yourself a horror film i have been an avid horror fan for about 15 years now although i never got around to the cannibal until a few weeks ago and i guess i owe my short lived interest in these inducing movies strangely enough to total disregard for laws you see i bought a two disc dvd collection of all of wesley films for 20 about 2 75 which turned out to include last cannibal world mountain of the cannibal god eaten alive cannibal holocaust next with nicholas cage and something called voodoo along with blade 1 3 in chinese nice br br being a second sequel i immediately got a sinking feeling when the movie opened with a cannibal in street clothes wandering around major american cities shooting unsuspecting americans with poison and then away at full speed having run out of ways to keep movie cannibals scary it seems that now they have made their way to the later you may be shocked to learn that this guy is on a training exercise lock up your daughters br br before long the movie into the old missing sister routine as a young blonde woman named sheila begins her own investigation of the disappearance of her sister who looks nothing like her in any way but she's willing to spend most of the movie naked so i guess that doesn't matter it seems that after shooting one of his victims the hapless cannibal we met early in the movie not used to big city life ran into the road and was struck dead by a moving van br br the brilliant police force find a mysterious bit of film on him showing sister involved in some bizarre ritual behavior but other than the film the guy is a complete mystery as the police chief we know nothing about him except that he's dead poor guy he must be getting a headache from all this i recommend a luckily sheila is the kind of girl who can throw around of thousands of dollars like it's nothing in the search for her sister perfect for hiring a backwoods guide caricature since the police are clearly going to be no help br br obviously nothing new is added to this sub genre quite the contrary almost seems like a background to a completely different kind of bad movie about the rescue of a missing person from the dangerous elements the plot of that is not difficult all you have to do is add in a cartoonish jungle cult of people who follow some guy who calls himself who believes in using pain as a way to reunite man with nature a process they call personally i prefer just outside occasionally br br one of my favorite parts of the movie is when sheila is caught by one of the cult members an overweight guy who looks like he took a three day weekend from the office to appear in this movie as he pulls out his medical to give her an he warns her if you don't believe in and through pain god help you he then gives her a shot and when she from the tiny he to her i sense a true believer in this guy br br as far as the gore there are plenty of nasty sound effects over random shots of animals getting slaughtered and more than enough disgusting footage of women being cut up and eaten alive so i guess right there the movie lives up to its name the acting is astonishingly bad as can be expected and interestingly enough the editing is also spectacularly but still strangely effective br br unfortunately i think you have to be able to relate to people who believe in utterly insane in order to relate to anyone in the movie there are plenty of outlandish religious that take place which make it more and more difficult to understand why sister decided to turn her back on normal society i'm all for and doing your own thing but come on br br after a while the movie even further into your basic run of the mill escape movie just before we witness the most wildly inappropriate rendition of glory glory in film history wow br br note in this movie a woman is raped with a severed snake if you need any more reason never to watch it seek professional help avoid this mess at all costs,negative +propaganda pro american war effort film that came out in 1942 has the east side kids getting tough against any japanese they spot in their own neighborhood when they learn they're too young to ultimately they learn they were mistaken in their of some individuals but also happen to stumble across a spy ring they then set out to bust the film is harmless enough in its fashion although some may well take offense given how innocent really did get out during the second world war overall though it's a pretty generic effort and both leo and hall would have better moments the best of which tend to come here when they ad,negative +this comment north and south book i dealing with period br br the 19th century history of the usa is mostly identified by people with the civil war this is a reasonable opinion because that was civil war which put the union under the severe test that was the civil war which made americans realize how precious it is to live in peace finally that was this period which at last brought the end to the shameful system of slavery br br from the birth of motion pictures there were people who adapted that time onto screen d w griffith in the early made his unforgettable birth of a nation yet the most famous film about the north south clash is still i suppose gone with the wind 1938 unfortunately fewer people know the magnificent tv series based on john novel north and south it is the very best tv series ever made and the time spent on watching it is really precious i taped it on my video from polish tv many years ago and have come back to it with great pleasure many times since then why br br firstly the entire story is deeply in historical reality the two families the from south and the from represent two entirely different ways of life in spite of that friendship them yet what they experience is the struggle all people do friendship attacked by truth of political correctness love attacked by hatred of legal by strength of social heroes patrick is my beloved character someone who finds love and who is quickly of her someone who cares for friends but political fanatics step in the way and ruin much finally he is someone who can see the tragic future for his land but there is nothing he can do about the fate his friend george is similar in most aspects but sometimes he appears to have a stronger character it is him who shows that although there are he must get up from despair and live since life is the most precious thing we have although they represent two different their friendship occurs to be stronger than any prejudice politics or conflicts br br other characters are also particularly well developed there are villains like justin or jones who are really wicked but most of the people are ambiguous as the nature of humanity has always been charles is at first full of rebellion prone to fighting later however he learns to be a true southern gentleman for whom southern pride is not courageous words but foremost courageous deeds represents the most side of movement to slavery and the owners of black her marriage with grady appears to be a symbol of but also a symbol of saying no to the politics of the south two interesting characters are sisters brett and sisters in whose runs entirely opposite blood brett in her but also believes in absolute she marries billy even though he is a because she truly loves him brett is the representation of all that is precious in any young woman however is a a a woman who does not hesitate to do the most wicked things the clear picture of their world views clash is their chat about men and family unforgettable moment and how universal most characters head for their values yet war breaks out and they'll have to put aside a lot br br secondly the performances someone said that not all people act naturally i wouldn't say that i'd rather say that all cast do very good jobs in their parts from the main characters who are portrayed by younger staff to the guests that consist of famous stars including liz taylor robert mitchum and others patrick as does a great job i consider this role one of his best ones anne down as madeleine is also very memorable her part perhaps too much suffering but she manages to express all sorts of feelings really well alley is very appealing and truly memorable as the phillip is worth consideration as horribly ambitious bent as well as david carradine as a monster husband disgusting justin and in contrast to him a mention must be made of jean simmons who is truly excellent as mother whose heart beats for the glory of family life and of union br br memorable moments of north and south leave an trace in one's mind who can forget the first meeting of and madeleine what charm what there is in this scene or is it possible to skip the moment when father dies i found it really powerful there is a real drama in this moment a drama of a woman being left by someone who really loved her i also liked sequence and george so worried about the life of his friend then his with are terrific speech in philadelphia is a masterpiece of performance and the final moment of the first part although north and south may separate their friendship will never die and george join hands as the train moves on simply there are so many beautiful and powerful scenes that it's impossible to mention even half of them here and these gorgeous tunes by bill and shot in brilliant landscapes the music in north and south is very touching and memorable br br what to say in the end north and south is a real must have on dvd simply an amazing tv series about the victory of all that is precious in us love friendship loyalty honor absolute 9 10,positive +gene hackman is a former marine colonel who a handful of private vietnam vets to go back to and rescue some americans who have been listed as missing in action hackman suspects that in the half dozen or so are secretly being held in a remote camp by to be tormented and to provide more hard labor hackman is being paid by the wealthy robert stack whose son like son is thought to be among the but the circumstances are such that hackman can only manage to buy old and out dated weapons though he manages to pick up the help of a anti communist and his two daughters along the way br br i don't think the movie was deliberately to the myth of the still holding our for propaganda purposes the myth was real enough if anyone remembers there were many in 1982 and 1983 bring back the i think instead that the film was made partly in order to cash in on the myth it was absurd on the face of it why would our former enemy refuse to return propaganda where is the propaganda value in something that's kept secret to add the labor supply they need a hundred extra in vietnam and the motives behind this movie with its music and high body count were br br but how about the movie itself stripped of its theme of mythical it's a routine no better and no worse than dozens of others that appeared in the 1980s gene performance is the only one that manages to keep its head above water he's just about always reliable br br of the others this being a formulaic plot derived from the dirty dozen among others i kept trying to guess which of the gang would sacrifice themselves for the mission of the three anti communist i figured one or more were dead meat that's why asian appear in movies like this i was right two times out of three i also figured patrick as the rookie ex officer the youngest of the group who'd never earned the respect of the others because he'd never seen combat would also have to go in some heroic mode wrong he becomes a hero true but survives intact i thought there was a fifty fifty chance that hackman would have to go too but he makes it out okay the formula doesn't really stretch for originality either charles claustrophobic from the great escape is here in fred ex tunnel rat a who is forced to crawl through a with a snake inside it so that he can do a on the camp br br the title is from a tribute that made to the men on was common that day was certainly right about that whether or not the men who fought in vietnam were all equally is remote from the point anyone who saw combat or even came near it putting their lives on the line for the guys in the line next to them were heroic enough this movie and the way it exploits our about the vietnam war doesn't really do them justice,negative +very straight not happy with the movie br br the main center of the movie is the story where the lady is the mother of all the and all the things br br if they can more explain that how this is happening and all the stuff then it was quite a fun and more rating for this movie br br the end was very short and sudden till now actor of the movie was to save her then at last he told sorry now we are late oh crap br br what was the story and how this all this thing happen i think they can put all these so the end user like us will be satisfied that yes we are happy with the movie br br any way but nice idea and nice try so i will say 4 or max 4 5,negative +i had to watch this movie for professional reasons and can only say it's a complete waste of time when running baldwin looks like an ape characters are dull same story has been told 1000 times better in other movies i think everything has been now said about this film but imdb requires me to write 10 lines so boring and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and trivial,negative +i have loved this movie since i saw it in the theater in 1991 i was 12 then and was my favorite actor and adolescent crush i am now 23 and i still love this movie the best part about it is whoever i am dating loves it too because it is a total macho guy movie it is with enough action and mayhem to keep men with the attention glued to the screen i only wish that it was available on dvd,positive +let me get started with a terrible storyline and an awful control system good animation but not too good graphics that is why i'm giving this game 4 of 10 this game really needs an improvement if you ask me i would remake it and make this control system better so jaws is not so damn hard to control if i made it to improve it i would make those graphics look better than on the movie it will drive anyone crazy when you are getting killed so freaking easy i played this and got killed by a diver when he had one of those flick knives in 2 hits the will kill you so much that the shark will be begging to go to the bottom of hell this game sucks some fat ass sorry about all the i think i'm done now it just that this game sucks so bad that it should be taken off the shelf i dare you to play the garbage and you will probably get so mad by so easy so don't play it,negative +this film is wonderful film for students of film in mainstream american film it is common to see techniques used to draw the audience into the movie in this film the director uses techniques to push the story forward br br this is a love story that offers no sex to be honest i can't even recall the characters kissing rather the plot focuses on the emotional ties between the two characters br br i would not recommend this film for everybody it is not very accessible it is very slow moving and the subtle it is a difficult film and mostly not entertaining br br i would this film to people who want to see something different it is a piece of art the soundtrack is most beautiful and visually every frame is a photograph and most beautiful of all it's not visually stimulating for the sake of being visually stimulating every frame illustrates a little bit more of the story,positive +as you can see i've 2 comments about this show since 1991 and no have still not made it available for general release br br however i recently to see if there was any way of getting hold of a copy and this was their br br unfortunately there are no plans for this programme to be released on dvd video you can however purchase copies from our viewers their email address is viewers com br br hope you all now get the chance to enjoy this classic short comedy again br br,positive +it was dumb sort of like an adam sandler movie br br there were a few funny parts but not that funny br br i liked some of the actors in it though br br there were some sat night live people in the movie but i wouldn't recommend this unless there is just nothing else better on and it was still better than any jennifer lopez movie,negative +you know the movie could have been a lot better when the animal in this case a little dog is the best actor on the screen the acting in this film is so bad so amateurish by dog got embarrassed watching this he rusty our golden could have done a better job than the people in here br br by now this is almost a trite story kid finds animal pet is not liked nor wanted by one of the parents but the pet winds up saving one the kids and is now a hero and an official member of the family sound familiar br br i remember this movie being a big hit but never got around to seeing it until the mid on vhs i was shocked how bad it was why so much fuss over a film was it because there was so much sleaze in the early '70s that a nice family film stood out in the crowd possibly there wasn't a whole lot of wholesome entertainment in the decade of the '70s plus a lot of people are for cute little animal stories who could resist this cute little dog not me but the movie i can resist it's a grade b storyline with horrible acting br br recommended only for small dog animal lovers and i mean lovers because even the average pet owner will fall asleep trying to watch this film in this day and age,negative +imaginative quick paced satirical americans do but the brits do and they love to poke fun at themselves unattractive teeth large lips nose common or obsession with the inside jokes for the older folk in the audience lots of action for the subtle use of devices from other classic films watch for to the jones ' and more also a nifty film is a quiet but sidekick add brilliant voice work by bonham carter and is it true the best acting these days is being done in animation enjoy i saw it with the fun time for all,positive +i disagree with the imdb com synopsis that this is about a guy preparing to get married it's more about all the crap we go through self induced and because of our parents that we have to get over when we grow up like the linda poem says childhood is the barrel they throw you over the falls in this movie is much more like a narrative poem it's about life and the mistakes we make and hurt we and experience over the years and how in the end it's all about love i'm not trying to be hyper sensitive or and finding and being with one special person,positive +water is a very beautiful movie i would put it straight under the wonderful short movie from it's not only about coming out but also about tolerance and acceptance in general i am looking forward to seeing more of laurel work in the future the actors angie and nina are quite good the main characters relationship could have been a bit as we understand there is a very strong bond between them but maybe this could have been explained a bit i am surprised that angie doesn't appear much in other movies a great first step as a director for laurel i am sure there's more to see from her skills,positive +this movie is such a fine example of the greatness that is 80's entertainment oh don't get me wrong most of the music back then sucked i only ever liked the metal bands from the 80s bands that had some balls forget that whiny keyboard crap and all that is horrible and i want to garbage but the movies from the 80's are the best they were all about nonsense and just having a good time this movie that party get naked get laid,positive +best in show tracks the stories of a handful of human contestants as they prepare for one of the biggest dog shows in the any amateur psychologist would say that an love and obsession with a pet is a sign of something missing in someone's life and each of the characters in some way fills this cliche there's the former high school who's now married to a geeky man the label obsessed couple the the young wife of a wealthy old along with her short haired dog and the gay couple br br what makes this film so funny though is the way it these stereotypes in a completely believable way almost in many cases every ridiculous thing one of the characters does or says with their dog as an innocent seems like the kind of behaviour you'd totally expect to see at a dog show br br the biggest laughs come from the commentary team of an all american style sports comparing moments in a dog show to parts of a baseball game and his english academic foil br br the trials of the geeky husband as his blonde wife meets an astonishing number of men from her past is also always good for a chuckle as is the demented behaviour of the couple as the pressure builds while their stays completely br br well worth watching even if cats are more your bag,positive +if you're in the mood for a really bad porno with no good porn combined with a really bad horror movie this movie is perfect for you however if you breathe air make sure you spend your time watching anything but this the acting is crappy the plot is crappy they try too hard and the whole time i was waiting for the one good redeeming scene that might make the movie worth watching nope stick with the cable,negative +i have no with how the movie does not capture new jersey like i'm from there fine whatever i lived there way long enough i don't need to see a movie that captures the garden state br br what i do have with is how bad this movie is let's make it easy on you we'll use some bullet points there are probably some spoilers that follow not that you wouldn't be able to predict the movie anyway br br the music placement was forced and example large what are you listening to sam the ever heard of 'em no listen to this song it will change your life and then they proceed to play that song that was in a commercial don't you love when the characters in a movie blatantly tell you the viewer how to react to something i love that hey they should have put subtitles during various scenes us to chuckle say cry feel inspired etc br br the scenes were so bad so cliché so melodramatic example the entire movie but no really example they're in the rainy by the large runs up in the rain oh he's so tormented on top of a piece of heavy and screams oh how moving but wait here comes sam and his buddy the annoying drug addict and they all scream but wait oh my god here it comes they kiss long deep in the rain br br the dialogue was so bad so cliché so melodramatic example they're leaving the and sam says something like hey good luck exploring the and the guy says back you too oh oh my i never realized could it be oh my god it is life is like an another example large and sam in the airport sam says something like is this goodbye not enough for ya ok says something like this isn't a period at the end of the sentence it's an and guess what happens when he tries to walk down the and go back to his life in la you know what don't guess it's a waste of your time br br it's a grade z wes anderson rip off movie when not busy being melodramatic and cliché the movie spends lots of times with crazy off characters hey brother thank you for including him because it really made the movie so much more also ripping off anderson the dialogue scene sam and are in a bar in walks friends says one of them then they see him sitting with sam so one of the friends says sorry i said and sam says it's ok br br inventive cinematography that's not inventive but pointless and annoying give me a break with the speed up slow down of film again wes anderson does it effectively in his movies and it was done well in but really it was pointless wow a crazy party where people are taking x and coke better roll out all the tricks br br you can count the good moments on one hand even if you're missing fingers that's what makes it even worse the retarded thing well that was good the little thing he says as they're about to enter the something about that was good oh wait that's about it br br you know is i think always a little too cute but he's likable but man this is forced pretentious melodramatic have you gotten that yet overly cute overly everything this movie is terrible apparently i'm as this waste of time is currently rated an 8 0 br br please though if you're looking for something truly poignant and subtle and unique do not rent this movie,negative +being a science fiction fan from my early childhood long time since i always hated implausible plots it's a pity that most authors of science fiction stories for children do not show this kind of respect for their audience i always suspected them of thinking children are to dumb to realise so we don't have to the writer of science fiction 2002 is no exception the story is about a boy who is by his new friends to spy after his parents because they think that the parents are aliens as intriguing the idea sounded to me as much was i bored by its it seemed to me that the filmmakers had exactly this one idea and tried to stretch it over the ninety minutes by it into a dark stylish and slow atmosphere the only thing that kept me in my seat was the question how do they manage to get out of this implausible rubbish and then bang they did not even try so if you are looking for good entertainment for both children and parents go and watch 2002 instead,negative +a family is traveling through the mid west there's widower ben charles his girlfriend and ben's little daughter k t then hit a town named where everyone acts more than a little strangely their car breaks down and they're forced to stay they soon find out a witches has a spell over the town and is up to incredible evil br br the story is not that good people just figure things out of nothing and they just happen to find out where the witches are at the end also there are a lot of left at the end the acting is pretty poor too and are bland and everybody else is about the same only old pros martin and l q jones give good performances still this movie does work it blood and gore there's some but this is pg and to work with some very creepy visuals and atmosphere the acting a lot of it but it still works martin especially the scenery in his role i can't explain exactly why i sort of like this movie but it did work on me it's a quiet kind of horror that isn't made anymore hardly a but this deserves to be a 7,positive +the actresses in a changing room well i guess they are preparing young children for changing room time boys you must close your eyes at that scene a which definitely neither of the actresses size and supposedly talking oh don't worry if your son takes your then boys a girl pulls down a boys pants to reveal his kids try that at home and in school beating a girl with male nothing wrong the show likes to show underwear next actress at an age below 18 in a revealing bikini mom can you buy me one when i reach so many sexual to

equipment br br oh and last night slept with my on sam or so just my br br they wanted no part of me or my br br you know how i feel about you handling tools br br you don't even wanna know where the go br br it's like she in her br br spencer well it spread to places where spencer motions for to come near then in his ear ugh br br wow it's just that you've always seemed so willing br br i have to take my daughter to a special doctor br br i send a lot of guys a lot of places br br yeah you've been having all kinds of fun this morning br br i'm looking for some br br mom i learn how to say today all in all very educational for young children lesson to be taken if you want to know more than where babies come from kids watch this show,negative +after reading some of the earlier nasty remarks i had to put in my two cents this show was not despite what that in thinks the worst thing that ever aired on tv i think most of today's tv is much worse when is this stupid reality ever going to end and there isn't a current show i can stand to watch the stuff i grew up with i'm a 1965 baby and not ashamed to admit it br br this show has been my all time favorite for almost 30 years i was in high school when it originally aired and i think it helped me to hang on throughout those miserable days i was such a back then and fantasy island to my imagination as i was a budding writer in those days it provided incredible opportunities for me to practice the craft what a wonderful premise i won't say it didn't have its faults sometimes the scripts were pretty bad and some of the problems seemed trivial but it could be good too and it was a blast to watch and still is as for the cheesiness factor well i think it's unfair to label every single 70s product as cheesy there was a lot of great stuff back then and this was among the ranks btw most of the seasons aired in the 80s my favorite episodes came from seasons 2 3 and 4 mostly br br to those who for his heavy french accent and his short stature grow up and learn something it's so easy to make fun when you're normal and perfect that man made the best of what he was dealt in life and if you don't like it that's just tough have a little compassion he's been dead 15 years and how easy it is to cut down someone who can't defend himself there's just no shame anymore br br i love this show so it looks dated hate to tell you this but we didn't have special effects and ray we were lucky to have live with it accept it for what it is and that's just plain fun tv describes it perfectly and that's what it was for me an escape from my rotten real life and it's still a lot of fun to watch,positive +this is a known fact mr seagal cannot smile he can act he can kick butt there are faint smiles no real smiles no laughing out loud and no real point of watching this confusing movie we see an over weight mr seagal as dr wesley who is in desperate need of a and his real daughter made an appearance as his office assistant story okay so wesley lives in another darn with his sweet daughter holly they sit and enjoy their red flower tea and and on the other end of town some over weight leader decides to make the whole town sick by a virus that travels by air and kills in a matter of 2 days thinking he can survive as he had an problem there is no and the one that exists only holds back the virus for a while the cia are and even they can't help and only one person isn't ill daughter holly so she gets hunted thinking the cure is in her blood wesley manages to grab his daughter and take her to her grandfather who is a native indian together with his sister in law ann they go to a base where there is a hidden lab to find a cure but even the soldiers there are dying slowly and so will others if they don't find a cure in time and to the moment neither ann or wesley are infected by the virus hmm one weak fight scene terrible movie and all the men in it are in desperate need of a master,negative +music and lyrics written and performed by charlie daniels said just don't be expecting anything along the lines of devil went down to georgia ol' charles sorta talk sings through one song early in about the mountain duh and that's it for lyrics hey though fans of arty rape scenes will get a kick out of the montage my second hand copy is classified as a family film and who doesn't love interminable scenes of at the box art made the movie look a hell of a lot than it was with the promise that you can lose your life or your mind but mostly it's two couples through the sticks and acting natural love that,negative +black water is a thriller that manages to completely it's limitations it's an indie flick by continually expectations to emerge as an intense experience br br in the tradition of all good animal centered thrillers ie jaws the edge the original cat people the directors know that restraint and what isn't shown are the best ways to pack a punch the performances are real and gripping the is extremely well done indeed if the black water website is to be believed that's because they used real and the swamp location is fabulous br br if you are after a b grade gore fest croc romp forget black water but if you want a clever suspenseful ride that will have you the water and wondering what the hell would i do if i was up that tree then it's a must see,positive +this film is superb it has the same low budget first film feel of and but has the style of also by writer director christopher nolan the score sound effects photography and editing are almost and the story shows that christopher nolan is best when writing and directing don't be put off by the low budget look and acting or even the short length of the film and just watch it,positive +the royal has been one of my favourite events and i've been a wrestling fan for a good few years now the other shows may have better matches but i've always found the actual match to be full of excitement br br i'm not going to reveal the winners of any match as i don't see it as fair to ruin the results on a review i will comment on the quality of them though br br we have the standard 4 matches and then the big event two from and two from raw br br shawn michaels and edge open up for raw this proves to be a good match from two talented guys this is a match i'd recommend watching it's hard to sum up without giving away the winner br br next we have the usual undertaker against some big nasty monster be whoever it is giant well this time it's its also a match typical undertaker fare watch if you're a fan i have to admit i am purely for the entertainment factor it can hardly be regarded as a classic wrestling match br br the next two matches are the title matches for once manages to raw their title match is pretty thrilling and enjoyable but with a anti climax and let down to end it match is a pretty dull and boring affair which is a pity as i'm a fan of both guys involved br br now to the main reason i love the event the it's a pretty good one this year coming up to the event we all had a pretty good idea of who might win and it may not prove a big surprise but hey its very enjoyable there are the usual diverse ways of people being eliminated there is the token guy who doesn't make it to the ring the who is ridiculous and we all want to see and someone gets eliminated by a previously eliminated it has its usual and and i loved the ending in particular the vince entrance br br i'd recommend this show not the wwe on top form but its still good add it to your collection,positive +warning spoiler spoiler spoiler br br this is written for who may have walked away from mood for love and confused about paths the main characters choose in life from reading other comments and reviews it seems that many viewers and critics missed some very important details which may have prevented them from enjoying this delightful of a movie br br we are so use to seeing blatant sex in that we forget that there was a time when would suggest the dirty deed by simply showing the slack mouthed couples ride off in a or only to return into the next scene with a gut or a fat stuck to the hip meet your child br br the director chose the same nostalgic approach in telling the story of mr and mrs chan last warning spoiler spoiler spoiler br br mr fools mrs chan into showing her real emotions when they his departure forever next scene mrs chan her head on mr in the taxi and says i do not want to go home tonight translation let's do it br br why then did the couple just not do the modern thing of their cheating get a divorce raise their love child and live happily ever after the answer is that this whole story takes place in hong kong during the sixties a bastard would live in a bleak life of shame if he were the child of an whereas a legitimate child could live a tragic but noble honest life if his mother chose to raise him away from his cheating father the invisible mr chan in short mr and mrs chan sacrifices their relationship for the future of their child br br that is why mr upon learning that mrs chan lives alone with a little boy gives a knowing smile and ends his dreams of making mrs chan his mrs he then also realizes why mrs chan went to all the way to to be with him only to at the last and leave choosing to never see him again but not before taking some mr lives with this wonderful secret with no one to tell no one except for a temple wall and of course we the viewer but only if we listen,positive +now i have seen two movies by the director a very good one farewell my and this bad one the assassin both movies depict crucial events in chinese history in the 20th century and the first of the whole chinese nation in the 3rd century with memorable characters gorgeous cinematography convincing sets good acting and an interesting story the assassin fails on nearly every level okay the sets are great the cinematography is good and the few battle scenes are quite exciting but the pathos call me a but too much is too much if you felt that saving private ryan was too pathetic be aware this here will make you sick the dialogue is lifeless many lines seem like political statements subtle or entertaining is this not the film is by its own i am really surprised that the assassin gets such high votes here on imdb 4 10,negative +this is beyond stupid br br two high school travel to for the summer and find situations there that are absolutely revolting br br moore co stars in this one as the film was in 1986 was just a babe in the woods at that time br br moore's grandfather has died and his home is on the verge of being sold to ruthless people with a father and son who bring a new meaning to the term mean br br with that obnoxious voice is in the film as well as two brothers who make dumb and dumber look more and more intelligent br br the writing is absolutely ridiculous highlights of the stupidity are where one person says to the other did you ever notice that when people die they go in the papers br br i rest my case,negative +gary cooper michael brandon played the role as an american millionaire who had seven bad but always divorced his wife's with plenty of money to live on michael is in paris on business and goes into a french department store to buy a pair of tops and the sales people refuse to sell him just the tops he has to buy the or there is no sale nicole to this conversation and offers to buy the bottom of these michael becomes very interested in nicole and they have occasion to meet and go on dates it is not too long before michael marriage to nicole and she is very taken back with his request for marriage since she really does not know him very well however once she finds out she is going to become the wife of michael she begins to change her mind and this story becomes quite entertaining and funny don't miss this film it is great entertainment by great veteran actors enjoy,positive +caught this movie on tv and i watched it again i said to myself it's been a long time since i watched this movie so why not and once again this movie thrilled me it is so easy so watchable and so human that i don't know why some people dislike it br br john travolta shines as michael his dance and every move angel that can hardly be related to this word he drinks and he eats like some savage but he's got big heart on his way michael helps all people he meets dorothy winters in her singing and finding a right man frank william hurt in developing himself as a good and decent man michael even helped dear old jean that last scene is beautiful when they dance on the street br br travolta had great help in other actors is so beautiful and likable william hurt is great as usual late robert shows his talent jean and are also good but my favorite supporting actor in this movie is bob as the owner br br so we've got here a solid movie about people with a warm story also and attractive cast just don't take this movie seriously and i can guarantee you'll have fun,positive +my review is divided into questions that you really should ask yourself br br 1 plants eating people have been done hundreds of times it's been used by in everything from mario to to prime it's been used in plenty of low budget 50's movies on par with the lowest of the godzilla franchise and this brings it to a whole another level of cheese with plants that talk i've known no one who walked out but i know a lot of people who absolutely broke out in laughing during parts of this movie i was one of them doesn't the horror genre deserve something a little better than this pile of laughable crap br br 2 the characters easily could have been copy from hostel or wrong turn or wolf creek or any other movie with kids with bad luck yet it's called when the movie takes hours of your time to tell you clichés that hundreds of characters before have had don't you ever wish a movie had characters that weren't just forgettable pieces of meat with legs br br 3 this was not gory a guy cuts his skin off oh my not a guy gets his legs broken oh my gasp not i have shown movies like this to my mother who hates everything to do with horror because it makes her sick and she said i've seen pg movies worse than that why was it rated r so why was it rated r br br 4 here's the only plot the movie book has kids drink have sex get naked bleed and eventually die this is possibly the most typical example of a cheap horror movie yet people call this mature what the br br 5 i do not think i have ever seen something less original sense i watched a beautiful mind br br haven't you ever sat there and wished the horror genre easily the most diverse genre out there would do something well diverse something truly original br br i just wish more horror movies would have actual horror not just cheap parties put on film with a few of fake blood tossed around br br 1 10,negative +target is the story of a special agent who after carrying out orders to turkish terrorists note that this is one of those american movies for guys who love mindless super patriotic crap movies returns home to find that his ex wife and two kids are taking hostage charlie snow has just a couple of hours to do whatever the terrorists tell him in order to get them back br br this was by far one of the worst movies i have ever seen and had it not been for someone i know actually and probably taking it out of the video store i would never have watched this giant pile of garbage to begin with br br the movie plays out like any generic action movie story i have ever seen before in fact these are the kind of things they spoof on variety shows that is how bad it is i half expected in living the the to mad tv's will doing his steven segal impression to bust out on the screen half way through to remind you that this was just an exaggerated action movie but now our characters are here to spoof how ridiculous it really is there were not even any good fighting or action sequences by the way things are played out you wouldn't even think that anyone was kidnapped that there were any terrorists or that anything remotely interesting was going on br br not only is the story completely and utterly uninteresting the acting is so terribly wooden just watch the part where stephen baldwin as former special agent charlie snow is talking to the on the they tell him that they have his wife and they put her on the phone she says charlie help or something to that effect and baldwin replies it's okay honey in such a deadpan manner you think he was reading the script and trying to sound out the words i imagine that despite being such a ridiculously bad movie one that belongs on the bottom 100 on imdb a list that they should expand to at least 250 movies and should contain nearly every stephen baldwin movie someone with some talent could have at least made the effort not to ham it up as much someone anyone i couldn't get past the fact that everyone sounded like they were reading from a script save that is the only person in the whole movie who has any talent whatsoever and thus should not have been in this mad tv's deborah wilson br br this was the capital cheese fest how truly embarrassing,negative +there was a time when joel was quite high on my list of favorite directors back in the late 80's and early 90's when his name was attached to several great films like the lost boys and falling down he truly was one of the most gifted directors in hollywood then came the stupid batman sequels unfortunately and after that it seemed as if every potentially sublime screenplay turned into a gigantic mess in hands both and phone booth could have been much better films and even the incredibly concept of the number 23 should have been into a slightly more compelling and entertaining movie literally from start to finish the number 23 desperately attempts to be a mysterious and uncanny thriller and therefore uses all the dreadful clichés from the big book of cinema history including heavy voiced narration flashbacks structure characters with multiple personalities numerous plot twists that grow increasingly absurd and sinister asylum settings nothing helps however simply due to the sheer silliness of the basic formula and the clearly uninspired engagement of cast crew as much as you try to associate with the lead character and be open minded regarding the insane theories this still remains a movie about a two number and two numbers aren't scary walter jim carrey in a rare non comical role is a bored animal whose wife agatha gives him a bizarre book on his birthday the book tells about all sorts of theories and strange that are linked to the number 23 walter almost promptly himself with the protagonist a sleazy detective investigating a grim case of suicide and begins to spot examples of the 23 in his own private life i did some research on and and apparently this whole 23 nonsense really exists and certain people honestly believe that most and are directly connected to this evil number well that's just … crazy but hey i'm not here to judge people's beliefs and fears regardless of how demented they are and i can only share my humble opinion on a movie that is based on an out and out the number 23 is not suspenseful in spite of several gloomy set pieces and nasty make up effects and never at one point manages to make you contemplate about the role of numbers in your own life all cast members perform below their normal but it was still nevertheless a joy to see the lovely mrs virginia madsen in a relatively big production again definitely not recommended in case you're looking for a solid and creepy evening of thriller fun but and not entirely without merit,negative +this was a surprisingly very good movie and an interesting idea however it was just a little bit disappointing in that the was a little too predictable and just a bit too early on in the movie whilst watching it started to get a little bizarre and confusing to the point that the only reasonable outcome possible was the inevitable plot twist but it certainly did not ruin this movies flow there were superb performances there was never a dull boring moment so totally well worth watching this one it kept me interested right up until the end and for me there isn't many movies that can do that these days i highly recommend people watch this terrific little movie,positive +it's true no one really expects anything from sequels but even by that low standard this is a terrible film br br essentially an anthology movie this fourth installment in the saga tries to be an origins story and a wind up to the entire series at the same time an ambitious idea but none of the cast is given enough screen time to do anything with their characters and rookie director abandoned the film rather than give in to studio the result is a steaming pile of mediocrity that even have trouble defending unless you're an alan fan avoid this one,negative +the back of the dvd for this movie is the quentin tarantino of christian films this isn't so much an insult to quentin as it is to christian films this film is poorly written acted and edited with a intensity the scenes play out in a confusing and unrealistic way and are interspersed with some nice time photography flashbacks fades to grey freeze frames to tell the time in the story are all done with out any apparent reason other than to give the movie more cinematic credibility the camera is some nice shots are cut with ridiculous montages that have no significance poor and lighting leave the viewer wondering who is talking to who in many scenes oh and the audio is terrible the special effects were decent and thankfully limited but this is all just technical the movie fails to engage on an emotional level the dialogue is so fake sounding and the actors seem to have only read it a moment before the camera was rolling the story the things that happen in sequence have no motivation behind them the characters are struggling to take hold of one and the characters have to make a stance on christianity and faith in every single scene take a from m night engaging christian films don't have to have the characters saying the name of jesus christ in every scene for the movie to be christian goodness please don't try to show this to your friends with any expectations other than laughter,negative +here is a movie that was so pedestrian for 90 of it that it had no right to become so challenging and frustrating at the end did the director decide to become auteur suddenly 80 through the making of this movie spoiler alert thing start out typically enough for 50's youth gone wild there are good girls bad girls gangs the kindly old diner manager and the town creep things follow the expected path until about 15 minutes before the end when the only likable character is killed off and the anti hero is blamed this would not be so unexpected if this were the main plot of the movie but all this stuff starts happening and during the final reel major ball then things get weird the kindly old forms a mob and beats the hero to a bloody pulp the mere presence of the hero's friend somehow drags a confession out of the real killer the creepy town nut which in any real universe he'd have been the prime suspect to begin with even if the anti hero was found with her body br br we're left with a somewhat feeble happy ending which is about as out of character with the rest of the movie as the events of the 10 minutes it br br even more odd is this film's on playing homosexual innuendo to the but constantly presenting the two male leads as straight maybe this was on purpose perhaps resistance to down with the girl was more because of his sexuality which in the 50s would have to be kept quite repressed and thus not discussed or even admitted by him than his need to be a drifter if the director's intent was to spin this as a sexual yarn that the drifter because he feels he's an sexually that his regard towards danny is not in fact but that his inability to remain with carrie is in a sexual that even he does not quite understand it could have been made more clear instead we get this very bizarre of and behavior that is completely br br these young men sleep next to each other even when they can get some room to spread out when danny is and once even in bed with a woman out and takes him away danny pays way sure there is another explanation for it but it still strikes a every time you see danny buy lunch they end up living together at the end not since hitchcock's rope has homosexuality been so blatant but denied br br mst3k did the right thing by taking this one on aside from jack there is little to the film,negative +martin lawrence could be considered a talented man but those days are long gone shows a man who at once tries to play the sympathy card to his plight yet takes responsibility for it whenever he thinks it'll benefit his ego the sad truth is that at this point in his life his best days were behind him his half funny show was dead in the water after his co star left and to today he faces a career of voice acting and god awful action films br br one gets the impression that this concert film wasn't made to give career another boost after his but rather a childish attempt to clear the air by both trying to salvage what remained of his life and somehow twist it into something to be proud of some defining moment in which he showed himself to have his fame sadly the concert is nothing but a voiced martin trying to be funny pathos and then claim he doesn't care about it at all because hardcore the sad truth is that this is the real public embarrassment for lawrence the way he on sad pity laughter makes you wish that he would just strip down to his underwear on stage wave a gun around and just it all over again there is no real insight to his performance at all much like the childish title states martin is trying to make his ultimate moment of truth his own in his way and fails miserably he would have been better off waiting for the e true hollywood story instead of running on a stage and making an idiot out of himself for the second time br br perhaps the saddest thing about this concert film or rather career is that martin didn't put any thought into this what was this film supposed to prove sadly that his fame was fleeting he was a flash in the pan before the underwear incident and now that the only way he can get work is will smith or a pixar production they might as well called this concert because that's what it is martin lawrence just dies on stage here and with it goes what could have been an interesting career now just a pathetic side note in history,negative +a stupid teen supposed comedy that revolves a serious of including but not limited to a hooker being confused with a foreign exchange student girlfriend beating a girl loving a gay guy and the straight guy that loves her and bitchy none of the following is funny or even amusing nation use to be hilarious back in the day now the name is sadly with crap and this one is no exception i use to think was kinda cute when she was on boy meets world but it seems she let herself go and yes i know she has a name but into she does anything else worthwhile she'll stay as br br my grade d br br eye candy gets topless bliss relies on a body double,negative +so ya think you've seen every mafia movie ever made here's one that nobody every heard of it's a low budget b movie shot in the of jersey for us mob movie fans it had a little bit of everything sex violence and wise guys acting like while violence dominated the movie i found myself laughing at some familiar scenes i've since seen on the sopranos and look for a 1977 version of the girls in the beginning of the movie br br all our favorite mobster stereotypes were featured here and as for realism joe was superb portraying the classic wise guy character like we seen him do so many times over the years this was probably his first shot and it was a gem fans should run to the video store to check out this flick you have to look carefully for it since it goes by different names my copy called it the family here it is known as the death collector but whatever name it goes under it's should be called a winner,positive +what can be said about this truly one of the most mind numbing experiences of my life your brain will attempt to shut down as part of a primal of self i was left from the experience of watching this and i took a good two hours to fully recover this movie now joins revenge of the boogeyman and as part of the of horror films i certainly do not mean this distinction in a good way i mean this in a terrible way a terrible way br br this film has no redeeming features everything is appalling camera work endlessly presents us with the setting imaginable i e lots of corn lots of mud the story is beyond stupid the script there a script the villain is severely and wears yellow boots the kids are annoying the lead man is charisma free and it has the to go on for 100 minutes utterly without merit on any level this is akin to torture normally such a statement would be an exaggeration meant for comical effect not in this case i'll even say it again – this is torture br br at the end i was in a state of this was brief thankfully but once i i decided i had to watch the i had to understand maybe there would be a reasonable explanation for this atrocity was it all an elaborate joke i watched the first 2 minutes of the and discovered that the writer director was to put it mildly somewhat misguided i also discovered that because i had taken time out to watch the first two minutes of the of dark 2 that i was an idiot not a pleasant voyage of self discovery life sucks br br highly,negative +one would think that since this film has a bad that i would be when i say i hated this film but i'm am serious this movie was just so stupid and so unfunny and such a waste of time i mean after the first 30 i had a major headache and the smile i had on my face that was mostly getting ready to laugh was wearing off when this film was over i was so glad and because i had good expectations that it would be funny i was extremely disappointed the acting is not great the comedy moments are lame and unfunny hardly anything is good about this because i laughed at like maybe 2 parts overall this is so boring and i can't tell you how awful this is i think this could be used as a suicide technique i mean i don't think for some its even watchable so my final words on this are avoid at all costs,negative +well where to start i stumbled across this one in 1993 and just hit record on the vcr out of habit more than anything else citizen kane it sure isn't but if you've had a bad day and are in the mood for crashing out in front of something not too intellectually stimulating then i suggest this might just be your thing br br we have the lot here great title track more stereotypes than you could shake a stick at unconscious comedy the fight scene of all time and more more more david plays the opposite of his role in the 60s classic blow up still a photographer still but not quite the same br br john philip law is easy to slam as an actor who makes a appear but that t be fair seeing as how he had about 5 minutes notice before accepting the role br br as amanda suffice to say it was her one and only film role the real star of this movie though is evans who plays a shall we say secretary with the morals of an alley cat and an ambition to match the way she manages to her present life with that of a future with her comedian husband to be is actually quite touching in an gritty what is to be will be way br br i actually love this movie when i'm in the mood for it and wouldn't touch it with the proverbial when i'm not br br kudos to the cast for keeping a relatively straight face when filming br br a classic in the edward d wood school of cinematic,positive +this short deals with a severely critical writing teacher whose criticism into his everyday life when he learns why that's not a good idea we learn a bit about the beautiful craft of writing that he's been on,positive +with david arquette starring you would immediately think this to be a stupid movie well it is a stupid movie with a horrid script but the f x namely the eight freaks makes this flick a hoot to watch a tribute albeit on the silly side to those great mutant creature features of the 50s arquette and sheriff sam help in fighting off the toxic waste induced giant havoc on their tiny town in arizona also in the cast are doug e doug rick leon and the charming scarlett johansson,negative +written by brilliant tv writers and dee caruso which way to the front was the last of the jerry lewis movies until hardly working almost a decade later comedy is evidently an acquired taste and admittedly he can occasionally be his own worst enemy when he as producer director but even in the of his films there are always moments of brilliance br br which way manages to be amusing entertaining and yes quite funny it is somewhat unlike any of the typical lewis films the pace is very upbeat and are lots of excellent supporting players a kind of jerry does heroes the whole thing looks kind of like an tv pilot and you will either love it or hate it but hopefully you laugh,positive +i saw this film when it came out let me see now this guy who had earlier down manages to the funding and hire to document what sounds on the surface like a bold and daring act to down the world's highest peak well and here comes the spoiler what happens see after a large crew of people manage to help him get near the top and a life is lost in the bargain he gets on his manages to make it down a very very short way at which point his opens and that's that and instead of burning the footage to hide this amazingly ending to an embarrassing the guy goes ahead and releases it spoiler ends i do admire the amazing courage and effort it must have taken the film crew to get some of the stunning shots they got another spoiler oh yes one of the is killed by falling into a the narrator who is the casually remarks that according to the religion since this man's body cannot be his soul will the world forever and never know rest is it worth it the narrator yes he answers because it served the purpose of letting this clown down i can't remember ever seeing a more piece of celluloid this is one to miss at all costs,negative +this film was full of suspense and was well directed the black and white effect made it a great mystery fay who was married twice to the famous musician henderson and also the son of elliott son fell in love with scott mason wins the hearts of all the ladies in the picture even freeman anne and marriage whenever he can dr jane famous radio and tv actress in the 30's and 40's played mostly small town mom's warned the ladies about sick mind and the abusive childhood he had when growing up which caused his love hate relationship with women fay and scott would have been greater stars with more rewarding roles but their lives were short lived in real life this film is beyond it is a great 1945 film classic for many generations to view and enjoy,positive +remember greg the bunny it was this show that started on the independent film channel but got turned into a full blown sitcom on fox my cousin and i thought it was pretty funny beyond the idea of puppets taking on tv pg material puppets who kill occurs in a similar universe where puppets live in the same world as people and like us take on jobs and lives of their own let's just say if you couldn't handle that then don't bother watching as this show is a profile of 4 puppets who fell out of good through drug abuse and violent only to end up in a half way house there's plenty of violence sex and bad language so it would never make its way to u s network tv as if puppets weren't enough the fact that this takes place in canada makes it even more disturbing btw the government pays for this and i think any american television viewer would demand more demented cable tv fodder like this i don't know where you can get it in the u s beyond extra satellite tv but i'd advise you give it a try really funny stuff it on the comedy network in canada,positive +i'm a fan of jeff bridges so i this up on dvd without having seen it previously i instantly became a fan of kevin spacey also br br the general plot of alien in human body has in my experience been done to death but i liked the approach taken in k which struck me as quite different and much more sensitive than most bridges makes an excellent doctor you want to tell him what's on your mind and expressions and gestures are perfect in the role br br the interaction between and the entirely human characters in the clinic is delightful particularly the subtle manipulation of their behaviour br br the ending is bittersweet i like choice but the final scenes with bridges made me,positive +buster keaton was arguably at his most enjoyable when he did short 20 minute films and they don't come more funny than this gem the dead pan comic gets involved in a mix up with a wanted this leads to his elaborate of several street cops and fellow passengers who the his face from the wanted signs the goat is a with brilliant site gags from the opening scene at the bread right up to the wonderful elevator chase at the end a keaton film never feels as though its silence is lacking as sound is never something you needed with him his movies explain themselves through the wonderful yet incredibly dangerous things he did to himself it isn't hard to see just how influential he really was the man is every bit as thoroughly amazing today as he was in,positive +the only redeeming feature of this movie is steve carell like john wayne i've never seen steve carell stretch too far as an actor but it doesn't matter he always plays his one role perfectly br br as marty once said comedy must have internal you can have 4 men on stage sitting in garbage and that's fine but if you bring a fifth man on stage who isn't in a garbage can you must then explain to the audience why he is not also in a garbage can br br why doesn't accept his role as a of god why when he does accept it is he so profoundly embarrassed by it why isn't anyone more impressed with the way that animals follow around they are explained away by the as trained animals possibly from a circus there's a terrible at the end and most everyone we see on the and is saved but surely thousands of people would have been killed by the there is no post disaster emotional atmosphere at the end instead most of has finally seen the light and is about to the lone bad for br br i gotta admit i also liked the fish in the to the presence of,negative +the is by far the best single entry in the genre i can recall the charge against it made by critics it is a cut and of two previous films with some added new material to make it appear fresh misses the fact that this cut and approach one of the central problems of the sword and movies with most of these films the middle third horribly usually involving a sappy love story or political intrigue or both queen falls in love with and her evil brother plots against them etc it's often hard to hold on through this to watch the exciting finale the cuts all that crap from the source films and adds a rather narrative of a bullying his way into power it should be noted that this episode also functions as a distant but critical remark on the rise of in italy this also sets up a fine final match between the real and his br br in a focus i might also add that further editing has improved individual scenes borrowed from the other films for my money the scene here is much better than it first appeared in and the captive women since it has been with the of several characters and their plot complications br br there are also monsters creepy underworld borrowed literally from mario an entire city destroyed and the usual amount of lovely babes in revealing since no one expects any of these films to compete with the seven samurai or even with the magnificent seven it seems a bit to hold the film's from other films against it,positive +it's less visceral than the only other film i've seen but the idea of holes into emotions and is vividly portrayed here as sets up long shot after long shot usually with long takes suggesting a sense of alienation in the musical inspired by grace chang are but welcome mile that add new to the slowly relationship between the young man upstairs and the woman it's not necessarily an easy film to watch although it's not heavy handed by any means so i'd warn any casual viewers who are looking for some indie entertainment like tarantino or guy ritchie but if you'd like to know something about isolation among city in and something more universal about city alienation and romantic yearning then watch this film immediately,positive +this movie was nothing like the book i think the writer of the screenplay must have wanted the job of writing the sequel to gone with the wind and been turned down this was his or her way of getting their ideas in anyway the only similarity between this movie and the story it was portraying was the names of the principle characters and the location of the main action none of the events that are shown in the movie happened that way in the book for a gone with the wind fan of both the book and the movie this was deeply disappointing if you loved the book scarlett don't watch this movie hoping to see it played out on the screen they only share the title in common,negative +i was so moved by this film in 1981 i went back to the theater four times to see it again something i have never done for another film no movie evokes the feelings of growing up in the 60's like four friends that it so closely my own experiences in the 60's is probably something that many will share is beautiful and why she didn't become a major star after this i will never know the acting by the entire cast is flawless as is steve script i always wanted to know how much of the story was but alas steve is no longer here to answer that question i have all but worn out my vhs copy of this great movie highly recommended,positive +the film's subject is poignant and very real it happened one can debate some artistic liberties taken by director and scriptwriter the subject is what makes the film nothing else i saw the film for the first time after the real was down in new and had served several years as an elected member of in india by the way she was not the first elected to as some reviewers stated the so called have been elected to the indian for decades in reserved br br while as a director is a hero to many india because he made accepted international films queen and elizabeth and a tolerable kiddie movie called mister india which was accepted by the average indian audiences and even got oscar nominations for elizabeth i do not place him as a top notch film director from india he fails in every department as a director except perhaps that he succeeds in getting some above average performances from his actors subtlety charm are not easy to find in his films melodrama in them br br his idea of using ali vocal rendering of the song in the early parts of the film was perhaps his single major achievement on the sound track of queen and then perhaps the doors during the gang rape sequence otherwise the film looked like a spaghetti western with sex and violence minus the great music one associates with them br br if you are looking for a good living indian film director who makes realistic cinema of international quality it is not movies you should see it is the later works of three indian film makers and and of course it is unfortunate that none of those directors had the financial support that had to give them and their films an international for instance made in or based on are more complete as films to an intelligent viewer dealing on the state of the in india did not have to resort to graphic sex and violence but merely suggested them of course did not make while effort them br br to credit he is and used his limited talent and modest resources in the film industry to take his products beyond home audiences for that effort i but queen will remain a great subject awaiting an accomplished director to deal with it,positive +excellent plot line makes this movie one of the classic cult ninja flicks of all time the plot being that this woman's soul is possessed by an evil ninja spirit i mean to be honest if i could obtain ninja ability through possession i would furthermore for being in the 80's and such the fact that the ninja aspect was far greater in this particular decade is evident and despite all that ninja 3 the manages to keep it original from the american ninja cookie cutter that plagued the 80's for so long this chick is definitely michael on i mean the first american ninja was great but let's get real folks it has nothing on ninja 3,positive +i never comment on a film but i have to say that this was one of the worst films that i have ever seen i feel it was made by a film student and not to put down talented film students but this was horrible i did not buy the lead actress and felt i was in acting class with her while she was on film her decisions were very safe and i feel she was other actresses in films and not acting and making her own decisions the direction was very confusing and the sound was than the actors themselves the end may have made a little more sense if there was someone the events and not a song i love but she her songs appear quite frequently in films maybe the song selection could have been a little more original the song crazy was such a cliché as i said before i never comment on films and have seen my share of good and bad but this was the worst sorry,negative +okay you saw the film and i saw the film true if not there are plenty of plot out there and there is absolutely no reason for us to waste time on any feeble attempts of mine to create another br br the most stunning aspect of the film is the performances by the two young men and the young lady in the leads their emotional honesty was as compelling if not more so than any performances i've seen in recent months i found i laughed cried and right along with them and that's saying a great deal because i'm often called a jaded and cynical jerk br br as one would expect the story is with clichés and i suppose that's the of the picture it's a story we've all seen many times before we all know how it will end from the moment they introduce though you may not know exact you know there will be a friendship a bittersweet romance and a gut wrenching conclusion if it weren't for the strong cast and directing this film would be nothing more than the that percent of the hallmark program schedule,positive +is an awful movie the script the story the acting are all simply laughable plays a man who pays to seduce his wife yes this is as ridiculous as it sounds both and offer incredibly and bad acting plays the aggressive and angry wife she is good looking but has zero acting talent the film has one hit song called which is composed and sung by i never could understand the hype around this song as i never found it particularly good though it is catchy the film is supposed to be a thriller but instead it just looks like a comic strip thanks to the terrible direction and writing avoid this at any cost,negative +the fact that the movie is based on a true story contributes to a better and of course more realistic experience and keeps the viewer focused on the basic theme of the movie the story is filled with unexpected twists which keeps the viewer at all times from the ending out in one moment you think that something happens to coach jones or radio well it does but certainly not what you'd expect br br the film becomes at no point boring or too sentimental and the acting performances by ed harris cuba gooding jr are some of their best in my opinion the ending puts a long lasting smile on your face and makes you wonder if what you are doing is right well i guess that was what michael mike rich were trying to do first class movie br br,positive +michael is probably too for most action movie fans and too hollywood for the intellectual crowd but i found it both extremely funny and very touching despite it being both and formulaic br br when three are sent to investigate a man claiming to be an angel they end up him on a grand tour of the mid western country side only to find that it is each of their own hearts that need investigation br br when taking this film apart as with most films today there isn't a lot of new material but when taken as a whole it has a original approach and is off beat enough to entertain one all the way through br br while not being a family film it is suitable for all ages and a good film to share with the whole family or that special someone br br michael isn't a great film but it certainly is a good film a touching film and well worth seeing br br,positive +the is for now the last of the high drama high camp airport series at first glance in the tv guide or dvd cover you would simply think that the film your about to view is as thrilling as the previous think again what your treated to is 2 hours and 3 minutes worth of unintentional laughs courtesy of the worst script ever writing it was even penned by eric roth who brought the world well one things for sure the script is not oscar worthy it's worthy the executives at universal in done the right thing by marketing this as a apart from the film does have an impressive cast list it's certainly watchable to say the least,negative +as an adult i am grateful to have caught this movie by chance when i was a teen during the time i was experiencing problems this particular movie managed to capture what i was seeing from a world how much pressure is too much i actually had to purchase this movie because it reached me on a level unlike most films try to reach an audience how far might an individual go for social acceptance who is the bad crowd teenagers do struggle trying to find out the answers to these questions but ultimately who is the pack leader if there must be one is it the strong the beautiful perhaps the person we just all seem to like could it be the moral character as far as the movie goes the cast worked together as if it were i only hope that more directors and producers try to create a piece of work that reaches all of us like this particular movie reached me i wish i could vote higher than ten because this particular title deserves much more,positive +this was a very funny movie not oscar worthy but the best dollar i've ever spent at blockbuster rupert jones is a shining star and very well might be the new jude law so if you're in the mood for a british teen flick rent it,positive +i love this movie my peers always try their best to defend it probably out of love for quentin tarantino or harvey keitel but they'll never convince me that this one should be here's some huge reasons why a the plot goes from kidnapping road trip movie to vampire inhabited strip bar slasher flick with no set up whatsoever suddenly something very real turns into something very fake which is like sitting the audience down to a feast then exploding it with dynamite b that juliette lewis is in it c preposterous ideas abound such as actual and leg brothers with the last name bad vampire make up jobs cheech playing three characters and a based gun that only fires when and belongs to a guy who goes by sex machine if robert rodriguez didn't try to be so innovative with his violence i had fun with this obvious popcorn flick the whole like he got the ideas by playing with action figures the only thing even close to being considered my favorite scene is george laugh out loud cheesy monologue after he kills his blood sucking horny for children terrible acting brother i swear i think they thought it up right then and there this movie's out to offend and ends up those who want the offensive horrible movie,negative +what a crappy movie the main character in this movie was supposed to be born and brought up in canada yet he had a indian accent than his parents is it just me or does look gay in this movie also do all the chicks in canada dress like at least that's how it is in this movie all the females are dressed like don't waste your time with this one the only good thing about this movie is the setting in beautiful wonder why bollywood is going through a it's because of movies like this i miss the good days when hindi movies were actually entertaining i couldn't even finish this movie because it was so bad i think bollywood needs to stop trying to the style of hollywood because it's just not working out they need to stick to their roots because that's what makes indian movies entertaining,negative +this film has got so much in it society adventure romance true violence sex religion all depicted without a single word and how come it sucks so bad this film will make you the origin of humanity if this were the product of you would rather defy theory and all together you cannot bear to watch this even with your brain shut down and now you are thinking i've got to see this i warned you i take no responsibility whatsoever should you regret spending over an hour staring at this piece of art well i did warn you this should be forgotten and buried for ever,negative +rules of engagement does a very good job of not drawing conclusions for its viewers it simply presents interviews footage from the footage of the phone conversations expert etc and allows you to draw your own conclusion br br i hardly intend to imply that the data presented here was done with 100 but it is very convincing you won't like any more after you see this than you did before but i tend to think that you will come to believe as i now do there is much that we were not told about what happened before and during the,positive +this is the most stupid movie ever made the story is laughable his wife and kid think he's insane then they don't then it turns out he is and i think they knew it all along there is a dog named ned that causes some problems and i think it's all his fault so does jim carey god only knows why virginia madsen took this role this is a career i think the target audience for this is 11 and 12 year olds and that adds up to 23 or maybe it's for 8 and 10 years olds which also adds up to 23 or maybe it's for really dumb 23 year olds or maybe really dumb year olds because that's 23 in reverse or maybe year olds would enjoy it because half of that is 23 i think looking up things on the internet about the number 23 would be more entertaining than this movie unless you wanted to see a comedy,negative +this movie is the proverbial 80s flick that shows the viewer that as long as he or she tries at something they can be better than the pros the main character doug showed off his skills in flying a aircraft which somehow to being fully capable of flying a jet aircraft and being able to kill people we all would like to have a few million dollars to play with maybe make a good investment buy a few things but the directors of this movie decided to make iron eagle not once not twice not even three times yes four times the thing to look most forward to are the in this movie just when you think the movie is going to end after a cheesy end sequence there's another cheesy end sequence then another definitely a movie one must watch to believe and maybe own just to remind of how awesome the 80s must have been,negative +admittedly before seeing house of wax i assumed it would simply be a second low quality teen slasher film following in the footsteps of such movies as the darkness or horror after catching an advanced showing at my college campus i can honestly say that the people at dark castle have done an excellent job with the task of making a slasher br br starting with the usual of a teenage horror film such as the small group of friends on a road trip coming across an odd taking them through country back roads meeting creepy locals after the slow but mandatory back story this movie really reaches a fast clip paris hilton appears in this film as many already know but i really have to give it to her for her performance clearly her acting wasn't worth an oscar but the filmmakers use her appearance to its by two blatant of her let's just say less noble media appearance into this film ms hilton also claims the title for the greatest death scene in the movie and not simply because it was her death scene br br this movie is full to the with moments and cheap scares but has definitely created quality suspense and tension between the characters the causes for the horror are in part based on making the audience care for the characters which we do by making the usual followed with a loud noise and camera some other scary moments these standard movie techniques adopted from many movies past are almost with this film and provide many good scares in fact there isn't a slow moment after they get to the small town where the house of wax museum is br br this film owes a lot to many previous movies of this and other genres though i'm not too sure how much came from the original 1953 movie of the same title references to such movies as both texas chainsaw saw and even titanic see paris big death scene and you'll know what i mean are common but in the end the payoff will leave you scared and if you are looking for a good scare with a few laughs not bad,positive +everyone knows that succeeded in the first flight so how can there be any suspense or intrigue in this film well there is don't ask me how but there is partly due to the director's expert telling of the tale but mostly due to jimmy stewart's thoroughly engaging performance we are drawn into the story as if it were unfolding for the first time right before our eyes despite the fact that half the movie is filmed in a it is as dynamic as any action flick out there so if you are about seeing this movie because you think you know the story already give it a shot i think you'll be impressed,positive +well the of cannes may have liked this film but not me i am afraid if you like the type of film where shots for so long that you wonder whether the actor has fallen asleep or the cameraman gone for lunch then it may be for you a large part of it is like this with short into the realm of i did not find it shocking nor disturbing as some other reviewers have simply a little and pointless the only reason i did not give this one star is that the acting is commendable the film is fairly well shot the plot however has little to recommend a large part of the film just shows a grumpy woman teaching or listening to piano which might appeal to some people but you think this is harmless enough be prepared for some of pornography and sexual violence just to wake you up with a bad taste in your mouth not recommended,negative +i was fortunate enough to record this wonderful drama both parts when it originally aired on masterpiece theatre i loved it but lost it then one day while going through old tapes found it again i recorded it to dvd and watched and wow i still love it the leads are excellent and my only complaint is i wish we had seen more what a man and she's so strong and wonderful living in a time and age where her and how she deals with it is seen as unfortunate and evil even her own brother tells to her face that he doubts that a man will ever have her sigh unfortunately my copy is not the greatest with wear and tear over the years and i too would absolutely love to own this on professional dvd if it ever happens,positive +despite the apparent similarity with the simpsons loud fat dad mum 3 children a pet typical suburban home family guy is actually and opposite to the simpsons its avid use and sometimes too much of gags has been its main stay since the first season while some hit the nail on the head the and danny bit in season 5 is spine hilarious others are less successful coming across as contrived and they can be annoying especially when they don't advance the story line the jesus bits are entirely unfunny and insulting br br the chemistry between and brian lends itself to pure comedy gold so much so that chris and meg only manage to fulfill the role of the obligatory teenagers in your typical dysfunctional family br br however the feature film the story is horrible thank goodness it went straight to dvd br br contrary to tiresome comparisons with the simpsons seth approach with family guy is actually very different it's much more politically incorrect and amazingly a lot more br br creator of and john criticized family guy for having extremely low graphic standards from a standpoint i don't think it looks that bad though the and accuracy of some of the spoofs are quite successful br br all in all a great series to go with a great big bowl of in ranch and ass jokes,positive +pulling in 2 6 million viewers one has to wonder what everyone's opinions on the storyline plot is br br reading the run down over at lifetime i was led to believe that this would be an edge of your seat thriller about a single mother being stalked and finally confronting the stalker sadly i was mistaken while the main plot is interesting enough single mother run off road one night then is stalked by same guy the reasoning behind the stalking left nothing but a really bad taste in my mouth br br laura plays the victim and she does it well whether it was all those years on place or not she does well in this movie playing a mother who would do anything to protect her son from harm and she's looking pretty good too these days br br is really the only good thing about this movie i think many people will identify with the main character after discovering why the stalker is stalking it will be a view only once type of movie,positive +this movie came highly recommended but i am not sure why i am not really and adam sandler fan though apart from in 50 first dates where he from his usual angry man routine damon wayans is an undercover cop and adam sandler is the guy he to be friends with for a year in order to bust him naturally sandler is rather angry about this betrayal cue angry shouting and silly from the king of variety they end up on the run and of course they become friends again after a big involving sandler shooting wayans in the head he survives thus he is need i go on you will work out what is going to happen if you do watch it anyway when our dvd player kept hey it was 80 from the supermarket ok it was commented that the player knew the film was boring and was to play it,negative +great movie oh yeah full of energy full of fun presenting our generation our alienation a to positive thinking despite this world we live in a tale of a great party a tale of a bunch of friends who desperately must do something in a week end and the only thing to do is the club but fun and keep boredom away very funny nicely grotesque in a few points nicely shot and great soundtrack,positive +i think that there was too much action in the end don't you think that too there was romance adventure that just like told me to put 9 to this movie but action place was too long i liked reeve a bit i didn't understand why did he have to die i thought that one of the girls gonna die too but my lucky no one else who i liked didn't die how about you what did you liked i saw the movie twice actually and after that i bought that too it was worth it who did you liked best person the book was really really really cool and the actresses and actors too everything was perfect what was the song name in the end will someone answer my questions too please please please,positive +when i sat down to watch this movie i thought that it might be slightly good but no it was a ok film not good but not bad for most of it but then you get to the ending and it all credibility they should have just left then dead they did not leave the last bit it did not make any sense if they had something at they beginning about a plane crash yeah but we didn't so it didn't work the first bit is ok and i give them credit for that but the rest is just plane bad and unnecessary if you are thinking about going and watching this movie don t it is awful go and rent something that is actually worth watching i give it 2 10,negative +the most stupid of movies i've ever seen the final scene is just of stupidity my recommendation if you really like movies never never rent or buy this one do not repeat my mistake and keep a good impression of him which i've lost,negative +what a great movie this is i found it full of the delightfully unexpected pain of being a single father of a teenage girl and it is set in a island well br br gerard brings his special european flair to this story about a divorced father of a teenage girl they are on holiday together and she begins to add to the excitement on the island in many unexpected ways but you will need to see the film for yourself to see all the hilarious situations they find for themselves br br there are a few cult classics which all teens should see this movie should be added to the list in addition to dirty dancing day off bill and ted's excellent adventure rocky horror picture show and animal house my father the hero should be required film study watch it as if you had a teenage daughter and you'll be rolling with laughter watch it with your teenage daughter and prepare to be laughed at for months,positive +bad bad bad those three lines sum up this crappy little film that can only attract idiot children and their parents to the cinema and its 1 movie in america what is this country thinking mike myers looking more like micheal jackson some lady that falls asleep within 3 minutes a lame plot with dirty jokes it's and awful when green eggs and ham comes out in 2005 i'll be so happy not eddie murphy and tracy morgan will probably play two trying to find the lost green eggs and ham they'll try to chase sam i am and that mean guy who are running away with it i hope they don't ruin the classic book don't waste time and money by seeing this,negative +i watch a lot of movies a lot of movies getting a graduate degree in film forces one to watch 2 3 flicks a day for years it all gets very mostly because i feel i have seen it all so rare is it when i get surprised by something mostly i hope to see something as good as i expect it to be br br death bed is so unlike anything i have ever experienced i actually had to stop the dvd in order to rant about its genius br br the rhythm of the piece is psychotic it's structured in a way that forces the viewer to stay outside of the frame it's not like something like halloween with all its snappy editing and shots death bed actually comes across as kind of dreamy the most pretentious way i can phrase it is this is samuel making a haunted house movie i mean it's a manic bed that eats people and fried chicken out in the middle of nowhere and there's bone hands i can barely my feelings about this film and yeah to liking this will open you up to but things get real same y after awhile its hard to be a and consistently stay engaged i can honestly say this is a fully unique film up and down from what it is to how its put together we need films like that movies that shake us out of our consider it like existential camp it's fun and it's stupid but also brilliant in its weird little way the worst horror villain of all time maybe but at least it isn't a guy in a mask,positive +there has been a political documentary of recent vintage called why we fight which tries to examine the infamous military industrial complex and its grip on this nation it is considered both and in making its case against both that complex and the war fiasco we are currently involved in in iraq yet a far more famous series of films with the same name was made during world war two by hollywood director frank although considered documentaries and having won oscars in that category this series of seven films is really and truly mere more in the vein of triumph of the will scenes of which for his own purposes that said that fact does not mean it does not have vital information that subsequent generations of world war two documentaries such as the the world at war lacked nor does that mean that its value as a primary source is any the less valuable they are made and after recently some used dvds at a store i found myself with the opportunity to a free dvd with my purchase i chose dvd's four dvd collection of the series br br rarely has something free been so worth while there are no extras on the dvds and the sound quality of the these films provide insight into the minds of americans two thirds of a century ago when racism was overt as in many of the classic warner brothers pro war cartoons of the era and there was nothing wrong with blatant of facts the seven films produced between 1942 and 1945 are to war the nazis strike and the battle of britain the battle of russia the battle of china and war comes to america br br overall the film series is well worth watching not only for the obvious reasons but for the subtle things it reveals such as the use of the for terms like x millions when referring to dollars rather than the modern or the most graphic in the whole series a japanese sword the center of yet it also shows the of trying to apply past standards to current wars the lesson of world war one avoid foreign was not to world war two whose own lesson act early against has not been in the three major wars america has fought since korea vietnam nor iraq the fact that much of this series on the of the times it was made in only its historic value in today's information times it may not help you sort out the truth from the lies and propaganda of today but at least you'll realize you are not the first to be in such a position nor will you be the last,positive +a true geek girl's dream high tech high drama smart guys steamy sex and large explosions very large explosions sam is so natural in the role of that tapes of the real sound odd apparently he had a voice similar to ronald reagan the triumph and tragedy of is one of the 20th most stirring dramas and this movie stands as a model of what drama ought to be the facts are allowed to speak for themselves while the fictional parts are used to and fill in the record not to call attention to themselves an interesting fact some of the technical details used had only recently been and so are of special interest a must see,positive +i had the recently of viewing what is said to be the last technicolor print and found it much and more touching than remembered also closer to the original material basically all screenwriter n richard did was change much to spoken dialog and insert a scene or two including a very amusing one for pearl oliver smith's production design is in the guys and dolls adaptation mode but it works well for this unrealistic quality stereotyping and racism are present but not to a inducing degree further for a movie of its time it's pretty frank the adultery violent behavior drug use and self destructive of the of row are not at all in the telling but there are beginning with all that variation from the stage text the loss of so much brilliance no wonder the family doesn't like it the especially of sammy davis jr 's material is trendy and vulgar george knew what he was doing folks you didn't have to mess with it so much and while and act well and their singing sing well there's a huge between the characters' singing and speaking voices you're constantly aware of the what really counts here of course is the music among the greatest ever written for the theater anywhere despite all the it survives and you'd have to be made of stone not to be moved by it if the treatment isn't entirely to the liking and it shouldn't be there's still no reason not to spend some bucks to this ambitious filming of masterpiece and make new generations more aware of his genius,positive +well how to make a movie as provocative as possible this straight shocker tries by having two low life paris women one prostitute one recently raped ex porn actress no less out and go on a national sex and killing spree of men in particular br br very short running time gives you a hint of the experimental nature of this violently hardcore thelma louise but it's done completely without irony or for any possible feminist message and since we don't get very close to the protagonists the violence actually feels muted and numbing and maybe that's a good thing br br as a liberal of freedom of expression i always welcome when the serious movie industry to contain full on sex scenes but the question is does it work for the movie as a whole is it any good here not very although we're given a new meaning to the phrase a shot in the ass br br 3 out of 10 from,negative +this movie includes one of the best characters and dialog that glover has ever played uma thurman and are also great in this movie but makes it a great depiction of young people trying to make it in new york,positive +i saw a great clip of this film which i'll talk about later and then the cast list and thought i might as well give it a go basically a down on his luck bartender randy matt dillon his cocky cousin carl paul reiser and murder investigation detective john goodman all have something in common they have seen the girl of their dreams whether married or not and they would do anything to please and be with her even die all three met saw her one night at the bar that randy worked at they have no knowledge of each other but all three cannot stop thinking of femme jewel valentine the lord of the tyler all three are telling their stories to someone they hope will listen to their pretty intense and revealing stories randy talks to hit man mr michael douglas who co produced the film carl to psychologist psychiatrist dr green and to priest father jimmy richard they confess all details of what they have been willing to do their sexual contact with her and eventually they are all brought together in one place all intent on being with her and all involved with the final shootout that leaves one dead one running away and eventually dying and one stunned and the unexpected guy she chooses but at the same time obvious it's sex obsessed douglas also starring andrew clay as and sandy martin as woman if i had to pick a favourite moment it would definitely be what was mentioned at number 11 along with cool hand luke on the 100 greatest sexy moments where tyler the woman the car with all over herself and in front of goodman very sexy apart from that not the most memorable film okay,negative +i guess they reward idiocy today because whoever came up with the concept for this movie was not shot on sight br br this is a morons delight the worst types of every ghetto and high school movie is dragged out twisted around and made even more unbearable every character in this movie has a story beyond sympathy lets pray for a remake where the whole school gets br br spoiler how does a school so run down have the internet in the first place,negative +a while back i bought the chinese box set of fist of the north star which came with all of fist of the north star fist of the north star 2 new fist of the north star and the fist of the north star movie while there is an american version and a few european versions they end half way through fist of the north star which is about as far as the movie goes br br the series is about the of an ancient martial art called shin ken fist of the north star named or ken for short there is only one each generation it takes place in a post apocalyptic future where martial arts is the most powerful weapon the two most powerful arts are shin ken and divine ken as my version calls it is really multiple styles but they are all the same since they allow a person to chop someone to pieces there are six masters and each has their own star is an art that allows someone to damage kill or someone by hitting a point on their body each art has their own big goes around saving the world from evil of going after his two brothers and three of the masters and their each army captain has their own way of fighting which makes each episode different and the number of soldiers bloody also is looking for his girlfriend who was stolen by the master shin along the journey is joined by his brother after him from his brother who calls himself or boxing king he is also joined by two masters who is looking for his sister who was taken by brother and both of them and die along the way other characters that join ken are two kids and who don't do much that's about as much as i can say for story since its so long and full of details the series is also divided into four parts br br what makes this show great is the fighting ken normally goes up against a group of people that think they are tough and then get killed in one hit which is funny and but makes for quick fights another great part is comedy ken hits someone and they think its nothing ken says they are already dead then they die other parts are when he'll hit them and tell them they have a few seconds to live then a counter will pop up or when he tells them they are not worthy of knowing his name then there is when he does a rapid fire kick or punch and goes da da da da da da etc eventually you might find yourself doing it with him one great part was when a bad guy thought he knew he went up to ken and hit him ken stood there said he was dead in a few seconds the bad guy counted off then died it isn't limited to ken everyone else kills just as quick there has never been a character as awesome as ken and their probably never will br br there are a few problems though one is the repetitive nature some flashbacks mainly the one with being taken are played too much and there are also too many episodes especially in part four of the series in fact the last episode is a of the whole thing another problem is the ending the final battle with wasn't that impressive ken and fought then talked etc until came to some realization and kills himself instead of ken killing him but it is better than the american and european versions that just cut off halfway br br who would i recommend this for this is for older teenagers and adults who like action since the styles cause people to explode or get cut into pieces the violence is very graphic and there is a lot of it but they don't show much blood because they usually make the death just a that still looks like the person but less colorful this was probably done to avoid censorship if you don't like action rent the american version if you like action though then i say go for the since you can see all of the series but they do not have the best english translation since it is subtitled by the chinese note my came with everything i said at the beginning some versions do not but you still have to get an to see all of the series and fist of the north star 2 if you don't think you can handle the subtitles for any reason then go get the american version another note in the version i got no subtitles were on the last disc for new fist of the north star although new fist of the north star isn't very good to begin with br br i give the show an 8 10 for its high amount of action good story and the of br br update br br animation released an english subtitled version you can the episodes as well as no ken 2 from or watch it free on site,positive +this was the best movie ever has seen on club this movie is a realistic critic of the society of the past and the next century it cause a very good impression to all the partners of club i recommend this movie to all the fans of troma and to all the people who like the good movies not the commercial movies,positive +not a bad concept i just wish they had taken it in another direction its a movie that tries to be interesting by shocking you with to begin with which works for most people with weak but besides this there's not much to this movie its not funny nor is it romantic so please somebody change that label and since i already knew that is actually legal most places and a million dollar industry i wasn't really shocked but most people do not know this and i thought that how the movie evolved after the secret came out was just disappointing because it could have been one of those shocking eye opener movies that would teach the ignorant about a fetish that is very much a reality for yes i did my hundreds of thousands of people so if you like watching bad movies that you can about how you could make them better while watching them than sure have fun doing that,negative +surprisingly good made for t v thriller i wasn't expecting too much from this one but i'm glad to say that this is one of the best of it's kind it's fast paced and features solid acting and interesting events br br the story gets you hooked on since the beginning and with many hits you can't help but find the movie very interesting br br the background story of character is hard but it turns into a nightmare when her husband is something much worse than her childhood friend's step father br br the stranger concept and his actions are disturbing if you consider that it is a common disease in society a serial rapist does not respect society or even his own family and this movie displays the sickness and crime in a perfect way br br my with the movie was the non sense situation when character returns home with her deranged husband after he's released on by that moment she knew what he did to his young relative played by the cute but that's just the typical hollywood scene that more trouble br br the climax scene shows following her husband when he's about to commit another rape then she calls the cops who come in time just to capture him the ending tells us that the husband was sentenced for 99 years in prison in real life br br the acting is also pretty good and is great and gorgeous as always the direction is also very good,positive +i'm just starting to explore the so far wonderful world of i've seen only 4 films so far and with the last one in the row it hit me that all of them were in fact about lonely women and their actions not a single non lonely female character out of 12 and all of them bring heavy impact of surroundings br br this film is probably the only one out of four where this impact is for good br br the gay theme is an almost standard part of background for films so it doesn't grab the accent although the looks of the characters might watch for the feelings not for their objects br br very nice and fleeting truly like a summer romance and while being a to thought and mind it gives some food for the soul,positive +this is about one of the worst movies i'd ever seen it's not the worst though the hands of fate holds that honor br br this movie has a lot of problems to begin this whole movie is a cheap rip off of the conan movies there's the babe in a skimpy dress wearing a the quiet asian warrior the cookie cutter bad guy the almost mindless and so on there's lots of continuity errors in this film some of the dumbest errors i've ever seen are in this film br br fortunately when i watched this film i seen the mst3k version joel and the make the film watchable otherwise i probably would've turned it off five minutes into the film,negative +i absolutely hated this movie even though the movie wanted to some kind of social message it was done in such a cliché ridden and melodramatic way like a mexican soap opera br br also the acting was terrible especially and her son that's one of the problems with movies they use celebrities that can't even act just to attract the masses br br i'm even more ashamed about the positive reviews here which sadly means are just being condescending to what's done here instead of giving honest and critical opinions that will help our film industry base itself on quality,negative +the most intense and powerful film i have seen in years there have been other films before that into the vietnam vet but nothing compared to this emotionally film as a typical american suburban family circa 1972 comes apart at the revealing the that vietnam has left on our all of our collective souls the cast is a fantastic with all four actors with kathy bates a stand out giving riveting performances what is wonderful about this film is that you take no sides but understand all four characters and empathize with them even though all four have and needs there are scenes in here that are so powerful as family secrets and feelings are revealed such as the confrontation between son and mother that will have you emotionally and in tears of anguish i actually cried in this film something i rarely do the shocking end is a a much overlooked film that should be seen i rate this 1996 film a 10 10 a piece highly recommended especially in this day and age with again our country in a hideous war our shouting of atrocities and again our young men and women returning with deep psychological with their deep pain of deeds done in the line of honor a must see film,positive +this second pairing of e and the road runner is a great as the first predictable maybe but i don't care and still laugh so much whenever i see it the e road runner shorts always had the most special place in my heart so knowing that the second disc of the golden collection would not only feature 11 of this but they would be in order 2 through 12 the first episode was on volume 1 made me get misty eyed i love this stuff this animated short can be seen on disc 2 of the looney tunes golden collection volume 2 it also features an commentary by micheal br br my grade a,positive +league of gentleman has been the most disturbing british sitcom to be on t v and how can a funny movie be so bad rated they just have no taste this film will make you want to watch over and over again and still find it funny br br it is surprising that it has done bad but it is british the cinema do crap most of the time but this time it in my words a boost with comedy with a over this is a top british comedy and better than dodge ball so by this and it won't prove you wrong as i don't really laugh through films but this film was amazing through comedy with the best characters but i was a bit disappointed of how much edward and were in there for back to buy this film and it won't disappoint you,positive +had its moments i enjoyed the action sequences but i the screenplay and plot i hate this film so much i'll just write about the dumbest part first of all the plot would never happen second the of the chinese president was for that would never happen finally the dialogue non chinese actors to play chinese roles is understandable but to write dialogue for them that's totally off is dumb for those of you who understood the chinese in the film you know what i mean,negative +this is the only shore movie you should ever see o k it's the only one i've ever seen and i think i've made good choices i normally find kind of tired but he is very funny in this movie actually the script is pretty funny and shore doesn't the other actors with his what do you call it anyway this is a funny if ultimately forgettable film 3,positive +this was the typical women prison movie i thought the women were very sexy and the outfits were great all the camera did was focus on the women and the women were always in provocative poses for the camera and they were always scantily dressed which i loved this is your basic prison movie of the 70's all i can say about this film is that it's extremely cheesy but the women are gorgeous and their are great,negative +this movie is horrendous the acting is cheesy and laughable if you know anything at all about the match action is boring in fact any episode of power rangers contains more realism than this movie the consists of no more than one pass and a shot of guy landing over the try line or being without the ball and hand held shots of who knows what it's impossible to tell there is nothing of the excitement skill and construction of try that real contains as for the this is a bunch of trying to imitate a tradition they know nothing about much like the white character that should have been left out of the film next time there's a movie made we can only hope that people who know make it,negative +first i'm sorry for my english second the true story of this episode soldiers operation 6 soldiers were killed hundreds of were killed too within 10 years the soviet army has lost less than 15 thousand person and killed over and civilians there is no without permanent help of usa the veteran of war traditions there are no traditions in this film there is no military there is no first jump no farewell to the fighting there is no delivery of awards and there is nothing sacred there is only a hatred to soviet army being in this area on investigation we have revealed start up jet by an exact place could not define so have asked to give easier square also have covered it through pair minutes here it was the reality of fights so there was no feeling oblivion these feelings have appeared then already on other war and in other state others were children more kindly more and were as fathers well and fight full orgy shooting in anywhere mental attacks young ben not killed both not broken through and full absence of mutual aid that there was a main thing on this war even americans accused us of of force against and here it is direct on the contrary in the summer 1981 i about myself have firmly solved that personally should fill up a minimum 50 as a result accepted plan has been under and on a i strongly and as after returning the first months there was a feeling of that i not was at war up to the end not business there have completed all how follow there was any vague but an oppressive sensation of with itself and such here night ideas can be and out of place at all officers really in film are not present absolutely in occasion of that what is the time they spent with staff on fighting is constant new year on fighting from where did they take in mountains and so on br br if you want a fairy tale about war 9 and is for you if you want truth you must see come and see or ask for fire,negative +truly a wonderful movie bruce willis gives his always outstanding comedic romantic acting power to this message movie and the movie brings hope to the losers many of us know we are a gift to everyone of middle age whose spent time seems both full and yet empty there is more around the next bend and it can be great and romantic leave the recent past and return to the lessons of the distant past and then take off on a favorite flight to your better future if we could re live our youthful experiences if we could really remember the events that shaped us wouldn't we find a special kind of freedom see the movie open the gift,positive +rita hayworth is just stunning at times and for me the only reason to watch this silly film despite the overdone 1940s rita was one of the all time women of hollywood in fact for a couple of years i can't imagine anyone that looked better except maybe elizabeth taylor in her prime br br anyway the co star of the show gene kelly does not play his normal likable at least the kind of guy we all know him from in in the rain here kelly's danny much of the time phil who i loved on tv at sgt is so stupid in here as genius you will just cringe listening to his dumb jokes and they are stupid br br the visuals are good with great technicolor which almost looks terrific you get to see a lot of pretty women in here too not just hayworth unfortunately the story isn't all that much it centers around hayworth deciding about a career choice along the way we get the normal treatment of marriage and we get an dumb ending all in all an film except as a showcase for beauty,negative +quite possibly one of if not the worst film ever conceived cast and acted in the history of cinema who on god's green earth would ever think to cast cameron diaz and james as a couple she looked like his mother god forgive me but i am just being honest and that was the least of the many problems this horrible excuse for a film it was a horrible statement against women but at least if you're gonna blame women for the problems of the world tell a decent story not one with so many annoying loop holes and pathetic excuses for suspense and thrills everybody should get their money back who went to see it in theaters or bought the dvd,negative +western union is something of a forgotten classic western perhaps the reason for this lies in the fact of its on dvd in the united states however all is not lost as it has now appeared on region 2 in england this being a in some ways is not only but totally ironic when one considers that a movie depicting the and establishment of such a uniquely american organization as the western union company is without a region 1 release it belief it simply doesn't make sense br br produced by fox in 1941 western union was directed by fritz lang this was only the second occasion the great german director to direct a western he had done an excellent job the year before with the return of frank james and would have only one more western outing in with the splendid notorious lang was no ford or but with western union he turned in a fine solid western that holds up very well beautifully photographed in early three strip technicolor by edward it a good cast headed by robert young randolph scott and dean jagger the female lead is taken by virginia who really has little to do in the picture an actress who never made anything of her career her presence here is merely br br it is curious that robert young has top billing over scott it is clearly scott's picture from the very beginning when we first see him in the film's terrific opening scene being chased by a across the young doesn't have much to do throughout the movie and seems out of place in a western he just looks plain silly going up against barton in a an actor who never really distinguished himself except perhaps with young appeared in a string of forgettable romantic comedies in the forties and fifties culminating with his greatest success when for seven years he was tv's marcus in the seventies he died in 1998 at the age of br br western union the connection by wire of and salt lake city scott plays a outlaw hired by western union boss dean jagger to protect the line from and to also take on and his gang who are trying to destroy the line for their own ends robert young is the young engineer from back east who joins the company and with scott for the affections of miss some comic relief is provided by and so some would say by slim and john carradine turns up in a role as the company doctor br br altogether though a good western albeit on region 2 but in good quality that fans will be delighted with my only is that there are no extras not even a trailer and that terrible cover with those dull graphics ugh br br interestingly the associate producer on western union was harry joe brown who later with randolph scott would create a that would produce some of scott's finest westerns in the fifties,positive +i love this movie i watched it over and over when i rented it from netflix it had a lot of substance and meaning for me i think many people will enjoy it i have read and seen quite a few lesbian stories over the years and am happy to say they are getting better and better in how they are presented they tend to have a more positive feel for the life style and of gay women its nice to see two women find themselves and be as happy as others in this society i think it is apparent that more and more movies with this theme will grace our theaters and tv screens many producers and directors are realizing that lesbians live very full and wholesome lives and that we have wonderful stories that should and can be seen by individuals as well as families without,positive +ok a film about a film that takes a crack at video movie making could be entertaining could be should be funny edgy even controversial or at least interesting and yet this film is the negative version of that was entertaining as a film producer shatner played crazy yet likable and had all the best lines the rest of the characters were boring predictable boring underdeveloped boring and boring the production value was lame you'll actually see the boom come down in one scene the sound was awful in some of the scenes hey i'm a big fan of and of now but their talents are wasted here at least the story had a clichéd ending,negative +directed written performed and filmed this quiet and danish film is an example of cinema at its best and if a person exists who can watch feast without being touched at a very fundamental level they are a person i do not care to know br br the story is quite simple in the two elderly maiden ladies and in remote where they have sacrificed their lives romantic possibilities and personal happiness in order to continue their long dead father's religious to the small flock he served one of the women's youthful sends to them a whose husband and son have been killed in france and who has her she meet the same fate although they do not really require her services the sisters engage her as maid and cook and as the years pass her and efforts on their behalf the aging to remain together and the sisters to live in more comfort than they had imagined indeed the entire village and depends upon her br br one day however receives a letter she has won a and is now by village standards a wealthy woman knowing that her new wealth will mean her return to france the sisters grant her wish that she be allowed to prepare a truly french meal for them and the members of their tiny the meal and the evening it is served is indeed a night to remember but not for reasons that might be expected for feast proves to be food for both body and soul and is ultimately her gift of love to the women who took her in and the villagers who have been so kind to her br br the film is extraordinary in every way in detail yet not in its presentation of them as the film progresses we come to love the characters in both their simple devotion to god and their all too human and the scenes in which her feast and in which the meal is consumed are powerful beautiful and incredibly memorable there have been several films that have used food as a metaphor for love but none approach the simple artistry and beauty of feast which reminds us of all the good things about humanity and which proves food for both body and soul highly highly recommended br br gary f taylor aka amazon reviewer,positive +rita hayworth plays a brooklyn nightclub dancer named rusty who in chorus she manages to get herself on the cover of a national fashion magazine but her impending success as a solo with romantic offers all around has smitten boss gene kelly at the bit terribly tired piece of technicolor candy with musical sketches the two worst of which are irrelevant flashbacks to the with hayworth portraying her own grandmother kelly as always dances well but acts with false sincerity when he's serious he's and the rest of the time he's flying on the script is a lead weight not even giving supporting players phil and eve any good lines 1 2 from,negative +this show is brilliantly hilarious i started watching in 2007 and had never heard of it before then after one episode i was hooked i'm never home to watch it so my wife bought me the entire series on dvd non stop laughs need i say more i wish it was still on tv because it is definitely worthy and a whole lot better of crap on currently on tv br br i wish they would make a movie seriously who wouldn't go see it kevin name alone will bring a huge to any movie the guy is make your stomach hurt funny br br just a really good down to earth believable show if you have the chance to buy it on dvd do it its worth it,positive +where to begin this hideous excuse for a motion picture makes plan 9 from outer space look well thought out the music it's from every single overwrought piece of in existence the focus hell doesn't matter if in one shot there are thirty people standing in the road the new angle shows a lone with a waitress posing for shots paul le diana louise wallace shawn fine actors who must have all been starving to death at that point in their lives and the director them to sign on with bits of cat food the production budget must have to well over fifty cents with the addition of the space alien machine which for a time must have meant that the oscar meyer mobile was not available when bad movies happen to good actors,negative +six tunnel sergeant dr death and blade help the young andre take out henchman in the best sequel this series has seen br br retro puppet master is atmospheric with many sets quality acting and some fun puppet fx what it lacks in gore it makes up for with an interesting well paced plot br br best quote dr death don't you know my friends smell the see the smoke br br this is easily the best dave film i've seen the actors do a more than credible job jack as turns in an inspired performance and the young does well with the puppets oh and the ring is cool br br john score is a nice take on the original puppet master tunes by richard band keeping the movie playful and eerie it's rare for a full moon score to actually add something to a film and this one does br br unfortunately dave allen didn't seem to be enough for band and co in the late 90's and beyond so all of the puppet action is done rod and string there's no stop motion such as the famous and funny scene in the original where looking for his and of course as with all of the full moon fare of this time period was shot in and around studios in so most of the bit parts were cast to hearing their accents was a bit annoying br br all in all this is probably one of the top 10 full moon films it's certainly the most inventive of the puppet master sequels,positive +the inspiration for the naked gun movies casts leslie who had only recently started doing comedy as the incompetent but heroic frank always having to solve an absurd case like airplane and the movies based on the series the humor relies on mel brooks style spot gags and silly comments namely the yes it is remarks along with the fact that remains very serious despite the nonsense around him and of course the final frame in which something keeps moving br br it's too bad that the show only had six episodes at least it the movies you can't go wrong with leslie in these sorts of roles i suspect that they all had fun filming it really funny br br before airplane leslie had starred in movies like forbidden planet harlow and the adventure as late as 1987 he co starred in nuts alongside barbra streisand and richard dreyfuss but since the first naked gun movie it's been all comedy all the time,positive +let's not kid ourselves this atrocity is not plan nine or cat women it is bad period the performances from drama school english to a care walk through tom the photography even in a good print is so murky it is occasionally hard to see what is happening the real problem however is the pointless nearly plot less story and the direction at a minutes it still feels endless br br the screenplay is especially inept there are two story lines that only at the very end of the picture tom is trying to create a super race using voodoo and modern science although there is little science in evidence which he can control he is keeping his wife prisoner for no discernible reason meanwhile a couple of petty crooks and a white hunter type guide are trying to find the village in which he is working in the expectation of gold and when they finally arrive tom decides that one of them the woman is the perfect subject for his experiments she is turned into a monster kills and then to normal she sees a gold statue half drowned in a pool tries to retrieve it and falls in the water and apparently the white hunter the wife in the final shot we see the supposedly drowned woman emerge as the monster again threatening a sequel now that really is a scary thought br br the producer samuel z in a lecture included on the dvd himself on the teenage market and satisfying it with ingenious low budget movies however it is difficult to see how anyone could think this would satisfy any sort of audience what appeal do they think it could possibly have the monster appears so rarely that it could hardly be called a horror film the jungle action is tepid and tedious there are no teenagers in it and no characters that teenagers could be expected to identify with br br the producers exposed minutes of film but they didn't make a movie this is a con trick and should be ashamed of his association with it,negative +even though i saw this film when i was very young i already knew the story of wild the thief taker and shepherd who escaped from prison br br apart from the liberty taken right at the end the film more or less follows the true story the temptation to bend the facts which is the hallmark of so many so called historical films is in this film and the film makers must be praised for that br br of the performances there is a poor performance and tommy steele is cast also good is stanley baker as the thief taker and alan is good as always br br because the film sticks to the facts it makes it suitable to be watched by all the family,positive +when you think the movies that come to mind would be his biggest and most controversial ones like platoon born on the fourth of july or natural born killers talk radio usually doesn't it's a pretty small movie actually more than half the movie takes place with barry at his radio station talking into his mike but believe me this is one of oliver greatest movies and should not be missed br br above all things it's a character study barry is a rude self destructive risk taking talk radio show host who says one too many things and starts to get in trouble with his boss his lover s his fans and even some nazis he doesn't like his audience and and a lot of them don't like him that or do like him but have no idea why but at the end he says on his show i guess we're stuck with each other br br see talk radio even if you don't like oliver stone movies you might be surprised i sure was br br my rating 10 10,positive +i just saw this on cable i liked it it held my interest and the dramatic choices were good the old couple were very good and good at being subtly creepy the cinematography is not so great but the video also adds to the sense of realism so its a trade off you know at times the girl would hit the new england accent to hard the accent would sort of come and go anyway i thought the film was well done overall though the storyline was strong and dramatic tension was held because you felt their was some subtle mystery going on even though things seemed mundane good job on a low budget another good purchase filmmaker way to go,positive +foolish go camping in the mountains only to run into a murderous gypsy br br the prey is a pretty run of the mill slasher film that mostly suffers from a lack of imagination the victim characters are all too familiar idiot teens which means one doesn't really care about them we just wonder when they will die not to mention it has one too many cheesy moments and is padded with endless unnecessary nature footage however it does have a few moments of interest to slasher fans the occasional touch of spooky atmosphere and a decent music score by don still it's business as usual for dead movies br br there are much better films in this vein but over all the prey may be watchable enough for die hard slasher fans although one might be more rewarded to watch just before dawn 1981 wrong turn 2003 or even the final terror 1983 again br br 1 2 out of,negative +i am having a holiday in hong kong now and i just saw gen y cops at the cinema what can i say it was cool br br everything you could wish for was in it basically just see it if ya can i'm gonna get my friend to send me the when it comes out br br only bad thing was the dodgy american style of talking employed by some of the actors like edison what's up my man but it did add even more humour to br br see it especially if ya like any of the following action comedy sci fi edison did a good song for it too so it edison heroes,positive +most definitely the saddest movie i have ever seen a must see just so you can walk away and realise just how precious your life and loves are the acting is superb the story line potentially br br remains a firm favourite of mine even after all this time,positive +the mystery of anna was a two part star historical t v movie based on the peter book the of anna anderson it keeps up historically pretty much names are changed etc but sticks to the real story quite well omar and claire bloom do quite well as the russian nicholas and alexandra what stuck out in my mind was the all too short portrayals by rex harrison and olivia de all in all it was a pretty classy production with some fine acting i was quite by the production values when it first aired on nbc in late 1986 also starring was the fine german actor jan who had previously starred in other russian epic peter the great br br i felt that part 2 over some important details of anna trip to america it's important to know too that in 1986 less was known about the anna anderson story back then it was still not known whether her claim to be the grand was genuine by the late 1990's more was known and anna anderson is now to have been a fraud br br too bad the networks aren't making fine made for television movies like this anymore,positive +another movie with a star of a wrestling so far i have noticed can't act on the movie screen this movie is no exception br br the action is dreadful it makes you laugh at what they say and they can't be serious they try to act scared but they fail and look stupid the acting is horrible possibly from the bad director br br the plot was stupid just some people get placed in a hotel because they're criminals and they get randomly killed off the movie is stupid all the way through making it one of the worst i have ever seen br br the only think and this is why i give it a 3 and not a 1 is because of the way dies the pole through the head and the stories of him was awesome br br overall this is a really horrible movie and you definitely shouldn't waste your time with it,negative +but had to see just how bad it could get the was thin to begin with but it just kept getting worse a female genetic student uses her research on to create a male because a weapon used in killed off of the worldwide male population the surviving men are either high in back alley or crazed in run down football plotting to the the entire process the of a large bowl of press a few buttons and you get a baby not only that but he will age to mid in a month and then begin to age normally how convenient eventually poor adam gets bored with the secluded cabin in the woods where his creator had raised him and steals her car to the br br this begins 90 minutes of unlikely chases convenient plot twists and several subplots that we never see resolved as adam quickly learns what men did survive are treated as criminals because they are dangerous that cannot help there genetic to violence the propaganda machines have been in full swing women into believing all men are and murderers this has led to being the norm the fall of christianity female only via and oh yeah world peace among other implied results all of which seem unlikely given that only 30 years had since the war adam stumbles from one bad situation to the next all the while being to be non violent and unable to really do much on his own behalf with the fbi on his trail looking for fresh meat and his creator trying to him for herself it seems he learns that violence is not limited to the male species after all br br all in all i would not recommend this movie br br i did however enjoy portrayal of the to hate director of the fbi and julie didn't do bad as hope the either,negative +thank you mario van for us of not only the existence of black but providing a compelling story that was easy to follow br br the plot backdrop music and talent were all top notch it was great that you used so many african american artists to tell the tale of the black cowboy it was also good to see billy zane in this movie does he ever play a good guy br br i would highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to their way of thinking this is an excellent movie and i feel to have seen it hopefully you'll feel the same,positive +blame guy ritchie the late 90s success of cliché ridden lock stock and two smoking a series of pitiful gangster movies from which the genre never really sadly rise of the the true story of isn't likely to reverse that trend despite a decent lead performance from the film falls victim to all too familiar east end stereotypes they're either busy blowing someone's brains out or a scantily clad blonde br br from football in the eighties to a key figure in the criminal underworld during the nineties rise through the ranks of leaving the for becomes a where he's given to kick the crap out of anyone here he gets in with notorious leaders pat and tony tucker stone and begins to realise gang ain't what it's up to be br br there is fun to be had writer director julian laughable join the as every sentence seems to start with an gonna or or on occasion then i only went typically with a mandatory ' the direction too of especially the obvious glee gets from filming violent scenes in close up and in the case of the bloody shotgun to the face denouement in br br director use of the classic rise and fall gangster narrative isn't what will to big screen obscurity nor is it the fact that half way through the film annoyingly in favour of the events culminating in the infamous shooting of and tucker it's sickening for shot violence that ruins the film whether it's a brick in the face or axe in the head during a vicious attack on a train it's all unnecessarily prolonged doesn't so much pack a punch as leave you feeling and more importantly you of two hours of your life you won't get back,negative +i am sitting here watching the film tango and cash it led to a discussion about other great late 80s movies the ridiculous and connection came up br br granted i have never seen and if i still value my life i never will joshua quotes this as his movie of the year wow wow i am utterly that this movie exists but so much more than that the fact that joshua likes this move me to the core i think joshua is one interesting guy br br br br,negative +went out with my friends and saw this movie last weekend here in london we didn't know what to expect the poster gave some of it away and i won't say any more so as not to spoil the plot but we found it to be an excellent film with great acting convincing plot and scary as hell having done some research on the making of the film i have to hand it to those guys the filmmakers actors writers etc for having put together such a film with such limited resources post production very well done too for all of that i give them a 10 out of 10 and i hope they will continue their fine work keep it up guys you rock,positive +why would i say that because when the movie ended i was in a good mood so many people at the end wow bruce willis can be funny for those of you who believe he learned how to act after the sixth sense you must be very new to his career he won an emmy for best actor in a comedy series before he did die hard it's like saying wow the sky learned to snow on the ground just because it's your first winter in life the movie was hilarious what my mind is how some other comments made about this movie claims that there are no memorable lines or scenes spoiler br br the i am not a loser have you ever seen a grown up scream i am not a loser before br br i thought this movie was great it was funny it was never boring and in a cheesy disney sort of way it had a point to make something to do with life and of course any kid movie trying to do that is in over it's head but for once i didn't care br br if you haven't watched it do so you'll like it,positive +this is one of the few movies that was recommended to me as absolutely brilliant that really is if you give this movie a low note than you really missed the point you could describe as manipulative but what if it is really serious that she gets ill when the love she is sure of isn't answered but what would you do when you are sure that the other one loves you and is rejected by the fact that you are ugly wouldn't you fight for it at least i think it is better to fight for it that die in and it reminds me of the fact how i as a man react at first sight completely on the physical of and don't look further at the person she is or might be this movie confronts me with very questions about respect trust feeling manipulated and so on how do i now if someone me or is just trying everything to make contact what i think to be the most outstanding feature in this movie is that made it absolutely believable that falls in love with,positive +the 2002 tv was directed by geoffrey for bbc television the basic plot is a coming of age story for the protagonist played well by as a teenager works in her family run house everyone expects her to stay at home then marry an appropriate husband and settle down to family life expects this too br br everything changes when meets kitty butler a beautiful and talented performer who dresses in men's clothes and captures the hearts of her audience the audience includes who is sexually attracted to kitty in a way in which she's not attracted to her boyfriend br br the remainder of the film follows to london and through her ups sort of and her downs horrible as a lesbian and sometimes male br br as is typical for the bbc every role no matter how small is performed by an excellent actor the bbc has a depth and of performing artists that is truly marvelous none of the supporting actors stands out in my mind they were uniformly good both and are wonderful and their acting carries the film along br br it's always sad to be reminded of how difficult life can be for someone who doesn't fit mold for what is normal i know it isn't easy for lesbians even in the u s even today imagine the obstacles to love and happiness for lesbians in victorian england we've come a long way but we still have a long way to travel,positive +the depiction of character was so unlikable my wife and i were hoping that the or some other character would not only cut off head but do it slowly and painfully br br i mean this brent guy played it over the top like he was on broadway and he was such a relentless jackass that we had no sympathy for him whatsoever br br i could go on with specific of how this movie failed but i prefer to not the energy br br just skip it and go for the johnny version either that or rent the haunted of sleepy hollow animated it is quite good entertaining for kids and adults br br better yet read washington original story,negative +once a year in america saturday morning would give way to new cartoons usually sometime in america just about the time school started br br i guess this was to make not having school on that more bearable br br one friday night before the premiere of the new saturday morning cartoons a movie came on br br at the core i had not a clue who cushing nor were clearly they were not from the same country so i couldn't grasp why they were traveling together br br i do recall seeing the in the fire breathing mouth br br what this movie for me is the opening with the metal and then suddenly we get the band playing as we see the factory br br how do you end a movie like this the music again and two cops as the appears behind them br br whatever reason i remember watching this movie more that friday night than i do any new cartoon that came on the following morning br br that was definitely the late seventies br br it would be during jurassic park i believe before i would see this movie again br br yes people in costumes there was the fire again br br still loved the ending with the two cops br br finally it would be nearly another decade before i would send off for the movie on dvd br br now i would just watch the beginning and intro br br oh i do love much of the movie of all these sci fi jules wells movies this one stands as my br br what i note now is that one of the cops begins turning around a wee bit too soon then turns back then he and the other cop are as they turn once again to look behind themselves at the br br perhaps for me this movie stands as the best of the saturday morning shows which is why i enjoy it so much,positive +jane russell was an underrated and singer see son of and gentlemen prefer but you'd never guess it from her display here a real stinker produced by howard hughes in his all too successful effort to kill off rko radio pictures br br the movie kills its first opportunity to show off sexy jane when it places her in a bubble bath and then has her singing i'll be switched if i ain't and it's all downhill from there in her autobiography russell for the movie's number for trouble because it was supposedly so nowadays you could show it on the disney channel by the way said autobiography has a jaw dropping photo of russell in a bikini far than anything,negative +family guy has been hilarious for so long but i feel like it lost it's sharp and random humor at the start of season 6 although i enjoyed blue it felt like the remaining episodes were up episodes where the producers made little attempt to fulfill family guy's reputation of american social satire br br i have seen all the episodes from season 7 and i was utterly surprised and happy that family guy has found their true colors again season 7 delivers a lot of fantastic episodes and with a lot of jokes about the current situations in america which is exactly what we need right now more fun br br i feel that the simpsons has lost its spark all together this show however has made a terrific from going down to proving how perfectly satirical they can be great job,positive +since frame number 1 you know the good guy in the suit and is he has no luck or so he believes with that music on the car radio and the dubious talk by his best friend and company associate who is taking him to parts unknown through a desert road wished simply to be left alone to take a flight abroad next day well someone we're left guessing br br the film goes a long way – that'll find short – to a closing scene with the man hearing the same music on a cab to the airport in between a number of lucky people have found different ways out of the story some dying some being born others falling into harrowing distress this time he's really or is he the film is a sort of one man show by director who only left the sound recording and the special effects to other competent people those who typically reject portuguese films due to sound problems and unclear speech recording must go searching for other topics to criticize this time the car crash this isn't spoilers the film is too clever for that makes for a great scene and apparently was done with cheap equipment us studios take notice you may spare a dollar or two by hiding competent portuguese directors br br the rest was done by from the script to the dialogue from camera work to editing if part of the dialogue were ad then he again must be for the acting direction and the casting with mostly inexperienced actors a large number of non speaking parts are credited but most of those people were used for the music video clip and the making of used in the film's trailer the cast has a dozen actors and actresses of whom ten relevant persons and a huge number of relationships – that are revealed step by step in a thrilling suspenseful way reminiscent of the best genre authors and do come to mind by the cat and mouse play between the director and his public and the nature of his characters br br i recommend this thriller and comedy to portuguese language and if the film gets to have a decent translation of its dialogue to anyone abroad who enjoys those genres,positive +i can't believe how bad this film is for starters the movie deals with the legend of big foot and a group of people having a close encounter with the creature the premise is interesting and having lance in the cast aliens gave the a promising unfortunately that's as interesting as it gets this looks like a direct to dvd release or so i guess this is basically a production less affair with probably the worst editing with a constant to black in between every scene i've seen in my life and acting that will sure make you cringe why lance picked this is completely and the movie takes from just about any other genre movie from blair witch project the video scene and predator to alive this is supposedly based on true events but the only truth to be found is just how bad this movie is i'm usually not a harsh critic and believe me i did try to enjoy this trash but eventually did not do yourselves a favor and steer clear from this dvd br br i'll try to put it mildly this movie is pure garbage and it made me want to take my gun and shoot my neighbors or ask blockbuster for a br br and lance shame on you 1 out of 10,negative +okay so it was never going to change the world and it bombed at the box office but is one of those films i fell in love with as a child the bbc showed it a few times during the 1980s and i happened to have a high quality vhs tape in the machine lucky that and watched endlessly i watched the dvd last night and sadly time has not been kind to this would be blockbuster either that or i've just grown out of this kind of broad dopey humour come on when is so desperate for laughs he gives us close ups of novelty with what can you say about the cast or screenplay br br certainly it's ambitious interesting unusual and but it's never once laugh out loud funny i'd describe it as a children's film with some overtones you can safely let your youngsters watch this despite the 15 they won't get the drug references so don't worry about it i had a pleasant surprise when i realized i'd forgotten just how catchy both the title song and the song writing truck going faster song were not to mention the town of patriotic the whole cast give commendable performances the photography is crisp and captures the mood of the various locations perfectly and there's a real time capsule feeling about the fashions the cars the especially the drum machine the interiors and the pop culture references i was more than a little surprised to hear the nutty bum in the bank telling everyone i'm simpson particularly now legal have overshadowed his sporting achievements the is there's almost no plot to speak of it's way too obvious to be witty and not funny enough to many genuine laughs i wish i'd left this one as a pleasant memory,negative +this movie was beyond disappointment well acted story that means nothing the plot is ridiculous and even what story there is goes absolutely nowhere it truly isn't worth a buffalo or otherwise pun intended,negative +first of all i think the casting and acting were excellent the problem is the story there is basically no story here worth telling and thus basically no movie here larry has done and i can't fault the original though it probably didn't need sequels he did with paul newman which is one of my favorite movies is supposed to be a country singer but the only song i hear him sing is an old buck song the movie makes a big deal out of chicken character has a good wife and it's utterly stupid of him to stray from her the incident with riding in the cage is utterly stupid maybe people do that for fun in some parts of the country but i never heard of it,negative +it is one of the best of stephen i give it a nine out of ten br br i was surprised to see that shaolin soccer was rated on top of all movies unbelievable,positive +this is a cute little french silent comedy about a man who another that he can't stay in this castle for one hour due to its being haunted and once the guy enters the house it looks much more like a crazed fun house or maybe like the after effects of while there are ghosts and there is a weird of animals odd special effects and gags as well it's awfully hard to describe but the visuals alone make the film worth seeing however understand that the self indulgent director also had many funny gags that totally fell flat and hurt the movie his camera tricks weren't so much but annoying and stupid ignore these and keep watching it does get better the film is fast paced funny and worth seeing in particular i really liked watching the acting and of max he was so and funny too bad he is virtually forgotten today for an interesting but very sad read check out the imdb biography on him,positive +buddy roy solid in a chance leading role heads a secret undercover police squad called the seven ups whose tactics don't necessarily follow the exact ways of the law they get the job done in their own way without anything being to the press and this gives them a freedom to expand their means of getting to the criminals most working detectives and policeman just can not buddy has a pal from childhood named tony lo who information with him regarding mob types and working the streets in nyc what buddy doesn't know is that is a scheme using names from check list he has this book open taking down notes provided by but doesn't know that his friend has copied those very names written within his mind to set up mob families in a series of mob cash thanks to two cop moon the always villainous richard lynch and bo bill working with him when this scheme goes awry with one of the seven ups being killed becomes because he knows how buddy can be when he's after someone especially when one of his own is murdered br br extremely underrated cop flick has thrilling car chase through new york city as buddy follows the kidnapping cop trying to get them after killing his partner the film isn't overly complex after the plot is set up and we realize who is the ring leader in the scheming of has never been given the credit he deserves as a fine lead actor he has emotional range and we see how losing his cop and friend takes it's on him the film is paced with good action sequences and sets up an interesting plot of betrayal between friends as greed comes before that childhood friendship and how what seems like a smooth crime spree against evil mob families can get cops killed,positive +i saw this as a kid before it had been from the and even then it left a bad taste in my mouth there were some competently worked out gags but making slapstick villains out of american citizens who'd been in camps strictly due to their race was amazingly tasteless br br moe himself might have wanted this one buried he was a liberal guy in his autobiography he told of visiting a town in the south where he saw a black man get off the sidewalk to avoid passing too close moe stepped into the street to show it wasn't a problem and the man then got back on the then off again finally the man told moe that if moe didn't stop trying to share the sidewalk with him he might get them both br br another thing there are exploding eggs but no in the film so the title should actually be if anyone cares the on me,negative +these critics need to find a new job this movie is based on a true story which has made history it illustrates beautifully how even in the of war and tragedy love can all the breathtaking of has captured my heart and soul as if i too were there the blue eyed cage the delightful were amazing together they perfectly portrayed how a couple can only become closer in the time of war this movie will touch your heart like it did mine you must go see it,positive +for sheer quality of performance and the theater of the absurd this one is hard to compare to anything else with the world melting down in the early '70s this film made perfect sense then and still george scott could never be,positive +the only thing of interest about this movie is its subject matter taking a look at the family from the point of view of the family members themselves is a great idea however trying to make sense of the is something that can really only be accomplished in a and this ain't it br br presumably because there was so much information to squeeze into a screenplay this film was done in a faux documentary style with thrown in trouble is the writing and directing make it impossible to establish those things that make a movie watchable like character story theme and so on br br worse there's an incredibly weak sub plot thrown in that follows a little band of latter day as they go after a reporter who's working on a story on the of the killings it's dumb and pointless and a complete waste of time br br all in all this movie is one big wasted opportunity the one ray of sunshine is the acting of marc who plays who in real life did most of the actual killing whereas the female characters come off as in the 60s flashbacks manages to convey real feeling br br in short don't bother with this movie,negative +this film essentially contains all the elements of a great 70's exploitation film except it was done in the late 80's for the direct to video market br br you have a young couple in love but the whole world around them is involved either in crack dealing or gang violence when the boyfriend goes to jail the girlfriend ends up vulnerable to all the criminals who are everyone in this movie except for the cops first she gets hooked on crack by a dealer and then because he owes drug lord jim brown money she becomes property then she's basically in a military style crack house that the movie is named for br br as if this isn't enough reason to see this movie you also have anthony playing a seemingly conservative school but he's really a major crack dealer in a sleazy yet hilarious scene he demands sexual from the heroine because she has no money for a fix in an earlier scene it was established that he is her that scene and another where jim brown forces her to take a hot shower because she stinks are hysterical lead actress kay was really good in this film tarantino bring her back br br it's not surprising to me that someone mentioned in another review that tarantino is a major fan of this it has just the right blend of comedy action sex romance and yes a central message to stay away from drugs jim villainous turn here deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as another great 80's b villain wings in vice squad sometimes i think there should be a b movie oscars where performances like this could be acknowledged in the meantime let's hope that the modern straight to dvd filmmakers learn learn to use this same type of tongue in cheek humor,positive +i really liked the first part of this film in africa for about an hour or so until the animal cruelty by humans in scotland got to me in the second half and made me so sad i couldn't watch some of it however this was done by the filmmaker to make a point that early natural scientists ruined everything alive they didn't understand by studying it literally to death without considering the rights and comfort of the animals studied which we know now shouldn't be studied anywhere but in the natural world they inhabit and as as possible i do recommend this film as it was a mostly serious and honest story of tarzan and made a point of showing the gross animal cruelty that was rampant in the 19th century scientific world as well as the pure and simple beautifully primitive life tarzan lived as a young man who was found as a baby and raised by after the violent death of his parents in the african jungle br br christopher was wonderful and very in his life of tarzan role as was ralph richardson in his last film role as ultra rich in scotland andy was pretty and pretty good as up and jane in her first movie role from his charismatic work in this film and his very haunting eyes i cannot understand why did not later become a big star but his really bad movie choices later may have done him in the terrific ian as a wounded frenchman in africa helped by tarzan and who then tarzan back to his previously unknown home in scotland was great as always br br i am so glad tarzan got sick of and didn't stay in the animal cruel world at that time and went home to africa in the end to live out his life with his gentle and loving ape relatives who raised him instead of staying in scotland and living like which would have ruined him if it didn't kill him first,positive +nobody 1999 is a fantastic piece of japanese noir it's about three who get in way over their heads when their innocent drunken p off three other guys one night in a bar when these three mysterious strangers who are up to much more no goodness than even the film allows us to know beat the living out of one of our heroes the trio decides to return the favour in kind only they accidentally kill one of the other guys the remaining two baddies then begin the destruction of everything these poor hold dear including their fast sanity dvd features a critic quote calling the film a paranoid street crime or some such and the term more than applies here brooding tense very violent and low key but still pretty slick shot largely at night with many deliberately vague moments and character motivations that keep the audience guessing right along with the protagonists who to some degree deserve everything they get i give it a 10,positive +perhaps if only to laugh at the way my favorite of jane works has been portrayed perhaps i am too severe on this adaptation but i'm afraid i am biased to the a e version i have a hard time imagining mr portrayed by anyone other than colin br br the characters seemed shallow and often dialogue forced seemed to lack the real feeling that is so evident in the book her fancy for was and then her sudden like for was not believable br br was portrayed well i will grant him he managed to maintain the that is required but i felt he did not project the feeling and inner struggle that makes his character so delightful especially in the scene br br mr and mrs were also played well but seemed lacking in many ways the mean temper of mrs was not completely captured in her performance br br mr was a good portrayal very much in line with the book br br i will from commenting on lady catherine except to say that she is possibly the worst portrayal in the entire film br br other problems i saw were the few liberties they took with the order of events such as being present at the first meeting with lady c and also that miss lucas and sir william did not join on her visit to the br br the choreography was dreadful during the dancing scenes the scene where and dance loses much of its intensity because one cannot get past the feeling that they look on the ballroom floor at least this bbc version left out the dialogue between and sir william when he the two on their dancing as they performed very ill indeed br br there were occasional moments that it kept me interested but overall i find this version to be a disappointment i would not advise this film unless you're like me and you are by such br br,negative +this is one of the worst movies i've ever seen it's supposed to be a remake or update of the one armed by chang the ham direction and crappy fight choreography mean that the fight scenes aren't even worth watching the script tries desperately hard to seem serious but is full of cliches like and i knew then that nothing would ever be the same again or if only i'd known what a heavy price i would have to pay ugh and who is that girl who plays sing someone find her and have her eliminated she's awful if you like chinese martial arts movies you'd be better off with this stinks,negative +jay craven's criminally ignored film is a sober breath of fresh air in the generally and derivative world of independent film first off the photography is pure aesthetic pleasure capturing all of the gloomy beauty of northern new england in late cinematographer paul ryan did 2nd unit on days of heaven second the performances are uniformly excellent rip is charming and is at once sensitive and to say nothing of a fine supporting cast overall though it is a tribute to the narrative strength of the film that the story maintains a strong and lively pace while still unfolding in its own time and the film comes to a conclusion natural and genuine that nevertheless does not seem expected this is one of the rare cells of dignity in the independent film world a film that explores a small piece of the between humans and history,positive +i think that pierre or his character to be precise is really outlandish but with grace i also remember the chess player and of the girl who seems to be appearing by chance in his home something really curious the woman acting as the lawyer is to me one of the most beautiful actresses ever seen on the screen but i must admit that the plot is too inconsistent to be taken seriously the character who plays as the lead theater actor is really nice especially when he's annoyed by the new actor the one in purple t shirt also the scene where the actor who belongs to another company directs the stage is really fascinating and relaxing as it often happens with this movie for example when they drink tea they just make you want to have a cup,positive +george and mildred is a truly unfunny film this attempt to translate the successful tv series to the big screen was a dismal failure as is so often the case br br the wit and clever one liners from the tv shows have gone missing the plot is a typical english farce of confused characters and mistaken identities which is neither funny enough nor weird enough to many decent laughs br br die hard george and mildred fans might want to see this final episode of the mildred died of before the film was released but others should their time more wisely,negative +laughable would be a good term to describe this movie but since this movie deserves nothing good said of it i'll use the term god awful instead br br around the adventures of a bunch of warriors investigating the of the military on a semi island the lack of a budget rapidly becomes apparent michael a real actor but only in the sense that was a real boy leads the bunch of fools through a series of monster chase and hapless victim scenes there is some vague attempt at pseudo science to explain the presence of the giant but it convinces the viewer about as well as the acting does br br as if this doesn't insult the viewer enough the movie also features what i'll call guns of never ending i never saw mickey parrot or his female side kick change clips once during the entire film yet i can positively report they cap off at least 40 rounds each in any scene where they are required to fire their weapon forty rounds may not seem like that many but we are talking standard here i figure 15 round clip tops and remember they never change clips nor even appear to carry any extra br br it's dumb like this which movies to the eternal fires of celluloid hell and rightly so the third rate cgi does little to help matters and the acting is best laughed at else you'll start crying why scifi channel repeatedly out this is anyone's guess br br my advice give this one a wide a very wide,negative +now here is a movie that does something that hasn't been done in a long time it take ten or so different elements that we're already familiar with vampires martial arts a beat top o the line special effects etc and turns it into something that feels brand new in what could have easily been merely a combination of mortal and buffy the vampire wesley snipes no favorite of mine since and mostly because of passenger gives a really good turn as the half human half he the internal conflict but doesn't on it more than necessary he makes blade as deep a character as michael keaton made batman br br i'll say that the only part of the movie that got me a little was the always present horror movie cliche of that one person that the hero happens to know who happens to know exactly how to stop the evil guy on the other hand you sort of have to have that in a movie like this so it's easily br br well snipes is good and steven hyped in the previews makes a more than bad enough bad guy to hero he's got class presence and enough control in his little to teach al pacino how to tone it down a bit who would ever think that a comic book movie would be a pad for an actor i sincerely hope this is and where the heck did kris kristofferson get acting talent don't get me wrong but the prolific actor hasn't done anything memorable since millennium and how many of us watched that just 'cause of the cool video box well here he is folks in a very turn as mentor and father figure and good job too br br the quality of the acting is matched by the quality of the choreography and special effects accompanied by a beat the fight scenes brings back and quickly memories of mortal hey it had a script too i was wondering what had happened to all the good writers out there br br the two major to me that i saw a quality flick were these i had no feeling of about paying full price to get in a la any batman the godzilla or wow how many of those came out this year ugh also i look forward to the inevitable sequel as per the film's ending let's just hope they do as good a job with it as with the first one br br,positive +this is a funny clever film and well worth your time in my opinion it is much better than american pie and other films of the same genre that seem to get knocked out all the time i hadn't heard of this film so i guess it didn't get much press which is kind of a shame it doesn't take itself too seriously but at the same time delivers a serious message to people about life and life experiences and what is important as opposed to a film about a bunch of desperate guys trying to get laid for the first time and one dude sticking his d k in a pie but in the end everyone gets laid and de do one thing that impressed me was that the soundtrack was pretty awesome and not the usual cheesy american pop punk they actually had real punk from back in the day like the ramones that in itself made the film better to be honest i wasn't expecting much from this film and i was pleasantly surprised at how good a comedy it is,positive +this one of the best and funniest comedy series i have ever seen all characters are brilliant br br mr david is a very very irritated man irritated by everything and anyone br br he wants to do things and handle situations as best as he possibly can but he never gets it right and only gets himself deeper and deeper in trouble not supported by his wife janet who only tries to get him deeper and deeper into the trouble he is getting himself into and really does not need the help at all br br all characters are played portrayed brilliantly just imagine sending your kid s to a school like this br br it is unbelievable that people do not like it maybe some don not get the many many plays on words that are featured many times per episode br br it is also unbelievable that there is still no dvd release of it there are only 2 series br br so please release it let it go so the fans can and will enjoy it br br try it you might just like it br br just some names words from the series man helmet hot bitch travis and many many more,positive +you may not believe this but when the credits to this movie rolled i looked for the director's name when i saw it i burned it into my memory and i never forgot it this movie is beyond terrible it makes ed films look like welles at least b movies are entertaining this was a soul experience the quality was so bad i began to wonder who allowed this to happen br br i hear uwe boll runs miles a day this is because wherever his movies are viewed the people must run him out of town with flame and the script was terrible the lighting was like that of a high school football game and the cinematography was just above the quality of roger bigfoot video the acting was executed by people too ashamed of the production to say their lines with any credibility in the end was a film alan wouldn't have put his name on i learned that day to avoid any movie by this man despite the circumstances from what i hear this is not a bad thing to do,negative +b b proves to be a great actor in this little seen movie really gets into his characters literally i caught this on cable one night and enjoyed it too bad it was released in theaters the same year as fear and loathing and half baked,positive +one of the funniest films i ever saw in the theater back in the early '70s and sadly it's only been on tv a few times since this movie should be released on video it's sellers at his best as a crooked hospital great cast great movie if anyone has a good vhs copy i'd love to buy it,positive +yet another cookie cutter movie about a hardened adult who meets an adorable street smart kid cop and 1 2 gloria etc and once again it is not funny or interesting for anyone to watch kids or adults i'm sure some people might find this movie amusing but i have no idea why once again i feel sorry for the poor kids who were forced to work in this movie so that everyone else and their parents could make some bucks at the price of a cheesy cheesy movie,negative +my comment is mainly a comment on the first the extra on the film and his unhappy of the film i think his perspective why an extra is an extra and a director is a director the film was sweet the acting sufficient the experience of watching it a nice from a busy work week it wasn't the hours acting or the matrix special effects or even the color purple direction most movies won't be but it also wasn't the crap fest that would lead you to believe sorry guy just my 2 cents br br as to the movie itself it was in the end very gay 1 it showed a world full of diverse and less than perfect people you know just like 2 it opened a door on one culture without other cultures 3 and i liked the music 4,positive +a blatant rip off of air bud this movie is really about parents worrying too much about all the of the characters adult who dont know the game are taken to the extreme so much so that they are totally unbelievable not funny br br there is no semblance of reality here folks and you'll not develop sympathy for any of the characters br br the best thing about the movie is the good looking uniforms of the team in the first game the dog plays perhaps chosen because the setting is supposedly near heights the home of the franchise player brian,negative +ok i'm 26 so i've been thru all the action heroes 80's hype and chuck norris along with seagal van damme and the rest of the guys were my childhood heroes fighting the bad guys shooting dozens of bullets from one round only i saw the of this movie on tv a couple of days ago chuck norris was throwing some from his fingers is a must see crappy movie ' i said and indeed it was only a lot lot worse it is very difficult to see all the movie stuffed with some religious thoughts ridiculous zombie like monsters who serve satan all the idea of a plot set in some forgotten community which represent whole mankind it is a load of christian wet dreams br br i've nothing against christianity even in the movies but this one lacks taste it lacks almost everything that with a common sense c'mon chuck norris playing an angel whose job is to look after little town where satan lives the whole plot is so damn straight and boring not mentioning its silliness yes it's not stupidity anymore we're talking silliness like like a retarded child's joke make altogether terrible movie made as far as i suppose for elder people very much devoted to catholic church because young viewers laugh at almost every scene technically it's incorrect the fx are worse than the ones you've seen in early 90's in tv series the plot seems very stupid actors could be easily to cardboard stands not mentioning the music which as far as i've heard was played on a childish toy piano i've seen a lot of movies even the worst ones the ones from the imdb bottom list like or hands of but believe me nothing to this ridiculous terrible horribly acted quasi movie which brings some prank movies to my mind rather than regular production avoid it at all cost avoid it there's even nothing to laugh at chuck norris has officially finished his movie career,negative +if you expect that this movie is full of action and grabbing you from the start then don't watch it but if you like those kind of movies which stick in your mind for a while until you get the details then you will love it now don't get me wrong there is action and there are things going on just not in the usual way br br basically the plot is in a post apocalyptic world where anyone fights in his or their way for survival in this fight they lost the ability to speak i don't want to write more to not spoil the movie for you but trust me if you like sf authors like or or even some from orson scott card you will love this movie,positive +this movie is a real low budget production yet i will not say anything more on that as it already has been covered i give this movie a low rating for the story alone but i met the director the night i saw the film and he gave me an additional reason to dislike the movie he asked me how i enjoyed it and i told him that it was not easy to like my main was the lack of foundation for the relationship between the two main characters i was never convinced that they were close i also told him that the scene where the main characters were presented as children becoming friends was too late in the film br br he told me that the flashback scenes were not in the original script that they were added because he felt like i did that the two main characters did not appear close he went on to explain that these scenes were not filmed to his satisfaction as they were out of money i agree that they did not do much for the film br br another fact about the movie that i was not aware of is the actor who had the lead wrote the script based on his own personal experience this is usually a bad move as some writers do not take into consideration the emotional reaction the viewer the story is so close to home that the writer make too many as to the audience's reaction to his own tragedy and the story is tragic however it did not work for me as i never cared for any of the characters least of all the lead what was presented were two evil people out to make a buck by any means regardless who gets hurt when ms character decides to give up he evil ways it appears that she does so because she is not because she knows she is doing wrong if the movie has a message then i suspect that only the writer is aware of it,negative +jack movie 'the d came about from the real life investigation into the deaths of several in a swamp in paris in the 50's as always being the that he is came to the defense much like all the rest of his shows i actually found this movie tame by 1957 standards i served in the army and can understand the intensity of the training at island camp death by some so this movie can never come close as does metal i think this is a good movie which is more than it is actual but again think of the time period it was made 1957 and what could be allowed and said on film at that time i have always found jack to be clean cut and very loyal i know many have criticized the film as one sided and government propaganda if you feel this way watch metal with r lee i am a fan and enjoy the movie for it's merit not accuracy as i have said believed in this country and held to high moral standards adam 12 etc just sit back and enjoy this one from a very strict moral time period in this country don't be too of mr mark texas,positive +i just saw a terrible film called the sleeping one reviewer on four word film review www com got it right right when he wrote from a to the story is about an english jerk that comes to to the so to speak and ends up falling in love with his sleeping a sleeping is a native prostitute in english that services and teaches them her native language in return for well the movie never really makes that clear but i can only assume he gives her money or something needless to say the movie focuses a lot more on the sleeping part than on the part of the job description things get complicated for our young hero when the forbidden love affair gets by her culture his soap opera domestic situation and his own stupidity in every major decision he makes throughout the film br br so yes the movie has some major flaws but on the other hand it delivered exactly the two things i rented it for in the first place a beautifully photographed exotic location and an even more beautifully photographed and exotic woman that plays the sleeping jessica alba my friend told me that this crappy movie was her at her most beautiful and damn was he right she's not a great actress and doesn't quite pass for and its pretty obvious that they use a body double for the nudity but who cares jessica alba has that rare face and figure that's more than just sexy but also beautiful in the way that a or a painting is br br p s sorry to all you out there who women the male etc etc but i hope you can understand that i mean no,negative +this is 1 hour and 24 minutes of pure boredom br br in this movie even the gun baldwin uses hk sucks it was sent to by armed forces worldwide in the mid eighties and is now only used by terrorists bank robbers and military br br if i had known this movie was this bad i would rather watch 10 episodes of saving the planet br br no groove no drive and no feel watch the channel – it's more than this sorry excuse for a movie this movie doesn't deserve a on the scale better luck next time baldwin until then i'll sit here watch my grow – that is far more than,negative +what's his name what clear br br that gag still gets me twenty one years after the film was released br br i loved the film back then and i love it today i must have watched this a hundred times back in the day and when i bought the dvd recently i could still remember some of the dialogue br br madonna plays a young woman for a crime she didn't commit when she gets out she decides to seek revenge br br dunne whatever happened to him plays an attorney for his father john the future father in law asks to take from prison to the bus station and to make sure she gets on the bus as part of a supposed new public relations programme a seemingly easy task but there are complications some funny dialogue and some admittedly stupid but funny scenes along the way br br madonna has a stupid voice in this film which until i was able to watch with subtitles made one or two lines of dialogue incomprehensible for me hence only 8 10 but on the other hand i can't imagine her doing it in her normal voice br br this film shows comic side too lacking these days perhaps and she genuinely is funny in the role dunne makes a great foil while morris is perfect as the fiancée br br yes it's predictable yes the jokes could be better but i think this is a great film and will happily sit down and watch it 100 times more,positive +i really liked this movie but the ads i saw implied and one published review actually said that this movie benefits from a light touch that to me is very misleading br br there is indeed plenty of humor eccentric un subtle sometimes somewhat twisted humor the kind of humor i generally find very appealing indeed but most of the humor is the kind that appears conscious at all times of things deeply serious deeply sensitive even deeply painful the movie weaves together themes of past and present perception and truth memory and activity life and death the entire movie is by the history of european anti in general and of the holocaust in particular br br how can humor and horror be combined in the same movie the review i saw suggested that the humor is i don't think this is the case at all at least not in the common sense instead i think this movie stands in the tradition of much jewish literature and theatre i don't claim to be any kind of expert in this area but from what i've seen humor is used in this cultural context both as a tool for the horribly tragic experiences of this people and also humor is used as a means of recovering the divine for men and women who choose a path of faith rather than a path of either despair or see on the roof for humor used in both ways in this rich tradition br br wood wood wears horn glasses that really make him look well strange compare sin city when he wore the same kinds of glasses with chilling effect in this movie it's easy to see how the glasses become a metaphor for both his search and for his struggle between perception and truth eugene young alex and boris old alex are both really just wonderful and young alex are from the same generation yet seem so very very different and then find that they are not so different after all and the way in which the apparent narrative voice changes gradually from that of to that of young alex as a journey of intended discovery for becomes one of discovery for both young alex and old alex is to me so very moving br br there are some wonderful scenes and from i'm told and standing in for the of the story line all feels very authentic and seems to give a wonderful sense of place although i've never been myself to the and can hardly to this from first hand experience br br all in all if you're looking for light comedy i would not recommend this movie at all on the other hand if you are interested in a wonderful delightful and deeply moving film please check out this wonderful movie,positive +i am amazed anyone likes this film i never walk out of movies but my friend had to physically stop me from leaving the theater during this insulting disaster the white characters are saints and the asian characters are practically nonexistent and worthless to the story they exist only as objects surprise characters of other races fare much better the twists and turns were laughable and predictable but if you're reading this you know that already paul is a hack hollywood can't even do movies right do yourself a favor and watch a much more honest take on race relations harold and kumar go to white castle,negative +first off to rent or watch this film you are expecting something in the b horror range what this film delivers for the fan of this genre is quite a hilarious romp via flavor at times reminding me of the humor of jackson's dead alive and others of a stuart gordon flick this little find should have most throughout br br the f x reach a few of truly spooky the first time ed meets his nemesis but generally have the feel that this film was put together by a f x team that decided to use any and all props at their from other films slasher films etc to pretty good effect and worked in thru the use of hallucinations br br the gem of the film is the humor the gore works most of the time but more for laughs at its heart its a parody and a fun one at that,positive +symbolism great tunes this film crushed their soon to be no more target audience's expectations these and the naturally selected members of the group were witnessing a subtle yet in your face kiss goodbye to each other the message rings true today the cage you escape from and the bridge you want to jump off of are the next generations own there will always be new kids on the block replacing those who break free from the chains the film can be frustrating at times because the themes the film attacks are so blatantly apart of the american way of life a thinking and reasoning person cannot help but stare at their own reflection in the scenes of head and question not only their personal motives for continuing the madness of everyday american life but the motives of those who want it to continue for the sake of madness the final scene similar to don daring of the tiger to exit for battle represents just how and impossible most dreams are,positive +this film was made thirteen years before i was born but i still think it is the most harmless piece of fun ever made it simply could not go wrong with the cast of superb british character actors it boasts br br where to start margaret the wonderfully innocent played to perfection by the the victor hyde brown a guy special and the rest of the staff sum up post war middle class england to a br br the humour is sometimes obvious but it is of that special ealing variety and is never offensive br br i have watched this film more times than i care to remember and still laugh like a drain at the antics every time the of the occupied by the girls school the planned but ultimately doomed twin of the school and the chaotic ending involving the arrival of a third school to add to the are priceless br br it's an old cliché i know but they really do not make them like that anymore how i wish they did if you haven't seen it please do you won't be disappointed,positive +i with the plight of the first man we see killed in this episode he reminded me of the associated with being a lone security guard at night somewhere the type of work i did briefly about 20 years ago of course i was never in danger of being burned to a crisp as the colony chief lynch is fond of describing the monster in the dark here murdering members of a deep mining colony creates a scary impression in the first act we don't really see it in the early scenes and as many of us realize the best monsters are sometimes left to the imagination and is one voiced description but it actually turns out to resemble a big pizza along the ground like a a of the show's budget unfortunately this also shows in the latest painting famous to trek fans the only way to convey a long shot of the mining br br but the whole theme of this episode is about what's on the inside rather than appearances anyway sure this a newly discovered based life form looks like a mindless monster at first glance thanks to ability probably the best use of a mind for plot purposes we learn it's a highly intelligent even sophisticated creature besides use of his talent mccoy gets to his usual medical routine healing a creature resembling rocks or he also gets to utter one of his most famous lines i'm a doctor not a i found it very true to life in his scene where he in his success though he's unable to get kirk to share in his enthusiasm too busy results the episode throws unexpected turns in character motivation at the audience as the story progresses spock the need to possibly this discovered life as kirk takes his usual stand on the deaths of any red shirts no half as in the man trap but later it's kirk who for some reason holds back on firing a killing blast as if the heat of the hunt had worn off and he'd had time to reflect on point i believe it was during this filming that shatner learned his father had died for most of the first season this has a happy ending the conflict from the needs of basic capitalism such as meeting standard versus protecting the natural environment and its inhabitants a space age version of protecting from the of modern somehow despite many killings and a sense that everything could go to hell at any moment with one raised kirk and spock manage to an which everyone i guess people and are more reasonable in the century,positive +this movie is about a group of four friends who wreck a car while driving they build a to get though the night and wait for help to pass the time they tell each other scary stories to tell about it would ruin the movie so rent and enjoy it br br i will say it starts out a little slow but each tale get better and better this movie stars some of today's actors christine taylor the brady bunch movies james disturbing behavior and ron office space so you can see there are big name stars just not the really big ones go rent or buy it this movie is awesome,positive +i first saw the movie a couple of years ago and was totally and utterly impressed but its it is one of the most touching films i have ever seen though it might appear a little bit pretentious and artificial too much beautiful if you will anyway one thing is for sure the camera man has done a great job each picture deserves to be cut off the film and displayed as a separate peace of art comparable to the or bernard paintings br br the music forms a perfect background for the story especially one played between the first and the second novels at the beach scene as for the casting i cannot be objective since i like sophie and jean very much and cannot add more to the comments of others br br however the very fact that many people critics and those sophisticated in cinema criticized the movie made me watch it with a more critical eye for the second time no doubt the setting is splendid and the casting is gorgeous but this is somehow not enough to make a and cohesive film the second novel when sophie tells her story to is somehow superficial and does not tell much about the motivations of the people involved was it only about shooting a beautiful and sensual love scene with the naked or what apparently it does not add anything to the idea of the movie and even the voice of is being unable to link it to the main plot br br other stories are more justified and are really beautifully shot which many of the logic within them the scene when jean is the city through the huge window of his apartment on the top of the high building is absolutely incredible the feeling of air and fine which is being spread by the first scene can literally be through the screen no doubt antonioni is a great master of shades and semi shades my favorite novel is the last one the most romantic deep and meaningful i guess that it the most antonioni like one in the whole movie almost a probably the overall positive impression from the movie is mainly due to the last one shot somewhere in a small italian town with its narrow streets and crooked with the and monumental it was but really touching br br i hope that my impressions and comments on the movie however chaotic they are would somebody to spend an evening watching it it works better with the home theater having somebody caring by your side than in the movie theater enjoy br br i beg your for the english and any possible,positive +i absolutely loved this film so much emotion in such a small amount of time i loved the beginning and how it completely throws you off guard i love the story and the deer being brought in i know that when i think of deer i think of innocence and also in 2 in the bible it says as the deer pants for the water brooks so pants my soul for you o god which could even connect the last moment when the woman says it will be okay as if she knows she's going with god perhaps i am thinking way to much into it but sometimes it is interesting to see what goes on through minds thank you for sharing this masterpiece with viewers everywhere i live in texas and i had it playing on cable i immediately got onto the computer to find out more about this film and this amazing director i really liked the music that was used in the background music can sometimes make or break a film it definitely set the mood perfectly very nice choice br br thanks again br br,positive +i happened to catch about the last 45 minutes of the movie late night about 8 years ago what a wild and funny 45 minutes i was absolutely knocked out by chase shoot out at the end that takes place at night inside an old hotel that's being torn down with a ball incredible i vaguely remember stealing a cop car being a cop and strong some to hey why ya us it's my job you're correct they don't make them like that anymore great movie the hopefully it will see the light of day as a dvd along with other lost and being one such,positive +after watching i had many feelings but most notably i felt i have heard so much hype about this movie but i came to find it lacking don't get me wrong i can fully appreciate the artistic value of such a film but as far as depth and emotion i was not so impressed i found the characters to be and unrealistic which from the dramatic effect in addition the fact that the war was fake led me to feel that the emotion was not real dramatic war movies in my opinion are much more effective if the events not necessarily the story itself really happened i find that of all the movies that try to show the brutality this one falls in the middle as far as,positive +the marriage of an new york city couple with child falls apart when the wife wants out it took a lot of courage for her to walk out that door a neighbor tells us the busy distracted husband takes on the and grows closer to his son but soon the wife returns highly manipulative picture doesn't give us a very realistic unit with young justin henry certainly not resembling the product of a marriage between dustin hoffman and meryl streep but the dynamics are intriguing and involving and director robert keeps the pace popping with lots of marvelous classical music editing and bits of humor character is designed to be a cold self centered witch but i was ready to feel a lot more for her than probably wanted it all has to be painted in terms of black and white good and bad with hoffman learning how hard his wife had it and getting a second chance at being a good parent the film never from its path and very fine acting nearly saves it but i'm not sure where was the film in the final act and the closing scene is awfully abrupt from,positive +man this movie is awful br br this kind of tripe is what gives canadian cinema a bad name or no name well to be fair i guess most canadian movies give canadian cinema a bad name br br next to the characters there's a couple that are the most grating in movie history the most annoying thing is the editing and pace of the movie it's like a drunken making its way to die br br thank goodness is nice to look at she's the only thing that kept me watching unfortunately the rest of the movie kept br br good for a laugh though if you're having a bad canadian movie night though br br did i mention the only good point too bad they didn't have the sense to keep the camera on her for more than a blink at a time br br another addition in the canadian hall of movies,negative +as one other imdb reviewer puts it imagine 2001 a space odyssey in the desert and you wouldn't be far off from a brief of what to expect from this piece of cinema i deeply hesitate to use the word film a lecture on philosophical views on the surrounding existence the before and after that was has been the what is and the what will be this for some maybe a 2001 on sand but they tackle different philosophical one about evolution and the future the hope and potential for mankind while morgana itself is a somewhat more trek i only hope i can convey it effectively enough br br style will not to be liking and those who are not of a perceived hardcore branch of cinematic viewing may and most likely will find this extremely hard going and may not even see it through to its finale after minutes together a montage of footage from the including villagers and various other places for a somewhat ending music of various genres and an almost mythical narration morgana is severely slow paced but ultimately hugely rewarding br br opening with a montage of various filmed shots of planes landing for on five minutes you already arrival at the introduction of the film immensely confused and the sense that this will not be like anything you have seen before echoes clear in your mind divided into three sections creation paradise and the golden age morgana attempts and succeeds in being able to images of the natural beauty of the desert with the man made that it its three segments are narrated by different persons each specifically to the particular section they are and provide extra emphasis on the long and desert montages br br morgana is a film dealing with the existence of man on our earth it looks at the natural beauty the earth was designed for and looking at the potential beauty we have within us more notably shows us our negative to the world in which we live each shot has been constructed using what can only be described within the context of this film as 'the holy of in pictures words and music each part of these three pieces provides something notably to each shot but when brought together they create something greater than the whole of their parts they create beauty and deep thought within our minds i will not be able to do this film the justice it deserves with mere words alone perhaps if i had pictures and a score and i do know this will not be appreciated by the masses but this a profound and i will not use the term art film because this is simply just art this is moving art which moves the mind and the soul whether or not is your want is irrelevant because this film is about intelligent design,positive +a great gangster flick with brilliant performances by well known actors with great action scenes well not this one br br it's rather amazing to see such a wide cast of well known actors that have many good movies in their in such a movie without doubt this may be one of the worst they could possibly appear in br br first of all the plot is as you'd expect it from your average gangster biography nothing new nothing fancy in it the way it is told makes the movie look a lot longer than it is when i thought the two hours should be almost over i was quite surprised that only 45 minutes had passed br br the action scenes look a lot like those from tv series the a team for example it's just that in the with the a team those scenes were far more sophisticated than those in el it's especially fun to see the guys point their guns in the air and still hit something not to talk about people that take cover behind car doors which later look like they've been shot through br br the acting fits quite nicely to the action either you get the same reaction to everything that happens dolph lundgren style or it's so that you may think it's a parody but unfortunately it's not br br my advise is to stay away from this movie any other gangster movie is better than this one,negative +me being from australia and loving the series i wasn't expecting much from the american version of and kim but i thought i'd watch the first episode to see if it was really that bad br br well whats there to say its nothing special blair is ok as kim and actually had a few good lines molly shannon is not a good though the good thing about jane is that when she speaks with all her funny accents such as when she says or it sounds like its just the natural way that she speaks but when shannon has a go at the accent its clear that she is acting and trying to be the same as turner and the show really misses sharon or some one else to give us something to laugh about because the and craig characters in this version are really not funny br br so far only the first episode has aired and it is clearly not up to the standards of the aussie version although if it was a stand alone television show with a different name not being compared to the aussie version it would perhaps be viewed as being a little bit better but if there is nothing else to do on a sunday night or night in america then you cant do much harm in watching it or better put on some of the aussie version if you've got it,negative +i first heard about the melancholy of from a reviewer on youtube he literally slapped the show with a big bad rant it rubbish and confusing curious i decided to watch the show once i got the order of the episodes right thanks to those who made the lists and i found it absolutely brilliant and enjoyable to watch great memorable characters who are full of life and are absolutely lovable and hilarious a unique and not over blowing plot that makes sense now that i've watched the show and two of the best anime moments in history in my opinion plus the opening and ending themes are great br br the anime based on a collection of successful manga novels follows a simple plot once you understand it while the show's focus is on the main character the point of view is from her friend is a regular high school student who doesn't really believe in supernatural stuff e g santa aliens time ghosts but he soon ends up talking to who is the most girl in the school and would prefer to date an alien considering all men worthless she even joined every club in the school to find something interesting but quit as quickly as she joined upon advice from decides to form her own club with club setting up in the literary club room forms the its mission to investigate supernatural cases think scooby doo minus the dog the masked man and the mystery machine br br three extra members the first is a of sorts who speaks very little and spends most of her time reading and sitting the second is a shy girl who is forced into the club by who thinks they need a cute to get some things done she is often forced into costumes by to further her the third is a friendly and transfer student who is always smiling while thinks her group is filled with normal people she couldn't be more wrong while is as normal as you can get the other three on the other hand are rather unique is an alien is a time from the future and is an a person who has all three have come to watch over who may just have the powers of a god and if she becomes bored she may be able to discover her powers and create a whole new world and is involved somehow br br the show is worth watching with great characters music and some hilarious and wonderful moments however for parents there is some sexual references including being exposed or touched several times and several swear words used as well apart from that the show is one of the,positive +for the 1980s this is a very dark movie at this point filmmakers were beginning to operate under the that all films require smarmy comic relief which of course is taken to the extreme today flashy action scenes even more overdone today or steamy sex scenes br br and penn are in their roles as childhood friends turned soviet spies penn in particular is brilliant as hapless drug dealer lee br br what you have here is a true thriller drama there is no eye candy to speak of but the story is so compelling and the acting so superb that hopefully most people wouldn't miss it there are a couple amusing scenes in particular the one where penn tries to get his soviet involved in a major deal br br well worth watching,positive +trying to catch a serial killer did they ever think of tracking the license plate number of the black van or the video tapes he sent oh brother the plot of this movie was so full of holes it was pathetic now i know why there are bad movies in the world this one however was one of the worst,negative +after watching the series premiere of talk show with spike i took a moment to really think wow there are actually good shows on after 12 besides snl and i was also sad to see that it was only 30 minutes long his great writing skills helped this show overcome a series lack of money and helping hands electronic lincoln was hilarious and i really think this will be a good dark horse talk show br br i was very happy with the way he handled it and gave andy some good lines to work with as you would have suspected it was a little shaky but for that kind of time it was very good br br overall if you are not someone on or even if you are and you don't have something more important to do than watch this great piece and have a fun time doing it,positive +this movie is directed by clive barker he really knows how to establish a between the audience and the characters i think there is a sequel missing for this one barker should have dedicated to the sequel for this movie instead of doing the boring lord of that is one i think was a real garbage but i also think that because of this and because of the lack of the sequel has become a dark cult classic of horror films,positive +if you are a shore fan you will laugh your butt off if not this is a silly mess wasting some very good talent a cute carla from south invites her california college shore home to share notable cast members lane smith cindy mason adams and the drop dead gorgeous watch where you step,negative +i think downey was perhaps inspired by french new wave br br who wasn't br br unfortunately what he ended up creating here was more along the lines of new wave br br a is obviously a terrible thing to lose and downey appears to have lost plenty br br just say no indeed in more ways than one including to watching this film br br i couldn't bear it after a while and began fast through it it would have been to have just it altogether,negative +is simply a wonderful film writer director has created a story unlike any other and cast it with such consistently fine actors that it remains a puzzle to me that this film has not become an audience favorite throughout the world it is intelligent emotional and warm entertaining and in all categories it is a winner cohen in a brilliantly understated performance is a 16 year old who takes care of his highly dysfunctional family his mother is about as a as ever and in a constant state of ill temper because of her husband cheated on her and because she is stuck working double shifts to support her father in law who as grandfather is a bright funny wise loving old man who deeply cares for a married sister who moves back in to the house because of constant with her husband who doesn't help her care for their twin sons his brother cohen whose life is loud electric about female and the favorite son of his mother stir this mixture and the result is the dysfunctional family unit for them house runs and cares for this grandfather and in general leads a life of to a family that views him as a for a girlfriend and practically fails his school because of his lack of time devoted to caring for his family and a lack of concentration his teacher begin notes his natural genius on a test and with the aid of the the two encourage him to be tested and discover that he is a genius with and for him to try for a special school in mother will hear none of it but between fights with father albert and with the teacher and they finally to his testing for the school meanwhile discovers a girl his age who has moved in next door and gradually the two become in a physical and intellectual relationship always in the background is the support of grandfather and when the grandfather dies sets off on the journey to live his life for himself to realize his gifts to find his happiness the manner in which the family comes to grips with this is the peak of the movie and need not be revealed for the sake of the power of the message the film is beautifully photographed the musical score is lovely and the final result is one of of the human spirit highly recommended on every level in with english subtitles,positive +the directing is brilliant the casting is remarkable though i would've loved to have seen a little more of aaron from y r fame who played paul i only have two minor about the film as subtle as they are one leno is excellent but his stage presence i e during what appears the of one of his late show episodes is a tad two the distribution of the foul language i am willing to tolerate foul language so long as it is not used and to a degree the film was gratuitous the language seemed to be used as a tool to the pathos of otherwise well portrayed by her frequent use of it and served to make leno a by his lack of use of it of course if the characters really did behave this way kudos to everybody nonetheless the piece is an excellent one as far as television and video are concerned the film i feel had potential for the big screen but would've required re casting for the bit parts and probably a different director as well the aesthetic feel is that of the larry sanders show good for hbo mediocre for cinematic purposes,positive +throughout this movie i kept thinking why on earth did they make this as a documentary yet not include real footage of the people who were interviewed sure it would have been just like any other documentary but then it would have been up to the film makers to find the meaning for the movie to deliver br br using a host of well known movie stars many of whom apparently asked to be in it to portray real people gave me the feeling that there was a pre determined message to be delivered and the director was so intent on it that real people couldn't be trusted so actors and scenes were used yes i know this was also a play but a documentary should be a documentary i really found myself getting put off by the various stars and kept expecting one of them to drop character for a moment and say i'm a good person because i'm in this br br this movie could have had a much more powerful social commentary had it been more objective or let us see matthew shepard and his murderers as people rather than symbols the much superior boys don't cry had an view of those involved good and bad instead the project gives an almost relentless lecture that someone's sexuality should be accepted regardless and little else,negative +well this movie certainly was in keeping with the current times no happy endings super heroes or here just down to earth fiction to our minds along the lines of terrorism and what kudos to and for an excellent screenplay and superb direction by films like this are needed to keep us aware of what is out there if every peace loving man and woman on earth reported obviously suspicious activities i believe terrorism could not this movie showed just how hard it really is to these terrorists even with good intelligence even though the film is a bit against islam the use of a muslim police officer as a main character i believe it was entirely realistic there was meant to be shock value in the bombing incident as a very clever tool to the and of people caught up in an attack such as this they showed full nudity of women being post attack it didn't take me long to realize that this was meant to even further into the viewer that thought i e we are not in control of everything in a situation like this although this took place in london with the usual high level british acting it makes a statement for any part of the world great movies don't have to be blockbuster epic productions and this movie is very very worthy of viewing,positive +i think this film version of is actually quite good it certainly is amusing well it's not a masterpiece as pride and prejudice but there's very good stuff in it especially the city of bath setting the royal the roman the fascinating atmosphere that is excellent if you are a bath fan like myself you'll love watching this film the performances may sound a bit too melodramatic but i've got the impression that this film like the novel itself is deliberately making fun of the popular tales of romance and terror and of the society of the period the only is probably the female lead as i personally have another idea of catherine physical appearance the music is also a bit unusual but i strangely find it acceptable despite it's got nothing to do with the historical period portrayed i'm wondering what would dear old jane think,positive +i started to take a critical view on this adaptation within the first few minutes but as a dedicated jane austen fan i through to the end however this is not a programme i would recommend to someone unfamiliar with her work as i don't think it does the book justice nor makes particularly entertaining television in its own right there was something about this adaptation that lacked believability many of the costumes and even the actors did not have an authentic look and i found the acting to be at times poor there is no doubt that the actors were all very good looking but this didn't provide enough variety to create really diverse memorable characters it was far too static being set entirely in the same location and missing out return home which is one of the most interesting parts of the story the best actor was blake who captured the of edmund very well and the were effectively cast too i do like as an actress but this role did not suit her and was much better played by frances in the 1999 version who gave overall a far more subtle and convincing performance jane austen adaptations will always provide a love story to leave you feeling good but unfortunately this is one of the worst i have seen,negative +spoilers warning i cannot say enough good things about this movie it is a great horror comedy spoof that does everything right for a change the humor is great and from funny to so funny you'll cry funny in one scene ed goes edit crazy and a big scene when his boss is looking at edit he yells out where in the fu is my rape scene hysterical there are also many other great humorous memorable quotes and moments throughout ed yells out don't you fu ing look at me while some poor repeatedly in the face very funny stuff the plot of the movie itself is so ridiculous that it's priceless ed is a mild mannered everyday guy that gets moved over to the horror film editing department and after a while goes nuts sees monsters and attacks people while the horror movies that he has edited this movie has it all and is simply hilarious the dvd only costs about 7 and is a great bargain as it is the widescreen cut i own a lot of dvd's most of which cost a lot more money than this one but not many are as great as this movie my evil ed dvd is one of the highlights of my collection and i would beat someone with a if they tried to steal it evil ed style and quality something that hollywood filmmakers need to learn evil ed is a rare gem and i would like to thank everyone involved in making this wonderful movie you did everything right and i love evil ed 10 out of 10,positive +very memorable comedy it's fun to watch the many situations develop and finally after a long journey on that greatest collection of humanity and the world's largest the great american like mad mad world it's got loads of contemporary talent old boy politics good comedic action and dialog unlike that one it is the target that seeks not the they have no idea what they really want as they drift along america's great road nor does it carry the weight of having a great fall guy who is saved only in the end by a great belly laugh but the ending stunt sequence is nothing short of spectacular with excellent film editing humor and timing and the big city bank scene is hilarious with very original acting by one very talented character in particular the total of the city in the face of chaos leaves one feeling like the proverbial fly on the ceiling the slapstick is funny but deserves to be heard and seen closely because it is surprisingly loaded with nuance and character reactions that are easily missed all in all a very funny reflection of who we were and are good or bad and the goofy situations we find ourselves in it was just meant to be funny and it is,positive +how often do you see a film of any kind that has a talent show with last stand is a here is selling but isn't making any money mickey and come to visit him which is ironic because in both 3 men in a and came the where there was competition between and for affection back to the story the gang taste the to see if made it right one funny moment is when gets a glass cup for and fills is and gives it to and has an angry expression on his face a floor show to go with the and even mickey agrees ever so cute when the floor show begins there is no one at the but then a comes in asks him if he wants but all he does is nod no asks him numbers of time in the short and every time no displays many expressions on his face which is funny tries many ways to make him one way is when after mickey said ever so those are and they made me there is also many entertain musical bit is this short the opening number is by which she tap dances and sings the second includes singing off key as usually with mickey leonard and about how dry i am i believe they sing that to make it also made me laugh the closing number includes boys and girls all dressed up in an old fashion way this was last our gang short a grand musical short that is a pure 10 out of 10,positive +i really don't think it's necessary that i write a review on a movie with a title as as snake island but even in the abstract confines of its own genre this hit a new low so my anger must be known the only reason why i even bothered to watch this unbelievably bad movie is because i knew it was going to be bad it was really late at night i could not sleep and in the past really bad movies would drain the energy out of me and make me long for it became very quickly very early on that this movie was going to be awful but it below even those expectations br br the movie was directed and written by wayne crawford who also stars in the movie as a tourist guide on the african river who ends up having to his team on a remote island called snake island until another boat comes down to pick them up they hang out get drunk and then become subject to the of snakes who are on a mission to their island of human beings br br if your jaw dropped at the last sentence of my second paragraph don't bother to it you got it right the first time frankly i prefer my creature features when the creature s just attack the dumb humans out of not because they have some kind of a mission these aren't mutant snakes they're not giants like what you see in they're just ordinary everyday african snakes like and they have the brains to form take up causes work together to trap people understand our language and even dance did your draw drop again well it's going to drop further amount through this awful b movie about the part where i'd already given up the human characters start drinking around a and then all of a sudden they break down into some kind of an orgy and while they dance nude and such the snakes hunting them all of a sudden stop and start along to it the combination of this scene and the scene where we discover that snakes some the most creatures on the planet have formed an alliance against human beings for some oddball reason proved just too much for my poor brain and just when i though the filmmakers couldn't take it to an even lower level the snakes started to sing br br the people in the movie well let's just say that never before have i for the creatures to kill everybody off so quickly i just could not stand it any longer br br i really don't think i need to keep going on you get the picture if there is anything that makes snake island any different from its other rivals it's that it does dare to try to be even dumber and that's not a achievement continue to subject myself to these really bad movies i guess i'll never really know but snake island hits a brand new low it's a cheap trashy excuse for a motion picture that makes a brainless snake movie look as brilliant and sophisticated and thrilling as steven spielberg's jaws you have been warned,negative +haha what a great little movie wayne crawford strikes again or rather this was his first big strike a entertaining little ball of manic energy as a psycho killer movie it's actually a brilliant satire on post hippie american culture in country though the movie was actually filmed in miami it defies any kind of studio oriented convention or plot device that i can think of sometimes aunt martha does dreadful things may not be a very technically movie but it is a wonderful little slice of made on the cheap by people who were honest ambitious imaginative and had balls made out of steel it took guts nerve and to make this movie which amazingly appears to have stood the test of time this movie is fresh vital alive unforgettable and weird enough to recommend to just about anyone with a sense of humor br br i up last year during a period of time when i was fascinated by star wayne crawford here billed under his scott lawrence a of what can only be called film making usually of the b grade variety he's a writer producer director and actor all in one probably best known for the 80s teen apocalyptic favorite night of the here he plays stanley the pants wearing half of a couple of truly marvelous characters apparently homosexual spree killers on the after knocking off some old lady in for her jewelry screen legend is completely convincing as paul who poses as aunt martha the cross dressing brains of the outfit who has stanley into thinking he's committed murder to ensure his loyalty martha looks about as feminine as the sailors from south supporting choir in their bikini tops yet somehow nobody seems to notice or care that she is a he has no visible means of seems to spend all day about where stanley is and around the neighborhood in her carrying a knife only in america br br as the film opens the two of them have just arrived in florida and set up in what looks like ward old house a lit designed television home that is so cliché as to be surreal during one memorable scene martha and an house guest sit on the couch talk problems and drink of in what is one of the most mesmerizing ordinary sequences i've ever seen outside of a john waters movie then there's stanley always getting into trouble as he is a topped hippie with an on his who drives a psychedelic painted van that's about as subtle as the drinks his milk straight from the drugs with blond and in an old box for a quick attract i guess br br but stanley also has a thing about not liking it when the young ladies he gets stoned with try to remove his pants and it always seems to be up to aunt martha to get him out of the trouble that inevitably results the bodies pile up a them into using their house as a flop birthday cake gets and everybody meets down at the local pizza shop before heading to the wood shed on the back property for a party where the girls dance in their underwear things get out of hand when one of the neighbors tries to get a bit too with martha who naturally prefers to keep people at an length when they invite themselves over for a nice chat and this is a woman who carries not just a butcher knife but a loaded in her slip eventually the strange duo find themselves stuck with a body a baby and no place to go and end up taking at an abandoned movie studio where no doubt the technical crew borrowed the equipment used to make the film i just hope they asked for first and up after themselves br br a word of course must be said about stanley and martha paul's relationship since to dance around the fact that the two are at least suggested to be a homosexual couple would be to miss the primary of the plot we never see the two of them get intimate and indeed even though stanley refers to being in one scene their relationship is more than sexual it certainly isn't a gay movie with female nudity and an air of 70s that cannot be denied either stanley paul never their implied sexuality on screen even though the movie certainly would have had the guts to do so if it were important it isn't the story isn't about their sex it's about the bond they share and how weird it is not their being gay but their being the distinct individuals they are who are two of the strangest movie creations ever to inhabit my tv set br br the film is unique it was made for only a few thousand dollars on what look like borrowed studio sets the occasional location work and an couple of public locations they managed to sneak a camera crew into when nobody was looking the dialog is completely bizarre mundane and delightfully it's a movie that will take you by surprise not everyone will like it but for those with a taste for low budget american horror thrillers like the night god screamed help me i'm possessed blood and children shouldn't play with dead things you've got yourself a winner here br br 8 10 usually i'd say something like deserves a dvd but somehow i think doing so would ruin the movie's tacky ambiance and wayne crawford you sir rule,positive +this movie clearly has an agenda which could be summed up like this never never cross the border either physical or let's everything that's on the other side with a wall or a fence or something else let's pretend all are evil satanic or drug dealers all that is outside one's country's border and specially us borders is dangerous and people there will hate you or envy you or try to steal you or something else the based on true events is only a perverse tag that can be on anything to give it some aura of credibility or in this case just to help pushing the film's ideology down some throats out there the of the film lies in the fact that it countries people and all else into very black and white stereotyped categories into disgusting people mexican police into a bunch of corrupt cops into the right wing morons into almost hippie and so forth is there anything good about the film i hardly think so but may be you think differently,negative +talk about false advertising what was this doing in the comedy section of my video rental place i think there was maybe one laughable part in the movie i can appreciate black comedy but this had only the without any comedy the movie was generally disturbing and un funny yes kevin spacey was good as buddy and the rest of the cast was also good but generally the movie falls apart because we don't really see a good enough reason for guy to lose his mind so badly the ending was disappointing as well what would motivation be for letting guy get away with what he did this isn't really explained at all why would buddy go for such a plan wouldn't it be more like buddy to screw guy completely by turning him over to the police the ending didn't seem to make a whole lot of sense to me no matter how i looked at it br br generally i disliked the film despite the good acting spacey essentially scenery for most of the film but towards the end he gives buddy a bit of needed humanity the story just wasn't as good as the cast,negative +in the realm of the senses is a beautifully filmed well written and acted film it tells the haunting story of a woman who kills her husband after falling in love with another man the ghost of her husband continues to haunt her after his murder this film is really good anyone interested should definitely check it out,positive +fatal contact bird in america 3 out of 10 this movie is both funny and sad the funny part is fairly obvious as this certainly isn't a sober look at a possible impending crisis this is a modern version of the and much like those killer and the so called killer crisis that them bird has joined a of media inspired end of the world scenarios global warming that simply refuse to actually come about br br the sad part is the blatant attempt of the filmmakers to inspire panic disease historically were fairly common after all people didn't all die in their forties from heart disease even recent such as aids mirrors the old fashioned crisis think that used to kill more soldiers than bullets br br the of the early was a nasty business killing millions but honestly life went on i wonder if our over dramatic media and their power hungry government allies would allow life as normal today br br the movie itself wildly from fairly competent scenes in grand central station to the ridiculous try to national in manhattan br br the scenarios themselves are fairly useless as the filmmakers can't seem to decide exactly how the bird is or for that matter whether the are an style crash or simply a long illness indeed one scene will show everyone in bio suits and the next will have nobody even wearing a mask br br the film also refuses to actually give any practical advice regarding what to do in a bird crisis outside of wash your hands what no tape the acting and directing are competent for a tv movie but the script is all over the map last the movie has a strangely non death total running on the bottom of the screen just like the did,negative +so you've seen the romero movies yes and you've seen ladder right and the later movies okay now let's make a movie out of all three only let's just jam everything together and make a whole big mess of it sounds like a good idea br br this movie is terrible absolutely god awful yeah it's an indie flick who gives a crap is that a pass to make the film attempts to establish credibility by focusing on character interaction that much is evident unfortunately for the writers they're not good at character interaction this isn't night of the living dead the characters are shouting their inane lines at each other in a vain attempt to be caught by the on set the dialogue is never interesting for a movie that focuses so much on character interaction you'd think the characters would have something more to say than what are we going to do i don't know well we've got to do something well what are we going to do i don't know we should leave let's just accept our fate no we've got to leave well let's leave then no maybe we should stay br br this isn't exaggeration there are in this film that reach that level of and br br the worst thing about this movie half of it is a dream and it really has zero purpose nothing in the dream has any relevance to anything in the rest of the movie the writers couldn't decide whether to make a zombie movie or a monster movie and so they just made both it's ridiculous the trick in the book and it's insulting especially since i'm pretty sure they ripped off the idea from ladder which handled the concept a hell of a lot more competently than these could ever hope to do br br and then there's the editing years of watching mtv and playing horror themed video games must have inspired the filmmakers but it's surely a sad thing they didn't realize what made the choppy editing and in those pieces of media effective in the first place in this film you will be confused often and not in the good david lynch way but in the bad wait i thought she just got killed no then who the hell was that wait who is that guy where did he come from how did they get here kind of way it's constant and consistently bad br br this movie is a laughable piece of trash and should only be sought out if you want to get with a few friends and laugh at it br br and as a final note as for the comedy people in other reviews are talking about it's all unintentional there isn't a single intentional piece of comedy in this film it's all supposed to be a big serious character study because the filmmakers want to have credibility in their horror concept sadly their don't match up to their ability,negative +from 1950 comes a neat thriller about a couple from abroad and also the disease evelyn pulls out all stops as the essential victim of this film noir once back in the united states she is not aware that she could be the disease on everyone and everything she comes in contact with eventually she is pursued and must be stopped before an occurs other than striking performance there is good support from villainous charles william bishop dorothy malone lola and the finale is a with miss on the of a building with and hundreds of below a good b flick,positive +i never made any comment here on imdb but as i saw this movie i cant be quiet i just set up my account here only because this horrible movie in two words this movie is pure crap the movie has no sense at all nothing makes sense in this movie watching this movie was pain all the way i don't understand why val kilmer agreed to do this movie he plays a minor role as a gang leader says few words and he is there like 5 minutes total br br i bought this dvd based only because of val kilmer name on the box and the interesting pictures on the cover br br as was stated in other review zero stole my money and i want it back the title of the movie itself brought the clue about the rating everyone should give it zero,negative +this is by far the most repulsive and atrocious version of the scarlet ever to be as a fan i was sincerely offended by what they did to the characters but this atrocity is not worth watching even if you aren't familiar with the story br br for example would never stab people in the back just to get down a would never have a string of women in his bed never had an affair with nor with whoever the heck she is would not randomly shoot tony in the head name is not nor has it ever been paul they have completely any reference to the replacing them instead with james bond and br br as to the film itself the makeup is horrifying the women look like elizabeth beauty mark wanders around her face at random the poor actors have no script to work with so it's not really their fault that their characters are as thin as wet paper the dialogue oh the dialogue the dialogue is unbearable and whoever is responsible for all those little at the bottom of the screen should be forced to watch this movie as i counted 13 location in the first half hour before i gave up as if we can't figure out that the body of water between england and france is the english channel br br the film if i can bring myself to call it that since it's really just with a is absolutely without redeeming value do not waste your time and brain cells on this drivel instead go watch the 1982 anthony andrews jane seymour version or the 1934 leslie howard film or indeed anything but this one,negative +alien express is one of the worst movies i've bothered to experience br br the plot is predictable the aliens look like rubber puppets the effects would have been mediocre in the 70's but are just atrocious by today's standards couldn't they take a shot of a real train instead of using an obvious model br br the acting isn't great but really the dialogue is the worst part it its way into your mind don't you die on me not now if you ever manage to suspend disbelief long enough to be absorbed into the movie you'll rapidly be painfully back to reality by the aliens the model train or the clichéd dialogue br br the only reason i didn't give this movie a 1 is that it doesn't deserve to be rated so badly that some poor might watch it for the pleasure inherent in a truly bad film,negative +this movie was bad and the movies about how some college students stay at a house to get money by it and then they find out that the house has a woman in it and that there is a to hell in this movie there are of stupid scenes like at the start of the movie how they are cleaning the house and they start to dancing to a cheesy song and some of the demons at the end of the movie are just some guys in bad costumes trying to make scary sounds and there are some good gore scenes like when the professor gets his face ripped of i only hired this movie because i am a big fan of horror movies and its only worth watching if u are a fan of horror movies the acting in this movie is really bad the only good actor is roy from the great movie jaws and over all this movie has of flaws and my rating is 4 out of 10,negative +the triangle we are told in this waste of celluloid is the to another time and dimension and can be crossed using cheap special effects by bad actors inane dialogue br br i simply was unable to decide who the makers of this thought would be its target audience as it seems impossible anybody could even a of pleasure from the outcome avoid its not even bad enough to be good,negative +the duke is a film based in the heart of the british where an old duke john dies and to avoid his large property and the vast to be taken from him after death by 2 oliver and sophie he passes his down to his dog the best friend an american girl named charlotte played by whose parents die becomes by the former duke due to him being her great uncle a young chef named arrives with him and charlotte instantly connecting creating a romantic sub plot which in its own way acts as the under tone for the main plot line being the activities of the and his many activities and love interests with other dogs all this is watched over by james who plays a butler who is determined to try and serve his old duke by doing his best to serve his new master acts as the older character there to comfort and advise the younger ones whilst he over looks and performs various ridiculous tasks under his new master a fine comedic performance mixed with elements of drama to end the career of a fine and influential actor br br though from the technical viewpoint i dislike this film as i only watched upon discovering james role though the plot is good elements of the writing and directing have to be ignoring the absurdity of a duke i personally dislike the over use of comedic and outrageous jokes upon the characters due to their the on related humour as you like is much too apparent and general silliness of many characters doesn't appeal to me the director phillip uses mid long shots too often with either an voice or affecting the overall sound quality plus the acting of and whilst good at the dramatic and romantic sequences fall drastically short fulfilling the regarding the role br br but as a mature movie fan i find it easy to be over critical of a simple family film designed to make you laugh i can admit i found certain bits funny and other bits touching along with a plot that may be far fetched but has definite connections i do not recommend this film to mature movie fans but i do highly recommend it to dog lovers families who wish to enjoy a funny film for their child and james fans who wish to see in his final role,negative +sometimes it is funny to watch films from your couch but other times it is just horribly painful to both your eyes and your mind house party 4 down to the last minute is one of those rare examples of when both your eyes and your mind are with you to turn the film off this final installment to the house party series is by far the worst not just sequel but film released by hollywood it becomes very apparent early on in this feature that director chris loved day off with a passion i say this because it becomes very clear that had no trouble the originality of off john hands and choosing to create a film completely void of humor you would think that by stealing themes and images from a funnier film your own film would at least be able to generate a giggle or two with house party 4 proved that he does not have what it takes to direct a sequel much less a hollywood film from his confusing and choppy story the inability to make sense of his characters and recycled old tired cliché moments all is doing is hitting a bigger nail into the coffin that holds the house party films it reminds me of that student that forgets about his project due in an hour and quickly together super cat hair chewing and and presents it as crossing the it just looks horrible and you feel embarrassed for the creator br br so where did this film first take the into the realm of comic stupidity honestly i do not think that most places will allow me to speak that long so instead i would like to hit upon some of the larger topics that hit me the hardest to begin i still cannot shake the rip off it was as if director was ashamed of having to direct another sequel to house party and decided to bring in a completely random formula from a funnier film and see if he could cut and elements from the original series into that formula that was a huge mistake when a director tries to do this what eventually happens is confusion within the audience we think that we are going in one direction but instead we head in another one that is exactly what you can witness in house party 4 in one instance we have john john trying to have the biggest party of the decade while also trying to score a record deal ok kinda reminds me of the original house party but then we away to this random island where uncle charles is afraid of flying grandma gets drunk and some idiotic mind moments with a supposed killer again we begin somewhat strong and end chaotic this is the confusion in which i speak director did not have the ability to keep his hand on either the pulse of humor or the ability to tell a story he would rather cut keep the jokes cheap and think that the audiences are idiots than attempt to revive a stone dead series one would think that when a director was handed that task of filming another house party film he would walk into it thinking that he she would be the one to revive it or bring it back to life instead just wanted to get paid br br i realize that i am slowly growing older as the days go quickly by but i do believe i still keep my hand in the younger culture i listened to rap and r b growing up but the group immature never made it to either my deck or my cd player why i don't think they ever quite had a following but apparently to director chris it would be to cast them as leads in his new house party film didn't anyone at any studio realize that this was going to be in the red rather quickly or how about the option to have himself play the comedic car nothing like a director with no sense of comic timing casting himself as the only source of possible humor it was one of those few instances when i actually missed robin harris and i never thought i would find myself saying that to any film outside of a go nowhere band playing the lead role i also thought that the remainder of the cast only continued to suck the life out of this film uncle charles was annoying when he attempted humor kim was completely wasted for her scenes both literally and while … well … everyone else pretty much falls into that category br br where did chris spend most of the budget for this film not for special guest stars because while this film may have some there were definitely none present at the unforgettable house party nor the possible dream that perhaps kid or play would make one final appearance house party 4 followed no design which ultimately ruined this feature from the foundation down can anyone explain to me why there was any need to use the escaped murderer who happened to be a driver routine for humor was reaching deep within the bottom of the barrel and only produced more instead of substance for once i can admit to there being no redeeming value to this film house party 4 buried the series and while i do hear that there may be more in the i only hope hollywood realizes that this series has died hollywood needs to let this series end forget about the past and move forward in the future i think a sequel to who's the man would get them started in the right direction br br grade out of,negative +in a village in the middle of nowhere in is the youngest son of his mother who had cried for five years when he is a young man he falls in love for a years old teenager that dreams to see the world and becomes an actress promises to bring the world to and once in de he of a television show and promises to travel to the fifty years ahead in the future or die for love with a deadly machine he had invented fifty years later tries to fix what was wrong in his travel br br a is one of the best brazilian movies i have recently seen the refreshing and original story is a poetic and magic fable of love that will certainly thrill the most skeptical and tough viewer in a unique romance the direction is excellent the screenplay is awesome the cinematography and colors are magnificent the cast by the icon and is fantastic with marvelous lines the soundtrack has some beautiful brazilian songs and if this movie is distributed overseas please thrust me and rent it or buy the dvd because i bet you will love the story that will bring you into tears my vote is nine br br title brazil a – o o the machine – the fuel is love,positive +this sweet and paced 5 is definitely not among harold better films gags are sparse and mostly uninspired melodrama is the setup takes forever as lloyd the unconventional but kindly country doctor makes his rounds bringing a little sunshine into the lives of children the elderly and it's like a version of adams ugh 4 10,negative +the cell is an exotic masterpiece a trip into not only the vast mind of a serial killer but also into one of a very talented director this is evidence of what can be achieved if human beings their this is at work pushing aside thoughts to fall into and cliches and creating something truly magnificent this is the best movie of the year to date br br i've read numerous complaints about this film anywhere from all style and no substance to poorly cast characters and bad acting to criticize this film is to miss the point this movie may be a landmark a tradition where future movies will hopefully follow the cell has just opened the door to another world of imagination so can we slam the door in its face and tell it and its director that we don't want any more personally i would more than welcome another movie by and would love to see someone try to challenge him br br we've all heard talk about going inside the mind of a serial killer and yes i do agree that the genre is a bit the 90s were full of movies trying to depict what makes serial killers some of them worked but most failed but the cell does not down the same trail we are given a new twist we are physically transported into the mind and presented with nothing less than a fascinating journey of the most mysterious subject matter ever studied br br i like how the movie does not us down with too much scientific trying to explain how jennifer lopez actually gets to enter the brain of another instead she just lies down on a laboratory table and is wrapped with what looks like really long and into another the cell wants to let you see what it's all about and not how it's all about and i guess that's what some people don't like true i do like explanations with my movies but when a movie onto new ground you must let it do what it desires and simply take it in br br i noticed how the film was very dark when it showed reality maybe to contrast the bright visuals when inside the brain of another nonetheless the set design was simply astonishing i wouldn't be surprised if this film took home a few oscars in cinematography best costumes best director and the like if it were up to me it'd at least get nominated for best picture br br i've noticed that i've kind of been repeating myself not because there's nothing else to say but because i can't stress enough how fantastic i thought the cell was if you walk into the movie with a very open mind and to have it taken over with wonders and an eye popping feast then you are assured a good time i guess this film was just a little too much for some people writing it off as weird or crazy i am very much into psychology and the imagination of the human mind so it was right down my alley leaving the theater i heard one audience member say whoever made that movie sure did a lot of good drugs if so i want what he was smoking br br out of 4,positive +i managed to record the brothers off broadcast tv with the commercials back in the early 80s i've it to many friends all of whom agree it's one of the best b movies ever made one day while walking to my nyc apartment i saw shooting a scene for his tv series mickey we had a moment to chat and i told him how much i enjoyed the bros and considered it a pure classic he me and said it was one of the best and most memorable film experiences of his career he was very friendly and sincere and i was grateful for the few moments he took to chat with a fan this is one classic that needs to be on dvd,positive +i am a big fan of and all the books in the series and i love the movie i was happy to see that they finished up with moon i have been a long time fan of steve and was eager to see him in a serious role i personally think that steve has done an amazing job of re creating gus i can't think of another actor who would have been better he has the voice the mannerisms the of word all down to a t granted no one could ever hold a candle to robert duvall as gus but i think that steve has done a pretty darn good job karl urban acts the same in all the movies he has been in so he has made a good match for call as for the movie itself yeah it's a little corny but can you really beat no i don't think so,positive +ugh yes it's exactly like the mess or the horrific in washington in the movie the mother keeps questioning her little boy over and over and over until he finally tells her what she obviously wants to hear the court and repeat the pattern the questioning itself is sexually creepy a repeated assault in its own way br br the throw in a doctor talking about physical evidence of abuse maybe to justify the film's point of view that two to four year olds never make things like this up well they will if every adult they know is asking them to the way this piece such techniques makes watching it an exercise in frustration for anyone who knows what it takes to get a successful in real life br br they also add a special arrest incident towards the end to prove their case no parallel to this fictional incident ever occurred in real life can't say more here without turning this into a spoiler but you'll know it when you see it br br yes children are abused sometimes by paid care but to watch a movie which the ludicrous hysterical against so many totally innocent people to watch re creations of the trials that ruined the lives of countless children as well as the lives of the accused i didn't think i'd last until the end it's just too sad and made more so by the writing seeming of the abusive paranoid questioning techniques that started what can we call it the of the br br no one i know has ever been accused of child abuse thank heaven but my 12 times over great grandmother was accused of witchcraft and killed for it filled with what they think is holy anger are just as dangerous now as three hundred years ago sensational drivel like this these of satanic abuse are up all over the country there must be something there so tell the jury that just eggs them on br br and whoever thought it was a good idea to have kids under ten some of them under five play these roles it's traumatic to watch them delivering their lines how much more traumatic was it to act these parts the commitment to fight child abuse apparently doesn't apply to themselves and what were the child actors' parents thinking melinda uncredited at least in the version on the a e network in 2005 but i think it was and teddy brian were terrific professionals or not though they were too young to be exposed to this material much less to be paid to act it out despite these real life children do you know the man got an emmy nomination for directing which just goes to show how crazed things were back in 1989,negative +midnight madness is the ultimate hunt movie for all time michael j fox and paul make respective pre fame appearances laughs abound everywhere and the intrigue of who will emerge at the end of the great all will keep you on the proverbial edge of your seat a true must see,positive +i saw this movie with my girlfriends and we all loved it it is so sweet and heartwarming a real tear i was still thinking about the story days after i'd seen the movie it's such a beautiful story about the difficult things all families go through it's something anybody can relate to i really recommend this movie to anybody looking for a saturday night rental with your girlfriends your family your boyfriend everyone will really enjoy it d it's a real story about a real family that would pull at not to mention beautiful landscape shots and fantastic acting see it i'm sure you'll love it as much as i did,positive +my first question is not about the horrible acting not about the horrendous writing it is the directing the choices that were made about the cinematography are some of this worst decisions i have ever seen why does every single bad guy have to die in slow motion i was about to beat myself with a rubber the camera shots make it so that you can't see whats going on i was just about to turn the movie off because of accent when it made it to the sex scene so i thought it might get better well it did not if you rate special effects on an a b c rating scale i would have to put it around a w or so and did i mention the acting wow was it bad and the worst part of the entire expect to die experience is the blatant of the phrase on the cover which is the matrix just got comparing this movie to the matrix is easily the worst comparison i have ever seen if you haven't seen this movie don't unless you are looking for a good reason to beat your head against the wall,negative +this movie is a nice cute family oriented film if you don't like violence this is the movie to watch only thing annoying about this movie is the tune but it's a catchy tune repeats whenever c h o m p s leaps in to action,positive +this film shows a serious side to the often thought of as gore fest works of fulci not a lot of blood and guts here but a fine tale about murder and the lives affected by it br br a real find considering it was made in 1972 and will soon celebrate its br br check this one out but be warned it is hard to find br br ron,positive +comes back to home after her college she has got a nice charisma which always drawn men to her a dare devil navy employee is one such guy he loves her deeply and even engaged to marry her is another person who is insane and he also loves br br is very close to her family and is by everyone in his home has never met but then would kill anyone who comes between him and so when comes to know that is in love with what will he do will he kill him or he himself will be for his devil acts,positive +i really don't know why i'm this i think most people agree that this movie is bad well let me say this br br when i first get done watching some movies i like them then as time goes on my opinion changes about the movie this happened with end of days i liked it the first time i saw it i thought it was entertaining but a few weeks later my opinion has changed so to resolve this i watched it again at a friends house well it's bad br br i'm a logic person if i see a logic hole in a movie i try to ignore it if i see two then i start to get annoyed more than two and i'm p ed off end of days made me p ed off after my second viewing br br first off the movie is a bit depressing everything about it is sad everything from acting to the movie's colors but dark looking movies don't bother me but some thing else did br br if satan can his wounds how can you possible kill him in his mortal form if you shoot him his skin grows back if you cut off his head a new one should pop back up so question what's the point of even trying to kill him i'll tell you why because this is a stupid movie that has a recycled villain this isn't the devil my friends this is a human being of those bond villains who give away there entire scheme to the hero br br like i said it's worth a look but don't see it twice because it's crap,negative +mike in finest form i was not a fan of closer so it's refreshing to see him again right back on top with this comedy set in the darkest of circumstances just one slip in tone could have this compelling picture but and his very strong a list cast never put a foot wrong in this biopic of a deeply flawed but utterly compelling br br philip seymour hoffman as usual is and brilliant here playing a damaged but ultra smart cia and it is in the between hanks and characters where the comedy rarely is movie humour laugh out loud and also smart this hits the spot time after time with a biting satirical edge that makes you both laugh and at the state of the world often simultaneously br br one other major plus is the length of the picture the film is based on george fat book of the same title the temptation for screenwriter aaron his claim to fame is the west wing must have been to make a fat movie but what we get is a breath taking 90 odd minutes of great story with sweeping br br this film deserves to be seen and to be recognized for finding an extraordinary balance between the darkest of dark subject matter and the of touch of it's witty script even if it does the obvious link between the help that and wilson provide and the ultimate consequences 9 11,positive +saw this for the first time on uk tv with good musical the elevator scene is class especially when he does the going down thing in the phone booth and then with the floor the jump through the is really impressive and there's so much more apart from all the stuff that's been mentioned before there's the fight with the man who's been bullying the woman with the dog it just looks so simple the only is the plot he gets mixed up with dead eye dan who then escapes but doesn't even when some more gangsters get involved later on the scene where it looks like he's shooting at the fat inspector is funny but would have been better if dead eye was the one pulling the trigger,positive +this movie is funny if you're the gentleman who was sitting about three behind me repeating every punchline laughing when there were no gags on screen and a at every scene involving a computer or mobile device br br for everyone else it's a mean spirited comedy the movie strictly follows the formula of the later scary movie films as well as epic movie and meet the though without the of heartless pop culture references that made the latter two so irritating still the of intellectual and figures the world over makes it clear that the film knows its audience people who envy superhero movie is particularly and consistently nasty to stephen introducing him as a sex and using his as a vehicle for slapstick br br the plot is based on spider man with batman begins and x men thrown in just to deliver some physical comedy much of the movie is slapstick but not in any or interesting way the longest running gag is a fart joke and early on the seem to believe that having the main character get thrown in of fake animal poo automatically an otherwise uninspired rehash of the spider bite scene from spider man perhaps the only redeeming feature of this feature is the energy in it notably absent in other recent parodies the filmmakers act as though they're doing something new and the audience can feel the influence in the way the actors around the screen an extremely length about an hour and fifteen minutes and the of the presentation makes superhero movie tolerable rather than horrifying,negative +i had just finished reading the book and was really looking forward to seeing this tv adaptation which was broadcast on the hallmark channel on monday night 5 30 the key to the whole book was the which was stolen by the man with steel teeth but i watched for an hour out of 3 1 2 and i saw the man with the steel teeth but i never saw him steal a i saw someone steal some virus but what did that have to do with the book it's too bad because this film had great production values and a good cast but isn't the idea of turning a book into a movie tv or film to get the people who read the book to be part of the audience they only kept me for an hour i thought the premise of the book was great and what did they do but throw out the whole premise this book had a great to hitchcock but they ignored it and it said in the titles that was involved in the production they sure must have paid him a lot of money,negative +the historical inaccuracies of this film have been well documented it was never intended to be serious history but an entertaining saga and there it succeeds errol flynn was never better as this role was for him olivia was never more beautiful arthur kennedy never more villainous anthony quinn never more noble than as crazy horse it had much humor and pathos and held your interest throughout the one historical aspect i found most inaccurate was the final last stand which occurred on the banks of the little big horn the film version was filmed in a desert with no river in sight however i still consider it marvelous entertainment typical of hollywood's golden age,positive +a film for mature educated audiences br br i saw random hearts in an advance screening shortly before its north american release this romantic drama was quite a treat i'm sure this story will not be everyone's cup of tea especially considering the film's darkly downbeat premise but the has some very uplifting strong points in its favor br br all time box office draw harrison ford star wars of the lost the fugitive air force one games is at the top of his game as the and desperate internal affairs officer dutch ford's very subdued nuanced performance shows quite the range he can achieve with class and determination in bringing the audience into his world of loss betrayal this is the perfect complex role and very different type of film for harrison ford to grace the screen with between his action blockbusters next year harrison ford returns to action first for director robert forrest back to the future in his summer 2000 thriller what lies beneath and reportedly later in the year in the film adaptation of tom the sum of all fears will be harrison ford's third outing as cia jack ryan br br director sydney out of africa the firm has a supporting role in this feature as a political to scott it's a very sharp energetic portrayal for not only is sydney a gifted director he is also one of the most believable natural and charming actors around see eyes wide shut as well br br scott thomas the english patient the horse shows that you don't necessarily have to be eccentric or to be considered sexy this is one of her better films and she gives a tremendously crafted and performance that works well opposite ford's quiet man br br the subplots work wonderfully especially the subplot involving ford's character's investigation into police corruption look for a chilling effective turn by heat actor dennis who plays detective george the to overcome in investigation into police corruption br br the rest of the supporting cast is a wonderful delight charles s whose long for a film leading role goes to show that he is one of the best character actors around and bonnie hunt who i find extremely solid in this production steals most of her scenes with that wonderful charming smile as wendy judd br br the technical side of thriller is top from dave the firm perfectly surreal feeling score to a river runs through it crisp photography to the sharp editing that keeps the film feeling fresh despite the film's unfortunate premise br br i highly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good yarn of mystery well paced plot character driven stories and romance all rolled into one this is a terrific story about betrayal forgiveness it also features one of the most surprising yet poignant and certain to be controversial endings for a harrison ford film in recent times random hearts is definitely one of the better films of the year br br 1 2 out of or 8 5 out of 10 0,positive +i have never seen so much talent and money used to produce anything so bad in my entire life as stated in other a who's who of talent such as christopher plummer faye donald sutherland and many more were thrown together in a film that is not recognizable as an agatha christie story i keep thinking of how it could be with the same cast done the right way br br the film has even less than the christopher reeves movies the large cast makes the slick production even less effective than in those films because there is not enough time to get to know anyone dave jazz soundtrack had me wondering if the wrong video was in the the case from the rental store the music became more and more offensive as the plot progressed it's hard to say whether the soundtrack or the annoying technique of repeating information from earlier scenes was more offensive from someone who has seen most christie films that's what attracted me to this it was one of the few i hadn't seen miss this one it is not an agatha christie movie are better suited to producing flicks about big time wrestling rather than the atmosphere of english mystery,negative +what a script what a story what a mess,negative +there are several ways to this movie and a couple of them have been shown in some of the past comments this is a movie to be as a free recreation of a known subject and therefore not to be compared with the opera the book or other carmen movies seen before it just stands for itself and i must say that this carmen does it very well it is a mistake to compare because that is the first step to deny movies the chance to be creative works of art is a master of atmosphere and the art direction the costumes and the photography are extremely well put together to achieve a pleasing aesthetic experience let's take it as it is br br and that brings us to the next someone complains about the typical spanish clichés in the movie well historically the movie is extremely well and you can see the results of that very serious work in every scene it is not only an accurate portrait of the black spain of knife and that portrayed so vividly but it's also of that part of history as seen by a fascinated with the side of that society honestly anyone who doesn't want to see any cliché about spain shouldn't buy a ticket to see carmen but in this case those clichés are presented before they became one and the way to see them is getting rid of our own prejudices br br another important to understand this movie properly is to speak the language it is not acceptable to criticize any actor performance for not having understood his or her lines if all the rest of the audience did the problem most likely lies somewhere else paz vega has an with her accent and all she says is understandable and credible her partner gives also a convincing portrait of the officer that became a and her accent is very well learned br br no less important is to have a open approach to the material to say that paz vega is horrible suggests that the author of the phrase entered the theater for the wrong reasons we already had in spain a critic in one of the most papers that used to recommend us pictures he found without mentioning it and that was not totally fair for the rest of us especially for the ones that hadn't that the man was writing with parts of his that many readers didn't necessarily had to care for i'm not suggesting at all that the reviewer had the same motivation but the expectations must have been different as the ones of those among us that went to see a talented and beautiful actress play an almost classic role because that's what we got paz vega is carmen and an excellent one in movie,positive +first of all this movie is gross to the point of nauseating and my advice is to avoid it at all costs if you ever want to eat ice cream again i tried watching it because it looked like it might be funny but it soon became quite disturbing with the ice cream made out of body parts and surprisingly graphic effects it opens with a boy named greg witnessing the gruesome murder of an ice cream man greg subsequently goes crazy and grows up to be the title character by what appear to be mob there is no explanation for this murder making it the biggest wtf moment in the entire movie other lesser wtf moments include the surreal asylum greg goes to featuring evil a woman speaking in because she has been possessed by the holy spirit what this has to do with anything i don't know and the fact that olivia holy crap has her career this badly is in it br br none of these are good enough reasons to watch it the only reason is for the character who is a skinny kid with stuffed under his shirt so that he looks like a fat kid for some reason this struck me as hilarious i stayed up far longer into the night than i should have watching this movie just to figure out if there was some reason they couldn't use an actual fat kid for the role although i fell asleep before the end i've gathered from other reviews that ends up losing the weight okay so they didn't have the budget to pull this off realistically suggestion to the director how about making the character not overweight br br that's it if the of has not interested you enough there is no other reason to acknowledge this film's existence if disgusting horror movies about ice cream are your preferred source of entertainment check out the far superior the stuff instead,negative +tragic hero is a film that is most definitely trying to the classic godfather films focusing on family crime loyalty and revenge also this is part of a two part series as the godfather also was at the time however this film comes nowhere near the level of those classic films and actually worse than other thrillers being released in hong kong at the time br br one reason is the acting with the exception of fat the acting is generally over the top and unbelievable the audience tends to find the proceedings humorous simply because the actors' inability to maintain any degree of seriousness as a result we find the film not truly emotionally involving or intense since we don't particularly care what occurs with these characters br br another reason is its lack of focus the narrative tries to many different story elements into the film but this results in portions of the movie becoming underdeveloped as well as lacking any real sense of the audience sometimes becomes lost at the proceedings we are viewing not knowing what the character's motivations are br br the film's climax does contain a decent gun fight but again since we don't care about the characters we don't care who lives or who dies the scene loses it's intensity and suspense because of this the other action set pieces are rather mundane in nature with a feeling of it being too controlled rather than free flowing br br in general this is a strictly average film and isn't recommended to the general film viewer only hard core genre and fans of fat should consider this film for viewing,negative +i was never all that impressed by night gallery but this one episode stands out br br a tv network executive an odd act a young nerdy boy who proceeds to make the the whole thing as a waste of time until both come true the next morning br br what first seemed a act becomes a hit show as the kid's prove consistently accurate br br then one day he refuses to do the show facing showtime everyone's at end even threatening him with legal action if he doesn't fulfill his contract and make his daily br br the young boy and a seemingly tomorrow br br after the show the executive asks for an explanation only to learn why the complete truth is too terrifying to reveal,positive +perhaps we are too much attached to great when we hear of brought to screen perhaps we expect too much from these films however if we as viewers are offered far too little what happens then br br that is what i thought after seeing by paul marcus a part of the production series on the roman empire by roger young the first movie included at least peter o'toole but what does this movie include br br hardly anything accurate the historical errors are so serious that the movie changes facts and rather a distorted image of the roman empire than the true history throughout the movie we see young young man during the allegedly long reign of young man during the reign of and finally during his own historically 14 year long reign and he dies the same according to the movie born during the reign of lives for more than 40 years but looks to be in his late when he dies continuity combined with made up history is the biggest problem of the movie which makes it hardly logical not to say reliable loses his father is raised by slaves at that time his mother is by later however she suddenly marries emperor who already has big children with married to him at these moments of the movie we see mistress all right it is historically accurate yet no source proves that she played such a role in the rise of christianity in rome in the film she is not only a devoted christian but even a witness of st paul's miracle he brings a young girl back to life besides there was historically nothing like seen on the court of since was born in 4 year long reign a d i understand that movies may change something but such an error makes the script absolutely and many many other shortcomings concerning content that are hard to but after 30 minutes of watching this film i whether i was watching a historical movie or a total fantasy br br as for its artistic features which supply us with entertainment they are equally lame as the history here is the performances are artificial the cast simply have beautiful faces but weak acting abilities perhaps i am too much attached to peter ustinov or charles in the lead but hans does not fit as at all he could have some of the good moments as an actor but never as the infamous roman emperor is he an artist who burns rome for a song is he a who the love to his relatives is he a cruel who sacrifices the lives of thousands of innocent people for the sake of alleged justice none of these he is just a young man who does not know how to rule and in the long run begins to release the fire burning within himself john is out of place in this film as and absolutely inferior to other portrayals of the character is only sexy as yet she could have been much much better the costumes are inaccurate and the sets do not low budget results in low effects and consequently low entertainment br br but what made me most angry in this movie and as a result i give it 1 10 are some moments that are absolutely br br the death of and st paul's talk with at her dead body br br mention of the current conquest of on the feast and soon his death he while was his wife much before his death br br killing laura mother br br arguments in the speech to the br br finally death a calm day at the lake and an indifferent suicide that leads to a moral said by let us forgive him br br all in all this film is a waste of time and is absolutely as yet another production concerning the roman empire it's better to make one good film in 30 years than ten minor little ones in 5 years 1 10 should not have been made at all,negative +william h macy is terrific in this alfred hitchcock film macy stars as a film critic who accidentally kills one of his girlfriends the characters that ensue are hilarious james gives a terrific performance as a private detective as always macy is incredibly funny and gives a phenomenal performance see this movie whenever it is on t v and check your video stores because this is one you don't want to miss,positive +ok so it owes pulp fiction but in my opinion has it's own voice and identity mainly because of the music video direction style sketch like narrative and great performances thomas jane delivers great the drug dealer show down is extraordinary aaron likewise james has a short and appearance great humor they got the wong house the and rape scene is memorable as is mickey cameo appearance take a peak br br great hollywood popcorn b production with strong performances of a level and rourke br br well take a peak it's worth,positive +this movie should be called blame it on the script directed by stanley of in the rain fame this celluloid mid life crisis is not all bad it's got some lush scenes of de and various scantily clad extras with each other and around the beach to the sounds of but there is just something about watching fifty something michael caine get it on with whiny teenager michelle johnson that makes you feel well sleazy this storyline is a complete stretch too nobody but and vain old studio in hollywood could have green lit this embarrassment maybe they are so used to having young as arm candy that they forget it's their fat that hold the key to their appeal not their huge larry king style and yellow teeth it's one thing for a young to have a crush on an older man but on her best friend's father who happens to be married and then to throw herself at him shamelessly ugh there's nothing entertaining about that it's rather pathetic and grotesque take note of a young moore's budding talent,negative +you've got to think along the lines of last tango in paris for this one because the mood and emotion runs along the same lines and maintains the same heights the difference being that in this exceptional intense and depiction of love among the ruins of a the setting is a gay perhaps even one that is set to in time and not the equally but context of own film br br the last third of this film depicts a passionate love never seen in gay cinema to talk of pornography or gay self misses the point and intelligence of this work this film though on first impression appears to take us into the familiar often depicted underworld of gay street life then to the rules of this genre by it to a super real degree the result is a hyper charged emotional an exceptional that the drama to one of big universal themes and giant gestures br br this film the high ground because of the brilliant performances by it's actors notably a young jean and the directing a tour de force of cinema outstanding in ambition and it's into the depths of human emotion as a contribution to gay cinema this film this difficult ground and makes it it's own triumph,positive +i loved flash gordon as a child and watching the series again on dvd brings back such fond memories each 15 minute episode features the adventures of our hero flash the lovely and dr on the planet with flash escaping death at every turn the shark men nearly him he faces the fire monster in the tunnel of terror and he's in mortal peril in the static room br br the characters are still fun buster is every bit the blonde hero and jean rogers is a delicate and beautiful princess aura still plots to steal flash for herself king of the men still has his laugh and angel wings and the emperor of the universe is still giving everyone the evil eye and the creeps br br this serial probably wouldn't interest children today with its hokey effects oh that spaceship but it's a fun bit of nostalgia for those who liked it the first time around the actors play it straight and don't play down to kids i appreciate that young viewers were expected to read the chapter which had pretty big words in them br br i'm glad this came out on dvd it's a lot of fun to this classic sci fi serial,positive +i'm not going to tell anyone what happens in the end but it did not fit with the movie the rest of imaginary heroes though portrayed a realistic family going through realistic issues such as death drugs relationships and high school i could have that they were my own family no joke br br was completely believable as a teen struggling with his brother's suicide and weaver plays a mother trying to keep the remains of her slightly dysfunctional family together br br although this family may take their issues to the extreme anyone can relate to what they go through whether it be living up to expectations or being a parent,positive +if your looking for a movie with fantastic music nice cast and a storyline that is not to difficult to understand fame is for you br br i have several scenes that i love in this movie some make you laugh others make you the editing i think is wonderful really fast and often funny maybe there would have been some more potential in the whole thing all the story's stay somehow on the surface maybe a bit too many characters are involved but i don't care because the real stars are br br the musical scenes one of my favorites the hot lunch jam sequence that piece is just so raw funky and filmed in a special way style in music hell breaking loose its just i miss this raw energy in todays music clips the only similar energy i found perhaps in bette the rose all of the concert footage its about capturing something wild that is happening and not doing it just perfect take by take br br so fame is a wonderful nostalgia trip to when where heavy and walk mans not available i recommend it once a year sure not for everyone,positive +just read through the other comments here and was a little surprised to find that no one had said anything about the acting or plot br br richard and eddie murphy can both deliver an amazing stand up comedy show great actors they are not enough about that br br as for the plot oh man every time the movie tries to fool you into believing the good guys are going to lose you know those scenes what the good guys loses oh i see it was just a trick it's done so terribly bad you can spot it a mile away br br it had 2 or 3 funny moments but not enough to save the day br br it's a little silly that these comments has to be 10 lines now a lot of people will fill it up with crap for it to be being brief is an art,negative +although flawed in it's view of this movie will shed light for the viewer about the and inaccuracies concerning aids despite the depressing subject matter this film depicts a warm friendship between two boys and will make you laugh as well as cry very well acted by all especially joseph and brad the language is a little strong though appropriate and it's an entertaining and intelligent film for the whole family but remember to have the ready,positive +barry kane is an aircraft factory worker suddenly takes place at the factory and starts a fire his best friend is killed they him of the deed but kane knows it was a man named who was there he becomes a fugitive and goes to find this man named he's helped by a kind blind man he lets his niece the model patricia martin take the man to a local to have his removed they don't end up there for the woman doesn't believe barry and wants to take him to the police but soon he changes her mind about barry and they find out about another attempt that's going to take place soon there's a group of anti american and frank is a member of that group 1942 is another example of the fact alfred hitchcock could not make a bad movie robert plays barry kane and he's really good at that lane with her good looks plays pat martin also really good otto makes a great main villain as the leader of the fascist group charles norman lloyd still alive at plays and makes a very believable crook is the most sympathetic character as the blind man philip martin the dance hall sequence is fantastic and also the moments on the circus train in the end we're at the statue of liberty,positive +i viewed my last night for the first time in at least ten years i found the work itself and the performances just as gripping as they were in my memory george of course was the master of the role of there is never a touch of in his determination to vengeance on those he believes caused his wife's death and his daughter's disappearance at least not until the end when he discovers that his for revenge has led him to murder his wife angela lansbury on the other hand creates a more complex portrayal as mrs she understood that wanted that role to be something of a comic counterpart to and even brings some into her of and her of the boy for those with long memories this performance takes one back to her debut performances in the picture of grey and long before murder she wrote only a year ago i saw the musical at opera of chicago with current opera superstar as others have commented on the operatic quality of the score my conclusion is that works better with actors who can at least handle the vocal lines than with opera performers who have limited acting skills as a final note i the performer who portrayed with his mixed and confusion about what is going on around him it seemed appropriate that he had virtually the last word,positive +this movie earns its 3 for lousy writing poor technical merit and continuity problems some people have given this movie a 10 and perhaps that is okay if you are simply it for its fun factor however technically this is an inept movie serial from start to finish produced by 3rd rate writers actors and crew that really was true of nearly all the serials because they were meant as low brow entertainment particularly aimed at the kids and there's nothing wrong with that but high art it ain't spy earns a lower than average score compared to other serials because it is of even lower quality and has major continuity problems even for a serial it was common for a serial to have a cliff i e a moment at the end of the episode that looked as if the good guy dies but miraculously survives when the next episode began but in this film it's much and ridiculous you would literally see the hero die in the last episode but in the next they re shot the scene and showed he actually didn't die even though they clearly showed him buy the farm in the last one again and again in spy he seems to die but in the next episode they show it from a different angle and he somehow avoided death even if he fell feet into a river fell into a buzz saw or whatever br br watch this movie not for its quality but either for a good laugh or to learn what it was like to go to the movies on saturday decades ago,negative +like other movies from the worst director ever ed wood this movie is very bad but because of that it is also very funny may be not for everyone but i laughed a lot it is a strange thing when you enjoy a bad movie how do you rate it as a movie very low as entertainment at least a little higher br br the movie tries to explain what a is and it does this through a scientist bela lugosi and an inspector who talks to a doctor timothy farrell who knows about these things the doctor tells the detective two stories and that is what we and apparently the scientist see the doctor these stories because a dead is found suicide and because of a in the news paper about a sex change the first and longest story is about ed wood himself who is in love and about to marry barbara fuller but he has never told her he like to dress as a woman when he is named glenda the movie tells the same thing over and over again especially the fact that a is not necessarily a homosexual the movie almost says that being a is not a bad thing but being homosexual is since it keeps telling us the fact that a is not a homosexual the second story is about a who really wants a sex change and not just wants to dress up as a woman but it is much shorter and less interesting br br a couple of things make this movie very bad and therefore laughable how the story is presented is the first thing the way the same things are told over and over again and the conclusion of it all are others this is not where it ends the acting is very bad especially fuller seems to be reading her lines directly from a little screen somewhere every thing she says is funny the whole dialogue actually gave me quite some laughs br br there is also a sequence where someone walks into a room the door stays half open and we see something hanging on the wall not completely straight then the door in what seems to be the same shot although we know it is not is a little less open and suddenly the thing on the wall hangs straight ed wood didn't mind to leave this kind of continuity errors in his movie may be a good thing because basically it is just another laugh for the modern audience i think you understand that it is a bad movie and i think there is a good chance you will laugh at the ridiculous mistakes as well,negative +this movie gives golf a high mark it was well acted and well directed giving you a view of history that some non sports fans will enjoy the historic factor alone gives it a high rating the golf course was really done well i am in the and have seen as a fan and as someone who loves the game the movie was well done on all levels a must see 5 stars the acting was superb disney has another winner in its bag of great movies if for no other reason watch the film to give hope and to young people whom may not see the hope in their life i would tell you that the setting while in the late and early is very realistic the costumes and were right on the mark as well above and beyond the call of duty for a golf film a must see for fans and non fans alike,positive +i understand that roger corman loves to do things on the cheap but this is just sad i purchased this flick from the dollar bin at my local video store not a month after watching the original i was blown away it was the same damn movie with just some corbin spliced in it reminded me of all of those 80s ninja movies that took old kung fu movies and spliced in a bunch of white ninjas running doing with the word ninja written on their if you haven't seen them check out ninja terminator the ninja black dragon and ninja warriors thanks roger corman you just made me waste a dollar,negative +while not truly terrible this movie is still largely a waste of time and paints an incredibly inaccurate and picture of beach boys history br br basically this movie would have you believe that mike love was the brains behind the band and brian wilson was just a pathetic psycho in fact none of the characters is developed beyond a one dimensional parody but this is a tv movie so what do you expect mike foul is all over this turkey as he attempts to re write history with himself in the role of band and resident genius yeah as if br br on the plus side the music is excellent unlike the previous beach boys made for tv bio summer dreams this movie actually features real beach boys music rather than cover versions also it features a surprising number of beach boys related and seldom heard tracks the i live for the sun being but one example br br this movie was originally shown in two parts on american network tv part one is the superior of the two and documents the boys early days and rise to the top by the time part two rolls around the brian wilson character has become a mere cartoon and the actor seems to be playing for laughs but how could anyone take this crap seriously if you're not a beach boys fan you probably won't get much out of this movie except an extremely and one sided view of the history but then again why would you watch this if you weren't a fan,negative +one of earliest films made in france is possibly his only political satire the story of the who wanted a king mirrors its title as a group of high feel that democracy has gone flat so they demand a king from to rule their land when he sends down a the ask for another king saying the is but political sends down a hungry this time whose frog eyes the town's residents as the original is about to slide down the he speaks his moral let well enough alone this film features a few beautiful crowd scenes of dozens of puppet tricks the audience into believing they are all moving at once by keeping the background in constant motion and only about six or so at one time the slightly corny dialogue and problems with lighting in a few places the quality of repeat viewings however its historical significance in life make it of importance to watch his feelings towards government immediately following his flee from russia are likely expressed in this film in addition the technical of so many characters at once in a stop motion film is astounding,positive +id just like to say that the film was good and touching the film explains to you the real meaning of being saved or born again and is very well set out the acting was quite good but could do with some the story board is catchy and when my church had youth service and we watched it 8 people gave there life to christ id just like to say too anyone who is reading this give your life to christ and from your sin please visit www com thank you andrew br br the word of god will not turn void so get saved and from your sin,positive +no just no that's all that needs to be said br br summary a random guy is in a for some reason i'm not sure but it's his duty to run around inside the next great thriller br br a five year old could make a better movie just filming an or even just grass growing seriously br br you can't say it has bad acting because there is no acting you can't say it has bad writing because it has no writing you can't say it has bad cinematography because there is no cinematography you can't say it's a bad movie because there is no movie if you don't believe me go watch it just don't say i never warned you,negative +there are few films that have had me waiting and waiting for release more than this one this is the latest film from the dead gentlemen group responsible for the original film and the demon hunters films this group has not been terribly active over the last few years but this film is a definite reason to try and keep things up in following their progress br br this film follows a group of who are trying to finish a campaign run by a frustrated by his disregard for his story with the help of some new blood they attempt the campaign again with hopes of finishing this time br br this movie is a breath of fresh air in the movie community and a great improvement over the original the movie shows respect for the game much like the original movie did but on top of that this movie shows a dramatic improvement on special effects it above the simplicity of college films the acting is fairly decent and the jokes are quite funny br br unfortunately many of the jokes are in jokes so if you are not a you may not find the film as funny as others so this is why i give the movie an 8 instead of the 9 that i initially thought of any case if you are a or know about check this one out you will enjoy it,positive +all i have to say is that this movie is the bomb you are going to cry when you see this i mean this is a reminder for everyone how hard and easy it is to fall in love it reminds you of the days during your youth when you were and everything that was bad for you was washed away with a single kiss even though i am still a teen this is how i live my life when i am with that certain someone everything that was negative in my mind was so i give this movie a 10 for it's heartfelt message and touching plot actors josh and chris i also give a 10 for having a cute face,positive +a female friend invited me to see this in the theaters br br after half an hour we walked out and went into the next yeah we broke the rules in time to catch the beginning of against all odds br br i remember too many apes dancing around saying very little about the characters or introduction to the story captured either one of us or was even memorable it just dragged to the point of being painfully boring and believe me any excuse was good enough to spend time with this particular friend br br the production values were excellent good photography and lighting but this was a major studio release and we came to see a movie not an art gallery it seemed like ralph richardson and mcdowell were going to be wasted in such a poorly written film br br perhaps if you make into the second hour there is something worth seeing i do not have so much patience with my time 4 out of 10,negative +closet land tells a powerful story and has many different subtle elements you could read lots of stuff about the movie's plot before hand but you don't really need to all you need to know is that the movie is all about an along the way we learn lots of things about the and the person being we also learn that the world can be a dark and scary place especially when you have absolutely no control over it br br in the end the movie amounts to a warning really though the movie has several different aspects to it about what happens to people's when they look the other way and ignore happening to those around them br br if you've got about an hour and a half and know where you can rent this i strongly recommend that you do so,positive +this whole movie is just so terrible it is a complete mess the story is just so stupid i can't believe somebody actually sat down and wrote about this and thought it would make a good movie the acting is quite possibly the very worst out of any b movie ever made i've seen a lot of sci fi type b movies before and some of them are actually pretty good some of them however like from should never have been made br br some movie makers think that just because they put something together and somehow got it on the shelves of a movie store that they have accomplished something that it is good and should be watched by people this is not always true and it is definitely not true of from this film loses on all accounts horrible acting stupid plot very weak special effects costumes ever non realistic dialogue bad direction etc you can just tell this film only took about 20 to make and i may be giving it too much credit there i urge you to stay away from this train wreck of a film for your own good,negative +this is what happens when you try to adapt a play from the theater look at the end of the picture totally theatrical br br with a reminiscent of les the final steam less speech try to make us think that the whole and deep theme of this matter was the who cares by this point it was about manipulation and so the audience feels after this movie has ended br br young directors a play is told with the words more than actions a film is the opposite most of the times br br and i'm not talking about the gay theme overly exploited without a point 'cause there's no explanation of this topic considering the so called or basis to the level that this film should have been called grand gay,negative +is another multi dollar adaptation of works like jurassic park the lost world etc the film raped the book of its true meaning and essence i'll make this short and to the point the scenery is beautiful the actors well it's the best they can do the script try hundreds of pages into an hour and half movie you get a mess in the end but how neat of a mess is what counts and falls somewhere below that there were some silly moments like why did the killer decide to jump into the and amy raised by humans surrounded by humans yet can dozens of killer apes around her what sort of twist of common sense is that which brings me to this if there was an annoying character in every movie amy ranks of one here you see amy is this naive little female ape who can talk with a special and to her neat idea but it gets annoying after awhile hearing her talk is worthwhile to see and not but certainly not a memorable film either,negative +the incident is by far the director dustin best film which isn't saying much in his past films and i use the term films loosely the director takes ideas from hollywood blockbusters and severely them the incident is no different the movie is basically con air meets aliens done with the semblance of your average film school production the film is with out of focus shots and plagued by special effects that would have trouble most high school computer animation classes for example almost every on screen explosion is the same fire effect over the screen br br the weak effects and production value are only by a flawed plot and rocky dialogue in a sentence the story strings together like an exposition of hollywood clichés the movie begins with the worst cgi alien ship ever made crashing into the worst cgi earth ever made and a team of army somethings going down to investigate next a bus of prison carrying the worst of the worst from across the state is by the prisoners with the help of their blonde girlfriends armed with the prisoners escape and run into the town of where they encounter the aliens who shock have escaped from an alien prison transport carrying the worst of the worst from across the galaxy the prisoners and their captive police armed with only guns and sad have to fight off the aliens and escape the town before the international space alliance rolls eyes bombs the city into oblivion br br the only real enjoyable parts of the movie are when the actors who are clearly by the script are given the freedom to and also when they fight off the smaller of the alien creatures in a of gun fire other than that the movie really isn't worth anyone's time let alone the plastic that the dvd is made out of how awful was it let's just say the secretary of defense is about 90 years old works in a room that is about as high tech 1950's real estate office and is wearing a looney tunes tie yes if that wasn't clear enough before the man in charge of the is wearing a tie with bugs bunny and the road runner on it the movie basically did i say with the last remaining soldier running into the group of prisoners and guards and the new formed team fighting their way away from the vicious aliens which for some strange reason leads them straight back to the alien ship yeah br br the movie has heart but is with horrible direction and even worse camera work someone seriously needed to slap the and tell him there is more to cinematography than repetitive chest level shots this movie really isn't worth renting if it ever makes it that far being that it's not as horribly bad as the last films made by the director which the laugh ability but it's nowhere near watchable cinema,negative +i really wanted to be able to give this film a 10 i've long thought it was my favorite of the four modern live action batman films to date and maybe it still will be i have yet to watch the films again i'm also starting to become concerned about whether i'm somehow being you see i always liked the films as far as i can remember they were either or to me but the conventional wisdom is that the two tim burton directed films are far superior i had serious problems with the first burton batman this time around i ended up giving it a 7 and apologize as i might i just couldn't help feel that batman returns just has too many small direction plot and script problems scattered throughout to justify a 10 br br but burton almost the problems with sheer force of style and even though there are a lot of small flaws batman returns is still a great film especially if you're a burton fan as batman returns has just as much in common with the nightmare before christmas 1993 and edward 1990 as it does with anything else in the batman universe br br the film begins strongly with the having a baby we see their people walk out of the room with horror on their faces ready to vomit later they have the baby in a small cage finally they take it out for an evening and dump it in the city river the baby ends up becoming batman villain the penguin danny br br meanwhile max christopher walken is the film's evil comparable to jack palance in batman he is planning on city in various ways and we see him emotionally his secretary the kyle michelle pfeiffer when kyle discovers one of the plots tries to get rid of her but she is rescued by cats becoming br br while all of this is going on the penguin who has long been only to exist and who is thought to be dangerous begins a scheme to be presented to the public as a good guy despite having less than motives br br before re watching batman films this time i didn't remember just how little the films are about batman michael keaton it's almost as if burton didn't feel the character was interesting enough to focus on the focus here is much more on the villains especially the penguin batman doesn't appear very often especially in the beginning of the film and surprisingly often we're watching him watching the penguin br br although some viewers necessarily count the above as a flaw i can't say that i do even if i'd like to know more about batman and follow his story more the stories are interesting too and as an origin story for two major batman villains batman returns is already more than complex in terms of plot br br however there are some character problems that i do count as a flaw the penguin has a of circus performers who do his but even though they're frequently on screen we never get to learn anything about them burton has a core of characters as intriguing as those in freaks 1932 available with actors as interesting as vincent but he just doesn't have the space to use them br br for that matter he hardly has space to explore the film plays as if may have been as developed and featured in as many scenes as the penguin but that cut of the film would have been 4 hours long so the bulk of the scenes had to be of course all of this barely leaves any room for batman burton has batman turn very dark in the eye in this film and unusually he never bothers to resolve this as far as we know at the end still think that batman is a murdering lunatic that's an interesting development but unfortunately it ended up being dropped between this film and the next br br as for the script although there are minor problems including some non and bizarre decisions in terms of logic made by characters it's clear that burton and writers sam and daniel waters are not exactly trying to tell a traditional story a lot of the dialogue is pun oriented but often this is fairly subtle and or complex of course sometimes it is very blatant or transparent too it helps to look at batman returns as a more poetic film as i believe was the intention this also carries over into more general plot and directorial decisions plenty of odd character actions including from minor characters are done in service of a general mood or style and that style works very well br br dark is the way to sum up batman returns in a word and whether that's a positive or negative depends on your anyone who knows me knows that i love dark so for me style largely the flaws in the plot and the script in many ways batman returns is like an insane campy horror film with beautifully eerie production design like batman burton is still making many references to other films but instead of vertigo 1958 and star wars 1977 well there's still a slight star wars reference he films like including that max was the name of the actor who played the dracula like character there motel hell 1980 the aforementioned freaks willy and the chocolate factory 1971 which has a surreal dark edge to it and zombie films made most explicit in the final scene br br in terms of visuals and general atmosphere and that includes the general feel of the story the characters and so on this couldn't be a stronger 10,positive +compared to the acclaimed hollywood remake this film is less flashy but much stronger at providing an overall picture of the drug problem the remake loses the most interesting of the three plot threads that of a farmer whose depends on drugs as a paying cash crop and whose involvement with the drug trade in an effort to better himself destroys himself and his family additionally the story of the daughter's addiction goes into the problems not only of but the high of this original miniseries makes good use of the additional time to go into the issues more thoroughly and remains stronger meat on this controversial subject,positive +graphics is far from the best part of the game this is the number one best game in the series next to underground it deserves strong love it is an insane game there are massive levels massive characters it's just a massive game waste your money on this game this is the kind of money that is wasted properly and even though graphics suck thats doesn't make a game good actually the graphics were good at the time today the graphics are crap who cares as they say in canada this is the fun game you get to go to canada in well i don't know if they say that but they might who knows well canadian people do wait a minute i'm getting off topic this game rocks buy it play it enjoy it love it it's pure brilliance,positive +this movie is about the crew of a spaceship who crash land onto a strange bright planet with three among the passengers is convicted serial killer richard and his nemesis cole while the survivors of the wreck are getting their an of all three happens shortly afterwards scary creatures begin to appear and start to pick off the crew members one by one during the comes into his own as his have been giving him night vision the crew have to rely on him to try to get them to safety br br this is a very stylish film with the colour of the sky changing scene by scene giving it a very strange look is brilliant as truly menacing but forced to help people who otherwise would only see him as a threat there is also an underlying humour in his performance as well which adds another dimension to the character this is the sort of role that excels in the anti hero character is not as one dimensional as first appears i can imagine no one else in this role it could have been written specifically for him br br roll on chronicles of,positive +for awhile i was hooked on shows like ghost hunters and destination truth and stuff even though i thought they were full of crap i found them interesting and entertaining and that's why we watch entertainment tv it's fun to turn off your brain and believe that every shadow caught on camera is not just some shadow but some insane asylum tormented spirit or something so long as you can snap back to the real world later br br that being said enjoying state requires more than merely your brain off it requires you to lead in large doses on a regular basis during your childhood then suffer repeated head trauma then take up paint in your teens then you have to get high drunk and watch br br state is beyond the which i can enjoy with a degree of critical thinking that you'll find on ghost hunters which i still find to be reasonably interesting and entertaining program it's pseudo everything br br the show follows the adventures of a group of students from penn state university not to be confused with university of lead by ryan as they take it upon themselves to demons and spirits using from whatever religion seems most dramatic at the time ranging from catholic performed by college to spells cast by socially awkward to native american to their credit these are performed by native americans if you believe in or you're catholic or a of a traditional native american i think you'd want their performed by someone who isn't a college student with some free time i don't remember the scene in the exorcist where the priests threw up their hands and said it's no use call up an after school club from the state college this one is too much for us they've probably read the article on the show is frankly insulting to the intelligence to the viewer the show's opening title sequence has ryan talking about the research society saying that when he came to penn state notice you don't see any shows where the host says the same thing but instead of penn state he says when i came to or after i got my physics degree he found other people with similar interest in the he says they are sometimes warriors i remember when i used to pretend i was a warrior and i fought ghosts i was six then the ryan brings out the flamboyant and obnoxious chip who pretends to go into and become possessed by at the cast awesome i thought people had learned some sense about how ridiculous the idea of and is after crossing over went off the air the show takes itself way too seriously as this small group of societal pretends they are battling against some ancient evil production values are low stories are boring and unlike ghost hunters which will occasionally catch something although likely but interesting nonetheless on their equipment ps requires you to believe that the noises and that they hear are evidence of demons and possibly the only thing scary about this show is that there are people out there that take it seriously the only thing about it is that the people on it are able to make each episode while keeping a straight face br br call me jaded but i feel like the great mysteries of the universe and the are too great to be solved in a half hour tv show by a at a state school br br all that being said i highly recommend that everyone watch this show at least once if for no other reason than the sheer entertainment derived from watching a truly terrible movie or tv show or you can make a drinking game out of it i think the second would be,negative +so i turned on hbo which i just got thinking that it would have some quality movies and i saw this top is so unfunny it's nauseating to watch i've seen unfunny movies before but i think i find this one so impossible to watch because top seems to think he's hilarious watching this movie is really like watching a movie designed for 5 year olds with crazy over the top with ultra stupid jokes that only a 4 year old would appreciate br br what is amazing is how some other talented actors actually signed on for this project such as larry miller and m walsh if you've ever seen absolutely horrible commercials or whatever they were then this is more of the same just worse it's a slapstick fest that is a waste of a high budget that could have done something saved homeless people anything but this i'm not sure it's in the bottom 50 of all time but for the 10 million spent it's a disgrace,negative +i saw this one at sundance and i can't figure out why it won the directing award it was painfully slow and literally it's the type of movie that is only appreciated by film fest who think any movie that a lot of people like must be beneath them br br the jury at sundance this year seemed to be making a conscious effort to reward the underdog ultra low budget films that's all well and good but this wandering dragging mess looks like a home movie mini shot in a snow covered gray winter results in a drab look for a drab movie br br certain snakes are beaten to death in spite of the fact that they add nothing to the story and make no sense as symbols br br now it wasn't all bad vera is phenomenal in her role as a mother with a drug problem she will be going places and she deserves it her co star hugh dillon also does a fine job frankly there are many fine moments in this movie but they just don't fit together very well,negative +a child like for a public access children's show goes over the deep end when he discovers kids he entertains at a hospital were victims of horrible abuse this movie has some of the worst monstrous parents you could ever come across not an exploitation film as much as an special on the dangers of child abuse seemingly harmless mr takes matters into his own hands when it seems the police are by lack of evidence to convict parents of their terrible abuse towards their children the children are and zombie like due to the amount of abuse inflicted upon them the parents loud harsh and the mothers in particular are so obscene you'll root for their execution they are essentially miserable people taking out their on the kids our detectives are a tired lot frustrated with the whole process how police is often unable to those who beat their kids into while the crimes themselves are the film doesn't elaborate the grisly activity on screen i'd say the reason to see this is for tom performance as the man child who slips into there's quite a weird dinner table sequence between mr and his guardian shortly after he murdered the parents responsible for the death of their child regarding how he lives in a fantasy and how what he had just done has left an mark notice the changes in behavior pretty impressive work going from innocent to creepy peter is lt hayes the detective in charge of the cases expressing on his face the strain that is taking it's on him there's an early performance by john as detective always raising the of hayes because of his inability to follow directions not to mention how he is regarding the parents their kids awkward laid back score that seems for a film such as this controversial conclusion establishing that even kids can only tolerate so much a bit too slow moving for my tastes but there's an effective use i felt of eyes before he takes care of business waiting as he to strike,negative +three children are born at the exact same time during a just before their birthday they on a killing spree bloody birthday is a typical slasher from early 80's it's a pretty average stuff with plenty of nudity the evil children never generate any menace and there is almost no suspense there is also no gore or scares in bloody birthday but the film is mildly entertaining unfortunately no real explanation is provided for the kids sudden homicidal the murder scenes are quite gruesome for example we've got death by baseball bat skipping rope and so if you're a fan of early 80's slasher movies give this one a look,positive +hey look you don't watch this movie to change your life but if you are female especially and have always had a little thing for richard gere this movie is right up your street diane lane and richard gere have on screen chemistry going way back in is not a oscar winner movie and it will probably be forgotten sooner rather than later but if you want an atmospheric beautifully shot love story between middle aged good looking people they don't make your stomach turn and even when gere is he does not look too then this is the movie for you i loved the theme of the story and it was quite relevant in many ways of course the whole thing was presented in a superficial way over and not really dealt with i mean i would have liked to know more about the father son relationship between gere and james franco but the story was really about the idea that a great love can change you for the better whether it is a lover a child a friend etc the theme of the film is about love and its mysterious ways i was kind of surprised that james franco took such a small part in this film but he is always good even for a few minutes screen time i really liked this film because it was moving and sweet,positive +first off i never got into dr who until recently honestly i never got the opportunity to watch any of the previous pun intended since it was never big here in the us as it is everywhere else br br that said i must say obviously that after finishing the 2nd season that this is one of the best sci fi shows i've ever seen br br now i watch a lot of sci fi shows from all over and this show stands out br br the first season was tops to begin with with christopher in the title role and i thought he was terrific of course so was the lovely who just adds such humanity and warmth to the character of rose that no one could've done it better let's not forget as jackie and clarke as mickey ricky who are just a blast to watch then there's david at first i thought he was too looking to play the character his ears but after watching the 2nd season he fits in just fine his sharp acting and physical comedy is almost flawless he's great with snappy dialog and can turn serious without an eye br br aside from the great acting from the cast is the acting from most of the guest actors that have appeared a lot of them are veteran actors but some are new to me and are damn fine br br the production and direction of the show is top notch occasionally be some cheesy effects here and there but that's always been a factor in the original series and like those episodes is br br my favorite thing of all about the series the stories writing folks is always the key to great entertainment russell t davies has written many of the episodes along with a few other writers and they have done an excellent job they've managed to bring excitement intelligence and fun with clever concepts and great dialog i also appreciate the fact that they can the older past story lines and enemies well my friend explains much of this to me while we watch the show and br br i won't mention anything about the 2nd season and how it ends since the sci fi channel just started airing the 2nd season br br i wouldn't want to spoil it it's so much fun and excitement you'll never want to take your eyes away nor miss a word of dialog br br it really is that good br br ps thanks to the producers for nicholas back,positive +yes it takes a norwegian to ruin and slaughter two great books and a concept that would work well on film this film truly is the worst swedish film of all time i hated it so badly that i even considered walking out on it something i have never done but it was so awful i was almost compelling i just had to sit through to the end much like some early 80's stallone action reel this one really takes swedish action back to the stone age so full of logical errors and stupid mistakes it is almost amusing but who could ever see anything good in the terrible acting mark surviving a mine field or the dumb ass useless and irrational action br br let me ask you aren't we through with down to zero the hero escaping in the nick of time and two friends become enemies by the end stupid br br and one more thing the product placement in this film is unbelievable while other countries have understood that it shouldn't be so obvious the swedish film industry apparently hasn't understood at all just look at the credit card hamilton uses to open a window or or or this film really makes me mad,negative +coach preachy or straight sappy it's bad writing combined w even worse acting you can choose to drink the of this after school special but i didn't not even on it's 20th toby robbins philosophy moment it's too much to be entertaining and not enough to be informative i have respect for the coach and the program this movie is inspired by but the move itself is awful as someone who has played for nearly 20 years in the states i had hoped for a better movie even one that has something loosely to do with and i can tell you that the performed by a bunch of and is not much like when it's performed today by the all blacks seriously boys everyone has seen it it's time to put it away if you want real line up across from a bunch of south the real eye of this is a fake and badly done movie about being a genuine and good person,negative +i watched the version of this movie and as a person who has studied the life and crimes of closely i must say this movie is a flawed but ambitious take on the real story while capturing the true horror of and the murders this film makes the following factual errors 1 did not drugs at the crime scene as depicted in the movie in fact he was mainly an alcoholic and who rarely took drugs via 2 the asian nurse who survived massacre did not her way down stairs and under the couch in the living room as depicted in the movie this would have been impossible in real life she under a bed while eliminated his 8 victims 3 the movie depicts as being violent and brutal with the women as soon as he meets them not true in reality was at first calm and gentle the women he wasn't going to hurt them this is how he was able to tie each of them up 4 the real richard was not the deep the movie depicts him to be fbi robert interviewed in the 80's and said that not only know why he committed the murders but that he wasn't interested in learning why nor could he shed any light on why was known to be of below average intelligence and not the king who this movie if the story wasn't so tragic and horrifying the voice over would be laughable all in all doug performance is adequately menacing and cold blooded even though i don't think the real was so forward in his violence no doubt he was a very violent person when under the influence but he was also known after all for being a fairly slick con man who was able to put people at ease before them beverly ann performance as the surviving nurse is the finest in the film she is a very good actress if you are at all do not see this film it's very graphic and disturbing,negative +the movie begins almost slowly a romance yawn that seems to off course all part of the plan then roughly one hour into this movie is the feast it's worth paying attention to that first hour the feast is still but humorous suddenly the and slightly petty characters come to life and everyone you and the characters leave feeling by the experience br br women will love this christians of all sorts will enjoy the profound faith demonstrated by the characters not my favorite movie of all time no dinosaurs or laser after all but definitely a movie i am happy to have seen not to be missed br br jim,positive +this movie could be a bit boring for some people but i find this film br br very interesting in terms of an attempt to reveal a tradition br br the director has made two films about traditional music in korea before this film the film before this one was showing the music throughout the film and this film is trying to achieve similar things by having backgrounds in the movie just like a painting br br another thing is that the story is written by both director and a kim who is well known in korea holding a lot of degrees including doctor at i'm not saying that educated people make better films but that is an expert in traditional culture in korea so it gives more credit on this film,positive +2001 wasn't perhaps eric roberts best year both and this came out watched a while ago and really thought it sucked and being worst but that had it´s share moment of fun and d standard this one doesn't have a thing br br tommy lee thomas is the name of the probably worst actor in these days the story lacks any punch and the whole thing feels even slower than a breaking in br br the two thing that stands out are martin and eric roberts you could argue about their effort being good or what but compared to the rest they are above all criticism br br i say thank you roberts see you next time and hopefully a better one,negative +i first saw this film two years ago in the cinema and fell in love with this dark tale of two brooding teenage sisters at home in their large country house with their father and step mother their relationship with their step mother is strained to say the least with the step mother appearing to be increasingly becoming unstable in her battles with the younger girls the film though with oriental style ghost effects and horror which adds a strange and unsettling aspect to the story that on first viewing is not clear but is all the more intriguing br br the direction is incredibly good and the acting is stunning with the step mother in particular incredibly good swinging from one mood style to another in the film the large house adds and there are enough points in the film where you will jump out of your seat this film to me clearly shows why korean cinema is possibly the best most original in the world at the moment you simply don't get anything like this in the western world sadly and really i can see it being influential on film makers around the world in the next decade br br highly recommended viewing in my opinion a real joy and scare,positive +brilliant ranks along with citizen kane the matrix and must see at least for in her early days watch it,positive +'the mill on the was one of the lesser novels by mary ann evans who wrote under the male george i tried to read this dull and very turgid novel years ago but was unable to finish it i'll review this film version solely on its own merits as i don't know how it follows the original novel br br the film's opening credits are in an old english that suggests the period and so it's a very poor choice for a film with a 19th century setting on the other hand about halfway into the film we see a close up shot of a advertising an estate this is set in authentic victorian type and looks very convincing most of this film is extremely convincing in its depiction of the architecture and clothing of early 19th century england the precise location of this film's story is never but judging by the actors' accents i'd place it as somewhere in the perhaps br br the plot what there is of it involves a mill that changes hands a couple of times over a couple of decades between two rival families one wealthy and one working class i disagree with another imdb reviewer who claims that james mason has only a small role in this film mason has the largest and most central role in this drama as the of the family as the and tom mason is darkly brooding and his performance here belongs in a better film it made me want to see with mason as br br as this is a multi saga something which george did much better in several of the main roles in this film are split among two actors child actors in the prologue adults in the main narrative the prologue of this film features a very well written scene establishing tom as and bully from an early age and young philip as decent and thoughtful through hard philip has earned a tom tries to bully it away from him but is unwilling to take the by force he wants philip to give it to him all the child actors in this movie male and female are talented and attractive unfortunately all of the children speak their dialogue in posh voiced accents that are utterly unlike the accents of the actors and actresses who play those same roles as adults this calls attention to the of the material none of the later scenes are as good as this prologue br br the climax features a crowd of in a much better paced and photographed than the earlier scenes but modern viewers in britain at least can no longer take this sort of material seriously by now practically every british comedian has done a trouble at mill comedy routine precisely this subject matter so i had difficulty watching this movie with a straight face br br the character actress hunt is good in a small role but the opening credits in that old english her as i'll rate this dull movie 3 points out of 10 one point for james performance the early scene with the children and the authentic victorian in that,negative +forget all those people who tell you it's not as good as the book so what this is a film after all it is a sheer joy to watch made entirely on location in gorgeous photography but with dark disturbing moments as well the only problem i have is with the obvious of nicolas cage as captain apart from that the film was a very pleasant surprise,positive +what some hollywood movies try and practically never succeed creating somehow connections between persons without becoming unrealistic manages this beautiful movie perfectly well resembling in that way a little to the wonderful double de of the same director and with the same beautiful actress this is a real movie that changes perspective of life a little bit intelligent and beautiful story masterfully directed excellent main actors masterful cinematography i've just seen the movie the 3rd or 4th time and i still think it's one of the best i've ever seen and if you should be unhappy with the ending of puts an happy end to the whole trilogy,positive +this is a poor caricature of and larry br br i love your books with among the top three i have admired the way you view yourself through your characters with such honesty balanced by never taking it all too seriously i am therefore spoiled br br why have you come to this br br moon is not up to your standards i see that you are credited with the screen writing but this is so unlike you i prefer to think it is written by someone else br br the dialogue makes me claustrophobic wishing someone would break out with a naturally stated sentence the part about was was because of the inane words coming out of his mouth br br well i miss call too br br the most important missing factors are gus and call and the men they are their matter of fact courage the underlying vein comprised of and honesty their lack of self hard men leading hard lives with a certain grace br br some blame has to to the direction here and throughout all of the cast needed and dialogue br br while i try to imagine robert duvall as speaking this same dialogue it comes off better but not much it tries to sound cowboy of few words shy sly grin witty but doesn't half succeed br br how can it be so different from can the writer have forgotten his characters you have fooled some of the people mr but not this one,negative +i do not think that this movie deserves the low rating that most will give it it's one of the best teenager horror films i've ever seen and that's saying a lot nothing is left without an explanation to back it up the characters and plot break countless horror movie stereotypes and it has got nothing to do with some other horrible pieces we've been to lately a clear example is the mindless saint the first 30 40 minutes might be downright boring with the exception of the beginning although some minor light mistakes can be easily spotted after the arrival to the village though the horror a different twisted kind of horror begins br br with the plot and the details goofs are minor the characters are this movie's strongest point given that so many clichés are broken in it for example the two main male characters nick and are not by any means the idiotic types we're used to although dalton might fit better in this stereotype not is he the only one to pay for this lack of consciousness some scenes are truly horrible making up for tense moments scattered around all the film and in the end and although everything is explained it's easy to see that things won't go so easy to the surviving characters br br the only errors i can see and which do not imply continuity ie not finding her own cut finger in the unconscious is the which is somehow annoying during the first boring 30 minutes although plot and effects wise everything is drastically and twisted with the arrival of the main characters to that little village in the midst of nothing so i'll give it that it's been pretty much that about 70 of the movie is illogical how can two people build an entire house of wax where do they get all the wax from these wouldn't be questions if people would have paid more attention to the movie the brothers did not build the house of wax their mother worked making actual wax figures and they were at the museum and the scenario where paris unfortunate character meets her death is the answer to the second question what is with all the personal objects mobile phones cars clothes of the dead people using their third brother as a connection with the exterior it's pretty much that the twins should obtain the money necessary to buy the wax in a wwii type fashion br br so that aside i think the movie deserves a lot more than it gets and nobody should lose the chance to watch it so go see the house of wax right now,positive +if you thought rosemary's baby was bad this one isn't much better easily one of the worst movies ever made like it's lame predecessor it goes nowhere fast br br rating 1 2 out of,negative +not sure if this is just a lousy movie or if it was intended to be a mockery of a b western story line was so so but the filming editing and acting were just plain bad plus the music in the background was irritating to no end too loud and just non stop many times you could not make out the dialog over the background music i'm in single action shooting society and do some old west shooting with them and a lot of the actors are members of this group so that's why i bought it if you have no interest in this group of people or that sport you certainly most likely wouldn't even have this little bit of interest to help out with the film the acting of even the veteran actors particularly stella stevens left a lot to be desired also,negative +in one of the more under seen films of the late 1980's at a time when oliver stone was riding high with platoon and wall street and before his born on the fourth of july he co scripted and directed this look at the world of radio specifically one radio host in the middle of texas this man is barry in a once in a career turn from eric who wrote the original play and also co wrote the script barry is like a mix of howard stern and one of those you hear on the radio stations many of us might turn off he's got ideas on his mind opinions and he's not only un afraid to speak them but also to stand up against the phone the indeed are the driving force in the film as barry has to combat against the mindless the obscene the racist and the purely absent minded as this goes on he also has to with his boss alec baldwin and a hit or miss deal to go outside the confines of the southern way station he's in br br while after seeing the film i felt curious as to see how it would've been done on stage i'd imagine it was a one man show as has had several on the side the direction of the film is phenomenal stone has been known almost as a director who loves quick cuts the effects of montage and effects with the styles of camera work and other little tricks that give his films in the 90's a distinctive almost auteur look but in the 80's he had this energy and quality to the look of the film and wasn't as as the other films in order to add the proper intensity that is within the studio and head space of barry he and robert richardson make the space seem claustrophobic at times gritty un sure and definitely on edge the scenes in the middle of the film when barry isn't in the studio are fairly standard but the style along with the substance in the radio scenes is among the best i've seen from the stone richardson combination br br and one cannot the performance of who can be obnoxious offensive passive and everything that we love and hate in radio show there is also a funny near distracting supporting role for michael as kent michael joe who prank calls him one night and the next gets invited to the studio these scenes are a little uncomfortable for a viewer but it does get very much into the head space of the 80's that barry is as intrigued as he is critical of the may not but as he says to him it's your show indeed it's hard to cover everything that goes on within the talk and there is a lot of it but it's never boring and like himself it's not easy to ignore and when goes into his climactic on air with the background around in a continuous spin it becomes and a reason why freedom of speech is so powerful br br stone has been as a filmmaker of hot button issues who takes on subjects that were or still are controversial and gives them a life force that isn't always great but is all his own here his skills and ambitions don't get in the way of it's if anything making an extremely skilled vision of what is essentially a near one man show which in and of itself is already well written,positive +seriously i really get why people here are bashing it i mean br br the idea of a killer snowman havoc on a island paradise is pretty absurd the good news is the producers realized it and made it a comedy in the vein of army of darkness br br especially in the second half of the film when the little killer attack i laughed my ass off for example the put one of the little creeps into a a la 1 and mix it after that it back into a and with a high pitched voice that was fun br br bottom line incredible movie rent it,positive +rachel and chuck valerie decided the city is too busy and dangerous for their family so they packed up their reluctant son gregory and daughter lauren and moved back to a lake like the one rachel lived at as a child br br they say you can not go home again but this is an ideal rural home with what at first seems like a feel later the seems to be more like the people in deliverance soon bodies start turning up and everybody looks suspect with the exception of a few friendly faces this does not keep the family from enjoying running around and messing around in the woods br br we find that they have to be super ignorant to find the secrets and not tell anyone until they get as the br br can the ignored young save his parents or will their s put his her foot in it br br this film is more than most parodies as it was played with faces they could not have chosen better actors and anderson was exceptionally creepy an added plus is that they let us know what is happening before the characters find out instead of pulling a clue out of the hat after the fact anyway this made for tv movie is good for a few laughs,positive +this film is about a mysterious love letter that turned 4 people's love life upside down br br the idea of the film is interesting and the film could have been funny however this film is simply what a romantic comedy should not be the characters are introduced at first so it gets so confusing the supporting characters come and go without adequate reasons as if they exist just for one particular scene and then into thin air the pacing is awfully slow that it makes 90 minutes seem more like minutes br br it could have been romantic and funny but this film spectacularly failed to do either,negative +i have seen many movies over the years and i am a big fan of comedies br br but this so called comedy almost reduced me to tears it is without a doubt the worst movie i have ever witnessed the worst br br i remember hearing about this movie from a friend and decided to view it if i could i could turn back time i would i will regret for as long as i live the time i wasted watching this rubbish br br the storyline is so insane it just makes no sense at all and leaves you confused there is a scottish mob and a german who are after vargas john the scottish mob after 50 000 dollars and the germans after his head br br in trying to escape the takes the form of many but in doing this we witness some of the most annoying worst mind numbing acting dialogue and sounds in cinema history this movie annoyed me so much by the end i was full of i was so angry that i had wasted so much time watching a movie that would surely drive depressed people to almost certain suicide i mean how can there be hope when a movie like this can be given to be made br br i know people have their own opinions but the most shocking thing about the is that people actually like it why what is funny about a man that is annoying from the very first second to the last a man who cannot act who has an annoying voice and confusing face br br i sat through it thinking the movie would get better surely it would it did not usually you want the good guy to survive but i wanted the germans or the scottish mob to find and kill the anything to put me out of my misery there is nothing funny interesting or normal that happens in this movie its just plain annoying and confusing the jokes are dead even before they are told i feel sorry for the who have no say in how the movie is made but actually have to film this drivel i wouldn't be surprised if they are receiving br br if you want to remain sane and part of society my advice is to never watch this movie i'd rather lock myself in my room for 5 weeks and go without food and water than watch this movie again br br i don't think i'll ever hate anything more than this,negative +what starts off fairly well and quite disturbing quickly sinks into an annoying mess br br dee of twisted sister apparently penned the screenplay from his own idea and while the idea of a stalking pierce freak has potential they really blow it here on uneven pacing bad dialogue and one of the greatest non endings you'll ever see despite some lifeless performances the director manages a genuinely creepy first reel this really looks like it's going to be a good low budget effort br br no such luck the plot goes all over the map and character relentlessly out tiresome psychotic fortune cookie lines that are supposed to pass for meaningful dialogue worse the supporting cast barely and the only halfway believable dialogue comes from a young girl who helps a detective the internet br br what a waste of a great idea oh and there is a new twisted sister song if you care,negative +a group of friends break down in the middle of nowhere one had a flat tire the other's mysteriously won't start one of them takes the tire to a run down service station and that is the last anyone sees of him when the remaining go in search of their friend they come across nice mr who offers to help fix the and offers cool drinks and from the heat in his equally run down like house which happens to be occupied by very realistic looking he goes with the one guy in the bunch out to work on the car and leaves the 3 girls in the house before he goes he warns them not to leave and go up to the house behind his shack he warns them about his brother who is lurking about and isn't all there of course one of them decides to venture out in search of a working phone and is never seen again is it is it the tourist trap has the usual horror big girl two shoes girl curiosity getting the better of people and never working out but it stands apart from the rest of the 70's genre in it's twist of an ending i started to feel sorry for chuck is a terrific creepy over the top performance at a point in the film and you almost see the character of molly doing the same this is a gem if you can find it i had taped it off of cable when i was younger and walking through a used video store i spotted a vhs copy that was totally but well worth it fans of roberts won't be disappointed either best part of the film for me was the scene with the soup and br br i gave it a 7 because some of the movie was and still is hard to explain,positive +i find myself that people are not so critical of a work that deserves criticism the many similarities both and literally with aside the deliberately chooses the easy path by putting audience before art and therefore denying the world a intelligent and creative work br br now consider the following is it not possible that the real story of the creation of the may actually be an engaging and powerful story itself and equally so in a dramatic telling was completely deaf by the writing of the – isn't that more interesting how was the wouldn't it be great to know so ask yourself what possible motivation could a filmmaker have for introducing a woman as the if there was a he would certainly be a man what was his story please try to be a little critical here even if you like the invention of a woman composer br br fantasy should be much more than a of reality to serve a writers purpose for those who find themselves comparing and the invention of anna with the invention of claim to have murdered in consider that he to a priest in a lunatic asylum uses this device to great affect in the film may have worked if anna was a of imagination but we are meant to believe she is yes and that was by aliens br br most of the positive reviews i've read here so far are often expressions of a desire for the film to be good almost a deliberate remembering the film for what you wish it to be rather than what it is br br for those who believe that fantasy the means then consider you are not only accepting an inferior interpretation of real events but also the truth for the sake of a br br finally a short note on the acting here that may surprise some of you ed harris is not good as van does that shock you he looks awkward throughout the film much like an actor dressed up but off set and standing at the table most of his lines are said as rather than replies to anna lines i e he is not listening to the actor he is quite clearly an actor as the character rather than being the character br br really how many times does have to roll in his grave before we get it right just ask yourself would,negative +some aliens off on a distant ship from a distant planet have sent the giant robot to rob the world of its energy they've got a prototype around mexico for and if he proves successful more will be sent it would certainly take a lot of time for just this one to perform that task br br for reasons i can't explain the aliens first capture the mind of leading scientist john who directs to his first targets since is killed off later and the monster seems to function well enough without as a why the aliens needed him in the first place is a bit bizarre br br in any event scientists jeff barbara lawrence and george who work under aren't fooled a bit about his nature and of course they come up with a plan to deal with the raging metal giant br br is a perfect film for the fifties the bad guys are never seen they're just out there looking to mankind it's a perfect film for the cold war and jeff us we'll be ready for them in the future br br the players look like they're having a grand old time as many clichéd lines the writers could put in the script i get the impression that is the kind of film ed wood might have done on a bigger budget with a bit more care,negative +personally i've watched it because of appearance and i didn't really expect to enjoy the movie as such but surprisingly i kept watching it until the end br br let's face it it just one of the saga like stories and isn't particularly original or entertaining but strangely it just keeps you by the tv my opinion about will of their own would be much better if there wouldn't be one point that i just don't get br br there is lovely and really scene in which character is running on the street holding baby in her arms the snow is falling she is cold scared and has no place to stay she doesn't know what to do next and then about 10 12 years later when things are better for her she just leaves the same kid without any warning to take up the career she was dreaming about br br i just don't get it i don't see how is it possible that she would do such thing it was the opposite action to all that she done so far in her life when all that she was doing was aimed on that child survival after this character flip i just couldn't enjoy rest of the movie,negative +this is the first film i've watched from the italian ed wood aka miles the above title was added later on since there exists another similarly titled movie starring richard which was hammer michael one and only stab at the western the genuine italian title was originally translated as his name was sam but they called him it was actually in the italian which of course implies a tribute of sorts to hollywood actor eli br br while certainly not bad instances of and abound so that i was often cracking up into of laughter a horrid number by a would be irresistible french a totally irrelevant bar room actors doing when being shot an aged doing an dance routine use indeed abuse of slow motion and easily the most preposterous seeing gordon mitchell and lincoln play two sporting the actors' own names hired by the villain to kill off the title character and then never having them appear in the rest of the film at all br br lead actor robert woods is just that even down to the over the bodies of his victims supporting actress actually the director's own daughter as the broad is quite a but unfortunately she doesn't get to do much in the film – despite having a change of heart towards the end the main musical theme is actually pretty good but again the title song is in itself quite lousy,negative +this is possibly the worst film i have ever seen what a weak waste of michael obvious talent disgusting film from start to finish all i can say is this director is no you never once get inside the game the character's head the amazing talent with numbers the real had the coke scene is bad enough to throw your shoe at the set it might have been a great scene had it been shot for movies and not the stage with the camera half way across the house over a mirror with drugs on it while the drama is going on far in the background the scene where he wins the big championship is just laugh out loud ridiculous this should be screened in film making 101 what not to do in making pictures,negative +surely one of the shows ever to be produced on these and thats saying something even many of the lead actors didn't stick around for the duration the fact that it ran for eight years is a sad on the average intelligence and cultural of the aussie viewer it went round and round in circles with repetitive gags and poorly drawn characters arthur macarthur for god's sake did they actually pay the writers of this show i wonder if anyone checked their there were tired gags about rural people and second rate farce situations that were poor of a thousand english and us sitcoms that had gone before i think that's what i hate about it so much that it appears no one involved wanted to make it memorable original or clever instead for the lowest common each time,negative

recent movies i signed up for it being a writer and night owl by nature i soon discovered the channel was showing movies late at night and until the wee hours of the morning i'd never even heard of most of them american independent films and foreign films that had never been given a u s theatrical release many of them had recognizable star casts and respectable directors and thanks to showtime i discovered many first rate films i and other showtime would never else have had the opportunity to see most of these cinematic were indeed dogs but often so bad they were unintentionally hilarious one night showtime a little italian made gem called redneck filmed in 1972 given a limited european release in 1973 even though the movie had never been released in the u s the mpaa rating was listed as an since the director was one the director who made his name with the glorious girl and the three leads were mark oliver lester and telly i decided to give it a try and found myself nailed to my tv screen in disbelief for minutes as i recall and played two criminals the former a raging maniac who in one stomach scene casually sent a german family to their deaths by their trailer off a cliff thereby to the wilderness depths below so far so bad then out of nowhere as the nice psycho and lester all of 14 when the movie was made are seen both nude in a men's room at the kid's body while and poor confused lester on close ups of naked butt as a not yet jaded member of the movie industry and a card carrying liberal i was as much against censorship then as i am today the entire movie made me and being the early '70s when i seen everything in the anything goes movies of that era including the uncut version of altman's that cold day in the park a real jaw until it was for an rating and would have spelled the end for altman's career had he not next come up with something called m a s h i still wonder if anyone else except me ever saw redneck and was appalled as i was the actors and movie going audiences is joy filmmakers have been in since the beginning of time but a highly respected and talented child actor mr lester at a time when he was beginning to make the difficult from child to adult actor and i'm sure his film offers had thereby to junk like redneck mr you should be hanging your head in shame incidentally i was soon to make friends with actors who had appeared in future efforts they both him surprise,negative +the and thus second to last short of the ones this is the only one quite like this this takes two of the main types of filmed entertainment of the matrix and combines them unbelievably well this is immensely faithful to the trilogy in that aspect the tone the animation is a gorgeous breathtaking the style which is in this is noir the plot is fitting and the story telling as well as the music is spot on the sound in general is fantastic and really helps the mood and atmosphere along with the drawings and designs the voice acting is impeccable this is one of only two where people also in the movies their roles and both have anne moss who is the only of them appearing in this this is one of the best of the nine and also one of my personal favorites this is about ten minutes long the pacing is perfect it never slows down terribly much but it's not overwhelming either the ending could not have been more appropriate for this this shares a nine and a half minutes long making of with kid's story and it's well done and informative i recommend this to any fan of the universe and the two genres that this is made up of 8 10,positive +normally i would applaud a movie that tries to do something different or original in a genre it is obvious that this movie is some sort of parody on ninja movies and i really did my best to enjoy the movie but i just couldn't the jokes aren't funny enough i've seen my share of japanese movies and most of the times i like and understand the humor used in those movies red shadow is just silly the characters that are portrayed in this movie know that this isn't a serious movie and show that all is about the fun look at the characters from parodies like hot shots or scary movie everything they do on the screen is done with a straight face and never fall out of character and because of this certain scenes become funny and hilarious in red shadow the actors never achieve that the shadow supposed to be very skilled and deadly sadly the actors don't do their best in convincing us of their talents they don't do things with a straight face the jokes would have worked better if they did the bad choreography of the action scenes also damaged the viewing experience for me i like humor in martial arts movies as long as the action is good red shadow just fails in that department so what is left to be enjoyed well the music was uplifting it had to be as the action it self never is exciting and there are some short dramatic scenes that are good but simple the use of humor lack of story and depth make me think that this movie is meant for children but i do wonder if children actually would like this movie waste of time,negative +broadcast news james l brooks 1987 br br br br although it lacks the emotional punch of debut feature terms of broadcast news is a film with exceptional performances from each of the three leads and a script that feels as genuine and well as a hard hitting news report let it be known this is a character film first and foremost and a satire second in my mind it succeeds on both levels on its own terms the film's characters are given surprising depth and dimension while the satire remains sly and never bitter comparisons to network are unnecessary because the films have two completely separate goals and attitudes while also a great film network is a cynical and weary work in other words its mad as hell and fed up with the state of television style of satire feels more extreme and in contrast the characters the news rooms of broadcast news love and live for their jobs sometimes to the of their love lives they pleasure from the and of news just as the audience pleasure from watching this sweet and realistic masterpiece,positive +i don't know whether this film hits my heart the way it does because of the feelings of friendship love to others or the warmth of that transformation cooking creates but when the feast starts and for the rest of the movie i choke up often br br yes this is a feel good movie but without a of or sentimentality please note that elements of the plot are discussed feast tells its story with restraint and care and it lets us discover for ourselves the values of grace and love all we need to know is that was a french who was given shelter by two aging sisters in a tiny community on the coast of the sisters lead what remains of their father's flock he was a of conviction who taught that salvation comes through self denial the sisters made their sacrifices to duty and faith those who still remain honor the now long dead and his spiritual still as they have grown older the tiny community has become and the sisters do what they can for the birthday wishes to cook the dinner for the small group the sisters will invite the sisters reluctantly agree but when they see the supplies has ordered they and their guests become uneasy they are used to the usual fare of boiled and a soup made of bread water and a little even though over time has made what they are seeing now seems close to at the dinner also will be a visitor general who years earlier had chosen ambition over his love for one of the sisters br br what do we experience there is the of the aging faith and the stone wind swept they live in there is the warmth by of the small crowded room and then there is the power of artistry as we watch her cook watch a young boy helping her serve and pour and watch the old with the help of fine wine and exquisite cooking gradually their community and love and friendship the general serves as our unexpected guide because he is the only one who knows what extraordinary they are eating the general tells a story to his dinner companions a story about a famed woman who was the chef at the famed in paris this woman this head chef had the ability to a dinner into a kind of love affair a love affair that made no distinction between and spiritual he too is being transformed into a man who will accept what he has become and yet will always know the value and the love of what long ago he chose not to accept an old couple kiss two old men remember past friendships and who spent all that she had won in a on this dinner has had an opportunity to be the artist she once was in france an opportunity she accepted with love and friendship br br now as poor as she was when she arrived years earlier will continue with the sisters the general in a with his aunt returns to her estate and the elderly guests leave the home to return to their own they pause and look at the clear night sky and the stars they hold hands in a circle and dance and sing this br br the clock strikes and time goes by eternity is let us use this time to try to serve the lord with heart and mind so that our true home we shall find so that our true home we shall find br br they smile at each other all has been br br feast is a wonderful movie full of restrained emotion wisdom and of course a meal that will leave you with a stomach as you exit the theater if you win a so you could afford what created and have her skill and artistry here's what she served br br a la a rich turtle soup served with small with sour cream and served with en with stuffed with and in with with served with de a fine cheese and fresh fruit with fruit and fresh coffee and a fine,positive +a bad bad movie terrible plot on but he speaks maybe 20 words in the entire movie and only has one fight scene still in great shape considering he was also in the kung fu classic enter the dragon interesting to see william johnny from the karate kid in another martial arts role,negative +i'm really surprised seeing all these positive reviews for this movie don't get me wrong it's not that i don't like kind of br br while i very well can enjoy a good mindless hollywood action blockbuster like die hard 4 0 i like the kind of movies or life as it movies just as much if they are well made br br a good example is 1998 no music no dramatic camera angles no special fx no fancy locations just a good story combined with excellent acting and the result is an excellent movie br br is nine lives devoid of dramatic camera angles special fx and fancy locations yes is it a good movie i'm glad you asked br br the answer is absolutely not br br first of all everyone is raving about the acting performances i'm terribly sorry but you can act all you want but if the story and the dialogue is not believable the acting falls on its behind immediately and that is exactly the case with nine lives br br not once did i have the feeling while watching that i was watching real people having a real conversation i had the feeling i was watching actors trying to come across as characters' while they were were saying things a would never say under the circumstances br br you can hardly call it a spoiler but there are some dialogue below if you think that reading ten lines of ridiculous dialogue will ruin your movie experience stop reading here if you want a good laugh continue reading br br the dialogue was often so ridiculous that it was you want examples plenty of those in br br br br picture this couple visits their filthy rich friends in their new mansion woman sees this castle of a house and says to her husband br br woman i could get used to this meaning the expensive house man don't woman why not it could be man no they are who they are and we are who we are woman i like the sound of that we are who we are br br she likes the sound of that her man is acting like a jerk but she likes the sound of that then an elderly couple walks past them holding hands this is what the woman comes up with br br woman look they are like children after school they lived through so much shared everything i love you br br they are like children after school and then the most cliché lines you ever heard finishing with 'i love she says this while her man is being a jerk to her yes very logical very realistic not if anything this kind of dialogue made me wanna some of the characters in the movie for saying these horrible horrible things br br example 2 br br elderly mom dad and younger daughter at a funeral dad i didn't realize andrew was religious mom it's for comfort daughter it's for strength mom life is fleeting dad and daughter burst out laughing br br yeah this one liner cracks me up any time especially at a funeral sorry i must have missed the joke here br br and it goes on and on and on br br how about the camera work don't even go there would be a compliment it supposed to come across as instead you miss half of the actors facial expressions the only thing left to watch in this movie while half the time the camera is aimed at someone's back or side instead of the face br br conclusion well don't say i didn't warn you it's a good movie to rent if you want to make out with your date or something during the movie because you won't even care whether the movie is playing or not after the first five minutes br br overrated and more boring than watching grass grow kinda sums it up,negative +margaret mitchell in her grave every time somebody watches this mess fine and sets can't even begin to lackluster performances by as the title character and the ever bland timothy dalton as even worse than the acting and perhaps partially explaining it is the script which is cliched and predictable add to that bad script a score that'll have you cringing and you've got a disaster i wouldn't wish on any viewer scarlett is just amazingly lousy and i can't imagine how it ever got made much less made it to video,negative +something i think some people miss about great science fiction is that it some part of the future no other theatrical movie that i can recall predicted that when the space went to study that a disaster would occur some differences were the the in the movie actually went to the the was only in low earth the was merely burned out inside whereas the hey the vampires had to get back to earth one great similarity and this is always bad luck both had mixed male female the legend of and disaster continues br br other than this there is not much more to be said about this movie that hasn't been said before as a outer space science fiction horror sex film it provided nothing really new but as in all great it is the combination that counts and taken together this was a highly original and satisfying combination br br i just wish may would drain her victims through another part of the body,positive +the is the best film i have seen in years the acting was fantastic especially who was truly remarkable in the role of peggy lester she brought peggy to life with incredible skill and made her as real as my own next door neighbor i also enjoyed robertson dean in the role of the father he is a true professional and managed to pull off even the most intimate scenes with a rare grace the performances by the entire cast were very good excellent in fact but role as played by made the movie the cinematography was beautifully done throughout and was most impressive the only criticism i have to offer is a slight weakness of the ending scenes which were overly drawn out repetitive and a bit too focused on the wrong character i would have liked to see it end on a note of forgiveness but spite of that slight flaw it is very much worth the watching and applause for all involved in the making of it,positive +this movie would receive a much higher vote from me in general and i will talk about why but first and foremost it receives four stars and should stay at four stars because of the directors ridiculously tasteless portrayal of rape and sexual assault not far into the movie sexually a woman he rescued earlier and while she briefly becomes somewhat by his actions this attitude only lasts about five minutes before loving sets in and carries her character through the rest of the film i know many will argue that it's not that important in a kung fu beat em up and as a fan of the i can't say that it's all that unusual but that doesn't stop it from being completely tasteless every time i see it br br what i will say in this movie's however is that it's somewhat refreshing to see a martial arts or even action movie of any sort that offers no actual hero for the viewer to get behind is portrayed as a rapist and murderer a societal whose only student becomes completely mentally before being down by the police the final shots of the movie leave one with the feeling that himself is for a major breakdown and no longer seems to care for the woman he earlier into loving him and has since followed him with puppy dog like devotion br br whether this was truly the intended message of the movie or not one can't help but feel a little hopeful that might be on the brink of suicide by the time the movie is over this is a rare emotional treatment from the martial arts genre and its interesting to see a film that leaves you with a sense that its violence is not to be celebrated if only karate had treated the subject of sexual violence better either by creating more emotional depth and recognition between the two characters involved or by leaving it out all together this would have been a much more interesting film,negative +simon remake of the 1979 horror classic is a pathetic attempt to bring old school thrills to a contemporary audience starring talented teen belle when a calls fails to even a shocked or even surprised face poor attempts at the audience range from that look like people to building the tense music up for a cat running out of the shadows the plot follows jill johnson belle a teenage girl that has to pay off a bill to her father via she is invited to work for the night at a house by the river and thinks it a perfectly easy way to make cash but little does she know a stranger in the house and constantly johnson via the phone a pathetic excuse for a film,negative +with a little dressing up this movie could be served for dinner not only is is boring implausible historically inaccurate and poorly directed the best actors were the bit players mainly because they had so few lines to say a waste of time even for war fanatics,negative +i don't get it i just don't get it barney and friends has been by millions through the years and i will admit i was one of those any child who watches this show doesn't realize that what they're watching is just a piece of trash barney is very annoying and very selfish add baby and it gets even worse add b j then you have a very creepy television nightmare then you get the children they're old enough to know what barney is trying to teach them what are they doing there in the first place it would be funny if barney and his friends appeared on the jerry springer show that would certainly be one of the moments in television history even more significant is that this show marked the beginning of the end of public television as we knew it as we have seen less and less of the more and interesting public television programs that aired in the 1970s and the 1980s what a big difference a selfish son of a gun makes when this show leaves a big sigh of relief will be felt among millions of people but a huge will have been made in the of television history a message to barney himself you may not realize it but your days are br br in a nutshell there are other choices better choices,negative +how many know about this lets keep it that way i wonder at least some new dialogues can be made or not the movie is a real poor copy of the original bruce willis probably did this movie while he was half asleep the way he looks at richard face with his cold blooded stare when they meet near the oh my god scared the hell out of me why does he kill major and her mates isn't still clear to me another thing that i could not understand was the poison solution that he put on the car what in the world was it br br the movie plot is and climax is dull another funny thing was how the russian was killed in the club i fell off my chair laughing when i saw that scene also what was that thing about the gay guy what purpose was it serving i think the movie is made too swift to be easily understood you have to really think what the hell was on director's mind lol br br and the best scene after all was richard gere trying to hold on to the between 2 fast moving trains must have made someone loose his head if not contact with the,negative +this film is a fires on the plain referred to is the burning off at the end of time a happy memory for he this in his mind many and at the end of this bleak film like a man dying of he he is home and this last illusion is all he has left billy the big carnival ace in the hole is the only film that comes to mind that is as bleak as this little masterpiece by while i think the whole film is brilliant two scenes that come to mind are when a platoon of japanese soldiers trying to escape on there are by americans and true horror and as an american soldier and a pretty girl soldier are having a cigarette on the side on the road she smiles as she with the then her face changes to rage as she two japanese soldiers trying to she grabs a gun and kills them with joy the american soldier attempts to stop her but has no chance to me this speaks volumes at the committed by the japanese in the all in all a great film if you have the stomach for it,positive +first and foremost this movie has the stupidest plot of any movie i have ever seen and unfortunately i had to see this one i was flipping through channels one day and stumbled upon this lousy excuse for a movie and it confirmed what i have been saying for a long time top is not an actor and is not funny in the slightest sense he acts like he's a great comedian and thinks he the audiences attention frankly he has the acting ability of a 10 year old class clown scratch that less than a 10 year ability to compare them to top would be a grave insult upon their good name this movie tries to be funny using dull one liners which all seem to have been lifted from 50's cartoons by the end i would have done anything to my memory of this movie but sadly the memories stay with me the only thing i can do is to warn others to never to watch this movie however it proves the rumors true top can't act worth a damn,negative +i think my summary says it all this mtv ish answer to the classic camera tv show features a gen x or is that gen y type putting in false and wearing various hats and and glasses and setting people up in fairly outlandish although often not very interesting situations example kennedy has a guy invite his parents to his wedding kennedy is the bride done up in a full and long wig the joke is that the parents immediately understand their son is marrying a man who claims to no longer have his bits and pieces problem is this goes on way too long obviously to fill out time and kennedy is about as funny as a dead lying in the sun camera would have run three or four scenarios in the time it took kennedy to get through this one running around constantly asking do i look fat i recognize the show was not made for me it was made for 12 year old who think jackass is the height of comedy today so let them laugh thank god the show was short lived,negative +every great once in a while you stumble upon a movie that even your expectations given the imdb rating of 4 0 i wasn't really expecting much with the of satan i hoped that at a minimum it might be cheesy fun like the devil's rain or any of the other early 70s similarly themed satanic horror films i have been more wrong what i got instead was an ambitious and intelligent film with a cast i really enjoyed speaking in broad terms to avoid giving anything away the film's style and structure are much more experimental than the straightforward storytelling so prominent in the early 70s the of satan doesn't beat you over the head with plot points and explanations a lot is left to the viewer to fill in the as a viewer you know something is but for the longest period you're just not sure what it is the unknown helps make for a far atmosphere than most similar films the ending is effective with its surreal imagery i sat in as the final credits began to roll those wanting a big slam bang finale will be disappointed with the simplicity a lesser film would have tried to pull out all the stops and would most likely have failed miserably br br there are moments in the film where it's easy to forget the director bernard had primarily worked in television before the of satan there are a few scenes that are so well set up lit and shot that even the most accomplished of directors could learn a thing or two for example i've seen enough films over the years to realize that directors can sometimes seem to have trouble shooting widescreen shots not here the scene where the men are discussing their plan of action in the office is amazing we see all five men at once – each doing their own thing as in real life in a lesser film we might see all the men at once but each would be quietly waiting their turn to deliver their dialogue it's a small scene but it looks so natural and is so beautifully shot that it's one of my favorite moments of the of satan br br finally i mentioned the acting in my opening so without going into a long speech i'll just say that the of satan features martin and l q jones any film with these two guys is almost an automatic winner with me,positive +mary is delightfully on edge as always i never tire of her upper especially in the women and pride and prejudice w c brief role is fun though the famous pool table scene stretches its welcome a bit because it seems to go on for ten minutes the antics of the film typical of the period are great also a nod to alison wonderfully grounded hotel mistress i would love to see more of her she reminds me of marie another personality worthy of high praise br br allen an irritating unfunny presence whose annoyance went until the rise of adam sandler that near with an accent of unknown origin gets old in her very first scene this is the first of the burns allen films i have seen and while i as a big classic comedy buff try to experience at least one film with every major comedy star this is definitely one team i will not be calling upon again her timing and interpretation of the material is totally off a mediocre talent br br the bottom line an ok comedy but the gags are few and far between and at only an hour long you can expect that this is not an a grade hollywood comedy recommended only for and fields fans who want to see all of their work,negative +i am a big fan of british films in general but especially gangster movies unfortunately this film was shockingly bad i think its pretty depressing that this film is getting any good reviews the idea that this film is gritty and realistic is laughable i have read and heard fist hand quite a lot about the real life events shown in this movie and they have nearly all been with over the top violence etc the only gritty true to life event in the whole film was the range murders where some overblown got out for messing with people they could not handle this film is a disgrace to british cinema it has no plot and no decent acting and just relies on being violent gritty and realistic as some people like to put it the sort of people who made this film should not be allowed near a budget or film camera just as the sort of people this film is about should not be given the opportunity to tell this pathetic violent little tale of no consequence,negative +cult director lucio fulci is probably most famous for his gory zombie flicks from the 1980s that earned him his reputation as the godfather of gore absolute greatest film however dates back to 1972 and while it is definitely gritty and violent it is not nearly as gory as many of his other films non un aka don't torture a of 1972 is not only by far greatest film this and utterly brilliant giallo is one of the absolute highlights of the genre the stunning atmosphere and suspense the great setting the intriguing story the brilliant performances or the intense moments of sheer shock i don't know what to praise most about this ingenious giallo don't torture a truly delivers cinematic perfection in every aspect which makes it an absolute masterpiece of italian horror cinema br br contrary to other it is not seductive beauty queens who are one by one but little boys who fall victims to a killer on the loose bodies of little boys are found in rural while the police are desperately searching for the killer the little town is basically full of strange people and the are screaming for a br br the film is stunningly suspenseful and from the very beginning with a gritty dark and constantly tense atmosphere that has yet to find an equal the acting performances are among the best in italian horror cinema one of my personal all time favorite actors is excellent in the lead as journalist who is investigating the crimes sexy barbara delivers both eye candy and a brilliant performance equally outstanding performances come from irene and who is utterly brilliant in her role the great score by brilliantly the suspense and atmosphere and the film is shot in fascinating landscapes although not as gory as many other fulci films this film is definitely gritty and in its violence with a few shockingly brutal scenes br br don't torture a has everything brilliant horror requires this is not quite as easy to get hold of as most other fulci flicks but i assure that searching it will pay off any horror fan must see this personal favorite of mine and i highly recommend any true lover of film in general not to miss this a masterpiece,positive +holy sweet murder this is quite possibly the least funny movie i've ever seen you can take my word for this as truth because it's playing on television right now it's really one of the most pathetic productions i've ever seen there is not a single aspect of this flick it just lacks any humor whatsoever the only good thing it possibly has going for it is that it's so unfunny that it's wholly in fact i just sat through some ridiculous sub plot and i can't really tell you what went on the only reason i can even possibly remember having seen this movie is because it's so absolutely it will stick in my mind forever based on that alone br br an absolutely must miss if your friend wants to show it to you shoot him and save yourself the boredom,negative +minor spoilers br br a woman gets pregnant but not by her husband she develops inside her or at least thats what her husband thinks they go through a lot of hard times while she is on the brink of a nervous breakdown the husband contacts an professor and with his help they try to find out what is wrong with her br br minor spoilers br br the story could have been a bit better or at least be made less predictable but the movie is catchy and it got me and my sister hooked through the entire movie without a problem the acting is very good and the filming is much better than normal if you compare this to your normal b alien movie the effects are good and something is happening every second of the movie the characters are really likable and apart from a stupid nurse in scene they are all very convincing in their roles br br i thought it was a good movie and can recommend it if you like alien monster movies br br 7 10 the story could have been a bit less predictable,positive +is the worst movie i've seen this year and that includes both the affleck j lo bomb and the rob zombie house of 1000 corpses i don't know if that's a fair comparison seeing that was made two years earlier and probably has a budget half that of even the low budget 1000 corpses regardless all three movies suffer from the same shortcomings horrible script horrible acting horrible direction br br spoilers although i honestly don't think there's anything to spoil br br is about a group of super spoiled private school kids most of them in super sized apartments along new hyper expensive park thanks to the of their parents the film showcases the life of one of the students cat as she her only true friend as a person as she was in the pursuit of the good life with the in crowd that of course leads to sex drugs and music that is worse than rock roll everything is overly in the way that truly bad movies usually are first sexual experience leads to her being a tramp and by her newly acquired circle of friends her first encounter with drugs leads to her nearly being dumped down a garbage after her believe her to be dead from an no heavy handed messages there he said br br that's mainly what the seen it before 100 times plot other minor and even less interesting plot details include one friend who steals jewelry and from all the others a wild child who lives life on the edge and finally falls off of it one night in the east an anti british chick who ends her close friendship with cat the moment she finds out cat has a jewish father and strained relationship with her single mother who tries to get cat to appreciate the life she has the thief turns out to be an the wild child is played as a toned down version of one of the hilton sisters the british girl disappears from the film after the break up the mother daughter relationship is seen as totally until the film's final scene where she and her mother have a of sorts yawn br br end spoilers br br about the cast and crew came on the scene strong with her role as the in highly watchable and face off her performances were strong enough to land her on quite a few ones to watch lists at the time she was 17 at the time and i hope that they will not be the best roles of her career if she takes a few more roles like the one she takes in it very well may be br br i've only seen phillips in one other film bully and i swear her performance in that one was nearly identical to the one she gave here i'm not sure if she's incapable of giving varied performances or if it was just a coincidence her roles in the two were so very similar my guess is that the former is true i sense this woman possesses very little talent as far as acting is concerned here she is the actress to portray the watered down hilton sister that she gives such a weak performance is amazing considering that she grew up with and remains friends with the real life hilton sisters she's essentially playing a version of herself in this film and doing a damn poor job of it br br as for writer director christina wayne i know nothing of her other than was her first and only film project to date with a first effort like this it is no wonder her career in show business was short lived,negative +good old jess franco the always reliable choice of director in case you're looking for sleaze shameless exploitation and 200 jess once again really himself with this utterly trashy piece of jungle adventure let's face it this film is basically just an excuse to have the hot and actress parade around topless it's actually a rather disturbing thought that an innocent 16 year old girl had to walk around a film set naked in front of a whole crew and particularly before the eyes of franco and it wasn't even the first time since the duo previously already made linda together anyways just in case you wondered yes of the does have a plot albeit a very one during the opening sequences a plane carrying aboard a wealthy scottish guy and a girl child crash amidst an african tribe of cannibals i say because they never at one point in the film so much even attempt to human flesh the obnoxious declares himself the great white leader and the girl grows up to become the beautiful and dressed white several years later an expedition reaches the middle of the jungle to get the girl back to civilization and – even more importantly to steal some of the legendary this could have been a compelling and action packed adventure movie but jess franco obviously couldn't be bothered why shoot jungle chase sequences or bloody when you can just as easily aim your camera at a hot young chick sitting naked in a tree most of the jungle settings simply appear to be filmed in someone's garden and there's a massive amount of clumsily edited national footage in order to fill up the gaps in continuity the back of the dvd describes of the as an ingenious feminist and adult version of tarzan yeah right they just put that sentence there because character from one tree to another using a a couple of times,negative +i guess by the time i saw this episode i had seen enough twilight to have it figured out ahead of time there is this odd of characters who find themselves at the bottom of a they are fine until an soldier shows up in their midst it is his prime to escape and so he the forces and puts them to work to reach the top of the there is much discussion about purpose and reason and on their but no one can remember anything they represent different jobs a a a clown a man in a hat why are they there it leads to an adventure and is resolved at the end but i guess i had a pretty good idea before it all happened,positive +when i saw this movie for the first time i didn't believe my own eyes in front of me there was a great and well done parody of see stan laurel that way is like to see an excellent in action it's a very good parody rich of ideas with a clever and charming stan old and good like or the booze up after that,positive +after just viewing the movie i must say this is one of the worst films i have ever seen this takes my worst movie award away from which is no easy feat it is neither a porno nor a legitimate film and it gives them both a bad name the acting camera work plot script and sound are all awful my personal favorite part of the movie is the duck asking the bartender if he has any why was a joke such as this put in the film was the director thinking i need a humorous scene to balance out the great acting so i will use some lame ass joke i read on a another retarded part is when norman the on himself as he attempts to keep it from why did they even bother to give the film a 17 rating were they hoping to get as large of an audience as possible at least if it were rated x it would be more sexual and therefore taking the viewers focus away from the overall low quality i pray for someone who worked on this waste of a flick to respond,negative +this is absolute drivel designed to shock and the 60's mindset the acting is completely wooden mainly of ad which results in the sub standard actors the first thing they can think of br br the end result is of a badly written play being read by people who have no idea and couldn't care the one exception to this is the lead character joe played by joe who spends a lot of the film in a naked either stoned or the only one in the piece who can act please don't think i don't get this is and simply a stinker that should never have made it out of a film class,negative +an epic story of hope by budget and limited artistic ambition seeing as produced this i expected something haunting and lyrical instead we get a typical norwegian co production revolution with al pacino anyone where quite possibly good intentions are by a dreadful screenplay and where many of the characters are reduced to stereotypes the me tarzan you jane english dialogue between the non english speaking protagonists is particularly – one could whether nick nolte and tim roth ad their own as they almost sound like real people the story is loaded with we are expected to believe that can speak a of english after having spent his entire life living as a slave his but unfortunately not command in the camp without the benefit of night classes coincidence is i wonder whether an hour or two has been edited from the first third he tracks down his mother in ho city almost immediately after into his thirty year younger half brother who him mum gives him a gold or something similar of great value as they part but this is never referred to again his relationship with me dead inside is supposed to provide the obligatory love interest but feels as artificial as and cameron in gangs of new york br br the voyage in the bucket of a boat does convey a sense of the appalling conditions that human indeed the only time the film is remotely exciting and unpredictable is the jerky hand held footage shot from the bridge during choppy weather conditions incidentally a boat cruise from to new york via the cape of good hope and the african coast without stopping for fuel or supplies is certainly an epic journey the beautiful shot of the new york echoes use of magic hour but i want to know why the coast guard didn't show up perhaps they were watching the super bowl or something of course manages to track down his blind old dad on a remote farm in texas with the same flair he displayed in ho city i was impressed at how nick nolte could wander around digging fields and feeding horses on a large ranch without the aid of a guide dog or white stick for of how a story about the could be structured and shot on a small budget check out michael far superior in this world,negative +lost a place for food fun and murder after a guy disappears on his way to a gas station a group of her friends head out on a trip to search for him they come across a wax museum where they think their friend might have ended up unfortunately for the friends however the owner of the attraction possesses the power to control his wax and use them for evil one by one the tourists are stalked down and killed by and his legion of wax can the friends escape or will they fall to the same fate as their lost friend following in the footsteps and them around of the great classic wax films house of wax mystery of the wax museum tourist trap takes the slasher genre to a whole new level of strange and fascinating with its bizarre story and style as far as character development action dialogue flow etc it seems to be just a basic slasher flick but it goes far beyond that as the director takes control of the plot and moves it to the supernatural thriller it is the acting from acceptable from the main cast to very good from backwoods mr played by western legend chuck the writing moves well and the dialogue is well structured but there are some flaws in logic as the film moves deeper into the story also some scenes are a bit silly like the attack on it's nothing however that would detract from the effect of the film as one would expect from a film about wax it is full of the endless creepiness by the it's strange that a mostly object can just sit still and somehow be so unsettling perhaps it's the human or the blank stare or the fact that you know it's about to spring an attack whatever it is the dolls are extremely spooky and that effect is used very well throughout the entirety of the film as far as slashers go it's one of the best and it stands as one of the films i've ever seen br br obligatory slasher elements br br violence gore the film is full of some cool deaths the gore isn't excessive but it's done well and leaves it as being realistic br br sex nudity there is an extended skinny scene with the very attractive lead females though barely begins to describe the ravishing future angel roberts but it's all a as the girls remain mostly underwater they do remain scantily clad throughout the film however br br cool killer s creepy is just the beginning of and his one of the best killers in the slasher br br scares suspense from the opening scene on the film maintains a great blend of the creepiness of the jump scares from the attacks and a strong level of suspense in the stranded situation it's all very well done to make for a genuinely scary film br br mystery well mystery wasn't really the point of the film just the meaning behind all of it is what matters br br awkward dance scene all these cute girls and not a single dance shame br br final verdict 8 10 see this creepy slasher br br,positive +the murder of the red in was a long way from one of the most horrendous things ever done in the scottish war of independence and fights and killing in wasn't unusual at all not that much later robert wife daughter two of his sisters were captured during a fight in a church in which people were killed and comparing it to the massacre of in which the english slaughtered at least non some yes in is ridiculous br br that said this is not a well made movie it is slightly to the absolutely ridiculous representation of robert bruce in braveheart whatever bruce was it wasn't a br br too bad that they didn't do a better job of this because someone should make a really good movie of a war that is so amazing that it sounds like something someone made up going from complete defeat at the battle of to a secret return from hiding to a long war to this isn't it though poorly made and to a large extent poorly written and acted too bad,negative +the capture of bigfoot is one of the and worst movies of all time i love sasquatch and bigfoot movies but this one is just a sheer waste of one's time terrible terrible terrible i watched this movie last night and it was all i could do to finish watching i understood that this weird crazy man wanted to capture bigfoot but that was the only thing that made sense in this movie it did have some amusing parts though there was this very cheesy and corny disco club with very bad disco dancing that seemed to go on for far too long in the movie i think the director was trying to fill time the worst thing was the way the bigfoot looked the obvious man in a suit looked like a pink faux fur bigfoot it was laughable if you want to see a very bad bigfoot movie then i suggest that you purchase this movie personally i wasted my time and my money on this one,negative +this film is about a single mother who is happy go lucky to the point that she is almost irresponsible and her sensible teenage daughter who is adolescent br br anywhere but here is an engaging film from beginning to the end both ann and adele are described well right at the start so we get to know how different their personalities are inevitably ensue and they are presented i find myself so drawn to their state of minds and their circumstances it is as if i am living their lives feeling what they are feeling br br susan sarandon gives another excellent performance in anywhere but here she is charismatic happy go lucky warm and loving all at once i have always liked susan sarandon and i think she is grossly underrated br br anywhere but here is a captivating emotional journey,positive +if you're ok with the outlandish work of horror to accept his outrageous story lines and flamboyant you should have a great time with opera if you don't then you won't br br plays betty a beautiful young opera who is given a shot at fame in an avant garde production of when the star of the show is hit by a car as any who has the

murderer who tapes under her eyes to prevent her from closing them br br with the help of a little girl who through her air her director and agent and a few who have seen the face betty discovers the killer's identity and the truth about her mysterious past br br let's face it opera is one crazy film with its preposterous plot turns convoluted death scenes and an ending that belief and whilst director has never been one for shall we say conventional story lines this particular giallo is so and features so many of his trademark stylish touches all up to the max that it's almost as if with each film he is seeing what he can get away with at times almost his earlier work br br this is exactly why i find the film such fun br br camera movements are absolutely incredible and in one amazing scene even around the opera house above the audience the power of music is combined perfectly with the of score providing a suitably to the visuals and several outstanding set pieces featuring sergio nauseating gore fx go to prove that no one does death better than check out one character's stunning demise in which a bullet passes through a spy hole in a door in slow motion and straight into their eye br br 7 5 out of 10 rounded up to 8 for imdb,positive +it's particularly hard for a director to capture film making without getting precious over dramatic or all three demonstrates the lizard brain methods of a female auteur in from two cattle as hitchcock called actors a love scene of her main battle is with her leading man an actor is really a woman she although naturally it is the leading lady who will steal the show i disagree that this is first comedy was at various points hilarious but i accept that the french sense of humour can be for indeed dozens of imdb reviewers no comedy in romance by contrast sex is comedy raises plenty of laughs mainly by using an actor's prop that goes back thousands of years to and the ancient we wondered leaving the theatre whether beard was a wig a lovely performance from anne as wrestling with her own script looking ten years younger than her age,positive +back and it's about time this time with the help of jennifer and a little spell from voodoo for well at least with this installment the camp is back this was the more gruesome of this series so far it has some good twists and some good action scenes br br this one was by far the most fun of the series and successfully if unintentionally bridges the gap between pure horror to horror comedy br br i am looking forward to seed of it'll be a hoot br br jesus the music gone to since i've been dead br br we needed the as the doll getting old the added comedic element and the better action scenes brings this one back up to equal the quality of the first when the idea was fresh and new ish br br 6 8 10 from br br the fiend,positive +before stan laurel became the smaller half of the all time greatest comedy team he under contract to billy anderson in a series of many of which were parodies of major hollywood features most of films are only mildly funny and even less funny for modern audiences who haven't seen the original movie which laurel is fortunately and a movie which is still well known and starring and was released only nine weeks before this parody giving you some idea of how quickly movies were ground out edited and distributed br br various sources including imdb state that stan character in this film is named with a final i've screened a print of and with the original titles in type so i report that role is actually cried with an but i agree that is funnier laurel copies the elaborate which wore in and he should've made them longer and there's a parody of dressing scene from that movie which made female movie goers in a named carmen in the original film is here as a girl i'd like to sink my teeth into br br this movie like the original apparently takes place in spain yet there's a gag laurel uses a distinctive hat gesture here which could have become a trademark for him like distinctive but i've never spotted it in any other laurel film there's some amusing dialogue tells the other to a bull for me ' when becomes a successful a tells him 'the bull is without which is funny but i was disappointed that laurel didn't what ' br br there's one funny moment here which almost certainly wasn't planned when shows up for the laurel into the and before you can say he a bull over the fence where it lands with a near the other the bull is obviously a fake but the gag is funny anyway and there's a title card with a joke about the the moment occurs when laurel repeats the gag and a second bull over the fence this one lands on its butt and for just an instant before very funny if somebody planned that gag in this comedy i the unknown and the tech man who the bull to land in that position more likely it happened by luck and the director and editor were smart enough to keep it in br br during the silent era whenever hollywood made a big budget feature film which was set where the people don't speak english it was a common cinematic device to show a piece of text or an in the local then to a shot of the same text in english i was surprised that this low budget comedy spent the money to copy that device here we see a notice board outside the with a message in spanish then it to the same text in english unfortunately the photography in this movie is so dark that the effect is wasted br br the actresses in this movie are attractive including wife anderson and stan common law wife mae the latter briefly does a pretty dance mae had in vaudeville act i was surprised to spot charlie half brother in a brief role since chaplin had nothing to do with this movie in and laurel gives a funny performance that's quite unlike his later familiar stanley character but this film is much less funny than his brilliant work with oliver hardy my rating just 3 out of 10 trivia note twenty three years later in stan very last american film 'the 1945 he again played a spanish with his spanish voice post dubbed that film used stock footage from and not movie but the power remake and is funnier than 'the but not much,negative +i wasn't expecting a whole lot when i rented this film as a lot of independent films seem to be a bit overrated these days well hollywood films too for that matter but this movie was fantastic really great it's too bad it didn't reach a huge audience because it's just superb i really love determination it really makes me look upon my life as a gift and i see how i am just to have an education but all of that aside this movie really proves that a good artist can tell a good story no matter what the budget it's an excellent film and everyone should watch it they will love it and definitely learn something from it i don't have to be roger ebert to know it's one of the best movies i've seen all year and certainly one of the most truthful,positive +although this movie is inaccurate overall there are some items that may be true certainly he was a wild character in his youth having played practical jokes on his fellow at west point almost several times last in his class of and often reckless in his during the civil war br br but history may have made him a goat of the indian wars certainly he did his share of cruel things but how much was he under orders also there is evidence that he before at great risk to his and command that he about the fairness of breaking with the indians and that if he was an indian he would also fight rather than live on a br br as a character said in the play when asked what will be said about the british about losing the revolutionary war the character states history will do what it always does it will lie who knows how bad a man was certainly he wasn't the sympathetic character as portrayed by errol flynn and later by ronald reagan but i also doubt he was completely evil as he is later portrayed,negative +geoffrey wright the director of shakespeare's in the contemporary criminal underworld of melbourne australia the result is a semi awful piece of cinema sam is and walks around looking very self conscious and bored victoria hill who wrote the script with wright is lady and she's neither awful nor good who plays is the only actor in the cast who exudes any kind of authority the rest including gary sweet are wasted and shot on by the late will gibson the movie's visuals lack character everything is too clean and too deliberately lit direction is uninspired in the extreme and the action sequences are confusing and inept as the most violent australia movie ever the film is violent at times and reasonably bloody but it fails to deliver a single moment slow moving and terribly pretentious this silver screen version of the classic play is the of wrong headed,negative +may contain spoilers br br i was super excited to go see blood and chocolate with my friends i couldn't wait because the book is one of my favorites but as soon as the movie started i couldn't believe how different it was at first i was like okay so both of her parents are dead maybe it'll be okay but then came the rest of the movie by the time it was over i was furious nothing was correct but their names and the fact that vivian fell in love with by the end of the book gabriel was my all time favorite and then the movie goes and turns him into a complete heartless idiot the movie also showed the or werewolves as these vile evil creatures were as the book shows them as just wanting to fit in and keep their pack safe they would never kill humans for the fun of it br br if they wanted to make a movie like they did they should have given it a different title and named the characters different because then i would go out and watch it again and buy it but when i think about it all i can see is the bad you couldn't pay me to go see it again or buy it,negative +this film is one to spend the short while entertainment but who then could be made in nobody country it does not have anything the who looks for the topics of the supposed or socially and politically correct cinema and what it is it it is better than it is not going to see this film some to the drug traffic or the fight is no reference either farmer and worker or wing and to the kidnapping political br br the corrupt police is a who it could be mexican russian italian or chinese and also the protagonist an photographer it could be or and the frequent in its it could be replaced by another word of of any other country without the or history changes the important thing is that it is a very counted history with images and right performances its quality almost is of tv movie but of the good ones that if one film like this if it deserves or does not deserve the support with a little is a classic discussion,positive +this one is a poor attempt at spinning the old cons turn good yarn which we have seen so many times before it actually reminded me of the american series 'the although nowhere near as good omar is totally unconvincing as the hard man of the bunch as is who's attempt at being the funny guy gets lost along the way danes performance was decent though and you can see from this performance why she was cast in terminator 4 br br the squad is a film which lies in a kind of grey area between serious thriller and comedy at times it takes itself serious but other times it tries to be humorous but fails miserably the film has a kind of half finished feel about as if it was stretched to the 90 minute mark br br be disappointed,negative +the is a straight to video steven seagal film that was originally intended to be released as a theatrical feature in march 2003 an intention which was reportedly when prior film half past dead at the box office according to some reports the film had a lavish 20 million budget including location shoots in and paris and was completed as part of the to a two picture deal which was after the relative success of exit wounds seemed to indicate that seagal still had a solid following br br despite the size of their investment screen gems probably made the right move in this movie it is nearly incomprehensible what am i saying it is incomprehensible i don't think i understood what was going on at all except in the very terms br br seagal is employed by a mysterious guy to deliver a mysterious package to another mysterious guy other mysterious guys try to stop him other highly mysterious guys try to kill the moderately mysterious guys who try to stop him other really really mysterious guys do especially mysterious stuff all of which which was in fact too mysterious for me to figure out the intended mysterious wife tries to the package before it can be delivered to her husband because he is a self professional who has been hired to deliver the package only into the hands of the husband seagal at first defies the wife then later gets involved in protecting her and her daughter from other mysterious guys with unexplained as well as from her husband br br many people have mysterious conversations many people blow each other's brains out some guys seem to die more than once while in other scenes end without a clear view of the result so the audience sees somebody die but is not sure which one of the is headed to boot hill shift often adding further mystery or should i say confusion br br i don't know who was on whose side or what anybody really wanted and the resolution was as unsatisfying as the exposition at the end of the movie i just sat there thinking that's the end what the br br i couldn't even figure out the credits imdb says that aussie actress kate from was in this film but i'll be damned if i know where either she was left on the cutting room floor or she wisely out of the project she could have found some activities more to her career like having unnecessary surgery ripping those insert cards out of magazines or taking some community college in animal br br seagal used to be a pretty fair hand to hand but the action scenes didn't manage to redeem this film at all seagal is in his 50's now and is a very large man so he is reduced to a level of physical and even during that he is contained in a length coat to hide his he might even get a little the from candy bars although that's understandable if you just how many of those he must have to eat to maintain his present br br steven seagal seemed to be making a comeback with exit wounds but if his last film was half past dead this one must be pretty close to filling out the other half,negative +thankfully brief mystery about a who is discovered to be the kidnapped daughter of a the discovery brings about an attempt on her life which is by charlie as a crime things take a turn for the dangerous when everyone ends up in the title location and another attempt is made on the girls life your enjoyment of this film will depend upon your tolerance for and his nonsense i normally like but there was something about this role that me the wrong way actually i think it didn't help that the mystery wasn't very good so there was nothing beyond the characters to keep you watching yes the finale on the train was exciting but it didn't make up for everything that went before not worth searching out but if you stumble upon it give it a try,negative +you will be able to tell within the first 30 seconds of this film whether you want to finish watching it the film opens with images of planes landing at an airport one plane after another diving into a filled you will be able to accurately guess that this movie is not about a story at first viewing it's even easy to think the opening images are repetitive shots of the same plane the initial drama is in the of your perception which is built on your to experience the film simply as a series of images if after this opening you want to see the movie you will not be bored you may even be the movie may be an emotional experience it may be an intellectual experience it may be both judging from the dvd commentary which is essential it was primarily an emotional experience for and at one point he talks about how the film is a collaboration between filmmaker and viewer there's plenty of room for the viewer to make of this film exactly what he or she wants to make of it take a,positive +i say remember where and when you saw this show because i believe if fox gives talk show a chance spike will be right up there with conan in a few years because like conan he is incredibly funny and seems to be just grateful at having his own show which adds to the humor br br the funniest bits spike has had so far are the idiot and comedy for and if your not high and get what does that say about you br br in summary this show is funnier in 25 minutes than snl in an hour so lets hope talk show gets the attention it deserves such as an extra half hour more money and a band,positive +i viewed the reader at sugar which is not an for viewing anything and the movie was by far the highlight of the evening the technical elements were well and it was obvious that rogers had chosen his and crew well but it was the story and it's delivery that truly made this short shine tight script was just what this evening of shorts needed it neither as several offerings did or to us the reader was simple story telling in it's best form well cast by rogers and beautifully acted rogers is obviously a director with the ability to put all the pieces together i'm looking forward to his next finished project k,positive +a movie like this makes me appreciate the work that professional actors do i think movie goers in general are a little too hard on professional actors and are ready to bash them for the most reasons just watch a couple minutes of massacre and trust me you'll change your views a would be almost a compliment for these no talent actors but then again it's a jim film is a popular director of these ultra low budget b movies having worked with roger corman on many an occasion the problem with this movie is it actually tries to develop a plot and when you have actors delivering lines like they're reading letters off an eye how am i supposed to care in bare 2 he didn't try to develop a plot he simply tried to make a porn goofy on the blair witch project it was fun and it was is no fun there are a couple obligatory female nude scenes but they are few and far between so it's not even worth enjoying on an erotic level i must say the worst scene is the one where fritz walks across a bridge that's about to collapse first of all her character didn't have to walk across that bridge second of all as the bridge starts rather than try her best to run across she just stands there and acts helpless and top it off we don't actually see the bridge collapse because the filmmakers made this for a budget of 2 dollars unlike a lot of b horror films this one's actually boring and that's what makes it the worst of all bad movies one of the few bright spots was johnson who's probably the most natural actor in the film though certainly no more than halfway decent he was funny in bare 2 and had some funny scenes in this movie too,negative +this was truly a tense and dark episode excellently executed wonderful acting and atmospheric directing is one of my favorite episodes along with and these are quite good in dark atmosphere in my case it seem quite realistic to me their paranoia their suspicion and their ever growing rage was perfectly executed by the great actors however had a problem that i got over after a few watches it was too short i wanted more br br overall had what 98 of all x files episodes have excellent acting intense story writing gritty directing all the works br br 10 out of 10,positive +lord have mercy why was this film made why did seagal and rising star max ryan agree to be in it the is so excruciatingly bad in every way that it the mind br br the film has an ultra cheap look to it like a budget of a couple of bucks was far out of their reach what's worse is that the makers know this and try to make it look slick to compensate the result is a film that just don't look right the fight scenes are so dull and edited to hide the fact that steven seagal is not in good shape anymore none of them are engaging or exciting the plot is nonsense that doesn't interest in the slightest way or have any to it the eastern europe locations a sly move by the producers to keep the budget down or non existent look unpleasant and should not be serving as the backdrop for an film what action br br and what is the deal with the title as far as i could tell everyone in the movie was foreign which one does the title refer to br br the dvd is in 1 85 1 widescreen and in 5 1 sound neither are remarkable enough to warrant even a single rent the is not worth one second of your time gotta love that tho they think they can stop him they're dead wrong ',negative +i watched this out of curiosity i enjoyed stargate and i've watched many of the other tv shows and movies that the principal characters have worked on br br my expectations weren't high so i was surprised to be so disappointed br br the acting throughout is appalling and the script is worse br br zero research into the bad science that is throughout the movie or into martial arts which several cast members engage in throughout the movie despite clearly having no martial arts training does not a warrior make training makes the already implausible plot even less credible the same weapon carried by michael when shot at the side of a mountain causes extreme damage but when shot at the wall made of wicker creates a small fireworks effect without the wicker structure ok i suppose michael fans will be to seeing that in stargate where a staff weapon creates either a surface burn on a main character or a hole in a section of castle wall as required but still a bad cgi snake eats one of the faithful in the way a dog would eat snakes just don't behave like that br br the basic premise of an warrior cult on a distant planet is silly at best societies have always been based on a lack of understanding that men are required in the process of the species for instance the who didn't figure out the role of men in sexual until the century at which time the balance of power moved from the women to the men they carry technological weapons and demonstrate some knowledge of science particularly of medicine so the idea that a society could exist with this level of scientific knowledge is based purely on the original author's wet dream of course the few references to stellar science made in this movie demonstrate that the author knew nothing about that either except for a few that he must have heard in other movies still it could have been done better like in 1965 for instance which showed society with a certain far more and even after 45 years it seems than this exercise in stupidity a few women around in and spitting out their lines like a kiddie looking for a fight in a nightclub come on then i'll do ya style seems to be over the of a culture br br the cultural references are so simple the snake pretty much sums it all up even the hamlet shows more cultural variation br br there is nothing clever thought provoking interesting visually exciting or remotely entertaining about this movie the soundtrack is of similar quality br br i can only assume that the few overly positive reviews this movie has received are from michael fans who will give a thumbs up to anything he's involved in don't be fooled low budgets are not a reason for a film to fail cheap b movies can be brilliant this isn't one of them and there's no reason to this movie on yourself,negative +i have always loved the muppets though most children's entertainment then wasn't that likable the was the are very very funny they are probably the most likable children's characters ever br br not only did the muppets have their own show they also have starred in many films from the christmas carol to the treasure island the first movie the muppet movie was also like the show and the other films excellent br br the muppet movie is about how they all got started the frog used to live in a swamp until one day a movie executive tells him that there are for in hollywood so takes off for hollywood along the way he runs into lots of people such as bear the great and miss also an evil man is trying to capture br br all of the muppet films are highly enjoyable i mean they are all very funny this film has many film appearances such as steve martin mel brooks elliot carol kane richard and orson welles the muppet films are all very enjoyable i hear that jason is going to star in one soon i can't wait to see it,positive +it was like someone was trying to make a scary video game and a documentary at the same time the historical aspect was great everything else was horrible the for the directors other movie that seemed to happen every other minute the video of the actual ghost hunting was edited like a scary movie rather than an investigation they had haunted house music and sound effects that would distract you from what was happening thanks for wasted 2 hours of my time when there was evidence it would fly by most of it was just people talking about the place the episode of the show that went there absolutely destroys how this show was i am so upset with sci fi channel for playing this i haven't watched it since it aired,negative +surely this deserves to be in the bottom 10 films of all time pity it's just a tv movie rubbish that only we british can produce it perhaps has some merit in the so awful it's good scale watch out for scene where they start dancing,negative +saw this last night and being a fan of the first demons i had hoped that the sequel would have the same fun spooky spirit of it's predecessor this is unfortunately not the case the set up is similar as the first in which a of flesh eating demons burst forth into reality by being released from a horror movie being played the first had been a movie theater this one takes place in an apartment building and on tv once the demons are released madness and mass carnage ensues that's pretty much it as far as plot development goes it worked nicely in the first part because of the make up fx fast pace and the sequel however doesn't cut it the first problem seems to be that there are way too many characters who we don't really care about one way or another if they were annoying or idiots then there would at least be some kind of when they are inevitably butchered eaten alive but these people are just kind of there waiting to be slaughtered plus the fact that most of the characters are in different parts of the apartment building and out of it they are constantly cutting back and forth between them which kept pulling me out of the story there are some amusing bits courtesy of the splatter fx and such as a constant flow of dripping blood eating through one construction after another as if it were alien acid the first demon possession of a birthday girl leads to the destruction of her entire party and a creepy demon child his way into the room of a tenant who is pregnant with child however that sequence into a ridiculous looking rubber demon baby puppet thing that bursts from the chest of the human child that constantly flies across the room at its intended victim i got a couple of chuckles out of that scene but i don't think that was intention the scene probably would've worked better if they just kept the child demon around to attack the woman but hey other little things like the over acting of most of the characters and the bad dubbing don't help matters in i managed to see the version on dvd and can't imagine having to sit all the way through the previously only available r rated version because the make up fx and gore were the only thing i got out of it also notable is an early role of producer future daughter asia in fact she probably gives the best performance of the whole cast and she's barely on screen might want to check it out just to see it but will probably find themselves looking at their watch like i did gore fans might get a kick out of some of the fx but will be laughing themselves out of their at the most goofy looking evil baby puppet since little from dead alive you could do worse but it certainly doesn't live up to the original,negative +i'll admit that i've never seen waiting for acclaimed comedy about a small town thats that stages a when the advertising for best in show had the from the team that brought you waiting for a fair number of critics out there implied in their reviews that only people that are familiar with the film or its filmmakers and cast would have a good time seeing this film for shame critics for shame times two any critic that implies something like that with any film probably doesn't want to share the film's wealth with the rest of the world but this is one film that i hope people will experience now that its video dvd best in show is without a doubt the best comedy of 2000 br br the film begins with a style introducing the main not to mention of the best in show competition where dogs of all come to compete to see who is the top dog we have the and harry pepper guest with his the simple cookie levy o'hara with their nut case hamilton meg hitchcock posey the gay dog scott and the ann ward along with her christy lynch they all have their minds on one simple object the blue which will be awarded to the best dog and do i have to tell you the rest br br director writer star idea of humor is one that me that there are comedies out there that are worth laughing at and that the idiocy of films like american pie or other pointless teenage flicks won't take over the world after all his idea is simple make your comedy not just funny but smart funny but instead of following in the brilliant footsteps of films like zero effect and high he used a rather unusual approach and as i understand he also used this approach for whether you notice or not a very large part of the film is in other words what the actors say and do were probably not written in the script maybe even not even of by guest and co writer star levy but with a gentle hand from guest he and the actors pulled off a hilarious theatrical feat that probably would have if handled by other less actors now that's smart br br the cast is of course what makes work the most all of them are a comedic marvel to behold especially guest as pepper but the real standout has to be fred as buck the clueless at the competition who can spin out the most outrageously funny stories and comments that no would even dream of that is if the was trying to be funny can go from talking about the dog to suddenly going on and on about how much he can press there's even a part were he gives out an idea for a new marketing have sexy women pose in tight shirts and shorts with the dogs and imply something like have a style of a time its priceless as is his performance br br i hope that people engage in this 90 minute the film deserves so much recognition it did get nominated for best picture comedy at the golden but didn't win i can't see why i mean in the comedy department it is best in show br br grade a,positive +this movie is great stylish fun good acting i'd seen it described as stock and two smoking and both of which are excellent the plot is simple but it does not detract from the enjoyment is a brilliant and miller is an excellent drunken gentleman the sets and costumes are stunning and the music and are unusual for a sense and sensibility it definitely is not my recommendation go see it sit back with a huge of popcorn and have a damn good time,positive +i almost stopped watching hindi movies because of the mediocre quality and story lines one exception for this is movies this is a nice movie with great performances from the star cast this is must see movie for those who are sick of watching stupid dancing and love stories the adaptation of the story and characterization was exceptional good you should watch this movie for based on the life of cop this movie deals in a more realistic way the film into the life of the common man which he has apart from being an encounter i rate this as one of the best movie of the year,positive +i don't care what anyone says this movie is hilarious it combines the bleak seriousness of threads with an blend of alternative comedy and the results are a severely dark but outrageously funny satire on the of both the western and eastern at the time you gotta give the filmmakers credit for even attempting to top the real life of duck and cover or protect and survive br br imagine someone made a movie based on the dead track sex makes the world go and you're pretty close to apocalypse add on top form as an insanely commander and you've got it exactly a worthy companion piece to dr and that's saying something,negative +when my parents rented this movie i was expecting a very funny movie as randy quaid is very funny in comedy movies however this movie is not all that funny and it is somewhat boring too you can see the surprise coming a mile away and it runs long for a movie that is supposedly only one minutes long so i can honestly say it is not a movie that is on my favorites list it may work for some people but it just did not work with me at all proving to be rather slow in the build up with virtually nothing that amused me within the entire movie randy quaid is wasted and the rest of the cast is a list of very bland actors and actresses the premise of the movie had potential as did the casting of quaid but all of it just and the inclusion of the horror element just seems very unnecessary granted the one dream sequence the kid had when he jumped on the bed and it suddenly became a of blood was very nicely done and would have worked very well in a movie that was supposed to be pure horror instead of one that lists comedy as its first genre,negative +this movie would had worked much better if this was the first movie this is a low budget movie with only two 2 shown on screen why this looks like a fail is because this is the last movie and it's so low budget that it seems the director made the whole movie with his own pocket money however i did like this movie i compare it mostly with the third movie which were bad 4 have a more serious tone in it the first half of the movie even without seeing one yet you have a scary feeling watching it too bad they didn't milk out the i mean even if they only had two 2 puppets they could still have used them on screen a lot more the also have different deaths in this movie which made this a little special especially at the end with the frozen has a promotion in this part and is different in this movie which took me by surprise lastly i liked this one because it also has some kind of conclusion to the series so at least we won't see a 5 anymore oh one last thing i missed one scene in this movie we never see a shoot a spike from its back maybe these puppets didn't have that feature but i was very disappointed not seeing that in 3 we see a lot of spike shooting which was the only good thing i liked about that movie,positive +this is easily one of my favorite musicals of all time bette midler comes as close to real magic on screen as anyone has in her turn as gypsy lee's brave and very scary mother she evokes a sense of desperation that is at times both comic and tragic but always genuine and quite beautiful such charm and she is indeed a woman without a frontier that frontier is discovered for the children who in turn must their own in a world ruled by their mother br br this particular version is as i understand it in it's entirety including the brilliant choreography of robbins as well as the original stage directions,positive +this movie is an incredibly self indulgent character piece that assumes that the mere impression of a story is as good as an actual story it was utterly painful to watch and had i not been in to buy the dvd because of john travolta and the positive buzz i would not have finished watching it br br this film lacks anything resembling an interesting premise and seems to rely on and frankly heavy handed characterization there is one scene between and bobby long in which a tv is destroyed that when played out is incredibly and ill timed br br i found myself caring less and less about the characters as i watched it it was probably very fun film school wise to make it but it is just awfully boring to watch a indulgent and pretentious film school project you should not waste money on,negative +is one of my favorite books thus i was looking forward to this film unfortunately the film is absolutely horrible the dialog is so bad it sounds like half the time the new storyline makes me think they took the book and a couple of threw them in a and used what came out for the screenplay it's a disgrace to the book and independent film making the only reason i even managed to get all the way through the film was my hopes that it'd get better unfortunately it only got worse in a really retarded ending br br that's not to say everything about the movie is bad the cg is acceptable in a 1990's sort of way which i assume is what they were going for and i suppose you can't go wrong with people getting chopped in half and blood all over the place,negative +this 3 hour made for tv miniseries came home with us from this weekend the production company clearly spent a lot of money on sets bridget fonda especially and special effects including a great jim talking polar bear they should have spent a bit more money getting a coherent script the story line was so loose that it really never came together one can overlook irish germans but not jerky storytelling with senseless loose ends which included a special guest appearance by the devil this one is certainly not destined to be a christmas classic a shame that they wasted good performances by the two female leads,negative +the only print of i've been able to find was abysmal i almost couldn't watch it which is a shame as this is among the greatest films the story which i believe had been done before and since by other japanese directors is a bit than my favorite films the and and is essentially a tale of tragic romance in this case a romance that crosses strict class boundaries as always with there is an expressed tone of and bad print aside i was very pleased as with all of films i'm eagerly awaiting a restored dvd release whenever that may come,positive +beware my lovely is an experimental studio film from the early fifties and was directed by a man harry better known for his set designs robert ryan plays a who is hired by to do some for her the problem is that he is a murderer and doesn't know it miss is an soul and tries to win ryan over to little he is not the sort of man compassion could help or cure thus we have an interesting situation of two people who basically mean well but one of them can't do well because there is something wrong with him he suffers during which he commits acts of violence which he later forgets br br essentially the effect ryan has on is that of the hunter and his prey or in another sense a the audience finds out early on that ryan is a mad killer but it takes much longer thus we must live with this knowledge as we watch poor miss try everything in her power to ryan over in order to make things work get the job done get on with life but getting on with things isn't in makeup as he is incapable of any but the most forms of and as soon as there is an opening his paranoia itself br br as a study in mental illness the movie isn't too impressive what it's at is showing the effect of major mental illness with dangerous in the mix and its effect on a normal person in this regard the film is realistic and compassionate though relentlessly logical in that we know can't ryan yet we want her to the result is that if one is willing one can get extremely involved in this film emotionally if one can put aside so to speak its melodramatic structure br br shows us gradually the the house a gothic monstrosity that never feels like a home we become familiar with kitchen and and we come to know which windows miss can use for an escape and which ones she can't,positive +if you see this film in the tv just ignore it if you're looking for something scary you'll be better off watching reruns of the x files br br previous comments the incredibly poor acting by the female lead are dead on she is almost unwatchable the sum total of her range includes and and and not br br i am the kind of movie buff who enjoys a good movie but this is ridiculous there is no direction the plot is as simplistic as the set of numbers they keep throwing at you and much like that set of numbers it ends up having no meaning in the end br br your time will be better spent if you turn off the tv and give your dog a bath,negative +but sadly unfunny satire of detective movies with faced michael caine playing a british author of trashy crime stories traveling to the to assist in writing the of a would be gangster soon he realizes he's being followed and his life is in danger caine the proceedings with considerable sly wit and low sarcasm but his actual performance is of energy shrill bursts of anger or frustration seem to come out of nowhere and he with nobody on the screen other cast members particularly mickey rooney a silver haired lionel and scott do very well in roles though al has an insulting part as an apparent cross dressing homosexual gets insulted without being able to defend himself an position writer director mike has the of a good idea the detective movies of the 1940s without the hard boiled talk and but he hasn't a very sharp sense of humor when a bogart asking a question about a is the best joke what follows is indeed from,negative +tedium as only the french can do it i checked my watch for the first time 7 minutes in and with minutes left i also considered walking out i won't even try to discuss the of the plot or the inability of the characters to be because at about 1 hour in i realized none of this it was not merely self indulgent or pretentious it was a a soul sucking this film has no saving grace no enjoyable character nothing funny and nothing sad it isn't smart enough to be drama and there's no moment that's in the slightest bit the most intriguing thing about this movie is how it has managed to get mostly glowing and positive reviews i was tricked by those reviews but you don't have to be gentle reader all i want for christmas is my three hours back,negative +been interested in watching this ever since it was as the worst film ever on an entry devoted to 1950s sci fi cinema in a british from the early 1980s entitled incidentally the leonard film guide also awarded this the bomb rating when it came out on dvd last year i became interested in the camp box set in which it was included along with queen of outer space 1958 and the giant 1959 however since recently queen on dvd r i had put paid to the idea br br happily just stumbled upon the film on – however the print from the dvd which is said to a surprisingly pleasant looking transfer but rather a tv not so much that the detail is lost in other words it was like watching the film in as opposed to black and white anyway to get to the matter at hand i have to admit that in a way i was disappointed the film prove to be the laugh fest i had anticipated all this time calls it actually i found it quite engaging – and thankfully brief at a little over an hour in length some undeniably amusing bits remain though – such as when the old nurse starts screaming her head off at the sight of the 50 foot woman and when the deputy almost runs over his chief and the leading butler in his enthusiasm to be of assistance in such an unusual case neither did the special effects hit me as being the again on film – though certainly embarrassingly bad br br o k so the idea that an alien in giant sized human form clad in cave man and to boot coming to earth in a big ball shaped spaceship and apparently after the is utter nonsense – and his quasi transparent appearance does it no at really the human story that holds our attention relatively speaking the character of the husband very interesting but his two women are wealthy but alcoholic wife allison hayes and ambitious girlfriend also involved in the narrative are faithful servant already mentioned a couple of cops one of them as noted elsewhere being goofy and as many doctors one of whom is named dr cushing and another a called in when hayes starts growing in size after being exposed to radiation br br of course the film could be seen as the female version of the incredible man 1957 – though it be fair to compare the two further as the jack arnold richard classic is far more psychological intellectual in approach actually hayes seem to be that bothered with her and in fact takes advantage of it in order to teach her husband a lesson however her rampage – exaggerated in movie posters of the era – is rather quaint especially when considering that it only occurs in the last ten minutes or so when not shown the damage caused by her enormous but highly unconvincing hand especially when the puppet supposed to be her husband mostly seen walking in long shot and almost from behind with her size even inconsistent in to the buildings she passes by still demise via when she into an cable is competently done br br finally i followed this with its 1993 tv remake with hannah as the titular creature – which i rented specifically for this purpose,negative +the version of enchanted april manages to be simultaneously tedious br br and it is difficult to show the magic of italy shooting in a studio with only stereotypical italian behavior to the transformation of the four strangers fleeing london is in the cut from the first day to a week later rather than develop the screenplay a switch and the br br characters are different br br the husbands are boring enough in flashbacks without turning up even if their presence does not drive the four women back into their and or br br jessie ralph has the most fun moving instead of entirely chewing up the br br scenery and alexander has some poignant charm out of her br br husband's shadow and away from his hideous ann is br br here with the production code being she had an br br appropriate line in an earlier pre code movie when ladies meet you're br br not worth a minute of one anxious hour that either one of us has given you but in enchanted april can only look hurt rush out and to her husband,negative +i was very willing to give rendition the benefit of the doubt when it came to all the negative press i had read concerning it even about three quarters of the way through i still thought it was and a bit incoherent but otherwise a solid tale reaching its conclusion and then the bottom fell out not wanting to necessarily ruin the film for anyone but the conclusion everything you held to be fact about what and when things have been happening on its no particular reason whatsoever except to maybe tell the world yeah i'm cool and i know it i love a good twist i love a good ah ha moment but only when it is relevant to the story at hand the complete on the part of the filmmakers serves no purpose on the overall tale didn't need to be parallel and they didn't need to be separated by a week all the revelation did was destroy any merit i was about to give director hood and screenwriter sane which may be a good thing because looking back it wasn't really as solid a movie as i initially was going to give it credit for br br it is an admirable thing to try and get the term rendition out into the film going consciousness but it needed a story that deeper into the and politics involved rather than over those issues for a tale of a woman in distress over her husband's disappearance and the angst filled rebellion of a daughter against her father i understand that the bottom line film needs a human quality to grasp onto and for that reason i don't fault it for going that route my only is that we don't get enough of what the title says we should be getting instead we are shown numerous plot lines all brought to the before being sent back into the of our consciousness never to be returned to so much is going on that you forget what you are supposed to be caring for the wife the the cia agent the victim the senator the middle eastern daughter and her boyfriend at the end i really just gave up and let the film take me where it would which ended up being someone totally different than what it first laid out br br everything that occurs happens as the result of a bomb explosion this bomb is at the center of every story thread and finally ends up being so that you can't believe how huge the waves it spread were the old wings quote is in full effect because one boy's mission for revenge ends up destroying the lives of so many whether by death destruction physical and emotional abuse or career suicide no one really escapes however at the end of the day only the story about the man who has been to egypt for torture is really interesting we are led to believe he is innocent from the start yet he is etc in order to any information he might have when those in power include a man with no compassion or reason to stop until something is whether true or not and an without the guts to or stop it the situation lends itself some intrigue as to how it could possibly end the three actors involved all are the best parts of the film and prove once more that the movie should have concerned itself with them for the entirety br br i don't want to people like reese the wife or her employed ex played by peter because they actual do a good job with what they are given even meryl streep her accent and alan arkin don't detract too much however it is the trio of jake cia agent and omar victim that truly shine is brilliant as the egyptian trying to stay sharp as a razor during working hours yet compassionate and worry filled as a father attempting to locate his daughter this man is brutal but he is because that is what his calls for and why he is relied upon to find answers never gives a false second during the pain and suffering inflicted upon him whether he is lying or truly knows nothing about the terrorist who has been calling his cell phone we totally buy into his plight and desperately wait to see how the situation turns out as for someone who seems to have one performance recycled throughout his career with varying degrees of success he finds a part that suits him the demons entering his soul throughout the ordeal he is forced to be a part of wear on his body and mind causing both and a need to the two feelings with each other until he makes a final decision and his stoic demeanor suit that battle perfectly br br it is just too bad that the one plot line working never finds itself as the main point despite being the of the film with all the clutter around the edges we as an audience get around too much into a sense of time and sequence and then slapped in the face as it all in more of a laugh on us then a bet you didn't see that coming i felt cheated and unfortunately that is the lasting effect i have taken from the movie had it been more straightforward i might have enjoyed myself more but as is one can still take some from the severely flawed whole,negative +this film was very different form the previous films and i had to wonder where is ralph he could have been involved in the plot somewhere as old friend who teaches julie what he already knows then can come along and add some more could've been the love interest for julie in this film never mind br br on a serious level i enjoyed this film because it involved teaching a teenage girl how to do karate and her feelings are very different to what were julie is much more wild than daniel was and needs something which finds very challenging she's quite a troubled girl and a rude obnoxious brat br br it was very satisfying to watch the transformation in julie as she to and gets to understand more about karate and her life in general we can all learn a thing or two from,positive +what i hoped for or even expected was the well known stop motion imagery and extreme slow motions extreme and all fish eye takes in short the art of a finding interesting visual events and b capturing them in a way the human eye is not capable of to be so that the human eye can see the stuff that made the other hits br br i just wondered how the creation of the whole would fit the title br br having watched the movie i got the feeling that the focus in this third part was on the message and not on the that's fine especially since the message is so valid but i already knew the message and it appeared there was nothing else left for me more then half the film was or or or transformed through some other it looked a lot like the effects your video camera does but you never use a lot of the images would have been without the like the and chase you could say that or whatever human based source our beautiful but why use these seventies effects to that at the point that there had been more than 10 minutes in a row of this cheap looking effect i was ready to leave the hope that the rest just couldn't be that bad made me stay but then there was the slow motion slow motion is good because it gives you time to analyze the moving picture but if there are no more than 24 or maybe 50 or 60 frames a second then there's just not enough motion to slow down please record the motion to be faster like was done with the beautiful shots of the and water some of the laughing people and the song singing soldiers i acknowledge that archive pictures can't be but i had already seen a lot of that footage anyway it could have done without it it must have been a lot of work to search through the archive footage and the effects can't have been that easy to apply and as well on top of that a lot of the work was mixed with each other it shows that the creator wasn't out to the movie or to spare himself but i didn't like the mixed stuff one bit the idea behind it was sometimes nice or even clever but the was the computer generated images didn't bother me that much however out of date the along in the first part of the film looked more recent and were nice is always fun the mountain was less i was pleased to hear a playing a major role in the music a little less at certain moments would have been appropriate with music but that's a matter of taste as is all of the above of course i do hope that there will be another story to tell soon where computer imagery will have a less significant role and that will inspire somebody to get into the field again br br,negative +there is a serious scene in this movie a scene that lets you know that his film won't be pulling many cheap punches it takes place in a crowded train station and the protagonists are by with automatic weapons they make a break for it and just manage to get out in a of the main hall of the train station is now filled with corpses of innocent people that were caught in the some would call that too sad and or grim to put into what is supposed to be an enjoyable action flick i call it honesty most action movies tend to lean toward the safe side of showing violence and plot elements this mostly means that in spite massive innocent people tend not to die or at least we don't see them die the violence is all purely the good guys versus the bad guys with mainly the bad guys dying a bit of common sense clearly shows this to be absurd br br showed a hint of this in his first and sadly only hit die hard 2 the villains intentionally crash a plane full of people to get their point across the scene was also filmed with a scene of a plane with only a few people on board going down but the and probably more realistic scenario ended up being used however to fit the spirit of the first film die hard 2 was mostly a fun action movie here that and more convincing edge is the violence is bloody the one liners are hilarious but with a certain style that more echoes natural human sarcasm than clichéd film at key moments of action the plot is also packed with more intent than most action films the villain is not just some rogue out for revenge or a mad grab at power it is less ridiculous but also more frightening than that from recent films the bourne trilogy almost gets there with its less cheesy than usual action film style but this film is from 1996 and 7 years before the bourne identity with matt damon made it to the big screen br br another interesting aspect is that the main hero is actually a heroine and this is well before the movie version of tomb became a hit what's more is that this heroine genuinely looks like she could take down john and then take his still lit cigarette this movie marks second action heroine role and she still didn't manage to score a hit while angelina jolie stars in tomb years later and scores a hit the reasons are beyond me completely br br lastly this movie isn't all dark edged there are many outrageous and spectacular set pieces that one can only see in an action film the climatic explosion of a chemical bomb is an absolutely spectacular display of movie with more than one law of physics taking a convenient break thus there is formula here but it is the anti formula for the everyday hollywood action movie formula 9 10 br br 13 violence profanity,positive +i am writing this with 10 minutes left before the film finishes i feel comfortable writing it now because unfortunately i know exactly how this film is going to end br br the premise is simple enough dog on the loose in a small town kills people great simple plot for a good fun camp 80s horror br br no br br the main problem is this is based on a book stephen king and you can tell that is should not have really been adapted to film at least not with the same plot why its boring the first 45 minutes tries to build depth to its main characters and create suspense it however lasts too long half the film the characters are unlikeable and we never care for them anyway and it just about creates zero suspense the film according to plot and time to compare this to it the classic jaws everything that jaws does right does wrong jaws created good characters and a genuine feeling of dread does neither jaws effectively creates a scary creepy villain in its shark has a dirty st bernard running about and jumping and not a lot else jaws is exciting and unpredictable is a bore that remains predictable right to the end br br also confusing is the of subplots that just act as boring red herrings to the films main plot br br if this film was for the big screen and had a better director this could have been good but it wasn't it was a waste of 90 minutes of my life br br people on here are saying this is one of the best king adaptations im sorry you could not be more wrong the is a hundred times better thinner is 10 times better and even the one with the cats is twice as good this in my opinion is one of the worst the only good thing was the action scenes with the dog looked real even though they were dull br br films ended now and it didn't get any better avoid,negative +this film is exceptional in that marlene raymond present outstanding performances the acting in this film is the greatest strength of the production but the script direction and editing deserve applause there is an extraordinary chemistry that between the two stars if you like marlene and you like raymond you'll love this film it's a classic that with casablanca br br,positive +has a good track record and in this film he handles a very delicate topic with sensitivity but manages not to let the film turn into br br this is a fantastic film its funny with sad bits and it makes you look at things differently tell everyone you know to go see it now fantastic br br the acting is excellent and plays a starring role this film will change the way you view people with and also give you a very entertaining night out in the cinema i can't wait it comes out on dvd,positive +i really like this series its funny and unique style of off the wall sometimes controversial comedy is a fresh take on the genre whilst it is a sitcom it stands out due to the what could be awkward subjects br br every aspect has a comedy turn and the show really is very good my favourite part of the program is the rather odd comments of the father dave his break the program up and allow a really good flow not perfect because sometimes the comedy isn't laugh out loud funny and the actors sometimes seem to be waiting for an audience response but otherwise this program is good br br i strongly recommend this program and am very sad that it has been cancelled please make another series and finish it properly,positive +ever since midnight i have been on the for films with dustin hoffman and have mostly not been disappointed ever since kramer vs i have been on the for films with meryl streep and have mostly not been disappointed she gave a superb performance really one of her best in and i her up in out of that these two actors came together over 20 years ago for kramer vs was definitely a very good idea the result is an excellent character drama with a theme which is still very relevant in today's society br br on everyone has a pretty bad time though the kids seem to suffer beautifully handled by robert in some original directing presenting some memorable scenes even the takes on character and should be included in the cast and as for the breakfast scene with billy justin henry just simply magnificent just how do you get an eight year old to act managed it and of course with hoffman there seemed to be good electricity the result is certainly engaging endearing and convincing justin performance must rank among the best 5 or 6 kids' performances of all time the best thing once again was the there was no going over the top so frequent these days br br this film came up again on the small screen the other night though i have had it in my video collection for years it is still worth watching and paying attention to everything around out of 10,positive +i liked the first the grudge it really me out and it had something to it that made me want to see it twice that something was missing from this sequel there was no creativity nothing new or original nothing that really sticks to your mind it's people dying because a scary ghost comes out of the shadows and says boo and most of the time it wasn't even all that scary br br plot wise this movie is a dead end is a good actress but she was given nothing to do and death seemed really because it came so quickly i was also disappointed in the mother subplot i was thinking that she might provide some way to fight the grudge but she dies in the hands hair of that was such a stupid twist all in all it's difficult to feel for characters that you know from minute one are going to die all in the same way and there's nothing they can do it doesn't feel like a cruel destiny awaiting them it's just boring because you know what's going to happen if they had anything to fight it with that would have added suspense even if they failed if there was any hope it would make the scares more justified now you're just waiting for them to die br br was really scary in the first movie but this time we saw her too many times and that took away some of it i was still scared during some scenes but i actually got used to the huge eye and blue face the makers obviously realized this would happen as they added other scary ghosts yes i was scared at the school psychologist scene even if i knew where it was going as soon as she said i've been to the house a nice touch however was not scary at all in this movie i was much more out by the non blue with black eyes and a blank stare that sometimes appeared in the first movie a blue boy sitting in the corner does nothing for me br br some of the characters seemed really unnecessary the notorious milk scene with the girl whose name i can't even remember comes to mind i wasn't scared it was just huh i'm not sure if the were even really needed karen could have brought the grudge to the us with her it could have killed people related to her life everyone at the funeral or something like that even so it would have been dull to watch them all die but being introduced to so many unrelated people really felt annoying hated the i won't call you mother scene mother issues were equally dull the little boy was a touching character though br br the on sequel was much scarier than this one it had some new twists dreams and reality much more for instance and even if it left me feeling quite down i was also somehow satisfied i got to think a bit and be left wondering this movie only provided cheap scares,negative +i watch blues every time it comes on it brings back happy times for me i grow up in a big city in the mid west it reminds me of when i was a child although my situation was a little different it feels the same it makes me wonder if all we will ever know about families are lost the big of day are under the age of will they see know what it takes to be a inspiration to other i hope that i was not the only one who loved this movie enough to relate it to their past the music was great in this movie i truly felt like this should have gone to the theaters i would have paid to see it as i viewed the movie for the second time i figured out who life this movie was about he did an superb job in writing and producing this film i guess who better to produce a film based on your life other than you as soon as i can i will be a copy for my home use i enjoy black producer or directors they make such film feel like you were actually living in the time right than thanks for such a great movie,positive +first of all ed wood jr is not the worst director ever plan 9 from outer space not coleman francis deserves that title i present exhibit b or glenda br br the first half of the movie consists of a surprisingly thoughtful exploration of especially since it was made in 1953 the last 15 minutes of movie are also not bad as well br br this is not to say the movie doesn't have problems bela lugosi was totally odd lines poor bela looked like even he wasn't sure what was happening at times the acting was wooden though no worse than a period universal b movie the long dream sequence that makes up the middle of the film was totally bizarre more like a vaguely menacing film than a dream sequence the alan ann story the supposed original focus of the film has a tacked on quality about it br br no ed wood jr is not the worst director ever he was able at least for part of this movie to make an earnest social statement when coleman francis tried to do that in night train to fine aka red zone cuba it just ended in chaos or glenda is at least watchable without robot help,negative +was apparently intended to be a biopic related to serial killer richard there is however not much killing to be found in this movie and none of it is shown the most disturbing scene in the entire movie is perhaps when one of the eight unfortunate to death in her own yet even this is merely implied and not shown save for a few unconvincing of mr leg the most entertaining part of this movie is most likely the voice over which should be a testament to the mind numbingly boring nature of this movie every aspect of this movie is horrible unless you have a for boredom don't bother this movie only in at minutes but it feels like an eternity,negative +is simply the best film i've ever seen it's a masterpiece where everything is at the right place some scenes are not nice or beautiful but the camera never or this is exactly what's happening here the camera is used to to disgrace and to there is no magic flow here no sense of greatness or respect instead some scenes are together without greater purpose or plan the music is disturbing just as i rated the best film ever made this one is the worst it's a pure movie too but this is the negative form exactly that which should not be done,negative +this was a truly epic production that had all the elements that one would want in a fantasy film the the music the cinematography all artistic elements of this film were absolutely beautiful and provided a rich experience br br ted best know for his tv roles in cheers and was excellent in the role of mary time after time cross creek performed equally well in her limited role as his wife br br other performances i really enjoyed were james fox as dr bates as the queen of and peter o'toole as the emperor of br br this would make an enjoyable children's film but it also would definitely appeal to adults for it's deep social commentary,positive +i enjoyed this film which offers a variety of interesting subplots and complex love hate relations along with interspersed action scenes and some lighthearted moments in which the mountain men counter harsh army discipline all the main characters are well cast true john wayne or robert mitchum could probably have done the starring role just as well but victor mature certainly comes across as a tarzan of sorts reminds me of his film role as another difficult but not impossible man to tame br br the mountain men in the opening scene are certainly an as the era of pure mountain men pretty much ended 20 years before with the collapse of western as well as the fashion market for this story supposedly takes place in just before the end of the civil war judging by the in the background of the opening scene probably the fictional was located somewhere in a remote section of the as we never see any other civilians however there is plenty of evidence that it actually takes place in the mountains of or montana red cloud the war chief who threatens the and soldiers in the is the of a very famous war chief who led a very successful campaign in to the newly built army in and montana eastern is mentioned as being not too far removed from the fictional the tribe of is mentioning as joining red cloud this aspect of the story then bears a general resemblance to historical fact br br it may be of interest to note certain between the plot of this story and that of john ford's in both cases we have a commander who was recently assigned to his first frontier post with native american problems he the military of his regarding them as little more than cannon fodder to promote his career in both films he pays for his in dealing with the enemy also in common the commander a who has long experience with the local native americans and wants to tell him what is wise to do and not to do in both films we have a budding romantic between a woman very close to the heart and a which the commander does everything to clearly the commander must be eliminated to allow these romances to proceed to br br i also see certain with the the soldiers as a whole including the commander are of a sort as one of them admits mostly they have problems or are raw with no experience fighting native americans the wife apparently is the only woman in or anywhere near this thus is a with a husband who is very uncertain of his future in the army the in turn are also not really wanting to accept army or discipline yet cut off from their previous free spirit lives by the recent army generated by red cloud br br finally we can also compare this story with anthony later film the far country starring jimmy stewart in stewart's case he can choose to return to being a loner cowboy at the end but character doesn't come up with an new way of being his own boss red cloud has made life outside of the army in this region too dangerous to contemplate besides he has an obsession with the wife,positive +i would have to say that in general movies have impressed me i have a 5 year old fanatic niece and she watches them all the time so needless to say i have seen quite a lot of these holidays but i am not sick of them br br this film visually has a lot to offer especially the backgrounds and the animation of the characters has improved with each new movie one thing i noticed in particular was a vast improvement in the animation of hair in this film it has a lovely range of from classical music and i think that this is great as it exposes a new generation to the classics this film is well worth ago especially if you have young they will be entertained for hours,positive +sometimes it is difficult to watch films with subtitles in this case danish but the watching is worth it as the story progresses the reasoning for the choice of two sisters to take care of their father is questionable but their society is different their choice leaves them alone until a french woman comes there may be a question on why the french woman came to their place to stay and this is never fully developed the feast which happens later as a result of unexpected from france is a source of unusual pleasure to all who attend and something they have not experienced before it provides a fitting thank you for the given to the guest filmed with a dark aura and the display of poverty it is a beautiful experience for the viewer,positive +is one of the greatest films ever made now i think paul is the greatest screenwriter of all time but i don't really like the films he's directed of what i've seen with the exception of this and but this is an amazing disturbing and highly 3 dimensional character study it follows the life of most celebrated writer combining the last day of his life with flashbacks and his stories i don't know how but paul manages to combine all of those in a very artistic way the acting is great so is the photography and a perfect score by philip glass although confusing the first viewing this is one of the few films that becomes with each viewing truly an underrated gem of a film,positive +i knew this would be one of the worst movies i could have imagined but in just 20 short minutes it actually my low by being possibly the worst movie i have ever seen br br i have already wasted too much time about it trust me it sucks,negative +let's begin by that there are arguably three types of horror films good bad and utterly embarrassing that make the entire genre suffer in every way dark promises big with its dvd cover but rest assured that is where the show stops following a opening montage we soon discover that the film consists of a very poorly written script extremely under even for a film acting disastrous lighting and even worse special effects seriously could no one afford anything more than a mask for the villain or did they just think it was good enough for jason and michael myers so it's good enough for us well it did not work at all to create a scary villain at any rate this is one of the movies that make you check your watch sigh and curse your own the timing in every scene is painful and the entire production has a middle school feeling to it come to think of it i have seen better middle school stage productions right down to the special effects i'm trying to think of some way to end this review on a positive note so let me suggest that all copies of this train wreck be as drink wind i'd say go see your yourself but that would just be cruel br br check out the rest of this production reviews and you'll find the same for every one of their movies they claim to honor the contract between film and audience i e please the fans but all they have done is chuckle and dumped a load on our heads for the cash of which i am sure they saw very little for this br br sorry people the high ratings and reviews are obviously posted by those either directly or connected to this travesty br br 1 star out of 10 because it is the lowest possible rating giving it even one makes me angry,negative +i watched this movie as a child and still enjoy viewing it every once in a while for the nostalgia factor when i was younger i loved the movie because of the entertaining storyline and interesting characters today i still love the characters additionally i think of the plot with higher regard because i now see the morals and symbolism is far from the worst film ever and though out dated i'm sure i will show it to my children in the future when i have children,positive +like most people out there who have watched james bond movies most people never knew that was originally the first movie to be released but after ian wrote the story with kevin and jack the 2 other authors took ian to court and won the case providing evidence that ian took the ideas of special executive in terrorism revenge so rather than making they went on to make dr no br br this movie had the best of the best from getting sean connery to come back one more time he was paid over 5 000 000 for and sean connery had problems on the set that much is true but overall this movie was up there i think with to kill dr no those are my favorite from the bond series david was hired for special effects he was working at the time on before never say never again the 100 million dollar makes the disco look like a this movie starred the best in a bond movie just behind dr no maria held together this neurotic business like calm manner with a little wit to his authority over bond barbara was excellent as br br the music was better than every score that didnt contain john barry doing the score music in most bond films michel is not big in the usa compared to over in europe he has played with miles davis and many other great jazz musicians over the years its a little bland at times but the theme that happens around 3 or 4 times in the movie never say never again is so cool i like it more than the original br br is back one more time br br timothy dalton explained it right i thought you cant relate to a superman or a superhero he or she has to be human and have feelings he was by far the best serious true to version of bond but sean connery proves he can still do the role that made him and others to follow i bet at 75 now he could still pull off a role in a movie if one ever br br,positive +hey remember when hal hartley was brilliant what a time that was i'd say the book of life was when things really started going downhill but i will say that at least he went from this one a movie that looks like it was filmed on someone's cell phone wouldn't have to be a bad thing if it was distinguished by an interesting story and dialog but alas those are missing along with hartley's spare quirky dialog in their place is tedious exposition on themes of christian end of times and a trite story of a modern jesus in a in a trying to be hip modern world where everyone looks like someone out of a hal hartley movie while it picks up a little in its second half it's never enjoyable or especially sensible what the hell happened to you hartley,negative +boring utterly predictable soap opera mary tyler moore is married to ted who's having an affair with christine moore is friends with and doesn't know about the cheating dies in an accident and is pregnant with his baby yawn br br i'm ashamed to admit i paid money to see this in a theatre in 1986 i liked all three stars but even their considerable talents couldn't pull this off i constantly knew what was going to happen like another poster said this plays like a pg rated lifetime movie br br it does have swearing at one point and even moore lets loose once also there's a pointless shots of topless women playing football other than that it's tv friendly the only good thing about this was timothy playing moore and teenage son very handsome and quite a good actor that aside there's nothing to recommend this you've seen it before and done better it's obviously been forgotten skip it,negative +one dark night is a in the 1980's low budget horror genre filled with retro clothing and scenery the viewer to a simpler time when horror films were just that horror br br nothing so intense that you can't understand whats going on the film tells a dark fable of what happens when you mess with the dead well acted by it's stable of scream queens and a fine directorial job by tom whom in the time and makes you believe what he's presenting there is no who done it and certainly no big twist at the end it is straight forward and in your face horror from beginning to end with a lot of 80's humor thrown in for added spice i give it 8 simply because some of the special effects fall short towards the end of the film but at least there is no cgi perfect film for new fans to the 1980's horror genre or anyone looking to re live a fun night of classic horror bliss,positive +this is the very la vague one of the best films of the new wave and i dare say one of the first ten ever made why the atmosphere the story the actors actress are all brilliant this is the theater a fairy tale the life the film paris thank you mr,positive +this is the most difficult movie i have ever seen the emotional content is horrific yet a woman who is accused of being a political is brought in for questioning the whole movie revolves around her alan and have intense and powerful roles for which they deserve oscars for their performances,positive +i really appreciate what won had done before his death everything i want to say that his choice for love is if he chose da that will be good for him but da will need more time to recover from his death obviously he does not want to let it happen as he did in the film he chose giving up so it was just temporary agony for da br br as comparison my life without me is very different their behavior shows big difference between eastern culture and western culture i cannot say which is better every one can has right to choose that is totally up to you life is equal for everybody we can live only once any choice is acceptable if only you think it is fit for you br br in truth the slow pace of the film cannot be the excuse for the movie just calm down you will get more from the movie br br one of the best korean movies i ever watched 9 10,positive +it does not surprise me that this short minutes b w movie that was made 50 years ago in the soviet union during the short period called or the has gained so much love and admiration among the movie lovers over the world it is sublime and beautifully filmed some scenes feel like there were made way ahead of their time camera work and creative were included in the text books and widely the film tells the moving and timeless story of love destroyed by war but alive in the memory of a young woman it is also the film about loyalty memories ability to live on when it seems there is nothing to live for it is about forgiveness and about hope the film received absolutely the grand at cannes film festival and was chosen as a of a special award at cannes for playing the young girl happily in love with the best man in the world in the beginning of the movie after with her beloved who went to the front the loss of her family in the bomb ride and the marriage to the man she never loved and only wished he never existed she turned to the shadow of herself she became dead inside her long journey to redemption to finally accepting death of her beloved and to learning how to live with it is a fascinating and heartbreaking one and it simply won't leave any viewer indifferent br br for me the movie is very personal and dear because i was born and grew up in the city where its characters lived and were so happy in the beginning i walked the same streets and bridges over the river every family in the former soviet union had lost at least one but often more than one family member to a combat or to the concentration camp or to the ghetto or to cold and during wwii and my family is not exception my mother and grandmother knew the horrors of war and never healing pain of not just from the movies and the books are flying speaks to me clearly and honestly and touches me very deeply it is a masterpiece of movie making but it is a part of my life my background my memory and my past,positive +br br as i am a teenager i have about one hundred years of movies to catch up on i try to see a mixture of classics mainstream art house and other movies the 70's is one of the most important decades for films it's when the average common classical films changed into full of messages and anti social behavior it became like nothing anyone had ever seen before what a decade under the influence basically shows is how important all of the movies from around the graduate to about star wars br br richard and the late ted are the primary in this documentary which interviews such people as dennis hopper francis ford coppola martin scorsese robert altman and jon voight among others about how those few years changed cinema forever it's a very professional polished documentary and it's even by films however as this is a very professional one i would think that they would at least edit out the noise of someone behind the camera laughing to me that took out a lot of how neat and clean the whole thing was br br on the other hand it's a very interesting documentary about film by the people who make it of course they aren't bashing their own films or anything of the like but they're portraying honesty on what they thought of the films and what they meant i don't know much about film but i want to be involved around it when i become an adult so i feel like to someone like me this movie is a huge asset i have seen a good number of movies that they mentioned like and one flew over the nest but a little more insight into those movies were very informative br br the main reason however i didn't love influence is as as it was edited it seemed to take its time in the beginning and be quite relaxed therefore not having enough time to get to everything that they wanted to show they in star wars and jaws in the last few minutes when they were two of the most important it seemed like they tried too hard to show lots of clips and that's fine but some of them were such as an extended one from network br br overall though influence is a very enthralling informative documentary that helped me at least learn more about a second golden in american cinema br br my rating 7 10 br br rated r for language and images of sexuality violence and drug use,positive +this working girls go to hell soap is a time capsule candidate courtesy of its physical production 50s look at all those and johnny theme song and oh so daring for its time sexual attitudes novel on which the film was based keeps on being and just a few years ago vanity fair actually devoted an article to this bon bon of a movie take a look at the new dvd transfer and you'll know why br br the three leads hope lange diane baker and parker echo the girls from how to marry a or carrie and her friends from sex and the city off on a spree their romantic adventures and sexual are the stuff of passion empty corn devoid of impossible to resist on lange is genuinely touching in her neo grace kelly way baker is properly dim and idealistic as a virgin who gets gasp knocked up by a it helps that the is played by robert evans the voiced coke film who surely has lead many an innocent young to the slaughter in his beverly hills bedroom br br parker is fascinating in the first half of the film all self and knowing remarks she her stuff with the of the fashion icon she was in the 50s alas she's not up to where the film sends her into madness and obsession but she exudes and and her acting is at least adequate one wonders why the critics her virtually driving her out of movies a few years later perhaps an attitude on the part of a good looking woman is just too much to bear it ali career a generation later and when you think of it ali and parker were basically the same actress br br the film's only major flaw is a weak ending it pretty much into a romantic at the end rather than rising to a bang melodramatic finish like the other famous soap opera from producer jerry place which had turner and her teeth during a rape trial here hope lange wanders out onto the new york sidewalk spots hung over but now of course sober stephen and they simply walk off together into the sunset one otherwise this is pretty much the definition of a guilty pleasure br br oh yes there's also joan crawford breathing fire at all the young girls and smoking while she to her married lover over the phone and the titles are done in hot pink with that recalls the department store ads of the late 50s don't miss,positive +me and a buddy rented this movie the other day at first look it seemed to be another teen movie which was also what we hoped for being fans of simple horror and comedy br br it seems that the movie is designed to disappoint the viewer as much as possible it quickly into something that holds a lot of potential unfortunately it never quite leaves the ground we had watched it for something that seemed like 1 hour when i finally half sleeping managed to say dude this movie sucks it was only 35 minutes actually dude agreed br br the problem is the movie is simply not funny it was undoubtedly supposed to be funny but it failed it failed in a way that made me sad it kind of reminds me of myself i had the potential to be anything i wanted and instead i ended up watching cheap horror funny movies all the time i pity the makers of this movie from the bottom of my heart its so sad all that potential and nothing,negative +there is the thrill of low budget film noir and there is the frustration of meandering uninteresting movies made on the cheap this one falls into the second category br br the spot is the name of a nightclub the film is about a policeman whose father has been killed by gangsters he heads out to track them down br br maybe it was the bad print maybe it's me but i felt i'd seen this a hundred times most of those times better than it is here br br it has promise too the cop is fascinated with a woman who plays records she introduces over boxes they then meet now though this was made well before i was born i have seen that kind of box and it is incredibly fascinating when i was a teenager i into a bar that still had such a device i always liked boxes in bars or but this one was different you talked to it and a sounding female voice talked back to you that is addressed here but dropped into the general uninteresting br br the movie has one thing going for it in a small role it features the very young anne what a beauty she was and still is,negative +wow that james looks exactly like thomas jane br br that's the most profound thought i took with me after having seen the rather george and the dragon for a fantasy comedy the story was very dull and the effects br br the problem wasn't the acting james makes a good knight and his various side kicks are not bad characters i even thought patrick in this role was a pretty good idea too flat also had some nice potential i even liked the kid br br but the story and everything that happens and the way it happens was just eh not interesting compared to another recent fantasy comedy ella enchanted which was actually funny this movie comes up terribly short i'm sorry for the decent actors who were in this yawn inducing br br 4 out of 10,negative +when going to see rendition i was expecting an exciting film on a controversial topic with big name actors i was not expecting a film that was so engrossing exciting poetic and sad that picked me up from the very beginning and didn't let me go even after i left the theater a word of advice to anyone who hasn't seen it yet don't let your politics come in the way of enjoying or not enjoying this film take it for what it is i saw this with my conservative jewish family i'm the black sheep the pseudo liberal college student and i thought they would write it off as liberal propaganda instead they said it was a great film with excellent performances they like to fancy themselves film critics br br it's sad that a movie like this has to be by its oscar actors while leaving out the constantly underrated as well as new talent like the truly excellent the entire cast gave good performances with some standing out much more than others my only problem with it was that there was a lot going on which didn't allow for much screen time for each of the characters in fact i felt like the sub plot with and was just as prominent on screen as part of the story br br the characters all have the potential to fall into stereotypes but the actors do a good enough job to give them depth with the little screen time they have streep is truly terrific as a heartless senator and as much as i don't want to see the actress in such a terrible role its impossible not to believe her who will probably be one of the oscar for this movie seems a bit unsure in his role at times trying to portray his inner conflict but usually just comes off like he either forgot his lines or he doesn't know how he should feel gave an excellent performance his unforgettable confrontation with streep is easily one of the best parts of the movie again was terrific and i hope to see him in more mainstream films it's a shame that with probably get nominated before him as shown on imdb has been is some films already but he is a newcomer in my eyes he along with and all gave great performances br br the story of and was not given any credit in commercials but it brings a sad humanity to the story the narrative was interesting as i was trying to really connect the two story until it was told to us at the end i've read some comments on here that say the love story was useless but i disagree i think it definitely shows another side to the controversial issue as well as humanity in general was the real terrorist but he was doing it to avenge his brother and even though he is responsible for the attack you see a side to him through the story with not that i think we should feel bad for actual terrorists but i think the we are all people theme was definitely relevant br br whatever your feelings on terrorism politics etc leave it out of the theater the bottom line is this is an interesting story with a message we all need to hear,positive +i had never read any of sarah novels or watched the i only heard about when i was flipping through the l word the storyline of interested me yet i passed it away thinking lesbian in victorian period that never ends well i have enough of those series and movies that go no where br br however during christmas my local dvd store gave a i brought the dvd and my life has never been more colourful br br this mini series deserves to be and praised the acting is so great that i call it rare sally cassidy rupert evans and many more that i can't name all brought light and darkness to their characters just by a little gesture a little look a little touch they made their characters real and as a viewer i couldn't help it but take them home keep them close br br sets in victorian area is a story of sue a thief who loves and lives with her family of pick little did she know that her fate is linked to lily a somewhat shy girl grows up in a mansion miles and miles away mother left her a fortune but herself can't touch it unless she married worst of all uncle makes sure she never will by keeping her in the house br br enter mr a charming good looking thief with a heart as bad as any he wants fortune for himself and in order to do so he sets sue up as maid asking sue to to with him as time goes by things would be simple if sue didn't fall in love with br br and things would be simple if the story was what i have just told i do not wish to spoil so i would like to stop there but i can you that everything is twisted and turned before you can even aware of what has happened once it happened you then question what would happen next on top of that the story is filled with passion unlike any others there are no self searching sexuality questioning oh my god do i like girls moments because the girls in are buried so deep in their own darkness that they barely be able to care the story with such twisted plot moves as smooth as water running but strangely calm br br weeks have passed since i watched yet eyes still haunt me and words still warm my heart you pearl you pearl you pearl she said and such pearl it is,positive +unusual film about a man who befriends his social opposite out of fear of blackmail peter boyle makes this film with his foul mouthed portrayal of a working class stiff joe in love with the past and of the future and worried about the present the first half hour of the show features the film debut of a young susan as melissa a weak rich girl who with her loser boyfriend with a full nude scene her boyfriend is the film's weak spot a poorly portrayed drug addict and dealer who meets his demise following we meet joe in a bar as he off and about crime hippies and drugs and it is easy to see that the later norman television character of is based on a up version of joe the comparison even carries over into wife and personal life and joe himself into the life of bill father and the two make an unlikely pair as they search for melissa who has run away from drug treatment and back to the drug she calls friends their search leads them to an gee as joe calls it a free love fest by drugs a lot of nudity and surprisingly uptight bill and ultra conservative joe both join in they get robbed and this leads to a violent and murderous ending that the stark and chilling ending to taxi driver six years later joe is a funny film that on the surface at least is anti violence and anti racist yet the film's main character joe becomes the very of the he fears when he enters and joins in the illegal and sexual he against so in that respect the film falls short of being a powerful message and leaves you wondering what the final outcome really was all about,positive +12 17 all i can do with this film is on my impressions i wasn't given the changes don't know the score and am not in the genre i always had problems following changes anyway player so i was pretty well limited to doing the basic keep the tune in mind and ad around that what me up about this incredibly moody black and white blues piece was the it gave me in my head and heart in trying to figure out whether to go with the ensemble or pick out a path along the tune story i guess i went with the tune as usual i kept getting lost on the changes too deep extensive over my head probably still it was a gas to try to keep pace i admired the actors' playing to the theme and story line i didn't see some things or things others seem to i didn't feel the light skin gal was trying to pass as much as she was either oblivious to the color issue or was trying to ignore it at first later she came back fighting the brooding light skin young man his ludicrous was ambiguous and perhaps his best feature remote what i thought after the shadow curtain closed on this provocative piece is the foundation of a thing like this is it a way of finding reality by setting up a stage it with characters and giving them a melody and theme is it any more real or truthful than a well crafted script without the benefit of editing and is heroic than crafted work where is there greater or truth in art craft or in and well i am still lost in this question i loved the film it got me lost in a cool blue evening where i just had to go home and get out my horn guess what i broke out in a twelve bar blues riff tried and true couldn't make myself stray from the tune reality is just too scary says give them a 7 and more i'm on break,positive +i've seen several stage and film adaptations of alice in wonderland and this one has to take the cake as the absolute worst my family bought the dvd and couldn't even make it through the first half i later went back and forced myself to watch the whole thing it had been a christmas gift to me and was just appalled br br the only redeeming factor and it's hardly redeeming enough to save the whole show is mark lin baker playing the mock turtle with a accent it's one of the few moments in the piece that has some real charm and can be taken somewhat seriously other than that the songs are half songs the are half and even meryl streep cannot make this direction look good,negative +what an atomic bomb of a movie the story goes nowhere and comes nowhere it leaves the theatre goer with ones arm up saying is this it what happened to redford he was once a fair actor now he thinks that he can show up on the set and make a few scenes and it's a take wrong what an film i don't mean to be so so cruel but what crap of a movie unbelievable amateur crap if i was in this movie i would be so that i would not show my face i tell you what if i was associated with this movie i am in big trouble this movie will go down in the of movie making as the king of bombs with which all others will be compared to,negative +the is a very worthwhile addition to recent re releases from the soviet union director 1977 film the moral of and honor in german occupied russia during the second world war on foot and in a two members of a soviet group leave to locate supplies and are captured by nazi soldiers the focus of the movie is on how each man handles or his moral one chooses dignity and integrity while the other for collaboration with the enemy however in the end he cannot by his selfish decision the film makes much use of slow wide angle pans which shift to extreme closeups and highlight the spiritual within the souls of each man this is not a great film but it does effectively portray an intense moral dilemma against the backdrop of a harsh and soviet wilderness,positive +at one time buddy movies ruled the box office it seemed that every summer of beverly hills cop on our theaters not any more lately the has to barely a the has a bit recently with the release of showtime a movie that is a genuinely funny and consistently entertaining example of the genre br br mitch preston is a dedicated cop he's not a dirty harry type by any means he's just incredibly focused professional who's completely of anything that gets in the way of the performance of his say a t v cameraman mitch deals with the cameraman in a socially irresponsible way and so falls into the of chase a producer looking for a killer hook for her reality t v ' cop show she thinks that mitch will give her the boost it needs to be a hit but feels he may be too unlikable to carry the whole show by himself enter a actor who's watched way too many police story re runs of course mitch and mix like oil and water and much merry mayhem ensues br br we know that mitch and are bound to become best buddies by the end of the movie that's the way buddy cop movies are suppose to work in fact it has to be said that showtime rarely from the time clichés as by lethal weapon and tango cash there's a high tech to get the ball rolling in this case an automatic rifle that fires rounds big enough to stop tanks there's a slick foreign with an accent of origin there are chases and explosions we all know this going in and we have a pretty fair idea how it's all going to turn out you know what there's nothing wrong with that yes we know the well worn are going to be touched but the fun here is the trip not the destination showtime doesn't strain to be original instead its are into its characters and humorous situations as a result showtime does a competent job with the action sequences but really shines in its comedy br br robert de niro is funny as mitch in the past i've thought de niro to be a cold and actor given horribly to when called upon to do comedy lately though he's grown on me he seems to be more humanity into his roles eddie murphy is hilarious as the best way to describe his performance is that is what murphy would be if murphy weren't so talented and hadn't hit the big time russo has a time playing mouthed show shark chase she stalks through the movie chasing high ratings with awe inspiring determination in her she re life to make it more camera friendly she even calls upon t j hooker himself william shatner to show mitch how be a more cop shatner is funny playing himself precisely as we expect him to be loud oblivious and slightly obnoxious br br i have to admit i was really looking forward to showtime and i wasn't disappointed ten years ago this movie would have been a guaranteed hit today it's doing business at best that's a pity because showtime is a whole lot of fun,positive +this is a candidate for worst films i've ever seen it wanted to be as shocking as silence of the but has neither the style nor the wit of the aforementioned the make up is excellent the acting is pretty good but the story seems to drag on for years and the murders are so gruesome that they're more disturbing than entertaining,negative +death bed the bed that eats br br judging from the title you can guess what this movie is about and yet there is a lot more background story to this film then one might suspect br br okay so the main plot is about a bed eating people and food but there are also a few subplots i won't spoil them for you but they're a nice touch br br sadly the acting in this movie is very mediocre the fact that most dialog is not even spoken by the actors doesn't really help to improve the quality of the movie as a whole br br because there is a lot of voice over work the thoughts of characters are also revealed to the sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't br br the effects are fine sure it could be a lot better if you compare it with today's movies but you really shouldn't just judge the movie as it is and don't take it too seriously you have to admit that a killer bed is quite creative if you are easily don't watch this movie you might never want to sleep again br br death bed the bed that eats is a strange horror gem with a low budget but i'd still recommend it to fans of horror movies br br in conclusion i give this movie a 7 out of 10 stars for it's creative story and unexpected twists here and there,positive +impressive vision indeed and some hot chicks with swords flying around oh and those hypnotic chinese too let me think tiger hidden dragon br br i kinda liked with its down to earth simplicity and well developed characters that still left enough room for you to enjoy the vision without having to think about the meaning of it br br hero on the other hand is painfully pretentious and demanding both visually and the larger than life moral was horrible i mean sacrifice your life sacrifice your beliefs sacrifice your love so that your mighty nation can succeed wtf br br no thanks br br but and g w b would be proud br br,negative +it is a strangely powerful and moving experience to see the english patient again after anthony death most of his body of work is dedicated to one shattering point the endless moral struggle of those who walk a very thin line in the talented mr moves away from patricia amoral tom to give the murderer a conscience in breaking and entering gives jude character the need to confess and the are moving here in the english patient the characters in love are never too far away from their feeling of guilt ralph and scott thomas are extraordinary they strip their characters from every in a compelling with us the audience juliette is quite simply spectacular and her scenes with the wonderful andrews are filled with a sensual innocence anthony gave us films that were one way or another that mix of art and he was true to himself but thought about his audience he knew how to push our buttons without his own there is something clear honest and startling about i miss him already but i'm grateful for the reflection of his soul he left behind,positive +i saw this movie on the shelf at blockbuster and thought it looked cool the dvd case so many great actors and i wondered to myself why have i never heard of this movie then i turned over the case and saw the director lee and thus the answer began to explain itself br br first of all i want to defeat the idea that a great cast equals a great movie but more importantly i think i should explain why this movie is so terrible okay the script is awful and full of one dimensional characters this is the worst role i've ever seen play and i'm surprised he would do something this ridiculous however under appreciated yet talented actors must earn their money plays a one dimensional police detective who comes off about as dumb as a c movie mob henchman him along with the lead detective the poorly directed nolte the great but simple michael madsen and the late chris penn whose role along with was completely thrown away make up an elite squad of la detectives to rid the city of sometime in the late 30s or 40s the movie introduces this squad as cops who will break every law to make sure those who think they're above the law don't operate in their city at the beginning of the film the cops rough up a local restaurant grab an alleged mobster william peterson and take him to a place they call the falls they toss him off one of the on drive and this is supposed to demonstrate how serious these guys are about the city of crime whatever this was nothing more than a cheap excuse to use a crappy title that's designed to make you think of la and its famous sites somewhere later on they find the dead body of jennifer and the plot begins br br on to the direction which was nothing short of amateur and weak aside from the fact that the characters were b movie quality the overacting by those such as treat williams the guy who plays the chief of police and the awful daniel baldwin are just a few highlights that made this movie seem like it was lee first film there's not one good performance in the movie aside from maybe griffith who some might argue was the worst in the movie she won a for this film in the end it was her character that was not that great and she really didn't have much to work with br br as with any bad movie it all begins with the writing and this script was no gem plot is simply on the basis of setting up the next scene and never takes into consideration characters' motivations the way the characters was unbelievable cops taking the law into their own hands is believable within the right circumstances see la but in this case it looked like these guys could get away with anything including murder and never bat an eye about cleaning anything up i guess we as an audience are just supposed to assume that no one saw anything and that people won't ask questions everything about the story is predictable and is fed so well that we understand everything that's going to happen a good while before the characters do however it doesn't make us feel smart but rather makes us angry at how stupid the hero is despite the fact that there aren't any heroes in this movie br br in the end the best of the movie was the great score by david from the beginning it a since of which quickly faded when i realized how unbelievable just about everything in the film was it didn't surprise me to learn that it made a eleven million in the box office what i will say is that this film is worth watching for a few laughs nick acting is like an dog and i laughed every time he tried to be serious i also nearly fell on the floor at each of the slow motion shots used in the film i think there are three with one during a key fight scene when you have to use slow motion in the heat of a dramatic moment you clearly have some problems so even with my negative criticism i will recommend this movie solely for the purpose of laughter that is if you appreciate the good movies like la,negative +i looked forward to seeing this movie because the trailer made it look so cool but the fact is that this movie is boring and totally muddled there is no plot and half the movie is fast flashing shots from football games in shots that gives you no of the games i was constantly looking at the to see when the movie was over br br there's only one good thing about this movie the sound the soundtrack is awesome don't expect anything from this movie,negative +i honestly can't believe that this film isn't more highly rated claude could be described as something like a french alfred hitchcock and while this film is only the second one of his that i've seen the first being le i can already see that this guy is something special just on the strength of these two films the film is a french and canadian co production and takes place in canada the cast is made up of british and canadian stars and the high quality performances well with the rest of the film most of which is high quality also the film is a murder mystery and begins when a young girl covered in blood is brought into a police station after being by inspector it emerges that the young girl patricia and her sister muriel were attacked by a man who killed the sister and only just allowed patricia to flee however as the investigation goes on patricia goes back to the station to give new evidence which reveals a far more shocking identity to the murderer br br the performances in this film are excellent donald sutherland is subdued as usual but he suits the role he's given here very well and i wouldn't hesitate to name his performance in blood relatives as one of his very best the film also features supporting turns from british stars donald and david who both give good turns in particular who shows just how great an actor he can be and highlights what a shame it is that he went on to waste himself in halloween films the unknown also gives a great performance in her role as patricia the movie is very mysterious for the first hour and really keeps the audience hooked when inspector discovers diary the film turns into more of a drama in which the girl's last actions are shown and while this section of the film is not as good as what went before it it's still interesting and leads into a great twist at the end overall blood relatives is a great film that really deserves to be better seen le is a better known effort from but for my money this is at least as good highly recommended viewing,positive +how do stories this bad get made that's not a question it is a statement br br here are my problems with the film br br 1 much of the story development was predictable and boring my emotions ran pretty much in a flat line throughout there wasn't really much to draw the viewer into the film br br 2 the characters were decidedly one was a another was confusing and the third was pretty damned boring there was absolutely zero reason to be drawn to these people even though i knew it wouldn't happen i kept hoping that they would run into someone else someone more interesting br br 3 the physical environment was uncomfortable for me a trailer in the desert the desert is a place that most people would prefer not to visit how is it that these three people end up in the desert br br 4 and in the same desert did the writer really expect me to believe that the last three people on earth would manage to find each other within the span of a few weeks out in that desert br br 5 was it really necessary for ms ryan to be in two scenes that required a hey she looks great but it was pretty gratuitous br br okay so if i thought it was so bad why did i give it a 3 i am trying to be as objective as possible even though i found alan annoying i have to say that david did a very credible job of portraying a neurotic nerd the character reminded me of a few of albert brooks more annoying roles ryan tried to do something with sarah but it just wasn't written very well okay so she was supposed to be a confused dysfunctional woman but why what did it add to the story her mood left me feeling like i was being hard one way and then another and then another br br i don't often walk out on films but this one had me it several times stiff predictable boring proceed at your own risk br br my 2 cents,negative +unless you're interested in seeing 2 hours worth of mountain footage featuring hysterical characters lots of and cheap 70s gore not much of it either i would advise to avoid this movie it is long overlong and has a rather annoying amateurish feel to it masterpiece no an average thriller shot in an average fashion in a gorgeous italian landscape br br i'm a huge fan of slow paced 1970 movies when there is a plot to delight and entertain you in this case it didn't work out for me the plot is trite with superficial and stereotypical characters backed by hilarious angry and your typical italian widow dressed all in black br br if you are not and familiar with the italy country side the movie might be worth seeing as the scenery itself is spectacular and rather breathtaking this movie isn't however nothing out of the ordinary there are much better italian horror flicks than this not much else than a yawn fest 5 10,negative +starts in present as four dean richard ray richard jeffrey douglas junior jason jones are about to the electric to an building for as they search for the relevant stuff they come across a set of doors that according to the buildings blue shouldn't be there being all that they force the doors open to have a look find a room full of computers scientific as they mess around with some buttons a to a parallel universe opens dean junior accidentally in with ray following soon after in search of their friends unfortunately they've all ended up in an exact parallel earth that has been taken over by a mutant spider thing that either eats people or turns them into mutant soldiers with which she uses to protect herself do whatever she wants them to really in a desperate for survival they team up with a few of the last remaining humans including the original of the dr richard colin fox who says that with the help of our boys he might yeah might be able to build another to take them back home br br edited directed by david wu i thought was pretty crap it's as simple straight forward as that really the script by case robinson young is preposterous to say the least has plot holes in it you could drive a tank through for instance is this film really trying to suggest that a few mutant spider things no bigger than a couple of people in size took over an entire world how did they do this if this parallel earth was the same as where the hell was the army the police all of our weapons a few fragile looking spider things against literally of humans the whole flawed stupid downright concept constantly me throughout the entire film lets not forget that there is a inter dimensional to a parallel earth in the basement of most buildings that have sat there for decades remain in perfect working order right then there's the nuclear the size of a the fact one can make it work perfectly purely by accident as he randomly a few buttons in a room that probably had spread over dozens of pieces of equipment what about the wonderfully thoughtful guy who sets an explosive bobby trap in his base without telling anyone what if one of his mates had set it off found themselves blown to pieces by their mates bomb you wouldn't be best pleased would you what about food do they grow their own in little i could go on on all day long about how flawed ill conceived poorly written is but i can't be bothered the character's are clichéd annoying as is the film as a whole which obviously doesn't help the only half decent thing i can say about is that it's short it moves along at a fair pace but when all said done it's still crap br br director wu has to take a large of the blame here for a start the film looks cheap the editing that he is credited with is terrible there's lots of annoying inappropriate slow motion shots that come from nowhere the action scenes are almost identical become incredibly boring very quickly he uses that highly annoying quick cut technique along with a bit of the old jerky camera movement now i don't know about anyone else but i hate this editing style as it just looks a complete incoherent mess in fact i don't know a single person who does like this sort of thing i'm puzzled as to why filmmakers think people do forget about any gore just a few shotgun wounds to the spider zombie soldier guys they don't have red blood anyway so it doesn't relate to reality in my mind br br was made for tv the american sci fi channel i think it looks every bit as cheap low budget rushed as you would expect it's all so bland forgettable flat dull the special effects are far from special the spider thing lacks imagination when finally revealed the acting was ok considering everything else was so poor i still can't believe the was wearing in this br br is crap i can't really say anything good about it other than i've sat through worse films that's the sole reason i'm not giving it 1 star a quick glance at the imdb user ratings for what i already knew in that it has more votes than any other there is very good reason why,negative +mickey rourke is enjoying a renaissance at the moment and fair play to him i always liked his image and his acting ability in such fare as angel heart and johnny handsome you know what you are going to get with rourke mean moody dirty but this film gives you much more and you don't want most of it br br first and foremost this whole thing just doesn't make sense rourke is a hardened ira killer who after killing a bus load of ireland for london he is on the run from the cops and from his own army he has also to never kill again it looks like the bus full of kids finally did it for him br br however when he gets to london he is down by a local mobster bates looking like his and hair came straight off a to kill his main in turn for 000 and a boat trip to the us rourke reluctantly agrees to do it but is seen by a priest and the crime to him in the in order to keep the mouth shut he figures it is better than killing him br br a wealth of things here which just don't add up br br 1 why pick rourke to off your competition as is illustrated by a scene an employee is to a wall by a couple of with what look like these london guys are tough enough anyway to do their own killing br br 2 not only that but the mobster gets a guy to follow rourke and witness the killing with his own eyes why didn't that guy simply kill the and save all the of dealing with rourke br br 3 sees the murder take place and the police let him go off without protection i may add to take confession no way br br 4 rourke hangs around the church right next to where he carried out the murder immediately after the crime takes place to go to confession why aren't the cops checking the place out br br 5 rourke hangs around the church and blind niece in particular for days afterward without anybody bothering him what he's on the run and he stays put by the very place where he committed another murder stupid br br 6 the cops actually meet rourke in the church the and have no idea who he is do they not know he is on the run for the school bus bombing they don't even check up on him br br 7 why get rourke to kill for you and then tell him to wait around for a few days to get on the boat you'd think you'd want to get rid of him immediately or kill him one or the other br br 8 why does brother suddenly decide to rape the blind niece in the midst of all the waiting could he not himself for a few days at least until rourke has been safely to the states ridiculous br br 9 rourke suddenly has inner turmoil after all his years of killing and wins over the blind niece immediately even after she knows he is a killer she still loves him again utterly ludicrous and besides she falls in love with him in record time a few days br br 10 the whole bomb thing at the end is just plain silly from point of view br br 11 things happen in parts of this film that just do not make sense or are simply in there to help the storyline and i say that in along houses rourke in a until the boat is ready to and rourke suddenly displays a moral high ground to respect the whore in the house but yet will bed a blind girl br br 12 rourke asks a henchman on the boat where bates is and the henchman practically out the entire movements of his boss in less than 10 seconds it was embarrassing the guy was telling rourke far more than he even asked br br 13 priest is an ex army guy and we see him beat up three henchmen behind a pub totally for and yet another cringe worthy scene br br i'm gonna stop there at unlucky 13 without mentioning hair so red it is laughable his accent which to be fair is not too bad sometimes but to a barely heard at other times his clothes walk looks to the heavens etc nor will i mention the music and the choppy editing style br br i have just mentioned them br br overall a disaster of a film with some obvious religious imagery thrown in rourke on the cross preaching from a which would embarrass a first year film student never mind a top star and director br br 4 10,negative +tries so hard tries to be light hearted tries to be a comedy tries to be a love affair let's see it tries to be a girl by way of 'the by way of happened one by way of a dozen sports movies alas trying isn't doing and the movie is as as the last field br br a fan of movies would watch the big fight scene in the between the and some soldiers and realize that the fights that john ford staged with such style and and humor in movies like 'the quiet man' or or 'the may have seemed easy to do but obviously aren't i would bet george clooney thought john ford would be easy as well how hard could it be run amok punches broken over heads an piano player just put it up there on the screen with some happening music sorry it takes a master to make fight scenes flow br br movies aren't wished into existence humor is hard romance is hard slapstick a lost art br br i once read that you never wanted to sit too close to a ballet performance something about not wanting to the fantastic bubble of the performance by hearing the of the feet or the of the lifts this movie is like that all strain and good intentions handsome actors nice sets but it through its rather than like the original ghost red who the movie is loosely based on,negative +the basic plot of boasts of a romantic comedy the film industry is kept as a backdrop an american actress played by ali carter gets stuck in india worse that she is out of money she then decides to play a small role in a bollywood musical so that she can earn enough money to get back to her nation here she gets to meet indian choreographer played by salman khan basically the movie fails at the script level just by calling a film a hollywood venture doesn't guarantee quality cinema stands out as the best example the art direction is weak and outdated turns out to be a dud is far from being acknowledged as a decent hear salman delivers of his most amateurish performances till date ali is good and has immense screen presence performance wise too she is good br br one can also find good reviews regarding this movie at http www net films id,negative +i remember running home from school almost every day to catch channel 5 monster movies but never did i run home faster then when this movie was somehow the idea of being a boy and having a giant robot as a friend to me in a very unique way sure i to be batman and other but i really wanted to be johnny over any of them br br i have not seen this movie in 30 years and i can still remember it vividly who can forget the way giant robot shot out of his fingers or how about the way threw his to make explosions i can even still the theme music that plays at the end which is so tragic that i remember crying myself to sleep a number of times br br only one other movie has the kind of magic that this movie does in my mind and that is the wizard of oz but i have seen that movie many times since i was a kid of course the wizard of oz is a true classic whereas voyage into space is low budget nonsense these two films shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence but to a young boy it isn't high production values or continuity that capture your heart its flying monkeys and giant robots br br p s my cousin use to do a very accurate impression of giant robot he it giant if you recall giant robot had a particular way of shooting his and my cousin had it down cold i made him repeat the routine endlessly for my personal amusement,positive +ever watched something so awful you just have to keep watching to be sure it really is as bad as it looks this is one of those films it was by the critics on it's release not least for the way it was i caught it on tv last night and gave in to curiosity br br in the event it is what it says on the box no more nor less low level humour very much in the on ' vein but with language indeed it back to the 60s 70s uk porn industry cheating by promising real sex and not delivering spot the that whole era is lovingly here but with modern cinematography br br it has the benefit of crook the office pirates of the and much more and also johnny vegas the chip shop girl is genuinely sexy beyond these unexpected it does leave me wondering what happened to england junk food low paid work desperate lives as a bonus there are some nice shots of might find it informative about british attitudes and aspirations overall though i still feel disbelief that i sat through it,negative +i hope from his seat on comedic throne spike can see and can enjoy this film as ryan and ken have taken a book that the author himself said writing it nearly turned me mad into a joy to watch br br the film tells the story of the irish town of and the problems upon it when the between northern ireland and the republic is drawn up cutting its way through the centre of the village and more through the middle of the this causes some deceased buried in the catholic to now be in the north and so the local priest by a wide variety of eccentric locals aims to move the bodies back undercover of darkness and so avoiding the british border guards br br it was inspired work to cast the irish comedian and poet sean hughes to play the part of he brings an innocence to the part especially in his to camera pieces which is normally where he with the of richard attenborough playing supposedly the writer director of the film playing father is also worthy of considerable praise and the rest of the cast from the household names like elliott and rhys jones to people with what would normally be called such as daughter jane who plays wife give 100 the credit for this goes in no small part to the wonderful given by spike in the original book br br i could argue that the film is slightly too long or that elliott irish accent left a little to be desired but those would be only minor points and take nothing away from the excellence of this film,positive +the film is annoying br br technically there are too many times you see and very roughly edited scenes one could easily get a film using a decent amateur camera and 100 video editing down to earth man on the street doesn't mean sloppy editing scenes that don't contain important statement should have been deleted the same goes for making sure that the head hand others stay in the frame my 8 years old son knows that by now br br the film is way too long the main point anti is understood after 30 minutes why bother with all the rest after the interview with james i pressed the stop button what a of time br br the main theme just doesn't work for me anymore i've seen too many small which produce mediocre and many big that produce great and unique the movie the small producers as the ones that are producing with more identity or the bigger ones are accused of producing or the film is trying to make a black and white statement in a world full of gray tones however the movie hasn't proved this claim they look at a couple of examples tie some of the big producers with and provided interviews with key people well did all the small producers spent wwii in the resistance is it relevant to see that parker has a thing with the movie is very manipulative and unconvincing,negative +i am a german student so sorry for eventually mistakes i'm working on it br br the very interesting converted and with effective sound effects action of the drama in no way from the horrible bad actors and unnatural moves and expressions of feelings and makes so the relatively weird and senseless story less better just the typical slasher genre with in this case very odd action many by plays destroy partly the main story and let the viewers up to the end into the dark create weirdness and let the senses of actions and the point mere for sure its an hit for slasher fans but not for me but although the interesting style of cinematography and use of light is turned out well br br so not the best one,negative +certainly an unbelievably cartoon drawn in a deliciously way and in almost any respect takes place in a kingdom ruled by a mean and the kingdom or at least what we surroundings of the king's palace seems devoid br br a few inhabitants there from the the underground city br br an it an allegory call it a only do not call it a fable br br because imdb encourages and maybe for other reasons as well i will add that this cartoon is the work of the great paul,positive +having seen documentary on visconti i was bound to higher expectations before watching this film made three years later by adam low but the viewer like me did get i faced a need for critical opinion which i generally don't like giving due to the fact there are no documentaries that will satisfy every viewer there are also no documentaries that will examine a theme totally but when i read the reviews already written on this title i also felt a bit confused people sometimes don't know what to criticize therefore to be clear i'll this film into two major parts that considerably the former one about visconti before his director's career and latter one about visconti the director br br the background all the the wealth that young experienced and enjoyed are clearly presented his effort in horse racing is mentioned as well as his relation with his mother so much disturbed after his parents' divorce we also get a very accurate idea of where was brought up as a real count of in with with access to everything in true for instance his father's splendid villa at and other marvelous prove that there is also an emphasis on crucial visit in paris in the 1930s where he met people left who later had impact on his style and message in art that clearly explains the idea of a communist with the upbringing a contrast at first sight br br however the part about his director's career which started with ossessione during wwii and ended with just before the director's death in 1976 is poorly executed his movies are not discussed well why because there are very few people who really have something to say franco the director remembers the works on la and that is all right there are also some interviews with franco but later such movies like la la a or are mostly discussed by although i liked the actor in the role of i did not like the interviews of his moreover some thoughts he reveals are not accurate to in such a documentary there is no mention of significant works of visconti like conversation piece there are no interviews with cast burt a mention about and schneider should also be made there is one footage interview with maria that appears to be interesting but that is only a short bit franco though i appreciate him as a director makes fun of it all rather than says something really precious for instance he mentions the event how visconti separated from him after years of service therefore i say and br br what i find a strong point here are footage interviews with visconti himself as a result we may get his own opinion about his works for instance i very much appreciate the words he says about death regarding it as a normal chapter of life and as natural as birth itself he also his health problems after the stroke while filming br br i believe it is better to see visconti 1999 by than this doc although it is shorter and as a whole you will get a better idea of the director visconti would be furious about that and the fury of his usually turned people's emotions and into stone 4 10,negative +as an american fan of the league of gentlemen i had to wait months to finally see this film when it came out on dvd but it was well worth the excruciating wait apocalypse is fantastic funny freaky clever as hell full of in jokes and references to the television series basically everything you'd expect from the gentlemen br br the plot has already been discussed in other reviews so i won't bother re it although i will say when i first read it i was a bit obviously this device fictional characters entering the real world to confront their makers has been used before notably in wes craven's underrated new nightmare and stephen king's dark tower books where king himself was a character the gentlemen have fun breaking the fourth wall though and even add a new element a second fictional world them days soon all three realities have together and the result is being in the middle ages and trying to court queen victoria wood the real league of gentlemen in being confronted by characters like pauline and dr david warner an outside of church i've heard that some people disliked the king's evil sub plot but i found it hilarious especially character who seemed to be the witch from series three br br speaking of the characters i was to find that although and were planted firmly in at the film's core other more familiar characters were given their due in the beginning was hilarious back to the more sketch oriented feel of the first series pauline and mickey have cameos no ross though strange although i would've loved seen more of ms campbell jones is for as are and edward all three are used very giving their screen time an almost magical feel and just what the hell did hack up like an obscene according to the dvd commentary a of hair br br the film looks incredible but then what's new the music as always is breathtaking i was thrilled to hear new interpretations of the theme music and his slight re working of the lovely piece that out both apocalypse and the last episode of series three br br i have some minor complaints it would have been nice to see more of the old familiar and i felt the stop motion creatures beautiful by the way were a bit underused both of these issues however can be justified by the film's budget so they're understandable still as much as i loved new church it would have been cool to see the final battle in the high street the original vision according to the commentary br br overall apocalypse is astounding especially if you're a fan of the series i can't recommend it highly enough 10 10,positive +on the of being somehow i stayed just slightly interested but was it because i truly wanted to know what the secret was which i should say is pretty damned obvious or because i hoped scarlett johansson would put on a more sexy outfit this movie is poor and what's more it's a disgrace to all the lonely alcoholic southern literature out there travolta wants his oscar so bad he is willing to cry in the bathroom after blood sorry pal you were more believable is staying alive not everyone can pull a peter fonda in gold if you want the against type brave anti hero oscar you have to um actually act not just on screen stop this director before he she name is vague on gender directs again,negative +boogie nights follows a theme that is extremely familiar to gangster films although it doesn't fit into that genre itself the rise and the fall we see the rise of several individuals some of them from complete obscurity to achieving great heights and then falling from grace due to their br br i believe that this is the first feature by writer director paul thomas anderson and it's a great start i saw elements of other influences such as robert altman but the film holds its own in originality and plot development br br character development is the movie's finest feature i really identified with all of the characters and felt their pain and their success with them all of the performances were brilliant it was especially good to see a small part performed by real life porn veteran nina hartley br br basically this film combines comedy and tragedy with the result being one of the best films of 1997 which was at the oscars probably due to the as they would say subject matter and the general of the academy,positive +if you like shore you'll love son in law if you hate shore then well i liked it,positive +spoiler warning br br i got this on dvd at christmas 2004 i had to see it and was by no means disappointed the score is memorable my br br favourites were the theme song and the winters coming song the effects were dazzling you could almost believe they were there you actually learn something too may have been able to their with blood female t might have gone on a killing spree before laying their eggs i know there's a lot of people who thought this was based too much on but there will always be questions that we can only guess at and there is a lot of hard core fact as well we know that some dinosaurs in we know that stones to up in their despite this the series did extremely well so well in fact that it a a prequel and several if you're a fan then this is for you it makes jurassic park look small and,positive +forgettable pilot that never really explains why is really important to the plot of this movie but rob plays a a hunky cop who happens to be for some reason and who battles time travelling medieval monks that run around with guns and set people on fire to start the apocalypse oh yeah there's also a sexy fbi agent who happens to be a and is trying to get rob to

has an example of a young woman placed in extraordinary circumstances finding the courage to do the right thing in the face of extreme danger,positive +i love b movies but i like to be aware from the beginning that i'm watching one i can't believe someone could mess up a movie about aliens and so bad br br aliens and predator are awesome this movie made a big joke out of them the creators didn't take this movie seriously at all i am disappointed in how the handled this film they made a mockery of amazing characters it's like they were trying to be serious in the beginning then their writers got high and gave up almost nothing was continuous the main characters were awful and were not aliens or i am so ridiculously sad that no one takes alien and seriously anymore these characters are icons of american pop culture and the creators of this movie showed no respect to the original films they should not be allowed to cash in on the names of the previous films and they should be ashamed

advertising but black culture the dynamics in hollywood's portrayal of race the elite white power structure and character of corruption in any power struggle as and ambitious as to be it qualifies as a terrible film made on a shoe string budget with a no name cast and humor that lacks hilarity everything about this movie with up controversy during its initial release with its politically incorrect handling of race issues and culture like most marx brothers movies the plot is thin providing an excuse for gags most of which are terrible br br the of a madison ad agency dies during a board meeting

minute comedy are the television commercials shot in color unfortunately downey doesn't know when to cut off these ads that consistently start out cleverly but wear out their welcome the funniest part

same check this one out although the movie ends without much resolution the hilarious one liners peculiar situations and quirky characters are sure to satisfy,positive +the original road house is by no means an award winning film but it is one of the great guilty pleasures of all time it shouldn't have been that hard to make a sequel there's no need for a big budget big name stars and spectacular visual effects even the story didn't have to be original all it needed was a good time vibe and some great fist fights i don't mean matrix style wire fu just some well choreographed lots of them there are a couple of decent fights in the movie but none of them are memorable and the focus is more on gun play plus the way it ties in to the original film is laughable on insulting plays an undercover agent who is good with his hands and feet but here's the he's the son of patrick character dalton say what let's see the original road house was made in 1989 so for dalton to have a son in his late maybe even 30 in 2006 well you get the idea they give it a cheesy explanation that he lived with his uncle will while his father around a lot oh please that itself almost this movie off but i is completely out of his element sure he can throw a couple of kicks but he's got nothing going on as an actor plus he's referred to in the movie by the bad guys as pretty boy i've never men that closely but i don't think this guy is too good looking he looks sick his face is way too thin and his eyes make it look like he's going to pass out at any moment i'd never heard of him before but i think he should give up acting and go back to his day job jake busey plays the local drug runner wild bill busey is not a terrible actor he was good in starship troopers and even made a menacing villain in 2 but here he just the scenery in standard bad guy mode even his dialog is yawn worthy we're supposed to buy him as the man that has the whole town in his pocket but why what does he do because he wants to buy a bar from by any means necessary ellen has the token girlfriend role a woman with a secret too bad that secret is about as difficult to figure out as 2 2 she's the local school teacher who happens to be a former army soldier guess what that means it means that while she may with fear for the majority of the movie she'll be ready to smash heads when the fur starts to fly oh well at least she's hot actually the fight between her and wild girl is the best one in the movie it's fast brutal and entertaining which leads me to my next problem with the movie the fights as i said knows how to throw a punch the same can't be said for anyone he faces in the movie obviously the movie will all come down to versus busey busey is an actor not a fighter he doesn't possess the skills to pull of a movie fight may have been a trained dancer but his athletic ability gave him the means to pull off well choreographed fights he also faced a couple of worthy opponents and had one killer literally move none of that here with a couple of exceptions the fights are forced poorly staged and routine the punches sound like someone a on the and there's even a couple of parts where the sound doesn't even match up to the punch it's embarrassing there isn't even the good southern redneck music of the original road house had the jeff band who were a somewhat popular band at the time this movie features a singer called john otto whose music is tepid and his acting even worse he's given one line in the movie which was probably inserted to whatever fans he may have out there either that or someone him a favor my final complaint about the movie is one that comes out of just being the continuity movies are shot out of sequence and then it's the job to piece it all together well someone should give the editor of this movie a little the problems range from little things like people not looking the same direction when a shot changes to re used footage at the end of the movie in the beginning we are introduced to the bar the black as the camera moves through the bar you see the band the and the people dancing at the end of the movie when the bad guys have been defeated we get another shot of the same bar with insert shots of our hero sitting at the bar with his girl the problem is the footage of the people in the bar is the same footage from the beginning of the movie i kid you not it's the same people standing or dancing in the same places wearing the same clothes want to know the funniest part you see in the shot that were killed earlier in the movie do yourself a favor don't watch this movie unless you feel the need to go out and punch someone this movie will make you angry enough to do it,negative +massive spoilers ahead ok the movie in a nutshell so this girl goes out buys drugs gets pulled over by a cop the cops name is wolf the cop feels her butt then he eats her okay he beats her up and eats her then this woman is at home and this guy come with and he does her up then the woman goes into the other room and this black guy is there and she then the movie turns into a porno he starts sucking on her breasts then she gives him head then wolf walks in with blood all over him and says honey i'm home then he realizes his wife is blowing some black guy and he kills her the black guy kills him cuts the girl out of stomach and the go home the end and they lived happily ever after that is the movie br br now after reading this do u really think there is anything to like about this movie the only thing i liked in the woman had a nice body but the performances sucked the story sucked the dialogue sucked the whole movie just sucked,negative +is torture ever right no the answer is simple and absolute with no possible the reason as this film showed is the effect torture has on a society the values that have been hard fought for in western society through centuries of revolution and struggle are for all men and women to be allowed to live in a free and open society one where individuals are treated equally and with respect to their essential rights as humans to protect this society have been developed to deal with openly fairly and honestly these have been adapted and through generations of hard work one could argue that these are the true of democracy as they belong to us all allow us all to be heard if we allow acts to be committed in our name if we split our society into those who have rights and those who don't then we the work of our moreover we are all and all guilty and whether those that we are guilty or not is of no importance we are defined by our attitudes and our,positive +br br very slow plodding movie with a confusing story line the movie's only hope of keeping the audience interested is the gratuitous nudity thrown in at regular ellen is miscast and her looks do not hold up when she is on screen with the much younger wilson not sure what this movie was about,negative +this definitely the most tension filled x files episode of the first season this episode is what i think of when i hear x files the plot is simple but our main cast plus a few scientist go to investigate an in which it's research team appears to have killed each other it turns out a small that got up from the ice had infected the research team the itself to the brain and causes paranoia and insanity soon none can tell who they can trust or who's infected or not br br this episode was a direct tribute to john great horror film the thing the thing is set in and a team of scientist find a destroyed in which it's have been killed or killed themselves an alien that had been buried in the ice for a years had been out it has the abilities to imitate any life form therefore the main characters can no longer distinct friends from br br believe me the thing is one of the most and tension filled horror movies you'll ever see if you liked the episode ice i advice you to see it or if you have only seen the thing i advice you to see ice br br ice is the best direct tribute homage to john carpenter's the thing i have ever seen and it lives up to it's inspiration as one of the best x files episodes i give it a 10 10,positive +the first time i saw this movie was on a flight between china and los angeles it was a real hoot and made the trip pass with much less than the normal 10 hour flight i tried to locate a copy of it without success until i discovered a copy for sale on ebay having now watched it twice i recommend it as good entertainment my only real criticisms are that the choice of english translation words for the subtitles is sub par even by normal standards also the is little to small into the movie too often and frequently travels too fast to read well,positive +this movie moves and inspire you it's like you are one of the family just to see and witness life during the depression era makes you feel humble and grateful jonathan silverman delivered well so convincing and very witty a must see for teens,positive +is yet another this do ' entry into the brit genre and is sure to keep who aren't expecting too much moderately entertained for ninety minutes after a few beers however for anyone seeking intelligent quality entertainment it's really best avoided br br there are so many in the appalling script that even an actor of the of colin is left looking the action is set in the 1980s but it's never clear why especially when they haven't been able to pull off any convincing feel for that decade it takes more than a few 80s soul records on the soundtrack the occasional suit and a handful of 30 year old cars then we see central characters studying such as sun the art of war and speaking about how violence should be a last resort while the same characters seem only too willing to start out punches with all the abandon of a bunch of fighting over a bag of br br character development does not exist in nor does irony subtlety or pathos this is a film which on fond memories of guy early gangster films which despite their flaws certainly had much more wit better editing dialogue and packed more emotional punch than this limp little saga they're a decade old now anyway isn't it time we moved on from trying to them,negative +kramer vs kramer is a terrific drama about an unhappy woman who walks out on her husband and young son the husband now has to take up the of taking care of the boy as he does they get to know each other better but then the mother and wife returns and she wants custody of the boy kramer vs kramer has lots of drama with some wonderful bits of comedy thrown in for good measure dustin hoffman won his first best actor oscar for his brilliant performance here most people say his performance in which won him his second oscar is his best he was great in that film but i disagree that its his best in my opinion the best performance of career is in this movie scene after scene shows us why hoffman is one of the best american actors working today he's also funny at times also giving a terrific performance is meryl streep who wasn't as well known when she made this film like she is today streep like hoffman also won her first oscar for best supporting actress for her work in kramer vs kramer as the wife and mother who tries to find herself after walking out on her family justin henry who was only 8 years old when the film came out is wonderful as hoffman and son he won an oscar nomination for his role here and still to this day he is the youngest performer to receive an oscar nomination in a category best supporting actor jane alexander is also fine as a family friend she too got an oscar nomination for supporting actress where she lost to co star streep kramer vs kramer is a great film from start to finish writer director robert has made a film that's absolutely unforgettable br br out of four,positive +luckily for bill murray this is such a light weight project since he pretty much has to carry it is the story of low rent camp and how its deal with the as well as one another then there is much made of their wealthy rivals from across the lake named camp which in a two day competition above it all is bill murray around and making a pretty memorable film debut br br the film is with medium sized laughs chuckles and more than a few along the way the biggest laughs come from the pranks played on the nerdy camp director three of them involve the moving his bed outside in various locations while he's sleeping or as everyone calls him wakes up along the side of a road strung up in some trees several feet above the ground and finally floating on a raft in the middle of the lake there are also some funny moments involving the hitting on one another but this is a pg rated film with little in the way of br br the film takes a serious note involving a shy named who is played by chris of course it's up to murray to teach the kid how to open up and give him the confidence he needs to run a marathon during the the sentimentality of situation seems tacked on to a great degree notice how when murray first sees the kid sitting alone in the grass after getting off the bus he tells him you must be the short depressed kid we ordered makes you wonder if that line was really in the script or murray was just ad while the cameras were rolling in other words murray might as well have said to you must be that actor we hired to play the stereotypical lonely kid you see in most summer camp films who doesn't fit in but before it's all over performance makes this plot device more than bearable he really seems to have some good chemistry with br br the film with the games between the two rival camps very little of the events we are shown are even slightly believable but it just doesn't matter this is a pretty good film on many levels don't let the absurd 5 6 rating this film is currently getting scare you off murray will keep you laughing throughout just be warned avoid the sequels especially the one with corey 8 of 10 stars br br the,positive +steven seagal has made a really dull bad and boring movie steven seagal plays a doctor this movie has got a few action scenes but they are poorly directed and have nothing to do with the rest of the movie a group of american nazis spread a lethal virus which is able to wipe out the state of montana wesley seagal s character tries desperately to find a cure and that is the story of the the is an extremely boring film because nothing happens it is filled with boring dialogue and illogical gaps between events and stupid actors steven seagal has totally up in this movie and i would not recommend this to my worst enemy 3 10,negative +i thought this was a very good tv series and i would like to see it continue it really got interesting there at the end and i really want to see where it is going from there some times we are to quick to kill a series without giving it a chance i think this one needs a chance to go on and i will definitely be waiting for it the ocean is one of the places that man knows so little about and i think that is a mystery in itself what is waiting for us beneath the waters of the world it is even said that man maybe out or out of the waters many millennium ago is this a new evolution coming about are we going to move down the food chain or fight for our position,positive +frankly i'm amazed to see that this movie is getting relatively good reviews i'll be completely honest and say that the only reason i even got through it is because of ryan and not for reasons particularly connected with his abilities as an actor though i think over the last years he has proved himself to be a better actor than his first major roles in the late 1990's br br as far as action suspense movies go this movie fails in nearly every respect the acting is ok i guess but the script is absolutely horrible and makes very little sense a fact which the filmmakers try to cover up by adding absurd references to chaos theory as if it would convince anyone that the film is actually but then again judging from other reviews some were don't be fooled the script is a boring derivative mess and no other element of the movie makes up for it wesley snipes has probably never had a less interesting role in a film and is a thoroughly dull actor br br not recommended,negative +i had enjoyed the masters of horror series until i came upon this dung heap br br this anti bush propaganda piece as a horror film comes off like an episode of the original batman done by michael moore political satire should be clever this however pulls a ten on the scale with all the style and credibility of an l ron film br br in its campy inane way it the of stealing going to war for absolutely no reason and treating and women as mere cannon fodder it even takes a at the second and religion all that was missing was romero as the president in glee about how he 9 11 br br i guess the ending was supposed to be the we support our troops moment but i think they would be more offended than pleased with the entire br br i'm sure the hollywood are sitting in their each other on the backs for this work

she be in time to prevent his becoming whole br br i thought i was fairly familiar with most of horror prior to 1960 but this is one universal film from the 50s that certainly gets little mention while the thing that couldn't die isn't what i would call a good movie it does have a few things going for it first the film has some interesting ideas and is actually rather ambitious director will whether by luck or intention is able to give the movie some nice atmosphere from time to time and the special effects involving the head are certainly creepy but the whole project is by the acting i'm shocked to learn that any of the supposed actors in this thing ever appeared in anything else you would think that this was a one and done type of movie for most of those involved is the worst she's horrible also the thing that couldn't die may have been a bit too ambitious for its own good given the budget and other limitations there was no way the movie could to its more ideas finally the movie ends rather abruptly just as things are starting to get interesting the end what's that about,negative +the satirical movie website hollywood that son of the mask was all a practical joke star jamie kennedy played on new line cinema for his show the jamie kennedy experiment if only and if only the movie had been half as funny as that satire piece br br the mask was the ideal vehicle for the face pulling jim carrey that so many viewers on it also delighted males over the age of 12 by introducing cameron diaz so having a minus both of them was not a good idea plus you'd have thought new line would have learned their lesson after dumb and when harry met lloyd but no though to be fair having an all new cast is in keeping with the original comic in which the mask went from owner to owner as written by lance and directed by lawrence however there's nothing there in return except a steady stream of admittedly decent fx by the usual of houses industrial light and magic on the ally dancing baby and their own day out with the studio giant killer robots digital dimension and so on in support and an even greater to cartoon fans by having our hero work at an animation company responsible for such gems as his character after and working in not just references to classic cartoons but actual clips br br the trouble is that last approach doesn't really work partly because most of the attempts to bring cartoon to live action fall flat especially the cars getting in the party mood and mostly because the to the woody duck and especially one evening show up how weak this movie is in comparison plus the movie fits in slapstick alongside strained sentiment the underlying theme of the story is family our hero isn't ready to have a son and his nemesis alan as the god is far from the apple of eye and what bob is doing here as even after super mario bros is beyond me and kennedy just isn't in the same league as carrey in the zany stakes though it's not like he gets any help from the script also note that unlike diaz the very cute howard as the mother of the son of the mask doesn't get much to do giving her the mask might have helped the movie br br further points are lost for throwing away steven wright and for a running time which would account for some plot holes and scenes that seem to be missing and for an incredibly bad attempt at an inside joke when our hero fails to sell the concept of the green guy as an animated tv series the mask did become an animated tv series in real life and was a far better follow up than this sequel the fact that this actually opened in britain before the us should tell you everything what with this and blade new line seems intent on the market on dreadful sequels with cast members from two guys and a girl what next the effect 2 with nathan br br somebody stop this,negative +the only good thing about this unfunny dreck is that i didn't have to pay for it i saw it for free at college and if a college student can't find humor in something that was free it's hopeless br br stale acting and poor jokes cannot be masked by an excellent yet set design that goes out of its way to market i don't know what michaels myers was doing in this movie but i have never seen anything more depressing this was nothing more than a blatant effort to capitalize on the previous success of the grinch which has its opponents but i enjoyed it very much it's difficult not to sit through this failure and wonder what better projects were passed over to it br br you want a funny seuss adaptation go with the grinch,negative +this is a terrible movie that only gets worse and seems to never end the acting was bad the plot was worse and the special effects seemed to have been created by a grade science class dennis weaver is such a great actor and should have never taken such a part my advise don't watch this movie,negative +the beautiful charming versatile and talented irene dunne is one of the greatest 5 or 6 actresses of american cinema in over 21 as in all her films she lights up the screen with a natural yet glamorous presence she is simultaneously authentic and human and a charismatic inspirational model this role is quintessential irene dunne full of pathos and wit and a little i love all of her films and this film was a fantastic new discovery for me when tcm aired it last night i hope they don't wait years to air it again br br likewise charles coburn is one of the greatest character actors in all of american true he often portrays variations on the same theme but i never tire of watching his soft hearted here his character is the perfect foil for irene dunne and he is portrayed perfectly by coburn their conflicts in this film are absolutely fantastic they never miss a beat in addition they represent the central conflict of the film and the moral conflict of irene husband portrayed by alexander knox br br i am not as familiar with work he was recognizable but that was about all however cast with dunne and coburn he holds his own he delivers a fine nuanced performance his character has noble motives that are made accessible to us by performance and never held over us like some holy grail he is noble but conflicted and doubts his ability to successfully complete his interaction with dunne is always convincing too dunne supports him without being or becoming a and he responds in kind their scenes are very well done br br the film itself is a fantastic of a moment and a not portrayed in other movies i don't recall off the top of my head another movie that portrays america still fighting wwii but with the end in sight and the focus on the establishment of the post war world not the usual wwii movie that in itself is interesting it is also essential to the plot and the movie's message in contrast to other i thought that the climactic speech was okay but not great it was delivered very well by knox but it was not as tightly written as the build up led me to expect i have heard better cinematic speeches addressing very similar themes it served its purpose br br for me the greater value of the movie was the depiction of the life of dunne and knox as it reflected the typical experience the sense of community among the wives living on seemed absolutely authentic as did itself despite the fact that it was obviously a sound stage set the incredibly brief encounters between the wives and their husbands the of the candidates the difficult and complex material they had to learn the base obviously constructed the tired and worn the constant and short for returning to base for learning lessons for catching trains to subsequent constantly running into their predecessors and in the base as they were moving in and out yes i suspect this was a glimpse of a real wwii experience in some comedy but very real at its core i loved it and i recommend it highly,positive +oh dear this sequel has a mirror this time which houses the evil spirit of a psychopath which murdered an entire family with a shotgun in the home the mirror captured the entire ugly incident of the horrified family who had no time to prepare for their guest the mirror is given to a photographer ross by a bum who just so happens to be his lunatic father and the man responsible for killing the family and it's evil soon those in a such as painter pal portrayed by julia soul where he lives when they look into it soon is having nightmares looking through the eyes of his father as he guns down the family in cold blood worried that he might follow in his footsteps soon he sees other through his father's eyes like that terrible day pops his mother's head against the floor of an institution or experiencing a moment inside the cell as doctor's a drug to him br br pretty solid supporting cast who deserve better than being stuck in junk like this such as david american werewolf in london as the of the with which lives richard as an eccentric artist terry as a psychologist detective and especially lin as a hilarious rather strange secretary nurse in the asylum the one which held father soon to be closed down br br out the film the sexy as supportive girlfriend barbara howard friday the 13th the final chapter as betrayed wife he was on the verge of starting an affair with soul jack as the sadistic fiend who attempts to his son into killing innocent people as he did and robert a nightmare on elm street 2 freddy's revenge as a rejected lover of soul who meets an unfortunate demise while ripping apart paintings as a revenge for his br br this film is a poor special effects movie merely using the title as a cash in the franchise has never been that great to begin with but as each sequel was green lit it grew worse and worse after the third film furniture from the infamous house become possessed items folks the cast try hard though but the material a mirror causing chaos and murder through supernatural means is lacking in quality and the rather mediocre special effects don't help matters as little as he has to work with shows why he's such a great actor he can even shine in such as this not lost you get to see always wearing super short or her man's shirt in showing off her legs throughout hey you have to find a silver somewhere believe it or not a new generation was the seventh film in the franchise coolest part of the film were the of demons painted by artist perhaps inspired by the evil mirror after looking into it,negative +one true thing rises above its potentially material to give us a view of a family of complex relationships and flawed real people it opens with discussing her mother's death with the district attorney us the cheap cinematic shots of a shocking illness and death from there it proceeds into a look at a family system in which everyone plays by a set of rules and uses the mother's cancer to show what happens when all the rules change br br william hurt as the self important father and meryl streep as the mother are both superb nuanced and not what they appear to be is angry and surprised with herself tom everett scott doesn't have much to do but he does it well br br the story is predictable and takes at least one badly turn it have taken but the performances and the view of family as a place where anger and love are equally mixed make it worthwhile,positive +oh god why i am at the sheer of this delicious nonsense as if all that makes sense well like this film from bottom poverty row of 1940s hollywood nothing in this door horror made on three sets makes much sense except the of dr who after some piano daughter who has big and a it is just terrible and even has a gorilla and a big dog for pointless added more than elephant man and that is just at minutes the monster maker is the sort of film kids in 2005 just at with disbelief and wonder what the hell their grandparents saw in their youth that made them the lovable movie they are today i guess you just had to be there in 1944 or whenever the hell this mad drivel was shown to 13 year olds in glorious 3000 seat movie on a wet day somehow it was made for no reason by movie pictures in the war years by escaped german who knew who to make a film since they got out of europe as the nazis advanced on studios the monster in this film like the mad scientist is actually a nazi nightmare,negative +like those who listened to radio reports about the attack on pearl harbor every one who has ever seen pink can tell you exactly where they were when they first saw it and some thirty years later the movie is still one of the most vile obnoxious repulsive and hilariously funny films ever put to celluloid guaranteed to test the strongest and the funny bones br br filmed with a close to zero budget and some of the cinematography around pink tells the story of two families that compete for the title of the people alive just how filthy can they be plenty the film includes everything from sex with to what i can only describe as a remarkable display of control to a helping of doo and i guarantee that you won't want to eat an egg for at least several weeks after seeing it br br the cast is either wonderful atrocious or wonderful depending on how you look at it the star of course is divine and to describe divine as the biggest drag queen on the planet would the understatement of the year she is a creature given to big eye makeup big orange hair and big expressions she is the heston of drag and whether she is almost running down a to use the bathroom on some one's front lawn or startling real life by taking a along a sidewalk she is both and funny others in the cast include mary vivian danny mills and the ever appalling edith massey as members of family and stole and david as the white baby selling couple who challenge status br br it should be pretty obvious that pink is not exactly a movie that will appeal to just every one and viewers who know director john waters only through such later films as and will be in for a major but if you want to see something so completely different that even monty python couldn't imagine it this is the movie for you just make sure you eat before you see it because you probably won't want to eat afterward and you might want to keep a bag handy just in case br br gary f taylor aka amazon reviewer,positive +i am biased because i appear in this film but i loved it and i am only in about seven minutes and am not nearly the most interesting part of it the film is an honest and intriguing account of a noble independent group of filmmakers trying to make a lovable movie it is also an account of expectations and fallen the interviews are well together in the editing the different people are all interesting and there is never really too much of one person also the interviews are shot in a pretty interesting fashion keeping the film visually satisfying definitely a worthwhile film i hope it gets around,positive +i love watching the mile i mean watching peter run the mile is like watching the 100 i think peter is a excellent actor and should do another running movie he is lightning fast has great energy and can run a mile in under 4 minutes and that my friend is amazing no man alive can out race rain murphy i mean the man runs 80 mile a week no one does that but him i've watched the mile of times and will watch it more great movies get watched more than movies that are not i thank the makers of this film for giving years of there lives to make it they are great people and i bless them all thank you for letting me get my word out again thank you all,positive +i have done a lot of international travel both on business and as a tourist for both types i assure you the best advice is also the oldest always drink the wine of the country in this movie the michael

and lie down of nights br br these are things you can't do in heaven so he enjoys them while he's here of course it turns out he had a couple of other jobs to tackle and if he is less direct about them than he was about the first one he is just as successful the final scene is a little but it is also wonderful jean gets to dance with john travolta,positive +director who brought us big budget like the and the remake of has directed this ripoff of the die hard concept done on what looks like a blair witch budget br br a california nuclear is by arab terrorists but are you ready the terrorists aren't arab they're really disgruntled american soldiers as we find out that they don't really intend to blow up the just make a statement we're not sure what the statement is but never mind so there's really no threat but then one of the terrorists decides to go it alone and actually blow up the plant because he's kind of crazy so maybe there is a threat after all but the army goes in and all the bad guys are killed so there was no threat oh and a good guy is killed too let that be a lesson to everybody br br if all of this sounds muddled and kinda of a waste of time then you got the idea of what watching is all about br br the script never bothers to introduce the characters or to even give any personal details that might flesh them out or emotionally involve the audience so we're left with one dimensional characters the expert that nobody will listen to the trigger happy sergeant the slimy politicians the the story from one cliché incident to the next in a formula of practically every action movie you've ever seen but at nearly every turn just when we think something may be at stake the script and we find out there's actually nothing to worry about br br like die hard there's an police officer who's on the inside to the bad guys the big twist is that the cop here is a woman oh and she's injured too but not that bad just enough to make her a couple times oh and instead of the that bruce willis had this cop has a magic cell phone that works everywhere even underground when he's not yelling at everybody else bruce his jaw made out of tries to her over the he even makes a joke once but we're afraid his face might crack after all this is serious business br br but mostly it's scene after scene of people arguing the military expert is arguing to wait it out his reasoning doesn't seem particularly sound but he's supposed to be the smart guy in this movie so the people at the white house argue with him the army sergeant with him too the nice nuclear engineer with the main terrorist the dialogue is absolutely b movie all the way and lines like stop the broadcast stop the broadcast may have you in rolling off your as you wonder if the characters are actually referring to this silliness br br maybe to compensate for the lack of production quality the camera work is kept in that faux documentary 21 style that's supposed to lend and energy to the scenes but the way it's and applied here it's downright annoying even pretentious further attempts to up the are made with the inclusion of nonsensical black and white footage that's randomly with the main action but this too is pretentious and annoying in that blair witch kinda way in short the attempts look very amateurish br br the music lives up to the visuals it's and cheap sounding sort of like a porn movie but with less melody and lots more heart beat sounds the graphic treatment is bad too cheesy graphics in huge red scream out to us 9 28 as though the actually makes some kind of difference br br may work as a marketing concept but it's clear that the script was a second thought fx part of fox put this cheesy production together and dropped several million dollars on it now that's what i call a,negative +great party movie following the adventures of bill tom two high school buddies at opposite ends of the spectrum bill eric prefers to live life straight laced while his friend tom chris penn takes nothing seriously except all the time when bill moves out of his mother's house to live on his own he faces many issues from his girlfriend to his brother to his meanwhile his friend tom moves in to keep the rent down but proceeds to turn life upside down this movie is non stop comedy from start to finish and is a personal favorite of mine soundtrack features guitar edward van throughout the movie also features cameos by lee and ron wood 70s legend also makes an appearance classic 80s movie is worth multiple looks now all that needs to be done is a much anticipated dvd release if you enjoyed this movie take a look at the last american virgin which is similar to wild life i rate both highly,positive +in a critical scene as scott thomas lies in the cave of she writes something read by juliette in which she that the light has gone out now and i'm writing in the darkness a sentence of such poetic beauty could not be more perfect for the cinematic brilliance of the far from tiresome the english patient with such a dramatic that keeps one firmly on their feet and a strength about the film that doesn't let up this film proudly the mysteries and romances of world war ii taking elements of casablanca and lawrence of along with some independence in the form of br br the english patient pulls the and takes us through a mysterious first act a romantic second act and a beautiful beautiful final act and it isn't just the wonderful pace and setting it's the performance of ralph who keeps us sympathetic even when count from the very start proves to be a thoroughly unlikable character usually as a villain he shows but ultimately human colours as a man taken in by a desperate love that he must fulfill br br many will criticize this film based on its so called of but those who do know nothing the between the two periods before and after the plane crash seen at the start are spectacular as the patient is the man who suffers because of what he did the evil that was once in him now absent whereas the man of before the crash is an individual like anyone else he wants this woman but he cannot have her brings the human like qualities out of in a way absolutely no other actor could there couldn't have been a better actor for the job br br so please take these comments to heart see the film those who call it boring or despicable know nothing and should be ashamed of such a one dimensional view on the film a view that they have neither studied nor and probably don't plan on the english patient is the best of every film to have ever won the best picture oscar and for so many reasons hidden in their poetic,positive +this review may contain spoilers the decline of western civilization what a great title eh and of coarse a great movie this is the best concert film i have ever seen a close second being the talking heads movie stop making sense i first heard of this movie when world came out in 1992 i looked at the director's name penelope and thought cool name what else has he directed i thought the first name was like after some time looking in movie i came across the acclaimed decline and realized penelope was a woman my mom me i spent 8 years of my life trying to track this down i finally saw it on vhs in where i currently it was worth the wait this captures the la punk movement very well this is teen angst at it's best folks my favourite is the band the who need subtitles for the lyrics because crash sings so crazy you cannot understand it i laughed when i saw this the band black flag live in an abandoned church and the band x are a very intelligent bunch also laughed at the letter some idiot writes in to slash magazine about how we do not need to save the there are countless miles of ocean for us to pour in i became a huge penelope fan after this and saw all her punk movies was ok and is a cult classic i own both of these on vhs she is a true underground film maker and i love her stuff i would have loved to have seen this movie in 1994 when was so popular i was a big fan then but alas i saw this in 2002 and by that point i had grown out of and now i listen to crystal method slim quite a change of pace i know but what can you do but if you want a true depiction of the punk movement this captures it better than anything much better than 1991 the year punk broke this is a tough movie to track down but if you get your hands on it rent it even if you don't like the music it is an excellent piece of work now days it might be easier to find with dvd's being so popular by the way penelope produced a little known albert brooks movie called real life which i also own very funny stuff in todays reality tv rent decline highly recommended thanks,positive +this is probably the funniest thing i have ever seen from start to finish it was perfect in timing atmosphere punch lines background music fighting sequences and every other possible aspect you can think of to be absolutely honest i find this movie as funny as their sitcom bottom maybe even funnier i laughed constantly throughout the whole movie and can only recommend seeing this film however if you watch it without knowing or liking the type of comedy and has done before you might not think it's funny at all but i really can't understand those who dislike it this is humour folks people getting hit with pans guys running around wearing red rubber green vomit filling the guys getting kicked in the b s and getting in the eyes how can this not be funny 10 10,positive +ms the maker of mr mrs directs this movie about a young girl's struggle to cope with her condition br br has been an kid ever since childhood and has shown signs of no one knows why the tendency however slips out of control when the job assignment takes her to where she's raped by some political the resulting trauma also leads to episodes of manic in addition to her she out of control over the years getting worse and sinking deeper into her private br br the of an divorced elder sister and how her ways make an already bad situation worse is of what a fine line there is between and seemingly normal ms also makes an excellent commentary on the social alienation of such individuals social is standard therapy along with all the deadly mind drugs but what about the poor and the always left to for themselves and usually fall by the br br the romantic connection between dr and was unnecessary also the scene where dr explains to how real their world really is to them was redundant should already know all that the english dialog is a bit awkward at times though the acting for that and prove that their reputation is every bit worth it and play their limited roles very well br br extensive research seems to have been done about this illness its very evident but its not clear if can with in the same patient side by side also in the early part dr e c t shock therapy while the fact that it doesn't work for only for extreme with and other forms of disorder br br the ending of the remarkable story is suggestive of an unknown solution maybe no solution the movie could have ended on a note since worldwide the mentally ill can and do lead balanced and if not very fulfilling lives under good medical care br br nonetheless its an excellent film made with extreme sensitivity to the subject hats off to ms no one in india could've done it better,positive +the worst movie i have ever seen the sound quality was bad the cutting of the scenes was even worse and above all it was not logic and it had no speed br br i first oh no i don't want the trail that proves that poor patrick was an innocent killer but this turned out to be even worse typically in this american film you get a super hint or no hints at all i want very tiny small hints that direct you to the killer the audience isn't involved and now when i don't get any hints at all you can expect a several 's he is the in the end and that is not all ah this is hopeless lets make an end to it br br in one word disgusting br br,negative +i've seen about a half dozen of the low budget poverty row b westerns that ken made in the 1930s and i am consistently amazed at how poor an actor he was how did he ever get to be a leading cowboy actor they say that he could ride pretty well back in the but he doesn't do anything particularly impressive in these later sound films still maybe he got the leads because he was big and could ride br br phantom isn't as bad as some of the other ken films i've seen but it still isn't much some of the other characters refer to him a couple of times as a young where it appears to me that he's just as old as the other older actors br br and if that's not silly enough there's a rather significant script problem in this film at one point one of the characters makes a remark about how the phantom had prevented the of a well something that hadn't happened yet just a couple of minutes later we then see that particular scene no it wasn't a flashback at first i thought perhaps that when films was doing the dvd transfer they might have two of the but in those days film contained approximately 11 minutes of film and the whole only took about 3 or 4 minutes tops everything else was in a logical order so it looks like that was a genuine continuity problem in the original film maybe that's one reason why colony pictures didn't last very long,negative +i remember the events of this movie the ill cruise of donald in 1968 in the golden globe single handed around the world race i was a 13 year old living in england the previous year francis later sir francis he was for his exploits had completed the first solo of the globe i remember it mostly because we were given time off school to watch his return on a grainy black and white tv and then his by the queen it a huge of patriotic in the uk it all seems so quaint now became a national hero but he had stopped half way in australia to re fit his so the next logical step for was to attempt the journey without stopping br br it's important to remember that this was a world pre when on land were still pretty never mind in the middle of the ocean now with that fit on a key chain and a position within a anywhere on earth it's hard to recall a time when you could go to sea and quite literally as donald did br br a number of signed up all men back then including mystery man essentially a weekend sailor had not been a spectacular success in any previous enterprise including careers in the british army the air force and as an selling aids he wanted to do something big with his life and he saw the five thousand pound first prize well over 100 000 in today's money and the ensuing publicity as a means of kick starting his business he signed a deal with a that proved more than his boat and which meant failure would him and soon found himself a popular figure with as he prepared for the race now the brits always love the idea of the amateur taking on the think eddie the eagle losing endless olympic jump and the amateur riders who regularly start the grand national horse race the public up to see him set off but his boat wasn't really ready and even as he started the last to leave the uk must have known he didn't seriously have a chance but too much was riding on him to quit br br in the wonderful archive footage we see doubt written all over his poor wife's face left behind with their 4 children she is interviewed throughout the film together with one of sons she was in a no win situation had she attempted to stop him she would have been considered a spoiler but afterward she was with doubt as to whether she could have saved his life by stopping him faced with the certain truth that his boat was and would never make it through the southern and unable to turn around and face and a plan to cheat laid up and brazil out of radio contact he waited for the leaders to round cape horn and start back up the atlantic thinking he could sneak in at the end of the line and pretend he had all the way around the globe he his and made films and audio to back up his plan but as one after another the other dropped out he realized that in fact he would come in 2nd and his would be unable to face certain his suggests he lost his grip on reality and eventually committed suicide his was found he never was br br this beautifully edited film also follows the journey of bernard an experienced and enigmatic french sailor who was in second place and certain of the journey prize when he abruptly left the race unable to deal with the and publicity he knew he would face and into the wide blue eventually pulling up some 10 months later in having spent some seven years working at sea myself albeit on very different ships to these i well understand the pull of the ocean standing on deck seeing water in every direction to the horizon knowing there's a couple of miles of water below you nothing between you and oblivion but a thin metal without easy access to tv or radio even nowadays on most working ships you feel pretty isolated it's possible to truly escape from the of everyday life for a while there is some thoughtful analysis of what drives people to attempt this kind of very long lonely journey and the effect it has on the human mind most people would think that attempting to raise 4 children is adventure enough but much is made of the need for self discovery in the at sea the search for self br br i strongly suspect that robin knox the ex navy guy who won the race and many since probably knew pretty well who he was before he set off which was why he succeeded not just in winning the race but also his sanity en route those who went searching for something profound within themselves may not have entirely liked what they found br br the marvelous archive footage of britain in the late 60s is almost reason enough to watch this did it really look quite that bad i don't remember it looking quite so but perhaps we out the worst aspects of the past but overall it is an excellently well made and engrossing movie highly recommended,positive +banks is thief at the top of his game but after a successful career he has decided to settle down with his woman and however he decides to take one last routine job in las vegas all he has to do is drive the car and it seems simple unfortunately someone the police and after a car chase he winds up in the slam only to escape and take revenge on those who betrayed and got him there in the first place a typical action fest ensues br br steven seagal plays himself surprise wearing a coat and sporting his beloved along with his usual bone breaking the and have always been with him but the first i recall him with the coat is in 'the ' it isn't particularly impressive but it does add a little notch to lethal of or it covers up those extra pounds he is look at it however way you choose his main buddy throughout the film is played by another new thing a in an action movie and they both a little conspiracy of bad guys on both sides of the law and give each evil his due br br the film's main problem is that is it painfully and i truly mean painfully unoriginal seagal just follows a clockwork plot throughout the movie and even that manages to get more and more dull as the film progresses then it goes from dull to utterly ridiculous in the final scene as people who seemed to be dead on killing each other suddenly for no reason start to talk inducing in every sense of the word the only real positive thing here is the decent opening a car chase in las vegas complete with flipping police cars and generally entertaining mayhem but after that brief highlight you've seen it all before 3 10 br br rated r constant violence and profanity,negative +the way i found out about this movie was when i watched american pie 2 at the start it had a trailer for ali g i watched the trailer and it just forced me to buy the dvd it looked incredibly funny so the next day i went to my local store and picked it up for 99 bargain the film is about ali g who is a gangster of the west massive crew who's rivals are the east massive crew ali has a pack of children where he teaches them how to survive in the ghetto by teaching them how to swear and steal cars after ali finds out the government are stopping the money coming to the centre where ali teaches the kids he runs for for and another in his attempts to get rid of the centre to make room for an airport in throughout the film there are laughs as ali gets up to some crazy stuff makes an appearance for a few seconds in the film too this is a definite must watch film for all you baron cohen fans out there,positive +it is a shame that this series hasn't been and produced on video by warner or some other professional movie house br br copies of most episodes are available but are usually of poor quality being copies of copies of copies br br as i understand it episodes were produced during its run but only 15 are noted here br br some of the series writers such as richard went on to become noted authors br br excellent series well written well staged and well produced br br michael br br thailand,positive +what a movie i have always liked the asian style of shooting and this movie does not disappoint at all photography is breath taking ranging from amazing landscapes to of colours the main actor is really realistic in representing the painter whose paintings are astonishing the ending is also very well chosen very poetic the only remark is that they should have maybe shown a bit more deeply the connection between his inspiration and his abuse of alcohol and women but altogether this is an excellent film,positive +this is an adaptation of an edith work whose writing is amazing sadly this movie never shakes the feeling that these 20th century movie people don't grasp the 19th century and desperation work depicts ward and dalton aren't so bad but alicia wooden performance made me she was supposed to be playing the restless element of the story but she stood like a stick the whole movie long and i never believed a word out of her mouth when she asks ward why can't i move you near the end of the film i couldn't help but answer that's what i've been wondering for the last hour and a half,negative +the adventures of has to be one of the excuses for a movie i've yet run across you would have to look far and wide to find anything that approaches the level of on display in this movie acting – bad editing – bad direction – bad special effects – bad and laughable plot – bad lighting – bad cinematography – bad costume design – bad and silly everything else – bad watching the adventures of is about as enjoyable as a root even for a fan of bad movies it's a real test this is one for either or lou if any exist br br eight things i learned from watching the adventures of br br 1 if you don't have the budget for real special effects a scene from the previous movie it will look great trust me br br 2 when on a quest to recover take time for frequent stops to oil up you body it worked for and his two amazon companions br br 3 any sword fight use of magic and just about all other day to day activities in ancient created a sound very similar to a game of man or br br 4 some of the ancient greek gods dressed like extras from star wars br br 5 if you need to pad your crappy movie's runtime the title sequence by adding star trek style credits and throw in some overly music it also helps if you've got a previous movie to pull scenes from br br 6 fight scenes move along much if the bad guys attack one at a time br br 7 william did anything for money br br 8 i didn't think it was possible but the adventures of makes the first film 1983 look like an academy award winner,negative +poor diane whoever she was not only was she according to this movie a spoiled but sweet acting upper east side brat she was a bad wife bad mother awful business partner plus there is no evidence in this picture that she was any kind of an artist except in the bold statement in the prologue br br nicole kidman who incredibly is more attractive today than 25 years ago and actually looks younger indeed gives an excellent performance but what can an actress do with a wife and mom who seeks out and falls for an incredibly weird werewolf looking guy living in the apartment upstairs set in the early 1970's manhattan was a virtual for freaks and of all and most not looking like human so why is this affair worthy of a minute movie br br robert downey jr used to be one of my favorites but i'd say his well known and prolonged use of drugs has taken its one might think he'd be to be in a movie that treats drug use as casually as it does smoking br br fur has already taken a beating at the box office but in view of those who a score of 10 for this slice of trash i'd like to say so,negative +in this silly a mouse from the country visits his cousin in the city most of the short is the two mice exploring the dinner table the animation is fine where this short suffers is in a lack of humor perhaps i've just seen this dinner table adventure in one too many tom and jerry shorts even though this came first i just didn't find it that enjoyable,negative +in 1989 here in wrestling was somewhat of a mega hype and who was starship at the was the orange himself hulk hogan one of my uber heroes at this time so it seems obvious to me now why i this movie in 1989 90 when it came out here hulk hogan a k a terry is a shockingly bad actor and a k a tiny is worse the story line follows a standard wwe then circa story line culminating in the standard good guy beat down hulk up and then get beaten down again story line only to follow that the good guy calls on all his inner strength gained from eating saying etc etc to the epic come back pretty standard formula here worth watching if only for your youth,negative +despite the fact that there were aspects of this film that i felt were not developed enough i enjoyed it and would recommend it to others richard gere and diane lane are great in their lead roles the basic premise of the film is that both were in the wake of broken when they meet both also are searching for healing unexpectedly they find that they can help each other there were aspects of the film that i wished i'd seen play out more where simple flashes merely suggested themes that my mind had to fill in the on such as the to the widower and how goes from feeling guilty about having slept with paul to feeling okay with it soon after an opportunity for a tremendous love scene was lost when it was merely suggested they were going to make love with the coming but in the end the film left me feeling deeply of the relationship that my wife and i share and there were moments that moved me to the verge of tears so i have to say it is well worth viewing,positive +when i was very young my mother had a series of four looney tunes shorts on tape and i watched them all several times a was one of these shorts and i was truly shocked to read in another comment that it had been banned when i was young i probably did not even understand the black beauty gag to begin with still this is probably why it was banned though until i watched this on a video site i did not even remember the gag upon viewing the video i did remember certain shots in particular the of hat and eyes becoming as the him in the lake i was not bothered by the gag that was most likely the reason the gag was banned instead i was with childhood memories of watching this short because of how much i liked this short as a child i rate it 7 out of 10,positive +br br i still can't louis jr agreed to appear in this film everything about this move feels artificial forced and contrived the air sequences are flat the enemy characters seem like puppets this is just a poor excuse of a movie at least top gun had air sequences that looked good the shots anyway the songs by queen are cool though rent instead,negative +i am a huge fan of the 5 50 dvd bin at my local hopefully you have one at your local branch you can find a bunch of campy flicks a bunch of trash and the occasional surprise this movie is one of the surprises my friend recently bought this one and in thinking it would be another cheesy kung fu laugh riot i was genuinely surprised at how good it was i watch a lot of movies and as a result i can almost always call how a movie will turn out and if there's a plot twist what it will be not this movie the directing is brilliant the plot is awesome and the fighting is unbelievably inventive if you see this one sitting around somewhere at a dirt cheap price get it if you see it at full price i would still recommend it,positive +obviously can be seen as just not another stupid animated movie that a studio might put out to simply survive it is far from it and it can be easily described as a captivating beautiful movie experience br br miyazaki has indeed another masterpiece now to many this has been said to be the least of his achievements in film making due to in part of his certain weirdness factor not being there that is true the morals and insights that are not quite so evident in his previous films are very up front in this picture is not too difficult to understand or comprehend his idea i believe was to make a children's movie that was just as suitable for adults as their kids and for it not to be too complicated he accomplished this perfectly and he also didn't lose any substance along the way which is the reason it gets a 10 br br besides that the film itself is so engrossing from the start and the way its presented is so beautiful it left me in awe at times because i remembered how they were all hand drawn by miyazaki himself i haven't been so and happy after seeing a film since i saw once a while back another film not to be missed everything about was absolutely stunning and breathtaking even the music for it was pure perfection the only bad thing i have to say about it was its english dubbing don't get me wrong they were good too but i had seen about 2 weeks before it came out and i believed that in some parts i wish it had kept some of its japanese dialogue not all of it though did enjoy the english way too all in all everyone should see it's absolutely flawless and in another league of film making altogether finally and don't hold me to this but i wouldn't be surprised if got a best picture nomination as there are now 10 films that can be nominated for it it's just that good,positive +makes no apologies asks for no forgiveness it's a no holds assault on the senses tarantino doesn't care if he if he steps all over stereotypes and clichés this is film making at it it's great to see a film maker whose work clearly isn't with by the powers that be tarantino is a master of effortlessly up immense tension and suddenly mixing it with laugh out loud moments you're not sure if you should be looking away in disgust or rolling around laughing either way it's a roller coaster and one not to be missed it's not for everyone and i'm unsure how germans will take the film certainly if you're not a fan of style this may be a little hard to swallow but never the less it is a film which simply has to be seen no self film fan should miss this and the performance of oscar don't you dare ignore him,positive +it's pretty evident that many of your nights were spent alone if you watched 5 minutes of the actual show instead of watching the commercial you would have seen one of the greatest television shows in canadian history being made too bad you would have been watching it alone probably the reason you hate it no game keys to the is hilarious light and funny guys are going to eat this show up my game is tight and i can hardly wait to get on this show the chicks were and the kicked ass i'll be watching every week it makes me wonder why more great shows like this one aren't being made now it's clear that the talent in canada has the ability to produce american quality television,positive +having only seen five episodes of the show before this i've been watching the repeats on bbc two i haven't really had much experience of the league but as a fan as well as a massive fan of british comedy i can say this film is hilarious seeing who i had not seen on screen before the film and on the big screen was a great comedy experience being on screen is something that the league take full advantage of with heads blowing up it'll come as a surprise who it is and gruesome murders with random middle ages style battles all the way br br is easily the funniest character of the three protagonists in this film because he has the best one liners and overall behaviour just like in the series one of my only with the film was not hearing shout well now i've got this gun even once even though there is a build up to it in one part of the film the film itself overall is to use the phrase everyone else does and it's very reminiscent of films like life of brian appearances from and edward were welcome but line hello me up more than anything said by them probably my favourite character after and edward it's got quite a poignant ending with one of the main character being killed off and i can only hope this is not the last on screen venture with mentioning the possibility of another series or film i'm now very excited this is a film i will see again partly because the died towards the end leaving out 10 minutes or so of the film but mainly because it's inventive and hilarious i'm not really bothered if it's not as good as the tv series because i loved it br br one thing though if you've never seen the league you'll still love it but dave knows what you'll think about the people who make this stuff up as or edward might put it it's a local film for local people and a precious thing at that br br out of 4 5,positive +the movie is a to what really happened in city i'm a of the people who really lived the story the truth never has come out to my knowledge i have tried to find the whole story out but the people who lived it are still scared to tell it city is still run by crooked people albert was not quite the saint the story wants you to believe the story was filmed in city it still has some of the famous sites in it that you see in the movie the funeral home still looks exactly the same but if you are wanting the real history of sin city you have to visit us and find people willing to tell you about ma and her kindness she didn't get the name ma for nothing,positive +as a pre baby born in 1944 in los angeles thereby having the dubious distinction of having been alive while hitler was still involved in his last great offensive but also with our president still fighting the offensive this was one of the most important first films of my young life having the opportunity to see it in re release several years after the 1946 opening a common studio in those years answered even to my very young mind oh so many questions i had being surrounded by our returning vet heroes in all the many of william of subtle multi plots intentionally not surrounding mini or sub plots in all their colors and shades of intensity did more than anything else i can recall to provide to me some semblance of reason and rational explanation of what had been going on all around me in real life my personal experience being a new and different angle when looking at this classic film,positive +england the dawn of the atomic age yet the of a young yearning to experience his first kiss cannot be by something as as the bomb this was a delightful if not educational look at young love from the point of an adolescent male and his world of the br br 1940's free of political correctness and preachy messages this film exposes the viewer to the world that only the mind and br br of a young teenager can create wonderful subplots br br maintain character interest ala girl and plenty br br of well shots help keep up the imagery of this era this is a very good story for anyone young or old who has br br ever been in love or ever wanted to be does he ever get his wish watch it and see,positive +ok i saw this film through mystery science theater 3000 but i did see the movie so i figured i would leave a comment on it i just love once again how joe gets stuck with the crummy roles while his brother and are just getting the oscar winning roles left and right is technically what you would call the movie that was meant to be good it seemed like the director and actors just took this movie extremely seriously and had very cheesy effects a story that didn't make much sense and not to mention pretty crummy acting abilities this is one of my favorite mst3k episodes simple because a lot of what they mention is what we are thinking throughout the film and i'll explain why in a moment br br natalie and are a couple who broke up and are now trying to work things over but since is in upper lower class and natalie is in middle class it just ain't gonna work but on the way home they and friends get into a car accident and now the angel of death is after them to meet his of but also it seems like he's had some kind of other life relationship with natalie and just can't seem to move on so now natalie and must race against the ever appearing five million times a minute clock to save their souls and lives br br well i guess was wrong when he sang that there was a to heaven i wonder if black was wrong too lol basically there are a lot of plot holes in this movies like no one can see the characters and they can't be killed yet somehow they can still press buttons and open doors the angel of death had a very strange face and was a bit distracting from the story itself was just a lousy film that was rushed and makes you just feel so bad for joe the under appreciated sheen brother br br 2 10,negative +or better yet watch if you want to see a really intelligent and funny male college age road flick rolling kansas sounded promising in fact the program guide gave it 2 5 out of 4 stars which usually means it's fairly watchable but i pretty much fast through it usually road trip movies have great music but i can't even recall whether there was music the only high point was a small role with rip torn as a wise old guru otherwise the jokes and timing missed all along the way the four main characters are unknown actors and i don't remember seeing any of them in another movie oh yeah i see that hayden church was in it but he's in everything good bad or indifferent this movie is about as funny as watching someone else stoned when you're not,negative +the original female convict is an all time masterpiece the first sequel was not quite as good in my opinion though it's still notable for the fact that it took the idea from the original and created something in a completely different style director has managed to do the same thing again with this film the story is a bit different here but still he's managed to take what made the previous entries excellent and better than many films of this type and craft something fairly original around it again the action focuses on a k a and this time she's out of the and not too keen on the idea of going back after escaping from pursuing police officers one thing leads to another and finds herself getting it together with a prostitute and her retarded brother the prostitute ends up getting by the retarded brother while is kidnapped and up by someone who she made an enemy out of in prison but doesn't like spending time behind bars and it's not long before she's back to doing what she does best br br the film gets off to a great start as we see hack the arm off a intent on taking her back to jail from there however the film slows down a lot and beast stable ends up being more of a drama than the previous two films that's not to say that there isn't still plenty of action still spends a lot of time in and the film isn't exactly short on general sleaze once again her role as the sinister title character and it's another understated almost performance her screen presence is great however and she manages to have a menacing presence despite being only small physically the plot structure for this film is similar to the other two in that it all builds into a of revenge there are more people who have in this film than in the previous two so this section takes up a fairly large part of the film there's a few surreal sequences not as many as in the first film and nowhere near as in the second but the film stays in with the rest of the series on that point overall i would say this film is between the first two in terms of quality not as great as the original and slightly better than the second,positive +this game is a good looking first person hang on br br but of course a story must be put around this genre so a quite innovative plot about soldiers now driven by drugs to save the world and kill the terrorist is the drug of choice which creates a super soldier br br great now just give us some fun challenging missions throw in some great new weapons and free vehicles that can be driven at our and i will be quite content br br no br br the of this game decide to create a military driven game that tries to make sense of our fears of terrorism and democracy the game has twisted ideals that just re morals that we learned when we were in primary school nothing new is told to us but drugs are bad then pushed in a type of join the navy of how standing up for the common good given on and right and wrong we get it let's kill something br br no br br you can't you are forced to endure extremely long gaps of t such as run to helicopter go to group of troops then once this is completed cinematic takes over you sit there for at least half of the game watching little played out by the characters one's you cannot skip but sit and wait sometimes when people aren't even talking we sit and wait for a helicopter to land br br bad game by a laughable group of don't bother making another because i will rather see the movie,negative +i've read the comments on las vegas and do agree with some of them it's not brain surgery tv but then again i was under the impression that tv was mainly for especially with what is going on in today's world let's face it a show about vegas that isn't a reality based programme isn't going to one based on reality because to me vegas is pure fantasy it's the sort of place where we can go and pretty much do what we want when we want subject to obviously br br therefore the fact that las vegas is pretty sexy and cliched with characters that reflect all this seems to be on the money in my eyes if you don't like it don't watch it that what we have a million channels for br br we're coming up to the third episode here in the uk and i know that i will be making a to watch it again i just hope it's not cancelled something that seems to be happening a lot with most of the shows that come to the uk that are half decent and jake 2 0 anyone br br it's harmless great looking fun and i watch it i want to go back to the real thing,positive +if you're one of those people who doesn't really like sci fi because of their sometimes far fetched ideas and surreal world perspectives you better stay away as far as you can from stuart space it truly is an absurd space adventure stuffed with eccentric characters colorful and ludicrous plot twists in all probably never would have cared for this film if it wasn't for name on the credits this guy comes pretty close to being a genius in the horror genre with like and on his apparently stuart gordon likes his humor as twisted as possible he already went completely over the comedy top once with re animator but with the slight difference that the bizarre humor was effective there something that isn't really the case for space of the gags lead nowhere and the entirely exaggerated atmosphere only works in small doses in the end all that remains is an occasionally amusing but completely unnecessary mess dennis hopper and charles dance or at least a semi charles dance are always a joy to look at and the still stunning barbara has a small role near the end of the film was stuart regular heroine in previous horror films the story of space is as silly as they come dennis hopper plays the self made loner who's fed up with his job who wouldn't be when you're pigs across the galaxy for a company named he sees his change to flee while bringing his to earth they into space pirates and find out their is meant to wipe out half the universe stuart gordon wisely returned to making horror again after this little since space he already made the sublime king of the and the absolutely brilliant,negative +i haven't seen this film in years but the awful taste of performance still on my tongue some have commented on how quaid has jerry lee lewis to a but the fact is he only appears to have the most extreme stage jerry in mind nobody acts that way all the time and the performance comes off as hopelessly lewis to a caricature the nuances of a man's life are lost in the of sheer over acting br br the author of the book this is based on nick is a good writer who has written several fine musical i particularly liked on dean martin in the books gives us a full human being both separate from and involved in the acting seems to imply that jerry never acted like a human being if people were like this no one would bother to hang around them as cartoons go it is mildly amusing but otherwise it is one of the most film destroying performances i have had the honor of viewing terrible,negative +i hadn't planned on seeing this movie however i wasn't disappointed when a friend dragged me along although there are no real surprises here the guys do reasonably well with their obviously modest budget br br if you've seen the trailer you probably know what to expect from this type of movie and there's a pretty constant stream of jokes here with a couple of classic moments with the probably being an excellent flashback to what the guys were like in the 1980's also i've read elsewhere that the ending was a disappointment but i found it different from what i had expected from this genre br br overall this movie wont change your life but it's got enough laughs there to keep you entertained throughout,positive +this royal basically had the message of wrestling these days gimmick and image are more popular then wrestling ability br br vs edge pretty good match a lot of heat for edge who was just starting out as a again and what better way to go into a match with it kind of got a little slower at the end then usual overall this match gets a 6 10 undertaker vs not a good match undertaker had to carry through this match who seemed to be really lost and screwed up his moves it did get interesting to see gene and a bit later kane come into this match overall the fans seemed more interested when this match ended 2 10 kurt angle vs vs big show this match was slow at first but got pretty good at the end when angle managed to speed up the match kurt angle did some really good wrestling moves and proves he is the best wrestler out of the match and big show put on a slow match the ending to this match was bad over all this match was a 5 10 because of kurt angle randy vs good match surprising heat for randy who was the face in this match randy proved he can go the limit with any top star this match also marked the first match has where someone run down and save him from a loss over all this match was about a 6 10 br br royal match was ok some surprises some not so good surprises i was kind of upset that kurt angle wasn't given enough time in this match but over all this match had a guy who i never thought would be pushed so soon i won't tell ya who wins i give this match a 8 10,positive +when i first heard about this movie i noticed it was one of the most controversial films of the 1970s i noticed the music was by john so i figured i had nothing to loose so i got it what a surprise the movie was awesome it was true love is all about the characters paul and michelle had no no money and sometimes no food yet they were still happy i recommended this film to all my friends but they all my tastes and even called me names the movie featured two naked i think that only made the movie more realistic the cinematography was great and it only come to show the great abilities of director lewis gilbert,positive +title dracula a d 1972 br br director alan gibson br br cast peter cushing christopher lee stephanie br br review sometimes movies can be time that transport you back to any given time in this case our time capsule is dracula a d 1972 which us back to a time in which austin powers would have felt right at home br br the story is about these group of kids were not a gang were a group that love to hang out at a shop called the one day johnny hmm strange last name wait it spells dracula backwards a new member of the group offers the group a new way to get their kicks he offers them a night of black mass and black magic to which they also say sure why the hell not it could be fun so in no time flat the find themselves count dracula from the br br this movie opens up with a swinging party at some rich home he knows non of the people at his party yet there they all are the night away in his house doing drugs making out and dancing on top of tables the filmmakers made sure that this sequence was completely in whatever young people considered cool at that time everyone says words like way out and and they finish many of their sentences saying all that jazz so yeah its pretty evident that this is the 70s to top it all off there's a band that sounds something like airplane i mean you'll be drowned in all things 70s and as i watched this i kept asking myself how the heck is dracula with his black cape and get up going to fit into all this and thats exactly what happens old dracula feels out of place amidst all the and the rock and roll and drugs many of the scenes in the film are great but sadly the music they decided to add to the proceedings doesn't fit at all and completely takes you out of the mood of things something horrifying or scary will be happening on screen and suddenly a bunch of loud and start to beat and your just completely taken out of the horror element that sucked out the atmosphere right out of this movie for me br br but all in all putting all the distracting 70s music aside an illness that satanic of dracula also suffered the movie was pretty good but i will mention this the story was just a re of what we had seen before in taste the blood of dracula in fact the story is damn near identical lets see a young ring and check he then decides to bring dracula back to life with the help of some people who know nothing about what they are getting into check black mass to bring dracula back in a church check the list of similarities goes on and on so this movie ain't very original if you ask me br br there are a few things that make this movie worth while though for example the fact that the movie is a time capsule to london in the early seventies makes the film entertaining i kept and laughing every time someone spoke in 70 i couldn't believe some of the clothes these people wore and the cars they drove it made the movie fun for me but we are here to get were here to see kill a few and take his revenge on the house of van did we get any of that well yeah there's a few good sequences in there to satisfy old school hammer fans first off there's the black mass sequence which was above all things satanic they mention the name of many a demon and lots blood is that sequence was awesome but it was messed up by the music in its most crucial moment then there's actual which ill admit was great from a visual standpoint some comes out of grave and slowly but surely christopher and face emerge from the fog cool shot i loved it we have a cushing and lee face off at the end and i couldn't help to laugh at one point when dracula a piece of furniture through the air i laugh because he has done this in every single film since horror of dracula its this hammer tradition where the characters start throwing candle sticks and at each other and i think to myself aren't their more exciting things to show then a bad guy throwing a candle stick at our hero oh well demise in this one is very similar to all the other hammer before it vampire gets and then we cut to a series of frames until there's only left br br all in all an unintentionally funny hammer dracula film its trapped in the 70s and though that makes it a fun watch and its not as horrible as satanic of dracula it still doesn't well with the dracula universe we had come to expect from hammer br br rating 3 1 2 out of 5,negative +a year after her first special my name is barbra barbra streisand with her production team to produce this follow up cbs tv special in then revolutionary color first broadcast in march 1966 color me barbra follows a similar format to its predecessor three segments the first two with unique concepts the first takes place in the after hours of the philadelphia museum of art where dressed as a period maid she the and becomes part of the artwork through song in various streisand expresses a variety of from the comedy of the minute to the melodrama of non in a painting to the style frenzy of gotta move set to abstract art my favorite moment in the special is when she transforms into a dead of queen while singing a haunting rendition of rogers and where or when br br opening with another comic monologue full of silly non this time in french the second segment is back in the studio for a colored circus where she with animals including her beloved she finds an appropriate context for sam you made the pants too long with a of and her profile to an with we have so much in common as with the first special the program ends with a riveting solo concert in which she sings some any place i hang my hat is home where am i going and starting here starting now among them also included is the brief introduction she filmed in 1986 ironically dressed in all white when the special was first released on vhs the of locale and song is even more effective than in her first special and a 23 year old streisand is in peak form,positive +101 is basically about a girl named who into an all boys school during the first year that they girls into it that raw plot line is i'll admit a pretty good idea although this show was meant for children a five year old could probably point out its fatal flaws first is a cliché character her being super popular super attractive super smart and there s nothing wrong with her no girl is like that it feels like the show was put the spotlight on jamie spears and increase her fame dana who appeared at the beginning of the first season is just plain mean however in my opinion she was probably the most realistic character of them all which is sad seeing that dana is never nice nicole is too and acts like a complete but mysteriously gets straight lola seems to be able to fool anything with her emmy deserving acting skills quinn is supposed to be super smart and although she is able to create the most unrealistic things she is also made out to be weird and she never gets any guys although she is both beautiful and smart while lola and nicole get guys and they're all beauty and no personality chase and michael are very similar and i even sometimes get them confused logan is rich and hands out millions like they're dollars that rich i've also noticed that every character on the show is mean to that girl who does nothing but act nice to them that's not funny that's mean and it just influences young girls to act mean to totally nice people finally the school itself adds the to the unreal cake by providing the students with 5 star such as a location bar hot with free machines pool movie theater and the for boys and girls to go into the other rooms at most schools if a boy were to go into a girl's or vice versa they would be br br in conclusion 101 was poorly written and should have spent a few more years in the process,negative +it was by a previous poster that the military would not be to the police in a disaster as depicted in the film in fact the military role would be to supply aid to the civil authorities when to do so the civil authorities would retain in the army would need 48 hours or so to themselves there not being much army presence in london especially with current overseas even then they would be on calling in the br br as for we were given the impression that it was a full department in its own right even reference to a met police division in fact stands for office room a it's just the room where the or meet their to discuss the current,negative +ed one of the most famous serial killers of all time he was the inspiration for famous movie killers like norman bates and buffalo bill he is also one of the most sick and disturbing killers of all time i watched a documentary on him so i know his story pretty well when i saw this i was curious because i thought it was supposed to be like a documentary re but i have to say that this was just a pathetic waste of time first off the facts are completely wrong with a few minor exceptions and secondly this was just a stupid hollywood story when these horrific murders really happened and they just made it into a cheap buck not to mention that if they were going to make it into a horror movie this was poorly acted br br ed he lives in a small town in called but he has a little secret that the whole town is being by he up dead bodies as well as brutally murdering people bobby a deputy is on the case to get ed only no one knows who the killer is at first just finding crime scene after crime scene but things get personal when ed starts messing with the family and friends br br of course this movie was just and completely insulting to the true story i always thought that bad acting is a necessary tool to a horror flick but for this story it should have been a better acted film not to mention it should have been more of a documentary than a stupid horror film please stay away from this film it's completely pathetic and untrue to the story of ed br br 1 10,negative +i was totally surprised just how good this movie actually is because when i first saw it i was only mildly amused i must say however that i am still very disappointed that donald wasn't given a bigger and better role he was an enormous talent br br there is a great chemistry among all the main cast members and matthau has never been funnier br br i am tremendously glad that this picture got made because we get to see lemmon and matthau team up for the very last time in a vehicle that puts their talent to great use brent proves that data from star trek the next is not the only good character he can play br br the storyline is really quite simple but the comedy and the characters work really well and i laughed throughout this movie and i highly recommend it,positive +i'm sorry to say this but i didn't enjoy this movie at all it was just too boring so boring that i couldn't watch the rest of it it's not as interesting as the lion king or that's why i hate this stupid days because these days are just not what they used to be the movies that disney have released lately really sucks i miss the old days when they used to produce good movies like the lion king cinderella the and robin hood this movie is really awful i really tried my best to be interested in this movie but i just couldn't i don't think i could recommend this film to anyone i would recommend the ones that i just mention above,negative +i had the chance to watch blind spot in and i enjoyed it tremendously i thought it to be one of the most captivating movies that i'd seen for a long time one of the best points of the film was to meet new fresh faces and great actors behind them in unexpectedly and brilliantly filmed great locations the three heroes share a chemistry on screen that runs all across the film making it so thrilling they are set on outstanding landscapes spotted by such an original eye the work is just great that makes you feel like you are discovering them for the first time the mood of the desert everywhere and even the scenes filmed in the streets of los angeles or san seem to be a natural of it the story rides you smoothly through all these beautiful settings to lead you to a bitter sweet ending being the perfect climax for this perfect journey the construction of the film itself is a master craft the skilled use of innovative resources like stills memories into the film will compare to those hand made pieces of work so rare and so enjoyable blind spot achieves to capture the essence of the desert taking you to an universal common ground where anyone of us can feel being both and native,positive +almost 4 years after the events of if asked what comes to mind about that day most people would probably comment on things such as the sight of planes crashing into and the collapse of the twin towers the scores of people being killed acts of terrorism and mixed together etc everyone who was alive at the time will never forget that day yet for most of us the memories although moving are not on a personal level now comes an extraordinary film which gives everyone who did not lose a friend or a family member a chance to become involved at a personal level in just what we lost on this is a film that needs to be seen,positive +this is without a doubt the worst sequel i have ever seen i've seen plenty of them to make that conclusion the plot is simply ridiculous i can catch a ball run around a field too why can't i play in the yes i know this movie was intended for children but there are just some plots that even children can realize are totally dumb unrealistic the first air bud movie was pretty good but this one was a total crash disney is it if i controlled who won the awards i would give this one a couple have a nice day,negative +okay i can sit through almost any movie and i tend to get a real kick out of sci fi originals but there was a major flaw in this movie that made me have to turn it off half an hour into it br br having served in the us army there are certain expectations in a movie including the military at least some semblance of attention to proper military rank uniform and is necessary if you expect a viewer to actually enjoy the experience bats human had characters wearing rank that was facing the wrong direction on the and later in the movie the time was listed as 11 00 hours but it was full dark outside even if the script was perfectly done and the dialogue spectacular and the acting oscar worthy if the people making the movie don't care enough about the movie to even bother to look up the proper way to display military time why should anybody bother to attempt to watch it,negative +i find it terribly ironic that left wing hollywood continues to its making these awful movies that neither the war on terror nor embrace it br br if you're a sixties survivor and a committed and you're hoping for an all out of war like born on the fourth of july or all quiet on the western front this movie will really feel like a rip off none of these soldiers actually question this war or any war or the idea of war they just about having to do another tour br br on the other hand if you're a patriotic american who wants to see a story of courage and honor this movie will really feel like a rip off none of these soldiers loves america or even loves the service the way they and makes them come across more like suburban teenagers than blue collar tough guys it's not we were soldiers and it's not of it's not even mindless action and the war scenes are less rambo and more buffy br br ryan so completely cannot carry this kind of movie though he's sexy in a rough trade men's room sort of way it's hard to picture him as a slow texas boy who wants to stand up and be counted this is no sgt in the naked and the dead he's more like joel in truman other voices other rooms he can't sell you on the idea that he's been in combat and done his bit or that he wants his woman and wants her right now he on the battlefield and in the bedroom scenes looking as if he would much prefer to bend over and take a good stiff attack from the rear,negative +like a lot of the comments above me also i though this was the average scifi movie but unfortunately it was not i found it rather and indeed preaching br br but that is not the only comment the scenes are very not as in scifi as i will explain a in a few moments the next sentence is a small spoiler the movie more or less represents a discussion between two groups the physical setting of a discussion typically involves two or three men standing next to each other the middle one typically speaking in the worst case the other party is represented by one person br br also the interviews the have are very artificial sometimes even for example sometimes the discussion is between the i mean from a point of the interviewed moreover the interview persons always stay calm they say everything without normal emotions i e you cannot tell whether they lie or not are mad or not they show almost nothing br br this is also very the always believe everything they are told by the people they interview br br bottom line br br all conversations contain br br facts br br pro con arguments br br there are no lies nobody lies the next sentence is a spoiler ignore if you still plan to see the movie the only lie happening is to demonstrate how non are br br this makes me conclude that the movie is a b movie it is very similar to 9 from outer from the 50's but this movie also has an annoying wrong set discussion about aliens and christian belief br br note i have no intention to insult christians people who believe in aliens or else this is a thought i have about the movie not about people br br moreover i would like to note that i don't know whether the actors are bad or were just given terrible scripts,negative +i would give this television series a 10 plus if i could the writers were on and i think the best actors and actresses were a bonus to the show these characters were so real one could tell that from the two main actresses ms ms that their relationship on off camera was genuine it didn't just end when you hear those familiar words cut at the end of a take the show has thought me a lot about life for e g historical struggles and relationships every day situations every household have same situations no matter who the members are it really came down to just being a wonderful family show that at the end of every episode you can just sit on your living room couch and say to yourself now what did i learn from this particular episode br br i must say i have taped most of the episodes and i find myself watching them over and over again br br now you know why i gave it a 10,positive +i mention that there may be a spoiler here just to be because of what i discuss although i don't really think i am giving away anything important any are really to this film's success or a viewer's ability to enjoy it br br while not without some very minor flaws this is a beautiful and very moving film about friendship time and the choices people make about their lives yet at the same time it is also a very humorous film with small mostly understated bits of comedy woven in throughout for much of the film it progresses at a fairly pace but it does not seem slow at all since the film draws one into it and into the lives of the characters and at first it is mostly rather light hearted some have commented that much of the film seems slow but it is such a wonderful portrayal of the lives of such sympathetic characters that one could watch it almost endlessly as it progresses the film becomes more emotional and moving up to the very end and the progression is handled wonderfully br br eventually some of the characters decide to rob a bank and although it is perhaps somewhat hard to believe that is beside the point it is a wonderful addition to the love that these friends have for each other while at the same time it accents the humour and adds a little more irony to the film and although hardly original to have a bunch of old guys rob a bank the context and details are quite original and they do it wonderfully making it really quite funny as well such as when if i remember correctly his to disguise the fact he's old br br as i said most of the other comedy is rather low key but still very humorous so i was constantly throughout br br the actors are probably the real key to this film they the characters with deep personality and sympathy and portray them with great care and warmth there are some small or tiny details of the characters' personalities which are pulled off smoothly and beautifully of course the film is about the personalities of these very characters and how they care for and interact with one another it succeeds so well because of them and if lesser actors had the roles the movie could well have failed br br is not without sadness but that simply provides the full range of emotions and provides a more powerful experience in fact the film is so moving and filled with so much love from such rich characters that it is in the end a very heart warming satisfying and even happy film despite its sadness i could watch it over and over,positive +the stuff dreams are made of a complete retelling of the play as a dream of vengeance will but will delight the open minded a superb effort great cinematography acting and script 11 stars,positive +obvious vehicle for ryan it seem the studios were hoping he could play a lead tough cop and not look like he's 16 he can't br br jason and snipes serve as to but when they're not on the screen his shallow acting style has nothing to off of br br the script is a typical late 20th century good cop bad cop with a ridiculously predictable plot and dialogue lifted out of 1970s tv cop shows such as the streets of san francisco snipes his role as the eternal black hat villain playing a slightly less crazed madman than his man role however there wasn't much for snipes and to chew on character he'd given up and something this movie badly needed of br br truly forgettable moment ryan on dogma are you a no it's just something i picked up along the way,negative +the has happened having first witnessed it a few years ago i have had a film that has been my for awfulness and that film was called island a family adventure movie with hulk hogan and grace jones i'm not making this up it to new depths of movie making and is still the only film i've seen that made me wonder what else the film's budget could have been spent on like new schools or cancer treating drugs however for sheer and levels of crap any film will be having to lower their standards even lower if they wish to guest house to the distinction of being one of the very worst movies i've ever had to watch br br based loosely around the but amusing tv show bottom this film introduces us to two of the biggest losers imaginable richard is a hotel manager as as anyone you can imagine and so as to almost from every action his buddy eddie director adrian is an alcoholic waste of human life and together they try to run worst hotel upon a cliff top next to a nuclear power station between them they in violence with sound effects at regular steal anything remotely valuable or interesting from the fools who stay there and stare at any woman at all the plot such as it is involves the arrival of italian screen gina vincent who is fleeing from her wedding and attempts to lay low at the guest house much to the of and eddie and that's it br br i used to think that the carry on films represented everything bad about the uk film industry and god knows we've spent so much time and money trying to escape that god awful legacy we've had films like 28 days later four and a funeral and the brilliant shaun of the dead also starring simon pegg but this this drags those films screaming and kicking back to the days of sid james and barbara top flying off with the aid of a guest house is so low in its ambition that it insults you the minute you watch it i kept watching waiting in anticipation for the jokes to start but they never came just an endless stream of trapped gags unimaginative scenarios that defy explanation slightly amusing violence with pans and doors and almost nothing raising so much as a come the first ad break it was on tv you see and i was ready to switch off but my loyal duties to you my readers kept me going i'm watching this so they don't have to became my so you guys better remember how much you owe me for this because this was about as much fun as having sand kicking into my eyes and being force fed dog food br br trust me i used to love the bottom tv show the combination of suitably acting from and with juvenile humour worked for half an hour every week certainly not for an hour and a half as and themselves in their little private joke and bore and the rest of the audience honestly this makes drop dead fred seem like the godfather and should you happen to meet either of these two people who are pretty much solely responsible for the chaos on screen pretending to be a movie feel free to deliver a boot to their region they'd probably enjoy it pegg and bill both as guests at the hotel are dragged down with this sinking ship but at least they survived and should not be so lucky the movie equivalent of and should be avoided as such,negative +i on here right after watching this movie feeling that it was so awful that at least its reviews might be entertaining but all you appear to kind of like it and so since i want the job done right br br from the opening shot the movie its contempt for the audience's attention span by showing an entirely picture of an irrelevant bridge for a long long time then it goes to some slow motion which is at least a little bit cool but then that of excitement by the most soundtrack song i've ever heard some girl in french over what sounds like sheets of together whoever decided that needed to be there has never ridden a i guarantee it it seemed to be there to test the limits of the audience's patience br br from there the movie is about 50 per slow motion you know what's worse than a gratuitous slow motion shot a gratuitous slow motion shot of nothing happening here's a guy walking along a path here's a guy sitting here's a guy looking around here's a guy looking at another guy after a while i started watching the movie at double speed bringing it back down whenever people appeared on screen engaging in actual dialog which was rare once astonishingly i the movie to find out what a girl was saying only to find that the camera was showing her talking but the sound was another horrible horrible song and her actual voice was not br br this reminds me of some great advice i heard once about writing if you don't have anything to say don't use fancy tricks to pretend as though you do get back to work and think of something to say all these camera tricks like the slow motion and weird lighting and and freaky music is what the absence of content looks and sounds like a lot of people have apparently bought it and perceive emotional gravity and deep meaning but i think they are this onto a movie that did not do any of the work involved in creating it,negative +when i first got wind of this picture it was just called shepherd and was supposed to be the film that would put back into chances of doing theatrical i was very well excited about the whole piece br br by the time it was titled the shepherd border i was tap dancing in excitement for this flick with at the of directing and perry pulling stunt i almost me pants in anticipation were released of kicking 8 different kinds of as well as scott playing what i thought was the villain and i was mind blown in excitement i thought it was going to be another epic martial arts situation like lone wolf br br then it came out i ordered it off blockbuster online for 20 and was ready for anything the reviews from net kinda had my ideas altered but i myself the mail came on day 4 and i ripped open the package my initial plan was to rush upstairs rip the face off the cardboard then smash the case in the proper dynamics so the disc would land in my dvd player however i at the case for 10 minutes then placed the disc in my player and watched the film br br by the time it was over i was cool as a fool in the pool the shepherd is certainly one of my all time favorite direct to video films ever and makes look like even more of the toilet mess that it is sure some of the fights ran a bit short but they were still very awesome the were superb as was scott who should have been the villain unlike the forgettable steven lord br br i highly recommend this flick seriously,positive +in fact everyone responsible for this dreck ought to be whipped dragged and hung if this is what great eugene drama is like i never want to be victim to viewing it ever again there are so many things wrong w this feature where does one begin first elmer score is present thru out the entire film even in the quiet scenes where background music from the character's motivations second these characters are not pleasant people and while some reviewers might enjoy that i personally disliked every scene in which ate up the scenery but that was the way his characters was written to be disliked w loren it just never is made clear whether she's good or bad … and all her about how she's going to change things back to the way they were before the baby arrives … well i saw what was coming clearly is miscast and then he plays the role like a warm up for norman bates which he played two years later even wanting to take blame for the murder at the end hokey third this film is a studio sound stage production and it suffers because of it the story would have from location shooting to develop a sense of place regarding the farm which all the main leads are fighting over as it is filmed there's no sense of value to the property because the film has a studio sound stage feel to it that isn't convincing this is a really awful film,negative +ah man this movie was funny as hell yet strange i like how they kept the language in this movie it just felt ironic because of how idiotic the movie really was this movie has got to be one of best movies highly recommended for some senseless fun,positive +i got subjected to this pile one afternoon when my mother in law was watching it i can't get over someone basically doing a remake of a crappy high budget hollywood flop the core with washed up actors like luke perry if the high budget one what makes people think doing the same movie 2 years later with no budget would go anywhere i was laughing through most of the movie because of how insanely similar it was in fact i am shocked it's not held up in legal rather than airing on tv and how it was basically the script of the core just badly which if you have seen the core you know why doing it worse is funny since the core was already so bad it was funny br br if you enjoy getting a laugh out of really bad movies this one will be right up your alley the only thing i can say is that i wish luke perry was able to have a career because he isn't a horrible actor he just lands horrible roles crappy made for tv movies that will only run on daytime television is pretty much one step closer to the end for him if it wasn't for he would have a career,negative +i love most movies and i'm a big fan of sean bean so i thought that i would at least like this movie also i'm canadian and this is a mostly canadian movie so i was prepared to cut it some serious slack nothing could have prepared me for the garbage that is steve as an action hero give me a break the acting throughout the movie was so bad i am going to have trouble sleeping tonight i now have only two wishes in my life br br 1 i hope that you never have to sit through this movie 2 i wish i could get those 6 hours back oh wait the movie's under 2 hours it only seemed like 6 hours br br don't watch this seriously,negative +i just watched the movie tonight and i found it brilliant it doesn't have special effects that blow your mind and it's not violent or bloody no terrorist or aliens but it's brilliant it's just plain nice sweet and it brought me to a whole different time a much simpler time where people could take their time to walk down the street and look out at the ocean i think it was beautiful and i for one recommend it nick was a great character and his friendship with harry was one of the highlights of the movie everyone is entitled to their opinion but i believe everyone should watch this mostly when they feel down or when they want to share something nice with their friends,positive +a funny thing happened to me while watching on the one hand the hero is a deaf mute and the director is totally unable to make us understand why he does what he does er excuse me corpses through his images on the other hand the english version at least is very badly dubbed so i found myself wishing there had been both more and less dialogue at the same time this film is stupid funny how this guy has access to every graveyard and in his town and lurid where would we be in a 70s without our gratuitous lesbian scene not to mention the romantic aspect oh how sweet miss it,negative +i saw this when it first came out and have seen it several times since i have the dvd it's one of drew best works and one that is worth seeing more than once br br not being popular in high school was one f the things in the film i could relate to i wasn't quite as tortured as was during her real high school days or like but i was never the go to the major party type either the prom scene were the three popular girls fall victim to their own prank as pushes way the intended victim is my favorite scene and i when i first saw it br br i can still watch this movie today it is excellent,positive +gary busey did a splendid job playing the rock n roll legend buddy holly 1936 he does have a spitting image to the man being a garage band in the 50's is sure different from today's having a group of three is usually simple back in those days i bet that buddy holly busey was a much better musician than most of what i heard since he lived in texas it was only a quiet country town back then his parents were christians though his mother was a strong of her son's work that's one of the reasons he didn't act like elvis he stuck to his ways that really makes him good when he went to he saw how bad the producers were they hated rock n roll that turned holly off big time getting used to the different atmosphere was a challenge to holly and his friends he got to tour with sam went to the famous apollo which the all american audience quickly accepted them i liked that and sam made sure holly and his band got some service that's what i call tolerance it's sad that he ritchie and j p the big richardson had their music careers cut short by a plane crash in 1959 at least their memories will live on in our hearts i don't what inaccuracies were in the movie all i care is that buddy holly the obstacles of music and politics in that time and the music is nearly perfect for gary busey he was perfect in the role and making the music as well god bless you gary busey 5 stars,positive +in these modern times as subject known quite well to the director of the short film that this german count is going to talk politically correct films are the of the modern young projects shoulder arms directed by charlie chaplin during wwi the film was released only a few weeks before the is an obvious example of why the early cinema were a very bold people certainly to direct a humorous film inspired in the terrible bloody first world war was a complicated matter that only few directors with those dangerous and daring ideas could be allowed to to venture upon such delicate enterprise and with success was reserved only to geniuses br br as this german count said shoulder arms was made during wwi that time in where definitely the whole world lost its innocence fortunately not the german fat of this and it is a hilarious inventive social satire about that and any war the film it is full of great gags and entertaining film continuity for a story in where that tramp will live though and courageous adventures in the front a hero for the or not br br to mock the war the the frontal attacks and the germans how you dare by the way there are a lot of inaccuracies in the film … the german soldiers by that time had and longer not to mention that the lacks many in his in an elegant funny and delicate way it is even today a film miracle impossible of being keeping in mind those terrible wartime circumstances the difficult task is only possible thanks to a lot of creativity and talent obviously charlie chaplin had very much of it br br and now if you'll allow me i must take my leave because this german count must go back to the br br von http com,positive +a young doctor and his wife are suddenly expecting a child both are disturbed about a two hour memory on the night of conception interesting twist on an hackneyed story very good f x and interesting editing is outstanding in a cast that features arnold and brad brings to the outlandish kudos to director brian,negative +director todd unexpected turn into sentimental coming out drama a predictable result nothing new to see here attractive but unconvincing leads these 20 somethings are supposed to be in high school out about confused adolescent sexuality doesn't strike me as the best way to explore the promise of anonymous which was equally self involved but also honest raw and by comparison not all that i have no idea what to make of this drab and uninspiring movie other than to hope that finds another career sure it's but mike br br no single however is as awful as jim electronic score which non stop wall to wall for the full length of this movie if i'd seen this and heard this in a theatre i would have walked out thankfully on my i could and hit mute,negative +scarlet dawn casts douglas fairbanks jr as a russian baron by the forces of the russian revolution and now has to for himself in a world not terribly to former he's also not terribly suited for any kind of real work br br doug might have been caught by the but for the fact that his former servant nancy didn't give him away got a big old crush on doug and they do marry once arriving in in which throughout the film is referred to by its former christian name of they marry and settle down with doug now reduced to br br but former mistress who's always playing bad girls of a sort on film spots him and offers to have him get back into somewhat the style he was once to as part of a against father and daughter american tourists guy and sheila terry br br good thing this film has the incredibly short running time of only minutes usually those were given to b westerns because it's both tedious and melodramatic the ending is rather unbelievable doug knew he was in a special and really overacts to cover up the of a unbelievable story br br what i didn't understand was that fairbanks was trained in the military profession why didn't he just become a soldier after leaving the new soviet union that didn't make sense to me at all br br i'd only see this if i was a dedicated fan of any the main players,negative +my interpretation is that the term is used in the sense of the opposite of people who are not warm toward others the film reminds me of the of the in 'the art of where his main point is that the key to happiness is connecting with others not only are the characters in the film but they are also shy quiet and these characteristics appear to prevent them amongst other things from and enjoying relationships and being able to talk about and deal with their problems and as a result they are terribly unhappy i see it as a strong of the teaching i'm not a by the way if you are one of the people who thinks that their behavior is a natural response to living in a large city then i think you may be right but i recommend the book city life need not be like this br br i can see why some people found it boring it does drag a bit in places and the characters are not particularly likable and it does contrast to lost in translation where the characters are much more likable and do connect with one another even though they don't connect with people generally,positive +i paid attention and enjoyed the very rich expressions of the main actress nicholson i don't have words to describe how much have i been enchanted all the actors and actresses played well especially i noticed the solid good character who has been consistent in the future andy who played carl i think that the idea to show a variety of friends and relatives with different opinions and the several is like the real world jay who played ed the future husband also played very real behavior but i want to emphasize again the point of very rich expressions which nicholson is capable of and does so naturally was overwhelming for me indeed the subject which this movie handles seems to me as very important and touches strongly meaningful thoughts of many people i've seen this movie several times and have not been bored it raises again and again in my thoughts,positive +now i remember what the filmmakers were ripping off before pulp fiction it was david lynch right br br i hunted this thing down to see kyle what a waste of a perfectly good it was so painful to watch him sort of like when someone you love is horribly sick and there's nothing you can do br br nearly every cliche in the book the desert the psycho the quirky mob boss the biker tracy walker who fortunately was only in one scene but i kept expecting him to and say something strange and profound like if a man wants to know where he's going he's got to look at where he's been or some contrived garbage like that i have a theory as to why so many are short on location in the desert i think it's because they can save money on lighting br br if you like to be in pain find this movie and give it a viewing if you're a fan of kyle watch reruns of homicide on court tv if you want a good quirky road thriller check out wild at heart br br there is a reason that no one has heard of my god what a waste of a good title,negative +jack frost 2 was a horrible terrible sadly pathetic excuse for a to a great movie the original was a low budget comedy horror film about a murdered who was turned into a snowman after an accident with some toxic waste and the snowman went around murdering people and avoiding blow like the plague this however was a far cry from the quality of the original it seems like this even had a lower budget because for some reason after an hour into this film i still hadn't seen the snowman some revenge he's getting if he's always in the form of ice with a cheesy voice over and a little shake of the he rests in to give animation to the character disappointing to no belief even for a fan of bad cinema,negative +time to kill by is a bit of a strange film but it's good in it's own way br br i won't bother with a summary of the plot most that i've read gives the wrong impression and makes me believe that most people who wrote those didn't really understand the film and you need to understand it to some level even if you cannot describe for yourself what it's actually about this film is strange in a once upon a time in america way only shorter br br many stars whatever that may mean have played in lesser known italian productions it's known that many actors who are past their prime or slowly rising to it do this cage was not yet a real star when this was made i'm not a fan of him he's very good in some roles raising arizona bringing out the dead and weak when he plays the hero i don't really know what to think of him in this one but he sure doesn't portray the typical hero main character this film could have done without him but the fact that he starred may be the only reason this one ever made it to dvd br br the supporting cast is good not one of them looks fake and they act as if they are really there solid support br br i have seen 3 films by and this one and i think he is one of the greater directors of this time unfortunately nobody knows him this movie was his last in a long time a break of 19 years i think that this movie might have failed at the office but from the way it is done i think that for it was a personal project that he really liked br br the production is great it's always enough the dusty army camps the cities and the magnificent landscape all play a great part it all feels very real in some scenes you can almost feel the heat the sound itself is nothing special but the music by is very good it's not a piece that you will when in the shower but it sure works great br br so this movie looks feels and sounds just right it doesn't serve the lessons learned from it on a golden but that may be the biggest difference between hollywood and euro cinema all around it might sound strange to give it an 8 and not recommend it to people but that is what i do if you are looking for action avoid this one if you are looking for a well made apocalypse now in a different time and setting but with a bit of similar journey into a of sorry if this sound corny but i don't know what else to call it you just might enjoy this one a lot,positive +who wrote the script for this movie the staff at disney studios this is the most adaptation of any story ever i wanted to laugh at a few scenes and cry at others and that was only because of how pitiful it was i'll have to hand it credit it did have a few funny scenes but i could've spent better time with my evening very seldom do i turn off a movie after only a quarter of the way through,negative +i'm a fan of the horror movie regardless of which it comes from i know what to expect from the west the east and most horrors in the middle so i received the dvd of in the post and looked forward to a slow build of ever increasing tension and scary children with odd disjointed movements hiding under br br the major selling point for this film was that it has a far more linear story line than many of this you get who the characters are where they are from and what they do you get the information nice couple can't have children and realise that the premise is just too normal for something freaky not to happen br br and then comes the bad the number one complaint is that the story is obvious i got it pretty much the moment the kid the tree i knew where the film was going and was even able to predict the order of death and for what reason br br the editing is shocking and unfortunately not to the benefit of the film even were i still the events tension isn't allowed to build because the director seems to have gotten a new editing for his birthday and wanted to use it as much as possible br br and my final is this the tree was unnecessary this would have been a perfectly good tale of subtle horror with just the couple breaking down over the death of the child the titular tree bought nothing new or exciting to the film so i'll finish where i started my overall impression was ',negative +now before people start having a breakdown about this movie those who play anyway this is a film it's been given the hollywood treatment to entertain people and therefore those who play myself included are naturally gonna pick holes in the choreography of the game in the film it is a decent film and bring to the attention the morals and ideas behind the game of br br the film is based on a real team a real coach and his work helping guide kids in the right direction to be better people in the future and also is based on real people who have played for the team its just a typical sports movie with a character who is misguided and eventually finds his way on the right track again through the medium in this case is generally a feel good movie that is enjoyable but has flaws in terms of it's portrayal of the game however like i said it is a film under the hollywood treatment,positive +all right there's no way to this the plot was ridiculous the premise was ridiculous the acting was the effects were laughable and all of the scenes appear to have been filmed in new central park that having been said there was something about this movie that i couldn't walk away from maybe it was the atmosphere or maybe it was the evil super or the amazon br br anyway i'm not one to sit on the and without pointing out a few redeeming qualities so here they are br br a violent off shoot of the women's movement is portrayed in a wilderness setting central park of course and all of the young men out there will be very impressed furthermore some of the scenes in which certain characters lose consciousness are dramatic you'll note that i write dramatic rather than convincing br br all i can say is that some people like b movies and i'm one of them if you're one of them too then give it a go cheers mr this is one for the ages,negative +i'm a huge space buff and at nearly i've just discovered this flick for the first time i came at it in a way from space 1999 then i went hunting for other anderson creations and found this was their first live action work what a home run i actually heard about this movie many years ago but never knew what it was called so i'm happy to have found it by accident br br these were nothing short of amazing in their writing the execution of the completely believable and realistic looking models the quality of acting etc br br i don't think it looks dated at all let me tell you i'll take good old models over the fake looking cgi crap of today any time seriously most of the rocket scenes looked pretty real they had it down to a science if you choose to think of what you are looking at as real it isn't hard to actually believe it br br also the amount of detail in set designs the beautiful photography the whole look man i wish i could go back to that time they knew how to make great movies in the 60's personally i've lost all interest in hollywood movies today anybody with a budget can do cgi i hate it bring back the models think of all the people that style employed anyway i am if you like good sci fi that's very well done you will do yourself a service by watching this,positive +this film is on my list of worst movies ever made the story is and it is difficult to understand what is going on or the reason for the characters' actions all films need to have an inner logic and this film just doesn't have it the story doesn't make any sense br br to see faye christopher plummer and diana quick wasting their talents in this movie is a crime faye is the lucky one because she plays the victim and gets killed early in the film on the other hand donald sutherland must be an amazing actor because he manages to look good in spite of bad directing and bad writing his performance is believable and he manages to stay in character in spite of everything br br if dame agatha christie were alive she would die laughing the movie is that bad,negative +this was the very first movie i ever saw in my life back in 1974 or 1975 i was 4 years old at the time and saw it at a drive in theatre i did not grasp that this would be a classic at the time i went to sleep about twenty minutes into the movie after seeing it on the television along with two of my other favourite movies car wash my favourite movie and the which seemed to come on every year about the same time all together about 40 50 75 times i knew that here was a movie that i would have as one of my favourites those three movies were the only live action shows that i could watch as a child br br i would not consider this to be a movie but rather an urban interest movie and reminded me of some of my especially the wild irish rose that they my mother also told me about some of the quarter parties that she attended and that some of the things that occurred in the movie were similar in nature to what occurred in real life if you are one of the two or three black people over thirty who hasn't seen this movie yet then i recommend that you buy the dvd right now i'm glad that i was around to witness some of the goings on of the era,positive +the white warrior is definitely one of if not steve reeves weakest films set in 18th or 19th century russia steve plays a warrior who tries to over run a mad man russian by running up a mountain side with his rebel band in a goofy looking russian white for the most part the great reeves is hidden in a goofy length with an even more looking russian hat br br the action is rather minimal with only a good wrestling scene from the mid up that shows off the great reeves this is an apparent attempt by the producers to move reeves out of the sword and genre into another historic era with poor results the dialogue from the script is hard to understand at various points and only commentary from the narrator allows the viewer to understand what is really happening from scene to scene i would image reeves making this film but in an attempt to try and get out of his and and armor it helped launch him to other historic characters such as morgan the pirate and the thief of,negative +this movie was everything but boring it deals with reality to the people who think this movie was boring open your eyes to the real problems in our society our children are dying the consequences of alcohol and drug abuse are not to be ignored i work in a facility as a chemical and i deal with these problems every day people of all ages and all walks of life are by the consequences of their alcohol and drug abuse it destroys families hurts people and leads to serious brain damage all kinds of health problems and death it is all this movie should be shown in every high school in the world if anyone owns this movie and wants to sell it or sell me a copy please e mail me at net thank you,positive +the first two hours of the version are full of character and plot exposition after an early brief sequence of las vegas being hit by the action doesn't really start until the second two hours still some character relationships don't become clear until the second part the actors turn in competent performances but nothing special however better than those in in new york an exception is randy quaid whose character is superfluous and incredibly annoying the plot is a pretty standard mix of parts of independence day speed the day after tomorrow the and several other films you can predict what will happen next and come close to the dialog word for word the special effects are unbelievably bad despite the effects in the in this film seem less realistic than the one in the wizard of oz and other effects were obviously done for less money than such series as and cold case spend on the of a single episode if you have to see a made for tv disaster film see the day after or special instead you'll get better plots acting and effects,negative +i think this show is awesome i love it and i love not in a romantic kind of way but if i was there i would totally support like did and the other girls yeah i mean if they're why don't you want to fight them back is the only who have guts to confront people and say what he thinks not just stay and suck it 100 i love too because like a normal girl who doesn't want to be with and bugs and grass everywhere and sleep in a warm bed with servants i mean if you have the chance and the money why wouldn't you do that and too brought pizza and just like 2 or 3 people said thanks i mean he spend money,positive +i give it 8 out of 10 because it is a cult classic also it is directed by legendary sasquatch hunter robert w morgan who also plays the part of in the film in listening to recent show called the show robert morgan is a co host he tells that because it has become such a cult classic and does well at movie conventions and such there are plans to maybe do a sequel to this film i think he said that two of the original stars have signed on and he hopes to have a few more robert is a good man and i hope it does well he has devoted 50 years of work as a which is also one of my interests and author check out his show on the and maybe look for blood ii sometime in the near future,positive +to soccer fans every where stay away from this movie it was so lame acting lame script lame soccer and no directing i rented this movie during my in asia and was appalled that this was considered one of the better films it was just nonsensical and thoroughly boring there are thousands of rich exciting stories in asia why write a bad story about over the top and stereotypical,negative +if we consider three films with a similar subject which are this one which was made in 1930 'the covered made in and made in 1950 the distance between 'the big and 'the covered is only 7 years whereas the distance between 'the big and is 20 years this is amazing because it shows how much movies evolved in those 7 years and how in the next 20 years the changes were slow to come 'the big trail is technically close to but ages apart from 'the covered the story is about the going from the to the west in power sr is the man leading the he is a rough and mean guy john wayne is the good guy and the film makes too much of a point of his good looks not giving him a chance to be the wayne that we are used to is such a proud lady that you wonder why wayne just does not forget her walsh was a master at showing and cattle moving through the west he directed 'the tall in 1955 which has a lot in common with 'the big,positive +great ensemble cast but unfortunately a bunch of undeveloped ideas make the film drag one feels not at the end after waiting for some kind of conclusion closure or at least an ironic twist br br it had that familiar feel without dare i say it larry as the annoying polar opposite the music was there the about scenes pop up but without any common thread or suspense it as a solo project that ran out of budget br br spoilers the movie title speaks about cheese but she prefers the rice is cheese a better selling title than rice he prefers just any junk food regardless of the sell by date maybe i want someone to eat or ice cream in a pirate suit would have at least tied some scenes together br br marty this is just not funny and overdone people just don't care about a within a show a coffee book table about coffee books was funnier br br unless you are big fans of the cast save your time and eat some cheese it doesn't even have to be with anyone,negative +this is a wonderful look you should the pun at 22 women talking about breasts theirs their other women's and how they affect so many aspects of their lives young girls old women and everyone in between with all etc talk about developing celebrating hiding or their breasts br br it's charming delightful sad funny and everything in between with documentary footage and clips from those famous old young women's films that the girls got taken to the to see the interviews are a fascinating window for men who love women their breasts into what the other half has to say when they don't know you're listening,positive +if it weren't for the editing out of curse words and a when one character give another the finger it would be easy to mistake this low budget for a sci fi channel pilot the plot about the attempts to destroy a group of it originally trained as military weapons ends enough with the hero himself gifted in pursuit of a survivor bent on revenge alas the movie is talky boring predictable and even devoid of interesting special effects top billed louis jr has a minor role as the evil government who the program and now wants to eliminate all he walks through the part and it is hard to understand why he bothered other members of the cast do a decent job with a script that demands little,negative +this is one of the worst movies i've ever seen not only that it is a comedy which isn't funny but it's also very badly made with an over the top direction full of unnecessary split screens and other effects br br the two heroes with their fantasy language are just annoying and it confused me quite a lot that they touched each others all the time but the worst of all that nonsense is the cheap attempt to give that movie some appeal by referring to german history and to show sensitive aspects of the heroes which finds its climax in showing how and cure a mentally ill woman with their lifestyle but i hadn't expect anything better by director michael bully who also made two not funny tv shows a not funny western movie and a nearly not funny sf comedy movie but and had been just a little better in some of their stand up programs for me the only good thing about the movie is alexandra who is very beautiful to me,negative +while the twilight zone was a wonderful show it was also very uneven with some great episodes some lousy ones and many in between don't believe the die hard fans there were some and this was definitely one of them br br in a plot that is obviously meant to be an attack on castro a near peter falk in lots of makeup and a beard a magic mirror that allows him to realize who all his enemies are so he can them while i do believe that castro is a thug and dictator and of thousands of and political prisoners will to this it's amazing how this sort of preachy episode actually makes audiences laugh at the american efforts to the creep and actually makes castro seem okay think about it and company wanted to hurt castro but instead only seemed to be obvious preachy and silly in the process br br it's indeed bad almost laughably bad when seen today,negative +i expected so much more than what i received from watching this movie it is not that i object to literary license if that is what it should be called especially when there is no overt attempt to say based on a true story but this movie is about a real historical person who is so widely known and so deeply into our musical experiences and i expected the movie to be true to history at least in the primary elements this movie took such great exception from the historic record it could only disappoint br br my because i had not the movie at all was that it was true half way through i stopped the movie to look it up on imdb the rest of the movie was a remarkably different experience i was that this was not accurate with history because it was so hard to believe a major portion of the story to enjoy this movie i was required to recognize it as a fantasy a what if it was like this story the movie lacked this honest br br what disappointed me most was the of the the very concept portrayed in the film stretched my imagination to the point of i ended up anything was true to history other than van and his relationship with karl van br br i really enjoyed the performance of ed harris an exceptional actor who knows how to play a role and keep himself out of it and that was about it and for that i give it a 3 10 br br those who that this movie is as good as or better than have not a clue about either either life and are looking only for what this movie really is for in the end it was a cheap novel of a story pulp fiction,negative +i found this movie really hard to sit through my attention kept wandering off the tv as far as romantic movies go this one is the worst i've seen don't bother with it,negative +having been a marine i can tell you that the d i is as accurate a portrayal to date depicting marine boot camp and how boys are turned into men jack is excellent as sgt jim moore a tough but fair in paris island north the film centers on one who doesn't seem to get with the program a more recent film full metal jacket also shows life in basic training and is well worth viewing,positive +this show is really great it's smart it's funny it's great acting and writing this show is really the show i've ever seen the dialogues are really funny and well acted lauren graham and have a great chemistry you really do believe they are mother and daughter this show really showed that mother daughter relationships really don't have to be just mother and daughter they can be best friends but on the same time it shows that it's really hard sometimes being more than just mother and daughter especially with and emily just watch this show i highly recommend it it's great and definitely the best show on the air season 7 stars september 2006 8 on the new the,positive +this film is a joy to watch and should do well on dvd and video i suppose you really have to be irish to appreciate the some of the such as accent and the dress sense of some of the characters but let me assure you that when dylan the is quite familiar to most people from because we have many characters in our fine city that look act and talk like that the sheer simple comedy employed and michael genius acting alone are worth the money but on top of this the plot is great the script is fantastic and the dialogue fast moving and catchy a perfect light entertainment movie without the humour of jim carrey,positive +this is definitely one of the weaker of the series of carry on films it lacks the usual fun and and even the cast seem embarrassed by the poor dialogue by the time this came out the series was in decline and boy does it show if you're coming fresh to this series avoid this one till near the end,negative +i enjoyed this film which i thought was well written and acted br br there was plenty of humour and a thought provoking storyline a warm and enjoyable experience with an emotional ending good fun,positive +sophisticated powerful i could think of a hundred to describe this fantastic work of art and intelligence and still i would feel they were all i can really say is that i am with this film applause to and jean louis may live forever,positive +this movie is by far one of the worst b movies i have ever seen there are no plot twists at all though the acting is decent the storyline is terrible there are also many mistakes in the movie and it was to watch for any of you who like horror movies slasher movies or even b movies i don't recommend this to anyone at all most of the movie is focused on pointless killing in ways that aren't even worth discussing this movie could very well be compared to a crappy remake of which too wasn't that great of a movie for anyone who wishes to spend a day at home watching poorly made movies this one takes the cake,negative +this really is a film of two the first the lives and friendship of two boys one a and the other a down in late 70s afghanistan before the invasion by the works extremely well the young actors turn in convincing performances and seeing afghanistan as it once was throws the present situation there into stark relief br br the real problem comes when we move into the later phase of the story where we join the as a man living in america ancient to his young friend lead him to return to his and it is really at this point that things break down the central adult character is clearly supposed to be sympathetic but in fact comes across as and in self pity it is hard to really care for him and one cannot help but feel that the really interesting story is the one we do not get to see that of his friend br br once he returns to afghanistan the narrative becomes down in a series of highly contrived most remarkably he manages to come across his childhood enemy after all these years almost immediately even though he is not looking for him despite the chaos that has since consumed the country this him to confront past demons in a way that is simply too convenient to be credible the resolution of the narrative is also run through with an awful sentimentality which any really serious points the film may be trying to make br br although it is possible to start seeing characters and the of their lives as symbols of a state which has been torn apart by world politics it is hard to really see this as a film which with any wider political discussion instead the narrative becomes reduced to one character's emotional journey of self discovery and healing unfortunately this character is so dull and wrapped up in himself that it is hard to really become engaged in his story while opportunities to make a really interesting film about afghanistan itself are wasted,negative +the first time i saw this movie i just thought what the hell a 10 year old kid driving around bizarre places meeting bizarre people going after a game called hell yeah i enjoyed this movie a lot br br jordan christopher michael is a brilliant young actor it's a shame he stopped act he very well his character gus on the movie br br gus loses an eye got and go at the most weird cities acting with flea drew barrymore and meat want more br br ok don't even try to understand the story but why this movie needs one just open your mind and let gus drive you into this journey br br gus you won,positive +films are always this is just another case in point out of the five naked women shamelessly here maybe one has real breasts and that's a strong maybe no humor no gore just and some tepid action but know what for fifty cents less than this video rental i could have rented legitimate porn do i feel cheated with always so i prepared myself for a letdown as one must always do,negative +is a very funny entertaining show you shouldn't take all the show seriously but if you wanna have fun that's your tv show being made by the producers of is a quality guarantee and isn't that different from the female warriors formula is brought to the future where they don't have to fight warriors or gods but dangerous robots which in the surface and the humans are forced to live underground along the two seasons of they develop an interesting and funny underground world and we get to know the three main characters jennifer sky gina and victoria they all are different but as a team they work really well the three main actresses appeared previously in like most of the regular guest cast there are some known faces from too or from both shows i specially liked the character played by in which is very different from any of her roles i previously knew so if you liked and you'll love if you don't know them try it i'm sure you'll enjoy it,positive +i saw it tonight and fell asleep in the movie br br that is something that i have not done since i have never fallen asleep at the movies br br i love the original and have seen it several times and recommend it to everyone this may have been the problem but i do not think so because there were a couple of bright spots that showed if done right they could have made this movie work br br bette was under used and anne was over used and miscast br br i do not know why english or anyone for that matter let this go out in that condition br br they billed this as a sex in the city but better not a chance i liked sex in the city a lot and was disappointed by this movie br br so do not waste your money on this movie go see anything but this,negative +the concept of this movie is pretty compelling zombie children climbing out of an abandoned mine to seek revenge for their deaths in the backwoods of cool the problem i had with the movie is the lack of creativity when dealing with the zombies the makers could have really this film up with some terror like imagery a la the ring such as stop action reverse camera walking or stuff like that when the zombie children are through the woods they look like a bunch of 9 year olds walking to a in west philadelphia instead of pick and they could have easily been carrying baseball bats and why would i fear these little kids anyone could just run away in a straight line to safety also who in their right mind would have stayed one night with their children in that creepy run down house the moment i opened that front door and looked around i would have said hmm hmm son go start the car i'm going around back to pee on a bush and then we're out of here totally unbelievable movie don't waste your time,negative +well what do you know i was painting my house today and an john song came on the radio which immediately took me back to this movie which i saw in 1971 so long ago and so far away ten years later i through the country side of france and i sure would have been keen to see michelle the film is probably not very sophisticated by todays standards the pity but it seemed rather back then a few years later a sequel was made with michelle living in a high rise in paris and paul coming back to meet her just like life they had moved on the film was very downbeat still the original was and if you can get a copy go rent it just remember to give it its' due and treat it gently i note americans can be rather so take note contains scenes and themes possibly to middle america,positive +dear friends i've never seen such a trash movie as night of the demons 1988 it seems that the director kevin had the intention to copy classics like the evil dead by sam 1978 or george a romero's return of the living dead from the same year the cinematography was lousy the movie was very dark so i had to turn the control to the maximum indeed horror pictures have to be dark but not the way like night of the demons the entire movie was ridiculous no suspense worse actors except alvin in the role of and horrible make up effects an average vote of 5 stars for that movie i can't believe this perhaps the users were pleased about the tits and of the actresses they were indeed worth 5 stars regards hans,negative +there are frames in this film that could be paintings with vivid colors against muted backgrounds the humorous combination of sexual honesty and innocence is refreshing in this fifties film and makes the old story line of the that becomes a star the can can number at the end seems realistic and exciting but not over the top as in an american dance sequence,positive +i was really beginning to enjoy this show it just started out slow and it wasn't given the chance it deserved it is so many people are not at home watching television i know there are a few talent and singing but i enjoy them as do many other believe it or not when american idol is done for the year i miss it even though this was not american idol i thought it had potential i feel bad for the singers on the show who wee really starting to grow on me i wish they would and put the show back on i think it was a move to my only complaint about the show is i did not care to much for the judges,positive +i just can't get it freaks out on the planet are talking about this one as a must seen they even dare to call it a s exploitation because the possessed girl is priests and is all time don't let me laugh i watched the movie is only at the end of the movie and don't call it it's just bad language that's she is talking and the is a big laugh too she tries to seduce her father while let me be clear with her clothes on you out there it isn't gory or bloody at all everybody is on beyond the door well let me tell that one is for me better than this flick only the last 5 minutes the possessed one is and having weird eyes if i had know that this is so bad then i would never caught me a copy if you really to see a s about watch angel above the devil below or other cheesy ones a of time this is,negative +i thought godzilla 2000 was the worst movie ever until i saw this monstrosity my friends and i went to our local blockbuster and spent about an hour and a half looking for a movie we could not find one since we have seen almost every movie created we decided to look in the low budget horror section we looked for the most attractive cover featuring scantily clad women we finally decided on last party the we made a mistake it seems as though this movie was filmed with the camera that could be found in k mart the actors were picked up at a salvation army and as for steven tyler we will just leave that to the imagination the plot of this movie was ridiculous spoiler alert while watching the movie there is absolutely no closure at all then come to find out all the events were just a dream this movie should also have been about 30 minutes if all the camera on still shots and of walls were taken out it would have been much shorter all i can say is i'm glad there a sequel,negative +this movie is of various super bad tough guy biker characters loosely connected but with no real storyline some of the scenes are nicely filmed if they took the same cast and crew and made a movie called the who was the coolest character in the film and came up with an interesting and continuous story maybe it could be decent as it is prepare for a lame series of tough guy character all of whom do nothing but ride around the desert all day and cause trouble while all staying never getting and keeping their hair and clothes perfect and never needing to look for a home or money etc there was a sort of background story about the characters various people that were killed and a treasure that was probably supposed to be the plot,negative +i saw this film in the theater when it first came out i'm sorry to say and it was one of only a few films i have ever wanted to walk out of early i didn't have a problem with the drug content and i could see how this tale could have been powerful the problem was the film maker working with james woods and sean young drew two of the least lovable characters i have ever seen on film i hated this pair and couldn't have cared less if they sunk straight to the inevitable bottom their was not one surprise in this film every turn of events was so painfully obvious that i felt i could have written the script myself although i like to think i would have done a better job i subsequently heard nightmarish stories about the incidents on the set between sean young and james woods along the lines of some sort of stalking events it made me wonder if the terrible acting out of some bad feelings and anyway i refer to the boost as the worst film i've ever paid money to see,negative +when deranged was made the film makers saw fit to turn ed into even though the film was actually quite close to the facts of the notorious case i presume that enough was that they thought they should change names and such br br ed the butcher of as a true story retelling of the case but actually bears very little resemblance to the history as a biopic type film it is a travesty if ever a film needed names changing it is this one far more so than deranged it is as close to the true crime story as dirty harry was to the true story of the zodiac killings br br ok so that annoyance aside how is it as a horror film well as a horror film well as a film generally it is quite appalling one of the worst films i have sat through in months issues run thus 1 kane is quite astonishingly miscast as ed utterly in the part just through very bad br br 2 kane is the best actor in the film the rest of the cast are rather amateur and utterly it is painful to witness some lines being delivered br br 3 the occasional efforts of stylish film making seem to come from the big book of moody cinematography cliché you've seen it all before better executed aside from the efforts at style the rest of the film making is largely inept cameras shake framing is bad there are overlong pointless shots holding back the pace which leads me to br br 4 it seems to go on forever it is under 90 minutes in length but sitting through it is an ordeal you'd swear it ran two and a half hours br br 5 ed almost seems secondary mostly the film is concerned with the family affairs of a newly promoted deputy sheriff said deputy is played by an abysmal actor upon whose shoulders no film should rest br br is anything good about it well the gore fx are very good some convincing wounds are in display and the make up is generally excellent none of this however makes up for the massive of the film br br it doesn't even have any value it's just bad not bad not so bad it's good just genuinely bad a film to avoid and despise,negative +wow the storyline to this was just incredibly stupid i realize that this movie was supposed to be of a comedic genre but still even nonsense is supposed to make at least some vague sort of sense br br water has become incredibly rare substance br br well that's strange considering that or is one of the most there is in the universe and pretty easy to make together and and water br br instead of water the of or some such should have been used as a plot device as something the pirates would go after water as a plot device was just dumb dumb dumb br br the comedy seemed and contrived and forced the comedy in the tv series red dwarf was and contrived and forced but it was actually amusing here instead i felt like saying ha ha that was just so funny i forgot to laugh br br sigh all that money put into sets costumes actors what a waste br br rather than just and and complain at it's my to make it better 1 use a believable plot device 2 get rid of the comedy none of the actors were really any good at it the movie would work better as a serious action adventure br br the obvious intention of the writers was to do a comedy but they didn't quite pull it off it's not likely i'll ever watch this again it's too much a total hack job,negative +in a very near future world a corrupt government everyone constantly with computers and one man has managed to and outside the system fighting to his freedom an engaging and imaginative story and some very interesting editing and camera work there are some confusing and slow parts but all in all an excellent example of what a small crew with brains and talent can do on a budget,positive +i mean really really really high and this movie has a shot at entertainment i don't mean regular high i mean the high where reading the would have you in otherwise save the time out of your life and go do something more with it like hitting your head on a brick wall and insulting your own intelligence a complete waste of talent in some cases mac john c tom kenny and the master of shatner and exactly the kind of crap they deserve to make the of who insist on making movies not without it's laughs again chemical aid is crucial and certainly not without the politically over sensitive which i'm always in favor of but ultimately not worth the time out of your life,negative +this movie was really funny even though it wasn't meant to be the acting was stupid and so were the voices pretty much all it was was some guy walking around a corn for an hour and a half they threw in this stupid super natural thing that made it even dumber it wasn't even like a normal movie this weird creepy music was playing almost the whole way through the movie what is it with corn horror films children of the corn was really scary i thought and i thought this would be something like it but really it was just stupid the main character guy just walked around yelling for these two little girls and then at the end he like kills someone or something it's worth seeing if you're with your friends because it's really funny how bad it is but if you're looking for a horror movie then don't waste your time,negative +a comic tale of a down priest showcases the economy that luis was able to achieve in being able to tell a deeply fable with a minimum of fuss as an from his mexican era of film making it was an talent to possess with little money and extremely tight however surpasses many of previous mexican films in terms of the acting francisco is excellent narrative and theme br br the theme interestingly is something that was explored again in made three years later in spain it concerns the struggle for humanity and amongst a society that rejects any notion of virtue father however is portrayed more than sister whereas the latter seems to choose charity because she wishes to for her perceived sins whole existence and reason for being seems to be to help others whether they or we like it or not the film's last scenes in which he casts doubt on his behaviour and in a split second has to choose between the life he has been leading or the conventional life that is expected of a priest are so emotional because they concern his moral integrity and we are never quite sure whether it remains intact or not br br this is a remarkable film and i would urge anyone interested in classic cinema to seek it out it is one of most moving films and many of his frustrated desire mad love religious etc in my view is second only to 'the in terms of his mexican movies and is certainly near the top of the list of total,positive +this being my first john carpenter film i must say i was very impressed by the thing right from the beginning the film draws you in and never lets up on the tension the film's special effects and models hold up well even today other than kurt russell i wasn't familiar with any of the cast members but they were all exceptional in fear paranoia and the desperation to survive the universal dvd has a wealth of very interesting behind the scenes extras strongly recommended 9 10,positive +when i first saw this on tape about 10 years after it had been released i thought it was one of the better james bond movies however after seeing it again around the turn of the century i was disappointed br br i think it's a bit overrated only because critics were so happy to see sean connery end his 12 year from playing bond that they didn't dare criticize the film i guess what disappointed me was the ending after two hours into the film you expect a less hokey more satisfying ending and it may be but i was disappointed in not seeing the regular actors in the supporting roles such as miss q felix etc br br on the positive side there was plenty of unique action scenes particularly early on and the two villains were interesting i thought maria was the more intriguing of the two because he was so low key and looked the nice guy next door he wasn't your normal bond villain br br this had plenty of skin for a pg movie especially with kim basinger starring never being an actress known for hiding her figure the language was very tame but most bond movies are pretty good in that department br br all in all it's a fair bond and nothing else just because connery is in it it doesn't mean it's automatically good roger moore and pierce brosnan have proved they could play the role well too,positive +if western union isn't exactly the real story of the construction of the it certainly does capture the spirit and dedication of the people involved with the project br br dean jagger is the man in charge and one fine day he's thrown from a horse and some an outlaw on the run randolph scott finds jagger and is ready to steal his horse but changes his mind and brings jagger to help later on he's hired by western union and works for jagger br br jagger also hires a young played by robert young who's an engineer young is doing one of his few out films away from mgm for 20th century fox both young and scott become friends but rivals for sister virginia br br western union has plenty of action enough to satisfy any western fans the crew has to deal with indians and your garden variety labor troubles br br slim as the cook and victor as the frontier character assigned to guard him have some of the funniest scenes they both provide some good comic relief br br fritz lang got good performances from his cast and kept the film moving along western union is solid western entertainment,positive +i am not one to like those anime cartoons pokemon z but bell is different in my opinion bell is more exciting has better characters and doesn't focus so much on a sort of weapon or as much as the episodes i've seen such as it the episodes big brother vs bell really focuses on the life of the strange the smart the clueless and the weird bell is probably my cartoon for now but i encourage others to watch 1 episode of it you'll most likely will like it br br h aka,positive +best around the middle when most characters get horny and go after someone they haven't had before it is around this point that we get to see susan breasts even if through a strangely enough beverly who isn't shy about nudity doesn't show any at all while – of all people – does on the other end of the spectrum the less said about walken playing a homosexual the better the film itself has little plot the dialogs from the theater play and the normal dialogs cross over often and that's not the sort of thing i'd consider a good idea life in the theater who cares occasionally the dialog has something going for it but the film drags in stretches,negative +although many audio of great musicians like survive the cinematic or record is limited indeed this is why musical offerings like they shall have music are such rare gems while with modern eyes and ears one can about the plot the viewer should put this film's unique in their proper perspective the plot was designed to appeal to both young and old audiences of the era but it remains enjoyable to this day a important aspect of the experience of watching classic films is to see them through the eyes of the of that era br br i must take issue with reviewer who complains about a film that is in black and white or who feel to report that their students express such these are juvenile complaints which reflect a limited historical perspective for the teacher this should offer up an educational opportunity to explain the unique qualities of black and white photography and its place in cinematic history color can in fact get in the way of a good storyline or the music for example the black and white photography of john ford's is like the still photographs of adams an artistic masterpiece br br as for being wooden i could not disagree more if you want blatant emotional go to a rock concert the role of a classical musician like is to move the audience not him or herself emotion is conveyed through his playing not through his body language he had a rare ability to every emotional nuance out of the music and transfer it to his it is the who should be moved not the artist br br incidentally one reviewer asked about seeing on youtube playing the 1st movement of the with frank in the audience this is from the film hall not they shall have music hall is an even greater treasure of many great classical artists in their prime we are blessed that there were film producers who at least in these limited instances chose to showcase these artists in was still an era not totally overwhelmed by the lowest common tripe we get today,positive +hilarious clean light hearted and quote worthy what else can you ask for in a film this is my all time number one favorite movie ever since i was a little girl i've of a blue van with flames and an observation bubble br br the cliché characters in ridiculous situations are what make this film such great fun the wonderful comedic chemistry between stephen harold and andy make up most of my favorite parts of the movie and who didn't love the hopeless of don't forget the airport antics of dressed up as dancing and playing the the clues are genius the locations are classic and the plot is timeless br br a word to the wise if you didn't watch this film when you were little it probably won't win a place in your heart today but nevertheless give it a chance you may find that it doesn't matter what you say it doesn't matter what you do you've gotta play,positive +a very different jerry lewis film not like all those more famous films that everybody knows lewis deals with the difficult task of ii and national in germany in a rather unconventional way but even more interesting and important he does it in a very un american way and as with so many things in the world and especially in the film industry un american means more sophisticated more subtle more intelligent or simply better that is the reason why the film was no success in the us but a very great success in europe br br all in all jerry lewis has by this movie that he is able to do much more than simple slapstick comedy,positive +the very first time i saw this i in horror at what was being presented as modern women br br sorry but i cannot relate to whining idiots whose lives around sex and the of and louis the thing is that some may actually think this is how career women live in nyc it's definitely not these women are incredibly shallow and and as another reviewer said they act like gold digging br br this is not and i'm glad it's gone 0 stars and just plain awful,negative +i'm a christian and i have watched pretty of christian movies but this one is too bad they try to make this good but it's too hard for them i think br br you can see the film is badly dubbed in many places you can almost think that the in this film was the only ones left behind i think there will be a lot more of them br br the quality is poor and the acting could have been better too the story is not so very bad but could've been better the only plus i give is to the story in this film but totally i can't rate it more than 3 10 watch left behind instead,negative +married to the mob was one of the first vhs tapes that i had along with coming to america and grease i still have fond memories of this film after all these years hell i still have the vhs of this film in good condition br br the story undercover cop mike downey matthew is sent to spy on angela de michelle pfeiffer the wife of the mafia member frank de alec baldwin he later falls in love with her after he realizes that she is innocent in all this angela not only has to deal with the advances of mob boss tony the tiger russo dean she also has to deal with his jealous wife connie russo br br married to the mob is funny and still keeps your interest when its not trying to be funny i like the little it takes at mafia life the jealous mafia wife the mob boss that doesn't realize that he is not a chick etc and you like the characters of angela de and mike downey it was the last of the funny phase of before he got serious and gave you gems like philadelphia and silence of the best thriller of all time if you're in the mood for comedy married to the mob is a keeper its better than the rubbish that passes for comedy nowadays epic movie date movie meet the disaster movie etc,positive +this is an excellent movie there were several parts to the movie i liked this movie is very funny visit the ernest fun club web site at www com there are several movies such as the following ernest goes to camp ernest saves christmas ernest goes to jail ernest in the army ernest goes to school ernest rides again slam ernest etc i highly recommend these for family movies all star jim again try visiting www com which is the best ernest movie in my opinion there are actually 2 ernest goes to camp and ernest goes to jail so if you have never seen ernest p its time to go and see him you will find him quite satisfactory no what i mean,positive +this is one cheap looking movie a stripper keeps getting attacked and raped by zombies and no one believes her she goes to the police who also rape her she finally finds a kid who was also attacked by the zombies and they trace the zombies back to 'the zombie the fact that stephanie stars as the stripper is the only reason to watch this film,negative +this is a great show with total and that usual chair couch for a woman host that mandatory band playing monotonous tunes the same old jokes the same pattern copied from the days of probably the pattern of johnny carson copied by one and all leno conan this show does not seem to have any of these br br i fell in love with this show within the first 10 minutes and i am going to stick to it though it's too early to say that this show seems to be devoid of any intellectual most talk shows try so hard to project and i hope that that is what would make this show different from all the rest i hope that this show will last long br br returning back after months i still love this show and i love his self humor for example his that only would be home to watch his show at saturday midnight and thus the jokes are funny only to the stoned guys which however does not involve the usual of conan o'brien for example i know it's a sin to be by antics but i do really dislike his style and br br i again watched it the other night with tom arnold in it spoof of and in an earlier episode are hilarious idiot are fun especially when a security guard them against taking people's pictures and if i am not mistaken they start taking his pictures shouting gary coleman br br added on april 2007 coming back once again i am left confused by the neighbor and her dog i cannot decide if it is a joke or a real thing either way it was funny as hell br br i do not expect spike to read these pages but maybe he does he is than a bunch of monkeys and so i would better write down my suggestion here for him i would like him to do a full 30 minute show with crazy the star of late night tv commercial i would like crazy to have an interview in talk show sing a song and play guitar do a skit in the line of snl and also to answer questions from the audience regarding his potential of los angeles i know crazy may not be aware of this but there are why he would be the perfect candidate for the post of the mayor of la br br god willing br br returning back on july 2007 someone wrote here that the people who praised must be by spike i confess that spike really me but i must also confess that named me in his will and last night i had sex with cindy,positive +if you like stupid jokes and a terribly predictable storyline then perhaps this movie is for you smith jack warden and several other members of the supporting cast actually have talent but it was completely by the paper thin script this is a generally boring and time of a movie,negative +i rented this movie hoping that it would provide some good entertainment and some cool poker knowledge or stories what i got was a documentary type look at an average guys life who happened to be really good at cards do i want to see the romance with his wife no do i want to see about everything that went on in this guy's life except poker no well thats what you get with this film the acting is good for such a low budget piece of crap the film never tries to break the mold or do anything original it simply sleep walks its way through the script the ending is disappointing and never really looks deep into mind instead it focuses on what was already obvious he was a drugged out card player with an average life not unlike any other average joe in vegas the movie focuses on the aspects of his life that were un extraordinary rather than the extraordinary the poker scenes in the entire film add up to about 4 minutes of footage achievements of winning the 3 times seem life after thoughts a 10 year old could do a better job directing this movie or maybe it was the script being a piece of crap from the beginning that doomed this joke of a movie br br if you want to see a film about gambling watch it at least has style,negative +i am so disappointed after waiting for 3 years for repeats the dvd of the original masterpiece series i couldn't wait for this series the first episode just ended and i am appalled everything that was great about has been here pretty much worst introduction laughter this takes the original point of it away and just it nearly unwatchable one joke about eyes the audience was good the rest i can hardly remember it feels like a poor quality knowing me knowing you i hope this as the series goes on otherwise i shall be seriously disappointed back to br br you are the most compassionate man i ever known and i know god,negative +feels like an film if there is such a thing br br the story is well told very poetic the characters well developed and well acted by the or interpreted by the actors br br the film in its own emotions at times and works well unless you hate such emotion in movies not so in my case br br it's a very film br br the landscape and even the extraordinary situation of the cook are very poetic in their own right br br well done br br a good classic for any good film collection,positive +i agree with greg in i saw this movie today with a friend who actually went to the theatre manager afterwards and told him that was possibly the worst movie i have ever seen i have seen a lot of movies with this person and he's pretty so i was actually shocked the manager gave him a free pass br br i was offended by much of the humor in the film yes the baked scene was on the top of the list my friend and i are white and saw the film with a primarily black audience for awhile i thought maybe i just don't get this movie because i'm white then i realized no one was laughing the writing was bad the direction was bad the timing was almost non existent br br there were a few funny moments there was just way too much time between them even airplane two was funnier than this and that's saying a lot br br i was so by in and as bear that i felt i was sure to enjoy this movie nope br br was funny as usual but his role was rather small tom arnold had a few funny moments as the white guy but most other attempts at humor fell far short of the mark br br sadly i was not able to award this film a rating with negative stars,negative +genre cartoon short with no dialogue african girl and lion br br main characters the lion and the bird br br what happens a lion wants to eat an african girl called there is also a rather confusing bird is he on or the side br br message br br my thoughts i agree with lee this is rather mean on poor african people i like how the main character who is an african girl is quite a nice main character but they still portray her and make a younger audience not like her very much just because she's hunting charles m jones i don't like the lion very much and i think the bird is all right i suppose personally i prefer charles m looney tunes cartoons in the future br br if you want to watch this anyway then i recommend the website youtube just type in on the space in the main page and you're there br br i wish charles m jones had been to in this short so there br br recommended to people who are interested in old cartoons and or people who are just messing around on you tube,negative +take away all parts of the movie that were present day and stick to the flashbacks then you would have had a great story faith and story and their relationship was the best part diaz and were wonderful was to sit through surprised to see as mom she was great also look for patrick as the father always like him sleeping with the enemy this is a very save the world kind of film don't care for it much but i recommend seeing it for performance alone she has excellent range and it should be used more is as always compelling he's wonderful,positive +spoilers included br br alfred hitchcock's brilliant and innovative adaptation of robert novel was an amazing film unlike anything previous every shot every camera angle every nuance was perfect he didn't just break the rules he made up a whole set of new ones br br here's the spoiler there is absolutely nothing new different or original about this movie gus van doesn't just pay a homage to he rips off every idea and does so in a less original more conventional manner i didn't have anything against gus van before i saw this movie i liked cowboy and i thought my own private was a very interesting film the question burning in my mind when it comes to the remake of psycho is why did you do it gus br br in my mind there are only two reasons to do a remake 1 the original was a good story but the movie sucked 2 the original was a good movie but someone has thought of a fresh new approach to the material neither one of these factors is at all present in the gus van version of psycho apart from the fact that it is in color and there is one scene in which there is a montage of disturbing imagery relating to the title character's possible inner dialogue which i found unnecessary there is nothing new here br br furthermore i found the casting left something to be desired anne was okay as marion but she lacked a certain vulnerability that janet leigh portrayed in the original i didn't feel as sympathetic towards her character because the choices she faced seemed far less as a woman in today's society as opposed to the choices she would have faced as a single woman living in the early 1960's vince vaughn got a few laughs with his rendering of an incredibly naive norman bates but i feel that anthony timing and nervous haunted look was much more effectively creepy the only performance that i enjoyed better than the original was the character of played by moore she was excellent as usual and brought a new strength and intelligence to the character br br to be fair there is some beautiful camera work especially during the famous bathroom scene in which van takes advantage of his use of color to show the murder in vibrant shades of and yet during the whole film i had this irritating sense of haven't i seen this somewhere before oh wait i have seen this somewhere before nearly every scene seems to be copied shot for shot from the original one almost gets the feeling the director made this film as a school project see i can make a hitchcock film too br br if you haven't already go see the original it's held up over the years and beats this bit of mediocrity hands down you won't be disappointed,negative +straight up i love this film i love everything about it it has a great soundtrack it has a lot of recognizable faces and it is funny as hell there are so many plots in this film and every one of them is funny in one way or another br br where as lit up the screen two years back drake is almost as memorable of a character all he wants to do is have fun he moves out of the house without his he work whenever he feels like it he is obsessed with sex he loves his drugs and booze and he tries to be a good friend it is his attitude that makes him such a joy to watch and he comes out with some great lines and there are so many tiny observations that you don't see coming but they make you laugh at the sheer when it hits you one particular moment is when tommy and bill are talking about ex girlfriend dating someone else now at the end of the conversation tommy takes his huge beer bottle and just throws it over his shoulder casually he then says good night and the scene ends it is a perfect scene world is his own he really lives to party and have fun when the conversation is over his time is over and he doesn't care who he in the process he has an innocence about him it's casual is his favourite saying br br another such classic scene is bill a he says something to him that me and my friends will never forget because we the film ten times and watched that part over and over again and hurt ourselves laughing it has to be seen to be appreciated br br wild life is a throw back to when teen comedies were funny raunchy had a good ear entertained us and just wanted us to get lost in their world for 90 minutes wild life does all those things perfectly if this is a film that you haven't seen give it a chance it is a classic br br also check out the army store guy that jim has problems with he is a very familiar face now and it is his first role on the big screen,positive +is the one of most powerful shocking and moving motion picture to come from brazil it's about the lives of street kids on the streets of and de and it centers around a ten year old boy the camera follows them around in an almost documentary style from the juvenile center where most of the staff is as corrupt as the police and back to the streets and it never turns away from the horrors of the city prostitution drug use dealing corruption and murder are all witnessed by these yet it's something they're painfully used to director hector used real street kids as the actors adding to the films brutal reality although not for everyone a film i highly recommend an emotionally devastating movie br br,positive +the reason why this movie isn't any better known and more appreciated to me seems because of its subject because of its controversial subject this movie never got a proper big release and still remains a fairly unknown one to this very day not that it's subject is that controversial now anymore though br br basically in essence it's a movie about a white man a black man the friendship does not seem forced or unrealistic but the way it gets portrayed in this movie makes it all feel very real we see these different in with each other as if it's just completely normal unfortunately of course back in those days it really wasn't regarded as anything normal seeing a black man talking to a white girl and just having fun with her as a friend must have been an hard thing to watch for instance for some proportions of its 1957 audience br br you can really understand why sidney has always been and still is being respected so much by the hollywood society and the black community in general of course it's one of the reasons why he also received an award at the in 2002 in his movies he often fights against and issues with of course in the heat of the night as the best example of this a real role model that certainly has inspired many american actors to this very day but on top of that he also was a great actor yes he is still alive but he has pretty much retired completely from movies now it seems since his last credited role is from 2001 br br this movie was martin directorial debut and he also wasn't given too much movie to spend on his movie the studios were probably also a bit reluctant mainly because of its concept and or because it was first movie or perhaps it was simply due to the fact that mgm just wasn't that big anymore and it had left its best days behind them ever since the on sort of had the reputation of making not too great and cheap movies while in the early years before that it was really one of the biggest studios with lots of stars and acclaimed directors attached to it who made many award winning classic movies luckily for them their reputation is starting to change again and whenever the mgm appears at a movie people are no longer expecting a lesser movie anymore br br anyway even with its restrained budget and limited resources they managed to make a great movie out of this one the movie is very simple with only a few characters and a simplistic plot in it the movie however still manages to capture you with its story and subjects without ever starting to become preachy or anything about it it makes the movie an effective one as well with its subjects br br really a movie that deserves to be seen br br 8 10,positive +when into this voyage he hardly knew who his father really was by the end of the film he found him and comes to terms with the strange life he lived as a child br br louis was the father he was an architect his designs were perhaps too complex as he tried to create buildings that didn't with popular at that time it is ironic that he never achieved the fame that came so easy to some of his he had a vision and he never from it we can see characteristics of his unique style in the buildings he left behind as a legacy to humanity every one of his creations are unique in that they don't imitate works from other br br louis life was rather complicated he was married yet he had affairs with two of his that produced a girl and a boy besides the legitimate daughter he had with his wife br br as a boy life was lived in a secluded area away from his father who only visited late at night louis never recognized these children although it is very clear they all knew about the others existence br br it is tragic that louis died alone in grand central station when he was returning from a trip without making peace with the women and children he never acknowledged as his own by his side he probably cared a great deal about all his children but he remains an figure throughout the film we never get to know the man although at the end in his quest to discover his father's life finds most of the missing pieces of the puzzle br br this is a personal account on the life of an artist thanks to that son who has the courage to tell the story we are almost into the lives of louis and his extended family,positive +i cannot remember a more trivial mind numbing and shallow film in other words a real chick flick of the worst kind how can anyone watch this film and recommend it to others only if they don't like they made a mistake it seems to the worst of female aspirations no real substance to it all happy and shallow yeah that'll please the masses well not this member of the masses what a trivial load of drivel i wanted to leave the cinema within 5 minutes of the start and to think i paid to see this i think this does however represent the down of cinema as with most media these days so i like a bit of reality in my musicals call me sad or what,negative +this was included on the shorts volume 2 a rather dull collection of short films shorts are among my favorite style of films but somehow the people this second collection had a hard time finding quality content and it wasn't nearly as good as the first volume or other shorts br br this short film feels like it's woefully there is a story but so much in unanswered that the viewer like me feels a bit left out and br br the film begins with a woman her boyfriend and her that's a dog by the way going to a lonely beach the lady speaks with an accent that at times is a bit difficult to follow given that i am hard of hearing i sure would have loved if it had been closed anyway the boyfriend goes for a swim while she when she her dog is gone she and makes the guy follow her all about looking for the dog they spend most of the time arguing and being then out of the blue they stop to have sex later they find the dog end of story br br as far as the characters go both seemed rather dysfunctional and unlikable she was a and demanding lady and he seemed to have contempt for her when you wondered why they were together their little sex break showed what bond kept them together br br some might like the characterizations i kept finding the people irritating and unreal more like caricatures than people you might meet or know also the payoff for all this just isn't worth the wait unless you want to see the guy naked,negative +i cannot believe i actually set up a on my for this apparently they had a good preview or something i can't imagine it though after seeing about 5 minutes i thought to myself why am i watching this it is definitely not reality and some of the worst acting i have ever seen on television i am a total addict of reality tv and there is nothing real about this the acting if you can call it that is awful the only ones that are almost 5 decent are the girls that are meant to draw viewers to the show although they would need to be a lot to save this train wreck if they would have more lines they would probably change my mind as they probably have no talent either this is obviously a very low budget production with who are apparently very cheap there is no way they could get a job in anything else someone needs to direct these people to a job in food service maybe they could do that oh and by the way p i no longer any space on my or season pass list definitely the worst show i've ever seen,negative +ostensibly a story about the young child of jimmy stewart and doris day the kid gets kidnapped to keep his parents quiet they know something about a plot to the of an country during a performance at albert hall in london br br the movie is rich in incidents a friendly but frenchman seems to the innocent stewart a doctor from indiana a little too intensely to be merely curious later the frenchman shows up in arab disguise a knife in his back and some information about the murder plot to stewart stewart tells his wife doris day looking very indeed but refuses to with the police and risk his son's life br br instead the couple try to track down the buy them off and get their son back taking them from where hitchcock has given us his usual eye view of the customs locations and food to london there is a hilarious wild chase involving a set to between stewart and the staff of a shop the staff are more concerned about their half stuffed than anything else and they around holding the of a and a in the course of the stewart manages to save his throat from being cut by the bill but is bitten on the hand by a stuffed tiger the action along by bernard score the scene ends with stewart out the door hitchcock ends it with a shot of a head at the door there is also a running gag well done about some waiting around the hotel room in london waiting for things to be explained br br there are two serious issues that are lightly touched on one is the relationship between stewart and day which is not as as it ought to be considered as a ideal she's been a stage musical star for some years and is known and she's given it all up to marry an ordinary guy who happens to be a doc that's understandable in say a nurse or a flight attendant or almost any woman other than an international star with a promising career in her own right it isn't into but the is noticeable as it was not in the original version it reminds me a little of an exchange between joe and his then wife marilyn monroe who had just returned from entertaining the troops in korea oh joe she did you ever see ten thousand people stand up and cheer thousand joe former hero of the new york br br the second problem is one of who is of greater social value one's own young son or an unknown do we put ourselves or our loved ones at risk for the sake of national day is faced with this dilemma in its form at the climax in the albert hall her solution for to political although her motives are does she scream to save the life or does she do so just to release the anxiety that is overwhelming her alec falling on the at the end of the bridge on the river the photography is extremely good and the settings can be menacing even on a quiet street in a neighborhood of london it's mid day and stewart is alone and determined but frightened too there are footsteps on street from someone somewhere is he being followed is his life in danger and where the hell is everybody who lives on this street hitchcock pays such close attention to location details that we can make out the garden wall bonding of the beside him br br the director had a rare with while being interviewed for otherwise book that the earlier version of the man who knew too much lacked the depth of the later version hitchcock it seems to me you want me to make films for the art house audience but finally agreed that the 1930s version was the work of a talented amateur and this version was the work of a professional no argument there br br this is hitchcock pretty much near his,positive +a lot of comedy in britain in the 1980s was misguided overly political and unfunny and the worst of the comic strip presents stuff fell into this category br br but this is at the other end a remarkable film that works on different intellectual levels br br is dennis a criminal mastermind or is he lying br br is he telling the truth double counter br br i've probably watched 20 or 30 times and i still can't decide 100 that's the wonderful thing br br as well as there are big roles for other early comic strip french pete richardson keith allen and though curiously enough not br br all of the comic strip cast however much i disliked the hidden agenda of some of their members are convincing actors and turn in superb performances in this big screen outing while the richardson writing work is so often pure genius with nice little touches of detail throughout br br ultimately this is a study of crime and human nature in all it's wondrous complexity and very funny with it you will not be disappointed,positive +this movie is widely as being a copy of the will smith feature that movie was dull br br this movie isn't so much dull as unbearable govinda looks way past his prime he is not at his best doing roles like this it is similarly unconvincing as his performance in br br salman khan is at his eye best and that's in the few scenes where he remembers to put clothes on it could only have been through that this eye scenes could be saved from the trash bin of any movie's cutting floor br br another case of bollywood embarrassing itself with it's shameless another case of the bollywood audience majority embarrassing themselves by making this a hit,negative +this a fantastic movie of three prisoners who become famous one of the actors is george clooney and i'm not a fan but this roll is not bad another good thing about the movie is the soundtrack the man of constant sorrow i this movie to everybody bart,positive +the efforts of a new group of young talent by alan and emma thompson 2 extremely gifted actors makes for a thrilling and engrossing evening of entertainment and i might add that hal shines as the senator this movie deserves five stars i give it a ten on your scale and the ending is perfect i am constantly amazed at the ability of british actors to master our american accents i was convinced that all the actors were born in and what locale for a mystery than new orleans the big easy also known as the city every scene as writer and director sebastian deserves high praise,positive +all i can do is laugh wow i like jim movies i really do i mean mall is a classic but this what happened to this guy he used to make funny horror movies that tried to be good but this was hardly even funny i mean i guess it was because i laughed the villain is incredible i mean horrible cgi it looks terrible and the movie has no gore and no nudity as redeeming qualities it is rated pg 13 a movie named bone eater you know won't be a blockbuster movie you know it probably won't have a smart script a movie like this may rely on gore but no it doesn't rely on anything really it's just crap check it out if you want to laugh though but don't expect a good movie i hope jim goes back to movies like mall and iv because this and vs ain't cutting it,negative +edge of madness is a tale about a woman in the who gets hand picked by dirty who can't keep his penis in his pants he just so happens to have a younger brother who is against rape and kills him but continuously says it was an accident this makes his wife go crazy she gets and she takes the fall because she loves george too much br br like i said this type of thing has been done before this is just more artistic because it's canadian and it's an indie production done on a low budget with hardly known actors except that one kid from he's in it i whether this was going for oscar bait but it was sure as hell boring and this is based on a 40 page short story half of that short story is into this flick and i'm glad otherwise i'd bore to death unfortunately i had to watch it in my media class and i had an assignment on it read the short story and compare and contrast the flick to the story boring br br you know it's harder to answer movie questions when you don't like the movie ah well i hope this is the last type of assignment me and my class get for what it's worth annie was totally hot she had a nice soft ass and i liked the nude parts of her in the movie br br 3 10 for boring oscar bait performance and graphic sexuality plus nudity,negative +who can ask for more taking my 2 and 4 year old children was a risk i admit but well worth it they were enthralled from credit to credit with their parents beside them br br i have taken the kids to films before with mixed results too scary too boring too sophisticated whatever with this film however i was glad to see a smart film with wit style and a sense of passion from the screen any film that takes 5 years of production to make good or bad deserves some respect for the bravery and the patience it takes to film a film like this br br o k i'm a little then again why wouldn't i get excited looking through the movie listing today only reminded me of the poor quality of films that are distributed at least for the moment regardless w g is a film well made perhaps the originality wasn't the most inspired nevertheless well told and well paced br br too much adult humour too many sex references maybe though my kids didn't quite catch them too young so in my case i didn't really notice br br well needless to say i liked it,positive +i really liked this movie one thing i have noticed is that korean tv are way better as far as giving you the whole story i watch movies when i do not have the time or feel like going through 16 30 episodes movies are seem to be rushed and if you do not watch carefully you may miss something br br i do feel this one was rushed and i had to a few parts to try and find what i missed especially towards at the end if you like nice love stories i still think this is cute and if have the extra time i still think this is worth watching br br it is always nice to go back follow the actors in different movies as we do not get to follow them from when they begin as we do the actors producers and directors in our own countries,positive +i lived in london most of my adult life before i moved so missed this film when it came out and only saw this now on hbo i disagree with anyone who thinks this should have been a hollywood production the uk team gave it a chilling and foreboding atmosphere from day one and i was on the edge of my seat for the last 30 minutes wondering what was going to happen to my home city and of course nine months after the film comes out 7 7 happens yes the truth is stranger than fiction having lived in both countries it is also clear the of this happening in the uk is much greater than in the us muslims live in and themselves in the uk in the us they much more readily,positive +this isn't far away from the trash that bollywood normally makes but there's just something really good about it br br the title song is one of best and is haunting throughout this is one of the films along with a must see bollywood film that made shah rukh khan and it's for this you have to check it out br br other reviews give away the story it is a fairly basic idea definitely stands out and one of his final expressions right at the end made me give this film an extra star br br its fairly cheesy but definitely worth watching if you are new to bollywood or not 8 10,positive +never having seen an oliver stone film before nor any films starring eric i didn't know what to expect from this film having with the idea of buying it for a while i finally got it for free as a with a sunday newspaper and i was hugely impressed br br it tells the story of barry a talk radio host who can be incredibly rude towards his often putting them in their place before they realise what's going on though this is what has made him a popular radio show host it has also earned him numerous enemies br br the acting in this film was hugely impressive with not one dud actor in it eric is brilliant as barry the troubled talk radio host with alec baldwin turning in a strong performance as boss dan it also features the voice of and cameo appearance by michael my reason for wanting to see this br br the story was really well written as despite his arrogance you feel for barry as more about his troubled life is revealed and you see how vulnerable he really is br br i'd recommend this film to anyone as it is captivating and more importantly real on numerous levels two of which being that is was inspired by the life of an actual talk radio host and the fact that you do actually get radio show and like the ones featured in the film in reality br br high recommendation and 10 10 br br yours cat,positive +valentine a model in france is separated from her lover who is abroad they plan to meet up in england but seem to be growing ever more distant as the film progresses one night after a pass made by her she hits a dog named rita the dog survives and she returns it to her owner a hostile retired judge who's is living as a and listening in on the conversations of all his she becomes intrigued by the nature of this man and visits him often often becoming part of his games one conversation the two listen in on is of extreme importance though the conversation between a young soon to be judge and his wife which we find out parallels the life of the man who is upon them as we find out more about the couple the man reveals more of his story then continues his story and we find out if the two men will continue towards the same fate little does valentine know how her life this encounter and the fate of the young judge will become together her hitting the dog that day seemed to be fate a divine sacrifice by the dog for her owner allowing valentine to be the of the young judge who is traveling the same path as her dear friend to prevent him from having such a grim future filled with loneliness and it seems the old man's dream will come true after all and he can sleep with a smile on his face for the rest of his days br br an amazing finale to possibly the best trilogy of all time never to me he is one of my favourite directors and one of the most talented directors in the history of cinema his use of the colours of the french flag in the three films was nothing short of incredible every shot every scene was like a work of art three of the most visually appealing movies i've ever seen and his subtle connections between the three films are awesome usually with a subtle pause or late focus in a scene see if you can spot some i have to mention this and it is a huge spoiler i loved the ending how all the characters of the three films were the remaining survivors of the ferry disaster with valentine and the young judge together and the old man watching it on her tv his happiness over the suffering which he dealt with for those many years i couldn't think of a better way to end the film but a smile on my face great way to wrap up an amazing film and trilogy i recommend this for everyone who loves film movies anything a work of art 10 out of 10 for both the movie and trilogy,positive +again explores the psyche of a man in little we meet an brilliant man who survived the war in seeing and strange sights moved to the u s and his dream of being a war food death survival planes heads coming off how one american is born again sees madness as plane of existence and the surreal with the poignant as himself this psychic of a german becoming an american who flies prop planes in a late 20th century war where the of technology and eating out of garbage with is with constant optimism into a man into american as always with we are faced with madness brilliance and what is man in the face of his own societal and personal we laugh and cringe and are amazed at this man where else for this man but america,positive +i wish they would just make a special section in the video rental stores for movies like this the section would read movies for lonely older men who like to watch young girls being naughty and wearing fetish clothes i guess after now this is establishing herself as the queen of the dirty old man genre,negative +all movies that contain goofy sound effects should be shot if there is one thing i hate it's gotta be the use of a when somebody gets hit one the head the only movies i have seen to do this is iv and hobgoblins when they are in the bar and is hitting the guy in the red suit with a beer bottle or rather fanning him with a beer bottle because she never really hits him with it yes iv does suck but i have to wonder did they mean to not make the so called mouths move when they supposedly talked their faces are almost as static as the masks used in 2 hell i can make a better mask out of construction paper some rubber and a handful of this sucked,negative +fair and nifty little science fiction horror fantasy thriller about a well known video game designer jennifer jason leigh whose latest game not only draws the attention of people who to try the game but one who nearly kills her and her game too since she forced to stay out of sight is stuck with ted jude law a marketing p r nerd to be her bodyguard even though he only has a gun that's made out of flesh and bone and the bullets are teeth director david has well used some bits from his earlier films the fly etc and placed it into certain parts of the story with some good timing law and leigh are fine here and so are some of the supporting cast ian willem dafoe sarah christopher and so on that has an international twist to it dafoe is anything but as gas a garage mechanic one of the movie's best scenes is witnessing ted eat fish and and a gun and admit to i can't help myself manages to show that he is up to his old tricks and it still works like a charm,positive +dead gentlemen productions has put together a film with amazing production values considering their budget anyone that has ever played any role playing game particularly any fantasy they play and dragons in the movie will love this movie brilliant performances all around especially with regards to the nature of the principles playing their players and their characters anyone who has ever filmed or acted in a student film will appreciate the amount of work and love they put into this project this movie and its prequel is to fantasy movies and role playing games what blazing is to westerns parody of the highest order i only have a couple minor complaints about the movie itself none of which will prevent me from buying the dvd as soon as it's available only 6 more weeks i'm counting the days br br 1 when is talking to joanna about joining the group he hands her a copy of the and dragons players and says this will tell you everything you need to know the camera too long on a shot of the book and the moment really seemed like a commercial br br 2 the jokes are hilarious but they seem spread throughout the movie the last third of the movie after the almost continuous of visual and verbal humor it slows down a bit as if the narrative was catching up with the jokes odd but blazing always struck me that way as well and i love that movie too br br one of the narrative strengths of the story is the nature of the romantic subplot will joanna become the girlfriend will she go back to or will the three maintain a friendship by the of role playing yes that sounds sappy but there are a couple of moments particularly when and make up at the end but the movie one week in terms of human relationships those questions could not be answered in a week the fact that the characters' relationships are left strikes me as better than the more classical choices you see in most movies like the girl gets her prince and they move into the castle or the prince sinks into the north atlantic after three trite tedious and predictable hours the writers really seem to have a grasp of the psychology of the characters and you can see the characters both the and the characters change over the course of the movie but not suddenly and not unbelievably br br i would love to hear more wisdom from brother silence the man who stands out in darkness is,positive +i saw this film purely by chance it was shown very late or more correctly very early one morning on television i had up and was having trouble getting to sleep and this film came on br br it deals with a subject covered many times elsewhere it certainly isn't as good as rita despite a couple of additional twists and has a very predictable ending br br despite its very obvious shortcomings i did enjoy the film and this was thanks to the acting of some of its players rather than the story or the piece as a whole br br i am a big fan of sam neil and have seen him in many different films including dead calm the piano children of the revolution event horizon man and the jurassic park he was very good but he could have played this part with his eyes shut br br some of the acting was in my opinion dreadful rose for example and some of the were rather heavy handed all the board woman in empty lives all dressed totally in white for example br br however two actors who i hadn't or don't remember seen before impressed me a lot as frances frank kennedy and especially matthew as her son david he in particular was very convincing and i would like to see a lot more of him,positive +i'd never walked out of a movie before this one i'd entertained the idea a couple of times but this time i did it in to see the end of another movie but had to come back and see the end of the rage while i waited for my friends they told me i didn't miss much while i was gone either i was generally offended by the entire movie in such a grand way that i can't even describe it my gut instinct told me to get myself out of the theatre it was a visceral reaction to a horrible movie the plot centered around the cruel actions of some teenagers against vulnerable and troubled others there was no ray of light no or likeable person to provide contrast i found that even the good guys of the movie did nothing for me were silly stupid or just plain br br the graphic suicide imagery was way overdone unnecessary and disgusting not in a i'm easily out way but more in the portrayal of disregard for humanity way and besides the of that scene in slow motion from so many angles the other visual aspects interesting camera work etc had potential but just became annoying sometimes i am a person who loves movies and tries to find good things about them usually i can find some good things to the not so good of any movie i'm not saying that this movie had nothing good but i am saying that whatever that may have been i can't remember it with all the other crap that drove me mad i'm really sorry about that too maybe the best parts were the clips from the classic original,negative +seriously any film with john is usually very good and this includes clint eastwood russo john dylan mcdermott the practice and many more great actors br br clint is getting old now but thanks he is also an awesome director in his own right br br we are used to water films like boot and perfect storm this was really different but just as directed br br the premise of the assassin is as serious as it comes the film is well paced some of the violence is a bit but altogether recommended but not for kids,positive +the plot of this film is not complicated a very attractive young girl goes to europe in search of the reasons for her older sister's suicide ten years earlier there she meets up with her sister's former boyfriend and together they travel to all the places her sister went and gradually the reasons become clear br br but what makes this film so special and above the limited plot are the beautiful portrayals of the characters although the older sister's boyfriend is a drop out hippie he has noble ideals moral standards and incredible strengths and although the older sister who we see in flashbacks shares these ideals she doesn't have a sense of or balance of how much is too much and although the younger girl is loyal to her sister's memory she gradually finds the strength to face the fact that her sister was only a normal girl after all br br the most special moment in the film is when the young girl and the sister's boyfriend finally stop fighting their attraction to each other i can't recall ever seeing more beautiful touching romantic in in a film br br in all these ways this is a truly beautiful film a film to be and to be seen again and again 9 out of 10,positive +once you can get over cage playing an italian soldier who loves opera and believes in making love not war you can get down to enjoying this beautiful looking film this could be used as an for in the john hurt is great and penelope isn't bad as you might expect christian character is somewhat one dimensional which is a shame br br the main of this film is the adaptation from the book having been told subsequently the differences between the book and film plots i feel cheated out of a much better and more convincing storyline,positive +i recently read the story to see how these two match up and if you can believe it this film upon the story is moved around i think to drive home the idea that colonel is a man who has suffered much and yet he comes home not a hero but as an br br as someone mentioned i was initially confused if was akin to the return of martin no it is firmly established by that is the real deal what's interesting though is not is he isn't he but how his wife and society treats him br br i think this is a timeless story of men who go off to fight for their country and when they come home time has left them behind is a tragic figure made all the more poignant by the amazing gerard depardieu i don't care that he's been in 1 million films he's captivating br br has a horrible character to play once a prostitute rose has used her feminine to climb the social ladder are her emotions true for i think they are and perhaps couple that with her social standing at the time and you start to feel some empathy for her br br is slowly his way into my heart he's exceptional here as br br i think if you can get your hands on this gem of a film you won't be sorry french cinema at its finest,positive +stupid horror film about five 20 somethings 3 guys 2 girls going to this place in the middle of nowhere what they don't know is dr and his female attack and kill anybody who in their woods they use their body parts for some experiments or something also five college girls and two lesbians are thrown in to be killed off and show some br br pretty desperate the story is confusing and boring the gore is laughably fake dr and his terribly there's some dreadful black humor in here and people just stand around while their friends are being attacked or just stand there and let the people kill them br br this was pretty insulting there are a few a twist an hour in was pretty good and the five young actors are actually good chase is great as reese butch is ok as jimmy ashley mccarthy is also good as and robert has his moments as nicholas best of all is crisp as jessica she was excellent some of the dramatic scenes between these five were well acted and interesting unfortunately the dialogue wasn't really there for them i'm giving it a 4 for their performances but nothing else here is worth mentioning hopefully these actors will get roles worthy of them,negative +it's become extremely difficult to find a good horror movie anymore thought this movie was a good thriller br br could have had better production values but what kept me going was the suspense and the twists i had real before seeing this movie because of the cover i was afraid that it would be bloody and gory i was wrong br br although there is a lot of scary parts there is a lot of suspense and drama too br br the acting in dead line was better than what you would expect from a budget horror flick the characters were believable br br the movie is really thrilling and quite scary at moments so it makes you grab your seat until the ending credits roll br br because of its production values the sound is not very good for example 8 10,positive +what some of the films and many others in western and adventure films of the early thirties was their lack of what we recognize as formulaic story telling to be sure they had good vs evil the basic element of any western boy meets girl and some stock characters such as the old and his beautiful daughter or grand daughter and sometimes the evil or other businessman but the way the action played out was often different from film to film br br 'the features earl in his big star turn not as for some inexplicable reason a half american posing as a mexican who speaks the language ' his biggest posing as a mexican seemed to be his outrageous clothes the only plot seems to be that he wants to steal ruby the of old dusty hayes when meeting her for the first time gives her a long once over look that puts him in the big with sexual you'd think that because the opening scene shows killing john wayne father off camera it would play a bigger part in the film it doesn't too much chasing back and forth between heroes and villains br br we get many good stunts though from including pulling ruby up on his horse when he rides by jumping on and knocking them off their horses a horse leap off a cliff into a lake and even the same slide down the sequence that was in the lucky 1934 although this time the mighty uses a body surfing instead of a tree and its inclusion is just as illogical this time too since they are in a desert br br the high point is clearly john wayne's and well photographed walk across the desert after the fleeing and stumbling with those fantastic of red rock canyon seen in countless serials westerns and science fiction movies framed behind him no final gun duel at fifty with the heroine running from the wooden steps of the bar to embrace and kiss the hero in this movie when john wayne finally catches up with him drinks water from a and dies br br after a couple too many chase sequences gang is finally captured in cabin one by one from behind a that apparently leads to a canyon now off by having been no riding off into the sunset or kissing the girl the final shot is ruby now mrs john on the to the now sheriff john what would sheriff like for dinner the film also has poor lighting and editing at the beginning the pacing is slow some parts with the sheriff cause it to drag and the horse chases fill up the film so despite the different and unusual elements it comes off as one of the weaker lone stars,negative +a tale of two sisters is a brilliant south korean psychological horror that left me speechless the film offers some delicious moments of ghastly horror and is extremely creepy the small cast of actors is truly excellent with lead im being especially memorable in the lead role the direction by kim is well handled and the cinematography is absolutely gorgeous the plot is slightly confusing but some scenes are wonderfully eerie the action is rather slow but i was not bored in the slightest i was extremely curious and intrigued the house where the film takes place looks incredibly menacing and isolated a tale of two sisters is along with and one of the most original asian horror films i have ever seen watch this masterpiece as soon as possible my rating 10 out of 10,positive +loved today's show it was a variety and not solely cooking which would have been great too very stimulating and captivating always keeping the viewer around the corner to see what was coming up next she is as down to earth and as as you get like one of us which made the show all the more enjoyable special guests who are friends as well made for a nice surprise too loved the theme and that the audience was invited to play along too i must admit i was shocked to see her come in under her time limits on a few things but she did it and by i'll be writing those down saving time in the kitchen means more time with family those who haven't tuned in yet find out what channel and the time i assure you that you won't be disappointed,positive +this movie has a great chase scene if you listen to the soundtrack when the cars are chasing each other it sounds very much like the soundtrack from the movie bullet you'll hear the shifting of a 4 speed and they'll show the in roy car it's an automatic i think one of the funniest moments in the movie is when the bad guy richard lynch is looking at the driver of the car they are in like the guy is nuts the crook who runs the garage is also the guy who in the the first rocky movie boss good movie also when the door gets ripped off you can see the guy sitting in the car just the door open the guy who helps him out of the car kind of looks like mr brady from the brady bunch doesn't he,positive +with thank god you're here the network may be trying to the of sitcom who's line is it anyway in which host drew carey would judge the performances of a handful of cast asked to scenes of some kind in the nbc show dave and co host dave alan a handful of notable comedians who must their way through various scenes which all begin with thank god you're here it takes itself far too seriously why must viewers be repeatedly reminded that the actors have never seen the sets before both co seem less then after watching the continuously sub par unfunny attempts by the actors to some laughs i am left wondering whether the live audience is genuinely laughing at what or whether they too are expect this time filler to be a very short lived one,negative +i own this movie i've seen it over 20 times and every time i still get its a great love story surprises and you can feel chemistry between and i give this movie a perfect 10 i recommend this to anyone,positive +well it is a good movie however you have to admit that van movies haven't been so great lately on the other hand if you are a hardcore van dame fan you should watch this as there is a huge improvement with fighting scenes also what i really liked is the music beautiful music am sure this will kill time if you are action fan as for the director of 2 i don't think he did a good job as he did with i cant wait when one day van movies hit the cinemas before the dvd maybe one day br br in the end it worth the watch if you got no other action movies to watch this could make your hour and half fun,positive +although i'm not crazy about musicals cover girl is a delight for classic movie buffs and especially for fans of rita hayworth and gene kelly the film may be dated by today's standards and the story and songs may be nothing special but the musical numbers are staged and there's a terrific cast to go with the film plus the film is a worthy introduction for fans of rita hayworth she's simply breathtaking in glorious technicolor br br despite collaboration with the film his music here is nowhere near as special or memorable as his songs in swing time 1936 yet the songs serve the film well the dancing is nothing short of excellent especially coming from gene kelly's solo number and my favorite musical number alter ego dance the amusing phil nearly steals the film as kelly's partner otto eve and edward give good performances in their dramatic supporting roles and rita plays a sweet charming girl here a role that's a far cry from her femme fatale babes in films like blood and sand 1941 br br all in all this is a delightful film that's worth watching even if you're not big on musicals yet the film's music could have been more memorable if only my favorite period irving berlin or cole porter wrote the songs for this film however it's the glorious technicolor cinematography and the imaginative dancing that are the real treats of the film's production br br while i was watching rita hayworth do her stuff i don't think i've ever seen a more beautiful or dance on the screen since i saw in michael masterpiece the red shoes 1948 just watch rita in cover girl and fall in love with her,positive +i went into this movie hoping for an imaginative twist on the second coming boy was i ever wrong bbc are at pacing a movie total idiots at creating suspense fools at building intensity and this movie is no exception to the rule of how much bbc sucks br br ugh the pacing and time wasting dialogue was just painful to sit through the first 30 minutes felt like 2 hours i kept looking down at my watch wondering when the pointless monotonous drivel would end they wasted a perfectly good actor in the lead role because the material is so lazy and written everything that happens is just to kill time br br out of minutes only 15 minutes are interesting the controversial ending what a shame reading the plot summary is more interesting than watching the movie the preaching the am i god endless blah blah blah ing the dumb as boring ugh br br do not watch this crap,negative +this is yet another western about a greedy cattle baron looking to push out small and it's certainly all been done before and since but the violent men is something special br br what makes it special is barbara stanwyck playing the role of as she often did in her later films she's married to the crippled edward g robinson who's the cattle baron here but robinson is crippled and there is some hint that his may have left him no matter to barbara whose needs are being met by her brother in law brian keith that doesn't sit well with either foster who is robinson and daughter nor with who is mexican girl friend br br the infidelity subplot almost takes over the film but glenn ford as the small who is a civil war veteran come west for his health manages to hold his own here he's every inch the quiet western hero who people make the mistake of pushing once too often i almost expect those famous words from wild bill elliott to come out of ford's mouth i'm a man would have been very in the men br br the fifties was the age of the adult western themes were entering into horse operas that hadn't been explored before the following year glenn ford would do another western one of his best which also explores infidelity as a plot br br there's enough traditional western stuff in the violent men and plenty for those who are addicted to soap operas as well,positive +it is a wonderful film about people strange people the characters in the movie all have a very tragic past so they all have their problems their problems in a way that makes the plot of the movie very absurd but that does not make the movie worse only better for it is shot in a kind of fantasy like way so nothing is real this review might sound a little weird but then again the movie is not quite normal it is also a hilarious movie at many times if you have not seen it see it enjoy,positive +dead man walking is one of the most powerful movies i have ever seen i find it hard to believe that anyone after having seen the movie could feel indifferent about the film or its message tim robbins does not try to his ideas and beliefs on the viewers but manages to make a film that are in most ways sympathetic to both views on the death penalty whether it is right to murder a murderer or not i have always known where i stand in this question even as a child and this movie despite the fact that it does not really take any sides made me even in my conviction that it can never be right to murder anyone br br sean penn is absolutely brilliant in his portrayal of matthew his nomination for an academy award was very well deserved even if nicolas cage does a great job in leaving las vegas i would have been happier if penn had won the award susan sarandon is also brilliant and she deserved the academy award she won and tim robbins certainly deserves the vote i have given this film 9 10,positive +this was the worst movie i have ever seen i have to admit i didn't watch it from beginning to end as cleaning the toilet was more entertaining br br the was the most unpleasant character i've ever seen neither funny nor attractive in fact creepy and obnoxious are far too br br it is painful to watch there is no acting especially not from the star who behaves as a up mentally take off on one of those loud mouthed black actors br br as horrible as it is to watch one of those can't shut up black actors watching a puerto one is even worse br br the name of the movie is he is the this movie is a must miss,negative +the best thing one can say about the film traffic is that it brought attention to the superior british mini series as many people have noted the current film suffers from the story to the short attention span of and the turn around time of the theater owners who measure a film's success by the food sales br br i first recorded this mini series in 1990 when it was shown on public tv and have watched it many times the whole documentary style series has a strong element of tragedy and doom about it as the characters are all moving toward their eventual fate the strongest of the three tales is that of the family forced into the city to find a way to keep body and soul together after the crop is burned by the army in a staged show of force put on for the benefit of western politicians the of the family are similar to that of the family in city of joy eventually the farmer finds work but he his pride and honesty br br the segment of the film has a particular relevance to today with the fight against the supporters of al and gives some understanding of the support for such movements among the poor of and afghanistan who rarely receive any of the money going into those countries the film makes a point that the see barely 25 of the aid which is supposed to encourage them to grow other br br with the american inability to see anything other than in terms of black and white good guys v bad guys it is interesting to see another view where there is no black and white only shades of grey br br possible spoiler ahead the only problem i had with the story was that rather than things continuing as they did before as they would in real life being a work of fiction they had to wrap it up with the bad guys getting what was coming to them other than that this was a fine piece of work of the kind we see all too rarely the cast was outstanding and the german and locations helped give the film a different feel what a change it made seeing germans as something other than the villains in a wwii film,positive +definitely a movie for people who ask only to be entertained and who do not over think their movies br br lots of action lots of great dialogue e g fun to quote a little intrigue and stuff blowing up all over the place samuel l jackson and davis had great chemistry violent but not gory the fact that the female part was the competent action lead is a pleasant turn about br br have seen the movie more than a dozen times and still enjoy it enough to put it back in my favorite films every 3 or 4 months i initially rented the movie because samuel l jackson was in the film but was caught up in the events surrounding quest to regain her memory and have never looked back br br all you cerebral folks out there suspend disbelief for once take yourself a little less seriously you might actually enjoy yourselves,positive +work sick watched this in bed and it was so awful i would have went back to work if i could have gotten out of bed the dog ran off with the remote so i was stuck br br i'm positive hammer was the daughter to become his br br horrendous to watch made me vomit more than what i was doing anyway so there you have it this would be the film that they play in the waiting room of hell before you go in or maybe your stuck in the film for all eternity with the hart kids just remember to take a gun with you,negative +this movie will likely be too sentimental for many viewers especially contemporary audiences nevertheless i enjoyed this film thanks mostly to the down to earth charm of william one of my favorite stars and the dazzling beauty of jennifer jones there are some truly heartwarming scenes between the pair and the talent of these two actors what in lesser hands could've been trite lines the cinematography of hong kong from the period of filming is another highlight of this movie all in all a better than average romantic drama 7 10,positive +i cannot believe how this atrocity managed to capture the hearts and minds of a cross section of the young of its era but i'm certain i wish it hadn't in my opinion it is an inaccurate poorly acted scripted directed piece of the brief to an imagined reality any humour to death the situations are which make the the already flimsy characters even more unbelievable and the romance is dull the end is unsatisfying and ruins the only sensible drugs message in the film and the simple plot and i ' and is tested to extremes with the uninteresting motion of the film in short this film as a blatant visual assault with no hint of skill or i it to the ash heap of history and pray it stays there,negative +you might think that a show about regular teens with would be interesting but it's far from that take the concept for example the main character s have a big secret that they hide from they're peers it's just like hannah montana and that's so next the acting is just average seems to be half asleep through many scenes lastly the jokes are either cliché or boring if they're not using they're colorful yet strange dialog to make us laugh they are throwing various props around the room i really wish this show would use more original and entertaining material in conclusion of place is a disappointment,negative +every american who thinks he or she understands world war two should see this movie few hollywood films about the war have the stereotype of japanese soldiers as orders without thinking we like to think that every japanese man was ready and able to fight to the death right up to the day we bombed fires on the plain shows a different reality troops and to the point of they refer to human flesh as monkey meat the movie and novel on which it was based also put to death the myth that japanese soldiers all preferred death to surrender they had good reason to believe that their enemies were in no mood to take prisoners to me it raises a question most americans would rather avoid if the japanese military was so beaten down at this point in the war why was it necessary to,positive +a film comes along that manages to be absolutely terrible from the opening titles on through to the studio at the end of the closing credits this was such a film the very type you can not stop watching for fear of missing a moment of its ever quality br br forget the low budget that's by a slow monotonous opening sequence that shows secret service agents running alongside a presidential with no crowds no traffic or location discernible forget the logic needed to even remotely make the actual plot seem plausible forget that roy delivers some of the dialogue whilst completely failing to hide his shame br br this is terribly paced by a score that's simply laughable and seems edited by a third all the while scenarios to cover up the hardest thing about filming a presidential storyline on the cheap making him seem presidential br br i honestly feel asleep briefly in the last reel and when i i ran it back so as not to miss a single excruciating frame try this drinking game take a shot every time you see it blatantly another much better film you'll off too br br not since 'the man' w samuel l jackson and eugene levy have i seen such a delightfully project i may give out copies as christmas gifts zero stars a thousand laughs,negative +the best scene of the people across the lake is the genuinely creepy opening scene featuring a house a murder a lake after that it's pretty much downhill from there on as far as the horror is concerned a family mom dad sister younger brother is fed up with the mildly dangerous environment of and decides to go and live near the titular lake from then on the film features too much lame happy family related doo doo near the lake with occasionally some corpses popping up here and there the couple of scenes where they discover the bodies are pretty convincing in terms of creepiness but they are in shrill contrast with the rest of the goings on featuring just every day life stuff of the family in the truth to the matters the mystery as to who's doing the killing is learned too soon leaving only the family and the viewer during the finale featuring a discovery in a basement and running around the house like if this made for tv thing suddenly remembered it was supposed to be a horror film it's not really badly made the content story is just not interesting enough the only highlight in the cast is barry corbin though his performance character is just a bit too goofy to be taken serious blond lauren the daughter might be a face for avid horror too as she also starred in 1997 and made for tv like i saw what you did 1988 the children 1987 she hasn't got much to do in this film though but watchable if anything,negative +this is a comedy version of strangers on a train it works pretty well i am a harsh so the 3 rating reflects mostly on the characters and plot the performances are extremely good all of them of course the two stars and crystal shine most each performer acts well enough to play off of the comedy works in a level just short of slapstick characters work best when his character portrayed as a writing hack would probably be more real if he was published and as much as most are his character would in real life have a great agent and multiple the characters are one dimensional which is okay in comedy but character is not written very well his desire to kill the all of a sudden makes no sense at all it looks like a pitiful attempt at humor the pitiful attempts are not too often and the movie flows fairly well,negative +watched the director's cut last night glad it was free rental even a dollar would have been too much for me to pay to watch this attempt at film noir the modern were annoying to me not clever seeming more like budget constraints than anything else the non traditional casting i also found distracting if i have to stop following the story to wonder what the heck is the black chick drag queen doing there then the has failed me again not clever in my opinion but annoying and irritating and very film school final project ish and for sake if you are going to shoot in black and white at least use some of the techniques used in old films that take full advantage of not having color there was no use of nuance in the lighting no shades of gray no depth no just black and just white boring,negative +this documentary was my first introduction to peak oil theory a fascinating concept that has a lot of frightening consequences if it turns out to be correct i had absolutely no idea that the effects of oil would come so soon it literally took my breath away this movie will probably open your eyes as to how strongly the american way of life is on the abundance of cheap oil a term used throughout the film a lot of the topics are plain common sense and they don't go into a huge amount of depth about any of them but you've probably never put all the pieces together like this movie does the interviews with the authors and energy experts are all very interesting i don't think this film is meant to scare people it's merely meant to inform people about what to expect in the years ahead and maybe to encourage you to think twice about to work and leaving your lights on all day long br br after watching this film i was no longer able to look at the cars and by quite the same great documentary everyone should see it,positive +seriously i'm amazed at all the good this show has here all we have in this show is two stupid kids who keep doing an annoying laugh and they do occasional funny things only in like 2 of the shows while most of the others sucked as then they comment on music videos which i cannot stand personally while they either love or like br br in most episodes the only things you will hear are the let's go score with some chicks or i'll kick your ass or the better yet and usually used quote that was cool and above all their annoying laugh br br if you want a good animated show try the simpsons and south park this show is just not worth the time or energy it takes to watch this awful mtv series,negative +what alice found was a pleasant discovery as written and directed by a dean bell this is combination of a road movie with a tale as well as a voyage of discovery br br if you haven't seen the film maybe you should stop reading here br br alice is a case study of a young woman that wants to break away from the unhappy life she leads in a new england town her for leaving is going to join her best friend who is away studying at a miami university alice is the product of a single mother's home one that is struggling to make ends meet in sharp contrast with the life of ease her friend seems to inhabit in flashbacks we get to see life before going on the road br br alice like her in alice in wonderland in a trip to the unknown that life hasn't prepared her for the of america are full of in search of the weak and innocent alice meets with disaster when her car breaks down the road and a friendly southern couple come to her assistance when a strange man approaches in the darkness with the excuse he wants to help her sandra and bill convince her to come along in their r v on her way down south br br nothing has prepared alice for what this couple turns out to be after all in her life she hasn't dealt with what sandra and bill her new do during the overnight stays at the rest stops in the american it comes as a shock to her the realization that the kind sandra is nothing but a prostitute that her trade among the truck driving one meets in those places br br alice brilliantly played by emily grace is a study in how the young woman to the new reality she can't escape in fact sandra makes it seem so easy that alice tries her luck at the oldest profession on earth in order to raise some badly needed money br br gives a tremendous performance as sandra ms is perfect as the seemingly normal woman one wouldn't suspect she is doing the nasty with she and bill find along the route they travel ms is amazing when she reveals the truth about her life to an alice as the husband bill raymond is good in his portrayal as the husband that in reality is a br br under the excellent direction of mr dean bell the film is not afraid to go to places mainstream films dare not to go to this director who has written a plausible story and has gathered the perfect cast to play it for our benefit,positive +i must admit i wasn't expecting much on this movie i was surprised i truly enjoyed it as much as i did the script wasn't oscar material but it wasn't horrible either the acting was great by mark jennifer aniston had a great supporting role and looked lovely as ever what made this movie for me was the music if you do not like 80's metal or hair bands then you probably wont like this movie its all about being a some were present but didn't bring down the movie at all i would recommend it to anyone who likes rock and roll and remember to stand up and shout 8 of 10 for great acting and awesome music br br jason,positive +first let me say i'm not someone who usually cringe at the fact of having to think while seeing movies i love movies for example is also a favorite but this the positive points can be summed up easily the photography is splendid and the music is perfect does it make a good movie i used to think so but this one is a perfect example of one that for me doesn't make it maybe it's because i'm too dumb possible but i don't think so for example also used very long shots but what he never did was filming 5 minutes of the exact same image of two people walking and i mean just their heads because in this movie there are a lot of those shots but sometimes it is effective the general result is boring even with the intelligent undertones which are done in a way that while intelligent is above all very br br you also always feel that the director is making some of the long shots not for the aesthetic or symbolic effect but just to spare on budget br br i'm very disappointed in this film because i really liked the first 30 minutes or so but it just went on and on without even keeping the same level as in the first scenes br br while reading the very comments on this page i also get the feeling some people just try to see much more in the movie than there is to it when a movie is slow and arty it doesn't necessarily mean it is very profound yes it is an allegory on musical theory placed in the context of a small town which is quite interesting on itself but it does not make a profound movie except for people who absolutely want to make some sort of intellectual masturbation out of it but then it's not what you find in the movie but what you find in yourself an exercise that in my opinion can be made much more effectively while watching stalker or than that owes much to but cab never equal it's level,negative +ok i could only find three reasons to consider this film worthwhile considering the extremely low budget br br first there was and rachel carter actually the two of them gave me four good reasons to watch and watch i did br br the only other reason to watch is that a lot of was filmed right down the road now i didn't know this beforehand but i saw an orange county car tag and said wow this was shot in florida br br i was impressed by the flashback to the past and the of the young kid but that was really it the killings by the man were pretty lame with the exception of the biker br br if you want to see and carter ok but return of the living dead will give greater thrills,negative +this is one of the worst films i have seen in a while br br the problem is that it doesn't know whether it wants to be an intelligent political film or an exercise is as a result it fails on all accounts br br the acting is atrocious the narration off putting and the supposed symbolism pointless br br kinski is probably the best thing about this film but that isn't a good thing sure he has an intense and look but ultimately he can't actually act just look at how he when his mistress leaves br br really don't watch this film some say it needs repeat viewings i say one is too many,negative +i guess the previous house movie was a hit universal to a few more drops from the monster cash cow the creative team must've been in a mood starting with the opening theme lifted from of and some of the stock footage through the film like one unintentionally funny bit of business where footage of glenn strange as the monster is mixed with clips of karloff from bride and compared to how robotic strange moved karloff seems to move like a in comparison br br previous film continuity is thrown by the concerning the death cheating abilities of the wolf man and dracula but when dr larry discover monster with the representing boris karloff edward t lowe does at least acknowledge some of the past movie history though curiously never mentions having met dr br br since this was to be the last of horror cycle the supernatural elements of the wolf man and get into medical is told he suffers from a blood disease a very rare sickness that allows him to into a bat or if touches him and larry just has a little pressure on the brain of course all of this is explained with a of medical being related in many scenes throughout this proves to be the biggest as somewhere along the way the filmmakers seem to forget about actual horror or entertainment in favor of giving the monsters conditions that seem as as a br br as a huge fan of the old universal horrors it's rare that i feel so bored while watching one the whole thing just feels like a movie that was made just because it could be but if this mess hadn't been slapped together the monsters might never have met and so i guess some good came of this,negative +i can't believe that anyone would green light this let alone star in it i will never be able to get that 90 mins of my life back br br this has to be one of the worst films i have ever seen some films are so bad they're good this has gone so far round again that's somehow it's so bad it's terrible i was not exactly expecting much it being a low budget jumping rehash of a b movie but it still came in way under my expectation levels even tv movies have higher production values br br there were very poor special effects shocking dialogue terrible acting and a completely unexplained plot who cursed her and why why did the 6 inch snakes turn into 15 foot snakes has anyone ever heard of highly snakes or 100 passengers 3 000 snakes so many promises none delivered br br some comments would have you believe that this film is worth watching for the last five minutes it's not even worth a rental stay in and watch a low budget tv movie you'll enjoy it a lot more br br why was this made oh yes to shamelessly cash in on the internet phenomenon that is soap shame on you brothers shame on you,negative +having been familiar with hartley's the go between for a good while both in its original book form and in its disappointing film adaptation this was interesting stuff the proves almost a mirror image at times set in a slightly less distant period for the main part featuring exposure of the british class system and containing a set piece sports match boxing takes the place of that reveals rather a lot about br br this in its small scale character focus you do not exactly get to lady franklin and in the sense but this distance is appropriately played out in telling body language and from the actors your distance from ever fully with any one true character mirrors the that so the central relationship miles and shaw are wonderfully subtle and we see more in their never once are these performances they are interpretations that create the impression of these characters having life the confines of the film all other parts are very handled though they are far smaller in this film than i presume in the novel and compared indeed to the go between a stunning work about br br the at the centre of this film is so sadly and conveyed in the late scenes where shaw kisses miles and is rejected and then where a drunken confronts and lady franklin it's a howling shame that what would have been an incredibly poignant ending of spoiled desolate lives at either side of the screen is with a decidedly odd little one is entirely by the jump in tone as goes and ironically sings rule and god save the queen as he crashes his car into things the political point is heavily over by this rather operatic ending all sense of subtlety so effectively conveyed is lost as the point is heavily and made prop surely has no place in this sort of delicate period drama br br overall however one cannot be too harsh while this absurd end piece is a major flaw the rest of the film must be praised as a sensitive film of sadness and detailed observation about the way british society was in the past hartley's but crystal clear touch is very much in evidence throughout it's just a shame that we don't end on the shattering conclusion to drunk scene the tragic figure of sarah lady franklin is abruptly denied her place at the of the film as the excellent human drama slips into the of political point shaw also that most dry and yet deeply feeling of actors is betrayed by the out of character excess that the film thus a fine small scale triumph is but we ought to remember the many good points br br rating 1 2,positive +imagine the most depressing winter you will never experience grey instead of white no snow fights and certainly no this is the as portrayed by this film follows a bunch of people whose lives are oddly linked to each with results beyond anyone's nightmares yes most characters are flawed in the way that only celluloid characters can completely annoying and frustrating to watch yet for some reason you wish for their luck to turn br br with some randomly placed humour and a cast that groups together somewhat mainstream faces frozen land offers a glimpse of the mentality that despite its depressing manages to some faith in humanity more so than to say the least,positive +i personally have a soft spot for horror films that are set in and so i had a good feeling about watching this don't look in the basement even though its reputation is well turned out i was right this is great trashy entertainment with a couple of efficient shocks and delightfully absurd characters you have to of course look beyond the poor productions values and the completely illogical plot but if you manage to do that and if you're a fan of this type of horror that's an essential quality you'll be rewarded with an outrageous video nasty in which blood and insanity form the main elements the young and cute nurse charlotte arrives at a remote where she's supposed to start her new job she finds out that the doctor who hired her was killed by a patient and the replacement doctor in charge masters seems reluctant to accept the new arrival the life inside the is rather peculiar with the patients running around free and every door is kept after a whole series of bizarre events charlotte discovers the horrific secrets that the institution hides the opening 10 minutes pre credits are great and so is the completely deranged climax everything in between is pretty much without surprise or tension but you wait because you just feel that the finale will be wild fun the patients are but i love them nevertheless some of my favorites include the former judge who still talks exclusively in legal terms the suspicious army and the mad raving old lady don't look in the basement is great low fun especially recommended to fans of 70's trash cinema sick and other types of the have taken over the asylum yeah,positive +this movie was recommended to me so we went to see it together i wouldn't call it a movie it's more like a combination of 10 different unfinished illogical stories which are not all that funny several characters in the movie who looked important in the beginning and they just disappeared from the story he's just trying too hard to fit everything in 2 1 2 hours i left the show without wondering what happened to this and that guy br br i think this movie is just an extended version of padded with a lot more characters and dancing br br if this is the best movie that this couple has ever made then i'm pretty sure i'm not interested in any of his previous ones,negative +this movie is bad br br this movie is really bad br br this movie is might as well be half a minute long and shown 200 times in a row because you'd get the same effect br br the phone rings man a answers the phone and gets annoyed by man b man a off man b and then hangs up the phone repeat br br this is the entire movie br br do not watch this movie trust me,negative +i saw this film back in the early 70's and i was by judy for me it captured the nature of rod obsession with the young and extremely sexy played by br br you couldn't help feel a little sorry for the wife played brilliantly by claire bloom i was really disappointed to see that the original cut may have been lost and there is little chance of it being released on dvd br br i defy anyone who saw the film and it's strong message not to be equally absorbed by the three main character performances and i would have loved to have seen it again if nothing else for a purely nostalgic reason br br going back in time some 35 years br br a real classic,positive +i saw this movie on it's opening night and enjoyed it i probably would have enjoyed it more if i hadn't been sitting by my father my father saw the original unfortunately i have not seen it yet and kept talking through the whole thing he kept saying that the movie sucked and that it was stupid the thing is he didn't understand that the creators were slightly making fun of the horror genre with the film in every horror movie there is always a certain character depicted if they weren't in the movie well you might not really like it too much the trademark characters are br br the lead character elisha the lead character's boyfriend jared the lead character's sibling soon to be jerk nick michael murray the annoying character paris hilton characters who are just around to look pretty dalton jon blake robert br br with those characters it makes it slightly predictable who will die and who will live obviously you know who will with what i just the movie may be predictable in fact i had a pretty good idea who would die just by watching the trailer but it was still enjoyable it may seem stupid why is there a sugar mill in the middle of a deserted camp site that wasn't there in the beginning at times but it is very easy to watch the comedy and gore were the perfect amount for weak movie goers it does get gory don't get me wrong less than final destination 2 but it works very well so in conclusion this movie wasn't as hot as the fire the set went up in but the could still burn the wax,positive +who wrote this flick an uninspired 15 year old br br could have been written by one of the kids who did the shooting br br totally nonsensical not funny all br br plus this the french do not put their flag everywhere you do not walk into a french bank and see the flag displayed like that even on day br br i have nothing against the blood bath thing it's just that none of this is either credible or funny or or anything like that br br ok those who liked this flick will tell you i must be some type of fascist so forget about my comment,negative +warning some spoilers ahead br br what an incredibly crappy movie it makes iron eagle 2 seem good br br the story is as follows captain holiday gets shot down by his friend robert patrick to stop him from shooting down a filled with innocent civilians six years later holiday returns to take his revenge among other things he sitting in a tank chases now a colonel and his pregnant wife over a field he manages to fire and drive the tank at the same time after getting the tank blown up by a he miraculously survives and steals a fighter jet with it he shoots down a number of allied fighters before attacking the in an attempt to kill wife br br an extra bonus is that major who holiday hangs in her office has put the rank on her right shoulder on backwards elegant,negative +the final wants to say something about racism and inner city violence unfortunately the message is by the nonsensical script the amateurish production and the heavy handed how heavy handed you ask to give you just one example a black doctor comes out of his hiding place with his hands up in the air ready to surrender to the police one of the all white cops says don't shoot him he's a doctor to which another cop replies so what he's still a n r and proceeds to shoot him in cold blood the cops are portrayed as ignorant racist killers even though at the end there are just as many dead people among them as there are among the black people who staged the riot and this whole event was meant somehow to the white folks to the treatment of the black folks when in fact something like this can only breed more hate and violence on both sides pamela jones as girlfriend briefly lights up the screen with her smile and body particularly in a tender sex scene and the rating of this movie from 1 to 2 out of 10,negative +this movie came aside as a shock in the eighties far from that is to say in the heart of sincere creativity stands as one of the finest movies of its time the wonderful actress of her ex husband claude greatest achievements le la les all for movie buffs gave a lifetime performance to see her prepare with love and affection her meal is a feast for the eyes all the people who saw this masterpiece actually ate triumph but the most moving part of the story is its conclusion was a great french chef she was famous now she found a new but her is behind her and she won't never be allowed to come back to her dear france so the two old sisters do comfort her in heaven there will be huge where she for eternity while sharing her fortune with her new friends changed their life she gave them pleasure and a magic evening they would remember forever in this simple but extraordinary screenplay human warmth is everywhere and i wish everybody a feast would it be only for one night,positive +i'm not usually into dark psychological thriller type things however me is really an amazing piece of work the story acting filming psychological themes erotic quality and spiritual understanding are all really quite complex and compelling rose plays the and shifts of a psychologically disturbed woman really quite accurately my partner was particularly impressed with the sophisticated way the power exchange issues were handled it was so intense for us to watch that we found ourselves leaving it three quarters through to get tea and i felt compelled to have a shower the story was gripping but we were clearly unable to handle all the energy in one straight shot it into the gritty and side of people but doesn't leave you there i thought about the characters and deeper meanings for a long time i would highly recommend this one still be prepared for an experience you might not be expecting,positive +there is nothing at all redeeming about this film it is very bad and not in such a way that it is even remotely funny horrible plot acting and writing and incredibly cheap production values to boot this film makes the look like a work of art,negative +i really thoroughly enjoyed this movie for one it didn't have the corny special effects that the big budget movies have the acting was decent in this one only you can tell right off the bat that it's dubbed but once you get over that fact and that you can't switch languages on the dvd version it's cool the plot line was very unique you take a situation like a heat wave very common around the world especially in which i've been to many times and you take a garbage strike which happens often enough in this country and you have a recipe for disaster i loved how the of rats just went everywhere and how the idea that if you picked up the garbage that's the last thing you wanna do you pick it up the rats don't get what the want they are in essence following the garbage pick up so you ask well if garbage men are on strike who picks up the garbage private anyway military wants to off the city wrong thing to do then you would have all the rats take over the city then throw in a mayor who wants to keep a on the budget and line her you have a realistic movie and the female lead is also a pleasure to watch on the screen a very decent movie i thought wish more were made like this another small is the depiction of could have been done a little better but for the average viewer who's never been to i was born in germany and been to many times it won't matter but all in all a great big thumbs up,positive +this is a pretty simplistic romance girl finds boy girl loves boy girl loses boy girl finds boy moore is the outstanding in this recipe delivering a wonderfully varied dramatic romantic performance well deserving of an oscar equally fine are the combat special effects br br moore plays a french girl whose mother has turned over their field to a british during wwi she is the daughter of the loved as a little sister into this mix comes a fill in for a gary cooper at first they hate each other then they love each other then the entire is sent out on a suicide mission cooper returns but crashes in the village and a red cross unit him moore for him is told at a hospital he is dead then wanders the streets until he calls from a hospital window and they are reunited br br it's a nice little romance but hardly more than that recommended for fans of ms moore and mr cooper,negative +lets be realistic here this is one of the worst shows i have ever seen my wife and kids showed real promise in its first season and only went down hill after that it is so bad that words do not describe the acting and writing are so dreadful on a consistent basis i wonder if damon wayans was producing such an atrocious show on purpose from top to bottom every performance is ridiculous damon wayans completely phones it in and george gore ii is so horrible i cringe at every over acted line can anyone really watch this show and find it to be entertaining let alone funny please i you do not watch this show as soon as tv stop picking this up in we can finally be rid of this absolute garbage,negative +the story line of a man's love for an innocent baby he finds with a face and on the opposite side of the world a shallow self centered valley girl who shares a birth date with her and ends up making a big difference in both of there lives what a great and worthy story line but in this telling the screen writing and or directing and or editing is so poor as to take most of the joy out of the story linda character goes from understanding mom to wicked witch and back faster than a bullet and for what purpose conflict conflict conflict at the drop of a hat katie the california girl and her boyfriend mom and everybody including the poor lady at the airport check in counter adopted father who is the most man alive and his wife and son all in constant conflict i really wanted to enjoy a heartwarming story but the only thing that made me smile was when all the hate and fighting were over there were too many unexplained or illogical events many of which don't add to the story my wife and i kept looking at each other and asking ourselves how such a good cast and what should be a great story could be up so badly,negative +i usually really enjoy steven seagal movies they are usually highly entertaining and being somewhat of an of i usually like the way steven these martial art techniques in the fight sequences br br however this film is a really bad movie making effort and it seems obvious to me that the blame lies with the director and the producers who obviously have no idea how to make an action movie let alone direct someone like steven seagal and to take advantage of his knowledge and br br i never saw the end of this movie i walked out before the end simply because i couldn't stand watching anymore of this bad movie i am sure that many people also share my feelings,negative +hi to read the entire plot around oz just look at imdb here to find it br br warning spoilers inside this review oz is the a series that has not only moved me but also shows a small bit of the american prison system but i have to say judging on discovery channels program over jail it is not really realistic br br although i got to say there not shy rapes stabbing happens still it is television so for you out there that think this is realistic wrong br br there is a good degree of violence in it and some here and there overdone scenes plot over plot over plot that can get pretty boring but remember the series is almost ancient by now so times do change as well i believe i should judge this in the time line as it came out br br as the season prolonged up to season 5 it was pretty good until one of the cons wins a ticket of 2 million dollars because he talked to god it struck me as ok this is getting to the point i do not want to see this series no more still i and now i just seen the episode 3 of season 6 this is were gets his brain and then his mom hold him after while he is then you see o cry as well seeing his like that brothers as well now thats by far the best scene out of the entire oz series that was real to me still do not read this wrong that i'm trying to crash and burn it it is a really good series and even now well worth a watch i give it a 7 because of the storyline that with the season but still a golden,positive +what can i say about and juliet other than if you like twisted troma then you must see this movie this is my absolute favorite troma flick and i have seen almost all of them penis monsters to live rats and popcorn steamy sex scenes in boxes incest shameless troma and computer masturbation how can one go wrong it amazingly follows the original story very closely you must see this movie oh and speaking of shameless check out jane comic book whore cd on records it is awesome,positive +i stopped this movie at 48 minutes and change i don't know maybe it's because i'm not swedish or french the cannes or any of those other sleepy places from which the previous reviewers held forth born and raised in ny lived near san francisco for a quarter of a century and now holland i love a good independent film as much as the next movie but this in a word isn't funny see now that's funny that you're thinking that i made a mistake i said a but then said nope no mistake if this is your type of humor i'd say you haven't really had much of a life consider your appreciation of this film a and please don't ever write another review i have a tendency to believe them when they're even if there only were about 3 reviews before mine i figured i might actually be able to save someone else the boredom the anticipation of laughter that never i did smile once or twice though when i started the movie and when i stopped it that should be 10 lines,negative +i felt that the movie directed by bergman was very dry it shows the things people will do to survive during a war and the shame that comes out of these actions however i feel that it was not complete or attention holding he never fully got into the plot or deep into the character emotions or reasons behind their actions the only thing that i found rather attention holding in the movie was the transformation of the two main characters jan and eva many times during the movie was just the two main characters sitting around or doing their daily and not even having a conversation i understand this was to show the reality of these people however i feel there are other ways to show reality and have it be entertaining i think that bergman could have filmed this movie in a more riveting way,negative +if you had asked me how the movie was throughout the film i would have told you it was great however i left the theatre feeling after thinking a little about it i believe the problem was the pace of the ending i feel that the majority of the movie moved kind of slow and then the ending developed very fast so i would say the ending left me disappointed br br i thought that the characters were well developed and both portrayed their roles very well yes can act also the different relationships between the characters seemed very real furthermore i thought that the different plot lines were well developed overall it was a good movie and i would recommend seeing it br br in conclusion good characters great plot poorly written edited ending still go see it,positive +i still can't that made this film back in 1934 animation is simply perfect and what is amazing about it with all the advanced technology we have nowadays there are few animation studios that are capable of producing a little gem like this one it has everything a great story beautiful although this is a morbid kind of beauty in some cases special effects well it is definitely not a kid's movie but it's a must see for anyone seriously interested in animation,positive +although i saw this movie in korea in korean and therefore did not understand the language images sure say more than enough from what i can make of it this is the story two superb sword fighters become friends in their service as the king's guard one of them finds himself opposed to the ways of the king and starts important men the other has to hunt him down this movie is visually great the is great and the movie has a gripping end i just hope this movie will be for the western cinema goers and be released on dvd of course,positive +there are many reasons i'm not a fan of fact based films but more than any other is how the filmmakers give themselves creative license over the story if they have such great then why not use that talent to make something original otherwise stick to the facts this could have been an okay movie if only they had done just that ed was an insanely frightening human being it's been said if you were to take michael myers jason and wrap them into one person ed would still be scarier so why can't someone make a movie about him that can convey this when will they figure out that reality is ultimately scarier than fiction br br i've read books and watched news programs about him and now i'm not a screenwriter or anything but i believe there's enough on that it shouldn't take a whole lot to write a story about all these atrocities he committed without creating murders that had never even been documented i'm aware that he was only found guilty of 2 murders but with all the evidence found in his home and there should have been plenty of other ways to put this film together rather than using the relationship with his mother and girlfriend as filler and far too much of it br br i guess what i'm wondering is this why at the end of the movie did i know more about the supporting characters than i did about ed why didn't we get to know his mother father and brother and the relationships between them what made him the psychopath he was what abuse he endured as a child that may have contributed to the man he became instead the only thing we got of his childhood were flashes of him as a little boy running br br in the end i give it 4 10 stars thats 2 for the gore and 2 for kane even though it was kind of bad casting in my opinion considering was a man and possibly and is anything but small and nowhere near what i would consider feminine maybe i was just excited because he was jason,negative +i consider myself lucky that i got to view a wonderful movie with two marvelous actors kramer vs kramer was great to me because i think i could relate to it br br unfortunately my parents are divorced even though i was older than billy in this movie i felt his pain and confusion having two parents who you thought were happy and end up hating each other is the worst through this movie actually i think it made me realize that my parents are people too and they had as just much pain as my sister and i had br br back to the movie this was a good one yes it's dated and meryl and dustin are very young but i would recommend this for a lot of people because i think most can relate in some way there are funny sad happy and moments that are carried away by these great actors it's a good movie and deserves more credit than a 7 5 br br 9 10,positive +ok a warning for anyone out there who is a parent or guardian be careful about who you see this film with ie do not take kids to see this film i'll explain why br br 1 the title is misleading and the film has nothing to do with romance i assume this was fully intentional on the producers behalf but is annoying 2 the film itself is really very very disturbing i have some problems first is the fact that the film is neither violent or sexual and therefore is not a but it is a very disturbing film and involves a child and his parents and a small town br br ok it down to this the film is not suitable for because it contains sequences and images that are unsettling and would be confusing to a child is has a bizarre quality to it and its only because it has a child in it that makes me feel its as a parent myself i feel strongly enough to want to tell people because i read only the other day that it is having a release in theatres br br i hope im not the film makers by saying this but i think its my right because its getting a release and has an m rating only because its not violent or sexual just weird and unsettling but pretty good in and of itself,positive +how did they get that cinematic shot of the car with the back end of the semi and then roy sits up great looks like the dvd is for may of 2006 about time watch this on a large screen or film revival in a theater if possible in order to fully appreciate the full aspect ratio my other favorites in this category are original italian job with michael caine with steve mcqueen to live and die in la with the guy when he was young french connection with gene hackman with robert deniro point with barry newman enemy of the state with hackman again what are your favorites,positive +mention bollywood to anyone with a slight with the genre and the images usually up are of tacky over the top musical numbers with that makes vegas seem a of this perception is not helped by the of that most movies that have approached bollywood from an perspective romantic comedy however takes a different it is not a look at those silly people and their clueless antics but a sincere appreciation of bollywood for its its lack of irony and self consciousness br br it is obvious that the director has a tremendous affection and respect for bollywood while at the same time is by its aspects and if you have a with bollywood you can appreciate what he does here in making a true hybrid of bollywood and hollywood movie conventions from one of the opening shots a flashback of the salman character as a child by the sea talking with his grandmother played by helen how many salman movies start with this same premise to the flashback sequence that is into the movie that and has been filming anyone who has seen enough bollywood movies will recognize these references the story itself tried and true conventions from both hollywood and bollywood as well – the fish out of water meets duty to one's family at the expense of personal the structure of the film follows the typical bollywood plot line of the more comical set up of the first half giving way to a more dramatic resolution of the second yet ultimately the sensibility of the film is that of hollywood with its understated humor and its story of a woman learning to believe in herself to reach self br br you couldn't have a movie inspired by bollywood if there weren't any musical numbers and this movie does not disappoint with seven of them unlike bollywood however the songs do not pop out of nowhere and transport its characters to a european locale or beach they exist as musical numbers that are part of the film that is being made reminiscent of how musical numbers were justified in busby berkeley movies as being part of a stage show or they come out of a situation where music already has a reason to be there – a sexy nightclub scene where teaches to dance or a beach scene where there are musicians including a cameo from the singer performing all reflect the emotional state of the protagonists at that point in the movie often the music will take a conventional song from one genre and put a twist on it from the other so in one of the highlights of the film where comes into her own the song is fairly typical of its genre – the female star singing and dancing among a line of women – but in this case it's blond ali looking like a total natural bollywood film star and lip to the hindi lyrics with no subtitles br br also with bollywood are visuals and that aspect beautifully thanks to some of the top talent working in bollywood today the cinematographer is anil who was also the cinematographer for and hum de the choreographer is and production designer is both from hum de and you can really see the influence of hum de on this film – in fact the floor in one of the numbers was originally from which has an pattern br br as for the cast obviously has a for acting talent as by playing by heart – one of the first movies for both angelina jolie and and in this film he again hits the mark with ali one of the main reasons the film works is because of she makes a bitchy unappealing character sympathetic and her subsequent transformation believable and she is smart funny and sexy because she is smart and funny she and salman share excellent chemistry and that is one of the film's biggest strengths br br salman khan plays the role of prince charming here as through his iconic role as this is old school however so expect a quiet subdued salman those used to him in his usual may be disappointed – or it's a sincere and sensitive performance from him marred only by poor of his english lines br br with a refreshing lack of cynicism and embrace of romantic love the film is a love letter to bollywood and hollywood movies of,positive +i enjoyed two of the three movies in the sarah plain tall trilogy this the final of the three was definitely one of the good ones it is an excellent family film with wonderful acting by the three adult stars christopher walken glenn close and jack palance br br the storyline is simple but well told the only sub par performance was by one of the kids it was interesting to see how the kids had grown since that first movie br br of the three that initial sarah was the best filmed with some beautiful cinematography this movie didn't have that but it had the best story it had some genuinely sentimental moments and a very nice ending br br highly recommended,positive +i took my family to see this past weekend we had so looked forward to it but had my kids not been there my husband and i would have left coming from a community we found the fact that all of the male in the film having drawn on them was a little disturbing we felt like we were watching cross dressing or something it was just odd to hear a male voice come from a female body after checking some of the production notes on a different website i felt like the animators might have slipped up on this fact i know this is just an animated humorous show but by putting female body parts on a male i had to suspend my disbelief so much that i just couldn't enjoy the movie like i might have i know can be found funny but they were definitely over used none of the other animals in the movie seemed to have gender specific body parts drawn on them and i would have preferred the in this show to at least have the correct ones if they had to be drawn on at all the kids however still enjoyed the movie though we took the time afterward to make sure they knew the difference between and,negative +when i was young i'd get up early every saturday morning not to watch cartoons but to turn on the local channel for what was called fu theatre ' it wasn't as if these films were works of art it wasn't as if these films all came from china japan korea or any country in particular if the story had to do with fighting – be it or – and if the fighting didn't resemble much of anything going on in any american gym class then that was good enough it wasn't as if they were really even very good they were just great action flicks with incredibly over dramatic music where the hero his vengeance over a whole host of bad guys and then the credits would roll br br sword in the moon is much like these films of my youth arguably a bit of a given a welcome twist by the characters up enough that it becomes increasingly difficult to tell the bad guys from the good br br is known throughout the kingdom as 'the human butcher ' he kills quickly and mercilessly on behalf of the the chief bodyguard of an emperor who his life and the life of his men in exchange for his service however an equally rebel and his lovely sidekick appear in the countryside and start murdering and agrees to find these rebels and kill them his task becomes one of personal discovery when he learns that the two rebels are a friend from his past and his former love br br sadly sword doesn't have much to itself from other action films some stunning cinematography is nearly entirely wasted on shoddy editing with portions of the film put together so loosely its hard to believe that what inevitably made it to the film was what anyone intended while the atmosphere and story tend to toward a dark mood the tone is almost sacrificed to the never ending parade of flashbacks as each of the main characters is given a healthy story arc what should've been a quick and easy action film gets down by far too much personal and the film suffers as a result br br i've read that this film marks first real into the world of art house action pieces along the likes of tiger hidden dragon next time i'd strongly suggest that the producers stick with a little more and a little less ',negative +often considered last great film this entry into the giallo is better than any film that has followed it though i have yet to see mother of tears but to call it his last great film might be it a bit br br the directorial and the hallmark of all films is indeed present with some of his sequences of suspense up with his best the sequence is especially memorable and the cinematography by taylor is outstanding the lighting is beautiful br br however the narrative which is hit and miss in all of films is missing here there is indeed a potent sense of mystery and intrigue but the plot to what is essentially a string of murder sequences with one following the another leaving no real time to fully a right focused mystery to be solved all of this results in a climax that is well anti climatic as the film did not enough interest to make us truly care br br regardless this is recommended simply due to the masterful direction and beautiful imagery that evokes i recommend this as a starting point for films however for that i would recommend either deep red or but if you enjoyed those or even any giallo then this is a very good addition to your viewing,positive +is not a terrible movie but it is quite forgettable the lighting is intentionally poor in many scenes and unintentionally poor in all the rest so you are likely to come out of a viewing with a headache or eye strain special effects are imaginative but obvious the gratuitous nudity essential for teen slasher flicks is there of course along with the teenagers but the whole movie just doesn't what was needed was some dialogue and more tongue in cheek humor br br i can't really recommend that you use your time watching this movie i often give a nod to a movie based on just a scene or two that demonstrates imagination or humor but these are sadly lacking in this film,negative +i have always loved brenda and betty was no disappointment i saw it on satellite on dreary sunday morning life has been and this movie made me laugh and see things we usually consider dire in a way i wish she would make more movies like this and saving grace brenda is a great gal for us approaching 60 to see in action she is cute beautiful and full of life without appearing plastic and phony not many actresses are out there for us to relate to in a realistic yet comical and or serious way brenda if you see this keep going with gems like this we need more mrs and,positive +i cannot stress how bad this movie is this director took every cheap little shot at making these people look so why are their clothes so dirty why on earth would you get the new clark kent to play a crack head you should be banned from motion pictures for the rest of your life buddy br br i take serious offense to this fool wanting to cast real actors as thugs and as some kind of clever joke why would you ask clark kent to play a why are they yelling so much why is everyone so mean why are those kids so filthy no one would want to be so filthy not even a child br br you need to grow up and not make any movies ever again,negative +lois film was and still kind of is a very bold and daring film i enjoyed it and was very impressed by the filming and story of it the priest sees the of the people in his church and tries to show them the naked truth the people are appalled when he reveals the naked statue portraying truth after failing to lead them to it and the few that did help along the way the people do not want to face the truth that they are doing anything wrong but it shows them putting things before god going to beach parties acting inappropriate their ways and other things in which the people of our world do that tend to not be morally right in the end failing to gain any followers he must enter into the gates of heaven alone this film seems to me to be very bold in the fact that a naked woman is shown throughout it especially considering the time period in which this film was made the imagery and symbolism portrayed in this movie i found incredible the way they made the naked woman and using a naked woman to the naked truth shows a lot of creativity and art showing the different sins of the people as they walked down the road and refused to follow along the path each with different excuses and or higher was a great way of representing the people of today this film does a very good job of getting the moral message across to its audience lois has a tremendous way of capturing her attention with her creativity symbolism visuals and through even the music of the piano throughout this film is very beautiful and fitting with the whole theme,negative +jamie foxx was the epitome of ray charles after a few moments you stop seeing a film and see a biography played by the great man himself ray charles was truly a genius of music and the movie excellently depicted that no one has ever or will ever write play or record music like this musical giant when he passed the flesh the world lost one of it's greatest american heroes as far as the movie the fact that jamie foxx received a classical music to college and could play like ray was an asset to the director what could be better than that you don't have to have a double play piano and then try to split the screen from someone else's hands to face it worked beautifully i loved the fact that it also picked up how difficult ray was he wasn't always a nice man you didn't also root for him he was a drug addict a and sometimes just plain hard headed but i guess that's what made him genius so i can't fault him for that i pick jamie for best actor,positive +being stuck in bed with the and feeling too rough to get up to find the remote i actually watched this abomination from start to finish how many people can say that and for any who can what's your excuse my god has there ever ever been such a total mess released by a major studio there is not one second of genuine tension in a supposed thriller the script is inept and ludicrous the sets look like they were from a low budget tv movie and the cast what were they thinking sally field gives what is without doubt the worst and most embarrassing performance of any academy award winner in history her irritating and behaviour in what is meant to be a life threatening situation are truly it's a wonder she didn't use all her future to buy up and destroy every print of this turkey michael caine who now endlessly on the art of screen acting even running master classes for would be should be taken out and shot preferably by one of telly henchmen angela an actress i usually like and whose name isn't even in the opening credits poor soul is ten years too old for her role and her horrible yellow prom dress must haunt her nightmares to this day it are karl malden and shirley knight hopefully they a big pay to their involvement the whole film is a series of bad scenes but one that especially sticks in my mind is the explosion which results in the ceiling if an upside down deck can be as such and a load of empty cardboard boxes falling through how scary really really terrible,negative +he who fights with monsters might take care he thereby become a monster and if you for long into an the also into you br br yes this is from from beyond good and evil and that's what you find at the start of this movie br br if you watch the whole movie you will doubt if it was the message that the ram production wanted to pass on as the scenes crop up one by one quite violent and at times the viewer is expected to forget the quote and think otherwise that to deal with few people you need dedicated people like who will have the to kill anyone not just writing something of the police to do as we are made to believe br br when was and the government wanted to pass newer and even more laws did the required brain surgery without blood for the growing thinking urban crowd whose views matters in a country like india within a year was passed br br when real life encounter a monster on the path of fighting and was himself by was made to out false impression among the people about this with it's you have to be a monster to save your nation approach br br and people consumed it no questions raised only and hopes that they get a in their local police station who will solve all problems and hence let only milk and flow all over blood you can ignore br br every time israel attacks or we hear voices like india must also similarly attack this movie is made for such if you don't give them this they will probably die out of boredom and and what not br br hence this game of the passion of hatred,negative +this story focuses on the birth known as or alcohol syndrome a disease too often among native americans in spite of the down beat nature of this drama the great script and the characterizations move the story along very well this is arguably best performance,positive +this documentary was neither nor made the whole thing played out like a conspiracy theory by to win the match in question just to make some money has an ego problem he was up before the match and when he lost he didn't like it i remember playing chess against computers back in the 80s and it wasn't too difficult to win as time went on i started to lose and didn't like it today i simply don't play against computers anymore because they're just too good not only that the games are uninteresting and lack the appeal of human games where both sides are more likely to and open the game to exciting possibilities this documentary keeps showing us images of the which is an ancient chess playing that was really controlled by a human being from the start until the end we are lead to believe that short of literally a human in the back of their sized computer i'm a computer scientist and take offense at the notion that just because lost must have cheated i know how computers play chess it's not magic and it's no mystery they can be trained have huge amounts of chess knowledge and they most certainly see positions and possibilities in detail compared to humans it's really no surprise that deep blue won perhaps at the time it was if it happened today given the ever increasing power of machines people would hardly blink if a machine couldn't at least draw with a today people would think the program was weak,negative +cedric movie is easy charm wrapped in nostalgia for our younger years and attractive at its core it's the feature length presentation of the long running mtv reality soap opera known as the real world in which as its goes this is the of seven strangers picked to live in a house and have their lives taped so watch what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real this is exactly what happens minus the cameras planted at every corner of the house in spain where comes to stay having to learn spanish to fill into his an in many ways he slowly forms a with his house mates who come from all of europe except america this is a movie in which the only american shown is an unlikable character with whom wendy the adorable kelly is having an affair with only for sex she since she has her own boyfriend who makes a late but appearance throughout his stay there he tries to maintain a long distance relationship with his girlfriend played by audrey while he begins a with the wife of the owner of the spanish house where he is staying at and gets some advice from a lesbian house mate de france as to how to seduce a woman a sweet little feature that presents a moment in time that twenty somethings will never see again is forgettable fun containing within itself the into the real world experienced through eyes,positive +stupid government once again attempted to create an and soldier and of course the experiments went terribly wrong us with a half man half mutant who an awful lot and like a little girl whenever he's upset lance stars as the honest scientist who immediately quit the experiment upon hearing it was a military project but he returns bringing the whole family with him when he finds out his beloved guinea pig has gone on a killing spree mind certainly is a watchable horror movie but it's very unoriginal and features pretty much every lame cliché you can think off including the estranged father rebellious teenage son sub plot yawn the characters are like wooden puppets the dumbest things are being said and done and there's a completely pointless dream sequence coming from the monster there's a handful of interesting gory scenes to enjoy and some of the isolated desert locations are effectively eerie lance is adequate as always even though this is yet another inferior production he stars and surely deserved a better motion picture to make his debut in for some reason this anonymous 90's thriller is also known as the hills have eyes part 3 is it because it handles about members of the same family being in the desert is it because wes craven was once again involved as a producer this time or maybe it's because the monster gets bald near the end like the freaky michael in the 1977 original who knows who cares wes craven probably this project because his son co wrote the script and it's always moving to discover that your is equally as you are not recommended,negative +having spent all of her money caring for her ill recently widowed karen moves with her two daughters sarah taylor and emma chloe to her late husband's run down family home in rural where local legends speak of zombies who the woods at night br br just seeing the names of this film's writer and director in the opening credits was enough to send up my spine is the responsible for the scripts for such titles as 1 2 and crocodile whilst j s gave us the the and dull vampire flick the with such dubious talent responsible i didn't expect much from wicked little things br br and having just finished the film i'm glad i kept my expectations low br br although the movie looks good at times with lovely use of the eerie locale and the cast give reasonable performances given the clichéd drivel that they are working with the plot is so poorly written and derivative that it's impossible to be enthusiastic about most importantly perhaps the film's killers undead children who rise each night from the mine in which they died aren't in the least bit scary a of makeup black contacts and some crappy joke shop doing very little to add to the sense of menace taylor and company do their best to look afraid of the tiny screaming convincingly with every confrontation but their admirable attempts to a sense of fear in the audience is to little the little just ain't got what it takes to chill the blood br br there are a few zombie scenes in a to win over gore and the final kill which sees the blood both and is suitably tasteless but on the whole wicked little things aka zombies in the uk is instantly forgettable another in the of and,negative +i have watched this movie countless times and never failed to be by it's simplicity sincerity and goodness great characterizations by all of the cast and the lovely little steam trains that play a such an important supporting role i confess i fell in love with in 1970 and she still touches me today shown on tv in new zealand on christmas day the present i could have had,positive +captain is a beautiful film with a lovely cast including the wonderful nicolas cage who as always is brilliant in the movie the music in the film is really nice too i'd advise anyone to go and see it brilliant 10 10,positive +this is possibly the hands down worst movie every made that actually took itself seriously and not as a result of the acting because being an actor i have to say that and had to be at their best just to escape needing therapy after the principle photography wrapped being one of the people that actually saw this movie in theatrical release i have to say i have never before or since experienced a movie where the movie ended credits rolled the house lights went on and no one moved from their seats about five minutes after the house lights went up people started coming out of their to look around and i think most of us thought okay we get it that was a joke right they are going to show the real movie now eventually after the handed out and we an of to never admit we were there we felt that it was safe to leave praying that we would not be seen leaving the i have seen some pretty bad movies in my day i have for goodness but i am still bitter that i will never ever be able to recover those two or so hours of my life that i lost watching closet land,negative +i have watched this movie on and off since it started playing about 1 hour ago and i have to say thats an hour of my life i wasted and will not be getting back the acting is crap and the scripts need a serious look at and whoever wrote them needs to be slapped perhaps the tv will explode and put me out of my misery the only good thing about this movie is that for guys and girls it has some good eye candy in it though most of which i wish would disappear as far as the movie is concerned the special effects as sh t who thinks a guy dressed in skin tight leather pants and half a leather jacket is scary he looks more feminine than most of the women in this movie the voice of is pathetic nobody finds it threatening or scary at all please tv i beg you to blow up,negative +the other reviewer was completely correct about this one the writing was awful the acting was awful the subject was awful the actors looked like they were not really into the movie like they almost had to be there there were some unique camera effects but they were not really to the story or what there was of a story and they weren't produced particularly well br br i suppose they were trying to on the success can i say that of the other influenced movies code left behind and yes it does make christians embarrassed when these types of movies are produced i would not recommend this movie to anyone especially a non christian,negative +i absolutely this movie as a child and still do as an adult to say that is even an understatement my sister brother and i watched it one year at our house during christmas vacation they had taped it from tv our parents were glad it kept us occupied for the one night but they thought we would tire of it and be ready for activities the next day not so we became they could not have us if they tried it became a tradition we loved everything about it the time the romance the battle scenes the villains etc br br come on who can resist hating that psycho bent with his constant sir classic moreover who can resist cheering wildly when justin falls off the balcony what a moment i always had a special place in my heart for and they were so romantic the theme song alone can get me to tear up a little this movie is incredibly moving and i challenge anyone to stick with it until the very end it's worth it,positive +pearl harbor buddy this movie is brilliant sure it doesn't exactly flow like an multi million dollar comedy does but the jokes that are constantly thrown in are unbelievable i'm one that goes for silliness much like dumb and dumber airplane and wet hot american summer and i have to say this easily ranks up there movies just aren't written with this kind of comedy anymore too many jokes in this are such a surprise to the viewer that it's honestly amazing that more don't know about and praise this slapstick masterpiece when watching this you will easily find over 20 quotes from it that you will find yourself after and after to watch it again you'll find even more,positive +flash gordon is undoubtedly the best of all american serials in a date so early as 1936 universal was capable of making such an entertainment story and twenty years later when i watched it for the first time as a kid it involved me in a great adventure and emotion buster was the hero we always wanted to be in our childhood and jean rogers the beautiful girl we always to be in love with dragons monsters were also the attraction charles was a great presence as the a true predecessor of george,positive +two hands is a hilarious australian gangster movie set in really sydney i bet tourists never sydney and to look like it did in this film all bodies oppressive and gangsters in shorts and heath ledger plays an amateur boxer with an eye on becoming part of the local king's cross gang he looked rather magnificent in his green wife and blue a does become him i always had him down as a home away boy and he has been in that soap which is a little than the insipid the film is really worth watching for its combination of humour and nasty violence the drowning scene is expected to give me nightmares soon awards country girl love interest city brother and,positive +from the makers of underworld we have by far the worst werewolf movie i have ever seen it is basically a version of underworld yet lacking vampires not a big deal cool effects a big deal and generally just about everything that can possibly be done right to produce a decent film dealing with the biggest deal of them all a twenty something chocolate maker named vivian is currently in romania ever since her family was hunted down and executed in front of her years ago in america for being werewolves there she belongs to a small society or pack of werewolves and is apparently chosen to the pack leader gabriel whose son some with a british accent takes it upon himself to hunt outside of the pack they have apparently been discovered in other countries prior and want to remain settled in romania by avoiding negative attention so of course such activity is considered forbidden vivian ends up falling in love with an american artist who is oblivious to her involvement with the group of blood when they end up discovering the secret relationship things get messy when someone is killed and the human is forced to participate in a deadly tradition in which he is set loose in the woods and is hunted giving the pack a chance to into their all this really consists of is a big leap before they light up and land as a wolf very effects the entire movie is like a down underworld with some romantic montages and very little action watching this in the theater i could not wait for it to end a boring disappointment avoid,negative +walter matthau and jack lemmon both of whom are sadly missed proved once again that they were a team dedicated to their craft of bringing hilarious moments to the screen this film is just another example of this br br this time out they play two brothers in law who land on a ship as dance on board br br of course their boss is a and miserable person named who just enjoys these boys it's hilarious how lemmon gives a quick lesson in dancing to matthau and how the latter dances a with the owner br br too bad that fellow dance hal and donald are given so little to do but their parts call for that matthau falls for cannon on board with her fellow gold digging mother the usual outrageous unknown to them matthau has no money either the widower lemmon falls for gloria de looking than ever br br the film belongs to matthau and lemmon and will serve as a further tribute to their careers,positive +catherine is a french director who loves to her audience she takes us along to witness how a film is done on location the movie in production seems to be based on herself since the person at the center of the story is a woman director much like ms acts as the alter ego of the real director br br reaches an at the start of filming not only has she picked the wrong time to photograph this movie during a cold spell as it involves beach locations that are obviously too cold for the actors and extras has problems with the two principal actors especially the male lead who has problems accepting the way the director has decided to show him in the movie the lead actress is no angel either br br movie making ms tells us is a process like no other in a creative work of art first there is the writing period in which in this case has written a screen play that when it goes into production reveals problems the writer director didn't think about there is the problem of how she wants to photograph a love scene in which the young woman of the story has her first sex contact what appeared clever in the written page doesn't necessarily translate into an easy time in front of the camera the actor is made to wear a false penis and has a lot of problems accepting the fact that a make up has to touch him in ways he never thought he would ever be touched by another man br br the anne is marvelous as the director she makes observations about the production the actors and the crew that fit well into the story being told colin and play the lead actors with all the that some actors bring to a movie set has to their in order to get what she wants in the end ashley plays leo assistant br br sex is comedy allows ms to give us her own take on films in general this is a great look at the way movies are done in a typical style,positive +naturally is by far the worst show i have ever seen it is such a piece of sh and loaded with complete i didn't find any of the gags to be funny or somewhat clever it was all awful jokes br br the acting sucks many of the characters sucked at acting charlotte arnold is such a terrible actor the other characters suck too rain hal br br the plot isn't unique and creative at all and the show is very much predictable this is one of the worst shows made of all time it shouldn't have even been made the idiots who are responsible of writing this garbage should get fired if they already didn't the fist season was actually watchable but the second season was just a disaster its too hard to watch this show it is beyond awful,negative +this is awesome there is no quite like errol and olivia there love is genuine i'm 24 yet this flick is as captivating now as i'm sure it was 60 years ago walsh is an under rated genius his direction is so sweeping so broad yet so intimate the last scene between colonel flynn and his wife de almost brought me to tears not easy for a old guy its so heart wrenching there is also a deep christian message here the faith has in taking your glory with you and the trust and of his wife to the extent of letting him go in order that he his moral duty to protect the innocent civilians from certain massacre there is no movie that deals with these issues quite like this a must see for anyone who wants to look at this defining moment in american and military history from the inside patriotic for all the right reasons i knew errol flynn was a star and de was a screen legend this only my that they are among the very greatest,positive +seen this at the fantasy in and left the cinema halfway through this movie with a bunch of other people so maybe not the right one to comment on it but i think the fact of leaving s c is reason enough to do so s c is a different film people who need a coherent narration characters or a find anything in this one it´s supposed to be an experimental film relying on the power of images but these images have no power they are so forced in their intention of simply people out that they have nothing else to say the of the off narrator is simply boring the visuals are cheap ok the effects are good but if the only thing why care film wants to be shocking and thought provoking instead it is boring and annoying in its non creativity note not every movie without a story is art and there is absolutely no creativity in breaking anymore especially not if everything is executed as bad as in s c suggest director should either visit a psychiatrist or a before he mistakes crap for art again note i never want to see a baby getting during birth again,negative +this film is so copy cat cliché ridden clumsy and i find it astounding that anyone could not feel cheated by the experience of sitting through it br br here is the range of idiotic clichés ridiculous and simply storytelling in this hard hitting representation of high school the tough guy jock is really a homosexual the a student is unhappy because his father pushes him and somehow this causes him to commit incest a teacher is mean to a student who his pants in class a girl who is going out with the above mentioned jock is really in love with him and just wants a family br br maybe the only saving grace is the student scenes which are vaguely interesting but most of the devices in this film are so that it belief br br this film shows me no insight into teenagers and i will not be surprised when it bombs especially with teenagers the people who like this film seem to be parents worried about their teenagers and boy are they up the wrong tree if they think this film will help with understanding teen issues i mean what is the moral of this film hey guys let's all look out for each other and hug each other give me a break anyone who thinks you can get through to a 14 year old with that kind of message needs to think back in the 1980s we were watching kentucky fried movie evil dead terminator etc this film will fall on deaf ears br br 2 is right up there with another australian film perfect day ' which was as bad as this utter turkey of a film thank god no money was spent on this br br avoid,negative +no offense to anyone who saw this and liked it but i hated it it dragged on and on and there was not a very good plot also too simple and the acting was so so br br i would give this a 2 at the most,negative +i have seen this film at least 100 times and i am still excited by it the acting is perfect and the romance between joe and jean keeps me on the edge of my seat plus i still think bryan brown is the tops brilliant film,positive +to keep from being bored during love and sex first i tried to think of all the movies this was of breaking up with russell and though that had a more original ending about last night with rob lowe and a lot of tv shows br br second was just how gorgeous is so i couldn't believe for a that she could have a problem getting a date she is certainly in line to give julia roberts a run for her money literally and wasn't julia in some movie with this same plot or other br br third was trying to figure out why the writer director bothered to give jon character the jewish name of adam levy he even refers to eating a ham br br fourth was trying to figure out why some critics had given this a good review which is why i was in the theater br br originally written 9 2 2000,negative +this movie is very scary with scenes where the devil uses horn to open heaven and pull the good angel dogs out and them on the devil sings and dances to a few songs about the of being bad and at one point eats a live rat br br we got this movie free with a pizza you get what you pay for,negative +michael played by steven robertson has and lives a quiet and dull life in home when a newcomer to the home befriends him he proceeds to show michael how to live past the despite or maybe because of unable to move all but his head and a few on his hand is independent and extremely rebellious his affect upon the quiet and michael is spectacular and the two soon leave the care home to set up lives in the outside world where they the help of as a care assistant br br this film is one of the gems of the year much like last year's in america the film goes from being extremely funny to touching and truly moving without once seeming sweet knowing exactly where to at the and where to simply let the story and characters do their thing has crafted a wonderful film which tells us all to look past the surface and see what lies within br br the true strengths of the film come in the lead actors so convincing are their characters that you truly do believe that they are disabled to further manage to convey humor and sorrow on top of the already great performances is amazing the pair really seem close friends and as their tale unfolds you care completely for them br br this is definitely one of the finest examples of film this year telling a very relevant story in a simple way if this film fails to touch your heart then you must contain pure ice inside,positive +what if someone made a horror movie that was completely devoid of plot br br well i think it would probably end up a little bit like this one i don't think i've ever seen a move was so steady it its slide from hackneyed at the beginning to complete crap by the end i only stuck with it because i kept thinking it couldn't possibly get worse well up until the very end graveyard of horror proved me wrong br br who would have suspected that a movie with an undead lizard man evil grave robbing and mad scientists tossed in for no discernible reason could suck this bad one would think at least be some humor value but not here,negative +what has done to himself once a hit director of films like and is now making one bad film after another i was initially excited at the thought of returning to the action genre but that soon out as a fan i thought i should at least give it a go but i left after an hour one reason for me leaving the film so early so the amount of bashing in the film this was not in previous venture br br a lot of directors have tried bashing but i did not expect it from another letdown was the music have always had good music until now there is only one good song and that is the performances are not scratch not even from shah fare from once my favourite director,negative +i had the pleasure of seeing live before seeing the video version of the show while nothing can compare to actually being there the people behind the video did an amazing job of capturing the flavor the feel the sensation and so much more the wonderful performances of stunningly amazing are beautifully captured throughout the video flows as smoothly and as the production itself a wonderful experience,positive +the interaction between portman and sarandon was quite interesting and i was really sold on the mother daughter relationship it is a family story that isn't down by and special effects a story of how it really is i couldn't help but give of a sigh at the end of this movie for alas it is a well told bittersweet tale of growing up and relating with family and friends the acting was quite exquisite and i hope we'll be seeing both portman and sarandon in familiar roles down the road,positive +as an indie filmmaker i try to at least make a decent film this piece of was beyond low budget it was shot on video and not mini at least the look and feel of this was just i met the director a few years ago at in la and he was talking about that book film making for that he was putting together i thought this little video was going to be something but i guess i was wrong he could have brought the value up a little by shooting film instead of that awful video the plot was stupid as well as the acting and all the fake green screen and sound and the whole nine i had a choice tonight to rent any movie and made the wrong choice damn i did buy which was a hell of a movie maybe the director should read real motion picture books on film making and not try to cut when trying to make a low budget flick maybe he should learn from the masters who made night of the living dead and the evil dead and chain saw massacre just to name a few of the all time low budget great hits this is one video that should have stayed dead i cannot call it a film because he did not use film,negative +it's funny how time went by and never saw this movie last week when i was like under a spell i saw it twice in a week and it still wasn't enough it's a great movie and i will love to see it again the story is great and it really moved me i would love to live such a story the actors are great the music too and you can dream about your own love story i just hope that someday i will find the opportunity to learn to dance like johnny and baby i feel like dance people and brings them together i think people should learn to dance it helps a lot especially in a relationship it's great to feel the dance in your blood and in your body,positive +the story is disjointed and poorly written we are given threads and a possible hook in act one only to see it had the writer bothered reading his work carefully it have been apparent that character's initial problem and meeting with the girl suggests that there will be a troubled alliance between them as they try to solve his problem br br the problem goes nowhere the relationship goes nowhere and there is no sexual tension in any of the relationships no one anyone and no one is appealing the writing and directing is laughable you can feel someone struggling with the mess and shifting the story focus about trying to some excitement there is none the writer director is simply a whose muddled efforts somehow became a movie from simple errors such as ' they took ' in japan in 2007 to insulting errors such as nudity for this movie is an insult you cannot make them much worse br br and by on the talent list the producers thought they'd have some success he is hardly acting asia certainly is and the result is some heroin br br give it a big miss,negative +the main portion of this lightweight musical story is located at fictional college which peter peter hayes due to the of stage actress grace hayes his real life mother who fills the same role here and who manages to supply his love interest through her secretary mary who is his real life wife directed from a weak script and additionally by excessive cutting and poor editing this film does provide some among its eight songs including the title number and has nice turns by soprano benny as a shop and the dynamic tap dancing,negative +an obvious cash in on the insert monster here on a plane gimmick flight of the living dead is about what you'd expect it to be br br the film has little or no plot which is what you'd expect from a film of this type although it is fun in parts i must say the zombie action is particularly entertaining once the film picks up it never stops the pacing is solid br br the practical special effects are pretty good but the cgi is terrible and distracting br br the ending seems to leave the film open to a sequel let's hope that doesn't come to br br if you're a die hard fan of the zombie sub genre of horror films i'd recommend it to you it's worth at least one watch however if you're just an avid fan of the genre leave it on the shelf br br 3 10,negative +is not a classic it is a of the wonderful original le directed by and starring a much more attractive and charming jean if you want to fully experience the and the characters in i recommend you don't even watch this movie and see le instead for it is much more elaborate more beautifully filmed the lines are not clichéd and the characters much more to reality furthermore the ending is so dramatic and key to character that you'll find the version although does an almost excellent job each scene the acting falls short as does the credibility of the characters plus the wardrobe is truly breath taking in all scenes particularly in the last scene and at all times but also when she's on the boat frankly is cheap as far as go,negative +of all the movies in the history of movies i can't imagine someone sitting down and saying i want to spend x amount of dollars or pounds sterling to remake that flawed classic film called lots of stories have been turned into films about coming to earth with something sinister lurking inside why not put your money into making a spectacular 3d remake of it came from outer space instead why look for a flick that existed only for the purpose of showing off a set of monsters and some naked was the script for the 1986 version of so inspiring that these producers felt it had to be done again and this time done correctly when you come down to it the only reason this film exists is to show off pie samantha but if you're gonna make a skin flick and exploit sam in it you'd better have her more naked than this and naked more often than this if you want to succeed br br meteor lands monster escapes duff their clothes monster eats people and another what if ending ensues br br honestly i never thought i would ever recommend the original over any other film but this would be the one to come in 2nd place to it,negative +seeing as how i am a big fan of both fall and if lucy fell i came to with high expectations i am not sure i could have been more disappointed this had it all weak dialogue weak performances you name it i was let down oh well better luck next time eric,negative +imagine yourself trapped inside a museum of the dark middle ages and a vampire and his sidekick are chasing you where is the absolute last place you want to hide i'd say inside the uncanny virgin of torture device because there's a good risk you'll get brutally to death and yet the elderly lady in this film runs into her coffin the coffin is a rather disappointing sequel as director doesn't re create the gothic atmosphere of the 1957 original but puts the emphasis on comical situations and dialogs no more ominous with eerie and dark but confused doctors and clumsy that laughs instead of the story opens inside count de final place where an doctor and a hired assistant steal the coffin in order to examine the corpse at a private clinic naturally the wooden stake gets removed from his heart and the vampire count comes to live again immediately the petty thief to do his dirty work the vampire has his eye on a beautiful female patient at the clinic and it's up to dr to rescue her soul and to destroy the the coffin uses a limited amount of locations and there's very little action the whole film would actually be pretty boring if it weren't for a handful of memorable sequences and decent acting performances the photography is amazing though with the sublime use of shadows and darkness this is most notably during the scene in which count de stalks a young woman through the deserted streets of little town at night it's the only truly worthwhile scene of the whole film the rest is fairly mediocre and,negative +another day this movie requires you to watch it another day to understand it i thoroughly enjoy watching and i was quite interesting in seeing how well julian and appeared together following the roles they played in i can certainly praise the acting skills throughout the film even the directing but the plot what happened i am at a loss for words because i am still confused i have to stay loyal to the actors who really did a good job considering the madness of the plot i also have to recommend you watch it because despite the plot madness i would still watch it over and over again,negative +not even original in the plot ho hum there were a couple of angles that could have been quite interesting but the film follows the path of 90 of hollywood movies i don't really get samuel jackson's acting most of the time in his other films but he was rather good in this film he rarely and went much further in his character rather than to an in your face anger i liked eva as usual and even though she is great eye candy she proves herself to be much more than that as an actress luis was actually really good also except that i disliked the change of his character towards samuel jackson at the end of the film how can one's character center around a dislike for a former cop and then turn into land within a split second is there no original thought left in hollywood,negative +once again we are fortunate to see a gorgeous opening scene where the work has been fully restored and we see this old time store on a street corner with the snow gently falling inside are the rich colors of all the from produce to and goods to medicine to candy etc br br in essence this is a story of those goods coming to life such as the animals on the of items or a pie or even a pack of br br the whole show is narrated by jack bunny a jack benny with music from conductor leopold who was in so many looney tunes animated shorts i have lost count a lot of the humor is so it pays to know who little egypt and other characters the busby berkeley type number with bathing suited coming out of the can and the can can dance were both clever br br all of the above and more was in the first half of this slightly longer than normal length cartoon the second half was about a king kong type which escapes from the animal box and everyone that part was not much and ended on a somewhat stupid note so an a for the first half a d for the second making it about a c plus or b minus overall,positive +is insipid and unconvincing kline over acts as always as does while an english accent at least i assume that's what he's attempting and the tone between and as with most pet projects a celebrity couple it's a relief when this shoddy piece to it's forced and jarring conclusion,negative +when i first heard that this movie was going to be made i was very excited to see it the ideas to make a movie of this caliber as good as it was must have been very difficult i wasn't really sure if anyone could all of the many amazing qualities in a movie but the movie did his memory justice in my opinion the most important task was to reveal to the people who the started out as to his days in all the way to his last days in the this movie followed every aspect of his life thomas the man who played the in his adult life and on did a very good job at getting the emotion across overall this movie was educational but also very entertaining,positive +i was aware of man of the year's critical pans and gross but was prepared to give the film the benefit of the doubt because i know good pictures can fall under the radar during the crowded release schedule of the fall months br br what i found out was that the movie is surprisingly uninspired surprising is an understatement considering barry gift for political satire demonstrated in good morning vietnam and the dog and robin obvious comic gifts robin williams in fact is mysteriously underused on the making of that comes with the dvd barry talked about how sometimes he let robin williams off the script like it was some naughty secret of his you really that much of a moron barry whenever you have robin williams in your film and want to use him for his comic abilities basically every movie he's been in other than insomnia or one hour photo don't cage him within a script let him ad whatever he wants because he is the funnier than anything anyone else can write for him and his comic can instantly raise the bar on any mediocre movie like or adams what i found even more in his failure to make use of robin williams was that back in 1987 used this exact formula to perfection in good morning vietnam robin bursts of comic into a war picture to make a political piece br br so the film isn't as much of a laugh fest as it could be and feels lost in its tone if the film had potential to work as anything it might have made one of those thrillers from the mid in the style of the brief the fugitive or one of those jack ryan films its plot centered around an employee at a valley company a in a system that reveals that the country elected the wrong president and the efforts of the to eliminate her before the secret gets out so if you replaced robin williams with some harrison ford type actor or perhaps even harrison ford himself added a couple more explosions and maybe that's where the movie was trying to go i'll never really know and it's not worth it to try to find out,negative +not a film of entertainment but of real lives limited ambition for the working class in 60's enjoyable because of my upbringing not sure it'd work for most people typical full of tv actors actresses of 70's 80's 90's,positive +br br i've seen quite a few bad movies in my days a lot of them in the company of mike tom crow and the others from mst3k so was the case with this one as well and even though i found the movie in itself quite funny it wouldn't have been nearly as fun without the mst3k commentary br br the movie is a prime example of really bad movies coming out of europe during the eighties horrible music horrible acting horrible plot what little there is horrible dialogue and really really really horrible editing br br this might be called a turkey if it weren't for the fact that it's not unique in any way whatsoever it's pretty much the same kind of film that almost every italian hack of a director out br br so try and get the mst3k version it's a pretty fun episode with mike and gang in quite good form,negative +following the atmospheric original and the silly second one this incredibly dull slow and sequel comes across as a major letdown once again the criminal mastermind the bat hammy luis is trying to steal valuable jewelry from the aztec mummy the bat builds a hilariously clunky robot with a human brain in order to achieve this goal directed by with a talky and tedious script by and continuity for example the bat was clearly killed at the end of the previous film but is miraculously alive and well here an excruciatingly script an excessive amount of stock footage from the first two flicks a meandering narrative a lack of action and momentum largely dreary going through the motions non acting from an understandably cast and a poorly staged climactic battle between the mummy and the robot the movie finally bursts to stupid life with said big bash but alas it barely even lasts two lousy minutes and thus proves to be much too little far too late to the of the general overwhelming boredom this numbingly dry and rates as a complete,negative +i have to say is the only reason i even watched this film he is good however everything else about this film is so far below average that it's not worth the time and effort spent viewing this film br br this film has loads of technical aesthetic issues namely shot framing camera movements within monologue sequences extremely bad editing probably due to the total lack of in and between shots and overall terrible acting except for br br it was far too theatrical in acting and presentation to develop any sort of suspenseful moment in this film which is surprising because it's all about a bank robbery which should be at least somewhat exciting br br how does a film this bad get made and then released and then distributed br br kind of reminds me of a c film project probably not even that good though,negative +the film starts with promise because there is more interaction between and but as the film progresses the two boys have fewer scenes together this slows the pace considerably thomas gives a very strong performance in his early scenes when he is left behind on the his fear and are and his tears are truly heartbreaking when he goes from man to man asking for help and is repeatedly rejected the viewer really begins to wonder if this is a comedy or not watching a children's birthday party through a fence is another moving moment as another reviewer mentioned i was also worried about the big dog on chicken bones once and are in marshall home tends to interact mainly with the adults and the chemistry of the children is essentially lost br br the old south type setting really doesn't do much for the plot except allow the children to be out of doors a great deal ralph morgan is the most engaging adult but then the other roles really don't have much substance to them louise manages some funny moments with a soldier towards the end br br the villains aren't really villainous enough and the lovers not intense enough yet i do think it's worth viewing if you're an our gang if for no other reason that the odd curiosity of the whole piece i give it seven stars because while not a great movie it kept me engaged the whole time and curious as to what would happen next,positive +i'm a big fan of the demonic puppets looking at the surface of this one it looks pretty good you've got the puppets and a new villain in the unfortunately the little punk that's doing this project to objects can't act he stinks his girlfriend is worse if they were left out it would probably be cool blade vs the i'd watch that for 2 hours but instead the puppets role is down played and the whole movie suffered because of it the mystical skull guy who created the is corny at best and appearance is long short and really quite disappointing you'd be better off watching the first one again,negative +this good guy vs the evil story set in 19th century russia may have been an attempt to steve career beyond those movies however despite the different costumes it's still a movie with the usual stilted dialog dubbing and cardboard characters on the other hand there's lots of action the pace rarely and reeves gets to do yet another one of those scenes where he's stripped to the bound with and given a which needless to say has little effect on his character,negative +the sexy plays charlotte a new nurse at one of those movie type where the doctor in charge has his own ways of treating the inmates reluctantly bringing her on board is the dr masters anne a k a the inmates don't take too kindly to charlotte either br br part mystery part horror this initial effort from b movie director s f has an oppressive feel to it these colorful including a with no self a gentle giant who's already had a and a supposed judge who speaks in dominate the screen with their unnerving presence br br it's a picture that works fairly well establishing the gritty grim atmosphere right from the get go some brief bursts of graphic violence also help to give it that good old fashioned exploitative quality br br it builds in intensity as the heroine struggles to maintain her own sanity offering one surreal encounter after another particularly effective is the poetry old mrs br br for cheap 1970's era cheese it's pretty effective with a particularly nasty climax i had a pretty good time watching it br br 7 10,positive +didn't have much for this film but was pleasantly surprised very well made film very well cut doesn't really get to the height that human traffic did but it's a very good effort well directed and i thought the lead actor put in a superb performance in fact the only really bad performance in the film was from tim who is supposed to be the name br br cool film surprised it hasn't done better than it has i'd never heard of it until i saw it at a mates br br i'm not a but i imagine people who are will really like this film,positive +okay i'm a history buff and okay i'm a action film so of course this film is on my top ten of all time i really love the action scenes and the unique of the period i sort of have doubts about fighting two handed sword from horse back and the sword seems more like than like oh well i've never fought from horse back either br br i love the attempts at too the typical desert probably couldn't read the so they'd take his word for it several writers have criticized well on vacation as a youth i met a family of south in our west dinosaur national and although they spoke between themselves yeah second generation germans can hear the difference they spoke english with a scottish seems that who teaches you affects your scottish,positive +this movie was bad but it was so bad that it may reach cult status in the distant future a sort of film noir meets plan 9 from outer space the story was well there wasn't actually a story there is a place reserved for the ed woods and russ meyers of the world and this film proves it so bad it might be good is the best way to describe it i seriously doubt if this movie will be picked up by any legitimate distribution company therefore it is unlikely to see wide release br br i will add that i expect to see more of actor ron carey he made the best of what he had the rest of the acting if i can call it that was quite forgettable i have seen worse from big studios with vast budgets,negative +i normally don't try and second guess a crime thriller but was just entirely too predictable samuel l jackson playing the character tom along with his profession created an interesting twist in the beginning of the film however that was about it without even thinking i knew where the plot would be taken and within 30 minutes i had already figured out who the killer was rather then myself and having seen several films that make a i watched to its what a disappointment i was right from the beginning br br the casting of characters was a good as well as the acting from jackson and harris except for eva from the starting gate she didn't play a believable character in to the script and this ruined the entire plot too soon maybe this was a directing or just weakness in the story itself her role as ann should have shown more emotion and distress for the situation that was building around her this would've made the build up a bit more compelling and the ending more dramatic nevertheless is watchable not memorable i've seen episodes of that were more thrilling then this,negative +feeling is not really a road movie but that's still the best i can generate a road movie does not primarily depend on a great story line and since the plot of this movie is truly pathetic it does that description to be interesting such a movie must rely entirely on moving and intriguing characters and on the chemistry between them unfortunately the staff of feeling fails utterly in producing this excitement br br the presentation of the characters is unsatisfying and confusing i can for example not figure out whether keanu reeves did grow up in the house of his mother and brother or not it is said by his mother that he must live with his father but nothing in the film suggests that it ever happens the same goes for the rest of the characters i never get to know them they appear irrational and no real explanation is given to why they do so br br the bottom line is that i leave the movie without any feelings for the characters except and perhaps a tiny kick of attraction for the cute cameron diaz,negative +for this movie based off of a tv show and a serious finale i thought that it was a lousy way to end off a serious a s h goodbye farewell and was pretty good but not this one unless you really love the series like myself skip this movie br br i was a loyal fan of the show even stevens but the plot was too and dave man that guy hasn't done anything good well ever they shouldn't have used tim meadows he's a great actor but he was too good for the script br br i thought the movie was pure cheese i would give it a 4 5 10,negative +this movie may appear to be and for it seems to be the stereotypical high school movie but in fact it takes an honest and touching look at the high school experience it doesn't some unrealistic ending where the and the popular kids it doesn't change what happened in it just attempts to with it this is a really great fun heart warming movie good for teens and for those who can still remember being one,positive +this is by far and away the stupidest thing i have ever seen on celluloid i mean we started watching it assuming it was a t a flick but aside from a couple boobs that was it i mean i get the point of making stupid movies in order to show some sex scenes as they are the sole reason for a movie of that kind to be made this movie however has no sex scenes and really has no point at all there is no linear time the scenes travel around like a fart in the wind people show up for no reason then leave and it is never explained the plot is never advanced and nothing happens i have never been as at how bad a movie was until i saw this has the director even been to a film school has he ever seen a movie i don't know but from the looks of it he seems to have made some moron proud with this piece of crap as he is still working i literally walked away from this movie dumber but i still recommend watching it as it should be shown in every film school of the country as an example in what not to do when making a film move over plan 9 from outer space you have a new for worst movie ever made,negative +i was at in toronto as a 10 year old and the event i saw then was pretty different from what i saw on the collection dvd i just watched i don't understand how the wwe doesn't have the rights to some of the old music since most of those songs were created by the they shouldn't have to worry about the and that prevent shows like snl from releasing season sets its pretty stupid to about but for me hearing come out to their theme music at a in person was a memory that i never forgot and it didn't exist on this dvd what is the point of them even the rights to this huge library of video if they have to edit it so drastically to use it,negative +oz is an old tv series released by hbo it shows the life in one security prison called but the main plot is focused on city which is one of the prison levels br br oz have an amazing plot and an outstanding cast there are many of characters and almost all of them are very interesting basically they are divided in groups gangs the the black people the the gays the and many others who doesn't have any specific group but deal with many others like ryan the irish br br the plot is very well built there are a lot of conspiracy inside a lot of fight for the power but all of this is not just exposed in form of violence all is very intelligent and smart nothing happens without a reason all is connected and very interesting to guess i really love this series and who wanna see something intelligent very well produced with a very good cast and performances must see oz,positive +i've read anne frank the diary of a young girl when i was in high school and found myself completely in her story and also in the broadway play of her life in the secret br br however i'm a little about how people have perceived her diary and of her as a person seeing her as a little saint or having a message of hope for the world i don't think that was the original intention of her diary she wrote it mainly for herself even though she did make some before the of the secret were betrayed it to be published someday br br but i never saw her as a saint or as a of hope but as a very talented writer who could express her thoughts very well and very in a diary no doubt she was a very engaging writer and she did possess an extraordinary talent with expressing herself fully with words you really got to know her well through her diary but the importance of her diary lies in the fact that it is a testament and an important historical document of the proof that the holocaust did happen br br it also brought the tragedy of the holocaust closer to home to lose someone that we could put a familiar face and personality to at such a young age literally having had her young life ripped away from her and from the other who were murdered in the holocaust it's a of the nazis murder of over 6 million jews and that should not be forgotten br br but it's sad to me that her diary is being so as anything more than that when i look for hope i have the bible the first most widely read non fiction book in the world god's words in the bible is eternal but diary is a diary of a young girl under extraordinary circumstances and that is it she is not someone to be or because she was an ordinary girl with many flaws who possessed incredible talent as a writer and who died at age 15 from in the concentration camp she was a victim of the holocaust and as this otherwise excellent documentary has so vividly she was hitler's most famous victim br br besides the anne story the stories from her family members and friends and survivors of the holocaust were engrossing vivid and powerful i especially enjoyed and marvel that she is still strong and alive today hannah was also very interesting and i also liked hearing from otto frank but i also agree that the moving picture of the young girl with the dark hair and the familiar big eyes at the end was particularly memorable br br another thing about the holocaust that i kind of disagree with the documentary is that i don't believe it was just a matter of but rather something deeper and more profound and that was just an act of pure evil pure evil nothing else but pure evil br br excellent documentary of anne frank and of the holocaust that should be watched,positive +the series is an always will be the best vampire movies ever there is something about them that makes them special i think it s the feeling you get when you watch them br br they are set in modern times and yet they feel as if they are set in the s or s i think it has some thing to do with the set s that are used if so then it s working keep it up guy s br br in a quick round up of what s happened in the first part was supposedly from his home land years ago by his father and he has decided to come back and take what he thinks is his birth the blood stone and all his father has so he kill s his father who is played by the tall man from the phantasm movies and takes the blood stone which has power to who ever has it because who has it need never anyone again because the stone is supposedly meant to the bloody of the saints and every time the takes a drop from it he is slowly going insane thats all we need an insane vampire as if a normal vampire bad enough well s brother try s to put a stop to his evil ways all while trying to stop himself falling with a tourist who is staying at a house which belongs to a friend of his br br well one thing leads to another and the two brothers clash and well you will have to see the movie to see what goes on from here on in br br i will review comment on the other sequels soon br br the difference between this and buffy is buffy is too commercial and this is not so this will not appeal to everyone but this has an atmosphere far superior to that of buffy although does not look as good as the wonder full sarah michelle br br rating for this movie 10 10 a fine example of how a vampire movie should be done br br,positive +howard kevin kline teaches english at the high school in a small indiana city he is finally getting married to emily joan cusack much to his parents delight the town is too because one of its own cameron matt dillon has been nominated for an acting oscar everyone including howard and emily is watching the academy awards on television as cameron is the winner in his acceptance speech cameron that he was able to fulfill his role as a gay military man in part because of lessons he learned from a gay teacher he had in high school you guessed it its howard but howard has never come out in fact he believes he is straight with the whole town and members of the media waiting and the happenings will howard and emily go ahead and get married or is howard truly gay and realize he can not go through with the ceremony this is a wonderful funny and film about a gay man and his situation as the man who did not realize he was gay kline is excellent and touching the rest of the cast is equally fine with cusack a as the mixed up fiancé and dillon bob debbie reynolds tom and others on hand to delight the audience as well the costumes are very nice and the setting in the lovely indiana is beautiful then too the script the direction and the production are very very nice but the insightful humorous and the thoughtful look at the gay population is the film's best asset no doubt for those who would be offended by a gay themed film yes just skip over this one but for everyone who wants to laugh and gain a better understanding of the gay situation at the same time this is definitely the best film out there,positive +not only unique for its time but one of the greatest science fiction films of all time made without cgi on a very lean budget in today's figures stanley kubrick made this film without the high shooting ratio he normally has stanley kubrick is without doubt the greatest director in history thus far br br this film was cut from five hours to two hours and twenty minutes and the art direction was superb br br stanley kubrick and the great c clarke to write this time less classic br br aliens a special message on earth at the dawn of human kind and one on the moon which modern man finds br br finally humans accompanied by the most advanced computer ever made set of to the find the next monumental message which turns out to be a br br any one who studied film and or wishes to be a part of the film industry or just enjoy great films must experience this film br br if you don't like it then you belong to bollywood or your a true aussie,positive +first i want to clear a common it is not unrealistic that the school goes to gives students at my school those in grade 7 and higher must have apple this is for in the entrance moving on this show is very annoying it has boring predictable plots and bad acting often in the show it brings girl power to a new high with girls beating guys in everything they try but that is not the worst the worst is that girls are nevertheless all portrayed as being focused on their personal appearances and screaming whenever they are happy except for the one smart girl who is portrayed as a freak who is obsessed with ugly boys and science however this show is very i do not know why but it is although the most recent season has been so terrible bringing the stereotypes boring plots and bad acting to extremes i never thought were so i am no longer addicted thankfully,negative +this is the fourth full length feature film by marc by the third mans empty hands i promised myself not to cut my anymore but this time round the plot is completely different a kind of homage to 1940 2001 a journalist the visuals in the trailer are stunning a river in and the promise that marc himself would be in front of the camera with his twin brother none of both professional actors convinced me at last six weeks after its release abandon yourself in this very unusual road river film learn almost nothing about but his most poignant legacy his constant fight against of what we chose to forget de look for battle of the at the was lost not once but twice because after 40 years of silence and 25 years of half hearted democracy nobody has done much to remember the legitimate side of the spanish civil war and those who fought it this film is about the lonely people the same places with very little conscience of what took place there 70 years ago this film is about the landscape,positive +i remember waiting to be born br br vision quest that was the american west br br we went to a psychic br br i'm sure their first reaction is that she's br br the place is haunted br br i think there's another dimension right here br br an artist and her husband many decades ago left the and and culture of new york and moved to a god town with a population of 10 in death valley there they a theater painting it is a very home folk art manner and once finished she putting on dancing performances for practically no one in many ways it's highly reminiscent of the film or field of dreams though is a documentary of a real person not a mythical crazy man like kinski or kevin her husband eventually leaves much of it apparently because of the lifestyle she chose so today she lives on with her ten cats and a for eventually along with her new male companion tom br br what you think about this documentary depends on your perspectives if you are into new age ideas and open to these sensibilities then you'll more likely appreciate the film her talking about how she remembers her birth ghosts vision and frankly made the psychology teacher in me cringe and this would definitely be the case for many people in addition her and trying to horses in the desert will most likely appeal to and many other animal lovers though with my background in concerns and i see the and horses as a that would destroy the native plants and animals so on two different accounts i tend to think quite the opposite of who is more of a and individual depending on how you feel about all this will definitely color your opinions and i am pretty sure most people will either think she's a genius or a nut you'll just have to guess what i think br br now despite all this the film is interesting and life is definitely not dull particularly since in recent years people have actually begun taking to the desert to see her perform there is a definite following for her and her unusual little world while i would not be nearly as positive as most reviews i also can't be as negative as the one review as there is definite merit to this odd documentary i like films about unusual people and certainly is unusual i also appreciate her love of her art and happy life that is a rare gift br br i teach psychology at an arts school and it sure would be interesting to show this to the staff where i am pretty sure we'd get a strong positive and negative reaction to the film probably depending on whether the teachers taught the arts classes or core it sure would be interesting br br by the way and i am not trying to be sarcastic but when husband was having affairs with whom did this occur after all they lived in the middle of no where and i was left wondering where he'd find partners br br by the way if you'd like to see her perform and or stay at her hotel it can be found at www com the site is in english french and german and hotel rates are pretty reasonable as are ticket,negative +after a somewhat slow start i thought this movie about the italian of a greek island during world war ii picked up and became a quite enjoyable watch for a couple of hours from primarily two points of view br br the love triangle is an interesting one and strikes me as believable because i know it happened in various places under penelope played a young greek girl engaged to be married to christian i had questions about the depth of their love from the start but their future was torn apart when italy and went off to fight after german is and the island lives on comes under italian during which meets and begins to fall in love with captain nicholas cage this of course was a dilemma that came to many young women in occupied lands as they got to know their they started to see them not as the enemy but as real people and sometimes fell in love often to the of their i just finished reading an interesting book about the german of channel islands in which this was a major issue once returns to the island is torn between them br br the second background issue is the italian itself which i thought was quite realistically portrayed first was the contempt with which the island treated their italian defeated italy quite true from a historical perspective and was really by the germans the of the town to surrender to the italians and instead to insist on to a german officer struck me as something that could well have happened and was quite funny in fact i loved the line we would rather surrender to this dog than to you italians the portrayal of the italian troops also struck me as believable the italian army was never of their german ally and never enthusiastic about fighting with them although hitler and were close friends their soldiers tended to treat each other with contempt here the italians are more interested in singing than fighting which the german troops on the island simply can't understand and are when italy makes peace and from the war until they discover that this may well make them prisoners of the germans it was all quite well done i thought br br it a bit at the end with an all too predictable finish but still deserves praise br br 7 10,positive +this is one worth watching although it is sometimes cheesy it is great to see a young sean and this ends up being quite an entertaining and humorous action movie i watched it many times when i was young and now still enjoy it when i pop the old vhs into the machine i happen to own a copy so sit back with this movie let reality go for a little while and you will be able to have a few good laughs and an enjoyable hour and a half,positive +well after seeing beginning i thought why the hell they burned version and did that poor one but now after seeing i deeply understand this decision even they got it not much better br br sorry but this movie is really crap some good moments but a really boring story telling and some major plot holes are killing this movie br br i thing the exorcist story has a lot and in a prequel on this you can built on a lot and give references the audience will like to see but there is so much little of it in the movie the effects are really bad not even tv standard,negative +after reading other reviews on this site we weren't sure if we were going to be able to critique this movie because it didn't sound bad enough however 2 minutes into the movie we knew we were in for another flop no summer is complete without ice cream but this movie served up a sour broken ice cream you know the kind that leaves you and dirty and looking for a wet the biggest problem with this movie was the plot what was it it appeared to be a psychotic ice cream man driving around the neighborhood that's it nothing else happens first of all what are the for becoming an ice cream man in this crap town 1 spend several years in the most ridiculous mental hospital known to man this hospital was plagued with fake plastic and to the head 2 have extremely poor and a mutant face to scare the kids away 3 make sure your truck is with severed body parts and don't forget the eye whites br br the actors in this movie are pure b movie caliber mixed in with a bunch of is who other than a trailer trash version of culkin even his charm couldn't save this kick in the pants there seemed to be no rhyme or reason for any of the murders in this movie the whole concept of the movie who would kill an ice cream man in a drive by shooting gangsters white who we are still struggling with this question br br whoever was in charge of the wardrobe for this movie should be immediately from hollywood did they honestly think a under a kid's shirt would make the audience believe that he was really fat did they forget about the arms face legs and all other body parts second of all this movie was made in 1995 yet the wardrobe seemed to be picked from a lame 80's movie by the big brother's white high water pants br br while we were watching this production we both developed severe cases of add we found ourselves leaving the room to walk around at many points it the movie we found that staring at a blank wall behind the t v set was more entertaining than the actual movie we were stunned that this movie didn't make it to the bottom 100 afterwards we took the tape out of the vcr and left it on the black top to melt like a sub standard ice cream,negative +this all but ignored masterpiece is about the becoming aware that they are fictional characters in a movie head and that everything they do or say had already been written in an unseen script they seem to be following head was written by jack nicholson and peter during a three day trip in a at an expensive hollywood hotel the other three only acted in it br br they fight this every way they can by doing things not in the script they deliberately their lines walk off sets tear up scenery punch other actors for no reason and ultimately commit suicide by jumping off a bridge br br for instance in the rapid flashes of a psychedelic party scene if you watch frame by frame you can see sitting next to the camera and cameraman very deliberately shooting into a mirror he is revealing that the party is actually fake and is being shot in a studio with actors who suddenly drop out of character and walk away in the middle of a conversation when the director yells cut br br the however never drop out of character because those characters are also who they really are that ends up being the core of the revelation soon to come br br at every turn they realize their increasingly bizarre actions were exactly what they were supposed to do in the scripted film they can't escape being in you say they went crazy and walked through the sky which turns out to be painted on paper and hung from the ceiling as the background no problem hey hey they're the and those wacky guys just keep around br br in the end even their deaths did not set them free that was how the movie was supposed to end and their bodies are out of the river put in another box and in a film studio warehouse until the characters are needed again for another studio production br br this is made all the more poignant by the fact that the really are fictional characters who forced themselves into the real world they did it through the power of their music br br ironically near the end peter has what he rightly sees as a hugely profound revelation that their problem but unfortunately no one br br peter realizes it doesn't matter if we're in the box the film he means that it doesn't matter if will is free or and that the only important thing is that you just let the present moment occur and occur you need to just let happen as it happens without or or judging whether the experience is valid by some abstract definition br br when you can't even tell the difference will being free or not doesn't matter to figure out if you are the real you is just a pointless waste of time br br i saw this film at a very important time in my life i was trying to figure out how to escape being just that geeky creepy nerd girl by thinking about it intensely instead of just having fun i e sex like everyone else did but the revelation in head broke my self trap and helped me more than or nicholson or will ever know br br for decades i've watched head and wished i could thank pete br br was this a good movie br br how about like br br yes,positive +there's only one thing i'm going to say about cat in the hat as a kids movie and a good comedy movie it sucks i lost track of how many terrible jokes in the movie that not only sucked but weren't exactly kid appropriate oh and by the way the way the cat in the hat talked was annoying as for the plot i completely forgot who cares it sucked anyway i'm not sure why mike myers joined but i think the writers were trying to make it sound like him in austin powers without the talk and it overly succeeded but so what it was annoying don't see it it belongs in the bottom 100 the jokes are so it's funny,negative +i went to see this because i'd never seen tel where the story is set i was disappointed since it doesn't offer many views of largest metropolis it's also of those movies that leaves you guessing at its meaning until you ultimately give up with a of the shoulders br br the main protagonist is a woman in her who works as a waitress at her parents evidently don't care about her very much and when a little girl walks out of the sea with an ring around her feels compelled to take care of her the little girl doesn't speak and can't give her to social services because it's the weekend and the agency is closed so she takes her back to her apartment with the roof and when it comes time to work in the evening she has to take the little girl with her the boss is very unhappy about this and other shortcomings in work performance br br another main character is who is getting married at her wedding party where is of course working she breaks her leg climbing out of a room whose door won't open and so she and her new husband cannot take the vacation they've planned they end up in a hotel on the without a view it bad there is noise from the traffic and is complaining all the time her husband meets a strangely attractive older woman – a writer – who is also staying in the hotel and that he has slept with this stranger br br the third main character is a woman named joy who looks after old people the old woman she is hired to care for is very and speaks no english only german and joy speaks english but no or german joy is mostly concerned with how her son is doing back in the and wants to buy him a toy boat as he has asked she finds the perfect boat in a store and plans to buy it the daughter of the old woman who hired joy is an actress appearing in some sort of post modern physical theater adaptation of hamlet and does not get along with her mother br br the way in which these three themselves is presumably supposed to mean something profound i didn't get it there is a fantasy element to relationship with the little girl and maybe non existent relationship with her parents is somehow in this relationship when joy sees the toy boat in the shop window there is a strange effect used where the little as if blown by the wind and they do this as if they are on the scale of a real life ship draws the outline of a bottle around a ship that is on a cover in the hotel room and a narration of the strange woman's poetry mentions a ship in a bottle but what does all this mean i thought about it for a while and realized i wasn't going to lose any sleep in the process if anyone out there has a clear idea of what it's all about maybe they can fill me in,negative +this movie was obviously made with a very low budget but did they have to make it so obvious it looked like they made no effort to make the future look in the least futuristic for example the first scene takes place in an 80's office building and all the cars that get blown up are from the late 70's i assume they didn't want to blow up cars that cost more than 500 additionally its pretty obvious that don the dragon is driving his personal car during the movie after all he did partially the film finally they point out at the beginning of the film that all kinds of drugs are now legal in this new society not only does this never become important in the film but later when don needs surgery without why doesn't he just go out and get some legal heroin or the whole movie is sloppy like this and completely since don easily blows up an about 25 minutes into the movie however if you find this movie cheap or free i'd watch it the last scene is almost worth putting up with this whole film,negative +did a great job nice concept well executed and tightly produced came across as a very sincere story as a fan of your enthusiasm where jeff was pretty much the straight guy role i was delighted with how much depth he brought to this role in a simple yet effective portrayal br br much of the humor was understated and subtle and drew on which i really liked rather than being slapstick or over explained and there were some nice little surprises and twists the store vignettes were a delight br br when i say it is a wonderful small film i don't mean budget or quality it is simple intimate and hand crafted it tells a highly believable everyday story relax and go see it let it wash over you and you will feel good for having done so,positive +the movie of based on the book by joseph conrad is one with little to no detail and has an almost like plot line if you have read the book then you know that little to none of the important story making scenes were put into the movie in the book there is so much that is left up to the imagination and i feel that that is one of the part that make the book what is it an example would be when spent timeless hours and days even months waiting for and that entire scene was left out of the movie again if you have read the book then you would know that this scene in the book is one that almost describes the main theme of best finally i feel that the movie was too cut and dry not enough though was put in to the original text and how that made the story what it is today br br if you have not read the book of preferably the norton critical edition then don't your time in renting or buying the movie however if you have read the book then i think that you will appreciate the book a lot more if you decide to watch the movie br br eric 2007,negative +this movie is awful i can't even be bothered to write a review on this garbage all i will say it is one of the most boring films i've ever seen br br and the acting is very bad the boy who plays the main character really me he's got the same expression on his face through out the movie i just want to slap him basically 80 of the movie is slow motion shots of weird music and utter sh t br br apparently i've got to write at least 10 lines of text to submit this comment so i'll use up a few more lines by saying the lead character has got one of those faces you just want to slap br br i give up this movie sucks,negative +perhaps the in alfred hitchcock's career is this straight out comedy vehicle by the director pairing carole lombard with robert as a couple who discover a mistake has their marriage where do they really stand with each other br br contrary to what others say there is an element of suspense here the idea that these two miserable people might escape each other free to their awfulness on some other mate br br it's funny reading comments here about how miserable ann smith plays out in this film because role is as much of a he ann at witnesses short just the kind of lawyer who gives his profession a bad name ann is overbearing too of course the kind of wife who holds her husband hostage from work for six days over a petty bringing up things like what he did in paris when he was 20 and hadn't even met her yet i you that she says as if it was big of her br br for david a marriage is an opportunity to have a little pleasure with his mistress before the for good for ann it's an attempt at sex that must be with a bottle of to the head followed by from their apartment and her life br br the doesn't seem to fall far from the tree as mother is into when she learns what david tried to pull oh my poor baby thank heaven your father is dead br br that's a rare good line in this unlikeable comedy br br you can call this an example of the comedy in which the bonds of are challenged in order to be you can also call this an example of what roger ebert calls the idiot plot in which the storyline depends on the main characters acting like idiots hitchcock seems to have a laugh at uptight american morality but can't really do much more with it than a scene where an older couple is by the sound of loud br br lombard died within a year of this film's release it was the last film of hers she lived to see what a shame it couldn't have been something better she was overbearing in my man too but in such a likable way you didn't just have to go with her you wanted to here she plays for laughs that aren't there while breaking david's chops again and again rolls his eyes a lot like a study in br br the only really decent thing in this movie that lasts more than a few seconds is gene raymond as david's law partner jeff who makes a play for ann and acts with honor and decency raymond his many reaction shots and even a drunk scene all to good effect br br spoiler so decent a guy is jeff that ann ends up him for not fighting david after she him into a confrontation calling a of jeff the scene leaving ann and david together for their future murder suicide here's one that managed to escape a massacre spoiler end,negative +this really is a movie that you need to see twice when i first saw this film i was really drawn into the story while the majority of the story takes place inside of a hotel room the stories that buddy nick drake wonderful and daphne share take you outside of their room and into their world through their conversations you get a feel for the loneliness and pain that each feels the soundtrack the movie perfectly dark lo fi and intriguing when you see the film the second time around you can pick up all of the clues that you missed the first time around leading up to one of the best ending i have seen in a long time i hope to see this movie find a for the dvd so that it will be more accessible great movie you won't be disappointed,positive +i was very concerned about this film it was to play at a jewish film festival and was reported to be very hostile to israel while using clever humor and irony br br i was that the film was not a however as a work of film it was deeply disappointing the film was full of random events some of which eventually connected most of which did not some of the events were very clever and funny but some were merely random and pointless br br there are repeated scenes between two lovers where they sit in a car and play some game perhaps in some cultures this is erotic but it's like watching thumb wrestling after the third time it really became tiresome br br i have always found david lynch to be bizarre using strange stories and images to cause audiences to think that he is so sophisticated that they don't grasp his work in fact there is nothing to grasp the same is true here the stories do not add up to anything and there is not much of a political point being made in one scene a israeli soldier palestinian drivers at a that's news br br i don't understand why this film has garnered controversy nor why it has garnered attention it is an inferior work and seeing it was a waste of time,negative +i like the concept of but the show is spoiled by some seriously wooden acting the medical has the best lines and delivers them in an arch manner that up the story unfortunately he has little screen time br br also why does fox always look and act so utterly unhappy i know that investigation is a very serious business but the characters for the most part seem to confuse seriousness with and a complete lack of personality i can't imagine dating either sarah or catherine what would you talk to either one about i'm waiting for the episode when at the end of a shift catherine picks up a remote control points it at him down and him into a closet until the next day,negative +have just got back from seeing this brilliantly funny film br br granted part of the reason i loved it so was because i could point out people and places i knew 'i walk there everyday ' 'i work there ' had drinks there ' that's our ' etc but still if you're out for a with a bit of spice excuse the pun this is just the right answer relationships culture and most importantly love are all woven together within the plot br br with preston where the film is set recently being made a city it is good to see this work featuring the place and adding to the feeling of it is also a brilliant representative of the many cultures in this part of the north br br fabulous,positive +contains 1 spoiler market with br br not presenting itself as yet another remake of the interview five fingers actually is alas besides maybe the of physical torture it never adds anything to it's accomplishment in terms of suspense plot or performances in fact five fingers never gets anywhere near its level br br what i found to be in particular painful to watch wasn't the torture itself but the way ryan acted out his ordeal to me it looked as if tried too hard to get his accent right and it made his performance amateur which in turn even dragged down the performance of an otherwise great accent btw being far from anything near dutch sounded more like eastern european br br besides the acting of which to my surprise turned from poor to actually decent towards the end there is the matter of the flashbacks with the hackneyed dutch scenery if these scenes were set in switzerland they would have had the cast eat cheese on with endless with wearing expensive scenery aside the way these flashbacks pushed the plot didn't work for me at all it made it being served like french at a drive in and caused the build up of suspense to br br admittedly the movie did become more enjoyable as acting improved but i couldn't help being annoyed every now and then with scenes that were just too implausible e g br br start spoiler br br at some point after days is almost washed by the female terrorist this only to be followed by the of yet another finger why give the guy a wash if he's in for a torture and the of that last finger seemed to only serve the title of this flick anyway i mean he was practically begging to have it off didn't make br br end spoiler br br what ultimately kept me watching was the performance of who once again proved to be a brilliant actor but who also had the best part of the script to work with br br all in all one is just far better off seeing the interview with that other matrix icon hugo and when you do i'm confident you won't find this review that br br 3 5 10 br br the interview 1998 www imdb com title,negative +this is one of the rare movies that i did not immediately discuss with my friends after watching it this wasn't because it had particularly or impressed me the contrary it had given me nothing at all br br why because somehow everything was so much overdone that i couldn't take this film seriously anymore there was so much sex and violence that i got the strong impression that the film was trying very very hard to be offensive as if it was aiming at in rather than in telling a convincing tale about two women caught in a spiral of crime br br had been described as thelma louise with actual sex to me well it is true that the main idea is similar there are two women traveling through the country because they've committed crimes and know that their lives are finished now that the police are going to catch them and they decide that now that over anyway there is no way to hold back br br had been described as a feminist film where women who had suffered from male in the past exact revenge upon the men that they encounter br br this is something that i had never interpreted into this film simply because none of these women had ever been innocent and because they do not just kill irresponsible violent men but also men that they seduce themselves men that show the sense of wanting to do sex and they kill women no they are in no way better than the characters that they encounter and murder in hideous brutal ways br br how easily the decide to murder and how much pleasure they take in it made it absolutely impossible for me to relate to them in any way or even take them seriously it was just all too much too much sex too much violence i got the feeling that sex and violence were only there in order to create a in rather than in conveying a story or making a point br br left me with no impression hadn't set me thinking because it was so far removed from any real world so constructed unrealistic and over the top br br there was nothing that i could do with this film there was simply nothing about it to think about other than why did they make this terrible film had the intense going on in this film served a purpose i'd easily accepted it but since i found nothing since the film's story appeared to be not more than an excuse to squeeze as much and as ugly sex as possible into one film i it away under unnecessary torture decided to never ever ever watch this film again and i now consider this to be the worst film i've ever seen br br worst not just because it really isn't my cup of tea to watch people get raped rape have sex in other forms and kill one another but because whatever it was that the makers wanted to tell the world with their film if they wanted to say anything at all it just didn't work and there's nothing else that could save this film because it's also filmed in such an ugly style,negative +a teen aged girl gets the horse of her dreams and is trained by an ex to participate in grand national a fine adaptation of the classic children's book with an excellent start making performance by taylor as the energetic but polite rooney is ok as her although he has some overly melodramatic moments crisp and are quite good as loving parents filmed in technicolor it looks beautiful the problems are that there are corny elements nothing very interesting happens and it drags on a bit too long the race is exciting but could have been much more so,positive +despite its the most interesting things about this series are not the or which while charming are little more than at least in the story i saw a story short in fact though i am to admit it the chief pleasure lies in that most ancient art storytelling br br john hurt in mode grotesque medieval make up relates a story about story telling by the fire accompanied by a cynical dog one day starving and poor he spots a fellow thrown out of the royal kitchen by the nasty cook the story tricks this latter into giving them an excellent soup furious the cook with the king for to the villain but pleased with the story wit the offers him a for 100 nights he must tell the king a new story if he fails to do so he will hand him over to the cook br br the story may be old but it's told with great gusto anthony script is excellently dramatic as a playwright witty and with some disturbing concerns beneath the fun such as fears for the self or the self power of storytelling linked to the of power for a programme aimed at children it is self with little nonsense about film being the new culture despite the style there is a charming sense of medieval its and terror as well as its magic and power,positive +this movie is basically a spoof on hitchcock's strangers on a train which i thought was overrated anyway the plot has danny going to see strangers and then thinking billy crystal wants them to murders for crystal to murder his mother and to murder his wife both and crystal are great and so is mother this is directorial debut and it's better than the war of the,positive +i absolutely love this film and have seen it many times i taped it in about 1987 when it was shown on channel four but my tape is severely worn now and i would love a new copy of it i have e film four to ask them to show it again as it has never been available on video and as far as i know hasn't been repeated since the 80's i have had no and it still hasn't been repeated the performances are superb the film has everything its funny sad disturbing exciting and totally takes you back to school days it is extremely well paced and grips you from start to end the scene in the shower room is particularly horrific i also cannot hear the song by cream and not think of this film this film deserves to be seen by a much larger audience as it is superb channel four please show again or release on video or dvd,positive +odd but wonderfully original movie genuinely frightening creepy and ridiculous in equal the setting of a high rise red brick apartment is a perfect backdrop for the haunting action the thought of a secret sealed room in a place like this is good enough but when the lead naive couple start cleaning up the old bed they find in this room the scene is set for some classic chills the cast is fantastic really gets to chew some scenery after being in other full moon films joe proves why brother martin sheen is so much bigger in hollywood his rolling eyes during the making the bed scene are really hilarious charles band co produced with stuart gordon and this really is an exceptional full moon release danny also directed hell asylum with,positive +i remember seeing a clip of this movie on hbo when i was a kid and it scared the ever living crap out of me when i found it i watched it i wish i hadn't the movie wasn't scary br br the plot revolves around an old woman running the castle she this horribly person in the of a 12 century castle she continuously beats the poor guy every day and him well that day she dies then a few months later a family moves in a father a mother and their blind daughter the father was involved in a horrific car accident that got their son killed and left their daughter blind br br later through the film the daughter hears sounds things break etc and everybody is not concerned about anything at all that is until a few people turn up dead apparently the creature in the has broken free and is killing people how this thing survived for the past few months without food or water is impossible every time i saw the creature it gave me the creeps the creature goes on a gory killing spree and the police blame the father for the deaths br br it was a pretty bad film br br i give this film 3 stars out of 10 creepy not scary,negative +is an interesting film i personally love the dogma movement i wish it had lasted longer it seems to have already died many critics tried their to shut it down i don't know why it's the most interesting movement to happen in the cinematic world since the french new wave besides i've seen the first three in the series and they were all great being a masterpiece in my opinion isn't up to those others i was just fascinated with the filmmaking it's played as if it were a real documentary with a real person who was so obsessed with his camera that he refused to put it down at a few points in the film it becomes clear that it is a work of complete fiction but that illusion was for an amazing amount of time i wish that the filmmakers would have come up with something a bit more interesting to put it is basically about this guy who is an visiting the islands were only in the last couple of months allowed onto the islands and plans to the women with children he sets his eyes on one and most of the movie is spent on her seduction the two actors are very natural only kind of hints that she is an actress seems completely real the politics of the film are somewhat confusing to me since i have only an of the situation surrounding the island and its recent history i was 3 i think when the were the final bit of the film doesn't work at all i don't get what the filmmakers were going for there still is an interesting dogma experiment it does break some dogma rules though notably the no extra music rule there is a lot of that 7 10,positive +dennis hopper must've been really hungry to do this movie atrocious special effects very poor writing cheesy dialogue stupid looking killer bio robots never mind the disregard for science the awkward scene with the 2 young leads taking their clothes off the best part of this movie was the pull start penis on the out cyborg pirate captain 2 out of 10 stars because i'm in a generous mood,negative +the movie isn't too bad up until br br the main problem is with the ending so it's a pretty major spoiler br br for the time it was made it's a beautiful movie and does get a lot of it right br br however br br in the book sam succeeds and lives his dream whereas in the movie he gives up and goes back to the city completely destroying the you can do what you put your mind to theme of the book br br this movie is a and instead of classics that don't need the hollywood types who haven't any better ideas should do this one right this time,negative +wow stella shorts are great lots of from the state and stella the tv show i never knew that stella could have gotten any better then they were on the tv show stella or even comedy central presents stella i also never knew short comedies could be any good my favorite ones were pizza leaves the woods and david to a meeting with his long lost cousin greg i think over all that david was the funniest one its funny when he doesn't make sense i like the music in the shorts thats something i pay attention to a lot they always had good taste in music i wish they still made shorts either that or bring back there sitcom i hope they continue making good and funny comedy,positive +i am at the major comments here for this ok surf film it really from the california school of to beach antics and isn't really plausible the idea that the lead kid learn to ride a board so well in a wave pool that he beats the real surfers at their game in the real ocean is just plain silly in australia where most urban teens do surf this film was laughed at audiences took it all with a grain of sea salt made in the 80s but with its heart in the 60s it is fun to watch and looks and sounds good but it is not a in a classic class at all even the actors didn't this we're seriously in bridge or ride the wild surf or beach land here oz stars like and big hero lopez are in to add head recognition to our farm boy's wave but it only made the crowd in the cinema it is for 10 years olds who do not question much it's not even in gods hands and that was silly too,negative +i saw this at the san francisco independent film festival and liked it a lot it worked for me as a slightly weird comedy because i don't like horror but there were only a couple of minutes i had to close my eyes br br the dialog was good the costumes and settings were not far off bbc quality which is amazing for an indie film i liked the way the plot twists and even it kept surprising me in good ways i even up to the willy character who i quite disliked at the beginning it would have been better if been any motivation for the woman to be so interested in going to the island that felt very much like a plot device br br i am fond of dominic and he did a good job at horror and at the more thoughtful moments nice voice in the narration too br br this would be a fun and unusual date movie,positive +only connery could bring that particular style with a line like crashes into arms when she water up to the super agent in and how reckless of me i made you all wet ' the super agent replies but my is still dry ' br br barbara makes a great villain stealing the show as is

considerable amount of money for a tango dance thrown into a medieval don't miss this second of only two james bond,positive +i found this film completely and utterly incomprehensible i knew some of he facts about but here they were twisted and puzzling the images were interesting but i was looking more for a and or critical of life and works not an type drug trip the dialogue was very confusing and jumping back and forth in time via the use of trains and was extremely distracting had it been an artsy film i wouldn't have purchased the dvd now i have a dvd that i'll never watch again and who would buy it i prefer mainstream films not those that require translation or thumbs down on this one for me,negative +i collect films on super 8 and managed to a full length print of this one last week on e bay it looks like at least for the moment this is the only way to see this film in a country having video i have seen it available on region 2 dvd many times but never region 1 br br i just finished watching it a few minutes ago and i am amazed by it it's a powerful testament to freedom and finding your own place in the world the photography and music were wonderful and i really felt empathy for some of the characters br br i kind of like the idea that i was probably the only one in the usa watching when the north wind blows tonight br br long live,positive +i own a video store with hundreds of documentaries i have seen loads of them and love all of the great info out there only a small handful though even come close to offering info as important as this one i have been reading through other peoples reviews of this film and can't help but notice that the main things people are are irrelevant such as it is very one sided such a pathetic criticism every where in society that you look you will see the other side and if you still need help go to com it is the same people over and over uh one might be led to believe that these people are the experts so maybe they are the best people to interview filming style is all the same head shots with few exceptions if you want flash and watch micheal moore if you want info watch real such as this one as you can see none of these complaints have any relevance to the information contained my guess is that these people are just missing the point and don't wanna give up there br br my recommendation watch it learn from it and continue your education about such subjects it is very important stuff for everyone,positive +this movie is george c scott at his very best bernard hughes at his very best and diana at her most and of course writing at masterpiece there are also very brief snippets of future like susan sarandon etc who have one scene lines that you don't necessarily spot until your fifth or sixth time watching nancy as a young to middle age nurse is also superb as well as practically every face in hollywood of 1970 br br it is one of the few movies that gets better the more times you see it watch for the surprise scene ala wait until dark this is one of the few movies i have ever bought on dvd it is that superb,positive +wow this movie sucked br br this movie was a embarrassment to the original br br everything about this movie was awful br br the acting was horrendous every part except the part of the manager was terrible br br luke perry though only bit parts was absolutely awful this was is worst role ever even the kid actor playing him as a kid was someone you'd want to punch even in the end lol br br this movie reminded me of those kid movies that go that extra mile making a part goofy way beyond the funny stage the humor was for 6 year olds br br if your over 12 and want something worthwhile to watch skip this movie and watch a sitcom instead,negative +a great performance by emily grace i stumbled upon this movie while my satellite and was curious by the summary of the plot giving by my satellite service i was high entertained and had much compassion for the character alice played by emily grace the story had me guessing in what would happen to alice and was not the overall story was refreshing and had some great twists to the supporting characters the ending of the story ended on a rather fair way i will purchase this dvd to add to my library i am a new fan of emily grace and i high in seeing more from her performances,positive +some of the reviewers of this film were extremely generous with praise i personally was disappointed because due to those reviews i was optimistic as the opening credits began to roll br br the all too familiar story line goes like this boy and his father live out in swamp local boys and torment him local boys start oh sorry i mean victor cabin on fire with him in it dad attempts to rescue his son known as eddie meets the elephant man but accidentally puts a through the kid's head instead victor becomes a murderous ghost who down who enter his scary br br one thing i appreciated about was that it never took itself seriously and some of the gags even made me laugh the thing is i've grown tired of the hollywood polished b horror slap sticks i like to laugh and i enjoy a good scare but this film didn't deliver a solid dose of either as for being the next michael jason or freddy has a better chance,negative +as a fan of old warner brothers gangster movies i had to check this out its the 2nd best movie in the adventure classics dvd set that also had one of my favorite movies scott of the on it this was made in 1939 a good year for a lot of warner brothers movies it boasts a great cast john garfield claude ann sheridan and the dead end kids who would be later known as the boys at pictures well a boxer garfield gets framed for a murder he commit and is on the run and being by a tough new york detective claude he ends up at a fruit picking place run by a pretty woman gloria and the dead end kids hall leo billy bobby jordan he later returns to boxing but tries to keep a low profile this was directed by famed director busby who directed timeless classics like street of 1933 and 35 parade and many others i would like to give a shout out to dvd video for putting out a lot of good budget dvd's like adventure classics see my scott of the review i give they made me a criminal 10 out of 10 great movie ill have to point out that i have only seen 2 john garfield movies this one and body and soul i thought he was a very good actor,positive +i'm a huge fan of the spy genre and this is one of the best of these films the assignment is based on a true story which has been somewhat for the big screen and it really takes you on a fun ride the film has a great cast starring quinn donald sutherland and ben kingsley br br naval officer quinn is a reluctantly by sutherland after a chance meeting with kingsley who believes quinn to be the famous terrorist carlos the because quinn so closely resembles carlos sutherland stops at nothing to him because sutherland is obsessed with the capture or death br br the training sequences are awesome quinn is really put to the test by kingsley and sutherland having to attacks from remote controlled from eating the same food each day to being drugged with a he even has to learn how to make love to a woman the way carlos would br br the film has some great action scenes with quinn allies because they believe he is carlos and in his final mission when he is to kill the throughout the film quinn must struggle with the new personality he has versus his own will he remain as ruthless and free as carlos or will he once again return to his life of a good husband and father br br if you like the spy genre this is a must see the action is used only to the story of this thriller forward no gratuitous explosions or fight scenes rating 10 of 10 stars,positive +i cry at a lot of movies call me sentimental call me one of those viewers who always likes to see a happy ending this movie though it has a sad ending was great of all of the actors that i would love to have lunch with it would be sidney his acting along with john cassavetes and jack warden of 12 angry men fame is stellar his character who befriends a man on the run cassavetes and helps him out in every way possible is incredible br br this is another one of those forgotten made during the end of the era it is well done has a superb cast extremely talented acting and great cinematography it is a film worth watching over and over again i highly recommend this one this is just another truly great film done by mr and should be sold on dvd even though i cried kudos to such great art,positive +starts months on the submarine the ss where genetic experiments have gone awry the crew member are brutally slaughtered by large killer jump to a couple of months later where general james lieutenant williams john miranda on his mission to board the assist genetic scientist dr ryan michelle meadows before anyone knows it a group of corporate scientists marines are on board the are shocked to discover he corpses of the crew apart from dr mike thompson clark who doesn't make much sense it's not long before the attack first to fall is lt williams so sergeant sam christopher is promoted takes the responsibility to get everyone to safety end the menace of the giant forever br br this america co production was directed by martin he also handled the cinematography i thought this was a strictly by the numbers uninspiring creature feature it's early into the new year is the first giant mutated monster creature type film i've seen in 2007 hopefully things can only get better the script by is incredibly clichéd gets all of it's ideas from other films most notably aliens 1986 lets see there's the isolated location in this case being a submarine there's the assembled team of marines including one who on a throughout the entire film there's the scientists including a blonde one to try explain it all the evil money grabbing corporate villain who puts the mighty dollar above human life the final being the monster alien or whatever in this case there's loads of large running around but they're not in any sort of unique or imaginative way so they might as well have been killer yeah it's all here unfortunately isn't an aliens if you get what i mean it's a touch long at over 100 minutes it's predictable although it moves along at a reasonable pace as a dumb creature feature you could do worse despite what many say on the imdb br br director doesn't himself it's not scary there's a lack of atmosphere the action scenes are dull there's not many attacks it's almost an hour before any significant action occurs the special effects are at the bottom end of the scale but i have seen worse that's for sure i mean that's not to say the effects in are good but i've seen worse there isn't much blood or gore there's some bodies some decapitated heads someone is ripped in half the only clever amusing moment in the entire film is when the naked female scientist her lover to turn her on by talking about all the money their going to make from the however there was a moment which had me my hair out in it's stupidity as a bloke tries to the get the lights working by hitting the power supply computer boards with a hammer it works as well br br technically is average at best there's the usual endless amount of dark corridors which gets monotonous was shot in in if your interested the acting was poor there's nothing else to say br br isn't a great film it isn't a great horror film either i can't recommend it at all but i've seen worse if you liked unlikely you might like the similarly themed on the films tail 2001 or 2006 just as unlikely,negative +i know that so many reviews on imdb are extreme with reviewers either a film to the or it to pieces i find neither of these kind of reviews helpful and so i do not give this film the awful review i am about to lightly the film is art house science fiction of the worst kind dressed up as a hollywood blockbuster the trailers draw you in by showing you what appears to be a cohesive plot but is actually just a tiny part of a series of events which are never properly resolved i like films which challenge the viewer and i do not need to be fed a plot and so my complaint against this film is not that it is too no the film is just terrible as the credits roll you will feel genuine anger at having wasted your time on cameron wooden acting and a plot line avoid,negative +hello all for what it's worth i'm in a program on politics and returned this after about a year's most of it in br br i'm a big movie fan generally so i went out as often as i could and bought tons of local while i was there this one i saw in the theater since it opened while i was there and thankfully closed soon after br br who was the intended audience for this film the spoiled wives and daughters of the super elite whose antics are and the vast majority of who could never afford even a single dish let alone a full meal in the film's central restaurant location or gay males whose dilemma in the country's muslim dominated society is reduced to simplistic how to respect yourself preaching br br if all this wasn't bad enough the soundtrack was either recorded or mixed so that even native speaking couldn't hear many of the lines br br in brief if you're looking for a cutting edge gay themed film from a region of the world that seems among the least likely to produce such an animal forget it from the early '80s or my beautiful from the same era succeed far better in putting a happier face on dealing with and do so by showing not telling through scenes br br overall an unfortunate waste of money in a country that still can't all of its children nor keep them healthy,negative +once again bugs bunny sacred home is by people this time the traveling circus put a cage right over the hole so bug's has to come out of the hole and face that's the name of the lion which he does in his usual hilarious style after a slow and rocky beginning to the it keeps getting better and better and winds up being quite hilarious the lion turns out to be a pretty good foil for bugs and that turns this short into a highly memorable one if still of a classic this animated short can be found on 1 of the looney tunes golden collection volume 3 br br my grade a,positive +spoilers well made and interesting film about the youth of america back in the 1950's back in those days many parents caught up with making big bucks and living high on the forget that their children especially teen needed a lot more then a car and and in order to feel part of the family they also needed love and attention to their growing up problems which is what 16 year old hal james macarthur never got from his successful movie producer dad mr tom james br br never really connecting with his dad hal grows more and more distant from both him and his caring mom helen kim hunter as well as from society after his dad put hal down about him wanting to borrow his car a late model luxury he and his friend jerry silver drive in beat up and 1930's to the local to catch the latest western flick br br feeling like striking out at the world hal acts like a real first class jerk sticking his feet almost into the faces of a couple eddie jean corbett sitting in front of him and jerry trying to watch the movie this leads hal as well as his friend jerry to not only be kicked out of the theater but with him the theater manager mr it turned out that at least hal was willing to leave the theater without even getting his money back but when tries to grab him hal around and him right in the br br hal now in real hot water he's charged with assault and on his james dean act at the local police station making like he's either too cool or just plain stupid to realize what he's done almost knocked mr teeth out it's when sgt james tells hal that his dad is coming to pick him up when he finally up to the fact of what he's done br br the rest of the film has hal try to himself out but is unable to do that because the low that his dad has of him begging his father to understand that what he did in mr was in self defense father acts as if he's been there at the theater and saw the whole incident with his son hal acting like a street thug instead of of a young man being grabbed and pushed without br br not what hal did in laying out mr he in fact was willing to admit his behavior but he wanted both mr and his dad to at least treat him with an of consideration in the fact that he hal and mr in not even bothering to hear him out feeling like a wanted criminal without anyone but his mom to really turn too hal slowly loses it only to later have both sgt and mr agree to drop the assault charge you would think that by now has finally learned his lesson but the real lesson more then a stretch behind bars that so desperately needed was a lesson that his father totally ignored being there when his son needed him most and in that mr failed with flying colors br br things do in fact out for everyone in the movie only after mr gets ending up with a of a again by hal who going back to theater tries to get him to phone his dad and tell him that hal was only defending himself when he first not the second time around him in the end hal learned a real lesson in getting along with people an not letting his problems become other peoples problems but most of all father mr learned the most valuable lesson of all in how to understand his frustrated and son and act like a father toward him instead of a combination jail keeper and a sugar daddy like the song says all you need s love to get things on the right track and it was both love and understanding for his son hal that mr until the very end of the movie lacked the most off,positive +admittedly there are some scenes in this movie that seem a little unrealistic the ravishing woman first and then only a few minutes later she starts kissing the young while the old guy is right next to her but as the film goes along we learn that she is a little girl or slut and that partly explains her behavior the cinematography of this movie is well done we get to see the elevator from almost every angle and perspective and some of those images and scenes really raise the tension george plays his character well a wannabe hot shot getting old and being by young men like the character who i admired in hitchcock's the torn curtain delivers a great performance that although he doesn't say much he is by far the best actor in this play one critic complained about how unrealistic the film was and that in a real case of nothing would really happen but then again how realistic are films such as mission impossible or phone booth given the fact that we are talking about a movie here and that in a movie you always have to deal with some scenes that aren't very likely to occur in real life you can still enjoy this movie it's a lot better than many things that i see on german tv these days and i think that the vintage 80's style added something to this film,positive +i watched this movie with big expectations the on the back that this was going to be a nasty one but it was pretty tame and a little unsatisfying the violence was nothing i haven't seen a thousand times before the gore level was only average mind you there was probably more than what has been seen in hollywood in the last 5 years perhaps more and at no stage was i even feeling uneasy let along frightened again a cat 3 movie with big has not lived up to its hype br br sure hire this movie but don't go in with any expectations i am so keen to get into the whole asian horror scene but am continuously disappointed i did love and audition but then again miike stands alone at the moment br br please inspire me there is a large of jaded genre fans who are of quality horror,negative +where to start where to start hmmm well how about some of the most unnatural unbelievable and up performances one can imagine how about stereotypical characters situations and locations or what about a manipulative utterly wretched script i can't think of one element in this movie that was original worthy of watching or interesting br br note to all you josh chris fans enjoy their collective fifteen minutes folks because they're not going to be famous much longer,negative +this short which won an oscar two sequels and a tv cartoon show has minimal animation but script by theodore aka dr seuss and more memorable and enchanting main character a style of animation that even influenced disney during the mid 1950s and produced some of the best animated shorts done in the late 1940s and the 1950s this is on of their finest god to have it in print highly recommended,positive +although little more than a pleasant 11 minute musical it's rightly billed as a musical every sunday is one of the most famous and precious documents in cinematic history since it provides an look at the talents of two of the most talented and beloved musical performers deanna durbin and judy garland br br although often as an screen test of sorts produced by mgm to test the adolescent appeal of studio durbin and garland whose were reportedly coming up for this is not entirely accurate by the time every sunday was produced in july 1936 deanna contract with mgm had already and she had been immediately signed by universal a month earlier in june 1936 br br however a in mgm contract the studio to exercise an option on her services for up to sixty days providing she had not yet begun work on a picture at her new studio as debut vehicle three smart girls was still not ready to begin filming mgm chose to exercise its' option and although officially under contract to universal at the time durbin found herself back on the mgm lot filming this short subject with fellow adolescent singing hopeful judy garland br br this along with far more extensive prior professional performing experience training which included appearances in several earlier movie shorts may explain why every sunday often seems to favor judy garland over deanna durbin giving garland more lines to speak and an original song to sing while durbin offers the popular classical art song by certainly it would make perfect sense that mgm would want to favor one of its' own contract players over another from a rival studio br br ironically although character is the more overtly pro active one of the two girls in this short it would be and little miss screen persona at universal which would her to worldwide super stardom as the world's first teen idol with her debut vehicle three smart girls while more passive adolescent image would see her generally cast in supporting roles opposite frequent screen partner mickey rooney and in girl the up and coming turner not until her mgm feature for me and my gal which was also her first fully adult role would garland achieve the solo above the title billing and solo attraction status of a true superstar that durbin had six years earlier br br it is entirely inaccurate therefore to that garland was the only superstar attraction of the two girls as durbin this status with press public almost a decade before her mgm rival literally in at the time of her the on screen evidence strongly suggests that universal was much to realize full superstar potential than mgm was with judy and it's worth noting that almost every notable accomplishment garland achieved at mgm from superstar billing to having starring vehicles specially written to showcase her talents and appeal to being invited to plant her in the of chinese theater to receiving an oscar in recognition for her talent deanna durbin received well before her gifted mgm contemporary br br in any case every sunday is a delightful utterly musical short its plot line durbin and garland use their singing talents to save grandfather from being retired by the town from his sunday in the park the plot lines of both let's put on a show musicals with mickey rooney and 100 men and a girl unlike later babes films the short never treats the storyline seriously and consequently its' eleven minute running time flies by br br of course the true magic of every sunday is in the already remarkable performing talents screen of durbin and garland at the very beginning of their legendary careers both girls even at this early stage possessed remarkable screen and are utterly natural and in their presentation as both singers and actresses garland fairly explodes off the screen with as she literally punches out the lyrics to the as she across the number with appropriate hand gestures judy literally seems to be chewing on the words of the song as she up her mouth and bugs out her eyes in her intense to show what she can do br br by contrast presentation of is far more and subdued although entirely appropriate for her classical selection delivery of is much more of the traditional stand sing variety than physically turn nevertheless though deanna does nothing to call attention to herself with her eyes dazzling smile and delivery she easily holds the screen with jazz baby judy and their delightful of in the finale makes one regret all the more that producer joe was never able to realize his dream of pairing durbin and garland in a musical feature film because universal refused to number one asset durbin out br br a priceless document of the talents of two remarkable and utterly unique talents see this one if you get a chance,positive +a clever and bizarre angle to beauty is in the eye of the at times you think this is campy and over the top but the underlying poetic soul comes across strong and believable thanks to the performances of the two leads one worth tracking down,positive +the plot has something about white hunters captured by a tribe of white women in the african jungle its a turkey and the some what it really is is wildly footage from early sound and silent films mixed with badly shot recent to the release footage of men on a there are scenes of a man in a gorilla suit south natives at sea used to represent people in the middle of africa women in horrible narration and a guy in a cloth with make up all over his body i think so this is a movie to sit and make fun of but only with lots of alcoholic drinks and witty friends at any other time this is going to be a chore to get through its a bad bad bad movie beyond that i'm speechless,negative +this movie sucks did anyone notice that the entire movie was shot in like 2 rooms there are never any outside shots and if there are its obviously film taken from somewhere else this movie blows hard painful to sit through too stay far away,negative +whoever this one to of the lost certainly knew he spoke he might as well have it to some of the adventures of the pulp heroes that followed kay reminds one more than a little of both the shadow and clark savage doc savage the shadow quintessential man of mystery and the very first dark knight was also thought to be one kent if one were to take first name first and add to it the kent you end up with clark kent funny like indiana jones isn't above the of an ancient civilization though his are often more blatant and less than unfortunately this two is a far cry from subsequent serials from any era in terms of overall quality one of the first that something is a the cinematic storytelling is a scene where on quite literally breathing down his neck simply watch as escapes their in a hot air balloon why they don't bother to shoot down the balloon is just one of the many movie making mysteries that plague these two films br br the second half of this two is even worse than the first granted this was one of the first ever serials and as such should be cut a bit of slack but there are limits even to tolerance at one point the capture of the hero is not on screen but in the narration itself talk about cutting fritz lang happens to be one of the greatest filmmakers to ever make films unfortunately for those of us who admire most of what he did the is a bitter indeed to swallow,negative +i'm certain that people from usa don't know anything about the rest of the world but i think they talk about what they don't know and they must remember that the rest of the world is not as as the usa the only places where sex between teenagers are illegal are the usa and nations in france for instance the age of is 15 in brazil it's 14 in spain it's 12 so the teenagers actors 16 and 17 years old by the time of production aren't doing anything illegal nudity isn't considered big deal in almost all countries and only a freak could consider a love as child,positive +i will just start with some quotes from other reviewers that describes it the best br br this is easily one of the most overrated films of the year and probably the worst film tarantino has ever done the only good thing in this movie was the performance of mr br br so i was really disappointed and seeing this movie on place 40 of the greatest movies of all time is the only thing about this that leaves me with my mouth opened now for more details go and read hated it reviews br br one thing i hate about a movie is when it treats audience as bunch of dumb people spoiler ahead now i know style is based on fantasy and plots but come on hitler and 200 top nazis officers will be in of a movie in occupied france and you have only two guards in the whole theater and the surroundings where also an american african walks around with steel doors and setting fire these 2 guards are then executed in seconds opening the door for our 2 heroes to hitler at point blank with around 100 rounds very dumb at least challenge our intelligence and create a smarter plot to kill one of the most feared of all time go watch besides mike myers of a british general is more realistic and authentic than the guy doing hitler just picture that br br what ruined it further is that the only smart and powerful character which nailed everyone in the movie with his psychological and mind ends up to be effortlessly tricked by the most mindless character in the movie br br after watching the movie i was with nazis who were portrayed to have more bravery and humanity than our imagine that br br my if you have insomnia 33 min to waste or you want to give your mind a break go watch this movie,negative +wallace have been around for some time but this was their first onto the silver screen fans of the british tv series like myself were eager to see them and the film did quite well in the theaters much of the reason is that the film is fun and quite original in a world of cg movies like shrek and toy story this stop motion film is a nice alternative to the trend in children's movies as well as being totally unlike a cartoon plus compared to much earlier stop motion films such as king kong and the ray films such as the quality and movement of the characters are light years better looking very fluid natural and more alive br br apart from the quality of the animation this movie also deserves kudos on every other level first the voice actors do a great job second the script is very simple but also very cute and enjoyable with a few double that should probably go way over the kids' heads third they manage to make this not only a movie for kids but people of all ages as the film is neither nor aimed solely at the younger crowd in particular i was captivated by incredibly cute the film was and especially the adorable i especially liked them in the closing credits which made me very happy i stayed to watch the entire film br br the bottom line is that unless you are a real stick in the mud you will enjoy this film it's fresh funny and amazingly clever i hope we see a sequel and this is saying something as i usually hate sequels,positive +this has to be the worst movie i've seen this year and i watch a lot of cable the plot is just ridiculous the scenes are just thrown at you with no action no start or ending of any scene it's just random idiots with make up that scream in some plane the special effects spielberg would laugh his ass off are horrible the yellow eye contact are cute though i have to that i couldn't bear to watch it to the end the scene where the great scientist bennett was holding for dear life by the engine body was too much for me i'm sorry for my bad english i am from romania and this is my first post i had to sign up just to make a comment on this movie because i just can't believe that this is a movie released in 2007,negative +i once had a conversation with my parents who told me british cinema goers in the 1940s and 50s would check to see a film's country of origin before going to see it it didn't matter what the plot was or who was in it if it was an american movie people would want to see it and if it was british people wouldn't want to see it this might sound like a ridiculous but after seeing the heart i can understand why people in those days preferred american cinema to the home grown variety back in the 1940s br br british was devoid of working class members and it shows in this movie everyone speaks in an english dee upper class accent that makes the british royal family sound like working class and what this does is alienate a large amount of a potential british audience who would no doubt prefer to be watching jimmy cagney in white heat because people would have if not related to then certainly with a violent gangster in cinematic terms more than some high class english shrink in 1949 that's entertainment the reason people go to cinemas even the characters names seem bizarre how many british people were named in 1949 and the protagonists drink and they use words like you do get the feeling that this wasn't for a 1949 mainstream british audience but why should it if the majority of british cinema goers were up at cinemas to watch far more entertaining american br br watching the heart in 2005 i was how dated everything was in fact it's so dated i thought maybe it might be a spoof from the harry show what didn't me was the fact that these types of movie came close to sinking the british film industry an industry that didn't pick up until american money invested in crowd like and the james bond movies,negative +this is a pretty good documentary i'm not a i don't particularly like or culture but somehow for about 2 hours this movie made me interested in the subject br br i wouldn't call it the most intriguing film of all time but for some reason when those guys were talking about how they started their and were in those empty southern california i was interested br br i should also add that the music in this film was pretty good too i don't sit around yearning to hear more 70s rock bands but it seemed appropriate for what they were talking about,positive +the power started off looking promising but soon became boring and tedious to watch the plot is about an ancient aztec doll that takes possession of those who own it the idea is decent enough and this film would have been fairly entertaining had it been done better however after the first ten minutes or so it soon becomes boring we don't get any good death scenes and have to listen to loads of talking at the end one of the possessed men meets his death by melting away in front of two girls but it's not very interesting and definitely not gory br br i wouldn't recommend the power to any horror or slasher fan as there's little to be gained from it,negative +returning from 20 years in china a young refuses to become the for a gang of hometown br br this movie was a bit of a departure from harold previous movies comedy derived more from dialogue often rather serious here rather than the elaborate sight gags which powered classics of the past there are some splendid moments however which are pure visual fun as when harold attempts to follow a down a crowded street or when he desperately tries to keep a nightclub stripper from losing her clothes there is also the climactic scene set in a basement in which harold jumps into the darkest comedy but most of the humor from to be the of the criminals who've run his hometown for years br br and it's quite a collection of crooked politicians thugs harold finds himself up against played by a of fine character actors george grant mitchell alan warren fuzzy knight is on hand as the stand girl who catches eye and keeps him intrigued by her no nonsense on life br br movie will recognize samuel s as father charles as an elderly and herman bing as a german gangster all uncredited also showing up for only a few seconds as an attempted is young a familiar face from silent films here making his final appearance in a lloyd picture br br fox gave the film fine production values especially in the opening scenes set in china,positive +i'm a davis fan for life because of this movie i've always loved samuel l jackson and the two make a great pair on screen this said i think is the best action movie i've ever seen forget the twist endings that audiences have now come to expect and that filmmakers now try mostly failing to into their movies br br 10 10,positive +a truly excellent look at the world and the realities of being a heroin addict the movie is one that will hit much too close to home to those who were involved in the drug culture and have knowledge of what being or being around a heroin addict really is good movie which will never truly be outdated excellent performances by all involved and the set is way of showing how bleak a world can become worth a look an education of sorts the golden arm is a worried look at the truth of the underground life of pain a lives in,positive +my wife and kids in my opinion is an absolute abc classic i haven't seen every episode but i still enjoyed it there are many episodes that i enjoyed one of them was where junior george o gore ii got his license if you want to know why you'll have to have seen it for yourself before i wrap this up i'd like to say that everyone always gave a good performance the production design was spectacular the costumes were well designed and the writing was always very strong in conclusion even though it can be seen in now i strongly recommend you catch it just in case it goes off the air for good,positive +in on the subtleties of eastern religious from the small all over the film to the actual purpose of spacey assumes a role throughout the entire film it is as if the statements he makes general truths about a culture of peace which is strongly in and it can be said that is the eye of the storm the world is in and is and the false of reality is what everyone else sees but sees truth he sees the minute and it and at some points fears it as he his social construction of reality and becomes more br br the film is particularly detailed therefore i would recommend that you watch it at least twice to see how nuances listen carefully to the at the beginning and end as they truly touch on concepts not presented in western br br 9 of out 10 rating superb with room for improvement,positive +it's a short movie for such immense feelings the last 20 or so minutes are among the most intense in the recent years of the industry huston john is dying and only love can make the difference the actor's work in the long evening scene is absolutely marvellous,positive +man is this lousy it doesn't deserve much in the way of comment so keeping it brief rebecca is a highly police psychiatrist who falls for latin lover antonio in a wine store he of the and jail house when she cuts loose she really cuts loose other than this affair she's having and we must admit the affair has its speed she's a pretty cold fish her broke father shows up for the first time in years and she boots him out she's also at keeping her horny upstairs neighbor dennis miller at bay and there's prisoner harry dean who's trying to her into giving him a of multiple personality disorder so he won't have his nailed to the wall for the serial murders he's committed br br all these people and perhaps more are immediately suspect when strange things begin happening to her somebody sends her dead flowers somebody does things to her pet cat the next time i see a household pet turn up in a or strung up in the closet or boiled in a pot i'm going to so who's doing it guess no power on earth could force me to reveal the ending but maybe a hint will help childhood abuse br br the abuse excuse is an interesting business in itself far more interesting than the movie what does childhood abuse mean do we mean sexual abuse physical both how about a kid over the back with a wooden cooking hard enough to break it that's what happened to me and my brother when we were kids just as similar things happened to all the other boys in the neighborhood sexual abuse that never happened to any of us as far as i know although i'm not sure it would have been rejected with any degree of animation in the village i studied for two years there was one case of an adolescent boy found playing sexually with a much younger girl the girl's family beat hell out of him the boy's own family sent him to live with another branch of the family in another village an that lasted two years by the time he returned the incident was forgotten by everyone including the child by the way the little girl we see here is under five so it's unlikely that she'd remember night time visits in any case since long term memory isn't really established until about that time experience leading to her mental disorder can be called the social construction of trauma it's not there unless we put it there enough of the psychiatric lecture that will be fifteen cents br br you want trauma i'll give you trauma the film absolutely forces us to identify with rebecca character right from the beginning then when she has her first with antonio and score is the into our heads the camera gives us a shot from over her shoulder of the bare antonio over us with his hairy chest now that's traumatic it makes any male viewer feel as if he's on the floor of the room at the california men's colony in san luis don't get me wrong i don't dislike antonio it's just that i'm not in love with him there aren't enough nude shots of rebecca body in the entire universe to compensate for that kind of anxiety br br here's an engaging way of surviving this movie instead of just sitting there try picking out the scenes that were filmed in toronto and them from the ones shot in it's a challenge really and may for all we know your sanity,negative +q is an original and isn't like those other bad disney film spoiler a boy named moves to a new town and has trouble at school he is good basketball a girl in the 1950's died with her boyfriend when their car was crashed off a bridge amy jo johnson from the power rangers pink ranger is helping as a ghost to get a along the way he must explain to his sister about her ghost and finally getting this returns to the bridge she died on and then she gets in the ghostly car of her boyfriend and they up later as he misses her he finds a girl who looks just like her do you believe in reincarnation q is a good movie to see now and then but they barely give because disney needs to fill everything up with stupid movies and shows i give it a br br 7 10,positive +a friend brought me this movie and at first i was the pace in the movie was so slow that it was admittedly boring at the beginning but the life scenes were attractive it's like than watching br br it turned out to be simply stunning throughout the film the way how the director handled the life scenes to reflect the reality was but somehow also overwhelming it's like understanding the real life of a lively person than watching a movie br br mr and miss did their roles so well that it's more like telling us their own stories indeed they used their real names in the movie,positive +i love basketball and this seemed like an intriguing movie however in the first ten minutes of the movie i knew that it was going to be lousy it was poorly acted and much too slow on top of that it was very very racist sexist and sometimes putting in racial ethnic and other types of has a point the that exists in this movie there was no point to the horrible and no one learned from what was being said part of the problem is that it was an adaption of a play and a remake of a 1982 movie that dealt with a basketball team from the 1950's having this movie take place earlier in time would have made a little bit more sense it didn't translate well to modern times and the writing was horrible i don't know how the play was originally written but i can't believe that any movie as bad and as hateful as this one has made it to television and video in 1999 it was disgusting don't waste your precious time on this one,negative +asia has never done a film so far as i know and this includes ones directed by her own father where she fails to show all of her at some point sure enough in the most boring opening dialogue scene ever poor madsen has her coming into his office and right there reminding us that even though her hair is up she can still stick her fingers in her at any given second which she does but in such a random what am i really seeing that kind of way the dvd box makes this look like a femme fatale film so you keep waiting to see her turn into a and killer no such luck she's hung up on some aging has been and even worse has no credible skills in physical other than surprise taking off all the clothes when any scene allows it her english would be cool if only she didn't try to make it sound so affected and try to talk like a 12 year old how about this plot weak minded but simultaneously woman is suddenly driven to kill while she already has another affair on the go and is running some cheap drug deal huh what does anyone have motivation in this movie to do anything other than buy a the screenplay seems to be oriented by letting everyone talk a lot about the same things over and over i was expecting to see the worst acting on this appear as a producer who dumped money in it just to have some screen time there is nothing going on sub the obvious flaws of character that at any point in the movie delivers what the dvd cover promises she's weak but she knows how to kill she a lot she naked she half dressed she even in a dead woman's clothing she is very and in fact would have been a great name for this movie and a shot of asia passed out looking angry on the cover would have been a better representation there are actually shots of her eating airplane food what's that about br br the ending makes 0 sense everyone is just annoyingly in their intent and their execution of all the wife of lester doesn't deliver any real vengeance taking someone to bad is life threatening but not really valid and lester just around without really making much of anything totally misleading key art yeah we know asia lost the baby fat of her first born but really a whole movie trying to pretend like that's interesting enough to drive a film about a passive aggressive chick is not worth your while see point of no return instead,negative +following on from the huge success of nick park and the team with the wallace and short animations we now have the first hopefully of many feature with the characters that so many love the dvd of the movie has proved to be the most and best used of my two children's many christmas presents by a long way the plot of the movie is straightforward enough but the beauty of the w g films for me is the background gags there are plenty of up front gags and slapstick for kids and adults to enjoy but the background is the killer for me all in a classy addition to an already classy filmography for nick park and i would recommend fans and new to see this film often,positive +an entertaining first draft for north by has some wonderful moments one of the best occurs at a table when the hero is asked by a woman who hasn't yet seen that he's wearing to give her a plate trying to do that he also drops a knife to the floor exposing himself even more but suffers from a poorly chosen lead whether he's delivering patriotic speeches lane making jokes or trying to look worried robert is wooden and from a lack of really distinct villains oh there are villains many of them but hardly anyone has enough screen time,positive +this was the most thought provoking capital punishment movie ever it refused to seem one sided and the emotions felt throughout the story are as real as it can get this movie had one of the most and i use this term in a good way compassionate religious character ever this movie actually caused me to go out to find and read the book which is rare for me sister helen more of a spiritual tone than a religious which is also rare and it presented both sides to the issue so that people on both sides who watched the movie wouldn't feel that a point was left out and we have the director to thank for that this is not a film for entertainment but it is film that delivers a message that can reach to the core of your heart i can't think of another film like it,positive +as a young beautiful joan as rita adams was after her father was shot to death as a young woman ms finds herself struggling to keep a job as her murdered father's ex convict status makes a bad business risk rooms with understanding linda as donna andrews who to get in touch with old friends john archer as bob elliott and jack la as mickey roman but none of her friends can help when is the victim of a which lands her in prison upon release decides to give the male a run for their br br re titled gangs inc this is an obviously weak cheap mobster melodrama still it's a lot of fun to watch work wonders with inferior material she plays the innocent growing more sophisticated rita quite convincingly and she in a great bit as a blonde hooker must be added to the list of unfortunately hollywood actresses of the past paper bullets also features an early alan as jimmy kelly aka bill ms who sang the hit an apple for the teacher with bing crosby sings a couple of fair numbers nicely but mainly it's show br br paper bullets 1941 phil joan linda alan,negative +one night at is one of those films that starts with an awful amount of promise but as the film goes on it becomes silly and loses it's way big time tyler plays a manipulative woman who tries to get her own way by her body to every man she meets all of which fall under her spell there are a few funny moments in this but they get fewer and fewer as the film into a comedy farce michael douglas who plays the assassin is good as is tyler although she does look like she had put on a bit of weight since this is ok but is only memorable for the scene in which tyler her car you will know what i mean when you see it 7 out of 10 just,positive +enchanted april was one of harry last movies he only directed a few more after this one he had made the movies in the 1930s and 1940s in the opening credits it says from the novel by elizabeth and completely leaves off the author's last name rather odd but since it was von they may not have wanted the german association at the time sad to hear it was a flop when it was released with those fun names like frank morgan the wizard and jessie ralph who played w c mother in law in bank dick two in london ann alexander decide to rent a castle to host two of their friends but things don't go the way they planned owen plays the husband with multiple personalities aside from a few funny moments it does move pretty slow ralph is the only bright spot here as the overbearing take charge type and the picture is quite fuzzy and out of focus for much of the film the views of italy are all obvious backdrops the only saving grace here is that the turner classic version is only minutes long too bad they didn't give frank morgan a larger role this was remade in 1992 by the bbc as a british film,negative +i'm not the biggest fan of westerns my two personal favorites though are and this movie though i loved it was great the plot was well done and it was a fun movie everybody who had a part in this movie did excellent i even think it beat out both movies in well not really because that was a superb movie that these two can't compare with in the long run i do think it beat out though both had there strong points for instance they both had excellent well known casts very good plots and very good filming but beat out in four ways in my opinion first the characters were more unique in the music was better in the idea was original in unlike and the biggest difference the action sequences oh my gosh was a western with really good action sequences i mean really good the action was fast paced like modern day based up movies the action had big budget explosions too the were pretty good also mario van was great in this movie i suggest buying this excellent movie,positive +i borrowed this on dvd from a friend the other day i didn't really know what to expect i haven't seen a lot of russian movies and i don't think i've ever seen a russian war movie maybe that made me expect something different something more along the line of an imagined russian mentality but whatever those expectations came from they were put to shame as this is a quite ordinary war movie br br the whole formula of following a few young people from their through training to and through some battles is well known we have seen it done both many years ago as well as more recently as with sure there's a difference here because the movie is about russian soldiers instead of americans as is almost always the case but in general this could just as easily have been a vietnam movie i guess that just my feeling that afghanistan was the soviet vietnam a country that should have been a for a made the war drag on for years with terrible loss of life both for soldiers and civilians br br the good points in this movie i felt were good photography there are some beautiful ambiance shots and decent effects for what i guess must have been a rather low budget movie what made me disappointed is mostly the story itself it just doesn't manage to stir any emotion in me mostly because the character development is lousy and to really feel something when people are down you have to make them people not just cardboard they fail to do that in this movie also it's overly long and that seems to a kind of trend lately in my opinion a movie that's more than two hours long has to have a lot to offer and this movie doesn't cut it also there is a disturbing music that's put like a wet over every scene especially in the action scenes this is highly disturbing not that you need action music but something more than just slow keyboard music would be nice otherwise the production values were good enough that was not where the problem was br br i don't know how to view this movie as a reminder of the fact that no matter where you are war sucks that russian film makers have already watched too many american war movies to make something original regardless of which this movie is rather clichéd lacks in spirit and while it has acceptable technical qualities it lacks in script and character development in the end it just becomes another of all those war movies that fails to make you think and fails to add something to the genre i've seen a lot worse but a lot better too i rate this 4 10,negative +from the beginning of this film with it's the lost boys rip off opening sequence to the bad wire work and even worse dialog ending this movie along at a pace the came highly recommended from some of my co workers who i am thoroughly convinced were playing a practical joke on me at least i hope that was the intention and their taste isn't that bad this movie was not much longer than an hour and a half yet felt much much longer then that the story was so basic that it could have been summed up in about 15 minutes maximum they could have at least filled the rest of the movie with some entertaining magic or fight scenes however someone decided maybe the director but i don't know if anyone really directed this movie that it was going to be filled with some poorly executed artsy camera shots and nonsensical scenes of the boys swimming and getting into bar fights about half way through this film i thought that maybe bashing my head against a wall would be more entertaining and partially to rid myself of this horrible dirty feeling i had for continuing to watch it so i did bash my head against a wall and i did enjoy it more then the movie i watched it all the way to the bitter end hoping it would eventually offer me more enjoyment nope my efforts were rewarded with how about i make you my i and then just felt embarrassment for the screen writer and pity for the poor actor who had to deliver this drivel the acting really wasn't as bad as other reviewers seemed to think but even the most talented could not saved this work and work it did on my nerves i give movies a chance even bad ones because they usually offer some form of enjoyment and this actually wasn't the worst movie i have ever seen after it was over i did feel like watching the movie stealth again and wow it was so much better this time around oh yeah case in point don't bother with this movie really don't watch a few episodes of and watch the lost boys after having a fair amount of alcohol and you will be a much better person if you do fall into the same trap that i did and watch the make sure to keep all sharp objects far far away from yourself you'll thank me for it,negative +i love sarah plain and tall winters end its such a good movie it tells of the of living on a farm i live on a farm so i know what its like to have br br i love the setting in kansas its such a beautiful place my favorite country star is from kansas i love the country in kansas its just so beautiful i would love to live in kansas br br sarah plain and tall winters end i think is a love story i love love stories they are so fun to watch i like to watch them because it is nice to watch people fall in love falling in love is not as hard as most people think i've fallen in love once sarah plain and tall winters end is my favorite love story,positive +that distinction has to go to the of at least ed misguided attempt at making a quality science fiction film had the dubious star power of bela johnson and the of has no redeeming qualities whatsoever what could have been an interesting and suspenseful plot about a aristocrat on a colony perhaps in the style of the island of dr or mysterious island is by the heavy dialog and acting of amateurs whose lines sink like lead into a sea of stupidity the special effects which took place in someone's further doom this film to the dung heap even the treatment of is something out of a victorian interpretation of the bible the fact that can not be from an individual in its last stages the plot line that the aristocrat fallon and his lady contract the disease and end up as the original of the castle de doomed to insanity and cruelty it is interesting to note that not one member of the cast made another film no wonder talent talent lack of talent oblivion which is where this film should find its end,negative +while it was nice to see a film about older people finding each other and falling in love and the performances by andrews and garner were not bad this picture on the and at every turn every in the plot was in view from a mile away,negative +chris smith is a superior filmmaker with the seldom seen talent for a good story then getting the hell out of its way smith's american movie is the true to life record of filmmaker wannabe mark a loser intent on his elderly uncle for cash to complete his horror short but never under any circumstances to pursue or support the children he's conceived br br such is producer smith's skill that mark appears more sympathetic than otherwise even as he uncle bill with sugar dreams and executive producer credits it is his desperation to be somebody to have his name coupled with the likes of scorsese and spielberg that touches us br br american movie also belongs in that rare often attempted but seldom achieved sub genre that successfully hilarity with horror the humor comes from ed wood style belief in his own genius from his appalling attempts at acting from his his less than film mother for a missing cameraman and from his sweet but brain damaged friend mike whenever he's short an actor or crew member br br the horror comes from seeing what cannot it is this very american attitude i want therefore i am entitled that keeps him from seeing just how much he has to learn about his chosen craft he is so confident he can't fail that failure is guaranteed,positive +1st watched 2 18 2007 4 out of 10 leon leonard fair adventure movie based on a novel by the author of dick fame herman this movie is about the captain of a ship who had stolen the eyes that were extremely rare black from a native god and hidden them somewhere that only he knew about before leaving the island of he got very sick and was on a secret voyage to go back to the island to retrieve the for himself while others like his daughter thought that he was going back to be treated by the local medicine man others didn't know the reason for the voyage a actually knew the real reason for the trip to return the eyes to their god the silly part is that the were hidden very close to the statue and all this time the natives ran their tribe without their god having eyes causing them all kinds of problems along the way we are treated for some reason to a short underwater nature show with an electric fighting a local i guess only herman knows what this was all about once they get to the island the captain dies but passes the of the to his daughter but she also gets the sickness curse as well one of the bad guys finds out where the god is and convinces the daughter to go there and steal back the but at this point the good guys find out what's going on and a fight ensues i won't tell you the results of the fight or the ending i'll leave that up to you to find out if you want as i said earlier the movie was ok but some very silly things that i've already mentioned it's impact i wonder if that new pirates of the got some of it's plot from this one black a curse i well it doesn't matter those elements didn't make for a very good movie in this case or the other it seems they would learn they're lesson but with the money rolling in on that newer movie i'm sure they won't oh well,negative +ok maybe it doesn't deserve an oscar or a golden globe or any award for that matter the acting isn't outstanding there's no reason to give credits to the directing and its really just another semi gory 21st century slasher flick that most people will consider just decent or maybe even dreadful but in my opinion all of this doesn't matter a bit and thats because i had a great time watching this movie br br sure the first 40 minutes are pretty slow but as the movie progresses something in it you will like if you are like i was and anybody else should be when watching this movie and that is looking for 2 hours of fun mindless violence and a kick ass ending which i won't spoil yes there are many flaws in this movie but don't let the cast list on the front cover fool you hilton delivers a decent performance that nobody saw coming even her greatest like me and my friends had to agree that she surprised us greatly with her barely believable acting skills and a strip that wasn't as nasty as anything an online pop up would promise of her but still not so unbearable as to fast forward or turn off the dvd br br the violence in this surprised me nobody at school or on the horror board was talking about it like they were about these new movies called and but i could safely say that wax was more graphic than saw and some death scenes were actually quite disturbing br br in conclusion i'm not surprised house of wax didn't make a place on the imdb top 250 but it is definitely worth a look,positive +minutes nope this thing is minutes tops br br if you cannot guess the killer in this movie you had better throw your tv out the window because you ain't learned nothing in 20 years of cinematic slasher history br br and how come the plain star who never gets naked is always the one you want to get naked,negative +this movie makes you think it shows how a woman's weaknesses can result in nightmares for others her physically aggressive behavior is more often seen in men than women so it made me feel even more uncomfortable to see the way the lead actress i think that women might think about this behavior but i don't think they act on it the dark scenes added to the sense of evil that needed to be hidden i was when the prisoners escaped i was hopeful that the end would bring a satisfying solution but it did not maybe that is more realistic life seems to run in the same direction instead of creating a new river bed running up hill,positive +this bbc series is astonishingly good fun i'd only seen a few minutes before i knew i had to own it and watch it again with all my friends i wouldn't recommend this to anyone but almost anyone else is going to enjoy it from the cinema to the entertainment hungry masses the lead character is a lesbian but it's still worth watching if that's not your thing br br is incredible in a lead role that stretches her into a dazzling assortment of emotions and situations some of a bizarre nature no one who saw this series would ever say she can't act she makes us laugh cry get turned on and slap our in br br you can't really compare this story to anything else it's not a rehash of style or plot it's entirely it's own comedy historical drama coming of age tale musical and more br br gotta praise the bbc for making this story i can't imagine anyone in the overly and formulaic u s ever doing it so stop reading about it and go buy it,positive +it's incredible how a movie can take so much time and effort and still end up being for those of you who appreciate special effects and detail in every shot you will watch this film in awe simply because predator island contains none of this it is a redundant remake of every horror monster movie in the last two decades now i appreciate bad horror films they have a certain for humor in the most dramatic of circumstances however if your goal is to create a memorable work that will thus be in the cult hall of fame then my first suggestion is to find some imagination creativity plus get some talent oh and a few extra bucks to put into your picture br br one horror film tradition has been to shock the audience with violent deaths and gore however shock doesn't deliver for more than a few seconds to really evoke a satisfying reaction from paying crowd there should b development of characters some traits i know you're probably saying this guy is not providing anything intelligent to the filmmakers he's just stating an amateur remark well that goes to show you how amateur these filmmakers are br br despite having to go through the horror of watching this movie there was a silver the performance by dan gordon as chris is splendid he is given nothing to work with in a script and yet he is able to come out of that film looking like a star out of all of the actors he is the only who believes in what he is he not only provides the audience with someone we can identify with but we also have someone we look forward to watching so we can get through the rest of the film gordon shows genuine talent and the ability to pull off quality work and a huge that being the rest of the cast dan gordon is going to be a star hopefully sooner than later that is to say if he can get away films like this that will hold him back,negative +this is my first film i saw the film on tv in its hindi version with its character presented as i also note that it is who the trial by fire in the film and not yet what i loved about the film was its screenplay by ms not her direction the characters big and small were well developed and seemed towards the end somewhat like the end of an woman they are brave women surrounded by cardboard men and one cardboard man seems to come alive in the last shot we see of him carrying his mother he seems to finally take on a future responsibility beyond and to religion br br ms seems to as a director however compared to most indian mainstream cinema she would seem to be brilliant as she cannot use her script to go beyond the joint family she is presenting except presenting a glimpse of the chinese minority in the social of india she even the film to her mother and daughter not her father yet her of days with both her parents in a field compare her to ali and she is by these giants given her competent canadian production team and financial resources film of two ladies in an indian middle class household may be to some but merely captures the of middle class homes that does not seem to for something better than its immediate survival in a limited social space and films have touched parallel themes in india but did not have the publicity that surrounded this film and therefore have not been seen by a wide segment of br br ms ms mr and mr are credible but not outstanding ms is a talented actress who gave superb performances under good directors a brilliance notably absent in this film ms due to her screen presence rather than her acting all in all the film's strength remains in the structure of the screenplay which is above average in terms of international cinema i am sure ms can her writing talents in her future screenplays,positive +the fact that a film is on dvd doesn't guarantee that its quality is very good the fact that a film's quality is doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it this review actually applies to 2 films paired on a single dvd br br the plots of these films are of little consequence they are of interest only to people who collect holmes films … anybody who merely wants a few of the better offerings would do well to purchase some of those made by jeremy brett … or in a basil there are a few other very good holmes films featuring good actors on a one shot basis – such as seven per solution or private life of sherlock holmes in any event these films are considerably less br br here we have a pair of films featuring some of the best actors to do holmes even if the results tend toward disappointing this appears to be the only disc with these films on it although deadly appears by itself in the same version on other br br sherlock holmes and the deadly dates from although it neither looks it nor sounds it some who have seen this may be surprised to learn that it was produce by hammer studios not that hammer hasn't turned out some really schlock stuff but where christopher lee was concerned they usually did a better job the print a direct transfer from a rather worn 1 1 33 copy in black and white the quality of the color suggests the original may have been in color and the ends of the film's aspect suggest it may originally have been 1 1 or more br br the film is set in the early 20th century – not improbable since holmes was still working then and didn't actually die until 1957 however the script is not adapted from any actual doyle story it involves an egyptian and professor shows up as a world famous as well as the prince of crime the plot is melodramatic and banal br br the biggest of this film is that – for whatever reason – hammer filmed it in germany it was nonetheless filmed in english it was then dubbed in german and then re dubbed in english so what you hear isn't lee nor any of the other original actors but a bunch of – not that outside of lee i doubt anyone would know any of the other actors this is too bad since lee see his of the makes a quite decent holmes as it is his voice double is condescending and plain as bread with no nor br br the music for this film is primarily in a possible attempt to be period too bad nobody thought of as it is the music doesn't relate to what's happening on the screen and often is at odds with the action br br the other film is sherlock holmes and the band from 1931 starring a young raymond massey the quality of the picture and sound is fully up to that of the effort and in fact a bit better massey makes a quite respectable holmes although he certainly doesn't own the in the way did and brett does the other who take part in this production are unlikely to be of interest to modern readers the acting – as is true of many films of this period – owes a lot to the post victorian stage and to silent films br br it should be noted that while the deadly is available on dvd by itself the band is available only with the former film br br there is very little else to be said of this film the settings seem to be an odd combination of the horse drawn and the 1920s electronic devices such as a primitive taken altogether it's an interesting and a sufficient to buy the dvd with the pairing rather than a dvd with deadly only,negative +i don't watch very many movies but one night i sat down and watched this with my cousins now we're teenagers so we tend to make fun of a lot of things but honestly the acting here really wasn't very good especially at the beginning one line that stood out was when scarlett says to jill and this is so high school while the next scene shows jill walking past a sign with their high school name on it many parts at the beginning reminded me of a corny badly written badly acted episode however as the story progressed and the cast moved on to just about only jill most of the time i was able to appreciate the movie more belle did really well in this movie and i think that the other actors and actresses ruined the movie for her and i must admit this was one of the scariest movies i've ever seen well no there weren't big monsters and white faces appearing in dark and possessed dolls but the thing that made this movie scarier than ones containing those things is that it really could happen and this movie really reminded me of what really is scary we all know we're not likely to stumble upon the living dead any time in our lives but the idea of having a murderer inside the house you're at could really happen the only flaw with this movie is that it's one of the most cliché movies i've ever seen it has everything in it that any horror movie has ever had turning the keys and the car starts shadows in the corner turning the of the stairs with suspense turning around and seeing a dead body ending a fatal scene quickly with waking up from a dream etc at the suspenseful scenes it was very predictable but overall i would give it a 7 10 it's definitely worth seeing br br by the way this is my first review so i don't know if any of those things were spoilers but just to be safe,positive +denver fans the animation is a classic one of my favorite too and yes it was broadcast in europe as well including my tiny central european country oh how i miss the 80's cartoons honestly they were way better than today's children shows more imaginative creative full of fun with good morals more substance great storyline and excellent character voices computer animated shows of today lack all of these features so all of you who agree and want to bring back all the shows so that the kids of today's generation would see the entertainment that these cartoons brought to us please on the side posted and sign a for a of the 80's best cartoons br br http www com 1 we want an 80s child cartoon kids show channel br br denver br br,positive +my wife and i all the positive comments below made by other imdb members while this is no box office smash hit it has a special charm all of its own genuine and heart warming br br we saw this on video at the end of a long day we were very tired and in bed normally in a situation like this my wife drops off to sleep within minutes that is unless it is an exceptional movie and this one kept us both entertained right to the very end br br perhaps younger viewers in their teens and would not like this but for the rest of us it is a true gem see it,positive +this is by far the funniest sitcom that has ever aired on tv i own all 9 seasons on dvd and literally could watch them over and over anyone who does not find this show hilarious heartwarming entertaining and laugh out loud hysterical is crazy kevin james is absolutely one of the most talented comedians out there my boyfriend and i love going to stand up comedy shows in boston where we live and have seen kevin james twice and his brother gary valentine danny once they are both so unbelievably talented and just plan smart with their work there are so many comedians out there that are just awful and kevin and gary really show the true side of real comedy although a and bitch in real life so i have read is an amazing actress and deserves more credit than any other woman in sitcoms she truly makes the show along with jerry stiller this show is a must see and you will get addicted within one to two episodes,positive +there are just so many things wrong with this movie br br jeff bridges weird accent br br ability to crack the code br br the entire script br br the ending the last scene when two are brought to the table for jeff and rita and the j r laugh and say we don t drink coffee anymore well why did they order it then they obviously did if they didn't and the brought everyone a coffee by there would have been three br br total,negative +dr seuss would sure be mad right now if he was alive cat in the hat proves to show how movie productions can take a classic story and turn it into a mindless pile of we have mike myers as the infamous cat in the hat big mistake myers proves he can't act in this film he acts like a show girl with a thousand tricks up his the kids in this movie are all right somewhere in between the lines of dull and annoying the story is just like the original with a couple of and like most movies based on other stories never with the original story bringing in the evil neighbor was a bad idea he is a stupid villain that would never get anywhere in life this movie is like a rejected comic strip from the newspaper if you think about it the film sure does look tacky sure there are a funny adult jokes like where the cat cuts of his tail and the goes off before he says a naughty word mildly funny at least the grinch had and the film was actually good this film is a cartoonish piece of with bright colors and bad mediocre acting was mike myers even in this movie actually and another thing the fish what is with that stupid fish first time you see him he's an actual fish next time you see him he's all animated and talking but he looks like an animated piece of rubber play this film is a total off target wreck good joke bad joke bad bad bad good joke i'm surprised it even had good jokes like the water park ride joke that was good so please if you have the choice watch the grinch instead of this mess,negative +well where do i start br br as one of the other reviewers said you know you're in for a real treat when you see the opening shot minutes and minutes of film time spent on a guy standing on a br br i won't repeat excellent summary of the story what i would like to say though is that this film me more than any film i can remember i sat open mouthed and on the edge of my seat all the way through the camera work sound track and fantastic performances particularly that of tony draw you to the screen and won't let you look away br br it's italian so of course everyone looks fantastic but it is by no means merely an exercise in cool style this is a film with lots to say about luck loss and love br br go and see it,positive +ignore everyone else's comments for this movie and watch it on pay cable like i did or rent it you owe it to yourself this film is what movies are supposed to be all about hard to and god knows how this was pitched as a high concept but this is one for the angels check it out what have you got to lose,positive +wow i thought was the most awful and embarrassing first sex movie ever but i had forgotten that germany always tries to compete in this case the well known german film producer was successful in producing even worse crap is stupid not believable and predictable and above all not funny it's almost a tragedy that so many kids went to see this in germany and i'm afraid also br br 19 looks too nice to have no girlfriend and too to be 15 and his character is too dumb to be true tries real hard to make us believe that he doesn't know anything about sex but that doesn't help seems to be made by someone who watched al and took him too seriously br br the best actors in the movie are and who play semi liberal parents and are stand up comedians who are not particularly talented in movie acting still their performances are the and in comparison br br a complete failure,negative +spoiler spoiler this movie just let me say now that i totally agree with what had to say about this what was sam thinking she was with a guy who told her he loved her 3 times in total was extremely hot and stuck with her though her trying times josh but she decided to break up with him no cheat on him with a ugly spoiled rich brat jerk loser who never said he loved her in the entire movie oh wait he wrote it on the wall does that count and left her in her time of need because he was scared chris loser who would you want to be with the only reason i sat through the entire movie was because it had josh in it and hoping that maybe she would die at the end i wanted to get another girlfriend who was actually worthy of him the whole your mom thing was funny i enjoyed it i hate it when people around here say it but i think that deserved it should have said it to sam as well she needed a good slap how the romance started is a mystery to me they never said anything to each other anyway so i don't understand how they got together i was thinking about the cheese you gave me did it have or or oh what a come on the supposedly romantic lines were so stupid plus he's ugly i must admit i did cry in this movie for a long time really hard not because she died but because she broke heart he cried in this movie so many times he tried to smile for her but he couldn't stop the tears he cried when 1 he told her he loved her 2 she got sick 3 chris came back and he saw how happy she was w him 4 she died i cried when he cried because he loved her her entire life and told her and yet she was dumb enough to not care and love a guy who left her in her time of need and who did not cry at the funeral 1 1 2 stars only because i love josh oh by the way chris your mom,negative +i went to see this movie mostly because it looked so good in the trailers robin williams and barry should equal greatness instead it just continues bad streak of movies lately what's wrong with the movie more like what's right the ensemble crew does a pretty good job around robin and like usual christopher walken is fantastic that being said this movie just plain wasn't good i really only recommend seeing it if you want to see what it would be like if jon stewart ran for president and won saying he won isn't a spoiler since it was in the trailer the concept and idea is really amusing but that's all most of jokes are just recycled from old comedy bits of his and there are very few laugh out loud moments and most are just dumb like most comedies that turn out to suck all of the funny bits are put into the trailer really no surprises there but come on some of the movie reads like a tom or vince flynn novel people were expecting this to be return to greatness instead it's more a,negative +i've loved this movie since the first time i saw it lo these many years ago i'm not sure how many times i've seen it perhaps 10 perhaps 20 this last time i watched it i was struck by a detail that i hadn't noticed before br br toward the end of the picture the heroes are conveyed back to the town via there are a couple of closeups of the dead men the one that struck me most was a shot of the blond youth all you see on the screen is his profile from head to hands his hands are holding a candle the wind is blowing and his thick blond hair is dancing in the wind in tune with the of the candle flame the contrast between death and the life he has lost is incredibly powerful the moving hair and candle flame remind us of the life force that once inhabited his body br br every time i this film i see something new,positive +i have mixed emotions about this film especially as it to its br br an american werewolf in london that film had it's funny moments it was still more of horror tale than anything else this updated version now set in paris does not have that edge at all and simply isn't in the same class but it does have some good things going for it that the first film did not have and overall it's still fun to watch br br so werewolf aside most of whom think this film is pure garbage compared to the london version i'll still give it decent marks since i don't care what others think i liked it even though i agree london is better and i prefer that version too br br the first 30 40 minutes of this movie is strictly played for laughs including a hysterical scene with a balloon in a restaurant it also introduces the lead female character played by julie i don't see enough of this actress she doesn't seem to make that many films or least ones i hear about over here in america this french actress has a face that is classic beauty so the film got points for having her in it and she looks great br br when the horror starts it can get scary and the special effects are good i also liked the lack of profanity in this film unlike the first one no f words and no name in vain amazing br br however there are plenty of sexual remarks and there is one scene with a guy running out of bar tied to a cross which was to me the soundtrack is heavy metal which isn't appealing to a middle aged guy like me either this film is a lot more toward 20 somethings if that helps anyone br br it's entertaining just don't expect it to live up to the first film,positive +it is impossible to avoid comparing zhang to ang lee's tiger hidden dragon ' they were both big budget chinese kung fu films with breathtaking cinematography of chinese landscape and a cast of super stars but aside from the obvious there is in fact nothing else to compare fails to deliver on almost every level that really matters proving that big name stars beautiful scenery and action effects are no replacement for a director's artistry and vision br br all the marketing hype the of has done nothing more than make its failure a spectacular one much anticipated drew movie goers in when it first opened at theaters in china and hong kong making it an instant box office success however though the script pleased government censors chinese audiences went to heights of criticism and sarcastic wit to express their disdain on line critics both professional and amateur the film disturbing ' from the viewpoint of deep ' written either by an amateur or someone with motives ' one article was simply titled hero you make me sick ' br br the deepest failing of the film is in its plot which is not only morally and based on unforgivable historic but worst of all for a film is boring all blockbuster epic films are known to take some liberties with the facts of history but goes beyond artistic license into unforgivable ignorance when it attempts to an emperor that was as brutal as or hitler does not make up for this lack of moral by being entertaining or fun instead it is makes a woefully poor attempt at being and merely manages to be pretentious and preachy br br though historians agree that the first emperor of china was violent was known to have admired this no surprise given own rule likewise the communist government in sees the allegory that can easily be drawn between the first emperor and its own iron fist methods so they were particularly pleased with this latest work by zhang tony one of the stars of during an interview to promote the film that the government had done the right thing in 1989 by the student because it was needed to maintain in china for these remarks tony received shocked criticisms in his home city of hong kong but he merely stated out loud the underlying message of the movie br br director zhang has stated that his goal was to the values of loyalty and revenge that are traditional in kung fu novels and movies to reveal a higher wisdom unfortunately his version of turns out to be the is right in china where thousands of years of historical reality have this message through art was the last where the individual could actually find freedom from such the great popularity of the kung fu novel can be explained by its ability to provide an escape into an alternate world one where kung fu warriors the country seeking adventure and fighting for justice free from fear and winning against all odds with their super human skills only in the novel did the individual ever win over power in china and only in the novel did the find their going against this tradition of the kung fu hero zhang has not gone towards a higher truth as he had hoped but to the level of government propaganda it's no wonder the government was so pleased br br some film lovers may secretly wonder all aside is it at least entertaining ' fortunately the answer is a no ' because the same tale is told over and over with only slight variations it becomes tedious to watch moreover the three versions of the same story serves only to confuse the character development since it leaves precious little time for the viewer to feel any sympathy for any of them once the version emerges br br the film is not without its beautiful images however all the scenes fall flat because they do not connect to or enhance the storyline the use of different colors to the separate versions of the tale comes across as simplistic and contrived and the cinematography appears self rather than truly beautiful great for a trailer but a disappointment once you are there to watch the entire film br br for those in china who showed disdain for unrealistic kung fu much was expected from hero ' jet li who plays the title role is a real kung fu artist who held national titles before beginning his career as an actor his previous movies have revealed limited acting abilities but many hoped that zhang could use body movements to full effect while casting him properly in a role that would not task his acting abilities but it was not to be attempts to go beyond the kung fu genre so there are not many fighting scenes and jet li is expected to perform a difficult piece of acting an inner transformation leading to profound wisdom and self sacrifice as the casting director ought to have expected li fails miserably meanwhile the only fighting scene that reveals any true kung fu skill is the first one of the film between li and and all the scenes that follow are a disappointment so fails to satisfy even on that level br br though most audiences outside china are unlikely to be aware of the historical of the story of the cruel first emperor it seems even more unlikely that they would accept version of chinese wisdom ' which is anything but perhaps the only time an audience coming out of a screening of was seen smiling instead of or was at the special screening for chinese government officials br br,negative +despite a silly premise ridiculous plot devices and low budget tourist trap br br manages to be striking an inventive beautifully scored film a must see you have to throw out the window to fully appreciate what the director was trying to do if you can manage that you will be in for a pleasant surprise also take note that this is one of the few semi classic horror films that wasn't spoiled by numerous sequels,positive +this show was rushed and relied heavily on surprise cuts to commercials when it came back from commercial the noise or surprise was something simple like a mouse this is a pure rip off of ghost hunters and it attempts to go beyond them and fails miserably also what is with the directors thing is this star trek it just ruins the novelty of this show which wore off quick the only reason it's been watched is that people want to laugh at the pure anti climatic nature of it they never find anything and most likely never will enough they always point out something that is the thing they are hunting and guess what it's the local radio tower light that is red,negative +nothing dull about this movie which is held together by fully realized characters with some depth to them even the have body language performance is brilliant all will want and need a henry as he must have been is maybe and than anne but she plays the part as written a victim caught in the jaws of a big huge baby br br cinematography is gorgeous in the the lubitsch lets these characters breathe and reveal their corruption down to the of he takes his time which can try the patience of an audience to being carried away by action but the time is worth spending slow your and watch this minor miracle of german silent film,positive +the very first talking picture has returned from oblivion and now you can hear it and see it in of at the edison lab complex in west orange new jersey thomas associate william tried to combine two existing the and the to record sound and image together in the event was unable to the of sound and image so this experimental film was never released to paying audiences and consequently unlike many silent films which made for edison at this time it has no official title the silent image recorded at 40 has been in the library of for years known to film historians as a mute curiosity it was also known that the had been recorded on one of the crude wax at the edison national historic site although nobody knew which one br br but now that's changed recently located the wax which had broken into several pieces these were a was and the sound was hollywood's veteran soundtrack editor walter up the background noise and the to make it with the film image which had to 30 sound and image are at last br br the film begins with an man's voice calling 'the rest of you ready go ahead ' the unseen remains but was probably assistant fred on screen plays a into an immense on a one of sound recording devices while alongside him in full view of the camera two male lab embrace each other for some quick ballroom dancing to the of music br br the film lasts barely 17 seconds just long enough for us to marvel at this crude technology before being to laughter at the sight of two men in each other's arms speaking of which here's a warning a well known but extremely inaccurate reference book 'the celluloid by the late russo includes a frame from this movie and it as 'the gay that's incorrect 'the gay is an entirely different movie made by at the edison lab during this same period 'the gay never had a soundtrack it's a brief fiction film about two brothers who are not in the sense russo meant it the deceased mr russo for his own reasons wanted us to perceive experimental sound film arguably the first movie musical as an of 19th century hmm what is it about gay men and musicals sorry but there's just no such content here br br this important film deserves a rating of 10 out of 10 i've often that no movie should ever be considered unless it was deliberately destroyed i'm delighted to report that this film is finally available to audiences as its producer intended it more than a century after it was filmed,positive +a previous imdb reviewer has stated that is a that's the other term of a german musical called by day you by apparently that reviewer is unaware that both of these films have borrowed their premise from and an english play written by john in this play deals with two who rent the same room from an each man believing himself the sole tenant because the two men have different work the is not discovered straight away this play was once so popular in britain that box and cox became a common term for an in which two people willingly shared meant for only one person br br the of and its predecessor is that the two are now a man and a woman who inevitably develop a romance as is usual in these movies the guy and the gal each other until they fall into each other's arms boy br br the in this film is played by george sidney a character actor who in playing jewish stereotypes that were meant to be sympathetic george sidney was never as annoying as the harry green the jewish equivalent of but depictions of jewish characters are still exaggerated and embarrassing to watch br br the single most notable thing about is that to my knowledge this is the earliest hollywood film to make reference to hitler and the rise of at one point in this movie sidney discovers his teenage son engaged in on the walls and his son are clearly meant to be jewish admittedly nobody in hollywood in 1933 had any real idea of what hitler was planning for the jews in europe still it's surprising to see a film depicting a jewish teenager who thinks that are a joke his father is quite properly by this display of the nazi symbol br br a very shameful aspect of hollywood history is the documented fact that all of the major hollywood studios continued to do business with the third as late as 1939 hollywood's leading ladies were documented as so that their films could be distributed in nazi germany and for the same reason hollywood's leading men were documented as and except for at century fox all the hollywood studio executives who in this policy were jewish but clearly had no to doing business with hitler i'm surprised that contains a scene depicting as this sequence would have rendered the film in germany and maybe the scene was cut out for german release it isn't crucial to the movie's plot apart from this the movie contains nothing notable robert does his usual unfunny characterisation i've never understood the appeal of this man i'll rate 4 out of 10,negative +first separate the story from the film the story about a second continuing war in heaven is good very good religious themed films aren't the main choice for a lot of people but angels at war is i really loved the story and some of the imagery provided to back it up like the field of angels on awesome imagery the actual film though was just poor i can't find any reason for the main character the priest cop being in there at all the lead female also no reason to be there the main characters dialogue was just empty it had no substance the story could have been told well without them now some sterling performances did feature walken and pulled off some though their scenes were mostly with the lifeless leads br br one other thing i am not getting from this film is why it features native american to the dark soul the child that carries it is clearly of native american origin but apart from the end scenario there is nothing that here with that the plot concerning the dark soul itself it barely told odd considering that the dark soul is the driver for the whole premise of the film the back story of its original owner the colonel is briefly touched but not enough to allow understanding as to why its his soul that is the special one br br i cannot find a justification for the scenery shots in this film either several of the around i get the feeling they had a helicopter and wanted to make the most of it as none of the shots have any relevance nor are they in keeping with the mood horror the film falls into the sci fi category more than it does horror there was no real shock or scare scenes some mild gore and blood but no fear element br br so aside from 3 roles played damn well this film is a big dud unfortunately the dud factor the good acting factor just too many weekend actors,negative +i loved this movie it's the finest parody of russian cinema to date who else but could lampoon so brilliantly you thought stalker was slow well step up to the plate i makes stalker look like of the lost by no means should you miss this film there's no excuse even if you live a busy life you can still enjoy this film to its by holding down the fast forward button on your vcr has given us the first feature length film that can be appreciated in 12 minutes br br i suppose the next great masterpiece of the form will come when someone has the vision and courage to exhibit a film that consists of no sound or image at all 45 minutes of a black silent screen wasn't this already explored in in the soup br br apparently the filmmaker and fans have forgotten that motion is the first word of motion picture br br major spoilers ahead br br want to reach the heights of genius that this film achieved here's a step by step guide br br 1 find a talented photographer br br 2 find some subjects and a suitably landscape think if you need inspiration watch some luxury car or commercials br br 3 shoot about 3 rolls of film br br 4 the results to play around with aspect ratio br br 5 now just get out your movie camera film 40 of the best pictures and have your actors their lines off screen don't worry about writing it ahead of time just let the actors say whatever they want lines like do you want a drink and let's get something to eat are really all you need to fill up 8 minutes or so if you can't think of enough dialog no problem just have them repeat what they say a few times if that still isn't enough just let the camera run anyway br br another masterpiece as a bonus if you want to it over the internet no problem the static images will down to nothing with standard a 73 minute movie would probably be about 2 3 even at the highest quality levels,negative +with all the shoot em up blood horror movies that have come our way in the last little while saw saw 2 the hills have eyes yes they have their place don't get me wrong i went to see when a stranger calls with my buddy the other night why because it's a remake of the 1979 classic which at the time was excellent and scared the you know what out of everyone i didn't know what to expect however i was pleasantly surprised it was a film made of mood atmosphere suspense because remember people what you can't see what you think you see what you can't hear or what you think you hear is far more scarier then what you do if you love films with mood creepiness suspense and atmosphere you'll love it it brought it back to the roots of the original halloween thumbs up a solid 8 5 out of 10 remember folks it's well done not perfect it's spooky not bloody it's creepy not gory it was nice to see a film come a long like this our minds have been and by the and shock value of modern day horror movies we forget what's really scary,positive +it was a rare treat to see checking out i was touched by the characters laughed a lot at the wonderful script and was deeply moved by the genuine emotions portrayed by this ensemble cast and especially by peter falk in fact one of his scenes in the kitchen of his apartment with his children where he tells of his experience of his life his deep love for his wife and his decisions about his life going forward is so profoundly real that it is at the highest level of the best academy award winning performances he is a actor who out did himself in this film the screenwriter offers a combination of literary knowledge timing a gift for dialogue and hilarious situations that had me laughing out loud in the theater i highly recommend checking out to everyone wanting to enjoy quality storytelling superbly acted,positive +how does david lynch do it unlike the of thick black framed glasses wearing types and pretentious movie critics who praise his name i just don't see how this guy keeps getting paid to make such tripe how can lynch together footage from a failed tv pilot into a nonsensical poorly acted mess have critics rave about it actually include it on year's best lists br br i'm if you're looking for a good film noir rent bound instead if you're looking for a good puzzle movie try but beware of this over hyped stinker unless your idea of a fun night is throwing away 2 1 2 hours of your life 3 50 of your hard earned cash,negative +before last call w carson my local nbc aired much more worthwhile programming after late night w conan such as second city tv 3rd rock from the sun in the city reruns and some stand up comedy these days there is nothing worthwhile to watch because all i get to see is carson and his awful show he is not a comedian he is not an actor he does not deserve to be famous because he isn't a good nor comedian br br on his june 21st show he tried to use an internet called the on his show he failed hard that event that carson is awful,negative +i thought this was the 70's art film about the bed that eats people which sounded interesting it isn't interesting i mean let alone about a man eating bed br br i assume stuart gordon put his name on this in the same spirit that lloyd kaufman puts troma on just about anything that's been shot with a video camera in the interest of building up a franchise library little more can be said about this other than the running time is less than 90 minutes it is of course about a bed that is haunted by the spirit of a man or something that once killed a woman with a wig and long false along the way we get a five minute opening credit sequence is the one for lawrence of even as long a murderer with contacts who kills using the same technique as the in eye of a sexual practice michael may have employed a preview of what will soon look and act like soft core porn even would pass on and one topless scene a wacky or is it ending involving unintentionally hilarious hammer hits and pie well it looked that way to me and a surprise ending of nothing much it's like the screenwriter even fell asleep on the before finishing the last draft br br it's not scary it's not sexy it's shot on hi video and doesn't look bad but doesn't look good either the acting is just good enough to not be bad enough to be fun and so is everything else no one would probably have even seen or heard of it unless it was on a disc with another movie the modern day double feature i wasn't paying attention for parts of it so i may have missed something but for some reason i doubt it rating pass,negative +i first watched this show hoping for a few laughs good acting and good plot sadly i got none of those things br br first off this show is completely unrealistic how can someone go to a school that's super hip awesome location and barely any rules plus a bar a bar no school has a bar and what's up with the huge ultra cool ultra hip rooms this doesn't happen in schools everyone in this show seems to be perfect looks perfect has the perfect friends never has to do and is super popular sounds more like a villain to me i hate how they use so many in this show example dana the chick she is completely ignorant and wears edgy clothes the jokes are old old too i wouldn't watch this show if i were you it's one of the most horrible shows i have ever watched and i hope it gets canceled soon rating 1 10,negative +this movie could be to comfort food for the soul anyone who has ever tried and tried to save a relationship could relate to this movie so many parts of it are so hilarious and so many parts are so true it's not perfect in its production or even its dialog but the story is unique which is saying a lot for modern romantic comedies luke wilson is bland at best but heather graham does an exceptional job in my opinion give it a try despite the trite looking dvd cover the character of brings a lot of issues up in our culture of self service she asks us if commitment is really for the other person or ourselves truly it is ourselves following through on promises anywhere from marriage to an for a friend is a great feeling anymore our word is nothing but a of smoke is like a wake up call we must be conscious of our words and they mean more than we think at the same time we must not commit to someone who is incapable of doing the same,positive +the acting in this film was of the old school corny and stiff irene dunne is and comes off the best even though she has some very unnatural lines to say still her ability to convey emotion comes through br br old movie buffs will find at least some redeeming qualities in this film through observation of cinematic technique of the 1930s otherwise it is not really that worthwhile,negative +please do not waste your time and money with this stinker of a turkey br br this is an over the top melodramatic love story set against the background of new france aka in the 18th century or is it an historical saga of new france with an epic romance thrown in i don't know and at this point i don't care anymore br br there is a rich story to be told out there about the french and other characters who settled canada and parts of the us this is not it the characters are total clichés the story is overblown breathless and devoid of any charm and before long all the viewer wants to do is get the heck out of the theatre have his or her head checked and get hold of his or her anger at being taken in by the hype br br this film was the biggest disappointment of my year in terms of cinema especially since as an and a french canadian or canadian of french descent or whatever i am a a believer in the fact that the story of my people in this country has yet to be told as well as it could on film b interested in this subject c a film lover who thinks cinema these days could do wonders with this and tragic story br br as i said do not waste your time with this frustrating bit of,negative +the strong points in the film were clear for the beginning and middle part of the film it showed how a very violent authority might react to resistance filmed in the fashion of a documentary the director captures what would have happened if the united states martial law for punishment park a training ground for cops where you're and would offer you an out to this dire scenario it switches between the court trials for those facing those who are in the park escaping police attention the training of officers preparing to handle these prisoners the judges in their time among many other things it was a very strong deeply moving film br br the only fault i had with this was its realism officers are often seen holding their like they were seven years old with a plastic toy i e a 90 degree bent when pointing a gun in someone's face or the way one cop just makes it look like it's hard to kick someone when they're down etc etc it starts out as an honest and interesting attempt to capture a very critical state of political affairs by the end of the film the viewer is slowly reminded again and again of the prejudices of the director and the producers the antagonist characters in the story start out as genuine real human beings and then slowly progress into stereotypical forces of evil by the very end the mistakes they make are stupid the force they demonstrate is unreal and unlike the way real police act the judges during this court hearing are shown making stupid and unreal mistakes among many other things br br the of the movie started to fall apart when it became evident that this was just another blank check attempt to make government look bad and that's coming from an the scenes at the end started to get hokey unreal and a thousand times over dramatic still for the earlier part of it it promises some very moving storyline,positive +reality before reality tv copy of fast times at high a to say anything that's i can't decide but the soundtrack is the 80's journey lionel and i can't believe this they would never throw all those genres together in a teen movie of today br br i remembered this like a teenager mainly the sex parts and not a hint of the why i was a horny teenager in the 80's watching it again i just can't describe how much i love that rose play by richardson turns out to be the voice of pepper ann in the 90's and she was almost 30 when she was in last american virgin playing alongside 16 year olds fantastic complete cheese reality fantasy and comedy with a sincere on top,positive +a girl begins to notice that people in her small town are becoming fascinated by anything that is shaped like a spiral soon the fascination turns to obsession and things get deadly while i won't say that was an excellent film i will say that it was unlike anything i've seen before throughout my viewing i felt like i was watching a cartoon there are funny between scenes and characters with enhanced eyes later i found out the film is an adaptation of a manga comic so this makes sense however just when you think you are watching something that could be a kid's movie you are with nasty and gory visuals the story often and the ending is somewhat abrupt and seemed anti climactic at the time but in retrospect i appreciate it more for its originality my rating 7 10,positive +what the hell was this i'll admit there were some scenes that caught my eye such as the 23 where the protagonist sees or the number 23 everywhere he goes but that was pretty much the movie in a nutshell for crying out loud this was supposed to be a suspense movie and being labeled as a psychological thriller i would have expected it to have at least some effect on the mind but instead what did we get we just got something as as an animal control guy finding himself in the middle of a mid life crisis and his journey to redemption kinda like an old man flick if you ask me i probably should have just rented wild it wouldn't have made a difference i mean who are we kidding they should have made someone else the killer of that girl by with the protagonist of that book the number 23 they were pretty much giving out the movie to the viewers by that he was the killer all along how would that have our heads shame on all of you voters who chose to show some towards this wretched piece of work you call a movie and kudos to most of the critics who with my reaction,negative +this movie was a rather odd viewing experience the movie is obviously based on a play now i'm sure that everything in this movie works out just fine in a play but for in a movie it just doesn't feel terribly interesting enough to watch the movie is way too and they didn't even bothered to change some of the dialog to make it more fitting for a movie instead what is presented now is an almost literally re filming of a stage play with over the top characters and staged dialog because of all this the storyline really doesn't work out and the movie becomes an almost complete bore and viewing experience br br it takes a while before you figure out that this is a comedy you're watching at first you think its a drama you're watching with quirky characters in it but as the movie progresses you'll notice that the movie is more a that really more toward the comedy genre rather than the drama genre br br the characters and dialog are really the things that make this movie a quirky and over the top one that at times really become unwatchable sure the actors are great peter o'toole and york amongst others but they don't really the movie to a level of br br the story feels totally the story is about nothing and just mainly focuses on the brother sister characters played by peter o'toole and york but what exactly is the story even about the movie feels like a pointless and one that has very little to offer like i said before i'm sure the story is good and interesting to watch on stage but as a movie it really isn't fitting and simply doesn't work out br br the editing is simply dreadful and times and it becomes even laughable bad in certain sequences br br more was to expect from director j lee thompson who has obviously done far better movies than this rather failed stage play translated to screen project br br really not worth your time br br 4 10,negative +i have a friend that works at blockbuster and he gets 5 free movie a week so one day as we were the for something interesting i stumbled across 18 weapons of kung fu and judging by the box alone this movie seemed pretty but nonetheless we gave into temptation and rented it it was free and thank god it was this is by far the worst movie i have ever seen the budget must have been a and a piece of string the plot was ridiculous the only mention of the 18 weapons is that there is some book that teaches the ways of the 18 weapons that some bad guy is after and thats it there even any weapon fighting in this movie that and the action sequences are just flat out bad 9 times out of 10 the other guy's punches and kicks come about a foot away from landing on the other guy's and there are many times when the the movie will skip frames a result of ridiculously poor editing the dubbing is as well laughable and it is hardly even understandable and we wont even get into the acting the ending will definitely leave you saying wtf however to be fair i must mention that the fighting techniques used by the actors were somewhat decent and the old guy is a mad but thats about it thankfully i didnt have to pay for this movie but i guess at least now i know exactly how bad a movie can actually be,negative +i like j horror anime and even kinda dig the pink movement which some have claimed this a member of but this did nothing for me i willing to go a step further and label this one of the biggest let downs of my film watching career br br three young go around getting their kicks out of girls one of the group starts to develop a about their pass time when his kid sister nearly catches them in the act the group turns on itself as the once friends begin fighting with each other it ends on a down note the film as a whole br br aside from watching the friends yell at each other which they do a lot there isn't a whole lot going on here the film is with long shots that only the issue on top of that even when the film starts to do something interesting it suddenly gets down in philosophy that never makes any sense for instance after one of the buddies has his change of heart about girls he goes out and does it again but then stops his buddies from taking their turns huh the cinematography is slow and lighting is poor the writing is ok as is the acting which makes this a sub par cinematic effort from the start mix the lack of technical with the flimsy content and you have nothing more than a waste of time br br oh and one more extra note at least one of the girls that appears in the buff does not look old enough to be doing that kinda stuff br br 3 10,negative +mean spirited and down right adaptation to the classic children's tale not only lacks the charm of its but lacks any talent what so ever mike myers should not only be ashamed of himself for his horrible performance that is a clear rip off of what jim carrey did but he should give up acting all together he is so annoying that you would want to beat the crap out of him if you were able to jump right in the film the sets are ugly and the cinematography is very poor i have seen a lot of bad film this year but this not only takes the cake but it is with out a doubt one the worse films ever made,negative +this film based on the book by la is an acclaimed film of excellent cinematography and italian language set in a 19th century style set it the story of a mad love story a man and a woman there is an infamous line at this shadowy strike which reads she does not smell like tomatoes of this italian masterpiece is a director of the stature of his cake will jump in your and if you let this director he will cream your as a superman remember this one will scare the hell out of you don't forget to visit cake next to the in rome across the via this movie will wipe your inside out and outside in it will make you cry out of romantic joy if you liked you will wipe it good with these until the end of the roll enjoy,positive +before we start may i say i hope you've already eaten when you're reading this why because after i'd seen this film for the first time the look and sound made me want to eat chicken after the words 'the had appeared on the screen so don't say you weren't warned br br fred might have directed earth vs the flying an okay film and one of the bigger examples for tim mars attacks but the giant claw is not that giant a film yes it's a monster that flies in the air attacks planes and cities and occasionally treats itself to a man on a the beast is giant except in the scenes where it's considerably smaller but who needs consistent proportions in a movie scary it could have been but not if the plot is hopelessly silly and the monster looks like like a puppet that ran away from street,negative +beyond is simply marvelous from the traumatic opening to the uplifting ending you will be amazed at how well put together this film is patricia arquette amazingly portrays laura who we meet as a shut down and quit young doctor unable to deal with her grief over the loss of her husband and son throughout the course of the film as she is trapped in witnesses the and in the capital city of for her life and saves her tour u life she is her will to live this may seen contrived or heavy handed it is not john a master at spiritual and emotional conflict paints the film with broad and often uses symbolism to capture emotional state and physical patricia arquette as usual gives a wonderfully convincingly and believable performance as the emotionally wounded laura what arquette does amazingly in any role that she plays is give us a window into her character's heart without words every time she is given a close up in the film the audience is given insight into her character she does not need to speak to convey emotions or be over the top some critics were harsh on performance in the film when it opened on august 25 1995 that she was flat or dull in the role i found her characterization dead on staying well away from the that typically are part of an actor's performance when having a personally tragedy take place she is on shock and is reserved about her feelings that is just as normal as screaming out at those around you i am hoping that warner brothers releases this title on dvd very soon with hugely successful nbc drama medium bringing her to household name status not to mention an emmy win and now 2007 nomination it would be in the best interest to do so hopefully there will be extras with the alternate ending do not by pass by this film it is one that you will certainly not forget after seeing,positive +the hospital is a movie that was made ahead of its time this film produced by screenwriter who gave us the oscar winning film network deals with staff gross incompetence and corruption at a large hospital in manhattan george c scott in a superb performance as the head is driven to alcoholism and a death wish as he tries to recover from a divorce throwing his son out of the house and worst of all a medical facility where corruption and incompetence take over caring and healing of the sick and injured br br mr scott makes the movie his own and viewers will be shocked at what they observe at this medical establishment you can feel the pain pun intended of what this hospital has done to him the vivid images of this incompetence are so vivid and dramatically powerful that you may find yourself laughing and being deeply disturbed from scene to scene br br if only the film had stayed with that premise in a documentary style fashion as it starts out this picture would be brilliant unfortunately there is a sub plot of scott falling for the daughter of a patient the patient has been murdering people at the hospital this is where credibility of the picture becomes strained the romantic dialog scenes add nothing to the picture and the mental patient posing as a doctor i found to be totally unbelievable a simple security call and records check should have prevented the patient from doing the killings it takes almost the whole movie before security people are brought into the film to get the patient out of the hospital i could not see one person doing that much damage even as corrupt as this hospital is br br furthermore george c scott's character is another pun intended because the script has too many things happening at once for example within a period of 20 minutes you could have as many as 20 different doctors accused and denying what they should have done or didn't do with the and aids it's the same story someone's was read wrong someone was given the wrong and died the doctor on the wrong patient than another doctor does the same thing a third nurse who was not on call because the second nurse who was supposed to be the patient was on her coffee break there is also a lot of subtle dark humor with the same messages of incompetence and corruption being fed to the viewer br br this of medical is unforgettable however the murder subplot is a distraction more than a help to this movie when the focus of this film is on the incompetence of the staff and scott's reactions to this you are glued to the screen but the conversations between scott and the mad daughter force the film into a mystery type who done it scenario that seriously hurts the quality of the movie when the loony patient is revealing how he did the killings i wondered the following why did the producers need the find the killer mad patient sub plot i think the only point of scott's character having a relationship with the daughter was to give him anybody with whom to communicate the hospital should have its of the medical profession by the love interest and mad patient scenes it should have focused on the incompetent b s within its walls more frequently in an era where this movie could have been phenomenal the sub plot stories make the film very good instead of the great masterpiece it could have been,positive +i just watched the dvd version of born bad and found it to be tense gritty and near the end too graphic for the faint of heart justin walker clueless and corey turn in superior performances for a low budget film this picture delivers the depth of character and clever dialogue are two things not usually seen in a roger corman picture check it out on dvd,positive +it is such a shame when actors and actresses of high quality get involved with pure crap probably because they were offered a great deal of money not one of helen better career moves the acting of the teens is simply appalling not helped by a script that is in parts simply inept br br most of kevin work is above average box office but this is really below par br br this is the sort of movie that you watch on tv when there is nothing better on and you have had half a bottle of wine to drink and are waiting for the pizza to be delivered so you can drink the other half,negative +this documentary the origins and life of the team using original film shot in the 1970s mostly by craig combined with interviews of the team members and other influential people today br br the first part of the film documents how the section of came to be starting back around the turn of the century when the town was created to be a italy like european city by the 1970's the one remaining local attraction the pacific ocean park had been abandoned leaving a beach with lots of exposed and other the poor kids living in the area had nothing better to do than surf and they despite or perhaps because of their surroundings because the waves in the afternoon they took up to fill their time and the empty swimming caused by the during those years plus their surfing backgrounds led them to create the style that is mainstream today br br i found that the film covered much more about surfing than i expected which seemed like a bonus since i really didn't know much about surfing or before i watched the film the soundtrack not surprisingly was good as well i also liked how these kids were just following their passion and generally ended up better off for the experience the parts that didn't work so well for me were the drama that they tried to create which seemed somewhat forced and the somewhat sense of self importance although this is probably just left over street attitude from where they grew up this is not to say that they didn't have significant influence but only that it seems extremely likely that there were other factors as well br br one note my wife is more affected than most to when films use what we refer to as camera movements this film is often guilty so if you are so be warned br br i would recommend this film to anyone but especially to anyone with and or surfing in their history br br seen on 5 11 2002,positive +a teenage film about angst friendship loyalty and growing but this isn't a happy outing on its part due to the circumstances and life changing surrounding the premise what is quite numbing haunting and downright cold however i was expecting something a little more powerful and effective and while engrossing and unforgettable it didn't entirely stir up much in the way of emotions the performances are reasonably a mixed bag but there's a brutal honesty to them all dennis hopper and especially daniel are glover over does it and keanu dead as wood turn seems to pay off in his role joshua john is quite good and so is jim in with a short but highly engaging performance the story is dramatically confronting character laced and harrowing in its eventual breakdown where it a gritty and painful punch music score is with anxiety tension and wonder as the morals and are tested and,positive +i hated the first movie is really boring and we only get see the at the end br br the plot dead bodies are being found in the new york harbor the police have no clues nor suspects until nick and his colleague realize the killer is a giant everybody especially the police captain refuses to believe story and soon the harbor will be filled with for the 4th of july br br in this movie we get to see more of the giant and special effects for this movie are really good for it's time br br the acting is this movie not bad but not great too but okay and watch able br br the are some really cheese scenes to movie but if can get past that you should enjoy the rest of movie br br 5 10,negative +this show is based on the concept that loud obnoxious funny the comedic writing is non existent in fact i face serious by even comparing it to entertainment of any sort here is the premise two girls accidentally get their posted on the internet and hilarity ensues after their initial success they the idea that they should make a web cast to showcase their brilliance br br ok so where should i begin let's start with the laugh track the used but never successful reminder that we the viewing audience should laugh according to the guys this show is the funniest thing on the planet we should all be dropping loads into our pants because of the brilliance of the humor placed before us the laugh track seriously goes every few seconds it quite possibly scooby doo for the king of laugh track over use br br then the in your face shout at the top of our the of words to seem silly trick is also employed with little to no success and let's not forget creating new words to sound funny trick that is web o and what the hell br br finally the acting i can't entirely complain here the actors are young and inexperienced but this should and can be by good professional help because of the nick should be helping the actors define their craft instead in usual nick fashion the actors are placed in front of the camera and told act which for the most part is robotic of lines missed timing and overall epic fail br br the lack of anything in this show makes it a disgusting representation of how not to be funny don't waste your time this show is to all of humanity,negative +i can't describe the feeling when i got this crappy vhs rental in my hands about 20 years ago somehow i got my father to rent it for me and i watched it twice with my little brother yes we got nightmares this film was originally rated as pg in the us in many other countries including it was under 18 or 16 the film was aimed to teenagers but this must be the pg rated film ever there's no bad language or nudity in it what so ever originally made in 1981 stayed on the shelves for a couple of years before release br br this is an a class b movie a true well made 80's horror flick a bunch of college girls decide to spent a night in a not knowing that a supernatural evil br br you can almost smell the rotting flesh and feel the atmosphere of this movie it's campy utterly stupid but they just can't make these movies anymore there is definitely a certain feel to this 80's horror genre this one is still effectively spooky and entertaining after all these years br br the effects are just quality by jr and thomas r the make up effects play a big part in this flick otherwise it would've been just a boring teen slasher br br it's now available on dvd at last and it's a special edition dvd including some extras too commentary track is interesting br br in fact this version isn't so special after all below average transfer on dvd some and here and there at first it was going to be released by the blue underground but unfortunately it was canceled so show released it without the print too bad br br great date movie br br recommended br br note i only gave 8 out of 10 because of the nostalgic values otherwise 6 out of 10,positive +much of the commentary on this board revolves around the of some comparison to r dogs made on the dvd cover forget about all of that this film er home movie is utterly horrendous how can anyone with a shred of credibility claim this as being 10 10 there is no plot none i couldn't believe that i spent money to rent this more on that later and that i had fooled myself into believing that this based on box cover art and some sort of film fest award had potential the only thing i do really remember was that unbelievably one of the annoying main characters was supposedly with a bullet to the head and he ends up surviving the wound and making it to the final credits alive wow and killers has a sequel double wow br br true story i actually was in so much denial that i had wasted my money and life force on this rental that i kept the for what must've been six months i kept telling myself that it never actually happened the video on top of the tv was an illusion a mental symbol of my self loathing after someone pointed out that is was indeed real and that i needed to get a grip i decided that i couldn't just leave it there i thought how many others have i denied the suffering of sitting through the viewing of this masterpiece by killers all to myself i had to do the right thing and return it back to the hell from which it came br br so as i imagine most of the of imdb would do in a similar situation i up some major courage and drove to the video store at after making sure that no one was around i got out of my car still running of course slipped the movie into the drop box and the hell out of there never to return br br i guess i expected that some from hollywood video corporate would come looking for me the bill must've up to something like 1 by that time so i moved away from the area however much like the killers storyline nothing ever happened,negative +this is going to be my first review on imdb and i'm glad that the standard rating is 1 out of 10 because then i don't have to change anything br br first there are awful movies movies you can make a laughter out of like island city battlefield earth or conan the that is totally acceptable they makes a great party then there are the worst movie ever i cannot believe how utterly crappy this steaming pile of dog turd was br br i found it on a second hand store on vhs and bought it quickly because i like sci fi terminator post apocalypse and stuff like that everything on the box art was very promising then i loaded in the tape quickly when i got home and the first thing that i noticed was what there was maybe 10 minutes or more of switching between present clips and flashbacks in a very annoying blue effect with sounds that makes you and it just continues over and over then some acting kicks in and you wonder why you were ever born in a world where this abomination of mankind actually exists and then i realized there are actually two i didn't think about it first but the title says 3 in it and i was horrified but as i actually in great pain and agony watch it to the end i thought nothing could ever make me feel worse about myself and this universe but then a little text showed up saying next and nemesis 4 no please no,negative +simply miserable turner vehicle had a beautiful voice but he rarely uses it in a film that reminded me of the student prince with adults is no leading man either he looks like an elderly man ready to collect social security and go fishing br br the plot is extremely thin and the supporting cast of barry sullivan and debbie reynolds are given so little to do sir cedric comes in at the end to that our king had better return to his people as far as i'm concerned the faster the better is that turner really singing with not bad if it is her the picture would also remind me in a way of the 1960 movie the prince and the with marilyn monroe and laurence olivier,negative +old bat transforms to younger ok looking girl after drinking a this movie was dreadful the acting atrocious the camera work made me head spin and it features the longest most excruciatingly boring strip ever put to film should be ashamed for directing this been just for writing something so awful don't rent this movie the only exception i can this of is maybe if you're dying and only have less then 90 minutes to live watch this film cause it will feel like an eternity and you'll be begging the grip come a little early br br my grade f,negative +this awful effort just goes to show what happens when you not only use computers to generate the effects but also let them the plot and write the script someone somewhere has obviously come up with a new bit of that asks a few questions then out four hours of loosely connected clichés lousy dialogue and a collection of stock characters that you end up wishing had all drowned in the first five minutes br br tom took the prize for worst performance saying that he was wooden would be an insult to trees it's hard to fault robert in almost anything he does but the odds were against even him in this one especially since he was for some reason required to adopt a london accent br br a complete,negative +why take a perfectly good original drama based on a perfectly good novel and remake it as a quasi musical and cast it with actors exclusively lacking in singing or dancing talent somewhat akin to or the two most recent star wars films lost horizon is full of unintentional laughs who can forget sir john gielgud smiling in his outfit an dance to the party family br br or sally lovingly to george kennedy doing her best cher impression as she from one rock to another every little thing you do and my favourite bobby van the strength of america's education system question me an answer i can't wait for the dvd release as hopefully it will contain comments by who will finally explain what she was thinking when she agreed to do this film,positive +this was an interesting adaption of william shakespeare's last known solo play but in my humble opinion a terrible one tries to change the personalities of the characters for a start he makes miranda seem insane after being stuck on the island for so long is no different a mix of madness and self pity on his part i could not imagine shakespeare thinking his characters to be anything like the way them br br appearance is maybe the only thing he got right but then again i was under the impression that was a tormented monster but turns out to be an insane rambling who is constantly not as i would have imagined him makes a brief appearance naked most the time and quiet br br in fact to the point i stopped watching this awful adaption their had been so many lines cut from the play if anything i think was trying to re write shakespeare and include his own scenes most the time so much text is cut out in the first part it makes it not a shakespeare play but a load of 70's melodramatic preposterous rubbish br br an attempt to interpret this play more realistically in the end but this play was never a realistic one and it was made nothing like the text displays it to be,negative +this movie is certainly well constructed beginning and ending in the dark with focus on smith julie andrews initially the singing later the notorious spy br br it's beautiful i saw the movie about 15 years ago and watched it again recently while it was by critics in the 70's as overblown and lacking in structure among others time has them wrong blake certainly has produced a film that is almost of lyrical quality br br the film and photography julie andrews in motion and one must just buy into the premise that julie andrews is a spy whose mission has gone wrong the tepid chemistry between julie andrews and rock hudson one must believe that these are lovers who in all innocence fall for each other and in the end love is far more important than winning wars and so is maintaining innocence br br there is a lot of understated acting and the film certainly reaches emotional depths often not seen in comedies br br there are wonderful comedic elements the french in victor victoria interesting reminding me of the seed seen about 18 years ago and a general sense of good will br br suspend all disbelief and this movie will carry you away julie out of war songs and the haunting away the are reason enough to turn the tv on just for the soundtrack and the number like the number in star works br br this film has like a good aged well paramount should bring it to dvd as soon as possible the same applies to the laser of star to dvd these are both interesting pieces of julie and then underrated works,positive +two redeeming qualities of this film were the and a storyline that was hard to resist however the script the direction and some scenes were just awful i kept asking myself why such a good cast would have produced such a bad movie my only conclusion was that these actors must believe in the charity which the plot of the movie but knew the movie was filled with flaws br br this film could have been so much better and reached a larger audience what makes me think this is that with all of the problems of the film some scenes being painfully bad to watch i still wanted to see how the obvious conclusion would resolve itself,negative +this is the only thing i will be able to look back on from the year 2006 and say now that it hard and yet it also tasty mr added a nice little touch to this dish of a film before the opening credits even rolled now that tells you something this filmed even before it started now i don't want to give to much away or be a spoiler but this movie if you have heard the new album and thought to yourself this seems a bit material it is like i a merely playing with satan what gives then this movie will elevate your appreciation for the music and you will marvel at this steamy satanic masterpiece for those who would want it better do not know what they want because better would no longer be the d this movie is the d period so venture if you dare to the local viewing theater if you to want to have your,positive +i watch this movie every time it plays on tv a simply brilliant film three men return home from war and try to return to life with great difficulty all three led opposite lives during the war executive became an army a jerk became an air force captain and the high school football hero loses both his arms in battle and now each must his life and connect with a new reality the homes they return to with grown children and independent working women along with a depressed economy only add to the it's the scenes just off camera and the dialog which the most however the awkward of march and myrna loy and his struggle to return to his place as leader both at home and at work are heartbreaking br br dana andrews is riveting as the handsome captain who struggles to keep his life together without the uniform br br the film is filled with honest characters and each is portrayed by a gifted actor br br this film however took on a whole other level after seeing saving private ryan the reality and of what these men lived through for love and country and obviously it didn't end on the battlefield br br this is an essential for any collection br br,positive +had lived through world war two and saw what its effects it had on his people in japan but so did novelist whose book was the inspiration for film fires on the plain it's a film about the men in this war or perhaps more universally in wars in general who lose their humanity the soldiers along through these fields and of the in this story are almost completely without hope if not already just that it makes platoon look like a at least they had certain things like food after all br br they have little to no or supplies or no back up no sense of anything going their way in this combat that they've been thrust into they can't even get some proper hospital care unless if they can no longer walk at all or have lost limbs for example say if you have you're on your way but its really through the of one soldier a private that we get a full sense of the of war both in its bleak scenes of and boredom and and those flashes of intense and brutal violence br br in the film just wants to get some medical care this is right at the start and his told by his superior officer already he is with eyes that stare off and an expression that has been by years of battle that he will die if he doesn't find a hospital he doesn't really but does end up in with some soldiers at first with a platoon that seems to sort of have their act together but is really led on by a power hungry who just wants of salt and then later with two other stray soldiers who are part of a group that had previously been while crossing a road at night br br the story isn't entirely a straight line but it doesn't need to be path in fires on the plain is told in vignettes little stories like when he comes upon a seemingly deserted enemy village two of the comes back to get some supplies and up on them it's an excruciating scene since so far with we haven't seen him do anything outright wrong but he does so in this scene not even so much out of evil but out of fear and desperation this is also without spoiling it how he gets a of salt little scenes build up so brilliantly and with like a simple task of finding a pair of shoes which there seem to be none or when later in the film discovers his teeth are becoming torn apart and falling out from lack of total so much for food so it goes br br it should also be mentioned that this is a realized film from shot in a stark black and white view of the fields and woods the cinematography filling everything we see in black blacks and white hot white also makes sure to get everything authentic from his actors not simply emotionally but with their own look and looks of desperation right on them it's as if has to have them all surviving the film as well as characters surviving out in the wild by wild by the way i mean also the shock of this is two first is the way that a soldier says half early on about eating other soldiers to who asks if it was true and only in response getting a don't ask word of caution and the second with the depiction of itself from the crazy starving man on the hill who pulls out guts out of his lap and says with a straight face to our hero that you can eat me when i die br br this makes thing especially more brutal when it comes to the director filming the brief scenes these are i would argue more brutal than in their depictions of violence in battle the carnage that is completely random a scene i would point to and that contains just a shot that is excruciating to watch is when from a high angle we see a group of about twenty soldiers walking slowly along a of comes that kills only four or five but it just happens so fast and the soldiers just keep walking along at the same crawl this isn't the only shot of horrible carnage that's shown when needing to be bloody its there but across the screen like something completely of the macabre but it drives the point completely br br all of the acting is especially who looks to be both most at peace and most horrified by what he sees in the of looks most of the time all of the major set pieces provide something else to the gruesome experience and it all amounts to the ultimate question with an anti war film how can or why do people fight in wars like these it's almost too depressing to put into words and so pushes our right up into the and filth and blood and demands for us to take it in so maybe some day it will never happen again or one can hope this by the end of such a bleak and great film as this,positive +seriously reality charity tv these producers must think that the masses are full of non br br these shows are called reality which means they are suppose to resemble something real with truth or facts br br i suppose the characters are really acting in all the pathetic br br at one point i wonder if these type of shows or increase the collective br br we live in a world that already contains individuals that are not authentic br br is it necessary to promote an way of being,negative +cool action yeah the premise has been done but not this way that's the trick hey folks shock it's an x file br br to me it's cool that have almost no scenes together they have to adapt rely on each other's sense about what's really going on and each other's adaptation skills they read into each other's moves and get the job done sort of br br oh yeah really good acting do these people get paid to do this or a slow day when the store doesn't call them into work hey duchovny where's the day old malcolm get to school,positive +i came across this movie in an australian hotel room at 3 am my brother and i were channel surfing and who do we

hilarious stories of odd sexual experiences including a slick salesman prostitutes and an unusual sexy mother if you are lucky enough to come across this film i would strongly suggest picking it up i have to say this movie was amazingly entertaining and i thank the fine people of australia making it,positive +it might be that the film i saw was entirely different from the one that the others saw however as the actors are the same i can only think that the cut i saw in europe from the one in the us br br anyway this was the worst movie that i saw the past five years closely followed by the br br why because in my opinion this director has taken elements from every thriller this one mixed them put the in the wrong order with the wrong music and published it br br examples nothing the music gets scary and still nothing the grumpy officer us grumpy in a way that would let the actor any acting class a buddy moment which comes out of nowhere at the end an scene and in the next scene all the problems are gone br br if you want to see a smart movie see if you want to see a better thriller see any thriller that comes to mind if you want to see patrick see dirty dancing,negative +the moon is

and parker to be sure the man with the golden arm has lost much of its impact in the 50 or more years but it still ranks as a landmark film,positive +as horror films go rest stop could have been better in many levels director writer john shows he probably had the best intentions when he started it unfortunately either he was not sure as to what to do with the material or maybe he was under pressure to deliver a different movie from what he intended either by the studio or the several endings have been included in the dvd but unfortunately the one chosen for the finished product is probably not the best br br the idea of a psycho the back roads of a remote part of california presents many possibilities at first after the disappearance of jess in the spooky rest stop things get out of hand poor nicole is left alone to for herself all the she finds along the way br br it was clear when one started to hear amazing grace in the background that there were forces trying to avenge the ways in which nicole an jess their neck of the woods by engaging in sex that is not well appreciated by the natives br br watch it at your own risk there's a lot of gore for the of the genre,negative +movies like this make me wonder what modern horror would be like if someone had mercifully for movie fans put an end to m night inside the this garbage is a prime example of what kind of lame random uninspired last minute generic plot twists have become the norm since movies like the sixth sense and the others were released this was an okay movie until the writers took a dump all over whatever of the mediocre script they had written and decided hey here's an interesting idea lets throw in a wacky twist at the end and make the main character the murderer that'll throw the audience for a loop what an original idea,negative +film is a genre that requires a certain level of intellect and imagery this movie has none of that though they really tried hard with the imagery br br it's the kind of movie that your cousin the dump truck driver who's always talking about how he's going to make it big in the movies someday would make br br the dialogue is wooden and lifeless the visuals while obviously expensive to make are the work of a director who has tried to be clever and failed miserably due to a severe lack in cerebral ability the acting from sub par to just plain bad the story might have been by a real writer and director but i suspect that such people would not have touched it with a pole br br about 1 4 of the way through i noticed striking similarities with the scene in where desperate to be rid of his actress makes the world's worst movie i figured i'd check imdb to see if a similar effect has occurred in this movie and to my surprise it has i'd almost be tempted to give a 2 out of 10 just because it's exposed the pretentious but i won't it's that bad,negative +the is one of the worst spoofs i have ever seen for one main reason it isn't funny i laughed a handful of times the acting is bad the script is worse and why those guys had baby in their hair i will never know and you can tell this didn't have much of a budget to work with and it openly hurts the film they had a good idea going in some parts but it never really came to past and what was the point about the lead being older than his dad 3 out of 10,negative +a coming of age story about a teenager against the church and her minister father in a small norwegian village the countryside setting is but the story is rather pretentious and plodding with much of the film devoted to it's like watching a religious propaganda movie who has made only one other movie is pretty good as the sensitive young protagonist as are as her strict father and as a woman that is fascinated with the film aims to be fresh and charming but feels rather stale and tired director and co writer who has worked mostly in tv is not up to the task,negative +80's sleazy rock is like 90's house music or current it's boring and has no ideas or ideals the only thing that makes it a bit nowadays is that it's a long time ago so we can laugh at its too bad has no laughs at all as it must be one of the most boring movies of recent years br br chris mark is singer of a steel dragon tribute band when he's kicked of the band at the same time the real steel dragon singer is kicked of as well he becomes the next lead singer you already know how this is gonna end up at that time with chris losing it with sex drugs and r r and forgetting about his long time girlfriend manager emily jennifer aniston br br there's way too much boring music in this standard formula packed excuse for a movie and should be avoided for it at all cost watch the over rated but still more fun almost famous instead or even better a movie about real people playing real music having real emotions that thing you do br br what a stinker 2 10,negative +came across this film recently after so long hearing about it it is an excellent not pretentious movie for people who loves film noir literature and films not camp but humorous br br great cast from the magnificent carla and emma thompson to german superstar this movie is a feast for the eyes alan is very funny as the antagonist of gang would love to see spin off movie with this character and emma thompson solving cases and arguments between them all the time much like tracy and hepburn etc br br intelligent story nice twists and scope photography don't watch unless it is scope because compositions are very rich br br sexy sexy sexy and very fun time br br best use of just like heaven by the cure ever must see to believe br br,positive +as you can tell from the other comments this movie is just about the worst film ever made let me see how many different words i can use to describe it boring unbearable laughable lousy stupid horrible br br i could go on with such but you probably get the point br br i would have given this a 0 if possible bad acting bad directing bad production bad plot br br this was made in 2001 and it looks more like 1965 very low budget boring plot horrible acting really bad special effects etc br br i rarely ever see a sci fi film i absolutely think is this bad i mean this is pure garbage it has nothing going for it either as far as a b movie this is the very bottom of the lot br br i think i would be more entertained by staring at a blank piece of paper for 90 minutes junk like this gives good low budget b movies a bad name this makes ed wood movies look good br br the thing about watching direct to video movies is just when you think you've seen the worst you see something even worse br br dj perry is a horrible actor and has no individual characteristics that make him stand out br br avoid this waste at all costs oh the humanity,negative +the limited scenery views were the only saving grace to an otherwise and boring movie the acting was borderline absurd which i blame on the script and screenplay nicole didn't look the part didn't act the part and was totally unconvincing as a mountain guide after watching this i was left with the feeling that some friends had some free time and decided to make a movie it must have been produced on a budget of pocket change the plot was thin at best and with the low caliber of acting at times it the question to be asked why are we doing this i managed to sit through the entire movie but also asked myself why,negative +this film is a cash in a cash in on a rousing theme tune created for an earlier classic has long since jumped ship and so have most of the production values lee van takes over the lead role of chris i can't think of any actor who looks less like than van hey he could have at least off his hair and lost the just for the sake of continuity some show this movie in order to one step out of line and the magnificent seven ride is brought to the and they didn't even bother trying to make this movie not look like a tv movie abysmal,negative +if had been a hack he would have directed mother and son instead of mirror this is the single most pretentious film made anywhere in the world i am convinced a son without a name takes care of his mother without a name they love each other i guess no they don't i'm sure these aren't characters they aren't even actors playing characters at least it could be pretty but even the nature seems ridiculously touched up and changed wherever it was necessary with a computer and could have come up with a technique as hackneyed as a distorted aspect you would have to have been born yesterday to buy this garbage 1 10,negative +this show makes absolutely no sense every week two ladies go to an estate to do some and every week without fail they somehow stumble upon a murder because everyone who owns a big house with a large garden is involved in a murder right but even if they did somehow happen to stumble upon murder after murder wouldn't the smart thing to do be to tell the police you know the people who can actually do something about it but every week these two fools go around evidence committing crimes of their own and in some cases causing more murders once they do miraculously solve the murders there is no way the murderer could ever be convicted all the evidence has been and you'd think people who are covering up murders would think not to hire these two wouldn't you we've solved the murder now like every other week let's go and confront the murderer ourselves and with no back up tell them that we know about it there is no way we could get ourselves into any danger is there and is one of the worst shows on television and certainly the most ridiculous,negative +i can only assume the previous came from at the production company br br attended the uk premiere last night zane and attended they probably knew i was gonna be there and are undoubtedly stars but what a turkey of a film i felt sorry for them at times when the audience in laughter at what were serious scenes br br but perhaps i was missing the point perhaps an element of tongue in cheek was intended if so pure genius if not career br br on the plus side zane always shines and can actually act a little as the other half said as we ran out the cinema broken they can be forgiven for this film as they both seem like nice people the scriptwriter however should be,negative +because i would have never ever seen this movie through to the end although there are some but not many funny moments in this movie i couldn't understand more than about 15 the fancy english couple in the 3rd story included of what people were saying three short stories none with a real point with just some of the most miserable and lifeless people i could have imagined and a load of foul language didn't find it funny didn't find it amusing didn't find any sense in it 4 10,negative +an amazing piece of film that was well conceived and kept me on the edge of my seat brilliantly in its timing and the comedy kicked in exactly when the tension needed a release the acting was generally well done the director should've asked alec guinness for acting lessons and the shot were impressive as in the hall as billy tries to race to the door in the studio this movie didn't let up since the opening scene,positive +i can't comment on the accuracy of this production historical or literary but i can say that i enjoyed it if there is a god the sound track will be released work is truly enduring twenty years on i am still moved by the haunting themes of this production and return to it frequently br br the story the entry into society of catherine somewhat awkward and possessed of an interest in gothic stories early pulp fiction catherine on bath in the company of mrs allen where she meets henry she is invited to visit the at the seat of the and somewhat challenged general who has the unfortunate that there is wealth br br where mutual attraction mixes with family is inevitable this coupled with vivid imagination leads her to fear for her safety her eventual departure is marred by and counter of deception and br br but the attraction between catherine and henry stands these trials he returns to provide a happy ending this final scene is especially compelling given the incidental music of br br it may well be a bad production from the viewpoint costumes and shaky performances not but for me it's minutes of bliss,positive +the storyline has too many flaws and illogical sequences to be worthwhile acting is pretty flat and poor is ok the rest of the cast are cardboard somehow almost everything about this film mediocrity the plot is lame the only thing i liked more or less about this film are the fairly original methods the uses to end his victims technical details are worse than the most far stretched and and halfway the movie one wonders if the director even cared about detail credibility some spoilers i mean an machine with a pure wave a man's a with full body muscle and one working finger sure a killer a man's whilst keeping him alive to allow the rats to feast on him followed by a rat aiming for the guy's face what's with all that stupidity then there are quite a few continuity goofs but you can find those elsewhere here on imdb honestly i found it a bit of an insult even to my limited intelligence br br waste of time still 4 out of 10 to keep my girlfriend from kicking me,negative +while was mildly entertaining and a slightly better way to spend a evening than the pub i did leave pleased that i had got buy one get one free tickets knowing nothing about the film as i went in in fact i didn't even know there was an animated series before i read this site i was ready for anything and as some other viewers noted the trailers showing a well filmed good looking and interesting piece of cinema had pulled me in half way through the film though i was kind of disappointed it did remind me of the fifth element but i too feel it just lacked the extra bit of depth and left me with the empty feeling and enough of the pointless and slightly boring gun fights if you're going to do them do it with some style not just loads of explosions and inept guards falling down personally i'd rather have seen a bit more about the story and the people in the city or got to know more about how the was being than yet another long and loud gun fight,negative +so funny is the perfect way to describe this 12 minutes spoof of the original star wars wars is incredibly funny it is presented as the trailer of the space epic wars the joke is this imagine star wars played by bad actors and incredibly bad special effects the characters include the boy wonder the ace and wise guy ham villain and a host of other fantastic characters it is impossible not to laugh as you watch this 12 minutes treasure it's stupid but it's fun you will laugh from the start to the end and you will feel the need to watch it again and again and again and again and you will laugh every time you see it br br 10 out of 10 the funniest 12 minutes ever made you will believe it lasted a minute,positive +this story of the troubles caused by an over and mother laura hope for her two grown sons and their girls is a strong vehicle for stellar performances by irene the new daughter in law joel the number one son eric the number two son and frances dee of number two son here's the show of the pure of mother's jealousy and run amok as four good people find their owns lives damaged their plans changed and their own identities in irene is stellar in her role joel performance is open and clear and laura hope is masterful as the mother br br yet this reviewer finds frances performance the best of all hers is the first character in the story to show the strength of her inner feelings her portrayal in her broken engagement scene is gut wrenching and even raw dee the viewer around and drives you into her pain without even showing her face br br frances dee like laura hope has been too long overlooked and is now almost forgotten as the magnificent actress that she was no actress who started in film after wwii has had anything to speak of on frances dee br br if you're lucky enough to see the silver which was never released for tv you'll find this old fashioned drawing room drama to be an outstanding film that shows very well years after its 1933 release because it is filled with superb performances,positive +it's possible to have a good time with this film while at the same time all that it isn't in the 1980s a u s tom hanks support for the soviet union br br hanks is in fellow well met form as politically incorrect charlie wilson first sharing a hot with three deeply available looking women if only the film had the same air of but apart from philip seymour turn as a cynical cia agent it tries to be perceived as patriotic too aaron trademark dialogue serves its purpose but the story is no more plausible than one of tall tales and there's an oddly subtext pals later mutated into the and other anti western groups leaving the world worse off than it was when these events occurred,positive +i own the miniseries on dvd because i love this story so much this is one of the best period pieces on the civil war that i have seen that tells a story of friendship divided by the war the costumes are great the story lines are great i love how the story jumps around from character to character to keep you guessing as to what's going to happen next in their lives there is a great balance of good and evil some of the characters that are evil in my opinion are too good not to watch every time something more despicable than the last happens i curse the tv as if they can hear me i love how this miniseries makes me feel engaged in it's drama i would advise however not to watch the third movie in the dvd series it's a let down compared to the first two movies and most of the original characters do not return i don't wish to remember how the third movie ended i prefer to live with the thoughts of the ending in the second movie it makes me happy,positive +wow fantastic film in my opinion i wasn't expecting it to be this good i was captivated from start to finish it's a very well made and educational film that really gives us a fascinating insight into the trials had to go through in order to convey his ideas to the world his life as he writes origin of the species fighting both personal demons as well as the ignorant society of the time in order to do so he struggles hard with his mind body and soul as personal matters get to breaking point and even his family seems to slip away whilst the rest of the world stand against him as he knows that his literally shake the very of their lives culture and meaning of existence it's a subtle movie not over exaggerated in any way in that typical hollywood way this is a bbc produced british film yet thankfully very powerful in meaning and this is thanks to the amazing well directed scenes as well as the superb acting by acts as more of a light supporting role but i did enjoy her in this and she's as good as to be expected as always her chemistry alongside her husband was definitely strong and endearing you could feel the connection and their real life husband wife bond definitely shines through their performances but the star of the show is definitely and he does a brilliant job a very touching performance i both understood and with him as he his own health and impending insanity to try to understand what he has and come to terms with what it all really is and means as he found his thinking his feelings and found himself losing it all including his wife who of course was a firm believer in religion and a strict christian whilst he was in the realm of science two worlds which could not see eye to eye so their relationship was at stake too br br anyway a really very good well acted emotional drama and dare i say i did shed a tear during the tragic climax which was truly heartbreaking as well as beautifully poignant and moving the film is symbolic and very intellectually artistic as well in fact i can't wait to watch it again as there was a lot to take in first time round which i missed easily one of the best films i've seen this year,positive +i can't give it less than a star i tried at this moment im not sure if im halfway through it or not but i stopped paying attention around the time part of it was revealed to be a dream or not or maybe it was i think viewers who posted a comment that didn't include the horrible or awful or made me want to swallow a bullet are probably being nice because it is an indie film don't listen to them listen to me there is no nudity in the movie skip it i needed ten lines to submit this warning so i will also say that the girl that some users have described as hot is fat she has fat elephant legs,negative +night of the hunted stars french porn star in fact many of the cast members in this slow moving production were porn actors at the time of its frantic filming this film is certainly different than usual lesbian vampire flicks but it's not as memorable as for example lips of blood or fascination plays an who can't remember who she is or where she came from most of the film takes place in a modern apartment complex where is being held by some kind of medical group that's treating a number of people with a similar condition anyway she escapes from the office tower where the affected people are held on a highway outside of town she meets a young man who stops and picks her up night of the hunted offers plenty of nudity unfortunately the pace is extremely slow the atmosphere is horribly sad and the relationship between and another asylum is well developed still night of the hunted is too dull to be completely enjoyable give it a look only if you are a fan of jean works 7 out of 10 and that's being kind,positive +i rate movies on this site all the time but i don't normally write comments however in this case i felt compelled to warn others this movie is bad it's probably one of only a dozen movies i have scored as awful ' i know people say this all the time but this truly was one of the worst movies i have ever seen it's easily on the bottom ten anyway br br when it comes to horror movies i have very low standards i'll overlook all sorts of shoddy film making for a good scare but this movie is embarrassingly bad it looks someone bought a video camera at and decided to make a movie with his buddies the fact that every single crew name appears in the cast list proves this theory i think this movie has lower production standards than your average high school play it's actually a little shocking to see a movie that looks this bad released on dvd the special effects are somewhat effective at times but are still amateurish at best the best thing that can be said about the actors is that at least they remember no to look into the camera most of the time i can't say for certain if they struggling to remember their lines or making them up as they went along any and all attempts at humor are lame this movie is such a waste of time,negative +a wealthy young man raised as a son of the gods must confront his chinese while living in a white world br br although the premise upon which this film is based is almost certainly a and the secret of the plot when revealed at the movie's conclusion makes all which has it ludicrous the story still serves up some decent entertainment and good acting br br richard has the title role as the sweet natured oriental whose life is terribly complicated because he looks keeps the tone of his performance serious throughout into the middle distance a he developed during silent days whenever his character is he makes no attempt to his classic performance in d w broken and this is to his credit beautiful bennett is the daughter who makes miserable she is gorgeous as always but her behavior does not her to the viewer and her terrible illness in the final reel is kept mercifully off screen br br multi talented frank has a small role as buddy e warren and play the leading very different fathers while claude king his brief appearance as the english author who befriends br br movie will recognize little moore uncredited playing as a tiny child br br the original technicolor of the flashback sequence has faded with time to a the shot to be the south of france instead looks like on santa island off the coast of southern california,positive +the true story of who became a national hero in india because she fought for her rights as a woman but in a violent manner i was surprised to see a powerful film with strong images come out of india instead of the bollywood art trash classics they out,positive +but you can see it from here br br i definitely don't understand why anyone would recommend this movie not a bit of plot not suspenseful not well made no point to having made it really br br completely forgettable in ever way,negative +too bad mike meyers picked this for his dramatic debut this film looks like it was put together by a that couldn't decide if it was a comedy drama suspense or sci fi it starts out sort of playful then quickly gets darker and then at the end apparently shortly after one of the main characters has been killed the whole family is standing in the backyard laughing about something it's totally weird and impossible to string together the acting is extremely uneven with the older professionals engaging your attention and then the younger and less experienced actors looking like they are in a high school play this movie showed me that it's probably harder to make a good movie than is evident from the truly professional fare we see in the first run and art houses this would be a good film for a film class to analyze plot character theme they are all either or missing from this film,negative +night hunter is a sold b style action movie get a life and grow up people don the dragon wilson is a kick boxer hall of fame and not an actor if your looking for an oscar it's not here brother looking for kick ass action movie with lower then low budget this is it the plot line may have been a little thin but what b movie isn't i understand everybody is a critic and how one man's junk is another man's treasure get real people judging every movie like it is an oscar just silly awesome fight scenes mixed with a new twist on vampire moves see it if your a fan rent something else if your a,positive +k made the much better in 1998 this film is an awful remake of the wedding singer br br basically in short the film consists of salman khan who in those days used to have the role of a lover who his girl and also he had his comic scenes where he badly even today he does well he does it all here too and also his shirt in scenes br br jackie wasted bored and tired his role is so stupid he is shown as a lover of then in 1 scene he is shown as a br br kumar confusing characterization again br br boring overweight and does nothing special tall fair and actress worthy but lacks talent br br shah says a as if a poetry br br poor fellow the 2 kids were awful too br br the story is the same and has awful comic scenes a sudden love story and boring drunken scenes plus a forced comic track of kapoor br br direction is poor music is decent br br salman khan just goes through the motions jackie is bad is as usual is bad and are nothing great is awful,negative +goof factual error br br when charlie walks out of the room to commit suicide he takes his gun with a after a few seconds we hear a loud bang from the same gun being fired,positive +some movies you'll watch because they touch your soul or challenge you in ways that grow br br some you'll watch because you want to be exposed to adventure or shock outside your experience these won't directly feed you but they'll help you yourself in a larger world than you otherwise would have and after all the hard parts of life are in what you choose not to accept br br and then there are movies that do neither of these things that you will watch out of or because you have a need for historical context these are pretty worthless experiences in terms of building a life br br the problem is of course that often you don't know which of the three a film will be going in you might get some indication from people you trust but because a life in film is so personal you really won't know until you go on the blind date br br for me this was pretty worthless yes yes i know for many is the epitome of the sublime and rich and you should know if you don't that among my greatest film experiences are some very strange films very strange indeed br br it isn't that this isn't cinematic or deep or politically friendly to the way i think its how it gets there that is off base its the from real that me br br part of the problem is that this is successful alternative art which means that it is successful commercial art which in turn means that it can be simply explained and the explanation is not only widely acceptable but simply in surely all this is true br br when the term surreal is used generally it is used to any film image or world that from reality or seems strange but when it is used correctly meaning according to theory it always revolves around and in particular this film and the one he genuinely did with so because they invented surreal cinema they define and control the term that by itself me and i have my own alternative definition that doesn't come from their philosophy br br its because the philosophy is wholly contrary it isn't a philosophy at all but a of philosophy an anti order its carefully the things that they use and the things they without clearly them br br so okay against against narrative against history against religion an easy one against deliberate love but for an linear narrative for establishing its own history celebrated by countless film school what else can they do for a sort of accidental love br br it is its own enemy if there were a alive today as he sold his image the first thing he would do is attack the church or the surreal br br my regular readers know that in nearly all matters cinematic i to the spanish and avoid the french but in the matter of the surreal i'd like to you consider the reverse get your from alfred not br br ted's 2 of 3 has some interesting elements,negative +the gate to hell has opened up under a priest played by vincent goes to the city to find a friend who has gone missing in the under the city in an attempt to find the wandering around underground he and his colleagues have to deal with the inhabitants both human and demonic good idea with a good cast of second actors goes nowhere much like the that are its setting i've watched this twice now and i still have no idea why this is suppose to be scary when not a heck of a lot happens other then people talk about the evil and we see shadow forms nothing is clear and honestly i didn't see the point of it all other than provide a pay check for those involved second billed val kilmer is in a couple of fleeting scenes that don't amount to much other than to allow him to be billed as in the film the idea is really good the performances are fine the script goes nowhere take the advice of several of the characters in the film and don't cross the river to see this,negative +without john rhys davies i have to admit that this would never even register on my movie but in spite of that single fact this is not a bad little thriller considering the low budget the low quality effects the stiff acting and the sci fi channel aspects the blood effects are very convincing and the actually looks realistic regardless of what you think a looks like this is one good looking br br aside from the this runs kind of like kolchak the night stalker darren remember meets the love boat but in spite of the ultimate cheese of this work it still holds something resembling a plot and actually attempts to gain your respect while making you laugh and roll your eyes br br as conflicted as this work is i still managed to find some enjoyment maybe you will too br br it rates a 5 2 10 on the made 4 tv scale br br it rates a 4 1 10 on the movie scale from br br the fiend,negative +hands down the best drama comedy show on television a cleverly written show about a young mother and her 16 year old daughter exploring life and finding things out not only about the world but themselves too lauren graham struggles to find a way to remain in close bond with her daughter but steer her in the right path which through out the show is becoming harder and harder caught in a world of books and learning is just beginning to discover boys and her own sense of which surprises them both with the help of luke danes scott and st james melissa mccarthy and an enormous variety of other hilarious characters this show easily remains one of my favorites what really puts the show over the top is the complex yet incredible and witty writing often using references from pop culture to the,positive +when i first saw this show i thought to my self what is this its one of those shows where there is a perfect fake high school world with stupid problems that are considered huge then there's this complete for her friends and well her family completely obsessed with nature not that thats a bad thing but she high school students to animals like what is that also they made her another clone yeah because the world definitely needs another one of those also very perfect like most tv girls are which makes me sick so please this is a stupid show it makes no sense just skip it unless you liked or any other shows like that,negative +i cannot believe it has been 25 since i first watched this story on tv i remembered to have been very much touched by it and was lucky to get the vhs tape several years ago i did not watch it again until just recently i have been watched it over and over ever since i must have watched it 10 times in the past 2 br br the acting is superb the story is compelling and i am embarrassed to say that i did not appreciate actor bryan talent until now the playful facial expressions shown in the first half when he gave jean the stolen medicine in is such a contrast to his very reserved and nervous body languages shown in the second half in their first drink together in and the of the we have to wait until the wedding reception especially the final dance scene to see his open display of affection for jean the same dancing eyes that first revealed his admiration in who wouldn't want to be his mrs br br while joe changed from a cocky almost bigger than life figure in the jungle to a somewhat self conscious average joe in his own backyard jean took the opposite road her wartime experience seems to have given her new confidence she wasted no time and went after what she wanted she took steps to take what she could get exactly as joe had told her to once upon a time br br for me all these helps to show this is more than just a love story this is a story about growth courage and in life the is both a sweet and sad figure he too gave much to jean he gave his last hope for love at the end he did what true love requires he put her happiness ahead of his own br br i happened to like the fight between joe jean that was not in the book i thought it's an appropriate and necessary addition for it helped to surface the inner struggles they both had to deal with in order to make their life together possible br br now i am older maybe i understand life love and loss a little better this story touches me even deeper br br i am however surprised to see b brown has blue eyes in the photo shown on this site he most definitely did not in a town like alice well 25 is a long time,positive +did and make this movie it is just that bad truly an uneven and unfair portrayal of bad vs good in the wine world did you notice the filmmaker trying any of the from the featured of individual and the camera work is at best while the content may put you to sleep before long this is not insightful what i got from this movie was that the filmmaker was trying hard to make a point about the of wine by showing for example that the family owned in all parts of the world okay that is a good start so how do these compare does the cab taste like their italian we never find out because no one in the film comments on this instead there is a lot of innuendo about and well those things don't grow,negative +this movie shocked me it was so realistic and the story was incredible touching they talk german and russian which makes it more believable and real this is a must see movie the actors are great too really a good piece of work the plot takes place within a german in wwii they have to go to to fight against the you get more connected with every soldier in this group and follow them through all the as they get captured within they get face to face with death blood grief and the of russia this is a must see movie and you cant afford not to see it,positive +joe is one of those movies where although you think that it might go along smoothly ends up hitting you like i can't come up with an it showed not only that america's long standing idea of was but also the various aspects within our society melissa susan sarandon is the ultimate flower child while her father bill dennis patrick is a clean cut executive one day bill accidentally kills boyfriend in the immediate aftermath bill gets with joe peter boyle an ultra right wing racist working stiff as a result the two of them end up more and more with the hippies whom bill finds unpleasant and joe outright hates but in the end everything has dead serious consequences br br true some parts of the movie are a little bit dated but it's a good of america's two sides during the

sutherland and potent support roles from donald and david the material decides to keep it all and moves from the investigation period into the back story of the victim the seldom and quite nature of investigation pulled me in but when it flashback to the side showing her final days weren't as compelling and became somewhat and stock like while the script is strongly detailed and to a certain degree complex in us along however the final and surprising revelation should have been more bone jarring and it's not helped out by its sloppy execution howard music score has an emotional to its

life thug who along with his equally despicable partner in crime some escaped several teenagers and a bunch of screaming girls comes face to face with a of flesh eating corpses br br obviously having about his craft in the two years since zombie bloodbath sheets delivers another shoddy mess of a film that somehow manages to be even worse than the feat that i thought was almost impossible to achieve the acting is uniformly lousy the effects amateurish and cheap most of the gore appears to be nothing more than a selection of and blood from the local shop the story incomprehensible as far as i could the zombies rise from the dead because a scarecrow them to and the direction laden with cheap looking video effects and completely meaningless cuts to black and white br br and as if that wasn't enough to convince you of this film's complete lack of redeeming features the simply mind moronic ending should do the trick the few remaining survivors stumble upon an abandoned truck that conveniently happens to have a of flesh eating laying on its passenger the thing for the undead but strangely enough not at all to the living,negative +what i enjoyed most in this film was the scenery of being greek i adore my country and i liked the director's point of view based on a true story during the years when was struggling to stand on her own two feet through war nazis and an italian soldier and a greek girl fall in love but the times are hard and they have a lot of sacrifices to make nicholas cage looking great in a uniform gives a passionate account of this in the beginning love

opportunity to the played by ruth who's currently experiencing a career comeback with appearances in the hit bbc comedy little britain chief what the entertainment staff were called because of their

about people sitting on and about with big were the order of the day but despite it's of carry on it was always so innocent and became something of recommended family viewing back in the 80's of course the critics of the show that the show had it's welcome by a good couple of years but i disagree while the early seasons focused mainly on and slapstick humour the latter series of hi de hi saw more thought put into the scripts and the main characters especially spike dixon were able to grow with more sensitive story lines that said there were a few criticisms of the show clive was no jeffrey and the former didn't quite have the on screen chemistry with as jeffrey did i personally think it would've been more believable if had married jeff five seasons dedicated to 1959 and four to 1960 caused more than just a few continuity errors the disappearance of old faces and of new characters weren't explained properly especially with the who came and went with much and the character of who in the pilot episode was made out to be a free loving man eater that was suddenly transformed into a naive virgin like character also to mention quite most of the 1959 holiday season was covered in season one so to stretch the rest of the year out in five further series was something unbelievable still the show wasn't meant to be looked upon and the comedy more than it's flaws br br all in all hi de hi was probably one of the last comedies from the golden period and even if it never managed to rival such british comedic as only fools horses or even last of the summer wine hi de hi will

film rebecca based upon daphne lush novel of gothic romance and intrigue he returned to some of the more familiar themes of his early british period mistaken identity and espionage as the u s settled into world war ii and the large scale of civilians building planes and other necessary the film entertainment business began turning out paranoid and often thrillers with war time themes these thrillers often involved networks of and skilled at work in the shadows among the good law citizens knowing the director was at home in this espionage genre producer jack approached hitchcock about directing a property he owned that dealt with corruption war time and a helpless hero thrust into a of coincidence and mistaken identity the darker elements of the narrative and the sharp wit of literary dorothy parker during her brief in hollywood before returning to her roots in nyc who co the script were a perfect match for hitchcock's sensibilities br br this often neglected film tells the story of the unfortunate 25 year old barry kane robert who while at work at a los angeles airplane factory meets new employee frank frye norman and moments later is framed for committing fleeing the authorities who don't believe his far fetched story he meets several characters on his way to city and finally new york city these memorable characters include a circus with a car full of helpful and a popular model patricia martin lane who during the worst crisis of his life as well as national security he falls in love with of course in the land of hitchcock patricia kidnapped by the supposed barry falls for her thus adding romantic tension to the mix br br in good form for this outing hitchcock a national network of old ladies average and respectable who double as secret agent

life like nyc tourist all of which were by art directors in hollywood due to the war time on public while may not be one of hitchcock's most well known films it's a popular b movie that is certainly solid and engaging with plenty of clever plot twists and as usual terrific hitchcock villains remember to look for hitchcock's cameo appearance outside a drug store in the second half of the film hitchcock's original cameo idea that was shot him fighting in sign language with his wife was by the of standards and practices who were afraid of the deaf,positive +in the line of fire gives us a great game of cat and mouse clint eastwood is plagued by john in this riveting film says he's going to kill the president and he calls eastwood and pushes his buttons he questions eastwood's ability to protect someone brings a cold but very intelligent mindset to his character everything he does he does for a reason and he's not shy about killing eastwood has to overcome the of his superiors in order to catch but no one wants to listen to him the result is a film that with suspense that to a tense scene in a ballroom at the hotel peterson up the tension and we feel every turn,positive +saw the film at it's lawrence kansas premiere this story about a group of disgruntled killing off the competition for prom queen was just awful it fails for many reasons bad acting bad script no clear point but mainly it just felt like the filmmakers said to themselves hey i have some money so let's make a movie without really thinking it out most indie films that don't make it suffer from just that mentality they just don't seem to realize that it takes more than money to make a good movie or in this case even a watchable one with this film i do not feel ashamed to say that if i didn't know some of the crew i would have walked out simple as that,negative +may contain spoilers br br clearly who ever made this film must have had a lot of connections i just can't see it any other way what really surprises me is no one used the name allen and more surprising everyone involved didn't use this name br br anyhow where to begin the bad dialogue the crummy costumes the sorry looking film stock the unintentional comedy the over the top characters and more inconsistencies than george w college career i don't know what was funnier the guy losing his arm because of a or the slow motion scene where all the baby jack were getting killed also one of the great lines of all time was in this film how do we know it's him like there's another mutant snowman who can talk and kill people with a great camp film but a very bad film overall,negative +i believe the reason this movie did not get the recognition it deserves is because of the many of pro and con i would say the real man is depicted here without he is what he is although the movie is but a of the man the technique of storytelling expanded his life far beyond the years touched on in the movie this is deep movie a of modern life and the way we think and can a study into the man whose thoughts and other who used him have certainly affected our lives there are some movies that the historical context is so great that it is the primary job of the actors to stay out of the way the history carried the day and the actors did their job good work to them i say,positive +more entertaining than all the gay in 300 combined more heartbreaking than a tragedy more poetic than even the most melodramatic about lost love and blah blah blah and on top of all that the greatest trash ever made br br a black comedy testing the limits of the human senses john cult movie pink is a story about the conflict between two families that ends in death and of course the eating of dog yeah by the way that is not actually the part no no this is not about the impossible love there are no or on these 90 or so minutes this movie is about the battle for if you could call it that the battle for the title person alive br br on one side we have divine played by the cross dressing waters regular divine a caring daughter good mother cannibal murderer and current owner of said title she loves her son a bit way too much himself sports a sexual attraction to both and young ladies sometimes mixing them up in family friend and loyal gets her satisfaction from watching during some of his acts involving the mentioned earlier objects of attraction last but not least mother and grandmother to edie a 400 hundred pound woman sleeping eating and basically living in a baby cradle she is addicted to eggs and loves the egg man the man who brings the eggs lol br br the four of them live in a outside the city until the moment when they become a target for the very evil people actually their main source of comes from the kidnapping and of young women for the part they use their trusted and loyal cross dressing butler to provide the after that they sale the child to the highest br br it was the envy towards divine and her title that will lead to an inevitable confrontation between the two families an epic battle of filth and violence br br pink is an masterpiece in the trash movie genre loaded with and strange acts john movie is and hated by critics and the average movie going audience but for the few that remain by these the is an unforgettable experience funny and sick violent and poetic it truly is an exercise in poor taste,positive +i recently had the pleasure of meeting mr at the 2005 film festival for the u s of this film not only was he enough to my copy of blade runner he took the time to answer some questions about the film before screening the room for a packed theatre br br i was so impressed by the film that i used it as the by which to compare all other films i had seen at the festival it was powerful and moving yet subtle and brief the film tells the story of how a young man older version played by one day finds himself by a seemingly ordinary room in an building near the street walking by he notices a single window always open from which a haunting melody can be heard each day he passes by the room sometimes standing for hours outside watching it through the that in the light hoping to get a glimpse of its towards the end of the film we find out how significant this room really is and what has drawn our protagonist to it br br the film was cut beautifully not a second of screen time was wasted on an uninteresting shot any single frame from the film could stand alone in an art gallery is amazing he is mysterious yet his dialogue a series of on a life that has run it's course for better or worse his words familiar feelings and thoughts from the audience i was particularly moved by a scene in which he is looking at some old photos remembering his favourite dog his favourite horse and his first love you get the feeling that you are in his presence as he allows you into his world to glimpse precious memories of a life that is its end br br i loved this film and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for something fresh intelligent and moving should be required viewing for all film,positive +this move is terrible they took gods word and made a mockery of it the acting was terrible too why bother doing a story on something from the bible when your not even going to tell it correctly there were not just a few changes but the whole thing was wrong do not see this movie,negative +this movie has got to be about one of the worst i have ever seen the humor was crude hardly funny and been heard a million times before the start was noting special and it got worse and worse as it went on i got about halfway through and couldn't stand to watch any more of it luckily i was only watching it on tv so it didn't cost anything but i seriously recommend you do not waste you time or your money br br nothing in the movie was new the characters were not at all developed i actually think it would have been better as a little kids movie in that it was full of stupid unrealistic funny events occurring thats like what happens in home alone or something not to imply home alone was in any way as terrible as this,negative +i can't remember the last time a movie was so boring that i walked out the and the island were both so bad that i thought about it but i even stayed to the end in those this movie was incomprehensible not funny and just went on and on and on like some other i wondered if parts were just french humor that i didn't get or if the characters were serious i finally just gave up and tried because i didn't want to my husband if he was enjoying it but he noticed and let me know that it was okay if i wanted to leave and out the door we went he would like to know how it ended if lived or died etc i don't even care,negative +not all films made in 1931 are this and the fact that this was best picture must have given even greater to the development of television br br typical of all novels it isn't possible to bring the entire story to the screen to say nothing of developing character so in the first third of the movie does an about face but no one knows why and it makes no sense and what is there about dunne that makes makes her so may scenes are priceless as usual br br this film has a role to play in the history of cinema but it is long and boring,negative +as a semi film buff i had heard of this infamous movie a long time ago i had heard that it was basically a 15 million dollar film about the rule of the roman emperor complete with hard core pornography what struck me was that it was a porno movie yet it had great like peter o'toole john malcolm mcdowell and in it a week ago i saw a documentary about on the history channel and this film came back into my head and finally my got the best of me i rented the dvd and even more watched it br br within the first 30 minutes i was seeing acts of sex and especially violence that would earn an 17 even by todays standards was it really necessary to have a scene of a man having his track closed and then have of wine into him and then have his stomach cut with a sword all in very graphic detail and a scene where a guy gets his d cut off and fed to dogs again in very graphic detail and this just the surface the argument for this movie from those who like it seems that it is the only film that honestly portrays rome and it's when in fact what this movie really is is sheer exploitation from beginning to end you see nothing but endless torture and and every kind of violence and crude behavior imaginable rape it just never stopped there is no insight into himself what might have him to go mad the horrible childhood he had that him into a as an adult this is not a historic film it is sleaze even the porn in this movie stinks and through much of this when i wasn't i was just incredibly bored by the time it was over i was depressed didn't feel much like eating and this movie does the impossible it actually can turn you off of sex br br what were these great actors thinking when they got into this i did read that the porn segments were filmed after the principal shooting was completed which explains why none of the main actors are in any of these scenes and why the quality of these scenes is so poor but still and all these actors must have known what they were getting into right at the opening credits it says magazine and bob presents and the scenes that the famous actors actually take part in are completely repulsive in and of themselves apparently director wanted his name removed from the completed film entirely as did the screenwriter gore of all people even john and peter o'toole were begging people not to see this when it opened at the cannes film festival br br for the amount of money the producers spent on this the movie's quality is terrible everything is and murky as if the film was dropped in a swamp prior to being developed and that's when you're lucky enough to view a scene that's actually in focus the sound is poorly dubbed much of the music is awkward and the editing is god awful br br anyway i brought this movie on myself my advice don't watch this don't watch this don't watch this as for myself tomorrow night i am going to watch something lighter like dawn of the dead,negative +my mom and i went to the worth premiere mainly to see george but ended up getting the chance to see the movie at bass hall what a wonderful beautiful film which not only depicts the beautiful texas landscape but also had a great feel good storyline it was well written directed and produced and my mom and i loved it from start to finish thank you jay for giving us the opportunity to be a part of the premiere of this wonderful movie it was a night we will never forget as if seeing the movie was not enough we also were fortunate enough to be sitting 4 in front of my favorite singer george thank you thank you thank you keep up the great work and again thank you br br debbie maureen worth,positive +i was happy to find out that at least now this movie is beginning to get the appreciation it deserves just view those votes not top class action like die hard or lethal weapon but still something like a solid 7 out of 10 fine script good actors with working chemistry and a director who knows what he wants sadly this was director last good film deep blue sea managed to reach ok status but island and especially driven are well deserved personally i think the turn off at the box office might have been the woman as an action star theme well give her a chance because davis does deliver a performance above par and after all this film doesn't concentrate so much on the feminine side but instead on good ol' action jackson as a sidekick is given a lot of room in here plus his share of action and about a thousand killer and on the plot from black the writer of lethal weapon and the last boy the latter of which as a movie is on very many levels much like this one the theme the clever plot also as good and as underrated overall if one hasn't seen this one yet don't forget to rent it for the next quiet saturday night,positive +a captures a mythical on a island to get it back to civilization he his way onto the bay of a large luxury cruise ship with funny and i think the script intended disastrous results br br lets start with the one thing i really did not like about this movie the monster really just looked like a guy in a rubber suit the cgi scenes looked like a different movie ok thats off my chest now onto all the enjoyable bits about this b movie br br the best thing was john rhys davies his daughter the eye candy a close second john was funny and suave and no matter what the writers made him say he said it well good job given what he had to work with the was over the top and fun to watch too he had some funny bits the marines all were ok and make good cannon fodder for the monster as did some of the crew and guests there are a few pretty funny lines in this movie and a pretty amusing sub plot involving a thief br br the special effects are generally to low and i swear they the same blood on the wall scene in about four different parts of the movie i did like the gore of the man really since this movie was not scary at all i feel a bit more gore would have gone along way in the watch ability of this movie br br all in all if you like b monsters this one is worth a visit,negative +this movie is kind of good it seem that they used the rex like a blown up balloon just like godzilla just maybe back in those 60 70's days scientist haven't got enough info on all sorts of dinosaurs back in those time scientist still making dinosaur so i guess this movie was base on a rex movements back in the 60 70's there even a part where a giant rock fired by someone at the rex it damage the rex and it was knock out for a little while at the end the rex went back to search for food there is something wrong in the movie as well like a rifle how can one rifle kill a rex when it could be 1 000 5 000 stronger than we are if this film going to make a remake i suggest make it more good and excited because watching a old movie seems like to have a remake of it if lucky,positive +paul did a great role as the tortured father whose favorite little girl dies of disease for that he deserves all the credit however the movie was mostly about exactly that keeping the adventures of as he gathered data for his theories as stories told to children and skipping completely the regarding his ideas br br two things bothered me terribly the soundtrack with its whiny sound practically sadness down the throat of the viewer and the movie trailer showing some beautiful the of him and his wife and the enthusiasm of his best friends as they prepare for a battle against blind faith thus the movie completely br br to put it if one were to remove the scenes of the movie trailer from the movie the result would be a non family drama about a little child dying and the of her parents as a result clearly not what i expected from a movie about albeit the movie was beautifully interpreted,positive +this is the first le cartoon and in some ways it's very similar to the later ones but in a few other odd ways it is not while the object of affections is a cat oddly it appears to be a boy cat this whole occurs because a cat is tired of being abused by others and dresses up like a and tries to smell like a so it can be left alone unfortunately this our hero most of the action is pretty typical until the very funny and unexpected ending and this actually makes this one of the best of all cartoons in the series excellent animation though the style is different than later examples excellent writing and a good sense of humor make this one a keeper,positive +i rented a copy of this one from netflix big mistake the dvd version titled the one armed was produced by who thought that the fighting sequences would be appreciated better all together in one big chapter than as part of a consistent story some of the story was left in separate chapters which you can from the main menu but the dvd is still a mess don't rent or buy it not that there was anything wonderful about the original story an complicated piece of nonsense much as i liked seeing wang in his prime again after all these years this one is an utter waste of time i've had dish that made a better film than this what the chopped up dvd version shows us is that no matter how silly a chinese script may be you have to see some sort of story to care about how the fighting sequences turn out br br but the one armed does offer you do the chance to see both wang and shaw brothers lo beating up pretty boy david it's always a pleasure to see that happen lo plays a sort of second string villain here and serves as a prime example of why some people really need he film is also by the participation of actor chang as the br br another comment above mentions the obligatory fight in the scene there are two in fact where wang and are attacked by a pack of comical using what look like weapons making bruce lee noises while they fight none of this makes any sense but that's okay if you're not expecting any clarity or common sense it was fun to watch anyway br br another of this production is that there are no significant women characters there are a couple of female roles but they play no serious role in the action or the plot br br if you can find a copy of the original shaw brothers one armed movie the one which explains why he has only the one arm and why he uses a broken sword go for it,negative +i found this gem in a rack the local video rental store had of tapes which are among various rental 'the man who down hmm never heard about it the box reads of some japanese fellow who always wanted to down and actually did it sounds interesting i rented it as expected it was documentary style the first part can be so i always wanted to down this is followed by some footage of for the event lots of footage ok i suppose it takes a lot of then we are treated to a piece on the philosophy on life etc more filler follows and i begin to wonder where the fits in to this show more is shown and they begin to make the trip to the mountain more philosophy is shown at last they arrive at the mountain and maybe perhaps he will get around to down the thing lots of climbing footage later there is a description of the device intended to slow speed on the finally he on the and gets ready to go br br he's off he about twenty feet and his shoot out from under him he the and in an for some distance down the mountain and that's that end of story what the heck was that br br ok i can buy that he always wanted to down made extensive and actually tried it with camera crew in it didn't work and he ended up down and almost killing himself so what would inspire the man to release a film of it and call it down perhaps the title the man who's feet shot out from under him and he on his ass down was just too long for the tape box,negative +it's day and we decided to stay in have a nice dinner and watch this movie on tcm instead of going out we're in our 40's 50's love romance and are both but this movie just bombed for us it's hard to imagine that it was nominated for oscars etc but i guess that was then the cinematography was beautiful but for the most part the movie as a whole is terribly dated jennifer jones' character made so many references to her being that we started counting and after a while we were every time she said it add to that the theme song played throughout the film and we couldn't wait for it to be over so we could watch the evening news,negative +this movie is a absolute masterpiece and has all the kinky sex car crashes and a penis monster that shakespeare always wanted but never got this is classic troma style and juliet is about two rival named the and the non of the ever got along ever since father screwed monty father in the filmmaking business two rival grow apart until and juliet find true love together and when each side hear of this blood shed is the least that happens yes and juliet is the troma classic by fans world wide witness harry balls the penis monster first feature film and also has first troma appearance what are you waiting for now go out and rent the movie br br 10 10 br br,positive +this production was quite good the usual fabulous scenery interesting quirky characters it was just so strange not to have captain miss and office so featured in the original bbc mysteries br br in the original series so much took place at the office reading the paper while his little gray cells miss in whenever needed br br without capt would be like holmes without watson he can most certainly solve the crime but it is not as interesting br br and what would a mystery be without with his impeccable manners falling for some beautiful woman,positive +this is another notorious mexican horror film however while the original spanish language version is quite tame all sorts of gore and nudity were inserted for the english dubbed prepared by who did similar duties on the curious dr 1967 and like the u s version of that film had previously been available on dvd through something weird image br br i watched the original first and while no great shakes it was fairly engaging especially with a plot as familiar as this one was a doctor goes beyond the call of duty in attempting to save the life of his ill son he even has a game assistant played by carlos lopez who had a strikingly similar role though in a more sinister vein in the curse of the crying woman i know that several mexican films horror with the wrestling genre but i had never watched one myself this element is present here in fact the heroine is a wrestler but the two styles are perhaps thankfully kept apart that said the wrestling sequences are competently done with some of the moves proving highly amusing br br the doctor's son is transformed into a monster looking like the incredible hulk with mud over his face after having had an heart into him but then when this is replaced with that of a female wrestler he stays this way and grows a pair of to boot shouldn't he realistically have turned into a though i guess that wouldn't have been very interesting the climactic sequence in which the monster kidnaps a child and meets his demise at the hands of the police is reminiscent of the ghost of frankenstein 1942 my favorite unintentionally funny moments in the film however occur when the doctor trying to comfort his son tells him that he'll soon be only to turn his back soon after on the verge of tears and also the look he gives his crippled assistant as the latter slowly into the car when they're about to chase the monster who has escaped from the lab br br the alternate nude scenes work for the film these were actually done by himself for a mexican version entitled horror y but its reputation is largely based on the added material showing over the top violence such as an being out of its a and even a person's head being torn off there are also several graphic operation which however give rise to a goof while it's made clear that only two people are involved in the operation we see a third pair of hands constantly holding an mask to the face br br the film is also said to be a loose remake of own black and white horror film doctor of doom but since i haven't watched that one i can't say how much of it was actually for night of the bloody apes,negative +i work at a movie theater and every night we have an employee screening of one movie that comes out the next day today it was the guardian i saw the trailers and the ads and never expected much from it and in no way really did i seeing this movie well turns out this movie was a lot more than i would have thought it was a great story first of all and kevin did amazing acting work in this film being a big fan of that 70's show i always found it hard thinking of as anyone but despite the great acting he did in the effect but after seeing this movie i think i might be able to finally look at him as a serious actor br br it was also a great tribute to the heroes of the u s coast guard,positive +i have to be honest and admit that this movie did basically nothing for me except me completely it's with a plot that revolves around the mysterious murders of several young women which then gets linked to the discovery of a body over 40 years old the story never really seems to make much sense especially when played by tommy lee jones starts having his conversations with general john bell hood i never really did figure that out jones was ok in his role although i thought he was really starting to show his age here horribly miscast was john goodman as julie baby feet who i guess is supposed to be some sort of local mob figure i simply didn't think goodman worked in this role although i'll admit that just could be because i'm not much of a john goodman fan somewhere in the mix appeared as an fbi agent although i never really did understand what the fbi was involved in which could mean simply that my attention kept wandering from the screen if it was explained though i missed it completely fortunately this is a fairly short movie so you won't waste too much of your life on it 2 10,negative +and juliet is perhaps the best shakespeare i have ever seen not that there's much competition but anyway br br all in all and juliet is definitely one of better movies one of the little hidden in a heap of dung it's a funny action packed gory take on the world's greatest love story but still manages to follow the original story as as one can except from this kind of movie well except for the ending where and juliet kill abusive father and live happily together in a sunny suburban area for the rest of their lives with their mutated children br br this is the movie high school literature classes should show instead of making poor students read through hundreds and hundreds of pages of shakespeare's scripts thumbs up,positive +although i haven't seen it yet i know that chaplin is a genius and only someone of his talent would take on this daring subject matter a comedy about hitler all great satire is based on going out on an edge also all great comedy deals with the other side pathos this film seems like it will both sides like kubrick's dr the great dictator deals with history through the distorted lens of satire the only way to deal with the horrors of this world is by laughing at it and hopefully through laughter we can learn to view the world in a new light another film that does this that comes to my mind is underground and and so let me watch the film first,positive +in da is the first of jeff daniels writing and directing talents br br i've seen worse but this one isn't that great br br in da starts off like as a decent parody of this part of american culture as we follow jeff daniels on the eve of deer hunting season 1989 he is getting close to the record of oldest to never bag a buck br br the film takes places in the upper of and has all the normal cliche characters but there is a warmth there that tells you this isn't being mean spirited br br well is heading off to the deer camp and before his wife norris gives him a native american his lucky hat and two forms of you probably don't want to know about br br anyway she is really the only one who believe in him he finally gets to the camp where his dad is waiting and his brother joey is soon to show br br okay let's fast forward this in here there are some laughs a few moments when i a loud but most of the jokes here are used a few to many times br br but the biggest draw back is the spiritual native american happenings just when you settle in with the characters these strange things occur but the special effects are so cheap all it is is a big flash of light and then head quickly back in forth br br and the ending well it is worthless br br the move itself wasn't bad the quirky character and fun parody were good but it should've stayed at that instead of having stupid spiritual that look like rejected scenes from some demon possession movie br br i give in da a 4 5 out of 10,negative +i enjoyed the movie very much everything in the italian job is simple an explosive guy a safe cracker a computer genius a wheel man and a man with a spectacular plan of stealing 35 million without using a gun this film is entertaining although it has no central idea it is a non stop movie with lots of actions all the stunt work is gorgeous from the chase in at the beginning to the chase on the busy roads in los angeles involving three mini and even a helicopter the best chase i have ever seen i like the mini the expert thieves used mini for the cars the chase between the mini and the is amazing they chased underground i can say there was not a moment i was bored mark charlie stella donald sutherland john jason handsome rob seth green left ear and norton steve really did a good job i like the actors in this film i have seen a lot of heist movie but the italian job is one of my favourites a great hollywood action movie without a drop of blood after all i do love this kind of movie,positive +one would think that a film based on the life of the japanese author would be a if not impossible task however paul has indeed made a film about that is both superb complex while it is not a literal biography his co screenwriter leonard his brother have taken several incidents from his life including his and crafted what can best be described as incidental that are visually sparse and stunning homosexuality is almost not there due to legal from his widow but in spite of this the film is still terrific and one of the best films i saw in 1985 i should also mention the important contribution of philip glass who did the score which adds an additional to the film and is superior to the one he did for also notable is john fine crisp beautifully colored cinematography and the great production design costumes by who went on to do the memorable costumes for dracula for which she received a well deserved oscar hopefully this film will soon be available on dvd,positive +this should carry a government health warning if you play it in your dvd machine you are in serious risk of opening a in the space time and disappearing without trace into it so bad is this br br the fact that this movie was so successful is evidence of the true desperate state of modern hollywood cinema and the of films that appeal to the common although i truly dread to think of the common that this film actually appeals to br br i think hollywood were just some kind of proving trials when they made and screened this film i can imagine the executive at the studio just how bad a film can we actually get away with making and still make loads of money holy cow i didn't realise we could go that bad br br the only films worse than this that i can think of and trust me it is close are die another day rip the bond franchise as i knew it and independence day br br avoid avoid avoid,negative +tiny is the first cartoon i remember watching as a child and i loved every minute of it when i was four or five my parents purchased the video how i spent my vacation i watched it over and over again until i new every word well a few days ago my three year old cousin came over and i had to entertain him i decided to show him this old of my childhood br br i new he would laugh but i was surprised how much i laughed like every tiny film and episode the humor is based more on and slapstick humor and succeeds tremendously bugs duck pig and all endure amazing adventures from bugs and white water with a little help from superman duck and pig travel to the greatest amusement park only to ride the and goes on an odd quest to find cute in a land br br some of the classic humor stands in this tiny adventure and is some of the best wacky comedy i've ever seen my favorite gag had to be the thing when and arrive ride the and leave much to no matter what your age you'll laugh yourself to tears while not having to deal with language and nudity br br tiny adventures how i spent my vacation starring the voices of charles joe and don br br 5 out of 5 stars,positive +stewart's age didn't bother me at all in this movie although he was portraying a much younger person i still recall my fascination with story and while i was thoroughly adult by the time this biopic was made i had to see it br br not only does this a great performance by stewart it also gives a lot of fascinating technical data making it understandable to those technically challenged such as myself and the look of the plane itself was great br br i quite loved this depiction of a period before my birth and the childhood love i had for and for the idea of air travel,positive +five characters in search of an exit has to be one of the most boring ever made it was on sci fi this morning and as usual i changed the channel i put it in my top five list of the worst ever produced dull and predictable and not worth watching worked this theme to death in the hands of aliens who often were giants and in this particular version it just doesn't work anyone who hasn't seen it before will quickly figure it out this is another philosophical mood piece perhaps the plight of those in prisoner of war or concentration camps where the imprisoned may lose interest in finding out where they are or fighting their william as the soldier who is the last to drop in is the only one curious to make the effort and it doesn't take long to figure the outcome,negative +this is a really bad waste of your time i would probably rather go watch some documentary than this it's really that bad br br the acting is really terrible and you can tell that the producers had a low budget because of the terrible picture quality it's by far on the low end of the scale don't waste your money on it br br i have a really hard time believing the person who made this movie that it would fare well i had to watch it with the kids when my mother rented it because she thought it would be good for the kids even the kids 3 4 6 and 8 all thought it was pretty boring br br i agree with the other would be a lot better to watch than this br br overall just don't watch it don't don't,negative +from 2002 on dutch cinema finally got better again this movie is still part and a example of the bad period of dutch cinema br br the story is needlessly told in flashback style all of the sequences set in france are completely redundant and add nothing to the story emotions or power for some reason european filmmakers often find it necessary to tell the story not i never understood why or what the appeal of it is br br the story self also isn't exactly the greatest it isn't always clear were the movie is trying to go to and what it tries to tell the story of a young boy falling in love with a wild young girl who later turns out to be quite psychotic might sound good enough on paper and even shows some parallels to paul verhoeven's fruit to which this movie often was compared to before and at the time of its release however the end result is far from comparable the story fails to capture the right emotions which is also due to the unimaginative performances from the actors the way the story is told also makes the movie far from always interesting or compelling i lost interest for this movie at about 40 minutes through the movie br br at the time this movie was made both and angela were promising rising stars with great potential and ambitions but both their careers have pretty much up by now angela seems to give her family more attention than her career that is not a bad thing of course while tried to start a career in hollywood he never got any further than playing some small bit parts in 2 to be honest i'm not surprised it's not that he is a bad actor and he certainly has got the right looks but his english just isn't good enough to put it mildly just listen to him speaking english in the beginning of this movie and you'll understand what i mean they are really not bad actors but for some reason it doesn't show in this movie it's probably also due to the poor dialog i still kind of liked beau van he's been criticized a lot but his acting seems very natural he always keeps the characters close to who he self is br br it by no means is one of the worst movies ever made but it's not exactly one i would recommend either bad and uninteresting storytelling makes this a bad movie br br 4 10,negative +this miniseries movie was so terrible at times that i nearly broke down and turned it off i am a great fan of the novel however this movie suffers from of problems the is poor and many of the more emotionally charged scenes are the from the novel are poorly chosen significant nuances are missed or br br,negative +heather graham a night club in nyc and lives with her husband carl luke wilson a photographer after about 500 days of marriage comes home to find a note from carl that he needs some space and a of daisies her favorite flower jo promptly puts the daisies in the and the button soon after she on a journey to find carl somewhere out west because after all she is committed to carl however when she finally tracks him down in texas jo camps out near his home at first hoping to find clues to his decision to leave she meets a gorgeous neighbor can't spell his name but jo his attraction to her when she learns carl may have a new girlfriend she decides to a mexican american for advice jo is committed but does that mean anything to carl this is a very imaginative quite humorous look at the marriage it's quirky script and offbeat style is downright graham is just great as the woman who is having a hard time letting go wilson does not give his best performance but is adequate as the mixed up husband the rest of the cast is quite nice however with the gorgeous one wonderful as the sexy neighbor the scenery both in new york and in texas is very lovely and the costumes are fresh and fun if you like romantic comedies and independent films this one is made to order for you it walks to a different beat that is most attractive but still delivers in the ultimate happy ending category,positive +is the princess bride meets well but wait really it's a good combination this was definitely one of the better movies i've seen in a long time it has the kind of witty dialog i associate with the princess bride or cemetery man along with the disgusting scenes of violence of a horror movie the heroic feel of princess bride combined with the this is odd lack of any really good guys that had br br i'm not saying it was as good as the princess bride but it was in the and it some of the dialog pleasing to brilliant the plot is interesting the characters while slightly are not due to their nature there were gay people in the 18th century contrary to a previous remarks but just in a bit of the language they used the made it fun though and not cheesy and easily br br if you've ever read any simon r green or series you know exactly what this movie is check it out it's great,positive +beware my lovely from a play written by mel who apparently liked writing about frightened women his first and best effort was the screenplay for the spiral he also did a loretta young suspense thriller cause for alarm a couple of years earlier the play wrote was originally entitled the man and it ran for performances on broadway during the 1950 season it was only effort on broadway and it starred dorothy and richard br br the roles that and played are taken by and robert ryan for whatever reason rko thought to eliminate the age difference himself his play for the screen so i'm wondering what he thought about that certainly the issue was eliminated completely from the story br br that wasn't the only thing that was eliminated the people are all wearing period clothing from around world war i yet there's no reference at all to the time this story takes place in i thought that strange and later on when the company comes to i noticed his truck was a vintage one of the same era br br the film is almost entirely set within home where she's hired an stranger in robert ryan as a the film is a great object lesson in not hiring strangers without reference it turns out that ryan is a who in her home for about a day br br both the leads do fine jobs even with the changes made films like beware my lovely are the stuff that a small studio like rko did best if this were done at mgm or paramount the glossy would have overwhelmed a solid story,positive +i felt that the film was rushed and the acting was full of holes arnold was good but the main girl was stupid and the guy who played the devil was awful the story was confusing and idiotic the film had no point and was unbelievable the movie is not the worst movie but is not too far away from it overall i was awfully disappointed it could have been alot better my score is a 3 out of 10,negative +when i saw this film at a festival years ago i was very impressed and i started to looking for it nothing to do not in the cinemas nor on dvd neither on blue ray absolutely nothing how it's possible this could really happen the direction is impeccable the story is intriguing and has been filmed in a very original way the music it's perfect and james franco is hot as hell br br please release this master piece and allow it to have it's proper life this is really a very great movie that people should see and it deserve another chance br br,positive +this was indeed an amazing adaption i missed the first episode so i unfortunately missed out on the bonding between the characters and the smooth flow of the storyline but as soon i watched the second and then the third i was just blown away i ordered the dvd less than a week later and unable to wait for it to come i went straight out and brought the book from the moment i opened it i was hooked i just couldn't put it down i decided to finish the whole book before i dare watch the dvd at all i preferred the book because it got inside the characters minds you could understand totally where they were coming from and what there role was within the story they missed a lot out of the adaption which was disappointing as the book is a master piece and i think they could have done it superbly if they had been able to stretch it over a longer period of time but considering only being able to be into a 3 hour i think it was done excellent it followed the main twisted storyline brilliantly and the actors which were as the main characters where amazing the love making scene was pure beautiful it was so tender and loving and just showed how natural homosexual love can be i was totally blown away with both the book and the tv adaption i loved both of sarah waters previous novels and also found the the adaption quite enjoyable but when i read and watched i knew none of her previous novels adaption could beat it sarah waters has indeed herself this time i recommend that you watch this adaption if the wasn't your thing then don't let it put you off this one is a whole new ball game it is a beautiful yet dark twisted story about love greed and betrayal br br a must see,positive +admittedly i tuned into this in the hopes of seeing some shots of james unfortunately there was only one early on and the rest of the movie was very tame and ultimately made little sense br br the story what there is of it centers on nick and julie a couple whose marriage of many years is beginning to grow stale nick a successful businessman is focused on work to the point of julie who tries to fill the void by going back to school longing for the passion that she and nick had early in their marriage begins to take shape in the form of powerful sexual fantasies which block out reality for minutes at a time causing her to do things like burning breakfast and her husband's papers at first she about her husband but as the movie progresses she begins to about other men and about encounters with random strangers whom she meets this in her acting out her fantasies with disastrous consequences for her marriage can she and her husband their relationship is it worth saving br br this could have been an interesting premise but the execution is so bland that you wonder why they even bothered characters aren't developed motives aren't explained background information isn't given no exploration is made of how julie got to the point where she couldn't control herself and no explanation is offered as to how she will do so in the future the end product is a muddled mess which is just as confusing as fantasies which are surprisingly underdeveloped br br the acting is a mixed bag donna mills as julie does well with the material she is given although her self pity does become after awhile james acts as though he is reading his lines from cue cards and even his anger over his wife's infidelity is hard to buy into he shows so little passion over the whole issue the supporting roles are mostly forgettable br br disappointing treatment of what could have been an interesting story the pity since it doesn't even offer the eye candy it promised,negative +director michael ritchie and actor robert second documentary style drama 'the is a political satire that still seems fresh and today so it's a pity that made a short time before seems so dated by contrast the music is ugly and the perhaps innovative ing sequences are now standard in coverage of the sport the world of ing seems strangely amateurish probably accurately given the time the movie was made but it's hard to relate to today's professional world and the theme of americans in europe likewise seems in an age of ever easier travel perhaps the biggest problem is the flat plot on the arrogant but enigmatic hero unfortunately it's a dreary performance from redford offering us little insight into his cares or motivations and a character driven film without much of a character is never a good bet i expected much but sadly this is a boring movie,negative +master of italian horror is called a lot of bad things by non fans and is deserving of absolutely none of the in fact every time i hear something bad about i think they're really talking about he just doesn't get the same amount of attention because his films were never as successful in theaters in fact his best film cemetery man was probably his least successful or just didn't get the attention he felt it deserved because after that he left film and went into directing television he's never gone back so people really don't know how inferior his other films are because by the time they've seen them they're already fans of the italian horror aesthetic which means you have to accept the fact that they make almost zero sense and are usually very unattractive films this is where the church stands out from the pack because visually it's so cheap and ancient looking you can smell the dust but it has its' charms too though they are few the camera work is truly and the music score is hugely elaborate and grand br br since is the reasons people have seen work all i don't know anyone who caught the church before and deep red is a bit of a hack sort of like an italian mick the example of a director style over substance the flaws of the church are constant and plenty the film opens with a somewhat interesting prologue showing knights on white horses through a village akin to those you see in any robin hood adaptation in some long ago century these scenes are intense enough energetic and get quickly to the point then we cut to the present where the film's style takes over yeah the movie is okay to look at and for about 35 or so minutes in the present 1980's wherever italy the movie is just interesting enough to get us to the slowly revealing horror elements so now we know the purpose of the film is the build up of it's horror and it's a decent build up for the most part but as the movie approaches the halfway point we realize the movie's driving by and nothing is happening br br the plot is very simple i think two people working in a church one as a of books and the other as a of the wall artwork discover a that the man thinks will lead them to some kind of buried treasure or priceless that he can sell and get rich off of so he follows his only to a force underneath the church that has him while he's slowly becoming a demon who will make everyone else so while he is doing his demon work someone he passed the force onto kills himself in a manner that traps everyone in the church while the demon onto everyone leaving a black preacher and the little girl who out of the church every night to go as the only 2 people who can stop the plague from beyond the church walls that probably sounds action packed and style is far more than but never before have i seen an attempted film this boring i kid you not absolutely nothing happens in the entire film i've seen or i'm no film school super films before but most of them actually show things happening john carpenter's halloween for one br br it follows pretty closely in the footsteps of demons films since co produced we're shown to a location where a bunch of people gather one turns into a demon all the others are isolated that person everyone except a couple survivors then the demons either get out the world or the survivors get out when the demons die this film puts all those same elements in place except unlike work nothing happens okay a few things do happen but only one bizarre sequence has the of much more fun demons films a random woman's neck is by a demon using a section of fence he rips out of the floor what's bizarre about that you wonder it happens in front of about two dozen people what do they do nothing she dies her head blood in but all those people don't even notice though it happens in plain view and no less than 8 feet away from them maybe 4 people notice the demon running up to stab anyone he can as he runs toward her so they duck out of the way she's killed and in the shot after she dies everyone is just sitting around being quiet while a boy plays a i kid you not that's what happens that's more than incoherent it's plain stupid br br the scene is suggesting that the woman just sort of disappears and no one saw her death they all just up and forget about it and this 15 second thing is absolutely the only event that takes place in the movie i'm not saying it's the only violence gore or murder we see it's not it's just the only thing we can tell is happening for example in one scene a beautiful woman sees herself in a mirror looking old and ugly she starts the skin on her face off but when she minutes later no people are by fish and their faces are by subway cars but later they turn up as totally members of a possessed cult in a scene that commits the ultimate horror a famous scene from roman 1968 masterpiece rosemary's baby the greatest horror film ever made shot for shot even if did that i would be furious,negative +where this movie is faithful to vision it is excellent where it from it is superb it is a tale of family of the seeking of a father by a real and emotional orphan speaking of one of the most lines in all of cinema he was my father is enough to bring tears to the eyes of the most cynical critic not a perfect motion picture the notorious over dubbing of voice by glenn close is and only in terms of a very british error but a fine if flawed masterpiece and a noble farewell to sir ralph richardson,positive +what is he supposed to be he was a kid in the past and the future this movie had a lot of problems is he a ghost or just a strong kid man what a piece of crap i'm still confused also is he supposed to be an abortion strange very strange this movie will mess with your mind and it's not very scary just confusing why was he where did what was the oh who cares milo isn't worth it br br my score 10,positive +there's nothing particularly unique or interesting about this run of the mill low budget sci fi flick regardless of its origin the film is loosely based on a novel by leo the plot and overall themes of this film are in no way remarkable or original the science is weak at best and unfortunately the film fails to even involve compelling action sequences br br the plot begins with a space flight to mars and though the main plot doesn't really get rolling until the ship lands most of the most interesting scenes occur en route unfortunately as soon as our touch down their previously interesting relationships about and the meaning of life and everything interesting about the film all give way to an only remotely coherent plot concerning martian problems and not very convincing of br br there is nothing very remarkable about the production quality of the film either it's passable and most of the acting is though slow ok cameron mitchell is actually pretty good and plays a likable character i guess the best quality of this film from my perspective is its fashion sense the martians have very nice outfits if this film had a point it might have been much more interesting oh well,negative +i saw this one on dvd it had a big picture of sandra on it and said starring sandra and made it seem like she had a big part in it not so she's barely in it she does what she can with the script but that's not much br br the sound was awful by that i mean things didn't go together shots would be fired and the number of shots didn't to the sound people talking in a car while it's moving and the shot is from outside the but there's no noise road noise or any other sound kind of weird br br score was awful it sounded like the same few notes over and over dialog really awful br br acting was awful i couldn't believe any of it fight scenes were like a batman comic without the and they were really lame the shooting scenes i mean with were laughable literally i fast through a lot of this movie even then it was too long,negative +this could have been a really good movie if someone would just have known how to finish the film br br the story was going along just fine and heading towards that point in every movie like this where the gray characters turn good and the bad guys get their just and boom it's like they ran out of script and the cast just started to make things up br br which wouldn't have been so bad if the cast had just continued with the character development they had already put in place but such is not the case and the movie soon becomes a goofy mess br br my advice is to watch this movie up to about the last 30 minutes and then shut it off at this point imagine how you think the next 30 minutes will look based on what you have seen so far br br believe me the ending you come up with will look far better than how this film actually ends trust me on this,negative +after many many years i saw again this beautiful love story thinking about how would i half a century after react to a film which made so many girls cry and sigh at that time when i was just an male adolescent trying to understand women's in a small city in brazil br br this time however what caught my attention in the film was something very different namely the with which the dr han jennifer jones makes clear to the journalist mark elliott william her special condition as an in fact she is constantly putting emphasis on this point in their relationship repeating she is willing to assume her love for him and carry it on in a way provided that by doing so she is not her chinese side its seems to the that is eagerly making efforts to establish a very subtle between those two unstable and opposite aspects of her culture for they will immediately engage in overt conflict in her mind at a minimum failure in her attempts to control them br br therefore attitudes always leave poor elliott – a determined brave and extremely practical man – anxious and without knowing how much importance to give to her words for him whose love for her is plain and simple the situation is totally clear if we love each other let us make a couple and begin immediately a life together not so fast is what she seems and non to answer him all the time br br in fact chinese portion would never allow her such a level of and as she goes on and on this much aimed between those two worlds inside herself she also frequently to him that also a very peculiar of chinese culture is deeply in her mind namely the constant on the real world by invisible beings from an spiritual or non physical world for is always elliott about how dangerous is life not because of any objective and threat as would be the of the english or the of a japanese invasion but due to the of plenty of cruel and gods and other mystical and mythical beings over the poor and vulnerable human beings br br in fact it looks like a whole bunch of chinese are on the watch to make people's life totally miserable because of that mothers must dress their precious male babies in girls clothes so that they are not taken away by jealous gods everyone should always be ready to make loud noises to send the clouds away in order to avoid their covering the sight of the moon are advised that they should shout the rice is bad the rice is bad to protect their from being stolen by and in a funeral it is recommended that the family be isolated from the other people by so that the gods don't take advantage of their sorrow and br br in other words introduces us to a culture in which the supernatural has a real existence as if a rather disturbing of and sadistic gods are always on the verge of with the most banal acts in anyone's daily life br br as the story takes place in hong kong in 1949 it should be clear that china really was at that time almost a semi society while the country from which elliott had come from was not yet dominated by the fierce capitalism that launched by the usa after the first oil shock in 1973 took charge of the whole world therefore at least in one aspect both sides of personality were still much more innocent than they would be today br br a lot of history came into being since those old days as to china the main fact is that after several of a communist regime the country finally reached in the last two decades the condition of a very aggressive economy much more properly described as state capitalism and what happened to that old that so much enthralled in hong kong in 1949 and with which she used to impress so much an elliott under that tree on the hill behind the hospital it is gone completely gone in brief if that story took place today elliott would not find it necessary to go to china to to in the presence of the third uncle and her entire family in fact both men would now be closer to one another in their huge talking business as usual,positive +this movie was to me a fairly enjoyable watch i mean it wasn't great but it was one of the better horror movies of late it seems to have been low almost state benefit budget size but it has it's charms like the lovely ladies in it the atmosphere was good also which is what is missing hell of a lot of horror movies these days the acting was your typical 80's low budget affair that being in case you don't know is that it is dud acting but that is what lucio movies were full of they like this movie had atmosphere what they were lacking in storyline and money etc they more than made up for in the horror gore atmosphere for the movie it's self br br it is just a typical low budget horror movie that is watchable i watched it all the way and i love horror movies i've seen movies where i just turn off within 10 to 20 minutes or sit and fast forward it if it's on video or skip on the dvd this movie didn't make me want to do that i sat and watched it all the way to the end without wanting to skip parts br br i would have liked it however if the zombie type folk in this were a little more scarier as they were about as scary as having freddy as your babysitter not but seriously though if they were a little better it would have been low budget perfection maybe br br the music in this movie was top notch stuff ideal horror music so it was i've seen horror movies where the music is good or average but it could have been better thank goodness though this movie didn't have of the metal music in it br br i've been a die hard metal fan since 1990 but in horror movies metal music it the movie atmosphere a lot when any type of music other than a score is playing so i'm glad there was no music in this movie other than just your typical score which was rather creepy well done br br it could have use grace of dreams on it though as it is keyboard music no no nothing except really creepy keyboard tracks like track one forever sleep you hear the wind blowing all the way through it and some inducing keyboard music that follows it ever track on that cd is the same ideal horror music at it's best it would have suited this movie perfectly br br the only unattractive chick in the movie to me was the one who got killed or so we are led to believe and hung up as a scarecrow only to get free and try to escape later every other woman in the movie was lovely indeed a big 9 out of 10 for them all except the one i mentioned above br br i wish that hollywood mainstream side of things would give money to romero and the guy who made this movie as giving it to them for movies is way better a decision made than giving it to a muppet called paul anderson of the resident evil br br well done guys it is not bad not bad at all i loved the part at the end credits when they kept showing you clips of them making the movie behind the not many movies do this kind of thing which i thought added a little to the movie as it also showed you some of sorts and that's always a good thing if you ask me br br rating for this movie 8 10 rating for the lovely ladies in the movie 9 10 rating for the atmosphere in the movie 9 10 rating for the score for the film 9 5 10,positive +i was invited to view this film at a small art museum screening i had no clue what to expect i was initially optimistic in the opening credits to see judd nelson bill paxton wayne james rob lowe and lara flynn boyle listed however after some very disturbing out scenes that did not add much to the story this film quickly became a weapon of torture the gimmick of the growing arm storyline is never really developed i kept waiting for this film to cash in there was a small payoff in the end but having to and sit through the the endless gross crude sexually perverted in your face screaming unfunny gore cost too much for me even for a free viewing what were these established actors doing in this awful film the art direction was very convincing and creepy at the very minimum it should only be a 75 minute film this is a film that dick and donald would embrace,negative +i was fortunate enough to catch this film at the phoenix film festival and i must say that i very much enjoyed it when i asked the director if he had attended film school i was very much impressed that he had not films like these don't come from people without talent to get a start in commercials and then produce a heart felt family comedy like this shows real range i'll certainly be keeping an eye on what he does next as a good indie movie should the film is very character driven as to your average hollywood movie which are mostly plot driven the film centers on a jewish family in new york the who have all been invited back for their fathers suicide party the film is stock full of witty quick dialogue the fact the small jewish family is obsessed with being jewish and anyone who is jewish grounds the unrealistic situation of a suicide party in reality director jeff does a wonderful job at pulling the characters out of the actors and bringing them to life on screen the production design brings the sets to life with lots of attention paid to small details making the setting feel like a home that's been lived in for 40 years the editing keeps up with the dialogue in such a way that it makes you sit on your seat wondering who's going to stab who with the next witty phrase or punch line and when appropriate the film slows down to let the audience dive a little deeper into the meanings and motivations hidden inside these lovable characters if you're a fan of woody allen or films like as good as it gets go see this film,positive +is my favorite band so when i heard that this double dvd was coming out i was understandably excited i'll just cut to the chase here and say that if you are any kind of fan you must run out and buy this right away it's absolutely spectacular it blows 'the song remains the completely out of the water why this material was never released before is beyond me the footage presented here really shows at the peak of their game which i never really felt that quite did jimmy page is the best ever without a doubt and these performances make look like a be on the for the live jam br br jimmy page br br led br br 11 out of 10,positive +a strange relationship between a middle aged woman and a who gonna be a woman soon charlotte and both trapped by their lives and don't know how to get out of them charlotte is an owner of a beauty clinic she has broken up with her aggressive ex husband moved into an apartment alone with all the furniture packed except her big bed lives with her poor dog she's sensitive and desperately bothered by her mother's visiting and the bad relationship with her dad her only hope is that the upcoming operation will turn her into a real woman and then everything will be fine all she can do now is waiting for an br br then these two individuals meet by chance and gradually they are all involved into other's lives there are some between them but no one is brave enough to face the truth because they are not willing to accept the change as most people do eventually the ending is quite satisfying and leaves some imagination for us to think about it br br the director's great work gives me an great impression she handles the development of characters very well the emotional atmosphere is quite full and intense also i am so obsessed with the gloomy lights all over the apartment but full of desire br br two main characters are played by and david they are amazing in their roles a very impressive performance and the chemical reaction between them is genuine and convincing br br this swedish indie film is about and change no matter you're homosexual or male or female the of life exists everywhere whenever you fall across it you'll be hesitate and but at least don't be afraid follow your heart and choose the right way,positive +12 br br you steal fifty million dollars they will find you ' alan as hans die hard br br this certainly rings true in this sequel terry has been informed that danny ocean and his were the ones who ripped him off and now he wants it all back the ocean gang need a lot of money and fast but cannot work in the states as has made it impossible for them so it's off to europe to perform acts of death whilst trying to avoid catherine zeta jones' super cop an old flame from past br br on their first heist in they find out that who on them was the a super slick thief with a legend complex he issues them with a challenge that could write off their debt in full or land them in some kind of uma thurman kill bill ii buried alive type sequence interesting well yes slow sort of entertaining mostly unnecessary scenes of character development plenty br br ocean and his band of merry men are charismatic if nothing else and as this is a sequel and we are all old friends we see plenty more situations and conversations too many is more nervous than before the cousins are as we knew they would mac talks too much and don er accent is as bad as ever i really like cheadle but could not this pitt and clooney talk like old friends filling each other's glasses and reading each other's minds however what worked so well in the last film was the lack of character development versus how slick the whole damned was and as much as these actors work well together zeta jones fits into this film like a big square in a tight 11 sided hole she simply doesn't fit and her chemistry with pitt is non existent br br the stars of this film for me however were vincent as the night fox and choice of locations plays and wealth as if he was born into both his night fox is arrogant with other people's danny ocean and a total contrast to the ocean gang this is where i think the film loses its way and the european locations provide an all too realistic contrast with the american actors and the style of the first film we want slick and quick witted not gritty considered and intellectual this is where the film doesn't work br br you cannot repeat the same formula twice to the letter but going to far left or right usually does more damage than good in a mainstream film like this,positive +i saw this on a dvd a couple months before it was released br br i liked the main characters and the overall story but some scenes are pretty sloppy and confusing the sets were fitting but a few just looked like left overs from freaks or reminded me of a cell phone commercial shot in a middle class home definitely not what the dvd cover claims destined to be the next classic hardly br br wardrobe and are done well and yes there are some really pretty girls in this always nice to see a good looking cast br br almost every scene contained guitar that just on and on sound design was a bit poor i think less would have been best,negative +i have watched grand champion all the way through at least twice now i enjoyed the movie's story the characters and the actors were not bad it is refreshing to see a g rated movie this is a feel good movie the story is mostly from the view of the children the interactions between the kids and the adults makes the story interesting i recommend this movie if you are looking for a family film if you liked the little you will probably enjoy this i viewed this movie on cable either on or showtime family this is not a movie that i would have gone to see at the theatre but i only go to the theatre for the effects of the big screen so most comedies romantic films or dramas i do not go for big screen i wait for tv cable edition get your kids together pop some popcorn and enjoy,positive +i thought this would be funny i did i don't know what happened but i think a lot of the problem unfortunately falls with the casting i don't know who this kid is he could be a very nice person but he wasn't right for this movie and the supporting cast was great which only makes it more obvious for example there would be a scene with him and his love interest and your mind just starts to wander off but then keith david starts speaking or leslie or marion ross and it's like someone turned a light on and suddenly you can pay attention again and you think it might not be that bad but when they get back to the main characters the lights go out again br br the material available in the superhero genre is so the fact that most of the jokes were basically a fart makes you wonder who wrote this thing i mean it had a couple of funny bits as i do remember laughing a couple of times but right now i don't remember why and it was only a few days ago br br really i'm giving it a take it or leave it rating but i think most people should just leave it,negative +i just saw and felt that i had to comment on this film is a difficult topic in any field and unfortunately is can sometimes the true value of a movie many people have about the excellent cast and it's beautiful imagery camera work certainly is an actor that brings something extra to each film he makes to say that he the real is a little silly since i don't think that any of the reviewers have known personally to lie still and use a certain charm is a acting skill that although well performed doesn't a performance just does what he does well and that's it the camera work is beautiful and evokes feelings and perspectives that the movie itself lacks to deliver here is shown as a man that is bend on dying so much that he leaves his loving family behind and marries a woman that he only seeks out when the other will not help him in his quest for a death now i'm not here to say anything about the right for or against the problem is that when commenting movies like this you can hardly escape it the movie's subject is so strong that you're almost compelled to discuss the movie in that strong subject matter i find it a weakness for the movie unintentionally portrays as a character someone who is much smarter then his family as portrayed in the simple cousin that doesn't get the double layered poem directed towards him someone who will leave a loving and caring family because he thinks his life is a scene that is to the female lawyer who according to the movie makes the wrong choice ending up in a far state of thus that choice was the right one the woman that constantly seeks him out is almost for the beautiful lawyer but suddenly is married by when she agrees to help him die these choices make into a figure no matter how charming portrays him i would say it doesn't convince fully and i kinda think that didn't intend on adding this element in his film for a young director it's still an impressive film and it certainly has it's strong moments the discussion between the priest and for instance the camera work is impressive and the film is well acted but 10 out of 10 no the movie doesn't reach that excellence,positive +excellent story of lives that need one of those rare films that i could watch with my 7 and 8 year old daughters glenn close was excellent in the title role it was also nice to see christopher walken in a more normal role,positive +the movie touches the soul of the audience very much some scene in the movie is ultimate and tears comes out automatically i'm surprised by seeing this movie that any director can direct this type of movie in the year as a student of cinema i can say this movie helps a lot to understand use of montage first time when our teacher told us about this movie means genre of this movie we thought nothing could be there in this movie to understand but finally when sir explained it then we came to know how great this movie is lastly i can say it helps a lot understanding films and being a cinema student i can the viewers that they can see this movie,positive +there isn't much about reckless that feels right beginning with the off putting title thanks to screenwriter craig lucas who adapted his own play bringing the title along with him and continuing with the casting playing wife to tony who's young enough to be her son the couple live in an winter world that appears to be the inside of a snow globe but gets a startling dose of reality after he admits he's hired a man to kill her she into the night taking with a very strange couple who want to help her her life the production design and art direction of reckless are fine but they are services rendered for a completely inane often screenplay it's supposed to be a dark holiday comedy though the cast is at a loss with this unfunny occasionally offensive material 1 2 from,negative +i've come to realise through watching this sort of film that i don't like them very much women is yet another in film and like the most of the rest of the genre the plot is completely in favour of simply showing nude women now don't get me wrong i love nude women but i also like there to be some sort of plot thread to go with the nudity and since this film has only the basic are in theme running through it as the essential escape of course i got a bit bored before the end the film is good because there's barely a moment in it where the women are wearing clothes but that's about the only positive element director and writer ha ha c in showing close ups of the naked female body but it's never very erotic the director was the producer on a number of trash flicks including some directed by jess franco in my opinion he should stick to producing as his writing talents are non existent and he doesn't seem to know how to film a sex scene this sort of material is rather dry a lot of the time but i franco could have made more out of it overall this might suffice for people that are really into this sort of stuff but i can't say i enjoyed it,negative +one of the earlier reviews of this movie ends with only for big fans of the lead actors or fans of exotic romance adventure movies as if those weren't reason enough to love it anyone who after seeing this movie complains about accent or the lack of historical or the realism of the political motivations or any other extra movie concerns simply doesn't love movies see it and be by the star power of the two leads the exotic romantic photography and music and the bold adventure of a truly film this is proof that hollywood can make 'em like they used to when it really wants to a solid 8 10,positive +i would give this movie an 8 5 or a 9 i thought it was just straight up hilarious i don't know how you could not think this movie was funny but the only thing that disappointed me was that there was bit too much gross stuff because personally i think when they fly off of and stuff like that is much funnier but i'm sure there are people that think the other things are very funny so that is not my but anyways great movie go see it and after that you should definitely go buy it also if you do not like this movie that is fine because i'm sure there are many people who think that this movie shows how our society is or whatever this is just my personal opinion and you have yours also the jackass box set is definitely something worth or buying or whatever you do to get your videos,positive +a very moving and thought provoking film that raises issues of mental health illness and sound a bit too heavy it is a little but this is all treated in a realistically straight forward way within a story of the changes that take place to the family who have to deal with these things this is a positive story of facing up to life and responsibility that isn't by the subject matter br br is beautifully shot and crafted film set in modern times and dealing with modern issues it is a character driven enthralling film with a strong cast and some very good performances br br unfortunate it is not the sort of film that always performs well at the box office so catch it while you can,positive +ah the classic genre of 80s sex comedies this is set on two one a nude beach featuring fully women the plot something about a bunch of attempting to get laid the usual fans of gratuitous t a and p should hunt this one down,negative +this movie could have had a lot of potential certainly with today's technology one would expect real special effects but movies are not made with special effects alone of course acting is needed this film lacked both br br first let me say to those who are upset with this not following the bible why can't a movie take artistic license if you want to know about the story of read the bible i have seen very few movies that follow a true story fact by fact look at of movie from its artistic br br in viewing this movie you will inevitably compare it to the 1956 version it fails miserably in that heston and had presence they became their roles you don't see this here br br even if you don't compare standing on it's own this movie to too rushed parts where a scene should be developed it does not it becomes boring br br my advice skip this and watch the other as campy as the other is it's far and away the better movie,negative +a great movie with a rather unclear political message it´s shot in a theatrical style i c most of the action takes place inside mayor and diana seem equally suspicious of each other emotions run high since the western tourists and business people seem unwilling and unable to to the eastern russian charm of the mayor although he makes every effort to understand their point of view the two opposite world views are made clear but the movie also shows that human emotions cannot be controlled by politics its acted and has a high emotional impact for a 50s movie,positive +the reason i am reviewing this is that the previous review was written by someone who walked out of this film not even half way through unfortunately for him he missed out on a film of tremendous beauty agreed the film was very slow to start in fact the friend i was with fell asleep briefly i woke him before his disturbed the rest of the audience thankfully the film developed from there into a story of love drugs and what it was like to be young and free in the experimental 60s fantastic performances from the two leads and a great look to the film that gave it a real authentic feel be patient like many great films its well worth the wait and is certainly a film that i will look forward to 8 10,positive +where da code introduced us to dr robert and his knack for solving angels and demons ups the by providing a huge puzzle with an 8 hour limit br br with a cast of award winning actors ron howard does a good job of directing a story that was easy to follow and even easier to accept the da code threw so many angles at you in such a short time that a quick bathroom break would leave you a bit confused on return i didn't feel this was with angels and demons the plot was straight forward and the action kept the interest level throughout br br was easily my favorite character in the movie his portrayal of the yet misunderstood rank of the catholic church was very good and combined with the victim of his treatment patrick ewan you will find yourself choosing sides immediately upon introduction there isn't a great amount of tom hanks time as the film focuses more on story than character development and this did well with me being that i had more than enough introduction from the first movie br br unfortunately i found character to be an unnecessary femme assistant in the quest since her lines were a bit limited and seemed much like an she does play a key role in the beginning of things but she soon fades into the background of being familiar more so than a necessary partner br br the plot is as such one of the that the catholic church in the past there have been quite a few has sought revenge in a most artistic manner some men of the church are kidnapped and are set to be executed at specific times until an ultimate end to the church itself will happen dr robert is brought in to help the clues and teams up with the beautiful a scientist who witnessed a colleague die at the hands of the enemy br br music staying relevant and the cinematography beautiful i could on about this things but what makes angels and demons absolutely work is it's conclusion it was by far one of the most amazingly surprising endings i have seen in a movie and i was impressed at how off guard i was when it hit me like anyone else i appreciate a great wrap up and this movie it up quite tight and drops a pretty bow on it needless to say i left the theater pleased at the movie in it's entirety br br if you are religious and unsure if this movie will offend your catholic principles i can say that where the code painted as a shady cover up group of angels and demons paints them with a much lighter brush the church is shown as being a collective of good men who are made to suffer for the sins of evil and misguided men who wore their colors and even a few who have their modern ranks,positive +ever since he played a in lone wolf actor kane has been busy his film got all the publicity last year but he still makes a couple of more films every year he should have this one br br seems to be the king of the slashers he has played jason from friday the 13th part the new blood 1988 to jason x 2001 he is working on a new film that appears to be a halloween remake he is very much what i would call the serial killer type with his for blood br br however there wasn't much blood in this movie and very little action occurred on camera it felt as if i was watching an episode of real law on a e br br i won't put the blame entirely on shoulders as the rest of the actors didn't contribute much either br br michael the hills have eyes the devil's rejects just ran his mouth until shut him up the bold and the beautiful was cute veteran actress company and pet barnes did a credible job i am sure there are other horror favorites but they all just seemed to run through their roles,negative +this film did entertain me with lots of laughs at the actors who kept the film moving along in all types of crazy directions if you like suggestive language and sexy looking they were all in the picture and and guys all looking burned out before they even graduate from high school there is one scene where the teenagers drive their car into a very fake deer and then proceed to throw it out into a lake or ocean which is repeated over and over again there is no horror to this film except the word horrible for the entire picture and arnold who plays a plastic cop is really one sick character please don't waste your time viewing this film,negative +i recently saw this at the 2007 palm springs international film festival where it ended up as one of the audience favorites this is a spoof on the french industry of films of the 50's and 60's the first film based on the novel by jean bruce was brought to the screen in 1956 long before the first james bond film staring as de la bath and six subsequent action adventure spy films were made up to 1970 with luc and john all taking turns as jean is in the title role in this comedic take on the series as the film begins set in 1945 he has a french mustache and resembles but as the film begins it's setting of 1955 he really looks like sean connery jean wrote this hilarious screenplay of a spy sent to egypt to investigate the murder of a friend it borrows on the silliness of naked gun get smart and the pink and uses fresh humor on current events in a delightful combination that international audiences will enjoy and i am sure this will be the only the first of more to come of a to comedy adventures michel directs i would give this a 7 5 and recommend it,positive +lucille ball cannot sing or act or dance this makes the quality of her performance in all the more dreadful she's not allowed to do the low brow slapstick that made her a hit on tv so she has to rely on building a character unfortunately ms ball never learned that skill as none of the tender moments have any warmth how does she really feel about patrick or beau we never really believe the words she says that stare of ms ball is suppose to convince us she is but there is no chemistry between her and bruce robert preston or arthur at all for this reason every scene she's in is flat br br moreover when ms ball opens her mouth to sing we are immediately made aware of the reason why the studios dubbed her voice for every other musical she starred in earlier in her career it was stated that she her voice be used so this is a mistake of ego as well as it is made worse when she is singing in voice over and she has to act the moment without words whoever thought that would work forgot who was playing br br i understand that russell did the role on stage and in the film also i am aware that angela lansbury won a tony for her performance in the original 1966 broadway musical neither of these women were known for their singing voices but both could have pulled this off better than lucille ball why they went with her is the worst in blatant br br the only person that gets out is arthur she's big and wonderful and common in all the right amounts unfortunately you keep waiting for this movie to take off and invite you to join in on the fun but the film never does and you can't no one besides arthur appears to be having any fun br br an additional bad review goes to director gene is known as an award winning director of musicals and comedies for stage and screen including the broadway musical this film is based on none of that skill and expertise is of aid here the poor editing and storytelling in this movie is beneath a director of his caliber that glaring error in the execution of the movie is not the fault of ms ball,negative +a really funny story idea with good actors but it misses somehow the actors are older but none of them looked particularly good they needed better make up photography or something it is supposed to be a love story and yet the film had more of the rough look of a street film i liked the cast but i think the performances were rather bland this is where the weakness of the director shows perhaps if mrs spielberg had mr spielberg directing it would have been a much better film,negative +fred was such a great show it was simple but somehow very i can still remember the days when i'd watch this on kids wb but then kids wb did the unforgivable kids wb became like that older relative that tries to act hip and funky fresh they became like that relative who tries to act all cool but the attempt is a cheesy disaster they pulled fruit and all the other good shows to put on some of the most pointless shows i've ever seen in my life johnny test the only thing that keeps me watching anymore is the occasional bits of the old shows and the anime on it was such a huge mistake to pull this show off of the schedule this brings me back to my first point bring it back,positive +alexander is rightfully held up as a cinematic masterpiece it has however aged very badly people decide not to mention this and talk about the great battles and the great music the sound effects may have been good then but apart from the foreboding all the sounds are i may be shot by film buffs for this but i'm sure the modern viewer of alexander will agree that the blatant propaganda and the appalling music to detract from the film i gave this film 10 10 because it is undeniably a master piece it does have its great bits however the costumes of the knights are superb and the battle scenes are fairly good for the time it is however a master piece that is showing it's age,positive +this film should be called adventures in it is like the screenwriter and director the notes page 3 outline and decided that this would be a great vehicle for a film about the italian rock hudson is pretty good here but the dialogue bears no resemblance to at all this is a made up version of the screenwriter is a hack watch the 1932 version with gary cooper and helen hayes that is great cinema and was made by someone who understood and the war in northern italy gary cooper is very very good compared to his performance in for whom the bell where he is stiff as a board and thinks he is in a western br br anyway if you are a fan do yourself a favor and do not watch this film your best bet is to get the audio cd and just listen to one of the greatest novels ever written,negative +i finally a copy of through netflix and spent new eve watching an amazing drama unfold it began with a getting married to in the of and then a war takes over their romance has to flee to india and is in a camp as she gives birth to a child several years later we see a playful well loved child p s who is the darling or burden of teachers parents and fellow alike in a very how to solve a problem like maria sequence on her birthday she is told by her parents and that she is not their child she was adopted this her confident love filled world and she constantly on why her birth mother left her several attempts at later the parents take her to to try to find her birth mother the country is torn by a raging civil war and the trio are inevitably caught up in the mess but this also leads to their meeting the new one who finally is confronted by and asked why she abandoned her daughter br br the story of a child who has to with the fact that she was abandoned at birth her obsessive drive to with her birth mother the love of the parents the demons that drive the birth mother the of and the horrors of terrorism made a masterful film that many ingredients into a saga that is soul stirring music beautifully the magical and the poignant moments in the film the film has excellent performances from and an absolute role as the abandoned one done by the child p s this performance won her a national award br br the cinematography is visual poetry each frame is beautifully crafted and shot i am intrigued by the connection has with terrorism love and i think his exploration of these subjects is absolutely outstanding character was quite unique his passion and did not make him selfish rather was well matched with how much he cared for the little girl his one liners were hilarious the mother played by was also quite multi dimensional she was idealistic loved the adopted daughter but also worried about her kids the shock angst and obsession of the child was portrayed by p s her wide eyes did most of the talking in fact the enigmatic characters were those of and her husband perhaps deliberately made them mysterious so as to not give us overt ideas of why they were the way they were the of why a terrorist becomes what he or she becomes it also kept him from being this was another conflict in which he took no sides but merely reported while showing the human tragedy br br is visual poetry and a soul stirring drama i rarely in the movies but this one left me eyed and a little this is a beautiful film a treasure and a keeper if you can find a copy beg borrow or steal one today and watch the film,positive +diane keaton is a pathetic actress she is so boring and phony she is the same on and off screen i saw her in an interview with ellen and she behaves exactly the same as she does in movies her foolish facial expressions make me want to change channels she has been in a couple of good movies but they would have been better had someone else been picked for the part steve martin doesn't add much to the movie either he over acts as well and also ruins an old favorite the ridiculous part martin short plays only adds more to the movie i've tried to watch the movie twice but both times had to turn it off,negative +great acting great production values good direction br br but the script starts out with great pacing and interest in the first half and then falls apart in the second half we're clear on character and motivation for the first half but then the second half leaves many questions unanswered br br the conflicts raised are compelling but the follow through is weak for instance we're very clear that is pro war but we don't know if that philosophical stance changes through the course of the film br br this is the sort of picture that makes me want to look up the facts in history books i don't feel i can rely on the film to get a clear idea br br the depiction of the war itself is heart accurate though the women's lack of enthusiasm doesn't reflect the war that swept britain at the time perhaps this is historically accurate like so much in this film i simply don't know,negative +i saw this movie on tv and loved it i am a real disaster film fan and this one was great the cast was made of some really interesting people connie is always great and william is in a league of his own he can play both comedy and thriller in the same movie like few others can the story line is great too the thought of being able to follow a time line of what will happen and to use this time line to prevent a global disaster is an interesting idea and this movie brings it out in such a way that is almost totally believable,positive +latest attempt to revive the series actually based on a pretty good idea but without the required gore fx violence for this type of thriller and thus boring good special fx sets costumes etc but the film comes of just plain silly and a near waste of time hopefully the next installment will correct this problem,negative +oh i remember watching this show at 4 00 p m during my junior high days it was not a pleasant experience because i remember watching it when i made my br br still the show caught my attention when alex displayed her special powers and dealt with the typical junior high problems br br but the show wasn't all about adventures and special powers it was more of an educational effort for a younger audience in order to get more interested in school and overall br br the lead actress can't remember her name and i'm too lazy to copy and from the main details delivered a fantastic performance she made the show watchable br br they just don't make shows like this one anymore,positive +shaggy friendly yet frustrating film has the same old message if you want to make it in this world being imaginative isn't enough you have to live up to your place in society and that means living by the rules that us drag queen comedy drama from australia is a mostly upbeat journey of three male friends traveling across the in their pink bus while not a formula film per se there are the obligatory road movie sequences bonding by the facing down the etc writer director elliott follows every potentially mean spirited moment with a little humor and sympathy but there are puzzling gaps in his narrative a dire subplot about a gay man's relationship with his ex wife and estranged pre teen son both of whom are comfortable and the child wise with his lifestyle and a third act with no energy whatsoever it has some wicked humor and a fairly game cast but a script that seems to have been watered down along the way from,negative +i realize the line on my summary is not too polite br br this film written directed by scott starring don cheadle himself runs a long minutes br br there is a dog in this puppy of a movie he is cute br br the movie opened in 2 u s theatres in late april 2007 for one week all of it quickly went to dvd in early august 2007 br br we were only able to take about 40 minutes before we turned the dvd off br br this was the type of movie that played on lower half of double bill you saw the main film figured lets see what this one is like you might have walked out before we shut it off br br the 3 actors the young ladies in the film all have done deserve better than this br br ratings out of 4 points out of 100 imdb 4 out of 10,negative +i was recommended this film as one of the best love stories ever told and as i am huge fan of love i bought the tickets and sat myself in the theatre after 90 minutes i left the theatre with nothing but disappointment and the theme song as the only positive thing of the film i was appalled at the story itself that two people can love each other but be so afraid as to never act it i just couldn't go passed the language and the cultural the second time i ran into it i was in a different mood no longer had any expectation and had more patience more relaxed mind to see the film and as soon as i opened my eyes i discovered the love the beauty of the film i went beyond the language and the love story and saw the acting not even for a moment did i ever felt like they were acting and the cinematography the first time i heard a definition of what a film is i was told that it should be a chain of perfectly balanced photographs shots and this is the film to match the description almost every shot has an idea behind it and combined with the music and the light effects the result is just a masterpiece and a masterpiece is just something that you must have in your collection of films,positive +can anyone give me a reason why only one american dies in this movie and when he does it is supposed to be a very emotional scene yet when the operation force team kills hundreds of russians in slow motion action scenes or thousands of also in slow motion action scenes you are supposed to cheer and say take that you non american monsters i know i used slow motion action scenes a lot but that is because every action scene in this movie is in you guessed it slow motion every last one of them and this squad should be called slow motion bullet force since they seem to have supernatural powers that help them to dodge bullets and if this supernatural power fails they have some kind of which is all they need to kill the complete non american army that stands between them and victory by this point nobody cares since they have been put to sleep by another laughable slow motion action scene that is if they are not laughing out loud at the bad acting cheesy dialogues and incredibly poor story which is what i did the cast is made of unknown actors which will probably remain unknown since they don't even play characters they are just playing guys with guns and lets not forget the only quality is that the special effects are surprisingly not that bad although they are in slow motion for a tv movie but it still sucks and at the same time is so bad it's good ok maybe at the end it gets a little too repetitive br br 25,negative +the was by far a very pitiful film i do not use this word loosely as it honestly was a poor excuse for a movie i finished watching this feature with only one word on my mind … why honestly you could use this question at the end of every scene of this film and it would seem like it fit there were so many inconsistencies that lead to a lack of development both in the story and in the characters which ultimately lead to a very confusing film with actors walking through the motions instead of giving any explanation scenes would occur with no understanding or drive to a complete ending it was as if i was watching several different ideas thrown together without really any resolution actors were setting events in motion that did not seem to fit their character or really were resolved this was my biggest issue with this film the complete and utter lack of structure to this film brought all of foundation down with a genuine effect being felt throughout the rest of the film as a result br br let me explain myself further on this lack of throughout the film i would this film to a bowl of that had a in it it made no sense nor was there any logic behind it all driver was the worst of this deed her character's lines were drawn very fuzzy and nearly transparent she would do things like talk about sex all the time with her sister but yet she seemed very open to sexual experiences all the time she has her first moment of passion in this film and there is no pain or excitement it happens and this just didn't seem to fit the original conversation that we had at the beginning of the film with and her sister she is a very intelligent woman that accidentally finds a solution to problem and suddenly wants full rights to his invention that was confusing and completely random is it not obvious to anyone else that her teaching methods were non existent anyone in their right mind could see that she wasn't teaching daughter anything the sudden and awkward relationship that randomly forms between driver and jonathan rhys meyers nearly had me laughing out loud i thought maybe i had discovered some magic in this film as rhys meyers literally into the scene and suddenly caused some drama it felt that the director or writer was thinking that the original story was going nowhere fast so by adding this random character we may be able to advance the plot a bit or confuse the lesser film well it didn't fool me i saw that he was nearly a cut and character used to an already story don't get me started on the ending which had no to the rest of the story again using the cut and method the writer of this film needed a way to just end the story and this was the only solution they could arrive to it is sad when actors are forced to do things out of character … but i guess that is the name of the game in hollywood fix until completely broken or at least br br the remainder of the story was there were maybe a handful of neat cinematography moments where you could see that there was one of creativity trying to peak through coupled with some bars of decent period piece music but nothing to write to grandma about more family structure with some stronger could have this film a bit more but as i stated before by leaving open ended scenes just lying around the entire film you will experience a crack in your foundation what may seem like a story will eventually wear down over time and by the end of this film i felt that the house was down on top of me plays his normal self in this film while driver apparently did not want to get naked but everyone else had too i will have to see a doctor after those images were burned into my eyes … also she wore the same dress everyday that was disgusting and i could smell her through the television sex and dirty now there is a great film for you there just seemed to be some potential floating around here but instead it was just rubbish nothing was answered questions seemed to fall like snow in and mediocrity seemed to reign supreme br br overall this could have been a decent film that combined the powerful themes of science and love together but instead it was just pitiful i cannot stress enough the disturbing fact that characters were going through motions without any sort of pre explanation i don't need cinematic moments handed to me like a child but something should have been done to build a foundation just remember the with a that i used if you were as confused about that as i was then you will completely understand the film the while if you prefer in your … then maybe this film is for you br br grade out of,negative +first of all it is sheer joy to hear the legend perform such wonderful and timeless music this movie and soundtrack is a tour de force ray charles is unique and amazing i truly the film as it was inspiring and entertaining throughout br br jamie foxx has become one of the premiere actors in hollywood as is clearly shown in ray and he should get an oscar for this role it is in fact everyone who worked on this film should receive i really liked washington who played the exceptional wife ray charles obviously married well king is a fine actress as well as the extraordinary sharon warren who plays a struggling young mother br br in all honesty i'd say this whole project was arranged the entire cast was perfect great screenplay and awesome settings major props to the director taylor and crew for doing such a splendid job in bringing the life of ray charles to the screen so this is my picture of the year certainly one of the best films ever made,positive +when i saw jr and boris karloff in the cast i was expecting to find a typically 1950's style horror movie the opening scene a graveyard with a wolf howling in the background seemed to confirm this once i began watching it though what i discovered was a nifty little mystery about an richard green seeking to discover what had happened to two of his friends who had disappeared in the black forest and if necessary to take revenge against the evil count stephen who ruled the territory as the had a rather limited role one which reminded me of the of dame actually while karloff had a somewhat more substantial role as dr in fact was one of the more interesting characters in the movie and it was difficult to know until the very end whether he would be established to be a good guy or a bad guy the castle set was magnificent and even the limited depiction of the black forest was real enough it certainly didn't come across as low budget compared to other movies i've seen anyway the only disappointment i thought was rita performance as the she seemed somewhat dry and didn't seem to put much passion into the role br br that aside i found that this movie held my attention throughout and there was enough suspense about how this was all going to turn out to make it well worth the watching definitely recommended with a 7 10 rating,positive +typical story of an evil kid going after people i suspect that antonio bear on and and vincent didn't want to stress this junk on their actually left this life with a mostly good resume sometimes i wish that the killers in these movies would just go after the idiots who decide that we need a new one of these movies every other month note that comment is not to be taken seriously i just think that slashers have lost their touch br br anyway this is one movie that you'll do best to avoid it's ninety minutes to two hours that i'll never get back,negative +you know that commercial where the guy has a mouth full of or whatever it is and he's trying really hard to keep from spitting it up into the sink that's a great metaphor for this movie i kept watching even though it was really difficult but keeping in your mouth will leave you with a fresh feeling this movie left me with a bad taste in my mouth i should have spit it out when i had the chance br br the premise is corny enough to be fun for the first time in like a thousand years have returned to romania and all of the priests who knew how to fight and kill these things are long dead it's up to michael and some other secret agents to get to the bottom of things before the run amok unfortunately the premise is completely lost in bad dialog and less than enthusiastic acting on the part of the human leads the best acting is done by the cg br br in the end this movie feels like a poor man's van if you check your brain at the door this might get you through a dreary monday night i gave it 3 out of 10 stars,negative +i just adore this film i love all characters and i can watch it again br br and again and i use to listen to the soundtrack again and again br br although i have seen it about two years after it was made and i br br have never been such as and company i can br br understand them and i love their stories and if somebody thinks this film is crap i disagree and i say it is br br full of positive energy and friendship and love and full of youth br br the weekend has landed enjoy it,positive +this film is outstanding on this date of 8 2007 it was on on demand from show time it had been a while since i seen it but it does feature thomas jane in the first role i seen him in at first you see a normal guy that seems kind of with a wife that seems close to going her own way the directors cut which i just watched has a opening scene that is cool is dressed as a type looking very fresh and hot trying to buy a coffee late at night with no small bills turns violent in a hurry shows that her name on her letter jacket is the real deal meeting up with his old road pal nick played by aaron was cool at first and he even him his wife's car to take care of some business then he spots silver and the day changes for the weird and violent there is a cast of real characters that parade through the next series of scenes but dallas steals the show i think her telling of a story to the doctor that is there to get a personal interview in a is outrageous as a rule i have never thought tall women were that sexy but as with any rule there are exceptions is as one has never seen her before in films sexy and lethal like in the one movie with tom but with a never seen before if your looking for film to add to your collection this one is worth the price in the nude is worth the price alone but this story has everything one might hope one has love friendship sex and violence in a terrific mix when i first seen it years ago it blew my mind and i know you will feel the same way,positive +why did they not follow the book i am really sad and disappointed i was so looking forward to seeing this movie however if you have read the book maybe recently it might be very difficult to remain objective my wife had not read the book and she loved the movie br br reasons for the disappointment are 1 involvement gone with the wind such a shame there is a very small part at the start where the is created but even that does not stick to the facts why not the fact that father was burned with the first brand which is how got involved would have been a perfect start to the movie 2 story line between the deceased and completely gone this completely up the motive for the stealing of the 3 story line between and completely non existent br br all in all too storyline and cannot understand that dan brown allowed them to put his name against it maybe i should this film in 10 years time when i cannot remember the excellent book anymore fat chance on forgetting the book i am afraid br br really sorry for the negative review which was by expectations,negative +if you have ever wanted to know more about cab drivers then this is an excellent movie to watch for purposes only i can just hear it now wait just wait a second why don't we follow a cab driver through his entire day are funny and so are the people they meet and they only talk to each other for just a couple of minutes so the other actors should be cheap harry you take care of production joan you've got brian you go round up some actors and we'll all meet back here tomorrow to start filming br br the first 90 of the movie could not have been any worse had that very thing happened at least with no planning whatsoever there is always the element of surprise to be found some of jim movies have stuff added as they go along and they always do well at the box the problem here is that the first 90 is pretty well scripted out and it pretty much sucks paul dillon plays the cab driver in chicago who is working all day we pretty much see what he sees people get in and out of his car and he drives all around town he talks to those people for a few seconds and then we get some more people br br i'll admit there were a couple of funny bits here and there a religious family tries to talk the cab driver into going to church with them he takes a pregnant lady and her husband to the hospital breaks up a rich businessman from his girlfriend a poor girlfriend from her boyfriend and takes a rape victim home i guess the moral of the movie is that a cab driver is more than a cab driver and has a larger of influence over the lives of his passengers than you might originally think for some people he's just a means of getting from here to there but for others his very ordinary words help change the direction of their lives br br the last passenger of the day is used to try make sense of the rest of the movie and to a small extent it succeeds it had a bit of that feel to it where the good majority of the movie sucks and then at the very end it tries to make it all better in just one or two changes i wasn't too impressed with the movie as a whole but there were a few bits and pieces worth watching again as far as the actors go paul dillon is it john cusack gillian anderson and moore are all in this for about 30 seconds each but don't watch this for any of them or you will most certainly be disappointed i will give the other people some credit that it's not your ordinary movie they have produced here but it wasn't a very good one either there just wasn't enough material to keep you going for an hour and a half it was a decent effort but it failed none the same,negative +this is a made for tv movie by hallmark hallmark has always made quality movies that are family just is a boy and girl fall in love while working together movie two for a 250 000 prize against a field of professional it is fun and light hearted the look great the movie has a catchy upbeat little song played during the competition i assume that it is a made for the movie song by roger to bad that no soundtrack is available i would really like to get a copy of the song i don't even know the name of the song because the credits are at the end of the movie to make room for hundreds of anyway the cast is great it is always nice to see brenda she is very and upbeat lauren holly is always a plus and rounds out the good guys with a wonderful performance professional chef has a guest appearance the movie is worth watching,positive +well to do american with more money than brains buys a villa in much more money whilst having to over the price she subsequently manages to cook for her and wander around italy with no job or apparent means of support interminable boredom and the inevitable italian lover ensue this is a chick flick in the most sense of the term lane acts like an clueless teenage throughout which with her seriously looks along the way into a variety of mostly italian cardboard stereotypes and among them with unnecessary scenes the most ridiculous being a clumsily inserted and pointless recreation of the scene in a similar was used in an effective and appropriate narrative context in norman vastly superior to italy and romance may be the most piece of cinema of the last decade despite its admittedly well of italy bonus negative point for the lover in at the last minute to provide requisite hollywood ending for its targeted audience of oprah avoid at all costs unless of course you view oprah and dr phil as of intelligent,negative +kathy ireland the body of a the face of an angel the voice of a br br and the acting talent of a full of if you don't believe me check this out alien from l a actually depends on her to act throughout 9 10 of the movie sure she ends up in a nice red bikini top and a wrap around near the end but that's too little so to speak too late br br seems ireland plays the daughter of a renowned scientist who falls down into the center of the earth to find him along the way she falls for a guy named yes like the toilet paper make your own jokes and finds out how mad max rejects live did you know that people that live down deep in the earth have accents neither did i br br it's bad it was after all and also a production but after all is said and done ireland just basically looks lost like she's trying to find where the are so she can do a photo shoot instead br br and i don't blame her br br one star and if you insist on watching this do so with the sound turned off save your,negative +a cut above from the usual straight to video has enough in the tank to keep it going for the full 90 minutes although you can't help but think of how low former comedy golden boy steve has to be in such a cheap production and playing a hard man too the plot is simple the baddies have stolen a deadly virus and and the rest of his pals are sent to retrieve it not bad of its kind but not in the same league obviously as the films it is compared too on the cover such as air force one and con air the cast is good though with sean bean his brit bad guy character which we have had a glimpse of in such box office as and games,negative +an unusual film for an audience outside the usa lena looks fabulous and so does ralph cooper there is not added background of tap steps as in other musicals so you do not hear the beat of the which is great realism music is muted to hear what dancing steps there are acting is a little stilted and the casts speak slowly so that you think the movie is older than it is costumes are daring for the time in the dance routines at the end often feels like you are part of an audience at a stage show what furniture you see is very modern which adds to the movies feeling of other a must for all film buffs,positive +this has got to be the most appalling abuse of the word comedy ever witnessed it is simply not funny and the have obviously just tried to use the name of the tv series in order to make a few at the box office this film makes a carry on seem subtle as far as sexual innuendo goes no mean feat and has all the charisma of a corpse with a complete i'm afraid,negative +medical student paula wins a place at an medical school when the body of a young man she met on the train turns up on her table she begins to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death and a gruesome conspiracy by an secret society operating within the school disturbing and gross lots of scary parts it even has a good script and ending but it has a one poor part what else could you see from this movie it's a good mystery and horror movie but of course if you like it go buy it if you don't there still is not reason to waste your money on this br br rated r for extreme graphic violence sexual situations and profanity,negative +we brought this film as a joke for a friend and could of been our worst joke to play the film is barely watchable and the acting is dire the worst child actor ever used and giving a performance the plot is and at points we was so bored we was wondering what the hell was going on it tries to be gruesome in places but is just laughable br br just terrible,negative +eh eh hey dude look at these aliens they're like biting the humans and stuff eh eh eh br br this must rank amongst the worst movies of all time it's utter drivel for anyone with a of a brain sure you have the reviewers on the who give glowing reviews and vote highly for this abomination but it's easy to tell who these sell outs are their reviews are too good to give a movie like this even a mediocre review claiming it had some b movie appeal would be a glowing review calling this a great movie the hands of the corporate br br but enough of that br br this movie had about all the bad characteristics a movie can have without being so bad that it's enjoyable just to laugh at the old japanese 60's monster films had a quality that this movie lacked at least in those 60's films you could laugh at just how bad the rubber monster suit looked or laugh at seeing the strings holding the space ships how the models on the strings and how the flames out of the back those movies made fun of how bad they were alien express aka dead seems to actually think of itself as a good movie which makes it incredibly absurd br br the effects were awful by today's standards beyond awful however not quite as bad as the 60's monster movies hence they lacked the comedic appeal the plot and dialogue were about as as i've ever seen made even worse by being every bit as predictable as you might expect i won't even point out the plot and logic holes in this one it just wouldn't be fair to this plot plus it would take to long to even get started most of the acting was awful lou diamond phillips must have been very desperate to agree to touch this one br br scifi channel is rapidly becoming the cheap thrills channel producing movie after movie without an of concept or intelligence in the lot i can only wonder why bother br br don't bother with this tripe it doesn't get any worse,negative +i gave this show a chance because of white not for his character but mainly for the the voice so anyway like i said i gave it a chance and i was very fond of it i never cared for the character so i was pleased to see mr white in a role other than the ever so annoying nerd and his j first called but come the second episode everyone started calling him j was very entertaining and interesting br br i think my favorite episode was when j was dating the ex with the kid don't you talk that way my this is grown up talk you stay down there the only i have is that the show was suppose to have 3 main characters but mr character always seemed to have the most attention and the other two who are married always had the back stories it isn't exactly a good thing when a story about those two possibly being pregnant takes to j having to his dog br br other than that i really wish this show could have lasted a little longer it seems that people weren't interested in white as something other than the god awful annoying ass nerd known as br br hope they at least put it out as a dvd box set,positive +thinking that it could only get better was the worst i ever made br br does not describe this movie appropriately enough br br not only is the plot thin but i get more emotional acting from my pet fish br br it was a shame to see pete whom i respect as an actor trying to do the best with the little he had to work with br br i think that a cardboard cut out of stephen baldwin would have done a better job and in fact have been more br br avoid at all costs this could really be to your health,negative +bell witch haunting aka the haunt is an american horror movie supposedly based on real events that took place during the period to br br this is not to be confused with bell witch the movie a movie starring based on the same events however i can say that i wish i had seen this other movie instead of the one i saw i enjoyed chilling performance in friday the 13th as such i believe that even on a bad day she'd pull off a better performance than anyone involved in the travesty known as the haunt br br with regard to my heading this movie is not painful to watch because the content is disturbing it is painful to watch because it is just downright boring br br reading the positive reviews for this movie i could only identify three possibilities the first possibility these authors were involved in the production in some way the second possibility the authors whilst not directly involved were paid to write positive reviews after production was completed the final possibility none of these authors has seen a sufficient number of horror movies and therefore is inexperienced with the concepts that successful attempts br br the setting for the plot is robertson county james receives a visit from two eager to hear the story of the bell witch the story is told as a series of flashbacks a series of supernatural events begin happening at the home of john bell and his family it soon that a vengeful spirit is behind it all br br on the surface the plot appears to be a standard affair albeit one based on real events br br where execution of the brilliant concept is concerned however just about everything that could go wrong does go wrong and then some br br first the acting the acting is almost uniformly terrible right across the board this factor does the most damage to the production any possible credibility of belief or interest on the part of the viewer the voice of the vengeful spirit sounds more like a teenage girl experiencing teenage angst rather than a powerful demonic force expressing intent i almost laughed when i heard some of her lines unfortunately this voice began to become very annoying very quickly i may not have been alive in the but i find it incredibly hard to believe that any young woman alive at that time would speak in the way that this ghost does br br second the direction the direction is and very uneven some scenes show promise but potential is by the clearly inexperienced director nothing is done with the camera with sound or with lighting to add intensity to the scenes intended to be scary the atmosphere is equally flat a vengeful spirit is supposedly behind supernatural yet the effects are so incredibly inept that no one who has seen a proper horror movie would buy into them i'll give one example in one scene the spirit attacks someone see the scene for yourself it's almost funny almost br br third the script whilst it may be the case that the events shown are faithful to accounts of real it cannot be denied that most scenes are incredibly flat and boring scenes as short as two minutes feel much longer thanks to the poor dialogue dialogue that fails to add depth to the characters or story this movie is far too on conversations to advance the story whilst this style was also the case with british movies from the british horror of the 1960s and 1970s it cannot be denied that the dialogue were always interesting to watch in these more professional earlier works peter cushing for example could read a and still hold attention of the viewers the same cannot be said of the actors in the haunt br br finally the humour the ill guided attempts at humour in this movie are excruciating an boy is the butt of many jokes one particularly awful scene sees the said boy going to the outside toilet this scene should never have been included but it is and complete with sound effects in case you fail to understand what he is doing br br the only positive points about the movie are the location and the costumes the decision to shoot the picture near the original location helped add some authenticity the costumes were also well chosen br br overall the haunt is an appalling movie it is not even in the so bad it's good league it is instead just boring i advise everyone to save their money and avoid this movie like the plague don't even bother seeing it for free br br i have never seen the other movie about the bell witch but it really couldn't be any worse than the haunt could it i'll give this other movie a chance if i can track it down br br in the meantime i would advise everyone on here to check out some proper horror movies about ghosts and haunting the legend of hell house the the grudge japanese original and one missed call japanese original are good places to start,negative +little needs to fly is another in the remarkable body of work that is without having recently it on dvd nearly a decade after its initial us release in 1997 it has lost none of its power and one can see its influence on documentaries as diverse as own recent man and errol academy award winning the fog of war like the former it details in its far too brief minutes the life of an interesting american like the latter it gives a at a side of war that few see yes we see the violence and the but as the fog of war brought us into the mind of one of last foremost this film allows us a at the life of a who is captured by the enemy tortured and ultimately except in no way shape nor form is the film as simplistic nor upbeat as my brief description of it nor is little needs to titular subject and immigrant german who survived the of the nazis we find out as example that in his hometown in the black forest his grandfather was the only man not to vote for hitler and suffered brutally for that stand post world war two germany and his own at the hands of the when his air force jet was shot down over on 1st while the title of the film and the idea of passion for becoming a pilot by the impression allied fighter planes made on him when they his town as a child make one believe that is the central subject of the film this is not true the subject is survival or more precisely his human will all human will the details of romantic life are too hollywood and an aspect to interest nor is the fact that he won a purple heart of honor the d f c and the navy cross that thing which pushed to survive so much and remain such a relatively upbeat man although there are glimpses of darker sides is what is at the center of this film and all of of his past is fully country and the use of a e during many jungle scenes among other excellent touches in the score show is perhaps along with only martin scorsese the best of image and music in film long may he,positive +a team of amateur and tree catches wind of a secret government project project on a remote south pacific island the scientists there are producing giant sized corn but the are to other species creating large dragons and a one that's bullet proof and underwater with the help of the daughter can they escape the island and tell the world even if i hadn't seen this film on the sci fi channel which sadly i did it would scream sci fi channel with its low production value weak acting and some of the worst special effects in history the effects here are comparable to another creature film island although not nearly as bad i would suspect that there must be at least a handful of people that worked on both films but i haven't bothered to confirm that and probably won't it will be a sad day when i see either of them films again br br which is not to say it's not enjoyable i watched it at two in the morning with my sister's boyfriend and i can't speak for him but i thought it was a pretty good use of time as bad the whole thing is it's a fun picture if you like to make fun of movies and the daughter is attractive enough to carry the film i believe the name is michelle michael also appears as a ship captain and his poor choice of roles here actually makes his work on look respectable even if that movie is bad br br i can't be too hard on this film simply because it was more or less exactly what i thought it would be bad effects low budget no name actors i didn't have any higher hopes yet this doesn't mean that it's awesome either coming in at par is nothing to be proud of and this one will slowly fade into the distant memory department for the one fan who likes this film and calls it hold on to your copy because you'll have a heck of a time getting a replacement,negative +this is a truly terrible sci fi horror film from 1957 in fact despite ed wood jr and his dreadful films getting a lot of publicity this turkey is every bit as bad as the worst of wood now the acting is a bit better than you'd find in the wood epics such as plan 9 and bride of the monster but the special effects managed to be significantly worse than however bad movie will be happy to hear that it's so bad that it's still excellent viewing like a wood film it's great to watch this crap fest and laugh along with your friends br br the film begins with a scientist flying about doing some testing in his jet however out of nowhere a by and his report of this over the radio a panic by the air force however later they realized that the didn't appear on the radio and they think the scientist is a nut but when soon after this planes start disappearing all over they realize there must be something to his br br so far the film isn't great but it's watchable however by the time the horrible flying monster appears you know you're watching a turkey first through horrid use of stock film and crappy models keep changing mid flight some may not be bothered by this but with airplane lovers like me seeing an f 80 turning into an f to an f fighter plane made me crazy especially since the planes look nothing like each other second through clever cinematography all you really see of the monster is a ball of for half the film this is frustrating and you hope that when you finally do see it clearly it will be worth the wait well no such luck the monster looks less realistic or scary than the duck from you bet your life tv show in fact it's significantly less realistic than any of the japanese giant monsters in fact big bird from street is even a bit scarier and realistic it's just god awful in every way and might just be the dumbest movie monster in history about as bad or worse as the monsters in robot monster or teenagers from outer space the bottom line is that this is an absolutely dreadful film that sane people won't like bad film fans like me who are a crazy bunch will probably love it all others be afraid be very afraid br br you might notice that some clips in this film are from other sci fi movies i am positive the crashing washington scene was stolen from earth vs the flying but i also saw a couple other scenes that i swear are from other films what a hack job,negative +an intelligent and well film worth to br br in this and really intelligent movie filmed entirely in you can feel the total meaning of the word although is a film the title is in presented in english br br the story is about nicolas a photographer who find his girlfriend having an affair with his boss victor owner of a magazine after this nicolas is left without girlfriend and without any job nicolas revenge to consists in following him and photographs of him with his new affair alexandra to blackmail in order to obtain money in change for not showing the photographs to br br the story is really intelligent and well related to the point that you'll understand fully the meaning of the title the movie shows a thriller with a lot of a comic scenes and characters resulting in a real pleasure to someone that enjoy the movies focused on a good script br br i stand out here that this film is different from the typical movies that show's some dark and violent image of our beautiful country which is something really refreshing some critics say that this story don't show typical way of living so it could be held in any part of the world i disagree with this 1 the movie is totally filmed in so you can see streets and images of the real capital i hope that some american people and movie producers watch this so they stop showing jungle or mexican little towns in as on some hollywood movies 2 the characters dialogs accent with exception from nicolas that is from are totally from here has an accent typical from 3 you can also see social and cultural differences from the common people in i hope that all this plus an english title move people from other countries to watch this masterpiece of br br excellent acting of luis detective wilson outstanding as detective and good acting of and br br a movie worth to that people from around the globe will surely understand and enjoy don't miss

desperately sad and vile anti br br was born out of the novel written by richard brooks adapted by john paxton and directed by the excellent edward titled cradle of fear is a taut and gripping picture that anti tho the makers were forced to tone down the story from the original source the novel is about homosexual hatred as opposed to anti what remains largely due to rko and producer adrian scott is a sort of that with style br br the cast features three young mitchum and ryan with noir darling gloria adding the emotional female heart tho only third billed it's robert picture all the way his portrayal as the bullying conniving is from the top draw and perfectly showcases the talent that he had in abundance ryan had good cause to give some of is best work for he had served in the with richard brooks himself both men having discussed the possibility that if the novel was to be made into a film then ryan wanted in and to play thus the of career as types was born gloria also puts in a wonderful and heartfelt turn which is all the more remarkable since she was being plagued by her abusive husband at the time stanley was known to be violent towards her and his constant presence around the set others in the cast but probably real life emotion became the character of and very bright indeed both bob mitchum and bob young come out with flying colours as well to really seal the deal on what a acted picture really is br br tho was released before the other anti picture and in over a million and a quarter dollars at the box office some of its thunder was stolen by the academy award winning picture from fox studio nominated for best picture best supporting actor ryan best supporting actress best director and best screenplay it won nothing but critics of the time it as a brilliant shift in american cinema and today it stands tall proud and dark as a bold and excellent piece of work 8 5 10,positive +i watched this movie for the first time a few weeks ago and it was quite possibly one of the most boring unfunny films i ever had the misfortune of seeing first of all matthew is a terrible actor and ruined most of the movie on top of that the plot is just way too silly the only reason a checked into this film was because of alec baldwin and his character was eliminated pretty quickly unless you are a fan of michelle you should probably avoid this movie like the plague many people can't praise this film enough but i just cannot figure out what people find so terrific about it if its supposed to be the black humor that makes this film so terrific then i guess anything can pass for comedy these days,negative +the film is one of the best horror films i have ever seen overall i'm not a big fan of horror films but there is something about this film that is more atmospheric and different from any other horror film i have ever seen many horror films i've seen i've enjoyed watching however as they are based on horror i know that the stories are unreal as they are fictional therefore i can't take them all seriously on the other hand is a unique horror genre as it has a feel of realism that i've seen in very few other horror films br br this films story on how a man gets murdered and ends up living with the undead in an underground cemetery shelter with undead monsters is the kind of story a person would get from a dreaming nightmare as its a very unique and original storyline most horror films i've seen are all quite fake but because was so incredibly sophisticated and directed with superb acting especially by craig aaron amazing special effects great lighting and fantastic dialogue i found this film to have a sense of depth and maturity with no silly fake horror parody whatsoever that many other horror films have as well as being horror has elements of thriller romance and action all in one if you haven't seen this film i recommend you watch it as i rate it a 10 10,positive +i bought x m on dvd in a two pack with destination moon now i see why the did that no one who had ever seen this movie would buy it on its own br br i cannot what school system turned out the reviewer who claimed that is great in its of how space travel would take place launch straight up and then do a 90 degree right turn and circle faster and faster until you reach escape i don't think i recall that from the apollo program never mind that the should be once they shut off the gravity changes directions every time they pass through the to the engine room going to the moon but missed it no problem it's just a hop skip and a jump with a helping hand from divine and you'll be at mars and ok if you want to put life on mars given the state of knowledge in 1950 it was a forgivable convention for the sake of the storytelling but can you make them look at least a little alien these martians looked like extras from the cast of 10 000 b c i can accept some scientific mistakes but this wouldn't pass with an above average second br br and that's aside from the screaming plot holes 12 minutes before launch as you're reminded of constantly by the p a voice saying x minus so many minutes the are giving a press i guess the time is why dr didn't change out of his coat and tie before into space and how handy that even though they were planning to go to the moon and had pressure suits for that they brought gear and just in case they ended up at mars they're lucky they landed anywhere since apparently the method they had developed for landing was to have dr e look out the window and tell the pilot lloyd bridges to down the every now and then note to the of the 2 how about giving the pilot a window seat br br the previous comments on the casual that had eye candy dr lisa doom them all by repeatedly up her fuel but hey that was the early she was there to fill her not a useful function br br x m is notable for being one of the first of the first films to say we're all going to blow ourselves up with these here a bombs but one can note that about it without wasting minutes watching such dreck by the way that message might have had a bit more impact had there been some money in the budget for actual sets of the martian city ruins rather than just paintings br br i can appreciate good bad sci fi for the unique way the future used to look and for the inherent if condescending humor you can find when when we look back on the of audiences 60 years ago but this film must have been insulting even then x m isn't even suitable for an mst3k style sometimes bad is just bad br br anybody want to buy a dvd used only once i swear,negative +okay when i bought this flick i though this gotta be the ultimate b movie space monkey landing to the earth and starts right away to kill people br br well it was almost everything what i expected typical low budget scifi movie from the 60's acting has to be the worst i've ever seen especially the girl playing the lead role and the girl that played the waitress made me laughing my ass off br br so why doesn't fall in to category bad that it's reason why is that some of the scenes were just too long and boring for example the scene were the police officers are searching clues in the woods it was just minutes of walking without purpose and then the grand finale the people's waiting for the monster about 5 minutes and when the space monkey appears it get in 20 second end of film br br yeah is boring but it got couple of funny moments i can recommend this movie to all who liked films like the thing from or of the swamp br br i give 4 space monkey out of 10 br br rob gruesome,negative +david attenborough brings his fascination of wild life this time the creatures under the sea in this extraordinary 8 episode trip to all the animals under the sea br br the cinematography is astounding bringing to the screen truly breathtaking footage of those but the best thing about it as well as seeing each episode is how they made it whether it is making models of creatures or those impressive shots of the they explain to you in about 10 minutes how they did it br br 2001 had some great tv shows to our screen but in contrast to this documentary gem they make them pretty lame but to even this documentary series as the best tv series of 2001 just does not sum up the sheer brilliance that this series provides in quality entertainment br br overall this is the best tv series of 2001 with no competition and maybe the best tv series of,positive +my original comment on this particular title was deleted by a imdb user or the staff only because i just happen to dislike this film to the point i had to sincerely write what i felt after seeing this poor excuse for a film where's my freedom of word br br obviously this movie was made by students so lame and amateurish it felt of course even they have to start from somewhere the script was incoherent mess and so was the acting with low budget and b class actors what can you expect there's some cgi in places so poor it looks like done with an old pc some may say this is sort of an alien clone only this time it's dracula in a vintage costume who's sucking the other cast dry one by one the sets are unconvincing cheap and small rooms although the story takes place in a large space craft br br it would be fun to know what the stars erika casper van and thought about the film after it was released must be the worst turned actor ever br br it was a total waste of my time and money don't know why i even bothered to rent this flick honestly i just hate this film with uwe house of the dead dracula 3000 shares the questionable honor of being the worst movie ever well i've seen even worse than these two br br avoid any other film will do better,negative +this movie has some good lines but watching less than masterful rourke just left me wanting to see the original i like marisa tomei but she's no faye br br also in my opinion the number one movie rule is to make the lead character someone you care about you might not love the character but you should care what happens to him this is achieved in with the hilarious running gag about the fights with eddie the bartender the main fight in is when completely he stalks up to the lily taylor character in a bar punches her to the floor and calls her a whore br br the whole thing just didn't work again some great lines some laugh out loud funny but as a movie overall it's a fail mediocre attempt at something that was brilliant and you can't get past that next let's remake breakfast at with kate hudson,negative +it was so disjointed it seemed to jump from place to place and the thief was obvious it was a poor man's not to mention high school less than zero i would pass on this movie as it has very little to add so many issues are left and that's okay but the fact that it jumps around to the point where you wonder what's exactly going on is terrible the voice over is needed because the movie doesn't work on its own avoid this movie and watch something else about rich teen angst i'm sure there are plenty of others to watch don't waste your time on this,negative +i'll admit that the first time i managed to catch sci sci fi prime was last week but despite the fact that i was a huge fan coming into the experience is now easily my favorite of the four shows br br unlike most modern sci fi shows including the two new star trek series this show manages to be fun without coming across as fodder for mst3k,positive +in many ways the perfect movie the incredible journey and tale come together for a positive spin on the usually depressing subject of in essence the of the muppets down to the finale song of the movie life's like a movie write your own ending keep believing keep pretending they create their own reality which has all the of every epic tale a goal at the end of what is necessarily a laden journey an ever increasing group of like minded individuals for a nasty set of who are not beyond all redemption and a big budget hollywood ending because darn it all they can br br only jim could pull this off he walks the line between sentimentality and philosophy without too long or too hard into either of course it seems odd that such weight into a film starring puppets but in the end perhaps they are the perfect uh puppet to make these points the movie's atmosphere allows for the pure enjoyment of the hollywood dream the happy ending unnecessary cameos and into song at the drop of a hat usually these aspects are to quality in film but the self manner under which the story is delivered makes for guilt free viewing one of the few films that can truly be called suitable for all ages br br the other muppet related films including the empire strikes back while do not touch the simple grace of this film take for instance the musical number hope that something better comes along the of and amusing in its yet makes a crucial point about the motivations behind life choices brilliant,positive +oh how awfully this movie is i don't know if it is a horror film or a drama cause the story and the both genres are not established very well the story is not moving it is slow boring and sleepy from the beginning to end this movie really me but i really liked the camera work it is authentic fresh and clear the acting is great too the little boy was the great performer in this movie but it hasn't made me to jump from my seat but this movie makes me grab a lay on the bed and sleep until the credits roll br br boring not worth watching i tell you this movie sucked br br 1 10,negative +great film no gratuitous gimmicks like in most hollywood films everything supported the suspense of the plot b w gave it a basic no feel also in short it was visceral in its simplicity of cinematography and cast br br following serves as an interesting contrast to characters in both used manipulation and in that sense both reminded me somewhat of in the company of men also highly one difference between two films is that was a little easier for me to follow given that the b w scenes progress in a constant direction and so do those in color i don't think that was true of following where scenes seemed to be shown at random if you have the choice between vcr and dvd i'd highly recommend dvd since that gives you the option of watching the movie a second time in order not just in the albeit order presented by nolan it also makes it easier upon a second viewing to piece the order together for yourself if you want to br br as another viewer noted one of the best things about both this movie and is that none of the cast were famous they were characters not big name actors who brought in developed in other movies br br given certain similarities in the plots i wonder if is sort of a remake of following but intended to reach a bigger audience like edward burns made she's the one in the mold of and with largely the same cast as the brothers,positive +these days asian horror films are among the best in the world noted for their atmosphere and reflection of contemporary society this is not one of those films instead the record is a mediocre slasher movie highly derivative of american movies like i know what you did last summer and scream the plot is familiar 5 teenagers commit a terrible crime but cover it up swearing to one year later they're being stalked by a knife wielding maniac with the disguise of a hospital mask and an orange it doesn't help that the teenagers are a generally unlikable group this is one of those movies where the killer's motives seem pretty reasonable and there are numerous stupid plot to keep the story going the direction of the movie is more influenced by mtv than by current asian horror films like the ring the last third of the movie isn't too bad though delivering some decent suspense scenes though there is probably one twist too many in the end 4 10,negative +twins effect starring some of most popular stars provides one of the most enjoyable film experiences to come out of hk in sometime it has something for everyone action comedy horror romance and some drama this film can't be taken too seriously otherwise you'd go in but if you leave your brain at the door and just watch the film for some fun you're bound to enjoy it br br great special effects excellent action cute twins cool hk actors fun film br br i'd recommend it to anyone,positive +i to watching this movie with a group of friends despite my extreme dislike for horror movies however it was not the shock of a monster that turned me off this movie it was the horrendous acting and absolutely disgusting ending within or the has no redeeming qualities it is poorly made laughably scripted bloody and the inclusion of the gratuitous final scene me no it is not my dislike for horror movies that makes me hate this film i've seen such wonderful teen horrors as house of wax its the fact that the film leaves you with the awful understanding that by renting the video you are supporting the creators of within,negative +as a bruce campbell fan for nearly two decades i was thrilled to have an opportunity to see his latest film on the big screen with the man himself in unfortunately man with the screaming brain was itself a disappointment br br set in where the sci fi channel makes its saturday night original films man with the screaming brain is a curious mix of b movie horror body switching comedy violent revenge flick and overdone slapstick with a touch of romantic if that doesn't make sense well neither does man with the screaming brain campbell plays a company who visits with his estranged wife in an inexplicable attempt to in the former communist country's half finished subway system the two fall in with a former agent turned cab driver and all three ultimately meet their demise at the hands of a vengeful gypsy woman br br a local scientist and his goofy assistant ted who have developed a technique to allow without the possibility of steal the bodies and place a portion of the cab brain into damaged skull also they put his wife's brain into a robotic body they just happen to have at hand br br campbell escapes and with a skull and the voice of the cab driver whose brain controls the left side of his body in his head sets off to find and kill the gypsy his robot wife does the same br br but first there's an attempt to steve martin lily all of me when two personalities battle for over a restaurant dinner just as he was playing his own evil hand in evil dead ii campbell is at making his body appear to be inhabited by more than one mind br br at times screaming comes closest to another steve martin film the man with two brains as it also takes a silly approach to sci fi clichés however it tries too hard for too little result and that goes double for ted semi who gets entirely too much screen time nothing against it's just that he's better in smaller doses br br in the end it's neither outrageous or funny enough to satisfy as a spoof nor is it serious enough to enjoy as a b movie i was glad that campbell had already left the screening by the time it ground to a halt as i feared having to say gee bruce that was really something br br perhaps the best praise i can give it as a film is that at least the images stuck to the and it was twice as good as alien apocalypse,negative +i took my 4 year old twins to see this movie today and i would not recommend it for children their age br br this movie had many fighting scenes throughout it which i found too violent and my children found scary br br the subject matter was way over my kids heads and the death scene was too scary for a cartoon towards children br br i was disappointed because we were all looking forward to seeing this but it just did not cut it if you have children under 7 years old i would not recommend this movie br br also the utter thing made me crazy during the entire movie,negative +i saw this film at the 2001 toronto international film festival la the grim i'm isabelle won a well deserved best actress award at cannes for her portrayal of a woman who in her efforts to the artistic ideal loses her humanity trapped by her talent she her emotions and her sexuality until they can only be expressed in twisted and terrifying ways when a younger student falls in love with her our hopes rise but are soon by the realization that she cannot experience love the way others can it is too late for her and the film's final 30 harrowing minutes are devoid of the beautiful music that carried the first 90 minutes the message seems to be that the music itself is not enough without the life and beauty it's describing,positive +this is a great film in many different ways perhaps the most important is that it introduces western audiences to the remarkable tragic story of san and her fight for freedom and democracy wonderful acting gorgeous cinematography breathtaking action and suspense beyond has everything i've seen this movie several times over the last ten years and each time it means more to me not everyone will like it hence the relatively low rating on imdb but that's because it is not conventional hollywood rather it challenges the viewer on several levels i've never watched it without at the end and promising to live a more meaningful life,positive +this french movie deals about a millionaire owner of a factory on an african island nearly to named louis jean paul he's a single man looking wife then he a bride and gets a gorgeous woman named julia catherine when she appears turns out to be much more attractive than expected he marries to julia but she suddenly disappears a french eye private michael is hired by sister and soon he's on the trail of his previous later louis encounters her in a dancing hall under another name in spite of the romantic and everything louis goes on with his enigmatic wife br br this film is a splendid drama plenty of betrayal deception killing and suspense good performances by jean paul as young of a cigarette company who seems determined to fall under the spell of a femme fatale and a wonderful catherine as suspect heroine the film gets several references to the american cinema but 400 blows was a such as johnny guitar jim bogart and hitchcock the usa version was cut numerous minutes and deserves an and loosely based on the novel into by rear window and screenwriter of alfred hitchcock hour who also was adapted in the bride wore colorful cinematography by stolen kisses and atmospheric musical score by usual musician this is one of the best of his suspense movies along with and shoot the piano remade by an inferior version by michael 2001 with antonio angelina jolie and jack thompson full of erotic and lust scenes,positive +well don't expect anything deep an meaningful most of the fight scenes are pretty decent the two leading ladies are quite endearing but their lack of hk action background shows at times the ending maybe lacks something but i quite enjoyed it none the less the cheesy humour isn't probably going to appeal to anyone who hasn't watched a bunch of hk films but if your down with that sort of thing and have a couple of hours to fill with something meaningless you could do a lot worse than this ok so you could do better but br br certainly on a par with most of the hollywood blockbuster action drivel br br 7 10,positive +eric janet it should have been almost impossible to go wrong of course it has some funny moments the scene in the when echoes ghastly werewolf line i can't help myself is hilarious but ultimately the plot script and direction are flat as a and as tired as a 90 year old nun after mary s when i was a child carry on films filled this slightly better which is a really sad of a film with such a promising cast,negative +i'm a dance teacher and was looking forward to some good dance routines in this film how sad to have been subjected to such a painful experience br br i had major problems with jennifer and her character i found alex extremely face is so young sweet and innocent and this very with very disturbing especially in that disgusting restaurant scene she also has the temper of a it is very difficult to believe that nick would keep coming back to such a moody teenager after her frequent and especially after she opens the door of a moving car and a at him rather to walk home in the middle of the road with only one shoe and what about after her idiotic behaviour after the night at the ballet in fact the whole romance was very disturbing the 30 something year old man going after a girl who looks about 16 br br as for the dancing i'm afraid this 80s style is totally dated what on earth was that tv dance sequence about in the club who was supposed to be dancing i wasn't even sure if it was a woman or a man in drag and even that famous final sequence is pretty disappointing especially given the context of an audition for a ballet company the camera shots of her leap actually ruin it's effect because you can't see what she's doing and what on earth was she doing when she went past each of the pointing at them and as many other comments have pointed out she would never get into a ballet company on the strength of that audition perhaps that's why they don't actually say at the end whether she was successful or not the closure is the fact that she her fear in the end of the i actually thought the best sequence to penny in dirty dancing you could see that she was a real dancer and her were very impressive this is of course if you can get past her appalling costume and makeup br br there were two good bits in this film the ballet dancers when alex goes for the first time to apply for an audition they look so lovely and classy and at least this helps to the difference between her current dance career and the one she to the other good scene was the break dancing in the street i also liked the ice parents they were funny br br some other random points who was and how did alex get to know her what was an 18 year old doing living in a converted warehouse all alone how did she afford that lovely and all the furniture where were her family was that scene in the club really necessary the person who wrote in their comment that it was something like a disney film needs their head examined and anyway what happened to the ice br br many people said the film was poor but they liked the message don't give up hope keep on trying and your dreams will come true watch the little mermaid instead,negative +i've always loved gone with the wind and have seen it numerous times however its ending left me not only hanging but depressed with a hopeless feeling finally in scarlett took us to a very plausible and satisfying end beginning of the original story br br it follows that someone of obvious intelligence as originally written would eventually grow up although like most people i fell in love with scarlett in i tired of her constant insipid to the point of and i was disappointed that mitchell did not show scarlett using that obvious intelligence to even make an attempt to grow emotionally thankfully someone finally did after all isn't that that conflicted with her beauty and intelligence the very reason finally gave up on her in the first place i think did an excellent job of describing that long process and kilmer did a superb job of portraying it w k has all the fire and intelligent as did vivian leigh and she is certainly at least as if not more beautiful br br there was is and always will be only one clark gable however if i had to pick an actor out of the thousands to which i've been exposed to portray him in his biography it would definitely be timothy dalton dalton possesses the same elegant charm that gable did which is essential for character i can't imagine anyone else who could come close br br in my opinion both kilmer and timothy dalton were superbly cast and the only actors who could have possibly played scarlett and i think both their performances did justice to not only the late actors but also the spirit of their characters br br i enjoyed the whole cast julie harris was her usual delightful presence and jean smart was an adorable kick even character was nicely played by stephen collins and the progression of his relationship with scarlett was totally believable br br the story became a little convoluted in ireland but so is life after all and i still found it entertaining br br all in all i thoroughly enjoyed the of imagination i wish i'd written it br br,positive +the story is incredible it begins with a new kid in town named roy while on the bus to school he notices a kid running with no shoes and on that same day he breaks the big bullies nose who is trying to fight with him roy soon discovers that kid is a runaway and he and his step sister are trying to mess a construction sight that could kill all the beautiful that live there roy decides to help them him there fight can they win this fight before the smart but bumbling cop dave luke wilson stumbles on to them an enjoyable film funny and adventurous i do admire luke wilson for taking this role i don't think his brother owen would even take this role,positive +the was written and directed by brendan in what appears to be an attempt to pull the mysteries of the charles novels into a contemporary story but that attempt is by to use the two periods of time format in which the is despite a cast of well known actors trying their best to pull off this direct to dvd movie the end product is a long tedious amateurish mess that can only be considered as entertainment if viewers are fans of the cast as remembered from other films br br mike sullivan jones is a journalist confined to on dog racing events while he dreams of important a series of similar murders happens to include an old friend of vera day who runs a pub on the banks of the having just discovered an old valuable by charles dickens and has a heart of gold giving away to such pathetic creatures as an old tramp derek murder mike to the role of detective and with the help of kate julie cox he begins to tie the investigation to clues he finds in reading the dickens the flow of this rather simplistic story is the use of flashbacks to time as dickens again derek a rather personal story of peculiar murders the parallel between stories and the cross casting among actors may have worked in hands but the of this kind of venture escapes writer director brendan he draws his story to a close at long last with a tired ending br br in addition to jones cox and day the film somehow attracted the attention of vanessa redgrave jason and mel smith their are minimal but happily distracting this is a flimsy bit of leaving the viewer wondering how films of this quality ever find funding grady,negative +this series is vastly underrated like many others i came upon after the series had been cancelled bought season 1 and was surprised to find a written drama with a balanced mix of suspense romance wit and of course sci fi right off the bat it got a 10 for being the first series or movie to satisfy us how our hero and every alien with whom he comes in contact speaks english okay a few others have the issue but did it the best the point is the writers pay close attention to detail to make the show as believable as possible br br with so much bad programming out there it's a shame that balanced entertaining series such as don't get enough exposure and recognition to stay in production while we enjoy the four seasons and thankfully the four hour miniseries maybe we can make enough noise to convince the producers to continue the show,positive +i watched this film because i thought it would be a classic amy adams movie wow this movie is so bad on so many levels it the imagination it is poorly constructed for one also the script and the acting is just awful but hey even johnny has a slew of bad films under his belt the upside of this movie would be amy singing and even on that score i believe better songs could have been chosen amy is of course beautiful to see and if you are a die hard fan of hers you will probably watch this title no matter what just don't expect too much i wish i could have found more to like but it was just painful to watch i recommend sunshine cleaning or doubt,negative +if you make a suspense movie it is kind of important that the villain not be more sympathetic than the victim and this fails miserably it was so terrible and frustrating to watch that i was actually moved to register and comment ok so the husband is rich and cocky there are worse and the boy and wife display plenty the husband is a jerk because he um didn't of the boy physically that woman the witch one which had absolutely nothing to do with the plot btw the boy threatens the husband and repeatedly attempts to seduce the wife he then forces himself on her which the woman finds so hot she stops thinking rape and starts thinking she wants him uh huh the misogynistic complex thoughts the director displays are just revolting it is one thing when a fine film like american psycho deliberately tries to get us to with the villain but in survival island i felt like i was watching a movie about ted but the director failed to make him unlikeable and instead made us hate his victims what was he thinking,negative +the movie had an interesting surprise somewhat psychologically gripping and the makers could have ended it without making it just another of a of movies put out by hollywood promoting homosexuality and or other sexual this could have ended with a pay off but there were other motives behind the pen what me off is that the mud in your face after you've seen the whole movie like the disappointing the talented mr yeah sure i'm just another this gay content the whole film i wouldn't positively judge a movie for artistic or entertainment value if its sole purpose was to promote an political motivation more so for this,negative +george mildred the movie lacks the talents of its tv writer john who brings the close quarter cut and thrust of class war with the alive br br the plot is cut from standard spin off cloth hit man mistaken identity and has as little tension as there are laughs the producers should have taken a from rising also 1980 which was also bought to the big screen after the tv series demise and kept much of the story in familiar setting br br died in 1980 but she should not be remembered for this piece of work as she was by her illness mildred lacks the of her tv incarnation cutting and looks largely directed at georges lack of also gets lost in the more sets this is not to say that they were much to shout about the budget for this movies looks small a restaurant they go to is clearly a new semi house with some christmas lights the front door br br for fans of 70's british comedy or those who just want to an old tv companion from their youth this film can add nothing to the experience and they should just stick to the first four tv series out now on dvd,negative +ever once in a while i run into a movie that is so embarrassingly bad i wonder why movies exist this is one of them this is a terrible attempt to parody the godfather with annoying cartoon sounds and bad dialogue eddie is just plain annoying as tony an annoying who upon his father don william 's request takes over the family business tony as i said is an annoying little this makes the whole movie a complete mess the movie is terribly it's too cartoonish the main point i'm trying to make is that you can't make a parody of an acclaimed drama like the godfather with so much it doesn't work that way believe it or not you have to take a parody of a dramatic movie seriously if you don't take it seriously it will feel too much like a parody the thing about doing a parody is that you can't seem too much like you're doing a parody you have to make it seem like you're taking the movie at least a little bit seriously it also feels like they're just mocking woody allen and that's what makes this movie absolutely terrible,negative +this was really a pleasure to see the dialogue was for the most part absolutely outstanding i thought the women's roles were a little better written which is a nice surprise the performances were uniformly very good too frank it a little when he goes into his various cons but this might be his for what i see as weaknesses in how the character is written he's very good otherwise harry does similarly well with a slightly character tony some of the character's scenes slightly ursula burton is excellent as sister really carrying the film through some of its weaknesses seymour and louise are a little underused here though i liked their work as always shirley jones jill and faye grant are very good also i couldn't help thinking grant reminded me a little of catherine o'hara here rather tears into her role with reasonably good results br br i wish there had been more of a sure hand behind the camera though sometimes the framing or staging seemed a bit off or awkward the closeups seemed or used to me and we don't always go from scene to scene as smoothly as we'd like some of the tough guy approach to the federal agent music was too over the top for me as well and the few fantasy sequences didn't really work but there are things that were very well done the opening sequence set in buffalo around 1970 for example and frankly all of the scenes regarding church work i suspect the writer and actress liked the character a lot which helps the scenes between and are very good br br the plot is probably a bit there seem to be a few too many schemes going on at once to keep them all straight at times and the got to be a little too much and i was a little bothered by the ending should we really be rooting for their biggest con yet to succeed but the ride along the way is very enjoyable it would be nice to see more independent movies like this one made br br 7 of 10,positive +although i watched this film by myself thankfully i still felt embarrassed while watching it i was tricked into renting it by the reviews on the front cover and the bloody gritty camera stills on the back which led me to believe it was some sort of documentary these actors are laughable throughout the entire film not convincing at all the story involves an italian australian gang just fighting other gangs and then running fighting repeat supposedly they train extremely hard which makes them way better than other gangs for some reason i don't believe that they could actually beat up some of these other guys that are twice their size i could be wrong no i'm not wrong this movie is not enjoyable on any level the jail montage looked like it was a summer camp just instead of kids it was a fest of horrible actors just hanging out and laughing and trying to look hard this movie is not worth your time save your money or throw it in the garbage just don't waste it on this movie,negative +carlito's angels is a spoof of charlie's angels that is not afraid to spoof even itself at times however that does not mean that the film is above criticism by the viewers as well it is amateurish and juvenile i think fast motion stopped being funny around the rap music often out the dialogue and the film feels longer than it is even though it runs barely over an hour the girls themselves are hot adorable with wonderful lean bodies and even though they never get naked their outfits leave little to the imagination by checking out their imdb pages i found out that one of them is actually going through with a film career i wish her luck because although this film is bad she as well as the other girls gave it whatever energy it has and i wouldn't mind at all seeing her again on the screen,negative +odd one should be able to stumble into only by chance it should be on any best of film noir list including br br is as good as ever knowing of his dire delicate family situation gives extra weight to his almost face and brief dialogues restrained performance under firm direction only shows what a wonderful actor he could and should have been br br is utterly dry and cold without artistic scenery pretty faces and fancy cars it is almost film noir meet neo realism few hard words to his children describing their life of from there on get a hold on your throat to the end of the film br br the final sentence of the film a voice over telling of end in no more than ten dry words leaves you with a hard punch in the stomach br br a true jewel in the great crown of french film noir,positive +this has got to be one of the weakest plots in a movie i have ever seen br br however that is not all that this movie is lacking this movie has the worst acting writing directing special effects you name it it's the worst ever br br i highly advise you to spend your time on worthwhile movies and not waste your time on this garbage br br i do agree with an earlier post that the women were definitely men dressed up in drag and that did give me a laugh i keep trying to figure out if they were being obvious about it or if they were actually trying to be sexy women br br anyway there is not much else in this movie that is worth watching br br to sum it up horrible acting horrible script horrible idea for a movie an hour and a half of my life i want back right now,negative +other than cop rock and that show where the kid dies from eating a spoiled he found under the bed this has consistently been the worst and dumbest show to survive prime time if not for jason lee's success in film this show would have never made it out of conception if pitched with a relatively unknown as the lead br br the concept is terrible moron redneck spends his to redeem himself with the white trash of his past is it funny but not consistently is it stupid each and every single episode br br i've seen a lot of great shows come then go before their time yet this has survived longer than i ever could have imagined the dialog is incredibly unfunny as are the episode themes every episode for someone with an iq over 100 is an absolute struggle and the on the cake jason lee's annoying voice each episode if it weren't for the southern culture and of the south this show wouldn't have an audience br br if you're a moron and need a show completely lacking humor yet with bad taste bad dialog and characters failing at life well then you're probably an actor on this show,negative +left quite a noticeable impression in my head the story is quick paced and leaves you constantly absorbed and at many times quite tense its about five remarkable student doctors notably julia roberts and kevin bacon among whom one of them has the of remaining dead or getting flat for a few seconds and then coming back to life br br the is quite involving a of medical electric masks and a variety of medical terms i strongly suspect doctors all these words so that they never need to get off but they follow the kiss original version for keep it simple stupid extended version for doctors keep it stupid simple philosophy as well at the risk of getting by some revenge taking doctor reader let me continue br br so the first guy who gets flat hopes to find the answers to life which philosophy and religion cannot convincingly answer he hopes to get it answered and become famous through applied science he flat lines for around two minutes and then comes back into our world left quite during death he has a vision of an incident when he was young which left the strongest impression on his life he killed another boy when he was kid by accident and he still feels responsible for it br br with the success of the first flat liner the others follow suit each of them their flat line time further and further to test the limits of how long one can remain dead and experience life after death br br meanwhile monsters from the past and future keep coming back to haunt them after their flat line experience the first flat liner is haunted by a young kid who him when he is alone the second who camera ed all the women he took to bed sees television sets all over playing his videos the third is haunted by a young girl who he in school the fourth is haunted by her suicide dead father for whom she feels responsible br br all of them are driven insane by these haunting and and think that the past seems to want to take revenge on them the main focus on getting flat is that your entire life passes through your eyes at the moment of whatever stage that is and you are left mostly with the strongest impressions of life in your mind since they didn't die these strong impressions have somehow and have become the focus of their lives br br all of them somehow come to terms with and their past demons all of them except the first one who realizes the only way he can move on through life is getting flat again during this flat line session he sees himself getting flat the first time and also sees the boy he killed trying to kill him this time round the boy kills him this time for a few minutes and in doing so has sought revenge for a few minutes in the movie one is left wondering if he gets to come back thankfully because most of us like happy endings the boy him of his past and he comes back to life again,positive +in short if you want to watch burt reynolds best films than this one must be included if you don't like burt you may still like this if you love burt this may become one of your favorite movies of all time being from it does hit home but it's also nice to see a cop action drama that takes place somewhere other than ny city chicago miami or la the film is funny at points with good plot good performances from a great supporting cast every character is real the bad guys are not so one sided they are really well thought out a nice offbeat romance in the 2nd half it has some good old fashion no cgi thank god real action br br if clint eastwood did his best impression of a burt reynolds movie with every which way but loose any which way you can then burt with his best clint type flick with this it comes off great,positive +i've only seen this film once when it was shown on tv but i can still remember it 15 years later so that must say something about it i thought it was an intelligent look into friendship bullying and the influence it can have leading into adult life br br the title really refers to how being good or bad at sports can either make you the lowest of the low or you will be by the within school and even later on into if you're good at it this is set in a private school in england but it could be anywhere br br the main character is bad at games seeks revenge in later life which all in a climactic confrontation on a pitch i must admit i was by the ending it was powerful and,positive +i really wanted to like this movie the previews looked funny but i figured they put most of the funny stuff in the previews in this case they not only did that but they twisted the clips so that they appeared much funnier than they were in the real film i like john travolta uma thurman vince vaughn the rock cedric the entertainer etc so i wanted to like this movie but it just never seemed to do anything br br i saw get and did not particularly care for it too slow and unfunny for me this movie is certainly no better and if anything is worse there were a lot of opportunities for some good comedic moments but it took none of them br br the acting was okay but even john travolta seemed toned down cedric was okay but he was too in to be really funny vince vaughn and the rock were pretty good and ready to be funny but they just let it all pass them by i wish they had been given a chance to follow through with the funny things they set up but instead it just kept going back to the same old thing and back to just setting vaughn and rock up to be funny though never allowed to really deliver that punchline or comedy br br overall this was a very disappointing movie and i am glad i only saw it on video at least it was cheaper than the theater,negative +love and human remains is one of those obviously scripted obviously acted obviously staged flicks which is so obvious that the escape from its and is beyond me not worth explaining this amateurish flick tries to every clever line every every peculiar sexual into one film with an absence of concern for making the pieces fit in short crap without the sensation which pretty much just leaves crap,negative +i saw a couple of days ago a nice story based on well known characters created by a a although and rabbit are all present in this animated feature the main character is this time he befriends with scary who proves to be not scary at all and shows everybody that friendship knows no boundaries and everybody wants and deserves to be happy i love this film and i would love it even more were i 10 or 15 years younger alas i would like to become a kid again to enjoy this story much more but all i am left with is a sense of sadness at the loss of a sort of and innocence of which this movie is i was glad to hear simon sing joel provided great score,negative +this is easily one of the best movies of the 1950s otto preminger directed only four or five really good movies and this is one of them frank sinatra gives his best performance and the music score by elmer is dynamite from the opening titles by bass to the of drug addict frank going cold turkey this is a riveting movie with kim novak giving a very good performance parker giving a very bad performance as well as darren as the and arnold as pal beware of bad this movie is in the public so some copies are pretty rough,positive +this is a romantic comedy so it's really a fairy tale but an unconventional one cinderella rather than living in the lives in an castle in the with a good looking husband who's no prince she does find her prince but he's not that handsome instead of a castle at least initially she gets a tiny walk up in manhattan br br and lead a cast of fully realized if a little over the top characters br br reaches the highest level of movie making in my mind he creates a world i want to move into a manhattan neighborhood and street life with life and community br br i wish imdb linked to other comments i'd like to know what other movies the people who this one hate i am always looking for a lot of laughs and for nice places in which to live at least for an hour or so,positive +now this is a movie i really dislike it's one of the most boring horror movies from the 90's mainly because it starts slow and centers in a boring atmosphere the settings are not even attractive for the eye and do not serve for the movie's purpose br br the puppets look really cheesy not in a good way like in the puppet master 80's flicks what did they do to our favorite toys br br the story is lame not interesting and never really explains the sinister origins of the puppets there aren't death scenes like in previous movies and the f x are terrible br br i felt asleep the first time i watched it so i can recommend it for,negative +despite a totally misleading advertising campaign this flick turns out to be an clichéd sub par haunted house flick with a totally implausible ending clue 1 for all considering seeing this turkey sam didn't direct it although commercials for the movie play up his involvement in truth he is one of four producers it's too bad that someone as talented as has allowed his name to be used in with such a poor movie i don't think he would ever have directed something like this that task was left to the brothers br br the screenplay for this film seems to have been together from numerous other horror films so you'll find absolutely zero original content in the what we get are a scene here and there that was straight out of pulse a couple that could have come from the birds one or two from the others etc nearly every scene almost every line of dialogue is one that has been lifted from any number of other movies the whole thing makes for such a predictable movie that almost anyone will be able to figure out the surprise ending long before it comes br br right about here would be a good time to point out that the advertising campaign centered on the idea that only children can see ghosts has nothing to do with this movie in fact everyone can see the ghosts the teenage daughter and mother characters certainly see them even quite early in the movie i'm sure that was in charge of marketing came up with this campaign because the film needed a unique angle to have any box office appeal which otherwise is entirely absent now you know so don't be fooled perhaps what this movie lacks most of all is anything resembling chemistry between the actors it simply isn't there all of the interactions come across as stilted coupled with the hackneyed story and ridiculous plot holes just what is a guy who murdered his whole family doing still lurking around the small town where the murder happened anyhow didn't anyone think to maybe arrest him it all adds up to a profoundly unsatisfying ghost flick that only manages to surprise anyone over the age of ten with cheap shots loud noises visual flashes and anything short of a figure jumping out of a closet and yelling boo all we get for our buck this time around is yet another poorly made film about spirits attempting to warn people away from a house if there's any message that the delivers it's don't waste your time on this movie,negative +and i bought a vampire motorcycle all over that line like a drunk with his tied together some films are quite enjoyable like norman j some films are just bad like kent eyes but films that try and do the post thing of being bad should always be approached with extreme caution a lot of people think terror is a bad taste masterpiece for example but i'm guessing anyone over the age of will it off as worthless dreck then there's john carpenter's dark star yes it's quaint and certainly a product of its time but as a film it's only two above worthless this no budget british black comedy horror outing tries to achieve a satirical tone with its endless references to its fellow splatter flicks among them horror hospital and pretty much anything by pete walker but due to dismal performances by second string tv actors the leading lady looks like amy a script that appears to have been written on the back of a by two with no understanding of how film comedy works dean intentionally dire elevator rock soundtrack and production values never rising above mediocre the net result is a film that can only be laughed at rather than with if your idea of is chinese called fu king and references to long forgotten tv ads you'll enjoy this one but don't expect too much,negative +how this film could be classified as drama i have no idea if i were john voight and mary i would be trying to this from my it was as historically accurate as and abraham and got into lot nephew lot turns up thousands of years before he would have been born the earth really what were the thinking was it just ignorance i remember something about and animals and lot and and all that stuff from sunday school or were they trying to offend the maximum number of people on the planet as possible from christians jews and muslims to historians as a matter of fact did anyone not get offended anyone who had even a of taste would have at this one,negative +i recently started to watch this show in and find it a bit hit and miss some episodes are silly doug is upset about some trivial juvenile thing and acts stupid etc br br still others are quite amusing and sometimes touching these include those episodes that face up to the of the characters for instance the juvenile overweight guy marries sexy wife theme is found in several sitcoms carrie also has something about her looks wise not just a run of the mill sexy girl but carrie has an edge she might be nice on the eyes but has a few too many personality traits not too far different than her father br br and she readily admits to it for instance one episode revolves at her lack of desire to be nice to co workers i personally find her b sexy but you have to be the right sort of person to be able to live with that doug is a good match and deep down see likes the simple things too maybe not as much as doug whose is watching tv and eating a big next to his big screen t v but no culture gal she this lack of an sensitive side is one reason the two don't have children br br of course the simple pleasures of a guy is nothing to at either and adds to the charm of the show they live an ordinary working class sort of life in queens it is realistic in that sense and overall amusing and pleasant sitcom fare if you just want to relax it gets a little tired at the end so it's probably good it is ending it had a good run see also,positive +crack house 1989 was one of the few film during the 80's that falls into this genre what's supposed to be an anti drug film turns out to be nothing more than some white exploitation exercise in there's nothing wrong with that however the video presentation even has an anti drug message from one of the stars of the show richard br br the movie follows two young lovers in high school one of them is a quasi tough guy and the other is his girl one of them turned out by a mutual friend whilst the other is given a trip to the slam and is later on given a chance to get back at his ex friends jim brown appears as the movie's mister big he's one bad dude who still can punk out anybody and is a very sadistic guy who likes to his and beat the out of those who try to defy his word luke from general hospital makes a guest star spot as well br br if you like hard edge sleaze then this movie's for you sadly hollywood doesn't make these any more and when they do it's neither exploitative nor entertaining br br recommended for sleaze fans,positive +this short was the first short released by paramount famous studios and was one of several done by the studio showing engaged directly against the enemy most often the japanese while warner brothers disney and to a lesser extent other studios did shorts often depicting germans as the majority of famous studios efforts focused on the japanese given pearl harbor and naval ties this is quite understandable this is an average short red white blue and for britain have aged better but it's still worth watching recommended,positive +alright so maybe the of jay leno and david are not spot on but you still get a sense of who these people are and how they operate behind the screen bob and treat williams are as warren and micheal br br the movie doesn't go for joke and punchline but it is still funny kathy bates in particular is amazing as manager br br funny amazing interesting very watchable this is a good tv movie,positive +this film starts with a pedestrian setup before into the standard sort of suspense action where an office worker keeps beating up trained secret service men etc br br i couldn't say the acting was bad there were some good surprised faces by hamilton and sheen but then i really wouldn't have to br br finale did at least give me a good laugh for my pains still if my life was flashing before my eyes i think i would fast forward this 90 minutes br br i have to write two more lines of text just to get this thing published yes very suit that sheen wears i made a special promise to myself never to watch a film this bad again,negative +this show is the worst show ever norris and his family write it produce it direct it etc etc the only reason i ever see it is because my goofy wife likes it how many times can norris fly though the air from plain sight to land a kick on an obviously blind villain no trees no building just thin air he always the case or is the best at whatever skill there is no co star ever gets the glory its all norris its truly apparent that norris is awful stuck on himself and will not allow anyone to one up him in any scene no matter what the content terrible acting terrible script terrible series,negative +this is a good film for die hard fans okay i'm sure it's not as good as what the child's play movie were like but this can get really funny and enjoyable laughs are hilarious br br spoilers br br now not one doll but two meaning double the impact jennifer played the part really well and definitely pulled off the best kill of the movie br br if you have seen the child's play movies this would be a worthy film on your collection but if you've never seen the child's play movies before will be a new start of course you'll not have a clue on how got into his current state cause i'm not telling you but you'll figure out why is very popular br br overall a very enjoyable movie,positive +being an admitted chess addict i was excited to see a documentary about the 1997 between and deep blue i was hoping to see an in depth look at the match and a lot of what had to say boy was i wrong and misguided by a mile this documentary is a lot like many modern documentaries there is a lot of flash but no real substance after watching it i am sad to say i felt like i wasted my time one of the most annoying aspects about the documentary is that it does not stay at one place for a decent period of time it has the typical mtv type editing where the camera shows different images and quick sound bites from people every five seconds it is very sad that film making has been watered down to the attention span of a 10 year old child br br i understand it is difficult to make a film about chess but that does not mean one should make it flashy did have a couple of interesting ideas though it brought up the idea whether computers can think like human beings or not whether computers have advanced to a unique new level this is what thought after the match but this film does not go deep enough with this idea also this film tries to bring in a bizarre theory it tries to imply the paranoid that a human being was making the moves along with the help of the computer had about this but still to this day there is no evidence towards the end of the film it tries to imply the bizarre that maybe might have been the human being who was secretly making the moves with the aid of deep blue interesting to think about but i don't know how plausible or realistic it is i still would not recommend this movie though not even for chess,negative +there is no doubt that alfred hitchcock was a seriously talented director many of his films are classics that have stood the test of time and are highly watchable to this day this list could include the steps rear window north by m for murder vertigo the birds shadow of a doubt and a few other films br br however suspicion is not aging well at all and is really so unwatchable that it seems to me that it was probably a bad film even by 1941 standards the list of scenes that work well could be listed on a with a the script is loose and ridiculous most of the time but the acting seems so forced and wooden and borderline amateurish throughout that it is almost unbelievable joan fontaine tries to shore things up but she is on a and cary grant doesn't provide much assistance his acting is so bad at times that i have seen better performances in high school plays or college theatre experience classes where a chemical engineer is acting for the first time with no training br br after about 30 minutes of watching this film you may find yourself reaching for the dvd in the dark to see if you accidentally picked up some kind of special edition version that was together without any editing br br the subject matter is serious yet the film has a silly and trite feel to it that just seems so out of place you become with br br suspicion is basically unwatchable and another very very very overrated bad movie,negative +this is one of the best czech movies i have ever seen the director did excellent work there is great camera and the actors are really great i like war movies so i really liked this one i would recommend it to anyone who wants to know something about czech pilots during 2nd world war and their life after the war in communism,positive +cannibal 1 outta 5 stars miserable excuse for a movie which you might enjoy if you really like boring nonsensical jungle movies up with scenes of graphic violence a pair of drug dealers on the run from the mob travel to the of to search for and cocaine they meet up with another young and his two hot babe one of whom is an seeking to prove that does not and has not ever existed one of the two dealers turns out to be a bit of a psychopath and he and kills a couple of natives in order to get them to tell him where they hide their and how they could even tell him when he doesn't seem to speak their language in the first place well the natives are suddenly not too thrilled with white folks in their jungle and capture them all for some torture poor acting poor plot and poor direction not a decent moment of suspense in the whole dreary 90 minutes even the special effects are not particularly convincing though a couple of shots will still make most viewers cringe the only good scene in the whole movie is when the two women are imprisoned in a mud and seem to touch the hearts of the natives with their rendition of red river valley the following is a quote from the movie but i wouldn't be surprised if many viewers weren't saying exactly the same thing by that point oh god please let her die soon oh let her die soon and let me die soon too please,negative +before i saw this movie i believed there were two kinds of bad cinema 1 your average completely uninspired fare i e and 2 the work that is bad or so bad it's good a la the hands of fate now that i've seen dr gore i know there is a third kind of bad movie the utter crap that will be on your memory a work that is mind br br i have hated certain films before but i've never hated a film so much that my loathing reached its hold and became self loathing have you seen a movie that not only makes you regret losing the hour you spent watching it but makes you for another hour after that mystery science theatre beware this is soul sucking cinema go rent circle of iron or the killer instead,negative +when i saw that icon was on tv i was surprised i know that the first clue of where it was headed was the fact that it was on the hallmark channel has to be said sorry i was hopeful when i saw that himself was the producer but very quickly saw that the only real way that the tv movie and the book were similar were in the name and the character names only the tv plot was a ho hum to say the least but i that in and of itself the action was worth a 3 stars in my personal opinion mr could have portrayed a valid monk however i think that in order to do the movie justice it would have been a far longer movie and i don't think hollywood itself would have gone for the plot of by a case in point is the terrible film version of the sum of all fears need i say more,negative +stupid from the talented john hughes soon be making a film with the from who's if his stars get any younger he the formula yet again to produce this idiotic comedy in which a baby makes his way around chicago while inept joe joe and brian try to catch him along the way enduring much tiresome slapstick if and can't find a laugh somewhere in your movie then you're in trouble but the of the movie is most glaring in the scenes where crowds of people fail to notice a baby around on the utter nonsense,negative +this is one of my favorite series all categories all time br br i was fortunate enough to get a hold of the whole series on vhs a few years ago i loved it when i saw it back in when i was about 12 i love it as much or more today which is remarkable considering my hopefully improved film appreciation and criticism skills most of the movies i liked back then i'm not that fond of today besides for the nostalgia factor that factor is present here as well but there's so much more to robin of than nostalgia br br there are only a few bad things about this series first the picture and sound quality is so so at least in the first couple of episodes fortunately it gets better secondly you could have wished for a bit more blood and realism in the fighting scenes although i know that was not an option in this case br br so on to the good things and there are a lot of them first of all michael is robin hood i don't think i have seen him in a single role since then which only this fact for me he delivers such a believable performance as robin jason connery had an impossible task replacing him the fact that michael hasn't become a bigger name as an actor is unbelievable or perhaps that was his fate to do this one role perfectly then disappear br br i love sheriff of he is really not a complex character but totally rotten the relation between him and is just hilarious actually just looking at de sitting in his throne bored glaring makes me laugh even before he has said anything another actor that deserves extra praise is ray as will scarlet you can really feel the sadness inside of him as well as his hate for the soldiers who killed his wife is an actor that finally has gotten his well deserved hollywood breakthrough in films as the and beowulf there are a lot of other great actors here too br br i love the portrayal of the robin gang they are having fun playing laughing you really get a feel of the between them the that comes from a tight bound group such as this those bonding scenes are so important br br i think that it being uk produced with british actors really made it better compared to for example the feature film version with kevin that just feels fake fake fake christian slater as will scarlet come on the cast being able to speak english with british accent makes it more believable and i get the feeling that the actors as well as the director and writers behind the series can put themselves much more into the shoes of the robin hood gang than an american crew could have the music is wonderful is perfect for the feel of the series the music is another of those things they just nailed br br an exciting addition also is the fantasy and magic spice that is put in there it's not over the top but believable and just makes the whole thing better and more interesting i also love how nicely the mix of comedy adventure and drama is br br those are a few of the things that makes this series so alive and so genuine it's by far the best robin hood version i have ever seen i won't wrap up with the forgotten quote but one thing that never will be forgotten for me is this fantastic robin hood retelling see it,positive +is a long film for its genre and quite often the pace is much slower than that expected by western audiences that being said i enjoyed it thoroughly both in terms of interesting subject matter and the magnificent images this film contains some of the scenery is truly breathtaking and there is enough of interest that most should be able survive with minimal use of the fast forward br br,positive +a stunning film which brought into the open so much about that generally makes people afraid it showed how minds can be captured by less than willing bodies and how difficult it must be to witness things happening to others that are wanted for the disabled individual br br love friendship fear frustration joy humour and so many others things were so well captured the 2 lead characters were very well played by the 2 able actors and invited your laughter tears concern joy and br br i approached this film with a mixture of interest and worrying that it might be too much a play for sympathy or only on it was however a beautifully crafted story of 2 friends br br i loved it,positive +hi br br i bought this on dvd from england you see i have one of those multi region players i thought it would be fun to get a cool movie to show to my friends well surprise to amy jo johnson she's barely in the movie although she is on the cover it's really difficult to imagine how a film this bad got made in the first place perhaps someone has a trust br br oh it's about vampires who live at the beach,negative +i found this film to be one of those great heart warming gems the story line is tightly woven and the character development throughout fantastic i am a big fan of non us films anyway and this is right up there with the closet even king of hearts as is fantastic it is a love story in the true sense of loving life and the twists and turns it takes to get the viewer to understand enjoy view of life which nearly costs him br br more than he is prepared to give are wonderful his co star is unforgettable as his fed up wife i highly recommend this movie for the whole family my children loved it,positive +this movie includes 2 well known actors i have previously enjoyed watching there actions are great and each action is heart felt but it makes me think these 2 were thrown into a speech drama class at college for the first time and told for one to act and to the other in a room without allowing her to leave and the woman to be truly innocent and treat her with enough mind to drive the audience into tears for her release br br the only good part is the acting abilities the plot has the same as influence and i started to hate the protagonist for that but all of this could have been done within 15 minutes in my opinion so to drag it out for over an hour was just pure punishment for all who watched it br br,negative +this movie is the very worst that i have ever seen you might think that you have seen some bad movies in your time but if you haven't seen this one you don't know how terrible a movie can be but wait there's worse news the studio will soon this masterpiece i'm being ironic for all to see the only things worse than the plot of this movie are the effects the acting the direction and the production bill the poor man's ed wood not that there is a rich man's ed wood i like ed movies though manages to keep things moving at a pace throughout this film it opens with the capture of a baby bigfoot a sorry couldn't help it by a pair of unlikable hunters who are killed by the parent this causes the entire town where the hunters lived to go on a bigfoot hunting this is pretty much it for the plot nothing even remotely interesting happens and we the viewers are never able to care about any of the characters if one is interested in the films of i would recommend almost any other over this however as i said it will soon be by troma in order to bore a new generation of,negative +house of dracula is a good sequel to house of frankenstein there isn't as much action but the acting is just as good stevens is the doctor who turns bad after receiving blood from dracula via a dracula was actually receiving the to overcome his but he puts a spell on a nurse and then his blood into the doctor it turns out that dracula really didn't come to seek a cure but instead drain blood from a beautiful nurse dracula is destroyed and the wolf man is next in line for a cure which is successful in the meantime monster is discovered and briefly before burning to death don't worry the same trio came back in and meet frankenstein john carradine again plays a sinister dracula baron is his at the start of the film and in house of frankenstein is the sympathetic wolf man and glenn strange returns as the frankenstein monster lionel again plays an inspector which he often does in the universal studios monster films a keeper for your collection,positive +absolutely fantastic whatever i say wouldn't do this underrated movie the justice it deserves watch it now fantastic,positive +easy to kill a monster but it's hard to kill a human being ' br br set in st thomas project and prison in new orleans dead man walking is the true story of helen susan sarandon a nun sister who matthew sean penn a murderer and a rapist bound for a lethal machine for killing a teenage sister helen agrees to help the convict and to remain with him till the act never before attempted by a br br at their first meeting to the nun that his was the one who shot both of the kids and her help for a new trial in order to convince the board hearing to spare his br br the film challenges the audience to actually give some thought to the human consequences of the death penalty but gives voice to angry parents whose kids were shot stabbed raped and left in the woods to die br br as execution closer and closer his character is seen complex doubts about the of what they were doing to in one moment we hear him sensitive asking for a lie test to let his mother know that he is innocent in another we see him

successfully an exquisite harmony of when sarandon was looking at penn she was compassionate eyes with she asks him to her as he want the last thing you see in this world to be the face of that moment we truly believed that she'll be the face of love for,positive +i had always heard about this great mini series but viewed it for the first time this week july of 2007 i can see why it started the careers of so many young actors the story is intriguing and gives wonderful insights into the period before and during the civil war i cared about the characters and how their lives evolved during this period some of them were stereotypes but they still helped me see how people thought during the many historical facts were thrown into the story and it was interesting to see history books come to life the costumes and sets were gorgeous i thoroughly enjoyed watching both parts i and ii part iii is a disappointment,positive +this film is probably the best new french film i've seen in this century so far there have been some great ones including le des arts and none of them come close to les timeless glory br br the movie is a description of the events of may and what followed in the wake of it and furthermore it is and update of and a homage to the vague movies of those days concerning the depiction of the in paris the movie is accurate i'm only 19 and i wasn't there myself but you know what i mean and the almost real time and very long riot scenes set the stage perfectly for the aftermath of the events in the streets of paris the are not or beautifully photographed like the ones in the to which the movie is comparable in many ways instead they are filmed in black and white shots courtesy of the excellent william the love story that is the movie's main concern after the in is filmed in stunning and far less shots and manages to evoke true feelings of love and adolescent confusion in the midst of the otherwise politically concerned and seemingly cold environment br br this film is a beautiful love story and it through it that the director wants to depict his own experiences of those mythical late 60's which makes the film all the more compelling but the film is also a homage to the whole vague much of the dialogue evokes early and the length and non action and plot less structure is reminiscent of or there are even godard like effects with the persons looking directly into the camera and even addressing directly this film is no doubt an answer song to the and it is also a vague homage but still it stands by itself as a beautiful and love story br br bottom line this movie is incredible and if you love french cinema you shouldn't sleep on it it may be the finest french film since la et la,positive +i'm sure that any legitimate would happily ship out on the yes why you could play full court basketball in the room it's so large and how the bay windows in the bow the better to see giant or that appear out of nowhere did i mention the colorful mess cook with the parrot on his shoulder and the with what appears to be a big sub br br ok ok it's never gonna win any for authenticity and if the sub is laughable the plot is even worse somehow the van allen of radiation hundreds of miles in space have caught fire are going to make global warming look like a pompous nelson walter along with his sidekick peter lorre looking suitably uncomfortable a scheme to put out the fire by firing a missile into its midst br br there's plenty of intrigue along the way with a born again survivor and his little dog too two who can never leave well enough alone a of red shirts who are and plot holes big enough for godzilla to walk through thrill to the being chased at what looks like 60 miles per hour by another sub no need for advanced when you can follow from 100 feet br br the movie from one cliff to another the payoff is so as to be pointless certainly not worth the 1 hour and 50 minute wait br br the technical for this must have been a 14 year old boy with a stack of popular magazines worth watching if only to riff upon,negative +i have seen all the film interpretations of hamlet from sir lawrence olivier to mel gibson gasp derek captures the true essence of the character from the beginning to the brutal climax superb acting all around this one should not be missed,positive +there is something about this show that keeps me watching and hoping for the future of it in the writing the jokes are few and far between and the story lines are a bore so i figure it must be the physical comedy and the visuals br br i do enjoy the camera movement set dressing and wardrobe it's highly against the that and i'm pretty sure every time i have laughed it was because of john or physical comedy the two of them make a cute couple that make me laugh and want to at the same time br br so here i go ready to sit down to kim one more time tonight to see what path this production will go down or up as the case may be looking forward positively,negative +this movie serves up every imaginable greek stereotype in one particularly scene the says i'm just an ignorant as the of greek immigrants who passed on a legacy of wisdom and love to their children and i found this movie and,negative +i watched this mini in the early eighties sam proved himself to be a great actor in fact when he began law and order i was disappointed in him as it was not as powerful a role unfortunately the good roles do not pay the bills i wish i could find a copy of this rare series and review it it is both factual and entertaining everyone should see it to know what really happened i was so moved i purchased and read the book of worlds and saw how this man became an unlikely hero who was never rewarded for his insight if you get a chance be sure to watch this movie and see what a performance mr can really provide an audience enjoy the movies,positive +one of the many about was that the world was going to end at the stroke of midnight on december 1999 in the book of life ' writer director hal hartley takes a look at the possible of a new millennium beginning with the return of jesus to earth on new year's eve the story the task of the son of god who must open the remaining three of the seven contained in the book of life now contained in a mac computer in which there is also the names of the one hundred and forty four thousand good souls who will be on the last day jesus martin along with p j harvey arrives in new york city to make the necessary for carrying out his father's will but he begins to have second thoughts must he judge the living and the dead do they deserve what must them it is a cup he would prefer not to embrace at this particular moment which gives to satan thomas jay ryan who fears that the fruit of all his hard labor is about to be washed away at midnight for he can only continue his work so long as there are people around who to their pitiful hopes and dreams an artistically rendered high concept film hartley presents the story in an intelligent thought provoking manner taking great care in dealing with the sensitive subject matter so as to make it even to the most the dialogue between jesus and satan is intriguing and stimulating as is the effect of their presence upon those they encounter during their stay in the city it's an engrossing on the spiritual side of man's fragile existence and a of that which has been in the revelations of st john in the apocalypse the last book of the new testament and there is logic in hartley's approach to the second coming he maintains the aesthetic of the contemporary setting while altered film which visually give the film an quality christ wears a suit and tie effectively in with the while is a bit more casual his appearance somewhat he sports a above his left eye is well cast as jesus a and a sense of restrained urgency to his character that is very effective it is of course a unique portrayal of the and possibly the best since max von in the greatest story ever told ' he successfully conveys a feeling of inner peace and of that is the essence at the very core of the character and ryan is thoroughly engaging in his role of the prince of darkness he has a distinct manner of speech and a quality to his voice that make him absolutely mesmerizing to watch his eyes are darkly a he uses effectively with and captivating stares he's the guy who could sell you anything in exchange for your soul before you ever knew what hit you it's a memorable performance that so well with portrayal of jesus the supporting cast includes martin edie dave dave d j lawyer james true believer assistant and anna hotel clerk in his own style with the book of life ' hartley has crafted a perspective of the last days that is interesting entertaining and truly unique he has a way of capturing life as it is just off center a method which works especially well with a film like this short for a feature film running time of minutes it nevertheless is one of hartley's best and more than worth the price of admission it's a film that will stay with you and perhaps make you think about some things you may have away in a corner of your mind for later and that is part of the attraction of this film it makes you realize that most likely is now i rate this one 9 10,positive +possible spoilers as peter jackson has so brilliantly shown in his lord of the trilogy it is quite possible to make good films even great ones within the heroic fantasy genre the genre has distinguished literary dating back to the romances particularly the legends upon which and other authors have drawn lord of the apart however it is difficult to think of any other sword and films which are any good i would agree with the reviewer who said that the best of a bad bunch was ron and even that achieved little distinction other than that of being a merely mediocre film as opposed to a positively bad one red however cannot achieve the even more modest distinction of being simply a bad film as opposed to an appalling one br br as with many of the plot elements in red are derived from the lord of the an evil seeks to gain control of an with supernatural powers in order to achieve an ambition of world but is by an group of heroes the film set in the age a era in the remote past starts with the villain of the piece the wicked queen making sexual advances to the heroine when these are not a woman to take no for an answer by murdering parents and brother in 1985 it was presumably still considered politically correct not only to make the chief villain a woman but also to make one of the main motives for her frustrated lesbian lust br br next move is to capture the a sort of green soccer ball with magical powers by the whole of the scantily dressed female charged with protecting it just as they are about to destroy it because they feel its powers have become too dangerous among the dead is sister her sole surviving relative herself however has not been but has in a martial arts academy from which she and sets out to avenge herself along the way she teams up with a heroic wandering king resembling prince the child of a kingdom that has fallen to powers and loyal servant the rest of the film is fairly predictable as and her allies try to and prevent the destruction of the world threatened by the out of control br br just what is it that makes this film so bad well the acting for a start arnold as gives the sort of typical wooden poker faced performance that became his trademark at least in the early part of his career complete with heavy foreign accent compared with as the heroine however he looks like laurence olivier miss seems to have had even worse language difficulties delivering every line in the mechanical voice of someone who has just completed lesson three of a teach yourself english by course one wonders if she was hired for the role just to make arnie look good by comparison the other characters while not their own private struggles against the english language are simply cartoonish caricatures especially prince who must be one of the most obnoxious screen youngsters ever br br an even worse fault than the bad acting however is the film's almost complete lack of imagination this is a particularly glaring fault in a fantasy film as films of this genre need to rely on their imaginative power in order to the audience to suspend the natural feelings of disbelief that would be by a fantastic plot when we watch peter jackson's masterpiece we can ourselves at least for the next three hours that we are in middle earth that and do exist and that the fate of the world really does depend upon the destruction of a magic ring when we watch red we are of nothing except that we are watching a bunch of actors with bad accents fighting one another on a for possession of a green football br br this lack of imagination even starts with the film's title the british science fiction author brian when challenged about the exotic names given to his characters that there was little point in creating a fictional alien society with its own distinctive culture if you were going to spoil the effect by calling the hero joe admittedly was able br br to get away with giving the name sam to one of his main characters but that was because were supposed to be familiar the middle earth equivalent of smoking similarly giving the heroine of a tale ostensibly set in a long gone age a common girls' name like which is how the name is is about as appropriate as calling her or mary br br the film seems to have been made on a very small budget which makes me wonder why they bothered at all fantasy needs to be done convincingly or not at all it was obviously shot in a remote mountain area with little or no attempt to suggest a distinctive culture the few buildings we see such as the temple of the or palace are obviously cheap sets we learn that capital city has been destroyed by using the power of the but we do not actually see this event all we see is what might be a taking place on the other side of a hill at first you wonder how to an entire kingdom with only a few allies but when you see how small an army has at her it becomes more understandable when an threatens to destroy the palace you wonder if this is the at work or merely a crew member inadvertently against the set if we can enjoy this film for nothing else we can at least enjoy it for its humour a fine example of the so bad it's funny school of filmmaking ed wood would have been proud of this one if it had been shown on television the night before the recall election gray davis would still be 2 10,negative +i have read almost all the books by now and have seen the musical production in two different languages i absolutely everything that i have been previously but lately i've been running out of resources to sustain my fancy i still have couple of books left but they are either in or they are the sequels which i am not in a hurry to read so an idea on me sink me there are movies which i have not watched thus i must watch them immediately br br the first five minutes of these series were acceptable in fact i quite enjoyed the variation of the reason for the however different it had seemed it went all downhill from there though was too and i too old for this role not nearly that dark and dashing figure with his dreadful either or and what was that with random bed scene featuring him it was way too creepy wasn't his only love the and his only interest his job and his only obsession sir woman in france woman in europe i think not although whatever compelled her to break into the study of sir i haven't the idea and whatever my lord tony has done to deserve this death yes every member of the league did his life to sir but he would have never any of them nor would have run away like a coward when his dear friend faces mortal danger and if by any means he had to his companion he would have done that not just move on as if nothing had happened which brings me to another point sir his portrayal was most dreadful he was neither a lazy nor a and hero who is a master of nor did he care too much about his of that word alone made my ears bleed and with his own hands he had never killed anyone so what was that with him randomly walking around and people br br the costumes were just too flashy for that time period as well this is post revolutionary france we are talking about not pre revolutionary people in dresses like that stand out in a crowd quite easily it was all just br br although i must admit after i watched other parts my opinion did change slightly watching it as a separate work independent of scarlet series it was tolerable just your other average hero in the mask but for what they tried to pass it it is still miserable,negative +i had high hopes for this one until they changed the name to 'the shepherd border the movie name ever what was wrong with just 'the this is a by the numbers action flick that its hat at many classic van damme films there is a nice bit of action in a bar which reminded me of hard target and universal soldier but directed with no intensity or flair which is a shame there is one great line about p ss drunk and carrying a and some ok action scenes let down by the of it all a lot of the times the dialogue doesn't match the characters mouth and the stunt men fall down dead a split second before even being shot the end fight is one of the better van damme fights except the director tries to go a bit too john woo and fails also introducing flashbacks which no one really cares about just gets in the way of the action which is the whole point of a van damme film br br not good not bad just average generic action,negative +this is one of those movies which get better with each viewing i watched it three times and actually on imdb because i wanted to comment on it movies about food have been done before some of them are really good as for instance a certain japanese comedy which of asian cinema will know anyway but this one really is in its own league at its core is a christian the ideal of kindness but far from being it also the good in each and every of us regardless of our religious beliefs or lack thereof there is a understatement and in feast but this makes the message of the movie if anything stronger not at all weaker if you cannot attend the extraordinary physical offered by you're still welcome to this feast of the soul highly recommended,positive +i really wanted to write a title for this review that didn't come off as corny or but still described my feelings for this show i can see now that it is not possible american family is one of the best shows i have ever had the pleasure of watching on television several reviewers here on imdb have mentioned the word beautiful when describing this show never has a word been more fitting the cinematography for this show is stunning every scene and shot looks like a masterpiece the lighting camera moves scene composition and colors i have to keep reminding myself that i'm watching a tv show and not a motion picture masterpiece the score by lee and nathan wang brings tears to my eyes and most importantly the acting by the all around amazing cast is honest and sincere i do not feel like i am watching performances i feel like i'm watching real life if only real life could be this beautiful br br american family has indeed raised the bar for quality entertainment on television i highly recommend this show to anyone who is willing to watch it i could easily cbs for passing on this show but i have to say that it doesn't matter to me who it i'm just glad it's out there for everyone to see so i do thank for not allowing this show to disappear into br br i have to give special recognition to the way each finale ended the first one was pure creative brilliance and it moved me to tears i was waiting to see if season two would also end in a creative way and sure enough it did again tears br br my thanks to all of those involved you really have made a special piece of art with this show and i sincerely mean that it is a shame that we only got two seasons but a miracle we got anything at all,positive +i remember seeing this 1978 comedy at one of the bargain i took in when i was looking for a study break from my college walter matthau and glenda jackson do some effective tracy hepburn style and in this romp directed by the reliable howard he did private benjamin about a newly widowed doctor's aggressive re entry into the dating game it all by quickly primarily thanks to the clever script by veteran screenwriter j casablanca along with alan max and future director charles br br dr has just come back from hawaii after his wife's death upon his return he becomes aware that he is instant to any and all the single women in la he works in a hospital run by an increasingly chief of staff whom has to to keep his enter ann a who for a living and has certain opinions about the medical profession which she expresses on a talk show of course is on the show's discussion and sparks as they say fly this leads to the standard complications about how serious is willing to become about ann at the same time the hospital has to deal with a potential death from the widow of a rich baseball team owner who died at the hospital under br br it's just refreshing to see such a mature yet love story between two characters inhabited by actors who deliver lines with the wielding skill of matthau is his usual 1970's and quite a sight with his arms held in his power walk away from her heavy award winning roles jackson is and vulnerable as the ann who thinks all doctors should to be albert art plays with predictable while richard benjamin provides support as colleague dr it's all very with a few nice at the greed within the medical profession there are no extras on the 2005 dvd,positive +are you in the house alone belongs to the pre cable tv days when the networks were eager to offer an alternative to popular tv shows it is well made thriller with a talented cast and credible situations kathleen plays a high school student who gets a series of threatening letters everyone seems to think that it is nothing more than a prank but is really scared tony bill and play parents ellen travolta john's sister is the high school principal and dennis quaid has one of his earliest roles as a cocky rich kid it's a competent with a still relevant social message is lovely if you are 30 or older you will remember that she was very popular among youngsters who i usually don't like gives a truly moving performance nice little film,positive +well let me put it this way i have always been one of the hardcore brothers i've always loved rock music and especially heavy metal that's why this movie is like a gift from god i believe this movie is one of the best movies ever well except from story and star wars of course it's great to hear all the classics like long live rock and roll ted songs by jon bon deep purple and several other legendary rock bands heavenly absolutely gorgeous wonderful i hope they will make more movies like this otherwise it's just crap movies like that in da usa or what they call it and 8 miles well i strongly recommend this anyway everything i'm missing is a couple of songs but except from that it's one of the best movies ever ten out of ten,positive +i thought that this movie might be a good spoof or at least a good independent comedy like friday instead it was more like something someone in high school would make with their parents' camcorder it wasn't just the low budget that makes this film bad many great films have been made on a low budget it is simply a bad movie and it wasn't even bad enough to be good camp case in point for the first ten minutes of the movie nothing happens except the 3 main characters sit in their room smoking put on their makeup and then answer a phone call you keep waiting for something to get story moving but it never comes the sound was so bad i had to turn the tv up all the way just to almost make out what they were saying which wasn't interesting anyways if i pay to rent a movie i will usually suffer through it even when it's bad but it was all i could do to sit through 20 minutes it looks like the person before me felt the same way because they didn't the tape and left off about the same place i did the only reason i gave this a score of 1 is because the rating system doesn't have negative numbers,negative +every time i hear karen carpenter's voice there is that old familiar feeling of 70's blues what an beautiful and mature voice she had cast in the title role does a good job however i thought karen allen would have been a better choice this is a movie that does a fine job of presenting the professional careers of karen and richard but also the personal struggles that karen dealt with and her disease the recording sessions in studio are very nicely done however karen carpenter turned out there was a time when she was very special and brought a great deal joy to her fans and music lovers even if you weren't a carpenter's fan this is a nice story that depicts how a great talent can fall victim to the of society,positive +i'm surprised by some of the comments on this site because i really liked this film if you're looking for something different then this movie is a good choice definitely not your typical mindless story that seems to be everywhere starring ben idiot affleck or some other hollywood loser it's an intellectual film you actually need to pay attention so some people might be turned off by that however if you are looking for something that keeps you on your then this is a good choice warning to parents it has some fairly graphic sex scenes so watch it once the are in bed people who like euro flicks will like this one adam sandler fans should skip it because it will be over their heads and definitely not their style,positive +didn't really know what to expect from this movie and found myself being pleasantly surprised i picked it up because i recently stumbled across norman and am trying to find more of the films that he's been in br br i'm not big into hustler movies or con movies but i have to say this one me in within minutes probably because i couldn't quit figure out exactly who was who this movie is stylish and fast paced with a story that is believable thanks to location and fantastic performances br br while i was impressed with most in the film i must say was simply excellent br br give it a chance it's a really fun film,positive +this 2 5 hour fest appears to be one of the excuses for an adaptation ever clearly a budget allowing for breathtaking location shooting in the might have been better spent working out a cohesive script with character development and motivations clearly especially since bill has gone through the trouble of doing this already the portrayals lacked passion direction leaving the viewer whether they should bother to care about the demise of the protagonists at all which brings out another point the main character of the original work is not so named in this rendition despite the fact that most other characters' names are used and magic are also absent from this particular piece in fact all aspects that made the stage version of 'the full of wonder and intrigue have been sucked completely from this convoluted version about a self absorbed pompous who can't figure out how to care about anything beyond the of his wealth and power over all a lackluster effort at best and a brutally poor imitation of the intended inspiration,negative +keys to the is just another one of the horrible t v shows that you can and will see on this station the show is terrible with guys claiming to be real players competing against each other there are two of them competing in each episode in stupid games where they try to get girls at a bar to talk to them get girls numbers and so on the judges are four other guys who also claim to be expert pick up artists but they also seem like just huge d just like the contestants the show is not funny at all and not even interesting it is just boring watching these guys desperately try to convince us what awesome players they are talking even more about the four judges than i am about the contestants nothing funny has even happened in the shows i have watched and the shows are obviously do you really think they have invited all these people to the club got them to sign releases and get them on tape while these guys carry out the same stupid games with them it's not reality at all it is just stupid it probably even tapes in the day time somebody else on here wrote how they knew somebody on the show and it was all fake well yeah that is obvious it's a fake show and even with actors it's still not funny one of the worst shows i have ever seen,negative +this movie changes its way a third of the way in its totally pointless boring and stupid i hated this movie so much that i will never watch it again some bad films can be really funny this is just a british art house picture that should never of been made 1 out of 10,negative +when it was released this film caused a sensation i watched it and was thrilled beautiful usually young naked women filmed in the classy style we knew so well from director photography his photographs never become porn and the same is true for this movie today i saw it again and was disappointed the soft core in extremely slow paced scenes all filmed with some on the actually is all there is there is no real story the characters remain beautiful and beautifully filmed bodies but they are not real creatures with a soul actually nothing happens it is like hamilton is using moving pictures rather than stills and this gets so boring after a while i even didn't watch the whole thing the second time for i fell vast asleep that is all that remains of this masterpiece it is a very good sleeping and you will never become addicted to it br br back then 7 out of 10 now 3 out of 10,negative +i am a huge fan of the original assault on 13 the ice cream scene me to this day i'm 33 now and i still remember being horrified by it as a child when i heard they were it i thought it might be good but when i saw the film it's 100 not the same film it's not a remake it's a bad stolen idea it was completely ruined the cast maria laurence fishburne ethan hawke gabriel john and de are all great actors but even they couldn't save this film it was just wrong even the setting was completely opposite and how in the hell did no one in that city notice that there was a war going on next door why didn't help show up sooner stupid no sense,negative +and indians is an excellent film the writing acting directing could not have been better this was a story that to be told and this group of talented individuals and teams did a superb job of doing so stories like this one are not pleasant ones but serve to remind people of the social that exist all around the world it is my hope that when this film is seen that attitudes and prejudices will be changed a film that can do that is a rare a special thing andrew is an excellent writer and his talents and expertise in this field came shining through in this film br br thank you for telling this story br br ruby,positive +i saw this film last night at a pre code film festival and i have to tell you that when gary cooper turned his head for his close up the entire audience he was just that beautiful br br looks aside this film displays directorial artistry to perfection wonderful scene fades creative camera angles symbolic just keeps exploring the directorial medium and coming up with br br this was sylvia first role in hollywood after her success on the new york stage and she is just as lovely as a gary cooper leading lady ought to be it's nice to see her in a role with a harder edge than many she was given so often she looks like she's afraid she's about to be hit by someone br br there are lots of familiar faces in this film including the wonderful gibson most striking is guy best known for playing rich men as a and hit man br br there aren't nearly enough of these pre code films available on vhs or dvd so if you can't find a pre code festival near you try turner classic movies for a broadcast as for the reviewer who believes gary cooper was too stupid to have dialogue more complex than yep or nope he should perhaps consider performance in films such as mr deeds goes to town or meet john although heaven knows anyone who looked that good shouldn't have to be smart as well,positive +this is one of the worst movie i have ever seen it's a thriller with a rather ridiculous ending i watched this movie hoping for the best and instead found something truly bad the movie starred two actors that i like very much rebecca and antonio sure they had decent chemistry together but for what the movie's premise was bad to begin with and the execution just made it even worst br br miss plays sarah taylor a psychologist trying to analyze a convicted serial killer whose defense on multiple personality disorder that pretty much will give you a hint to where the movie is going and the identity of the killer early in the movie she gets an unexpected visit from her father this being made in the 1990's when the bad daddy was the in thing in hollywood is another clue to the ultimate conclusion br br mr plays a mystery man named tony who comes into life the whole first meeting and first encounter between tony and sarah is so badly done and so unconvincing it makes you wonder how it even got shot and there's a sequence where the two of them are supposed to be knowing each other that is so sappy it doesn't seem to belong here one thing that i would admit was that there was a sex scene that's very hot anyway creepy things start to happen after he arrives weird arriving things falling off the wall that could kill sarah incident that say things aren't normal anymore br br overall the movie was badly conceived the editing at times seem and the conclusion was laughable another thing that me about this movie was the whole music playing in the background a more subtle musical score would have been better i have to say this no matter how bad the ending was miss was very good in that sequence it's sad that she never got first rate in her career she's that rare combination of talent and beauty,negative +this is just my all time favorite movie nothing special it's just so incredibly detailed makes me cry just thinking about it bill is the guy i can imagine money is not important spears are important you don't need money to get what you need if you need something it will just come to you if people would realize that the world would be a much better place whatever you do don't do it for the money,positive +irene is mesmerizing in this final installment of trilogy and the story is infinitely satisfying as it succeeds in all three films together i am simply in awe of the amount of talent it took to do one of these stories let alone all three everything seems to fit together so precisely all the elements of filmmaking so executed and the end result so much greater than the sum of the individual parts is epic in nature and belongs on any list of great cinematic achievements simply brilliant,positive +okay okay i must admit i do somewhat like peter and i'll admit this is not the best sequel i mean yeah it had its flaws such as no themselves but the two that come to earth were really funny i guess they were called dark and i enjoyed the plot of the movie and even at the end of the movie both implied that there would be a sequel still waiting lol peter his role as jonathan graves this time playing a detective how cute iv may not be scary or suspenseful but it is definitely funny i thought i would comment on this movie and just say it's not that bad it is worth watching even though the aren't in it,positive +millions in gold is traveling by train to the us traveling along is lois lane to report on it along the way the train is attacked by masked thieves they the car with the armed guards in it and attack the remaining ones this leads to a vicious fight between the remaining guards and the thieves the thieves them but then lois lane jumps in she beats the thieves off the train at one point using a gun but the train starts to out of control lois can't stop it and the thieves will stop at nothing to get the gold good thing superman is on the way br br fast exciting non stop action probably one of the best of all the cartoons just great,positive +i have to admit that i liked this film much more than i expected to will smith has that clean cut charm that you just can't help but like the plot was a minor twist on basic romantic comedy stuff somewhat reminiscent of jane emma this guy kevin james has a real flair for comic timing and physical comedy i have never seen his tv show but he was cast very well in this film was good enough i can't remember why she was a rich celebrity in this film but if she was supposed to be an actress or model then the casting might have left something to be desired i enjoyed julie ann and wish she'd had a larger part but saving the best for last eva more or less stole the show her beauty and charm and just the right amount of had me glued to the screen whenever she was there i hope to see more of her in the future this film is definitely worth checking out,positive +i saw this movie yesterday and thought it was awful it was pointless and just plain stupid the supposed plot concerned a too caught up in the problems of the world to relate to his bride and the other people in his life he disappears on his wedding day in a no less and up with an assortment of br br we saw it with a bus load of people on the way down to atlantic city and everyone agreed that it was a terrible movie it was trying to be profound but it wasn't it was stupid and offensive if i wasn't on a bus i would have walked out on the movie anyone considering seeing the movie or renting or buying the video you have been,negative +the plot of the movie is pretty simple a turned the population into flesh eating zombies those who left became hunters br br well first of all this is not the worst zombie movie there is among the worst are and the infamous zombie lake br br in fact i think the idea for quick and the undead was very good just executed poorly considering the budget they had to work with this movie looks very good i wasn't bored at all while watching it special effects were solid although they did use cgi once fat zombie getting shot in the head but everything else gore guts was rather good acting is awful however our main guy looks like young clint eastwood other actors are not even worth mentioning as far as the plot goes they didn't work enough on the development of the story br br bad acting low budget good special effects idea for the movie br br overall this flick deserves 4 10 from me it's not as bad as people say imagine a zombie western then watch this movie,negative +i'm almost embarrassed to admit to seeing twice the problems with the production are almost too numerous to mention the script is sub standard it's easy to see why tried to it the direction is worse most of the movie consists of long shots inter cut with close ups interspersed with cross cuts of mostly un erotic porn more prevalent obviously in the uncut version the cinematography is especially sub par giving the whole production a cheap washed out look that some of the elaborate set designs the movie should've looked a whole lot better the overall concept of placing name actors in what would've easily been an x rated movie called it wears thin after the first hour after peter o'toole and john exit bob obviously a lot of bucks on this but it all seems like a big waste if you want a far better understanding of the roman empire in the 1st century watch the mid bbc production of i instead and if you want porn louise look somewhere else,negative +this spaghetti western uses three american lead actors which takes away a little of the typical spaghetti aura the plot is about an that the of new mexico gives to all willing criminals to provide them a chance to start a new life usually this kind of opportunity is limited to past events but in this film it seems more like a to kill because even new crimes like e g threatening the are forgiven the story is an endless chain of killings where nearly every character has only the purpose to deliver more only the few leads have clay is haunted by nightmares related to a childhood event where he killed a lot of people in the middle of the mayhem this kind of lack credibility compared with similar films like e g none of the characters in this film was likable for me br br apart of the weak content which targets certain customers this film is well shot sets are somewhat detailed and the acting is average br br 4 10,negative +ok with this film there are a number of ingredients at work br br first put in loads of good boys who have secret desire to take law into own hands second put in evil cops controlled by a texas outlaw third put in karate fighting played by chuck norris fourth put in a teenager as nephew captured by evil cops fifth show chuck norris fighting in slow motion br br now mix all together and what have you got br br you guessed it one very mediocre movie,negative +i saw this film via one of the actors' agents and it surely with a great deal that comes out of australia in terms of the overall tone which is rightly dark and moody br br i thought the little boy in the film was excellent mostly kid actors are up and embarrassing but not in this case he was really very good in terms of the mentioned by well i just think this film is plain ' it's a real weirdo film with weirdo locations storyline weird stuff going on the whole time but weird as opposed to br br its hard to think of other movies like it but its not at all like cars ate paris maybe more like a but actually i think more like a hammer movie from the 60's its certainly has an interesting mind working behind it br br my question is also about the title why modern love anyone also what did you mean by god when you were talking about australia hmmm just curious,positive +note to self never ever ever again watch a serious movie with charlie sheen in it great comedian horrible seal this movie makes navy look like a reckless group of rangers when in fact they are the most elite form of military in the world charlie sheen helps destroy the navy seal reputation thank you for making such an incredibly group of individuals look awful in one of the worst action movies i have ever seen this is a great story which could be made into an amazing action movie but why charlie sheen there are possibilities for a very passionate story here but sheen decides to wreck them with funny comments,negative +the adventures of sebastian cole is about a boy named sebastian adrian who himself becoming a writer at some point given he actually puts effort into it this movie is presumably the years where he gets his material for writing the adventure years hence the title and the previous quote in it we experience the very typical coming of age stories and of loves drugs and sex changes yeah there's a slight twist here that is very interesting and that is that step dad clark very early on makes a rough decision to get a sex change that has a huge impact on family and his relationship with his step dad br br clark plays hank step father and is very good in the part very believable without being over the top which is a route this film could've taken rather easily thankfully they didn't who i'm only familiar with from is also very good in his part as sebastian and together he and have a great relationship on screen it's always quite engaging to watch these guys relationship as it develops and is genuinely heartbreaking at times br br and that's the best of what this film has to offer unfortunately it brings with it some mediocre camera work direction and cinematography it's not bad but it's a far cry from being good or memorable in the slightest the characters are also written and it's clear from the get go how most of the will pan out the only truly fascinating character through and through is clark hank i've already said did well acting wise but the character of sebastian is not only not engaging but is completely unlikeable i don't honestly see why anyone in the audience would route for his character in anything he does he lies and lacks any aspirations other than to be a complete it'd be different if he was maybe a side character or comic relief but to have him as the main focus and to be asked to take the character seriously come on br br and i don't really hold it against this film but i just want to say pick a different song in all these films hollywood no more where is my mind by the we all know it's a good song stop using it in every other film br br i feel like i could just keep more and more of this film apart but in all honesty i didn't hate it i just didn't really care for it and i wouldn't recommend it to anyone the adventures of sebastian cole isn't a bad or boring film it's just not a very good or engaging one either it's very uneven and the script could've used quite a bit of work i guess the point of the film is to be a loose sort of look at the life of a writer before he made it and it worked if that writer put out pieces of fiction that i wouldn't want to read,negative +the movie was very good when it came out i attended high and upper grade center around 1968 i was also home coming queen and grew up and lived in the area of i knew a lots of people in the movie it was nice to see friends in the movie that lived in the area also and they had a chance to be a star that may have been a once in a life time experience for them i had good times growing up on the north side and tough times i can relate to the movie high is no longer standing but a person like myself and others still remember the fun we had growing up attending high there is a lot of history around this north side area to be told,positive +this program would be useful for training hardened basic human emotions beyond this purpose the show has no value other than to fill that would otherwise go in the spectrum i feel a greater sense of suspense and anticipation listening to a voice chip endlessly out the products of a random number fortunately the helpful and frequent music will tell viewers how they're supposed to feel in case they are unable to fully the predictable and shallow plot line i did find amy to be a positive character as she is a role model to young women that they can serve in male fields unfortunately her totally approach to the law is guided solely by whatever personal amy to employ resulting in trials more closely resembling appeals to the personal mercy of a than a true administration of justice this show is in any amount although this is to some extent after two episodes by the god given by which the show will thankfully leave the same on the viewer's memory as a television tuned to a dead channel at maximum volume,negative +the worst movie i've ever seen and i've seen acting is horrible plot is awful idea is terrible and no research was done what's so ever ok i admit air was a pretty good movie but not soccer this dog is smaller than my cat how can he possibly play soccer even for 10 years old kids it won't be a problem to kick the ball hard enough to the stupid dog in half it's horrible don't watch this movie,negative +ben rupert is a deeply unhappy adolescent the son of his married parents his father nicholas farrell is a and his mother laura is well let's just say she's a somewhat soldier in army it's only when he takes a summer job as an assistant to a foul mouthed eccentric once famous and now forgotten actress julie that he finally finds himself in true and fashion of course is deeply unhappy herself and it's only when these two sad find each other that they can put their mutual misery aside and hit the road to happiness br br of course it's corny and sentimental and very predictable but it has a hard side to it too and who could sleep walk her way through this sort of thing if she wanted is excellent it's when she puts the to one side and finds the pathos in the character like hitting the bottle and throwing up in the sink that she's at her best the problem is she's the only interesting character in the film and it's not because of the script which doesn't do anybody any on the other hand isn't just unhappy he's a bit of a bore as well while bitch is completely one dimensional still she's got the english accent off pat the best that can be said for it is that it's mildly enjoyable with the emphasis on the mildly,negative +for the very reason that i love movies such as central do central station 1998 i really love chop shop there is no sugar there is no attempt to make these people's lives over to something more or pretty what you see is what you get and that is often gritty and at times heartbreaking but that is exactly what makes a movie such as chop shop so wonderful alongside the fact that the storyline unfolds so and subtly for a young brother and sister who are about as close to as one would ever want to get working and living at an auto body shop in queens new york is as good as it gets is this a good or bad thing that is the question this movie essentially poses to the viewer this movie is really a fantastic slice of life piece that at times feels like a documentary instead of a drama and that is a great thing because it looks and feels so real in the midst of so so many current movies based on essentially surreal and often implausible plots stumbling upon chop shop is like finding a little gem,positive +i saw this movie yesterday i must admit i love it it's like early tarantino but better really a must but don't show this movie to anyone younger than 18 it's full of blood and sex rape scene is great now i'm just waiting for other movies of this director and a dvd release,positive +ugly heartless hollywood crap that expects nothing but and from its audience the scenes without spacey reveal how truly awful the film really is but the scenes with spacey are just so entertaining that you hang on in there right to the end yes he could play this part in his sleep but he does it so well he's such a joy to watch so believable and monstrous enjoy it for his performance but don't expect anything else from this movie if you want to see a great film about the of modern hollywood check out robert altman's the player this sad little is not remotely in the same league,negative +i have seen both the mst3k version and the uncut version i rather enjoyed it either way it wasn't that bad of a movie sure it moved a bit slow at times i liked it br br as far as mst3k goes they only did the movies they could get the rights for not all the movies they ripped apart where bad movies it was just so easy to make fun of them take for example br br joe and robert characters where so and silly i couldn't help but laugh i couldn't take them seriously it really created a unique feeling though br br vivian did an excellent job with the script a world better than 95 of the garbage in the theatres today her role was played well not too not to but just right the camera really likes her in this movie i would have casted her in that role after ready the script br br anyways this movie deserves a bit more credit than it is given please watch the uncut version if you see the mst3k it deserves that much,negative +can someone please help me i missed the last view moments and i don't want to pay money to see the whole film again i got to just where they are in the train and she says about that drink now ' and smiles what happens after that is there anymore dialogue or action surely it doesn't just end there i was a bit bored in the film and kept hoping it would get better i love scott thomas does anyone remember the uk tv series she was in about some nuns i am wanting to know the name sean penn was brilliant madonna eat your heart out everybody else in fact the film a bit predictable it was a a star the ending took me by surprise i really thought she had burnt her if you are a fan of any of the stars its worth watching,negative +retelling of the garden of story nothing new nothing shocking although i feel that that is what the filmmakers were going for the idea is trite strong performance from daisy that's about it i believed she was 13 and i was interested in her character the rest left me cold,negative +the main character has suffered a loss of his wife and child in the pre film past he deals with with by just down emotionally too long a movie too much time spent on face too much road time one of the of tv filling time with moving cars trains etc long scenes of him doing trivial sometimes totally inexplicable trivial actions with neither reason or emotion his best friends joseph and domino are not much more their relationship based on sex this film perhaps gives new meaning to the phrase gratuitous sex domino and mother are the two characters who display some emotion but not much it is hard to tell with all the characters in this movie is it indifferent acting indifferent writing or simply indifferent characters portrayed by good writing and good acting characters in this film talk very little to anyone it's little wonder their emotionally isolated which is all the more bizarre because it's clear they live in a neighborhood where the people are friendly and know each other,negative +the united states of was an amazing movie i kept passing it on the guide on my tv not knowing what it was and never having the chance to sit there and get into it then one morning when i woke up early i saw that it was just about to start so i decided to watch it i had the time and interest to watch it when i saw that ryan was in the movie and then that he was the main character i was immediately sucked in and could not move from my couch the struggle that goes through is such an inspiring story everyone has to deal with the same type of thoughts throughout sometime in their life whether it be a small minor detail or something as big as what he's going through i have to sit and watch the movie again just to catch all the stuff that i may have missed the first time around as a general comment i would recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan or anyone who just likes a good movie with a real good story the fact that there are so many other big stars who all also had great performances is just an added bonus so do what you can to take the time to check out this movie i can almost be sure it won't be a waste of time,positive +spoilers feeling alone and needing as well as love frances austen sandy dennis keeps all these emotions inside as she goes through life as a popular young single lady who has many high class friends but for reasons of her own deep she keeps them at arms length as for frances male friends non are anywhere near her age so that she won't have any reason to have any romantic involvement with them br br one early evening as frances was entertaining some of her friends she spots outside her apartment window a young man michael burns sitting alone in the cold rain feeling that he's homeless and alone after her friends leave frances goes outside to the park and offers the young man shelter at her place until the rain and even to stay over for the night at a guest bedroom that she has you can see right away that frances is more interested in just having the young mans safely out of the cold and rain then she wants to have him as a friend lover or even play toy all for herself and as the movie progresses you see that you were right br br a really amazing performance by sandy dennis that in a way is very much like that of kathy academy award performance in the movie misery that was made in 1990 some twenty one years later frances thinking that the young man was alone and homeless and later when she meets him mute sees the perfect person for her to have as a true friend he's in no way her equal or better then her like the friends that she has doctors lawyers indian and thus is totally on her it later turns out that the young man is not the lonely and homeless person that frances thought that he is it's when she slowly finds out that he really doesn't need her as well as him her instead the other way around it sets off something in mind that turns out to be a of murderous proportions br br a really weird film by director robert altman that goes deep into the depths of loneliness and depression of the human mind actress sandy dennis is perfect as the dr and miss hyde personality in her acting as the lonely but at the same time dangerous frances austen and it's a pity that not only didn't she get an academy award for her role in the film but wasn't even nominated for it br br like most robert altman movies there seems to be a lot of among the actors in the movie and ad dialog especially between the young man's sister nina and her boyfriend nick david garfield the only thing in the movie that i found confusing is when we see frances go to a city clinic to have a full and tells the doctor that she expects to get married very soon was her husband to be the young man staying at her apartment but besides that the movie sticks to the story pretty well and the ending is a real shock to the audience as well as the young man when he finally in the end realizes that frances is not only a bit off the wall but insane as well,positive +this film and i use that term loosely reminds me of the first joke my daughter wrote at months p u br br like that joke this movie can only appeal to the very young the very immature or the very stupid br br that said there are a few bright spots br br the effects where the majority of the 100 million went are and convincing i mean as convincing as those kind of cgi effects can be the cgi baby effects are not great but i imagine those are very hard to do well although for a hundred million bucks they could have been better br br the dog from in his usual performance steven wright did well with a small part alan was well alan as villain which we've seen before and bob as was but enjoyable br br the actress playing mrs was cute as a button as you'd expect and jamie kennedy as you'd expect his best role so far was in the scream trilogy not to be confused with the lord of the rings trilogy and in three kings he should stick perhaps to more subtle forms of comedy jim carrey he ain't br br the writing and direction were if anything worse than performance i semi remember one clever though seven year old clever line that i wish someone would quote accurately for the memorable quotes section something about costume being the crap in it was a second grade joke but sort of funny in context br br over all since there's nothing lower than a one i give this film a one,negative +gore beware this is not your movie this little nail bitter has very little blood and guts its basically a version of open water that is effective and worthwhile but what sets it apart is that we actually like the three leads unlike open water who find themselves up a tree when a crocodile their fishing boat and up their guide we don't want any harm to come to any of them so when they start getting into dangerous situations we actually care br br now i like killer animal flicks but i haven't been too impressed with lake up to although i'm still waiting to see rogue and hoping it is somewhere as good as this one but this little did the job and did the job well it's scares are creative and it only into the run of the mill frantic crying and arguing for brief of realism so i never got annoyed br br i remember reading the true story that inspired this where three guys went fishing and two ended up in a tree while their buddy was killed by the crocodile but the thing that always me that gets left out from the film was that the crocodile didn't eat up the buddy no for hours and hours he around the tree and the dead body still in his mouth at the friends in the tree seeming to stay if you come down here this is what will happen to you,positive +focuses on leopold and homosexual relationship a of the case that has been mostly and ignored since their trial even by leopold himself in his autobiography but even in its treatment of this over does it by far worse it twists combines and straight out the details of the case which will anyone who knows much about it while at the same time managing to confuse those who are not familiar with it while it is an interestingly made film stinks br br 1 out of 10 awful,negative +one of the last films directed by lionel barrymore ten cents a dance stars barbara stanwyck as the dance hall girl barbara in her sixth role stanwyck looks quite plain jane in this one and opens with her getting out by the dance hall manager then along comes rich guy cortez who wants to her off her feet cortez and stanwyck had made three films together in the 1930s then she meets eddie who's very different from the dashing the writer jo had worked on some its a wonderful life guys and dolls and gone with the wind so i was surprised that the characters and script in this were so ordinary the story starts getting more interesting about halfway thru and is very similar to the bride walks out from 1936 also starring stanwyck t b w o is much more clever but also more tame due to on of the code,positive +while this movie did have a few scary moments great use of music and film angles to build suspense it's obvious director ethan and scriptwriter eddy didn't waste any time their subject matter which also makes me question their claim that the scenes were by a genuine catholic bishop br br amongst the many inconsistencies br br the roman catholic priest when we first meet him outside the church is wearing an academic over his rather than the typical or academic are worn by in not roman catholic priests br br the priest quotes some obscure and disturbing about the angels taking up weapons he attributes it to st paul this is not from st paul's neither is it in the bible i can't even find it in the br br tells his bishop he doesn't believe in demon possession and turns down the request to study but does a complete later that same day within minutes of talking to possessed isabelle sure it's possible but a little unrealistic see father as a priest psychologist in the original the exorcist for a bit more realistic portrayal of a turned believer br br the former priest turned is the first to try an on isabelle he quotes and she quotes back he says i see you know she him that's they're both wrong br br the former priest who just got done performing an making the sign of the cross calling on the name of christ holy water etc tells he doesn't believe in church and he doesn't believe in god maybe he's just conflicted him to put on home made and have another go at it anyway br br the former roman catholic priest crosses himself backwards or eastern style as an hispanic roman catholic who used to be a priest he should've crossed himself to left side to right side of chest br br i had to read into the little side stories to get the notion satan was messing with the whole family not just isabelle but even in the end it was hard to say for sure if anyone was really guilty of the images in their heads or if it was all demonic except for the sheriff it's pretty clear he was guilty br br on the positive side isabelle was creepy in my opinion she was the best part of the whole movie and i liked the plot twist with claire br br i'm just not sure if the movie was meant to be serious or a spoof br br listening to the running commentary with cameron and ethan i'm inclined to believe it was a joke,negative +while i can understand some of the points made regarding the cinematography i thought a more approach would have better supported the low fi home movie feel i must say that i thought the script and acting of what alice found were excellent dean bell has crafted a real gem that charms with character driven delight her performance of sandra is a pleasure unfolding alternately as diabolical and romantic we are at once intrigued and by her actions and never given more information than is necessary and the supporting efforts meet post modern fairy tale with arms wide open emily alice is with a eyed magic she seems to mold like clay before us into some sort of beautiful lost beast by the end we are at odds with words as she is saying goodbye to her mother kudos also should be out to jane lincoln taylor whose mother provides the right amount of tragic historic weight and justin whose shy first time john sam provides one of the if not most awkward sex scenes in film bell has created a first rate story and assembled a of talent to make it,positive +never before has such a large cast of ugly people

scientists have affairs inept cops and doctors puzzle over the increasing numbers of corpses stella and peter make out on the beach and characters we don't care about are killed off or up the sea killer a weird combination of an a shark and a pair of large never really seems as threatening as it should the conspiracy behind the creation makes no sense whatsoever none of the characters are particularly likable and the ones who might be are killed off immediately this is a poorly shot badly dubbed plot less mess the whole thing is so and it made me long for a hot bath i've had scarier than this film avoid it unless it's the mst3k version,negative +is the best movie ever is the best movie i have ever seen the plot was like nothing ever seen or done before these people are truly blessed with a talent no joke i love this movie i need to buy it but i cant find at any place it is a dream for me to go and meet the actors and try and do a 2 i rented at broadway video and kept it for a week longer than i should have and asked them if i could buy it off of them they said no a big disappointment and an even bigger one the week after i returned it i wanted to go and rent it again but come to find out broadway video was out of business if anyone has the movie or knows where i can buy it at then please tell me write to me at com,positive +not me if it came down to it i could kick a ass and that's why this movie doesn't work for me if it was me against the alien or jason or hell i any other horror movie antagonist then be no contest and i'd have my ass handed to me divine a horror movie works because it puts people in a situation with a creature person being whatever that is more powerful or or intelligent than they are and then people think what if that happened to and they get scared and that's why this is a horrible idea for a story i can't imagine myself being by a dog so i'm not scared,negative +by 1950 john ford had already fully developed the ideas and that would form the core of his most successful westerns always present for example is a strong sense of community most captured in the family of 'the of wrath 1940 ' within these even amid ford's themes of racism and the spirit there's always room for the smaller human interactions the minor friendships and romances that make life worth living master 1950 ' came after ford had released the first two films in his trilogy – 1948 ' and wore a yellow 1949 ' – and it covers similar territory only without the military perspective and more the strong lead of john wayne ben johnson and harry cary jr are fine actors but they feel as though they should be playing second to somebody and ward mormon elder while potentially a candidate for such a role isn't given quite enough focus to fit the bill br br in master ' ford seems so comfortable with his tried and tested western formula that any character development is largely over ben romance with is treated as an more than anything else and harry cary charming of a mormon girl is so as to be almost nonexistent in the final film leaving one to the survival of deleted scenes only in charles charismatic and shamelessly villainous uncle does ford try some different and it works even with his being surrounded by a of hammy slack where ford does succeed is in the of three distinct races of americans – the values the horse the eccentric travelling – into a cohesive community of looking towards a bright future this apparent harmony is thrown into by the arrival of uncle gun who exploit the of the western frontier but ultimately lose out to the noble who only ever drew on snakes br br ford reportedly considered master among the favourite of his films and perhaps this has something to do with the absence of big names like john wayne or henry fonda armed only with his stock selection of usual players ford is able to generate a sense of community by avoiding placing focus on any one character though most of the still remain completely anonymous despite being undoubtedly well made i can't help feeling that this film only does well what other ford pictures did even better the terrific of the the western frontier was presented more beautifully in wore a yellow the romances and friendly among community members took greater in the early relations with native americans only hinted at here were more thoroughly examined in 'the 1956 ' the bold spirit of the early was explored more albeit by henry and george marshall in the west was won ' is pure john ford but it isn't a landmark,positive +remember back when this movie was made by robert downey senior a very good entertaining black awareness feature which was an underground hit in california los angeles and new york at the time a loved classic where changes which occur in the business world are striking refreshing and interesting comedy non not like basic society at the time of 1969 now watched is still very good but today's life in america totally from good for the baby,positive +atmosphere and dialog don't redeem this overrated classic boyer is a french thief hiding in the of while the police try to figure out how to get him out meanwhile he falls for and tries to find a way to escape the film is slow to get started and never really goes anywhere reminiscent of casablanca in some ways it's completely lacking any larger theme than the wanted man a good woman it's all talk talk talk with endless scenes of boyer among his idiot and boyer in the shadows personally i didn't care for character for a minute so the tension was utterly nonexistent br br stock 1930s character actors stumble thru the plot as henchmen guys who clearly do not belong in is the wildly overacting jealous girlfriend of boyer his in front of her doesn't well for any future he might have with br br especially bad is a long sequence in which an comes to tell boyer how another henchman was captured it sounds exciting too bad we didn't see it for

also want to ask about something does anyone know the artist song name of the song that the young boy cant remember his name now plays on his cd player when his dad and 2 men comes and takes the tv

roles as mary bland in eating and miss in rock roll high school is by far the best thing about this tripe this film is almost too bad even for mst3k honestly,negative +square pigs as a way of space is the one and only clever moment in space believe it or not dennis hopper has done worse see the american way but this movie is way up there on the cream of the crap scale i think the best way to describe the viewing experience is that space will please no one too cartoon like too be taken seriously an almost total lack of humor and poor character development virtually disappointment the beer and popcorn crowd might tolerate one viewing but all others have been warned to avoid space for all of the above reasons,negative +looking back on the year 2006 one of the things i will remember most is the on the internet for a film called snakes on a plane but unknown to me there was a straight to dvd rip off film called snakes on a train after seeing this i feel its at best a below par b movie br br the plot br br a husband and wife get on a train to go to los angles to get help form the husbands uncle who is a this is because the wife's family do not of her him so they have put a curse on her that snakes will become her thought with a sixteen hour drive to los angles and a group of passengers the include an ex cop and some drug will they get there in time before the snakes take her over br br view on the film first the effects i have to say that while some scenes with the smaller snakes look good in a gory way the main effect shots you have to wait minutes to see are sadly that bad that they completely kill any good memories of the film the film makes video games look like next to this one of the things i noticed is that there is no screenplay credit on the film and the directors make the film so anti climatic it ruins the whole film final view on the film br br a below par b movie with an unbelievably bad ending,negative +i would give this movie a good strong 7 while it isn't the greatest movie or even one the best movies of it's kind the killing fields is better it does at least attempt to tell a necessary story br br i think the method of introducing laura into was a bit contrived first of all isn't exactly the country to visit especially in the late 80's secondly if you did make it your would not get lost a sane person would make darn sure they knew where their was at all times with that in mind i'm sure the screenwriter knew that was weak but needed something patricia performance was understated and i just didn't buy that she was a doctor however at least she didn't the role which often happens in movies like this u was good but also understated the end is hard to follow since most of the dialogue is in with people for laura it would have been difficult for laura and is difficult for the viewer as well another plus is the strong se asian scenery in the film which was enjoyable to see,positive +i went to see this film last night at the national film theatre in london as a birthday treat it was the the first time i've seen it and i think it has now the dreadful as the worst film i have ever seen disjointed for no reason self indulgent and full of imagery that from the crass and obvious to the obscure and not particularly beautifully or shot i really don't understand why this is considered classic gay or otherwise i normally enjoy films that push boundaries or even films that are hard to watch because of their length or unusual cinematography but this was truly truly awful,negative +it may be hard to explain how but this film is a masterpiece perhaps because i never imagined that a plot like this or a film with so few words would convey all this poetry the true poetry and of human passions and obsession is amazing and needless to say that is as a perfect scenery dark sinking and dreary just like soul and classical music is more that a simple background to human feelings in my opinion a classic masterpiece of european film making,positive +this is the best movie ever but that is my opinion some say it's cheesy but i think it is truly a beautiful film the chemistry between jennifer grey and patrick it's like no other i have ever seen and that is what makes the film so perfect i always wonder what would have been of this film if these two actors never existed because not just one them did it for me they both did if you have never seen this film when you do you will understand what i mean dirty dancing looks like it was done from the heart and it feels so real for some reason like magic and the soundtrack love it besides the 2 lead actors the soundtrack makes the film the beauty that it is as you can tell i am in love with this film and i know you will be too,positive +this movie was well done it covers the difficulties a returning vietnam veteran has in dealing with the horrors of war unfortunately the writers chose to focus on a vet who had been involved in an act of atrocity i was in vietnam and only once heard of such an act by one who witnessed it the was and sentenced to many years in br br the notion that only vets involved in atrocities had emotional problems is a to all who served all of the soldiers i knew personally or knew of by word of mouth were honorable soldiers who respected even the enemy and believed they were there to halt the spread of communism the biggest problem was coming home to learn that many americans were opposed to the war that is what caused many veterans to feel they had taken part in something less than honorable not the manner in which they served br br the ending depicted the father acting more as a bully than a loving caring father for that i gave it a 7 out of 10 had the ending allowed for a degree of acceptance i could have rated it a 9 br br most decent men will come home from war with guilt and emotional they need acceptance and understanding to overcome that i pray that the public is more understanding of our present day veterans than it was in the the vietnam era,positive +a lot of the films i've made probably could have worked just as well 50 years ago and that's just because i have a lot of old fashion values steven spielberg br br some points br br 1 though this film is a loose remake of a guy named joe it also borrows heavily from a matter of life and death and wings of desire br br 2 this was spielberg's second attempt at being frank br br 3 spielberg has often said that he wishes to make a frank movie in the vein of it's a wonderful life and mrs smith goes to washington judging from his recent attempts to get a harvey remake off the ground it seems as though spielberg still holds this dream the director rightfully not satisfied with his last 3 into br br 4 critics at the time always stating that the elaborate action sequences distracted from the film's romance but that's really not the problem at all the problem is that always needs a lot more special effects to distract us from the fact that spielberg can't film any line of dialogue that doesn't end in an point br br 5 the film is filled with comedy that just doesn't work spielberg's comedic tastes aren't very sophisticated and seem to be ripped right out of 1950's and looney tune cartoons these exaggerated antics may work in a cartoon universe but in a film it just seems like an odd marriage br br 6 the film's lead couple come across as brother and sister not lovers spielberg's films have always being toward sex and but this film goes to extreme she's a and he's a old man they're more irritating than endearing br br 7 the film contains one good scene in which john goodman with holly hunter but for the most part the film's characters are too annoying there's no subtlety every emotion every joke over designed every sequence filled with unnecessary br br 8 always and hook taught spielberg how to con audiences after their failure and the twin financial failures of the color purple and empire of the sun spielberg dumped the goofy colour cinematography of color purple and empire of the sun in favour for the more black and white worlds of list minority report and saving private ryan from here on less light and dark cinematography became with serious topics br br 9 after the financial success of each dark film spielberg back to his colour cinematography and falls flat on his face once again followed list followed ryan and lincoln will follow these colour films are always for being too tacky sentimental corny and hokey but the truth is if you removed the all these serious films would feel the same way br br 10 since the 70s spielberg has tried to himself from the other brat pack directors scorsese de palma coppola etc by pretending to be an and he would himself state this repeatedly during many interviews in the late 70s the reality though is that he is probably the biggest of all these directors the very form of his films often their content their very box office performances always to their dazzling displays of carnage br br 11 the failure of spielberg to connect with any of the characters in always and the he shows instead for filming forest fires air planes crashing etc perfectly the rest of his filmography people running from dinosaurs sharks nazis rocks etc this is what spielberg in the moment his characters stop to speak however everything self a film like failed in other words because not enough blacks died and too many whites talked br br 12 the film's flying scenes aren't up to the set several years earlier in the mega hit top gun of course when your enemy is a forest fire it's hard to make things cinematic br br 13 failures like 1941 hook always etc are often more that spielberg's more successful films they reveal the steel beneath the technique they show what the amusement park ride looks like when its not working revealing the beneath the broken br br 5 10 – there's one good sequence here two actors in a room simply but this is mostly an annoying picture with a predictable script br br worth one viewing,negative +even my five year old was bored br br very predictable and this movie couldn't make up it's mind as to whether it was slapstick or commentary on the state of pee wee sports br br characters were underdeveloped could have done more with the connection between father and son both coming from an br br did not like the reference regarding the the to his very mean spirited for a kid's movie br br typical mafia behavior was boring and stereotypical br br the dog however was so darn cute,negative +the first official release of world wrestling film division is a pretty basic horror slasher movie called see no evil starring kane one of their big men known for having an presence hard hitting moves and one of the most convoluted in wrestling and let's not pull any punches here while this movie is promoted as the greatest horror movie of all time mostly by wwe it goes without saying that after having seen this movie i can confirm it as one of the greatest comedies of all time br br see no evil sees a bunch of juvenile sent to a hotel so they can clean up of course a monstrous murderer played by kane also happens to be living in this hotel and we all know where that goes without giving away too much of the movie plot this film has all the semblance and structure of an early 1980s slasher flick with most of the clichés intact but without any of the scares that those films and that's sort of the main problem with see no evil it tries so many of the tricks implied by its predecessors in the genre that it comes off as predictable veteran horror fans will easily recognize some of the gimmicks ahead of time and even those who have only seen a few flicks should tell what happens next it's too generic to be scary br br the movie's gory no doubt but it's only there for the effect the dark atmosphere in the movie gives off that feel of terror initially but as you get towards the end it somehow feels out of place and gets tiresome quickly the death scenes don't come off as gory and horrific as much as they do laughable although some of them are pretty inventive br br and the acting in this movie is pretty bad too as the main characters aren't developed enough for us to care when they eventually do get some can't even portray fear properly they just scream and cry in a vain effort to so when they die it only adds to the comedy because you don't care enough about them that you simply consider them the equivalent of to the monster kane br br as for kane he simply portrayed his movie character the same way he portrays his wrestling character only he uses and instead of and there's no doubt in my mind that kane can be a great in the horror genre he has the look and presence for it he just needs better material specifically a script that isn't written by someone who writes wrestling shows to work with br br now despite what may seem like a harsh review i actually enjoyed the film it's one of those laughably bad movies that you can't help but sit down and enjoy my main with the film again is that it's simply an exercise in filming gory kills and doesn't have any frightening or shock moments i enjoyed it but i enjoyed because it was easy for me to laugh off some of what was supposed to be scary moments in the movie if that happens because it was supposed to be that way the movie would have been rated higher but it didn't it got laughs because it's a b movie and it doesn't help that the director's previous experiences was porn flicks and music videos not exactly things to direct anyway nonetheless i enjoyed it tremendously br br if you don't mind a fun b movie or funny horror film i'd highly recommend see no evil if you are a true of the genre i'd wait until the dvd comes out before checking it out everyone else should probably go watch something else,negative +i am a fan of jess bizarre style and a lover even of his films and my personal opinion is that he has besides several very entertaining movies also created a few masterpieces such as the brilliant aka in of 1969 for example it is however an fact that the movies this highly prolific filmmaker has directed in his career also include a bunch of big time of 1981 certainly is one of these just an utterly bad and plot less movie with the ability to bore the hell out of you in spite of constant sleaze and nudity br br sure the constant nudity will keep you entertained for 20 minutes but since it keeps going on and on like that one is pretty likely to get bored after a short time the only thing that really kept me watching this was the intensity of the sleaze which is spoken slightly amusing br br after couple of get lost in the desert on some island they are stopped by a bunch of topless women carrying guns of a local prison camp while the husband is from the island the wife is taken to the prison camp a place of torture and sexual by the sadistic and an extremely perverted the prisoners are of course entirely hot chicks most of them the are entirely topless women carrying br br the plot if one can call it that is extremely stupid of course but who is going to watch this for a good plot anyway the only interesting thing about is the high level of exploitation even for a in film there are probably two short scenes in the movie where we see a woman actually wearing a top the sleaze contains all kinds of sexual from rape to and some of the torture scenes are really nasty br br it is amazing that a film with this extreme level of sleaze however can still be so boring the sleaze will keep you watching in the beginning but after the first 45 minutes i actually had a hard time not to fall asleep it also makes me wonder why out of all jess franco chose wilson who was according to most sources a who had been born a man well maybe for exactly that reason if you really want to watch this make sure you have enough beer at home to sit through it and watch it for the sleaze and exploitation only and maybe for the slight unintentional fun factor don't expect to be highly entertained however it is almost unbelievable how a movie with such a high sleaze level can be so boring i am a jess franco fan and i always will be but is just bad 2 10,negative +i was in grade and this movie aired on during a series called ' i distinctly remember sitting on a couch watching the movie with tears running down my face at the end in the film jesse the main character forms an unusual friendship with a girl named leslie due to a very simple but mistake one of the pair dies at the time i found the story very powerful because the fatal mistake is exactly the type of mistake a kid would make and so any kid watching the film will find it very easy to identify with and feel the emotional weight of the tragedy that ensues br br last year i finally down a vhs copy of the show i probably should have stuck with my memories watching the show as an adult i was absolutely shocked by what a horribly made film this was my girlfriend had a similar memory of the movie as well and she too was pretty sad about how bad the movie was compared to her memories br br many adults probably have a good memory of watching this movie when they were kids i strongly advise that these people leave their memories intact and avoid seeing this film as an adult,negative +i was in blockbuster and i saw a film called dark the cover art looked great the plot wasn't that bad and the you what you made the movie look pretty good but i was dumb that day because i did something i should have never done i rented a straight to video independent horror film walking out with my much better i went home popped dark in the dvd player and it began i figured i would watch the trailer after the film was done bad idea but went ahead and watched it anyway now to the review possible spoilers first off the acting by the kids sucks and the scene when the 2 main characters are talking the lighting sucks and the buildings even look fake now they go to this house where sean i think he's the main character i don't care relatives lived there all of a sudden one by one they all start getting killed by gasp a killer scarecrow the scarecrow is obviously the definition of low budget and the scenes where the scarecrow is looks so fake it's hilarious it makes dinosaur noises and everything and then at the end they shoot the scarecrow with a gun that is red for god's sake and looks like it was purchased at a local family dollar and it pauses for a while and then gasp blows up br br save yourself some time i'm telling you this movie sucks if you need to pass an hour and a half look at the wall because looking at the wall is a fun compared to this disaster it is quite funny though br br overall grade f if there was anything lower f than i would give it that,negative +i wish it were last dumb thriller but thrillers are like that they are like children numerous illogical and often annoying they want so desperately to be taken seriously but what is there to take seriously about a child's behaviour or a plot having seen this particular child i mean thriller i understand why reviewers refer to it as a thriller they might as well have called it idiotic for that's what means in the movie look it up if you don't believe me even the soundtrack is old school hollywood which is a mistake it doesn't fit a late 70s film and makes it look phony besides how dare they steal de palma's idea of stealing from hitchcock the story is absurd wife is killed and her killers are never an issue instead first his former follow him around and later decide to kill him why do they decide to kill him no explanation perhaps because the fbi is a dark dark organization x files which is very trigger happy about knocking off its former employees for reasons or perhaps because it's to want to kill in this movie everyone seems to be after him and while the poor unsuspecting viewer is trying to figure out the mystery by assuming that there is a major conspiracy in reality the killer is janet yes the woman living quarters the one that briefly hinted she was why does she go after at precisely a time when his wife was murdered and he is feeling paranoid and followed by his own ex and not a few years earlier or few years after the wife's murder a pure look it up again in the in case you forgot what it means coincidence and how about that brilliant motive of hers her grandmother was forced into prostitution when she was a fresh off the boat 15 year old virgin in ny and then by a bunch of horny jewish men one of whom is grandfather as a result has been playing a hooker in her spare time among other things in order to kill off all the of the men who so her once grandmother how look it up is that the finale then shamelessly rips off the scene from north by except that the love interest is a killer and she doesn't get saved br br the movie also offers some dubious off dialog and some not so great acting check out the silly and obvious way in which follows at the cemetery let's also not forget the moronic plot device of reaching for his jacket and holding his hand very but it wasn't a gun how brilliant in the tower now there's another string of illogical j was is and always will be a director without style without flair and the man who directed philadelphia let's give him another oscar,negative +okay so i don't understand why people are getting so over this movie so i thought it was going to be the usual amanda movie but it wasn't it was great br br okay okay so the acting wasn't the best but i thought the performances were still overall great also you could tell that the actors were having fun while doing this movie in other movies that have surprisingly won awards where the actors didn't like working on the film you could tell all of the actors had chemistry and that also showed br br a ton of people are ripping on the soccer skills that the actors have so they're not perfect get over it they are actors not soccer players i have been playing soccer for my whole life and trust me it is hard to learn so stop ripping on the level of skills they have br br i thought this movie was going to be stupid but it was really funny the way amanda and can make a situation funny without even saying anything is funny i found myself laughing a lot in this movie br br overall i love it,positive +the thing is john carpenter's best movie his talents for tension building and shocks with decent production values he turned out a perfectly crafted sci fi horror movie br br by filming in truly difficult conditions he creates a very believable isolated research base which sets the tension before anything has even happened the ensemble cast work well together with kurt russell proving a charismatic leading man even under all that beard br br by building the tension slowly with moments of gory horror courtesy of effects rob currently directing freddy vs jason carpenter creates a movie that has rarely been matched considering this came out the same year as et it could not be more different br br worth a watch 9 out of 10 br br p s the dvd is excellent lots of extras plus the best dvd commentary going with carpenter russell plus in digital for even scarier sound effects,positive +the last of the sequels not counting and meet frankenstein which was more or less a spoof this time count dracula john takes center stage seeking a cure for his from a kindly doc stevens well good larry jr shows up also seeking a cure the good doc succeeds in but dracula tricks the doc and ends up his blood and makes the good doc a crazed lunatic oh and all this time big glenn strange lies on a table awaiting his electricity fix so he can some havoc this was kind of a short movie around 70 minutes and some change but the action is there and the great actors are there as well lionel turns up as a police inspector some trivia lionel appeared in son of frankenstein ghost of frankenstein frankenstein meets the wolf man and house of frankenstein and then this one if there was another in the series they may have added the creature from the black to the line up i'm giving house of dracula 8 out of 10,positive +one of the things that i like about anderson is that he has the guts to take talent that most people push to the side or have pushed to the side and makes them stars case in point a washed up burt reynolds delivers a great performance in this film and if proving adam can be a great actor punch drunk love wasn't enough here comes mark like you've never seen before br br i think many people pass up boogie nights cause they are anti porn or just flat out hate the adult industry and can't overlook that aspect of this film but underneath that is a great story about characters losing everything and battle to regain themselves there is a beautiful film and it's too bad that enough people see that,positive +this was a riveting film one that really drew me in i'm a big fan of william h macy and he puts in a wonderful performance his great coupled with the way his character breaks the fourth wall really gave me a sense of in his actions i found myself waiting for the whole house of cards to come down around him and by myself as his and silent witness it took several minutes for me to relax once the film had ended i was so wrapped up in it br br good performances all around too not just with macy arkin was quite good as was he was surprisingly fierce in short i highly recommend this film to any fans of macy and or the murder mystery but you may want to prepare to feel a little guilty,positive +this was obviously the worst movie ever made was the starring role in this movie and would be the only for an award cause the plot actors and anything related to this farce was absolutely horrible and ridiculous i could have made a better horror flick in my backyard within two hours with a hand held camera using grass stuffed as the actors the acting would have been better don't waste your time or money on this one it's extremely cheesy and horrible,negative +in a quiet town a couple of girls witness the murder of one of their friends to a strange young boy named milo who lives on the other side of town after the murder his body is found in a river and his dead so sixteen years later a draws the girls back to their childhood town and claire a school teacher becomes obsessed that milo hasn't died as she has recurring visions of him and her friends are dying one by one and no one believes her when she claims milo is apart of it so now she sets off to find out the horrifying truth br br when i came across this film i was pretty about it especially when it had from the creators of on the front cover but reading the odd little plot outline on the back of the video case it sounded alright and rather refreshing for a change well guess what i thought it was a good idea at the time but it was a totally different story when it came to watching the film it just seemed to try to hard to be smart and very psychological based but that latter element didn't come off that well for me and it was basically a prolonged and mostly unconvincing thriller hey i'll admit it had its moments but hardly enough to make it neither effectively chilling or memorable but a bravo to the filmmakers at least the story isn't a rehash of those slasher that followed scream and shock horror there's no self humour actually there isn't even a hint of humour although maybe it was too serious especially since the plot is rather absurd but that's not its main problem what a disjointed plot we get i didn't know about to much that was going on as it seems to a lot stuff in favour for some supposedly shocking and disturbing sequences no more like irrelevant scenes and yawn inducing clichés that we see from time to time also you can see some influences from some good 70's horror films one being don't look now this when our main character keeps on seeing the figure of her past in a the other would have to be one of my favourites alice sweet alice with the person causing the trouble wearing a yellow and committing grisly deaths interesting idea but it comes across quite shallow and too many faults pop up i liked it more when the scenes dealt with the character's childhood as the performances and circumstances had something creepy about it but when it into their its tired and for most part and the performances weren't awful but incredibly mundane and hardly involving is a good way of putting it most of the dialogue had me in disbelief at how contrived and awkward it was you'll be yelling no duh at the screen because you just can't believe what you're hearing the police detective gets the of it br br quality wise the film isn't bad actually it's better then your usual straight to video i would say very slick stuff with some inventive and prominent camera angles and a faint score that works reasonably well another factor that stood out and was a key to building on the moody atmosphere was the sound effects and that bell does leave a sensation in your ears the setting of a quiet school was well done and rest of the action takes place in a house but just don't be expecting any real suspense or surprises as the execution of these are non existent the deaths aren't pleasant and they're mildly bloody and it's more the aftermath to what happens to these bodies which tries to you the villain in this piece the mean spirited child milo was mildly unnerving well that voice and yellow does make an to begin with but it does seem to lose its effect when we come to the films conclusion the cheesy tag lines on the video compare him to move over jason watch out freddy and this isn't child's play but you got to be kidding me right he's the new face of evil yeah sure all he needs is to be taught some manners and problem solved overall the film just left me with a sour taste as i've could've gone without seeing it i probably wished i did br br just don't expect too much in this of a film or even better just skip it as you won't be missing out on much really,negative +not a terrible film my 10 year old boy loved it and he would be the target so i guess they hit the spot pretty dull for an adult though br br hard to relate to animated characters even high tech ones br br i thought the choice of the three great virtues of the world was a bit odd duty and destiny am i the only one who thinks those sound just a bit especially destiny what about freedom justice etc br br oh well it will sell kind of dull for a movie but not bad for a minute could have been a lot worse,negative +i watching 15 park despite of the movie as a clichéd topic of extreme emotional dramas and over the top acting br br once in a while movies like 15 park come by and you off your feet br br the movie your attention pretty early on and there is no moment to rest after that has done a wonderful job of the audience to every line of the movie the impeccable character development just right amount of emotions and an enigmatic end to match it all br br i have a respect for who convincingly plays the she beats expectation yet again after page 3 and mr mrs role is very well developed and does full justice to the character add incredible flavor to the movie br br i define shower moments as thoughts of scenes from a movie that you over in your shower endlessly till your wife girlfriend mom at the door delivers many shower moments especially the conversation between and her mother where the mother is when talking to about her thoughts it immediately brings out personality to the audience br br the end is a very bold statement by the director probably too for the indian audience yet delivers the elements to promote the movie from a good to a great status,positive +i went to see with high expectations which might have influence on my opinion on it i have seen all of the films and this is by far the worst the story with themes from shakespeare's play king but never succeeds in capturing the audience and making them care the directing of the actors is very loose even for style movies and results in poor acting the story lacks any dynamics whatsoever and i lost interest very shortly there are some scenes in the film which are there to shock the viewer but i don't think they enhanced the story at all sang and are both that proved to be well directed and had good so i shall look forward to better in the future perhaps an invisible man 6 will prove to lift the quality again for he is like and s k a skilled and educated director,negative +i knew it was going to be awful but not this awful as it's one of the most boring movies i have ever seen not a damn thing happens all the characters are dull and the story is stupid and incredibly boring plus the ending is especially lame the only reason i rented this piece of crap because i am a big fan of michael however he is wasted here and looks extremely bored and shows no emotion what so ever plus i out loud when the movie was over it's like the movie had no plot and it was all about nothing and ice t is god awful even though he is ok in some stuff plus and had no chemistry together at all there's one scene that the director tried to make emotional but he fails miserably as didn't really show all that much emotion however there is a decent car chase scene but that's not enough for me to recommend this god awful film plus the dialog is atrocious avoid this movie like the plague not a damn thing happens please avoid and trust me on this one you may thank me the direction is horrible fred ray does a horrible job here with shoddy camera work laughably cheap looking set pieces terrible angles laughable use of stock footage and keeping the film at an incredibly dull pace the acting is terrible michael is nowhere near his usual amazing self he looks extremely bored and shows no emotion what so ever his character is also extremely dull as i can't believe he signed on for this piece of garbage he also had no chemistry with still rules ice t has barely anything to do and also looks bored and he didn't convince me one bit is not very good here he had somewhat of a character i didn't like him is pretty but was really terrible here she didn't show much emotion and had no chemistry with and as a result i didn't give a damn about her character art owen kathy and the rest of the cast are bad as well overall please avoid like the plague fred ray and steve should be ashamed of themselves bomb out of 5,negative +this movie was release when i was 15 and i could easily relate to the themes the film portrayed br br that was over 24 years ago and i haven't seen the movie since this time around i at some of the acting but still appreciate the film for what it is br br life is not always fair and the good guys don't always win in fact i think the movie did well to reflect that especially as a teenager the always did better with a lot of girls also it doesn't matter how nice you are you cannot make someone like you girls boys like who they want to like no matter how hard you try otherwise sometimes you just gotta let go and say next br br gary does a good job showing the intensity of his feelings for karen this is so true of teenagers when they get on someone br br i remember sitting around with mates laughing our off at some of the antics the acting is not quite there compared with fast times at high but it kicks ass over this movie simply because has a lame viewer friendly ending where as this movie has a realistic ending nice guys finish last gary comes across as pretty lame cringe worthy material but we all know guys like this who are far to sensitive we all know a david fun guy who makes you laugh br br some people on here bag the ending but hello the ending is exactly what can happen in real life some chicks just go back for more no matter how bad the dude treats them especially at that age i have experienced that first hand br br great sound track too i will follow jesus is it that old,positive +there are good movies and there are bad movies and then there's zero a film so utterly bad it makes spending a month in with an insurance salesman an attractive entertainment alternative br br with an incomprehensible plot about the gates of hell opening within a of under the film is a mess of repetitive and nonsensical shots of a little girl running through red lights floating about and strange wall shadows none of which serves to any fear or tension but instead the reaction of here they go again with the girl or lights from the viewer br br directed by who for reasons i can only conclude as shame was billed as the movie stars vince as owen an american priest who travels to in search of a friend and colleague who has gone missing in the he the help of a series of locals who with the exception of are all portrayed by spanish actors trying with limited success to russian accents br br along the way they cross paths with members of some sort of underground leather religious mafia headed by a val kilmer whose career seems to be in such free fall that he's to appearing in dreck like this and henchman stallone son who seems to have been cast merely so the stallone name can be included in the film's br br apart from watching the try to their way through the with the aid of a drawn map and repetitive shots of them being followed or by a pale faced young girl not much else goes on throughout dialogue switches between english and russian with actors frequently taking turns in each language and entire conversations are half in one and half in the other with the only apparent reason being they felt like it adding a frustrating dimension for the viewer over and above trying to figure out the together story br br about the only thing zero gets right however is its title which could only have rendered a more accurate description of this movie if the word had been,negative +i agree with vince this movie the way for the scene where was throwing at the piano player reminded me of his how am i funny routine in this is a highly underrated film and deserves some attention as with many other mob films the theme of the death collector rings true always respect the don,positive +he plays straight but with a quiet intensity that makes him one of the top cops in movie history roy stars in a poor man's french connection that has a little of the same gritty appeal is a better movie but i prefer watching this one because 1 i think is great and this is his best movie and 2 this has the best car chase ever one that makes look like a cable production thanks again to bill who actually plays the driver it doesn't hurt that tony stops by again to play a baddie please enjoy,positive +i have always had this morbid curiosity when it comes to bad and movies i also have always enjoyed so bad it's good flicks you're looking at someone who actually liked recent cheese filled kid flicks like and thunderbirds 2004 br br so i watched this and it turned out that all the critics are right about this one it's a major flop but unlike a lot of it isn't even enjoyable on any level not even just to make fun of it's just one boring cringe fest after another all the way through br br i had been warned i didn't listen i am a fool br br don't be a fool don't waste time and money on this pile of trash,negative +out to sea is a fun movie starring that wonderful duo of jack lemmon and walter matthau this film is not quite as funny as their grumpy old men comedies which it strongly resembles but there are many laughs throughout lemmon and matthau play a couple of in laws who take a cruise together once they get on the boat the thing lemmon doesn't know is that matthau has signed them on as dance so they don't have to pay for the cruise this lemmon who's in no mood to dance what's worse matthau doesn't even know how to dance nevertheless they go along with it and it the process they meet some of their fellow passengers and crew members here are the crew members there's the cruise director played to the by star trek the next generation veteran brent who acts like an evil dictator there's two fellow dance played by barney miller star hal and veteran movie musical star donald there's the owner mrs played by golden girl as for the passengers there's vivian a widow played by gloria de who falls in love with lemmon there's liz played by one of my all time favorite actresses cannon who falls in love with matthau there's mother played by veteran stage actress and they meet others as well all these actors are a pleasure to watch as lemmon and matthau play off of them it's great to see cannon here beautiful as ever is a hoot is a funny comic villain who's plays it deadly straight de is wonderful and have a good moment or two and finally the two main stars lemmon and matthau are fine as usual a nice little gem of a comedy br br out of four,positive +there are many distinct problems with the movie for one there are way too many the husband is a hunter and just happens to be hunting on the day that the main killer shows up with someone the killer knows okay i will take that one the kid calls the real estate agency that the wife works for and asks for money to be ready when he comes to get it okay i will take that one as well before he goes to get the cash he decided to rob our killer who doesn't kill him but decided to go with him on the job it's starting to get real weak then they show up on the same day that the husband has an interview with his wives boss no one is there but the wife and the husband who has decided to make his way into the empty office they make their way into the office and the professional killer just assumes that they are talking to the right guy that is just in the first 15 br br there are a lot more holes in this movie then i care to talk about why the killer didn't just kill everyone at the real estate agency i don't know why he didn't shoot the woman on her i don't know why he kept letting that dumb kid make all those stupid moves and mess a whole lot of crap up i don't know why the girlfriend was even in the movie i don't know why he decided not to pocket the gun and just leave it out on the counter i don't know why they even went into the witness protection program i don't know what i do know is that the casting director did a great job the director of photography did very good work the location picked great locations and the production designer was worth every penny so my advice for anyone that is going to pick a script that is going to be so well worked by the crew make sure that every attempt to kill someone by the hit man is not by a peak through an open window,negative +why on earth does five us keep repeating this one the title actually says it all the plot is as clear as a book read in a language you never heard of and that resembles to nothing br br you'll see ninety minutes of changing locations most of them will be blown up later on in the movie right in the beginning you see a nice little farm typical for the which is in the movie moved close to paris but then it does not survive the transport to the de france very well it explodes 1 minute later there are also two gangster who have no as if that would make sense in the world of and internet let alone and paper br br it just goes on like that nothing makes sense in this story my only credit goes to the cameraman the camera is excellent,negative +i usually seek to find good in movies even the bad ones unfortunately this movie is one where i fail miserably and the fact that there's barely one positive review on this board shows many imdb reviewers share my pain br br i don't usually watch sequels but i just had to see this since i love rosemary's baby so much what a mistake that was it simply my belief in the fact that most sequels are lousy though thankfully very few are as bad as this in fact in my mind this isn't even really a sequel it's a satire on how bad a sequel can be movie recommended very highly for not viewing at any time ever,negative +the only reason i am giving a second star is for the first half of the movie this was a good rendition of the story i enjoy seeing a few fictional characters added to add some color to a well known story but the second half was horrible yes there were violent aspects of this story but the writers of this movie chose to only include the violence and forget about the good things god did for the towards the end of the movie scott looked as though he were getting messages from the big giant head instead of talking and hearing from god this rendition had some huge problems with from and big surprise there are no their portrayal of as this screaming naked lunatic who did all of this against his will is totally false it showed a who had to scream in order to get god to talk to him wrong the says god spoke to all the time and not just after a temper they got the people's complaining right but failed to show that god spoke to at in an voice that the followers could hear and believe chapter 19 they also forgot the of fire and cloud which guided them in the day and night br br what was the whole joshua thing the righteous peace loving jew who would not fight until threatens him wrong he was known as a great warrior what about the great speech that gave the army telling them god had helped them enough and now they were on their own wrong they only won through god's help as shown in their own scenes with his staff and what was that sorry looking of the instead of it with gold this movie was on a tight budget and attached little gold to it oh yeah it was a not a straw one with little tacked on someone forgot that they came out of egypt with a huge amount of gold tribute from the you wouldn't know it from this sorry looking bunch br br by the way the part about them the after the golden incident says men and does not mention women and children which the movie delighted in showing the viewers oh yeah wasn't the only thing sent from heaven don't forget the birds for meat also the bible mentions bringing his wife and children and then says went back to his own land it does not say that gave up his family br br oh well if you know nothing about the real story read for yourself if you know the real story you will hate this version,negative +sean bean returns as hero richard in honour the fifth movie in the series and as always patrick and the rest of chosen men are all along for the ride but this time major is in serious trouble br br under the influence of enemy major a mysterious lady by the name of la has accused of rape her husband arrives at camp to challenge his wife's to a br br the is discovered and stopped by the authorities and as a result becomes the prime suspect when his is murdered in the middle of the night br br as no one in the british army other than and major consider anything but a rough with little or no honour he his given a trial and is sentenced to death by hanging and and the chosen men have no choice but to look on as their beloved commander walks slowly to the br br however convinced of his innocence and hang another convicted prisoner in and release him and his chosen men to find the real killer and la herself to not only prove his innocence but to find out her reasons for framing him in the first place br br micheal and hugh co star with brilliant performances by alice as la and as the villainous major in what is another exciting through journey through the wars,positive +man with the screaming brain certainly isn't a perfect movie but i'm pretty sure it was never meant to be anything more than a star vehicle for bruce campbell meaning it works as kind of a summary of his entire career slapstick sarcasm cheese action and happy endings campbell is as a writer uneven there are lots of things in the story that don't make a great deal of sense why does the robot suddenly have breasts merely because a female brain has been into it and some of the scenes feel like of other better the scene in the restaurant where and william battle for control of body is straight out of evil dead ii there are however lots of little touches and non that feel rather brilliant such as when william is in the height of his panic and screams at a statue what are you looking at the movie looks like a sci fi channel original probably because it was the acting is actually pretty good i particularly enjoyed as she was ruthless and cunning yes but seemed to have a tragic air about her in certain moments that the story never explored ted handled the standard bumbling assistant role admirably enough and bruce is funny as the arrogant condescending american jerk now that he's writing his own films you'd think he'd give himself a role that he hasn't been in already man with the screaming brain is a bizarre nonsensical b movie that ought to be enjoyable for anybody who can avoid taking a cinematic experience too seriously,positive +oh my gosh this was the first movie broken lizard made as a group although it just recently came to video and i have never been more disappointed in my entire life i tell you what if i had seen this movie before i saw super troopers which by the way is a kick a movie i never ever would have watched it i had read several reviews online as well as on the cover of the dvd that it as being broken funniest movie ever now if they were referring to super troopers as being their funniest movie ever i would agree but not this one talk about dry it took the movie a good 45 minutes to even get going and by then i was so out of the mood to watch it that it wasn't even worth it maybe you gotta be high for it to really be funny i i love these guys i really do but that movie is by far the worst one they've made club dread was a pretty good movie but this one just wow i'd highly recommend super troopers if you want a good laugh but if you want more of a romance drama with a few funny spots i'd say go with just my opinion though everyone is entitled to their own,negative +i've seen every episode and the characters have all remained the same self absorbed little thought out there's no character development in 5 years getting pregnant is not development if your still the same girl only now to danny because dad isn't around sam never changes or grows which makes her boring repetitive and just so annoying its sickening after season 3 danny is a typical soft character that gets ordered about by everyone in his life he has no principals morals of his own especially mary and the old boring cliché will they wont they on and off relationship does get boring very fast indeed br br james can act and his character is ok to watch only he is just another hack writers wet dream an ex cia man that has huge contacts and training etc so he can stop any thief or known to man even though the cameras cant do half the stuff they make out its fun for a while however in 5 years the writers act very dumb why because they have all this expensive and advanced technology but no simple is fast and easy you never see security walking the floor only when there's a situation and suddenly everyone is just there br br the plots very quickly move from the cheating and robbing the casino in one way or another to awful typical american boy girl relation ships the same done to death material seen all over the world they have sex but i hate you i've always loved you i think i do but i love her him instead but what if maybe one day blah blah blah br br i'd recommend to people who like las vegas it has so much more going for it simply because the characters are interesting engaging and not forced down our throat for 6 months of the year br br i'm glad to be british – i'd rather see the same actors in 5 different shows rather than 5 years consistently getting worst in the same one,negative +if you really really really enjoy movies featuring ants building dirt mirrors eating non ants and the world with a voice over narrative then this is the movie for you basically a couple of scientists working out of a bio communicate with highly intelligent ants the most intelligent actors in this film in an attempt to try to their plans of conquest and throughout the movie the two scientists and a girl they rescued from the ants use everything at their computers green and horrid acting but to no i guess they just couldn't afford any because the movie would be over too quickly br br the title of the movie phase iv is something of a mystery this is not a spoiler but phase i starts right after the opening credits whereas you don't reach phase iv until the end credits roll apparently the director knew the movie would be tedious to get through and so placed 1 3 throughout the movie as a kind of progress report hang in there buddy only 1 more phase until final credits as a mst3k episode this one wasn't very good for two reasons 1 this one is from the season 0 on when they were first starting out so the is not as good as in later seasons and 2 this movie is so bad not even j can it up there are one or two gamera references as they had just finished 5 gamera movies br br the movie does have a trick surprise ending but i was so glad to reach the end the effect was lost on me,negative +talk about this thing is brutal horrible voice dubbing even more horrible acting and no discernible plot apparently there are some great chase scenes but the problem is you have to get to that point first and i just couldn't the 20 or so minutes i endured felt more like a root than a movie i suppose i could have fast it and i recommend you do the same unless you have very extreme pain tolerance or your a i don't fall into either category i still have a from this thing so i'm about to perform some dental surgery without just the bottom line horrendous 0 10,negative +i could not believe it this film was a total of time out of my life the title is appropriate love didn't beat the hell out of me this film did i kept watching and watching and waiting and waiting and hoping for something anything to happen and nothing ever happened nothing howard couldn't even save this lame piece of work called a film it was dark and confused and i didn't get who killed the girlfriend in the end the tone and pacing of the film was supposed to be building to a dramatic climactic ending this only served to confuse the audience because the movie just along going no where if you want pure torture watch this film,negative +this was a very funny fast paced movie i watched it more than once and am keeping my rental around to show others i'd just like to take this opportunity to ask anyone in the know how do hk producers choose their i'm most curious please direct me br br again to return to review it is a really film with plenty of content subtleties reminiscent of the classics though full of slapstick reminiscent say of the mexican comedies of br br the film does not disappoint fans of the director who have noticed that he chooses distinctly chinese themes trying to get to characteristics rarely explored the director's entire collection is way of getting a look inside the culture in a way br br and i don't see how his funny girl in chinese feast could be topped,positive +i saw this black and white comedy noir yesterday at the london film festival it has been compared to pulp fiction but it is perhaps closer to the structure of and the mood of kevin smith's four stories at a french diner the first has a hold up at the diner the waitress anna takes pity and tell him her story the second has two incompetent leon and paul take a teenage girl from her rich family unfortunately for them she is and her family don't appear to want her back the third is a dialogue between two rock stars who into each other at the diner and playing themselves the final part is about four ex criminals who their old partner out of hospital to visit their old which has since been turned into … the diner an returns to and to complete their story not really an more a conclusion br br the structure does not really work the stories are not as in pulp fiction nor is the diner crucial to the action to at least two of the stories in the way the car crash was crucial in the four stories of the quality of the individual stories the story is a cute idea with a couple of good gags but does not come off and the rock star reunion is pointless and dull on the other hand the kidnap story is hilarious although its connection to the diner is the most balanced and successful story is the and one br br this film isn't entirely successful but has moments of interest and hilarity i look forward to seeing more of writer director's samuel work,positive +animated shorts just don't get much better than this wonderful canadian film this short feature is dripping with canadian references and so this film will probably be appreciated by most of all but the basic story is universal and it is told lovingly by writer it is a hilarious story that i have known for quite sometime and i was recently fortunate enough to see it again so i simply had to write a recommendation for it this is a masterpiece and a must see whether or not you are canadian,positive +where the rivers flow north is a well told story about two fight to live their own lives in the face of progress and development besides enjoying the movie as entertainment i also learned quite a bit about life in rural new england back in the late 1920s br br the cinematography captured the raw beauty of northern and set the stage while the music brought the movie to life very well done for a low budget produced film i found michael j character the weakest in the film but rip torn and turn in two of the finest performances i've seen in a long time i was she did not get a nod as best actress that year i assume the film was too small a film to be considered,positive +having watched this film years ago it never faded from my memory i always thought this was the finest performance by michelle pfeiffer that i've seen but i am by the number of negative reviews that this film has received after seeing it once more today i still think it is powerful moving and couldn't care less if it is based loosely on king br br i now realize that this is the greatest performance by jessica lange that i've ever seen and she has had for much efforts br br a thousand is complex human vibrant and immensely moving but surely doesn't present either of the primary female leads with any touch of or i don't think this is well received in these times br br perhaps one reason for this film's response lies in the fact that the writer jane screenplay laura jones and director are all women i know that in my younger days i wouldn't have read a book written by a woman i didn't focus on this fact until years later br br if you haven't seen this movie or gave it a chance in the past try watching it maybe you are ready for it,positive +it's funny your worst nightmare always seems so far away br br dark characters a married couple alan polly hunter and a norman are into a game full of hidden sexual energy and now and then breaks increase the tensions and give much space for interpretations good acting and a story which if not using the brain will leave you in confusion you have to watch it twice at least the very strength lies in its and in alan of course those who love him will love this movie br br conclusion it is not a typical prime time movie but well done,positive +this was the very first movie i ever saw in the theatre by myself i was 7 years old and to this day it is one of my favorite movies it's pure smarmy cheese the cartoon was towards young girls selling dolls with soft bodies and big plastic heads one for every colour of the with their own special animals and even a talking horse typical of the time period each show was about how hope and magic can make all br br the movie concerns the coming of spring when all the light and colour returns to the world but this time it just isn't happening for our lovely hero a spoiled princess plots to the soul and implied life of the universe which happens to be a giant diamond for her own purposes with no regard for reality and now and her newly found friends and chris must save the universe as i said before it's cheesy but it's cute and it's exactly like all of the other cartoons from that time period like the movies rose and the all movies created to sell dolls to kids and it works,positive +race against fear has to be one of the most moving tv movies i've seen for a long time all of the performances from the main actors were superb especially that of richards mickey william coach kurt and susan margaret in particular put on an extremely emotional performance with facial expressions to match she portrayed the emotions that mickey was feeling perfectly and you could easily believe that she really had been raped so realistic was her performance br br is an incredibly realistic movie due to the moving performances from the cast came across as a rapist incredibly well and you hated him more and more as the movie progressed also put on an emotional performance as the mother of the raped girl mickey and you felt increasingly sorry for the family because no one believed them about the rape br br all in all is a great movie it is both moving and full of suspense as you are continually unsure if would be for the rape due to the lack of witnesses evidence and belief in the claim i thoroughly recommend seeing this movie,positive +this was an interesting movie i could have done without the bathroom scene and the seduction scene other than that i loved the head music this movie around chris parents are awesome they totally support their sons interests and believe in him enough to support him now that is awesome what really surprised me was the realization at the end it was not quite the hollywood ending on his road to self discovery the overall rise to stardom and the fall of it was quite a roller coaster ride,positive +this film is really quite odd clearly certain events portrayed identify the main protagonist as the criminal known as the general but almost everything else is just wrong we are not talking of a of ancient history but a complete of documented facts the question indeed is why the are shown as latter day cops his gang as non menacing and the man himself as well kevin spacey almost pure fiction anyway why bother to try to give a semblance of realism having said all that it is a poor exercise any way you want to look at it not worth a second of anyone's time,negative +the action scenes was quite good but the plot of the movie i would have to give it a score of 1 out of 10 it seems that the producers and director of this movie didn't thought about it carefully br br it doesn't give much value and values to it's viewers except for it's violence the entire story was about revenge a boy witnessing a rape and murder i would even recommend it to be banned those who watched it you've just lose some money if you're thinking of watching it watch something else i would ask for a if i was on a movie theater so for you guys and girls out there reading this article please don't waste time,negative +basic summary used to be a community of witches and escaped the witch by a of the first born males from these families have supernatural powers and must come to terms with the seductive nature of using those powers br br well i usually give movies the benefit of the doubt and start from a 5 going from there br br production 1 for very obvious audio out of sync 1 for nicely done special effects the actually gave me chills 0 5 for nice i like the dull blue 0 5 for the stupid sound track 0 5 for the opening sequence i'm a sucker for stylish and flashy title design br br story script 1 for decent main idea 0 5 for matrix street fighter ripoff 1 for not explaining some plot threads very well 1 for boring predictable ending 1 for gratuitous exposition both as words on the screen and as bland br br acting characterization 0 5 for bad bad acting although it gets a little better as the film progresses 1 for lack of character development especially among all the females br br other 1 for gratuitous male and female nudity which is fun to watch and 0 5 for no sex scenes which for this genre are usually done very badly and end up being boring rather than hot 1 for hitting its target audience teenage sci fi horror thriller fans even though this movie is not exclusively any of those genres br br conclusion this is not a film this is a movie there's really nothing to analyze it's just good relatively clean fun lots of really attractive actors and actresses lots of boys fighting in the style of and street fighter if you like cute actors and actresses supernatural special effects and or fun plots this movie is for you if you prefer oscar worthy produced film masterpieces with tons of multi layered plot threads and groundbreaking techniques you probably won't like this film br br using my twisted logic this movie gets a 4 10,negative +i watched the 1st scarecrow movie and didn't bag out that one though i knew it was b grade it actually had some decent gore and the guy playing the scarecrow was an awesome and had some good skills going the effects were better and the costume looked better then this movie br br i borrowed this one with an open mind i am also a fan of ken former and was hoping it was a decent movie br br boy was i wrong the movie sucked the monster was pathetic in both appearance and in actually being scary the storyline was so predictable it was like watching the movie in preview mode as i already would guess what will happen the music was so bad with a horrible lip sync song that made me wanna punch the screen br br overall avoid this crappy movie br br save some money,negative +delivers great acting and greater special effects stars david one of my personal favorites as it's special effects on the monsters were so good you thought they might be really clive barker however demented scored a perfect 10 on my list,positive +this is horrible even for a tv movie i can't believe it took three people to write this movie i am not familiar with the novel on which this film was based but it has got to be better than this i'd rather watch a full house marathon than this stupid movie i gave it 2 out of 10 stars only because it was made better by commercials,negative +if you love japanese monster movies you'll love this action packed battle an alien intent upon the earth and a giant robot with an of super the alien from the planet has a army of thugs called of course the gang as well as an endless supply of immense hostile creatures that are upon the earth to smash buildings make loud noises panic the etc a little kid named johnny has the giant robot at his call and sends the robot as needed to beat up and then blast these creatures johnny joins a group of good spies called and to help save the world br br in spite of the campy nature unintentionally humorous dialog and the fact that the target audience was obviously children this movie has non stop action colorful characters decent special effects and just happens to be downright fun to watch battle scenes are well executed and frequent as the storyline requires the good guys and bad guys both made sure they had an supply of bombs and schemes to attack each other in spite of the fact the movie was constructed from edited episodes of a tv series the plot actually develops and reaches an ultimate conclusion br br the film has a positive and appeals to everyone's especially kids' desire to destroy evil in its many forms kids may be the target audience but it's fun for everyone to laugh at its comical silliness yet at the same time root for the good guys to and save the world the acting is cheesy in places but that is the charm there are several lines of corny dialog possibly translation errors or possibly intentional jokes by the movie makers and you'll find yourself these absurd lines later br br admittedly this film is not high in production quality or budget however for what it is campy sci fi it's enjoyable for some laughs i recommend it to anyone with a sense of humor for that sort of thing,positive +this is one of the most horrible movies i've seen for awhile i had to wonder if john davies was just bored and wanted a distraction to do this movie looked like a cross between the from land of the lost and the creature from the black additionally they should have used someone who was a bit smaller as the of legend is much smaller all in all however the movie was bad it was funny why couldn't bullets and stop the but the kick boxing daughter do ok watch if you are sick at home or feeling down and need a good laugh,negative +and is the kind of film that makes you realize that the drama of life is hidden in the details and that drama can be great fun too even though your own love life and your own friends may not be as unique as the characters in this movie every one is bound to recognize themselves and others in the colorful protagonists of this film and that's the great strength of and that the irony of life is that the most confusing things that happen to you can be the most interesting hilarious funny sexy things too hope you'll enjoy the film as much as i have,positive +based on the book space vampires by colin wilson this is in my humble opinion one of the best pieces of sci fi horror to come out of the eighties the effects done by still hold up by todays standards the actors are mostly british and being british seem to give this film a greater depth of realism br br the film was by the critics and sadly failed to do well at the box office on both sides of the atlantic tobe hooper blamed the work that was done before its release as the main cause for it's low but for whatever reason it still does not detract from the fact that this is an excellent film with a great cast and well paced plot br br not to be over looked,positive +the film successfully gives a graphic portrayal of the suffering of forced sex but nothing more the agenda behind this movie could be seen a mile away and leaves viewer so embarrassed while watching if you know that feeling so the women are kidnapped and sent to ex territory to work as sex slaves because take a deep breath the american military institution is corrupt and looks away while their private security are selling people abroad you don't need half a brain to see the relevance to iraq war and black water company br br what a load of looks like i have been fooled all my life into thinking that this problem and many others were a direct result of grip on this region for 45 years but no it was the american war on iraq which is also responsible for and the i had last week br br the film ignores the fact that 95 of the sex trade is women willing to sell their bodies for money and entry to the western block you also see scenes that are so stupid you want to pull your hair we have someone chasing down a woman in the streets of london in broad daylight beat her up then somehow drags her unconscious body half a mile back to the apartment where he rapes her no one sees this or calls the police and the running woman does not care to scream during the chase even better we later see 4 5 women up in the centre of london in again broad daylight to be sold one of them has a face and people are shopping in the background as if nothing was happening you can't make this stupidity up br br i used to think that such trash was to hollywood but apparently i was mistaken,negative +whoever plays the part of j douglas in the strip poker scene does a wonderful job he apparently received no credits too bad br br all the dead end kids do their jobs beautifully in this 1939 entry it is odd to watch them in a western setting with their brooklyn accents i guess that should be they even show some swimming abilities br br i think there are many special scenes that can stay with the viewer of this boxing love crime story my favorite right now is in the fight scene near the end of the film busby berkeley shows his dance movie expertise when john garfield shifts his feet and as we watch that move the camera moves up to his face i will not give away why or when but the look on his face at that point probably brought the 1939 audience to its feet in the theaters br br some will think john garfield looks a lot like frank sinatra in many scenes just his face actually frank was not yet making movies so maybe frank looked like john the boxer named smith in the movie looks like a clone of ed jr br br now i must tell you something that is not a spoiler but if you watch the movie watch hands may does her part well she seems to have hands that wander a bit in a scene where she and a crowd go into the john garfield dressing room watch where she touches the john garfield while he is wearing only his br br a great ending lots of wonderful characters br br best line might be at the gas station eight that's a dollar twenty eight tom,positive +gamera vs was made and much of it suffers as a result br br space aliens try to take over earth and are stopped by gamera so they send another ship that manages to kidnap two young boys the aliens then take control of gamera and get him to attack mankind br br first of all i must say that i really enjoyed the monster fight at the end between gamera and looks like a big with a he has no energy and does not shoot any out but he can close the on top of his head to make a sharp so overall this is not a bad monster for gamera to fight and is decent really gamera badly by stabbing his of his shell with his head and i am surprised gamera was able to survive this br br unfortunately gamera vs decided to use footage from previous gamera films to fill time for this film they re show the battles between gamera and and gamera and when the aliens look at past battles however when they show battles with they show the battle between gamera and in the city first then they show the final battle between the two after they show re used footage of the final battle between gamera and they show the first battle between gamera and talk about showing the battles in non order they did not even need to show the first battle they should have just stopped after they showed the final battle between the two br br another issue is that they decide to re show footage of gamera attacking cities when the aliens order him to attack tokyo so they show the scene from gamera vs where he destroys the after the show scenes from gamera the which is a huge issue for me mainly due to the fact that gamera the was in black and white using stock footage from a black and white film in a color film is really lazy and that is not a good thing br br also the dubbing is bad once again the two little kids are not that annoying but it would be nice to see a gamera film that did not involve little kids br br so the over use of footage from other gamera films is a to this film the final fight is awesome so basically i recommend skipping to the final ten minutes and watching this film the rest is something that has already been seen before,negative +a big waste of time is all you'll get out of this bag i rented this hoping for a suspenseful movie with maybe a few believable scenes but boy was i ever i think the title should've been camping 101 or something to that effect well anyway stay the hell away from this film it you to death don't be afraid of big foot be afraid of this crap,negative +winning 26 out of the 28 awards it was nominated for there is no doubt that this film will stand as one of the best of 2007 the fact that it was made with non professionals who were trained to act and dance makes it that much more special br br it is not a bollywood production but it is about art a lower girl wants to sing and dance she wants to move up in society but there is a limit everyone cannot be president in india there is a system and the narrow minds will not allow it to be br br school at 15 and goes to work for the who was once an accomplished dancer after some time working the animals she is taught to sing and dance the film is strikingly beautiful with rich color it is amazing what can be done with 20 000 as this film was a project for the writer director br br the son returns from america to run for office and is struck by the girl but she is lower and can only be a for his lust things are no better at home as her father drinks and eats and steals her money she ends up pregnant and has to sell the baby to the br br in the end she never rises above her but the story was fascinating and the acting was really good,positive +daniel dirty war a bbc production made for television was shown recently on cable the film has a documentary style in the way it goes after the people that caused the near holocaust in one of the big metropolis of the world london in fact this film produced in 2004 is almost a tale of the events of the following year in which terrorists set explosive devices in the public transport that killed innocent people that were in the wrong place at the wrong time br br the film for the pace the director and the production team gave to the project there are no dull moments in the movie as we watch the by the terrorists and the people that are following their dirty work although the inevitable happens it's amazing just to think what would be the consequences if a real was planted in such a populated area br br the last images of the film have a chilling effect the mob scenes and the way the whole area is send of fear thinking how it could possible happen anywhere,positive +that got destroyed quickly by the poor quality acting cinematography numerous pointless scenes and a terrible villain well let's see joe is bad as usual but he isn't the only casting problem writer vivian is no great actress in fact well she sucks her script isn't so bad it's just bad directed in fact if the direction had been better and if better actors had been cast this could have been a really good film br br but alas with all of these problems fails to be even kind of passable as a horror movie plus the pacing is just awful too br br the crew had some fun with this one but it definitely wasn't one of their better efforts 5 for that nothing for the original,negative +i first encountered arthur four friends late one night on hbo having never heard of it i expected very little but watched because i was interested in seeing what a creation by a of penn and screenwriter steve would be like for the next two hours or so i sat watching this incredible of talent and the story they a semi tale of a young immigrant to america growing up amidst the of the 1960s four friends follows the story of an eastern european immigrant the brilliant craig from his arrival in the united states through a decade that changed the american landscape accompanying on his journey are his friends georgia the in a role that sadly she has never had the opportunity to equal tom jim and david michael four friends covers way too much territory for me to attempt to explain it here but if you haven't seen this film i urge you to find a copy it's just been released on dvd and watch it you won't be disappointed script is wonderfully poignant — at times funny at times incredibly sad but always fascinating and honest penn directs with a sure hand and an obvious love for the period and the people whose lives we're following the cast is uniformly superb this film should have made a major star out of who is truly one of this country's most wasted talents not your standard brainless hollywood up the screen in a performance that makes the audience fall in love with her character as easily as the characters in the film and subtle performances could easily be overlooked in the shadow of their co stars but they are excellent and help anchor the film also superb are simon and elizabeth lawrence as parents as well as reed and lois smith i have not been without a copy of four friends since the day after i first saw it on hbo those many years ago it has been and remains one of my all time favorite films for more than 20 years now i can't recommend it enough and feel if you give it a chance you'll feel the same way,positive +director and co writer didn't make things easy for viewers of his taut a bit overlong but very disturbing story accurately based on a spanish man's struggle to obtain suicide the sea inside is gripping and its impact far the time spent in the theater br br with the award winning canadian movie the barbarian folks got to see a family along with a of devoted friends address the wish of a beloved albeit man to end his life in that movie the center of attention suffered from cancer and his descent into a stage was fast emotional as the scenes were death was inevitable the question was how gentle could it be made through br br brilliantly played by is a different story for well over two decades he's been a because of a diving accident very sharp viewers may a terrible irony as to why he ended in that condition because of his dive once a world and lover of beautiful women he now lies trapped in an body his every need attended to by a truly devoted family who willingly surrender much of their and time to sustain their beloved relation br br lola a single mom of two small boys enters the household out of what might have been mere curiosity to learn about the man's plight but she becomes both an emotionally supportive for as well as an amusing but occasionally presence a nice performance by br br the problem of course is that isn't sick in the normal sense he may well live for decades more with proper care so his but voiced desire to end his life with dignity creates a moral dilemma for friends and relatives who not surprisingly react from different and religious perspectives br br is the poster of a group dedicated to changing laws concerning suicide death with dignity is their gene clara is a sensitive who the aid of pro julia julia has her own health issues which carry an but happily married to a devoted she bonds emotionally with her client br br what follows is an sensitive interplay of values and emotions lives with his brother and wife their teenage son not the intellectual is and his aged dad who can't stop over his son's descent into absolute br br the moral and legal issues are played out through excellent acting and short vignettes including a courtroom scene in which over any interpretation that might take into account feelings and views it may be spain but the issues are alive in most countries including the u s br br especially amusing is a first floor to bedroom debate between with a drop in priest also a but one whose dogma casually masks the absence of a soul br br special kudos to mabel sister in law for a authentic portrayal of a strong woman who holds the family together and the same compliment to julia who from objective to close friend to a woman towards a dark fate br br the director no value allowing each character full range to express his or her feelings effectively and at times like dead man walking this movie can support any view about its deadly subject br br no one can stop a person from committing suicide if he she is determined but the universal tragedy of the world's is that without assistance life in a body in which only the heart beats and only the head can move is a sentence no court could on the most of criminals br br the cinematography is well matched to the story and the beautiful scenes are an intended contrast to the limited views the once globe experiences from his special bed br br 9 10,positive +is where i'm assuming this movie came from i mean i've watched plenty of b movies over the course of my young life so far and i wouldn't even this as a b movie i remember seeing films in my high school mass media class that this one br br so the premise is a bunch of dancing numbers and goofy crap happens women in who aren't even that great looking to begin with dance in the beginning and sing guys with hairy show up and girls with who are out in the i mean i can barely put together a cohesive sentence just thinking about this movie according to most people on this site the hands of fate and people are the worst movies mst3k classics d i used to be one of them then i saw this movie usually i don't try to trash a movie too much but the people who made this really do deserve it it is that bad and that unbearable and i'm assuming the director or an actor in the movie is the only person who rated this a ten,negative +this is not great cinema the film is cliche ridden and in many places it is a copy of the original carrie the parallels with the original film are striking but with an added about the powers being br br i can't say that i disliked the film because it at least passed a couple of hours but these were passed as one would read an book on a long train journey that book would not be great literature but would one for a while and be forgotten soon afterwards in that it would blend in with the numerous other cliche ridden books likewise the film was okay whilst it lasted but is perhaps forgettable at least i think it is i cant remember much about it now,negative +i cant believe there are people out there that did not like this movie i thought it was the funniest movie i had ever seen it my have been b c i am mel brooks biggest fan i know almost all the words and get very when they them when it is played on a family channel this is one of my favorite movies so i dont know why any one would disagree thanks,positive +troma lloyd kaufman is the in this anthology film made up of two films that were such celluloid that tried to salvage them by combining the two into one anthology film and throwing in amounts of nudity whenever possible does it work nope it's still crap that i'd have to off my boots if i stepped in it will anyone like this mess sure young teen aged with the combined of a vienna have to laugh at something i guess for those who have brains that are even semi steer clear though and watch something less insulting to your intelligence even dude where's my car would do br br my grade f,negative +fate puts a pair of priceless items in hands and he gets kidnapped and taken to africa because of it this was my first ernest film so i can't compare it to his others but i thought it was fairly amusing good stuff if you like slapstick humor and plain old around,positive +well not much really to say about this but it is really good very good job from directing and the movie have good cast of acting movies plot is also believable and good so the good is main word in this case i just hope there would be more this kind scifi movies thats why this one s pointed out in the crowd i give it 8 5 of 10,positive +one of my favourite films whenever it is on although i do admit one time missing it when it was on last year br br despite the age of the film it doesn't look like that and the story even though it'd been done a thousand times before still felt entertaining there were one or two little for me in the story but i looked past them and just enjoyed the film for what it was br br overall i give it a 7 10,positive +an object lesson in how to make a bad movie which as horror without going in too close i would imagine this is the results of a bunch of film school students all adding bits to the story and then actually acting in it its like a film of some kind and its a film badly in need of an editor in which case it would have lasted 10 minutes the director of this garbage probably had more money than sense consider the number of scripts or even films which would have from this the so called who was killing people in some pretty stupid ways looked like christopher lloyd in back to the future or maybe the musicians johnny winter edgar winter it starts off with 20 minutes of crass boring nonsense out by the students something about paranoia giving this rubbish 1 is because it can't get any less it has not one single redeeming feature and when one of the girls thinks the body on the floor covered in blood is the guy about she has to actually taste the red stuff before she knows its not its an insult to the intelligence of an idiot,negative +college students who are actually in their late on campus in boston which looks strangely like the of man are by a fierce monster assembled during a blue peter episode the new teacher must save the day even though he is really oh who cares br br i'll start with the there is a nice shot of new gal samantha can in the obligatory campus shower scene with her best mate lawrence a bit of side trivia was hired when she arrived at with her sister just as moral support to her sibling but ended up landing a part oh joy picked from obscurity to flash her in a meaningless scene added for then getting killed 30 minutes in for her troubles her latest and only other credited role is as nurse 5 in i wonder if she a look at if extras and stars are allowed to mix and wondered where did it all go wrong br br i'll give a few hints if all the other british cast members are asked to speak with american accents in a doomed attempt at mass marketing and the only person who can manage it is the b movie veteran usa native todd you know you're in trouble if you look at your slip and it'll only just about cover your lunch and your bus ride home you ain't starring in a movie with a dollar budget if the premiere is attended by loads of family members of the fourth assistant director and of laughter when the tape monster through the it should dawn on you that this isn't exactly alien or even a iv come to think of it so in your next life i'm a you see perhaps you'll be a bit more in your choice of debut feature rather than jumping at the first pile of crap that heads your way flashing skin in your first movie does not guarantee long lasting success unless you're stallone and he had the script to rocky to back him up br br to all and purposes this is as 0 10 a movie as i've ever seen however for sheer unintentional laughs and pure camp value it gets a 1 well done,negative +this is a gem of a film slapstick violence a plenty simon pegg and green br br a suspicious looking power plant and an add to this br br if you haven't seen this i can highly recommend it maybe not quite as good as bottom but not far short br br if you have never seen a man by the nose on two then what are you waiting for buy this film br br i didn't even see the twist at the end coming when it turns out that ritchie and eddie are both ghosts br br 1 boiled egg,positive +i had read the newspaper reviews of this film and i must say my expectations were very low before watching 12 i really enjoyed the first movie but this is one of the worst movies ever i would rate it top 5 of the worst movie i have ever seen why do i say that first of all there is a story so thin that britney spears looks like the perfect action thriller the that could be assigned the term story is loosely held together at times but most of the time the movie just moves along with no purpose or drive the entire story seems forced and the script surrounding the story is even more forced that it become farce at times br br the actors show up but doesn't do anything to deserve any credit or most embarrassing are leading ladies roberts and zeta jones that either or are extremely plain damon clooney and pitt aren't brilliant either to be honest i really don't understand how they would want to be associated with something as bad as this movie br br may contains spoilers camera and editing sigh where should i begin there are many unnecessary camera movements that just make the experience painful combine that with extremely editing and you start looking for a wooden to your heart out especially the scene where the entire gang is moved out of the prison to be transported away by car the camera zoom to each person just get boring and when you are at number 3 of 12 you got the message wow you are cool and can do simple zoom effects not i understand that the scene with tess ocean julia roberts playing julia roberts is supposed to be funny but it just gets extremely embarrassing and you turn away to avoid experiencing the mess bruce willis why please explain it to me why br br to if you have to choose between root work and watching 12 i recommend the former make sure they do all the teeth while you are at it,negative +i went into night of the hunted not knowing what to expect at all i was really impressed br br it is essentially a mystery thriller where this girl who can't remember anything gets by a guy who happens to be driving past the two become fast friends and lovers and together they try to figure out what is going on with her through some vague flashbacks and grim memories they eventually get to the bottom of it and the ending is pretty cool br br i really liked the setting of this one a desolate post modern paris is the backdrop with lots of gray and tall buildings very soundtrack and lots of nudity br br surprising it was made in 1980 seems somewhat ahead of it's time br br 8 out of 10 kids,positive +who reads these comments may think we may have in hand a great movie i am portuguese and i'm ashamed that this film became a blockbuster in it can't really call this cinema the direction and en scene is basic even ron howard does better the script is bad and pretentious a really bad tarantino the cast is covered in tv stars models and reality show stars that don't no nothing about acting when you put in a movie this ingredients of course that the fans of this kind of tv shows will all go see i am also surprised that people who make comments here in imdb say that this movie is a masterpiece i thought that this site was only for people who truly like cinema and understand a little bit of it all the movies made to be blockbusters in always use the same ingredients and are always awful if you think this movie is reasonable please don't say your love movies and cinema,negative +this was very funny even if it fell apart a little at the end does not go overboard with homage after to hitchcock owen danny was lucky he had strangers on a train playing at the local cinema so the movie flat out tells you that that was the inspiration br br is very funny but also a little sad he has no friends and all he wants to do is write and have someone like his writing his teacher billy crystal is going through some serious writers block of his own and his wife has stolen his book and made it her own success which also has him frustrated a great deal br br best parts are the book by mr one hundred girls i'd like to and all scenes with anne who is so horrible that even mother would have wanted to kill her too,positive +for those of you unfamiliar with he is of course the definitive scrooge of all them christmas carol movies me i guess i'm really bad i haven't actually seen the darn thing i guess those who have seen christmas carol and so used to his character might find the of st rather surprising you see in this movie has two roles one he plays a heavy better and in the other he's in drag as a for a private girl's school so once you get that through your thick skull this movie offers plenty of the plot is deals with the way the school tries to make some desperately needed money through a horse race it's actually a little more complicated for the small kids to handle but i think they would be with their antics and with the horses to really notice the adults too might get over all the thick accents being thrown around as well but again the story is reasonably light the action crazy and frenetic for one to really notice ps the kids all look like they come from the school of,positive +ok i admit that i still associate sophie with la that was the main reason i went to see this film but it was so boring that i nearly felt asleep sorry but her talents as actress are not very convincing furthermore this film was presented as having outstanding special effects and cgi yeah for a b movie it is not that bad after having seen her in some years ago also a very crappy film i thought that she would play more convincingly but la and may be the james bond the world is not enough seem to be the only good films with her is it her talent does she have a bad taste when choosing her films or simply bad luck,negative +for every fan of coming of age tales this 3 hour adaptation of the br br sarah waters novel is pure fun cinematic to br br style as well as to all those and proper period pieces br br ever present on the bbc where you're likely to have seen almost br br every prominent member of this cast it's rather and over br br the top in spots but that's just what the novel called for the cast br br is appealing and in the cases of anna and hugh br br perfect in the case of rachel sterling as our heroine br br you simply must overlook the fact that she's far too pretty to br br ever be mistaken for a boy and run with it it's a fantasy after all br br some fans of the novel may be put out by the various changes in br br character particularly that of character but br br the changes all work toward the greater good of this and br br provide an overall high quality entertainment value,positive +i believe that this is a heart film richard directed the top film superman had done a great job directing this film some of the were good and several were horrible because bobby was by the king baldwin and especially their dog attacked the king which meant that he paid for what he had done to bobby br br wood portrayed a good role in this film the memorable scene in this he that he took the advice about bobby being pre soprano had portrayed an role br br i give this film out of four,positive +i've heard a lot about the inventive camera work and direction in this movie i thought both were a mess br br also some truly terrible acting the main in the movie is irritating beyond belief and has absolutely nothing useful to contribute in any situation everything she does or says is stupid and she generally just seems to mess peoples lives up if she could fight i might forgive her br br overall all the women in this movie are stereotypical in need of a man to save them and all the men in this movie are muscle bound dim wits capable of saving no one br br this is a poor movie and i urge you to avoid it watch something like 'the sword of instead i hear its much better than this confusing mess of a film,negative +on top of the fact that is a complete bag and his cons are unimaginative his schemes require way to much to make any of his worth while without giving away any spoilers as if it matters with this piece of crap his cons are such a because it takes the effort of days and days of planning and the use of multiple and an entire camera crew etc just to someone into a service that would cost less than a hundred bucks in addition if you read in the credits they re stage some of the phone calls etc because they don't pan out the whole concept of this show is because all of his cons have the cost in both the crew and the effort of ten times the actual cost of the service he is trying to get for free what is the con,negative +great artists always suffered while they were young i could mention and but that is not the point br br this movie was made by h g whose family wanted him to succeed in the law br br its main star is louis who studied and as as before becoming the greatest actor and also director of theater before and after wwii br br they both had health problems had while young had problems and died on a theater br br such events shape the character of men and women of course one might even say that today's artists are so poor because they had never suffered and fought for their lives br br to me this is the greatest of movies of fear is greater in suspense also has more suspense and a better plot and is more about female evil br br des is more human was accused by de mostly and jews of collaboration with the nazis and banned from making films until until de left government in early 1946 de came back in 1958 as president br br the main characters are all good souls jenny may perform as a on stage but she is not a whore make of those words but they are not the same loves her husband and refuses the slight advances from her presumably lesbian friend the photographer br br maurice the husband is jealous and but runs away from the scene of the crime he is a coward because he fell in love with a woman and an eventually more career for love br br the detective interpreted by the great louis basically a stage actor performs in this french gray not noir as well as e g robinson in double shows flair for pseudo criminals for a son and compassion for the true author of the crime because he remembers that is father the at some br br was capable of an actor's face in order to put him in the right frame of mind but deep inside he was very human br br i have his in front of me he had in which means open devotion charity and for those who do not believe in my most sincere apologies,positive +susan sarandon and natalie portman play adele and ann august a single mother who's the working definition of the word and her daughter adele wanting to make a fresh start in a big city moves them from to california br br decent if not exceptional or particularly memorable with some serious and sad moments it pushes some emotional buttons that's for sure best thing it offers is a solid cast and sarandon and portman are quite good in the leads even if their characters are one dimensional at times br br could be better could be worse br br i gave this one seven out of ten,positive +this was a great movie and the sequel should know our off the action will be and i just bought the special edition dvd with the animated background story similar to the this will put back in the spotlight and hopefully get him the role in spider man 3 as he would be the most logical choice for the role back to this movie even though it is a indie thriller it has a great story and characters with backgrounds that scream for you to want to learn more if they were to do books or comics it would be a great read there was one thing that i felt was a little under done the ending it needed a little work but not every movie will have the best ending,positive +while the remake of the excellent day of the has better and a budget this film nails the actual persona of carlos down br br quinn excels as the naval officer to the to draw him out of hiding and at the hands of kingsley and sutherland turns himself inside out to do so his family his career and all that he believes in he takes on the task albeit utterly br br to say more would spoil it this is an excellent film br br 3 1 2 niro stars of 4,positive +once in a great while i will watch a movie that completely surprises me one that comes out of nowhere to be a bit of rousing entertainment one that is pure fun from beginning to end well folks when a stranger calls is not that movie it is an unbelievable stupid and far fetched remake of the much better 1979 horror camp classic our lead heroine jill is forced to after going over her cell phone minutes and is by calls from a mysterious every cliché in the world is used here from the stupid cat jumping out of a hidden spot to the car that won't start to the killer can be anywhere at anytime this movie is bad not even bad in a so bad it's good way more in a so bad it's boring way skip this film and save your movie for something else you'll thank me later trust me on this grade d,negative +bottom of the barrel stinker is so bad it's beyond funny the plot is about an american played by brown in the film he's called a military but it's not really clear if he's in the american military or not helping the army of a latin american country fight who winds up joining the when the government turns on him and him shannon is a sports equipment he picks up in a bar who gets caught up in all the intrigue that description actually makes the movie sound better than it is because it's really a stinker of almost biblical proportions how bad is it well shannon turns in the movie's most professional acting job if that isn't an indication of just what a rate piece of junk this turkey is nothing is from sound effects to a music score that sounds like it's from a 1940s z grade horror flick and may very well be to the same footage i e going down the same jungle trail constantly to some of the most staged action scenes in recent memory this laugh a minute has to be seen to be looks bored brown looks hung over and by the time this thing is finished if you can last that long i couldn't you'll know just how they feel br br although there are a lot of explosions and this can't be considered an action picture by any stretch of the imagination it's boring there's a scene in the back of a truck where everybody just stares at each other for three or four minutes repetitive the same rebels and soldiers being killed over and over illogical when a group of rebels is caught in an open field by a government helicopter instead of breaking for cover they just stand there staring up at it inept soldiers and rebels falling dead when no are heard a gun battle inside a house where standing against walls are machine but miraculously the walls escape predictable when the says to offer a reward for capture because someone might turn him in you know exactly who that someone will be and it turns out to be exactly who you thought it was and just downright stupid pretty much everything else in the picture inept brainless and stupid beyond belief don't waste your time,negative +let's see what annoyed me most the extra long dance scene in the beginning watching people around so much i got without even showing where the music was coming from all part of a college that had nothing to do with the rest of the film or perhaps it was the fact that each scene lasted about fifteen minutes longer than they had to what a drag this film is and the most annoying aspect is the bad guys are so bad so obviously horrible that it seems as if the director were making this film for second these people are bad these people are good whenever a movie has its agenda heart on its i am beside myself there's a scene in a that seems totally out of place long drawn out love scenes with the main character and a russian prostitute that seems more like a rock star and his sexy john character who is part of the overlong beginning scene drinks and with the overdone villains his death scene could very well be the stupidest in history and i hear everyone even the of this film talk about how gorgeous the cinematography is i think it looks washed out watch days of heaven if you want to see gorgeous this movie is even worse than the anti hype it's pointless the showing the main character in a was almost as dumb as the prologue the battle scenes are tedious and this movie is really bad avoid it unless you love bad movies because this is the king of them,negative +this movie is very good and the whole family would enjoy watching it when q is of to her big night at prom she dies in a fatal car crash on her way to prom by kids who are drunk and high as the years go by house gets sold and a family moves into the house that she loves as the boy who now lives in the house sees and is the only one who can the two team together with his little little sister and try to save parents from being broke staring amy jo johnson as q this movie will fell your heart with comedy sadness and laughter i hope that you see this movie because it is very good but no one seems to have it on dvd or and it no longer comes on tv,positive +in a really neat spin on hitchcock larry billy crystal and owen danny lead unpleasant lives ex wife has gotten rich by a book that he wrote and owen has the most overbearing mother imaginable when larry tells owen to calm down by watching strangers on a train owen gets the idea that they should do cross murders like in the movie and just like in the movie larry thinks that it's a joke but serious br br how they came up with the idea for throw from the train i'll never know but it's a hilarious movie there isn't a dull moment in it and that ending was a hoot crystal and are at their best and anne is as much of a here as she was in the a modern classic,positive +good drama movie about a child custody case with great performances by all the actors a good example of what an excellent script can do to a simple story to a much higher quality the screenplay was just average though and this is what kept the movie from the list of the all time best dramas still the great acting makes this movie a good one to see if you are a fan of court dramas or a big fan of the lead actors the movie really should have been a tad longer though for more excellence but that would really be,positive +this movie is not the scariest of all time but it is a great example of a campy eighties horror flick low budget no stars lots of inventive death scenes and enough nudity to keep the teenagers in their seats the premise is interesting and fun and the three evil kids play their parts well a nice starting point for just say julie brown exposing her talents early in her career this film won't be seen by many but for fans of 80's horror it's a must,positive +after 30 minutes mostly fast deleted it off my the first movie was self fun the conversation between the just before blows them away off the for example this film just along waiting for someone to shoot it and put it out of your misery br br i can't imagine anyone who worked on this turkey being proud of it br br one was fun four just was awful don't bother even if the alternative is watching reruns of a 700 club you'll at least get some good laughs there and the alien makeup is more believable grin,negative +though it hardly to other sci fi film giants like 2001 a space odyssey or close encounters of the third kind does work as a totally and bizarre of science fiction and horror elements somehow despite dialogue that approaches the ridiculous and acting that does the same it manages to work because of a few highly different elements br br loosely based on colin 1976 novel the space vampires this film from director tobe hooper the texas chainsaw massacre focuses on a joint us british mission aboard the british space to study led by an american commander steve they discover an alien in the coma and when they investigate the interior of the they find alien that look like giant bats later on the reaches but no response is given from radio calls from the home base the space research center in london columbia is launched to with but they find the entire ship by fire all except for the alien beings in glass who far from being by the fire look absolutely perfect the aliens are bought back to earth and that's where the incredible happens br br these space vampires escape from the space research center and instead of their victims of blood via bite wounds suck their totally out of them one of them is the space girl a thoroughly nude played by may the only actual survivor from is bought in by the chief frank and a british special agent peter to track may who is in contact with him pretty soon however the vampires have turned london into a scene of pure holocaust people are either being or turning into zombies and the threat by to the city with radiation large finally catches up with may and sacrifices himself by her with a large metal br br undoubtedly disjointed uneven but nevertheless worth watching despite the frequent of its script and its acting benefits from some drop dead excellent special effects work by john star wars some of the best ever seen the other working element and a surprise one it is is the incredible score by henry almost in the same way john score for star wars was and like williams before him uses the london orchestra to boot br br largely forgotten these days and a critical and box office disaster in 1985 if for no other reason should still be seen for anyone with a taste for the bizarre there had never been a film quite like it before and there will certainly not be anything like it again,positive +i watched this short moments ago on the sundance film festival website and i must say it is absolutely astounding i expected it to be entertaining like all of the sundance shorts but i wasn't prepared for such deep sadness and yet also a sense of passion and beauty br br if you haven't yet seen any of this years entries to the festival i suggest you go onto the site and watch these mini masterpieces i have seen them all and can honestly say 'the youth in is the one that has touched my heart the most i'm not the weakest audience member when it comes to romance in films but my eyes up so much i'm surprised i could still see the screen br br i agree with it truly is a masterful piece of directorial work and the cinematography will just take your breath away br br i can't think of a better way to spend a spare 12 minutes,positive +the first movie at the festival in vegas and the most challenging it's not a movie for everyone a number of the films that followed used predictable classic horror to tell predictable stories this picture seemed determined to do its own thing br br tom showed some comic chops as the over the top villain he dominated every scene he was in flipping his cape about like leslie playing dracula it was great to hear his explanation after the film he had such a good sense of humor about the role br br i was glad i didn't have too many going in because the movie offered a lot of surprises the story was funny and and unusual there was a lot of love on the look most important it had a weird edge to it unlike many of the movies that followed and tried to use a similar classic horror style this was a movie that used its look for a purpose br br there were a lot of movies at the festival with bigger budgets but none that to be this different,positive +at the beginning of the movie says that is his tribute to the godfather this one feels more like an insult it terribly in comparison to the coppola classic although no one was expecting to fill shoes the movie did create a lot of expectation and buzz br br amitabh bachchan plays a character automatically drawing instant comparisons to indian political party bachchan plays his son who returns from abroad and gets caught up in politics at home just like al pacino in the original godfather br br as most bollywood fare incidents and characters are overtly simplistic and devoid of any kind of solid foundation quick phone calls and sudden turn the film from one direction to another takes to murky underworld politics crime like a duck takes to water bachchan as is supposed to look magnificent and powerful he just ends up looking old and clueless most of his acting is centered around constantly staring at different things around the movie set the actor in front of him the floor or in some other random direction br br however kay kay performs exceedingly well as the elder son so does as the based who wants to gets his in this actor has awesome screen presence and can send chills down your spine with just the way he looks the moment he enters the screen you want to run and hide under the bed br br all its obvious flaws not the film did well at the box office the buzz and the big star cast obviously helping also manages to hold your interest albeit mildly towards the later half of the film he is actually making a sequel to this one which i am sure will be more of the same fare,negative +i've read just about every major book about the manhattan project most people know what it was but few people understand the depth and of the project its scope was massive in us history perhaps only by the space program of the 1960's br br there were literally millions of people involved from all walks of life at numerous sites most around the country each involved in a specific and different aspect of the project that they couldn't talk about to the person sitting in the next to them much less their family the are overwhelming particularly given the of wartime communication security and in the 1940's br br as an example my father was a carpenter who worked for one of the companies that had a contract with the federal government for the manhattan project his job was to a crew of about 30 other who were responsible for forms for the of for the massive research at washington that's all he did six days a week for nearly two years these needed food and just as much as did and his crowd at the top of the just think about it that being said it's simply impossible to do the subject justice in a 2 hour movie in defense of however i would say that they had an impossible task particularly since he chose to have a diverse screenplay with multiple plots multiple angles and multiple characters what exactly was he thinking and how could he be so arrogant to think that this would work that's hollywood i guess br br fat man and little boy has so many flaws that it would take a book to list them all horrible casting dreadful and politically motivated writing bad science the portrayals of and are particularly inaccurate and downright notwithstanding the all too obvious agenda it is still incredibly bland and sloppy br br these flaws have been listed elsewhere on imdb but i was particularly struck by the fact that the scientists had so much time on their hands riding parties semi ballet etc not to mention romance and of course political according to if these great brains had gotten off their and actually spent some time in the lab instead of laura dern we might have won the war before d day br br one final mentions that fat man and little boy were the code names of the two atomic bombs but it doesn't mention that these names were a semi good natured at fat man for heavy stature and little boy for his slight stature another reason paul newman should not have been in this movie,negative +who doesn't remember the muppet movie br br the frog is now an american culture icon what child doesn't appeal to this character br br as the first actual muppet film the movie simply called the muppet movie did very well takes a hollywood advice and goes out of his home swamp to respond to the ad along the way he meets up with a pig a bear a rock band and a few other quality puppets watch for dozens of cameo appearances like steve martian richard mel brooks and several more i grew up watching this movie and i loved it,positive +wave after wave of this film wants and at first promises to be quirky and original but is in fact obvious and in cliché driven dialogue which builds to a of awfulness and cheese by the end throughout the film we meet supposedly off the wall characters who are actually very dull and just don't quite work and who through the horrific screenplay like men in suits driving through mansion houses and existential accompanied by the of the film has occasional funny episodes often no funnier than a dog playing with its which happened twice an of the slapstick humour of the film in general but by the end the film falls into an of complete and the director's which made me want to my eyes out watch this film at your peril,negative +it's strange while the film features full x rated sex scenes and violent murders it never feels as shocking as it ought to br br a group of scientists go to an island in the to investigate a incident upon their arrival a mutated goes about the happy business of murdering the men and having his way with the women doesn't it always seem to work out that way br br among the acts we find a some lesbian encounters a three way with male prostitutes and the rape of an already dead body even though it's all fully explicit it fails to ever shock or stir as it is meant to as soon as the sex goes fully pornographic it just loses it's edge the suspension of disbelief is broken and we realize we are just watching people having sex br br there is some blood and gore with the murders but given that this is a flick it's really tame for a much more rounded experience watch the similar nights of the living br br 2 10,negative +the obsession of and is not enough to make a good film should have remained in our memory as a brilliant film back in the it was not necessary to take the camera the result is quite frustrating it´s a pity for his excellent leading actors,negative +in the line of fire in my opinion is an excellent suspenseful and edge of your seat action drama thriller i thought that agent clint eastwood and agent raines russo looked good in the they wore at the presidential dinner as for john he was a sick man who loved to toy with frank by phone he looked good in the he wore near the end of the film though one thing that surprised me was the growing attraction between agent and agent raines before i wrap this up i'd like to say that the entire cast and crew did an outstanding job i loved the setting and i couldn't get enough of it now in conclusion to all you clint eastwood fans who haven't seen this excellent suspenseful and edge of your seat action drama thriller i highly recommend it,positive +having enjoyed neil writing especially his collaboration with in the dream hunters in the past i figured to be a sure thing and was very disappointed the beginning live action section of the movie was intriguing enough the relationships between the characters was believable and easy to empathize with and i loved the sets the and artwork the subsequent computer generated scenes however were excruciating the dialogue was awkward and pretentious the interaction between the live actors and the cgi horrifying events occurred for the reasons and most events seemed superfluous to whatever plot may have existed i only watched the first twenty or thirty minutes of the movie so i'm not exactly an authority but i strongly recommend that you don't watch any of it at all and stick with strong written work,negative +this has got to be one of best productions i completely disagree with the comments made by br br this series shows the depth of australian and the they went to to help each other out episode five is a great example of this and it really captures the australian spirit br br the music used throughout the series only the situation that the men were faced with their longing for home and their loved ones the numerous amusing of the road to captures the spirit of the men and the fact that they never forgot home and that it was little elements such as the singing of a song that took them home for a short while br br as for the comment about it being racist towards japanese people the only thing to be said is that you can't change what happened the japanese did treat the very poorly in and to represent it as otherwise would be very misleading indeed the comment about the screenplay being in accurate is also false these six stories that are told in the series are composed from real p o w experiences br br the actors were superb the best being in my opinion matthew his performance as david in the first episode was gut wrenching from being a city boy to being another face to his we see him change dramatically in the first episode because of his violent attack in the jungle and in further episodes we can see how that one event has changed him he is more aware of what is really going on and is always one of the first to help out the other members of the secret nine br br stephen also deserves a mention his performance in is amazing going from the of the group to being sick weak and unable to take care of himself the displays of in this episode touch you on an emotional level and make you proud to be australian br br i study wwii at university level and have found this series if not physically truthful truthful as it captures the true spirit of what it was to be an australian soldier br br well done to john doyle for capturing the spirit of,positive +this is probably the best movie of 2002 regarding romanian cinema i do recommend it being an intense drama with no lack of action and thrills the movie concentrates upon teen life in the the main character not focusing so much on the character's shape or definition but more on the anger that he and other characters feel the title means rage rather than anger but could be regarded in the movie in both senses from the behavior of actors the rather odd love story not a typical romantic one but rather a modern suburban conception is well shaped towards the end it is a captivating picture and cinematography is pretty good in catching the suburban night life thus making it a nice movie to watch and br br you won't get bored for a minute i promise,positive +is based on the best selling novel by michael which i thought lacked usual charm smart characters and punch well sorry to say but the same goes for the film br br here's the plot br br greed is bad this simple morality tale a c e o joe don baker sends his son into the dangerous african on a quest for a source of large enough and pure enough to function as powerful laser or is it laser weapons when contact is lost with his son and the team his daughter in law laura a former cia and computer freak is sent after them on her quest she is accompanied by gee and a few eccentric characters including a ernie hudson a with a talking gorilla dylan walsh and a a nutty indiana jones type looking for king mines tim after some narrow escapes from surface to air and some african they all discover that often what we most want turns out to be the source of our downfall br br the actors in this movie were not talented dylan walsh acts like a pathetic especially at the end ernie hudson is unconvincing is it no wonder he went on to star in tv films and laura is nothing special i think i can safely say the only talented actors in this film had very small roles joe don baker and tim an always enjoyable actor although sometimes for life by constantly being reminded of his rocky horror picture days br br this movie also had some other problems including awful direction style cheesy dialogue and a just plain boring plot which was completely when compared to novel br br not even stan creature effects could save this movie from being a disaster i am deeply disappointed in this movie there was not even a campy quality to redeem itself with it was just plain awful cheesy boring and ridiculous and proves to be one of the worst book to film productions br br 2 5 stars br br john,negative +this thriller has so many twists and turns it had me on the edge of my seat i saw it on video some of the landscape at the might have been a bit more spectacular on the big screen cast has sandra ben chaplin from the truth about cats dogs michael pitt henry parker in creek and ryan,positive +this movie's basic premise is that everyone in the world can know that a person is gay except for that person and that a man who likes show tunes has good taste and is neat in appearance must be a homosexual yes the movie is funny in parts but the basic premise is to and insulting that the entire movie into something that is quite painful to sit through the performances particularly joan and kevin kline are very good,negative +found an old vhs version of this film in my parents house so i thought i'd give it a go right from the start i wasn't expecting much from this film and i'm glad for that because overall the film was no good br br the acting overall was very poor even for a nicolas cage movie one scene with a radio stands out as being so pitiful that i found it hilarious that this scene wasn't cut the first 30 minutes of the film had almost no developed plot and i didn't know what was going on br br the story itself had the possibility of being decent but either the director was just bad or was trying too hard to put his own unique touch on the style of the film i managed to watch the whole thing but i won't likely ever see this film again,negative +scarecrow gone wild he's the death of the party need i say more scarecrow gone wild got four out of ten stars from me for one simple reason aside from the terrible acting plot holes cheap special effects and anti climactic it was cinematic gold i think that this movie could have actually been really good had the scarecrow turned out to be the baseball coach as portrayed by the ever so brilliant ken but then again they would have had to cut those awesome return of the jedi electricity special effects br br while watching this movie my friends and i were convinced that it was in fact written by one of our friends a stereotypical teen aged boy this movie has topless women miserably fake gore and dialog that could not have talked its way out of a paper bag or in this case a br br if i could ask the filmmaker one thing it would be this how much did you have to pay the teenager that wrote this for you,negative +night of the demons is definitely one the definitive cheesy 80's demons horror flick in the same vein as the brilliant evil dead and demons movies this movie combines sexually active teens and demons into one hell of a fun movie a definite welcome addition after the 80's were by slasher flicks it was nice to see something a little different br br the plot follows a group of teens who all meet up for a halloween party at house which used to be funeral by angela about 40 minutes of and eventually leads to a demon or demons finding their way out of the and each and every one of the teens add some make up effects lots of gore and cool looking demons and you've got yourself a sweet 80's cheese fest that would be as one of the best demon related films in many horror lists br br firstly i loved the setting for this movie house is really creepy and scary and the perfect setting for a horror movie and plus when the demons emerge that's when the action really kicks in and it becomes a night of terror and fear this movie 2 sequels the first one in 1994 which was okay but nothing come to this and the third one titled demon house was absolutely horrendous this is one of those horrors that has definitely stood the test of time and remains a true gem of mine for many years to come br br all in all a fun cheesy flick with demons that's definitely worth checking out,positive +not a good one not at all br br this installment revolves around a descent of the original murderer inside the home who must face his past to rid himself of the nightmarish terror of itself br br it's basically nothing my bet is that this film was made for some extra fast cash to buy a boat or something because this one's just ridiculous thankfully it doesn't kill or ruin the series but it just has no effect on the series at all br br i'd have to say that just the fact that it is constantly to the old infamous house is probably the only thing that makes this one slightly more bearable than the curse,negative +i always think it would be nice if you could somehow have a at some of the old movies that are re released on dvd before you purchase them that way you could save yourself some time money and a certain degree of when you feel so utterly let down br br the buddy holly story is such a movie br br i do not wish to go into the characterizations or the holes in the plot or the messing around with historical facts that this movie for i had already come to terms with them twenty years ago when i first began watching it br br i had recorded it on the old machine back in the early 1980s and liked it so much that it became a regularly played favourite the best part to my mind was gary performance as the young buddy and his near perfect and guitar playing br br i looked forward to the day when i could have it in and that is where the disappointment comes in br br this dvd version is supposedly re in both audio and video according to the shell information but i'm afraid it left me sadly let down and at my watch wishing for it to end br br the sound is murky on the and so mixed that it had me yearning for the crystal clarity of my old tape br br despite what you think of the images or the plot or the characters the real draw card here is the music and if you can't hear the lead because they are drowned out by the or the backing or other then there's not much left is there br br i'm going to my old version to dvd for subsequent viewings and put this one where it belongs out with the rubbish br br is the rule survival is the exception,negative +a in cinematic history is one of the handful of great films out there that richly deserves to be called a classic it was the picture that made m a of film making at the time and today it is still remembered as the wonderful piece of cinema it always has been br br is a film that needs to be seen as one not to be picked at don't just watch those clip shows where they only present the sequence and then move on to or 'the see it all in it's glorious 75 minute running time to really understand and enjoy it don't expect every detail to be perfect though i mean the acting of the silent era makes look like a master of understated realism certain plot points may seem illogical and some of the battle sequences look dated but it is still an immensely enjoyable movie br br the most memorable moments in the film are the on the body falling off the ship the sailor under the at the end of the the mother holding her dead child the baby on the steps and the lion rising up to as further carnage ensues for each new pair of eyes that look upon it 'the comes alive once again,positive +what i liked best about this feature length animated film from 1941 is the great feel it gives for the early 1940s it's the songs the clothing buildings of the day etc you feel like you've stepped back into time br br from reading some of the reviews here i see this was a hard luck film being released a couple of days before the pearl harbor attack wow no one would be interested in going to the movies for a feature length cartoon during those and shocking days i'm sure too bad because the folks missed some nice animation would have really impressed back then almost 70 years ago the colors are nice drawings are good and story involving as we root for the bugs led by and and his beautiful girl honey to make it happily ever after and out of way it's also about all of them finding a spot they can live and not worry about humans them br br there is a nasty villain though c beetle and two of his henchmen those the fly and the are comedians complete with their brooklyn accents the story is a familiar one where a nasty old man wants to marry the sweet young thing and uses means to force her hand the good guy meanwhile has the against him but in the very end of course br br my favorite part this will sound worse than what it was was when good guy got and he in black and white that was fantastic animation br br you know it's a good thing i didn't see this as a very little kid i would have been afraid to play outside and all those nice bug people you never know what or who is in that grass beneath your feet,positive +one true thing may have seemed like a horror movie to the of the 80's but it doesn't ring true today unless you happen to be part of a upper middle class family which is so from the world that it has never suffering br br avoid this shallow flop,negative +i saw this movie with hopes of a good laugh but when i watched it i didn't stop laughing for weeks they are such bad actors and it made this movie so much funnier to watch btw ryan didn't eat the toy car he shoved it up his ass the random appearances from the and parts were great some no your are at the store i wouldn't recommend any one under 13 to watch it frankly they wouldn't understand half of the jokes in or what they are talking about i love and after watching this movie i couldn't help but go buy it or the la series what is the deal with this stupid comment thing it has to be 10 lines what kind of bull is that i should be able to write one as long or in this case as short as i want i'm just going to keep until it tells me i can actually send it its just a waste of time i expected to just say what i wanted it wasn't too much but then i'm told i have to keep putting more in and then it my spelling so what if i didn't spell something right you get what i mean still this is ridiculously long br br those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't,positive +the title doesn't make much sense to me i'm not sure what door in the movie shouldn't have been opened br br the movie starts with a conversation between a man and a woman in a room that looks like a richly train car complete with the sound of the train traveling in fact the man's house is a train car and he has a of train sounds the woman leaves and calls a young woman the young woman tells her boyfriend a doctor that she's been told her grandmother is ill and she needs to return to her home town she hasn't been there in thirteen years br br flash back to thirteen years ago a shadowy figure enters a house he a sleeping young girl then goes into another room and stabs the girl's mother the girl wakes up and enters her mother's room and finds her dead with a knife in her she screams and an arm comes out of nowhere and a hand over her mouth she looks up in fear that early scene in the movie of the killer her scream and the girl's look is one of the few effective shots in the movie br br it doesn't have much going for it in the visuals department occasionally there's some strange use of sound and there's some weird lighting in an attic scene where many of the of glass are red and blue br br back to the present day the young woman arrives in her house an old doctor is there who she doesn't trust along with the man from the opening scene judge and the town's museum she doesn't trust any of them and it's true they don't inspire any trust she's rather throughout the whole movie she wants to check her grandmother into a hospital the men in the town want her house and the museum wants the things in it his museum is already filled with many of the things inexplicably the woman wants to keep the house br br the young woman starts getting phone calls from a man speaking in a sinister he makes various and wants her to do things to him such scenes often unfortunately there are so few characters in the movie that the possibilities of who it could be are limited worse still we see right from the beginning who is making the phone calls so while the young woman doesn't know even though the occasionally drops into his normal voice the audience always knows no suspense each call her more and more br br the ending was unexpected for me so maybe gets points for not going with the obvious but i'm not sure i cared for it,negative +ridiculous film where two swinging college move out to california and one becomes a movie star and the other his manager br br as 10 years pass the popularity is so it is determined that there will be a television show where women will compete for his affection br br the film is obnoxious and ridiculous the girls who for lover boy are made to look foolish only one girl seems to be the choice of the producer of the show she is really an amateur up against some of the other women but she is wholesome and brings good ratings to the show as well br br by the third scene you realize that the manager is falling for her br br we know that ryan really was meant to be a bachelor while the ending is somewhat cute you really know where this was going,negative +a cynical sarcastic and intense film mocking and imitating the style of pulp fiction and stylized gangster films is an entertaining off putting and hilarious thrill ride an amazingly mix of over the top characters and entertaining situations this day in the life of a trying to go straight proves to be a worthy addition to the series of films that attempts to the genius of dark masterpiece pulp fiction br br nick aaron stops by thomas jane house to catch up on old times was a former for drug dealers who has since become an architect married a successful paula marshall and is now a child nick who still has ties to the gangster underworld leaves a full of drugs at house while he borrows his car to run a few a k a unfinished business disgusted and by the introduction of drugs into his home them all down the kitchen sink that's when one at a time double crossed drug and crooked cops all come a knocking for the unsuspecting who is about to have one unbelievable br br the film opens with a hilarious sequence in a gas station in which nick is looking for the best deal for a cup of coffee after which size cup to get a fiasco breaks out with the when he demands a free cake and uses a 50 bill to pay resulting in brilliant bloodshed the situation goes from bad to worse when a cop and is caught in the most unusual of circumstances this opening segment the perfect mood for the rest of the film which never takes itself too seriously and includes outrageous characters that seem self aware of their own existence in this nonsensical gangster flick br br the film is broken into segments based on various events and times during the course of one day this effect is much like pulp fiction which is a similarly given chapters although doesn't mess with order except for the occasional flashback also like tarantino music introduces each scene and each character oddly humorous creatures such as the hit man pizza delivery guy that over the phone and shares his and dallas who attempts to rape add humor to each event regardless of how horrifying and unnerving some of the are when mickey spine chilling crooked cop is introduced the careful staging and intricate setup is fully assembled and situation becomes even more daring and br br definitely a wannabe pulp fiction with plenty of violence witty dialogue and extremely creepy does some things right but other attempts at homage may be going just far enough as to suggest rip off a flashback sequence that shows shooting up baddies and sporting a that exactly matches john do in pulp fiction is easily one step too far br br mike www net,positive +perhaps one of the best movies ever made and friendship runs deep and the war puts a strain on their strong friendship as a i can honestly say this epic is as accurate as it gets brothers fighting brothers can you imagine what life must have been living during those times the best part of the movie for me was when the south general grant is president lincoln to really stick it to the south he says mr president a lot of folks want the south to bleed over what they've done president lincoln turns to him and in a very tired voice says the south has enough and so have we i burst into tears and take a deep breath what a president it's like a father saying his son has been enough and despite his anger he realizes his point has been made this war was a very dark time for our young country and it had to be fought president lincoln knew this i'm everyone who reads this to watch this movie and add it to your dvd collection then thank god that our country was as jesus said a house divided against itself cannot stand,positive +i'm not a big fan of musicals but i was always of ms looks so i thought i'd give it a try br br this may be the best showcase for the multi talented ms hayworth she's never looked in a film with the possible exception of where she is sex symbol par excellence br br rita is more than by gene kelly and phil the comedy may be dated but it is still quite amusing kelly does one of his tour de force dances dancing with the image of himself from a window br br but rita drives this whole movie an excellent cast featuring otto and the always wonderful wise cracking eve doesn't hurt br br rita sings rita dances all the while looking beautiful the music may be short of classic but the lyrics to most of the tunes are quite clever br br i find this movie works better than which i regard as a flawed film to ms credit she also drives and drives any red blooded male insane br br the film holds up well after all these years much leg candy for the male audience is a nice bonus,positive +maybe it was the excessive weight gain seagal had put on or maybe it was the horrible acting of wayans in an action flick or was it the total lack of chemistry between the two leading characters these and other lead me to conclude that seagal should have never made this acting nightmare true the story line was good yet as an avid of career and background his physical appearance was inconsistent with his genre of clean pure healthy living notably in his on screen discussions with wayans then again his real life affair with the was inconsistent also br br if seagal wants to become a more actor then he should do what a fellow action figure did in cop put humorous material or situations in the script where the actor has no choice but to react in a comical way otherwise leave the wise cracks and the attempts at humor out of it while chasing a serial killer seagal is not a natural humor type of guy it did not work br br,negative +i loved the film eddie monroe the film had all the that kept me interested while watching it i especially loved the plot twists along the way and the surprising ending craig morris has brad pitt potential both in looks and talent his blue eyes reminded me of paul fred carpenter took this movie to a new level i loved the cast the music score cinematography talent locations and script were awesome i loved seeing some of my favorite actors in eddie monroe fred carpenter is an incredibly talented and gifted director he gives his work 200 the film has great i hope that there will be an eddie monroe 2 i would love to see how turns out after getting her of money fred carpenter's eddie monroe is hollywood level,positive +this is one of my favorite comedies this movie is just meant to be enjoyed not it's not religious commentary it's fun it's fantasy the surprisingly negative comments imho reflect a level of expectation that professional film critics have led us to think must be a part of every movie br br others have described role it's the reason you'll watch the movie over and over and the excellent supporting cast including br br sometimes a is just a sometimes a movie is just fun br br enjoy,positive +i found the movie at my local video store and i was surprised to see it on dvd i had heard about the explicit sex scenes gruesome violence and the notorious i sat and watched and i began laughing the set and art direction was cheap and fake the nudity was and incredibly the story was poorly written and it was just a parade of incredibly beautiful and talented actors being held hostage to quote the worst dialogue ever written the incestuous relationship between malcolm mcdowell and his beautiful sister ann a vulnerable beauty can't be taken seriously it's not even shocking or repulsive peter o'toole and john were obviously held hostage during the making of this film luckily they die in the first thirty minutes of the film the cinematography was a joke and i was even more amused when they used a quote from the bible the book of mark no less if you are looking for shock value this movie will disappoint you if you are looking for camp cult value you will be even more disappointed i know i was i have seen shocking and this is two hours of your life you will never have back,negative +i had a different experience with this movie it never got charming or delightful or funny for me one big clue that this was not your typical movie was that the label gave no indication of the s spoken in the film another was the lack of choices re subtitles br br i found the lack of dialogue annoying especially when accompanied by exaggerated facial expressions as it almost always was the wildly inconsistent development of the feeble plot was puzzling were there characters or only vague gestures was there even a plot br br on a separate matter i'm getting to correct the spelling of dialogue with the suggested substitute of dialogue maybe this movie in its entirety including the imdb portion is designed to puzzle or but i'm getting more than amused,negative +another slice of darkness and denial hiding beneath the surface of american imaginary heroes chronicles the lives of the travis family all recovering following the suicide of their son br br the pair at the center of the film is mother and son sandy weaver and tim both acting out in different ways as a result of the death while tim experiments with and his own sexuality sandy to her former self smoking marijuana and coming to terms with an old act of infidelity br br the relationship between sandy and tim is explored well especially when references are made to both of them being from their own family sandy due to her affair and tim initially due to always being in the shadow of his more successful older brother considerably less time is allowed for husband ben jeff daniels who in a devastating depiction of denial orders sandy to make an additional plate of food for his dead son and place it in his old spot at the dinner table michelle older sister penny is and could easily be taken out of the film br br despite its long runtime imaginary heroes doesn't explore its many subplots as much as the individual stories deserve while some of the movie's black comedy doesn't translate as well as writer director dan harris may have liked and the depiction of a disturbed family dynamic isn't depicted as strongly as the many other films out there with similar ideas but despite some issues the central performances from weaver and are stunning and easily carry the film to its successfully subdued conclusion br br rating b,positive +not the funniest movie ever but i have to watch this film at least once a year just so i can fall in love with michelle johnson all over again she never looked better than she did in this film by the way the story is good too,negative +there is nothing wrong with showing an old man falling in love with a young girl did it american beauty did it br br but they did it subtly they did not make it so apparent from the start that the director is them up to make them fall in love with each other not as naturally as two people would age no bar but forcing them to be around each other as if they were supposed to fall in love br br all in all there should have been chemistry it would have solved the biggest problem people with against the subject would also have been and perhaps convinced it would have become the perfect love story no matter the br br i found it difficult to believe character at times what i found more difficult to understand is why a photographer and an artist who seems serious would have had an interest in a girl so unless he himself has some hidden in himself which did not come out at all br br there is a lot of use of dutch angles or angles in which the frame is it is generally used to show something unnatural or something that might lead to something that is not right so is himself calling the relationship unnatural br br the camera angles background score editing and even the of shots and and their relationship is the indian audience so dumb that we need to be told something in 10 different ways for us to understand especially when the two of them were dancing together it was apparent what was happening what was the need of the scene down with dramatic background music i feel the subject was very well chosen but should not have made the film with the fact in mind constantly that this is a controversial subject if it is then handle it why don't you,negative +keys to the an original series by the canadian comedy network scored big with this entertaining yet inspirational this show is by four funny good looking guys who judge others on their ability to pick up women each episode features two guys who go head to head in various pick up games there are three different sections and the winner scores a night as a in an toronto night club br br being a guy i naturally find this show hilarious we all know that it's hard to confront women and watching these guys do it naturally sparks the curiosity of men the guys who compete on this show might even give you a few if you pay attention,positive +don't bother to check for logic there is none but on the other hand there are many really great movies that totally lack logic so why bother br br i both like and dislike this film i like it because the action sequences in the air are really great you get to see a lot of i also like the f 16 which is a very cool plane br br but there are just too many goofs to make me really enjoy it i guess it's not fair to wish for some sort of continuity as it is hard to make a really good fighter film but i also think there should be some sense of reason br br and i have a question do they fly from california to the middle east in f without air i'd like to see that happening,negative +this movie is bad just bad in absolute terms bad br br the dialog jumps off the screen and slugs you in the face with its thoroughly artificial banter and then on your ability to even trace amounts of subtlety br br racism is bad racism in los angeles can be especially bad i live in the city of angels i can to that what is so terrible about the in los angeles is its nature it creeps at you with a knowing glance or a word until just at the edge of a full on fist fight it almost never comes right out and says why did he have to be black br br i can see quite clearly that the car are black the partner is hispanic the da is white as long as there is film rolling through the i can let the visuals music and words take me to that conclusion without just telling me the conclusion characters and we read between the lines to make the connections and conclusions br br that is a and trust between filmmaker and audience that trust is raped by this movie br br a good film pulls you in directions as an audience and it you with to drive to a point this movie beats you down with its point and insults you and your intelligence along the way my unanswered question is why did we as a society say thank you,negative +does anyone remember the alternative comedy show the comic strip presents one edition featured charles bronson being interviewed about his new movie br br it's about a man an ordinary man whose wife and family gets wiped out by creeps and i have to hunt them down and kill them in a sadistic and graphic manner br br and after what next for bronson br br we're using a new angle my family don't get wiped out but i go after creeps just the same br br this accurately describes the evil that men do it's a bronson vigilante thriller where his motivation isn't down to a blood but this leads to credibility becoming strained br br bronson is a retired hit man who isn't giving up his retirement for anything until someone shows him a video tape featuring interviews with the victims of the doctor not the legendary time but a infamous expert on torture it's never really explained why the doctor is so infamous since any police state has a of these nor is it explained why the doctor and his sister have ridiculous english accents br br as you may guess it's a written movie and incidents happening because the screenwriter needs things to happen to further the plot no matter how unlikely they are like one of the bad guys getting invited to a so he can be killed or things being revealed like the doctor's sister being a lesbian so some t a can be included br br in many ways it's like one of those nasty chuck norris vehicles that were being released at the same time but the most disappointing thing is that the director is also the same man who made ice cold in alex and the guns of two very well regarded war dramas that are often shown on sunday believe me this movie won't be shown until well after the,negative +it's saturday it's and i think every movie should have at least one comment so i just watched the crime doctor's courage all the way through it's a murder mystery with a typical cast of characters and a couple of the usual suspects each with their own possible motive for the crime the story starts abruptly and the viewer is thrown into the plot with no character development or storytelling whatsoever i guess that's not too surprising for a b movie of this period there are also some moments which look and feel like this is pre wwii but perhaps that is due to the writer's background in radio shows br br the crime doctor is the sleuth who happens to be visiting california for some r r from his practice on the east coast he up with a mystery novelist friend with whom it is implied has been along for one or more previous mystery solving the novelist occasionally fills the role of sidekick to our sleuth aka dr watson and also occasionally things up with a bit of comic relief sort of br br there is also a somewhat simple but not quite bumbling police captain who at times is annoyed by the sleuth and then there are the mysterious a brother and sister who are dance artists at a night club the dance is sort of an dance that happens to be one of those moments which feels more like the 30's than the 40's though the story location is california the appear to live in a castle br br there was one plot element which managed to keep me somewhat amused but i won't any more than that because i always enjoy movies more when the story is discovered rather than known in advance even though i can think of many many b films which would rate higher and it is difficult to say that watching this one is time well spent i have not seen any other movies from the crime doctor series so i can't make any comparisons,negative +what we're given in this trying to be trendy film is a frat pack of college friends now approaching age 30 which we all know of course their generation thinks of as the new 20 of four guys and a gal we have thrust at us the following types seemingly and frequent drug users along with one individual who is job successful and one who is trying to be they are all in their own way while trying to find both a future and emotional happiness with one possibly two exceptions these are people this reviewer would definitely never care to come close to myself after there is disappointment after disappointment after disappointment in almost all their lives except in the instance of one individual who appears on the way to finding it none appears headed toward emotional satisfaction in his her life and so about the only sincere moment in this film is when a knock at the door brings to the person answering it an unexpected and heartfelt i love you br br with only the exceptions mentioned these people are the kind hardly deserving or worthy of several hundred thousands of dollars being thrown away in presenting their stories br br ps writer director johnson definitely appears to have a problem with showing gay sexual scenes with no such problems in presenting more prolonged and revealing ones why might that be br br,negative +one of the most aspects of movie viewing is to get lost in a film to have it totally wash over you so that you it as it is and thus experience it to the every time i see it 'the is such a film over the years it is a picture critics have loved to hate many have thrown at its but perhaps it is because of the very tone the film brings with it rather than its most obvious characteristics it is at once remote possibly dangerous beware of what lies within the haunting of the music seen over the 20th fox us into titles of other br br strange it is as if we are into some vault of might be great mixed with uncertain one might imagine commanding it ancient ' then what a darkly dramatic story unfolds all within the same tone set at the start br br of hollywood's mid 50s 'the ten portrayed the the phenomenal of the its nuts and while 'the shows it all from to tragedy for us to wonder at br br no need to say much about the players here but i think that with the passage of time is being redeemed what a perfect face for the role right out of a painting if her acting does not please some it might be that in her role as a she is obviously better in bed than to some poor helpless admirer i think that captured the of her relationship with edmund character with censorship being what it was at the time sir peter ustinov in his was pretty kind to 'the writing that it was being lost in a huge set for his of the

this role c'mon folks don't be so hard on victor mature he's a son who rose to be sounds like a american opportunity one of the best moments john existential observations on the of time and about beyond the sunset of the world if that isn't grade what is br br of course along with everything else the music is sublime it is frequently noted that alfred newman and bernard created one of the most compelling scores perfectly yet each theme is well developed with a life of its own newman pressed for time by called in someone he could trust to take up half the burden br br benny not the guy to work with obviously respected newman enough to really deliver inspiring music they an ingenious approach no spoilers as to who did what here but benny brings an edge with him mysterious awesome sounds alfred brings longing both are epic even when seen on a tv print the effect of seeing the two names side by side in the main credits which the ultra wide screen could is spine br br leon the dean of does not let us down here the lurid and moody shadows probably in all the terrible tv i've seen through the years perfectly the multi dimensional script by the great philip dunne and wb vet robinson whom must've brought with him to 20th how remarkable it is that who was as much of an institution of cinematography at fox as newman was with music would lens a few years later but in the images of '60s todd a o these old studio guys are really heroes of mine br br to me who wants to about all the and criticism opportunities in a picture like this i'd rather entirely to its spell and dive off into its sea of to emerge after the inspiring climax of 'the moved and hungry for more br br and yes we should cry out to 20th fox for a dvd release worthy of legacy,positive +i enjoyed this movie more than i expected it has enough action intrigue and locations to make it worth your while while i can't quite yet see mark as a leader he's gotten good enough to be a credible manager and that's ok br br the superhero of the movie is the mini cooper it's shown to have the speed and muscle to pull off any job and to handle a maniac driver like character,positive +michael is warm and winning comedy fantasy that features one of my favorite performances from the john travolta library travolta gives one of his and most likable performances as michael an whose quiet existence at the home of a lonely named jean is when reports michael's presence in her home to a national like newspaper and the editor bob sends william hurt mcdowell robert to the motel to check it out hurt mcdowell and are quite good as the jaded news who have a hard time accepting they've met an angel but this is show and he rules as the pot sugar eating cookie pie loving loving bull chasing michael an angel who just isn't what you think you of when you think of angels and you have to love the scene in the bar when he and the ladies dance to chain of fools i love this movie more and more every time i watch it and it's mainly because of the completely winning performance from john travolta,positive +the brilliant australian comic genius barry had a rare failure with this uneven and occasionally comedy which was back from release after only a few days drunken australian sir les accidentally sets an arab on fire at the un and is posted to his tiny country as punishment arriving just as a palace coup puts a new leader american soap star on the throne sir les with the reluctant help of dame both played by almost accidentally a scheme by the new leader to release a deadly disgusting aids like virus on the western world joan rivers has a cameo as the female president of the united states her desk plate reading president rivers extreme bad taste with slapstick and usual satire in a film which is more enjoyable in it's many funny parts than taken together as a whole dame tv fans may be puzzled by the presence of a different sadly one who lacks emily wonderful drab comedy magic in the role the film was written by his third wife diane and directed by the mad max man himself george miller for die hard fans like myself essential all others beware,negative +i went in expecting not much from human traffic and came out really pleased the film is well made and acted and very shot it has so much going for it it's a film i really recommend especially to those who liked or for those who like to argue the debate in the drugs and the media tremendous fun,positive +i was disappointed with the sequel to the princess i can see what they were trying to do with the story show how married life was going for and derek but the story wasn't interesting enough to hold my attention and it seemed to cover the same as the original br br it isn't funny the only bit i found humorous was when jean bob was turned into a prince and then back into a frog and no one saw it happen and he was trying to convince them that it really did br br the villain is rubbish and the animation isn't as impressive as the first film br br the queen is a very irritating character and instead of cheering with derek to rescue his mother you're hoping that the villain puts a spell on her voice box to stop her talking br br it is a shame because i really liked the first movie but it didn't live up to my expectations,negative +what often threatens to turn into a and soft headed drama about misunderstood middle class youth ends up a surprisingly and subdued movie by john his first though he had started in television directing among other things an earlier version of this script br br we are still in those semi when teenagers drove and were still james macarthur son of playwright charles and actress helen hayes and later to enter pop culture as hawaii 5 gets involved in a minor incident in a movie theater which to his throwing a punch at the manager and being down at the police station his dad james a big shot movie producer gets the call doesn't listen to his son's version of the story and pulls strings to get him off br br but macarthur keeps carrying a chip on his shoulder which even his sympathetic mom kim hunter can't knock off things in the canyon until macarthur trying to himself stages a of the original incident br br the movie doesn't quite avoid the attitudes – and cliches – of its time but presents them with considerable nuance every character gets an honorable hearing every point of view has its merits and reactions to the movie will depend on what viewers bring to it there are flaws the word crummy ' a standard rebellious of the era is used about 30 times too often but they're by strengths the movie benefits from a strong cast most notable among them the excellent character actor james gregory as a police detective and a non exploitative way of telling its story from a point in the new millennium the hot water macarthur finds himself in may seem a little tepid but the young stranger remains honest and honorable br br,positive +checking out is a very witty and honest portrayal of a bizarre family that happens to be jewish plays virtually no role in the film but american jewish culture behavior gets thoroughly sent up it a loving way i wish the movie dealt with the religious perspective on the topics it explores because i think that would have been interesting br br i've never been a columbo fan so i wasn't familiar with peter falk he's a lot of fun to watch it's great to see judge laura san david again why don't they work more they're all hilarious the script is terrific with a lot of memorable one liners i'll be sure to use with my own family watch for captain as the,positive +this covers just about every area of the creative process and goes through the three stages with the main focus placed on the production there are documentaries that go into more detail and cover the other two groups better this consists of artwork behind the scenes footage clips of the movie and many interviews with a running time that comes in at just over two hours the audience is entitled to a lot of information given that this is nearly the same length that the film itself is it could be that a lot of the time is spent on the people with the craft and the result of their efforts coming in second this is well done with tight editing it gets into the technology some and reveals how certain effects were achieved this spends a lot of time on the physical training in for the fighting and such you do get nice shots of the people crew and actors alike the ultimate matrix 10 disc set of this also holds nearly three hours of music in a simple system with individual track selection and a play all function about minutes worth of material in addition to the title itself in various the original release however has several very brief extras including clips of the making of the sequels a preview of the and tapes a complete run through of a couple of the biggest martial arts sequences with stunt performers and almost the exact cinematography with the same shots and angles of those bits in the finished silver screen effort the language is quite strong but rather nearly non existent i recommend either version of this to anyone who enjoys the concept and or wants to know about how they put the first one together 7 10,positive +the first time i had heard of guest house was in the er after having just seen fight club in each was a small round black circle when the circle came into contact with to put it it caused a colour picture to form with photographs of the two stars and the tag line you'll p yourself laughing when you'd finished your hands the circle had and faded to black again waiting to spring it's surprise on the next victim br br okay maybe the punchline wasn't terribly sophisticated but you have to admit it was innovative in fact i think i can honestly say i've never seen anything like it in my life before and these days of over a century of cinema and marketing that's a real feat what a pity the film that went with it failed to live up to the promise br br i hate to pan guest house and i am to richard and adrian eddie elizabeth for many years of laughter through their appealing television series be it the invention of the young ones 1982 1984 the sitting room plays of bottom 1991 1995 or even solo work such as in the new 1988 1993 in fact this would have made an hilarious 45 minute tv special unfortunately its an minute film br br there's definitely some merit to be had and i laughed continuously throughout the finale which the exorcist and of the lost and involved well you'll have to see that bit for yourself yet often the pace is and a atmosphere is throughout the two stars taking his usual this time due to the fact that he adequately directs never really get into first gear only showing the foul mouthed that makes us love him on the small screen indeed the that we are already familiar with the characters leads to them being to the audience the slight hints of depth seen in the series failed social climbing for example are not present here and instead we are left with parodies of parodies br br the towers does pass water complete with drunken chef and unseen called for which with some of the ideas such a hotel next to a nuclear with a swing hanging over a cliff face are very very funny but ultimately the frenetic pace is stolen the two constantly looking for a studio audience that isn't there and all the dead laugh areas up with incidental comedy music that would have been dated in a carry on film two decades ago br br brand of sadistic perverse humour is funny and i feel sure it will make you laugh just not as often as it should,negative +the consequences of love there is really something special about this film but it's very hard to put your finger on it is a love story of sorts but not really one i've seen before it has several love themes running throughout the film one mans love for a younger woman a younger mans love for his older brother the love of money at all costs these are just some that in a story that has you guessing or rather not knowing where and how it will end the cast are all superb from sophia the to the straight faced of the films central character with simple yet camera work off an ever changing soundtrack that mixes low fi trip hop with lush pieces the style of the film changes beautifully using several styles without ever getting love has never looked so diverse and powerful as the tales we are told towards various conclusions the director has married old and new into a rich italian classic,positive +it's quite an accomplishment that three stories filmed by three very different filmmakers could be simultaneously so insightful about gay sexual relationships and their struggles br br pool days is about the of and the mutual attraction between an older man and a younger one a story about experience and vulnerability br br a friend of dorothy portrays a common dilemma many gay and sexual people experience at some point in their life the intense attraction towards someone whom is examined this story truly left me feeling moved br br the disco years shows another version of a no win situation getting involved with someone who is not only confused about their sexual but is also terrified of being exposed as anything other than straight a very story for those of us who have experienced betrayal at the hands of a sexually confused and frightened person br br while these three stories will appeal to anyone who has an of empathy towards others they will psychologically those who consider themselves gay sexual or searching each story is uplifting in its own unique way,positive +i must admit when i first began watching this film i had no clue what was going on so the beginning was a bit confusing for me however that did not my enjoyment of the movie the characters reveal themselves to be more complex than they may first appear and that is what makes this a memorable film at first i heard this was a real hollywood movie although it obviously lacks the stereotypical guns and element the convincing performances of talented actors such as martin sheen and sam more than make up for it i'd rather see a film with more substance than shooting any day,positive +this movie was really bad plain and simple how a movie like this gets wide release is a wonder to me br br it's a decent idea but it just didn't flesh out edward burns is a decent actor though i liked his small role in saving private ryan br br let's get down to the big issue here br br the visuals were so incredibly bad i thought i was watching an old dinosaurs in 3d point and click adventure on windows 3 1 i mean i've seen cut scenes in games from pre 2000 that have better looking dinosaurs than this i mean heck the original tomb t rex looked better than this one br br the lizard monkeys were laughable i thought they were some sort of ripoff creation from killer instinct i've seen better puppet monsters now that i think about it br br you know there's a ton of made for tv movies that are better than this how does a gem like scifi channels the shining get such a small audience but this load of cgi easy to make 4 gets put out in the open i don't care if it's a ray story,negative +i saw that the was in the bottom 100 movie here on imdb so i wasn't expecting much when i tuned into it on the usa channel a week back but i did have hopes belly of the beast which aired a month ago was a mess but it had great scenery and photography and some pretty cool moments scattered throughout so i thought that this movie might have some of the same br br alas this movie fails the standards of basic watch ability in almost every way the screenplay comes off as the bastard of a john novel and a richard movie but done by people with none of those worthy talent for plot and characterization instead what we got is a mean spirited nest of muddled motives and back shootings and chest shootings and and this carries over to the directorial style which relies on hackneyed shot slow shots every 10 seconds along with wire work and jump cuts these devices that were stale 10 years ago when mtv directors used them for videos and the director works them like a punch press hoping to some weird art house thriller into the proceedings br br segal himself is just awful in this he spends the entire film talking in a half and between two expressions looking like he is sucking on a while someone waves a small turd under his nose or looking and he's so and vain about it that he never actually takes off his length on camera i understand that it's hard to keep the under control as a male actor ages although denzel washington and paul newman never seemed to have that problem but you deal with it by being honest about it and by growing as an actor not by hiding it with carefully chosen camera angles and floor length br br so i can't really tell what's going on and the movie doesn't give me a reason to care about what's going on and the protagonist is completely one dimensional and visually unappealing not a recipe for a good movie experience br br oddly most of the set designs and scenery are atmospheric and striking in fact if you were to freeze the film on almost any given scene that wasn't a close up of seagal you would be struck by the care and of the lighting colors and composition and by how beautiful the eastern european settings are but dressing up a rotten egg as a egg can't make it and the proceedings are rotten at heart br br there are movies like versus and there are visually striking but emotionally cold movies like underworld and there are paranoia conspiracy thrillers like the bourne identity and its remake with matt damon and then there is this thing which can't make up its mind what it wants to be pretends to be all these things and fails because it has no guts or soul br br this is a movie made by professionals with an actual budget so you can't really put it in the same class as killer or hobgoblins but i'd rather watch all three of those movies back to back several times than watch the again even once,negative +stan laurel regarded putting pants on philip as the first l h film the second hundred years was the first l h film but this was the one where stan completely himself not only to performing he had signed on with the hal roach studios as a director and man' before certain situations among them oliver accident with a leg of leading to stan having to replace him and the extra money that performing would provide for himself and his new wife lois brought about his historic return to performing as well as writing directing editing and involvement in other areas of production but also realised the fact that he was part of a team that worked well together this therefore is an historic and very important film in the history of comedy br br it is also a surprisingly funny little silent film rather different from what laurel hardy would become known for and from what they are more immediately associated with today the characters of ollie do not appear scottish stan laurel plays the nephew of oliver hardy a respectable man about town who is reluctant to be seen with this strange looking fellow with a and the habit of chasing pretty girls there are some very funny moments in this well made charming little movie and the performances of these two kings of comedy are spot on watch little and smile that says well know when he sees girls or the hair scene at the airport for instance hilarious br br watch this film if you can with backing music from the beau orchestra available on the video releases which enhances the 1920s feel and is very very pleasant to listen to it's a brilliant and underrated little film which is why i said it was funny,positive +joe whole act is profanity laced with he is a pot who entered fear factor thinking it was a joke he said he would egg people on because he did not know how stupid people were going to be the producers of the show he explained were going on the premise of playing pranks on unsuspecting contestants to see how far they will go the level of evil involved is a little twisted mr special is just filled with the of someone who is too good for regular human beings i found him to be offensive and his stuff can be heard by more talented comedians such as eddie murphy or chris rock even does a five minute set on the n word overall ignore this special,negative +open your eyes and the others were proof of talent and skill as a filmmaker but in my humble opinion were also flawed films in their attempt to the audience always offering one turn of the screw too many cheap thrills twists and turns over depth and lucky for everyone chose a subject for his new film that would not allow a surprise ending focusing on characters and the emotional ties that them br br the result is a little miracle of a film beautifully written photographed scored acted and directed everyone involved in this film delivers a high performance behind and in front of the cameras from the wonderful cast shines but mabel clara and lola give the film an amazing authenticity to exquisite br br the film on many relevant issues and emotions effectively it heart and mind with equal power and delivers a final punch that stays with you long after the credits roll this is a brilliantly executed film that not only will stand as a landmark in spanish cinema but will surely become a pleasant surprise when it opens in the abroad classics has paid a record 6 million dollars to it don't be surprised it it manages to get in the oscar race there's no stopping br br,positive +golden boy is in my opinion one the sleeper lost out there a sexy comedy about a young man quest to find his in life and he into all sort of odd jobs that somehow has this rather sexy girl who ultimately falls for him but he not really realizing it its truly something that you can easily miss if you at the name but once viewing it will fall for the comedy silliness that lies inside truly a crime that only produced 6 episodes and pilot movie were made however being unique as it is i'm surprised it survived to produce that many if you want a good laugh with high quality anime that is 100 cgi free check this anime out boy who one day may save the world or maybe not,positive +i found the movie kiss excellent carla performance was probably her best in her career her facial expressions in many scenes were unbelievably true to character and they were exploited to its best by director all actors and actresses were very good in their performances emma was as usual marvelous her acting are way above what would be required for this character so she actually enhances it in the movie br br the story although sometimes over intricate is kept entertaining and pointed towards the end very very good a movie not to be missed a story well and brilliantly directed quality of film excellent,positive +well sword in the moon finally got a dvd release in korea and despite the mostly negative i've heard to it and the dvd release i couldn't help but pick it up any wu film is better than most non wu films in my eyes d perhaps low expectations were an advantage because i was quite pleasantly surprised to find the film pretty enjoyable br br an assassin is killing a number of who were involved in a revolution that the throne and the top is with the this doesn't take particularly long but the answer is not one he wanted to hear through prolonged flashbacks we learn why and the history of the and the assassin and of the revolution br br the film is typically melodramatic for a korean film and serious in tone no hk style comedy moments to be found here the story can be a little difficult to follow at first but all makes sense eventually the film goes a bit at the end but no worse than a chang film might do and for the most part i found it enjoyable the production values are high with some good cinematography to capture it the fight scenes aren't up to the of the better hk wu films but perhaps they're not meant to be the fights are more realistic in that they're less like choreographed dance routines but there's some and occasional cgi that put the film in wu mode the film doesn't have the best cast unfortunately with the leads being a tad lacking in charm and occasionally difficult to from each other there's a young lady in the film that i don't think i've seen before but makes the best impression of any of the principle cast not just because you see her or perhaps it is p the film lacks the charm and grace of the better hk wu films and perhaps the beauty too but i only wish hk would make them half this good anymore twins effect 2 does not give me hope that that's about to happen any time soon though tsui surely still has it in him if he can get the funding and cast sword in the moon is not going to go onto my list of favourite wu by any means but it's a whole heap better than romantic warriors or legend of the evil lake perhaps better than too though i did like that film quite a bit more on a second viewing obviously it's nowhere near the wonderful but it's a different affair altogether really will probably get a second viewing within three years which is perhaps the best of how much i liked it 7 10,positive +starts as unemployed martin sanders hears something strange on his phone he hears a mysterious man talking to a prostitute named diana to meet her soon after martin reads a local paper sees the front page story about a prostitute being murdered thinks back to what he heard martin in his friends laura virginia aaron oliver but they don't believe him then shortly after the same thing happens again the phone call the man the prostitute her death reported in the papers martin decides he has to find the killer put a stop to his killing spree but who is it br br this production that was apparently shot in just eight days why so long on a budget of about 3 000 why so much was written directed by sergio i cannot believe some of the glowing comments has on the imdb out of user ratings as i write this of them rate this pile of crap 10 out of 10 i am sorry but there is no way anyone should be giving a film this bad a quite literally perfect score of 10 out of 10 if a score for a film on imdb is fixed then this is it i honestly don't believe that if you showed to average people that well over 100 of them would rate it as being absolutely perfect no way on earth the user comments are also amazingly positive all by imdb users who have only wrote comments for one film this the one user besides me who has actually written more than one comment gave it a rock bottom 1 out of 10 which sounds just about right everyone is entitled to an opinion but i would stake my life on the fact most of those positive comments are from fake accounts set up purely to big this piece of crap up where do i start how on earth can i adequately describe how bad is the plot is a mess that basically lives or dies by it's terrible twists while most twists turn a plot on it's head the perspective of everything that has gone before in a clever relevant way are genuine surprises here in the twists destroy the first half of the film makes it utterly pointless in a didn't actually sort of way the twist is so poorly handled that it leaves you asking more questions than it answers what made martin go mad why did he imagine the phone calls why did he imagine a killer why did he imagine the newspaper no explanation is given for behaviour during the first hour or so of the film there's just this absurd revelation that it was all in his mind that's it that's all the exposition there is then there's a plot twist about missing wife her lover before martin for reasons unexplained starts to kill his friends for no apparent reason i am sorry but is so bad it's so boring it's so badly written thought out that i honestly can't think of a positive thing to say about it sorry guy's but that's how i feel quite simply is one of the worst films i have ever seen is a complete mess both technically br br according to the imdb was hot in just eight days to be honest it doesn't feel like that at all nope it feels more like it was shot in five days the whole film is an has probably the worst shooting i have ever seen it's like no attempt was made to light the scenes it's like the makers just went into a dark room or basement or whatever just shoot the scene regardless of whether you could see anything the scenes set outside in the daytime have this horrible unnatural blue green to them for no apparent reason which just looks becomes increasingly irritating this strange is not repeated on scenes so they are also quite jarring noticeable there's no real horror or scares in fact i would say is more of a thriller than a horror as far as gore goes there are two decapitated heads in a a knife is stuck in mouth nothing else br br according to the imdb this had a budget of about 3 000 which makes one of the lowest budgeted films ever released surely some people think just because a film is low budget all reasonable viewing standards should go out of the window we should accept any old crap wrong to watch this on dvd you will still have to pay good money i personally think we have the right to expect some sort of good product if this can get released praised like it's oscar worthy then we can all release our holiday camcorder footage including embarrassing footage scenes of total as we forgot to take off the lens cap win top at the next cannes film festival the acting is awful although the female lead virginia is actually rather sexy helps ease the pain of the final twenty odd minutes as she features a fair bit br br is an absolutely terrible film seriously i beg you don't be fooled by all the fake positive comments there is no way anyone not involved in this or have some sort of agenda is going to give it a 9 or 10 out of 10 an amateurish mess that is truly horrible to sit through sorry but that's the way i see it sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind you have been warned,negative +i've watched a number of and sub extreme movies lately and have found a lot to like about them br br this movie seemed a lot more slight than all the others i've seen perhaps that's because this is a comedy horror movie rather than straight horror and perhaps it's also because the humor didn't register with me very well br br it's a little less than minutes long and the credits begin as the last ten minutes are beginning there are some goofs and behind the scenes stuff going on while those credits roll br br movies do tend to be short and tend to feel padded out in spite of that this is no exception with some scenes that tend to go on too long br br the story involves a poor kid in california who'd been picked on by all his classmates he'd had one shoe stolen and unable to replace it he was dubbed due to an obsession with pirates his parents gave him an for christmas with a christmas tree on the br br many of the classmates are killed and the few who remain gather together to decide what to do they're picked off one by one by who stalks around to the sound of br br the characters are pretty much all broad stereotypes like the nerd named etc there's an odd scene in which a kinky couple has sex the woman is and the man wears a large paper slice over his head this reminded me of some of the stranger sex scenes from director dream br br the picture quality is good and there are a lot of extras but basically a pretty silly movie br br oh well i guess you can never have too many christmas horror movies still there are a lot of other holidays,negative +i have to admit i am about my vote on this film but i have strong reasons as i know some of the true history that was given the hollywood treatment here novel upon which this is based is from an era where real names can't be used in a way this film is all smoke mirrors even though it was released in 1946 it was filmed shortly after casablanca ingrid bergman is at her most in this movie as a brunette br br she plays a beautiful woman who is trying to trade on her beauty to get a rich husband today that is a gold but in this social era she is the kind of woman who makes all the men want her all the old society types talk of her avoid her while wishing they were her ingrid is at her best plays this role well br br some sympathy for character is raised in the new orleans section of this film as she manages to get a decent tomb for her mother as part of the by her relatives to get her to leave new orleans the family of relatives there are so by her that they will do almost anything she asks to get her to leave town br br gary cooper is good in this film though he already appears to be aging a bit to play a dashing bachelor he pulls it off well considering that which he appeared older than he was due to his real life chain smoking as maid got nominated for an oscar as supporting actress in this film jerry austin as was over looked in many ways for his role but is the only comic relief in the film does it well br br when the film moves to it depicts accurately how important was in that era i like the sequence when bergman walks to the spring to get some of the water which everyone considered so healthy then when she drinks some she forces herself not to make a face and comments how good it is that she must have more br br the real history is the battle which really occurred on the line in tunnel new york which is the actual the film title is derived from this battle actually happened in between agents for andrew j p morgan the line was the economic key to the country in connecting coal country the east coast the references to it are throughout the film are very real there is even some dialog describing as a though the reference is vague unfamiliar to anyone not knowing the history around the battle br br the line the tunnel in tunnel new york code still exist although the film was shot in california the real tunnel is about 1 mile long it is still part of a key line today years after this occurred i grew up there gary line in the film while he is riding the train into the tunnel is right it is still mighty pretty country,positive +this movie is a gay love story disguised as a tale of and friendship not one review described this movie as a gay romance film and that's the weight of the plot i don't know if this was to trick people that would otherwise be to sit through it expecting the film to be as it was the film is out of touch with culture and culture and the acting is abysmal oh yeah the sucks too this movie was a clever way to hide the agenda of portraying young boys getting gay just look at the rest of the movies the director's been involved with all contain the same subject matter boring as hell not what i expected,negative +a long time ago way back in the early '80s a late night tv show came to abc trying to steal the away from badly listing saturday night live it didn't but it did introduce some sketches and semi talented comedians to the world like mark for example br br which in a way brings us to and hyde together again which is in ways all its own br br is about as subtle as a full of going off after and about as too this is just his drugged out character he played on the ill show stretched out to feature length and if you didn't like him there why are you reading this review br br any time it takes more than one or two writers to write a movie that's a bad sign then when it goes for headed jokes that would get you thrown off every stage in the western and gags with gross out things can only get worse br br a comic take on a robert louis stevenson story about as good an idea as making a sitcom out of fall of the house of br br aside from a few very few gags that give a slight grin this whole film is an exercise in waste wasted actors wasted film wasted opportunities br br no wonder they showed original author stevenson turning in his grave what more a review could they give themselves br br no stars no not even for armstrong who should have known better br br hyde from this one,negative +this film was great i love the way it mixes dark humor with drama there are times when you think there is no possible way you could laugh at the situation presented and yet you experience a surprising giggle it is wonderfully acted with great performances by weaver jeff daniels and it is well written with a stylish surprising ending i'm not one to say that everyone will like it as much as i did but give it a chance and rent it the dvd has great special features including full length by director dan harris and and one by weaver that give you interesting information about the film i hope my comment is helpful and that you enjoy the movie,positive +as i write this no user reviews are in yet but there are 17 votes with a 4 8 average so apparently some people thought this movie had its moments i didn't notice any and even if i had i don't think i could have stopped rolling my eyes for long enough to appreciate them br br a common debate among movie buffs is whether major mistakes in science police tactics and the like so common in b movies should detract significantly from one's enjoyment i tend to fall into the yes that's a reasonable reaction camp especially when the mistakes are central to the plot with this movie i look forward to reading how anyone can defend this mess they completely pretty much every aspect of military tactics and police tactics weapons science common sense and human behavior outside of b movies that is in short i can't think of any non trivial thing they got right br br any movie would have its work cut out for it when its central premise is a supernatural spirit to all small arms able to disappear into another dimension at will and yet apparently vulnerable to simply a bigger explosion they don't make ghosts like they used to combine this premise with every detail being wrong and you have a bad movie,negative +i generally love this type of movie however this time i found myself wanting to kick the screen since i can't do that i will just complain about it this was absolutely idiotic the things that happen with the dead kids are very cool but the alive people are absolute idiots i am a grown man pretty big and i can defend myself well however i would not do half the stuff the little girl does in this movie also the mother in this movie is reckless with her children to the point of neglect i wish i wasn't so angry about her and her actions because i would have otherwise enjoyed the flick what a number she was take my advise and fast forward through everything you see her do until the end also is anyone else getting sick of watching movies that are filmed so dark anymore one can hardly see what is being filmed as an audience we are involved with the actions on the screen so then why the hell can't we have night vision,negative +i am a fan of his this movie sucked really bad even worse than that movie was bad it was kind of like they popped it out in a week looked to be very low budget only like 3 or 4 buildings used a couple of locations maybe poor everything it just blew,negative +a swedish splatter movie has the world gone insane br br probably not but it's still not a common sight in these days with swedish gore flicks the b movie business in sweden seems to have troubles these days long gone are the golden days of i and this movie seems to have some troubles on its own it's just too much talk in it it still manages to be somewhat amusing mainly for the good fx which are great for a b movie the script and most of the acting is still pretty bad though but that actually don't matter that much it's supposed to be a gore flick and nothing more that's where it goes a bit wrong for some reason there's is simply not enough blood to fill the void br br every person who know about will have a good laugh over his role as a sgt though i nearly laughed my ass off it's really that hilariously bad br br besides the good parts i've listed there's really nothing else to recommend here unless you're for swedish b movies br br 4 10,negative +and is an outstanding production of george masterpiece it is done in muted colors the voices are outstanding although sidney voice is dubbed for his singing portion he gives a very touching performance there is a remarkable performance by sammy davis jr as life there is yet no dvd available for viewing and this piece begs for one all intelligent movie goers who enjoyed it in 1959 will appreciate the release of this masterpiece on the new medium the screen is filled with a dynamic presentation that rivals all other musicals including the outstanding ones by and be sure to ask for it an your video like songs of the south by walt disney it may be the of racial overtones that is the marketing of this cinema,positive +allegedly the true story of de the daughter of the catholic queen yes the same who expedition the film the progress and of her morbid obsession with her husband the philip of known as the handsome and played in a rather manner by italian hunk at his most and here this is a familiar story of late c early c intrigue betrayal and ripping it destructive lust from start to finish but while la succeeds in making cruel and ruthless cut throat intrigue entertaining to watch la just doesn't pull off it just ends up feeling like a big budgeted soap opera with below average lazy or over keen acting looks positively bored and de in the title role – though to be fair she may mature into a proper talent – just seems to be trying too hard switching back and fourth from two dimensional horny looking to teenage all the way through some of the supporting cast are ok with the exception of another italian pin up and beautiful but really no actress to speak of i couldn't in fact bring myself to feel any concern towards any character nor for that matter did i feel strongly in a negative way against any of the supposed villains what a waste of a substantial film budget this one sadly is just so and to other films in the genre rather than to its source material history for inspiration it seems to me that such a fascinating and complex historic era deserved a far superior film maker to evoke it,negative +three is a seriously dumb movie as a psychological thriller it's closest relative is the superior dead calm also featuring billy zane dead calm provided well drawn characters to root for in the form of sam neil and nicole parents attempting to re define their relationship on an ocean cruise they end up being by psycho killer it provided sharp increasingly suspense a scary feeling of in open as the cat and mouse game of life and death br br three suffers from poorly drawn characterisation the audience doesn't care what happens to any of them a stupid and unnecessary voodoo plot device a total lack of suspense or excitement and some hammy performances from the principal players zane in particular goes way over the top in an mannered fashion in dead calm he was menacing and with barely controlled sexual violence here he is slimy and and where does he get his seemingly supply of dry and and how come his lighter stays full of juice for over a year ms is very stunningly pretty but both her chest and rear appear to have been wildly over by some sort of life raft they do however succeed in acting with more skill and conviction than the rest of her dramatic actress in the sense of the term she is not the guy playing the voodoo the third of this sorry triangle could have been replaced by a of no one would notice in fact judging by his complete lack of ability to deliver dialogue in any meaningful or dynamic way represents a potential improvement in the casting stakes excuse pun br br plus sides the scenery is nice and the cinematography above and below the water is credible br br i'm guessing this had a very limited if any theatrical release or went straight to rental and dvd the reason for this is it's not very good if you want something decent along these lines get dead calm it was made by people who knew a bit about cinema,negative +synopsis in the year the rich are able to travel back in time and hunt a live dinosaur for a huge price catherine has developed a machine that can take people back in time charles ben kingsley has taken this technology and opened a business know as time anyone with the money can travel back millions of years and shoot a dinosaur dr travis edward burns leads his team together with the big game hunter on a floating to a spot where they can kill the dinosaur the trip is that they must stay on the and not the land or anything creature around them unfortunately for the human race one hunter steps on and kills a this insignificant act causes major to the climate and creates new species of animal life the course of evolution as we know it is now being changed by time waves travis and try to stop the changing process before it becomes permanent and man becomes br br comment the movie was a little slow and the concept of going back in time and changing things was a little overdone the death of a single causing the tremendous changes in the world's atmosphere and evolution is simply ridiculous they changed the of chicago to look modern but the new cars of the future were silly looking you can wait to see this fantasy on dvd warner brothers pictures run time 1 rated pg 13 4 10,negative +out of 15 people i this movie too no one finished it it was so awfully not good just awful she sits in a chair the whole movie she's in a closet the chair she's sitting is nice i can't think of anything more to say but 10 lines of text to print this up my friend nick thinks this is a great movie because he can give it to his friends and not have to worry about those calling him back he's passed it around as a gag movie for 10 years which is how i got it then i tried to get my friends to finish this awful awful piece of crap to no no one could finish it takes boredom to a whole new level they could use this in iraq instead of water please send copies bay cuba makes great gift,negative +i couldn't help but look at the time every 5 to 10 minutes because i found this movie a total drag childish humor cheap looking sets cheap looking effects a plot that makes blonde look like the usual suspects and so many that i can now officially say that robert rodriguez had brain surgery somewhere after 1996 the only thing he left as his trade mark are some cool camera moves but there's where it ends ok so the guy decided to do something new for a change a children's spy movie well if i were 12 i'd feel insulted the best thing in this movie is the absolutely amazing carla that just stole every scene she was in sadly there weren't many 4 10,negative +as a perfect day for ends with the suicide of a this movie opens with the death of the star high school legend matt who shoots himself in the head with a revolver after in the opening scene but the death of matt travis serves as a key to the door of another his brother tim who never in his life seriously bothered with the question what am i going to do br br when he finds his brother dead his head broken like a dropped the travis family starts out its secrets one by one the film focuses on tim he is a victim of bullying domestic abuse family alienation issues of sexuality and friendship br br tim reveals his wounds by physical but these are not the only to his person as we slowly come to realize as the script painfully the origins and outcome of tim everyone who loves him hurts him plays out the character quite well revealing frame after frame in the visual expression of his body a host of emotions inside the soul of a kid whom no one seems to listen to or know very well and unaware of his depth of soul and talent br br two siblings sharing a up on a red tim asks penny what am i going to do with the rest of my life the scene is framed in a familiar recurring image of the film the comfortable where tim obviously feels at home filmed from a eye view because with every character tim feels comfortable to share a part of himself and we view these intimate moments he shares in the red complete with childish in from above after him to pass the joint penny tells him tim well the secret to the success of life is to find something you love and you have to do that for the rest of your life … and you better hope to hell that you're good at it because if you're not then you'll probably fail this simple line of advice from penny serves as the movie's central theme the responsibility of talent and the possibility of failure why does one person have a talent he cannot stand like matt who hated the attention his swimming fame brought but no one notices talent – no one – because no one bothers to ask him not even us the film makes us aware that we ourselves do not know tim as well as we thought we did when we first meet this handsome sad guy in our intimate understanding of tim as it progresses we are reminded that not everyone is as they seem to be this is the other side of the film the failure of those who should – parents friends teachers – whoever – to notice and see the gifts of the people they claim to love not even his mother sandy played by weaver sees gift despite her love for her son weaver does a job of a middle aged woman with her own inner demons as she tries to play the roles of and support when tim is found to be at school she the boy's trailer threatening his life you can torture punch drive drunk with me i can forgive you hell i can understand it i'm a good christian you know i can forgive and forget but you mess with my kid and may god himself from heaven to protect you because as long as i live – and i will you all – i will wake up and go to sleep at night just dreaming of ways to make your petty insignificant lives into hell on earth after a paper cup into the mother's face she looks around the trailer and looking at them both the kid and his stunned mother comments nice trailer and leaves as quickly as she came weaver scores in her ability to match gusto with visceral wit that is acid and witty and father played by jeff daniels is blind to who his son is treating him like a stranger not telling his family that he took time off from the office spending his days in the city park a out soul and sleeping in bed in with his high school letter jacket jeff daniels does a superb job of making us believe that he can be both a bastard and lovable because we grow to see that even an inept father can show his love for his son in an emotional scene tim confronts his father just when you think his dad is going to hit him he grabs for him to embrace him not letting him go he tells tim i am your father and you're are my son and i'm here okay but you've gotta talk to me i don't know how to do this by myself it is here at this moment in the film that a father tells his son you have to tell me what's going on inside of you you have to tell me who you are i want to know who you are it is in this scene that the film reaches a moment the visual movement from tim angry and alone to his father him as he breaks downs and revealing the emotions hidden beneath his shell tim experiences this moment of with his dad as a especially when you consider the manipulation disregard violence and betrayal he has been dealt in the long year the film i recommend this film,positive +if anyone has any doubts about the talent of just a look at his new film everything is which clearly shows a man that is not only one of america's finest actors but a new director whose first effort is indeed an inspiration and a of what is to follow mr has adapted the novel by jonathan into a film that will live forever because of the way the director has adapted the material the film clearly our expectations since we had no ideas br br for those who haven't watched the film perhaps you should stop reading here br br jonathan is a collector his love for his grandparents is he watches as his grandfather dies and as his grandmother is on what appears to be her death bed on a clear moment this dying woman gives jonathan a picture and an for his collection watching the photograph taken a long time ago a young couple are seen together watching makes jonathan think it shows the grandfather and his girlfriend taken on happier times watching the seems to be the motivation for this intense young man to go looking for his past in the br br jonathan has made with a travel agency of for his trip to the mythical place where his grandfather came from the agency is handled by an older man who claims to be blind and his alex a man who loves the pop american culture that has captured his imagination as well as his in the country alex speaks a kind of english no one speaks and his conversation and translation for benefit are hilarious to our ear for the use of sometimes english terms the old man insists in taking his dog sammy davis jr against the wishes of jonathan who doesn't want to sit next to the and animal during the trip br br as they in search of it's clearly that his companions especially the old man has no clue where he is going at this point the film becomes a road movie as the three characters riding the back roads of the country become more with one another as the trio arrive at the field with the house at the end it they have indeed come to the right place some places are a clear reminder of the conflicts of the past br br the older woman living in the isolated place is the missing link of the story she is able to put things into the right perspective but here is where the story changes its emphasis from jonathan who clearly has come to the land of his to the old man we watch as this older man starts remembering things about himself this in turn changes the dynamic of the film as we discover how connected jonathan and his have been all the time br br some criticism in these pages have expressed opinions about the accuracy of the story which after all it's a work of fiction and liberties have been taken it would have been impossible to make another film including so much that is contained in the book the great way the film is divided into different chapters is a clever way to let the viewer know what's about to be seen br br wood a magnificent film actor does an excellent work by jonathan mr wood makes one of his best appearances in any film with his interpretation of the main character the casting of eugene as alex the tour assistant and seems to be an idea made in heaven mr is about the best thing in the film his usage of english gives the film a funny angle that the viewer boris as grandfather and driver of the tour car makes a valuable contribution to the film as well as who is seen in the last part of the movie br br the excellent cinematography of matthew brings the of the czech countryside in all its the musical score by paul is heard in the background the film in ways that it adds a to the movie br br above all this is a triumph for the first time director that will surely go far in whatever he decides to do next,positive +this was on showtime the other night and i figured it was going to be another made for video crap fest like earth vs the spider or any of those other hbo horror shorts instead i found a comedy gore classic it was funny and surprisingly the acting was quite good even my wife an overall horror agreed and was laughing at parts in addition the fx were high quality br br overall the film felt like a parody of joy ride and the 2 main characters reminded me of the pair from shaun of the dead definitely worth watching but don't take it seriously br br the end,positive +one your screen will be filled with beautiful effects and colours these do nothing for the story but they will keep your lazy eyes occupied for some 50 minutes a good example is the eternal use of a computer screen that shows each from the as that print is compared with the one they want to find out about yeah right br br two these guys being like real professional pros they will engage each other in intriguing pro talk look these are what we call everybody has them and they are different on each person so with these we can actually find br br exactly like real pros would talk to each other if there wasn't a completely and stupid audience around br br however not everything about this show is bad some stories work to some degree and the colours are really beautiful they use red blue green yellow all of them colours i've loved since,negative +it's amazing to think that this movie came out only one year before star wars but seems a million years behind it in sophistication and special effects actually the art direction and set design nice victorian space ship aren't bad it's the monster costumes that are the most laughable resembling the guy in a rubber suit monsters from the lost in space tv show the evil cave man makeup reminded me of some of the aliens from ancient twilight zone reruns br br the script is stilted and outside of peter comic relief the acting is pretty miserable too this movie is only recommended if you really enjoy bad sf and the music a horrible 70s experiment with that doesn't fit the time period of the film and which sounds like someone rambling with a and a 2 track tape machine,negative +viewers of independent films know that once or twice a year they are going to see stories about dysfunctional families and they have come to expect them and it's becoming more of a challenge to keep them fresh but here despite the good cast it just seems more of the same story is about the travis family who is trying to recover from the suicide of matt who was a very promising high school ben jeff daniels is the father who from everyone and has never treated his other son tim as well as matt but he does communicate of some sort to his mother sandy weaver who finds his of pot and starts to smoke it br br spoiler alert sandy also starts to with much younger men like the check out at the store but when she attempts to buy more marijuana she gets and off to jail she doesn't tell anyone what happened but she does discover on body and also that ben has taken a leave of absence from work after all this happens sandy falls ill and lands in the hospital where her life is in danger which forces ben to realize that he may have to come to terms with losing another part of his family br br this film is written and directed by dan harris who has worked with bryan singer on and also the upcoming superman film and while his script allows these characters to have genuine moments of expressing their pain and confusion the story for me just has too many things thrown in the script touches on so many different areas that you need a to keep track of them all including drugs sex love infidelity abuse neglect with homosexuality and a life threatening illness if all those scenarios weren't enough for you harris then on a plot twist at the end that's supposed to sum up and explain most of everyone's feelings towards tim while i did roll my eyes at least 2 or 3 times with the way the script kept one thing after another i must admit that i didn't hate this film and i have to credit the actors for that everyone has at least one good scene somewhere in the film but i wish the story would have concentrated more on weaver and her character than weaver is exceptional and with a script she could have had a role that maybe would have led to an oscar nomination but instead we get endless scenes of at parties or his with the neighbor next door harris shows he can be a good writer director but with this effort he just throws so many different things at the audience that the material just becomes and contrived,negative +so the are now knocking off american horror flicks but they are doing so with style doll master is a close copy of and dolls and even has a little child's play going for it several young adults are invited to attend a special event at a gallery filled with dolls only to find they are targets of a vengeful spirit the dolls come to life and do some pretty nasty things to the kids the gore level is reasonably high the photography and set design and production values are first rate the acting isn't all that bad and the scares are definitely there doll master may not be in the same league with a tale of two sisters or even dead friend but it's close give it a watch you won't be disappointed,positive +probably the worst movie i have ever seen it is so filmed the focus is not even on this supposed real half it is more on the crew coming from hollywood to make the movie no cinematic significance whatsoever and if i could take back the almost 1 1 2 hours that i spent watching this film i would feel much better br br at first it starts out giving you the impression it will be filmed somewhat like an actual hollywood production however then they go into the narration of the story and it's filmed so f ing terribly it's supposed to be a take on blair witch project really since they pretty much use what you would think is camera it's not don't be fooled br br worst movie i have ever seen on the positive side it has like one semi scary scene in it and the visuals of the half weren't too bad looking at all don't rent,negative +the most remarkable thing about talk radio is how bad it is the voices all have a phony reading from a script ring to them an evening with an annoying at a dallas radio station is told with the of a glimpse into hell stone tries for an existential revelation and gets comedy instead whenever a makes a profound empty point about something stone the camera at one of his character's face as they are stricken with some traumatic realization that is never revealed to the audience overacts throughout in one of the most irritating performances ever onto celluloid underrated classic give me a break,negative +been is a real feel good film if you haven't seen it yet then rent it out i am going to buy it when its released because i loved it drew barrymore is excellent again she plays her part well i felt i could relate to this film because of the school days i had were just as bad i thought the plot was well written there was comedy and romance which are the type of films i love i loved the ending because even though you know what's going to happen it still leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat waiting,positive +the second live action outing for is far better than the glued together elements of ten different stories that was called the first film instead staying fairly close to the original comic br br in a nutshell queen has made a bet with to build a palace in egypt to show that the are a great people royal architect seeks the help of and to complete his task there are several laugh out loud moments some jokes that only the french might get at the 35 hour week while others that are more universal the big budget special effects are spectacular but overshadowed by the jokes from the original comic br br depardieu and still work brilliantly as a pair while monica makes perfect casting as also for fans of the comics the hilarious pirates get a look making up for their absence in film 1,positive +is one of the best releases ever br br better than this game well star wars rogue star wars episode i and the legend of of time are far better and superior games but i still love br br this is the best adaptation from a movie second only to star wars adaptations the story is perfect it's like you are in the movie itself br br the graphics are excellent the movements are extremely realistic the artificial intelligence are the best part in this game i loved playing the stage in which james and break from the base as the to burn it escaping without sounding an alarm was very difficult cameras and controlling your fire are great aspects in the br br it's also the game i've ever played games are usually very very easy is the one exception i'm still trying to beat the 00 agent difficult level but winning the easier levels was already a great victory i loved when alec asked for england james i answered no for me it happened just in the moment i him to death just like in the movie i love every objective br br the is even better at first i got killed every holy second now i know how to win i love forcing my by playing at license to kill br br the music and sound are astounding super mario 64 looks like an next to this the only thing i still wanted to hear was the theme song that plays at the end of the movie br br after was released i nearly forgot i still had this game it's still excellent even if it's already i hope other games are produced br br fantastic job was very smart to release this game on the exclusively magnificent job,positive +i saw this only because my 10 old was bored he and his friend hated it but of course liked being at the movies this is the first time i've strongly with ebert in many years there is not a single thing to recommend this film willis is good as always but the story stinks is unbelievable there is no real story no action no interesting cinematic sequences no surprises and worst of all the child star is a thoroughly repulsive slug guaranteed to turn off any parent who does not have a fat for a kid by all means stay away and spare your child unless you want to him or her there is no excuse for such lousy directing or writing and one hopes these filmmakers will suffer,negative +an interesting and involved film about a just trying to live out his days elements of the main character appear in michael later films like thief 1981 heat 1995 and so on you can see this one at the media laboratory one of the only places in the country that has copies readily available to the public it's a great one,positive +this has been one of the best vampire movies that i have seen in a long time it was very seductive and i liked that it did not have the usual gore and carnage that comes along with most vampire movies the music was excellent it would be great if there was a sequel,positive +in spain the former sailor has been for twenty eight years and is fighting in court for his right of practicing through an association that the freedom of choice and by his friend clara is introduced to the lawyer that is defending his cause julia who has a fatal disease and meets lola a lonely worker that has been abused by men their relationship changes the behavior and viewpoint of life of and julia br br the is in my opinion one of the best contemporary directors his filmography released in brazil is composed by excellent and original movies los the others and is probably the best actor in spain in the present days their association produced this sensitive drama about a very theme the right of committing this drama is never corny or since the screenplay uses humor as a in the most dramatic situations the performances of the cast are perfect with characters having and defending different positions regarding this unpleasant theme the dialogs and lines are very solid and intelligent i noted in imdb plot outline that this movie is based on the real life story of unfortunately neither the movie nor the dvd gives this important information my vote is nine br br title brazil sea inside,positive +i found the first bit of stop motion animation intriguing and the mostly live action short with the girl going about in whatever country it was kept my interest but the other 11 odd shorts really didn't my interest or make me think of anything at all the music and footage all seemed to be so random that it all just seemed random i would not recommend this to any one unless you get to see it free br br as for the music being so in step that didn't come across either i rented the dvd because i thought it was all stop motion animation or mixed with live action and only the first short was the second had a little stop motion mixed with mostly live action there was paper cut out stuff in one and the rest was shots from an camera with the music bed just didn't have any meaning to it i could see,negative +i somehow managed to make it all the way through this movie but was by the complete lack of entertainment delivered my friends and i are fans of hk film but wow this movie has it all and by all i mean everything a movie shouldn't have underdeveloped and stereotyped characters way over the top overacting cheesy special effects talking robots no less than 20 double foot impossible situations unfunny gags and jokes school premise mindless killings and too long running time for the material throw in the fact that gen x cops was a decent film and this movie becomes even harder to bear quite simply if you're entertaining the idea of watching this film don't,negative +well br br first of all as many reviewers have pointed out this is a rip off of the martin story first represented by the bbc and by the john film the general which is a great film and far far superior to this one br br speaking as a native british person the supporting cast to kevin spacey was really good in terms of british and irish acting talent especially peter but it was totally wasted the characters were c p and as for kevin spacey didn't come across as a rogue but as nothing really substantial or significant br br not a lot to redeem this film the best bits are the gags and tricks from the other films it rips off compare notes on this film and the general i'd be interested to see what others think br br,negative +largely forgettable tale in which travel into the jungle in search of missing sister br br despite its connection to the cannibal movie family this film is more of an extreme version of crime of the century clearly aims to exploit the at that time massacre by depicting a rogue self righteous with a for and just a hint of played with ruthless intensity by leading his crew flock into self inflicted oblivion with sister in toe attempt to stop the but after several failed they end up fleeing into the green only to run the locals and their notorious br br one in a string of excessive gore that emerged in the late seventies early eighties where every new addition seemed to engage in a one contest with its predecessor by attempting to the most gory and graphic display ever brought to motion pictures this inferior employs all the and gimmicks of the others but with much less success br br was it the so called natives who looked like they were bollywood rejects this film was made on location in or the inept and scenes that seriously the authenticity that was apparent in cannibal holocaust you can decide without spoiling the conclusion it appeared as though put more emphasis in his shock and awe climax than in the basic for a cohesive ending where all loose ends are resolved most unsatisfying br br as with the others where the extent of the graphic depictions of violence toward humans is limited thankfully the filmmakers have no extreme in the worst possible cruelty on hapless animals in their pursuit of the most sadistic shocks unfortunately the only thing shocking about this film is that it rates a mention among others of the that deal with the subject matter more convincingly br br if there are any features at all is an if somewhat one dimensional leading man and his of scantily clad co stars and provide some visual from the relentless,negative +because this is yet another dead one lifeless voice acting second rate animation contrived and un funny songs although the bit sung by the devil would have been worthy of tim and a weaker plot than land before time 99 on parade br br i have to admit i haven't seen the first film i'm not a big fan of movies involving heaven or dogs especially not in combination still i hope to see the first one soon as there had to be a reason someone would create such a god awful sequel br br if i didn't get this movie for free i wouldn't have it at all for a flick the only good thing in this was the devil 2 10,negative +this plot had more holes in it than an simpson br br i noticed two star trek references in the movie and yet br br ironically we have a lead character played by andy garcia br br who is the of the philosophy of the br br needs of the many the needs of the few or one br br let's just say that while trying to save his son from cancer he puts most of the rest of san francisco at incredible risk michael keaton's character is almost as br br unrealistic as well he to kill at numerous opportunities and yet is when garcia his br br attempt to kill a bunch of cops at once the child's doctor remains in charge of her even after been br br held hostage several times in a short of time but br br put her on a wide 5 stories up and she loses it br br andy child is something of an in this br br movie he is the most sympathetic and real character one of the movie's bright spots he furthermore a line that must have been the result of regarding fighting cancer that parallels keaton's motivation to escape all in all the movie was not a br br complete waste see from to dawn 2 texas blood money br br for that but disappointing considering the talent on hand,negative +columbo is guest for a class the students invite him along for their after class get together the nearby parking garage they discover their regular teacher next to his car dead from a wound no columbo was not after the man's job as a class project columbo involves the students in his br br two students identified by the viewer as were in the lecture hall for the entire class furthermore camera tapes of the parking garage show that no one other than the professor entered or left after he was last seen unexpectedly the lecture hall br br the normal routine columbo is the one that is by the evil duo eager for progress reports and an ear for their theories evidence is almost nonexistent solution of the case on some eventual and interesting good luck br br on first viewing it seemed that columbo had whole the however on repeat viewing small details revealed that not to have been the case at all br br this reviewer has yet to tire of columbo goes to college,positive +i found the movie very interesting i really enjoyed the film the actors were great it was entertainment benny the uncle was wonderful he was real at his character the ending took a wonderful twist i would recommend you seeing it eddie girlfriend reminded me a little of sandra she was sharp as a nail i also like the little girls acting in the movie she was very convincing benny reminded me of a friend of mine who really lives his life growing up in brooklyn i loved the scene where he the in the pot because thats how most people cook lol i actually watched the movie 2 times and learned more the second time,positive +i never thought a movie could make me regret the fact that i to the hbo service now i know better jack is usually one of my favorite actors but not even he could rescue this part not that he tried jack plays his usual of type character unfortunately it doesn't transfer over to the american he is about as believable a cowboy as pee wee herman there is no edge to the performance and for that reason the comedy fails he is almost to goofy the remainder of the cast was worse timing in delivering lines is apparently something that the leading lady had not as of 1978 and the others appeared to be just happy to be there my recommendation to those of you interested in seeing this movie is that you save your valuable time for something like watching paint dry,negative +this movie shows what you can create if you have a camera some spare paint and cardboard a toy ship a few friends who acted in community theater and the incorrect notion you can make a film the end result is an unwatchable time that you'll skip through unless you take it out of the dvd player and toss it through the window first br br the acting in the opening scene especially by the lee morgan as and the toy ship crashing into the rocks before the credits is a good of what you're in for with all the it looks like this special effect was shot in a kitchen sink i guess figured he save some cash by the at the same time in terms of bad cinema the funny thing is of seems to have inspired maybe by coincidence the twist ending of the hands of fate yep it's the same lame i was the victim and now i take the mad place ironic ending the bigger irony is that two inept talentless filmmakers could make two equally wretched texas filmed horror movies and get away with it br br nerd russ harvey is a noble in a great family line why they were great is never boring us while the death of his family line and before his ship even crashes we're also treating to a narration throughout the film sadly we aren't so lucky his family's toy ship crashes into some in a sink and he's washed with his captain and some woman conveniently on a mad island br br meanwhile the count is visited by an evil spirit who dressed in a magic outfit him with various puppets snakes bats all the stuff the count william overacts worse than shatner and has a difficult time keeping a straight face through the typical madman br br i'd be mad too if i had to be in this disaster the woman is promptly killed by the dogs and the two are captured by his the count them of being pirates apparently his worst fear he his around a lot apparently his greatest joy gets tortured there's a woman who's a servant and one who's a nurse the rotting in a wedding dress in the she the nerdy noble and is the only effective creepy thing in the movie a lot of inane dialogue at a room table the captain gets killed while making a pathetic to watching a battle a pack of lions it's all an ugly to me i spent most of my time on the fast forward button br br anyway the jerk noble and nurse make a and think they're going to be rescued by three guys in a on the lake yeah we're supposed to believe a lake is the ocean they don't since the hair turned gray and he scares the would be away honestly i think they simply took the opportunity to row away from this hideous film while the had the chance they head back to the castle the nurse starts rotting like the and your stomach by this time and we end with these two getting ready to into the of br br i love old lousy horror films but they must have some sort of entertainment value i feel ripped off even at the low low price of 5 99 for this mystery science theater would have a tough time making this one fun i was taken in by a few nutty reviewers who claimed this film had atmosphere and some creepy moments wrong avoid this tripe at all costs and don't even waste a buck if you find it in a dollar bin somewhere this movie makes the terror like like a masterpiece of horror and atmosphere,negative +i stumbled across this film while channel surfing and was blown away it was being broadcast on a lesser known short films program here in australia br br it has been a long time since i have been so impressed by a film especially one so short br br the power of the story the quality of the acting and the stunning cinematography wow if it were available it would make a very worthy addition to my dvd collection br br i am undoubtedly impressed and i will look forward to joshua next film br br an exceptional experience 10 10,positive +an look at the relationship between and the space time this film the and laws and there relation to theory of general br br the film is directed exposing details of the man as well as his work black holes interviews with his family are a little too long so sadly there is less development of his theories and ideas br br a philip glass soundtrack superbly the film only one other man could such haunting jean michel br br overall i would highly recommend this movie on the basis of of and his adequate explanation of an event horizon,positive +nurse charlotte the lovely has arrived to dr clinic for the insane prepared for a new job what she doesn't expect is to find another supposed doctor in his position after is attacked by axe wielding judge oliver w cameron in a running gag anytime he confronts a situation out of his control he to repeating his name that doctor is masters who isn't sure about whether is a proper fit for their establishment after a long discussion about the position which is quite an awkward scene as the two debate about being sent a letter by getting a job at the clinic with masters often reminding her that he is no longer in charge masters agrees to let her work in the position but the good doctor may not be who she seems br br the assortment of includes sam bill a simple minded child man who was last victim of jennifer warren a woman who needs an adult to comfort her as she at like a puppy danny jessie a trouble making annoyance often trying to steal the fake baby of disturbed harriet betty chandler a sexy who just wants to be loved and at any man she sees sergeant hugh your typical case of soldier who hasn't escaped the madness of war br br the film shows methods of running the clinic with allowing the patients to free with the doors to all rooms without locks calling into question and not to mention the fact that oliver is still allowed to walk around despite just dr with an axe and what exactly happened to dr ah ha br br tacky 70's drive in trash is a lot of fun if you are into a brand of cinema i'm attracted to bizarre flicks about mental rejects because of their unpredictable nature you just never know what the hell might happen especially in this case where they are allowed to often some consider the low budget a but in the case of this film i think it enhances the experience with the cheap photography and weak production values being shot for in a run down house in some awful location it seems and i felt like a into insanity through a camera lens on the outside looking in,positive +this film gave me probably the most pleasant surprise of any i've ever seen it was not a big budget production and its premise middle age amateur jazz musicians get an unexpected professional engagement at a like resort seems rather modest what's not modest is the film's success this is a little slice of life movie that is most entertaining throughout director frank d also wrote the script and it's full of interesting subplots and unexpected twists br br the actors are who do a solid job the biggest revelation to me was little he plays a professional musician who is hired to fill in for an band member his attitude immediately with the others while they see it as an opportunity for big fun and a once in a lifetime thing he sees it as his job and not a particularly interesting one this leads to conflict but when the group gets in trouble he them through little who died too young really showed me he was a fine actor with this film br br this movie is a true sleeper the kind that a film fan always hopes to discover i recommend it,positive +filmmaker bryan forbes who once displayed a light touch with material such as down the wind and the original wives completely out here not only is his direction inept he also adapted sidney early novel the results are atrocious roger moore plays a psychiatrist framed for the murder of one of his patients rod chewing the scenery is a hot under the collar cop it's easily his most embarrassing performance the only actor here to exhibit some life is elliott who knows a thing or two about a bum script bland choppy and produced on the cheap no stars from,negative +once described rival composer work as having some wonderful moments and some awful quarter hours it seems can also be described this way it has many great episodes but in between them are countless filler episodes the entire series consists of about episodes of which i'd say at least are filler or some sort of subplot i didn't bother to count and i wouldn't be surprised if that number were in fact higher though br br some of these filler episodes are actually quite enjoyable though many are quite silly or dull nonetheless the constant start to wear thin after the first few seasons as the plot ends up at a crawl for most of the series character development too slows down greatly and by the later seasons the cast has become quite resulting in increasingly stale jokes particularly those concerning the monk who's ironic traits start out as mildly humorous but grow tiresome when the jokes associated with them appear repeatedly br br however all of that isn't to say that is a bad series it just isn't a great series the way for example is generally considered to be as something to watch at the end of a hard day it is nice but it could never be confused with high art,negative +i didn't read the book scarlett and when i watched this mini series i enjoyed it very much and thought it didn't need to be compared to the story may from the book but who cares its a movie even in the credits its based on the book its not the book the film is clearly under appreciated with the reviews that other people write but can't even spell the main characters names right br br the acting in scarlett i thought was superb and timothy dalton were excellent they took the characters and gave them there touch now as far as other people go by they compare them to the great vivian leigh and clark gable they obviously did fantastic but the leads in this film are completely different people who have there own acting methods and shouldn't be of what people have to say if you wanted certain actors to do well then you should have directed the film i'm sure that other actors would not do as well as these with the chemistry and they brought to these roles the supporting cast stood out with there and jean smart steals the scenes that in with her comedy genius br br the locations in the film were very beautiful and it was just grand to see scarlett go to all those places in the film as she causes trouble and other things also the scene in which scarlett talks to her grave it was very dramatic and i thought from then on that there were two great actresses who brought scarlett o'hara to life not just vivian leigh but also br br the film and the book may but you must not take to heart that this is a sequel to one of the best films ever made otherwise you will think that this has to be like gone with the wind and you will not like this film but this is an under rated classic that is unlike its its own movie also keep in mind that tomorrow is another day,positive +especially considering i can count on one hand the romantic comedy films i have ever enjoyed br br driver is very good as the heart transplant patient who has a mysterious connection to recently deceased wife i can think of several awful films which have used this story line i think there was an movie with jane seymour this film however is a keeper br br duchovny is sympathetic and the scenes with his dog are cute and sad the dog misses his deceased wife all of his friends want him to find a replacement and there is an amusing scene where he is on a blind date and driver is the waitress his date is horrible and he finds himself intrigued by driver br br is also good in one of his last roles as the grandfather bonnie hunt and james belushi this is the only film i have liked him in round out the comedy aspect of the film br br this is a good film because the story works it is not overly romantic and does not insult the audience's intelligence highly recommended 9 10,positive +this is one of my favourite films dating back to my childhood set in the remote wilderness of at the turn of the century a small community is when an extremely cold winter forces two to come down from the mountains in search of food on in this atmosphere we are introduced to a fur who lives out in the as he comes to the village to sell his catch to boris his close and rather only friend in the village who runs a store at request his friend's arrogant son on the hunt for the menacing personalities crash and as the older more experienced amateur methods an encounter noticed also by the other members of the hunt on the second day the hunters sight their prey and give chase in a thick wood wounds one of the which then attacks the hapless man seeing with the beast fires but hits he kills the tiger as it the other hunters arrive on the scene suspicious br br back in the village the doctor works to save the wounded attempts to leave the village but is confronted by friends the them off however and off with his dog drawn the young villagers swear after him that they'll come for him if dies which he later does but before dying explains to his father that it was an accident old boris upon learning of his close friend being run out of the village out the gathering lynch mob and goes out after to find him and set things right and so the main story begins br br a simple film it raises the conflict of man and versus nature mainly struggle to survive alone out in the wilderness the winter landscape is very well filmed perhaps the strongest element in the film is the soundtrack by very sentimental and the main theme reminiscent of other movements reflect russian styles as well as a couple of folk music type tunes br br unfortunately this film is not available to buy to my knowledge which is rather a shame the copy i own recorded off tv nearly twenty years ago is slowly this film is a must see for those who can appreciate it if they can find it 8 10,positive +i agree with some of your comments but i have to disagree on a couple of things first this film is nothing like the cars that ate paris not imho nothing like it br br i think the film had elements of but i think the basic approach of the film maker is not per se therefore its not really like cars paris i think more like a weird euro work with some scenes bearing the hallmark of not surreal br br secondly i think the music by is brilliant they used that old sound from country and western records and its better than most aussie films which usually team the film maker up with a dumb sounding band that the company wants to push br br as for the name of the film i don't know why it's called modern love i was kinda hoping for david to appear dressed in drag and i'm starting to show my age,positive +i am surprised that there is confusion over the title of this film quite obviously it is an investigation into the nature of modern love it is suggesting that love is love while the going is good but one in which people the right to put themselves first and if the going gets tough they get out and go onto something else br br this observation has as it is coming from generation x makes comment on generation x and in the end is aimed at generation x it expresses disappointment that love has transformed from that which the baby the parents of generation x had in their and family lives and which gave generation x the innocent and childhood it ultimately enjoyed br br the generation x attitude to love is of course but as decisions are made and are broken the biggest are the children of generation x this is made clear at the end of the film and was so i took a week to recover from the shock i received from this,positive +horrendous comedy in which a beautiful crazy woman tyler destroys the lives of three men matt dillon paul reiser and john goodman dillon hires a hit man michael douglas to kill her what is happening to comedy the year 2001 has produced some of the worst comedies ever saving silverman sugar and spice freddy got etc etc this is one of the worst there's not one repeat not one funny moment in it the jokes are either stupid unfunny or real sick also there's a strong hatred of women in this garbage the only main female character tyler is constantly used as a sex object also extreme bloody violence is thrown in at the end the only bearable moments come from as a psychiatrist and andrew clay in two roles both dillon goodman and reiser have hit an all time career low with this the only way to go is up and poor tyler she quit doing intelligent independent films for this and douglas what was he on when he agreed to this an utter piece of crap to be avoided at all costs,negative +for late 80s cheese this really isn't so bad there are a lot of pretty funny throwaway one liners that was grand thanks and madonna gives a fine performance nothing award worthy here but that goes for as well as oscars i'm curious to know if the movie would have been better received if she had used her regular pre british influenced speaking voice rather than the hyper accent used instead oh well as a side note i got to meet one of the actors who played one of the motorcycle cops through my work he said that it was a fun film to work on but gave me the sad news that the actor who played buck the ups delivery guy died about a year after who's that girl,positive +wow it's even better than i expected the best animated movie ever and it feels so good to hear roger doing the voice of again i surely recommend it to everyone who likes the comic books of but i suggest that you go to see the french version cause it surely is the best and you hear the original cast did you know that roger has played for nearly forty years i think he did a marvelous job and the song from at the end fits good to the end credits the music is good the drawings are good the actors are wonderful in a word a masterpiece go to see it you will not regret this,positive +finding the premise intriguing and reading the reviews and being an angel fan i watched this movie it's sexy and original and quite entertaining david is keith he's a hunky married man stay at home dad and he feels a little in his marriage he makes the mistake of a close circle of teenage girls who are fascinated with the idea of doing it with an older man they'll do anything to get into his bed including beg lie and blackmail but they mostly try to push his buttons the that ensues sends keith and pushes friendships to the edge david shows a little skin in this one and he's looking hot yes he plays a sleazy cheat but he shows enough vulnerability and toward the goofy teens that you end up cheering for him in the end one more thing when someone oh yeah oh oh yeah it's hard to see them as a victim of rape,positive +this has to be the best movie of all time in my opinion it really taught me when i watched when i was 10 in 2000 that the freedom of a being a child slips away sooner then we expect it to also joseph has to be my favorite actor ever and i think that him and wood did a great job in the roles of brothers this movie is quite sad and some people don't understand the ending but the story itself is quite incredible the thought of a poor 7 year boy bobby getting abused by drunken step father is horrible and what the two boys do about this is sad and important my favorite part of the movie is when tom hanks older mike lists the 7 things of being a kid that are lost to the world however there are some parts that could have been done better in this movie such as the casting of the mother who i think is a horrible actor the king played his role well since it is a hard role to play joseph and definitely were the stars of the movie i couldn't believe how well they played victims of a being the age that they were 7 and 9 but overall i recommend this movie to anyone who loves great child actors and a great movie,positive +morris and had been the of broadway in its at ninety morris is a widower he his sons the and the car dealer and his daughter the television writer producer to attend a party in his honor after which he will himself literal minded creatures that they are they take what he says at face value he leads them his and some others including an african american jewish psychiatrist reminiscent of on a merry chase through manhattan as they try to stop him or him br br the comedy totally works the performances are excellent peter falk is in top form this film does more than deserve an audience it deserves popular success,positive +the world may never know the film that did take the best animated short oscar that year anna and is very good but it's no big both are available on expanded world's greatest animation in case you'd like to compare br br and its director richard have attracted so much attention that there's little for me to add i'd like to note however that the film contains one of my very favorite single shots in an animated short the one where the man opens the door to let the cat out i don't want to give away the actual events depicted here but the first time i saw the shot i was from one mood to another then seconds later to still another that shot has never failed to affect me that way since for this shot and for the way builds up to that set of moments the big deserves the tag of masterpiece,positive +i truly love horror films try to give every one i see as much credit or sometimes more as possible but this is really pushing the ticket most of the cast were very like able but hardly any of them could act at all but then again think about the writing dialogue of this mess some good make up but absolutely ridiculous special fx all in all i give it 3 out of 10 am having second thoughts about that,negative +i can barely even remember what decade i saw this film it was when i was a teenager i think i'm now i started watching it as a late night movie sometime in the mid to early 80s and so much of it has stayed with me ever since seeing other comments i had no idea it was shown at theatres or that anyone else even new it existed i don't think i've even mentioned the movie to anyone else br br but half a lifetime later i still remember much of the movie that i watched late at night so long ago i think the innocence of the their situation their mutual affection over a long period of time left a long term for reasons i don't quite understand maybe it is because i was a teenager at the time i saw it and it touched me somehow i really don't know i also really wanted to know what was going to happen when the after the end of the film happened oh the agony br br i've not seen it before or since but i would love to i keep a casual look out for it but i now doubt it will been shown and it seems to have faded into oblivion but i'd miss it in the tv guide even if it did show up br br reading the reviews here has my interest if anyone knows of its in australia by all means email me and let me know br br oh and sean bury nice to see you make an appearance on the comments here i've had a look at your movie history and noticed your last appearance in a james bond film what are you up to these day oh and do you have a copy of the film cheers,positive +the reviews for rendition generally haven't been so i waited until it moved to the local theatre to see it the film tells the story of el an american egyptian scientist who is from his international flight and in for after a strange coincidence him to a recent terrorist attack in an north african country not as bad as i'd feared it's an interesting and thought provoking entry in the ripped from the thriller genre br br the film ultimately asks tough questions concerning u s methods of information from political prisoners is crossing the line of openly torture on suspected terrorists something our country should be doing does it useful information that helps save lives if so at what cost what sort of monsters do we create when innocent people are taken prisoner and tortured by the use of torture what sort of monster do we as a country become it's always disappointing when a film with such provocative material is sloppy with some of the details that make good films great for example i'd like to have with wife who spends the entire film trying to track him down but the only personality she's given is an advanced state of rendition also seems to imply that arab women who don't go along with their arranged are only asking for trouble and there's a poorly conceived kept by another of the film's main characters that too conveniently spells out in great detail all the information his love interest just happens to be in need of at that particular moment i laughed out loud when the moment should have been filled with dread br br the film features a good central performance by jake and strong but too brief appearances by hollywood veterans meryl streep and alan arkin as well as impressive turns by omar as el and also by actors and all of whom i would much enjoy seeing in future films that have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism good luck to them the five or so stories rendition follows are woven together nicely until the filmmakers insert a slight but effective twist that finally to the never ending cycle of carnage that violent attacks of terror,positive +i gotta go with my boy allen who also reviewed this film zombie as my copy is entitled guess they left out the ninja part after realizing there isn't a single ninja nor reference to ninjas anywhere in the whole f film is a total wasted of time honestly one of the most boring retarded films i've ever had the of viewing br br a hooker is repeatedly un raped by two zombies and then by a cop again un when the cop doesn't believe her story she meets a guy who was beaten up by said zombies and the two try to find a way to seek vengeance on the undead br br first off there is no or really other at all to be had in zombie ninja i was hoping to at least get some sort of horror porn hybrid a la porn of the dead or re or perhaps perverted stories but no there was absolutely no sex in this film at least a bit the ol' in out might have redeemed this boring garbage to some degree but without it we get a bunch of poorly shot scenes of complete boredom with zero payoff i'm all for trash films and most other schlock gore porn and exploit material but this one honestly sucks in every way save your time pass this one up 1 10 and the one is only for a few brief shots of some sub par,negative +15 park is a film about nature of reality br br a young girl prone to imagining things and hearing voices possibly out of sheer boredom is taken to be by her educated father and control freak educated elder step sister controlled and treated like an even if out of love and affection she has ghost of a chance to develop as a normal person when a boy offers to marry her her father and step sister try to convince him against taking such a step a traumatic experience caused primarily due to her existence finally takes her across the line of no return and she lives full time in a world of her own br br the family and society around her are of her and want to them with electric shock therapy anything even though they all have of one kind or other of their own br br her mother doesn't see the irony in allowing a ghost buster to treat her of the her step sister is a professor of physics teaching among other things quantum a subject in which a stream of experts accept parallel multi and many more in space than the 3 we see a friend with admiration an experience with a holy person claiming to hear voices far away george w bush has real or fake of weapons of mass destruction and is allowed to iraq br br as some viewers have already pointed out away from attacking the mother of all mainstream which is a pity br br in other words accepted reality is what a majority or an influential minority believe in that's been the case since the beginning and lot more powerful people than in the film among them bruno and have suffered as a consequence br br the film's controversial and difficult ending was necessary to show it's a film about nature of reality and not the case study of a girl br br all the cast have given great performances but and have has produced an outstanding philosophical film,positive +this is the result of the town of california making a home movie and the rest of the world to it legendary in some circles as the biggest cinematic turkey this movie is rightly thought of as a bad movie part comedy part giant monster horror movie this movie is full of non actors not acting the plot has something to do with a giant monster being created from the garbage and in the area and going on a rampage the monster which we don't see until the final 20 minutes is rather cool looking but isn't cool enough to warrant watching the hour of boredom frankly even hardened bad movie lovers are going to have a tough time getting through to the end this is a stinker,negative +of the 60s and 70s what lousy and unwatchable cartoons that were thrust upon us by these it's a shame really as in the 1940s and 1950s meant quality because they produced so many wonderful tom and jerry cartoons however with the major cost cutting efforts of the late 1950s cartoons in general began to look pretty poor and budgets were in fact william and joseph were fired by mgm and replaced by a team of czech animators who had never even seen the original cartoons so in the late 50s the team was out of work and decided if you can't beat 'em join 'em and began producing horrid little cartoons themselves with horrible animation backgrounds and writing br br it's unfortunate but the production of crappy cartoons worked too well making them rich and the most successful producers of cartoons of the 60s and 70s during this time again and again bad production values was their norm and a long list of very forgettable cartoons were created in this case the amazingly bad inch high private eye a completely unfunny and stupid idea if you want to know what the show was about the title says it all br br rotten to the core and strong evidence that the production team had total contempt for us kids,negative +one of the most notorious of the banned video of the 1980s is also one of the most over hyped make them die slowly is about what you'd expect from an directed jungle yet poorly rendered native torture techniques some ridiculous social commentary yes even than cannibal holocaust and lots of guts being the film's exploitative violence though is often only shown in brief close up and never on for very long which its effect interpret that how you may the dialog is usual silliness as our male heroes show their affection for females by calling them t and the like the cast of familiar faces including de and robert does their best in the face of the idiocy including a completely ludicrous but cannot save this lousy effort,negative +the cure is one of the few movies i rated 10 out of 10 i mean everything is flawless for me in this motion picture i saw it almost a year ago and yet i remember many of the scenes especially the final touching scene that comes with the credits br br the two boy actors clearly gave everything they could and this greatly contributes the excellent storyline making the film perfect br br the message is clear friendship and it's displayed throughout the whole thing br br i have nothing more to say here simplicity is one of the things i love so much about this film and of course it's fun and moving at the same time people of any age br br 10 10 nicely done,positive +in this tv special jon is the one who needs a life the highlight of his day is counting the on the ceiling and his not content with this forever jon takes garfield to a self help group in order to meet people how many people will be interested in a loner 20 something who's best friend is a cat br br after several failed attempts at getting a girl including one dance scene that rivals david of and hammer in the office dead says jon he is more than shocked to find a cute girl who is as much as a jerk as himself br br naturally they get on but garfield is worried that john will forget about him and prefer having kids to a cat fortunately new girlfriend is to cats br br with animation than past tv this feels like a longer episode of garfield and friends,positive +pretty bad which i rarely bother to watch over again and it's no wonder it's slow and and dull as a knife mad doctor george is at it again turning a in glenn strange into a wolf man unfortunately the makeup is virtually non existent only of a beard and for the most part if it were not for and presence along with the cute anne this would be completely unwatchable strange who would go on to play monster for in two years does a impression from of mice and men it seems br br 1 2 of four,negative +can't make any good movies fact this is a great example of that br br first of all the term plot does not exist in this movie it's seriously weak even tho a lot of people would argue with me on that sure it's about a taboo but that's about it there are endless possibilities which could have been really great if used but they nearly everything i think the whole movie is just an excuse to show pictures which are the only decent things in this whole pile of awfulness br br the acting is just plain there aren't many lines so you would think that the actors have great facial expressions or abilities but no in fact of the time they suck and that's when they don't say anything if they say even a single word you'll start your head saying that's damn unrealistic but than again this is partly the fault of the writing there's also no emotion in most of the dialogs br br the editing is sometimes ok but most of the time illogical and just the whole picture it could have given an emotional push yet it seems the editing in here is all about putting cuts after each other br br someone please explain it to me why critics say this movie is a masterpiece calling this an art isn't gonna make it better sorry but you failed live with it even tho you probably won't care about my or any other guys opinion your child,negative +the first film was enjoyable by adults as well as children this one starts with about an hour of filler where not much happens with stilted dialogue only in the last act is there any significant action that really moves the plot along the dog is still cute though and young kids may enjoy it,negative +the of four seasons was rainer first shot at mainstream acceptance in a career of just fifteen years he managed to create an astounding body of work in film and theater both as a performer and a creative producer actor and director although this movie might not appeal to many viewers the film has much to offer the storyline is fairly straightforward a man is from his upper middle class family due to emotional and economic problems and proves unable to control his spiral the of four seasons is shot with a devotion to elegant detail and each set is very carefully designed and constructed every object on set seems arranged so as to layers of emotional many religious paintings and icons the walls of the various rooms and seem to speak to desperate quest for spiritual meaning or direction in his life much thought was given to how lighting and color were employed to contrast and enhance the drama several times during the film i the frame to marvel at the beauty of the composition i this film and the print was nearly flawless and second to none fassbinder employs his actors in an almost anti style he does everything possible to prevent the actors from in a normal or manner and this creates a rather stilted effect however by doing so he an almost to the narrative rather than the presentation of a mundane melodrama the actors almost lack of forces the viewer to confront the film in a different manner film intentionally the viewer from easily connecting with the characters' trials and you are constantly on the outside looking in this will be a experience for many but i found it to be a unique and satisfying artistic adventure,positive +the scariest thing about this horror movie is that the end to a sequel 'the is really a disappointing action movie a team of cave and go to romania one of these places to make a movie for now at least and following a destroyed church enter in a cave that proves to be a realm of underground monsters or are they the movie never decides if it wants to be action science fiction or horror it is a mix of all without salt or fun and acted in a wooden manner the best thing about the movie is the cinematography but even the dark landscape of the cave becomes soon boring because the film lacks pace and the characters are simply not interesting waste of time,negative +french cinema sucks down with all these visions with their my god am i distinguished attitudes to symbolic film language and i'll no longer have a mind for that did you ever think about that a dialogue in a film could be natural and vivid maybe i'm too common to understand you or had it been your task to confirm all the clichés of a frenchman the world can have the to be comes to his home palace not in the picture plays the here am i darling in this moment i knew that she's in the and we ll see her lying in there soon don't me i'm not and the sex scene was the climax of the film but this is in berlin we say what means something like a self satisfied and the worst seen that often in french movies i can tell other example she beautiful and willing is looking at herself in a mirror her hair and her wild dirty young guru into the room breathless shouting there's no escape there's no escape forty years after and what's new what's exciting about my god there's that woman and she loves and you what would be more natural to be happy with your life and when you're not please explain much better why born french means you have to live a life in no escape is that the point,negative +i'm a fan of low budget b movies and campy horror flicks but this was too much even for me br br if you can get past the weak plot the cheesy effects and the uninspired acting then the horrible writing will kill you or you'll wish it would the dialog was most likely written by high school who thought that saying sir yes sir over and over again made these guys sound more military br br the characters were all the typical cardboard stereotypes ho sorta ho other guy with sensitive side evil scientist with secret agenda bald or course bitchy chick who would be hot if she tried too dumb sexy chick with vital piece of information idiot genius nerd random other sorta military who die soon enough and spoiler character alert crazy scientist who was in charge until something went horribly wrong oh yeah i almost forgot there is a secret military navy submarine sitting on the ocean floor 5 minutes from or so it seems full of ok and dead bodies your mission is vague and poorly defined br br if you watch this don't say you weren't warned,negative +i bought this movie for about 2 5 dollars at a local flea market i thought that with the cast present in this movie ice t rob lowe mario van are all ok it would be pretty good boy was i wrong this movie annoyed the hell out of me almost every scene drags on too long the scene where rob lowe is watching this girl singing and dancing in a bar lasts forever it was one of the worst scenes i have ever witnessed in a movie the rest is no either my guess is when they finished the movie they only had 30 minutes of film so they made everything last longer br br conclusion the current 1 9 rating here on imdb is right on the money this was one of the worst movies i've ever seen go watch some paint dry for 1 5 hour instead of watching this br br if you want to see some better movies made by this director watch with christopher ice t or with charlie sheen instead,negative +what an this do justice to the original with awful acting from everyone in this movie hitchcock must be spinning in his grave the where marion gets killed in the shower is just so and unoriginal the only good bit is that they used the same music and its so obvious who kills her in the shower i rate this movie 3 10,negative +a holiday on a boat a married couple an angry and a is the reason to this films beginning br br i like boobs no question about that but when the main character allies with whoever happens to have the most fish at the moment mostly by having sex with them and playing the role of the constant victim my anger just rises to a whole new level take two guys a husband and another man put a pure woman in the middle of them ad a deserted island all her moral issues ad a whole bunch of moral issues to the men and mix it in a big bowl of arguments fish and a lighter and you will come up with a piece of junk movie like this br br the acting is i would say good there are some but not many as far as i could see the main female character makes me sick this is due to her lack of moral values the man with the most fish her attention even though one of them is her husband she sees no problem with being with the other man because i must do it to survive how can you justify having sex with another man for fish when your husband is away and he won't even benefit from it the female character has absolutely no problems to justify anything that she does if she get for her actions she's a victim br br i recommend everyone to see this movie this is the kind of movie that will make just about everything else you see this year a pleasant movie experience,negative +andy mcdermott tom everett scott is a shy american teenager spending vacation in paris with his friends brad and chris andy saves the gorgeous julie from committing suicide in tour and has a crush on her he does not know that she is a werewolf they go to an underground party and are attacked by werewolves andy is wounded and becomes a werewolf he is advised that the only way to become normal again is killing the werewolf that attacked him and eating its heart this movie is a violent black humor movie the special effects and the soundtrack are excellent the song of the band bush i do not know why some readers this movie with the masterpiece american werewolf in the stories have nothing in common only an american teenager werewolves and a city in europe highly for fans of werewolf and black humor movies my vote is seven br br title brazil um em paris an american werewolf in paris,positive +for all the homicide out there this movie was great every single character that ever was on the show made an appearance in the movie it helped to resolve some but not all issues from the series unfortunately unless you actually did watch the series most of the enjoyment would be lost as the movie made heavy references to every season of the show's existence this probably would have been appropriate as a series finale as opposed to being a separate movie but we gotta take what we can get i hope they make more movies and continue to feature homicide characters on law and order,positive +what a waste of time i got about five minutes into it and became very and was soon fast a bit and pretty soon the desire to take my thumb off the fast forward button was nonexistent actors mark and barry murphy did very capable jobs i thought but no one else i saw gave anything like a good performance again take this review with a large grain of salt because the movie was just so unbearable i couldn't make it to the end heck i couldn't make it to the middle br br i find myself unable to submit this review because it isn't long enough maybe this last sentence will put it over the top,negative +i have been most fortunate this year to have seen several films at my art museum on occasion well more like half of the time i am unable to watch the films there i have attempted to view each of the films that i have missed so far and pleasures on the sea and who killed the electric car are the other films that i have had to watch this way the film covers an intriguing subject matter and is well emphasis on this later but not as successful as and pleasures but far superior to electric car br br the film's the future of the american concept of suburban living it questions the of such a practice as oil rise so the film the origin of the and it's evolution until the early one theme the film at length is the alienation the creates among its inhabitants while several people may live together they do not know each other as we define the word this to me represents the strength of the film its appeal to actual human emotion we are able to understand the argument so much easier because they do not have to convince us of their this is also one of the reasons sea is such a wonderful documentary br br unfortunately loses its message in explanation in support of its central argument as those interviewed speak their arguments become more akin to those made by we are told that oil production will hit its peak in this decade but are given no scientific evidence professional reports etc in support of this claim we are given little information as to how this date was fortunately this was the only significant flaw that i was able to in the film's argument yet it's a glaring one nevertheless another less important i noticed was the liberal political bias which could some viewers however this bias is revealed clips of various events and not the filmmakers themselves the clips especially those from the 1950's seemed a tad unnecessary to me the film was no better with their presence and would have been more in their absence br br as i thought more of this film before this review i thought about why i found its argument more convincing than other documentaries that i'd recently viewed finally i realized that the filmmakers actually offered analysis to the suburban problem they a village system where of people would live together they this practice would lower the necessity for and wasted space they define wasted space as the long stretches of parking lots between shopping areas for instance what is incredible about this is that it's actually most documentaries vaguely state that some problem should be ended but offer no method of doing so thinking more about the film i decided that this analysis is what saved the film for me and why i give it a review br br while neither perfectly convincing nor fluid in presentation the end of is a worthwhile investment of one's time it not only the contemporary problem of but it also provides realistic insight on how to it the audience can also enjoy the high production value with various clips from the 1950's spliced with the modern people living in georgia or the region of north will particularly enjoy this documentary as is the most established there,positive +this has got to be the worst show i have ever seen i always liked chuck norris in films but why do we need to make these shows politically correct by adding a black side kick who is as threatening as shirley temple in little miss i also thought the show was limited because how many times can you kick a guy in the face and make it interesting i know an african american who looks like this guy and he gets his butt kicked about once a week he is all attitude br br chuck norris is the man and he deserves all the kudos he gets i think this show started great but lost steam as time went on br br they should have dumped side kick,negative +i watched this because a friend told me it was damn good and i watched a video on it so i was really into watching it i watched it and damn the fighting scenes are really good if the guys can't fight like that in real life they sure fooled me there isn't as much fighting as i would like i have to say but the fights that are in the movie are pretty spectacular they don't show much but you can tell it's violent and cool but there's also the plot that goes around a love triangle between the main characters though it's a bit twisted sung is a guy who seems to love getting into trouble as well as fights he's the leader of his school and is the rival of won who's the leader of his own school a bit of a playboy hot headed and a rich boy then there's han a girl with not a lot going for her her father just passed away and she moved back with her mother the guy she liked is dating her old friend and then she meets won who goes to her school and sung who calls her older sister eventually she discovers sung is her brother fruit of one of her father's affair and he loves her despite of their blood relation meanwhile won falls for her and takes her as his boyfriend but she is torn between her boyfriend and her little brother who her love to her overall it's a wonderful movie but if i was really depressed after the end and i just couldn't help but think damn are all korean movie i watch about fighting death depressing stuff incest 'cause that sure was the case with old boy and temptation of wolves it's a very good movie but people have to be ready to cry at the end,positive +this is a movie about a black man buying a company and turning the company into a african over the top they even portray the owner as not only being in control of the but also controlling part of the air at the airport one day this guy wins 100 million dollars a the next time you see him he is walking all over the airport acting like the owner of the airport everyone calls this movie a parody but nothing about this movie shouts parody this movie is a flop and will forever be in the 4 95 bin at wal mart br br i can't even come to terms to why mgm would waste 16 million dollars on this movie this movie doesn't even warrant straight to video status the writers one black and one white should be from hollywood forever not only do they over stereotype blacks they portray them as ignorant human beings i would be ashamed of going to a movie that constantly me don't waste your time at the video store wal mart pay per view or on a sunday afternoon when the movie is shown on,negative +ok the show was a little uneven but i still loved it i found the main two annoying but were always amusing br br i really want the baby episodes on dvd or even vhs please release those br br specifically the years episode aired on 11 22 the going up episode aired on 9 17 and the minister golf episode in 11 br br they are the funniest bits of the whole series and even over a decade later we still reference these bits br br i have nothing more to say please the minimum to something like 5 lines and us for,positive +i really thought this would be a good movie boy was i mistaken for a quick b grade acting c grade special effects d grade for the overall movie don't get me wrong the story was pretty good and not so an adult too ride along with it the hero is good looking so most women will like it not a total chick flick as it contains some fight scenes and some blood br br but the way it is shot horrible br br the special effects would be better suited for tv on a kids show br br and lastly send some of the actors back to acting school if they ever attended a class there br br trust me there are much better ways to waste 2 hours br br you have been warned,negative +this film really misses the mark on most the accents are laughably weak the acting amateurish and the comedy weak at best br br they've got a great idea it could have been particularly enjoyable but for the reasons mentioned above br br the writer seems to think by putting the word f into every sentence it'll make it funnier and the main character just seems to try a little too hard he's no brick top thats for sure br br next time at least get a cast that can keep the accent for the whole film br br it's a crime to compare this to films like the business lock stock and snatch,negative +this movie is and would probably appeal to children today even if there isn't a jedi in the entire thing of course elizabeth taylor was the most beautiful child in the world and her acting is great too even mickey rooney is good so are anne and angela lansbury the world was a different place when this movie was released and it certainly is a great place to visit,positive +amazing one of my favorite movies way down at the bottom guess i can take some pride in not liking what the general tends to go for jackie mason is hilarious in this movie and randy quaid i can never get enough of his strong arm tactics just like in moving he was also notable in national christmas vacation love that guy,positive +it is sad that was the best thing about this production especially considering the fact that he had not yet come into his own and was still as stiff as cardboard in his dialog delivery br br actually this isn't as bad as some critics say but it isn't good either it is amusing and does play like a poor country cousin of the conan line making it a conflicted uneven poor work and speaking of poor the quality is terrible due to the era in which this was filmed but that is not the only reason br br the story is inferior even to the conan line but moreover it loses itself in the red must be dominated by big strong and entirely forgets its purpose if it ever had one br br it's entertaining but in a low budget guilty pleasure b kind of way br br it rates a 4 2 10 from br br the fiend,negative +we have a character named just wants to be a good person she's nice friendly smiles often but is strangely brutally honest also has a secret her idiot sister has been original poetry which is getting the community excited about the sister writing unfortunately it's poetry while their mother starts being happy again and the boy next door shows his interest in just tries to figure out what she really wants to do br br what to keep in mind while watching this movie is who really is for such a brutally honest person who doesn't mind telling league types that she doesn't respect them it would seem odd that she would be able to pull off a lie for someone so happy and cheerful she's quite when it comes to certain issues those aren't character flaws they're plot development and they mean a lot more than they at first seem br br mostly this is something of a melodrama a character lies the other characters' personalities them through drama as relationships are held at risk but in terms of the writing it's very fresh and bold the acting helps the writing along very well maybe the idiot sister could have been played better and it is a real joy to watch br br the directing and the cinematography aren't quite as good they're acceptable and world is in color and light which makes for some very beautiful images but it's not very consistent it's not really so much of a flaw as a result of a low production value but within that same value is some genuine storytelling and a real care for the characters so while it isn't a perfect movie it's certainly an enjoyable one br br,positive +i saw this film for the first time last night i have been thinking about it all night and this morning i cannot say that it was my favorite film at least not yet i need to see it again br br the cinematography is stunning each shot has a that one would expect in a film that has name attached to it br br it is always to see de in any picture of of orders into the but in this case the fits in many ways the figure of walking through the fog and wind of echoes the shadow of the off statue that in the major works of the greek painter he is slightly menacing a presence who watches and in his capacity as a film director influence on the entire story br br the dedicated fan cannot help but think a little bit of and wandering through the streets of berlin watching all but not directly with the inhabitants and following the uber berlin metaphor the angel or in this case the director gets to interact with one of the stories br br at this point i have to bow out of taking this line of criticism too far i need to see the movie again i am fairly sure that this is the thread that will bring monologue together br br perhaps his and are pretentious empty dialog that sound good but cannot possibly be into real communication maybe that is the whole point of it no one can make that judgment with any degree of or authority until having done his br br we must be careful when throwing around the word pretentious it is easy to write off anything that of the intellect as but that leads to a terrifying mental state one in which the only conversation seen as genuine or authentic is the most banal when we all discussions of philosophy god existence meaning and all that brain candy we are setting our culture up to die a slow stupid and ugly death perhaps this is the warning that and antonioni are giving us it certainly is not the only theme of the film but i think that it cannot be ignored br br the other and most obvious is that of satisfaction there is a lot here on that and a review of all the subtleties and consequences of the development of this would well the 1000 word limit for this review br br my advice is to see the film but i offer a it is not an film at least i don't think so yet some films interact with the intellectual and artistic thinking of their times so much that the viewer needs to have a background in the before approaching the film par les is one of those films,positive +the play was written by william shakespeare between the years of and ever since then many other versions of the play have been produced including remakes completed in 1948 1971 and 2006 kurosawa even directed a japanese version of in 1957 entitled the play starts out with king hearing about the success of two of his and in a recent battle with the irish and the after a quick promotion from instantly gets an uncanny feeling for lust greed and power and does everything in his power to gain access to the crown even if it includes murder br br geoffrey wright tried creating his own version of the famous play in 2006 by setting it in the modern melbourne underworld just imagine a hundreds of soldiers with an and his own rendition of low at the same time just kidding about the latter but one thing he does do is utter the traditional shakespeare and he keeps it going throughout the whole movie that's right shakespeare meets ghetto it's all you could ever hope for the is rough and violent enough to match up with any other modern day action film but it lacks decent acting the right and a good technique of camera work br br the movie starts out with sam who works as a hit man drug dealer for gary sweet a drug lord from melbourne australia after being promoted to the of by as the three witches had predicted starts to take over as he sets his eyes on the throne after promoting invites himself over to house for a night of drugs and alcohol before the begin lady victoria hall talks into killing to take power over the throne after the are drunk and everyone's asleep into room and stabs him to death after his murder takes all of including title and crown just as soon as he thinks he's got what he wanted he finds out that it will take more than and running away to solve his problems br br one major flaw of the movie was the acting a once seemingly flamboyant and suddenly turns into a sissy and he looks like a sad puppy dog throughout the entire film i don't really know if this was or fault but either way one of the two should have realized was a king not a on a that took everything his wife had to say literally like i said earlier should have been rude arrogant and but when his character changes over to a drug lord he changes personalities as well i suppose on the other hand lady really knew how to it in the bud when it came to and her character she didn't seem quite as as she was in the play or the 1971 version but she reminds that compared to murder anything else he could possibly do wouldn't quite match up br br another thing i found was all the nudity this had to be fault the witches didn't do a bit of acting unless you call around in your birthday suit acting at one point in the film i started to wonder if i was watching or unique positions 2 br br don't get me wrong when i say i find the shakespearean dialogue out of place it's spoken but when it's spoken by an australian gangster it's just really weird when starts to kill people off he first lets them know by talking to them in english contains plenty of action blood gore and nudity to last anyone a lifetime you forget all the positive facts though when you start to think to yourself okay what in the heck did he just say in that last sentence at some points in the movie i don't even think the actors themselves knew what they were saying the new age of the movie could have easily been pulled off it weren't for the and the br br the camera work was just simply fair for me one thing i could not stand was the constant pacing back and forth between characters the camera technique used gave off that blair witch sort of vibe and made me throw up a little in my mouth matt reeves tried to attempt the same concept of camera work in field but it just doesn't work it makes me want to get out of my chair and look around for the little they have conveniently planted on every seat in the br br looking back on it all the holds one positive plenty of action other than that the movie contains nothing more than uninspired acting correct english usage and stomach turning camera work the soundtrack holds one or two of the same songs but each song is edited or differently for every scene there is never a variation of interesting or captivating media used from now on out directors should leave the dangerous drug underworld to al pacino and robert deniro future of should be created just as shakespeare intended the play to be 400 years ago i would recommend using medieval clothing english swords and and a soundtrack prepared by but either way the modern makes you for some good folk music a camp fire and a,negative +once the slow beginning gets the film kicks off and really becomes quite a lot of fun in many unexpected ways the ensemble cast is really good with heather graham perhaps being the weakest of them affleck as her brother is really good and extremely likeable if you catch my drift br br i highly recommend the film if you just want to have to good hours teenagers should really enjoy this film it says a lot about relationships,positive +it would be great if a discussion on this medium length film is with a brief tale about of hollywood people it was in 1988 that chuck norris saw this film at cannes international film festival he made a silly remark by that the senseless killing depicted in 5 is far more effective than killings which have been filmed in his hollywood films with him as a potent action star he was speaking about an innocent taxi driver whose face is brutally in film by a reckless psychopath who hits him with a big stone there should be absolutely no justification for violence and its in a human society this is the reason why chuck statement appears as a cruel joke which violent means in a society which is increasing becoming restless an honest reviewer would not be making a mistake if he she states that film 1 5 has universal this is because the events depicted in 5 can happen in any part of world the best lesson which gives to us concerns levels of violence which are acceptable in a just society this is the reason why the brutal of an innocent cab driver is capable of causing a feeling of in us we would not feel the same hatred for homicide when it appears in films featuring arnold chuck norris and jean claude van damme as they appear much too artificial one can easily grasp that special effects and modern studio techniques can charm only but make no sense to serious film also of human beings in fellow humans beings from the of death and misery this is particularly interesting as time and again it has been proved that strict laws and capital have not been able to prevent homicide,positive +john one man shows are hit or miss mouth showed off his intense characterizations and great timing but the material was average o accomplished the former as well but this time the material was funny freak is a classic followed by his disappointing sex o but his stuff in freak showcases his genius and when he's in the spotlight he's without br br semi look at the journey of a young man has power and i don't think even it's creator knew about by allowing us the chance to see his soul mr gives us an opportunity to project our own life onto his and there can be no greater gift a performer can give the to drop 'the expose and share is too terrifying for most actors they use characters to hide behind but goes full and any bruce and richard were our best cultural comedians actors because they spoke from their heart about whatever they noticed in society and the truth provided humor combine that with a great actor's gift of and being in the moment not to mention a sense of humanity and you'll see john has the power to do the same at least in freak he does br br from birth to his first big break and every life moment in between a viewer sees our host and other characters in their most private moments all the while experiencing the pain hope and humor that comes with looking and lean tight is with sweat by end having offered up his crazy life for an audience spike lee's fluid camera work captures the actor's nuances down to the last lip and slow blink the scenarios range from drinking with his father when he was 9 to seeing a chorus line with his gay deaf uncle his first vicious when he naked eager to have sex a nightmarish first sexual encounter with a large german woman in the back of a kentucky fried chicken follows an attempt to pick up a drunk catholic in a bar on st day in a serious showdown with his mother and father it's here that he shows his true genius he plays a scene between these two characters and himself and his brother with such a strong dramatic intensity you forget you're watching only one person there's no costume changes bad lighting tricks or makeup just an actor giving his all it's simply amazing br br other actors comedians that stand out right now are eddie izzard and chris rock but they don't dive into themselves as deeply as john does that's not a criticism not by a long shot i love their work but freak is different it's moving in a no b way it's the best one man show out there and no one will be able to touch it for a long time,positive +this has to be one of the worst films i have ever had the misfortune to see the general idea of a mass hitting the planet earth with em is fair enough but where did they get the idea that humans could survive a the acting was so terrible i got the feeling that the casting agents simply grabbed a handful of people off of santa monica and threw them in front of the camera in all honesty i have seen less wooden acting from my board sorry but this film was poor poor poor,negative +i feel conflicted about this film it is one of the most beautiful films i've seen and provides insightful looks into a lost culture there was an early scene of men in and sitting around a table with a woman serving and an playing that brought tears to my eyes just because of the way it captured a way of life that must be incomprehensible to many today it presents the lives of the characters as being bound up with the life of the village another lost concept in today's world symbolism is always fun but it seemed a little dated the fatal flaws of the movie to me were the lack of any compelling dramatic drive and a total lack of humor i never felt like i knew any of the characters beyond very basic universal things like over the loss of a loved one etc the people were stick figures in the director's involving natural disasters war etc the film was just one beautiful tragic scene after another with no involving narrative thread and no humanity as a result it seemed very abstract irrelevant to the lives of real people in the end i was too bored to finish watching it,negative +this is a great example of what happened at comedy central after dave left here's the problem with carlos firstly his birth name is ned and was known that until he was 18 when he switched his name to ned he was born in though he acts like he's from mexico he grew up in the united states as well br br i might be able to forgive all that crap but br br he's been caught stealing other peoples material joe has been his most vocal critic in this way the stereotype was an idea he ripped off a couple of from miami he has stolen jokes from bill he stole george material in his own hbo special 13 minutes of it br br he thinks what he's doing is so original but dave and lisa have been cracking on race for years before this idiot others br br this show will crash and burn the word can't last that long before it gets old he hasn't done anything new since the first episode br br wanna hear a joke a jumping a fence that's funny for 3 seasons not br br awful,negative +to me is certainly one of the better movies i have seen i don't think was primarily intended to be a horror movie but a movie questioning the of science if you watch it with that in mind it turns into a really good film the only annoying bit was the awful voice dubbing for the english version how can you expect any non german person to listen to these unbearable german accents for two hours let native english do the talking or use subtitles instead,positive +may contain spoilers horrible just horrible i loved stephen king's novel and this is just a horrible adaptation of it they change the ending they change the plot they changed alan character from a husband to a happy fiancé if you are a fan of stephen king's novel stay away even if you are not stay away br br the book was dark even for steve king an 11 year old kills himself in the novel a middle school principal is found with child pornography in the novel this is nowhere near as good as the novel br br this movie is my least favorite film of all time i hate this film with a vengeance,negative +admittedly you can put a model airplane against a black background and call it sci fi and thats enough to get me interested so if you are like that black horizon will at least get you interested before you watch it the best part of the movie is when they rehash some actual footage of a launch br br the movie plays like the naked gun series cop dramas with bad clichés and bad acting unfortunately i don't think they meant to be funny the actors really are made of cardboard the dialog really does suck so well just have to laugh at them and not with them br br on a side note it is rare to see a movie that takes place half in outer space half on earth and doesn't mix in the expected and supernatural events i really do for more realistic drama based on our space,negative +any movie should have an idea simple or more complex it needs one the problem with it's once more that when he decides to make a movie he so anxious to do whatsoever that he forgets this main detail and as result we have the characters doing whatever without any justification behaving without justified reasons they are simple puppets going along the movie on the of the wind it's boring and sad to see them appearing and like cards being in a game always seem to have talent in advertising is own work and that leads you to see what he did but in the end there's always a big disappointment it's not enough having a movie full of the hot pink magazine stars especially when half of them can't act they only pretend to be funny here my only good point goes to the actor one of the few non he makes the effort to establish some credibility and in such a messy movie without any direction of any kind i give him the credit for trying hard but this movie its worth to check out as a of how to not do a movie and if previous works where bad this one it's a masterpiece in achieving the title of awful in few words just check it out it will make you good and if you your family movies and always feel bad with your work so just spend 30 minutes looking to this so called professional work your home made stuff will look like powerful hollywood flicks compare to,negative +pure crap decent cinematography i liked some of colors other than that this was one of the worst movies i ever saw boring lifeless not once did i find myself interested in any of the characters i kept waiting for a real plot to form and the movie to pick up the pace nothing ever happened i think they spent too much time working on hair and wardrobe that they forgot there was a movie being made at the time,negative +the fact that this film was shown at suggests to me that the print must have been acceptable enough for such a showing now the question is why isn't this long lost and important film available in dvd or even vhs a large number of persons in europe and the usa have for many years hoped to see this film if for no other reason than the wonderful music written for it by what does one have to do to get such a wonderful production as this available for a wider public not just to the at london having been a devoted to music for many years and aware of this film please someone do the right thing and bring it out as a dvd,positive +much better than it is generally given credit for this version of lost horizon not only had great music and beautiful scenery but also some stunning mountain photography a special edition laser disc was released some years ago which added more than 30 minutes of previously deleted material extra music and lots of bonus material so why isn't this on dvd hard to figure the studios out sometimes certainly the roles could have been given to people who could sing better than peter george kennedy and sally but what do you want in a movie good acting or song and dance man bobby van is great fun michael york is a suitably tragic villain and seeing sir john gielgud out as chang may sound silly but actually works very well on screen trust me you need to check this movie out if you can find it,positive +nominated for best documentary feature at academy awards my architect follows filmmaker in his quest to find out about his father the legendary architect louis i lou died in 1974 when was 11 years old leaving behind an incredible but limited body of work and three separate families all living within a few of each other br br my architect follows life through his buildings and their beauty with the story of a charismatic but selfish and emotionally immature genius as the son which lou never acknowledged during his lifetime has placed himself in the story without the main focus br br when the magnificent in california evokes his father's use of space and light in his buildings making it a peaceful and fascinating experience for viewers the shot of in white central meeting place the harmony with nature it's breathtaking my architect also covers the difficulty louis had with getting his designs accepted several buildings exist only on paper by more practical and property it wasn't until louis went to the east that his visions were in india where he built the indian br br of management a former co worker describes him as a guru in where he built the magnificent national building citizens consider him a father of democracy br br watching my architect is a wonderful way to begin or continue learning about architecture and the importance of space but it's the irony of lou combined with the of his work that will inspire you 4 stars,positive +i haven't read the source richard novel the brick which i hope is not as as its title but i understand the original villain was a not an anti and to be honest sam is written as a gay guy who picks up a drunken soldier but okay you have to go with the flow consider not even anti has been treated on screen yet many of the people responsible for contemporary movies were themselves jews but anti had been for years because it was considered unpleasant so we can hardly blame the makers of this film for not leaving the victim a homosexual now that's really unpleasant and besides there might have been many among the audience rooting for robert ryan to get away with it we are by no means free of prejudice but we've still come a long way since br br watching this again for the first time in years i was impressed with the rather slow pace of the first half of the movie the many shots of two people talking the shadows the time that passes between the question and the answer the uninspired editing but i could live with that because of the film's subject matter and because of a few other things br br one of the things that keep me glued to events as they unfold so deliberately is robert performance the guy does a splendid job at times he can seem thoughtful and helpful to the police any way i can help yes sir then alone or with another soldier the hatred rises to the top not so much through what he says but the way he looks that that stare those dark eyes wow br br the film has taken a lot of heat because of robert preachy speech about his murder that doesn't bother me at all although i guess didn't have to have young his face into the camera while talking about and still taking the context into account it's one of the more shocking moments of the film part of its impact is due to almost casual delivery of the message and part of it is due to the not having been heard on screen before br br another feature of the film that transforms it almost into the surreal is the paul kelly character and his relationship to the whore gloria holy what conversation kelly is given to you know what i told you all those things i just told you they're all lies his character neatly crosses pathos with creepiness it's impossible to know what to make of him he adds virtually nothing to the plot but the movie would be a lot less without his presence br br it's a moody murky film its people live in the dark and there is murder practically no one screams or shouts the horror that these men have experienced and that some of them still carry with them like seems just beneath the surface br br see it if you have a chance,positive +it's a shame really that the script of this film had more holes than you could shake a stick at mixed metaphor intentional because kinski and both talented performers who are capable of great subtlety and nuance have wonderful chemistry together and the always provocative didn't hurt the mix either jeremy would have been great here too if his character and all the other supporting characters hadn't been written as a plot device as for the main proceedings the writers just didn't know how to create the suitable guilty or innocent tension for character instead they gave us confusion and by the finale downright let's hope the viewers don't notice,negative +when we all know no one does it like the bbc br br being an avid fan of this sort of sunday night watching i was quite looking forward to this how disappointed was i in the first thirty seconds i didn't think it was looking promising and after two minutes i was finding it hard to watch br br however me and my friends only to find bad acting and a complete of half of the characters the plot was to the extreme and the make up and costumes and very 21st century in a robin style this modern style may have been able to be placed within sharp camera angles and visually cinematography but unfortunately we got neither the direction felt decidedly sloppy for both acting and shot choice br br after 30 mins we couldn't bare to watch it and went out and rented 'the which is very good btw maybe it is unfair that i judge this as i have watched so little of this but rarely have i felt so compelled to warn people not to watch something however me and my friends did think that the house and were pretty but thats as good as it gets,negative +a fine ironic visual gag takes place in front of the spectacular backdrop of a but who are those people who rush across screen at the end customers relatives one of the earliest in cinematic history perhaps well worth a minute of your time,positive +once again there's government stopping at nothing to prevent public knowledge of some events in this case the discovery of a new underwater species that could the although the creature is no e t he does seem to one who it at all costs not it is but an of the species and is going to get a lot bigger – and this 2005 series had a lot going for it it is family drama sci fi thriller with more than a few comedic moments the characters are believable well acted and well photographed the show holds the attention of course as with any sci fi show suspension of disbelief has to be achieved and i think it is here alas the series crashed after season one so we never get a resolution there is a general comment i feel worth making here many tv networks and or film distribution companies quite seemingly excellent tv series – particularly intelligent sci fi ones now there may be some very good reasons for this although the audiences are treated with disdain and rarely told the reasons this in itself is annoying what really gets my goat is that having cancelled the series they then issue the thing as far as it's got on dvd in an obvious attempt to milk the cash cow as far as possible for previous viewers of the series that's ok they know what they're in for but … many of these unfinished series end on a cliffhanger two that come to mind immediately are surface and odyssey 5 if you've heard good things about the series and not seen it you go and buy the dvd and end up with an plot issue – it makes me very angry i enjoyed surface immensely and didn't realise the poor characters would end up in a situation that looked totally – and we'll never know what happened next i believe that there should be a prominent notice on all such dvd issues to the effect that the story is unfinished nowadays i check on tv series imdb is an obvious excellent starting point to find out whether a series is really complete or not beware,positive +sure you get to see some but if that's all you're looking for in a film you get more from youtube i just paid a dollar from because i saw val name bad move plot didn't dialogue was shoddy characters undeveloped at best somebody said cinematography was alright but don't expect too much this movie moved very slow and ended without grace i spent much of the movie wondering if some event or color scheme of things was symbolic i never actually to figure it out because nothing was ever explained in the end no twists it also left many questions that as it turns out i had no desire to hear answered one of the worst movies i have ever seen,negative +i love this movie a lot i must get this on dvd i have 2 vhs copies but the quality is so poor that you can't read one written joke over the door of the ward i'm forever amazed that did almost nothing afterward he made both dr and mr hyde totally believable br br the movie is plagued by it's low budget one atrocious edit jumps into mid word and was described on ebert but there are a thousand jokes sight gags to subtle references that more than compensate i often find myself lines or singing i've got nothing to hide and from time to time completely describe a scene which matches some conversation there are at least six scenes which are among my all time favorite comedy bits br br viewers with no history of cocaine use may miss a lot of gags br br here take it visual of driving while waving butt out the window i said this seat taken ' nice burn visual of swim yeah i'm right handed me me says the woman trying to sell going to love these that's my feet jack says the black feet why should we tell you she's at the supermarket on supermarket whole shopping into etc,positive +i've watched this movie after having seen the original a few times in anticipation of the chilling ending br br i can't even begin to explain the anger and disappointment that i experienced when the ending came and went and the movie continued to have a happy ending what a waste of time it was watching this us remake br br if you have a choice please skip the and watch the dutch original the suspense is very well built up you feel the frustration of rex in search of any trace of what might have happened to his girlfriend after she entered a gas station and never returned to his car the search takes him three years and when he finally gets in touch with the person who knows the truth about what happened to he must agree to the same thing that has the ending leaves you speechless in your chair,negative +another direct to video movie from disney that is essentially perfect for the kids the problem with new groove i find is that everything that made the first movie a fun great ride is replaced with a more sad and film in this movie learns a great deal of lessons at many it takes away much time that could be spent at creating a more enjoyable film br br new groove deals with two stories returns for and one ms hopes to defeat camp championship this all leads up to confronting his father and his over his son's direction in life br br from lord of the rings to michael jackson's thriller new groove every bit of time that it allows to entertain its viewers if you loved the original or are looking forward to the upcoming tv series about i recommend to his loyal fans,negative +words can describe this movie loaded with ridiculous stereotypes a silly plot and poor music this movie lacks in just about every category br br don't be fooled by the imdb credits this is not a michael movie he's a secondary character in the grand scheme br br also listed in the is an actor named prince which makes me wonder if it's the same artist known as then again i'm not sure this movie is worth watching just for that br br big summary bunch of teams one has one has 35 000 one has an illegal substance and one has 000 add some confusion and as to who needs to meet who revenge on being taken and such and you end up with this mess of a movie br br given a choice i'd pass on this movie,negative +i've spent quite a while going through all the reviews for this film i'm in total with almost every reviewer in saying that is crap crap crap crap crap don't the executives at nbc have any class i feel sick to my stomach for actually watching both parts of this mini series the script is so dumb so pointless and yes totally inaccurate i can understand making a few changes for dramatic purposes but this film changed just about everything in the story god himself is going to go through the trouble to kill off the entire population but he somehow misses one guy that's around trying to sell stuff to give me a break and what was up with sons acting like indiana jones saving girls in distress if all that isn't bad enough there's the part where god to and says i'm sorry i was wrong nbc god can not be wrong this film is the most tasteless and biblical film ever made,negative +had it with the one who raised you since when you were young you just want her gone from your life that woman is your mother you should respect her you should honor her whether she's in sick or well but that in times it can be especially when she becomes very overbearing that's how owen danny had to deal with in throw the train his anne is one of the worst he trying his best to be a writer and she is everything but grateful calls him a clumsy a and fat and stupid for his friend larry billy crystal he has his own woman problems his ex wife she trying to him so what did owen do push her overboard what does he do help return the favor get rid of mrs lift in the kitchen scene i liked it where owen called larry cousin patty and said you don't have a cousin patty and owen shouts you to me and el larry with the pan then comes the fun part when they where on the train and try to kill lift that is and she kicks larry off the train well everything back to normal the ex wife lives but kicked the bucket on her own maybe she should have seen the errors of her ways a fun movie it is and the cast is great a classic 5 stars,positive +the original story had all the ingredients to make a thoroughly gripping film but failed miserably in this version as even was a pale imitation of what she was to become so much so that i suspected that she must turn out to be an right to the end sherlock holmes was turned into a warrior quite unlike anything every suggested by sir arthur doyle in fact it was doctor watson who showed what little common sense that was going the boot midget from the islands looked as though he could not fight his way out of a paper bag and what the villain was doing taking tea in baker street for a denouement was beyond anything that the old scotland yard could ever have up so this tv film to their black museum please,negative +john huston finished his remarkable career with one of the most perfect and sensitive movies i've ever seen for his farewell he decided to adapt james beautiful short story the dead and made not only one of the most faithful literature to film adaptations yet he also crafted a movie that more than 20 years later still surpasses a lot of contemporary cinema br br when i watched this movie a few years ago as a student at university i in awe at the screen at every aspect of the movie acting screen writing direction costumes settings music cinematography thinking about it now i still can't of anything i'd it for huston just knew how to tell a good story br br a good deal of credit should also go to tony huston he knew better than to with a text that is not only perfection itself but already visual enough for cinema father and son let the story breathe and in the long fascinating conversations between characters and in the meaningful br br also deserves credit for the his performance as gabriel i had never seen him in movies before nor have i seen him afterwards but he gave one of the most moving performances i've ever seen br br all in all the dead is a fine cinematic experience from a legendary director who never stopped being excellent,positive +watch this movie only to truly appreciate how good the original is i'm not real hard to please but this was one of the worst movies i have ever seen br br it hurt me deeply because i like chevy chase jackie mason and cannon the writing was just terrible i thought chevy would have at least ad some better stuff than he did there was hardly anything to laugh at in this movie i went into it wanting to enjoy it i wanted to laugh but nearly cried br br in the beginning credits it read special appearance by chevy chase this worried me from the start chevy is actually in more than i thought he would be it's more than a special appearance too bad the appearance wasn't special character would have been a good secondary character but got old as a main i would rather have seen more much more of cannon at least her character was fun if not well written i also missed the teen sex scene mr went from being cute and innocent to a that deserved to be blown up jonathan silverman is the only character that interested me and we didn't see enough of him br br i take it back try to watch half of this movie then remember the the and i,negative +there are so many episodes that make me over the stories br br that i wish i could pick the best ones and bill make for a strange pair that are beyond help but manage to play the victim and their way out of hard time just to drag dan into their life of crime br br will notice the odd joke for toronto or the federal government and because the cbc a really good show by the that dan was part of the show takes shots at them and in the episode the cbc is across the br br when dan says that the cbc would never waste money on useless venture enters the room and gives dan back his tape of friday night with ralph this show was a flop and most people wouldn't get the joke unless they knew the history for making shows people don't watch or good shows that they do watch,positive +i bought this movie from a market three years ago i gotta hand it to you when i sat down and watched it i thought this is gonna be another big action b movie ' obviously i was wrong while watching this film i began to realise that this movie was taking me to another planet full of p br br i began to get really bored and fed up with this film although i wanted to see was gonna happen in the end i really felt like it was really getting on my nerves br br the people behind the film brought some well known name actors into this project but what were they thinking even these actors couldn't save this film br br at the end of the film i felt like this was a waste of money just buying this low life sucker of film for a small amount of money a few months later i sent the tape off to charity i didn't want to see it again br br sorry but if you're thinking of watching a movie and then off to sleep i can highly recommend it you me i'll rather go on pro plus and watch something decent br br disappointing 1 out of 10,negative +here on earth is a surprising beautiful romantic tale about samantha who has both boy problems and health problems as her love for her current boyfriend fades away her love for like a new spring flower br br i found this movie very touching very warm very romantic and touching i enjoyed every bit of this movie and that's pretty rare i highly do recommend this movie to all movie lovers this is one film you don't want to miss d br br by the way if you're a very sentimental person who easily cries while watching movies bring on the other hand it was a really really good movie very romantic and surprisingly good d br br,positive +i too remember seeing this film as a at a local small theater that presented foreign films each week it was the daring adventure of it all that stayed in my memory ever since br br especially was the scene with as the old who too much saw or heard and died of fright in a cave i always kept track of career even decades later due to my seeing him then there's also a cusack as the james with designs on the lovely jean simmons shown as grown up br br would very much like to own a video of this haunting film and my memory of it where do i send my request,positive +scary in places though the effects did leave something to be desired unless you have bad or are afraid of the dark however most of the acting was convincing and most of the effects were well done i thought the creature looked a bit too much like a man in a gorilla suit for my liking it reminded me of the original pink film,positive +it seems whenever a mainstream film company wants to make a movies for teens it concentrates on only one thing sex don't get me wrong i'm no but the fact that these people seem to think getting my rocks off is all i'm interested in is highly offensive take the a film that relies so heavily on you finding the main characters attractive it thinks it can get away without a plot and or a script that wasn't written by a six year old this is essentially the craft with supposedly hot guys and yeah that's it it bored me to tears even my friend who usually us crap films hated it it is really stunningly bad to the extent where it can actually be funny i would have laughed if it wasn't for the fact that several other females in cinema seemed to be enjoying it they were accompanied by several looking guys who positively up and died when the really cliché boy on boy kiss happened towards the end watching them really was the highlight of the film i don't think mainstream hollywood cinema will ever put out good films for teenagers or indeed for anyone so i think i'll give up unless you're a teen who likes the dolls thinks paris hilton is hot and watches mtv it's like some sort of life's hard when you're a fifteen year old who likes art house p s someone should have told the director that not all teenage girls find would be boy band members totally lol,negative +this interesting lost film written by stars and forrest as two wacky southern brothers on a quest to open a restaurant was never and forrest should have been nominated originally titled the brothers this light hearted flick with a violent ending is a pure joy br br where is this film i've been searching for it for 30 years was still great back then and i'm surprised it doesn't have more of a cult following maybe it does these guys are a crack up with more ambition than brains but totally lovable a 7 out of 10 if you can dig it up somewhere you'll have fun,positive +i was turned on to this movie by my flight and now i wonder how the heck it was out there for nearly five years before i finally discovered it if you have any love of flying at all especially an to the planes of wwii this is an absolute must see vastly superior to the pathetic pearl harbor and up there in rivalry with the famed battle of britain filmed more than thirty years ago there are moments when you feel as if you are flying literally the shell of your leader as you roll in on a me or he br br as an this film deeply touched me as well for it is about the plight endured by of thousands of and who in 1939 1940 their made it to england fought with bravery for the survival of western civilization and then were so abandoned by us after the war when they were arrested by the upon their return to their native lands i have stood in italy and was moved to tears by the cemetery for the polish troops that that mountain that british and americans could not take i have traveled as well to the most beautiful of cities and studied their history their story of i believe should be a lesson to us even today about to allies br br but back to the film if you love flying see this if you are interested in the aircraft of wwii most definitely see it without doubt the most brutal direct and swift air combat scenes ever for film and yes if you even are seeking a touching romance there is that as well in heartbreaking detail br br bill professor of history co owner of a wwii p gloria ann,positive +ah yet another seagal movie in no less than a few mere months arrive to the video store shelves as bad as no but that is not saying much like on a pig br br seagal is professional thief who wants to quit but goes for one last job only to be double crossed by his boss he lands in prison and is by a gangster who helps him to break out and seek br br its good to see seagal finally not playing an agent cop or what he usually plays we actually get a usa location in las vegas it seems then an eastern european territory as usual there is no wire fu either here don does an okay job br br however most of the action and fight scenes with are clearly scenes from other movies a lack of realism and logic in even situation seagal and make a so so team inspiring unintentional laughs one minute the rest br br several notable faces turn up to it sleepy kevin is a long way from his days nick shows up in mode to take a check no more please at this point the action scenes and plots are more predictable and recycled more than ever its a stale scene that seagal needs to get out of or hang it up he should have gotten out a while ago,negative +one of the best and most inspirational movies about a different culture i've seen in years tragic and touching worth the watch maybe a few times we all know how brutal children can be i know from my own and my brothers experiences as children and this movie hit the nail on the head perfectly the running is amazing and i need to do research on the of that event even though it is done in cgi it is still amazing and very interesting to a like that with a single string seems impossible but they make it believable anyway this movie has many twists and turns that are i'm sure to many probably easy to figure out but they hit me before i could which makes a great movie for me when you figure out the whole movie in the first 10 minutes it kind of ruins it but this one does it so smoothly that it's hard to guess it even when it happens i'm a guy and i don't mind saying that the tears were flowing at more than one point in this movie,positive +i ended up liking this movie but it was not the to get through what makes the movie great is the music and the scenery the songs are beautiful and the musicians are talented a great job was done to show different settings for the people br br however the viewer was not guided enough a more in depth history of the people would have been nice only a of the of the spoken words were given english subtitles in addition more explanations about the settings and who was their and some of their challenges would have been appreciated too it would have helped if there were a narrator too explain about customs dress and music,positive +miyazaki's studio shows his wonderful touch life in every little action of the characters in when puts down so carefully his little boat to reach for the red fish you know that you'll have a very good time watching this movie br br the characters are interesting and you really care for them they recall visually other stories seems a grown up with a son an old lady in wheelchair remembers the witch in moving castle br br the presence of the elements wind rain and the sea with its great powerful waves is so strong that i think it has never been in such a way in any other movie it is a simple story loosely inspired by the little mermaid and it reach for the very heart of the audience just like the other miyazaki's true masterpiece br br an instant classic with a great soundtrack and a catchy song during the ending credits don't miss it,positive +unbelievable philosophy depth genius masterpiece people must have seen another because the one i've seen was a badly written poorly conceived over the top acted piece of which even ignoring for a moment the violent scenes which makes it for the eyes of a child could barely satisfy the imagination and the for plot of a seven years old br br the depth of this sorry was exhausted in one little piece of wisdom laugh and the whole world will laugh with you and you'll find yourself alone the type of boring fortune cookie saying which a great author be him shakespeare or more to the point of imdb kurosawa would have thrown in the garbage can with no second thoughts where this movie should have landed too if we wouldn't live in an era in which the cheaply shocking and the disgusting are confused with what used to be named once great art in short br br 2 out of 100 it's not 1 out of 1000 only because of some occasionally expert camera work in no way enough to save this failure from though,negative +it reaches the minds and feelings of everyone driving them deep in the black desert a brutal but beautiful world that is explored through memories and edgy layers of sound and score the landscape develops its own persona the inner of all three characters as their stories unfold the stark void of lost love the fear of the unknown and then of through the very of this three misguided souls fighting to find something absolute and positive in all that negative space the drama is compelling james franco and his co stars deliver performances naive blonde car thief all with unexpected twists together they create an explosive portrait of love one that to amidst the hardest forms of and illusion the of human emotion,positive +i first seen this movie like a year and a half ago and i loved it i decided to get the dvd last year for my birthday it has the right amount of suspense action and drama this movie is about school called the school and its packed with rebellious kids in which one kid william sean has a hard time due to prior from other schools cause they couldn't control his rebellious act and now at the school committing more acts of a rebellion there school gets taken over by terrorists on a random day and which the real reason is because the leader luis andrew father has been sent to prison and the leader will do anything including killing the students setting bombs and so forth in order to get his father back br br along side william is his rebellious friends at the school one in particular is joey in which this guy holds a troubled past of living in a mafia family and being sent to the school because of hating his father for who he is and which now he must deal with these terrorists taking over the school so william joey and there friends must band together to stop these terrorists from violent acts and tactics br br this movie was really awesome and i believe people should notice it more because when people think of a good hostage movie they would say die hard and even though i would have to agree with them they need to recognize that toy soldiers was a good thriller it sure had my heart beating because the students are my age and i would be scared to confront terrorists like these if they took over our school but overall this movie is really worth a good minutes of your time and if i had a decision to rent or buy it i would buy it i recommend it with a lot of hype 8 10,positive +my only problem with the curse of the were rabbit is that the movie does not take the time to properly introduce wallace and to those not familiar with short films strangely a close manages to do this with a lot less time to spare still i loved seeing the boys back in action and loved all the new characters human and otherwise i especially loved ralph voice as the scheming victor it is also interesting to see the series on the large screen the with the clay characters really stands out it's a hoot and great for the whole family i buy very few dvds but i have every wallace and and will happily add this one,positive +succeeds as at you into a bizarre where haunt and curse a town it fails at being a competent horror movie while the film is sure to draw attention mainly to it's bizarre plot line and a few interesting visual treats it's going to come off better as a dark comedy than a horror film it's definitely a film you should see if your into the kind of stuff but if your looking for a scare or even a small chill you'll want to look elsewhere doesn't really have much else up it's but a great chain of odd events br br a,positive +tomorrow is another day is not the sequel to gone with the wind but a lovers on the story and a surprisingly alert and moving one as well for a supposed hack to b minus features like the devil thumbs a ride felix proves at filling his work with unexpected inventive details steve leaves prison after 18 years for killing his brutal father when he was only 13 and now he's still a operating inside a man's frame he visits a 10 cents a dance palace and falls for ruth roman but the sudden shooting of her police boyfriend causes the ill matched couple to hit the road ending like the in a california worker camp br br the revelation in her best known role as in hitchcock's strangers on a train she was ill and under used here she from bottle blonde taxi dancer to wife and mother to be and a brunette to boot almost as good between the suspicion of a wounded child and the explosive reactions of an under male and the ending while unconvincing is nonetheless welcome along with they live by night and gun crazy tomorrow is another day displays a redeeming and warmth that its film noir,positive +comments must've been written on day because everything stated by that simple life form is the opposite of real truth br br is hilarious in every scene in every way the chemistry between and cooper could not have been supporting cast is superb br br writing and direction are magnificent br br like so many other comments on this board again i why can't films be like this anymore br br this is classic paramount 1930's screwball comedy at its best folks,positive +i absolutely love this show its basically improved version of the simpsons lets face it the simpsons are very dry if you're above the age of 9 it's political irrational and irresistible anyone who says they don't like it is lying there is a character for every one peter are my favorites peter because he is rude obnoxious and just doesn't give a crap because of his amazing intelligence and how he hits you with something an adult would say when you least expect it and because one of guilty pleasures is dirty jokes also there is an episode for everybody too if you're the political type there is mr goes to washington 2 season 3 if you like more of the sexual and humor there is impossible 2 season 3 or if you like any other kind of humor there is janet 1 what i'm saying is that when you watch this show there is side splitting humor for everyone,positive +i am usually a big fan of pacino scarface but since of a woman he pretty much plays the same role and shouts a lot this movie had no endearing characters to warm to brandon played by is the least likable of the bunch he nowhere even approached a real human being pacino was hopelessly unlikeable and my goodness how old is russo the only high light of this wretched mess was the hot hooker with the perfect and she has like 10 lines total even the usually reliable jeremy was utterly unlikeable br br note to writers of movies they do not usually work unless one of the main characters is at least a bit likable exception scarface as the movie and old brandon is at the airport my only thought was please let a plane crash into the airport and kill brandon,negative +once upon a time way back in the 1940's there lived an actress named lake a beautiful talented young woman who was once in high demand for many big budget hollywood pictures fast forward to the late 1960's age alcoholism and all around bad luck has favorite actress now a miss lake decides the time has come to follow in the foot steps of her peers joan crawford and bette davis and fall back on good ol' reliable horror but flesh feast really she couldn't have possibly been that washed up to put it flesh feast is a lifeless pile garbage possibly one of the top 5 worst films i've ever seen and i've seen them all lake plays a scientist who is plotting with to bring hitler back to life with youth experiments involving that's right unless you're a huge fan of heather hughes run away and never look back br br i know very little about this lake person as well as 40's flicks but to think that such a successful career actually became that dismal is actually pretty sad flesh feast is almost impossible to get through and by almost i mean absolutely directed by brad director of camp pictures and the man who brought us the greatest b movie ever made blood freak just a couple years later one has to wonder is this what blood freak would have been like if hadn't co directed with steve if so then god bless steve you wouldn't think that a religious blood turkey monster could be that much better than experiments involving and hitler but it really really is so forget you ever heard of this one and go find blood freak it's just waiting to entertain you fast forward a couple years later lake dies of broke and forgotten the end i hate you flesh feast 1 10,negative +i saw on a night i couldn't sleep and i was never so glad to have insomnia this story of a young white teacher who takes a position teaching poor black kids on an island in the is a great for teaching and for simply helping each other set in the early 60s with the civil rights issues and all that came with the 60s it is forgotten that the peace and many young people struck out to make a difference helping the with his open style of teaching is interested in these kids as people and encourages an honest interaction in his class that scares the that be the greatest part was that jon voight said they had a 20 year reunion and 18 of those kids became teachers its enough to make you think we as humans may have a chance to survive ourselves maybe hopefully see this film,positive +i honestly fail to understand why people love this show so much a friend of mine watches this and since i like sci fi i tried to watch along since the plot of the show sounded promising but in truth it really is a very boring show the only thing that will keep you awake during this show are the video game like cgi effects and the complete of muppets note that i call it muppets because they actually really look like muppets not like the aliens they should be br br speaking of which the muppets and make up effects are horribly in this show you have this guy who could be best described as a alien dwarf hybrid you have a pale girl who looks like a cheesy girl you've got a floating mouth frog alien it just feels very unnecessary and furthermore even to the point that you feel distracted from the whole storyline about a lost astronaut br br every episode is also too much of a stand alone the creators of this show directed this in such a way that every episode almost feels like a whole other show at least up until the point that you see the main characters muppets again that is the whole plot about the main character getting back to earth is way to much pushed to the background at points the acting is also quite bad br br conclusion if you want good sci fi just look somewhere else this isn't even real sci fi to begin with in my opinion since the show is more aimed at fantasy elements with all the and weird dreams going on and if you just want to see muppets then i suggest you watch the muppet show and feel glad that this abomination of a show has come to a end br br by the way doesn't anyone have with the concept of a living spaceship thats right doctor who started that concept almost about 30 years ago this show is like a collection of scripts and events that were abandoned for a good reason only to be picked up by this horrible show,negative +debut must be one of the best music documentaries of all time and as far as i know it's also the only one that focuses on the l a punk explosion of the early eighties it's all there not just great great bands like black flag fear x the whose names may not mean much to you today but whose influence on today's alternative rock music can not be over but also the the media and first of all the audiences the all portrayed in a manner that makes you laugh and gasp with about the energy the anger and the fury these put into their music where is that today the eighties may have sucked big time when it to mainstream music but the underground was if you need a proof for that watch performance in decline great film how come this is not available on or dvd p s the follow up decline ii is hilarious too,positive +regular max von and starred as a village couple jan and eva the story began with an ordinary couple who fights and make up jan was a sensitive person but an who isolated himself from the world eva is a practical woman who is getting fed up with her husband's lack of ambition because jan in their radio the are oblivious of the impending war of course the war arrived and the movie was a fascinating study of their transformation of each other and to each other through the invasion as they were by the enemy and by their own government br br there were no musical score to the movie but the soundtrack was the war noise in one scene the background gun shot the explosion and sound of the fly by planes was incredible now and then bergman into the facial expression as different event took places when something violent happened he out to let the audience the violence rather than seeing up close very well done movie,positive +may be spoilers no doubt one of the best dramas if not the best in the genre i've ever seen is an alien or just a crazy this is the question you'll be asking yourself all throughout the movie br br kevin spacey is simply amazing as is jeff bridges you can't beat this kind of acting plus some humour at times some of kevin actions in this movie are very funny when he was up in the tree for example and when he was talking to the queen mental patient the way he half his face around the wall and just br br to simply put it right from the start you'll be hooked and if you really love you won't be br br a solid 85,positive +most people will consider that greatest performance was as the of in the king and i certainly it gave him a wide variety of to test his abilities in from comic to tragic from eager to learn to to hateful it also showed him to advantage as a talk singer and a dancer finally as it was also his tony award winning performance from broadway the film allowed us to capture something of the great broadway performance as well br br but he did other movies that showed his talents as well as the king and i his comic turn in once more with feeling was quite nice so was his performance as general in or his in the ten yet he came terribly close to being a 1950s to eric von as the man you love to hate a certain vulnerability in his acting and roles him to the movie public even after his best years as a star were behind him and he more and more to repeating the king of on television and the stage br br to me his finest performance is in this 1959 drama with deborah kerr jason jr robert e g marshall anne jackson and howard the film is set in pretty modern times the that was in 1956 when briefly it looked like the iron curtain was about to collapse there under the of hungarian and his supporters but the hungarian revolution due to bad timing the russians and their polish and east german allies sent tanks in to crush the revolt and arrested and executed and other the west stood by and let this happen england and france had gotten caught in the crisis and the u s had them and israel for attacking egypt due to the actions of three close allies of the u s the west found it hard to the of the soviet union it was an unfortunate situation and the have never forgotten how they were abandoned in it br br in the film is major a russian intelligence officer who is watching for some of the leaders of the hungarian revolt one of whom is paul jason may be getting assistance from some on a bus tour through led by robert including marshall jackson and howard and kerr the latter are being kept in a hotel while their bus is being and with them hoping for a lead to the of but is human he tries to be with these people all of whom see him as a monster and in sequence when he has drunk a little too much he confronts them with the questions that has bothered historians since 1945 how is it even if one notes that russia had in charge that relations between russia and the west so quickly the allies on the whole had worked well together from 1941 to 1945 but after and all types of mutual just did they have to is a good officer but he is torn in half by loyalty to the communist in the soviet union and in that he supports and his growing towards kerr who is hiding but is also willing to note the more human side of the russian major and as the film reaches it's tragic climax we watch as has to decide if he will follow his sense of duty or take pity on kerr and the other who want to leave it becomes a true struggle for him and one that he may win far too late it was a great film about a tragedy of post war europe and possibly the most thoughtful role ever portrayed,positive +this movie is so predictable when you know the modern american dream do nothing be a loser and then suddenly you're a genius and an obnoxious one and the world is kissing the ground you are walking on br br and surprisingly all the other smart people are losers they don't know anything and are bitter when our problems so easily and what kind of problems they are so difficult but still these can the results in less than 10 seconds br br every movie has something good in it anyway and robin williams is it in this one,negative +the beginning voice over sounds like 'the could be quite an intriguing movie but as the story i knew it was downhill from there the major things about this movie that blew were the terribly bad acting jobs all the main characters did except for a few scenes involving the inner turmoil of there was a total lack of character development and absolutely no point to the plot what were the writers thinking br br michael won 2 sci awards for 'the huh what was so scary about this movie nothing except for the resident evil 2 video shots the rest was more of a for t v it wouldn't even have to be edited if you want a far better movie about among rent shallow grave instead br br 'the,negative +boston movies have some strengths mostly in that the pacing is swift and the hero is in even the worst circumstances but the plotting is frequently atrocious and the comic bits often kill the pacing if the plot happens to be good or are just unfunny and inappropriate br br this one involves chasing an from the asylum steve in a really poor performance who has become on beautiful nina who puts in a nice rather subtle acting job inspector of course believes has gone homicidal maniac he at least has some evidence in this one for that and is trying to jail him as goes after the real killer the plot has possibilities but any time any real tension gets going we a get a not funny comedy routine it doesn't seem like anyone at columbia understood that in a movie about a pursuit of a really dangerous maniac cute little comedy scenes about hiding an body from the inspector any willing suspension of disbelief one just concludes our clever hero is an idiot deadly for a film like this br br this one is not worth the time for a well plotted episode of this series see boston,negative +a directed film by martin where a drifter and anti hero john lands in n y to escape a tragic incident in his life where he killed his brother in an accident as well as going from the army br br cassavetes always an intense actor shows in his portrayal of a film am surprised that didn't get this part br br ruth white is his mother and does remarkably well in two scenes on the br br once in new york he befriends sidney as the two work on the immediately jack warden a bully and villain in this film takes a dislike to him and tragedy ensues when tries to defend his friend br br ruby dee plays wife in this film and is brilliant in a scene where she cassavetes to reveal the killer of her husband br br this is definitely an interesting film of moral values and the loner in society with the backdrop of the right mood is depicted in the film,positive +maybe this them in the 50's but this is one of those flicks that doesn't age well it's got that preachy earnest working man vibe of a 2nd rate rod live tv broadcast the plot is by the book the character's troubled background seems tacked on and the love interest is unconvincing and half hearted br br sidney gives an ok performance but man he sure was an annoying if i had to work with this guy in a warehouse i'd probably want to hit him with a hook too jack warden is good because as usual he plays jack warden br br like 90 of the films rated on imdb whether they are classics mediocre or somehow this one gets rated with 7 point some stars it is in no way deserving of that save your time,negative +of the thousands of movies i've seen so far this is the first one which made me think of the wasted talents expression i had never ever seen so many fine actors giving so dreadful performances elsa and so on the aging make up is quite awful and to make it worse lit the use of music e g love at first sight for the young de camp is at times so that i could feel most around me smile so far de has been quite a good actor but seeing this one and les de i think he should start considering please give up that master of project i doubt you deserve it,negative +my only reason to this site was for the opportunity to write a comment to this movie i felt that i had to get rid of some of my anger by writing it off me br br the movie must be just about the worst film i ever seen i really do believe that the script may have seen to been able to become a pretty good movie or at least ok but somewhere on the line something happened what makes it even more odd is the fact that the cast appears to be quite alright on paper put to practice both script and the cast fails to deliver there are to much action it happens to much things and you can't help wonder why it happens and then the cast the actors make such a poor effort that you almost start to cry br br if you have to much time at hand i would say you can see it if not don't,negative +wow this is the movie that should be shown on tv at two in the morning on for all those lord knows they'd probably pass out from boredom watching this movie terrible acting the killer is quite far from scary i've seen at that were scarier of unnecessary in this film pseudo porn scenes which are just horrible in more ways than a million a soap opera style script which really hurt the movie and the director really had no flair for whatever genre he was trying to create with this film i could see a group of teenagers with their parents doing better work than this i don't think there is a part of me that could recommend this film to anyone,negative +a of unpleasant city on le for a holiday stories characters fight make friends each other have sex br br has gathered together a stellar cast for his adaptation of book but to little what should be hilarious is instead at turns tedious and irritating all the characters are either pathetic or unpleasant or both and in the end despite the nature of things this viewer was left caring little about what happens to any of them br br credit to the always wonderful plus and but that's it and looks like he's rather overdone the and if you ask me,negative +i adore the version of phantom and i appreciate version if only for the growing interest in the book wish i find more of a mystery slash horror with the romantic aspects i don't of the fact that andrew lloyd made the relationship between and christine less restrained br br luckily since this is a comedic short with only and christine this version doesn't even have to bother with any other characters br br i thought i would still be waiting for another version to match up performance i was dead wrong leslie is fabulous as though of course this is a spoof it's still brilliant br br i especially appreciated the fact that looked more like a living corpse than an accident victim i still have as of yet to see a phantom like that other than br br however i do not recommend this short if you don't like spoofs because this is in no way supposed to be taken seriously,positive +certainly isn't your average run of the mill giallo and that's no bad thing unlike his previous effort the fifth which was your giallo film almost all of the giallo and instead of murder the focus is very on psychological mystery it's obvious from the outset that this is going to be an entirely bizarre film as the film opens up with a scene set on the moon things don't get any after that as the sequence turns out to be the dream of alice a troubled woman alice is tormented by dreams of an astronaut stranded on the moon which have apparently come from a viewing of a film called on the after several things go wrong for her alice decides to go to a mostly deserted former tourist spot named upon her arrival she is surprised as the people she meets seem to already know her alice also meets a young red headed girl who also seems to already know her the girl tells alice she looks exactly like nicole except and with shorter hair br br the fact that doesn't feature much in the way of sex murder and other giallo puts it somewhat on the back foot with it's primary audience from the beginning as most people going into this film aren't going to get what they were expecting or probably wanted but on the other hand respect for the fact that it doesn't just follow on from what went before it by 1975 the giallo had started to lose it's popularity and many of the films coming out around this period with a few very notable exceptions were merely of what came before so would have been taking a big chance on this film gives a strong performance in the lead role and the fact that she's not the giallo heroine isn't really important the mystery builds nicely throughout and while it can become a little turgid at times is generally speaking intriguing for the duration it probably won't come as a surprise to many once they get there that the ending doesn't make much sense and doesn't really clear anything up but it nicely adds to the bizarre cult value of the film and all in all i give a thumbs up,positive +this year's was to me a big disappointment i've watched the song contest every year since 1986 well at least that's the earliest one i can remember and i was only 2 at the time as any other year this one contained both good bad and horrible songs nothing new there however this year's show was the worst one i can remember only very few good probably more like it songs and a lot of absolutely terrible songs br br winner song every way that i can sounded to me like a rip off of turkish singer hit just sounding a lot worse it didn't deserve to win from my point of view song coming in second was a no language song wonder what's next animals singing nevertheless the music for the song was quite catchy giving the song a kind of dreamy feeling to which the lyrics seemed appropriate one of the better songs but that's not saying much br br after one of the closest races in history russian duo t a t u ended in third place just three points behind turkey and behind with don't trust don't be afraid to me t a t u was one of the very few highlights of the show surprising just about everyone by being some of the most covered up girls of all the female contestants they let their song do the talking and if we ignore the fact that they failed to pitch a few times in the first chorus they let the song speak very well indeed br br the biggest surprise when looking at the was the here in had the biggest odds on that song a song that indeed was beyond horrible but ended up in place could it be that bum of his being to the rhythm of the song that performance was the one that made me and my family laugh the most not because it looked good but because it looked so stupid that it was actually fun br br sweden did what they do the best in 1999 they won with take me to your heaven by sounding like in 2001 they made the top 10 with listen to your again sounding like and once again this year they did it style again ending in the top 10 br br england was finally for making those absolutely horrible non catching songs that they've been the past years br br ireland ripped off the winner from 2000 fly on the wings of love and i could go on and on about how bad the songs were br br i feel a bit sorry for the who this year finally got the chance to see the song contest they deserved better than this br br i wasn't surprised by the show though the from 2000 to me stands out as one of the best in recent years 2001 was quite good but not as good 2002 was okay but certainly no more this year was quite simply disappointing br br let's hope it'll get better next year if not for us then at least for the br br 4 10 one for t a t u one for the close race one for the butt shaking and one for all the rest,negative +i rented this movie because i am a huge fan i figured it couldn't be that bad boy was i wrong at the 15 minute mark i was the others to let me rip the dvd out and it back to the rental store but they refused they it had to get better br br they were wrong this movie was lacking everything the actors delivered their lines with as much emotion as a rock the plot was ridiculous and i was offended that hollywood assumed people were dumb enough to enjoy it none of the characters very well with each other ice t gives one of his worst performances here br br after watching footage of the wrong plane bad guys standing up to get shot and clips being and missing everything i wanted to scream and bang my head on the movie hit its of ignorance when the people on the space station used an elevator to travel space suits are not needed and there is gravity in space regardless of what real may say br br i didn't finish this movie and hated it i don't want to finish this movie this is slow suicide i could feel my cerebral planning to avenge the torture i put it through,negative +don't listen to what the critics have always said about this cute charming little movie madonna is great in this clever comedy i worked at a video store for several years and suggested this movie to lots of customers no one ever brought it back and screamed at me for telling them to rent it everyone always enjoyed it it's actually a great movie for kids too,positive +this was a letdown in many ways the location filming in ireland though quite beautiful at times cannot save this uninspired flick greg and alexandra paul as the married couple trying to get their marriage back on track and who a haunted mansion just aren't interesting characters paul towards the end of the film becomes incredibly annoying and one wishes she would just close her mouth and shut up as it seems she is screaming as if it has just become an olympic event other problems with this film are odd segments that have nothing to do with the core of the film such as the opening sequence with two cleaning women and the woman in a bed with a severed hand climbing over her naked body although the woman is quite adequate doing this it does nothing one is left thinking the production team needed to pad out a short running time and just tossed in some padding and a bit of t and a the cgi effects are cartoonish as well and the fiery finale rivals co executive producer roger much earlier and far superior film the fall of the house of in all its any attempt at true tension and suspense and as a result chills are thrown out the window in this low budget bust if you like images of ireland you might find something here but you would do better renting or buying a skip this unless you are and think plot is secondary rent another low budget ghost story if you can find it titled the woman in black and see how good and scary a movie can be this was a wasted opportunity,negative +a great movie the movie was even better then the commercials put on and believe it or not it was very very inspirational i really think anyone who walks out of the movie at the end will be inspired one way or another br br it was kinda corny at the very beginning but quickly picks up i laughed i laughed very hard on some parts the acting is basically above average nothing special but better then average i can safely say it was the second funniest movie to come out this summer 1st funniest being ii so after all of that i give it a 7 10 a high seven but not quite an eight,positive +that's what i thought when i heard about the cast of and i'm both from germany and into movies br br that guy is older than 50 and so far he almost only played in mediocre tv series and even there he didn't play the main parts obviously nobody ever noticed what he's capable of now thanks to he got one shot to change that and let's put it this way that was a he is the living proof of what a great is br br by the way i think it's a great to watch the movie as a german being able to understand everything and the german dialog is written almost as good as the english br br now i could repeat what many others have written here before i'll put it short finally is back,positive +i watched this movie purely for the setting it was filmed in an old hotel that a friend owns shares of the plot was predictable the acting was at best the scares were all gross outs not true scares br br i don't remember much of the plot and i think that's because there wasn't much of one to remember they didn't even use the hotel to it's potential the are fantastic and the hotel is on a at low tide you can walk almost 1 4 mile into the bay which is actually an eerie sight first thing in the morning or late at night when the wind is howling through the cracks br br the best way to see this movie is with the remote in your hand so you can fast forward through the action and i'm using that term scenes and pause at the beauty of the surroundings,negative +i am one of those people that respect every film maker as having achieved each film i watch i usually respect although i admit i carefully and for what it is not any more this is truly one of the worst scripts i have seen produced as a film so much so i felt compelled to warn others off it the dialogue was truly unbelievable the main was about the last person i would be interested in finding out more about a scene were an old school friend it like it made me laugh only because it was a pathetic attempt to reveal the subtext of an already plot the direction is at best and at worst film making by numbers to compare this film to the atmospheric of a film like five easy pieces is a travesty,negative +a harrowing masterpiece on the sheer madness and despair of war fires on the plain is not going to be to everybody's taste this is a war movie in the possible sense of the term one that neither to flag waving nor sentimentality cuts deep it's ugly and bleak as few things ever committed on celluloid will ever be this is war behind the with no or heroes no moral or to be had just a handful of and terrible looking men across a land by war like fleeing a great disaster the characters defy moral judgment because they are creatures by a great a that does not questions of a moral nature war and survival one's will against the other's in a battlefield the loser is simply removed from existence br br soldier in the japanese army is from his platoon and ordered to report in a nearby hospital on account of him blood and being disliked by the rest of the platoon he's told to never come back and instead commit suicide by hand in case the hospital rejects him which it does the hospital is nothing but a shack made of wooden and the hospital surgeon simply tells him that if he's capable of walking he's just fine it is in that excuse of a hospital that one of the most harrowing scenes of the film takes place as the area is carpet bombed by american planes the doctors and those who can walk and sustain themselves flee from the hospital and into the woods moments before the hospital is blown to pieces the and crippled figures of the sick and injured crawl out of it in every manner of dressed in their white as if the building is some kind of beast and filth out upon the earth br br that is greatest success the stark and brooding depiction of the suffering of war in simple but images without melodrama or pseudo soldiers cross a deep in mud move across the opposite bank and into a field only to discover enemy tanks hiding in the woods their lights shining like eyes as they the dark a of injured soldiers dirty and half mad crossing a road dropping to the ground on the sound of enemy planes on a pile of dead bodies an abandoned village a mad soldier that believes himself to be sitting under a tree covered with flies and his own offering his arm to be eaten by when he's dead these are the images for our eyes and in their but honest and raw br br doesn't rush to get somewhere it is content to follow travels through the war torn land as he tries to reach the center of and observe the madness and of war the movie through the of the horror of war slow and brooding just like the characters it follows the final thirty minutes with taking with two who feed on are the closest comes to to conventional and they're no less powerful for that matter strikingly photographed in black and white with great performances from the cast and assured direction is not only among the best war movies to be made but also among the finest of japanese cinema,positive +another asian horror movie packed with intense and creepy moments another asian horror trademark is the complexity of the plot which is here as well major spoiler warning br br the movie starts pretty simple two sisters go to live with their dad and stepmother after being put in a mental institution after their mother herself the sisters seem very hostile towards their mother especially the elder one and they seem to ignore their father all goes smoothly until the mother locks the young sister in the wardrobe and the elder sister tells her father then it hits you your sister has been dead for years now it turns out the older sister is still not from the death of her mother and what we didn't know is that the wardrobe the mother was in fell on the younger sister and killed her as well as for the stepmother she is the alter ego of the older sister revealed when the stepmother actually the sister's alter ego is sitting on a couch when the real stepmother walks in i hope it has been made for confused asian horror fans out there br br finally my favourite scene is the scene where the father invites friends over for dinner and one of the friends starts to choke which into a panic attack very creepy 7 out of 10,positive +certainly this proves beyond a shadow of doubt that patricia arquette is what she is promoted to be an actress this is undoubtedly her finest moment of acting and she certainly deserves the credit for her work never in any of her other movies with the possible exception of holy has she been totally believable and authentic br br plot a young woman finds herself in asia and is suddenly thrown into the political havoc of the countryside she witnesses mass murder and and escapes br br it is one movie that you must see or you have not seen all of hollywood's finest i rank it in the top 100 films of all time br br thanks bob,positive +i saw this late at night on a minor channel and i put it on expecting a laugh or two martin lawrence is a good comic actor and i he might be a good stand up comedian actor in the style of richard br br i couldn't have been more wrong this concert was awful it was full of racist comments directed at white people muslims and people from india muslims and indians are the same thing in narrow mind and rambling clichéd philosophy lawrence like many black comics and directors can't resist the urge to when given a platform do we really need a lecture on martin king and the civil rights struggle during a stand up comedy show then there were his comments designed to him with women it made my skin crawl listening to him br br worst of all the show simply wasn't funny and i found it boring i turned over halfway through and back to find him either still preaching or going on and on and on about the birth of his child there was no humour in the story of the birth of his child and it was self indulgent on his part to bore us with the details he clearly didn't have very much to say or he would have cut this section of the show out br br this show was rubbish,negative +i like underground films when they have something to say or show for that matter i tried hard to like trash i tried to see some artistic achievement or some interesting representation of new york city life in the early 70's or at least being entertained by it but the movie stinks and can't be called either art or entertainment br br trash is basically an excuse to expose joe nude body for 2 hours while he meets other uninteresting annoying figures i agree that's a gorgeous body but no excuse for a whole movie about it right holly as girlfriend provides a few good laughs by the end but then it's too late to save those wasted couple of hours lou classic song walk on the wild side is a better portrayal of those people and that time even if it's more fascinating than they actually were 1 5 10,negative +i saw this movie at the 2005 toronto international film festival br br based on the novel by jonathan everything is is the directorial debut of actor also wrote the screenplay in the movie jonathan wood items from his family from to to of paper which he then in and to a wall in his house to record his family history but the space for his grandfather is bare all jonathan really has of him is a piece of jewelry and an old photo of him with a woman who him from the nazis during the second world war jonathan decides to a quest to to find the woman thank her and learn more about his grandfather br br his quest is aided there by a couple of characters who run a tourist company for jewish people including a young man obsessed with western culture eugene his grandfather boris who thinks he is blind and who may have memories and demons of his own from the war and his seeing eye dog br br the screenplay effectively combines both humour and drama as the three characters travel through the countryside looking for town driving deeper and deeper into the memories of the past the best performance probably comes from eugene playing alex jr who starts the movie as a wearing break dancing just out to have fun but into something more as not only jonathan but all the characters gain their own br br wood and eugene attended the screening and did a very humorous q a after the film br br was very close to his grandfather who was a immigrant and who died in 1993 this caused him to start to write to get his memories down on paper meanwhile he was asked to do a reading of short story the very rigid search which was an from the still novel was blown away by the quality of the writing saying that had done in 15 pages what tried to do in approached and they talked about their culture movies and the nature of short term memory in america in the end agreed to let adapt the book br br own project was intended to be a road movie but the book has parallel narrative that is an imagined history of the town of that 500 years given his budget and limitations as a filmmaker he said he'd leave that to and take the road trip instead this imagined was what moved him to make the movie in the first place the idea that a past lovingly imagined was as valuable as a past accurately br br said the movie was a series of happy after searching in for an actor he was walking through the lower east side in new york when he saw a poster of a woman topless from the up with an insane sitting her under the poster said the name punk gypsy band br br eugene then took over the story he had never pursued acting as music was his first passion one day a friend gave him the book and he thought it was written in a manner similar to how he writes music screw sentences language is my own br br later they got a call from a production company looking for eastern european music that was medieval but modern met with and he soon found the movie was based on the book he just happened to be reading not long after that came up asked what he thought about alex and whether he could do the character by any chance br br and talked about the film in the fall of 2001 shortly after the events of september 11 both were in europe at the time and they talked about the comments they were hearing about americans which led to want to try to find an american who would defy the stereotype that europeans have of americans someone who was awkward vulnerable flawed innocent and looking for history beyond the borders of his own country started thinking about who that was and came up br br one of as a filmmaker is kusturica i think that's who he said who also directed a segment in another festival movie all the invisible children who said you don't look for the actors you look for the people said there is something about who is that he has a of spirit and a sincere goodness as a human being that came across on film said that the eyes are important when trying to a character who is an and that if eyes are the doors to the soul are garage doors br br wood had fun with a question about the similarities between his character kevin in sin city and jonathan in this movie as both are sort of a blank on which emotions are projected wood that jonathan may seem still and seemingly but it is all about his observations about his experiences with other characters and the environment he was in br br on the differences between directing and writing said he likes writing a lot more and described directing as hell after his grandfather died started to think about how to some sense of history and himself is he content driven or not or just good at other people's work he said he loved the exercise of out what is emotional to you important to you,positive +is full of energy and it's honest realistic and refreshing not a comedy or drama but more a slice of life movie about this particular group of very interesting but still normal young people who share an apartment in for one year beautifully photographed with a nice soundtrack if you're older this movie should bring back a of good memories if you're young learn by this example,positive +where do i begin the story was so bad it must have been written in a high school film club the acting was so wooden i felt sorry for the actors one actor even reminded me of what a deer must look like when staring into a another actor has this constant look of being but it was the dialog that takes the cake br br our hero says to his all holding guns if you lay a finger on a female prisoner you will be dead moments later the strongest guard built like a truck and the only women prisoner go at it when our leader who has this very annoying gangster voice catches wind of this he walks up to the guard while machine guns are trained on him and in a split second this giant guy's neck like he was breaking a tooth pick he then gets back in line while all the villains with their machine guns do absolutely nothing but essentially yell at him br br i could go on and on this movie is camp gem and if you have any sense of humor it's guaranteed to make you laugh so hard your eyes will tear,negative +some spoilers br br there's nothing in this movie that you haven't already seen the net nothing is shocking about this film in the film a man a goat there's a and a face gets burnt off all of these scenes of extreme violence are so fake it makes one wonder why anyone would even want to this piece of trash i simply cannot believe i spent hard earned money on what certainly has to be the worst film ever made don't let reviews fool you this film would be a shame for anyone to own except maybe who want to torture inmates for a real exploitation classic look to freaks or even the more recent doom generation island of death sinks to the bottom of the movie toilet and needs to be out of existence,negative +once again woody allen seems to be completely devoid of any inspiration other than himself here we have a mock documentary like the structure of the film is a series of radio days broadway danny rose set in the 30's purple rose bullets over broadway about a low life harry who believes being a genius him from being a jerk given this film and harry one wonders if this is allen's justification for his own actions with adopted daughter yes i was a jerk but i'm a genius so you gotta love me br br allen has only produced two good movies in the past ten years the fine but bullets over broadway and the excellent but largely ignored manhattan murder mystery his other efforts range from new york stories mighty to edgy yet experimental husbands and wives to pure alice scenes from a mall shadows and fog celebrity harry his films no longer even try to have a narrative arc and his humor seems to aim at amusing not funny after harry i stopped seeing his films in theaters after sweet and i may stop renting them as well,negative +they must be i'll list them so that you can check them off one by one br br police regularly leave of millions of

credited actors never acted again,negative +i think this is one of those few movies that i want to rate it as low as possible just to pay it a compliment br br i haven't seen this movie in about 25 years so i really can't say that much about it it still seems to be very hard to find on video but i remember my brother and i stumbled upon it somewhere in the toxic of late night channel television of the mid 1980s when i was about 10 years old so i've never actually seen the beginning of the movie but i saw most of it the first thing i remember is this couple is out of a and they're to an island to make out and then they get attacked by an insane in a with an axe they manage to escape from him but get attacked by the monster which in this movie is just a head and a neck with no body the eyes and the mouth of the monster don't even move it looks like a br br i mean i had just literally never seen anything on this before and it totally blew my mind i had seen some bad movies on tv in the early 80s but i had never seen something so totally inept and so casually and constructed that it seemed like the people who made it spent less time and effort on it than we did watching it i had already seen some of the troma films and that type of thing that tries to deliberately be campy but this was the pure and real stuff and it was my first encounter with truly great bad film making this movie was like the last gasp of the drive in era and i caught a of it just in time actually when we were watching it we couldn't figure out if it was made in the 50s or the 70s turns out it came out just a few years before i saw it br br later i came into contact with mystery science theater and found out about a lot of the old b movies and serials but i had already seen it in this movie the movie is so funny that i had never even laughed that hard at the monty python crew or bill murray or any comedian after seeing this movie i was always trying to search for the good bad movies and i got a lot of my friends into it but this movie was and basically is an impossible one to find i never really found out what it even was or who larry was until the 1990s when imdb took off and the internet took off and information started getting passed around but this movie still needs to be discovered by a lot of others who might appreciate its bad qualities look for it,negative +i've seen this movie a few times and with each viewing i still feel the excitement of on a journey and the frustration of trying to overcome the that the path it's more than a mere desire of finding home it's about the very basic human spirit of finding one's way in the world of despair of facing the character that our goals underlying these human is the challenge to the origin of life while this film is with serious ideas it has just enough comedic lines to leave the viewers hopeful it is surprisingly funny the execution of the story line is excellent this is all with visually engaging animation a must see br br,positive +peterson directs this thriller that has clint eastwood playing service agent frank who matches wits with a clever psycho john in a cat and mouse game involving the the protection of the president mitch keeps in touch with the agent with remarks about his abilities as well as the secret protection of the in the past agent raines russo tries to keep grounded but he is head strong in stopping from carrying out his of assassination very good fx and fast pace the plot eastwood and are superb russo has a way of getting your attention out this strong cast are dylan mcdermott fred dalton thompson john and gary cole,positive +i like this movie i may be biased because i love however my 3 and 4 old will sit and watch the whole movie it's not oscar material but definitely entertaining the cinematography is well done with a beautiful backdrop of ocean scenery and my favorite scene is when the pop can out of the water striking sandy in the head it's an endearing funny moment that makes me laugh every time on the other hand the villainous of the bully forget his name are a little hard to take and the shark scene is far from reality question do really make that much noise or is there some serious dubbing happening here bottom line my kids like it and it keeps through our vcr,positive +i thought this was very different compared to most modern interpretations of shakespeare and enjoyed it thoroughly it would not be useful for those studying it at school etc as it does not show the traditional shakespeare character interpretations i e miranda is portrayed quite compared to your traditional shakespeare lady but for understanding of the play and for the basis of the story it is a very strong piece and fantastic to watch it does not include also the correct format as in the of acts and scenes as i am currently playing miranda in a production and most of her lines had been cut and some scenes split and mixed around but it is very useful and i would definitely recommend it as a must see even if just to say you've seen it shakespeare fans would love this,positive +clive barker of fame has written and produced a fantasy horror film that is funny and exciting br br the make up done by bob keen and geoffrey was fantastic it took quite an imagination to come up with these mutants that lived underground it was really a treat to see the quality of work br br it wasn't particularly horrible as the worst creature was actually a human serial killer br br i just saw craig in shadow of doubt the other day and he did a good job in this film also nothing spectacular but fair this was only anne third film and she was good also br br the ending was spectacular and the got their just as did david ha,positive +supposedly a movie about a magazine sending to investigate reports of with one being more or less or about the whole affair and the other an aussie a hardened who laughs at the nonsense it's all a some kind of money making br br turns out this movie is actually a and a trap to actually christian and the christian explanation of one i've heard before this is an ad explanation that is itself not at all biblical but invented by certain modern who can fit anything and everything into their mythology the it's real just demonic unless it takes place in a christian context then of course it is of god simple if it isn't of god it's the of the devil stupid so i suppose since wasn't inspired by god it must have been written under demonic influence or so would the logic lead ad br br we are informed that since the bible does not tell of life on other planets in the universe therefore there is none a version of the ad and that god created the universe so huge so grand to show us his almighty power i think of carl remark that if god created such a huge universe and stuck life only on earth it'd have been a tremendous waste of space br br so what are they are demonic activity and concern the soon to be christian event the i mean rapture before the the true christians will disappear from the face of the earth en causing mass panic confusion car and plane crashes whatever therefore satan knowing this is sending his demons to basically create an illusion of alien and alien which can then be used to explain away this otherwise inexplicable event all part of plan which will of course keep people from looking to god or jesus and fall for the lies of the br br this ad explanation also by explaining away one mystery with another in opposition to the scientific method of explaining the unknown the strange and the mysterious in as much as possible first by the known if not solely by the known br br it's like jumping straight to an alien whenever a child is missing and for i think i'd look first at more mundane explanations like the child has run away gotten lost or been kidnapped for or by a before aliens or the supernatural or satan or some such br br this kind of or trap on the part of is nothing new as young people are often to free rock that may start out with something then suddenly switch to overt christian music followed by a and an call this kind of blatant deception one might think would be more but maybe because the christian faith is soon to be in its death these guys feel that anything goes any deception or or scare tactics are acceptable to try to keep the faith alive which is facing serious opposition from both as well as competing like islam the world's growing religion which may well replace christianity as islam is far more cohesive and and more than christian although this should offer little advantage to mankind as it would be replacing one thought system with another br br and of course the movie ends more or less with a of the aussie who is skeptical about just about everything is told well if you are right about there being no and death is nothing but rotting in the grave no worry but what if you're wrong br br basically statements that reality is going to to nothing but an viewpoint or christian fantasy is a false dilemma or black and white even if the are wrong would not necessarily make christianity correct by nor if christianity turns out to be full of holes in its that the are therefore correct by br br for all we know native american might turn out to be the best description of ultimate reality and we might all of use have wished we treated the earth and its creatures a wee bit better br br this movie should be right on the box caution contains religious propaganda and not meant for informative or entertainment purposes,negative +let's face it of bad movies are made all the time for those people who work in film you have probably a lot of time and effort into many of these plot less wonders sometimes and this is my opinion it is the act of merely making the movie that is important to us to tell a story no matter how simple and unrealistic also the process is one key characteristic that is unique to film and theater to put on a production of any caliber requires the talents of a varying amount of people depending on its scale to bring its story to life the most intriguing part of american movie however is not the movie being filmed it is the movie maker himself as a character of his own life which demands our attention none of them serve as models of the filmmakers we know and have worked with but i will argue they are of small parts of us which try to be a part of this cult activity of independent film making alright a very small part of us these are the people who live under the rocks of their own lives and just so happen to be by the romance of cinema this leads me to my next argument american movie captures the raw spirit of independent film making bad stories told on nowadays digital film with sloppy effects and horrible performances because this is the best they can do with a budget of a couple thousand dollars rather than a studio budget of several million dollars a day that is the difference between low low low end productions and studio productions the independent filmmaker just wants to create a linear or even a story to shoot as well as he can with the money he's in himself and the resources around him in order to see a finished product on his tv rugged in every art form i find this film to be a brilliant document of truth for many filmmakers and no i'm not full of myself man these people are hilarious their problems seem hilarious their characteristics are hilarious best line of the movie it's alright it's okay there's something to live for jesus told me so said a million times by a funny old man off to tom beach chicago rules,positive +total crap br br i was kind of excited to see this as it is the only film version i have seen of park i suffered through the first four episodes but when it came to the scene between henry and i and had to turn it off whoever employs this le lady has got to be both blind and deaf cause the woman is the worst actress i've ever seen in my life the whole thing is just bad bad bad i don't know i just don't know why people who write jane austen screenplays seem to be incapable of giving her work the respect it deserves,negative +missed it at the cinema but was always slightly compelled found it in the throw out bin at my local video shop for a two bucks will i now give it away to anyone who wants it probably no plot one dimensional characters plastic world ripped off from many far better films no decent dialogue to speak of you know that empty feeling when you come down off ecstasy its that feeling right here sad thing is the australia i know is heading in this direction minus the melodrama and simple answers interesting only to see the older aussie actors who had to act back in their day to get by vs the newer aussie actors who have to look good to get by like some horribly narrative introduction to a film clip that never actually starts poor started her career as an actress as well,negative +during the brief golden age of the super 8 sound home movies we purchased a for 00 on close out at a downtown chicago camera store it seemed that was getting out of the camera business although they would continue with their other such as the former master 3 dimensional color slide viewers br br little did we know nor the rapid approach of the video camera the the vhs and the eventual dvd with the super 8 sound camera that we also purchased we took some sound film records as our daughter first holy and her younger sister from pre school this was all circa 1979 br br during this time we also purchased a few daddy toys to go with it like some super 8 sound laurel hardy films and w c shorts from films we also picked up a columbia pictures home movies sound film of a then sort of forgotten classic cartoon united productions of america columbia 1951 it was the hit of our home movies time br br being members of that baby generation the wife deanna and had of the character of for had a network tv show on cbs early sunday 1955 bill was the host but we had never seen this original theatrical cartoon nor was it known to us that the young master was a creation of dr seuss of grinch and street fame br br the staff assembled was very talent rich and deep the outstanding production values are apparent director robert cannon and director john were veterans at the top of their craft writers were theodore dr seuss himself phil and bill scott br br mr scott is remembered not so much for his writing to but for being partners with jay ward in such television as rocky mr george of the jungle hooper and with the jay ward productions he was a writer voice man and general of the whole company br br the cartoon receives its only voice from the narrator radio movie tv actor marvin miller remember him he was michael anthony on the tv the millionaire don productions cbs television network 1955 60 br br bold color and imaginative design went into giving the animations a special feelings of loneliness fear and eventual triumph and we might add the animation is definitely of the limited variety br br as with so many great stories starts out with a simple premise one's being born different in this case it is young boy who has been born to make sound effects in rather than talking kids can be cruel and soon he is dubbed with his not so nick name by a group of youthful your not it's the noise making boy at this point the animation team does an outstanding job in shifting the emotional in the young from happy to isolated lonely and finally to depression despair in not being able to turn to anyone for help and understanding not even to his mother and father br br a fashioned dark scene involving a highly stylized run away scene involving a train and an equally stylized brings right to the brink of absolute despair but then he is interrupted by a gentleman that young is wanted by the producer of some radio program to provide the sounds for the show down at the studio br br once the premiere show is done with starring in the sound department he rides off in a huge which seems to have anticipated those s t r e t c h of our day to the cheers and admiration of his classmates and the world br br it has been said that there are only so many plots and in that case this story is most likely a variation on the ugly for after all a sad and lonely boy finds his place in the world and true happiness br br note united productions of america or for short was an outstanding center of creativity in the field of the animated cartoon they were responsible not only for and several sequels and a tv series but also the highly popular mr theatrical cartoons and subsequent tv show with voice talent of jim the classic original tv cartoon of the snowman and the rather bizarre dick tracy cartoon show with voice rendered by mr everett sloane,positive +upon writing this review i have difficulty trying to think of what to write about nothing much happens in this film the storyline is a south asian woman who falls for an english the problem is he and his friends have had a racist streak at the same time her friend at work is to her having sexual relations with her brother and it just from there the problem is that this movie is very predictable as soon as all this stuff has happened it's all pretty much standard it drags slightly even though it's only about 90 minutes long this is more of a chick flick than anything else so if you're male i do not recommend this film to you,negative +journey to the far side of the sun is about the discovery of a planet on the other side of the sun which shares the same as earth and therefore has been until a space on the far side of the sun photographs it of course two roy ian are sent to explore it but due to a they crash find themselves back on earth only 3 weeks into their six week journey of course they're at least is is injured and and asked why they turned back on their mission but it's claimed that they didn't until seems to notice a few very odd things about being back home this is excellent if somewhat talky at times and the sets and feel aren't a far cry from thunderbirds territory but will live actors for once it's no big star wars type production but more quiet science fiction that one has to think about a bit well worth seeing and it's criminal that the dvd is out of print 8 out of 10,positive +this is one of l shorts most frequently as the first real l h and perhaps one of their best silent features j ollie is a millionaire who has come to the to his nephew philip whom he's never seen at first ollie is laughing it up with everyone when this strange little man and draws a great deal of attention to himself by the way he's behaving during his medical but is quite when it turns out that this is the fellow he's supposed to be he has been told that philip is a good boy but he has one weakness women and philip set off to go home but their journey there is continually interrupted by philip breaking into a little dance every time he sees a woman then chasing after the woman huge crowds gather each time this happens not so much because he's chasing but because philip himself is also wearing a a finally manages to drag philip into a shop to be for a proper pair of pants but philip escapes from there as well to chase more there are lots of laughs all around it's also nice to see a short like this because the boys aren't exactly the characters we know and love ollie is pretty much his usual character but it's such a joy to see stan acting so differently from his usual man child character it shows he wasn't a one trick and in other types of roles when he got the chance with a run time of 19 minutes its short and sweet providing classic one liners which still have me in,positive +what starts out as a passable movie into one of the most incoherent made stupid attempted horror films of recent years br br absolutely terrible it's such a derivative mess ripping off every decent fright flick you can think of without successfully producing a single scare whether it's the recent trend with creepy kids or ghosts walking past the camera or the old school horror of gates of hell br br the worst thing is there's not even a cat jumping out of a to make you jump to be avoided,negative +if you want to see a brilliant performance of played to perfection with expert timing and don't watch this version if you want to see a hammy version with eric around in 1930's english private club society this is the one to watch it's a lot of fun and a good intro to gilbert and sullivan but after this rush out and rent the canadian version you'll see the difference between good and great nobody does g s better than brian and the group,positive +in the closet takes the father teenage son genre to new levels of low this is a movie that serves no purpose the plot is out in the first few minutes there is no suspense the characters are cliché and despite plot twists that try to confuse and everything plays out exactly as you think it will halfway through the movie i could no longer stand the pace and started fast the movie ended exactly as i expected linda hamilton is great as always and the other actors are above average considering there seems to be a complete lack of direction if you really believe you need to see this uninspired lackluster wannabe watch it on fast forward,negative +man i can't believe the largely harsh and negative comments for this movie okay it sure ain't no sophisticated work of cinematic art but it is a good deal of tacky fun for starters the titular headed supernatural killer dude has to be one of the single most laughably silly and things to ever stumble in front of a camera he looks like something you would see in a fourth rate carnival secondly the gore is ridiculously fake and unconvincing with the definite highlight occurring when this annoying uptight ultra conservative woman gets by a then there's the always welcome presence of the ever lovely who's introduced taking a nice long utterly gratuitous shower that goes on for two minutes amazingly we also have appearances by deceased schlock picture legends john carradine as an evil and cameron mitchell as a horror tv show host moreover scream queens stevens and dawn have fleeting cameos lead child actor ryan projects all the charm and acting ability of a old tree pretty brunette rachel carter pops her top and her cute little breasts the special effects are decidedly less than special the score is suitably overwrought yet this film overall has a certain hokey appeal to it which in turn makes this honey a real cheesy hoot to watch,positive +red dust is both well acted and well made but what the movie is about i think will bore many viewers as it did to me there was a film that was out earlier called in my country with sam jackson and it was not that well received and both films were about nearly the same exact thing i do think red dust was better because of the more interesting performances especially by future oscar winner but the plot is just to lacking it starts off pretty strong but then the film hits the viewers with countless un interesting court room sessions this could have been a great film if the writing was not so lacking but see if for the performances,positive +while it would be easy and accurate to go into why is at its heart of many oriented in the way it rips off from other better sitcoms the real truth is that the show is repetitive full of stereotypes from funnier and more groundbreaking shows and the lead star is completely out of her element while i'm sure ms mcintire can sing and has a fan base that supports that being in a sitcom shooting out and calling her the next lucille ball is far far removed from reality br br herself has no presence which is needed here to establish the fact that she is cast as the put upon woman of which her entire family is centered yet after watching a few episodes there is no real connection to the character i could care less about her adventures because her whole character seems to be mcintire has no screen presence and to make a show around her seems very short and of most programming to push a sitcom full of men stupid women do everything stereotypes that appeal to nobody but those who can't afford cable br br the show is a waste of time the only good thing is that it at least has better production values than your standard ripoff just,negative +i've read the book and was expecting a good movie the first time i saw it i'm afraid to say that i was disappointed the movie did not follow the book and made many changes that i did not like br br one of the changes that i did not like the way that lord was portrayed it made no sense to make him out to be a bad man the way that things ended between lord and scarlett was a lot different and their whole relationship was too intimate br br there was also a lot less confrontation between scarlett and in the movie than was originally written in the book the movie sent the two in two completely opposite ways and they did not seem to cross paths often enough to make it seem like there still could be love between the two a fine movie but i believe that it certainly could've been better than it was had it more true to alexandra book,negative +is it possible to give a 0 out of 10 rating because this one deserves it while i'm not a big fan of jane books i sat through this one with two women who are well at least we had a big laugh about how bad this film is robert hardy was the only actor with any charisma in the whole thing though he it as he usually does nearly as bad as william shatner but that wasn't enough to save this stinker from total it's often hard to separate the girl's dream sequences from what is really happening and so many holes are left in the story that you can barely figure out what is going on too many loose ends and the ending feels like a tune in again next week climax the lead actress is too and weird looking to be a heroine the leading man is too goofy looking and to be a convincing hero and the music sounds like some kind of cheap new pet project of the director's daughter i mean mixed in with some kind of spacey operatic female so in conclusion i suggest you blow the budget and order a dvd of this one as soon as possible especially if you like disappointment,negative +this movie was just so utterly horrible that i couldn't get through the entire thing without turning it off it was just that bad when i was watching it i kept thinking it looked like some really cheap film made back in the 60's or something with those terrible looking special effects but then i realized that this was just made in 2001 br br the dialog and the acting were really very horrible and the plot was almost non existent i didn't think anyone would go back to making films that look so cheap and old i'm not sure if they did that on purpose or if they really didn't have any budget for this movie at all it really looks like it was shot on someone's camcorder at a local person's house or something maybe they thought they were being retro or something but it just comes off looking really cheesy br br i really don't know how anyone could ever actually enjoy watching this br br 0 out of 5 's,negative +i literally ran to watch it expecting a film that will make me cry or touch my heart br br what i found was not heart but a lame exploitation of 1 strong human character br br between a pair of young lesbians and an man br br in a setting that is devoid of sound not to mention acting of the most common br br it was not entirely bad as i have seen worst and i left the cinema 10 but that a film well advertised is not the same as a film well made,negative +a romp across a this adventure through it's downright comedy from the confrontation of cultural as drama from crisis perhaps a little too for some i would love to have watched in a cinema audience in the shockingly good,negative +the good news for imdb is that this movie was so very bad that it compelled me to register and make a comment i should add here that i'm a film buff who rarely passes harsh judgment but sometimes a movie is so poorly acted poorly conceived poorly edited with a such a poor story line that it begs criticism br br i'm surprised by all the claims of how superb brilliant dark and beautifully shot this movie was i can only conclude that the cast and crew are active posters here the acting was extremely thin the pace of the movie was i gave it new chances at every turn mostly because i didn't want to feel like i was wasting a saturday morning in ny but with every new scene it dragged longer delivering characters in which i took no interest with which i could not connect for whom i could not empathize br br when i see negative reviews on imdb of small independent films like this i sometimes wonder if the poster has a personal axe to something like he used to date the she dumped him and now he's going to trash everything she ever works on but here nope i know no one who worked on this film and i wish it would have been great but the film wasn't dark as some have mentioned or depressing as others have claimed those suggest that i connected with the film nope henry may long was just too long empty and tedious br br that's the take on this one,negative +one of the enduring classics from mgm came out in the closing years of world war ii it's the film that made young elizabeth taylor a star she had done a few films as a child actress before national but when it came out her place in the movies was assured ironically enough she'd be growing up fast enough after national was out and her next struggle as an actress was to get substantial adult roles because casting directors only saw her as innocent little brown who loved her jumping horse br br i'm not sure of how this would work because horses have to have confirmed and the are a subject not dealt with in national all we know is that he's a reckless and horse in the hands of owen and after he breaks free and causes considerable damage owen gets rid of him for a price to the local butcher donald crisp br br at the same time as these things are happening mickey rooney comes wandering into the lives of the brown family which consists of crisp wife anne and daughters angela lansbury and elizabeth taylor and their little brother butch rooney is a former who's now on the open road and heading for the brown family where his father was once a horse for anne family it's he who sees the potential of the short for pirate as a and it's elizabeth who convinces crisp not to pass up this chance br br elizabeth taylor was so sweet and innocent in national the good book says you have to have faith like a child and she has it to spare she rooney with it to have faith in the heart and ability of the and to leave a little over for himself br br anne won a best supporting actress award for national she's a very wise mother who has hidden depths to her that the audience doesn't suspect it turns out that back in her youth she had a taste of fame and glory swimming the english channel and her prize money saved all these years she gives to her daughter that scene is probably what won her the oscar national also won one other academy award for film editing br br over 60 years after it made its debut national as a family classic hasn't lost a thing its depiction of life between the world wars in great britain is still a standout and national launched a movie legend can't do much better than that for high regard,positive +michael jackson's thriller 1983 has to be the greatest video ever made dude you have zombies gore and a catchy tune what more can you ask for john mixed elements from night of the living dead and american werewolf in london and out came this video what starts out as a nice evening for a young couple turns into a date from hell literally you have dancing zombies a werewolf in a funky jacket and vincent price a cool video to a song that everybody in the neighborhood marked out to br br i have to give this one a high recommendation because it has to be the best music video ever made there hasn't been another one like it br br check out the making of thriller the documentary has some interesting stuff in it,positive +i recently rented this movie as part of a nostalgic phase i'm going through i was born in 1980 and so film from mid 80s to mid 90s has quite an important place in my growing up br br this particular movie was one of my favourites and so i was thrilled when it became available in the uk it hasn't become worse with time it is still a great fun film with plenty of excitement in its own way sure it in the shadow of bigger larger budget films but don't let that stop you enjoying this br br worth a rent or even a purchase at the you'll find it for,positive +very odd this seems like a very average movie to me if not slightly less it is brilliantly shot but together with the performance of r lee that's about the only redeeming aspect i found in the movie which consists of two separate parts br br the first part covers the basic marine training which watching it in 2007 comes off like something i've see a times before in dozens of other movies and series and it's not particularly gripping after 30 minutes i got the idea and wished they could just get on with it the sergeant is about the only believable character while everyone else seem to be just cardboard cut outs the general acting is and the screenplay is devoid of anything interesting and consists of little more than the sergeant shouting the boys make it through their training and end up in vietnam oh and the fat weirdo shoots the sergeant what a surprise probably in the mistaken belief that it was actually the scriptwriter br br so one hour passed and nothing worthy of note happened nothing br br then we have the vietnam part br br it opens with a scene where of stars and are bored and are making small talk to pass the time at first i thought they were re some movie scenes from old films it sounded pretty bad but no they were actually their script lines then the camp is some 20 enter the camp through the main gate too bad for them they are being dropped like flies because they simply walk into several gun with no means of cover is that normal behaviour were the all if so how come the us didn't win this war during the first two months of engagement the rest of the movie continues with even more completely illogical war scenes br br furthermore the whole plot is altogether pointless none of the characters inspire much sympathy and the story is frankly rather it shows little more other than some war up with a platoon with some guys getting shot because they are morons and who also seem to think that somehow a hole in a wall will protect you from bullets br br what was the message of this movie that people died in vietnam that people are animals in war situations that if you want to of really dumb people you send them to a war zone or that somehow in vietnam can actually burn br br i'm sorry but if this movie deserves an 8 3 then apocalypse now deserves a 3 br br 5 10,negative +on assignment in italy beautiful lip turner as meets older singer and prince as mr the two fall in love while enjoying the pretty italian countryside mr is called away to his father's death bed leaving in the twelve years later ms turner is a los angeles actress about to make a motion picture about falling in love with a king turner is being by co star barry sullivan who wants to marry her then king re enters her br br mr provides a tired storyline for sex symbol turner and bass who appeared for several decades with the new york opera likely earned his mgm feature film career after appearing in the hugely successful stage production of south pacific 1949 the cast album and golden some enchanted evening single sold millions supporting main cedric and debbie reynolds give the film a even greater sense of wasted resources br br mr 1951 don turner barry sullivan,negative +i first saw this film on cable in the 80's and it me to the core it showed up again on tv about six months ago br br filmed on location the black and white cinematography portrays 1950's new york as the gritty urban jungle at a time when there was far more industry and activity in the city particularly in manhattan br br john cassavetes always brought a special intensity to his acting and is magnificent in the role of the army his brief 1959 tv series johnny is also a joy to watch br br sidney and later in the film ruby dee bring and to their roles but it is jack superb acting as the vicious brutal shift boss that grabbed my attention to get an idea of watch this film then check out a episode of the tv series naked city entitled of the rose street gang available on video if you are a fan of film noir this is a must see enjoy,positive +i saw this movie as part of a billy graham program the church i attend was part of a community wide to present god and christianity to our community usa i was one of the who helped who were invited to come forward and make whatever kind of religious profession they wanted and to follow up on them after the movie as such it did what it was supposed to do and i personally found it to be a medium to my faith in god i also found it to be very helpful to those i i especially like the work of kim in this movie and the parents the were in a way a little no one says to their child if they think that he or she may be the parent of an child something like the did oh no no not that isn't exactly what they said but the audience i saw had a laugh at whatever it was they did say and also at the son's no mom not me don,negative +well first of all it's not a bad movie it is good and i like the characters introduced i also like lady and voices more in this br br however i would like to see lady and tramp more i know it says and i love and angel to bits but it's a sequel to the original where in my opinion they should of just released it as not and the tramp ii br br tramp did have quite a role but he didn't have much time with lady br br but anyway the songs are quite good and and angel are sweet i've seen better sequels but hey it's not a failure br br i give it 7 10 very good but still had flaws,positive +my friends and i have often about movies being in real time but this movie really is they will literally show 4 minutes of nothing but a guy digging in the dirt with his hands it has no plot and an incredible amount of gratuitous screaming i honestly don't believe that it won an award for it's alleged suspense if you are like me and saw the first film and loved it for it's horrible acting accidentally hilarious one liners and all around low budget it won't matter this is so bad it's bad memories might even rub off and any good memories you have of the original you would be more entertained if you were staring at a blank screen,negative +simply i just watched this movie just because of sarah am also giving these 4 stars just because of her on the other side this movie was easily one of the worst movies i have ever seen was horrible the script was uninspired this was a movie that kept itself the film was sloppy and unoriginal its not like i was expecting a good film just something to give me a jump or two this did not even do that br br he worst thing is that the more i think about the overall plot the less sense it actually makes and the more holes we keep finding a real shame really as i'm fairly sure that there was a good idea lurking in there somewhere br br i'm perhaps being a bit harsh giving the film a 4 10 but given the actors involved and again sara obvious writing talent this film really should have delivered far more,negative +when i stepped into the theater i thought this was going to be a great movie and i was not disappointed one bit wow this movie is brilliant the emotions felt through out the whole movie are extraordinary great acting by and beautiful music by a r this might most probably be the best movie i've seen in ages has yet again proved that he is the best in making meaningful and heartfelt movies br br this movie is basically about a young girl p s who is in search of her mother who abandoned her in a camp to fight for her country just like her husband j d a young novelist finds out about this young girl's story and decides to write a story about her he and his wife decide to adopt this young child but one day she finds out that they are not her real parents and decides to search for her mother br br this movie really screams excellent the way presented the movie is magnificent br br my rating 10 10,positive +i am a huge gone with the wind fan and i read scarlett before it was a miniseries and loved it this is a sequel of sorts like you didn't expect it with that frankly dear i don't give a damn ending timothy dalton was great as though no one will ever replace clark gable kilmer on the other hand could give leigh a run for her money though i feel almost guilty even saying that her attitude and presence in the film fits the character to a making you love and hate her at the same time which is how most feel about ms portrayal as well the film does move slowly mostly because it follows the book so closely and was not released as a feature film excellent choice on the part i think this movie deserves some recognition for the great storyline the revival of characters that had been gone for almost 50 years and for being something that even margaret mitchell herself could have been proud of,positive +this movie is really an entertaining good clean fun movie for the played by talented amanda is the sidekick to a boy who has a hard time telling the truth he eventually works this into a movie script that gets stolen i won't bore you with the details if you have children and want to see an entertaining if not thrilling kids movie i highly recommend this one,positive +alice is the kind of movie they made in the 30's and 40's never attempts to be an event just wants to entertain and it does i was surprised by sutherland in a role that could be a cliche he made it real the plot does make to alice in wonderland a guy dressed in white does go through a hole and does fall down one like alice the plot does twist and turn but with a you don't see in small movies i loved the direction sutherland just a very fast paced and interesting movie,positive +when you're used to turner in the always rings twice and compare it to this low budget low talent low quality film well i was just embarrassed for more like talking and non piano playing scenes when the first non singing scene started and all the people just at her i was positive they were all going to roll their eyes and start leaving or at least talking among themselves she stinks c'mon let's get out of here the actors are flat emotions are and is a real spoiled throughout just a 100 this was like betty on conscious meets a gas station attendant in usa the story was flat the music was flat the acting was flat her chest was no never mind i felt sad for the rest of the actors perhaps if the right actress was to have been given the lead role and the men actors had more emotion then the film could have had a chance sorry for those of you who thought it was out of this world i wouldn't have minded if it stayed out of this world,negative +while boris is off to fight in war against the germans for his mother russia his beloved marries his conniving cousin mark in a moment of weakness shortly after her parents were killed in an air raid over through various trials and will word or letter from boris no matter how long it takes holding hope that he will return to her br br powerful piece of film making boasts simply incredible work by cinematographer some of the many framed moving shots include the scene where the camera follows through a crowd of loved ones saying goodbye to each other as she rushes through the mob of bodies to say goodbye to boris and doesn't quite reach him even as we watch boris looking into the without luck the sequence after the air raid where walks up the standing stairs up the destroyed building she once called home and the scene where mark makes his move on as another air raid continues just outside the building as wind the and flashes of light inside are just two of many examples where shows his genius at framing images that will last forever on film but without the power and tragedy of the story regarding how war can forever shape the destiny of a couple who deeply love each other this film couldn't hold up with the beauty of the visual alone together however we're left with an amazing film simply a haunting masterpiece from the soviet union after his last breath i feel just have such a great film,positive +the ma characters were highly popular and controversial the films that featured their the way for television sitcoms that came after it and sought to its winning formula one obvious reference is 'the beverly ' where the new home was bought with oil money not having been won in a contest you could even say the 1980s sitcom borrows its idea of backwards rural characters from this series still i wonder if betty macdonald the washington based author who created these characters didn't do more harm than good her portrayal of characters makes them the butt of many jokes in terms of their alleged and the real life family that macdonald based the upon successfully claiming they had been and with these less than references sure it's comedy and the situations bring us a great many laughs and fun moments and political correctness as we know it today did not exist in the 1940s and 1950s but i think macdonald could've still written these characters more and universal international could've had its show them on screen with more dignity there's such a thing as good taste the more realistic moments are when the oldest son tom is ashamed of his rural but learns to accept his parents and siblings for who they are for their part the have to realize that they don't exactly fit into a modern world that's not a joke that's a sober truth,positive +harry has a quote right on the front cover of the dvd stating the next icon of horror really i have heard a lot of hype surrounding this one but wasn't totally convinced however i am a die hard horror fan and will give just about any horror movie a chance no matter the budget or the rating cause ya never know where your gonna find the next gem not here not is poorly conceived poorly acted and un funny just because you have the actors who played freddy jason and and a buffy topless with tons of gore does not make you an expert on horror sorry i don't even want to describe the plot because it is so idiotic honestly my money is on rob zombie there is a man who knows old school horror forget this trash,negative +its a very sensitive portrayal of life with or desires what does one do with desire in a culture and society with rigid one husband finds with the immigrant since immigrants don't belong or aren't accepted they don't need to and their desires the other husband looks for in and tries to his desire into it fails of course and he breaks down in the last scene for multiple reasons still cared enough for him to find that moment to let him know that he is not responsible for her to her desires the mother in her still couldn't find the strength to destroy his myth she sees him as a child who is himself in his lust control but should she give him the opportunity to finally grow up both the wives find courage and through their shared by their husband br br but the final act of was by the grandmother she could not break free from her mindset to accept desire a decade and more of receiving care was not enough to break the of her culture br br seems like it was for the to let his desires flow since he's anyway damned by his culture being at the bottom of the since there is anyway no respect and expectations might as well taste sin,positive +spoiler alert br br this was the worst of the series it is horror disguised as political satire and it is as subtle as a hammer not very scary and not very insightful did micheal moore have anything to do with this piece of garbage br br i'm really sick of hollywood using entertainment as a political campaign against george bush and constantly repeating the same talking points over and over again this movie wants to be but unlike that movie which subtly the problems soldiers who came back from vietnam by clever making the main character come back as a blood zombie and slowly built on this theme it was a true horror film that was also good social commentary because it didn't get and preachy br br i guess joe thought this was trying to make a horror film to scare and and me being the last in that list found this film to be totally ridiculous manipulative and all at the same time and i don't mean the good type of exploitative that you often find in the drive in type movies i mean exploitative in the most sickening and vile manner using the deaths of our soldiers as a manipulative political statement disguised as a horror film br br this film assumes that all the soldiers who died in iraq would vote against a conservative president if they would come back to life as zombies which is a flawed premise because as i recall for the most part and going by george romero's rules zombies are mindless flesh eating creatures operating on pure and even though the zombie andy in could talk he couldn't really hold a conversation and he was driven by his addiction to human blood okay zombies are mindless creatures driven by and not intellect and obviously they are dead so why would dead people be allowed to vote in the first place my interpretation of this film is that the only war a liberal could win is by having mindless dead people vote for him i guess they meant to say the people that vote for like george bush are the mindless zombies while the real mindless zombies are actually the ones making the intellectually sounds decisions yeah whatever dawn of the dead this idea much better but user the idea of mindless this film isn't dawn of the dead by any stretched of the imagination br br the film the issue while the soldiers are alive that a majority of them voted for a bush like president but after they die they would vote for a liberal anti war after they are zombies who are normally considered brain dead creatures and laughably has them after they vote br br if you are gonna make a zombie movie mr and george romero's name in it you better have mindless zombies that like ripping people apart and eating their intestines not zombies that vote i also like how the zombies just go evil who support the war br br if you want a good movie with social commentary skip this poorly made preachy piece of junk and watch instead br br the worst of the master of horror series hands down,negative +he's not your conventional cab driver br br this guys got issues with his wife with his son a priest all his his ex partner and most of all himself and the greatest thing is they just throw us all into it so we have to keep watching to find out more about his past br br the idea may not be original but david morse makes it so i think this is a great show and i hope people catch on before the over br br watch this show,positive +are we serious i mean wow just wow i think i saw this flick in an old issue of war this is pathetic originality is completely dead instead of trying to a new idea what we receive is a bland re do of an old plot line and to switch it up we just change the gender or race of the original character it's moronic and everyone should be sick and tired of seeing it but i guess this is just a rant and will most likely fall on deaf ears to with the sound of another turd hitting the toilet water like the best western since 3 10 to wait for it 3 10 to thank you hollywood for killing film as an art form and turning it into a commercial of neo pop junk and blatant wonderful,negative +anyone who fine acting and dialogue will love br br this film taken from ronald it's a funny br br and ultimately analysis of a relationship between two br br very types albert finney is sublime as the br br shakespearean actor who barely notices the world war raging br br around him so intent is he on the of his theatre br br company and his own psychological and emotional breakdown br br tom is as norman the of the title br br whose apparent devotion turns out to be anything but br br really a must see,positive +this forth film in the angel guts saga which at only a few minutes above an hour it just feels much longer is also the which is perhaps just as well as it's also the most of the series a department store clerk is interested in another part time job her fellow worker at the department store introduces her to for a porn called but when her other found out about her naughty pictures they decide to fire her and she gets some admirer oh and she likes to alot using various household items the wall to wall masks a lack of discernible plot and pushes this one far too much into exploitation territory not though given that the director of this one is evil dead trap beautiful prey perhaps his sensibilities just weren't suited for an angel guts film br br my grade d br br dvd extras commentary by sharp bio a minute interview with original art and trailers for this and 4 other angel guts films high school co ed red red vertigo red porno all available in box set but for some reason the film angel guts red flash is not in the set,negative +jean hugh is excellent as the boy who wants to be a whore to please the man he loves but the rest of this film is so bad acting writing cinematography and everything else that performance is wasted sad to see so fine an actor in such a garbage flick,negative +the beautifully engaging song with the same name as the film won the best song oscar in 1955 br br love is a many thing br br it's the april rose that only grows in the early spring br br love is way of giving a reason to be living br br that golden crown that makes a man a king br br once on a high and hill br br in the morning two lovers and the world stood still br br then your fingers touched my silent heart and taught it how to sing br br yes true love a many thing br br how can we forget such a beautiful song henry king the director had the to work with jennifer jones twice that year for this film and the greatly under rated film good morning miss jones was nominated for thing but she could have been easily nominated for miss as well br br william is just great as the war sent to report on the communist revolution in 1949 china his love for jones an oriental doctor was endearing and so memorable to watch br br while the ending is not pleasing this is still one of the greatest romances ever put on the screen,positive +the main attraction of anywhere but here is the superb performance of natalie portman she gave her rather character a lot of much appreciated emotional depth susan sarandon a fine actress is suitably sincere as the mother figure i thought the chemistry between the two stars was believable a chemistry that could have been developed more with a more involving script i am not saying the script was bad in any way i am just saying it seemed underdeveloped at times i don't think it was the script writer's fault the film did suffer from being overlong and became sometimes in the longer scenes the film does look beautiful with some good direction and excellent performances all in all watchable certainly but maybe more for an older audience 7 10 cox,positive +seen this one in a sneak preview yesterday and must say it was terrible after the credits i thought hey with this cast it'll probably be pretty good didn't at all turn out that way br br lame predictable terribly simply drawn characters maybe except a little ms and an ending one could 10 minutes into the movie and worst of all it a delicate theme handicapped persons for low level and mostly tasteless jokes without ever touching anything but the surface of the issue the handicapped person the film with the most is the one who is just it what kind of message is that and the film doesn't have a thought through ending at all it basically comes down to i love you doesn't matter that you acted like a br br to sum it up great cast that must have been terribly bored to sign up for a terrible flick,negative +too to be enjoyable too loose to be interesting and too clumsily photographed to be tolerable mr lonely is an interesting idea ruined by really bad film making like a ken russell film at its worst or day of the remade by amateurs mr lonely might have seemed like a good idea on a few of paper no script you see and a free holiday to somewhere but in the end we have a widescreen film that seems as if it was made by film students whose parents told them that everything they did was a brilliant creation or did i get the film maker right mr lonely is a waste of resources trying to be quirky and deliberately off it ends up being annoying and indulgent and pointless what's the point of going to a in scotland what a stupid idea in this film about hollywood maybe wanted to remake well the result is god awful oh and there is some subplot like footage from including nuns and a plane add mo and music all and melancholy add james fox who seems to hope he might be seen as daring like in performance and the result is fantasy soup in widescreen it might have been fun to film but the result on the screen is a mess imagine american pie band camp with food,negative +one of the many backwoods that came out in the early and fortunately this is one of the better ones yes it has a cheesy plot but i was pleasantly surprised at this film because i thought it was really good and really entertaining although the killer could have been made a bit more scarier he just looked like a fat br br first of all we have the local sheriff or whatever the hell he is who warns them not to go to those mountains as they are very dangerous but when the teens arrive it doesn't seem very dangerous at all well according to me anyway it's a shame that we don't get movies like this any longer and if we do it's usually some boring terrible film br br this movie more relies on tension and being scary than gore because the gore factor is really low in this movie which i wasn't pleased with but other than that it's still a great movie br br all in all you'll have to search long and hard to find this movie and if you do find it you will like it and also watch out for ending with the final girl and the killer it's totally not what you'd expect,positive +c'mon let's put aside the humor that we can find in racism and be honest it isn't funny i was appalled at the fact that the two main stars would agree to do a film that was so offensive and so to race relations and i'm not referring to the obvious black white commentary in the movie but to the towards other such as betty characterizations of the should we just up her to do this movie as a sign of is she too old to comedy from stereotypical trash or is it the fault of the writers how about the third assistant makeup person nope the fault is with us for this kind of crap in the of comedy that hollywood will continue to feed us until we have the decency to say enough is enough racism is for real and it isn't a laughing matter we're all different let's celebrate that diversity not poke fun at it and promote,negative +this seems to have opinions amongst the on this page so perhaps i can settle everything by saying this is a very stupid not very well made television movie how bad is it it's a that can't even decide what its name is because while everyone in america calls it linda it's known in britain as lust for murder and it's usually a bad sign when a movie has to change its name and can i also point out that it's not a tongue in cheek spoof as somebody else claimed br br i will be honest and say the plot is rather sound linda and paul meet another couple called the who they get on very well with they get on so well that they go on holiday together make up your own mind if there's some wife going on and paul sees his wife kill the after that the plot takes a shock twist br br writing the above paragraph i have suddenly realised the large amount of potential the story had and i won't say anything to put you off the premise it's just that when the story continues after the events i've described things become more and more unlikely and bizarre not only that but the production values are fairly unimpressive with the actor playing paul doing a very wooden voice over that while most of the scenes exterior and interior look like they've been filmed on a day,negative +ok this movie was the worst display i have seen in years the actors weren't to bad i figured it was a b movie so they were doing b movie acting anyways i watched this movie thinking oh cool a sci fi movie wrong it was just an excuse for radical christians to push a message onto people the last scene was extremely messed up that is a horrible thing to do to a person to make them believe in something what someone believe in is a matter of opinion this movie just shows how religion is especially christianity br br if you want to watch a b movie this ain't if you want to watch a movie that is trying to the masses well this is the pick of the go right for it if you are going to convey a message do it don't force it ridiculous that people would abuse the media to such a degree especially christians,negative +a young korean artist lives in she is a bit of a loner and has never had a serious relationship that she is waiting for the right person she works in the public square drawing for but for herself she also in painting her favorite flowers daisies but all of a sudden she has a secret admirer flowers are delivered to her every day at 4 15 usually daisies yet she can not catch the in the act this is because unknown to her her beau is a korean hit man and he wishes to remain hidden for now one day in the square however another attractive korean man sits for the artist and happens to be carrying a pot of daisies she concludes that he is her shy hero and also the man she has been waiting to find this second gentleman too has a secret he is an agent the assassin can see everything that in the square due to having an apartment close by naturally he is disturbed that another man has entered the young girl's life how will this shadowy love triangle play out this is a beautiful picture to watch the setting in and the surrounding countryside is very very lovely add in three most attractive young korean actors and visually any viewer has a stunning in front of them the story is quite nice too being a mixture of drama and action with a dash of the unexpected costumes are very and the production values high in short anyone searching for a quality foreign film with a compelling story and great scenery would find this movie a wonderful choice for a evening should you have someone's hand to hold during the view so much the better,positive +imagine an remake of the ones with a black chick and a white chick attached to each other set the story on some island where the drug dealers rule and the revolution has arrived and have the black woman be from stable of ladies and the white woman be a watered down patty and you've got black mama white mama br br in those days of the drive in theater this item must have been a big old hit all the hot buttons of the seventies are pushed in this one even though they both fill out their clothes better and will get a few from the males in the audience no one is ever going to mistake pam and margaret for sidney and tony curtis all right and jamie lee curtis br br margaret and pam are prisoners where the guards and the warden look at the new fish arriving margaret is a rich girl from the state who took up 'the whilst your basic high call girl who's been the local drug and grew tired of it and tried to leave the island br br fellow the bus them from the women's prison to town but they get lost in the escape both have their different but like sid and tony they can't quite agree on whose agenda comes first makes for some interesting times as the police the drug dealers and the are all looking for these two chain buddies br br just so you don't get any wrong ideas the head of the and partner is named played by actor the whole mess was shot in the who were getting their own film industry started br br nice location photography in the is all that black mama white has to recommend it but if you're a fan of really bad black exploitation flicks this is one for you,negative +this is a true gem of a tv film based on a completely untrue story it follows the course of the down and out football league club through their course in the english cup where mayhem ensues and the players all sport seventies styles the ending is unexpected the performances are great and nick shows that he can do something other than host sports shows my only regret is that i didn't tape it,positive +i sat through this film becoming more and more at just how it got made at all the script itself makes the acting look embarrassing and it becomes a waste of time for everybody concerned if you avoid seeing one film this year make it this one,negative +arguably the finest serial ever made no argument here thus far about flash gordon professor and beautiful traveling in a rocket ship to another universe to save the planet along the way in spectacular and action packed chapters flash and his friends along with new found friends such as prince prince and the awesome king pool their resources together to fight the and of the of and the jealous of his daughter aura now she's a car this serial is not just a cut above most serials in terms of plot acting and budget it is miles ahead in these areas produced by universal studios it has many former sets at its like the laboratory set from the bride of frankenstein and the opera house from the phantom of the opera just to name a few the production values across the board are advanced in my most humble opinion for 1936 the costumes worn by many of these strange men and women are really creative and first rate we get men shark men lion men high priests creatures like dragons and oh my and many many other fantastic things are all of them believable and first rate special effects no way but for 1936 most are very impressive the musical score is awesome and the chapter are well written lengthy enough to viewer memories of the former chapter and expertly scored director does a great job everything together wonderfully and creating a worthy film for alex comic strip lastly the acting is pretty good in this serial all too often serials have either no names with no talent surrounding one or two former talents here most everyone has some ability don't get me wrong this isn't a shakespeare by any means but buster does a likable job as flash he is aided by jean and the rest of the cast in general with two performers standing out but before i get to those two let me add as another reviewer noted it must have been amazing for this serial to get by the hayes office i see more flesh on flash and on jean rogers and than in movies decades later the shorts and unfortunately for all of us professor frank shannon wears are about as form fitting a pair of shorts guys can wear the girls are wearing mid throughout and are absolutely beautiful jean rogers may have limited acting talent but she is a blonde is also very and and beautiful but for me the two actors that make the serial are charles as and fun is a class act jack tiny plays king rousing hilarious a symbol for pure joy in life and the every essence of steals each and every scene he is in the plot here there and everywhere but flash gordon is the serial space opera and the basis for loads of science fiction to follow excellent,positive +solo starts as a team of us soldiers go into america to blow up a rebel joining them is a robot named solo mario van who can use any weapon ever made is fifteen times stronger ten times faster than any human being something goes wrong though solo refuses to kill innocent civilians which colonel frank william isn't happy about back at base general barry corbin orders solo to be shut down one of main is self so decides to escape back into the south american where colonel his men are sent in to it br br this mexican american co production was directed by one has to say solo is awful the script by david was based on the novel by robert mason is one cliché after another robots were popular at the time solo was made in hollywood at the box office so solo rip offs the likes of 1987 universal soldier 1992 the two terminator flicks as well as having the same setting basic story as predator 1987 this is the usual rubbish about an robot who grows a sense of humanity while being around people at first he doesn't know what a joke is or why one person would care for another but by the end he develops emotions starts to people sounds like terminator 2 judgment day 1991 to me the character's are poor colonel in particular is given absolutely no motivation for hating solo at all why he would kill other us soldiers orders to destroy it you know i saw this on cable telly last night for free thank god i didn't spend any money on it i looked it up in the tv guide do you know what it said my tv guide described solo as a sci fi action starring mario van which when i think about it is a perfect description of solo in less than ten words my tv guide has hit the nail on the head i mean it's a sci fi action film it certainly stars mario van it's definitely dire enough said really br br director doesn't do anything particularly special here the action scenes lack any real excitement the sci fi elements are virtually none existent apart from the fact solo is a robot so the military lose solo colonel is sent in to it right i'm not being funny but wouldn't the military have put a inside solo in case something like that happened surely at the very least solo would have had a tracking device inside it so the military would at least know where it was at any given time i'm not being funny but these people can come up with a walking talking robotic soldier but they are not clever enough to realise that a tracking or self device might be useful if anything went wrong the violence is mild there are a few ok fight scenes but this is pretty weak stuff really br br technically the film looks alright is competently made it was actually shot in mexico the makers of the dolph lundgren action flick agent red 2000 edited footage from solo into that film the acting is poor van was the perfect choice to play an robot william deserves better than this it was only a few years prior he was staring in the fantastic die hard 2 die harder 1990 br br solo is a really bad sci fi action flick which is basically a huge rip off of big budget hollywood sci fi action films like universal soldier the terminator films not recommend i'm going to start pay more attention to my tv guide when it comes to choosing films to watch,negative +i had very high hopes walking into this movie after all 11 was a truly great hollywood product its rapid fire jokes incredible star power and tight script made it one of the most fun caper films i have ever seen of course with all the money it made a sequel was on the way and i for one was excited br br needless to say i was absolutely blown away by this movie blown away by how horribly wrong things can go this movie had everything going for it the return of the entire original cast the same director news stories of crazy on and off set antics how could it possibly have gone so wrong br br it starts immediately with one of the most awkward and unnecessary opening sequences ever and goes downhill from there after reasonably goofy short scenes between pitt zeta jones and clooney roberts the film spends several minutes watching andy garcia from scene to scene telling each individual member of danny original eleven that he wants his money back believe me when i say that these scenes are only here to pad andy running time because without these ridiculously awkward shots his screen time would be well under five minutes br br this leads me to another major i had with this film the pacing is so uneven that characters are dropped completely from the story and only sometimes brought back later character is dropped from the script early on and never comes back except for 2 short scenes with no dialogue garcia appears for the first few minutes and returns for an exceptionally brief scene at the end roberts shows up for about 5 minutes at the beginning and isn't even mentioned again until there's about 20 25 minutes left even clooney himself spends a large of the film in prison br br this would all be if the film was funny at all 90 of the jokes fall completely flat and the ones that do work are worth a chuckle at best the plot is undeniably worthless and left me feeling cheated at one point in the film the team takes on a job worth 2 5 million of the nearly 100 million they need to raise before two week several characters even acknowledge how absurd wasting the time to do this job is but they do it anyway over 30 minutes of the film around this job that they shouldn't even be doing and one gets the feeling that this part of the plot was simply added to pad the running time furthermore the equipment they use to pull this job off clearly cost millions upon millions to just wait until you see what they do to pull this job and realize it would cost far more than 2 5 million to pull off obviously because of this they have to pull off several jobs to make the money the beauty of the first film was the one big con and how and it was pulled off here they pull so many jobs in so many different ways that they rush through all of them because to explain them would make the film several hours long br br we all know walking into this film that there will be a big twist at the end thus is the nature of the caper film the twist at the end of twelve made me laugh not because it was funny but because i couldn't believe how cheated i felt i won't give it away because i know most of you will be foolish enough to throw down the money to see this movie anyway br br what i will say is that it makes most of the 2 hours you have sat through already completely irrelevant br br i was excited to see this film after absolutely 11 i left the theater feeling like i had been the victim of a truly great con pulled by the cast and crew of this movie in me into thinking that this movie would actually be worth watching i have never given a 1 to a movie on imdb com but there's a first time for everything consider yourselves warned 1 10,negative +after 30 years of once again i myself in the of uplifting melancholy the cold slow paced and existential treatment of this crime story comes from a different world world where darkness is pure enlightenment,positive +as i don't have a tv and had never heard of this mini series i didn't know what to expect from the second coming and hired it purely on the strength of its plot synopsis which sounded interesting br br dear god every pun intended if someone told me that this had been written by a class of thirteen year olds who had been given the project of turning the second coming into a school play i wouldn't have been surprised br br why oh why did they decide to portray jesus mark ii as what to an idiot is there anything in any of the to suggest this okay an ordinary bloke but a great northern moron i don't think so br br apparently all jesus did to impress people was his because according to this take his preaching sure as hell never impressed anyone certainly without the night into day stunt mr jesus would have been without a a or any kind of following at all br br and the odd little gay put in willy without rhyme or reason other than of course russell waving to his fan base jesus turns up in the pub to more northern losers and of course the gay writer's the woman away gay rights are down his throat to no real purpose almost like russell thought he it to the to put jesus on the spot br br i can't really see the real jesus coming out with well i've nothing against it personally mate only someone truly middle class and could imagine jesus to be quite this wet br br and don't start me on the ending come in and eat rat poison because the only way we can be truly free is if god br br it was like an eddie izzard sketch of god as bill gates hello i'm bill gates and now you've pointed out to me that my global is your style i'm going to give it all to you my customers and eat the rat poison of course br br i'm often by the ratings on imdb but the high rating on this one takes the br br never mind jesus for the new millennium this is jesus for brainless mtv br br god help us all indeed,negative +this is a great flick it is funny for everyone even adults we got jason like killer in this along with other wacky characters very funny flick for children of all ages must of rented this every time we went to the video store buster and make a good pair and gotta love the duck he is probably my favorite character i was never big on the tv show but this movie just brings back so many great memories must see for families fans of the show or anyone enjoyable no matter how small or old you are rent it now at your local video store br br p s needs a dvd release,positive +not only the title the film itself is a long one too or so it seems that's because of the outdated style of acting and the pathetic way its hackneyed themes are bad of the sisters and a brother who not speak the name of his sexual italy 2003 you don't believe it and you don't have to,negative +i quite enjoyed the crew 1999 which was the last of the three films in this series the first being urban menace 1999 which i've yet to see i know it was but the three leads did a pretty decent job all things considered br br this however was truly atrocious ice t was dreadful and he's the producer can't say i've ever heard of the shocker who apparently never how to spell but his performance was one of the worst i've ever seen in a movie br br miss jones did pretty well in her small role though she later went on to make some atrocious racist jokes on her radio show after the se asian plus other occasions sadly way to go girl br br no one else comes out with any credit strangely storm and ernie hudson who are both pretty bad here are far better in the crew which was made along with urban menace at the same time as corrupt how that works i don't know br br i'm going to try the ice t commentary now to see whether he for the film or tries to make us think it's a great piece of film making,negative +these writers are trying to re create the characters they have on in a different however the characters they are stuck with have no charisma or acting ability not to mention the writing seems poor and these guys are trying to create something that would be good if the writing wasn't so disgusting which is leaving the shows only to be two attractive teachers that that are barely keeping it alive the humor in this show seems like it is trying to target an audience with an i q of 40 or below another reason why this show is becoming a failure could be that the writing on the show is excellent and this show has to follow it up leaving the viewer in an odd position not knowing whether to cry or to just lose hope in new sitcoms all together this is just my opinion but i think these guys should stop now before they themselves anymore than they have already,negative +this movie from the bible and fell so below the bar of the 1956 movie i hate that they replaced the 2006 movie over the seen 10 looked like a criminal in this movie not like the kind looking man heston in the 1956 movie i will not waste my time again watching this movie they tried so hard to this movie in order to keep you on the edge that it was more like a soap opera and not a good one at that i'm pretty sure that younger ones out there who never paid attention to the original 10 may disagree with me but to each his own also it took them 10 years to make the first 10 it probably took them 2 months to make this one the special effects were not as amazing as the first one and after all these years with so much technology you would have thought they would have done better now,negative +1969 was the year new york city was the place was the second robert downey film to achieve some recognition the first was 1966 achieved a much wider release pound 1970 and palace 1972 were even more and obnoxious those 2 films were mean spirited to the point that they actually the feature film career for several years br br the subject at hand is and it is a mad farce satire that has to be seen to be believed i'm not going to go through the plot here what plot people looking for a plot are going to be scratching their heads keep scratching this film is not about plot one could compare this to a mel brooks movie only without the hollywood parody party that mel always threw i also see a little bit of monty python in this by the way this film was shot before monty had on the bbc br br i notice that the gags and lines that are drop dead hilarious do not transfer well by word of mouth you have to see them within the context of the film there are some flaws in the film but even the flaws are unique for instance actors often repeat the same line over and over again and somehow it works how many mario says the six girl has got to have soul etc br br the b w photography is outstanding the sound score is even better the editing is only so so the acting is above average the script is priceless the jokes are as un pc as you can get mr bad news says sonny williams just got caught in a motel with a 13 year old girl says well at least he's not uptight beware the anti establishment mindset of this film will drive you straight out of the room nothing is sacred br br there are many things in this film that to today no smoking reverse racism with african americans treating like trash the manipulation of mass media over the masses madison hollywood intentionally something that any 8 year old can tell is pure garbage the internet i'm talking about the drum dating i could go on and on br br i should also mention that there is about 8 min of this film that was shot in 16 color these are the commercials shot by agency the spots work fairly well the first time around they get tiresome though on repeated viewings the real magic here is within the b w sections of the film it's the non lines they stay with you rent yourself a i love you i love you i love you did you take your anything that i have to say would just be redundant and a host of others i also really like the bit with the up on the wall the game warden wanted me to throw it back i put up such a fight i decided to have it br br in the cast include buddy as bodyguard 1 he should have been a much bigger star antonio as the arab he did go on to stardom on tv and in films arnold johnson has the right look as robert downey used his own voice instead because arnold couldn't remember some of his lines also downey realized that he could fill in any additional dialog jokes later on if he dubbed his lead actor br br the film does have some shortcomings the short run time is one i wish the beginning with the white board members would have been extended stan and allen garfield are outstanding the ending to have been thrown together as if he just couldn't think of any more gags all in all this is one of the best low budget independent films of it's time a time when very few played outside of new york chicago san francisco and l a anyone who loves satire and comedy should see this at least twice is ahead of and beyond it's time,positive +i've sat through less painful than the time i spent watching this film br br if you give it a try thinking it's going to be something in the vein of a guy ritchie flick think again the production dialogue acting script film work and plot were about the worst i've ever seen in a film my part in all honesty was the closing credits in all the history of cinema has there never been a better excuse for turning off the tv and going out and doing something better with your life br br have root work done rather than wasting your time and money on this,negative +having long network television programming i remember the first time i caught an episode of police squad it was totally by accident it was during the show's initial network run on abc in early 1982 i am a channel and was flipping the one evening when suddenly appeared police squad 's opening credit sequence on my tv screen i immediately recognized it as a of the opening credits of m squad starring lee marvin one of my all time favorite cop shows i stopped surfing then of course came getting shot up followed by the immortal rex hamilton as abraham lincoln by now i was saying to myself what the heck is this then came special guest star brown getting by a safe i was hooked from that moment the episode was ring of fear a dangerous assignment with its comic references to on the and ali but most memorable of course were all the sight gags and non leslie and alan north in their loose parody of lee marvin and paul of m squad were an absolute riot finally i said to myself a network television program truly worth watching wouldn't you know it would be canceled just a few weeks later leave it to the networks i should have known anyway i just bought the dvd collection of all six episodes and they are just as funny today as they were 27 years ago the naked gun movies were terrific as well but i really missed alan north he was so good as ed peter as what were they thinking casting in that part and especially william johnny the guy great stuff,positive +this is not so much of a review as it is a testament that it has been yet again that the academy money not artistic accomplishment and i must say i am that this usually artistic and intelligent band of members have left this off the top 250 boogie nights is powerful raw and through script direction and acting very few movies can claim this triple crown,positive +i went to the movies to see and loved every minute of it the cast and the soundtrack as well was never better than in this role we saw ms her looks barely saw her naked a cigarette beer and oh she cursed whenever this movie was shown on tv and finally cable i would call my friends to watch it just the soundtrack from the very beginning of the movie is awesome all thanks to knight and the we saw a black woman struggling to raise her children dealing with teen and everyday life meets a man whom she learns later on has issues himself finally this movie made it to dvd and well deserving,positive +wow not because of the 3 d imagery which at times was used nicely to provide good deep imagery but what a lame ending the end of the movie just seems to on itself this film has got to be one of the movie monsters ever and one of the most pathetic attempts to try to explain it the of this film is painful as well if you are looking for a bad 50s sci fi film to laugh at aka fodder go for it otherwise look for better films,negative +i have to say when it comes to book to movie adaptations the bbc rarely lets me down now regarding this mini series i love the novel it's by far the best murder mystery i've ever read the mini series it made my day when i saw it the primary story was kept near perfectly intact the characters match the ones to the novel very well the personalities and mannerisms were spot on for red and i thought was done very well as was kate eric came off as too much of a simplistic character he had a little more depth in the book but they also altered his sub story so that may have had to deal with it of course there are changes but most are but some i found disappointment in the sub story with eric murder charge was changed and that changed the whole dynamic between red and eric for the movie and they cut out the training was doing some of the other events in the book are changed to be viewer friendly over all if you liked the book you will like this if you like the mini series then you'll love the book i must say this is the most accurate book to movie adaptation i've seen,positive +i first saw this masterpiece on vhs 10 years ago and the powerful interpretation on angry kid painfully against established society it carried stayed in my heart since then director hector is such a good humanity who finds a delicate angle to tell the story of how kills the childhood of the kids from poverty class even the kids have their innocent beautiful dreams but the corrupt reality never gives a chance br br thanks to the for the recent dvd release i now can keep this great movie to my favorite collection,positive +with its ww2 timing falling in and out of love and easy on the eye this is re br br this a relationship story with focused main characters working out the the balance between first and fast love in the home front of ww2 poet dylan thomas his way between wife and ex in dark and london and later in br br ex and next spark off each other as the poet and soldier become a while the girls bond and share an easy watch that works well in the era along with just a few in pace would work well with french subtitles but then i may have been to too many art house movies lately,positive +i'm 15 usually not kids my age usually watch these old classic movies but this is one of my favorites i was totally addicted after watching it for the first time it's really good if u think about technology and movies back at that time music is great storyline is ok choreography is great must see it i don't know why there's a prequel for this movie not many people like this movie but i love classic love movies they're so much better than movies now this movie will make you smile cry and make you start dancing the music is absolutely ear catching and beautiful i haven't seen dirty dancing 2 nights prequel prequel should have star the original actors thats what i hate about they ruin the original no one wants a prequel they want a sequel many people will agree that for a movie the original sequel and the 3rd one is enough beyond that people wont be bothered to watch it who remembers the movie about the st i think there's 5 movies altogether,positive +i got a chance to talk with the co creator rebecca at the 2002 high falls film festival in rochester ny she said that her style is to be completely open and in filmmaking but was very happy to be so severely in the tight quarters of the group home the narrow and small rooms were expertly shot with a realism that would have been lost with more controlled and deliberate camera work br br sister helen herself is a remarkable character coming from tragedy in her own life to being an unusual combination of caring tough and street smart the way the film introduces us to her past is excellent spending only a few carefully selected minutes throughout br br in all i can't begin to correctly heap on praise for this film it really is a treasure of cinema and the subject a treasure of humanity,positive +this one produced by mgm in 1936 showcases the talents of two of its young stars under contract judy garland and deanna durbin in a way these short films were trailers that featured new talent in front or behind the camera felix directed this one which was a way to promote the two talented stars to the public br br the story is simple enough the orchestra that entertains in a public park every sunday doesn't get the attention it deserves enter two music judy and who love to hear the band play by one of their two of the town's there is no public for this type of entertainment have decided to their sunday in favor of a more popular orchestra that will attract a wider audience br br the two girls in a tour of their own doing what they only know calling and running and being helpful to their neighbors in exchange for a promise they will attend the park concert next sunday well that day comes and to their surprise hardly anyone comes as the music starts the two girls decide to take matters into their own and ask the conductor to play a song for them to sing the result is clear people all over the park to hear the talented young singers thus the existence br br of course the only attraction of the short film is the inspired singing by the two stars who are wonderful in their rendition ms operatic voice well with ms natural one creating a lovely br br don't miss it whenever it shows on tcm,positive +unfortunately this original mix of action and laughs is kept from cinema fans as it sits rotting in the columbia for all eternity a shame since this may be jack strongest film and features a witty script by a young and fully realized performances by its two leads and forrest who turn to a life of crime so they can get the money to open a restaurant many standout scenes include by and electric razor and an intense shootout in an abandoned building as it's being torn down by a ball,positive +i felt that way when i saw the episode in its original run and still agree when i watch it on reruns you had the totally mocking columbo throughout the episode and treating him like he has down syndrome and in the end you see their shock when columbo gets them dead to rights and arrest them you also get a realistic reaction from the arrogant killers they give columbo his props and say he just got lucky i like the formula where there is an elaborate crime the killer s totally columbo and then you get their realization that columbo was totally playing the criminals i recall in the first few episodes of the post 1989 episodes they weren't following that formula and this was the first episode that i was pleased with,positive +one of the worst excuses for an irish accents i've heard from a truly great actor too its a bad irish accent not to mention a accent which is completely different anyway the film is loosely based around the story of martin and its done much much much better with brendan in the title role in the general,negative +the brief existence of the sex and the making of this film after the controversial groundbreaking english punk break up both happened before i was born however i started listening to their only album never mind the b s here's the sex in 2003 when i was a teenager and quickly became a big fan i didn't see the great rock roll until 2006 but saw it a couple times that year and thought it was pretty good certainly not great but pretty good even if i could only remember bits of it and didn't see how it all connected seeing it a third time nearly three years after the second i didn't care much for it at all i'm not even sure what i found so good about most of it in the first place can't remember now br br this film is a in which sex manager malcolm tells his side of the story of the band and its members steve jones credited here as the crook drummer paul cook credited as the tea maker sid vicious credited as the gimmick and john a k a johnny rotten credited as the claims that he created the band and even the genre of punk rock as a to make money he tells much of the story to helen lloyd a k a helen of in various places where they go together it's basically a of talking songs live footage of the band fictional scenes often silly strange ones several cartoon sequences etc all put together in one film to tell the side of the story in a bizarre way br br it has been well proved that is a liar i know many have already pointed this out including band members themselves he was not the driving force of the band he didn't create them nor did he punk rock and the sex weren't even the first punk band though they were unique the band members were the ones who made the band what it was the filth and the fury a much more believable film about the band from temple who made this film is told from the point of view of the band members who claims however the of the great rock roll is not my biggest problem with it if it were actually entertaining which i used to think it was to a certain extent i would be able to overlook that like i obviously used to be able to do during my third viewing apart from sex songs some live footage and at least one mildly amusing cartoon sequence it was pretty dull i found the who killed song mildly amusing at first but it got very quickly br br is this worth watching for sex fans it seems a good number of fans would say it is not to learn about the true story of the short lived but groundbreaking 70's punk band but for entertainment that was once my opinion on the great rock roll after the first time i watched it i couldn't remember a thing said and by the time i saw it the second time i was aware of what the manager was using this film to imply but could still barely remember anything i heard him say obviously other aspects of the film were what i found impressive now after my third viewing i can definitely remember some of the things says but it still wasn't 100 clear like most of the film i guess his words are not that memorable probably because of the way they're presented if you're a fan i guess it wouldn't hurt to give a try but to me for the most part it's just an incoherent boring mess that tries to be funny but fails,negative +this movie was advertised as a comedy but was far more serious than the trailers made it out to be don't get me wrong i enjoyed the movie but was expecting more laughs great performances from robin williams and laura worth seeing but don't go expecting to be rolling on the floor the movie left me wondering what it would be like if robin williams character was a real person that was running for president would we a comedian i doubt it unfortunately that kind of stark honesty is something greatly lacking today this is a movie that i will be adding to my dvd library as soon as it comes out on dvd the movie has heart,positive +in the twilight years of his career charles bronson long running with several directors most notably j lee thompson and michael winner he did two films for one time bond director peter hunt too the first being the decent 1981 death hunt the second being this indifferent political chase thriller assassination is pretty dull if truth be known and come the end you'll find yourself longing for something with a bit more passion and pace like the conspiracy for instance which this film resembles br br bronson through his role as bodyguard jay whose assignment is to protect the american wife lara craig jill ireland real life wife of bronson believes that mrs craig has been by she thinks he's an over protective paranoid turns out surprise surprise that was right all along and someone is indeed out to her the pair of them go on the run pursued by the br br everyone knows that the wife of an american president is known as the first lady for some reason in this film they have her one mama quite what the point of this is is guess but it's of the film's as a whole most of the film's performances are lazy and the script takes a heck of a long time to get to where it's going if i had to label assassination within a specific genre i'd say it is supposed to be a thriller i'd say that with some however as to say that it's a thriller it has precious few thrills,negative +directed by the same that put and com a once promising online film community out of business and off the net because of his directorial style and method of filmmaking on his next film girl's best friend br br the hole suffers from this look at me i am a filmmaker style of filmmaking that is becoming the near standard in today's hollywood to the of content br br the hole actually starts out with a unique concept but that concept and the promise of captivating content soon is destroyed by the look at me directorial style of filmmaking br br there are some funny moments that still shine through the but it is a painful short to watch br br how sad it is when the new breed of filmmakers choose not to be a servant to the story but rather try and on and off screen heck they don't care as long as they get their studio deal house on the beach and a new car content and presentation are secondary issues br br the real sad part of all this is hollywood the look at me attitude so much that the whole aesthetic of filmmaking is changing rather than present a story in a straightforward way that puts the story first today's directors are getting experimental i e look at me br br is it me or am i the only one that was really put off by opening minutes of that movie went on to rise above directorial attempts at look at me filmmaking unfortunately this short film by mr does not br br 3 out of 10 rating from tv,negative +i don't know what it is about this movie the charisma of the two leads their chemistry on screen the chance to see real life son you can't miss him or art performance but i love it i've seen it a few times and never tire of watching it again rent and enjoy,positive +i saw this film in a sneak preview and it is delightful the cinematography is unusually creative the acting is good and the story is fabulous if this movie does not do well it won't be because it doesn't deserve to before this film i didn't realize how charming could be he does a marvelous self contained job as the lead there's something incredibly sweet about him and it makes the movie even better the other actors do a good job as well and the film contains moments of really high suspense more than one might expect from a movie about golf sports movies are a dime a dozen but this one stands out br br this is one i'd recommend to anyone,positive +i have to admit i picked this movie just for the cast and while sutherland and were as usual great performers the rest of the movie was such a let down it feels like it was put together by a team of with low level scripts that is scripts lacking any depth awful photography and editing and hilariously lousy score i can't believe i was able to watch this seemingly long movie until the end the sad thing is this could have actually been a great political thriller given the interesting plot all the potential was there to make it a hit that is two main ingredients are there a great story of national and a great core cast even though many other actors are pretty much soap opera quality but maybe i'm missing something until then it's still not worth more than a 3 in my opinion,negative +having read the book prior to watching this adaptation you would think that it would have lost some of its thrill however the story is so clever i could never tire of it br br sally and really put their hearts into their roles and brought out so much of the characters i fell in love with the story and the women all over again br br beautiful to watch thanks to direction settings and despite the plot speed of television i don't feel that anything important was lost in it had me on the edge of my seat throughout with lots of wonderful stomach moments enjoyed it thoroughly this is the kind of television i have been waiting for,positive +i love boot i hoped for something along similar lines a realistic war movie portraying and civilians on both sides as real people with both the joy and pain of combat br br unfortunately appears to have been written by a third and directed by a fifth grade student major pieces of the movie simply appear missing leaving it completely disjointed the dialogue in translation is ridiculous but appears no better in the native tongue you only have to watch the actors' faces during the bad moments of dialogue to realize just how bad this movie is,negative +this is one of best books the characters of karen ross peter elliot and amy are beautifully developed and their interactions are exciting complex and fast paced throughout this impressive novel br br and about 99 8 percent of that got lost in the film seriously the screenplay and the directing were horrendous and clearly done by people who could not what was good about the novel i can't fault the actors because frankly they never had a chance to make this turkey live up to original work i know good novels especially those with a science fiction edge are hard to bring to the screen in a way that lives up to the original but this may be the absolute worst in quality between novel and screen adaptation ever the book is really really good the movie is just dreadful,negative +this film is a very bad example of uninspired storytelling which tries to hide behind an trying to shock the audience with violence against women to cover up for it's lack of psychological depth of the characters internal conflicts everything in this movie is pretentious from the thank to bela at the beginning to the photography the acting music the story editing when suddenly without reason you are forced to watch close ups of charismatic looking hungarian country people in their while the soundtrack is trying to you that this is supposed to be a dramatic moment although they are only on the way to the funeral of the local alcoholic thats one thing putting completely rape scenes as a shocker is a different thing for which i absolutely have no this movie is trying really hard to enter a certain genre of artistic east european drama kind of films but lacks the subtlety skills and soul that other directors have,negative +my wife and kids is a good and funny series that truly shows the and problems that happen the most even in the best families br br michael kyle daddy is a man who is always trying to stop his children from doing stuff like drinking loving or making love when they do something wrong he is right there to correct them by the way he loves to make bad br br janet kyle mother has a strong personality and rarely agrees with her husband she understands that their children are teenagers and like to do wrong things unlike michael does br br michael kyle is a dumb guy who believes in everything other people say in the beginning of the series he's such a cool guy and tries to be like his father but lately i don't know why he becomes a very very dumb dude and he starts being a guy in the end of the series he falls in love with vanessa and becomes a father or should i say a dumb father who does nothing right br br kyle is a typical teenagers who loves to party kiss and drink she has many problems with her parents because they her too much she has a boyfriend called tony who is catholic and is scared of everything so we can't understand what makes she date him i can remember one episode that they're prepared to have sex but michael kyle scares tony claiming that sex is very dangerous and deadly so he decides to guard himself until he's married br br i resume this is the best series of my life and i still watch it everyday after 3 years so i recommend to all of you mostly for teenagers,positive +i just saw this movie and all i can say is where are the drive these days this seems like it would have been a great 2nd feature at a drive in in 1977 maybe playing with one of those joan collins movies but it's only worth watching now if you're feeling nostalgic for the 70's silly plot that is full of holes but it does remind one of the era it was made in interesting to see griffith so young and anne is quite attractive though not much of an actress in fact there is not much acting going on in this movie at all it's sort of a dukes of hazzard adventure without a or a 1969 dodge jumping over stuff in the woods but there is a jumping over a garbage dump in this one,negative +i still can't believe that computer graphics are able to create 3d images the moment i heard it from my friends over at a forum i swear to myself that i am going to make myself watch it br br i managed to watch parts of it at a fellow shopping centre where they had many children dvds and showed it at a few for sale obviously i was but it was still not enough then i headed off to youtube com to search for the movie all i came up with was music video until that day i found it i watched it despite all the because i knew that i have to watch or else i will be called a loser br br enough about me more on the movie as if final fantasy wasn't enough they made a movie about it my most favourite part was the end of life couldn't be better but i wouldn't entirely spoil the show for you you have to watch it for yourself get the dvd now,positive +gypsy is possibly the greatest musical ever written so it's too bad that it's film version was such a disappointment to make up for that we have this re make which if not flawless is an enjoyable and well done adaption of the musical the script is completely accurate all the songs included and the staging remains close to the original staging bette midler is a choice for rose her singing and personality esquire and her acting splendid peter is a fine if not a great singer and is a straight forward natural louise in truth a live of the 1989 revival with might have been a better idea if only because gypsy is simply more exciting on stage but this film is a fine translation of a great musical,positive +not wishing to repeat what everyone else has noted i will only say this br br nearly everybody says they loved curly best but i will put up against any of other the stooges shorts br br i think it's the most hilarious from start to finish as well as being the most re watchable br br the off key singing student christine cousin basil routine and of course j p are highlights but only around the impeccable timing and the great writing too br br said,positive +i viewed the original outer limits in real time when first broadcast and have since viewed the entire original series again and again in re runs and complete on dvd i find the new outer limits well more than just a remake of old episodes as some of the more adolescent have suggested br br with seven 7 years of programs versus just the two 2 years of the original series the producers and writers have certainly added considerable new original stories and philosophical lines to a much longer running and very well produced cable tv series plots are intelligent accurate of the unknown possibilities of the sometimes frightening and future br br while most producers and directors in hollywood view sci fi as from horror and fantasy this series returns to the origins of science fiction in the logical moral and philosophical of current new into their possibly near term this series does this very well and remains unique in its of the shoot em up video game monster mentally of much of the current generation it has brains history a message and good entertainment it is an adult series without unbearable teenage know it all fantasies br br now if we can only get mgm to release the entire new outer limits series on dvd instead of just the six poor and the 1st season now only available,positive +i think that you can not imagine how these people really work before i came to the studios to watch the guys work there i actually thought quite the same as you do but since i saw and did the work the guys on that tv show have to do i have to say that they really do deserve respect for what they are doing all day long that really is no easy work and also the actors which in your eyes may be terribly bad are really great people and a lot of them really can act i don't think that the material given to them can really show that as i think this material isn't very good but they are truly good so i don't think that you before you haven't seen these guys doing there work can judge over them and i shouldn't have judged over them as well before i met them but i did and am now terribly ashamed of it so please do not allow yourself to judge over these great people unless you haven't seen them doing there job,negative +in her movie br br she the femme fatale role in an astonishing way while in the same time she manages to appear a super sexy woman while keeping the sweet girl stand and not being over wicked like other similar movies e g femme fatale with rebecca br br until this movie lord of the rings was the only movie i ever saw her im hooked on with lotr br br point by lotr i had shaped an opinion that the role of the pure sweet woman was the only role that could interpret but when i saw one night at cool i absolutely changed my mind she is the woman ever br br therefore as a film is a mediocre common comedy with a confusing plot,positive +lucille version of in my opinion is one of the worst performances ever saved to film after seeing lucy in her various sitcoms more than an number of times i can tell you that i really love lucy however this movie is a fiasco of unbelievably bad casting music and dancing robert preston is the only saving grace with a part tiny enough to miss if you blink i don't know what she was thinking and i can't imagine how she was advised by the studio or director but i actually watching this embarrassing performance i could be really cruel and suggest watching it for a laugh but it's too pitiful even to qualify for that don't waste your money or your time,negative +this must have been one of most ambitious projects he throws in virtually everything from visual gags and comedy sketches to social relevance romance even some violence the mixture is challenging and intriguing and the film has many entertaining and clever sequences like the one where chaplin and four other guys try to avoid finding a that will order their self sacrifice but the ingredients don't always click together and the mix and tone seem kind of as for the famous final speech though undeniably honest it also seems a bit naive today with its to a better world where man will overcome his hate and brutality and his soul will fly great by jack and the beautiful,positive +david comments nearby are exceptionally well written and informative as almost say everything i feel about darling this massive musical is so peculiar and over blown over produced and must have caused at paramount in 1970 it cost 22 million dollars that is simply irresponsible darling must have been from a board meeting that said hey we got that pink guy and that sound of music gal lets get this too and handed over a blank the result is a hybrid of half a some mgm 40s song and dance numbers of a style daisies and so hopelessly old fashioned as to be like musical and the production is lush breathtaking to view but the rest the ridiculous romance julie looking hudson already dead the comedy and the boring songs this spectacular film into being irritating is like a 1940s mega musical with some vulgar bits to spice it up star released the year before sadly crashed and now is being finally appreciated for the excellent film is genuinely is and andrews looks sublime mature especially in the last half hour but is and and i believe really killed off the mega musical of the 60s and made andrews look like again which i believe was not intention paramount must have when they saw this and with another 20 million in catch 22 and 12 million in on a clear day and 25 million in paint your they had a financial of proportions with million tied into 4 films with very uncertain maybe they should have asked daisy from on a clear day was very popular on immediate first release in australia and ran in cinemas for months but it failed once out in the and the sticks and only ever after that on one night stands with on a clear day as a sunday night double thank god paramount had their simple yes one million dollar film love story and that 4 million dollar gangster the godfather also ready to recover all the million in just the next two years for just incredible,negative +wow i picked this off the rental shelf because i loved robert and lee miller in ' this is a phenomenal movie it has action romance suspense intrigue and wit when i wasn't laughing i was at the edge of my seat this is definitely a film i would recommend to people with an appreciation for intelligent dialogue and a fresh perspective of the 18th century this film has everything to keep me happy,positive +there are three main problems with the film or rather there are three reasons why it isn't even a worthy of more serious consideration br br firstly and this was always going to be true it's not nearly as good as the books however at least we could have expected to reflect some of the wit or depth br br secondly we have the production fantasy movies are in my opinion the hardest to produce well everything from the props through costumes scenery stunts and especially cgi is br br finally and this is many be very i just can't quite take the acting seriously i wasn't brought up in so i can't really judge it may me my lack of with films in polish all the same the lines seem very delivered the casting could be better as well br br in the only possible redeeming feature of this film is the remainder of the plot shining through not unlike a diamond ring on a rotting br br on a separate note i heard that the books are coming out in english i haven't seen them yet but i can't imagine how one would even begin to translate them i would ask the english speaking reader to bare this in mind when judging the book,negative +if this was nominated for a award by the a professional association of screenwriters then it's time to hang up the word astonishingly inept writing direction production at every level even for a tv movie no cliche goes in this jaw bad movie what were they thinking does anyone really believe kids are stupid enough to watch this,negative +i really wanted to like this movie great cast – walter in a role that reminds us of his iconic forbidden planet barbara and robert sterling as young lovers frankie as a inclined sailor is a guy on a submarine a sailor even peter lorre as a scientist with a for sharks maybe it's a good kiddie movie but i had trouble staying awake lorre was severely underused i guess he was a red like – you expect him to maybe go nuts and try to throw the hero or his gal in the shark tank no such luck by the way why is there a shark tank on a submarine it's typical of the movie's lack of ambition they explain why lorre is walking the shark back and forth because we're seeing it but just expect us to accept the fact that there's a shark on this sub for some reason research yeah scientists are always doing that research stuff who can understand them of course if there wasn't a shark who would kill the evil psychologist lady joan fontaine i'm sorry but even kid's movies in the 50s are capable of being less predictable and frankly idiotic not to mention exploitative br br the first 10 or 15 minutes really got my hopes up great theme song sung by frankie leading the howard actually sorry loved ya in blue hawaii and joan fontaine on a guided tour careful to skip the room with the huge warning sign on the door past peter lorre with aforementioned sharks and then we see a full screen shot of shaking her to horn playing the movie quickly goes from there there's no real explanation for the threatening the earth so there's a distinct lack of dramatic tension and no villain to boot instead character is made into an unconvincing red vaguely of the variety i guess the caine was still fresh in people's minds and character suddenly turns evil for no reason at the end oh i suppose the reason is that it's a surprise for the audience and it is kind of surprising since the only negative thing she's done is to talk bad about the mental health and there's still no reason why she did the after she's revealed to be the villain very poorly done and unconvincing the guy who was the bible nut was better – at least his character made sense br br so what else could go wrong endless interminable diving footage i never understand the appeal of that kind of thing a giant attacks the ship for a minute just so there's a monster for the theatrical trailer maybe that fooled some people into thinking it was going to be a fantasy adventure film instead of a half baked suspense movie about military scientists who are never wrong yes – perhaps worst of all it's barely a fantasy movie much less a science fiction movie it never did anything for my imagination because the whole premise was nothing but another disaster apocalypse and these characters never experience any feelings of wonder or discovery i'm through with irwin allen i never liked his later movies anyway but this one got me by pretending to be jules when it's really just another formula exercise in disaster the whole movie is just waiting to see which character will turn evil and die he always hired an actor actress with a charming and screen persona to play these roles and that's the only element of surprise to be found since there's no logic to these characters anyway what a pathetic waste of time for these actors george movies are 100 times better the only one that was lame was atlantis which not was the most allen esquire full of wonder and excitement and – think of it – ideas other than a few effects scenes and barbara there's nothing worth seeing here in my opinion i guess it's good fun for those who are into disaster movies but i think they are a hollow and dull genre of films,negative +with a title like that you will be forgiven for thinking this film is about the great painter then after half an hour you decide it is more about the roman catholic with even more perhaps it is just a of the period with lurid characterisation too many to and a regard for fact up a colourful but rambling mash that fails on all three accounts br br who lost his jewish father to nazi concentration camps is the great director who painted the artist as a and got away with it won awards for it in fact his life in gave him a taste of diverse especially communism he also made the equally over the top but rather impressive one flew over the nest so at the age of how does he come to offer us this mess in ghosts is one step removed from the main character is brother acted by natalie portman is equally vibrant as model and later in the film her own daughter the connection with is that he happens to paint both of them br br and then rapes who he suspects of being a jew her father in to spain briefly gets out of the the church has left her in and for her child is still painting but has gone deaf his main seems to be helping and so on br br historically was also a as had sadly the idea of a biopic of the painter this one fact could have been used to pull the whole film together – a large slice of history as seen by but the painter is too to receive any weight similarly a document of the of the should be done – compared to other orders throughout time the holy see has been forgiven with barely a confession though one might ask if is competent enough to be trusted with a factual account of anything br br i thought this could be the heart of a wonderful story he says in the production notes there were a great many parallels between the communist society we lived under and the spanish but the story is too to hold our attention against our expectations and with a background of something major the life of a great painter the horrors of the and even the french revolution we are instead asked to feel involved in a if kind of the result is that we feel cheated br br background detail is handled went deaf in when the film starts not 15 years later is as believable as a cut out from a we see the church passing out a death sentence when the normal was for the church to insist that the arm did that dirty work battles look overly choreographed and a of gratuitous naked hardly makes up for it br br on the positive side the production values are mostly good the colours are vivid the pacing excellent at least until we give up on finding any worthwhile storyline is excellent and portman is a joy until she goes into as a mad woman while it doesn't say very much about what it does say is nice even if superficial and pretty irrelevant br br i once had a late night drunken conversation where my friends and i asked each other if you could choose a director to depict your life who would it be on his record would sadly have to be at the bottom of my list,negative +this film is so lovingly made you want to be part of it forever the are straight but not without the goods are transparent and are hardly there even the are so naive they'll make you with nostalgia in comparison to anything available on tv is fine if a bit one sided louis is perfect you just can't have a better he has the best line my dad other people's dirt and i do the same is unbearable but i guess in part it's the songs wardrobe and on the contrary makes a great femme fatale if a bit silent i didn't realize she may be a lesbian as imdb user and others rightly suggest,positive +to this day malcolm is telling anyone enough to believe him that the sex were his idea and that the band members were his puppets to be used to make him money there is a good reason for him doing this namely that he is a liar br br here are some real facts br br was actually approached by the band to be manager not the other way round br br the were a proper band and not created by or anyone else jones and cook were childhood friends rotten and vicious went back a long way too this is something that has led to unfair criticism of the

too bright despite his br br the and subsequent pay offs from a m and were again not it was merely the way things out br br boasts about the money he made from the band if he had been competent he could have made a great deal more it seems he even properly br br claim at the start of the film that he invented punk rock can be in about ten seconds the were not the first punk band merely the most high profile br br this is a terrible film the only parts worth watching are the genuine footage of the band later put to much better use in 'the filth and the,negative +what really stood out to me about this movie was how little the plot made sense so many characters were randomly introduced it was like how i imagine tommy the room would be re for the disney channel set we had the wise elderly couple who kept on hanging out where jane worked telling the same story about how brought them together or jane's mom random crying woman who would all show up at random times br br aaron acting is definitely the highlight of this film i actually looked forward to every scene he appeared in the editing is painfully bad with scene cuts that make no sense the jane character is really irritating about and about j d mcqueen the scenes with the music awards are more depressing than anything else and the ending of this movie is surreal,negative +if you and your friends find as much humor and enjoyment from horrible acting jokes props and overall film making as me and my friends you need to rent this br br from simply reading the tag line and seeing how not funny it is you should assume more not funny poor quality great hilarious content through out its a tale of some of kids who defy every law of physics and reality and fly back in time through a modern day big screen tv to a world of dinosaurs who eventually become their friends not to mention a hilariously serious scene where t rex becomes a father figure for one of the kids yeah br br it should be in the comedy section but you'll find it with kid movies if you find it at all so call your friends over sit back relax get ready to laugh and enjoy you will be the laughably horrific one liners in this movie for weeks whats with all the,negative +okay it's too long and it's too satisfied with itself still the great dictator is a fascinating movie chaplin does a terrific job hitler and trying to portray the of the jews in nazi germany this was before the concentration camps were common knowledge not a chaplin masterpiece but still worth seeing br br,positive +this movies had to be the funniest movie i have ever seen in my entire life i laughed so hard i almost after the movie was done i laughed for about an hour just thinking about the very last seen in the movie its is definitely 100 times better than the first jackass movie i loved seeing all of them back together again if you are or don't like raunchy childish humour you will not like this movie if you can go in with an open mind and not take it so seriously then you will laugh your ass off its amazing no one was killed in this movie every seen in this movie is so original and so different from the next you will not know what to expect br br mike,positive +someone told me that pink was in a word insane now i'm whether this guy actually ever saw it because that isn't the way i would it in one word disgusting absurd um more disgusting would do it every time you think it can't get any more filthy it does one of my particular favorites was when divine had her birthday party and when the cops came to bust it up they were butchered and eaten by the guests i admit that it's one of those movies where it's so grotesque you simply can't look away but this is by no means a creative work of art it's pure shock value br br on the upside it makes the jackass guys look like a bunch of,negative +a man is found floating in the sea among the of his destroyed boat just off the florida coast a helicopter him up only to reveal both of his legs are

professor donald west william sheriff gordon and the united states army they set out to destroy the monster but there are other sinister forces at work as someone doesn't want the creature to be exposed at any cost directed by as john old jr this is a far cry from the classic italian horror and splatter films of the 70's and early 80's the script by and is slow and will put most people to sleep well before the 90 odd minute run time has the monster is barely used large portions of this film are made up of footage of and large of the first half concentrate on the not so mysterious behind part of the story there isn't really any gore to speak of a guy with both his legs bitten off and someone with one arm is about it the special effects on the monster itself are generally poor and it is shown in very quick flashes disappointing the cast of virtual don't help make this any easier to sit through there really isn't much to recommend this film so i won't don't bother you can do a lot better,negative +this is the best work i have ever seen on television the story is compelling all the more so because it is true the writers did their the accuracy of events is well documented the acting is great this has to be the best role sam has ever had and the black and white cinematography was exceptional my only regret is that it is not available to buy a few years ago i someone involved with the production either with or in england and was told they had no plans to release it on vhs at the time this was a bbc production and ran in the u s on american there is such an interest in seeing this just hard to believe no one can make it available,positive +this movie was really interesting it also is quite shocking as the similar events of the movie occurred only 10 months after the movie premiered br br it was interesting seeing the problems that could be encountered and realistic enough to show that no matter how prepared you think you are you aren't if this was made for an american audience it would be different because they would have used this as a full propaganda film and not as a wake call which the bbc did it still is propaganda in some no film today with these themes can not be but it dealt with the issue successfully br br a film that should be shown in all terrorism counter terrorism but will not because it shows faults which is not allowed to be acknowledged a great film in which the bbc took a few risks and unfortunately london does not need a fictional tale any more due to the reality of july 7 2005,positive +choose your fate

hers she seemingly becomes obsessed with him and falls for him she puts her kids and husband second over the and even tries to him into her family some of the freak show side kicks come over to visit

not so good br br if somebody wish a copy i'll try to dvd and i can send for you ok br br a great movie and i agree that is a movie to be always watched br br brazil,positive +i originally watched this because i thought it was going to be the sequel to the league of extraordinary gentlemen and this movie is a whole different thing entirely going on here a comedy however i loved it anyways br br the league of gentlemen is apparently some british tv series with some rather odd characters and some sharp humour this is british comedy so it revolves around being very silly dressing up in costumes and making lots of fun of germans and french homosexual references in short it's very very funny br br the plot revolves around the writers of the tv show deciding to some of the characters and the characters coming out of their dimension into the writer's dimension to stop that from happening it's a fun twist and there's plenty of great scenes in this idiotic adventure i laughed out loud numerous times and the style of humour this makes mr bean look like the watered down he is is much better in black series btw br br this is not monty python but you can never escape the comparison when you are talking british humour and there are a few similarities but not so many as to keep it from being it's own thing and being fresh it more towards the young ones and guest house in its' comedic style br br if you liked this check out the young ones series and guest house movie and of course i assume the tv series league of gentlemen must be rather funny as well,positive +harmony i'm not sure what he was trying to do with this film if it was to turn my good day feeling into a night of disturbing memories than i guess he succeeded br br i know that there were big questions raised in this movie like who are we really what are we here for is there really a god all great questions but i really don't think that is funny when you have the questions along side such tragedy i'm all for real life being portrayed but come on it's never funny when a wife is being raped someone killing themselves and family and friends find the body and people die for unexplained and unnecessary reasons br br the only good thing about this movie was the location it was filmed there is a lot of beautiful places br br i'm not a film student or even know all that much on the subject i admit this but i do know that when i leave the theater with a feeling of disgust then it was not a film i would recommend to anyone,negative +dire dismal awful laughable disappointing br br right your trapped in the cave with several hard men and a woman or two your being killed by something and you still don't get to hear any naughty grown up words a 15 here in england and you could tell br br the of the macho men was just too much pass the bucket i'm going to be sick br br this movie should never be exposed to daylight and ironically be kept in the darkest deepest hole in the ground and be forgotten forever i have a feeling that this description isn't the first time to pop its his head from a hole in the ground br br just like the film the cube it looked like a good concept but was just let down at the last post by well its self br br this comment contains spoilers alright its called the cave br br thanks bruce,negative +i have to admit that i am disappointed after seeing this movie i had expected so much more from the trailers the movie was absolutely horrible it lacked a real story line and the acting was not exactly the best don't waste your time the movie is not what the trailers lead you to think it is i would have to say that i don't usually write anything about movies on imdb in fact this is my first one but this movie was such a disappointment that i just to let people know not to waste their time or money the story line is that of a heist that is to happen and it looks like it had potential to be good but the things that happen in the movie are a little far fetched to be believable watch another movie instead maybe the inside man,negative +would you be surprised if i told you this movie deals with a conspiracy no how about if i told you the was a shadow puppet what you don't believe me ok yes i made that up it's too bad this movie could have used a sense of humor i understand charlie sheen doing this at the time another movie more money as for donald sutherland and linda hamilton why don't even get me started on stephen lang he was so much fun as the party in 'the hard and now this junk br br ah no matter everyone involved should feel ashamed if you aim to make a bad movie and succeed it's twisted but i seriously doubt that was what they were aiming for here flat out the story stinks and we're actually supposed to take this seriously makes you wonder if this movie even had a of hope seriously i doubt it and in an industry so tight with the purse strings how this got green lit in the first place is beyond me maybe even more scary is how this dog pile made it's way to theaters br br oh sam how great you are in law order why are you here yourself to the role of the president of the united states who might i add gets to be shot at by a remote control controlled by the assassin then again this is a masterpiece of work from george p who's directing credits include rambo first blood part ii amongst other gems hmm case in point,negative +this movie is awesome due to the fact that it showed how good cartoons really looked in the 80s the animators were not lazy like they are today the cartoon had so much detail with very little resources they have with them compared with what we have today if more people would request these cartoons to be then maybe all of the other 80s cartoons would be shown on television once again therefore to finish my sentence i would just like to say that this was a cartoon that i grew up with and really would like it to be on tv once again,positive +boot air force one gives us an exciting film where the go to the supporting actor john his criminal attempting to the president was first rate and credible br br that is not to the efforts of clint eastwood and russo or even fred dalton thompson who plays a real jerk of a white house chief of staff eastwood was great and i love any film that russo is in br br the movie feature original music by five time oscar winner the the mission days of heaven that alone makes it worth your time,positive +well my dad drove lee evans back and forth the so i got to see some being made its a brilliant film bob walked past a shed with a and he accidentally let go and it went into a fence and he fell over br br lee evans was also funny as he seen me and said are you cold i said yes and he said well your hands in your i think it was really funny and it will be a well known comedy as like every other lee evans film they were really great people they seemed to be quite polite and funny i would like to meet them again one day brenda walked out of her with blood down her and in her messy hair and i got really scared as i didn't notice her until she was right behind me,positive +you would probably get something like this i'm movies for a living and this is the first movie in my 5 year working experience that i found offensive to my intelligence of course there are stupid hollywood movies about drunken teenagers on a spring break but those movies don't even claim to be serious works of art but when someone for greatness and poetry but delivers a muddled and often ridiculous story a bunch of scenes pretentious dialogue then you get the worst kind of a movie that some other reviewer very accurately defined as pretentious crap to those who find this movie intelligent or even masterful i can only say it's your intelligence and your imagination you obviously used to try and make some sense of this pitiful attempt it's in our human nature to try and make sense of things br br one more thing i can tolerate political very well i'm all for artistic freedom and suspension of disbelief but the female character was just too much i wish someone told the director that it's kind of ridiculous even in an unrealistic art movie to portray a woman as a half creature connected to the forces of nature probably due to the fact that she had spent her entire childhood looking at the stars and on a three,negative +this movies made me suffer and i loved it loved it it haunted me for days i think erika is the kind of character you simultaneously and the most terrifying sex scene ever caught on film this is the best of work so far he is the only living director to pace since kubrick the violence in this film is gorgeous in a word the film is about self hatred in a sentence the film is about trying to find love in order to stop hating yourself and finding that that is a hopeless hope,positive +i loved this movie the actors were wonderful and suited their roles the story itself was great and true the setting was perfect and the message about human response to the war danger and risk was exceptional the person who wrote the music score also did the music for life is beautiful another favourite of mine his comment was apparently that this was not a like an english movie it was like an italian movie i think he's right blue is perfect for the part of eric i recommend this movie to everyone who wants to watch a story that is true and morally uplifting as well as a beautiful love story,positive +imaginary heroes is clearly the best film of the year it was a complete and utter joy to watch i was the whole audience up at the sunset five was when the film ended no one moved spoke nothing i think this film is a perfect example of the of the power that drama has especially in so much as it sets an example of the quality of drama work of this younger generation br br there were moments in your film many like at least seven where i was struck by such a great amount of beauty emotional beauty that i actually couldn't breathe for a while and for a like me that's about the best experience i could ask for it is the result of powerful masterful storytelling and direction like stuff like and those guys br br each element of the film fit tightly together there were no at all the cast was amazing i have been a huge fan of and for a long time and i thought they have never been better i was am will be continuously stunned by this film and i promise i will drag every person i know to see it it should be seen it should win awards,positive +the problem with this series is that it is too real i am watching it on amazon and having just finished episode 2 i hate absolutely hate the leader of the cell i cannot recall any television series ever having this emotional impact remember the old tag line for horror movies just keep telling yourself its only a movie well i find myself repeatedly reminding myself that its only tv but of course it isn't only tv is it the possibility of a cell such as the one portrayed here actually operating in the united states is certainly within the range of that's what gives this program its vicious authenticity and that's why i hate it so much,positive +it is clear this film's value far the cost with which the format mini implies in fact the filmmaker the format and it so into the storyline that i forgot the fact that i was not seeing the typical 35 film it has the core appeal of indie movies like the work of robert rodriguez combined with a fantastic new take on the romantic comedy genre this is not a film is an honest film with honest portrayals and it is a superbly paced narrative there is not one point in this film where i felt a scene could have or should have been on the contrary the director pulls amazing performances out of truly gifted actors and does so in extremely circumstances from page to screen this film is a worthy and relevant story that hits on so many levels creative technical or otherwise i highly recommend it for all who enjoy cinema or those looking for a little charm in an otherwise devoid of charm medium,positive +i saw this today with little background on what to expect of the storyline i go to the movies as an escape to leave everything behind and enjoy a story i found this to be a good movie not great but good it was worth my money and my tears br br diane lane was wonderful as always richard gere isn't an over actor he held his own and has a certain presence that we always come to expect he brings his own style to the movie br br i think it was the kind of love story that doesn't always get told it was messy and they had other but they wanted to be together and wanted to wait for each other br br i'd definitely recommend it,positive +okay it is terribly and i mean terribly easy to pick apart this film what do you expect with the title synopsis and actors in leads such as carol ralph baker jr dorothy davis bill thurman and my personal favourite roger ready yes b star john is here as a sheriff out to rid the landscape of a robot like ape from a experiment gone awry the movie has dreadful performances dreadful scenery dreadful special effects and dreadful lighting i really cannot find much good to say about it other than as bad films go you could do a lot worse as far as finding something dreadful to sit through it is short and has many moments of humor missed lighting faux off screen terror an unbelievably inane score and of course john trying his level best to be the core of the film with an earnest performance amidst this the beginning is the hardest part to sit through as it seems like it takes forever for these two teens to get their for traveling in the woods down the texas back roads where great ape soon will his vengeance in his own terrible way yeah right night fright,negative +whereas the movie was beautifully shot and reasonably well acted the script was dull plodding and nothing we have not seen before not once in this film did i ever get the feeling that these people were really in danger no noticeable climax and a very standard resolution i believe these type of movies have been overdone and should be given a rest after all didn't everyone on the planet see list,negative +it's been over 30 years now but i still remember that this movie was the worst i've ever seen i would have thought that in this length of time something worse would have been filmed but i was mistaken i just finished watching starship troopers and it came mighty close but it was still more entertaining than poor cow,negative +here is another great film critics will love the problem is that it is not a very good movie br br the films premise is simple nine escape a prison after the one goes crazy and tells them where the treasure is br br the first half has a lot of slapstick some of it very broad while the second half is a character driven descent into fantasy and melancholy br br the two simply don't mix individual scenes do work very well the guys crashing a friends house who has a new bride is hilarious while a later scene with the big guy working in the restaurant at the they simply don't with each other br br the movie as well is missing entire set ups one scene shows the guys desperately looking for change under a deserted machine to buy a the very next scene has the whole crew in drag sitting down in a restaurant where did they get the dresses and the crew includes both the big guy and a midget how did they get all the clothes and money to buy the meal and most puzzling is why are they in drag they are clearly guys in drag and lets face it is there anything more memorable to witnesses than a big guy and a dwarf eating a meal dressed as women i mention the big guy and the dwarf because besides the old guy everyone else seems to blend into each other in fact they wear matching white throughout most of the movie the movie has very little character development in the first half and as a result the second half really lacks an emotional punch as we are often trying to figure out who is who in their individual payoff scenes br br speaking of a drag the second half has all those wonderful sweeping camera shots and big emotional moments and great symbolism that makes a great film it is also excruciatingly slow which makes for a boring movie br br 9 souls is a big disappointment the reviews about a great film and it's in there somewhere good luck finding it yourself,negative +maybe it is unfair for me to review this movie because i walked out well before the end that's odd because i usually like shakespeare on the screen and i enjoyed dream once many years ago when i saw it on the stage br br i think that two things did me in that with the name and michelle sitting in a giant well i suppose you could say it supposed to be a comedy but when the scenery is funny and the actors aren't i'd say we have a bad movie on our hands,negative +over the past century there have been many advances in gender but not so much in the world of movies i'm not talking about what goes on behind the camera i'm referring to the tastes of the audience the idea of a chick flick is alive and well today while there are still plenty of action and horror films which appeal primarily to males sure there are men and women who enjoy the movies that fall outside of their typical but there aren't many movies which have appeals across the board the latest will smith vehicle attempts to change that trend by being a chick flick which throws in a dose of male perspective br br smith stars in as the title character alex a date doctor who trains men on how to approach a woman and have a successful date enjoys his job and loves to see men successfully accomplish their goals of going out with the woman of their dreams but due to a bad experience in college himself is somewhat on the idea of love as the story unfolds the film introduces two seemingly separate story lines latest case is albert kevin james an who is very attracted to one of his the beautiful cole has his doubts about chances but if his desires seem sincere supports them br br in the mean time meets sara eva and is instantly attracted to this strong woman however the date doctor can't seem to follow his own advice in pursuing sara things get even more complicated when job leads her to investigate the relationship between the and the will be able to balance his private life and his job and more importantly can believe in love again if you are a true movie fan then there's been at least one time in your life when you've complained about the of the hollywood movie factory and cried out for something new and original well ain't that movie but most movie fans will also admit that occasionally a formulaic movie can work solely on an entertainment level does qualify as that film,positive +as being selected during the des this year 2002 catherine is masterfully of her film there where her lead actress anne la femme luc admirably the film director of intimate scenes br br this is a comedy of actors' manners making of film genre pornography or sex is comedy is a post modern film with its script based on a film within the film as an story of a love scene the film is built with a constant of the forms and the spirit in which keeps on breaking and the using visual and certain sense of the formula catherine her analysis of the sexuality as an isolated problem outside the society to be communicate by the door of the heart br br therefore colin good work et claire denis the of angels eric in the role of the actor and fat girl catherine marie from the bay of angels the actress are actors whom she she does in an interview the man in front of him even a man then films the shame and the sexual but also a big hope a disturbing dimension of the ecstasy a nudity of the feelings the of the playing to be one to be one the director is finally expected to lead the actors to give their feelings their body and their soul so arranged facing the problem of the order of who i am the actors of put on an to in her work in progress but for what is a shape of incredible for an actor puts many enduring at the same moment a big suffering the actors appear to be the ones who look for this loving transport to be part of the eternity of their work br br the art of is of to know how to in a dialogue aiming at pushing away the limits of intimate scenes join make up in and are not without reminding what pictures and scenes of jan and could be in the and the daily of characters on a shooting set while the moral categories disappear from the background of sex is comedy succeeds in revealing the loving imitation power of the actors in a landscape of and dramatic humanity,positive +mario from europe is the only user who has posted a comment so far and covers the major points to the film yet again another difficult film to purchase in the uk i had to go through midnight video who have a swedish branch i went to the post office and bought by mail order this and a similar title at only a title br br this film goes under many a k depending on when and where it is i had previously purchased the leads the dance which you will find if you search on imdb under people and the actor who plays the count on his private island in the latter film had his words dubbed from italian into english by an actor with an and rather tired sounding voice i when i heard this same voice dubbing on the english soundtrack as the police inspector who is investigating the murder of the prostitute killed in the in the subject film my choice of course was to see another outing by the delicious br br there are quite a few rather sub plots in the movie involving blackmail sleazy affairs with mothers a cycle chase resulting in a hit a by a motorcycle friends sleazy photography cross dressing by etc which give a to this film in a word sleaze but artistic sleaze the aforementioned liked this film but the rating suggests other imdb fans did not albeit without explaining their and personally i thought there were too many subplots and not enough put into the main story and the relationship of these characters to the central plot and the development of their screen characters also a professional film editor was sorely needed as some of the scenes appeared to last far too long having made their point so that the film appeared to drag in places e g the scene of the dancing appears in one scene with a client but this too is but a and i was left wanting more from her the director and the screenplay br br i love the political shown in older films this is 30 years from its making e g smoking in and the way some characters react to each other in the office i would suggest 4 10 as a more realistic rating and i have awarded it as such,negative +i wasn't sure where this was headed until the ending when it turned out that this was all a liberal conspiracy to hand the world over to european and the united nations what a load of right wing incidentally the bit about canada joining the us didn't really have much to do with the plot at all and the idea was never developed the only point of it seems to be that it made the main character to run for president but they could have just made him american and with that in any event this was a load of bull and not worth your time if you to see this kind of thing done well check out the brilliant bbc political thriller state of play,negative +with the exception of the fine rack on clara evans this show was pretty bad so why did i watch it too much coffee and had to relax before hitting the sack watching change into his big chief outfit was amusing at best downright laughable at worst br br i could have made a better and special effects on my br br has seen better days this guy is a year younger than me and he's looking more and more like the scarecrow from his tv series days back in the early 1980 the women eye candy need to go back to acting school although evans size 40 and playing a 17 year old she's in her early was a stretch the sci fi channel has done better that this but for us folks that don't get out to the bars much anymore i guess we have to take what we can get after all anything that gets you away form and fox coverage of election 2008 these day is a good thing,negative +what would it be like to be accused of being a this is what this film explores through the eyes of 2 characters one being the accused the other being the it is a frightening journey from the beginning to the end this film is not for everybody and if you do not understand political thoroughly you will never get the point of this film as proved by 90 of the reviews here,positive +this is a cult film for many reasons first because of the phenomenal success as a musical both in broadway and london then as a musical film the film is close to the play and some of the of the play is no longer provocative twelve years later the against the vietnam war is no longer a protest song against the war itself but a strong song how the young people of these late 60s managed to bring the political establishment down play with some situations at the end of the 70s like the narrow minded justice the self centered of the rich or of the little ones who have just one rank of power more than the he also heavily plays with the racial element and the sexual ambiguity he builds all the time the film remains pleasant and thoughtful and of course it is a tremendous thrill to remember these years when we have had the and that was not a chance to live them november 11 1969 mass celebration for the which became the order for teachers at all levels to take their students to the celebration and the march supporting thus the invasion of cambodia that was in full swing and some dare give lessons in democracy to foreign countries i also remember the long campaign for the of in 1973 1974 that will eventually lead to his and the swearing in of ford the first vice president and eventually president of the us who had not been elected since he was vice president by the after had to to face trial conviction and sentence for of course that makes us think of today when in 2000 a president of the us was not elected by the people but by the supreme court or of a war that was rejected by millions world wide from the very start and even before the start and was started against the better judgment of the united nations and of three permanent members of the security and some speak of a new world order based on the respect of others modern western man seems to have some problems understanding that the world is changing and has already widely and wisely changed modern western man seems to be kind of out of sync and to need special evening classes to learn that democracy wants the majority in the world to be the majority and the west is far from that majority and that if the soviet block had been able to understand that market economy is not capitalism but that market economy can be either or the berlin wall would have fallen but the other way round and that china has learned that lesson well and is at the foot of the wall they have to climb over to learn that their market economy has to lead to political democracy but they will just like vietnam was able to itself after thirty years of vicious war and damage in other words hair is a perfect food for thought br br dr jacques university paris university paris 1 university saint quentin en,positive +you don't see the meaning of the title till much later but you get the point of it in the first few minutes this directorial debut from golden globe nominated for actor danny also playing owen ned lift is a terrific hitchcock like film about one man's hate for his wife's book she stole his and one man's hate for his mother basically owen wants to be a good writer like his teacher larry billy crystal and he inspired by murder stories larry suggests he see a hitchcock film quite ironic and that is when owen has the idea to kill ex wife margaret star trek kate owen is inspired by on a murders so larry must kill horrible oscar and golden globe nominated anne larry was convinced owen killed margaret and also that he had to wanted to kill but there is a happy ending when months later both larry and owen bring out books died naturally and they went on a holiday with beth ryan kim also starring rob as joel and oprah with hilarious moments a great director actor and his support this is a must see comedy very very good,positive +it seems to me that a lot of people don't know that blade is actually a superhero movie on par with x men and the likes what all these heroes and in the case of x men hero group have in common is that they were all conceived in the magical world of marvel blade was originally a normal person in a blue outfit who chased vampires because of a personal grudge and eventually facing of with dracula himself and he was for lack of a better word boring so boring in fact that the character was and in fact never used in the marvel universe at least until he was br br david did a stroke of genius when he took the character of blade and turned him into a leather clad dark knight he can't take all the credit though and much of this must go to stephen as well who with his distinct visual style brings out the best of the character the blade character wesley snipes is pretty amazing in this film and mixes martial arts with batman like darkness snipes is pretty good as the title character and is successful in bringing out the and inner demons of the character he is however a pretty rigid actor both in voice and in and is only interesting enough for one film which is clearly seen from the inferior sequels kris kristofferson is good as well and really brings the tormented character of to life with energy and sense of timing wright however is fairly weak as a leading lady making her character relatively flat and lifeless is pretty funny and manages to do a lot with a minor character german should also be mentioned as he brings a lot of and style to the vampire race probably born of his experiences from playing dracula stephen provides the best acting in the film and his chilling performance as frost stands as one of the best screen villains i have perhaps ever seen br br the story is good and i feel the vampire genre something that hasn't been done since robert from till dawn by adding a lot of contemporary elements and maintaining the comic book feel by saying that the film has a comic book feel does not mean that the film is unrealistic far from it a lot of effort has been put in trying to make the film seem as real as possible including the effects which are pretty good for their time i found the vampire to be a very nice touch in of adding a lot of blood when a vampire dies chose to let the vampires com bust which looks great the fact that the overall effects were well done adds to the credibility of the film which would otherwise have fallen flat on its face br br as previously stated has a very distinct visual style that sets him apart from the directors of the following blade movies del toro is nearly as skilled but i prefer style his style gives the film a very special look and feel but most importantly it gives the film atmosphere a very tense dark atmosphere which works great in tune with the main character and story along with the visual style the music which also works fine and adds a lot to the atmosphere of the movie br br all in all blade is a very entertaining movie that should probably have had an 8 from me but a few annoying flaws which cannot be revealed without spoiling the movie suffice to say many of them are located near the ending of the film does that the film must settle with a high 7 br br 7 10,positive +there are films that make careers for george romero it was night of the living dead for kevin smith for robert rodriguez el add to that list absolutely amazing a less flawless film making and as assured and as professional as any of the aforementioned movies i haven't laughed this hard since i saw the full monty and even then i don't think i laughed quite this hard so to speak talent is considerable a less is so chock full of double that one would have to sit down with a copy of this script and do a line by line examination of it to fully appreciate the uh and of it every shot is beautifully composed a clear sign of a sure handed director and the performances all around are solid there's none of the over the top scenery chewing one expected from a film like this a less is a film whose time has come,positive +a great production that should be i doubt that it would be out of date i'd love to hear from anyone who knows whether videos exist of this series or any other information about where it could be found or viewed,positive +br br i rented this movie on 20 june 2001 and watched it for about 45 minutes i that watching a blank screen would be delightful by comparison there was not a single person in the cast for whom i would have shed a tear if hell itself had opened up and the whole bunch of them br br so i e all of my friends and relatives warning them and i am taking the time to urge everyone who may see this note to avoid this movie like the plague i have seen some really bad movies in my time but never one as bad as this,negative +if someone had me about 15 minutes into and asked what i thought of jamie foxx in the title role it would have been time for a blank stare after all what is this person about that wasn't jamie foxx up on the big screen that was ray charles this is one of the best performances by anybody in recent years like the soundtrack jamie as ray is flat out brilliant br br the blind genius of soul who took a revolutionary step of mixing with r b died during production the movie about his troubled life is good not great taylor direction and james l script follow the well worn biopic outline super talented battles achieves greatness while also self then picks himself up out of the for a happy ending the film shows flaws heroin abuse bastard even as it sucks you in with his beautiful music br br washington and king play the main women in life one his long suffering wife and the other his longtime mistress both actresses match foxx for what takes him to a different level though is his deep understanding and uncanny of the great musician the entire cast is effective especially sharon warren as his mother and curtis armstrong as a music stars are likely to be rewarded with and better yet more starring roles br br i was not a ray charles before apparently the film has left out a lot as do all but this picture functions as both an old fashioned crowd and a dark investigation of a brilliant troubled man for those who that foxx doesn't actually sing as if that somehow his performance take a no mere actor can sing like mr charles anyway you can't have everything what the talented star does in this picture is about as close to everything as we'll probably see for a while,positive +i have long tried to understand why people like shakespeare so much and every few years i give him another go i was hoping that this play film my different shakespeare play would the lucky and marry me to the of this literary i clearly chose the wrong key br br once the phrase pound of flesh had been 10 minutes into the film the main parts of the plot were transparent which along with a script and lifeless acting at every step the plot is laid bare two scenes in advance the concept that a dying aristocrat would his daughter to choose her future husband by means of a is it is no surprise who wins the because a main protagonist in the play and he's the third man to try and there are three to choose from and his friend risks his life to pay the the only genuine surprise that i had watching this film is that it did not end immediately after the resolution of the court case however as soon as the ring began it was immediately apparent what would br br ok so i know that millions of you love shakespeare not for the surprise in the well known stories but for the depth and passion of the characters but i felt nothing for the characters rather than with suspense and admiration during the court scene i sat there hoping that it would be over soon please br br one day i might just find a shakespeare play that does something other than bore me,negative +when wallace and burst onto the scene in their academy award winning short a grand day out they created a fresh new look at after two more shorts dynamic duo returned for this thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining movie it has an excellent voice cast humorous jokes and good animation as only could do br br in this movie wallace and run anti a rabbit company when word gets out about a were rabbit eating all the in town a frenzy ensues of course victor the town's handsome wants to get his hands on the rabbit to impress the lovely lady but can our favorite duo save the day before chaos ensues br br the jokes i should say were hilarious one point the villain victor crack was showing a character to cry out beware the moon vintage br br the characters are crisp and hilarious our favorite team of man and dog entertains us as only they could do them their second oscar remember a grand day out helena bonham carter was terrific as the lovely lady love interest ralph was especially funny and foreboding as the cunning wearing hunter victor but the one who really stole the show was the priest whose antics proved to be some hilarious comic relief br br hats off to for creating another wallace and masterpiece,positive +valley girl will always hold a special place in my heart i would say this is certainly the best of the 80's teen sex comedies but that is a back handed compliment this is a good movie period it is very specific in time and place nearly twenty years later this is a marvelous yet its story remains timeless this is just romeo and juliet minus the death after all nicolas cage is wonderful showing all the early promise that it turns out he has on overblown action deborah is the revelation of this movie and i can't believe she didn't go on to have a bigger career someone her quick this is and than most films of the genre the requisite nudity seems thrown in by and while not groundbreaking it certainly is nice to see this kind of movie that respects its characters and doesn't its shallow young girls for having fun even crew of best friends misguided by pressure are never presented as villains indeed her friend forced to w friend fred has a good time despite her and makes out w fred in the this will take you back to the early 80's if you were there but it holds up quite well today warning to those unfamiliar with the movie do not watch one of seemingly of it go rent it in its glory otherwise you are missing some of the most potent time specific dialogue and one can't write about valley girl and not mention the soundtrack of great 80's tunes most of them by one hit wonders which are not only integral to the sense of time and place in this movie but well chosen see it awesome little flick,positive +this picture is an interesting saga of the struggle of led by daniel in the wilderness of gap while being threatened by hostile indians a frenchman is the cause of all the trouble between the and the red men while tries to convince the indians that the only want to build homes and live in peace the film has a certain appeal because it is not a polished production but there are good action scenes although somewhat violent for its time the cast is comprised of b actors but they are all good especially as the indian chief bruce bennett is okay as but is a bit too clean cut and soft spoken to be believable as a the dialogue is rather trite but the scenery lends itself to the realism of the kentucky backwoods,positive +just thinking about the movie i laugh to myself anne plays an unforgettable part as ' probably the most nasty yet hilarious ever captured on film danny and billy crystal make a fabulous duo bringing a true warmth to the film though not exceedingly complex the cute story holds your attention and keeps you laughing the whole way through it's a fun comedy to things up and even will entertain the kids i give it my full recommendation,positive +possibly the worst movie i ever saw the person who shot this movie probably never learned not to film directly into a shining light you can't see anything in this movie it is way to dark the parts where you can see something the camera is directed straight at a light source so you get big lens so you still can't see this movie should have been a radio play or something some parts of the movie are actually edited upside down for some kind of crap effect low budget movies can be done so much better then this and low budget is no excuse for this an editor should have said something when he started editing and saw that you couldn't see anything maybe the makers should have spend some of their low budget on a preview so they could see what they shot the only good thing about this movie being so dark is that you can't see the awful acting it also covers up the crappy people at film schools make better movies then this movies shot with handy look better then this,negative +i didn't hate this movie as much as some on my all time black list but i consider it a total of film jeremy iron jeremy ron jeremy think about it scene one is very good all the rest are crap,negative +kate played by one of the most nominated actresses of the last decade of this century and also one of the most talented actresses meryl streep out of africa she is wonderful is every part that she plays the graduate is the pride and joy of the american cinema br br health is and her husband george role well developed by brilliant actor and also oscar winner william hurt smoke kiss of the spider woman has a hard time with the health of his one true thing and seeks his daughter's help the poor daughter ellen jerry maguire has way too much expected of her no breaks the story takes a very realistic view on the illness of a parent in this movie the only daughter has to put her life on hold to care for the needs of others there is always one in every family who faces that kind of responsibility ellen is angry the beginning of the movie but as time passes she ends up understanding her life time dedication to her family she even asks her mom how do you do his every day in and out and nobody notices it that is what women do a lot of what i call invisible work moreover we clean we fix we we stretch we celebrate we are the best friends we are the mistress sensitive some of us like both women in this movie have the perfect education are the psychological for the entire family and also do all that invisible work that is kate ellen and many women in our society many of us have already gone through that stage of life when our parents age and died i have been there they just went too young i have given my parents my thanks but i never understood them as well as when i had to play their roles and had to walk in their shoes this movie mirrors the reality of life perhaps it is sad but that is how life is at times george a professor at is complicated person who appears to think that his work is more important than everybody else and has a very master servant mentality toward the women in his life he is not strong enough to cope if you want to see good acting and the reality of life do not miss this movie favorite scenes the restaurant coming to kate and all the making of a table out of broken china that i so symbolic we are all broken favorite quotes george it is only by going that you realize that you are really going downhill george you have a education but where is your heart br br,positive +this is one of the very very few films that are so overwhelming that you are very unlikely to watch it more than once or twice in your lifetime other examples are claude documentary and come and see by the director's husband which covers much the same unbearable territory but in a very different way br br i suppose this is just as well given the difficulty of ever seeing a print br br apparently it's extraordinarily overt christian symbolism and admission that there were active russian that it was hardly ever seen in the and of course post soviet russia has very little interest in films of that era br br the one time i saw it in london was in a festival of russian movies shown during the era i e probably c 1988 however it apparently has been shown several times in the uk more recently so at least one subtitled print must exist here br br as far as i know it has never been released in the west on dvd or video so if you haven't seen it your best chance is probably to join a film society and endlessly them to find a print and screen it,positive +well i must say i initially found this short to be quite average but having watched it nearly 5 times since its constantly shown on i've developed an enjoyment of the simple plot elements and reality of the situations presented coppola contributes a solid addition to the category,negative +just saw this movie yesterday night and i almost cried no it wasn't because it got me utterly no it was absolutely horrendous sometimes you see movies that make you wonder what will become of the human race in the near future this movie is one of those it's as though the writer actors director et al just came together and copied and scenes of their favorite horror flicks it all together and said hey here's whip after seeing this movie i could not help but be tormented by the sight of people whom call themselves actors around like they're some kind of talented artistic do not be fooled they suck don't bother wasting your time or money,negative +endless about the evil world bank and the americans are blamed for all of the movie is long about two hours but it seems longer the french actually occupied the country in which the movie takes place for centuries but are only bad guys br br one doesn't learn enough about any of the characters to really care what's happening to are completely to the preaching which goes on and on and on there's no plot no character development no humor except for a few at bush and but that's almost cheating it's so easy and the production values are redemption there br br it is amazing that a movie can spend two hours preaching about such a big topic and convey utterly zero real information the irish i was dying and then the came has more content br br the movie is boring the sub titles are tough to read there is no real content about the subject of the film and the propaganda is relentless br br skip this one,negative +spoilers enough i have actually seen the film that this horrid film was a sequel to it was called the fighting eagle and i saw it when i was just 8 years old it made such an awful impression on me that i never forgot it i've been an mst3k fan for a long time so when came out on tape i bought it i was horrified to realize that it was a sequel to the wretched movie that i'd seen so long ago costume has somehow gotten ever than the last time i saw him how can he wear that tiny little bikini doesn't he care that it shows off the fact that he has no package and poor he gets no lines and no girl and has to follow that haired around all the time has anyone else noticed that miles walks like a woman no wonder he's not interested in the pretty if somewhat lackluster the evil but bad guy is more to his taste i'm sure i loved cardboard painted helmet and the way he spent all his time trying to touch some part of the fight scenes are so badly choreographed that its a wonder that the swords ever manage to connect the dull old guy spends all of his time standing around looking depressed drinks from a cup given to him by a guy who hates him and then looks surprised that they drugged him he must be pretty smart though he invented a hang in the space five minutes then flew it into a in the space time so that he briefly into century that was after he stabbed the giant snake puppet of course and saved the post while she sat around doing absolutely nothing the real hero of the movie was who saved several times from his and killed the evil in the bargain kudos to the only competent person in the whole film,negative +when commenting on this film one must realise that it is based on a true story and must therefore be reviewed for the quality and accuracy of it's portrayal of the events as well as its entertainment value it may well be implausible that jack shepherd should surrender twice to jack wild because wild had captured none the less it happened it must also be noted that the director was young and inexperienced which explains why he relied upon tried and tested techniques there were occasions when did not have the confidence to follow the script as written the film would be better if he had and yes i used to have a copy of the script stanley copy one of five which i returned recently to my father the writer,positive +if you're looking for an accurate portrayal of che guevara the cuban revolutionary who helped aid castro in his for power you'd better read up on cuban history or even type in his name on a search engine you are on the internet after all br br but whatever you do do not watch che br br unless of course you just want a good laugh br br all the reviewers of the time and gave che their vote for worst film of the decade and no wonder have you seen this travesty its facts are at best is even unconvincing as a corpse and as for imitation br br like i said if you want a good laugh br br it's like watching a co production between the learning channel and mad magazine br br one star br br i wonder if palance can do w c fields too,negative +1st watched 10 2006 4 out of 10 john mildly entertaining story of a group of five kids who are forced to live with their eccentric uncle while their father and mother fight work in world war i as england entered the war they are told not to go in the of the mansion which of course they do over and over and they discover a sand fairy who them daily wishes that only last until the sun goes down this is the it referred to in the title created by the jim group and voiced by eddie izzard the problem is their wishes usually bring about other problems that they are supposed to learn from this part of the movie is not done very well because it's obvious the children primarily the character do not learn from them but instead keep going back to it to solve their next big problem it is not nearly as funny as it could have been with the comedian eddie izzard really not given much opportunity to and kenneth branagh is wasted as the eccentric uncle although he is the best character the children are fine as far as their acting abilities but the story probably would have been much better going into the fantasy realm but they did have a human story to tell as well which probably caused the confusion with the filmmakers so all in all this was an ok film but could have been much better,negative +this is the one major problem with this film along with a good deal of biggest movies done in a pretentious way by pretentious people br br it's really sad but big shots movie makers driving dodge from this believes they got the they know what the little people like br br we're not a rich every time a big movie like this 30 millions is made it's cutting off a lot of others who won't see their movie made because of lack of help so it mediocrity only movies from friends of the family are going to be made br br i sound angry and i am i went see france expecting a journey in the lives of my but i found myself stuck in a pool of inconsistencies french accent we gotta please our cousins so f our language and lack of historical research is only a few add a campy love story and the same music score playing again and again and dumb viewer is gonna open up and ask for more i'm glad this pretentious piece of s didn't do as planned by the dodge big shots it's gonna help movie makers who aren't in the very restrained movie business of br br rent bar instead and have a real good time br br ps i'll never forgive them for ruining such an awesome title,negative +prior to airport these movies were rather good they had decent special effects all star cast and good acting this movie destroyed the franchise and there are many reasons for it lets talk about the special effects wow they are horrific what was the director thinking about i know it's only 1979 but lets look at other very good special effects movies such as star wars 1977 and 1979 i like the idea of the and this could of been the best airport movie but they did too much with it how about joe george shooting a out of the window to prevent a heat seeking missile from hitting the also he is doing 90 degree and this completely far fetched and unrealistic wow believe me the special effects don't help this scene and really are beyond poor they almost look like a cartoon and this is how the whole movie is finally lets talk about the acting which in my opinion is extremely poor to fair at best over acting is a major issue in this movie especially george kennedy which i really like as an actor but just doesn't cut in this movie the full blame has to go on the director who did a very poor editing job and really whacked out the airport franchise too bad the isn't still used today it was a marvel of air travel,negative +murder over new york is one of the better chan mysteries and i've just seen this for the first time br br in this one charlie chan is visiting new york to attend a police convention at the same time people who are involved with aircraft plants are being murdered and he decides to help with the investigation along with his number 2 son these murders turn out to be the results of at the aircraft plants and chan helps to identify the murderer br br charlie chan is played well by sidney and the rest of the cast includes as his number 2 son and weaver br br i rather liked this mystery and is worth having if you like this sort of thing br br rating 3 and a half stars out of 5,positive +this coming from an adult who happened to come across the first one expecting a movie aimed towards children and was surprised at the adult humor that was in new groove the character i liked most of all was so i was thrilled when i heard of the sequel featuring non other than br br i just watched new groove it took me two days because i had to shut it off i was so bored halfway through it i finally watched the rest of it the next day and unfortunately the 2nd half was every bit as lame as the first br br being a disney film i was expecting to have some musical scenes however this one was filled with them and they were not amusing the great thing i found about new groove was that it could be appreciated by a wide audience from to adults new groove in all honesty did nothing for me nor my girlfriend and we both loved the first it is really aimed towards young children the comedy is pretty childish the musical scenes are not very well done and the plot itself is extremely corny br br save yourself some money and rent this movie if possible because its definitely not worthy of a second viewing i was extremely disappointed and shocked at how thrown together this film was they actually managed to make a character not funny in this film that is amazing in itself br br obviously every ones opinion but i am very easily amused i usually enjoy sequels even when others them mostly because i loved the first so much i needed more of the characters and no matter how bad the plot was i would enjoy the film i cannot say the same for this one i never would have thought i would be turning it off half way through due to pure boredom br br buy at own risk,negative +i know that parker and matt stone really hate celebrities and spoof them in every single episode of south park if not showing them then mentioning them and they love to mock and joke and make fun of themselves too but i felt this went too far br br for one thing the most common running theme in the documentary is that they're episodes are meaningless pieces of crap they put out just for the money obviously that's completely untrue if you even bother to watch any episode and the constant you know i learned something today 's said at the end of almost every episode by the main characters the creators are also depicted as pompous arrogant who only care about money including a supposed to be funny but isn't scene involving hayes delivering lines for chef over the phone and parker yelling and screaming at him for sucking and hanging up i guess it's supposed to be funny but the in it just really made it cringe br br the way they interview employees working for and matt shows the duo as who push their employees to the limit all just for money in the end completely untrue obviously and all a joke but it's just not funny it's disturbing even though it's just a joke,negative +this movie really shows its age the print i saw was terrible due to age but it is possible that there are better out there however this was not the major problem with the movie the problem was that although the film was made in 1933 it was essentially a silent film with only the of dialog scattered only a few sentences in the film in the most amateur fashion sometimes the characters' backs were turned or they were talking with their hands over their faces all in a pathetic attempt to obscure their lips and hide the fact that the film was dubbed well its true that this czech film would need to be dubbed into many languages but to do it this way was really stupid and obvious it just looked cheap br br overall the film looked low budget and silly it's really a shame though because there was a grain of a good story a young woman who marries an older man who is either gay and or has no interest in women but in the 21st century few people would really be willing to sit through this mess even with a few glimpses of the naked and somewhat hedy it isn't worth all the fuss that accompanied the film when it even by 1933 standards this film was a poorly made dud about the only interesting thing about the film is to see how different looked in 1933 compared with the glamorous image hollywood created when she came to america she looks like 2 completely different people br br it's such an looking and technically inferior film i don't see how it has gotten such rave reviews for technical problems alone the movie can't rate a 10 or anything near it,negative +i was 10 or eleven years old when this movie came out and it has stayed with me for 35 years since when the movie came out all of the theaters in the st louis area distributed as a a pack of flower that had the movie name etc on the front on the back of the pack it read in so many words plant these at midnight if a white flower grows you are saved but if a red flower grows you are doomed suffice it to say that for an eleven year old kid i did not plant the for fear of what may pop up here is the spoiler as the movie starts out you see a small toy tank moving about in the dirt on a small road a family is leaving town and suddenly the camera turns to the tank again and it is full size it rolls over the car and you see bloody limbs from the then just as sudden the tank is small again br br the reason this movie stuck with me for that long was because i had a exact toy tank as the one in the movie unfortunately i don't know what happened to it but i did keep a eye on that thing ever since br br turn out the lights put in the dvd make a and watch this movie it is very good,positive +i went to see with high hopes because the director's shower had impressed me so despite a few into shower ranks high on my list of all time favorite movies for its insight into family relationships and its generally superb acting and direction and i've seen it at least three times now br br but fell flat in my it seemed a pointless exercise and i was quickly so tired of the main character's personality that i was longing for the movie to end i admit to falling asleep six or seven times but it was only for a few seconds at a time so i think it's still ok to write this comment br br i did admire the parents and sister the device of using all real characters in the film is a nice one i've never seen used before br br disappointment aside i will still make an effort to see any film bearing name simply on the basis of the beautiful shower,negative +i just watched it last night and it was great i can see why some have ill feelings towards it from a fan and culture point of view but other than that i have no idea what's so negative about it the movie is great it has a lot of heart very inspiring and to all ages great family movie they did a pretty good job considering that it was a budget movie i love movies based on true stories events i was raised around all my life it is a great game but i was never really taken to it because please forgive me if i offend anyone nothing personal this is just how i saw it i thought their are not as ruthless or hard the players are not as and don't seemed as serious like other and it looked like it's all just muscle and each other etc but after watching forever strong i was like wow i was proud it did good things for well it changed my view of and also the new i actually cried i am not even new and i was proud of their culture didn't even know what the meant until this movie the movie is not about techniques or it's not even about new zealand all blacks or the or etc mother of br br so to all you beautiful negative you are missing the point i am sure if they had the means it would have been better the is in there because that was part of culture tradition or what ever you want to call it br br so any new members on this site such as myself please don't be put off by those negative comments see it for yourself must see movie there is a lot you can learn from this movie of all ages it definitely makes you want to be a better person and be humble this movie reminded me of a lot of things that i already know and was raised with but i kinda lost along the way loved it happy reading and all the best br br,positive +the story isn't very strong don't expect a bourne identity kind of movie it started of strong tara speaking russian and it even sounded credible not that i'm the russian language expert had that depressing look what gave this movie potential i still believed in it to bad it only took about half an hour to see they really missed the spot with this one acting was poor maybe because the story itself was not very strong there is this part in the movie where gordon patrick nick is having a conversation on the phone with the c i a like you're listening to a chinese w t f too bad the writer didn't even take little effort to give the main characters depth also bit of a cheap and easy ending br br plus point is almost every scene where tara reid is in not that she's acting that well in fact she doesn't but she really looks great in this movie overall it was a bit of a disappointment rental maybe,negative +that this film at the box office and still struggles for the recognition it deserves today is a great pity yet somehow rather appropriate the commercial suicide the committed by making this film is by the suicide they commit on screen to destroy so brutally their carefully constructed image as a wholesome american alternative to the beatles is courageous to the point of as is the admission of being no more than in the entertainment industry trapped in the movie literally in their own the television series was not that conventional but head is utterly although in the end there is actually some kind of logic to it all by a genuine storyline the surreal sequence of events is by turns hilarious and rather disturbing the greatest irony is that the effectively signed their death warrant as a commercial force at a time when they were reaching their artistic peak their exploration into reached its with the soundtrack to head all the songs are woven into the film which is one of the albums of the the began to after the box office failure of this movie but head serves as a noble legacy,positive +unfortunately a boring flick and obviously the only way to see it is the butchered public version which is so and dark that at times you have hard time making out where the screen is the leading actors are a the man spends most of his screen time trying to appear charming and sexy forgetting totally what the film is about and that he is a murder suspect because of some dame who played him for a to start with the dame herself merely walks through the flick being if she's not busy appearing cute it's a rather badly written stuff never interesting or witty no good camera work no memorable soundtrack no glamorous actresses or atmospheric sets it only the surface of the genre and nothing happens if you miss this totally flick,negative +when this showed at the seattle film fest i was the only person standing and and cheering the rest of the crowd or was silent it is a well played small film that reaches deep into the reality of a young gay man's humanity it is about a real man and does not play to the insipid hyper muscular gay that passes for the genre of non porn gay cinema and that is why so much of contemporary gay genre movies are so dull this movie is intense and great tragedy the acting and directing and cinematography is fantastic it all keeps the film and tense and passionate don't miss this if you can find it,positive +of apple and with your i didn't know until looking it up just now also the wants to kill i prefer this very focused deadpan drama over over the top comedic but with your is much more layered and subtle but that's another director br br once the part of the story takes place i felt the dread of coming back to the shop again and again a bit claustrophobic maybe that is intentional it builds on the atmosphere you dread the and again and again until the in the br br this is some funny stuff,positive +i thought this movie was too absurd for me to finish watching it the premise was too silly and predictable i didn't make it far into the movie br br let me see she is obviously older than the unless she is a lot younger than she looks he is black and she is white she makes more money than him he is only a that's 3 of most failed all rolled up in one and we are supposed to pretend they have a chance in hell she would be better off marrying the guy she doesn't love br br i only watched it partially because i love as an actor his acting was superb hers it was ok but the premise is too silly didn't see the end couldn't make it there so i don't know if it ended differently from the way i predicted the ending would be i can't imagine any black woman liking this movie there is something sickening about watching a black man to a white woman like that and an old one at that please not in the real world,negative +makes invasion usa look like apocalypse now this one can only be recommended to us john supporters or members the message is very simple let's shoot them all everything that isn't american br br besides this is badly acted badly scripted badly interpreted incredibly stupid but no fun at all this movie could be used as a device by cia sorry there can't be any us because they are the good,negative +my bad film guru and the president of the exposed film society this one on us last week there was no denying the demented in his eye as he pulled it out of its brown paper bag and announced what he had in store for us the most dangerous game filmed on a budget of about 2 95 br br of course 2 95 went a lot further back in but still br br anyway there is certainly a lot to dislike about this film it with serious technical my favorite was the that fired twice in two minutes without benefit of a the hero is a who stands by while his wounded friend fights the henchman and gets killed br br more ok the plot is a with no continuity to speak of the movie wastes five minutes with a guest who serves as the physical of the madness and paranoia but never shows him again the hero is unconscious by the henchman but makes no mention of it when he wakes up and first meets his host the mute servant girl is captured put on the rack and then the movie and the hero who put her in this just sort of forgets about her br br more well the sets are cheap and the special effects are cheaper the makeup is an exception to this much of the plot is carried by the voice over which carries less dramatic impact than the menu at most of the dialog is simply ridiculous and stilted as if it was translated from japanese i demand that our conversation be pleasant and the color values tended to shift violently from shot to shot as if cheap film stock and lighting equipment were the order of the day note this last may have been the fault of a bad print rather than the camera crew br br but there were a couple of nice moments here and there the makeup effects were good in contrast to the rest of the film the actors were looked interesting especially the mute servant girl and the and in spite of everything there was a definite creepy atmosphere to be found very nasty and disturbing br br so what was the deal with this movie i thought about it a bit and realized that director writer pat basically tried to put a story from of the old horror comics on film that would account for the stilted dialog the character development in a comic character even more than in film the interior logic of the story horror stories went out of their way to include a nasty shock ending and weren't big on psychological realism the over on the narrative voice which belongs in over the and the interesting makeup effects that the grisly pictures that the old artists did so well br br in fact i'd be willing to bet that when saw his leading man during casting he instantly saw that the fellow was as close to being the equivalent of the figures and in faces that artists like johnny craig and jack davis drew as an actual human could be and still exist in the real world he used costumes and lighting to emphasize the aspect of the visuals and turned everyone into living comics characters see the leading blank beauty the strong features oddly skin and sharp the on the tall black henchman etc br br this would explain the movie's knew how to things but he didn't know how to deal with three and moving bodies knew how to tell a creepy story within the confines of a comics page but the nuances of film and live actors escaped him he wouldn't be the first person with this problem of course look at what joel did to batman but he didn't have a big budget to hide behind br br in any case i'm imagine that walked away from this train wreck and probably spent less time thinking about of than the folks who post on this film's message boards he did within certainly vague boundaries what he set out to do and you have to respect him for it even if you don't care for,negative +i just watched this movie at the international film festival while watching the movie i had the feeling that i have seen a movie with a similar story before a movie with ray liotta but i can't remember much of it of course this one is a lot more dramatic especially at the end br br this is the story life becomes a lie that he can not longer sustain after 20 years lying about his entire life to his wife son and all the people he knows the truth is chasing him and there is nowhere to go br br watching make up lies is and funny but after a while you get tired of the same thing the affair with a young girl was supposed to ad something but it doesn't despite that the movie is still funny and involving either it makes you want to help with his lies or help everybody else catch him i liked the photography and the good performances br br 7 5 out of 10,positive +we've all see the countless previews and trailers if you enjoyed getting by the bull you'll take great pleasure in the opening act i must caution the masses however i considered taking my under 18 son with me but am i did not this of obnoxious skits contains a few that albeit as hilarious as they may seem to the adult community a few are not for the immature these guys must get paid a great to tolerate some of the stunts sometimes played at their expense in particular and are by the group in a few particular stunts enjoy,positive +i have become a big fan of the work of so maybe i am already a little biased by now but i think this movie is great although there may be a few it is a romantic view of the great in the later sixties amazingly polished great set design and in my opinion still very watchable br br basically this is an ironic re telling of the story of adam and eve who are driven from paradise after having the fruit which has turned from an apple into a filled with heroine the woman a man into using it thus his doom i say as the guy seems to be doomed and bound for an life and an early grave right from the great title sequence there is no place for any hope br br although the story is rather sad i was captured by the beauty both of the beautiful location and farmer i found her character was at once shallow enigmatic endearing annoying interesting and boring somehow she represents what men see in women in a basic way architecture and built in general are put to very good use – which seems to be a trademark of sorts br br there is even some humor mainly delivered by the german main character and his accent his main nemesis is not a snake but an older german of dubious reputation – and of the heroine called wolf although it is a german name and is german he it english and in fits of jealousy the name out at his girlfriend in regular – becoming a boy who cries at times has to work in order to earn a at one time the guy goes and afterward up a rock with his rubber – never has male frontal nudity been funnier in movie history,positive +jack lemmon and walter matthau have got to be one of the best buddies ever to work together they have made lots of movies together i think they are both fantastic when they do work together in a movie out to sea is a fantastic comedy movie i think to watch i give the movie 10 out of 10 jack lemmon and walter matthau will be remembered when the movies they did together will be on tv they will be sadly missed god bless you both,positive +well the hero and the terror is slightly below average in my opinion yes chuck is a real martial artist and kicks some butt in this film but it is rather slow and the acting in my opinion is for the most part although i think steve james does a decent job like my friend ryan i was confused as to why the psychopath chose to go to the theatre at the end of the film rather than to go after girlfriend until than the killer had only killed women oh well i guess it wasn't as predictable as i thought a film you can pass on,negative +i've seen this movie more than once and it's worth it for those of you who like martial arts and internal conflict this is a worthy choice after seeing this movie i wanted to be a more member of society because i could relate to the inner turmoil of a girl looking for acceptance and needing a path to follow of course mr always provides his advice 2 thumbs up,positive +i bought this chuck norris dvd knowing that it was one of his earliest films and it shows we all know that he will never win an oscar for his acting but that's not what we watch him for although there have been a few in california since this movie was made there never was any desert or hills between 99 and i 5 billy was supposedly crossing over from 99 to 5 along a distance of less that 15 miles i wish that the writers producers and directors of these movies would at least look at a map as a truck driver who spends a lot of time in california i could tell right from the start that the was wrong however there are worse ways to spend an hour and a half so grab your and an adult and enjoy a trip back in time,negative +i found this dvd in the store and figured why not support some film and watch a cool horror flick please save your time and money and pass this one by the acting the script practically everything with this film is sub par there really isn't much of a story and there is no character development i found myself not caring what happened to the people in the movie as long as something happened everyone is supposed to be college age but they all look like they are in their mid thirties except for the woman who plays a mother who looks like she is pushing 40 in fact the worst part of the film is that every single scene is shown in a master shot there is no editing no cut ins or close ups do yourself a favor and skip it,negative +much about this movie was beautiful the acting the scenery and without a doubt cinematography background showed through on the beautiful shots definitely worth watching as your attention will be captivated the entire time and it ends on just the right note br br the acting by newcomer jonathan was superb as one would think he was a pro acting since he was born he has gone on to act in other feature films but this starring role will always be remembered br br the film does have that academy award feel to it at times where it's slow and and quiet so it's not a movie that a d d kids can sit through however the feel of east bend and played out well as a 1940's era film,positive +my favorite show of all time yeah i thought this was so cool and was the first crush i ever had it was well written funny except when it it wanted to be serious and just a great show overall but since we couldn't afford to keep nick i couldn't see any episodes after 1996 and maybe that makes me think more of the show than i should to me it's more the now that doesn't look spelled right of having to say goodbye to someone that you love and know you'll never see them again and i still think that because as far as i know there are no plans to release this on dvd any time soon yeah life is mean i've found that out for sure though you can find an odd episode every here or there but i never liked the copies of things much either br br so enough of my sad life most kids in grade don't need powers like alex gets to get them through life unrealistic for sure but then again how many towns have a super evil chemical plants that is willing to do anything for progress at any cost gee this show was fun to watch though i'd agree the is a bit over developed and even a little politically correct sometimes my favorite parts were when the kids would have some reason to break into the plant a video tape or something like that like a kid's version of tom six which years later i got hooked on that game series for probably the same reason almost then you've got the security team who are trying desperately to find the kid from the accident very mean at least when i first watched the show they seem more sympathetic to me now i feel rather sad for not sure if she minds this role type casting her but it's what i'll always remember her by br br oh and btw the actor that plays aaron from 24 is on here too as a school coach or something too cool maybe he can get the producers of that show to get in next season of 24 i only bring it up jack bauer is my other tv hero and i'd just love to see cross over things lol both are set in california so i'll just keep on i can see it now let me alone with that suspect for a few minutes no i don't need a car,positive +i agree with most of the critics above more yet i was shocked by the presentation of the love scenes with the homosexual couple why because while they the director the producers didn't have any whatsoever in presenting the different couples in the most passionate including nudity and super close ups of french kissing and all sorts of nude in bed completely unnecessary in their length and in the story when the moment came to show the same experiences with the homosexual couple they only dare to go as far as an excruciatingly painful hug almost among with two very nervous actors so in reality the makers of this film found homosexuality to be unnatural as one of the characters says in some scene what a difference with the spanish cinema i remember being at the projection of an film in an italian cinema in rome and being completely amazed at the total lack of reaction from the italian audience they were afraid to have a reaction when in spain people would fall down from their seats laughing at all the situations and fabulous wit and flair obviously in italy there are dark forces in its history that the free of some very normal and natural emotions pity i must add that i was quite surprised to find that this same comment was by another it's very bad and dangerous when we cannot be allowed by the of others to express our opinions about certain matters where is freedom of speech i don't know if that will of the changes i was forced to make in this comment and i hope he won't receive the same treatment from some other narrow minded judge pity again,negative +the sound in this movie is a nightmare that is the best i can say for this movie any chance of a good story is lost once this films starts the premise of the film sounds good a playboy who comes to terms with the people around him the plot is predictable and very dull the wet t shirt contest may be the worst scene i've ever watched and is almost worth watching in a mystery science type of deal the sound is at times hard to hear and the main actor seems to not know how to speak clearly his accent makes him very hard to understand the only bright sport is the acting of penelope ann miller her role is underdeveloped but she plays it well in short do not waste your time,negative +much better than expected good family flick catch it on reruns the whole is more than the sum of its parts paul up the scenery he has way more talent then the role deserves a treat to watch inspector from the go over the top the blue man scenes had my 11 year old in the cameos were particular fun for the parents nice to see lee and again it's going to be tough to think up 10 lines for this film but let's hear it for a movie that honesty between a child and their parents amanda does a fine job when she gets to be part of the i normally can't stand frankie but he is just fine here hats off to the casting director if only for hiring,positive +to be honest i thought this movie would be a japanese drama i was dead wrong this movie is based of the popular japanese anime novel of the same name it tells the story of a town that is cursed by the or the spiral in english little by little the towns residents start to slowly become dangerously and violently obsessed with anything to do with and some of the residents start to actually turn into living things the actually have some sort of spiral within them such as a br br the movie was one giant random acid trip twisted with romance and drama sort of like what makes this movie disturbing is the ways that some of the people are obsessed with the spiral for example one of the has a garage full of house hold objects with into them one girl took her extremely long hair and to an insanely huge spiral like style one kid slowly transformed into a human one man could twist his body into a spiral shape one woman attempted to cut her ear open to obtain the inside and one teen ran over himself so that he could be twisted around a car tire and one kid stuffed himself into a so he could become a spiral br br another very disturbing aspect of this very well is the atmospheric tone and the style in which this movie was shot the camera angles add to the psychotic and twisted story in other words a very good cinematography the overall of this picture makes for a somewhat demented story the is a blend of green yellow and a little orange and the special effects with some of the are outstanding br br however like many japanese films this one has an of forbidden love and romance between a girl and a boy however with all the and strange happening going on in the town it is hard to keep up with the relationship of the two teens but in some way it is very irrelevant more like a second hand story that has nothing to do with the actual story of the spiral obsessed town br br overall i would recommend this film to anybody who likes vastly different and bizarre foreign films it has just enough and insanity it touched me,positive +young woman home and possibly quite gifted a disturbed overly emotional side which comes to the surface after her father pays her mother a visit asking for a divorce directed by celebrated cinematographer william a this ill titled psychological thriller falls into the trap that most films by directors of photography find themselves in each shot is composed for the style but at the sacrifice of fluid pacing and a tight gripping narrative and his cinematographer are very fond of whites and golden tones giving the picture a feel the mansion at the center of the action looks like a funeral and the yarn just like a funeral robert shaw and sally as fiancée two of the most interesting actors of the 1970s manage to cut through the plastic and are quite compelling despite the editing which turns their scenes into little bits of half realized business sondra locke another interesting screen personality seems cast for her resemblance to catherine in pale and eyed with thick and long hair locke is a curious human puzzle and she's initially quite and dangerous however this role is so old hat that locke can find nothing fresh to bring out of the deep freeze and she allows freak out scenes to go on and on while shaw looking is put in the impossible position of playing daddy to her all of this nonsense might be worth through if the screenplay had been with a of or at the very least some dry wit or humorous relief as it is lewis john and edward limp script adapted from novel go to the viewer early on and only the charisma of the players gets us to the finish line 1 2 from,negative +this in name only sequel to the classic has a agent john coming to the rescue of his uncle will when the uncle is badly beaten up by a local drug gang headed by that wooden indian of an actor jake busey the gang wants to take over the poor guy's bar for reasons patrick is sorely missed here is an indifferent actor and not convincing as an ass kicking the fights here are and not nearly as powerful or vicious as the fights in the finale is equally weak some good looking women keep things for a bit there is a terrific fight between a daisy duke type who turns out to be handy with both and weapons and a nasty looking babe of who is handy with sharp there's also a scantily dressed gal at the beginning who is a fellow agent of but unfortunately she never in the film too bad she does a brief lap dance for that had my full attention if nothing else 2 kicks off with a strip club scene that comes close to what a real strip club looks like a rare in any movie the rest is time,negative +i quote below words from my favor writer as the comment for this movie br br when you really want something all the universe in helping you to achieve it br br it is too easy to forget who we really are and what we desire to do in life because there are always too many comments and advice surrounding us to tell safety i had almost forgot what the passion feel like despite of the adventure will take me out of safety zone i believe the fear is just the price that i need to pay for the coming brand new journey in life br br thanks for inspiring me with this lovely story it is the for me to realize what love is that is the most love from the light of soul,positive +there are a few scripts like this one floating around hollywood this one is not even close to the best just the first this is all production value no substance but the disney name probably will help it a good idea a wasted opportunity,negative +it was amazing as a and an at the new york library event on night october 18 i was to see a pre release screening of the new movie the runner the release of the movie has been because of concerns about the of the child actors involved i am grateful that the event was allowed to go on as planned br br regarding the movie i feel it was masterfully done it had as much impact on me i think as stanley a clockwork orange even though it is much less graphic much less there is no comparison between the horrendous shocking violence and rape shown in a clockwork orange and the small amount of violence actually shown in runner only the subject matter and the for the human psyche are comparable i have written more details about the violence and child rape and how it was handled on my my overall impression was that this film was fantastic one of the best made films i have seen the depiction of the boys flying their captured some of the beauty and grace of an art form unknown to most of the world the subject matter is intensely serious and the movie carries the emotions of the audience into that subject matter without many jarring hollywood touches which have ruined other movies although the of was an obvious bit of symbolism to me br br finally i must mention the excellence of the sound track the by the boy of poetry by as two main characters are fleeing the country during the russian invasion under terrifying circumstances truly showed the power of those i urge anyone watching to disregard the subtitles in that scene to the extent that you can and just listen to the beauty of the language i don't even know what language is whether his normal is the same as original also please note the sound heard every time a line is cut i found it a profound distinctive sound though the who were with me did not notice it at all i can't help but wonder if actually make a sound like that when they are cut or if it gives a sense of the sound experienced by the during competition,positive +nicely done evil little comedy the fbi against organized crime with a nice lady caught in the middle the actress who played the jealous wife of the mob boss the almost stole the show with her raging 3 stars,positive +i saw this on the sci fi channel so i knew it would be bad to start with but i was surprised at how much worse it was than expected the cg effects on the dragon were terrible even for the sci fi channel and the writing was pathetic i couldn't tell if this was supposed to be that stupid as a joke or if it just came out that way the only redeeming quality of this movie is that it's so terrible it's almost funny especially the part where patrick knight character goes home to his knight father who has retired after losing his legs and is now bed ridden in his armor for the sole purpose of letting the audience know he was a knight the majority of the movie focuses around an enormous dragon egg that into a not so enormous baby dragon with some of the worst cgi i've ever seen this was just awful,negative +if they had a zero out of 10 i would of entered it everyone involved in this film should be ashamed of themselves taking money from the public i don't know how films like this get released video or pay channel i am disappointed in vincent val kilmer was in it for about 8 minutes so i can't get that mad at him only the person who listed him to be the star in it it is like marlon brando in superman there is no plot except searching and finding his friend in the why they were searching for the gates of hell only the director knows they should of kept this film in and burned it for fire to keep all the homeless extras warm for the night there is nothing more to say about this film that all the other reviewers have written i wish i could forget this movie it hurts my brain,negative +possible spoilers included but nothing critical given away br br i just watched this classic low budget movie on video and was knocked out by the level of energy present on screen all the actors do themselves proud especially john daniels must see another of his films not only does this movie great performances but manages stylish sequences like when the baron throws someone out of a window and we see of glass falling into a swimming pool which from the impact of the fallen man i love the way slow motion photography was used in 70's cinema dreamy and hypnotic cool and witty black great one liners while slimy seedy of white trash come to unpleasant ends i love it my rating 10 10 if this ever comes out on dvd count me in for a purchase,positive +i have been waiting to see this film for ages and i finally have as soon as i heard the title i knew that this film would be my favourite film ever and when i saw it believe me i wasn't disappointed br br this film had everything dance love and patrick there was so much in it and it dealt with important issues that were at the time 1960's such as abortion br br the dancing in this film was fantastic just like the acting was was brilliant just like grey was too br br although this film was absolutely fantastic you cannot say that you have seen it if you haven't seen the last scene it really does take your breath away as the whole choreography of the last dance was done brilliantly it had you dancing at the end of the film and it really wouldn't surprise me if it influenced people to take up dancing br br overall dirty dancing is a film not to be missed and even if half the actors are in the where are they now period the actors will always have this superb film in their career,positive +this is a film notable for what is not shown as much as for what is what is shown is the incredible poverty in as the 19th century gave way to the 20th a life style that made people dream of the world of america the family live in a place that is not even a hamlet just a stone set amid the harsh stones of a country that cannot offer even a single blade of green grass an opening sequence sees the males up a stones in their mouth to offer at a at the top in exchange for a that they should set out for the new world or remain where they are it further shows life aboard the liner masses indeed yearning to breathe free and conditions in island where their journey still not over they are and examined to prove their to enter america what is not shown is the ship in or indeed any shot that would identify it as a large ocean going liner what is also not shown is anything that would identify america no cliché view of new york and the statue of liberty so that island could be anywhere in any country perhaps the most remarkable shot is the one from a camera looking down on hundreds of people together slowly almost two thirds of the people at screen left begin to separate from the third at screen right and we realize that those on the left are actually aboard the ship and those on the right are on the a powerful statement of society being there's a strong documentary feel throughout as though we were following an actual ship full of immigrants even though it has been carefully scripted and is clearly an of typical families conditions at the time with almost nothing happening in dramatic terms it's not for the popcorn at the but for the rest of us it's a very fine film indeed,positive +i would say this is a background movie play it the background as your to busy work checking email etc i thought this was a film that was done before amy adams became successful after enchanted wrong it was done in 2009 the screenplay script is pretty awful i love musicals but the singing is just average and doesn't move the plot along it almost seems like it's a made for tv movie based on the cinematography am i watching a tv show br br even the secretary breaks out into song what the f is going on actually she seemed to have the best voice amy adams was so great in enchanted lead actor is average disappointed for sure this movie would have been good for lifetime but that's about it,negative +kramer vs kramer is one film to hold on too and not forget it isn't one of the most popular films ever made and is certainly one of the weakest best picture films but it does not mean it still isn't important i thought the movie was well done and made you just want to watch more and more of it the performances were the best positive for the film and dustin hoffman played one of his best roles he's ever done as the lonely who has to take care of his son as his wife from him billy who is son played another great performance along with meryl streep playing the depressed mother of billy kramer vs kramer is not one of the greatest films and is not a perfect 10 but it succeeds in making the film worth watching and worth caring about it certainly one of best films he's ever done i highly recommend it br br 9 10 a,positive +this has to be one of those times you come across a movie with a neat cover my first impression sweet full moon a scarecrow holding a ok my impression i had watched scarecrow on tv a weeks ago perfect a nice slasher film to start the evening with wrong absolutely wrong i think 5 mins in i was gonna take it out but thought i wasted 3 on this so ill finish it the scarecrow well im guessing its the legs of the fisher man wearing heavy duty rain boots you see that every so often i was watching this thinking ok when are those gonna run into this dude at one point i thought they died but no i mean their still alive i only at a few parts cause of how badly staged they were one was the zoom in part at the start the director actor writer says remember i had that feeling well i have it again and it was either a zoom in or zoom out to hell i'm checking back but i guess the scene was supposedly shocking i mean whats more shocking is his wife had the same shocked look ok she believed him im sorry but yeah i didn't know he was psychic until i read the movie box to make some sense out of what i witnessed not only that they used pictures to make you think this movie is at least clear br br the other thing that made me laugh a bit was the scream in the camera to make it scary ok filming a girl close up screaming into the camera for 5 mins right i laughed cause of how pathetic it was these kids cannot act like the rest of the people in the movie br br to top things off the must have got lost or something cause seems the bad guy had just a stick not even an someone should axe the production film br br don't fall for the picture this movie is a piece of sh t i watched the trailer and guess what it has br br girls where are you talk to me and corn,negative +the first thing i wanted to do after watching this film was watch it again because i'd missed lots with all the laughing i did i'm european and i've studied abroad and i've as good as lived with spanish french italian and german people the film was full of stereotypes which more often than not p people off and reading some of the other reviews i see that it did p people off but this film gets the stereotypes so right i cannot fault it except for maybe the way the french guy became a drunken party animal the english guy was the perfect stereotype drunk annoying insulting but shines through in the end as well as the stereotypes the film also got the emotional aspect of studying abroad correct at first he's shy doesn't know anybody misses home doesn't know his way around as time progresses it becomes his home and when the time comes to leave it is extremely difficult a feeling people can only understand if they've experienced it i highly recommend this film,positive +spoilers below mother is the story of jesse sissy a divorced woman who to her mother anne that she's going to commit suicide this is a fascinating premise that is of all and excitement the brilliant hook turns out to be a cheat the story that follows is lacking in substance gravity and value where are the shocks and surprises as mother and daughter have what may be the last conversation of their lives where are the secrets revealed the and fantasies and regrets they're here but they've all been painted the same dull color that keeps emotion in the background and the of playwright norman at the expense of everything else the result is not a film but an test br br let me my comments by saying i find sissy to be one of the greatest actresses in the history of motion pictures a woman so so natural that she continues to surprise and me after twenty years of stardom she brings a touch of class and magic to everything she does and i've seen her rescue more than one film from the bin with her face and vulnerable eyes her soft voice and sweet smile it was because of the great that i watched this film in the first place and for one of her movies to be terrible it has to fail in a significant way this film fails in two br br first and foremost the film is adapted so from the winning stage play that it is claustrophobic and repetitive the entire movie is a two woman dialogue between jesse and her mother what worked on stage a middle aged mother and daughter argue for two hours in small house dies on film a play no matter how great needs to be adapted for the it is self indulgent and arrogant to believe that the dialogue is so perfect that not of a word of it can be altered the screenplay for this film could have been by thirty to forty pages and a knowing screenwriter would have given the brilliant and competent some physical sequences some facial reactions something to break up the wall to wall fest and prison like single set it is no wonder that the screenplay was adapted by the original playwright norman who may know theater but reveals herself here to be clueless in film br br i cannot over emphasize the effect the stage play script has on the film watching jesse and her mother argue about impending suicide is redundant and dull the women walk from the living room into the kitchen into the and back into the living room where they start all over again a tiny house is not the ideal location for a single set film and the director never tries anything clever or original never tries to break up the with an exterior shot or or a flashback or anything there's no music no other characters no other stories just two women covering the couch and arguing their opinions the given to the play is even shakespeare's most classics get up for the screen the commitment to the original play seems almost it's as if the film was made only to document the dramatic treasure that was the stage play with the audience an br br the other reason the film fails is anne she may be a good stage actress but on film where presence is 80 of performance she rarely seems to fit she certainly doesn't fit here playing a grandmother but looking more like mrs robinson before her morning coffee she chases jesse around the house looking more than and seems extraordinarily unsympathetic even when her lines convey a loving if flawed woman br br sissy is great as she always is honest and open and so good that you actually understand and agree with her character's choice sissy lets us see that jesse is a flat tire a wrong turn of a woman who has had every bad break and made too many wrong choices she's never had control of her life and her suicide will be her way of finally saying no more this is where i get off that's how she puts it anyway and when you listen she proves in all her films that a good actress doesn't have to behave like a man doesn't have to be all and and borrowed in this and in films like coal daughter she quietly demonstrates a soft strength and quiet depth that is as impressive as it is you can't help but fall in love br br that's why it was so hard for me to watch mother is wasted in a stilted stunt of a film that never serves to engage or even distract i would not recommend this movie to anyone except die hard fans of sissy like myself and even then you'll be disappointed i do give the film an entire letter grade bonus for the ending which is courageous enough to let the lead character do what's right for her and not to a hackneyed happy ending grade c,negative +i really liked get but this movie was completely disappointing as a sequel first of all travolta does not in any way resemble the from get he merely half this performance as he has done in all of his more recent movies he totally isn't smooth or have the mobster presence about him that makes you kinda root for him throughout the movie it just seems like travolta rolled out of bed and decided he was good to go for acting in this movie the plot just wasn't exciting or clever there really aren't any highlights that happen the only thing that entertainment was watching christina perform and the rock was funny but anyways long story short this movie was trash and i had to force myself just to get through it,negative +when you first sit down to watch this movie keep in mind that you are about to see something you've probably never seen before keep in mind that this is a movie where they obviously spent insane amounts of cash on explosions and not enough on acting or anything else for that matter the crazy thing i noticed is that every character is completely over portrayed and it seems most of the time anyhow that the film had been to make the characters move faster i wonder if the hong kong version was dubbed too i understand the cartoon had this but it doesn't work for live action it just looks odd as if the camera crew decided to act because they couldn't afford real actors br br the english version is horribly dubbed and the character's words do not match the mouths at all i would have subtitles but since this is a kids movie and since some kids cannot read well i'll let it go but there is something extremely odd about this movie it's supposedly a kids movie but there's a lot of material about sex rape and which isn't exactly for young western audiences in the they have different laws and sexuality in children's movies is much more accepted but parents be warned there is a scene where two characters talk about rape multiple scenes where people say and a scene where this insanely young japanese girl does a sexy dance for one of the and shows him her breasts who was this movie made for anyway br br oh and the special effects are laughable you can tell the spaceship like things that bomb the village are cardboard or animation i wasn't sure that look unconvincing even to a kid the makers of this movie left out a lot of cool things from the cartoon simply because they couldn't budget the kind of money they'd need i didn't like how the names of all the characters were changed it made me wonder if this movie was made by the same people as dragon ball z br br i don't really this movie to anyone kids adults or dragon ball z fans it's just a poor representation of the cartoon and obviously one will be able to tell that this movie was rushed and no care whatsoever was put into it i won't even get into the just wait until the end credits at the still picture that sits there for 2 minutes most of the shots are not framed correctly at all and the movie just seems made by amateurs grainy film quality too br br just all around horrible br br,negative +is a heavy metal band from the great city of des in which the wear their own distinguished mask i know someone already said this but i need to fill up space for this review the band members are joey mick sid clown james corey chris and paul this band is one of the best new heavy metal bands in my opinion and should be heard by everyone that loves hardcore rock another good movie is called which shows the performance at the london the my plague video was shot there and is included on the dvd the most kick ass song they made is also on there so if you love the band you need to see this and if you love heavy metal music then you have to hear this band,positive +sam the film editor on the suspense flick rosemary's baby from 1968 here directs a tv made sequel one in which patty duke in for is off early and inexplicably presumably to help flesh out the more aspects of this story about son on earth most interesting is the return of ruth gordon to her oscar winning role as with ray well cast as her husband roman but she isn't given much to do and looks terribly uncomfortable at being involved anyway this script is strictly low rent goods and must have original author ira who went on to write his own sequel fairly dim and with poor photography and no suspense or scares whatsoever,negative +the concept for this movie was quite good but somehow the execution failed on many parts there aren't many horror movies that i can think of that used dolls that looked so realistic especially when these dolls start their eyes or moving hands so much could have been done with this premise there were a lot of scenes where there was room for tension and suspense and i really was expecting creepy things to happen but never did the movie managed to be scary one of the main reasons is that the story is too minimal and predictable i actually thought that they did this on purpose in order to surprise us with some wonderful twist sadly this doesn't happen well at least not in the way that i hoped for the cast also failed to make it all believable it would have been nice if more background was given on the characters in the beginning when we get introduced to the main character it seems that she and other characters are invited by some sort of artist but it also is apparent that they don't have an idea themselves what they are invited for of course this is part of the mystery but it does seem unlikely if i got an without having a clue what the deal is i simply would not go furthermore most characters aren't real likable with the end result that you never actually care for them another flaw is that the director from the basic premise which is scary enough and brings up new elements that never get explained and aren't even relevant to the doll master mystery overall this movie has been a big disappointment to me if you want to see a good horror movie involving dolls go see dead silence,negative +how much do i love this film now i'm not a fan of bad films but i do love a film that is so bad it's good this is one of those juan pace has a great butt looks on screen and definitely doesn't make a bad turn at his acting debut i believe billy zane is suitably mean and moody though i still constantly feel that there is something more in him i felt it in titanic the look on his face when la on him for example totally broken shocked and put down fierce kelly is a pretty face no seriously i think that's it it's worth catching this to see one really hot guy some big from nasty from billy laugh at the dialogue in the scenery and madness of the whole affair i'm go watch it again now yes i bought it,negative +rarely seen a movie that so much from the original premise and still remains more or less is a rather short which is a good thing in this case that focuses on the mysterious box who wanted it to be made and how it cast a spell on the entire of the man who eventually created it we're introduced to 3 generations of the family all played by bruce one in 18th century paris one in the present day and the last one in a future galaxy far far opinions on this storyline may a you think it's very idiotic and far fetched and the initial atmosphere and setting by clive barker has completely yet the morbid surrounding remains and several sequences are still very creepy and unsettling contains quite a lot of exquisite and the charismatic presence of doug still is an extra horror value – accompanied by a pet puppy this time – still knows how to bad he talks too much and his vicious speeches tend to get boring quickly best aspects in this production are the newly introduced and the occult portrait giant turn offs are the weak script the absence of the typical macabre humor and the lack of references to initial masterpiece br br although not highly memorable itself stands as the last watchable film after this sequel the series went downhill completely so far 2 more sequels came out 2 more are still in process and neither of those is worth seeing suffered from a lot of production difficulties and the director eventually preferred to be credited as alan he doesn't want to be remembered as the director of it who could blame him,negative +the numbers don't lie people have voted for this film that says a great deal about the standing of one of the most insightful comedians of the late 20th century and for those of you who know the work of bill if he were alive today imagine what he would have to say about the boy president from his home state that his short career remains is a sad situation and this film or rather these two films explain why first you see how his talent was obvious from the start again and again those who knew bill always say he was not only funny he was also unique the film also shows how the quality of his material was too challenging for many in the entertainment industry his drinking also contributed to his career problems but that is less evident in this film and then the second film is a complete performance if you have never seen or heard bill this is a wonderful introduction to the person and his dark but intelligent humor especially due to the fact that the topics are now almost 14 years old yet remain ironically up to date is by the fact that many of the events took place under the first president bush br br watching them together first the biography and then the performance makes you aware of how greatly talented this young man was how quickly his life passed and how the american media can sometimes act as the great big let's make sure nothing is too provocative nothing will be too interesting and the result well as the man himself said go to sleep america your government is in control in his lifetime at least in great this artist was recognized for his talent and was successful there 11 years after his death people at imdb can say something about the film after you've seen them both i hope you understand why more people should be listening to bill,positive +conventional and superficial portrayal was it is supposed that just a few moments with sheila makes him win her love but the story itself and the songs make it and enjoyable experience essentially the final sequence i know why it was given a pg rating br br,positive +this film grabs you from the opening scenes and never lets go you watch upon viewing excitement over coming to america he's a likable fellow you cannot help being fond of him even when his is replaced by as his turn you know that in his circumstances you would be forced to make the same choices he does to survive this movie comments on worship of beauty and all things superficial and is only more true in the culture of the twenty first century himself becomes victim to this philosophy when he tells his blind girlfriend you're young and beautiful if you could see you would have the world and like many a modern gangster movie when her safety is threatened he a powerful revenge his innocence is not altogether lost however for he demands an equally high price of himself knowing he deserves his fate br br peter lorre is in fine form in this starring role only a few actors could convincingly accomplish this character's transformation from innocent to criminal in sixty nine minutes lorre is well supported by all the cast making this a real ensemble picture and not just a vehicle for one star with a bit less preachy dialogue this movie would be a 10 highly recommended,positive +a woman who deals in art starts to have a passionate love affair with a man named john they make love everywhere they go and they play sexual games the problem i had was that was all they did there was no plot at all to this movie or i just didn't see it the hot erotic passion was the best thing about this movie but i wanted something else to happen perhaps he could have been a serial killer or she could have had a secret i just needed something and all that there was was a bunch of love making scenes not that's it was bad or anything i just wanted more things to happen in the movie perhaps a was sleeping with him too anything i was greatly upset that this was all that there was mickey rourke was so hot back then i wonder what happened,negative +love the but this was a lame episode didn't have the same feel that the series or the movie has looked like it was put together in a hurry i didn't enjoy it at all the so called acting was awful the cast appeared like they knew this was a money grab of an episode to get to market quickly i hope we don't have an special next because that will be it for me the writing of this episode was definitely mike worst in the history of this show the direction left a lot to be desired and i almost felt bad for the cast and crew of this weak attempt at a christmas special like i said i love the but this one goes to the trash bin,negative +so when i first saw commercials for greek i did have a few questions to how they were going to approach greek life if they were going to give away sacred frat and secrets if they were going to focus on the brother and a or brings or what most college kids think of greek life as a huge party br br luckily it covered everything the story plot was great it gave you a character to love hate someone you want to be like someone you don't want to be like and of course a crazy roommate br br it was one of my first looks at what writers believed greek life to be like and i can honestly say they hit the nail pretty dead on br br i love how one of the biggest things they covered throughout the season was the relationship between rusty and his crazy roommate its hard enough moving away from home and being forced to live in a small room with someone you don't even know then come to find out you have nothing in common probably every college bound worst nightmare br br sister was pretty much the typical girl on campus everyone is jealous of what didn't she have oh thats right all to herself rebecca and had an affair early into the season which made you feel fairly sympathetic for her character evolved and her relationship with rusty became more and more loving and br br is one of the most fun loving characters and absolutely insane one of my favorite episodes included him getting completely at a strip club and rusty having to call to them out i like how they addressed the issue of gay people in greek houses was a very real feeling character and i really respected him because he stuck to his standards so k was fairly crazy but she actually liked rusty it was surprising and i continued to question her from the start but of course i did want it to work out between her and rusty br br i am definitely looking forward to the return of greek it takes you into the truth of greek life something that a lot of people look past one of the biggest things that and are known for is parties and drinking greek is a great show and the characters are easy to relate to,positive +i think i am some kind of road runner fan i don't care how predictable it is i laugh anyway is predictable most of the time although it is pretty ingenious at the same time as well of course the road runner is chased by the and of course the fails to catch the road runner with every new attempt the plans the comes up with are very funny you see exactly where it will go wrong and you will not disappointed well one time you are sort of disappointed what you think will happen does not but it makes the joke even funnier br br if you like the road runner shorts you will love this one the predictable gags work and the animation is great and pretty original at times,positive +day was released in may 1981 during the height of the slasher film earlier that year fans had been subjected to flicks like my bloody valentine just before dawn friday the 13th part 2 and the burning and theaters still were expecting flicks such as halloween ii the and happy birthday to me i have seen all of these films and out of all the popular 1981 slashers day is by far the worst br br what day amounts to is an exercise in poor low budget film making with bad acting bad writing pointless characters pointless scenes nudity cheesy dialogue and an experiment in editing that didn't work so well and who could forget the classic 80's disco music that plays throughout the film the opening music is only by the music that plays during a chase scene however when renting a movie like this a person should be aware that those details will be in this film so why isn't day considered a classic like halloween friday the 13th a nightmare on elm street my bloody valentine the burning or prom night why do fans still seek those films but disregard this without care br br where slasher films need to succeed above all other areas is in the pacing there is nothing worse than a slow moving slasher and day moves pretty slow the most part is that there are plenty of opportunities to speed things up there are numerous pointless characters who are introduced and who are never allowed the chance to be a suspect in the murders or be a victim there's a sleazy teacher a principal a cunning secretary a dopey school security guard a clueless detective an alcoholic step father a mindless grandmother and a mom to an earlier victim still all of these characters could have a motive to killing or a reason to getting killed but they are all wasted the worst part is that the story still focuses on them and at times entire scenes just to flesh out their character but for what br br what does me about day and its small is that people aren't more amazed by the death scenes fans go wild for death scenes like the raft massacre in the burning the machine death in my bloody valentine the death in happy birthday to me the upside down death in friday the 13th part 3 and hot death in halloween ii and even the car hood death in madman but where is the respect for some truly unique even though cheesy deaths in day one victim gets right through the with a sword while another gets that sword thrown at them like a the best death includes under a landing why aren't these deaths famous among the genre like the deaths in more popular slasher films br br day tries hard to be a great and unique film but there is just an element of logic and pacing missing that really ruins the whole experience its not the worst of its kind try checking out don't go in the woods alone and there is a bit of suspense plus it delivers just what fans are looking for blood gore nudity sex and nostalgia but day will not be remembered as one of the all time greatest slasher films ever made it's not a question of budget almost all slashers have a low budget however it is a question of ideas creativity and that's all any type of movie making is br br recommended for hardcore slasher fans general horror fans might get a little bored and people who don't have much interest in horror at all should steer clear it's not the worst slasher film ever made but its a long way from being the best,negative +spoiler terrible camera work horrible writing non existent plot and numerous plot wonderful acting except for julia roberts who poorly plays someone who is julia roberts poorly catherine zeta jones is adorable in this movie br br during the movie we repeatedly zoom in on each of the twelve characters twelve is too many even for a classic like 12 angry men and the problem is we zoom in on the characters when all of them are in the same room doing the same thing br br yep eating yep eating yep the jew is eating yep the geek is eating yep the eating yep mr sensitive is eating yep yep yep yep yep yep this happens at least three other times in the movie yep they're all sitting in cars bored yep they're all getting arrested frightened yep they're all being led out of a jail depressed br br but it wasn't until i was home that i realized how badly they'd got me on this one this is a heist movie right that's what i went to see right but when i walked in and set my car keys in the change jar only then i realized nothing was actually stolen in this movie that's right it's a heist movie where nothing gets stolen oh they try they go to try and steal some boring document or something from some guy's house whatever and it turns out it's already been stolen 20 minutes of my life wasted then they try to steal some egg from some museum yawn and they screw that up and get arrested br br then we see how some fairy french guy stole the egg even before they did and we get all the joy of except this time the person inside the tight dancing around the fake is an ugly skinny french guy um br br but it turns out he didn't actually steal the egg either actually our heroes stole the egg ago in another movie entirely which would have been a great movie to watch had they made that movie br br instead we see a 30 second clip in black and white about how they robbed some college student of his back pack you heard me the daring caper the ultimate heist the of this 2 and a half hours of utter boring crap is them stealing a back pack from a college student by getting into a fight over baseball teams and distracting him and replacing his back pack with an identical back pack what br br ugh i'm telling you this was so bad i didn't even realize just how bad it was just how badly i'd been robbed until i got home,negative +i've seen dead man's walk and the streets of and now the return to if you are hungry for more after watching fill belly great cast great story most definitely a close second to i will be this movie to add to my collection this is the best or at least my favorite performance by jon voight he is captain call lou jr playing is not somebody i'd mess with he is a bad ass with perspective william peterson does a great job as well rick is back as with an angst filled performance that reminds me of his on blue my only problem with this film and it's really picking is that i had the impression that call wanted to be the first man to cattle in montana and it's obvious that had already been there a while a little inconsistent but easily overlooked as you lose yourself in the fantastic tale i especially love the apparent character growth of and july johnson i've watched this movie several times and am ready for another sequel,positive +i like ali show i believe the guy has comedic instinct but hasn't yet developed it to a talent br br the movie is a little worse than i was expecting i don't find ali g offensive just stupid jokes for 5 year olds some good some terrible br br if you want to watch a movie that seems offensive but is actually funny see tom got br br 2 10,negative +i'm sort of between the review and the hate review i've been a fan of and a for a long time and while this little amateur film was of poor quality it had a number of redeeming qualities i went into viewing expecting the worst thing i've ever seen and wondering if would turn in his grave over it but i was shocked to find that i actually kind of liked it br br i don't want to the movie's faults so i'll only mention a few that keep this movie from being a amateur br br it's very low budget and shot on a video so it has the look of some soap operas but once you get used to the idea then it to be a big deal the direction is pretty amateur and the shot framing and use of distance in the shots is rather clumsy still this film was actually kind of creepy and it stayed more faithful to intent than nearly all the stuart and brian my main exception to those films being re animator and put together the idea of being by some old one is reminiscent of horror and shadow over which isn't to say this movie is as good as those stories so the overall plot is quite faithful to ideas one thing that annoyed me was that words out of the bible seemed to make a zombie prisoner upset and afraid i'm not sure if this was meant to indicate that words upset the old ones or just this particular zombie there was no real answer to that the rest of the christian symbolism in it reminds me of august take on the so in a way this was a style take on the br br i would recommend this film only as a curiosity it shows how a fairly atmospheric movie can be made with nearly zero budget i liked the setting of the wine the shots were sad though using the same stretch of beach and trees and nearly the same damn shot to convey 3 characters' long journey was really sad the director needs upside the head for that the acting was standard for an amateur film with the blonde zombie girl getting a personal award for best of by an italian actress actually i think this film was done prior to the lord of the rings movies maybe andy watched her and thought she'd make a great br br one little to the director though the makeup on the zombies was like bad kids i was upset seeing this and nearly stopped watching i was like oh so that's how we know she's evil and possessed but later on in the movie you see a girl painting makeup like that on the face of an older woman both living so it wasn't an attempt to say makeup but rather makeup was left on after however possessed zombie does equal contact br br on the whole i still liked this movie better than the and films the aforementioned exceptions and had much better budgets but this film did a better job at filming a like story than they did and on a tiny budget br br one quick word to the the make up artist i know you wanted or something on fingers but long black press on nails looked really silly br br a quick word to the writer of the score i know you couldn't resist and apparently neither could the director who it but when the two characters square off with guns for a playing that little from the good the bad and the ugly killed any mood that scene had it was cute but cute wasn't appropriate br br the filmmakers of this movie have read and had a great deal of respect for him i enjoyed the little here and there the character carter with the bad dreams and the character who becomes a zombie,negative +an ear splitting movie a quasi old fashioned screwball romp designed to showcase singing star comedic attributes she does indeed go far out on the proverbial here playing a beyond attempting to prove she was framed for murder a body was found in the of her car after she ran a red light big laughs after an energetic animated credits sequence which is much more fun than the rest of the picture we have nothing to look at but black and red lips set off by her hair and pale what else is there dunne seems defeated playing keeper while the poor choice supporting cast struggles to get laughs with lousy dialogue it's an unfortunate set back to the talents of director james who allows his star to run rampant in the spirit of the nutty slapstick films from the 1930s but even hepburn in bringing up baby had a human side wretched from,negative +this is the first and as far as i can tell the only completed production of heart of darkness ever released prior to starting on citizen kane orson welles shot some test footage for a version of heart of darkness that was to be filmed entirely in what would now be called where we would see everything from the point of view of the main character charlie he would be seen only in mirrors windows water etc the film was never made the technique was used not too successfully in in the lady in the lake with robert starring as philip presumably the coincidence of the two e characters is just that of course francis apocalypse now was based on heart of darkness br br the short novel heart of darkness by the polish born british writer joseph conrad first in a british literary magazine in features one of his favorite alter ship captain charlie who also the short story youth and tells the story of lord jim out of work decides to take a job a river boat for a company involved in the brutal exploitation of the resources of king leopold personal the free state travels from london to signs on with the company and is told that his mission is to take a boat up the river to a far station headed by one of the most agents in the colony a german named of for the production of rubber and other products from station have and no word has come from for some time there are rumors that he has gone native is to investigate take any necessary action and make a report on his return he takes passage down the west african coast to the mouth of the is for weeks while he is forced to his boat at the company station on the coast and finally sets out to find station the river the heat the the the insects the people all take their on his his imagination and his mental resources he finds ill half mad and close to death the final encounter and the death of are almost an especially since conrad is so obscure about what actually happens that we are left to puzzle it out for ourselves this is a novel where you close the book vaguely with the ending but nevertheless the story for its amazing br br this heart of darkness was filmed with in central america standing in for west africa it is best where the novel is at its greatest actually showing us first world what a boat trip up a river would look like but the rest of the film was forgettable tim roth does his best as but so much about the plot characterizations and character relationships has been altered beyond recognition that you wonder why they bothered if the aim was to make story for the screen why didn't they leave it alone it's to expect that no will be made when a book is made into a movie but so many changes were made that to me had no cinematic justification that you wonder whether we are simply dealing with incompetent screenwriters and most disappointing of all was john as he was completely miscast and simply the role everything about him is wrong his looks his acting style his voice his accent everything a vastly better choice would have been someone like bruno unlike an actual german like the character br br this is a very disappointing production and i would recommend it only after you've read the book if you want to depend on more than your imagination to get a visual picture of a boat trip up the river circa,negative +i remember watching this as a child as part of the children s film friday film on and have recently happened upon a copy br br in the twenty or so years since my last viewing this film has lost nothing br br it is an atmospheric tale which with and adds elements of truly creepy imagery of the ghost of the young billy br br shot in the wonderfully area of the film the mixture of rugged and abandoned tin mines to make the setting truly believable br br there is much packed into this drama something long since lost from children's television today and well worth a look if you can track down a copy,positive +this was a excellent movie i deal with a child who i am raising that has and watching this movie was more than word can explain i also purchased the book and it was great i would like to have a copy for my own use and so i can have my son's teachers watch it also i would like to know if anyone could sell me a copy of this movie let me use it for a time or refer me to someone where i could purchase it thank you myra i would recommend this movie to anyone who deal with children adults with special this movie should be shown again on tv the team of doctor's that have been tracking my son would also like to have a copy his special ed teacher has also asked me to try to locate a copy that he can have or that he can borrow br br thank you,positive +this contains like touches but doesn't sustain one's interest a 10 year old a america in a stolen while the usual cult movie suspects dick miller mary commit acts in the name of comedy like his after hours and kiss the screenwriter in making you i remained due to the broad acting you know you're in for it when meat and flea give the most appealing and what did this kid's screen test look like he's recommended to the dozen or so fans of sonny boy,negative +this is definitely a lesser known comedy short from the 1920s the only reason i saw it was because it was on a dvd by films featuring non laurel and hardy shorts featuring ollie they are interesting and historically important but also generally average to below average for the style film compared to shorts by chaplin keaton and lloyd they are definitely a step below them in quality and humor also the accompanying music was pretty poor by the standards of other silent dvds i ended up turning off the sound due to the of the music to set the proper mood but despite this they are still worth seeing br br i've gotta be honest about this short it was the last of 8 on this dvd and by the time i got to it i was pretty bored with the mediocrity of 7 of the 8 shorts so it is possible the film might be a little better than a 4 but certainly if this is the case no better than a 5 the film is a pretty standard short about an incompetent nothing especially interesting and there are certainly much better silent shorts out there,negative +warning slight plot spoilers ahead br br the italian job is not the best movie you'll see all year or probably even this summer but it is a worthwhile two hours because it colors within the lines knowing its limits and not attempting to them br br what carries the movie is the work of the cast in a movie about a crew of thieves the individuals must have a good with each other without that cohesive feel the audience doesn't believe in the characters or and the movie never has a chance but from the first scenes in which the men joke around and on each other while a palace the proper chemistry is in place br br the characters themselves aren't anything novel they're your basic gang of criminals containing about half a dozen players each with a specific and defining skill but each actor brings the proper goods to the table for his or her part mark understated acting and humor fits well with his part as the mastermind edward norton provides attitude and his mustache well in his dark role donald sutherland is the father figure of the crew and he looks the part of the suave and old fashioned thief who is still mentally jason seth green and don't do much beyond their character's abilities but they each nail those parts as the smooth operating driver green as the tech geek with a chip on his shoulder and as the man in well in a part that doesn't ask too much of her she is primarily asked to to drive fast and look good that she does none of the characters are that deep or three dimensional but in this familiar sort of movie two are all that is required br br as the title implies the movie has a european feel to it a la the bourne identity in part because it was shot on location in along with philadelphia and los angeles also to the euro flair is the music which adds to the upbeat nature of the flick and the of the cast the look of the movie is also a perfect match the bright colors of all locales enhance the mood and add to the attitude the not only provide a fun variation on the car chase but also work as a necessary plot device br br the plot is more or less straight forward there are a few surprises but they are more of the swift and smooth turn variety as opposed to the drop your jaw even with those the movie along once the foundation is laid by the first act everything continuously progresses thankfully there are no breaks in the action for a romance something the movie wisely avoided there aren't even any breaks for life ' the story has its purpose and runs that course without the lack of character depth the italian job from being more than a good popcorn movie but with all the complex details of the heist planning such would have dragged down the pace and quality of the flick br br there are a number of that i thought of both during and after viewing but the movie is so enjoyable that i didn't and don't care in the real world most of the movie probably couldn't have gone off that but the italian job doesn't take place in the real world it occurs in a stylish and light hearted criminal world that appeals to the rebel in all of us br br the italian job is a movie in the true sense of the word it has no of oscar and contains no deep moral message it provides pure entertainment and does so quite well br br bottom line maybe the best popcorn movie of the year so far 7 of 10,positive +maybe i'm alone here but this is a crap show i'm sorry but i was in when i found out about bill which i had no idea came from this show until months later and has honestly since lost its appeal but i gave the show a fair shot spike tries to hard to make himself into something he's not which is to say he tries to be human fox didn't even bother to hide the strings when they took him out of the box he came in his sketches try to hard he himself isn't funny and the writers are struggling to write material for a no talent host there is too much good tv out there to waste your time with this show and fox fox we had some good times but you need to get your f ing act together and come up with something original instead of trying to be just another me too network,negative +i am a talent manager i have been for 15 years now i have discovered some wonderful talent they have been in movies and television in my opinion eddie monroe was cast wonderful i love seeing the ability of real people not just a name the actors in this movie were very natural and believable i was very entertained by this film i love a movie with a few twists i also enjoy when at the end of the movie the puzzle is solved i still would like to know what happened to the large sum of the money when you see the flick you will understand what i am saying the all look real i would like to see this film on the big screen the footage was shot really well the scenery of new york was the new york that i know have a happy 2006 and may this movie make it to the awards,positive +i was at a friends house for and watched a dvd of the movie eddie monroe i've been a fan of indie films for almost 20 years i loved the brothers and was impressed how good this movie is my friend who works at sound told us that this movie was shot on super 16 the photography was so good it looked as though it was a shoot furthermore the music combined with fred carpenter's direction was art the storyline was original and led up to an ending that surprised all of us watching very cool the acting by the entire cast was good especially the actor who played uncle benny he was amazing this film was a nice holiday treat and i was delighted to be one of the first to view a movie that many will be seeing in the future,positive +i am appalled to see that so many people have given positive reviews for this film this movie has no redeeming factors the music is not good the acting is pathetic i have a difficult time understanding how someone could enjoy this movie let alone sing its the idea is horrible certain scenes linked to the plot such as the continued love story even though the male romantic interest is a head are so bad that i wanted to do myself harm while watching them the fact that there is scene in which a head flies under a girls' shirt so he can feel her up and she likes it is reason enough for everyone associated with this film to the link to west side story can only be a mockery since to reference such a great movie in such a horrible one is grounds alone to destroy all copies of this movie to make a long story short this film is horrible in every way and if i had my way everyone who likes it should go straight to hell,negative +while the design and locations and photography are strong in this film it is a turgid and melodramatic affair which demonstrates the limits of cinema to convey truth br br the case is the use of the soundtrack music a mix of and andrew lloyd that plays constantly and and would have made max at its over use as it the audience how difficult how how tortured it is to be an artist and then it really counts the story the details at the end br br this and exploitation of emotions was once well by peter about a book this is not writing this is barbara precisely the same critique can be made of this film a vanity project,negative +i have been reading comments on imdb for some time now an 8 3 average for this movie just plain gets on my nerves i don't mean to pull one of those i just signed up for an account so i can post on this movie bits but i just did the only theme you will come away with from this movie is that incest does not deserve to be br br now i realize many film people love this movie nevertheless it is crap the thing that really gets to me is the fact that the director expects you to have sympathy for the in the movie if you do have sexual relations with your sister you should probably be an from society just my personal feelings i guess yet i sat through 2 hours of this expecting some really deep reasoning behind br br i tend to like a lot of foreign movies but this is my first encounter with a korean flick and it has put them last in line in my book oh i feel better already after a little,negative +great movie post apocalyptic films kick ass this one is no exception kept up the pace and interest without a of dialogue mainly through some good character development the fight between reno and the hero was tight i also liked the use of cave paintings and medieval like weapons to show how primitive and savage mankind had become without their technology and the connection between the beginning and end was a little spacey that is i had a hard time understanding the between the hotel and the opening sequence in sum kick ass character progression design story without the of dialogue and most importantly the always appreciated desolate scenery of a post apocalyptic,positive +i was looking forward to this movie i like road trip thrillers i like sex drugs youth action and a great sound track and i was especially interested in taking the movie trip across europe to see if i recognized any of my own travel spots br br from the first scene however this movie was unwatchable what was guy doing driving on the wrong side of the road what could possibly have blown up the van that rolled down a shallow if they're such bad drivers why would they take a delivery job and that's just the first scene not even bad enough to be campy or silly just horrible horrible horrible waste of time move on to something anything else,negative +i enjoyed the film very much especially the performance of the exceptionally beautiful li as the br br it was a little distracting however to have chinese dialogue plus english subtitles plus american voice over even though the voice over was very well br br the first emperor of family name was and his given name so in the english he should have been referred to as king or emperor and not as king as in those days the two family given names were not used together br br the state of is not shin a pity the didn't get this right br br i this but was at the end when the commentary announced that he was buried at an together with his warriors the town is see an never an surely the american voice over could have got that right,positive +this could have been great the voice overs are exactly right and fit the characters to a t one small problem though the look of the characters mostly the supporting or guest characters look exactly the same the same bored look on every face only with minor changes such as or weight size it looks kind of odd to see a really big guest voice coming out of a lifeless form like the characters here if i am not mistaken kathy did a voice over for this show and it looked too odd to be funny br br there is a few other problems one being the family plot the simpsons did it much better where you could actually buy most of the situations the characters got themselves into here we get too much annoying like someone having a weird fantasy and then we are supposed to find that funny but for some reason the delivery is a bit off as you can probably tell it is hard for me to put a finger on exactly what is wrong with this show because it basically nothing more than a clone of the simpsons or even more married with children br br if i should point a finger on what is totally wrong with this it probably is it's peter is not really a bright character but neither are any of the others lois should have been named lois lame because she is sort of one dimensional seth green as the kind of retarded son is the best thing about this show and that is the most stereotypical part on the show br br so what more can i say there isn't exactly anything wrong with this show but in the long run you have to admit that it takes a lot of work to do what the simpsons has done for almost two decades,negative +the premise of the film was very promising sort of a gay dynamite type of film and to be fair there were some funny moments and funny lines but it really wasn't very good overall the script and dialog felt like a local sketch production full of clichés and scenes that were predictable br br however there was enough that was amusing that i stuck around to see how it finished since there were hints that something special happens at the end but it seems that either the film ran out of money or the writer ran out of ideas because the ending is extremely abrupt almost skipping directly from what looked to be the key conflict in the film to the final credits br br overall it was very disappointing but not completely unwatchable,negative +i had never seen this movie before it aired on a local cable sci fi network it reminded me of the irwin allen tv series of the late 60's time tunnel etc excellent effects they beat star trek 5 done 20 years later but then that wasn't very hard to accomplish br br i found the script very intriguing and mature for this type of production they would have needed a few touch ups to tie some loose ends on the characters' level but for a kid movie its surprisingly interesting especially the the glimpse at futuristic euro politics surprisingly similar to today's european union br br the plot is indeed reminiscent of twilight zone in general as other users have pointed but in this case it's a compliment br br great sets by the way br br 7 10,positive +hi today i looked this film because of the medium 5 6 imdb rating i thought it would worth viewing also the comments here were quiet good but after start watching this movie i quick realize that this movie isn't anyway near a 5 6 its just boring you can describe the movie with some words also its just the standard horror movie story with all the standard horror movie scenes i don't know why people still like those films or why they vote such films better then a 1 3 in imdb just some examples br br bunch of people arriving from somewhere or going driving to anywhere they meet somehow on their journey strange people but hey maybe they are just nice so hang out with them then a very important scene for every horror movie oh my cell phone isn't working oh oh mine too is that strange but we don't need them so enjoy our ride our strange person is a strange psychopath better we all sit back and scream a while till he starts cutting parts from us or killing some of us after a while the bunch of victims get a weapon or chance to escape they never think about running away or even kill the psychopath if they got the chance they just talk about what to do until the psychopath got his weapon back with any of the handful of standard tricks they got in those films and all running back as usual screaming some more to kill oh and in the end it gets really sometimes the bad guy wins sometimes some of the victim can escape wow great movies ok if i never ever saw a movie of that kind i would say it is a movie which can be watched but if anyone ever saw any movie of its kind it should be just a boring waste of time because nearly everything in the movie you know before you even watched it because it every time runs like the standard horror movie maybe there is a windows program out there 2 0 you can just pull some buttons and get the new kind of movie,negative +oh the horror i've seen a lot of gore movies in my day but this one just makes me gag with with laughter rather than this is definitely a crazy movie and is very low budget i might add but if you're able to look past the cheap audio horrible dialogue ugly girls the obviously fake gore scenes and overall of the film then you might find some of this film to be somewhat entertaining the story is about a copy cat killer who goes on a killing spree every day of the month of the year wow how original and it's up to two detectives one of whom gave a effort at trying to make the dialogue good to stop the killer's bloody rampage the killing scenes which are done with a plastic toy knife are pretty brutal which is a good thing but very annoying due to the constant of an obviously recorded scream which is very ear as for the gore there's plenty of it but it looks very fake especially the blood dude c'mon purple blood but if you're a fan of gore videos like myself then you'll find something in this video to like i did the crap talking detective he's the best thing going for this film other than that all you're going to find is a bunch of senseless nudity which is also a good thing but too bad the girls are and a very idiotic serial killer sorry but this one sucks,negative +not good mostly because you don't give a damn about what happens to all these people some comments 1 i am tired of seeing who never talk to their never teach them anything and take a tired and annoyed look whenever the said who of course has been won over in the space of 4 seconds says something 2 fine so has a father complex and therefore is attracted to her but charles is completely different in all aspects from her father if anything henry is much closer as a sensual person 3 how could you ever believe that she would be more attracted to tom than to rhys meyer 4 hard to believe if she had been in fact raised as a deeply religious girl that she would be so about sleeping with a after knowing him for 5 minutes br br some good things about the film at least she didn't end up pregnant not knowing who the father was the whole description of life in the jewish community in london is good,negative +the director spent a lot of time making the scenes look real right down to the historical photos and all the sounds of the old west too bad the producers and writer director michael spent zero time on any of the historical facts of what the johnson county war was really about a lot of the war was over how public lands should be used for the didn't want the poor sheep on the land to compete for on this cold the entire epic makes no mention of sheep which was one of the most important reasons for the war br br the worst scene is the battle between the and the hired killers the are shown the like a bunch of indians would do in much earlier hollywood movies the true fact is that johnson county sheriff william red with a of 200 to 300 men the and trapped them in a at the ranch i doubt any women took part in the siege br br ellen ella also known as cattle kate watson and her second husband james were by a lynch mob about three years before the johnson county invasion ella was never a prostitute this was a spread by the stock association in order to her the fact that the plot makes her out to be a only serves the interests of the br br i object to the use of names of real people in a plot that is so obviously fiction there is no fact in the events time lines or backgrounds of the characters why michael would use real names of people who were loosely connected with the johnson county war and events leading up to it is beyond me br br the movie could have been much more interesting if it had on the political of the federal government in a state affairs and what happened after the were saved by the some effort was made to the who were responsible by the johnson county attorney but since johnson county could not afford the court costs and the of w backed the the charges were eventually dropped br br overall i think the movie was just an excuse to show isabelle naked for much of the three and 3 4 hours of running time on the dvd version,negative +frankly i did not think there was anything humorous about this movie it was really lame and poorly done with no plot whatsoever surprisingly it got some chuckles from me at the beginning with the malcolm x and that was about it seriously soul plane made even the worst movies such as look like a emmy winner this movie is really not worth seeing unless of course you were blind like johnny who played the blind man in the movie another sad character i at majority of the jokes and ruining tom arnold and d l by casting them in this movie this movie could be in just one sentence wins 100 000 000 and creates his own sex drugs homosexuality more sex drugs did i mention sex if i could i would rate this movie in the negative however the beginning was amusing which brings this movie to a 1 10 doing the t bag,negative +among the many here for this production there was one individual whose comments asked if he she were the only one who wasn't that enthralled by it i e giving this film 3 stars however the comment went on to indicate an overall liking of the story and other production of same well this person isn't the only one who didn't like this production include me but there i part company even with him her if you put a gun to my head and asked me to make a choice between your shooting me or watching this flick again i'd watch it certainly but i'd probably spend 10 seconds thinking about it i'd much prefer being locked into or having to watch paint dry on a wall though further i wouldn't want to see this story again anytime anywhere or in any alternative presentation sometimes you feel like comedian george pair of brown shoes when the rest of the world is a and this is one of those for me i liked angela lansbury in a favorite movie of mine long hot summer and while not a huge fan of the show enjoyed murder she wrote but here i not only didn't care for the story or other aspects but i found singing and everything else about her over the top performance perhaps the most annoying presence in any movie or presentation in any other media i've ever experienced it was like an of audrey equally over the top cockney at rex harrison in the earlier portions of my fair lady but that was incident to the plot presented for light comedic effect and mercifully brief this was anything but brief and to me seemed as if it had gone on for about 10 hours explanation of at work if i hadn't been with friends with the necessity to remain my viewing would have been brief i laughed though at the seinfeld episode where everyone off because she tells them how much she disliked the english patient my friends somewhat regarded me the same way when i interrupted their over this movie give me some dragging over a board anytime instead,negative +i've seen some bad things in my time a half dead cow trying to get out of high mud a head on between two cars a thousand on a kitchen floor human beings living like animals br br but never in my life have i seen anything as bad as the cat in the hat br br this film is worse than worse than hitler worse than the worse than people who put in br br it is the most disturbing film of all time easy br br i used to think it was a joke some elaborate joke and that mike myers was maybe a high cocaine drug who lost a bet or something br br i,negative +we'll never see this movie broadcast by hbo in the near future if at all if anyone somehow comes across it in a video store just grab it before someone else does because i doubt if it ever will be re released again br br an unbelievable and movie about the first attack on the world trade center on 26 1993 and how the government who's job it is to identify and stop terrorists from doing harm and damage to american citizens and american property completely fell down on the job and allowed it to happen br br bone chilling since we all know now that the terrorists who were at the end of the movie weren't going to be the end of our nightmare that on september 11 2001 br br the film brought out everything that went wrong back in 1992 that allowed that first tragedy at the to happen still it took another eight years to realize that we should have learned from that first attack to be more and ready to prevent the second and far more devastating assault on the world trade center to happen i found this movie harder to watch after the events of 9 11 then the video of the attacks of 9 11 themselves br br all i can say about this film is don't watch it alone the very ending itself is so powerful as well as that it would leave you in a state of shock in knowing what we know today and possibly in need to have someone who's with you but not watching the movie to call for medical attention,positive +considering that they wanted to do a vampire movie in space i thought well it'll probably be pretty cheesy but at least interesting enough to see a different take on the whole genre i don't care what kind of movies you like even if you're the biggest vampire horror thriller or suspense fan in the world or if you've never seen a horror movie before and would expect that your first would be impressive in any way whatsoever you're wrong i don't think i've ever seen a made for tv movie or after school special this bad i've never seen a tv pilot show this bad i've never seen footage of animals sleeping or that's as bad as this this is by far the single biggest waste of hours you could otherwise spend the importance of dish and their effect on your life i would far rather be trapped in a bathroom for weeks with nothing to but my own and than watch even a single clip of this movie again watching this made me wish for the that the characters fell to instead of dealing with knowing that i paid money to watch it it was however like a train wreck so bad you just couldn't help but watch hoping something good might happen it didn't please for the love of god if you or your friends even if using while doing so even consider watching this movie choose instead to have a contest to see who can shoot a rocket it will bring you far greater enjoyment and entertainment,negative +a man is a hotel with a partner he finds out the hotel is over things just get worse this film has a huge of scenes they must have been put together in sleep it jumps around from place to place it does not stay focused on anything for very long the ending starts on christmas morning with a hotel fire it then cuts to a night scene of that fire and then cuts back to day time the dvd sound track is horrible it takes a fair plot and turns into the worst film i have scene in a long time,negative +easily one of my three or four favorite films definitely one for the desert island there is nothing about this film rather it warm and the audience is invited to a party and like any good party the joy comes in the interaction of the guests and what you learn as you progress from one to the next with apologies to the film's title up a number of ideas that keep audiences away the film is not horrifying it is not depressing it is a beautiful look into a time that has past within which people are growing up and others are down some are frustrated and others are and all around ever present throughout the evening are the people and the parts of people that have been laid to rest the words these exquisite actors are given to speak are perfection and set to the music of the irish are an feast particularly to us flat toned americans about the lack of brilliance i referred to above i take it back there is no other word to describe the final scene between huston and it speaks quiet volumes about … well everything some lovely snowy evening rent this film and just let it happen before you no no car chases no dinosaurs – just film at its most sublime,positive +hit and run is a shattering story starring the always wonderful margaret colin as a society lady who has it all until she hits a child with her car and leaves the scene hence the title the tragedy is that she goes to call for help and returns but is frightened away by angry by who think the abandoned the scene this was made in the days when not everyone had a cell phone or there wouldn't be a story br br guilt and anguish are and cause her to act so strangely that a detective gets onto her right away her lies sink her deeper and deeper into a self loathing hole causing her to make a bad situation worse br br this is a very thought provoking story and one can't help but to feel this pain wishing throughout that she would simply come clean br br as a tv movie thanks to colin and a strong script this is a well above average tv movie,positive +i caught this movie the other night on one of the movie channels and i haven't laughed that hard in a long time this movie was so funny i went out and bought the very next day i love this type of comedy it just seemed so real in the way the actors react to the different situations here i was i had never even heard of it and just started watching because of the title seeing other people the title caused me to give it a shot and i'm glad i did i laughed so hard that it hurt now it's part of my collection i definitely recommend it to all those that enjoy smart ass type of comedy i will be watching this one over and over,positive +although it may not be best work and is almost perfect in all its the plot is whimsical and charming and surprisingly dramatic with an impressive range of emotion much more drama than comedy contrary to profile yes the story is whimsical but not it succeeds as believable albeit a tad forced which i will come back to all of the artistic aspects are of true cassavetes form the cinematography and camera work are and the soundtrack albeit barely there is plus i believe i noticed some to godard and such in the editing as i have in a few of other films namely the abrupt cutting of a song in one scene which are interesting br br i feel the plot is built up nicely with the first half being particularly enjoyable conversation with morgan morgan timothy carey in the diner for example is wonderfully funny and fascinating and sets the tone for the philosophical commentary made throughout the film this a tradition in films is what made the film for me amusing and profound monologues instantly eliminate the first impressions one may have of him as a hippie though his character is curiously similar to that of his in faces 1968 this me however on second viewing into the opinion that it stands up against best work i gained an affection for this film that i lacked on first viewing br br there are sadly several aspects that make this film i find the plot to be as i said before it builds up nicely but it a bit here and there particularly towards the end because of the spontaneous style in which cassavetes worked and particularly the freedom with which he allowed his actors to the quality of his product can easily go either way in this case it's inconsistent i that most of this film was improvised and most of it beautifully but one or two scenes unfortunately just don't work in particular the scene after seymour fights with work associate outside her house during what is intended to be the most intense scene of the film cassavetes allowed his actors to run free with the dialogue some was planned beforehand this i believe was a mistake one gets the impression doesn't quite know what to do as he repeatedly in his speech often not making sense and overacts all of this the scene and the character development i understand seymour is intended to be a bit of a fool but attempts here are why does he cut his off these flaws are resulting from a lack of direction on cassavetes part a lack of understanding and on part a lack of rehearsal and etc evidently cassavetes didn't learn from his mistakes as he allowed this same thing to happen in his next film a woman under the influence 1974 the committing scene and ending br br the flaws i mention are not minor but they do not ruin the film they simply make some scenes cringe worthy and unrealistic spoiling the flow of the film and its potential however i am very very fond of cassavetes and all of his actors particularly in spite of the faults i mentioned this is a very enjoyable film although it proves the of style,positive +after the of it was never that and would be able to create anything half as good as yet i think that man to man in its own right is as good a show on the good episodes as i cant argue that 2 of the episodes really that good but the other 4 certainly make up for it if i had to pick 2 great episodes id go for driver steve and the great to already have a bit of understanding of the programme is a real plus as dean makes many inside jokes but even if you seen much dean id recommend this as some of the he into are genius ie his argument with over their name all in all a great show which just misses full marks because of the couple of less funny episodes,positive +i thought puppets making phone calls was pretty low but i don't believe that carlos show even qualifies as comedy his main objective is to make the audience incredibly uncomfortable while using the word as many times as he possible can i have never felt compelled to write a review the awfulness of anything on imdb before but i really do hope this show is never or br br is trying to be the next dave and perhaps he was only hired by the network because they hoped he would fill those shoes it is obvious right down to the rip of intro blues guys vs band however has absolutely no attitude and does not delve into popular views of the hispanic culture enough to come up with a creative poke at it each time instead he sticks to a small number of hardly shocking for his fellow and makes jokes about every once in a while he'll take advantage of the slight darkness of his skin to make fun of someone else like middle eastern cultures these jokes mainly consist of every joke or stereotype made against the culture and perhaps some incredibly old topics such as 9 11 in a watered down stand up style while he laughs at himself to cover up the audience's style i think he's too afraid of really anyone so it just makes the viewer feel awkward he also beats jokes to death if you've ever seen why the f is this news you'll know what i'm talking about it's funny at first but he just on and on and becomes captain obvious at some point br br it's a that is purely painful to watch,negative +it begins with a couple of disgusting sex comedy gags but soon it reveals its true colors it wants to be a death wish clone i say wants to because the script gets so increasingly laughable by the minute that it ends up looking like an death wish spoof from a love scene in a room inexplicably filled with to heroes who dress up as and wave their machine guns because they don't want to attract attention to themselves to bad guys who drive around the city in a black van long after it has been recognized as their vehicle this film has too many ludicrous points to fit in a list the other major problem is that you can't tell most of the characters apart of course you know who and and even james van are but all the other roles could have been played by different actors in various scenes and you wouldn't know the difference 1 2,negative +for many and many years have visited japan for learning martial arts instead of any knowledge on it have been told only could achieve the performance required to show some techniques in a public performance such as a movie br br this one special movie made by sho not only shows all of those techniques and skills but also teaches many and many lessons on how to achieve them and one can that by seeing a performing fantastic and unforgettable acting skills in br br i strongly recommend watching this movie more than because three times is not enough to seek out hints and given so easily by sho to those who really seek knowledge itself the,positive +i remember all the hype around this movie when was killed being a fan of ms novels my first thought was how can they do queen of the damned without doing vampire first br br having finally seen the movie now i can see how they did it if you have read these books imagine taking out the gory parts from vampire marcus and into one character and everything to do with beginning the wolf hunt his playing the theatre of the vampires and also louis and then in the last 15 minutes in queen of the damned br br what we loose is a very important piece of character his inner agony of having to kill to live the fact that he carefully tries to killers as his victims and his love hate relationship with louis and all the other vampires br br also important to the story is that we loose the story of the twins which is the of ms vampires and while i am sure the was to intense for showing on the screen they could have done something closer and showed us more of ancient egypt br br even worse we have this love interest thrown in between jessie and the vampire chronicles is basically an american story for those that do not know is another form of japanese porn comics but in it is about gay male relationships told by a female while i am sure many men object to the of the characters in this movie they went to the far extreme the opposite way for instead of killers he goes after young female br br and the other flaws in logic and storyline are vast at the beginning emerges from a century long sleep then later on asks how he made it through the 1950's in red has no idea who elvis is and says he slept through that period makes you wonder how knows about 50's fashion and music since he slept through the same time period himself and nothing is ever even mentioned about louis or i think that is a huge shame is like seeing snow white and the 3 br br overall the movie i thought was really bad about the only good thing about it was the soundtrack most of the acting was poor the accents drove me up the wall and all of the really in depth parts of the book were removed leaving us only with a hollow shell kind of like after he was sucked dry br br if you want to see a good modern vampire movie get lost boys the original interview with a vampire or even some old episodes of dark shadows let this one rest in piece with a stake through the heart of around the neck and a of holy water in the mouth br br in ending remember that before was killed this was intended to go straight to video no theatrical release was planned it is obvious now why this was it is only sad that somebody as talented as she will be remembered for this dog of a movie instead of something where she really might have br br i rate this a 2 on a scale of 1 10,negative +this movie seems as if someone had a cute idea for a movie thought of two or three funny possibilities hired a good cast then turned the whole thing over to a really bad screenwriter and even worse director the director filmed a screwball romantic comedy as if it were a dark artsy film weird camera angles blue shots lingering close up looks at steve was good as always ben affleck was charming sweet almost shy he was perfect for a romantic comedy sandra along with a character who was supposed to be zany but whose consisted of things like kissing a husband she hated her child going on carnival rides offering to strip for money and a ride with a fellow passenger the script had very few funny lines there was no physical comedy it was boring it introduced potentially funny situations then cut them off before they could develop to top it all off the twist at the end was a slap in the face to anyone expecting a fun romantic comedy if you saw the trailer for the movie and liked it as i did my advice is don't go to the movie it will only spoil a nice trailer,negative +masterpiece and a movie that captures the swedish soul it also served as a great inspiration for bergman the between and with in the leading role as from 1957 is not a coincidence don't miss it for the world,positive +if you are very sensitive when it comes to extreme racial stereotypes this cartoon is not for you but if you are strongly interested in seeing a rare piece of wartime animation come on in br br in this cartoon is the and discovers what looks like a japanese fishing boat the two japanese trick into thinking that they want a peace signed but looks can be the fishing boat turns out to be a japanese navy ship what follows is considered today to be propaganda br br be the of the japanese in the film are done in a mean spirited fashion keep in mind though that there was a war going on at the time but i strongly recommend this cartoon to those who are interested in the wwii era,positive +this is a great film with an amazing cast glover is at his his guitar solo is amazing also watch out for a cameo by william truly a cult classic this is on my top ten list don't miss this twisted film,positive +just to correct something in a previous review here i don't believe this film is only for people who know london it's a case of a very specific situation being used to make universal comments jack says in an introduction to the published script that it was meant to be about characters who by going though this knowledge test gain some measure of self knowledge br br i think it's one of the most perfectly written dramas i've seen technically it's at conveying quite complex details but it's also in how it involves you at the start you know no more about this london knowledge test than the main characters but you get up right along with them until it's important to you you become tremendously proud of those characters who succeed and you are crushed for those who don't especially one whose downfall without giving anything anyway will make your hands fly to your face br br also just as a point of fact character mr burgess is called the vampire not dracula you don't need to know this i'm not saying it's crucial but it's a measure of the drama once you've seen this you will want everyone to and you will about its every detail br br i hope you get to see it br br william,positive +quick summary of the book boy billy about 12 years old is main trouble maker and if he gets kicked out of one more school he'll be sent off to school his boy's school in switzerland or somewhere like it gets taken over by arab terrorists why i'm not really sure billy has no friends and likes to use his to hack into his he with the help of two teachers the plans and save the entire school the book wasn't bad but was cliché br br now about the movie they switched arab terrorists to cuban terrorists and make billy about 17 and the leader of his group of friends they like to get into trouble but normal teenage stuff this movie was believable maybe not realistic but the characters are real you can watch billy joey and the rest of the guys and see real kids acting out the way they did or at least wanting to br br great action scenes not everything goes as planned for either side the terrorists was messy and good guys did get hurt i won't say who but it is heart wrenching i know i use that word a lot sean is excellent as a teenager he usually played the dopey best friend this movie proved once again that he could play the leading man kid whatever the only performance that may have his was who played the only son of a new jersey mafia man he hated his father and everything he stood for a far cry from wesley usually this genre of film is one i watch for the soul purpose of making fun but not toy soldiers the story line flows the dialogue is usually believable i can't think of a single moment where i found myself shouting at the tv oh that would so not happen great movie that should be in everyone's collection,positive +got the chance to see this at a friend's house today and was impressed with what it achieved on such a small budget not that this ever bothered me anyway since i love low budget sci fi like dr who 7 and dark star hell even wasn't a big budget affair so whilst money helps it takes more than throwing cash at things to make them good br br the story is straightforward at first with a group of paid to a prisoner through space their ship is attacked and they are forced to land on the nearest planet they then discover the prisoner has made it too he's a stone cold nut case and that's only the start of their problems br br the effects except for the are and add to the film without overwhelming it computer effects look a bit dodgy at times but serve their purpose well and add to the story a futuristic feel to the proceedings films like i robot could have from this approach instead of being largely style over substance and special effects for a plot like all too many of hollywood's offerings br br whilst none of the actors get oscar material it's tightly scripted and shot and at an hour and ten minutes doesn't its welcome the characters don't get fleshed out much but then they didn't in predator either which it resembles in feel big man mike mitchell is a good stand in for arnie and is a good combination of brains and br br some people may be annoyed at the lack of explanation towards the end but i like it unlike a lot of films and shows which leave things unexplained it is not so obscure that you can't get a handle on it at all and i'd like to see a sequel where the nature of the aliens is explored further br br a cracking little film from an team done on the cheap but a fun way to pass an hour if this is what they can do on a i'd like to see what they would do with a bit more cash and hope the film industry and the talentless critics don't knock all the creativity out of them first br br recommended,positive +the two new movies has a kind of humor which is both intelligent and down at the same time which i find extremely amusing it really reminds me of the classic pink movies with an almost as good leading man as peter sellers in jean and unlike steve martin completely ruining is quite brilliant br br the comments regarding the being anti are obviously a case of a complete lack of humor and understanding br br whether you will enjoy or hate this movie really comes down to what kind of humor you have i can't wait for the sequel,positive +for me a ten star film is one that never dies in my memory and yet can be watched over and over again with the same pleasure as the first time this could be a technically flawed movie the pleasure has nothing to do with spit and polish my personal top ten is to say the least john carpenter's the thing is one of very few films to fit this br br i've been a science fiction fan since i was a child in the sixties and i read the john w campbell short story on which the film is based who goes there before i saw the original black and white howard film as with a lot of people that viewing was on the tv when i should have been in bed that movie as with so many that you see as a child in such circumstances seemed near perfection the suspense the inexplicable nature of the alien the photography it all just seemed to work i watched it many times in the years after and still do when it is shown on tv because of this i avoided the carpenter version for years seeing remakes of one's favourite film is i thought always a mistake when i did eventually watch it sometime in 1988 9 again on tv because there was nothing else on i realised that i need to change always a mistake to usually a mistake carpenter had produced something different from the original film closer to the original story and truly wonderful from the opening scene of the helicopter and through the disturbing scene in the dog pound to that ending sorry no spoilers here i was hooked the sound track alone lives with me all i have to hear is a close similarity to that bass over drum beat and i'm in the final scene again br br until seeing the thing i had carpenter down as just another gore monkey based only on comments and reviews in mainstream press since seeing the thing i think i have seen most of his movies i haven't gone out of my to do so but if one comes up just seeing his name as director is enough to make up my mind to watch it he is thoughtful and knows how to build a film up so that it reaches a point at which something will stick in the memory br br if you haven't seen the thing and you enjoy science fiction do yourself a favour sit down in a dark room wrap up warm and prepare to have your memory enhanced,positive +and my reasons for which are simple there are so many great films presented and discussed here most of them by their own directors and stars so many clips of infamous moments in 70's movie history and in fact a number of films i have yet to see that it wouldn't be fair to grade this work by this logic i shouldn't have given to other movie documentaries like martin personal journey through american movies and my voyage to italy but while those films were on the basis of one man's view of cinema through most of the way richard and the late ted a decade under the influence lets the films and the creators speak entirely for themselves br br what makes worth at least one watch for film buffs or just anyone who likes the films of the late 60's 70's in america are the levels that it goes to that in the uncut version three hours not the theatrical version which i have no comment on plenty of ground is covered interviews include the likes of scorsese robert altman sidney lumet julie christie jon voight francis ford coppola paul pam bruce dern peter bogdanovich roger corman dennis hopper robert etc and there's a constant flow of insight from start to finish the way the clips and directors actors pop up edited together in a flashy and quick style is also fascinating br br the one down comment i have on the documentary is that most of the information presented has been reported on in various books like easy riders raging and though i haven't seen the movie version of that book yet i'm sure it would have covered many of the films and directors and incidents as here in fact the book of that is one of the best i've ever read however this documentary serves as something special for film buffs and occasional movie goers of the future they can look at this and learn not only about such well known pictures as easy rider the last picture show annie hall coming home and like scarecrow panic in park the joe they shoot horses don't they they can also learn about who influenced them new waves of europe and asia who they served as influences for and how the subject matter that created controversy after controversy still serves as intriguing and material for the contemporary crowd seek this out,positive +of all the adaptations of books by i feel that this qualifies as the worst but blame it would appear that all that this film shares with the novel is the same title we have no suspense no sense of foreboding of mystery no chance to really empathize with the main characters we spend the entire duration or at least i did waiting for charlotte to shed her clothing for charlotte this appears to take a remarkably long time still a glimpse of charlotte tits really save this disastrous film has once again been kicked into the to endure the of those bitter and who would appear to blame him for all the that attempted filming of his books poor old must have into a corner and when this one came out at least bear island which also uses the name but apparently none of his novel was a little exciting the excitement here is in waiting for the final credits,negative +a good idea let down by heavy handed production br br quite a bit of the dialogue was because of the level of music background sound and this didn't help this reviewer nor did the accents pretty at times towards the end i lost the will to live trying to follow the dialogue br br this movie didn't know whether to be a farce or a black comedy and they require different approaches some of the incidents were laid on so thick that they only a some were so unbelievable even for this sort of plot that they made the story just not worth following br br the acting was in the main good although the american just came over as a clone of the back to the future mad scientist the little boy was very good br br i did watch it all the way through but god knows why i can't remember laughing once,negative +from the crash of the opening theme the man with the golden arm is classic 1950's entertainment no subtlety here frank comes home from prison with a monkey on his back and goes right back to the old neighborhood where the old still this is a tale of his dark ride with all of his emotional intact the performances are all a bit but that's part of the fun of watching darren and arnold are unforgettable and almost steal the show this and the candidate are the two greatest of the board films in my humble opinion don't miss either one of them,positive +i like dark humor and non pc stuff but not if it is with no purpose but to elevate yourself bashing a group of people without any trace of self irony is crap br br there are people who could make concentration camp jokes funny but whoever made this film unfortunately failed even in the very easy task of making fun about in germany it is a very easy task but if your are the germany equivalent of an redneck from a village where virginity is often lost to farm animals you certainly will fail at this and also at life i have heard and seen so many funny stuff about in germany but this movie this piece of crap being listed here is an insult to the next worst movie sucks like the the makers of this movie met some years ago,negative +like most everyone who views this movie i did it for the stars michael madsen and dennis hopper the two are extremely underrated and sadly because of that have to a lot of crap in this film hopper plays a guy who accidentally kills a and is offered help from the mysterious madsen br br the film actually isn't as terrible as it could have been i've seen both in much worse both and working together horrible film the direction was pretty poor and the script needed a few re writes but both give the best performance possible with the material offered also the ending is pretty strong so you can tell the story had potential but when a glowing review of a film is it could have been much worse it doesn't say much for the film itself br br all in all this is one that can easily be if neither of these actors draw you in but if you're a fan of either or both give it a watch they both give strong performances that the obvious flaws of the film trust me there are much worse out there,negative +i just watched k laurel and last movie together and known here in the states as on internet archive expecting to see some extra footage since the version had a running time of 2 hours and 21 minutes turns out that it's basically the same version i previously watched on the bargain basement vhs tape from home video that ran an hour and 23 minutes with the exception of no product placement of the juice label being inserted when a bottle was shown with the rest of the running time devoted to dark blank space while stan does look like he might be dying anytime soon he still performs fine physical comedy with ollie during much of the first 45 minutes or so then the plot of taking a with a and a man with no country aboard not to mention a charming female french singer also coming to inhabit an island they all end up on takes over with eventual complications that pretty much the comedy down and never really despite the familiar ending of ollie saying for the last time to stan here's another nice mess you've gotten me into before stan cries before the fade out in other words if you're a die hard laurel and hardy fan this movie is recommended for you to see at least once anyone else wanting to get familiar with this classic comedy team should seek their earlier work they did for hal roach from the up through 1940 when they completed their final roach film at sea come to think of it even some of the l h fox flicks have yet to see the two they made for m g m from the are better than this one update 8 just watched some missing scenes that appeared in the italian version on youtube sings in one and has a conversation with the captain in another that wife pulls a gun on in one more explains why he left his country with a flashback scene stan is dubbed in high pitch here,negative +this has got to be one of the most magnificent things i've ever seen on film i don't know if it's as serious as it seems to try to be but that hardly matters this film is extreme absolutely wild and surreal the and the marketing only make it more so because you know that ever so often some mother has to her kid to accept our reality after he this out from the video store expecting something completely different look at the for one thing and where else in america can you see a ten year old kid swear as much as this one does and then get his eye ripped out by the rival of pulp and that food inspector scene is the best the amount of well known to vaguely recognized actors in this film is one of the best things about it soon much sooner than you realize you too will find yourself saying is that meat is that drew barrymore is that the doctor from star trek voyager is that flea is that the owner from twin peaks with car and isn't this guy from the new rob zombie movie he looks an awful lot like shrek i think my favorite scene is at the very end with phil in a full body cast i mean please why aren't more movies like this shown in this director hardly has anything else to his name higher than return to lot but he displays true stumbling man child genius in this creation if you're an intellectual looking for something to p s away your evening on i highly suggest this film for satisfaction this movie's plot is all too ridiculous but imagine it taken out of context boy arm wrestling an over aggressive meat who seems hell bent on taking out his anger at not being accepted into guns n looks over his shoulder and sees the doctor from voyager enter the bar can you imagine what any half channel active through the last six years would think of seeing that now imagine if you actually cared about meat or voyager to begin with or imagine if you're a flea fan rocky horror picture show fans this film contains notable music mind you but its soundtrack is more than mad max 3 what does that for you this is the retarded cousin sister mother puppy of the rocky horror picture show how about when flies back onto his arm in an act of cable access special effects quality when i saw this film it was on the suggestion of my cousin who had watched half of it in a fit of half aware childhood in the early half of the nineties and who has since been haunted by vague memories of it i myself had not slept in three days it made me laugh of course it's also an anxiety movie the music doesn't encourage the suspense but it eventually gets to the point where it's been fully established that the american censorship has obviously missed this film entirely and absolutely anything can happen in it and probably will any time gus turns a corner or the view so much as changes camera angles i found myself over the possibility of those cards flying out his window at any second watch this movie awesome,positive +i like the show but come on writers get some action in it quit dragging it on and on you have a great concept and it could be a whole lot more miles is great and performs as a kid that age should act in the situation he finds himself in hey get creative with the creatures they may have or other out powers the kid actors in the series are very good and convincing the parents of miles do appear to be a little too out of sense as to what is going on but develop this come on you have a great seed here and there can be a whole new twist to next season with a lot of new characters and creatures and all kinds of neat sci fi stuff if they could make a series on a witch then you should be able to make one on these creatures and kids,positive +a few minutes in not credible what idiot wrote this br br but what's going on who's the bad guy then there's that rebecca de time passes br br the end br br not credible what idiot actually watched the whole thing,negative +in addition to the fact that this is just an made film imagine giving a camcorder to the average high school drama club the people who think that there is anything real about this legend need to grow up this is the 21st century guess what ghosts don't exist most people learn that from their mother when they're about 5 years old you guys seriously need to grow up br br the fact that a fraud was nearly 2 centuries ago does not make it any less a fraud the fact that a large number of from believe it doesn't do it either go to college or at least finish high school,negative +awful dreadful terrible the actors are bad the music is ridiculous and the filming pathetic i rented the dvd and had to force myself to watch it until the end br br my advice read the book it is much better and you won't have to put up with all these silly images and ridiculous dreams catherine has br br i think i have never watched such a bad movie,negative +you get this stupid excuse of a child's play rip off man what were they thinking first they mess with a horror movie then they make crap like this tale well to be honest i've seen this as a kid and it scared me a bit a lot simply because i was under aged with the that wouldn't do that but i've grown and come to think of this as child's play rip a fairy tale bashing nonsense and a lame tales from the crypt episode or trying to be one at least with a lame ending that was stupid and it had many plot holes and i still can't understand how it came to life was it the work of an evil then what after a few evil deeds he becomes a real boy who becomes america's most wanted personally i think the concept of an evil sounds better he builds an army of wooden killers and starts a crime wave funny but this is awful awful awful awful awful awful like a shoe and awful it sucked it sucked if you want killer puppets settle for the killer doll specifically child's play instead no strings attached or if you want a fairy tale figure turned upside down watch or if you want watch the animated version or live version with jonathan taylor thomas and martin instead 10 10 negative 10,negative +this movie was like a gathering of people that had been in other movies and they decided to make a really bad movie it had a dude from detroit rock city a girl from the show that that the chick and bought that was in boys and there was more ok that doesn't make a bad movie in itself that was just something i noticed the whole thing with the hooker and the french girl having the same name was dumb and the thing with people writing these notes and if you think they are going to get mixed up shocking enough you called it and the purse thing that was just plain stupid it was so bad that i watched the movie in two parts and still only made it to the 50 minute mark if you are watching this and expect van wilder or a movie like that don't,negative +i was ready for a tiger style movie and all i got was the worst movie i've seen in years it was almost as bad as baron von dead script dead acting dead everything br br granted there was some good fight scenes but the positive side ends there if this movie arrives in your house run to a phone and and say please help there is a movie in my house meant to force people to commit suicide,negative +dear mr or i may hold responsible for mr not meeting his fate of being eaten alive by br br i do not know you and so cannot comment on your character for all i know you give to and help little old ladies cross the street still i must insist for the common good that you never write another screenplay as long as you live put down the pen step away from the br br if you refuse to the of wounded brains i have watched a movie or two in my life and i believe you will find my helpful br br 1 do not include love scenes in which overwrought teenage boys name the body parts of their girlfriends after us states if you must pen such a scene please do not name the breasts new york and new jersey it causes unnecessary as to which cities the also it is almost stupid and annoying br br 2 do not rely solely on john hughes movies in order to class br br 3 do not the audience over the head with exhausted clichés yes yes and sam stand out in the rain and it them of their cares we get it yes the continue to bloom in dead mother's even though every other plant has begun to it is a symbol of their love it is also very painful when applied via blunt force trauma to the backs of our heads for the love of god mr we get it we all get it all across the land people the hard of hearing unborn babies we all get it br br 4 do not require the actors to perform sequences ever no never br br 5 did i mention that you should ease up on the trite symbolism because the audience can draw the parallel between the of the restaurant and the building of the relationship between and sam without any help truly we get it br br 6 go through your script and out the following lines and any lines resembling them i don't know what we are anymore i don't want to lose you he's just like the rest of them and its daddy you don't even know him br br 7 yes yes she's in heaven running around in a field we get it br br 8 and in other news we get it br br i have seen dozens of terrible movies in my life i never expected to suffer for your art and i would have just left the theater but an elephant with the words doomed love painted on its side fell from the sky and me to my seat br br in closing your writing bites you owe me ten dollars and i hate you,negative +the last film that provided a vivid and disturbing look at what insanity is probably like was in dreams in that movie you didn't see insanity you were there now the cell comes along with an updated and much more disturbing portrayal of the inside of the mind of a psychotic killer the opening scene takes you into the seemingly innocent mind of a little boy and the things that catherine jennifer lopez sees are first fascinating and then terrifying the things that she later sees in the mind of vincent vincent are amazingly imaginative and fascinating most of this stuff has never been seen in film before br br the story of the cell is not exactly something that is really groundbreaking in fact it is basically the same as the story in the silence of the you have a killer in custody and these people have to enter his mind to find a female victim who is currently in danger of losing her life the only real difference between the foundation of the plots is that in the silence of the you have to enter the mind of a killer to find a different killer as well as his current victim while in the cell you have to enter the mind of a killer to find his own victim however despite the unfortunately weak story the cell completely the genre of the psychological thriller none that have ever been made even come close to it br br also the film had good direction and was extremely well acted vince vaughn delivers another of his excellent performances he was even good as norman bates in the pathetic 1998 re make of psycho and even jennifer lopez puts forth the second good effort of her career the other being the great out of sight nothing can be said of the cinematography in the cell to give it sufficient credit it was imaginative and done and is by anything ever seen in cinematic history the cell is an incredibly well made film and it deserves to be recognized,positive +a plot that is dumb beyond belief however that said it must be admitted the lead actors go at their roles as though it were shakespeare and that is as it should be it isn't their fault the writer seems to be in a coma br br hats off to what is really a very cunning performance by joanna she proves that just because it isn't on the page doesn't mean a role can't be and into and she does so with gusto good for her br br to christine who is called upon to be little more than confused and but goes way beyond what is asked of her by the script br br and to grant show as well a graduate of daytime and prime time hope place he is always versatile and underrated his primary seems to be his impossible to ignore good looks he is a well grounded actor capable of much more than he is generally given the opportunity to do br br the rest of the cast is basically window dressing br br the direction is adequate and the script as i to is fairly idiotic br br watch this one to enjoy three good actors in the leads taking delight in performing some much needed scenery chewing it's fun,negative +if you think it's beautiful to be obsessive about who you are in love with then i can imagine giving it a good rating but i cannot imagine that this theme of and having little respect for others such as the way paulie treats the teachers who try to help her is anything you would want to teach your children yes it's also bad the way victoria treated paulie but guess what that's life isn't it a more important lesson to learn how to get past these and make the best of your life or is falling off the roof a better lesson to teach our children secondly when father didn't show up for the dinner and paulie helped mary release her anger that mary even said she wished he were dead somehow i don't think this is a good message either that you deal with your through anger,negative +this movie over does it on the cgi i mean sci fi really they over did it the original is better it does not use cgi like the sequel in this movie its the simple people running from mutated killer bats and really bats in afghanistan the plot involves u s army soldiers finding a terrorist and being attack by bats and dying but the reason i gave this movie 3 stars is because the way the camera in on the soldiers the acting is bad and this doesn't even look like a horror movie in all this movie is a fairly good tv movie for sci fi channel but if like sci movies you'll like this movie because you just like channel oh and if you fall asleep during the movie don't be surprised oh sorry i think i give it 2 stars instead,negative +spoilers ahead i have a saying kill insects and kill morons the ghost in this movie kills morons several of the people who get killed in this movie are actually asking to get killed by running into abandoned houses going after ghosts etc br br on a strictly cinematic aspect this movie sucks real bad the three story lines are shown to be parallel and suddenly we learn they are separated by at least a few days it's a cheap shot br br also the thrills are so cheap they are laughable even nightmare on elm street didn't sink so low as to show someone being attacked by his own it's pathetic br br save your money stay home and you won't have a grudge against the filmmakers,negative +these guys are excellent and anything they put out to the public is first class the of this band is amazing and we should all be very thankful we live in a world where rush exists future generations will never be able to see such live and in person get this dvd and you will enjoy it i was recently able to see these incredible musicians play in and was blown away i have not missed a show since power windows and i have to say that they are better than ever everyone should embrace these guys and teach others what real is there will never be such a tight and well put together trio again in our lifetime lets just hope and pray that they do not anytime soon,positive +it's too kind to call this a account of the barker gang they got the names right but that's about it br br russell is still hot i'll grant you that but this is not the real ma barker who basically took care of the boys by cooking and when they moved around the country not by planning or in the crimes i think it would have been far more interesting to present the real story of a middle aged woman caught up in the criminal activities of her children and their br br i also have to agree with those reviewers who found the shoot out scenes to be totally unbelievable the barker victims were a combination of the innocent and of the law agents who pursued them but they definitely did not down half a dozen fbi agents every time they were on the other hand as several recent books have related the fbi of that era the idea of agents coming only from legal or backgrounds to the extent that many agents had very little law or experience they were not the well trained agents that we picture today br br but the worst sin of all is that the movie is basically a bore nobody changes nobody grows we know the end of the road is ahead we just don't know which shoot out it will be br br only for die hard russell fans,negative +the movie is really about choices in the state of affairs as seen in fire where good women had to be and do what was correct in the eyes of tradition there seemed few for and however granted that it was not their only option what is life without desire questions yes it's true that life provides us with a number of but how many we can take depends on a number of factors when your world is confined to a small indian household being a daughter in law to a silent but still powerful a wife of 13 years to a man who has taken a of due to your not being able to have a child a man who only wants you lying next to him to prove his strength in his desires i felt the ladies had little choice but to find in each other's company i guess the fact that so many women ms work was because it provided them with an option to think for themselves an option to do what was perhaps the lesbian scenes i felt was merely to put that point across every scene in the movie from the first at the to the last at the is in my mind how frustrating to be a prisoner of your feelings and desires to feel that you had to the human touch to be a wife just because it is expected of you to have to any desire you might have and to for the human touch what then is the meaning of our existence one wonders in the scene where is crying alone in the room and comes in to comfort her their lips accidentally brush against each others and it a feeling in them something they have both been of br br bravo to ms in her vision so clearly i especially like the flashbacks to the young trying to for the ocean it is a metaphor for freedom freedom to choose freedom to transport ourselves to places we would normally be unable to reach in those scenes it is gently told to us that her sense of duty has also been passed down from her mother who i assume lives within the rich indian traditions of duty in marriage the movie is beautifully filmed and enhanced by the musical score by a r since the film i have become fans of the two lead actresses and the director i look forward to more of ms future productions,positive +who in india is often compared with prominent world film makers and is regarded a genius in film making has yet again proved that he can only make the frames look visually good without offering much food for thought forget about pure cinematic pleasure that can be derived from cinema as a very old form of art br br while i would not like to claim and portray myself as someone who has seen all the beautiful movies made around the world still any thoughtful and a bit educated film goer can identify that his films do not contain innovative plots does not contain lingering effects afterward and mostly contain ridiculous ending and a lot of melodrama seen in indian movies br br overall has successfully confirmed my for his films once again br br sorry for those who on this board were claiming otherwise my suggestion to you watch some beautiful cinemas made around the globe,negative +ridiculous nauseating with terrible acting and all the most banal clichés about and italy divorce and the main actor her way through the film struggling to portray the appropriate level of smug self self pity the worthless character and script call for i'm sure the book was bad but it can't have been this bad the camera is with a vomit yellow perhaps the sun wasn't enough which they forgot to remove when the scene shifts to rome and how imaginative the coast you've never seen the white of looking so yellow i mean one of the worst movies ever and therefore quite worth a look,negative +okay so maybe the acting wasn't bad but i am this review as a public service to prevent anyone else who happens upon the intriguing beginning of this from throwing away two hours of their life waiting for some plot development that will never come the chief investigator has a gut feeling who did away with the missing marine officer guy and few people other than and the seem to her so what is the point of staying with this drama beats the heck out of me i kept thinking or hoping there would be some sort of plot twist or new revelation but none was in summary i cannot think of a single reason to sit and watch this pointless tv movie based on a true story or not,negative +when you want to celebrate life and love especially for precious little daughters you have to shout it from the countryside and what gorgeous there are so many tears of joy even god joins in see this movie br br,positive +the prey has an interesting history unless you remember the ads for it in in june of 1984 you might have caught it on the movie channel back in summer 85 but little else is remembered the plot is your basic killer in the woods again but ironically this was filmed before friday the 13th the prey was actually shot sometime in 1978 according to one of the actors in an interview years later but released for about a week at some drive ins yes jim drive in showed this in june of but it has a dated look to it maybe they released it so later on to cash in on all the other terror films the market was with by 1984 now on the story it has some kind of back story a forest fire back in the 1940's leaves a lot of burned to death but one of their children survive our monster so flash forward to present day which would be 1978 we have an older middle age couple camping only to be by the monster the tag line for this picture claims its not human and its got an axe but an axe was only used in these first two killings now we have a bunch of teenagers who look like they in their mid camping we all know they are the prey and the monster knocks them of one by one for an 80 minute movie it seems longer we also have a lot of footage to fill in for the 80 mins overall for being out into an 80 's horror movie it looks way more 70's than ever hey the prey had potential to be a good horror killer in the woods movie but falls a little short it does however feature a pretty scary cool looking monster at the end and we have to wait till the last 2 minutes to see him side note the monster has gone on to star in the family movies in the 1990's,negative +dr ben james stewart and jo doris day travel to for a holiday where they meet a mysterious man named louis bernard daniel on a bus the next day this man is murdered but before he dies he tells ben a secret an assassination will take place in london the crooks kidnap the son hank christopher olsen making sure ben won't reveal their plan to anybody alfred hitchcock's the man who knew too much 1956 is a very intense thriller the acting is superb as it always is in films james stewart is marvelous doris day is a delightful person and actress and she gets to show her singing talents as well the song has an important part in the movie this movie is a movie of many classic scenes in the final scenes at the albert hall done without dialogue you can barely blink your eyes this movie is fifty years old now time hasn't its power in any way,positive +ronald colman plays a son while he is not a bad guy he is a bit and hasn't done a lot with his life other than travel the world and have a jolly good time now that his latest venture in africa has failed he's on his way home to england his rich upper class father plans on him out on his ear though thanks to winning style he is reluctantly welcomed back with open arms br br at this point there are two women in his life myrna loy and rich girl loretta young who is already engaged how will all this work out and will ronald wise up and act like a responsible adult these are the main themes of this pleasant little film br br this isn't a great movie and certainly won't change your life but it certainly is very entertaining and fun most of this is due to the always acting of ronald colman heck in the of his career in the 1930s he could have played in madness or some other dreck and still made it entertaining and likable due to his charming persona his seemingly style in this movie make it very easy to like him and it's easy to see why both loretta young and myrna loy are in love with him in the film plus the writing is very witty and make this a nice romantic comedy,positive +a really funny british comedy from the mid 1950's about a school for girls the girls are all involved in and mayhem making smoking and gambling plays in a glorious drag role as well as playing brother a female police officer goes to the school undercover to see what is going on this film is funny having great sight gags and is great just a classic comedy lots of fun and not too joan sid james stars of many carry on films play small roles but this film is about the girls it 3 sequels and a recent re make watch and enjoy where it all began,positive +i saw borderline several years ago on i've been looking for it ever since it was haunting visual sensual this movie took me somewhere like a dream and i didn't care where i will never forget the curtain blowing in the i still remember the way it made me my head i remember my facial expression when i saw it i didn't know what had happened when the movie was over but i find life is that way it didn't bother me the of the ultimate of an innocent character strikes me as sadly real i loved the faces the way the camera upon them the camera at the set with the eyes of a borderline was real to me in a way movies aren't it was exactly the lack of explanation color that made it enter my consciousness like a thief in the night i love this movie someday i will own it,positive +i saw this movie alone when i was an early teen in my hometown in india at a time when the only thing that fascinated me aside from girls were i came home after watching it with a look in my eye wanting to be that bloke in the movie that the what a movie and what a moment that was the theatre i saw it in does not exist any and has given way to a shopping mall i don't know how i'd feel about it now after so many years and do not want to spoil a childhood memory by finding this movie available on dvd or something similar and not finding it interesting anymore i have learned from previous experience that a childhood memory is often when one travels life's jaded occasionally trying to their past by way of movies only to find its innocence completely and not welcome anymore and i do not want to throw away the experiences of a memory of this movie into the wind i do not have kids so i probably am being selfish in leaving this movie in a toned area of my brain not wanting it on dvd but if you are at a age and want to in later years memories of an endearing childhood try to watch this film if you can ever it'll be really worth it,positive +i was really excited when i read the ghost would be shown on tv however i was deeply disappointed i loved the original story written by oscar and sadly nothing of that was transferred by the movie,negative +is based on the classic shakespearean work of the same name but bears little resemblance to its source material br br it as being as cerebral as its but instead is a convoluted and hackneyed exercise in tedium the original the premise that people have an evil side which would be destructive if here you just get an uninteresting mid life crisis yawn goof ball who is having everything go wrong in his personal and professional life he becomes with a supernatural power that he uses to try to control his environment in other words to get his own way br br every few minutes after something else in his pathetic life goes wrong he finds a secluded place and starts show me the magic while waving his hands around and making a serious concentration expression from the way these scenes are shot it looks like he's trying to turn bugs into other kinds of bugs turning a spider into a maybe but by this time you really don't care br br the story has him from his life with his daughter to a greek island somewhere then have a awkward relationship with some girl he meets one of the romances ever committed to film the story just down and moves at a slower and slower pace you are never given any reason to like or dislike anyone br br i'll give this a 2 because of the beautiful greek location shots and the semi optimistic conclusion although it isn't clear if the power brought this ending about or not the spirit of shakespeare's work has been captured much better in other movies one notable example is forbidden planet which gave to how the power gets out of control br br as for this its only magic is to cure insomnia,negative +this is one of the best episodes from the entire x files series creepy beyond words the tension and suspense in this episode is very well executed in its entire 45 minutes it managed to be almost as scary as an entire movie this episode joins the ranks of best episodes with such as home bad blood and for being the best in their respective season br br and growing relationship is put to the test in this episode can they really trust each other this episode also contains a tiny scene that will leave romantic viewers smiling br br bring your,positive +they do each sequel is worst you who think that 2 or 3 need a 1 please watch this sequel you'll be wondering with the first three parts then you'll give a 10 to the first 8 to the second and 5 or 6 to the other that's because 4 really gets the big 1 from me it does,negative +if we compare the movie industry with an ocean we have the to observe only the surface driven by the strong hollywood marketing force we all saw war movies like saving private ryan the thin red line apocalypse now or full metal jacket but underneath the waves grow in silence from time to time less known when you pick one and look carefully at it you wonder why this pearl lie almost unknown and why it's not already on the crown br br is such a gem why it has a bunch of multi million dollars rated actors no it have thousand of extras no it have breathtaking spectacular shiny visual effects not at all so what's so special well in one word it's pure past reality and to celluloid fifty years later the tragedy of the most bloody battle in the history is here filthy wounded soldiers russian civilians who lost everything during the invasion burning buildings explosions tanks in flames soldiers shot burned alive ground by tanks in their or shred to pieces you got all but the real horror is elsewhere people are reduced to simple without the power to change anything the soldiers we follow in film try to leave the combat zone and they fail the civilians stay in in the middle of nowhere only crying for their children killed the huge machine of war melt together humans equipment cities and ask for more victims and destruction over and over br br in all this collective insanity a group of german soldiers struggle to survive and to keep at least a minimum level of they do their duty and fight but as everyone know a battle is almost lost when people start to loose confidence and faith we see how all those people are abandoned how they plan to desert how they struggle to catch the very last plane to berlin full of wounded how some very bad injured soldiers were treated as and shot how they were forced to a small group of russian civilians including a young boy how they later discovered a place literally full up to the ceiling of food and drinks destined only for some superior officers of course one by one they drop dead the end of the movie is one of the most bitter depressing and touching ending i ever saw all on the magnificent score of the orchestra the war destroyed everything in its path br br this movie is a must see for everyone a true movie lover should have it in his her collection the strong anti war message must be a warning for all of us unfortunately the mankind never learn nor the politicians self destruction is in our and

all three are crossing each other for the gold but also the insurance company and gang are watching on waiting for their chance to br br just watching the opening sequence you'll know you're in for a spaghetti western with a tongue in cheek style and a of many references some nicely realised from other films largely the dollar trilogy of its sub genre director direction is and mostly lightweight but there's potential in many of his grand set pieces and smooth pace largely there's a lot of fist fights and plenty of stunts taking place compared with all out vicious however most of these stunts are very well done and very enjoyable and when the guns are blazing there's energy to burn the traditional story sticks close to conventional details but since there's a lot of conniving and going on the spontaneous nature makes sure you're never quite certain how it's eventually going to play out between the three this leads up to many effective suspenseful moments clever twists and plenty of the humour within the script is pretty sly worked in amongst the light and style is taut framing and de rousing music score the performances are extremely well and form a striking george and turn is solid as the ambiguous stranger gilbert brings class and intelligence to his mexican gives a performance as that holds up well o'hara doesn't get much to do but is a worthy gerard and provide able support br br a fun and worthy spaghetti parody homage that throws one ball after another and many down dirty antics,positive +you know this movie reminded me so much of so many people i know i think that's the reason why i loved this movie so much i was just on the floor laughing because this had such a serious and document feel to it but the dialog is so hilarious that you can't help but have a good time basically the movie is about these crazed dog owners who are competing in a big dog show to see who is the best of the best it seems like it should be the dogs who take this competition seriously it turns out the owners are just as insane one of the dog owners goes almost serial psycho killer on the hotel manager because she cannot find the special toy for her dog br br there is another couple that is just great and cookie this complete nerd and attractive woman that are just so lovable in the beginning of the movie describes how many boyfriends cookie had throughout the movie her lovers see her and hit on her even in front of it was just great and fun to watch looks this whole movie is just a hoot and you can't stop with the recognizable faces that keep popping up it's a great movie is just fun to watch i'd highly recommend it now i have to find a nice way of showing this to my friends who are like these couples to see the mirror image of themselves d br br 8 10,positive +here's the spoiler at the end of the movie a little piece of you dies you'll spend the rest of your life searching in vain for that missing piece but it's gone it's gone you'll wander the streets at night into your windows as they sit down for dinner friends and family will try to when exactly you turned into the walking dead you'll answer their questions and concerns with a blank stare and some about a runaway when inevitably makes the movie of the month a series of mysterious murders will take place in your city you'll wake up the next morning up on the floor of the kitchen with a faint taste of brains in your mouth then you'll crawl into the living room and onto the couch you'll stare at the wall wet yourself a little and then begin to laugh because once your dead inside jake busey in a is actually pretty damn funny,negative +i just don't understand why anytime someone does a show about one of the largest areas in the country dallas austin san antonio etc they portray the average person as someone who wears cowboy hat talks with a has zero fashion sense and drives a truck on his way to either the saloon or his next hunting trip shooting or country music concert i have never even seen a small town cop driving a police truck anywhere in texas br br the funny thing is this is not done for artistic reasons or comedy they are actually serious and i guess believe the average person is too stupid to know the difference the bad scripts and equally bad acting give that away this show makes goofy shows in the past like look like high brow entertainment at least had the talking car,negative +i rented this thinking it would be pretty good just by the cover of the movie case judge and jury started out pretty good killer chasing the man who killed his wife on a bike with a cool gun but this movie got as it went on david keith is awesome actor especially when he plays a role like this too bad the movie was a piece of crap it really wasted his talent judge and jury was well plain dumb i gave it a 3 should have gave it a 2 i gave it an extra star just because david gun was cool,negative +norris plays a chicago cop who stumbles upon a devil's apprentice who wants to well create he eventually kills the creature by get this throwing a solid gold 24 inch spike not very sharp about twenty feet hard enough to the chest unlikely so is the rest of the movie much of it consists of and his sidekick driving cars and talking nonsense the israeli or arab kid is there ostensibly to ok doesn't work makes no sense and advances the plot so called not one bit also no cops ever every get invited out of the country to be interviewed by other cops it is ridiculous as a premise the whole thing is bad unfortunately it's not so bad as to be bad or campy just plain bad but one can see how norris was trying to find his way to the successful walker texas ranger series,negative +used this documentary to push a stereotype of this documentary is biased and guided not objective the cutting techniques that jump from interview to interview may be used to take the spoken word of out of context when you watch the film the sticking idea that comes from the interviews of the is that they are pretty dumb band members and other seem to be of low intelligence and unable to explain their motives or give detailed or coherent answers or even answers at all i highly doubt that if some of those who were interviewed knew what was creating or saw the final product would allow themselves to be included in the project this film puts in a bad light by making them seem and simple minded film should not be taken as a representation of the l a punk scene if you want to see a good punk documentary watch another state of mind featuring youth and social,negative +if you like subtle psychological dramas thrillers this is a movie for you those who want to see an ordinary erotic thriller surely will not understand this movie as colin obviously did when he called it rubbish but jennifer is the real star of the movie anyway she is such a brilliant and beautiful actress along with the and turning storyline that gets more and more psychological and makes you think about yourself the wonderful directing photography and especially the music make this movie a masterpiece also the small parts are very good especially is terrific in her small scene i hope it gets released on dvd soon and a soundtrack album would be a dream coming true,positive +i would like to submit the following goof br br during the bridge scene soldiers are seen out in the river asking to be taken away and seeking to escape some of the soldiers approach captain boat and attempt to board carrying with them soldiers are not nor do they ever carry into a combat zone they have packs and but not the use of a in this scene is absurd and out of keeping additionally if you look closely you will see that the is floating on top of the water this is probably a very good indication that it is empty otherwise it would sink,positive +back in 1993 released a dull lackluster video game of one of the biggest films of all time quickly realizing their mistake they out a different version of the game claiming it would be bigger and better br br neither were both were slow boring games br br you can choose to be either dr alan grant or a both have their problems why would dr grant go around killing all those army guys just what are they doing in the game and why a be killing other weird br br obviously not learning from their first mistake really dropped the ball on the original release and the so called rampage edition one of the and i have ever played,negative +so many great actors so little worth watching but with a script that misses so much of what made the book special i don't hold it against anyone on screen though flawed the book was one of only that i truly liked especially how it captured the flavor of a deep south small town a slightly different world to a such as myself i also loved the matter of of what occurs in the book in the movie characters are given a of personality that seemed so stilted the villains and are flat and 1 dimensional but as with so much of joel work and authenticity are absent and every point must be delivered via to the so preachy stilted and superficial about so horrendous a tragedy i wish someone would do a remake and get the story a little more right,negative +apparently in the eyes of some there aren't enough horror films these days involving young people being chased across a desert by a mysterious madman in a truck i mean all we have so far is joy ride wolf creek monster man among others rest stop may very well be the worst out of those it is about a girl and her boyfriend who leave their lives behind to start over together in california along the way they stop at a so the young lady can herself but when she returns she finds that her boyfriend and his car are gone from there she learns that the is a guy driving a yellow pickup who proceeds to stalk and her as she hides in the this movie is so unoriginal that it is flat out boring the acting is annoying the gore is mild and the killer whose identity is not revealed throughout the entire movie is anything but memorable terrible terrible film,negative +this film attempts to cash in on the success of richard curtis movies particularly love actually which i loved a series of scenes following the love lives of various couples br br it's a great idea poorly executed the script tries to be a little too clever and simply doesn't most of the acting is stilted which is more a reflection on the director than the actors br br the version i saw on a plane was called scenes from a park which is a more appropriate title as not all the scenes were of a br br i was so looking forward to this movie but ultimately it is disappointing don't bother,negative +tom unforgettable oz is hands down one of the greatest television series ever created brilliantly written acted and directed it is as close to perfection in any art form film television literature music as it gets haunting in it's extreme brutality it creates a prison world filled with diverse characters that range from compassionate to flat out terrifying it is a show that no matter how brutal it is get through one cannot take its eyes off of the combination of professional trained theater actors with film and television actors allows for a range of diverse and all original performances br br and while the show is universally praised and has had a loyal fan base one cannot feel that it was under appreciated during it's television run because of other hbo dramas such as the sopranos sex and the city and six feet under and while all those shows are fine and borderline masterpieces in their right many people forget that it was oz that was first entry into one hour television drama series it was a brave first entry and with it hbo hit a grand slam with it this is as good as it gets,positive +in this flame of emotion we are introduced to several different high school youngsters during one day at school all of them struggle with finding them and keeping their painful secrets from being revealed has the feel of a coming of age documentary focusing on students inner landscape and their way of dealing with everyday challenges gets of with a powerful opening and develops like a moves the camera with great skill and invites us slowly into the youngsters minds and hearts a fictional that us all and reminds us of the of youth one of the most important films of today every teenager should be given the opportunity to see this moving piece of film,positive +the whole exercise is pointless why make the film at all the lighting is ghastly but the sound is just a joke like a high school production whoever put the budget together for this film should be drawn and for allowing it to be made without the proper budget for with equipment fit for recording br br so much dialog is due to in echo or the lack of to the economy should have been made on any other area the whole production is lifeless and just lame with such amateurish half production it lacks warmth clarity and has no design to it,negative +francis ford coppola wrote and directed this stunningly personal story of a married woman's flight from her husband and the reality that perhaps the youthful glee and excitement of her younger years are behind her we learn little about this woman's marriage except that she has been feeling her independence away as of late she's also recently learned she's pregnant which has further complicated her heart she doesn't want to be a despite the way she speaks to her husband over the phone she meets two men on her journey a former college football hero who after an accident during a game has been left with permanent brain damage and a sexy motorcycle cop who has a great deal of trouble in his own life the clear clean landscapes as photographed by the very talented butler are realized as are the characters shirley knight james and robert duvall each deliver strong gripping performances most especially since these are not very likable people in conventional terms some scenes such as first call home from a pay phone or her first night alone with where they play are almost too intimate to watch coppola toys with reality turning the memories of his characters into we've been made to he allows scenes to play out yet the editing is quite and the film is never allowed to get too heavy there are at least two or three very moments it's a so much so that the picture was still being shown at festivals nearly five years later some may of events in order to the finale with bitter irony however the and drive behind the picture nearly its shortcomings from,positive +i normally hate but this seems the only appropriate summary for i suspect i am not the first and i'm sure many many comments focus on the idiocy of with it certainly bothered me right off the bat but there's much more wrong with this movie than a fundamental lack of knowledge about how work br br personally if i was a parent i would be irritated by the violent turn it takes near the end in the showdown with the although for me it at least a little action and from a conventional screen writing point of view you might expect the to play a greater role in the conflict gee you have a widow cow maybe her husband was killed by nope there's a much dumber explanation and what kind of a farm is this to protect all the animals from harm but there certainly seems to be no threat from humans they make reference to the farmer being but what is he raising pigs for in all children's animal stories babe web you name it the reality of farm life is at least touched on perhaps our friendly farmer is running some sort of rescue shelter there is some reference to this but it's never explained but all the farmer gets in return is abuse from a horse in a scene that is supposed to be funny but left me seriously wondering if he was going to wind up buried in a shallow grave behind the and what the heck is the deal with wild mike it was like the scene in pulp fiction without the ball gag br br add in some truly awful attempts at emotional scenes a nearly complete lack of laughs and those and you've got the worst kids movie i've seen in ages i generally only post to imdb to highlight a film that's not so well known not to slam the current 2 box office hit but this movie me it was taking up space in my local theater space that could have been used to show something worthwhile there's been plenty of good family entertainment this summer in fact there were at least 2 more kids films playing at the same but i'm not allowed to see something like little miss sunshine so can cheat families out of an extra 30 at least i had a free pass br br i know that as a 35 year old with no children this film was not designed for me but there's just no excuse for such a lazy dreadful children's film as in the age of pixar i was bored by the ice age films but they certainly didn't anger me like shark tale was a weak attempt at street but it had quite a few laughs for that matter you could turn on at any time of the day and see something more entertaining and intelligent which is why they should be ashamed for putting their name on this garbage br br i'm giving it a 2 out of 10 only because the mouse was amusing and maria had a few amusing lines as the wife well not the wife some other farmer they didn't really explain who she was they didn't explain a lot of things especially not why sam elliot the ultimate man's man had an around down there creepy,negative +do all spoof films require pure stupidity and a lack of any sort of intelligence whatsoever to the humour is there even just a single genuinely funny parody film anymore all i see are zero quality films that look like a couple stoned high school students got bored one day with a video camera these movies are not funny they're not clever they're not entertaining they're just useless in every way br br the was a movie that tried to hide its hideous level of trash by not calling itself sports movie it's the same thing though there are a few different writers for these films the wayans did some and did some others and i'm sure there's another pair i can't even tell the difference in direction or humour to be honest it all seems like the same people wrote and directed them i can't tell if the was done by the people who did scary movie or the guys who did epic movie or someone else it's just the same jokes from all the others br br if you have any shred of taste or value for humour don't see this movie if you have self worth don't bother seeing it if you have any respect for film making don't even consider watching it don't see it in any broke down theatre that may still carry it don't rent it don't order it on netflix or pay per view don't it and don't even watch it for free on avoid it like the plague br br the only reasons i can see to watch this film are as follows br br a if you like torturing yourself there's very few better ways b seeing a prime example of why to avoid anything that says fox atomic c you're being paid considerably high amounts of cash br br i really would not watch the entire thing if someone offered me 100 to do it it's just mindless mental torment br br you might as well watch,negative +what can i say about this movie it really is one of the worst gay themed movies ever to come out of the uk i can only imagine the likes of diana quick and hale needed the money what story there is is such a rambling mess that you loose interest pretty quickly it's supposed to be based on real life events well all i can say to that one is that it's an insult to the real life characters the dvd is out at the moment in the uk it's available in either the split screen format which must make it even worse that the full screen version i watch gay cinema can be so much better than this and we deserve more,negative +a buddy and i went to see this movie when it came out in 1980 it was playing in a huge theater and we were the only two people in the place it lasted two days in the theater before they stopped showing it it was so bad that we laughed all the way through it since that time we rate movies based on kill or be killed as the worst movie of all time like other reviewers have mentioned it is so bad that it is funny it isn't worth a second look that's for sure i just can't bring myself to give it more than a 1 because i don't think the makers of the movie intended for it to be so bad and i can't give credit for an accident sorry,negative +as a rule there are few things more than hollywood's attempts to be courageous mixing caution with heavy message movies pat themselves on the back for daring to tackle major problems is not entirely free from this it includes a on the nature of senseless hatred that is embarrassingly obvious assuming a level of in its audience that's depressing to contemplate as late as it was a big deal for a movie to that anti existed and that it was bad it was of course for hollywood to address the real subject of the book on which the movie was victim was a homosexual nevertheless thanks to good writing and excellent acting remains a examination of what we would now call a hate crime br br was one of the major of film noir and it directly the film is set in washington d c among soldiers still in uniform but spending their days playing poker and bar joseph sam an intelligent and kindly jew explains that the end of the war has created a void all the energy that went into hating and fighting the enemy is now and up meets three soldiers in a bar the sensitive mitchell who is close to a nervous breakdown the weak and a tall overbearing bully who a young soldier from as a stupid the three soldiers wind up at apartment where the drunken monty becomes increasingly abusive calling his host jew boy is beaten to death and mitchell disappears making himself the prime suspect for the killing br br the crime are detective robert young dry and by the book and sergeant robert mitchum a thoughtful and experienced friend who knows mitchell is incapable of murder among the pieces of the puzzle are gloria a nightclub who met mitchell and gave him her apartment key and steve who as a witness to the crime holes up terrified in a seedy house while there is no real suspense the story remains gripping and the trap laid for the killer is extremely clever br br the strong noir atmosphere saves the movie from feeling or the cinematography is a striking shadow play with and harsh lights rooms often lit by a single by cigarette smoke world is as as noir lighting nothing interests me says quietly to nothing is in the nightclub gloria the of noir nearly steals the movie with her two scenes blonde jaded and she's the quintessential b girl by the mill where she works for laughs she says her sweet face when mitchell tells her that she reminds him of his wife now and then a kindness through her shell as when she dances with mitchell in a deserted then offers to cook him spaghetti at her apartment when he goes there he meets a faced man paul kelly who seems to off and whose conversation is a dense of lies and false gloria blows good girl wife off the screen in a scene where she's asked to give mitchell an slim and in her with her she lets us see just how often has been insulted and as a tramp br br robert young is a actor and he stands no chance against charisma but he does a good job of keeping his smoking character with delivering the movie's earnest message this side of mitchum meanwhile gets some cool dialogue but not nearly enough to do still even when he's doing nothing but in a corner you can't take your eyes off him the third robert ryan creates a fully and convincing portrait of an ignorant unstable we see his phony his bullying his of anyone with his am i right or am i right how easily he on people and what satisfaction he gets from them br br message seems and dated now though not nearly so much as the same year's a speech about cops out by reaching back a hundred years for an instance of white reminding us that irish were once next it could be people from he says or men who wear or maybe blacks or japanese or or the script seems afraid to mention any real contemporary problems it its message by making the jewish victim as though his innocence were not sufficient and it takes care to the military having a superior officer that the army is ashamed of men like and that served in the war still it did take some guts to depict immediately after world war ii an american who might have been happier in the nazi army and the movie's basic premise is still valid if monty were alive today he would have gone out on september 12 2001 and beat up a,positive +a trite fish out of water story about two friends from the who move to the big city to seek their fortune they become playboy and nothing particularly surprising happens after that the final 15 minutes are especially cheesy but at least the looked good,negative +this is one of those family movies that i can't imagine having much appeal to anyone over about 9 a group of siblings discovers a sand fairy yes really conveniently located at the end of a not so secret passage at the country home of their eccentric uncle to which they've been from the london and there you have it all in one sentence the story is about the role of magic in childhood and the danger of getting wishes but neither of these issues is examined in a way that would be interesting to adults or to children or vice versa the only reason i can think of for watching this is to see how outstanding talent stands out from the rest of the mediocre performances,negative +this movie was just plain bad i can forgive low budget films for being low budget but it wasn't funny it wasn't smart it had no redeeming qualities at all unless you really like looking at fake boobs i don't know what this genre is classified as possibly erotic horror but if so well it's neither sexy nor scary it into the party massacre movies was useless i'd never seen the previous movies myself and except for one scene that attempted to tie it together i had no way of knowing who the escaped psycho killer in was or why they were bothering with including him especially because and i don't think i'm revealing anything here it was really obvious that the killer in this film wasn't him as for the actual murderer all i can say is lame really lame when you find out why the killer is the squad and the coach and two who happened to be on the bus trip they're taking and the bus driver just for the heck of it apparently you will sit there and go wtf worst excuse for a murdering spree ever the actors two why i added the quotes generally looked like low budget porn rejects which they most likely were those poor people trying to break into legitimate film one of my friends had this to say about the actor who played the bus driver he looks like the guy who you know gets really into it and his face gets all red and stuff we had a good at that half of the other actors had all the skill and subtlety of the actors in the sixth grade production of annie i just saw the other half pretty much seemed bored to death especially in the deleted scene this one and by ten minutes into this movie i was too br br a note the dvd contains one deleted scene which would've put the movie from r rated to 17 if it had been left in it was entirely gratuitous and as adult entertainment goes of no quality whatsoever the only reason to bother with it is to laugh a lot at the badness,negative +i should explain that as far as this trend goes for ripping off asian horror movies this is a head above the grudge and dark water while still not achieving the same amount of atmospheric creepiness that the ring br br still though movies like life don't exist in a and are therefore up for comparison to other suspense thriller horror movies honestly i'm not writing a lengthy synopsis here and will say that this movie attempts to rely on music induced scares rather than atmosphere and the ghost itself really isn't that remarkable the plot is pretty basic and predictable and isn't anything to write home about either while there are a few suspenseful scenes that border on scary most of the movie is pretty vanilla if you enjoyed the grudge and it's then you might enjoy this br br grade c,negative +i watched because over the last few years michael sheen has become one of my favourite actors and if you haven't seen him in anything before firstly shame on you and secondly get your hands on a copy of either or dirty filthy love this production did not disappoint michael sheen transformed himself almost magically into kenneth williams and gave a performance that was as moving as it was not to take anything away from the other performances but like kenneth michael truly stole the show i don't know how he does it but every performance i have seen michael give he seems to until the character he plays is truly utterly believable and no matter how hard i try i cannot fault him must go get my tea enjoy,positive +i thoroughly enjoyed this film when it was first released and on each occasion i've seen it since the political drama is effective if not especially new or inspired the decades since the release of the film have demonstrated that the to cut costs at the expense of public safety is definitely not just something imagined by a screenwriter br br however i think the most impressive element of this film is jack performance it is absolutely astonishing to watch him at work he has the gift to be able to communicate so much at times without saying a word next time you watch this film check out jack's face at the times he is not saying anything he does not need to speak or worse yet to to let you know what's going through his mind br br i am calling this a spoiler because of the impression it made on me when i first saw the film in last scene in the film as he is lying on the floor he feels a slight the terror in his eyes is one of the most frightening images i have seen in any film it is perfect acting because it conveys instantly the threat about to occur if jack's character is so terrified there is certainly something awful about to happen and it does,positive +note after writing this review i see that this listing is indeed about the tv series and not the original film my mistake i thought imdb for a for movies not tv shows but since most people will look up this film under bagdad and not out of which strangely is the name this film is listed under on imdb i'll leave this comment here br br maybe i missed something but when i read that other review it seemed to be entirely a review of the cbs series which must have been loosely based on this film i did not see the tv series and i might like it or not but one thing i am sure is that it is very different than this film this film is not like a tv show at all and goldberg is not in it or any other famous hollywood stars other than jack palance who was very charming in his role br br this is a terribly sweet movie that totally thinks outside the box it is not at all like a hollywood formula movie which is probably why the what's a nice word for idiots who decide to market movies or not decided not to market this one br br first of all this movie captured my heart and imagination from the get go from the music which is just part of the time so you can't really call it a musical to the cinematography to the really cool story br br a german or woman very pretty and quite gets in an argument with the other german or man with whom she is traveling through the california desert with and parts ways with him he taking off in the car and she left to for herself on a deserted and desert like highway out in the middle of nowhere br br she finds the small and but charming bagdad in bagdad california and in the rest of the story is magic i don't want to try to describe this film because i want you to enjoy every surprise br br warning if you are a racist or have something against big women you will not like this movie as the main romantic lead is a big woman and characters of brown and red skin have large roles and are included as part of the mix without any racism involved br br i gave this film a 10 for entertainment and sheer,positive +words fail me for this appalling waste of two hours of anyone's life the story is contrived to the point of complete br br the acting is and so much of this is laughably dreadful jones so wonderful in lock stock and two smoking is awful and unbelievable as mike sullivan journalist br br i honestly can't ever remember seeing a worse film it's only worth watching for the appalling continuity after jones is handed a huge beating he emerges without a scratch on him his girlfriend a drink over him and he chases her from the pub bone dry it's quite dreadful made all the worse by the talented actors who appear in it,negative +the creative team that brought us police squad and the naked gun derived from it said in interview that they were told by their network contact that the show would be canceled after their delivery of the first episode basically the show was never given any chance typical hollywood the contact apparently told the team that the problem with the show was that for the show to be funny the viewer would actually need to watch it most shows are presented on tv with the understanding that the viewer needed to get up and miss a few minutes while getting food or going to the toilet etc br br the humor of the show is extremely dry it uses no laugh track and the universe the characters inhabit is one in which anything can happen regardless of logic as long as it was totally unbelievable so for instance in one episode a surgeon has to an on the street in order to get a tip on heart surgery br br those familiar with the naked gun films should be warned that there are a number of interesting between the show and the films in the films developed a particular take approach that is eyes when confronted with the unexpected this doesn't happen in the show where is the center around which the rest of the universe revolves nothing is unexpected to him also there are no romances in the show and no parodies of mtv finally the show takes certain risks that the films avoid in the first episode to re the crime has a squad of homicide detectives shoot each other from a number of different angles the hard way this is actually a bit of humor since we need to accept that it's perfectly normal for policemen to kill each other while investigating a crime for no other reason than this sort of thing rarely happens in the films br br taken each of the episodes is actually funnier than any one of the naked gun films since they are both more more happens in a shorter time frame yet more paced there's not the rush for a punch line as sometimes happens in the films there are some inconsistencies that happen in the films primarily 2 and 3 that never occur in the show's shorter time frame br br of course there's no doubt that naked gun the first film is one of the great comedies of theatrical cinema and if you watch the tv show episode after episode in one sitting the dry quality of the humor might wear away one's tolerance br br none the less it would be useful to have a dvd of this and watch an episode a day for a few weeks if laughter has as some claim value watching this show is good for one's health,positive +my age 13 br br james cole played by steven seagal is sent to help detective jim campbell played by wayans solve a series of killings in which the victims are since cole has arrived on the spot he notices that the killings have changed a little and thinks there is a different killer it becomes personal when his ex wife is murdered and campbell finds his on the body campbell the mysterious cole and finds out about a very shady past br br i am not a fan of steven seagal i enjoy action movies but he is the worst actor i have ever seen this film is not much fun to watch at all incredibly dumb and obviously steven acting performance is absolutely horrid wayans isn't too bad though the only redeeming thing in this film is the occasional good action scene although most come round because of insanely stupid reasons the plot in this film is absolute i didn't care for it at all the whole man past of character was stupid all the mafia fights and fights in the restaurant were there for almost no reason give this film a miss br br australian ma 15 high level violence br br rating 35 out of 100 quite generous,negative +this has got to be the worst piece of crap i have ever seen randy quaid funny as a supporting actor in the original but not as the leading too much eddie the original is a classic like the original the supporting actor carried the show ed was very funny he is the eddie of christmas 2 how come still looks the same after all those years and everyone else in the original looks 14 years older after 15 minutes of watching this movie i don't believe i had even laughed yet the island thing just didn't work if it wasn't for the good looking south pacific female guide on the island the movie would have been a total loss i sat on this review for a week and yes i still think the movie should never have been made lets hope there is not a third br br shawn,negative +so madonna isn't meryl streep still this is one of her first films and a comedy at that give her a break sure the movie is mediocre at best and in comparison to its earlier counterpart w hepburn bringing up baby for what it is though a piece of fluff it's quite a bit of fun to watch i've yet to hear anyone that acting skills back it up w evidence or even other than awful bad or other such vague words if you wanna see bad acting or justify the argument that singers should stick to singing how about she's had the most commercial success of any actress in history and couldn't act her way out of a the american public obviously cannot the difference between a credible performance in a movie and star power i think madonna has always been at least credible in her movies get real people madonna bashing is so 90's,positive +extremely good cinematic story of gay former teen star now waiting tables the sexual are explored here realistically and with an actual human face this and throw in a serial killer on the loose and you have love and the human remains a well portrayed drama a strange sense of humor and a mystery the screenplay is fluid and believable the performances are well above average and the twists in the story are sharp br br this certainly isn't everyone's ideal notion of a movie but for those who appreciate something different and written it's very much worthy of your time highly recommended,positive +i have seen this movie three times going back to in the 1980's and again on the channel last night 11 based on a true story which i remember being in the news during the early 1980's i've decided that i find it too disturbing to watch ever again yet it's hard to look away from a car accident the character is joshua john miller who plays reeves little brother br br the story this movie was based on can be found anywhere on the internet just it it's about anthony jacques who murdered conrad in california in 1981 the characters portray generation x pre borderline with the exception of reeves who grows a conscience br br old hippies did a great job raising that generation br br for such a young kid i thought joshua miller was excellent as the serial killer in the making character in he went to and has written screenplays as well as directed his acting in this film were amazing just the way he treats his little sister by drowning her doll and up her dolls grave gave me the it gave me nightmares even with whats happening in our world today in it still is the most film i've seen to date br br the and of these families is enough to make one this thrill kill almost makes the murders pale in comparison br br glover got a little too much into character he wound up on david to discuss his role and almost kicked the host in the head glover had to seek psychiatric help after portraying his character br br also fight the good fight to the great dennis hopper you're one of the best,positive +this movie really sucks sucks really really hard this movie should be in the bottom 100 but it is so bad that almost nobody has seen it to vote for her so many times that it should be at the same time of the hands of fate i should have him position 1 awful but the reason for which i put him 2 was for eve the girl of the town that besides some scenes of nudity besides i thought of voting for 3 but like they killed eve i returned at 2 it is that movies like this they should not be by anybody since not even they took to the fame or other productions to the actors main great the history of a mining ghost that kills to and after they put an end to their it because with the end they it very ugly br br final score vote 2 for the nudity and the performance of the beautiful eve,negative +it's a shame there's an interesting idea here but it gets completely lost in a confusion of 64 style computer effects and bad storytelling the plot such as it is concerns a bounty hunter of souls it should be a fairly straightforward hunter hunted kind of story but the director and or the writer seem like they forgot what the movie was supposed to be when they were about three days into shooting things aren't helped by the fact that the main baddie looks like he's wearing a cheap darth mask which they tried to disguise with flowing cg colors not much to recommend here even the title seems to it into obscurity,negative +this was my second experience of the monkey island series the full seven years after i had been shown the first game what was my response oh great we're playing a cartoon i'm glad my brother shut me up then and played on because the jokes caught my attention once again as well as wonderful voice acting of not to mention everyone else done well i still think sounds better than the do well to illustrate something happening and the art of both the game and are excellent when we found the cd with the originals secret and revenge we were both and spent hours working through revenge one such moment was where we just sat down and blew half a day on it however has to be the monkey island game i've played the most especially for the return of and combat on the high that moment when you encounter kenny and he tells you he's gone straight and then i'm running guns had both my brother and i in tears from laughter and that's not the best part of the game not by far,positive +the tender hook or who killed the australian film industry case no this sorry excuse for a period drama takes a cast and idea with potential – rose pia miranda hugo in a jazz era gangster drama – and turns it into a paced and executed is a boxing and gangster and illiterate for no apparent reason he's given to singing bob dylan and leonard cohen songs before how post modern how stupid anyway there's a boxer art matthew le who becomes latest over his unfortunately luke br br makes the goo goo eyes at him sexual tension under the surface miranda plays daisy a friend of these flower girls stick together who keeps turning up in scenes they practice dancing together and talk about up with guys in the 1920s i stopped counting after that there's a subplot involving japanese beer and a of pearl i don't know what it was all about for some reason that is not exactly at all explained puts cocaine in thinks he's a drunk and him plots and schemes to help him out again she's a big one for the plotting and scheming most of which causes trouble two john and russian tyler debate off when he realises their part in one of schemes but out when he sees crying a lot of practically incoherent scenes get in the road of the film finally ending br br director jonathan spends a lot of time working with cinematographer geoffrey simpson creating some pretty images but utterly fails to generate a sense of style which might have for and the script unfortunately sense of film the lack of of the scenes and exposition is stunningly incompetent in an early scene daisy suddenly appears in the car with the protagonists how she got there and indeed who she is seems to have slipped mind there are many more examples of this where he chases poetic he achieves only wan he awkward performances from actors who are normally reliable badly and on ability to project a kind of haunted doll like humanity whilst her with an incomprehensible character br br it might not matter so much if the story had more substantial characters and stronger plotting preferably not stolen from a dozen old noir films and with pop culture quotes but it doesn't it's boring,negative +how many disaster movies can there be before we get tired of them come on we can see them on the discovery channel all day long br br i agree with the comment that the first part of this movie is just a soap opera the great makes a and everybody starts about how he is ruining the family name the evil mother in law convinces the wife to throw him out into the arms of his mistress whom she wants to meet can you believe that the wife wants to the new wife at the same time the has someone in love with her that doesn't have a wife but she sends him br br now that the soap opera is over the appears br br the special effects are really good but the dubbing is bad that is why i like subtitled films the actors are all very experienced and have won many awards so you will get to see some of best in an repeated story br br but the soap opera story returns with a ending,negative +having read most of the comments i feel like i have a word to say as well br br what bothers me most is that most people here are think that this movie is either pro or con to the subject of death penalty and whether it worked with them i remember having read an article back in 1995 when the film was published yes it has interested me so much ever since i heard that it would come out that i have not forgotten about the i read back then in which tim robbins said that he did not want to make a movie to convince audiences of neither one nor the other br br and i think that is completely right i have to admit that i believe that in the way he made this film he did tend a little bit to the anti death penalty side but nevertheless people are still allowed to make their own choice and this is a very rare thing in american films br br i have shown this movie to many people since it came out and i have seen all kinds of reactions death penalty supporters became opponents or became even stronger in their belief and many death penalty opponents including me grew stronger in their belief that death penalty should be everywhere in the world but i have even seen opponents turn into supporters this and the fact that people here seem to fight about it shows to me that there are really many ways of looking at it so whatever effect it has on you the important thing is that it makes you think br br this is one of the few movies that really gives you the choice that does not shy away with a simple path by making the convicted either bad or innocent this may be a tough thing for people who prefer being entertained or a lesson there is no lesson here you need to find one yourself br br everyone the acting directing and the music but since this has been said so many times the i will not repeat it all again br br so if you have not seen this yet do so if you dare to be challenged,positive +this film was actually shot and made in 1987 but it didn't hit the theaters until 1990 as i watched this film i could see the good intentions that it had but i'm afraid there wasn't much talent or experience behind the camera to make it work story takes place in california in the and some italian immigrants who own are told they have to leave their land so a can come through dennis hopper plays william who has offered money for the land but has been turned down is sebastian and he is to proud to leave and asks the other to stand up and fight to keep their land grows and hires a bunch of thugs to force everyone to these thugs are headed by a man named andrews burt young and he doesn't hesitate to kill anyone who gives him problems andrews and his men kill one night and his son eric roberts to seek revenge and get the land back for everyone blows up the bridge that the was going to need and they also destroy a tunnel and this sets back the project for several months and now starts to get heat from other this film was directed by peter masterson and besides the trip to he has at best a career in directing he's a fine actor but here he seems to be in over his head this was a film that desperately needed more attention to detail and its easy to see that it didn't occur roberts is perfect for the 1980's but this is suppose to be the cinematographer is who ended up being a good cameraman but this was only his fourth film and he certainly had not learned everything at that time its not a sharp looking film at all and i noticed in several shots during the day that the sun would be glaring off of something and the scenes just don't have the that would have helped the overall look the script is just a revenge story and no surprises take place during the course of the film we know is going to get it and it seemed just a matter of time the cast is top notch and they do their best but the whole film comes across as uninspired this was promoted as julia roberts film debut but i'm not sure that is correct she might have appeared in a film called before this,negative +well i thought the movie was blah 1 10 br br anyways the best part is the first 5 minutes of the film with the or whatever girlfriend this is the part u guys watch out for tho she had big i thought is that really a random actor heck no it wasn't it was actually a model by the name of but u already knew that br br so that made sense but that was about it rest of the film that i saw anyway didn't care 4 and didn't bother watching the rest of it that's br br all i needed to c to be satisfied so 2 those of u that just care for that well there u go enjoy,negative +just saw this at the cinema i haven't read the books there is nothing new about this film at all br br the bad guys seem to die with a couple of no matter how many times our hero has been stabbed with a big sword he keeps on going looking the same ish there are several action scenes but they are very fake filmmakers seem to be under the impression that whenever they cant be bothered to a fight scene they just move the camera up close move fast and turn the music up this leaves me feeling yet again br br i admire them for attempting to tackle a dark storyline without the normal hollywood cheese but i'm sorry to say the filmmakers have failed miserably the characters are 2 dimensional we hardly get to know them or feel for them at all the lead has a charming accent though it seems he hasn't got much to say br br don't bother watching this unless you are bored and got it half price from blockbusters,negative +i loved this movie mark was perfect for this role more classic sci horror films should be remade to this comedy level which is at the very top of the line in my opinion a no drink movie you laugh so hard you will it all over yourself can we expect more let's hope so i would like to suggest many movies for this type of remake mel made some remakes of classic films he made some very strong a picture of gray would be a good suggestion i hope some producer or director can get into the idea and bring us new comedy to our screens we are needing a good of comedy to keep our level of laughter higher than ever before a good comedy fix,positive +fulci does this man brings one of the and movies ever made answer yes cat in the brain also known as nightmare concert is last masterpiece yes it is no matter what some people will say about it there are few facts why this movie is one of the best movies br br fulci make a fun of himself and his movies with this one lead roll in this movie is no other then fulci himself who plays well horror splatter gore director who thinks he is slowly going insane it's filled with black humor which unlike in the most of the modern horror movies works here being fulci flick you need to know it's gory how much well pretty much i always loved gore in the movies and i never get enough of it but cat in the brain actually stopped my for gore and believe me it's a hard to archive even the didn't stop it is all about gore almost every scene revolves about fulci who after being by evil is seeing all kinds of horrors for everything that happens to him or everything he sees some of the scenes involves him accidentally dropping the and instead of that he sees rotten corpse lying on the floor which starts to spit some from it's wounds forget the beyond or zombie 2 this is the fulci movie now i like how fulci manage to apply all those comic parts in the movie he is such a brilliant director some funny moments and lines happens from time to time like one where fulci says making gore movies is kind of a sickness ending is very good considering that fulci and most of the italian horror masters is know for making ending with no sense or many plot holes if you are fun of the fulci make sure you check it out if you have a weak stomach avoid this and repeat its only a movie ps some of the gore scenes within this movie chainsaw full tongue torn out torn out corpses zombies face being in water stabs in the shower to head throat many parts of the body and organs being aside hammer face,positive +ok number one this film is a 90's version of a crappy show from the 70's that no one remembers number two as soon as the movie started i was confused it was like i walked in halfway through the movie there was no plot it was very annoying horrible wardrobe call me crazy but it's just not believable to me that little skinny omar can chase down a big grown man without a gun and scare him into talking it's a ridiculous plot i'm sorry but to me kids these days can't even put their pants on one leg at a time let alone catch some evil underground killers i walked out of the theater and and got my money back i do not this movie to anyone over 12 years old,negative +i sat through all 2 hours i do not know what was worse the awful plot the lame characters or the that 11 kid and 80 year old grandpa made sexual advances toward the money spent on this was just down the throne simmons should be ashamed the original idea for this movie was a swiss family and it somehow turned into this mess the only bright spot is that it's ratings were so bad we will never see this on tv again avoid at all costs rent ernest saves or something else,negative +it's so depressing when film makers try to be cool and it's so obvious here this has below average acting laughable dialogue split screens that are difficult to watch and many goofs in it's attempt to be a period film and this film should be avoided at all costs i was told not to go and see this film i wish i had listened,negative +2002 film distant his third feature film his first was black and white the small town is a significant step up from his good but flawed 1999 film clouds of may the earlier film had potential but of a small budget and improvised quality in the worst ways plot holes and wooden acting from amateurs that clouds of may succeeded on any level was a testament to talent as a budding filmmaker however distant is arrival on the international scene as a great artist one who has many of the same qualities as other great filmmakers like bergman although his screenplay is not as dialogue heavy it is just as brooding and he lacks for close ups his shots are usually long shots for and medium shots for interiors and whose scenes of the bulk of the film takes place in snowy the fact that it in turkey will likely surprise some which lends the film a definite feel as well as reminding one of some of the bleak snowy urban images from the the natural images the best of as they tend to go on a beat or two longer than standard film theory would which is what makes them even more memorable while the urban landscapes range from the nearly compositions of antonioni to the cultural of woody allen one shot of a water is a direct read steal from manhattan save the lack of the brooklyn bridge in the background in another scene similarly quotes a famous shot of a ship in the harbor from tokyo story yet like all great artists makes his his own art by slightly them and keeping them to his own film's distant is a film whose title the characterization within the film and the feeling some viewers will have toward them but it does not describe the film itself for scenes stay with one long after the film ends perhaps the most memorable scene and image of the film comes when stalks his ex wife at the airport and watches her with her new husband as they head to board the plane that will remove her from his life forever as he watches her from a distance we see her catch just a glance of him watching her will she leave her husband and return to not in this film he pulls back behind a and merely turns her head back to her future is her past and she knows how to best move on just keep moving will never get it most rarely get such moments of insight into themselves of life that some viewers will get the film and that gets his own powers of creation shows that ignorance can teach as long as one moves about it distant does albeit it at just the right length,positive +don't torture a is one of the coolest italian horror films i've ever seen and i've seen my share to call it a giallo is a little misleading because it's not really a typical murder mystery it's more of a straight horror movie br br complete with one of the most brutal and gory scenes ever in a movie this old and turning film with a creepy ambiance and an old school italian feel the setting is perfect an old italian village the music is ridiculously perfect the finale is genuine and original br br after seeing don't torture a you really have to wonder how later stuff got so off beat i like all his stuff but he maybe he figured he already did it because with this film he hits the br br i'd recommend this film to anyone who thinks that owns the giallo genre fulci beats him with this one br br 10 out of 10 kids,positive +this was one of later stories throughout her long career she was interested in the shifting narrative and the notion of agents both are essentially the same thing and down to questions of who it is that controls or creates the situation br br in detective fiction the game is a matter of realities the murderer to change reality to fool the detective the writer to do the same to the reader both the reader and the detective are in similar battles to create what they see that's why her stories often include a writer br br in her works she explores every combination of tricks she can think of that deal with this along the way we often have bodies that are not who they seem and times and intended victims and such but the real magic of the books is this notion of control in it was literally a building br br here it is a dead man well sometimes that happens but not like this it is as if the writer were the famous mr this is particularly sweet to readers who remember this same character from the mystery ' which in a way was also framed by her nephew in that story was the of the story to the authorities br br the producers of this series have an almost wacky commitment to using a different creative team on each one sometimes it produces bland work the episode was rather brilliantly staged this one is the most lavish of the lot and has an active camera but unlike the work it has nothing to do with the story br br the camera moves and captures merely because it can the quote at the beginning was a little too literal and blunt this story is good but the took out some pretty critical stuff and that irrelevant camera br br ted's 2 of 3 has some interesting elements,negative +don't hate heather graham because she's beautiful hate her because she's fun to watch in this movie like the hip clothing and funky surroundings the actors in this flick work well together affleck is hysterical and heather graham literally lights up the screen the minor characters sigh and patricia are as talented as they are gorgeous director lisa krueger,positive +this movie is the final straw as two dedicated fans of the romantic comedy this movie has finally made us realise that nothing good has come out of this genre since love actually there was nothing good about the film whatsoever it was an to love death and everything in between including horses and there was absolutely no chemistry between the characters this movie took the spark out of nicholas sparks diane lane cannot act to save her life she was unconvincing in her laugh cry and dance and she needs a better there is no reason to watch this movie save yourself the romantic comedy is officially dead,negative +i haven't watched this show in months but for a while i was forced to watch it every day because i had a roommate that liked it so maybe it's some vast improvement in all that time although the commercials and the 4 2 rating on imdb aren't a good sign br br it was clearly just a quick replacement for show even says so and while i wasn't even that big a fan of show his jokes were at least original and clever and far than has ever been jokes are completely unoriginal and stale if you can't see that i guess there's just no hope for you but to be fair here are some examples br br blatantly rips off jon skit just takes it br br south park makes an episode about one week later has a joke on his show about how offensive he is to bear in mind the joke isn't about but about how much he's offended them on his show when up to this point he has never made a single joke ever br br after two photos go around the internet showing a black man and a white woman finding them weeks later after millions of people have already seen this presents it on his show as if he discovered it and it's being shown for the first time the daily show would have been on something like that in a day pathetic br br even more annoying than the joke stealing is the way carlos has promoted himself and his show claiming he's breaking down some sort of pc whatever and that if you aren't laughing you must be a weak who can't handle any jokes about race yes carlos it's not because you're not funny it's because we're all too offended to laugh if that was really true then why was show so popular he constantly his audience for not getting it if he doesn't get enough laughs and often repeats and explains his jokes a technique most comedians stop using by age 14 br br the worst part is that does not seem to be very intelligent it's sort of tragic that there are dozens of funnier more insightful comedians out there trying to make it while this guy is rolling in money his show is supposedly the third highest rated on comedy central which is again it has a 4 2 rating on this site where the hell are they getting these numbers comedy central tries to bill itself as an edgy station but as long as it tries to appeal to the dumbest audience possible that will never be the case,negative +some films are so badly made they are watchable purely for the cringe factor made me cringe so much it was uncomfortable i watched it all what i was watching wasn't anyone aware how bad this was whilst they were filming mix the most performances from the most wooden actors an abysmal script were every comment from all of the sounded like it came from the same character and the most editing that tried and failed to give the film a forced pace all these combined into a film that will rob you of a few hours of your life and give nothing in return avoid at every cost,negative +i just don't understand why anytime someone does a show about one of the largest areas in the country dallas austin san antonio etc they portray the average person as someone who wears cowboy hat talks with a has zero fashion sense and drives a truck on his way to either the saloon or his next hunting trip shooting or country music concert i have never even seen a small town cop driving a police truck anywhere in texas br br the funny thing is this is not done for artistic reasons or comedy they are actually serious and i guess believe the average person is too stupid to know the difference the bad scripts and equally bad acting give that away this show makes goofy shows in the past like look like high brow entertainment at least had the talking car,negative +a man comes to the office of the psychiatric dr joan claiming to be the demon kane the of the 13th level of the hell and he would like to tell weird things he tells that he had made a deal with to become human again he should knock up his virgin sister mary elizabeth alison on the day that their mother died and she should kill six people and deliver the anti christ and then he would escape from the pit and when mary elizabeth gets pregnant her and abusive sister catherine denise crosby does not believe that she is virgin but their father and former albert martino james callahan his daughter and sees her intact meanwhile the church discovers the truth about mary and sends the priest and former military father anthony eddie to spy mary elizabeth she is dominated by the and forced to kill a truck driver lars who is the lover of her tenant and friend jennifer and jennifer herself and eat their hearts and drink their but she believes that she has nightmares however during the she realizes that she is carrying a monster and she asks her father to stop her but it is too late br br the awful born is a b movie actually a z movie that believes that is a great movie the result is a pretentious and disappointing production with an incoherent and absurd story without humor and terrible acting and direction the plot is a complete mess there is a priest that is a hit man and former soldier a demon in existential crisis going to a psychiatric a father that the virginity of his daughter two female demons that stand naked like a statue with both hands covering their a character that is a slut and only exists to expose her beautiful body there are many scenes with free and cheap nudity but the worst is the acting the unknown lead actress alison is with ridiculous voices and sorry ms alison but i hated your annoying performance i have not recognized joan who has a good performance since i still had the image of her youth denise crosby performs a hateful character and like everybody she got older but she is still a good actress i believe that if the writer and the director had included some dark humor and assumed that this movie is a b movie the story might have worked better and better my vote is three br br title brazil o anti the anti christ,negative +movies are something you see on saturday night and forget by sunday morning motion pictures are works of art that stick with you forever falls into the latter category this is the type of thing that should win academy awards a brilliant visual of film that is both depressing and uplifting instead of doing a straightforward look at the life of director paul three adaptations of the author's stories into a look at his past and final day on earth the day he tried to lead the japanese military into rebellion in the name of the emperor failing to do that he commits ritual suicide in an ending that hits you like a ton of the three short story adaptations allow a look into what led him to this and are presented in an experimental way that makes them appear to be filmed stage plays ken is magnificent as despite his he comes off as very sympathetic a man who is quite willing to die for his beliefs and does this makes the ending that much more devastating and the sense of loss more meaningful of the three story adaptations temple of the golden house and runaway horses it is the last that is the strongest and most emotional it also is the story that most closely matches mood in his final years and illustrates what truly led him to the events of november 1970 this review cannot be complete without a mention of philip striking musical score not since 2001 has a film score been such a perfect compliment to it's visuals paul crafted one of the most beautiful movies of the 1980s or any other decade for that matter have the at the ready because the ending will leave you in tears a life in four chapters reminds you that sometimes film can still be an art form and as art it is brilliant,positive +don't be fooled this isn't yet another tired example of the girls from outer space pretending to be the french team come to earth to collect as much as possible genre though the synopsis may suggest otherwise this movie is a gem an absolute jewel that has my life from the moment i laid eyes upon it hilarious action packed and stunningly erotic is a euro tour de force a grossly underrated classic br br stop everything you are doing and run out to rent or better yet buy this movie immediately,positive +we have given this film one star for awful however it really depends on how you look at it we are currently watching this on channel 5 at 3 and we haven't stopped laughing so perhaps we could give it a 10 just for the entertainment value right from the outset with the thoughts of the stalker being in comic fashion we were laughing is it me or does that chick from landing look like one of the characters from the dark crystal br br i'm not going to spoil it for you however you would have to be pretty stupid not to see it coming i don't think its clever enough for double br br this has to be the worst best film we have ever seen if we'd been playing the the drinking game then we be wasted by now,negative +nemesis game is a mind film filled with death mystery and philosophy in it's sense the film is about seeking answers and what happens when you've finally found them all the search for answers leads sarah novak down a path that gets darker as it gets more compelling the final answer seems more dangerous than it is worth yet sarah is so close to understanding it all what would you do if you were offered the ability to finally make sense of the chaos of life br br the movie was written and directed by jesse warn while this was first feature length film the movie doesn't reflect that at all but instead shows polish and an artistic approach to telling the story was powerful in the lead role and showed a depth of complexity that was fascinating to watch i would definitely love to see more of her work br br being based on this is a very cerebral movie it's that's your thing as it is mine then i totally recommend seeing nemesis game rating 4 5 5,positive +was a big disappointment for me i'd how great it was how important it was it just didn't strike me it had a dim witted story line plus some moronic and sadistic native american characters that are offensive by today's standards while most of d w films have depth and this one feels more like a formula programme picture br br i loved seeing and mae in pre birth of a nation roles plus some of the staging of the battle scenes were pretty good to future griffith cameraman karl brown audiences were standing on their seats and cheering once the comes riding in at the end i felt nothing and me i watching early work at this film just isn't what it used to be br br the best thing about this film it that for all of it's flaws it has many of touches to it he handles his principal actors pretty well plus the scene where the indians are the cabin it reminiscent to the climax of birth of a nation a far superior film that would send shock waves across america a little over a year later,negative +brilliant br br well this certainly is one of my very movie this movie came as a total surprise to me i had been avoiding this movie for a very very long time now that was because i am not a fan of jamie foxx i still am not a big fan of him but i sure am a fan now br br well he deserved every bit of that oscar his performance is one of the best performances i have seen in a long long time he is truly sensational br br well the narration or the flow of the story is brilliant for a movie i am a drama fan so i wasn't bored at all br br i was way too much surprised to have being liking the movie so much that i did not see any flaws in the movie i think there isn't any flaw in the movie maybe some events errors but hey who cares br br the performance by the woman who plays mother was also really good and well washington … she has so much potential if given the right role she might just be the next oscar winner br br well the story of them movie was so emotional so touching i i cried very br br i don't give a damn if the things were mad up or not this movie mad me and that's a lot for me br br all in all a superb one of the very best of this century br br 10 10,positive +the film's title makes it sound like a porno but it's not even a sex comedy instead hot summer in county is about an official sent from a southern state to a small town to locate and arrest the though is coming from the farm of an old woman with three beautiful daughters almost anyone can guess what happens next but oddly the film is very tame it hardly even qualifies for a pg rating what's more the low budget is obvious in pretty much every shot and the acting is amateurish this film was probably intended for the drive in crowd but it's unlikely that it satisfied them even in 1974,negative +army private gene kelly who's also a talented comes under

design 19 chemical heart mix 20 come on mix br br loved this movie sure it wasn't hollywood material some people complained about the script acting but thats the beauty in australian movies,positive +pretty visuals and a lot of fights make not a good movie and that is precisely what happened here br br first off let me admit i am yet to play i intend to order it soon however i did do research to myself with the characters and the story however not everyone has the luxury of time to research things like this and children demands that knowledge of is required br br in spite of incredible visuals i can't say there is too much thats new we've seen it in final fantasy the spirits within and apart from some better movement i can't say they've done lots of super daring stuff with this br br the fight scenes well they are a bit of fun still how could we ever doubt the result of any of them this one was classic there were three fights with the bad guys following the standard the hero cloud gets then he almost gets there and gets and then finally wins the reason i say it was classic was that it is used a great deal but in this case is poorly executed i'll touch on that later br br the english dub seemed fine to me though i didn't watch it in japanese so i judge the japanese dub but only the english one i'll say this i've heard plenty of better ones even in my limited br br and now the plot what plot let me be frank this movie is but a fan service a chance to see the characters on the big screen with lovely eye candy as i said earlier the fights seem to just happen for no reason the opening fight is never explained seems to have neither ambition to destroy the world himself nor any real motivation to do anything nasty cloud sits around for the entire film and pretty much everyone else gets an obligatory cameo br br really was an ensemble piece children is anything but if they'd managed to give everyone some significant story role star trek first contact proved it was possible i might add then this could have been a lot better naturally that would have changed the plot too which lets be honest is almost set to be better than the one we got br br characters were also generally either or virtually forgotten the members of thats the group cloud worked with in for those who don't know get 2 scenes 3 in the case of vincent valentine and some get even less hell the bad guys get more lines than these guys and that is pretty bad br br the music well i don't care if is god himself he this film big time one angel was the only decent piece otherwise he couldn't decide whether to be epic and or fun with electric guitar when he switched from one to the other you felt it as though he'd taken a to your head br br and that last point on whether this movie was epic or fun it tried to be both and failed miserably honestly you can't please everyone and do everything the movie also tried to be deep you can go epic and deep or fun and deep but all three is too much but failed here too the last scene which is reminiscent of a ceremony was thrown in there for what looks like the sake of it you don't need to be a christian to just shake your head and cry there that scene just didn't belong in the film and nor did frequent appearances she's dead jim br br given just how fantastic i've heard final fantasy to be this movie is nothing short of a gigantic disappointment because of the beautiful visuals i give it a 2 out of 10,negative +a craven movie from 1995 directed by joe and starring lance a group of scientists save a dying man they find by their desert stranded government by him with their experimental virus of course one of their colleagues goes overboard and the virus transforms the man into a near monster with them trapped inside lance plays the morally offended who leaves the project before all this but returns after receiving a call for help to save the man pre death machine br br deciding to combine two in one he brings his family along with him they're going on vacation afterwards and proceeds to give them entry to the top secret government facility thus putting them right in the middle of the chaos within in case you can't tell this one relies on the viewer to work with it a little and put aside some petty see major and blatant details br br overall though watch able with mild bits of enjoyment note the is known under the title,negative +i was pulled into this movie early on much to my surprise because i hadn't intended to watch it at all now i wish i hadn't the suspense starts out well with the hit and run resulting in death and the question of whether the guilty character will confess or be found out or now though a no no in the old days of movie making get away with it the been done before what plot hasn't but the tensions inherent in it with the additional complications and motivations out of the love affair make for an absorbing first half then the film the hit and run to upon a misty exposition of two all suffering loves the two tracks of plot hit and run and love just don't have enough to do with each other and that they involve the same characters doesn't them enough to justify the departure from the original story line the screenwriter should have chosen one plot or the other at the end of the film in the midst of the movie's second funeral i found myself thinking now what does any of this have to do with that hit and run the filmmakers may think the answer obvious but i think the movie was plotted and executed,negative +the is an dull and overly child friendly 80's cheese parade directed by kevin creator of the much better films and night of the demons and starring the incredibly patrick supposedly depicting a guy with feelings the pacing is really slow the plot feels far too familiar the monster effects are all but and the film opens and ends with tedious narrative that somehow feels unrelated to the actual subject matter of the film the voice over keeps on about wind and creatures riding on wind but what the hell there's no wind in the plot like so many 80's horror movies the handles about cursed indian landscapes and all too real mythical monsters hidden in and and his family move into a house build on what once was the home of native americans but then white people came and turned the land into oil fields half of the script is wasted on explaining the origin of the monster but i can easily it for you an ancient indian the creature which looks like an over sized paper rat to the white people his land but he buried it again because and i quote the kills indians as well hugely irritating son accidentally the beast and naturally can't convince his parents about the big hungry rat in the the allegedly emotional family situation daddy constantly wants his son to love him is very pathetic and redundant and the film badly needed more bloodshed kids' movie or not the youthful hero chris miller is quite annoying but we've definitely seen worse kid actors in the 80's the is very much not recommended unless of course you're a fan of cheesy and typically 80's monster designs the big dodgy rat thing is a real hoot to see,negative +this movie is not worth seeing at least not at a cinema the story is hard to follow and understand it starts with 10 minutes of something happening 3 years earlier it's hard to know if this movie is trying to be a comedy or just is so bad weird that it sometimes seems like it american and lights on swedish police cars is just one example the acting of and is good as usual but i think jenny acting as acts very poor acts pretty well she's not been seen as an actor in swedish movies for a long time if you still want to see it wait until it's released on dvd or is shown on tv,negative +especially by this is the essential tarzan that i grew up reading when i was a kid i have read a few negative reviews on this film and couldn't help but wonder what their issue was they obviously didn't see the movie i did or they were expecting something that was more akin to the saturday afternoon serials br br this was the tarzan that was of the novel and the film makers should be for the source material and taking it seriously was excellent i still think he is one of hollywood's most under rated actors this was a movie that he shines in br br the photography and the apes done by rick baker both were amazing you definitely felt the since of the jungle the 2nd half attempt at being really pulls you into the emotional conflict he had was forced to resolve br br i highly recommend this film,positive +sweeping and still impressive early western of days other contemporary films in the same vein include the covered the iron horse and 1931 – none of which i've watched though i do have the latter on vhs it was simultaneously filmed in the standard ratio and in an experimental widescreen process called but only the former has been released on the bare bones fox dvd one can only how it would look in a wider ratio but the careful framing – not to mention the splendid cinematography – is evident enough even in the standard version br br young john wayne is surprisingly commanding in the lead a role which however didn't lead to the expected stardom – as he'd in westerns for the best part of the next decade before john ford came to his rescue with 1939 anyway he and from daughter 1936 make a nice couple – despite her somewhat tedious character supporting characters include a variety of stock types veteran comic relief sidekick with a for making noises with his mouth and villain played by power sr his two slimy a mexican and a the latter also filling in as wayne's rival for hand etc also among the members of the party is a full of optimism for the promised land but who's continually put down by his mother in law and later wayne regular ward bond br br the episodic narrative itself into a number of alternately lyrical and action packed vignettes – as we see the the elements the indians and themselves the film however has a completely authentic feel to it which over its essentially dated and static quality also the editing is somewhat choppy particularly during the second half – little wonder since the dvd edition of the film is only minutes long against the complete minute version,positive +the journey is a very good film produced in the spring of 1958 in vienna and released in 1959 this movie was quite popular in his early years despite the political problems which influenced the movie's success because the story happens during the hungarian revolution the cold war the journey is a very good film but not well known i think it should be released immediately on dvd because most of the people who have seen it so far want to have it at home one of the most important qualities of the film is the extraordinary chemistry between deborah kerr and their intense relationship all their scenes together are very important but they also reveal the strong feelings the great passion and love between the characters major and diana another quality is the script which is very well written it was even published as a novel by the screen player george the film keeps its tension from the beginning to the end at first we didn't know if diana and the other could leave because the communist major discovers that friend paul is hungarian and he isn't allowed to leave the country the major falls deeply in love with diana and this is in fact the true reason why he doesn't want to let her go but after he her and gives her one of the most memorable kisses ever seen on screen and she kisses him too he lets her go and the end of the film is one of the most dramatic endings ever filmed the major and diana say goodbye she arrives at the frontier with all the including paul while is shot several times by some so he dies is very very handsome and deborah kerr is very beautiful charming just like an english lady and deborah are perfect together they are one of the greatest couples of the golden hollywood a true should watch this film the journey has everything that a good film should have a great captivating story interesting characters a wonderful direction is in my opinion at his best finally i want to give a message to warner bros studios or those who and release classic films please release the journey on dvd as soon as possible,positive +okay maybe it was because i happen to be in china when i saw this movie maybe it was because i finally had something on tv i could understand or at least read the subtitles or maybe it was just funny whatever it was this movie was worth the time br br i had just arrived for my foot and head when they gave me the remote so i could watch tv usually i would turn the darn thing off but i stumbled upon this crazy movie and got hooked br br the plot if you could call it a plot sort of revolves around a cooking competition and sort of is a love story and the food in this movie is the real star if you like iron chef and many of the other cooking shows currently in the reality tv mode then you will love the scenes with food in this movie br br it goes fast and the subtitles are so fast you better be up on speed reading for this one however the action is mostly slapstick so you don't always have to read the entire to get the idea br br the main actress is lovely eye candy and the main actor isn't bad to look at either they are both worth watching finally if you have some time to kill and want a good laugh this isn't a bad choice for both br br i don't speak a word of chinese but i was totally able to understand the cultural humor of this film for those who do speak chinese maybe it is even better overall i give this an 8 out of 10 and currently i am even looking to find a copy to have while i stay in china and keep for when i come back home it will be a nice reminder for me of my time in and a silly afternoon at the watching a silly movie,positive +the italian job is a caper movie done by the numbers riding on the back of every caper cliche it rises to no particular heights and will be a movie by about the end of the month br br the biggest problem is that the italian job possesses no imagination at all i've seen it all before and done better then the acting is fine the cinematography is completely acceptable but this film breaks absolutely no new ground br br let's off the cliches br br old school criminal father figure and his br br another gang member jealous of br br a double cross br br only bad guys use guns while good guy criminals don't have to br br good criminals always the bad guys br br and that's about the first fifteen minutes everything is so predictable even the heist and car chase scenes supposedly the highlight of the movie seem pretty ordinary this is especially true since they appeared in the trailers for the film so i already knew what to look for br br for me a caper film works only if it has an element of realism that maybe just maybe it could be pulled off without relying on a ex or just because moments parts of the italian job just throws that out the window with computers doing things that computers can't do the good guys not hitting anyone with their driving especially going down the stairs and not one single police car to street explosions driven or even a low flying helicopter must be a heck of a city for these things not to rate a response br br the acting is passable with the crew seth green jason and being at least fun to watch mark is just too smarmy as the nice guy hero while is about the only actor called on to display some kind of range donald sutherland is a class act as always and shows up every moment they are together br br overall this is a pretty uninteresting film given the imdb ratings it's the girls that really love this film which i can understand to some extent but there are such better caper films out there even the of the recent eleven the non event that is the italian job br br spoiler br br at the conclusion take a moment to think about what is going to happen to character are we meant to be cheering the good guys for causing his demise especially since it would appear to be long and painful he didn't deserve that creep that he was br br end spoiler,negative +i accidentally caught this in the middle flipping channels i immediately recognized almost everyone in the cast aside and wondered what kind of film could attract such a cast of both past and future stars having not seen the original i guessed it might be the adventure since it was obviously on a ship in distress was i wrong i cannot for the life of me imagine why any of these great or promising actors and actresses would allow their name to be associated with such trash there is no story the performances all looked forced the characters a parody of the usual disaster movie roles that are suddenly brought together by an event and start about the real meaning of life at the level of philosophy br br it is only worthwhile to see the unusually awful performances by such as sally field michael caine et al they must have needed the money badly can we blame the director,negative +if it wasn't for colin the movie would be ready for the dust bin so so silly and so badly acted only colin as always shines through this mess as single light on the end of the tunnel br br the worst was jennifer acting for sure maybe it was because of this script did they actually have really written one or was it just made up on the way br br to cut a long story short br br it is a must see only for colin fanatics like me since he is incredibly sexy and good acting struggling hard against this mentally challenged script these minutes of colin screen time make up a lot of this movie br br don't spend too much money on it though try to see or get it as cheap as possible an or something like that and then do stick to the colin scenes br br the rest of the movie might be dangerous for mental health,negative +i saw this film over 20 years ago and still remember how much i loved it it really touched me and i thoroughly enjoyed work in it highly recommended atmospheric and touching br br i think of this film from time to time and am disappointed it hasn't enjoyed as much of a revival as many classic films hadn't realized i searched for it today that it won an academy award for best original story for ben and charles macarthur br br basically it involves a nasty character who destroys career and is cursed because of it he dies but is allowed redemption if he can convince someone to shed a tear over him the bulk of the movies shows him in pursuit of this goal well written and lovely i had known him for his plays so i was surprised to see him in this role on tv late one night in new york a must see if you ever have the opportunity,positive +john cusack stars as in this silly little movie that has to be one of the best of the eighties teen comedies believe it or not moore is his co star if you love the eighties grew up around that time or are an angst ridden teenage artist get ready to laugh wait until you see the cartoons what a riot,positive +this film is good in it's genre and that genre is naturally action with a little average budget looks like van damme delivers greatly better performances when he has a good director him there is your basic bar alley scene and mostly a lot of gun fighting some basic drama but nothing too deep directs an ok action flick if you ignore the weak plot and the holes in it but the person who steals the show is br br scott how come this guy isn't a massive arnold caliber action star that i don't know director has made a movie with scott before called special forces 2003 which has some unbelievable martial arts talent that will satisfy the most demanding enthusiastic another amazing scott feature is 2 check this guy out and make a noise this guy needs to get super action star status and he needs to get it now br br what else can i say about the movie it's van damme stepping up a notch from some of his most recent work no oscars here for sure but you already knew that but never the less it has a nice little town feel and i could find worse ways to spend my time so i'm giving this a solid 7 out of 10 in it's genre,positive +before you dismiss my post as not getting it let me say i'm one of the biggest richard kelly and the twilight zone fans out there is one my all time favorites and i even thought tales had it's moments i'm a huge sci fi fan i was very excited to see the box couldn't wait for it to come out br br having said that the box is terrible behind drag me to hell this was the worst movie i've seen in 2009 and it just simply will not end whenever you think you've reached the end another change in the plot and you're off to more torture i was actually in the theater by the end of the film i could hardly take it anymore br br the biggest problem with the box no matter how you slice it or try to justify it is that it simply makes little sense trust me i got it i understood what was going on but that doesn't mean it makes a lot of sense looking back on it take the for example the main couple cameron diaz and james playing norma and arthur lewis diaz loses her at her job then to her husband that they are living paycheck to paycheck well sell that f ing your husband is driving then they live in a beautiful 2 story house in a nice is working what seems to be a high paid job at and diaz is an accomplished teacher and yes drives an overly expensive car but they are somehow living paycheck to paycheck no need to press the button just cut down your high lifestyle a bit the movie would have worked better if they showed the couple and in serious debt instead they are seemingly desperate for money all the while living what i would call a lifestyle like i said you can understand what's going on yet it still makes little sense that's a rare combination br br there was an awful scene in a library that i feel will go down as one of the worst segments in movie history terribly acted too by the way it was idiotic illogical and out of place i can't even begin to fully describe it actually so i will move onto a subplot that involves nose and body possession by aliens yes i'm being serious unfortunately a kid is in class with a wicked and smile on his face a sinister smile that seemingly goes by completely by everyone in authority at the school he starts asking diaz personal questions literally embarrassing her in front of her class no punishment is given to the kid whatsoever he didn't even get asked to stay after class for a talk then diaz is at a party and the same kid is one of the hired help shirt and all i don't know many alien possessed kids who appear to be in junior high that also as a bus boy at parties by teachers and school officials but we found one here see what i mean you can understand it completely but it still makes no sense a rare like many things in the movie the kid comes and goes no real explanation about him no ending to his character moving on a lady then approaches diaz in a store telling her that experiments are being ran secretly and her family is one of the test subjects well hmmm if aliens possess the powers where they can take over a body remotely and the aliens don't want to help diaz then who was taking over this body and giving diaz advice again the lady was trying to help diaz and the aliens weren't interested in helping diaz so who the hell was controlling her body never explained never talked about again no nothing it goes on and on and on like this for what seemed to me like 2 weeks it would not end i wonder if this movie a massive re shoot at some point it was poorly edited accent was there one minute gone the next sub plots began but never ended the numerous push backs of the release date obviously shows the problems the producers had with the finished product it's truly a train wreck br br pass on this one there's no redeeming value in it whatsoever 3 out of 10 just because i like diaz and sci fi but it probably deserves a 1 out of 10 br br thanks for reading br br,negative +distant is a slice of turkish life flick which follows the mundane activities of two adult male cousins one a photographer and the other an unemployed there's little doubt that auteur is a work in progress with considerable talent however this little foreign arty is so full of empty filler and so devoid of story or anything engaging or provocative that it will likely appeal to only the most avid of cinema and mainstream audiences should look elsewhere i personally grew quickly bored with the slow pace of the film and found myself fast through the empty spaces and there are many between dialogue plot development and denouement distant is a very nicely done bit of b,positive +when i know that walter will never grace another set i was in my 30's when i first saw this sweet endearing and romantic film i loved it from the first scene and all the way through to the end art was his usual self glenda matched walter step for step in the and richard benjamin the sarcastic voice of reason that he does so well along the way there were many actors whom we all recognize doing their usual brilliance there are a couple of lines in the movie which my so and i have used throughout the years but i won't say anything about them here i'm pretty sure you will know which two i am talking about just get this movie make some popcorn grab your squeeze if he is as sappy as mine is for which i am thankful and enjoy this standout romantic comedy from the 70's you will not be disappointed however i have the feeling that i am preaching to the choir here because anyone who loves walter will already own it i'm very glad it's out on dvd now finally,positive +this is supposed to be charlie's masterpiece but i will that it is actually one of his weaker films first of all it's not funny not one thing in this movie made me laugh okay there's a quick jump into a box that was a giggle but that was one of desperation the first and only where he speaks he sings in an earlier film but his flat dialogue shows us exactly why he was such a joy to watch in modern times and gold rush two films that are at least ten times better than this film there's literally only one good scene in this film the one where hitler plays with the globe like a beach ball that's it br br okay so it gets a lot of praise for being the first film to war even long before we entered the war nope not true simply not true so that praise can be turned down a bit the three stooges did it on january 19 1940 with you spy ten months earlier than the october release of film and that movie was actually funny if you want to watch greatest film watch this only for reference and then pop in modern times gold rush city lights the kid or even romance,negative +i watched this on sky tv late one night as i am a vampire fan i must admit i half expected it to be a b movie disaster but i was pleasantly wrong br br is about a family of vampires when a vampire lord dies his two sons the handsome and noble and his brother the evil hideous start a war with each other over their birth right the the is a holy grail of sorts for vampires and it the blood of saints which give the vampire who drinks it an ultimate high br br the fight for the takes an unexpected turn when 3 college students turn up in the territory on a school trip and has to protect them from his brothers br br like i said i went into this film not expecting much at all but it was one of the best low budget movies i have ever seen the sets and locations romania i think been a while since i've seen it are very nice and the music score did the film justice br br most of the acting was adequate but its as the evil that steals the movie and all the subsequent sequels performance as the twisted is truly breathtaking and the film simply from okay to pretty d good,positive +this movie travels on 8 2 kisses and 100 clichés than should be possible yet it still works brilliant br br as i was driving home from the theater i tried to figure out how it got away with movie like the pages of a novel blowing across a beach or the impossible series of without the entire audience standing up and screaming i've seen that a million times before and you've pushed beyond the edge of believability but the actors were so enchanting and the screen so filled with believable extras that i forgot to care a friend who saw it with me said it transported him to paris so perfectly that he was disappointed when we left the theater and realized we were still in indiana br br overall a romantic comedy thriller with subtlety wit and,positive +i know that the original psycho was a classic and it was a mistake especially a shot by shot remake i think that that has been more or less by the rest of the comments here but there's far more wrong with this movie than just that br br the first problem is the color the original film was shot in black and white but what few people realize is the original was shot after color film had been invented the choice of black and white film was partially a budget concern but it was also a choice of hitchcock's now this is not to say that the remake should have been in black and white but the colors of this movie are all too wrong the most colors in the film are orange and green particularly on marion who is not supposed to be a flashy character the bright colors make it look like a happy movie and when horrific events take place in these color schemes it looks like a cartoon more than anything and the audience is inclined to laugh rather than scream br br the second problem is the lighting this is a dark dark tale which should be by dim lighting but this remake seemed not only to fail in this but seemed to go in the opposite direction most of the scenes are very lit even at times when it is illogical to do so because it's at night br br another obvious problem is vince performance yes he does pull off norman and madness quite well i don't deny him that but there is one element to the character that he failed to show the there should be a certain to the character at least at first which then fades away once we realize the truth about him beyond being a character of norman bates this is a recognized character of all br br there are a few good aspects of this film some of the performances are great as i said vince vaughn came very close to pulling off a decent portrayal of norman bates viggo and moore were great together and their chemistry was very different from the characters in the original which was a welcome change anne may have been atrocious but unlike janet leigh who was advertised as one of the biggest stars of the film anne was given last billing in the opening credits br br i read on the cover of a copy of the psycho novel that gus van claimed this was not a remake of the hitchcock film but rather a new adaptation of the original novel i now wish that i had bought that book and saved the comment because after seeing this film that comment is quite possibly the funniest thing i have ever seen there was no attempt in this film to disguise the fact that it was a rip off of the original and it would be far more believable if van had tried to tell us that he was really a three ton ape from the planet so many shots were copied exactly without any actual thought as to why hitchcock had composed the original shot in that way such as the scene in which sam and are talking while their faces are entirely covered in shadow hitchcock covered these actors' faces in shadow because he thought they were bad actors and wanted to hide their faces so nobody could see their awful performances not because of any artistic or purpose br br in other words my review is about as pointless as the movie itself in that it something that's already been said like everyone else here i you don't waste your time on this film and get the original,negative +when i was young i was a big fan of the naked gun movies but just recently i watched the show police and i think its great leslie awesome alan north is cool and who the heck is rex hamilton but anyways it's one goofy show br br one of my favorite parts of this show when they do the freeze frame scene during the end credits i think my favorite one is when not o j walks in during the scene and he tries to fit in with the freeze frame classic br br the only problem to me is the cigarette gag gets very old when shows a cigarette to someone and asks cigarette and the person replies yes i know i think they used it too many times by whatever br br good acting good gags great show br br 7 10,positive +flight of the living dead sports production values that the script from director scott i'm a producer tell thomas and two who shall remain because i feel sorry for them having to those no names to this turkey apparently actually shot on film this direct to dvd release has almost nothing going for it that you haven't seen or heard a hundred times already br br despite the presence of a number of recognizable character actors like richard three high stargate and raymond j little children barry and a slew of others not so recognizable is populated with cardboard most of which ends up in unconvincing fake blood there are a few precious few gags that work the and the zombie trapped in his seat both come to mind but most of the scripting is pedestrian and comic book stupid and i am here to assure you that we're talking pedestrian and stupid you'll never for a second believe that is anything but a cheap cash in movie with of cool god it ever the sequel its idiotic ending promises br br strictly viewing depending on how your local library is and otherwise suitable for and the only,negative +started out moderately interesting but never went anywhere except tedium city a low rent affair with no name actors and laughable effects not recommended for any reason the best thing that could be said is it looks like they really filmed it on location in the desert that's it i can't think of one thing good besides that about this stinker the finale is supposed to be some kind of revelation but falls flat like the rest oh i thought of one other good point about this cheese it in at just over an hour although it still wears out its welcome long before then when the girl starts walking around in the desert at night it seems to last forever and just keeps getting worse from there the attempts at horror aren't effective in the least the story is an attempt at a twilight zone style feel but fails badly check out for a good science fiction b movie,negative +with this film being directed by roger and quentin tarantino doing the screenplay i was sure this was going to be a gem i was wrong i don't hate this film but in no ways do i like it br br i love roger because of his amazing direction in rules of attraction and his screenplays to pulp fiction and silent hill but he made a mistake making this do i really need to comment on tarantino we all know hes a genius br br this movie is just set around a gang robbing a bank but fails due to silly people in the robbery br br i'm disappointed in tarantino and for doing this film but doesn't change my mind on how amazing they both are everyone makes mistakes 3 10 j d,negative +dire beyond belief obviously set on the of man as the us very badly and full of cut rate british actors who can't do american accents a

write more but it's already been said here why can't british or us tv produce such masterpieces the wire had the realism and politics and epic of a city david lynch and dennis potter had imaginative to their tv work too but this is art house and soap at its most cinematic and narrative sublime it's never included in choices of best films but it should be still as poetic and powerful as when i first saw it over 17 years ago i watch the 3 sets every for their inspired and inspiring,positive +this was a highly hyped movie prior to its release but turned out to be a dud i never talked to one person who ever liked this movie i agree i didn't like it either perhaps one big reason it wasn't a box office success was that it had nothing but unappealing characters in the story br br for awhile there i don't know if this is still true i hadn't any movie in which laura or dylan walsh played anything but annoying characters br br that and a stupid story make this film a big disappointment especially considering that big did the filmmakers with dialog this dumb really think this was going to be a hit,negative
